It is indeed Yue Xiu who is on duty in the palace today.

Tianxiang saw him in cold light armor from afar, checking the guards at the palace gate.He couldn't help but be overjoyed, the presence of Yue Xiu at least proved that everything was normal.

"The general has seen the princess." When Yue Xiu saw Tian Xiang, he pulled the sword from his waist and bowed to her.

Tian Xiang stretched out her head to visit the palace, because the sky was overcast, the palace lanterns were lit early, but the palace was too spacious after all, and many places were more obscured by the light, making people think that there might be something hidden in those unclear places.

"General Yue, Prime Minister Liu, have they all gone in?" Tianxiang could only ask first since he couldn't see the Tai Chi Hall from the palace gate.

"Go in." Yue Xiu looked at the ground, speaking concisely.

"Would you like to go to the Tai Chi Hall or the Xuanzheng Hall?"

"Xuanzheng Palace."

After getting the destination, Tianxiang nodded, bypassed Yue Xiu and headed towards the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Princess, wait a moment." Yue Xiu suddenly called out to stop Tianxiang.

"What..." Before she finished speaking, Tianxiang felt her eyes darken and she fell into a coma.

After waking up, she was shaken violently. Tianxiang touched the back of her painful head, and did not distinguish the situation for a while.When she came to her senses, she realized that lying in her Heavenly Fragrance Hall, there was no one else except a tall black figure beside the bed.

"Brother Jian?" Tianxiang asked tentatively.

After receiving the affirmative response from the other party, Tianxiang sat up rubbing the back of her head, and asked doubtfully, "Why am I in my own palace?"

"Yuexiu."

"Yue Xiu? He knocked me out? And sent me here?" Tianxiang looked at Yijian Piaohong in disbelief and nodded, and asked in panic, "How long have I been unconscious?"

Yijian Piaohong took out something from his bosom and handed it to Tianxiang, saying: "About an hour."

After receiving the item that Yijian Piaohong helped her find earlier, Tian Xiang was a little annoyed, "I knew Yue Xiu would not trust me, so I wouldn't have let you look for it. It's a waste of time. What's going on outside now?"

"They all knelt outside the Xuanzheng Hall."

"Fortunately, it's not too late." Tianxiang stood up, only a small lamp was lit not far from the bed in the hall, and the rest of the place was dark. Looking in the direction where the door could not be seen clearly, Tianxiang couldn't help but hit cold war.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Yijian Piaohong stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to put it on Tianxiang's shoulder, but he paused in the air, and then slowly withdrew it.

Tianxiang turned to Yijian Piaohong with a smile and said: "Brother Jian is here, of course I'm not afraid." After speaking, she walked out firmly.

There seemed to be a warm light in the usually cold and ruthless eyes, Yijian Piaohong followed behind Tianxiang, and the moment the palace door opened, he quietly hid his figure.

It was already dark, and on the way from the harem to the Xuanzheng Hall, Tianxiang was surprised to find that there were no maids and eunuchs appearing from time to time, and there were no guards patrolling.The entire imperial palace is very quiet. Even if the current emperor only loves wooden birds and not women, there are still concubines who have to marry for various reasons to live in the harem. The number is small, but it is absolutely impossible to be as quiet as no one.

There is no time to think about the problem now, the only purpose of Tianxiang coming to the palace is to prove whether Liu Tao has the intention of forcing the palace.

Sometimes things change rapidly. Half a quarter of an hour ago, Yi Jianhong said that Liu Tao and Baiguan were kneeling at the entrance of Xuanzheng Hall. When she arrived, Liu Tao was standing at the entrance of the hall, talking impassionedly and loudly.

"...The old minister is for Dacheng's country, and he has a clear conscience!" The closer he got, the clearer he heard it.

Liu Tao was wearing a scarlet court dress, standing alone on the steps, the lamp hanging on the high porch eaves, projecting the light on that straight and thin figure, one can clearly see the solemnity of his face.Behind him stood hundreds of officials lined up neatly, all frowning silently, as if there was no one there.

Flying to Liu Tao's side, Tianxiang looked at him and asked, "Is my brother in there?"

The moment Liu Tao saw Tianxiang, he seemed a little stunned, and seeing that there was no one else around her, he said, "Yes."

"What are you all doing here? Since Brother Huang doesn't want to see you, why don't you leave?" Tianxiang stood in front of the closed palace door and suddenly shouted loudly.

No one responded to Tianxiang, and no one moved a step. Liu Tao took a proud look at Tianxiang and said, "Today, the emperor will not come out to make it clear. Veteran ministers and officials will not leave."

"Liu Tao, you have been an official for so many years, do you know what is a ruler and what is a minister? What is the emperor going to do, when will he need to report to you one by one?"

"The old minister knows the reason why the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If he can die in exchange for the world's clarity, the veteran will not hesitate! But, what's the use of death in the face of a faint king?"

Tian Xiang was in a hurry, and before he could say anything to refute, the door that had been closed all along came slowly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." All the ministers, including Liu Tao, knelt down and shouted long live.

"Brother Huang..." Tianxiang turned around, and standing behind her was Dongfang Haoyang wearing a dragon robe and crown.

Seeing Tianxiang, Dongfang Haoyang slightly turned his face to the people behind him and said: "Why did the eldest princess wake up so early? You are not good at things."

"The last general is dereliction of duty." A calm and thick voice sounded behind Dongfang Haoyang, and Tianxiang wondered in a daze, who is Yue Xiu from?

"Forget it, just wake up when you wake up, and bring the eldest princess into the palace."

"Brother, you..."

Dongfang Haoyang took two steps forward with a weird smile, looked at Tianxiang tenderly and said, "Sister Huang, you and I are the closest in this world, Brother Huang will protect you."

"Brother Emperor, I don't understand, you are..." Yue Xiu walked to Tian Xiang's side, not knowing whether the Emperor wanted to answer her words, he didn't do anything for a while.

"Father's deep meaning, I only understand now. Royal sister, after tonight, you will get the best of everything in the world."

Feeling wrong, Tianxiang shook her head and said: "I am already the most honorable eldest princess of Dacheng Kingdom, and I don't need anything."

"No, there is one more person, and if you don't get rid of you, you don't have the best of everything."

With a sudden heartbeat, Tianxiang asked eagerly: "You, what are you going to do to my son-in-law?"

Dongfang Haoyang grinned and said, "I'm going to kill her."

"Why..." Even though she knew Dongfang Haoyang was going to kill Feng Suzhen, Tianxiang still felt suffocated when she said it from her own brother.

Whether it is the father or the emperor, they keep saying that they want themselves to be happy and that they want to get the best of everything, but they all know that there is only one person she cares about and values ​​the most from the beginning to the end. And it was going to kill her. Could this be the best thing they said?

"Hahaha, it turns out that the old minister and the emperor also coincidentally one day." Liu Tao's laughter came from behind.

Tian Xiang quickly turned around and looked at him with a ferocious face, "What do you mean?"

"There are martial arts masters sought by the veteran, and the masters handpicked by the emperor, Feng Shaomin will undoubtedly die tonight! If the veteran doesn't believe it, who else can overthrow this world!"

"You, you..." Tianxiang didn't say the rest of the words, because Wang Gonggong touched Tianxiang's numb point, making her unable to move her limbs and unable to speak.

In the chaos, Tianxiang saw Li Zhaoting standing in the front at a glance, but he didn't look up at Tianxiang.

Yue Xiu cupped his hands towards Tianxiang and said: "Princess, please forgive me for being rude." After speaking, she picked up Tianxiang and walked into the hall.

Without Tianxiang present, all the officials got up slowly under Liu Tao's signal.

Dongfang Haoyang walked towards Liu Tao, and said as he walked: "I said that I will enter the palace at Xushi, why did you come so early? You are still making noise outside the palace, disturbing my rest."

Unblinkingly waiting for Dongfang Haoyang to come to him, Liu Tao said: "Your Majesty must have heard what the old minister said very clearly just now. The Majesty has been away for a while, and the officials all over the world are worried about government affairs. The Majesty has to explain to them. "

"Is it just a hiatus? I thought you would say that the officials all over the world scolded me for only being obsessed with playthings and not caring about state affairs. For the sake of wooden birds, I was wasting people and money and offending the heavens. Therefore, I was born with a vision and accused me of being unsuitable to sit on the dragon chair. "

Hearing this, Liu Tao chuckled lightly: "Since the emperor knows it well, there is no need for the old minister to say anything more."

"Hehe," Dongfang Haoyang flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, was level with Liu Tao, looked at the courtiers under the steps, and asked loudly, "Do you also think so? I am not fit to sit on this dragon chair anymore? "

All the ministers remained silent, like stone statues.

"Ah, let me take a look, oh, there is Li Shangshu, Li Shangshu, it's just you, tell me, if I abdicate to let the virtuous, will the world give it to your father-in-law?"

Li Zhaoting, who was called by name, lifted his clothes, knelt down on his knees, and prostrated himself on the ground, but did not answer.

"You don't dare to say it? Then your father will tell you, Li Ruliang, you will tell me."

Standing beside Li Zhaoting, Li Ruliang looked at Liu Tao whose back was facing them on the steps, and said, "Your Majesty, this world belongs to the east, and no one can change it."

"Did you say that, or Prime Minister Liu?" Dongfang Haoyang seemed curious.

Liu Tao turned around and looked at his colleagues below, as if he was speaking to them as well as Dongfang Haoyang. He said: "If the royal family of Dacheng Kingdom wants to change their surname, the veterans will be the first to change their surnames." disagree!"

"Oh?" Dongfang Haoyang asked suspiciously, facing Liu Tao who dared to stand side by side with him, "I am only three younger brothers, and they are all young. Which one do you want to support as a puppet?"

"No, the old minister has already trained an excellent emperor for Dacheng." Liu Tao took a step forward, stood on the edge of the steps, and said to the people below, "Yinger, it's your turn to come out."

Liu Changying, dressed in official uniform, walked out from the back row, walked slowly to the front, took a quick look at Dongfang Haoyang, and then performed a royal and ministerial gift, saying: "My humble minister Liu Changying..."

"Ying'er, your surname is Dongfang, the emperor is your real brother, you have to call him brother emperor."

Couldn't help but sneered, Dongfang Haoyang said: "You don't sit yourself, but you push your own son? Prime Minister Liu, you have disappointed me."

Liu Tao's face remained unchanged, but he just said: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can test Ying'er's blood with Ying'er now."

Dongfang Haoyang didn't speak this time, he walked down the steps, walked around Liu Changying, folded his arms in his arms, looked up and down and asked: "Is Liu Changying really my imperial brother? Then mother?" Who is it? How could the father let his blood flow outside? Why did you adopt him, Prime Minister Liu?"

Before waiting for a calm answer like before, Dongfang Haoyang turned around and looked at the tall old man, only to see his gloomy complexion, and the anger that was about to burst out in his piercing eyes.

As if trying to understand something, Dongfang Haoyang couldn't help laughing out loud, almost fell to the ground, and then he stopped, "It turns out, it turns out that Prime Minister Liu is wearing such a suit for the sake of his father, his father." Many years of green hats, haha, I'm sorry, the only son is not my own species, haha, I apologize to you on behalf of my father, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Intermittent laughter accompanied by an apology without a trace of sincerity, in the empty space Echoes echoed in front of the temple gate.

"I remember that Prime Minister Liu still has a daughter? Yes, she is Li Shangshu's wife, who is also the son of my father? If so, I will recognize it all at once!" Dongfang Haoyang put his hand on Liu Changying's shoulder , looking at Li Zhaoting who was lying motionless on the ground.

"You don't have to worry about it, it's enough for your majesty to admit that you won." Desperately suppressing the anger in his chest, Liu Tao only felt that victory was in sight, and he didn't need to worry about the past decades.

"Ah, Prime Minister Liu has accepted his wife for many years, why don't I accept my brother?"

"The emperor doesn't need to speak foul words to his wife. There was a reason for what happened back then, and the minister married his wife later!"

"Oh? No wonder your father favors you so much, you are actually the one who can pull a boat in the prime minister's stomach."

Liu Tao didn't want to discuss with Dongfang Haoyang any more dusty private matters in front of all the officials, and said loudly: "Since the emperor recognizes Yinger, then I hope that the emperor will show mercy to all people and let this great success come."

Dongfang Haoyang tidied up his clothes that were a little messy due to laughing, and said casually: "I will let you in if you say so, Liu Tao, are you old-fashioned and confused?"
