Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 738 Breakup
Li Yaoxuan turned around and walked towards the military formation, very decisively, without looking back.

Due to the death of the National Master Ran Jianli, it is not appropriate to completely break up at this critical juncture. The Emperor and the Prime Minister need to stick together in public to resist the sect for a short period of time. But the moment Xu Yinhe rejected Li Yaoxuan, the relationship had actually broken down internally.

Li Yaoxuan walked slowly forward on the wet grass after the rain. On the horizon ahead was a solemn formation of soldiers ready for battle.

Nearly a hundred years old, as a dying man, Li Yaoxuan no longer looks at many things as naively as he did in the past, but has become more insightful. However, he could not have imagined that the two parties of the emperor and the prime minister would eventually collapse and split over the issue of heirs.

When they were young, the two of them drank and talked happily. They talked about many things, among which they mentioned that Xu Yinhe's attitude towards his family was not that of a qualified superior.

No one is heartless, and Li Yaoxuan did want to live a happy family like the prime minister, but his power forced him to suppress this emotion.

One's offspring are the inheritance of blood, the continuation of one's existence, and the sustenance of one's emotions.
But every generation of the royal family faces the top people who have emerged from millions of people! Without cold-blooded training and careful training, how can you fight against these people?
Fortunately, Xu Yinhe was lucky and his three sons were all very capable. Otherwise, with the training model of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xu Yinhe would have been able to have nothing in his life.

To know,
As the Emperor of Great Yan, he had heard about what the other party's adopted daughter had done outside.

Other than that,

Those in power should be ruthless, especially the monarch.

What you think about is the national policy.

Any emotional fluctuations will be infinitely amplified when reflected in national policies.

Fortunately, in the past few decades, although Xu Yinhe loved his son, he did not protect him. Even at the risk of life and death of his close ones, he never took any action for them.

Li Yaoxuan never expected that the prime minister would give him a big blow before his death.

He didn't understand why Xu Yinhe suddenly changed his mind.

The hidden meaning behind Xu Yuan's dissipation of his power is that he, Li Yaoxuan, will clear all obstacles for Wu Yuan to ascend to the throne.

The royal family would sentence Li Zhaoyuan to death, but the prime minister's residence would only have to pay the price of Xu Yuan's cultivation.

This is a necessary condition of mutual trust.

Only in this way will the imperial party recognize Li Qingyan's legitimacy, and then let the emperor continue along the path of the past, clear out the local sects, and return power to the central government!
Li Yaoxuan did this to protect his Li family, but if he really did it for this reason, how could he promise the prime minister to stay alive in the end?

The process of clearing out the sect is bound to be bloody and will inevitably harm the people. If we continue along this path, once the emperor and the prime minister win the war, how will the two of them cope with the loss of external pressure?

Will a second civil war break out between two giants with completely different interests in the already devastated territory of Da Yan?
By then, the country will be weak.

How about Gu Yuan?

How about the Western Desert?

What about the golden-haired ghost from the sea? !

Therefore,
Da Yan needs Xu Yuan to be the link of this peace.

The royal family led by Wu Yuan and the prime minister's office dominated by Xu Changge gave the world a window period, transforming the second hot war that was poisoning the world and confining it to the power struggle among the top leaders of Dayan.

This will kill people, a lot of people, but those who will die will no longer be the children of farmers, businessmen and industrialists, but the princes and nobles of the upper class.

Royal ministers and nobles such as Lou Ji, Hua Hong, Wu Chenghou, and Wang Shili might all die in this internal struggle among the top leaders, but at least they can recuperate at the bottom.

As for the third generation,
Whether they will successfully merge together during this century-long window period, or become more divided and opposed, these things are too far away and are no longer something that an old man on his deathbed can consider.

Therefore,
Li Yaoxuan finally returned to the battle formation with a hunched back figure, still not understanding.
The Northern Hunt had reached this point and could no longer proceed.

The white deer that was released as prey jumped and disappeared on the skyline. In such a solemn atmosphere, no strong man in the army dared to leave and catch it.

After watching the entire Northern Hunt, perhaps the only beneficiary was this auspicious beast. It should have been hunted, but somehow it got free.

Xu Yinhe remained where he was without moving.

The Emperor's Palace was destroyed, so Li Zhaoyuan found a carriage for the Emperor and the Prime Minister. Unfortunately, only the Emperor returned to the army. After getting on the carriage, the Emperor showed no intention of waiting and ordered indifferently:

"Go back to Beijing."

"."

Li Zhaoyuan glanced hesitantly at the other side of the trench on the battlefield, his starry eyes flashed with thought, and then he nodded in agreement.

As military orders were issued one after another, in a short while, after several changes of formation, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses turned around in an orderly manner and marched south along the official road.

And until Huanglonglin disappeared from the end of his sight, the emperor did not look back even once.

The troops marched in a mighty force, and the emperor remained silent after getting on the carriage.

Above the blue sky where rain clouds were forcibly dispersed by force, the rising sun gradually became brighter, reflecting the dim light on the armor. Tens of thousands of soldiers guarded the imperial carriage and moved southward at a steady pace.

Li Zhaoyuan rode a magical horse and followed the imperial carriage, waiting quietly. With such a big event happening, it was very likely that his father would have something to tell him.

After traveling more than twenty miles, a calm and slow voice finally came from the imperial carriage:

"You should be happy."

"."

This inconclusive conclusion brought a smile to Li Zhaoyuan's lips.

As he thought,
Talk fell apart.

Even through the tightly closed curtains, the old man inside seemed to be able to see the smile on the heir's face and asked calmly:

"Zhao Yuan, you seem to have guessed the debate between me and the Prime Minister?"

The horse's hooves pounded the ground, Li Zhaoyuan held the reins and replied calmly:
"It's a little unexpected, but with such a sudden change, you can always guess something."

"Ah"

Li Yaoxuan chuckled and leaned back on the soft couch in the car, saying, "Do you think that I was planning to kill Xu Yinhe again from the beginning?"

Li Zhaoyuan did not deny it and said:
"Never."

Li Yaoxuan's voice was filled with interest:
"Oh? Everyone in the world agrees with this Hongmen Banquet, but you have a different opinion?"

Li Zhaoyuan replied calmly:

"An ordinary saint can be stopped by one army (of 10,000), and can be killed by two armies. Prime Minister Xu and your father, three armies are not enough. If you want to capture and kill him, you may need five armies. And I am only leading 30,000 troops this time."

Li Yaoxuan asked:

"What's the reason?"

"Because you're selfish."

"."

Li Zhaoyuan glanced at the imperial carriage: "You will be entangled between the righteousness of the royal family and personal interests, but in the end..." "You have become much braver."

The voice from inside the imperial carriage interrupted him. Li Zhaoyuan bowed his head and apologized:

"The child is overstepping his bounds."

Although his thoughts were seen through, Li Yaoxuan was not angry at all. Instead, he sighed:
"My father's words that I said casually back then seem to have come true now."

Hearing these words of obvious praise, Li Zhaoyuan did not nod in response, but asked:

"Father, can you allow me to speak frankly?"

Li Yaoxuan tapped the wooden edge with his fingertips, making a tapping sound:
"You don't seem to agree with me, but go ahead."

"I am different from you at heart. You took the initiative to fight for the world, but I just wanted to prove something."

As the situation has developed to this point, many things no longer need to be concealed, and Li Zhaoyuan is very clear that his father will not let his likes and dislikes affect his final choice.

Therefore, Li Zhaoyuan said it very straightforwardly, glancing in the direction of Huanglonglin:

"Father, do you still remember the hunt in the north?"

"remember."

"That time, my mother advised me to hide my incompetence and not take the first prize in the Northern Hunting Expedition, otherwise it might arouse jealousy. At that time, I didn't agree with it. I believed that the world is fair, and that if you work hard, you will definitely get something in return, and those who are capable will definitely get the top position! But the result, you already know it. The Queen issued an imperial edict, and my mother and I went to Hanwei Palace to guard it for seven years."

Li Zhaoyuan stared at the vast blue sky ahead, speaking calmly and firmly:
"Father, I have heard many rumors over the years that I opened a government office to avenge my mother's persecution of me and my mother. In order to prevent my mother and myself from being bullied by others, I have to climb to the top step by step. Do you think this is true?"

"."

Li Yaoxuan did not answer, but just listened quietly.

After a few breaths without receiving a reply, Li Zhaoyuan continued, his dark eyes sparkling with desire:

"I don't deny this, because I am a human being, and as a human being I will hate and complain, but I want to fight for the world, not for such trivial matters. I just want to prove to the world that hard work will pay off, and those who are capable will surely rise to the top!"

After listening slowly, Li Yaoxuan exhaled lightly and asked with a smile:
"But you are a royal family after all, if not..."

"Then the child will be Xu Xiang."

"."

Li Yaoxuan was startled and subconsciously glanced to the side, as if he was meeting this heir for the first time.

The Queen's messy order wasted Li Zhaoyuan's best seven years. Even so, has it not changed?
After a long silence, he smiled slowly and said:

"But whether you ascend the throne or not is ultimately a matter of uncertainty for others."

"That child will find a way to turn this uncertain thought into a certainty."

"What if you can't do that?"

"Oh, Father."

Li Zhaoyuan smiled lightly, took a deep breath, and said:

"If I hadn't been willing to accept defeat, I would never have taken this path."

The fingertips tapping the wooden edge paused, and Li Yaoxuan gently opened the tightly closed curtains of the imperial carriage:

"Can you see what just happened?"

"." Li Zhaoyuan paused.

Di An's change was caused by a voice transmission. The occurrence and end of the battle seemed a bit abrupt even for Li Yaoxuan, let alone Li Zhaoyuan who had not received the voice transmission.

"You secretly learned the military formation?"

Before he could think, a cold question came out again from the imperial carriage, but Li Zhaoyuan replied calmly:

"Of course, the foundation of the empire is the military formation. If I didn't know about the military formation, how could I have come this far?"

"."

There was a moment of silence in the imperial carriage, except for the clatter of horses' hooves.

After a long time, when the troops had marched several dozen miles, Li Yaoxuan's deep voice was heard again from the carriage:

"Zhao Yuan, have you ever thought about killing the king?"

"."

This question surprised Li Zhaoyuan a little.

I didn't know how to respond for a moment.

A ruler is ruthless and does not take pleasure in material things. Although my father's time is coming to an end, this issue at the moment is a bit too outrageous.

Admitting in person that you want to kill him?
"You heard it, but you didn't reply?"

Li Yaoxuan glanced at his offspring's profile and said casually:

"Xu Yinhe just said that if you have the intention to kill the king and the prime minister here, I will be very pleased. I think so too."

Li Zhaoyuan was silent for a few breaths, then turned his eyes and stared at the withered and silent eyes, very seriously:
"Father, I am only the child of a palace maid, and I have wasted the best seven years of my life."

"That's it"

After looking at each other for a moment, Li Yaoxuan smiled and nodded, then sighed with his wrinkles trembling slightly:
"It is my own fault that I have come to this point."

While talking,

He slowly withdrew his gaze, and the curtains of the imperial carriage slowly closed, but Li Zhaoyuan did not withdraw his gaze from the imperial carriage.

The rutting of wheels, the sound of horse hooves, the neighing of birds, and all the sounds of the heavy military formation seemed to have come to a halt at this moment.

then,

The emperor's calm voice came from the carriage:
"Zhao Yuan, let's go to the capital.

"and also,
“I’ll throw away your messy military formation technique when I get back.

“You have to learn.
"Then learn the sacred skills of my royal family."
