After signing in at the border for ten years, the empress begged on her knees not to rebel

Chapter 5: Ning He, the daughter of a general, only wants to be a powerful official

"Are you finished?"

When the ministers became more and more excited and almost said that the empress was a tyrant.

Xiao Yanwen said calmly, "I don't know you yet, but I'm afraid that the Jinyiwei will find out about your shameful deeds."

This statement came out.

The ministers coughed dryly and their eyes became vague.

An official.

Who is really clean?

Even if you are not greedy and do not participate in those activities, there are people who force you to be greedy.

Forcing you to become one of them.

"This period of time."

"Be honest, everyone."

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Xiao Yanwen frowned and said, "You all know the methods of the Jinyiwei."

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed slightly.

It had only been a few years since the Jinyiwei were dismissed, and those present were all old officials.

How could he not know the methods of the Jinyiwei?

"Some tail."

"If it needs to be dealt with, it should be dealt with as soon as possible."

Xiao Yanwen glanced at everyone and said in a slightly cold tone: "If the Jinyiwei finds evidence, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Yes"

The ministers panicked when they heard this and nodded quickly.

"besides."

"I advise you not to have any small thoughts, or else you should not tell His Majesty."

"I will not forgive you if I am the first one to do so."

As Xiao Yanwen spoke, his eyes fell on two of the ministers, and he said meaningfully: "Others may not be easier to talk to than Your Majesty."

"Obviously"

The two ministers being watched by Xiao Yanwen.

As if falling into an icy cave, his body trembled slightly, his face turned pale, and even his voice trembled a little.

And the rest of the people at this moment.

He also looked at the two of them with horror.

"You two."

"You can be considered my disciple."

Looking at the two people whose bodies were shaking like sieves.

Xiao Yanwen said slowly: "If you can get out of this, do it as soon as possible. Don't get stuck deeper and deeper. If you persist, I can't save you."

“Students understand.”

Upon hearing this, the two of them bowed and thanked him: "Students, thank you for your admonition, teacher."

But having said that.

The two of them smiled bitterly.

Once you get involved in something, it's not easy to extricate yourself from it.

Apart from death, they have no other choice but to go down this path.

"All right."

"Everyone go back."

Xiao Yanwen shook his head and waved goodbye.

"We'll take our leave." Upon seeing this, the ministers left in panic.

Not just because.

Afraid of the methods of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

What made them even more terrified was the Prime Minister’s last words.

What exactly does it mean?
My Lord Prime Minister, why did you say this matter directly in front of everyone?

Those two adults.

Who did you join again?
What they didn't know was that just as they left, a figure that seemed to have completely blended into the darkness also left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Go straight to the palace.

"Jinyiwei"

"It's really scary."

Noticed the figure leaving.

Xiao Yanwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, squinting his eyes and muttering, "Although your majesty is a woman, she is very experienced and has many tricks."

"I have to admit it."

But he had to choose between the empress and other princes, or vassal kings.

Who will take charge of the Dawu Dynasty?

Xiao Yanwen would not hesitate and would only choose the empress.

His ambitions are not that big.

He had no idea about that position, and it was impossible for him to sit in that position.

He just wants to be a powerful official.

A powerful official who is second only to one emperor and above everyone else.

Therefore.

Choice is important.

Many princes of the Dawu Dynasty were either violent and cruel, or too cunning.

None of them are good at it.

As for those princes, they are useless and cannot hold the throne firmly.

______
Two days later. Zhenbei Palace.

The inner court.

It’s still the same pavilion.

Jiang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his face slightly gloomy, and a hint of anger in his deep eyes.

Outside the pavilion.

Several mutilated bodies lay in a pool of blood.

In just two days, he was assassinated seven times in succession by assassins.

The weakest ones are all third-grade warriors.

"It seems."

Jiang Xuan sneered: "This king has been immersed in it for too long these years."

Xu Shu withdrew his gaze from the assassin's body.

He said in a deep voice: "The Black Ice Platform is already investigating. In three days at most, they will be able to find out who is behind this."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly when he heard this.

Then he asked, "What news has the court had in the past two days?"

"Go back to your lord."

Xu Shu replied: "The Empress restored the Jinyiwei at the court meeting two days ago."

"interesting."

After listening to what happened in the court that day.

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that this empress is not that simple."

He and the Empress.

We met a few times back then.

But they had only met at banquets and had never communicated with each other, the empress at that time.

She's still a little girl with a runny nose.

"correct."

Xu Shu nodded in agreement.

He continued, "Your Highness, after the court meeting two days ago, the empress sent Shangguan Yun, the commander of the Imperial Guard, with a team of Imperial Guards and the daughter of Duke Wu, to rush to Chongli overnight."

"According to the time, it should be here today."

Jiang Xuan frowned when he heard this and said, "Jinyiwei Commander, the daughter of Duke Wu will go to Chongli together."

"Prince Jin is going to rebel?"

But in an instant, Jiang Xuan saw the reason.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet. Judging from the news from the Black Ice Terrace, although the King of Jin is ambitious now, he may not necessarily rebel."

Xu Shu's words.

This surprised Jiang Xuan a little.

The empress had just ascended the throne, and the only person she could use, besides the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was Ning He.

The daughter of Duke Wu.

The daughter of a general is well versed in military tactics.

He had an extraordinary talent for martial arts and had already reached the Vajra realm at the age of just 10.

If it weren't for the King of Jin's rebellion.

It was impossible for the empress to send these two people away.

Based on his understanding of the King of Jin, rebellion was inevitable and it was only a matter of time.

Moreover, the rebellion of Prince Jin will not last long.

He's out of time.

This year, King Jin is already sixty-seven years old.

Although in this world where martial arts flourish, sixty-seven years old is not considered a long life.

Moreover, King Jin is also good at martial arts.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem living for another 120 to 130 years.

But therein lies the problem.

The Prince of Jin was covered with wounds when he followed the previous emperor in his campaigns. He had been in a state of having new wounds all year round, and his foundation had long been shaken.

these years.

Old injuries recurred frequently.

Therefore, King Jin could not wait any longer.

If he doesn't rebel, he will never have the chance to sit in that position again in his life.

"It seems."

"The Empress knows these princes very well and can see that the Prince of Jin will definitely rebel."

"And he will be the first to rebel."

"That's why we let Ning He take over Chongli in advance to resist King Jin."

After Jiang Xuan thought about it, he was not surprised.

After all, after the Jinyiwei was dismissed, it has been secretly controlled by the empress.

She should know these things.

However, what Jiang Xuan didn't know was that the empress really didn't understand her uncles.

If it weren’t for the Emperor Simulator that appeared.

The empress still doesn't know which vassal king will be the first to rebel.

After all, these princes.

Each one is hidden very deeply.

Just relying on the Jinyiwei.

But I couldn't find much.
