After Xie Yang left the court meeting, he hurried back to his mansion to discuss countermeasures with Xiao Shan.
The last thing they wanted to see happened. Someone else had the clue, and the matter of poisoning was handed over to Shen Xiaoyang, who was close to Qin Rushuang, for trial...
"What should I do? What should grandpa do? The kid really doesn't know what to do now! Half of the Imperial City Army is in Xie Xun's hands, and the father's side is tightly guarded by those old guys, so he can't do anything. Article, now even the poisoning matter has been handed over to Shen Xiaoyang!"
Xie Yang's face was full of anxiety. He really didn't know how to solve this situation.
Xie Yang complained a lot, and then sat dejectedly on the chair, with no fighting spirit on his face.
"Grandpa, can the child really only go this far?"
He is not willing to give in, he is not willing to give in!
Xiao Shan looked at his lack of fighting spirit and frowned, "Where are you now? You can't bear it anymore?"
"But grandpa, how do you think we should resolve this situation?"
Xiao Shan also had a heavy look on his face.
After a while, he suddenly stared at Xie Yang until Xie Yang felt a little hairy, and then asked: "Grandpa, what are you doing looking at the child?"
"There is no way to solve this situation now, and we are not at the end of the road yet, but..." Xiao Shan's tone was hesitant.
When Xie Yang heard what he said, hope suddenly burst out in his eyes, "Grandpa, is there any other way? What way? Please tell me!"
"I do have a way to solve the current predicament, but it just depends on whether you have the determination to break the boat."
Xie Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. Anyway, the child has been forced to this point. No matter what method is used, the child must try it."
Xiao Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Send people to send out all the servants in this courtyard. Don't leave any one behind. Even the people outside the courtyard tell them to stay away. Only you and me can be left in this courtyard." people."
Xie Yang was shocked and doubtful, instinctively feeling that what Xiao Shan was about to say was very dangerous.
But he still did as he was told, and ordered his confidants to send away all the servants around him, not even his confidants. The entire courtyard was eerily quiet, with only him and Xiao Shan left.
After everyone left, Xiao Shan said to Xie Yang: "Your Majesty is now surrounded by those six veterans. It's not that we can't do anything, but once we make a move, Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang It's impossible to sit back and wait for death over there, and with several veterans sitting in charge, it will be difficult for us to succeed."
"But what if we can control the situation in Kyoto and Xie Xun is not in Kyoto?"
Hearing this, Xie Yang subconsciously replied, "Now is the critical moment to seize the throne. Then Qin Rushuang has even received his grandfather who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River in Kyoto. How could Xie Xun suddenly not be in Kyoto?"
"What if I have a way to force Xie Xun to leave Kyoto?"
Xiao Shan came close to Xie Yang's ear and whispered a few words. Xie Yang's eyes slowly opened wide, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.
"Grandpa, are you serious? But if you really do this, what if the country is destroyed..."
Xiao Shan said in a deep voice: "The lost land can be regained in the future when you come to power, but if the throne is lost, you will never be able to turn around in this life."
Xie Yang still hesitated, "Having said that, even if we find a way to make Xie Xun have to leave Kyoto, there are still Imperial City Army in Kyoto, and there are those veterans around father, we..."
"These are not problems. Since I have a way to lure Xie Xun away, I naturally have a backup plan for these problems. Now grandpa just wants to ask you, do you dare to do the plan grandpa mentioned? Are you willing to do it?"
"Successful kings and defeated bandits, if you miss this opportunity, you will never be able to turn around."
Xiao Shan's words were like a warning bell ringing in Xie Yang's heart.
Xie Yang looked confused for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "I'll just listen to grandpa's arrangements."
Xiao Shan said: "In this case, it shouldn't be delayed. I will send a message to the other side right away. I'm afraid your Majesty won't be able to hold on for a few days. The sooner this matter is done, the better."
At this time, Xie Xun and Qin Rushuang had no idea what was about to happen.
Early the next morning, Xie Xun went to the palace to discuss matters as usual, but the fourth prince Xie Yang kept an unprecedented low profile and did not speak against him.
Although Xie Xun felt a little confused, he didn't take it to heart. He just thought that he was reprimanded by Emperor Qi yesterday because of Princess Lin's incident, so he avoided the spotlight for the time being.
Until the night of the second day.
News hurriedly came from the palace, requiring Xie Xun to enter the palace immediately to discuss matters.
In the palace.
Xie Yang anxiously paced back and forth outside the palace. Taking advantage of the absence of anyone around him, he whispered to Xiao Shan, "Grandpa, why did the Japanese country move so fast? It only took one day... How come...
"
Xiao Shan glanced at him lightly and said: "As early as when Xie Xun set off for Nanman, I had already contacted the Japanese country in case of emergency. During these days, Japanese soldiers and horses have been ambushing on the border.
This is the day we have been waiting for! I sent the letter to them via flying pigeon, and they immediately took action."
"The soldier who delivered the battle report..."
"I have also arranged for the soldiers who came to deliver the battle report. There is a time lag in between. But now, the country is about to be destroyed. Who can notice this? Don't worry, you only need to follow my instructions later.
Just go ahead and say it.”
The two of them were the first ones to arrive at the emperor's palace. Later, ministers came one after another through the night. After Xie Xun also arrived, the eunuch allowed all the courtiers to enter the palace.
Xie Xun didn't know until now that the Japanese country neighboring Da Qi suddenly raised its troops to attack.
Adjacent to the Japanese country was the eastern part of Daqi, and the defense was already weak. They had never paid attention to this small country before, but unexpectedly they suddenly launched an attack when the Emperor of Daqi was seriously ill.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Xun subconsciously felt bad.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xie Yang immediately spoke: "Father, the Japanese country is coming fiercely this time. I heard that the border city has been destroyed, and when the troops stationed in the east went to the southern barbarians, they allocated 20,000 troops to the hands of my second brother.
, After the second brother came back from the Southern Barbarians, the military power has not been handed over to the father. The most suitable candidate at this time is the second brother. It is most appropriate for him to lead the 40,000 soldiers to fight against the Japanese country."
Xie Xun's eyes darkened and he came.
When he heard about the Japanese rebellion, he immediately thought of his previous expedition to the Southern Barbarians, because Emperor Qi was afraid of his control over the border guards and did not let him lead the troops and horses of the border guards.
Instead, 20,000 defensive soldiers from the east were transferred to him, and together with the original troops and horses, the total was 40,000. After that, these troops and horses were never returned to Emperor Qi, and Xie Yang never made a fuss about this matter.
Now it seems that he was waiting for him here...
At this stage of seizing the throne, Emperor Qi's body was getting weaker and weaker, and he only had more than ten days to live. At this time, Xie Yang was trying to keep him away from the capital. What was his intention? It was already clear at a glance.
