At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 455 The Emperor's Dependence

But it just can't break out.

I don't know if it can't break out, so I have to send someone to appease it.

Who can blame Xiao Han for having 500,000 elite cavalrymen under his command, the territory of eleven states, and unparalleled martial arts skills?

This is his bottom line.

It is also a place that the emperor fears.

"Your Majesty, if you are worried, I will go there myself."

Gao Qian said: "Xiao Han is a very arrogant person. If someone else goes there, they may not be able to get anything out of him."

"I'm busy lately, go do other things."

The emperor's eyes were grim, and the cold murderous aura he exuded unintentionally made Gao Qian, a great master of the Celestial Realm, tremble with fear.

"One day, I will make him bow down before me."

There was a strong resentment in the emperor's tone.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to think about why Xiao Han could rise in such a short time. This was inseparable from her help.

The death of the previous emperor left him with Xie Xuanli, a huge worry for him.

He had to support Xiao Han to divide Jizhou internally and establish the Xiliang flag to counter the Xie Zi Wang flag.

From the Governor of Xiliang County to the Governor of Xiliang Prefecture, the General Zhenbei, and then to the Marquis of Xiliang and the King of Xiliang.

Xiao Han's rise was inseparable from the emperor's behind-the-scenes support, but later, Xiliang annexed Jizhou and then destroyed Northern Wei.

Xiao Han gradually slipped away from his control until he grew up completely, and the emperor even lost one of his most beloved princesses.

He hates it!
I hate myself for being so blind.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Han's ambition is much greater than Xie Xuanli's.

At that time, Xie Xuanli was in charge of the three states of Jizhou, Youzhou and Yongzhou. Although he had a strong army and was arrogant and domineering, he pretended to obey the imperial court but at least he had no intention of replacing it.

Let’s take a look at Xiliang now.

His territory expanded to eleven states, he had 500,000 cavalrymen under his command, controlled the trade routes of the Western Regions, and supported Qing Yao and Xie Changqing's Dong Yue Army in Jiangnan.

The wolf's ambition is obvious.

If possible.

The emperor wished he could cut him into pieces with his sword and chop him into pulp.

But even if you have a strong murderous intention, you can't show it at this time.

"Go down."

He waved.

After Gao Qian bowed, he quickly left the hall.

"Asshole."

“They are all bastards.”

Listening to the impotent roars and shrill screams coming from behind him, Gao Qian did not turn around, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The current emperor is not even as good as the King of Xiliang in character and political schemes.

The disdain in his eyes disappeared and he walked away quickly.

"Drag him out and deal with him."

After a while.

Inside the hall, the emperor, with blood on his face, stood at the door. He threw the sword in his hand on the ground and gave orders to the guards at the door.

Inside the palace.

There lay the bodies of two palace maids, their faces blurred and blood oozing out of their bodies, staining the hall red.

The terrified guards came in, dragged the palace maid's body out, and buried it in an abandoned courtyard.

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.

This is a truth that everyone understands, especially when following such a heartless and ungrateful king.

You never know when the head on your shoulders will be chopped off for some inexplicable reason.

The emperor, wrapped in a long robe with a five-clawed golden dragon stained with traces of blood, passed through one palace after another, crossed over the winding pavilions and finally arrived deep in the imperial city.

Stop in front of an ancient temple.

There was a black roof, beams and a heavy door, and two old eunuchs guarding the door.

"His Majesty."

Seeing the emperor coming, come here, the old eunuch knelt down hurriedly.

"Open the door."

His tone left no room for doubt.

"promise."

The heavy door was opened, and it was pitch black inside. When he stepped into the hall, he felt a cold breath coming towards him.

The emperor couldn't help but shudder. He pushed open the second door, suppressing the discomfort in his heart. The view suddenly became brighter. The hall was extremely empty. On the left and right sides, there were shelves with candles on them, emitting a dim light.

He walked forward step by step and finally stopped in front of the screen. A figure could be vaguely seen behind the screen.

"His Majesty."

A gentle voice came from behind the screen.

"Why?"

"Xiao Han is here."

The emperor got straight to the point, "Just now, I entered the capital from the east gate and was heading towards the Xiliang Palace."

silence.

The person behind the screen did not respond immediately, and only after a moment did a voice come out.

"I've sensed it."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"how?"

The emperor's tone sounded somewhat urgent, as if hope was burning in his heart again.

"If you take action, it's hard to keep it forever."

“I can’t stay.”

The figure behind the screen shook his head and said, "Although we haven't fought each other, just relying on the aura sensing, even if I fight him in the capital, I have no chance of winning."

"Not even 50%?"

The expression of the current emperor is extremely ferocious.

"No."

"Don't even mention 50%, not even 10%."

"impossible."

He could not accept this answer: "I am using the country's fortune for you to absorb. Didn't you say at the beginning that as long as you are in the capital, even if the old monster Wang comes, you will be invincible."

"His Majesty."

"This person's cultivation should be much stronger than Old Monster Wang."

The figure said leisurely: "When one's martial arts cultivation reaches that level, even if I can defeat him by one move or two, if he wants to leave, I can't stop him at all."

"Then do you have any other way to kill this thief?"

The emperor was almost in despair.

"No."

The man shook his head and then fell silent again.

There was a long silence.

"let me try."

"it is good."

The emperor nodded.

After coming out of this mysterious hall, his heart became even darker and heavier, and he seemed to be almost unable to breathe.

Countless days and nights.

Xiliang seemed like a huge momentum pressing on his heart, making him restless and even waking up from nightmares many times.

Even in the past few days.

He also dreamed that the Western Liang cavalry marched south and broke through the capital city, a huge fire broke out in the palace, and he was covered in blood, lying among a mountain of corpses.

As long as Xiliang is not destroyed.

As long as Xiao Han survives.

He became unable to sleep or eat.

Come in a hurry, leave in despair.

On the wide streets, people were coming and going, and there were many cars and carriages belonging to princes and nobles, which were extremely luxurious.

There are inns and taverns on both sides of the street, and shops selling rare treasures are numerous.

"Come and have a look, have a look."

“The best jade in the Western Regions.”

“The best of the best.”

"Don't miss the sheepskin coats of Shangdang if you pass by."

"Xiliang silk, top quality material."

The cries of many servants and vendors could be heard incessantly. The carriage slowly moved along the road, crossed the busiest street, and then turned into the alleys, making many turns. It took more than half an hour to complete the journey.

The dusk was dark, the wind was cold, snowflakes were falling from the sky, covering the earth with a layer of white velvet.
