Chapter 456: Gong Gao Zhenzhu
Chapter 456 Highly Merited Master
"To be honest, I'm really sweating for Xiao Shizi."
Having said that, Xun Huan looked relaxed.
He sat comfortably on the top chair, took a sip of Gaiwan tea, and then continued, "I thought that His Majesty would have to put Prince Xiao under house arrest, and then secretly attack the Xiao family in Jinzhou." .who would have thought..."
When Xun Huan said this, Yin Yang laughed silently, then stopped suddenly.
He said that half and half of it was too tantalizing.
Qi Sha couldn't understand Xun Huan's behavior, and asked impatiently, "And then?"
Xun Huan didn't answer, just cast his eyes towards Pei Yi, and said, "Sanlang, you ask me." If you ask me, I'll tell you~
Pei Yi was amused by his childish behavior, and followed Xun Huan's intention to ask, "Then how did His Majesty do it?"
Xun Huan got a response from his sweetheart, and he felt at ease immediately, and then continued to say with a smile: "Your Majesty left Prince Xiao to have lunch in the palace, and also decided to marry the young lady of the Bai family to the second son of the Xiao family, as a token of respect. Grace and win over."
Pei Yi was dumbfounded.
Knowing that the Xiao family in Jinzhou is likely to manipulate Zhou Jieyu, the old emperor still wants to marry the Bai family in Kyoto to the Xiao family in Jinzhou. What is he planning?
Moreover, the second son of the Xiao family in Jinzhou is the hero Xiao Junlin, right?
Sure enough, the big wheel of the plot started, no matter what, the heroine Su Luoyun and the hero Xiao Junlin should be together, right?
Pei Yi thought about it and couldn't figure out what the old emperor's intention was.
Qi Kill didn’t understand what the old emperor wanted to do. He said it was to confuse the Xiao family.
This so-called "mystery of the royal family" was finally solved by Huo Yuan.
In the evening of that day, Huo Yuan came to Xiao Pei's mansion and slammed doors for dinner.
When it was mentioned that instead of disposing of the Xiao family, the old emperor wanted the Bai family to marry the Xiao family, Huo Yuan smiled inscrutablely, and joked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "My father is a smart man." Overdo it, and the older you get, the easier it is to overdo it."
As one of the central figures in this matter, Xiao Junji didn't understand the old emperor's intentions at all, and he didn't understand what the third prince of the Huo family said. He only felt that the third prince was playing tricks.
Xun Huan also felt the same way. Although he himself liked to tease people, he couldn't bear it when others teased him like this. Immediately, he asked impatiently: "What do you mean by being 'too smart'? Who can understand you when you speak so covertly?"
Although Qisha also heard the mist, he didn't express any opinions.
Pei Yi glanced at the restless men, and asked, "What do you think His Majesty's intentions are this time?"
Huo Yuan looked at Pei Jiasanlang tenderly, and said with a warm smile: "My father's thoughts are actually easy to guess. Think about it, if my father directly sends officers and soldiers to take down the Xiao family in Jinzhou, then he will send Who will carry out this difficult task?"
From the perspective of being far and near cheap and being careful not to startle the snake, the soldiers from Zhechong Prefecture near Jinzhou should be dispatched nearby.
"Captain Li Hongtian of Zhechong Mansion stationed in Jinzhou is Pei Xiangguo's confidant." Huo Yuan explained meaningfully.
Pei Yi suddenly realized.
If Captain Zhechong Li Hongtian leads troops to suppress the Xiao family's rebellion this time, it must be a great achievement.
But Li Hongtian has a very close relationship with her father.
The old emperor believed that once Li Hongtian made meritorious service, it would undoubtedly boost the popularity of the Pei family.
In this way, the Pei family will become more and more difficult to deal with and control.
"Just to beware of the Pei family, His Majesty is going to make such a stupid move?" Pei Yi asked with some contempt.
Huo Yuan smiled, somewhat mocking Pei Yi for not being politically aware enough and being too naive.
He said earnestly and earnestly: "Beware of ministers making great achievements, this has always been a must for the monarchs of all countries. Just to get rid of a wealthy wolf, but in the end it fueled the momentum of a tiger. Do you think the emperor is willing?"
Pei Yi suddenly felt enlightened.
But after thinking about it, she still disagreed and said: "But Your Majesty let the Bai family marry the Xiao family. Is it because you want Miss Bai Liu to be a spy in the Xiao family?" This method is too funny, right? ?
"Hey..." Huo Yuan looked at his sweetheart with a smile, and said leisurely, "You all only know one thing, not the other. My father really wanted to marry the Bai family and the Xiao family, but he It is to let the second son of the Xiao family join the Bai family."
The audience was in an uproar.
"Poof..."
Xun Huan took a sip of hot tea, and said in surprise and amused way: "Your Majesty is such a genius!"
"Cough cough cough..."
Xiao Junji was also unexpected, a sip of tea stuck in his throat, choking him to cough.
Qisha was thoughtful, but said nothing.
Pei Yi was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help complaining: "Will the Xiao family agree?"
Huo Yuan smiled with mockery and admiration: "If the Xiao family refuses, it will be disrespectful, and my father just has a reason to deal with them."
"At that time, my father and emperor can send his own soldiers there, and there is no need to mobilize Li Hongtian's Zhechong soldiers just because he is worried about making trouble."
"If the Xiao family is willing to let Second Young Master Xiao marry, then things will be easier."
"The King of Huainan must personally send his second son to Beijing to get married."
"My royal father directly sent people to be on guard along the way. As soon as Huainan Wang and his son enter Beijing, my royal father will directly catch the turtle in the urn."
Pei Yi didn't expect it, and secretly thought that Jiang was still old and spicy, and that the old emperor was indeed a shameless politician.
But…
"If the king of Huainan pushed the boat along the river and took his army with him in the name of escorting his son to Beijing to get married, wouldn't that be like luring wolves into his house?" Pei Yi asked worriedly, "The capital was just ransacked by a palace change. The troops are much weaker. If King Huainan really brings a large army to attack, will the capital really be able to resist?"
Huo Yuan's complexion also became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My father is very confident in the security force of the capital, and thinks that the soldiers organized by King Huainan must be a mob."
Qi Sha sneered and said, "It must have been the fifth prince's 20,000 army that gave His Majesty the illusion last time."
These words are too detrimental.
The fifth prince’s 20,000 horses were not just a mob, they were simply a group of members of a play house who were overwhelmed.
Huo Yuan thought it was funny, but couldn't laugh out loud. He sighed with emotion: "The King of Huainan is not my fifth younger brother..."
Isn’t that right?
Pei Yi complained secretly in her heart: One is the cannon fodder fifth prince whose name never appears in the book, and the other is the biological father of the male protagonist Long Aotian in the book. Can this level of strength be the same?
