Empress: The Old Emperor's Way to Pursue His Wife

Chapter 88 Flattery (2)

What's more, there is now a daughter of the Xiao family who "my daughter can't marry you" and a prime minister who "my life is not long".

Xiao Yi looked at the two of them calmly, and grinned: "Look, I told King Wu Ning to send troops!"

Mo Yanxiao: "Your Majesty, don't you plan to play rogue with Wang Shilang?"

"Of course."

Xiao Yi's written evidence for Wang Jing was nothing more than empty paper. It turned out that Xiao Yi secretly sent people to the Western Regions to obtain a special kind of paper from the Western Regions, non-marking paper.

No trace paper, as the name suggests, the paper has no trace.No matter what was written on it, after a while, everything on that paper will disappear into thin air.

In other words, just now, the guarantee Wang Jing received was nothing more than a promise that would disappear in a few days.

During the war, no one in the court knew that King Wuning had rebelled a long time ago. At this time, he went to find King Wuning alone and was not eaten by him.

But for Xiao Yi's promise, Wang Jing would go even if he died.

"Your Majesty, why is King Wu Ning willing to send troops so easily?" Mo Yanxiao said righteously.

"Because I told him in a letter that I have found Zheng Xiao!" Xiao Yi replied with a smile.

"Then the emperor has really found Zheng Xiao?"

"No."

"Wang Shilang will return to Beijing if he becomes angry?"

"King Wu Ning will kill Wang Jing when he sees the letter!"

"Why?"

"Wang Jing is guilty of corruption and accepting bribes!"

"Come here, let the wind out, and say that Zheng Xiao, the daughter of King Wuning, is now in the palace!"

However, Mo Yanxiao was a little unclear, why Xiao Yi didn't tell him this matter earlier, if it was the past, he would definitely ask himself for instructions on things like buying non-traceable paper.

Now, has he cultivated cronies again?Or, I doubt myself.

The king's heart is unpredictable, this king was supported by himself, and everything about him, including his great talents and great strategies, was directed by himself.

But now, his methods made Mo Yanxiao fearful, and he seemed to be getting out of his control.

Perhaps, this man is gradually becoming an emperor!
For the first time, Mo Yanxiao had an incomprehensible look towards Xiao Yi.

"Master Mo, Master Mo!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

"Uh, I'm distracted, I'm getting old, I'm getting old." Mo Yanxiao tweeted.

"Tch, Master Mo, you are only a few years older than me, don't talk about being old or dead!" Xiao Yi said dissatisfied.

"Master Mo, do you have anything else to do?" Xiao Yi kept winking at Mo Yanxiao.

"Chen, it's time for you to go back and drink the medicine!"

"Your Majesty, Duke Ding Wei Liu is coming soon!" Not long after Mo Yanxiao left, a young eunuch rushed in.

Xiao Yi suddenly had the three spirits still there, but the seven spirits were frightened away early in the morning.

If there are people in this world who Xiao Yi is afraid of to the bottom of his heart, they are nothing more than two people. One is Xiao Moyu, his father-in-law-to-be, and the other is Wei Liu, who has power over the government.

Both of them have a common characteristic: whenever they frown, Xiao Yi's legs will tremble three times.

Although they don't know how to beat Xiao Yi, he is the emperor after all, but it's very common for someone to be unhappy and scold him bloody like his own child.

I don't know what's wrong with Wei Liu who suddenly came into the palace again today.

"Chen Wei Liu, see the emperor!" Wei Liu stepped into the imperial study with bright eyes, and casually clasped his fists as a salute.

"Come, come, let Father Zhong give me a seat!" Xiao Yi became that good-for-nothing emperor again.

After dragging the chair brought by the eunuch, Wei Liu sat down slowly, looking domineering like a god.

"Hello, Uncle Wei!" Xiao Yi greeted with a smile.

Wei Liu waved his hand and turned to look at Xiao Yi.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have decided to bring the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of War into the harem!" Wei Liu's tone could not hear sadness or joy.

"Um, yes, no." Xiao Yi spoke intermittently and vaguely.

"May I ask if the emperor has discussed it with his ministers?" Before Xiao Yiwei came to power, this was the most common sentence Wei Liu said.

Of course, this is every time Xiao Yi decides to do things according to his own wishes.For example, Xiao Yi's "Floating Cloud Edict" many years ago, Wei Liu used this tone to talk to himself.

"I, I, this, this..." For so many years, even though they faced each other every day, Xiao Yi still couldn't even have a basic conversation with Wei Liu.

Although Wei Liu didn't clamp Xiao Yi's neck with a knife, Xiao Yi acted like "you're just bullying me" every time.

For so many years, every morning, Xiao Yi's memorial to Wei Liu was the simplest word: "Yes!"

"Your majesty, you haven't answered the minister's question." Wei Liu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, I..."

Stuttering again!A generation of foolish rulers was left speechless by a single question from a powerful treacherous minister.

"Uncle Wei, brother Yi didn't mean to ask the daughter of the servant of the military department to enter the palace, brother Yi lied to him!" Xiao Yi came out to save the siege at the critical moment, Xiao Yi couldn't help sighing in his heart, a daughter in a family is like a life-saving talisman!

"On the way I was going to come, why did I hear Wang Jing yelling all the way back, saying that the emperor was taken in by his daughter! By the way, where is my daughter-in-law?" Wei Liu still didn't believe it.

collected?daughter in law?
If being speechless could choke someone to death, Xiao Yi would have died on the spot.

Earlier, King Wu Ning had the attitude of "I want to rebel unless you marry my daughter", so he had to ask Wei Liu's son to seduce Zheng Xiao. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two was deeply rooted, but what happened later was unexpected. So much so that now Xiao Yi's heart is filled with a heavy sense of guilt.

Today, Wei Liu must have heard the rumors outside the palace and thought that Zheng Xiao had found it.

Zheng Xiao is Huaiyin's lifeblood, Huaiyin is Wei Liu's lifeblood, in other words, Zheng Xiao is Wei Liu's lifeblood!
Now that Minggen has been found, Wei Liu has no choice but to rush to find Minggen!
Looking at Mo Yanxiao again, seeing that he had no intention of helping him out at all, Xiao Yi wanted to cry without tears, begging for mercy: "Father Zhong, I, I was wrong!"

After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Wei Liu understood what it meant.

After a long sigh, Wei Liu waved his hands: "That's all, that's all!"

"This time, you did a good job!" Wei Liu's praise was reluctant, but it was Wei Liu's first affirmation to Xiao Yi.

"Uncle Wei, Elder Brother Yi has done too much. Would you like me to teach him a lesson?" Xiao Yi's words made Xiao Yi feel sour in an instant. Tears washed my face.

Uncle Webb?Wei Liu, Father Zhong, Duke Ding!
As soon as Xiao Yi heard "Uncle Wei", Xiao Yi's thoughts changed again, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, his eyes darkened, and his face became condensed: he is also a vicious person.

"Brother Yi, Father Zhong didn't trouble you, but you did trouble him. Tell me, what should I do!" Seeing that Wei Liu didn't speak, Xiao Yi continued to speak lightly on the surface.

"I'm in trouble with Zhongfu, I'm in trouble with Zhongfu, when will I be in trouble with Zhongfu, trouble, trouble..."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself, her heartbeat stopped three times, and her breathing was a little rough.

If Xiao Yi was asked to find a way to make Wei Liu find trouble for him, it must mean that Xiao Yi took the wrong medicine, went to the wrong bed, married the wrong wife, in short, deliberately seeking abuse.

However, if Xiao Yi caused trouble for Wei Liu, it must be Xiao Yi's brain is tricked, selling his wife, making trouble in Xiao's house, in a word, you are courting death!

Helplessly glanced at Xiao Yi, Wei Liu said sonorously: "Your Majesty, according to the latest battle report, Wu Guo and Rongdi have already formed an alliance! If King Wu Ning's army goes to the front line this time, the frontier will be safe!"

Xiao Yi's mind became hot: "Father Zhong means that King Wu Ning is in the way?"

As soon as this remark came out, Wei Liu immediately glared at each other: "What did the emperor just say?"

Wei Liu walked away in a flick of his sleeve, and with the sound of flapping, a white-feathered eagle flew in.

The White Feather Eagle is the means of communication in the News Pavilion, but any matter Xiao Yi ordered to investigate will be transmitted through the White Feather Eagle, but I don't know what it will bring today.

The white-feathered eagle landed on Xiao Yi's shoulder meekly, gently took off the bamboo tube on its claws, looked at the phoenix eyes, and was shocked: "Assassin, King Wu Ning!"

The scene a month ago is still vivid in my memory, when more than a dozen assassins were massacred to the bedroom, Xiao Yi had no choice but to fight the enemy with his sword, if the imperial guards hadn't arrived in the end, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Xiao Yi guessed that it was Rong Di. She thought that King Wu Ning just wanted to send his daughter to the harem, but he didn't expect that he would jump the wall and take such a risk.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi!" Seeing Xiao Yi still standing there stupidly, Xiao Yi was dissatisfied, "I can't come here, I'm going back!"

These words really worked, Xiao Yi immediately ran over like a pug, and casually took Xiao Yi onto him: "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

Showing the note to Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi wasn't shocked at all, as if he had expected it: "Yueyue, let's not talk about such a serious matter, shall we?"

"King Wu Ning is going to kill you, can you be serious?"

"These things are enough for me, you don't need to worry about them!"

Xiao Yi's words made Xiao Yi feel lost in an instant, as if her elder brother Yi had grown into a person who could protect her side.

"Then what are you going to do?" Xiao Yi broke the casserole and asked.

"How to deal with it? How to deal with it?" Xiao Yi grinned: "Why don't we talk about it as a child!"

"……roll!"

It is precisely because there are many unknown undercurrents surging that the king who sits on the world will be in a panic every day.

Suspicion is the emperor's fault, so the cunning rabbit died, and the running dog cooked it up.

Greed is the transgression of the courtiers, so there is a way to coerce the emperor to make the world's deceitful emperor ignore him.

For thousands of years, because of suspicion, I don't know how many loyal ministers and good generals have lost their lives under the companion of the king; because of greed, I don't know how many treacherous ministers and rebellious sons have set off swords and soldiers.

In fact, what Xiao Yi didn't know was that when Xiao Yi saw the words on the note, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: It would be fine if it wasn't him!

This great Chu can be an enemy of Rong Di, Wu Guo and Wei Guo, and King Wu Ning.

However, you must not be an enemy of that person!
He knows Da Chu too well, from the appointment of officials to the deployment of individual soldiers, sometimes even better than the emperor himself.

Sometimes, Xiao Yi would even think that the reason he assisted him was because he regarded this country as his.

People say that it is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.

For the former emperor teacher, now the prime minister, one person is less than ten thousand people, Xiao Yi did not know when he had to guard against it.

Fifteen days later, King Wuning's 20 troops joined forces with Xiao Shu.

The government and the public were shaken again. Except for Wei Liu and Mo Yanxiao, all the officials speculated whether King Wu Ning had taken the wrong medicine. Didn't he invite Rong Di?Isn't he going to rebel?How can I go to the border to fight now?

But this news is really great news for Da Chu, or all those who are loyal to Da Chu.

With an army of 20, even if it was Rongdi and Wei Guo, their soldiers and horses added together would be at most 15.

However, just when everyone thought that Da Chu would beat Rong Di and Wei Guo to pieces, a series of news sent back from the News Pavilion made Xiao Yi completely furious!

Since Rong Di invaded Chu, the members of the news pavilion all over the world cut off all transactions and put all their eggs in one basket to find out the news of the war ahead and the hostile camp.

Because of the relationship with the white-feathered eagle, Xiao Yi often has an insight into the battle situation before the [-]-mile rush ahead.

It stands to reason that with the joining of King Wuning's troops, the Chu army would be able to sweep Rong and Di with ease.

But the actual situation is that when King Wu Ning arrived at the border, instead of sending his troops straight down, he secretly repaired the book and Rongdi, during which the unclear relationship between the two parties was clearly revealed.

Xiao Shu, who was in the same camp, couldn't hide these things, so naturally all these things were sent to the imperial capital quickly.

Regarding King Wu Ning's little calculation, Xiao Yixin wrote a sentence on the memorial: It can be replaced!
King Wu Ning colluded with Rong Di to attack the city and seize the territory of Da Chu, and his intention of plotting against the law was clearly seen by Emperor Xiao, who only pretended to be crazy and pretended to be a "hands-off shopkeeper" all day long.

However, Xiao Yi almost couldn't sit on his dragon chair when he was asked to investigate by the News Pavilion before, and he wished he could take his precious jade seal to smash King Wuning to pieces.

A few months ago, Wei State had not yet formed an alliance with Rong Di, and Xiao Shu's army took back the five lost cities of Da Chu in a row along the way, and drove Rong Di out of the border.

At that time, there were many victories, and a battle was fought so happily that it could be as hearty as it could be!
During that period, Xiao Yi, who only knew how to pretend "I'm the emperor, I'm very serious" in the court all day, was rolling on the ground with joy, that way of expression was like a child sucking milk.

But later, Xiao Shu didn't fight Rong Di to the death like everyone thought.

Xiao Yi, who only knew all day long that he would "find the prime minister if there is something to do, and go back to the court for dinner if there is nothing to do", couldn't help but wonder if his brother-in-law was also trying to plot something wrong, but when he thought of the quasi-Empress Xiao who came here on time every day to pull out the dragon's beard, Xiao Yi's mute eating Coptis chinensis also gradually downplayed the matter.

As for the incident of the man in black entering the palace to assassinate and the alliance between Wei Guo and Rongdi, Lord Xiao Dahun completely forgot about it.

"Wu Ning Wang falsely preached the imperial decree and ordered Marshal Xiao to stand still!"

Looking at the content on the note, Xiao Yi couldn't help grinning, "I want to eat people"!
If King Wu Ning hadn't intervened, the war at the border would have ceased, Rong and Di would have surrendered early, and there would be no such thing as an alliance between Wei and Wu!

It turns out that Zheng Xiao's act of coercing King Wuning did not seem to go so smoothly.
