Are you hungry for the throne?
Chapter 41
Yuan Qi's cold eyes reflected the shadow of Xitar Antu, and then he turned his head and poured the tea in the cup into a wooden barrel on the side.The sound of tea pouring came out, not pleasant but enough to make people anxious.
When the high-ranking person does not speak, waiting quietly is heart-wrenching.And it wasn't just Da Sima who was kneeling on the ground who was anxious, but also Han Shan who was hiding behind the screen.
Xindi picked up the teapot and refilled himself a cup.He glanced at the screen calmly and turned his head to face Antu when he saw that there was really no movement coming from there.
And it just so happened that he met Xitar Antu's tentatively raised eyes.
Da Sima was shocked by the coldness in the eyes of the new emperor, he knew that the new emperor was not easy to get along with.In recent days, he has become increasingly aware that he is not valued by the new emperor.After thinking about it, Sitara Antus felt that it must be the fact that the beauty was stuffed gave the king a bad impression.Because of this, it was even more difficult for him to calm down.
Anyuan, a villain, deliberately set up a trick to sell his flaws.Da Sima kneaded a small corner of his clothes with his fingers, and the cold touch of the ground calmed him down a little.He came to show his loyalty to the new emperor. Today, Anyuan made the new emperor lose face many times, but now is just an opportunity.
"Aiqing came here late at night, why?"
Yuan Qi didn't ask Da Sima to get up, but directly asked this man what he was doing here.
Such shameless words made Da Sima's neck slightly red.However, his face was very calm, without losing his dignity.
He also understands that each new emperor will cultivate his own power in one dynasty and one courtier.Just like he surrendered to Prince Zhong, Emperor Li recruited An Yuan... As for the new emperor in front of him.Xitara Antu paused, did he want to train Han Shan?
However, he didn't find anything special about Han Shan.
...except for the face.
Thinking of this, Da Sima secretly looked around.After not seeing Han Shan, he was relieved, it seems that Han Shan has gone back.
However, he still pointedly glanced at Eunuch Sanbao standing at the door, and then looked at the new emperor.He was expressing to the new emperor that he had something important to tell the new emperor, and he could not let the third person hear it.
Seeing this, Yuan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.A cold voice sounded in the house:
"Sambo, go down."
When Father Sanbao heard this, he bowed his head and agreed, opened the door and went out.When the cold wind disappeared, Da Sima straightened his back a little.
The new emperor has only been on the throne for more than a month, and it should not be too late for him to show his loyalty to the new emperor.As for the man named Han Shan, Da Sima was in a complicated state of mind and didn't know whether he should win him over or not.
"Your Majesty, King An has become more and more rampant recently, and he cannot stay."
Da Sima straightened up, looked directly at the new emperor and spoke.His face was resolute, and his words were full of pain and sorrow.On the first day in Ancheng, King An repeatedly provoked the new emperor and the imperial power.He believed that the new emperor could not bear it.Otherwise, today's dinner party would not have left without shaking his sleeves.
However, it is extremely difficult for the new emperor to bring down King An. King An is highly skilled in martial arts and has many cronies.There is no chance to do it in the capital, even in Ancheng, you have to plan carefully.
After these words, the room fell into silence again.The howling cold wind seemed to be the only sound in the world.The new emperor who stared at him had a beautiful face, icy cold and indifferent, cold pool eyes, dead still.
Yuan Qi didn't seem to be moved by Da Sima's words...
Da Sima gritted his teeth, he knew that the new emperor would not react to his words.Just as he knew how difficult it was, so did the new emperor.But he also understood that the new emperor would definitely want to bring down King An.
Who would want someone to ride on their head?Xindi didn't respond, but the bait he handed out was not enough.
Da Sima stood up again after saluting, and said to the new emperor:
"The old minister has a plan to make King An buried here."
Yuan Qi looked at Da Sima and asked An Yuan to be buried here?
The new emperor looked sideways at the low table, as if he no longer intended to look at Da Sima.He raised his hand, dipped in the tea and wrote "An" on the table.The corners of Yuan Qi's mouth tended to rise slightly because of this word, I don't know if it was joy or irony.
He watched the word slowly disappear, and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers.The house is very quiet, and even small sounds will be amplified infinitely.Without turning around, he put one hand on the low table, fingers touching the table.
The cold voice filled the whole room, and those who heard it could imagine Xindi's expression even if they didn't look at his face.How can a piece of ice that never melts be melted?
"Sima Ke knows what you're talking about?"
Xindi didn't look at Da Sima, he stared at the table and asked in a flat voice.He didn't seem to be surprised by Xitar Antu's words, and he didn't seem to be interested in the scheme to make Anyuan die.
His behavior made Da Sima, who had a well-thought-out plan and prepared a script on the way, suddenly dumbfounded.This... Xindi's reaction was completely different from what he had expected.
Da Sima lowered his head in embarrassment and stopped looking at the new emperor.He was flustered and trying to calm himself down.
This is not right, there must be something wrong.Your Majesty shouldn't be so quiet. King An holds soldiers and horses, controls the economy, and disrupts the court.The most important thing is that King An and the new emperor are not of one mind, King An is ambitious!
The new emperor must not tolerate King An...
Da Sima thought of the way the new emperor behaved when he worshiped the ancestors that day, and his thoughts became more firm.So what is the new emperor worried about with his actions today?
Xitara Antu's face softened a little, probably because he was afraid that things would fail, but this big moon has become King An's world, right?
Thinking of this, Da Sima raised his head again.His expression became more determined, he kowtowed heavily to the new emperor and said:
"I would like to do my best for His Majesty."
Da Sima first expressed his loyalty, but he also knew in his heart that if he didn't tell his plan, the new emperor would not believe him.So, without waiting for the new emperor to ask, he continued:
"Your Majesty came to Ancheng to understand the sentiments of the people, and King An came here with other meanings. Although His Majesty has arrived here safely, it may not be possible to return to the capital in full—"
When Da Sima said this, he suddenly heard a crisp "ding".This was the sound of the teacup colliding with the base. He froze, and suddenly realized that he had said something disrespectful.
Da Sima's forehead immediately had thin sweat gushing out, he kowtowed hurriedly, and said:
"Your Majesty forgives the crime, the old minister is impatient. After the old minister finishes speaking, His Majesty will punish the old minister together."
Da Sima kowtowed twice as he spoke, and then continued.He's a man with a purpose and he doesn't want to be interrupted again.
He believes that if he speaks out his strategy, His Majesty will definitely adopt it.If King An died here, then returning to the capital would be the time to clean up the remnants of King An.
Da Sima took a deep breath, and most of the panic on his face had faded away.His voice was less stable and more urgent:
"The old minister's plan is to kill King An together with the prefect of Ancheng."
When Da Sima said this, he knelt forward and walked in front of the new emperor.Then, he knelt down, put his forehead on the ground, and said in a deep voice:
"Ancheng rebelled, King An died to protect His Majesty."
After Yuan Qi heard this, sharp blades flashed across his black eyes.He stared at Xitar Antu who was kneeling on the ground, this person actually knew that his intention was Ancheng?
Xitara Antu... Yuan Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the man kneeling on the ground, it really wasn't easy.Know his intention and use it to target An Yuan?
Ancheng rebelled, and Anyuan died protecting him.
In this way, An Yuan's death has nothing to do with him or Sitara Antu.And the furious King An's party wanted revenge and could only attack Ancheng.
In this way, Ancheng will fall into his hands...
So, what benefits will Hitar Antu get?
Yuan Qi looked at Xitar Antu with cold eyes, and the chill in his voice made Antu shiver:
"Sima is a good planner, killing two birds with one stone."
This cold tone doesn't sound like a compliment at all...
Da Sima raised his head, maybe he was used to the new emperor's tone, maybe he was too stimulated today, he didn't realize the deep meaning in these words at all.He looked at the new emperor and said:
"The old minister is doing everything for His Majesty!"
This is of course a good strategy, and Sitara Antu is still a little bit complacent in his heart.He thought for a long time before he came up with this seamless plan.
Thanks also to Wang An's domineering temperament...
He originally wanted to threaten King An's rebellion first, and then join forces with Ancheng soldiers and horses to kill King An.However, Wang An's martial arts are so strong, if one accidentally escapes... the consequences will be disastrous.
When King An returns to the capital in the future, he will definitely not be spared.
But if Ancheng rebelled, it would be different.If you kill King An, you will clean up the remnants of King An in the future.Even if King An does not die, it will be Ancheng who will settle accounts in the future, not him Xitar Antu.
And as long as he kills someone who knows about it before An Wang returns to Beijing, then even if An Wang dies, he will not know who plotted against him.
The screen is really wonderful, the inside cannot be seen from the outside at all, but the outside can be clearly seen from the inside.
And Han Shan, who was hiding behind the screen, grabbed the clothes on his chest and didn't even dare to swallow his saliva.It was clear that the room was warm and pleasant, but he felt it was biting cold.
This method is too insidious... Han Shan clicked his tongue.
But... King An did not die in history!Not only did they not die, but they also ended up rebelling.Han Shan's trembling lips did not dare to take a breath.so……
So, was the Ancheng Rebellion self-directed and self-acted?As a result, the person who "rebelled" died, but did the person who made the plan do anything?
Thinking of this, Han Shan paused. Is it possible that history has changed?For example... King An is really dead?
He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because he started talking outside the screen again.
"Sima Ke discussed this matter with the prefect of Ancheng?"
The new emperor seemed to have forgotten to ask Da Sima to get up, took a sip of the tea cup and asked.
Da Sima's legs and feet were already numb, but he didn't show anything on his face.Killing King An is more important than anything else.Hearing Xindi's words, he quickly opened his mouth:
"Not yet."
Of course he wouldn't talk to Liu Qing in private, he still knew what the emperor hated the most.Even if this matter is said, it should be said in front of the new emperor.
Sitara Antu felt that His Majesty should have been persuaded by him, after all such a good opportunity was in front of him.If you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there will be another one.
He tremblingly said to the new emperor:
"The Zhang He family all perished as soon as they left the capital, and they all died in the hands of King An. King An was ambitious and vicious. Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer. We have no way to return to the capital."
When the high-ranking person does not speak, waiting quietly is heart-wrenching.And it wasn't just Da Sima who was kneeling on the ground who was anxious, but also Han Shan who was hiding behind the screen.
Xindi picked up the teapot and refilled himself a cup.He glanced at the screen calmly and turned his head to face Antu when he saw that there was really no movement coming from there.
