Hearing Xu Yixin's words, the prince couldn't help being stunned.

He subconsciously retorted: "What joke are you talking about? My father clearly trusted General Xie so much, and let General Xie lead the Xie family army to guard the border for many years. Even if General Xie passed away, his only son Xie Zhao was treated more than his father loved him." ..."

The crown prince looked at Xu Yixin, smiled wryly, and said, "Uncle, could it be that you forgot how many times your father made exceptions for Xie Zhao? Besides, since this dynasty, which number one scholar is the last one to go to Yushitai of?"

The prince couldn't help but think that Xie Zhao was talented, but no matter how talented Xie Zhao was, he was not worthy of the preferential treatment he received.

Yushitai has a special status, except for the emperor, no one in the court dares to move.In the past six months, the court officials have been transferred, and many people have been relegated. Even he and Cheng Wang have been treated coldly, but only the censors at Yushitai strut their heads every day, and their power in the court is getting bigger and bigger.

Recalling Xie Zhao's high-spirited appearance when he made many admonitions in the court, the prince couldn't help shaking his head, sighing secretly that his uncle was really biased: if it wasn't for his father's partial favor, how could Xie Zhao have entered the officialdom for two years Or is it such a sharp and angular character?

Xu Yixin's eyes flicked past the prince, and landed on Qin Houde who was above him.

Without the emperor's permission, he slowly went to sit down on the side seat, poured himself a cup of tea, and smiled: "His Royal Highness still doesn't see far enough."

Xu Yixin pointed out: "If His Royal Highness really values ​​a courtier, where would you let him go to practice?"

Does this question have anything to do with Xie Zhao?

The prince was a little puzzled, but subconsciously replied: "If it is a military officer, I will let him serve as a Jinwu guard, or simply send him to join the army; if it is a civil official, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households are good places, and the Ministry of War is not bad. , if it’s really not possible, go to the Imperial College to offer wine—”

The words stopped abruptly.

The prince finally came to his senses, horrified in his heart, he couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, and looked at Qin Houde in disbelief.

If he wants to cultivate a courtier, he may be allowed to serve in Yushitai, but he will never be allowed to stay in Yushitai. Yushitai does have great power in the matter of impeachment. rights, but not real power.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and transfer of civil servants in the world, the Ministry of Households is in charge of land taxation, money and material affairs, and the Ministry of War is in charge of the promotion of military officials... But what can the censors of Yushitai do?

What else can they do but impeach?

The prince only felt that his head was a little bit clear, and many things that he couldn't see clearly in the past also surfaced.

Who is Xie Zhao?He is the grandson of Grand Tutor Xie Hui, the only son of General Xie Yan, and the only descendant of the Xie family in Jiangnan.And after excluding the honors of his ancestors and fathers, Xie Zhao was still the youngest literary champion in the dynasty, and the only one who won three consecutive awards.

Such a person is so talented, even if he follows the old path of the champion in the past, it is only a matter of time before he reaches a higher position.

Letting Xie Zhao stay at Yushitai all the time, is this love for Xie Zhao, or... fear of Xie Zhao?

Thinking of Qin Houde's gentle and friendly appearance when facing Xie Zhao in the past two years, the prince only felt a chill down his back.

He looked at his biological father, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing at himself: "Yes, you have never even trusted your own son, so how can you love a junior who has never met so much, even if this person It's the child of General Xie, who treated you so terribly—"

Before he finished speaking, the prince turned his head slightly, and a gust of wind brushed his face.

The next moment, the fine white jade teacup slammed onto the screen behind him, and then fell hard to the ground with a crisp sound.

Qin Houde's chest rose and fell.

He looked at the prince motionless, and warned coldly: "Shut up!"

The prince stared blankly at the fragments of the teacup that fell to his feet.

——If he hadn't dodged in time, the teacup would have hit him in the face now.

This fragmented teacup seemed to imply something, the prince pursed his lips, feeling that the burning flame in his heart was finally extinguished.When he raised his head again, his eyes were already cold.

"Father, why are you so angry?" He bent his lips, knowing what the other party hated, but he still wanted to use these words to provoke him: "It seems that I didn't guess wrong."

After a while, Qin Houde's mood finally stabilized a lot.He fixedly looked at the prince, and snorted lightly: "Whatever you think."

He didn't bother to look at the crown prince again, he put his eyes on Xu Yixin, and smiled sarcastically: "I think I have treated the prime minister well these years, but I didn't expect the prime minister to be still dissatisfied." Qin Houde's eyes were complicated, "Anyway, the prime minister and I have been together since we were young. I have known each other since childhood, I never thought that after so many years, it would be the prime minister who came to see me off for the last time."

The smile on Xu Yixin's face gradually disappeared.

Qin Houde finally asked: "Xu Yixin, how dare you betray me?"

How dare you?

Even in this situation, this person is still so arrogant, it really makes people feel disgusted.

Xu Yixin thought.

"It turns out that the Holy Majesty still remembers that Weichen met you when he was young, and he also remembers that Weichen accompanied you through these years."

Xu Yixin put an undrinked cup of tea on the table.His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he said expressionlessly: "You have never trusted me, so what did I do to betray you?"

His laughter was hoarse and deep: "I am afraid that you have only trusted one person in your life, and that is the dead Xie Yan. It was you who made me understand that the words of the most ruthless emperor's family are really wise. And Xie Yan It is to convince Wei Chen that only dead people can gain your complete trust, because only dead people are completely safe for you."

Xu Yixin has been famous for decades, and everyone thinks that he was born into a wealthy family, became famous at a young age, and is the best in the world.

But few people know that before becoming the eldest son officially recognized by the Xu family, he was just a low-status concubine.In those memories that were so long ago that they seemed to be in his previous life, he had been humiliated, starved, beaten and scolded by his biological mother, and ignored by his biological father.At that time, even the little beggars at the street would spit and call him a fatherless bastard when they saw him.

Xu Yixin has known since he was a child that everything has to be robbed, kindness is weakness, and he has never been able to feed his stomach.

After understanding this truth, he designed a series of accidents, successfully made himself the only boy in the Xu family, and then transformed himself into the noble young master of the Xu family; he squeezed out other competitors, and successfully became the prince's companion , and became Xie Yan's friend, relying on the prince and Xie Yan to stabilize his identity in the Xu family.

Over the years, after getting rid of the useless kindness, Xu Yixin's life is getting better and better.

But now, admiring the rare embarrassment of the emperor who has always been aloof, Xu Yixin thought happily: After tonight, the last person in the world who controlled his life is gone.

This is really a great joy.

Qin Houde's figure trembled slightly, and he almost fell down on the chair.

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were as cold as a blade: "...you killed Xie Yan?"

"How can it be said that Wei Chen killed General Xie?"

Xu Yixin said with a smile: "Obviously the minister and the Holy Majesty killed it together—I still want to thank the Holy Majesty for the opportunity."

Many years ago, Xie Yan led the Xie family army to march forward indomitably, killing the Beiyan iron cavalry and retreating steadily.

When Xie Yan and Xie Jiajun were most powerful, it was Qin Houde who ordered him to return to Beijing immediately.Everyone thought that Qin Houde wanted to reward Xie Yan and Xie's army, but Xu Yixin realized that the real intention of the emperor was actually the military power in Xie Yan's hands.

Xie Yangong's superiority made Qin Houde afraid of Xie Yan after all.

Xu Yixin seized this opportunity, so Xie Yan died.

"How can he be so naive?"

Thinking of this, Xu Yixin couldn't help laughing: "After so many years, you and I have become unrecognizable, why does he still trust me and you as before? I handed over the specially prepared drink and asked Him: Xie Yan, you don't know what the Holy Majesty wants you to do? He is such a smart and kind man, so he drank that glass of wine. "

Xu Yixin twitched the corner of his mouth: "Xie Yan is the most suitable person to be a friend, and also the most suitable person to be a courtier, don't you think so? It's a pity that he met people like me and you. What a pity .”

Qin Houde's eyes were slightly red, and he sat down slumped.

He covered his face with his hands, only Chen Fu beside him saw the tears falling from his fingers.

At this moment, Chen Fu couldn't help being in a daze.

He thought hesitantly: This dragon chair is full of great power and boundless wealth, but under the dragon chair, all the fetters and emotions are buried. Why are there so many people looting for such a seat?

Xu Yixin clapped his hands, and a palace official silently entered the hall with a glass of wine in his hand.

The prince stared at the glass of wine with struggle and hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he still didn't stop the palace man from handing over the glass of wine.

Qin Houde put down his hand, raised his eyes and looked towards the closed gate of Wuying Hall.

The sky outside the window is like thick ink that cannot be melted, without any starlight, it is so dark that it seems to swallow up all hopes.He thought, this time, no one would push the door in with Xiaguang and tell him with a bright smile that everything was over.

……

King Cheng rushed into the forbidden court with his troops, and soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

The reinforcements, which were expected to arrive at least in the early morning of the second day, arrived in less than an hour. The speed was as fast as if they had been squatting outside the capital for a long time, just waiting for him to send troops to rebel.

Fall short.

Before King Cheng entered the Hall of Martial Arts, he saw the soldiers around him fall down one by one.The soldiers he trained privately were naturally inferior to the well-trained reinforcements.

King Cheng's horse was stabbed, so he was forced to dismount.Blood stained the floor tiles under his feet, King Cheng pushed away the soldiers who fell on him after being shot by the arrows, and finally escaped from the palace in a hurry.

Where there is life, there is hope!

King Cheng gritted his teeth.

Fortunately, King Cheng was lucky. The people around him seemed to be blindsided by him, and they didn't recognize his identity, so King Cheng escaped from the encirclement by luck and ran out.

Just after he escaped from the palace, before King Cheng had time to catch his breath, he saw Wan Xu who was standing happily in the middle of the road.

King Cheng stepped forward and hurriedly said: "Wan Xu, those reinforcements have arrived! Now our plan has failed, you have to follow me and leave quickly, otherwise the emperor will definitely not spare you tomorrow morning!"

King Cheng was so anxious that his mouth was bubbling, and Wan Xu asked with great interest, "Why can't anyone be spared?"

"Pull your nine clans, let you be divided into five horses, and die a bad death!"

Thinking that someone would come behind him soon, King Cheng became anxious for a moment, so he grabbed Wan Xu's wrist and wanted to take Wan Xu away: "Wan Xu, I didn't joke with you—our plan really failed. ! We can no longer stay in the capital!"

Unexpectedly, Wan Xu still smiled lightly, with a relaxed and contented appearance.

"The plan didn't fail."

He looked at Cheng Wang with a smile, and suddenly shook his hand away while Cheng Wang was in a daze.Seeing that King Cheng turned pale, and seemed to have finally come to his senses, Wan Xu said with a leisurely smile, "——my plan did not fail, it was only your plan that failed."

Someone behind him approached step by step.

King Cheng turned his head and saw a familiar face.

It is Cui Boxiu, the left Jinwu guard.

The night was dark, starless and moonless.

Wan Xu's eyes were bent, looking at Cheng Wang's pale face, he smiled contentedly.

The author has something to say: Crying, there was a small car accident, and I am currently recuperating. Fortunately, although I have suffered a little bit of flesh and blood, at least I am fine.

It's been a while since this time, so I'll update as soon as possible.
