Xue Liujia was indignant. This should have been a perfect day: he led his troops into the Eastern Capital and took the palace as his own. This was once a dream he only dared to dream when sleeping alone. Now it has become a reality. Then there was a big banquet. All the generals were as happy as they wanted, and while everyone was happy, they exposed the true face of King Jin and killed him to establish his authority. When everyone was trembling with fear, they called in the Queen Mother and the maids, and rewarded them on the spot, and everyone rejoiced together...

He only continued to dream about the following scenes. Because of King Wu's interference, he didn't even succeed in killing King Jin, and the banquet broke up unhappy.

"They are working together to deal with me." Xue Liujia gritted his teeth and whispered to himself, not noticing his wife's brother Xiao Liuzi walking in.

"Brother-in-law, what are you muttering about?"

Xue Liujia was about to hit him with his stick, but Xiao Liuzi hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Don't worry, Prince Zu, I made a slip of the tongue."

"What are you doing here?" The person wrinkled his nose.

"You guys want to ask, when will things be divided? We have already entered the palace, what are we waiting for? Let's go and grab it, at least let everyone grab a palace maid, hehe..."

"Bah, are you so short-sighted? Let's... No, the entire palace belongs to me. With my order, all the women in the palace must come obediently. Do you need to rob them?"

"Yes, that's what I said. I'm used to it. Ancestor King, when will you let them come? Everyone is a little anxious waiting."

"I'm not in a hurry yet, why are you in a hurry? If you want to get rewards, do serious things first. What's going on with the kings?"

Xiao Liuzi scratched his head and said, "I'll ask you." After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the hall.

The hall was too empty, and there were several charcoal plates burning around the throne. Xue Liujia still felt cold, so he wrapped his robe tightly and repeatedly recalled every move of the kings at the banquet, trying to figure out how determined King Jin was and what role King Wu played in it. , What is King Ning planning, who does King Liang belong to, how credible are the words of King Shu...

Another general came in, cupped his hands and said: "Second uncle..."

"Um?"

"Uh... King Ancestor, King Ancestor." The general repeated it several times to strengthen his memory, and then said: "We can't leave the city now."

"What's the meaning?"

"Prince Ning and the others sent people to guard the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"My nephew is also 'anyone'?"

The general spread his hands and said, "Yes, that's what I said, but they refused to open the city gate. I wanted to beat them, but Lao Jiu pulled me away. Otherwise, I would have gone out and brought in the family members outside." City."

Xue Liujia didn't care whether he could welcome his family members into the city, but the city gate was blocked, which made him suddenly vigilant. He uttered a series of curses, "Everyone else has loyal ministers and helpers, why don't I?"

"Yes, we are all loyal ministers, and we are relatives. We are loyal to our second uncle... and our ancestor."

Xue Liujia did not specifically promote his relatives and friends, but after several purges, these people were the only ones left before he knew it. When I was just thinking about entering the palace with me, why didn't anyone try to seize the city gate? Now, I'm blocked and I want to close the door and beat the dog."

The general just laughed, and Xue Liujia became angrier as he watched, "Why are you standing there? Go to other city gates and take a look. When you get to Gan Zhao, say that I sent you out of the city."

"I'll try." The general ran out in a hurry.

Xue Liujia felt the chill growing more and more, and murmured: "If I am careless, the boat will not capsize in the gutter..." He raised his head and implored his thirty-three-day master: "Buddha must protect his disciple..."

Xue Liujia left the throne, knelt down and said to the sky: "My disciple Xue Liujia, please pray for the Buddha's blessing. If I can get rid of the kings and monopolize the eastern capital, and perform rituals for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, I will not burn paper money or paper objects. I will give you real people, real horses and real money..."

"Brother-in-law, are you chatting with Buddha again?" Xiao Liuzi came again without any sound of footsteps.

Xue Liujia was furious, stood up and walked down the steps, stretched out his hand to pinch his wife's brother's left ear, "Can't you understand some rules? You scare me every time."

"Prince Ancestor, please spare my life." Xiao Liuzi let out an exaggerated scream. This move usually worked well. Xue Liujia slapped his wife's brother on the head twice and let go.

"What's wrong with Prince Ancestor? He's still unhappy after living in the palace."

"Can I be happy? The kings are guarding the city gates and not letting our people in or out. They are obviously rebellious."

Xiao Liuzi's eyes lit up, "More than that, I heard that the kings' armies are all mobilizing towards the West City."

"Xicheng? Isn't that the direction Gan Zhao is guarding?"

"Xicheng is jointly guarded by Gan Zhao and Xu Chu. I don't know who the king's troops will go to."

"Idiot, who else could it be? It must be Xu Chu. He stood up to speak for King Jin at the banquet and was considered a figure. Bah, he is just a young boy, dare to fight with me?"

"Does the ancestor really want to marry his niece to Xu Chu?" Xiao Liuzi still remembered what he said at the banquet.

Xue Liujia looked at his brother-in-law with surprise and disgust, "You are so stupid...forget it, it is a benefit for stupid people to be obedient."

"I am obedient, the most obedient." Xiao Liuzi said with a smile, "Besides, Ancestor Wang and I are the 'Liu Liu Da Shun', and we are always in good hands."

Among the ten numbers, only "Xiao Liuzi" is easy to pronounce. The other numbers are suitable for "Xiao" but not "Zi". My brother-in-law is not a six-year-old, and he is used to being called by his family. He can't change it. Xue Liujia hated people with the same name as him at first, but because of the auspicious "Six Six Dashun", he agreed to let his brother-in-law continue to use the old name.

"Well, Dashun, since the kings' troops are dispatched to the west, the north, east and south must be empty. You take a thousand people to take down the two city gates in the north for me."

Xiao Liuzi is a loyal minister, not a fierce or reckless general. When he heard that he was going to fight, he immediately shook his head, "No, who knows if there is an ambush over there? Ning Baoguan is guarding the north. Even if he is the only one left, I dare not attack."

"Then go to the east and south." Xue Liujia said unhappily.

Xiao Liuzi still shook his head, "No, the cavalry of King Jin and King Liang are fighting ten to one. King Zu saw it with his own eyes. How can I be their opponent? King Zu, please send someone else."

Xue Liujia has many generals under him. When they get together to drink or fight in groups with more people, they are all brave. When it comes to leading troops to fight, they all retreat and no one dares to step forward.

Xue Liujia regretted that he had eliminated too many generals before. If he had left a few, he would not be left without anyone to use.

"There are still our people outside the city. Call them all in. Who are you afraid of?" Xiao Liuzi reminded.

"Bah, didn't I know there were people outside the city? The question is, can we get in? If we force our way in, we will anger the kings, and we will be in trouble..." Xue Liujia suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he no longer regretted that there was no one available under his command. He looked up and said, "I have the protection of the Buddha, and I don't need those outsiders with ulterior motives."

"Yes, there is no need, only our Huang family is an exception, we are a family with the ancestor king."

"Yes, a family." Xue Liujia retracted his gaze and looked at his brother-in-law with a smile.

Xiao Liuzi was stared at and felt uneasy. He laughed dryly and said, "Does the grandfather have a good idea?"

"No good idea, but I have an idea. Go and arrange it for me. I want to marry ten princesses tomorrow."

"Ah?"

"Why, you don't agree?"

"No, no, I mean...what about my sister?"

"What about her? Your surname is Huang, and she is a yellow-faced woman. Does she want to occupy the position of princess forever? I gave her some leeway before, but now I am the common ruler of the world. I am in the palace and she is outside the city. There are several walls between us, and the kings are guarding the gates. She can't control me even if she wants to."

"But...now is not the right time."

"When I say it's the right time, do it immediately and gather all the women in the palace. I will personally select beauties later." Xue Liujia was more and more proud as he thought about it.

"Well... okay, can the ancestor ask someone else to take care of it? If my sister knew that I..."

"Nonsense, we are all relatives, who do you want to take care of it? The yellow-faced woman will be lenient with you, and you are the most suitable person to take the lead. Go!"

Xiao Liuzi had no choice but to turn around and walk out with a sigh.

"Wait." Xue Liujia had a new idea.

"Has the ancestor changed his mind?" Xiao Liuzi laughed.

"I won't marry ten, so many are useless."

"Of course, the ancestor king already has more than 30 women in the camp outside, not to mention that everyone hasn't shared the sweetness yet, but the ancestor king himself..."

"Shut up, it's not your turn to criticize me. I won't marry ten, only one. Go out and inform everyone that tomorrow night, I will marry the queen mother and make her the queen of the world. Your sister is the princess, and you have to bow your head and kneel when you see the queen."

Xiao Liuzi's jaw almost dropped, "Brother-in-law, you forgot that the queen mother has long been favored by King Ning, and you also said that the banquet is their wedding wine."

"Who is the queen mother?"

"How should I know? I don't know her."

"Stupid, the queen mother is the wife of the Emperor of All Things, the mother of the fleeing little emperor."

"Oh."

"The woman that the Emperor of All Things will marry must be as beautiful as a fairy, and she won't be too old. No wonder Ning Baoer is tempted. There is only one such woman in the world, and she will never return. Who do I belong to? Ning Baoer is just one of the kings, how can he be worthy of the unique queen mother? "

Xiao Liuzi was speechless, "What should I do if I anger King Ning?"

"What should I do? I am a disciple of Maitreya Buddha, and I am afraid of a mortal? You don't have to make a big fuss, send someone to guard the queen mother's bedroom for me, and then invite all the kings and generals to drink my wedding wine together tomorrow night. The more people who know, the better, understand?"

"Okay, the ancestor king has the final say. Anyway, this is in the city, and my sister won't know for a while, I will keep it secret for the ancestor king..."

Xue Liujia stepped forward and slapped his brother-in-law, and said angrily: "Who asked you to keep it secret? Didn't you understand what I said? The more people who know, the better. I want to celebrate it all over the world, do I need you to keep it secret?"

"Yes, yes, I understand." Xiao Liuzi covered his cheek, and there was also a surge of anger in his heart. He secretly decided that he must pass the news to his sister outside the city and let the "yellow-faced woman" take care of his brother-in-law.

Xiao Liuzi left, and Xue Liujia returned to the throne. Holding the magic stick, he felt less cold and murmured, "You damned woman, you have been so arrogant your whole life. If you can't be arrogant this time, it will be a waste of our marriage."
