Thinking of this, Xin Yuanan couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and asked thoughtfully: "Certify the crown prince? Secret?"

Minister of the Ministry of War thought about what the spies had reported back, so he hesitated for a moment before replying: "Yes, that tyrant is not old, and he has no physical illness. Recently, the tyrant seems to think that... his life is numbered..."

Xin Yuanan felt a little strange when he heard this: "But what's the disease?"

Minister of the Ministry of War shook his head: "According to the spies, no abnormalities were found, but the emperor's temper became more and more irritable, and even the imperial physician couldn't get close."

Unable to be in the Great Zhou Palace, relying only on the spies' reports, and unable to know the truth, Xin Yuan'an's eyes were obscured, and he murmured in a low voice: "Even the imperial physician can't get close, it seems that he is indeed seriously ill. "

"According to the spies serving the tyrant in the palace, the news came that the tyrant wanted to find someone, but he couldn't find him after searching for a long time, and his temper became more and more irritable."

"Find someone?"

After hearing this sentence, although Xin Yuan'an felt that the Emperor Da Zhou was baffled, he somewhat believed that if Da Qi Ye Kingdom fought, the emperor probably would not have time to plan a black hand, but he couldn't help but sneered when he had a plan in mind.

"Isn't it ridiculous that the emperor of a country can't find the person he's looking for?"

Hearing Xin Yuan'an's words, Shangshu of the Ministry of War replied with a bit of speculation: "My minister suspects that the person the tyrant is looking for may be from another country, or he may have escaped from the Great Zhou, otherwise the tyrant would act like this." , it is impossible to get nothing.”

The land of Da Zhou is vast, and the emperor of Da Zhou is an arbitrary and authoritarian person. For so many years, the princes under his knees have been watching his position day by day. They have countless tricks to please him, but it is much more lively than Da Qi. , if one could find the person that the Emperor of Zhou asked for, he would definitely offer it up immediately for his favor—however, the strange thing was that neither the Emperor of Da Zhou nor the emperor's prince had found anything for that mysterious person.

Xin Yuan'an quickly sorted out this matter. What he wanted was for Da Zhou not to intervene. The current situation of Emperor Da Zhou is exactly the kind he is most willing to see: "This matter should be regarded as a tyrant's family business, and it is difficult to do anything about it." The people he is targeting——if it is true what the spies said, they can ignore Da Zhou for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the Ye Kingdom and the northern border."

After the words fell, he unconsciously pursed his lips, let out a low sneer, and raised his head sharply: "Ye Kingdom was originally a subordinate state of Daqi, but it has become more courageous in the past few years, and dared to directly reach out to Daqi. Is it to bully me not long after I first ascended the throne, so I can't command the army under my command?"

Hearing his words, Shangshu of the Ministry of War lowered his head and did not dare to answer this sentence. Now Yeguo is so provocative, if Xin Yuanping is the emperor, he may still hesitate, but Xin Yuanan is different from Xin Yuanping.

Because of the brother Xiao Ye, the two served as soldiers together in the northern border. Later, Marshal Xiao, who was guarding the northern border, recognized him and praised his bravery. This prince who was not valued in the court was named a forward by Marshal Xiao. General.

Back then, it was because the five princes made great military achievements in the northern border that the emperor loathed him even more. He felt that he was an unknown son, but now he was still acting like this, so he was detained in the palace, and it was almost impossible. Let him get in touch with any courtiers, even Xiao Ye always went to the palace to look for him because he was not a young man, and he recognized his brother when he was in the frontier, and after returning to Mingdu as a hostage.

Later, Xin Yuan'an went to the southern border again. Now that Mingdu has been bloodbathed after ascending to the throne of God, Mingdu civil servants dare not contend with him, and most of the generals have a good impression of him. Qi's military prestige, and the emperor's position is considered secure.

Thinking of these things, the Minister of the Ministry of War asked again: "I implore Your Majesty, this battle must be fought, and it must be fought beautifully!" "I know what you think, and what I think about this matter is no different from yours. "Since he said just now that he was going to attack the Kingdom of Ye, he had some calculations in his heart, and said in a deep voice after thinking, "The Kingdom of Ye is not a big country. The army in the north cannot be drawn out, but the army in the south However, it just so happens that the people from Southern Xinjiang who have just joined the army are impatient to prove to me that they are useful."

Hearing what he said, Minister of the Ministry of War unconsciously thought of the day when Mingdu was washed with blood, and Xin Yuanan at the moon banquet came bathed in blood and brought back the saint and the patriarch of Nanjiang. He knew that the people of Nanjiang must have their special means. Shi Shi showed a satisfied look, and Xiao Ye, who was standing beside the two of them, saw that the Minister of War received such an answer, his hesitant expression suddenly faded away, and he knelt down again in an instant, bowing his head to Xin Yuanan who was not far away.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing him kowtow to himself, Xin Yuan'an subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows. He knew that Xiao Ye was most likely to come up with whims and give him all kinds of problems, even if he became the emperor now. Afraid that nothing would change, he walked up to him and pulled him up, while pulling him up, he said helplessly, "Speak up if you have something to say, you and I have been brothers for many years, get up quickly."

As he expected, when he pulled him up, Xiao Ye showed an urgent expression, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have a presumptuous request. I want to replace my father." , guard the northern border!"

"You know, the northern region is especially bitter and cold."

When Xin Yuanan heard what he said, he felt that there was some ominous premonition, and it suddenly came out at this time, thinking that the Xiao family has always been a single family, and now Xiao Ye does not say that he has no descendants, and he has never even married a wife. It is especially dangerous to guard the northern border. Even generals cannot be sent casually. If they are not careful, they will die immediately. Marshal Xiao has built up his prestige in the northern border for many years. If he sends his son to guard it, it will naturally be very important to the court. It's a good thing, but it's more ominous for Xiao Ye.

Now that he has recovered the memory of his previous life, remembering the cause of Xiao Ye's death in his previous life, even if things are different now, he dare not let Xiao Ye go easily.

"If you can't break the beard, you will be like your father. In this lifetime, you will never be able to return to court."

When Xiao Ye heard what Xin Yuanan said, he knew what he was worried about. Hearing this, his expression became more serious, and he cupped his hands and said to the emperor in front of him.

"Weichen knows, and Weichen has made up his mind, and he will never make any changes! Weichen's father wrote a letter a while ago, although he tried his best to comfort Weichen in his heart, but Weichen knew in his heart that his father's body has become more and more serious. Too bad, I am afraid that if I wait any longer, if the barbarians attack Daqi in advance, my father may not survive this winter because of Daqi's border! Please allow me to go! Guard the northern border instead of my father!"

"Are you really going to replace your father and guard the northern border?"

Xin Yuanan saw that he was so stubborn, and he was unwilling to give in no matter what he said, so he couldn't help but bear the irritability in his heart, and suddenly asked each word: "It's not that I don't want you to be filial, and it's not that I don't want you to go, but that you Xiao The family has a single lineage, you have no wife and no children, and you have not left any descendants for the Xiao family, and now you are going to the northern border, do you want to die with all your heart?"

Xiao Ye didn't think about marrying a wife at all, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then seemed to think of something, slightly lowered his head and moved his lips, took a long time before he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's words are wrong! As the pillar of the country, the Xiao family has protected the northern border for generations, if the minister cannot protect the country, how can he protect the family?"

"Okay, that's true." Xin Yuanan saw that his complexion changed again and again, obviously something was on his mind, but he was still stubborn and refused to let go. He almost laughed angrily for a moment, and looked straight at him with Mo blue pupils. After a while, he suddenly said, "However, have you discussed with Murong Xiaoshulang about the matter of guarding the northern border?"

Xiao Ye was already a little apprehensive, but he didn't expect Xin Yuanan to say it before he himself said it. His face turned red for a while, and he felt the curious eyes of the minister of the Ministry of War beside him, and he hardly dared to hang his head. Looking at the two of them again, he gritted his teeth intermittently and asked, "Your Majesty... this... what's the matter with Murong Xiaoshuo..."

Seeing that he was finally speechless, Xin Yuanan curled up his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "If you haven't discussed it, then go back and discuss it!"

Minister of the Ministry of War heard the argument between the two, and his eyes became more strange for a while, but because he didn't know the whole story, he just looked at Xiao Ye without saying a word, and guessed in his heart whether the school secretary of the Imperial Academy was related to Xiao Ye. What kind of relationship, after all, Murong Xiaoshulang was born in the Murong family of Nanzhao, and he has been an official in the court for many years as a men's double, and he has never heard of having close contacts with other officials, or having any relationship with other officials. affair.

When the Minister of the Ministry of War was thinking about it, Xiao Ye was already a little panicked. He knelt on the ground and hesitated for a while, but after all, he was hindered by the majesty of the person in front of him, and knew that he could no longer resist, so his face couldn't help but a little ugly Come down, don't know whether to agree or not.

He really didn't want to tell Murong Yi about this matter, and he couldn't get it out of his mouth a few times, but after a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good idea, he pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids in response: "... Yes, Your Majesty."

Xin Yuanan grew up with him, and he knew what he was thinking just by turning his eyes. The smile on the corner of his lips widened a bit, and he suddenly lowered his body to look at him, and said in a low voice with deep meaning in his eyes: " Don't think about fooling around, I will let someone watch you, and leave after you finish speaking."

Xiao Ye was looked at by him like this, and suddenly thought that for so many years, every time he teased Xin Yuanan, Xin Yuanan would show this look, and then he must be unlucky. When he left, he couldn't help but whispered, "Your Majesty!"

Xin Yuan'an's footsteps stopped at the entrance of the hall, and he glanced at the two of them with a smile that was not a smile, his eyes stopped on his face, and suddenly he said with a bright gaze: "My brother who has been with you for so many years, what kind of person are you?" Temperament, I am quite clear in my heart, I also know exactly what kind of tricks you will use to fool you!"
