You know, the huge sense of oppression on them just now almost made them breathless.

After the mysterious person left, it was much better.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling suddenly dreamlike and unreal.

That person is simply too powerful.

Not only is his cultivation base terrifying, but he can also make alchemy with bare hands.

It's almost not like a real person.

Of course, it wasn't a human being, it was just an incarnation of Xiao Xuan.

However, Emperor Xia Xiao Zhan, who had recovered his state now, was reminding them that they were not dreaming just now, everything was real.

"Father!"

Xiao Yan hurried forward and asked:
"Father, how do you feel now?"

"Almost fully recovered from the injury."

Emperor Xia said slowly.

He looked at his son and couldn't help being a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this son, who seemed a little weak on weekdays, would have the courage to draw his sword and slash at the mysterious man just now when everyone was terrified and trembling.

This couldn't help but make Emperor Xia Xiao Zhan look at Xiao Yan with admiration.

At this moment, Xiao Zhan felt that he might not fully understand this son.

At this time, several imperial physicians stepped forward one after another, and checked Emperor Xia's body again.

This is the only way to confirm Xiahuang's injury, and he has almost recovered.

"The incarnation outside the body just now was condensed from spiritual energy and sword energy, and it was the sword intent of the wind. I am afraid that he is the strong man who has helped us several times."

At this time, Old Chen, who was forced to kneel on the ground just now, also came from outside and said slowly.

"It should be the strong man."

After Xiahuang paused, he said:
"At first, I thought that he had an enmity with the Ice Sect, so he helped us several times. Now it seems that it is not that simple."

"Even if he wasn't hiding in the palace, he was definitely inextricably linked with the Great Xia royal family."

"Your Majesty's speculation is very reasonable."

Old Chen and many important officials nodded, and they all had the same idea in their hearts.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to focus on the investigation of the strong men who had a relationship with the Great Xia royal family and their descendants."

Jin Yiwei Zhen Fu envoy said in a deep voice.

Although Xiao Xuan had already warned him just now, this is what Jin Yiwei did.

"no!"

Emperor Xia immediately said:
"From today onwards, it is no longer allowed to investigate the identity of the strong man, so as not to anger him."

"Now we already know that the strong man has a good impression of the Great Xia royal family, that's enough, it doesn't matter if we don't know about the others."

"Well."

Jin Yiwei Zhenfu envoy nodded upon hearing this.

"Also, what happened here today, you must block the news, and no one is allowed to spread it."

Emperor Xia said again:
"Just say that the imperial physician cured the emperor's injury."

"According to the order."

All the people present said one after another.

Those who appeared here today are all important officials of the court, and the Imperial Forest Army outside are also the most elite group.

So it is very simple to block the news.

And Xiao Xuan, who was outside, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Ten years should be enough to stabilize the prince's position."

Xiao Xuan murmured to himself, pondered for a moment, he felt that it was almost the same.

After all, it was only necessary to hand over the army to Xiao Yan, and replace the important generals in the army with Xiao Yan's people.

Or let them be grateful to Xiao Yan, that's enough.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan didn't think about it any more, lay down on the recliner, and continued to rest.

In the next period of time, the news that Emperor Xia recovered from his injuries caused the princes and princes everywhere to be extremely disappointed.

If Xiao Yan inherits the throne now, even if they don't seize the throne, they can still coerce and lure them to gain more fiefdoms and power.

In the past two years, a large number of important generals in the army were imprisoned in the prison without warning.

A small part of them really violated the law secretly.

But a bigger part is completely weaving charges.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple interrogated these generals together, and all of them were arrested for a while.

For a moment, people were panicked, and no one knew what would happen to them.

Let you drink from the golden bottle, and you will not be spared with a white blade!
This was what Emperor Xia had said to them when he ascended the throne.

They never thought that the white blade would fall on their own heads so quickly.

Not only in the army, but also in the imperial court, many officials, even the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, were imprisoned in prisons.

Some of the princes and princes from all over the country were relatively weak, and Jin Yiwei directly broke into the palace to arrest them.

For a time, the wind was roaring.

All the princes were also a little scared, not knowing what Emperor Xia was going to do.

Many princes gave heavy gifts to the prince, hoping that the prince would speak more kind words in front of Emperor Xia.

Not only princes, but also many ministers in the court also went to curry favor with the prince.

After all, in this dynasty, only the crown prince can persuade Emperor Xia.

And Xiao Yan also had a very headache because of this matter, so he chose to confide in Ye Qingyao.

After all, the two of them knew each other and had a good relationship.

Moreover, she is also a descendant of the general.

"You said, father imprisoned so many ministers, generals, and vassal kings at once, shouldn't they all be killed?"

Xiao Yan asked with some worry.

Although he somewhat hated those princes, those who were arrested by Emperor Xia's orders were all young princes.

They don't have much power, and few of them dare to seize the people's fields on weekdays and run rampant.

Otherwise, the local officials will not spare them.

"Don't worry! They won't die for the time being. In the end, whether they are dead or alive depends entirely on you."

Ye Qingyao said lightly.

She has read through the 24 histories, and she understands the emperor's strategy.

"Yaoyao, what does this mean?"

Xiao Yan was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you tell me last time that Emperor Father only has ten years left to live? He is now imprisoning these generals, ministers, and princes, and accusing them of crimes one by one."

"Then kill one every now and then. When he passes away and you ascend the throne, kill a small number of those who are truly guilty, and release most of the innocent ones."

"When the time comes, those who are still alive will not be grateful to you?"

After Xiao Xuan paused, he continued:
"Besides, when the time comes, everyone will feel that the father is getting old and confused in his later years. Fortunately, you have a wise king like you succeeding to the throne, and the hearts of the people will be on your side."

"Actually, this scheme is not particularly complicated. Even many ministers who have been imprisoned understand it in their hearts."

Ye Qingyao paused, then continued:
"But when the butcher's knife was really hanging on them and the whole family, there was only fear in their hearts."

"Because no one knows what Emperor Xia thinks."

"Whoever can forgive them at that time will be their reborn parents."
