Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

This is an incredible boon for ordinary people.

At first, Empress Murong and her comrades thought that since there was nothing new under the sun, the entire system of Xiangfan City would collapse soon. However, to their surprise, the entire system not only did not collapse, but became even more robust.

Everyone held Jiang Xuan in the highest esteem, and Xu Weixiong and others were also the second-in-commands of Western Chu.

The people of Western Chu had already mythologized Jiang Xuan, so in their minds, Xu Weixiong was the one who truly held the reins.

Xu Weixiong never disappointed them, always managing to solve various problems effectively.

To make the entire city of Xiangfan better and better.

At that time, Taiping Ling even thought that the women around Jiang Xuan would definitely fight each other because of jealousy.

After all, when a woman gets jealous, she really won't tolerate anyone.

Xu Weixiong was not one to be subservient to others, so how could he easily allow Princess Suizhu to ascend to the throne?

Moreover, now there's also the Minister of Works, Nangong, whom no one would want.

After all, there are others who see Jiang Xuan differently.

Xu Weixiong was Jiang Xuan's true first woman; she was the only one who could become his wife and the first lady he married.

However, to the surprise of the crowd who had come to watch the spectacle, no fight broke out.

Everything disappeared, and no one was fighting.

The expected arguments, hair-pulling, and all sorts of other things didn't happen at all.

This was quite disappointing for the Northern Barbarians.

The Northern Mang Empress frowned deeply, and then remained silent for a long while.

"How's the matter of contacting Xu Weixiong going? Any news?"

Upon hearing what the other party said, Lee Myeong-pil stepped forward, but his expression revealed embarrassment.

After all, he was the one who initiated this, but this is how it ended up.

However, seeing this, Empress Murong did not say anything, but looked at the other party calmly, and finally shook her head.

That's just how some things are; once you know the outcome, there's no need to say so much.

Empress Murong knew Li Mibi's strength, but now that things had turned out this way, it had little to do with him alone.

After all, apart from Li Mibi, whether it was Yuan Benxi, or Nalan Youci, Li Yishan, and so on, their final fates were not good.

Li Yishan hasn't fallen yet, but Yuan Benxi, Yang Taisui, and Nalan Youci are all dead.

It is said that Yuan Benxi and Nalan Youci died at the hands of Jiang Xuan.

Some say that Yuan Benxi actually fled, but was eventually secretly executed by Xu Weixiong.

In short, regardless of whether Yuan Benxi is dead or alive, he eventually disappeared.

Faced with this situation, what could Empress Murong do, and what would she say?

No need.

At this moment, Empress Murong took a deep breath and said.

"How about a more overt partnership?"

At this moment, Li Mibi stepped forward again, and looked at Empress Murong in front of him and said.

"The deal is reasonable; it's a collaboration between the two parties to share the profits."

"As for how much can be divided up, it all depends on one's own strength."

Upon hearing Li Mibi's words, the people present showed expressions of great interest.

After all, if it were to be divided up, the Northern Barbarians would have a lot to say about it.

Over the years, they have done countless things around the Li Yang Dynasty, killing two birds with one stone.

So this isn't something you can easily handle?

However, before these people could rejoice, Taiping Ling suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"What about the end?"

finally?

"What do you mean, 'finally'?"

Tuoba Pusa looked at Taiping Ling with a puzzled expression.

The next second, Taiping Ling shook his head and said.

"What I really mean is, if we both win, will we continue fighting, or what?"

Upon hearing Taiping Ling's words, Tuoba Pusa clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and then swung it forcefully.

"Of course we should continue fighting. Let them, the Western Chu, know the true strength of our Northern Mang."

Upon hearing what this guy said, Li Mibi suddenly spoke up.

"But what about Beiliang? We still have to take care of Beiliang, after all, we're too close to them."

"They might get a share of the spoils when they attack Liyang."

Empress Murong raised an eyebrow, a look of interest appearing on her face.

"How do you know that Beiliang won't help the Liyang Dynasty to attack us?"

"You know, those fools in Beiliang aren't particularly smart."

Upon hearing Empress Murong's words, everyone present fell silent.

After all, what she said was absolutely correct; it was indeed true.

But they couldn't think of a good solution at that moment.

Just as everyone fell silent, Taiping Ling suddenly spoke.

"If we were to cooperate with Northern Liang, how would you respond?"

Upon hearing Taiping Ling's words, everyone instinctively wanted to refuse, but immediately shut their mouths.

Chapter 187 The Two Kings Join Forces: Kill Her for Me!

Liyang, Tai'an City.

Zhao Zhuanming was in his prime, but his face was etched with the marks of time, and he looked somewhat dejected.

Zhao Zhuan accepted the memorial handed to him by the young eunuch, and at the same time, he looked up and subconsciously glanced at Zhang Julu.

He originally wanted to kill the former prime minister, but now he no longer looked as spirited as he once was. His hair was completely white and his face was covered with wrinkles.

Zhang Julu was already quite old, and even if he hadn't died this time, he felt he should step down.

Who knew that Jiang Xuan's actions would actually extend his career?

After all, the entire Li Yang Dynasty is gradually declining, and Yuan Benxi, Yang Taisui and others have all died at the hands of Jiang Xuan.

Furthermore, without the addition of fresh blood, if we wait for young people to take the lead, the Liyang Dynasty will probably have already undergone a complete transformation.

Zhao Zhuan had no choice but to continue using Zhang Julu.

Zhang Julu truly lived up to expectations, working tirelessly day and night until his dying breath.

However, just as Zhang Julu was like this, so was Zhao Zhuan.

The entire Liyang Dynasty can be said to have been held up entirely by these two people.

"Cough cough cough..."

However, it's clear that Zhang Julu won't be able to hold on for much longer.

"How is Zhang Aiqing? Is he alright?"

Hearing Zhao Zhuan's words, Zhang Julu gave a wry smile and couldn't help but think to himself.

Since the young emperor said that, how could I possibly reply?

He said he was fine?

But how could someone who's coughing like this say they're fine?

But in the end, Zhang Julu shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This old minister has no problem."

Zhao Zhuan was naturally aware of Zhang Julu's health condition, since there were two imperial physicians in the palace who were already living in Zhang Julu's residence.

The emperor was worried that Zhang Julu might be unwell, but of course, he was most afraid that Zhang Julu would suddenly die.

Because at this time, the Liyang Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles. If something really happened, then Liyang would be finished.

There is no chance of saving it.

Zhao Zhuan then looked at the other person and said.

"Is my cousin still causing trouble?"

Zhang Julu paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Zhao Zhuan couldn't help but rub his temples, and said with a wry smile.

"The late emperor really left me with a huge mess."

Zhang Julu shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, the late emperor originally planned to deal with the internal situation first, and then take action against Beiliang."

"Using the pretext of the Northern Barbarians, we drove away wolves and tigers."

"But unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely disrupting all of the late emperor's plans."

Upon hearing Zhang Julu's words, Zhao Zhuan couldn't help but give a wry smile, thinking to himself.

If it weren't for Jiang Xuan, my father wouldn't have died so young.

After all, Jiang Xuan's actions were truly shocking and frustrating.

After all, whether in martial arts or strategy, no one in the entire Li Yang Dynasty could rival him.

If it was possible before, it's absolutely impossible now.

Jiang Xuan has grown powerful enough that he is no longer someone that the Li Yang Dynasty can easily manipulate.
