Chapter 75
Wang Xuan was still calm and at ease.
Seeing this, many court officials were jealous.
"This founding prince, whose throne is hereditary, is so powerful that even the emperor doesn't take him seriously."
"Who says I have a good dad?"
"Humph! These nobles are the termites of my Daqian!"
But they could only talk big.
They could only pray that His Majesty would teach Wang Xuan a lesson afterwards, so that he would not be so arrogant!
Of course, the military generals had a good impression of Wang Xuan.
First, they killed the people of Rongdi, and second, they embarrassed the civil officials and consolidated the position of the military generals.
So when they left, they greeted Wang Xuan one by one.
Wang Xuan also responded with a smile.
Finally, Yang Heng also looked at him.
Wang Xuan bowed and said:"Today I want to thank Mr. Yang for speaking up for me!"
Yang Heng just shook his head:"No need to thank me, even if I didn't say anything, you can resolve it!"
"Besides, I don't like Rongdi either, so I just go with the flow!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
This little old man is quite arrogant!
But no matter what Yang Heng's purpose was, he finally spoke up for Wang Xuan.
He still accepted this friendship.
After everyone left one after another, Wang Xuan bowed and said:
"I wonder what is the matter that Your Majesty has left me alone?"
Li Chenghuan narrowed his eyes, patted the dragon chair, and said coldly:"Wang Qing's family killed someone at my birthday banquet, and the person they killed was an envoy from Rongdi......."
"......You, Wang Xuan, and the Zhenbei Palace, do you take me, the emperor, seriously?"
Although the voice was not loud, the momentum was terrifying.
The eunuchs and palace maids serving around were trembling with fear.
As the saying goes,"When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses are buried."
They were really afraid that the empress would vent her anger on them, and then they would die too unjustly.
Facing the empress's anger, Wang Xuan smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, why do you say that? Isn't everything I did what Your Majesty wanted me to do?"
Li Chenghuan snorted coldly:"What Wang Qing's family means is that I asked you to kill Ajinai?"
"But I just asked you to watch him, not to kill him?"
Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:"But your majesty deliberately asked me, the prince of Zhenbei, to receive the people of Rongdi. Isn't it hoping that we can have some conflicts?"
"It would be best if it was a life-and-death struggle, so that the two countries would restart the war."
Li Chenghuan looked at Wang Xuan with interest and chuckled:"According to what you said, what do I want to achieve by doing this?"
"Wouldn’t it be good to let the people of both countries live and work in peace?"
"It’s good for the people, but not good for Your Majesty!" Wang Xuan shook his head.
"Oh? What's wrong?"
"Zhenbei Palace!"
After these words came out, Li Chenghuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he said slowly:
"Why do you say that, Wang Qing? I am not dissatisfied with your Zhenbei Palace!"
"Today, the power of the princes is too great, and Your Majesty must be having a headache!"
"I think you want to weaken the strength of our Zhenbei Palace through the hands of Rongdi!"Wang Xuan's words are shocking.
When these words came out, the palace maids and eunuchs were all shocked.
Your Majesty and Zhenbei Palace are going to break up?
Is this what they can listen to?
Li Chenghuan looked at Wang Xuan, and Wang Xuan also looked at her.
It must be said that the empress is really beautiful.
No wonder his cheap father, the late emperor, and General Yang Heng all have a relationship with her.
The two looked at each other like this for a long time.
Li Chenghuan didn't expect Wang Xuan to be so direct. She was stunned for a moment, and then laughed:
"Wang Qingjia, you misunderstood me. I don’t have such an idea!"
"But I'm quite interested."
"If, I mean if, if I really mean this, why do the Wang family dare to speak so bluntly in front of me?"
"Or do you simply not take me seriously and want to provoke me?"
"Really......Don’t dare to kill you?"
The anger in his tone directly lowered the temperature in the entire palace by several degrees.
Kill him?
Wang Xuan was not afraid at all.
First of all, he came to Luodu as a hostage.
The empress wanted to check and balance the Zhenbei Army, so she couldn't kill him, otherwise the northern border would be in chaos.
Secondly, he was already a perfect master.
This meant that even a master in the ultimate realm could not stop him.
If he couldn't win, wouldn't he run away?
Unless Taizu of Daqian was resurrected at this time, and the Tianren realm took action to kill him on the spot.
However, Taizu hadn't shown up for so long, maybe he had already died.
The only thing left was to be afraid that the 100,000 guards would come up together and surround him, making it difficult for him to leave.
But that would require an ambush in advance.
Wang Xuan wanted to leave now, and no one could stop him.
But he didn't insist on going against the empress.
Exposing his thoughts did not make him a qualified rebel.
What's more, the empress had no intention of killing him from the beginning, and the bluff was just for others to see.
So he said calmly:"I dare not, if the king wants me to die, I must die!"
"If Your Majesty wants my life, you can ask me to kill myself!"
These words showed that he was a man of steel.
Only he knew how credible they were.
"Oh?" Li Chenghuan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help laughing:"Wang Qingjia, you are much more interesting than your father, that old guy......."
"If I really asked you to commit suicide right now, would you really do it?"
""Of course!" Wang Xuan said without hesitation.
Li Chenghuan squinted and stared at Wang Xuan's eyes, trying to see some different information from them.
But he couldn't see anything no matter how hard he looked. During this silent time, the most nervous person was not the person involved.
The eunuchs and palace maids' clothes were soaked with sweat.
However, the eunuch An in front of the emperor was very calm. It seemed that he had served the empress for many years and had seen a lot of such scenes.
Finally, Li Chenghuan laughed:"Hahaha, I just opened a small game with Wang Qing's family. How could I really let you die?"
"Then won’t that old guy Wang Xiang fight with me to the death?"
"But I am curious about......Wang Qing's family killed Ajinai on the spot. Aren't you afraid that Rongdi will come after your Zhenbei Palace to settle the score?"
This is what Li Chenghuan was puzzled about.
Wang Xuan could have used countless means to prove, such as the handwriting proof method, to prove that he did not collude with Rongdi.
Why did he have to use the most extreme one, which might even trigger a new round of war between Daqian and Rongdi.
The first to be affected was the northern border, which was the territory of the Zhenbei Palace.
As the prince of the Zhenbei Palace, Wang Xuan had no reason to do this.
But he did it anyway, beheading the brother of the Khan of the Qiyan Tribe of Rongdi in public, leaving himself no room for a turnaround.
Now even if the Khan of Rongdi did not want to fight, he had to fight.
But Wang Xuan had his own considerations.
In the original plot, Ajinai was doomed to die.
Even if he did not die in his hands, he would die on the way back.
And he was killed by his own people.
At that time, the war between Daqian and Rongdi would still start.
And the other side was well prepared.
Why?
Because from the beginning, this was the conspiracy of Erile, the Khan of the Qiyan Tribe.
He wanted to start a war.
Because he found that if he did not start a war, Rongdi would be finished.
