King Jing is dead!

Or die in the fire!

When all the ministers in Chang'an heard about this, they were all in an uproar.

Xie Yuan knelt on the throne and said nothing.

The ministers only talked a few words about King Jing's death, and then they all talked about the appearance of King Jing's son Xie Qiuran.

Xie Yuan couldn't get out of his mind, and worried about his biological mother and younger brother who were far away in the north.

The Jiang family wanted to do something about King Jing. Although Xie Yuan had some guesses before, he also thought that the Jiang family wanted King Jing to become incapable of managing affairs. At this time, it was rare to be hardened.

Because Jiang Shi asked him for manpower before, Xie Yuan originally planted some people in the north to secretly protect Jiang Shi, and since Jiang Shi wanted it, he gave it too.

After Zilai sent the news of King Jing's death and his son's appearance at a high speed, Xie Yuan soon received a letter from the staff who served Jiang's side, explaining to him what happened that day.

It turns out that King Jing is not easy to recruit concubines because of his frequent illnesses. Instead, he gradually gets close to the Jiang family who has always been gentle and careless, and has no opinions and brains at all. Have been dissatisfied.

King Jing already had a lot of bad things in his mind so he couldn't tell his subordinates, it's rare that Mrs. Jiang is so stupid, and she almost agrees with him, so she often sleeps with Mrs. Jiang.

On the night of King Jing's accident, Jiang Shi slept with King Jing, but during the dinner that night, Jiang Shi rarely recruited Xie Yuan's steward who stayed in the Northland, and asked him to drink something impressive in the toast King's wine. He fell asleep until noon tomorrow, and set fire to the study at midnight that night. He also ordered that every bookcase in King Jing's study must be poured with kerosene, so that the study would be on fire in an instant.

The editor had already taken refuge in Xie Yuan, and listened to Jiang's request not too much, so he followed suit.

Unexpectedly, at midnight, the study room was on fire, and the people in King Jing's mansion naturally knew how much King Jing valued the study room, so they all rose up on the moon and rushed to the study room.

However, when the fire was being put out in a hurry in the study, King Jing's bedroom suddenly caught fire.

Together, the fire was even more serious than the study room.

Others will not mention it for now, everyone left behind by Xie Qiuran and Xie Yuan knows that Jiang Shi is still in the room, and immediately someone covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth and rushed in, Xian Xian then gave Jiang Shi who was lying straight outside waiting to die rescued.

As for the inner room... the fire had completely burned King Jing's body, and it was impossible to save him.

Even so, Jiang's right arm and calf were also burned by the fire, and Xianxian was rescued after taking a large amount of drowsiness.

Among the people Xie Yuan left behind were many smart people, on the one hand, they ordered the doctors to save Jiang's life, on the other hand, they protected Xie Qiuran, and helped Xie Qiuran temporarily stabilize the officials and brothers Xie Jinran as the son of the feudal clan.

They originally wanted to send a letter back to Chang'an to ask for help. After all, when Xie Yuan left them in the North, the most important requirement for them was to protect the lives of Jiang and Xie Qiuran, and put aside other matters for now.Therefore, these people naturally wanted to save the lives of the two of them first.

However, after Xie Qiuran panicked for a while, he immediately wrote a letter in person, apologizing to the saint on behalf of his father, respecting the king, saying that because of his father's fault, the feudal king's throne should be taken away, and he offered to hand over the feudal land, willing to be a commoner!

When Xie Yuan's relatives saw this letter, they immediately knew the importance of this letter—whether Xie Qiuran had obtained the power of the vassal at this moment, or whether he was trusted by the counselors left behind by King Jing, but, after all, Xie Qiuran was the son of King Jing, so it was reasonable As long as he is the heir of the feudal domain, as long as he sends out this letter, he will truly be guilty of respecting the king, and he will also hand over the Northern Land to Xie Yuan.

Seeing this, the few cronies still hesitated, but Xie Qiuran immediately said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Xiao Wang will be able to protect himself and A Niang, but this letter must be sent to brother immediately, the sooner the better! "

Hearing this, those few people finally gritted their teeth, leaving a few of them to continue to secretly guard the mother and son in the mansion, while one left the Prince Jing's mansion quietly, and delivered the letter quickly overnight.

After Xie Yuan received the news, on the one hand, he hated Qiu Ran for being so foolish, so disregarding his own life for doing this thing, and on the other hand, he knew Qiu Ran's heart well. After sighing, he immediately sent people to send [-] troops to the northern border, and that was enough. Set off.

As for the Jiang family... Xie Yuan never knew that such a woman would do such a thing, and he knew that he would not hesitate to suffer from the fire, just to burn his husband so that his children would not be hurt by him again.

"What does the saint think?"

Xie Yuan was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and happened to meet Shang Liuxiang's disapproving gaze.

He paused for a moment before saying, "Let's talk later. I just..." was distracted.

Everyone: "..."

Prime Minister Xie understood that Xie Yuan was worried about the Jiang family and Xie Qiuran who were in the Northland, and he sighed in Xie Yuan's heart, so he explained and listed several generals who could fight the Northland.

After hearing this, Xie Yuan didn't speak immediately, but touched the purse on his waist, and after a while, he said slowly: "I want to personally send troops to recover the Northland."

The ministers were in an uproar and immediately spoke to stop it.

"Although there are a few good generals in the Northland, if King Jing leaves with a crane, the Northland will definitely be in chaos, and with the act of respecting the king's son today, the Northland will only become more chaotic. At that time, even if the Northland and the imperial court will eventually have a battle, There is no need for a sage to go in person, so why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?"

"That's exactly the case, and the dragon's body is the most important thing. The health of tens of thousands of people in the world depends on the saint's body. The saint must not mess around."

……

Hearing the persuasion and persuasion of the ministers, Xie Yuan still shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind."

If these four words were used by the former emperor Xie Rongying, all the officials would just regard it as an indecent thing, and forget it after putting it away.

However, the current emperor... Even though he has not been on the throne for a long time, he has a lot of soldiers on hand, with a strong temper and ability.

The saint is strong, and the ministers can only soften down.

Especially this matter is actually nothing.

With the ability of the new emperor, it is only a matter of time before the Northland is taken down.

After retreating, Xie Yuan asked Liu Xiang to stay.

Meng Xiang couldn't help it a little, he couldn't help but said: "At first, the merit of a saint was to make contributions and lead the army to fight. However, now that the throne of the saint is stable, his merits are not only about military merits, but also related to the livelihood of the common people."

The rest of the ministers also advised.

Xie Yuan listened for a while, then laughed suddenly, and said: "It's just a trip. It's okay." After a pause, he finally explained to several people, "Respect the righteousness of the prince, and be willing to show up and give up. In the feudal land, there are treacherous people, and Princess Jing and Prince Jing's sons are in deep danger. I... can't just ignore it."

Liu Xiang was silent for a while.

Xie Yuan went on to say: "After the big festival of this battle, I want to divide the northern land into three, one of which will be continued by Prince Jing's son. At that time... I am afraid that there will be only the last one with Princess Jing. We met once."

Now that the world is still unstable, the matter of reducing the feudal clan must be extended later.

Xie Yuan and Liu Xiang understood that not only part of the feudal land of King Jing and his son would be left, but also the land of Yin Wang and Anyang Wang would be left in the future.

And the new emperor wants to cut down the feudal clan...need to accumulate another 20 years of strength.

As for the selfishness of the new emperor's insistence on going to the North this time... Princess Jing Jiang is the new emperor's biological mother, and this time it is said that she was seriously injured again.And what the new emperor said is very true, if he goes this time, Beidi will definitely think that Jiang and Xie Qiuran are extremely important, and will treat them kindly no matter what, and save their lives; and the last side... is indeed the case, The new emperor has already adopted, and the Jiang family will only follow the youngest son Xie Qiuran in the feudal domain in the future, and will never come to Chang'an again.

That was indeed the last side.

Liu Xiang finally stopped persuading, but talked about the preparations for this war.

After talking about the war, Gu Hongzi talked about the results of his observation of the sky, and the expressions of the other five phases changed slightly.

Xie Yuan said: "Use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times. If today's disasters come, I think all states and counties will gather capable people who have knowledge about droughts, floods, and other natural disasters, and ask them to gather the solutions into a book, and then write it into a book. Choose good people to enter Chang'an, discuss with capable people in the DPRK and China, and decide on prevention and solutions. As for improved varieties such as corn and sweet potatoes... many places have never heard of these seeds. I want to forcefully promote these seeds, so that people everywhere I have to buy some, and ask them to plant them properly. After receiving the goods, I need to turn in twice to five times the seeds..."

Liu Xiang also has a good strategy, so one by one, how to deal with natural disasters, everyone finally has a bottom line, which makes them feel better.

Xie Yuan couldn't continue his work in Chang'an, but went to Beidi the next day.

Prince Jing's Mansion in the North.

King Jing died, many people didn't want to believe it at all, but although the fire was severe, most of King Jing's bones remained, so they could probably recognize the face of this person and knew that the dead person was indeed King himself.

While everyone was mourning, Xie Jinran's brothers, themselves and the people behind them all wanted to take advantage of the situation and directly kill Xie Qiuran and the Jiang family—after all, Xie Qiuran was the son of the eldest son, Xie Qiuran would not die, and Xie Jinran was loved by King Jing before. It is also useless.

He is not an orthodox heir to the king at all.

However, in Prince Jing’s mansion, not only some people who had already defected, but also some people felt that Prince Jing’s son, Xie Qiuran, was a young man with precocious wisdom. Although he was young, he would definitely be better than Xie Qiuran when he grew up. The son is here, why do you need someone else?So he wanted to protect Xie Qiuran as the leader.

During such a dispute, everyone felt that the little Xie Qiuran remained silent.

While everyone was arguing, drinking tea to moisten their throats, Brick couldn't help looking at Xie Qiuran.

"Is the crown prince willing to abdicate?" Seeing that Xie Qiuran was young, an old man couldn't help bewitching him, "The crown prince is young, and he certainly doesn't want to be hindered by rules and take up time with many affairs, why don't you give up the position of crown prince to your elder brother? In this way, the son will be virtuous, and the elder brother will definitely take care of the son many times."

Xie Jinran glanced at Xie Qiuran, and said condescendingly: "Not only Qiuran, but also... Auntie, I will take good care of you."

Xie Qiuran has been watching the play for a long time, and counting the time, I think the letter has been delivered to my elder brother, and my elder brother has probably started to send troops.

Then he smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Wang is naturally willing to abdicate."

Everyone is happy.

Xie Qiuran didn't wait for them to ask any more questions, and said slowly, "However, it's not for you and other concubines to give birth to a son, but for Xiao Wang's brother—Emperor Yuanxi."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

Xie Jinran stood up suddenly, drew out her sword and pointed it at Xie Qiuran.

No matter how much you say, once you lose your life, you have nothing.
