Yang Zhao could guess a little bit, but he didn't know how to comfort the other party. He definitely wouldn't force the other party to go with him.

Whether it was the Sui court or Persia, they were both thousands of miles away.

Yang Zhao is confident that he will have the power to deal with all threats before the crisis arrives.

But it was obvious that even if I told her, Daiqisi might not believe it.

"Sisi, be at ease. You have to believe in your husband. He can support the world for you. Even if the sky falls, your husband will only die before you..."

"Believe me, Sisi believes in you, husband. Can you please give me a little more time?"

"it is good!"

Yang Zhao was helpless. He couldn't pry open the other person's head and force his own ideas into it.

A long sigh.

Yang Zhao could only hold Dai Qisi tightly in his arms, gently stroke her long, smooth, black hair, and pass his strength and warmth to her.

The two of them were affectionate for a long time.

It was not until noon, after having lunch with Daiqisi, that Yang Zhao took Wu Yunzhao and others to leave Guangmingding and head towards the depths of the Kunlun Mountains.

After most of the day.

Yang Zhao and his group arrived at an inconspicuous cliff on a mountain thousands of miles away.

Following the direction of the hidden marks, everyone used their lightness skills to move downwards.

After climbing down the cliff for hundreds of meters and passing through a tunnel that had been dug over several years, Yang Zhao and his companions finally arrived at a vast valley.

This is a paradise, which seems to be located in a natural formation, full of spiritual energy and vitality.

In terms of straight-line distance alone, this place is not far from the Mingjiao Guangmingding.

But in the Kunlun Mountains, with its complex terrain and many taboos, it is not easy even for land immortals to find this place.

At the beginning, Yang Zhao sent people to look for this Kunlun Fairy Valley.

Even with some feature comparisons from past life memories, it still took several years.

After Zhuwu Villa on the cliff was razed to the ground, the Kunlun Fairy Valley completely became one of Yang Zhao's foundations.

Soon, they entered the depths of Kunlun Fairy Valley.

In the lush peach forest, buildings with green tiles and white walls began to appear.

A small building by the flowing water and fields.

The thousands of people under Yang Zhao's command have gradually developed into an exquisite town with all the necessary facilities in the Kunlun Fairy Valley.

"Greetings, Your Highness, Commander Wu..."

"Your Highness, may you live forever. Commander Wu is well..."

"..."

As they walked deeper into the town, people along the way greeted Yang Zhao and others with great respect.

Those who fell into the small town were all kind-hearted people from the six dynasties who were inexplicably implicated and framed. Most of them were craftsmen and farmers, and their folk customs were simple and honest.

At the end of the town, there is a slightly solemn and dignified manor.

After receiving the news that Yang Zhao and others had returned, a large group of people were waiting at the gate of the manor.

The person in charge was none other than Yang Zhao’s biological mother, Yang Yuanshi, Yuan Zhen.

The other person, tall and straight, with a head of neatly combed white hair, was Wu Jianzhang, one of the nine elders who founded the Sui Dynasty.

Chapter 16 Dialogue with King Zhongxiao

Yang Zhao's mother in this life was named Yuan Zhen. She was an extremely gentle and beautiful woman who never fought for anything.

I saw my mother standing in front of the door from afar.

Yang Zhao could no longer hold back, his feet moved quickly, his body flashed a few times, and he crossed a distance of several hundred meters and came in front of his mother.

"Zhao'er!"

"Mother!"

When mother and son meet, family love is everywhere.

At this moment, the eyes of Yang Zhao and his mother were filled with tears.

Ever since Yang Zhao was sent to Guangmingding of Kunlun Mountain at the age of eight, in the entire ten years, Yang Zhao and his mother had only had the opportunity to meet each other three or five times.

It has been more than four years since Yang Zhao last saw his mother.

Watch this scene.

Even a veteran like Wu Jianzhang, who was used to seeing death and separation, felt quite emotional.

"Crown Princess, Your Highness Prince Zhao, this is not the place to chat, please move inside the manor!"

"Lord Jianzhang, I am sorry to make you laugh."

"Haha, the relationship between the Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Zhao is a natural bond. How can it be a joke? It's just that there are many outsiders here, and the dignity of the royal family is more important."

"Lord Jianzhang is right. Zhao'er, come home with me..."

With the two elders Wu Jianzhang and Yuan Zhen present, the younger generations like Yang Zhao had no chance to speak at all.

He let his mother Yuan manipulate him for most of the hour.

After Yang Zhao had eaten eight bowls of rice, changed seven sets of clothes, and tried on six pairs of cloud boots, Yang Zhao's mother Yuanshi finally let him go with satisfaction. She took Yang Zhao's maid Hu Qingyang and went to the inner courtyard, ready to learn about her son's life over the past decade.

It was not until this time that Yang Zhao had the opportunity to sit opposite Wu Jianzhang.

Wu Jianzhang is tall and majestic, with white hair and vigorous hair. Even though he has restrained his edge for many years, he still has the imposing aura of a lion.

"Younger generation Yang Zhao greets King Zhongxiao!"

When the two met, Yang Zhao bowed first and said, "The journey to the Great Sui Dynasty is thousands of miles long and difficult. I would like to thank King Zhongxiao for protecting my mother's safety. Yang Zhao pays tribute to you!"

Wu Jianzhang looked solemn as he looked at Yang Zhao carefully without saying a word.

Facing Wu Jianzhang's scrutiny, Yang Zhao sat calmly and looked into his eyes without fear.

a long time.

Wu Jianzhang showed admiration on his face and said, "Prince Zhao is extraordinary!"

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Then, Prince Zhongxiao, do you think that Grandfather will agree with me?"

When Wu Jianzhang heard Yang Zhao's words, a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his face.

Yang Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Why should King Zhongxiao be surprised? As a descendant of the royal family, it is reasonable for Yang Zhao to know some of the royal family's background and the secrets of the court, right?"

Wu Jianzhang quickly calmed down his surprise and said, "May I ask Your Highness Prince Zhao, how many details do you know?"

Yang Zhao said solemnly, "The younger generation only knows that my great grandfather is still alive. There are many taboos in the palace of our Great Sui Dynasty. Grandfather and grandmother are even more powerful. If there is no disaster, with grandfather's means, the throne of our Great Sui Dynasty cannot be easily shaken by my second uncle and a few masters of the magic sect."

Wu Jianzhang nodded and said, "Your Highness is smart."

Wu Jianzhang spoke briefly, and after just four words, he said no more.

Yang Zhao was quite annoyed by this kind of temptation.

After a pause, Yang Zhao continued, "Grandfather was a great man of his generation. He had the merit of founding a country and the ability to rule the north and the south. However, our Great Sui Dynasty was not established for long. There were many aristocratic families, Buddhism and Taoism competing with each other, and there were also conflicts between the Hu and Han bloodlines and the endless disasters left over from the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

"At the beginning of the founding of the country, the remnants of the Northern Dynasty and the Guanlong clans were powerful. In order to maintain stability in the court, my grandfather used the name of the Yuan family as a descendant of the Northern Dynasty royal family to make my mother the crown prince's principal wife in order to appease the Guanlong clans."

"After conquering the Southern Dynasty, the Guanlong clans of the Northern Dynasty became more powerful. My grandfather asked my second uncle to marry a daughter of the Xiao family of the Southern Dynasty, and brought the aristocratic families of the Southern Dynasty into the government, so as to balance the government and the public with the dispute between the aristocratic families of the North and the South."

"The Guanlong clans are powerful, while the aristocratic clans are weak."

"So my grandfather and grandmother deliberately favored my second uncle in the court, demoted and punished my father, and used the struggle for the succession to attack Guanlong with the nobles, so that both could be weakened."

"In this way, after three generations, we can build up our foundation, gather the imperial power, and rectify the Yang family's rule."

“So the younger generation had guessed this a long time ago.”

"My grandfather and grandmother probably never thought of letting my father succeed to the throne. Especially since I was born with the hopes of the Guanlong family, it was a mistake to be born."

"King Zhongxiao, am I right?"

Yang Zhao spoke very calmly about his guesses and speculations, his hands not stopping.

Warm the utensils, place the tea, brew, wash and pour the tea.

By the time Yang Zhao finished telling all that he had speculated, he had just brewed a pot of pure and long-lasting fragrant tea. He casually poured the tea into two portions, one in front of Wu Jianzhang and the other in front of himself.

Wu Jianzhang was suddenly awakened by the warm aroma of tea.

To be honest, Yang Zhao’s previous words scared Wu Jianzhang completely.

Yang Zhao’s words were completely correct.

It can be said that many of the things Yang Zhao said were things Wu Jianzhang had experienced personally.

Only a handful of people in the entire Sui Dynasty knew about Yang Guang's plan to ascend to power and weaken the northern and southern clans. Even Yang Yong and Yang Guang were just unwitting pawns.

However, even such a top-secret matter, when spoken from Yang Zhao's mouth, sounded as if the other party had seen it with their own eyes.

Monster, a monster who is as smart as a monster.

At this moment, Wu Jianzhang's evaluation of Yang Zhao was just "evil spirit".

After a long while, Wu Jianzhang finally said with mixed emotions: "Prince Zhao is very wise, but unfortunately the world is like a chess game, and there is no regret after making a move. This is truly an irreparable pain for our Great Sui Dynasty!"

Yang Zhao laughed at himself and didn't say much.

Wu Jianzhang felt like he was drinking poison when he drank the tea. He lamented, "If King Zhao knew this, why did he send someone to invite me here?"

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "My great-grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, and even the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety should all be in seclusion as planned, right?"

Wu Jianzhang nodded and said, "There are many talented people among the northern and southern clans. This is the only way to dispel their vigilance."

This makes sense.

Yang Jian, Dugu Qieluo, King Zhongxiao, etc., are all pillars of the Sui Dynasty, capable of ruling the world.

As long as this pillar of jade that supports the sky is not hidden, the hidden dangers within the aristocratic families will never dare to reveal their disloyalty.

Yang Zhao understood and said, "Lord Zhongxiao, may I ask, was my second uncle's killing of his brother and father also part of my grandfather and grandmother's plan?"

Instantly, the face of Wu Jianzhang, the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety, changed drastically

Chapter 17: King Zhongxiao Surrenders

There is no parent in the world who does not love his or her children. Even the most ruthless emperor is not without affection for his or her children.

In the plan of Yang Jian and others.

He favored Yang Guang and alienated Yang Yong, and tried his best to get as many powerful families involved in the fight for the throne.

Balance the power of the eldest son and the second son and intensify the conflicts within the family.

In the end, whichever side has more power will lose.

This plan was originally extremely beneficial to Yang Guang, because the power of the Guanlong clans that supported Yang Yong had become so large that even Yang Jian found it difficult to deal with.

But no one, including Yang Jian, had expected this.

In this battle for the throne, Yang Guang actually chose the most radical and unwise way, which was to kill his brother and father in a palace coup to take the throne.

As the loyal and filial king Wu Jianzhang said, the world is like a chess game, and you should never regret your moves.

When things reached this point, even Yang Jian and other initiators of the plan were unable to reverse it.

So in this unplanned palace coup.

Yang Jian and others could only reluctantly sacrifice the life of their eldest son. Even Yang Jian had to pretend to be dead in order to escape without being exposed.

Including the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety Wu Jianzhang, a temporary script of cursing in the palace was arranged for them all in mourning clothes.

That is why Yang Zhao chose to take action at this critical juncture.

Otherwise, even Wu Jianzhang, the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety, would have to die in the name of "loyalty and filial piety".

Facing Yang Zhao’s question.

At this time, King Zhongxiao was extremely embarrassed.
