Zhi Xuan

Returning to the fief, Zhi Xuan was no more relaxed than when he was in the Western Capital.

During his departure, a lot of government and military affairs were accumulated in the fief, most of which were piled up on the desk, some for more than half a month.

The reason for this is not that the lower officials are negligent in their duties, but because of the restrictions of the rules, all the content in the bamboo slips must be read by Zhi Xuan himself, and cannot be judged by subordinate officials.Even if it is just a seal, it cannot be done by others.

For ten consecutive days, except for eating and sleeping, Zhi Xuan never left the study room.

The jade bestowed by the king was originally placed in the main hall, but was later moved to the study by him.Tired of looking at the bamboo slips, take a look at this fat bird carved in jade, at least you can move your eyes a few times and soothe your nerves.

Of course, external is another way of saying it.

Zhixuan was so grateful for Wang Enshang, he had to see him all the time, so he put it in the study.

The news came out from the Monarch's Mansion, and soon spread throughout Zhi, Feng, and Liang, and then spread to all the vassal states along with the caravans, and finally even the capital city of Zhongdu heard about it.

Knowing that Zhixuan respected him so much, King Long was overjoyed. Marquis Xiyuan asked for the memorial to be enshrined as his son. Seeing that the person on it was Zhixuan, he wrote a congratulatory letter on the same day and sent it to Xiyuan Kingdom as soon as possible.

Zhi Xuan did not expect that his unintentional actions could bring about such an effect.Compared with the procedures and time for canonizing the sons of other vassal states, his congratulatory letter was completely urgent. The soldiers who sent the congratulatory letter traveled day and night, one person and two horses, running at a flying speed.

On the day when King Ren's letter of congratulations was delivered, the knights galloped into the city, loudly declaring that King He Xiyuan was the heir of the original kingdom along the way.

"The king decreed, congratulations to Young Master Xuan!"

The knight rode his horse through the long street, shouting loudly all the way.By the time he arrived at the Monarch's Mansion, the news that Zhi Xuan had become the crown prince had already spread throughout the city.

The common people of the country are all rejoicing, congratulating Xiyuan Hou for having an outstanding heir, the country will have a wise son, and in the future there will be a benevolent and loving monarch.

A common man once worked in Zhixuan's construction site, although he did not follow him to the frontier, he was equally grateful to him.Thinking that such a benevolent and righteous son will ascend to a high position and take charge of the country in the future, he couldn't restrain his joy, and they went out to tell each other.

"Young Master Xuan is the son of the world, good, great good!"

When the clans heard the news, they were surprised at the speed with which the letter of congratulations was delivered.Thinking of Zhixuan's tribute to Zhongdu and being rewarded by the king, his surprise quickly dissipated.

"I have heard many strange things about Young Master Xuan, but looking at it now, the rumors should be true." A clan sighed.

This is indeed the case.

Young Master Xuan paid tribute to Zhongdu, was rewarded by the King of Ren, and became very famous.Called back to the Western Capital City, he would be in trouble, but because of a paper marriage alliance, he saved the day and forced the Marquis of Xiyuan to make him his son.

After looking at it one by one, could it be true that the young master Xuan is a man of heaven's care?

The monarch asked for the son's memorial to be sent to Zhongdu City, and it often took several months to get a reply.During this period, the king of people will ask the special person about the virtues of the person recommended by the memorial, and only after making sure that there is no major fault will he send a letter of congratulations.

It's not just a formality.

In history, there are many cases where a son's virtue was deficient, the memorial was rejected, and the monarch was required to establish another son.

In view of this, even the fatuous Nan Youhou was honest and honest before he became the crown prince, hiding his character well.

Like Zhixuan, when the memorandum was delivered on the same day, the king of the people issued a decree, directly omitting the intermediate process, which is really very rare.The few exceptions were when the vassal states encountered major changes and had to establish an heir immediately, which required special handling.

The congratulatory letter sent to the western capital represents the king's attitude, showing that he loves son Xuan very much, and is happy to see him become the son of the prince.

The clans are so sophisticated that they can see the meaning behind the congratulatory letter at a glance.

Needless to say, the families that supported Zhixuan before, those who tended to maintain a neutral attitude quickly corrected their attitudes. Putting it aside for the time being in the future, they must support Gongzixuan with a clear-cut stand.

"Young Master Xuan is able to receive such an honor, it is indeed the country's fortune!"

The son Xuan is loved and trusted by the king, and he will become the king in the future. The national power and prestige of the Xiyuan Kingdom will surely rise to a higher level.

There is competition between the vassal states, as well as the clans of various countries.Once they go abroad, the clans in big countries are obviously more confident.There is a monarch who is trusted by the king, and the small clans can hold their heads high and stand upright in front of the clans of other countries.

Because of this, Su Hu and Luan Hui were all happy when they heard the news, and even Fan Xu, who couldn't show his emotions or anger, smiled for the first time.Yang Hao and Zhi Xuan are estranged, but as a member of the clan, they are honored at this moment.

Only the young masters Kang and Mi could not blend into the joyful atmosphere.

The knower, Wang Heshu, sent it to Zhixuan, and Zhixuan became the son of the prince, but the son Kang couldn't control it, and lost his temper at home.

Before today, he still had fantasies, hoping that things would not work out.He also wanted to contact Mi Shi to send an assassin to Zhidi to take Zhixuan's life.

How can the dead become the son of the world, and how can they rule the country.

Unfortunately, fantasies are fantasies after all.

The arrival of King He Shu shattered his hopes, shattered all his thoughts, and made the things he had been looking forward to for many years come to naught, and there was nothing left.

How he is not angry, how he is not resentful.

"Zhi Xuan, Zhi Xuan!"

Young Master Kang held the long sword in his hand, slashed and slashed again and again, roaring loudly, like crazy.

In less than a moment, the house was already a mess.

The servants and maidservants stood guard outside the door, cowering and not daring to approach, not even raising their heads.Hearing someone shouting from inside, the servant and maidservant were startled at the same time, and their faces turned pale.

"Come on!"

Young Master Kang called out again, his voice full of hostility and anger.

The maidservant near the door stood up tremblingly, with tears in her eyes, and was about to go in, but her sleeves were pulled.

An elderly servant stepped past her, stooped, and stepped into the room.

Young Master Kang was about to slash, when he saw someone coming, he tilted his sword edge aimed at the neck, and slashed along the servant's shoulder, blood gushed out immediately, staining half of the servant's body red.

The waiter didn't dare to cry out the pain, let alone cover the wound, and endured the severe pain lying on the ground with his forehead touching the ground.

Young Master Kang kept panting heavily, clenched his fingers, roared, turned around and slashed at the table, he did not take the servant's life after all.

It's not because of his conscience, but because the servant has a special status. He has been taking care of him since he was a child, and has been with him longer than Mrs. Mi.He also protected him while hunting and helped him block the rushing beasts, and he almost died.

No matter how violent and vicious Young Master Kang is, he still retains some humanity after all.

If it wasn't for this servant and replaced by the servant girl just now, the consequences would not be injuries, but a dead body would probably be carried out.

The waiter didn't make a sound, lying quietly on the ground, letting the blood flow.

Young Master Kang turned his back to him, thrust his long sword into the ground, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go to heal the wound, get someone to prepare the car, and I'll go see my uncle."

"promise!"

The waiter endured the pain and exited the door. Almost at the same time as he stepped over the threshold, he staggered and almost fell down.

"I'm fine, I'm going to send an order to prepare the car, the young master is going out of the house."

The waiter ordered in a low voice, then covered the wound, and with the support of a young waiter, walked slowly to the ear room,

He has been with Young Master Kang all these years, except for the time he blocked a wild beast, he has never been injured so seriously.

He watched Young Master Kang grow up with his own eyes, and after Young Master Xuan showed his talents, he gradually revealed his character.

The servant who came out of the monarch's mansion knew very well that as long as Young Master Xuan survived, Young Master Kang would have no chance.If this continues, one day the cover cannot be covered, and the honor of the eldest son of the monarch may not be preserved.

Should he find a way out for himself?

After all, he is not alone, there are parents and adopted children.Even if you can't save your life, you must always leave a way for them to survive.

The waiter sighed, and the wound on his body began to bleed again, but a strange color flashed in his eyes, and his eyes gradually became firm.

In the Mi Wu Mansion, the Mi brothers were sitting in the study, their faces sinking like water.Mi Ji gritted his teeth even more, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Brother, there is no room for change?"

Facing Mi Ji's inquiry, Mi Wu closed his eyes and didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Brother!"

"You send people back to the fief, and secretly mobilize the dead and the army." Mi Wu finally spoke, but the words he said were earth-shattering.

Realizing what Mi Wu was going to do, Mi Ji froze on the spot.

"Brother, are you going to..." Rebel?

Mi Wu opened his eyes suddenly, fixed his eyes on Mi Ji, and said in a deep voice: "Young Zixuan was established as the crown prince. According to the etiquette, he must return to the Western Capital City to be enshrined. Before the ceremony begins, the monarch and the crown prince will hunt together in the countryside and use the prey as a sacrifice. Gods and kings of all ages."

Miki began to sweat on his forehead, opened his mouth, and let out a single sound in his throat.

Mi Wu ignored him and continued: "It is true that Young Master Xuan and Young Master Hao have a marriage alliance, but the two countries have not formally dispatched the Xingren clan, and the ceremony has not been completed. Bei'an has no reason to interfere in our country's affairs. An accident happened, the monarch and son Xuan both fell, the country cannot be without a master for a day, and son Kang is the eldest son of the monarch, he has a duty to do so, he is the best choice."

"Brother, is this too dangerous?" Mi Ji finally found his voice.

According to his thinking, another assassin should be sent to Zhidi to try to kill Zhixuan, there is no need to assassinate the monarch.According to what Mi Wu said, once the matter is revealed, the Mi family will suffer a catastrophe.

"Do you think there is a second way?" Mi Wu sneered, "The people sent last time couldn't kill Young Master Xuan, but instead affected you and me, and now they will be successful if sent again? What's more, if something happens to Young Master Xuan, he will send you a congratulatory letter from King Renwang. Whoever strikes, the Mi family will be the first to bear the brunt. The monarch will not protect you and me, and is more willing to take the opportunity to suppress and raise the butcher's knife. Besides," Mi Wu paused, and said in a low voice, "Do you think the monarch will be the least bit concerned about what happened back then? No doubts? If we really pursue it, the crime of assassinating the monarch, you and I can't escape either!"

Mi Ji wanted to refute, but was stopped by Mi Wu raising his hand.

"Either don't do it, or do it absolutely." Mi Wu continued, "I will arrange everything. On the day of hunting in the suburbs, try to mobilize troops into the city, surround the clan square, and focus on guarding the Su family, Fan family and Luan family. As long as the assassination is successful, the monarch will And Young Master Xuan died, there is no need to worry about them not submitting. If they refuse to bow their heads, the whole family will be slaughtered!"

"Brother, don't forget that there are still young master Ming and Yang Shi." Mi Ji reminded.

"Of course I won't forget." Mi Wu sneered, "I will contact my little sister and ask her to work in the Monarch's Mansion. She is out of favor now, and there is no one around her. Mi's staff has not been exposed yet, and can help her. Aside from Mrs. Yang and Young Master Ming, the other concubines are not worth mentioning. If you are obedient, let it go, if you are not obedient, send them to see the monarch and Young Master Xuan!"

Mi Wu talked eloquently and in an orderly manner, without awe of the monarch, only cold-blooded plotting for the family.

Once the plan is successful, he will not be reconciled to Qing's power, and will definitely try to control his son Kang to seek greater benefits for the family.

"Brother, what should we do if Zhongducheng asks the crime?" Mi Ji was still worried.

Xi Yuanhou and Gongzi Xuan died at the same time, it is impossible not to arouse suspicion.If Zhongducheng decides to investigate, the matter may not be able to be hidden.

"So what about the investigation?" Miwu said in a deep voice, "Xiyuan Kingdom guards the border and has tens of thousands of troops. Unless the central capital is happy to see Di Rong invade the border, otherwise, the princes will never be summoned to start a war to destroy the country."

If Ren Wang insists on going his own way, Mi Wu is also not afraid.

He had already thought of an excuse to push the death of the king and son to Bei'an.You can tell the people of the country that the marriage alliance between Gong Zixuan and Gong Zihao is a complete scam, in order to use Gong Zixuan's control to annex Xiyuan Kingdom.In the end, Gong Zixuan found out the clues, and the other party killed him in order to prevent the conspiracy from being revealed.

Hearing Mi Wu's words, Mi Ji turned pale.

"Brother, if you do this, the country will not be safe!" How could Bei'an be charged with such a crime, let alone let it go!

"So what?" Mi Wu said without the slightest fear, "Young Zixuan became the heir, and he will inherit the throne in the future. How can the Mi family survive? The only way to counterattack is to preemptively strike and take extraordinary measures. The power of the country is in my hands. , What's the point of going to war with Bei'an Kingdom?"

"Brother, have you ever thought about failure?" Mi Ji murmured.

"Naturally I have thought about it." Mi Wu nodded and said, "If it succeeds, the princes will be defeated. Whether they rule a country, or be buried with the country, even if the Mi clan perishes, it will be remembered by the princes, not the failure of political struggles. "

Mi Ji looked at Mi Wu, seeing his brother's madness for the first time.

For the first time in his life, he felt afraid, not for the enemy, but for the elder brother who grew up together, went to war together, and was in the court together!
