Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 25: Emperor Qi’s big move!
Yang Xiu nodded: "Where are Liu Kang and Li Tengda?"

"Your Highness, I captured these two people after they entered the palace! They are now imprisoned in the Imperial Guards' prison. Your Highness, do you want to interrogate them or just execute them?"

Yang Xiu said: "Take me to see them!"

The deputy general nodded: "Your Highness, please come this way!"

Yang Xiu had a question in his mind that needed to be confirmed.

He was so curious.

Not long after, the deputy general brought Yang Xiu to the imperial guards prison.

After passing through the dim passage, I came to a cell.

The deputy opened the door.

Liu Kang and Li Tengda were tied to the rack.

There were no injuries on his body.

After seeing Yang Xiu.

The two of them shouted hurriedly: "Your Highness! Your Highness, help me!"

Yang Xiu ignored the two of them.

Instead, he waved his hand and asked the deputy general to go out first.

The deputy general bowed and obediently left the cell.

Yang Xiu's ears moved slightly.

After hearing the deputy general walk away, Yang Xiucai said, "You just said you wanted me to save you?"

Liu Kang nodded quickly: "Your Highness! We don't know why we were captured as soon as we entered the palace! Please seek justice for the two of us!"

Yang Xiu laughed loudly: "At this point, you are still stubborn. It seems that you are looking for death! Well, you are treasonous and will be punished with nine generations of your family! Since you are pretending to be stupid, then go downstairs and pretend to be stupid slowly!"

Having said that, Yang Xiu prepared to leave.

Liu Kang suddenly became anxious.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, we are not rebelling! It is His Majesty who told us to do this!"

Yang Xiu stopped.

There was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes as he turned his back to the two of them.

Sure enough.

Yang Xiu turned around.

"How dare you! You have committed such a serious mistake and yet you dare to implicate His Majesty! Do you think that since His Majesty is not in Da Qi now, there is no way to verify the truth of what you said?"

Liu Kang said quickly, "Your Highness! What I said is true! It was really Your Majesty's instruction! Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to say anything nonsense! Please understand, Your Highness!"

Yang Xiu snorted coldly: "Then tell me why His Majesty would do such a thing! Could it be that His Majesty knew in advance that Du Hang was going to rebel?"

Liu Kang hesitated: "This..."

Yang Xiu sneered, "You are really talking nonsense, you deserve to be killed!"

Liu Kang suddenly became anxious: "Your Highness! Your Highness, listen to me! I will tell you everything!"

Yang Xiu looked at Liu Kang, waiting for Liu Kang's next words.

Liu Kang said: "In fact, Your Highness has long been aware of Du Hang's evil ambitions! This matter was also instructed by His Majesty! The purpose of the two of us is to give Du Hang the confidence to rebel! Let Du Hang reveal all his cards. This time, even if Your Highness does not take action! We will lead the imperial guards to kill Du Hang at the critical moment!"

Yang Xiu said: "So, you stopped me just to make Du Hang reveal his plan and then let him rebel?"

Liu Kang nodded: "We didn't know His Highness would enter the palace today, so we thought it would be fine no matter who we stopped! By then, Du Hang would naturally be afraid of being exposed and take action in advance!"

Yang Xiu understood: "So that's it!"

Liu Kang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness! Now that everything has been explained clearly, can you let us both go?"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "It's clear now! In fact, you are so loyal to His Majesty, I felt there was something hidden from the beginning, it seems that I guessed right! It is really His Majesty's handiwork!"

Liu Kang nodded quickly: "Your Highness is very smart and has made every possible plan!"

Liu Kang felt at ease, he felt that everything was fine.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Yang Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

"But you still have to die!"

Liu Kang was so frightened that his soul was about to die.

"Your Highness! What do you mean? We are His Majesty's men! We are loyal to His Majesty!"

Yang Xiu smiled and said, "So, you must die! It's better to keep the imperial guards in my hands!"

Liu Kang understood what Yang Xiu meant.

The boss' eyes widened: "So! So it's you."

However, before he could finish his words, Yang Xiu had already slapped each of them on the chest.

The two men's heads tilted, their heart meridians were shattered and they lost their breath.

Looking at the two bodies, Yang Xiu became more alert to Emperor Qi's intentions.

His chess game was too big.

This time, he not only lured out Du Hang.

It also brought out some civil and military figures.

These civil and military officials will be liquidated later.

They are all connected to Du Hang, and most importantly, these people are old ministers of the previous dynasty.

That is, the old man who has been in the court since the Wei Dynasty.

The Emperor of Qi cleaned up the court at the same time to make his power more concentrated.

It’s a pity that Emperor Qi will die in battle this time, otherwise he would really be able to take back all the power and there would be only one voice in the court.

Da Qi will develop faster.

Now all of this should be a good thing for Zhan Doudou.

Or it could be said that it was a good bargain for Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu also figured out the whole plan of Emperor Qi.

Nanqing and Beiqi went to war, and the court was empty.

Zhan Doudou was young, so the power of the court had to be handed over to the queen and the ministers.

The queen is a woman and cannot participate in state affairs, so she doesn’t understand many things.

Therefore, all power is in the hands of these ministers.

Now in the Northern Qi Dynasty, most of the high-ranking officials, headed by Prime Minister Du Hang, are former officials of the previous dynasty.

There are many constraints in itself.

Therefore, Emperor Qi deliberately gave up power to arouse the desire for power in Du Hang's heart, who was already ambitious.

Afterwards, he asked two of his imperial guards to cooperate in the rebellion.

Uproot these officials of the previous dynasty.

Then when he comes back, he can promote new talents.

There was a major reshuffle in the court, and all power was taken back into his own hands.

After sorting out the calculations here, Yang Xiu couldn't help but sigh! This Qi Emperor is really a talented person!

This is the emperor's way of playing.

However, what Emperor Qi could not have expected was that he would die in this battle.

Therefore, everything that happens from now on will be handled by Zhan Doudou.

And this is a good deal for Yang Xiu.

After the court was purged, it is no exaggeration to say.

Yang Xiu will become the most powerful person in the court.

Plus the relationship between Zhan Doudou and Yang Xiu.

Then what kind of talents should be arranged to enter the court?

Isn’t it Yang Xiu’s operation?
It can be said that the Emperor of Qi was busy and operating for a long time.

In the end, Yang Xiu was given an opportunity to interfere in the court!

I have to say that Emperor Qi is really a good man.

Yang Xiu was in a very good mood. After leaving the prison, he felt his steps became lighter.

In front of the prison gate, Qingniao and Ren Ruyi were already waiting for him.

Yang Xiu asked, "Have all the restless elements in the palace been cleared out?"

Ren Ruyi nodded: "They have all been cleared out! Those people we had identified in advance have now been brought under control!"

Yang Xiu nodded: "Well! Let's go, after we finish dealing with the things that follow, we should also leave to go to the border to watch the fun!"

Ren Ruyi nodded to Qingniao.

Walking in the corridor of the palace.

Yang Xiu suddenly stopped!
Ren Ruyi and Qingniao immediately stood in front of Yang Xiu.

The two of them looked at the figure standing by the wall of the passage with caution.
