Wei Heyan pointed to the clues on the wall and added, "The main force behind the rebellion this time is Dongning King Xiao Ze. With the cooperation of various tribes, they have been locked in a stalemate with Pingchuan King since last summer."
"If King Dongning wants to win the support of other tribes, he will have to pay a price. The King of Northern Liao will have to deal with them and consume troops. Both sides want to fight quickly, but the war has been stalemate."
"Who is in the best interest of continuing the stalemate?"
Wei Heyan reminded Si Yiluo that she had never made assumptions, but there was no rift between King Pingchuan and King Bei Liao, and Xiao Yuanjin and Xiao Poyun were currently on the same front.
"It would be interesting if that were the case."
She was not surprised that Wei Heyan had such a thorough understanding of the situation in Bei Liao. He was serving at Emperor Yao's side, and there was always a chance that the information she handed over would come into contact with him.
Besides, he was originally responsible for her position.
Wei Heyan blew out the candle.
"The King of Pingchuan, Xiao Hongyu, persuaded the King of Northern Liao to borrow troops from our court just to temporarily stabilize us. If it hadn't been for the poor harvest in the past two years, and with Emperor Yao's temperament, if someone in the court had proposed sending troops to attack Northern Liao, it would have been exactly what they wanted."
Emperor Yao was very jealous, but sometimes he couldn't hide his ambition.
However, he did not have outstanding political achievements in his previous life. His most dazzling achievement was probably the decentralization of powers and checks and balances.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."
Wei Heyan, no matter how beastly he was, would never do anything to her in the check-in room. He probably disliked the poor conditions here. Even if he couldn't see his expression in the dark, Si Yiluo could feel his dislike.
Feeling disgusted, Si Yiluo rushed over and felt that his presence made his bed unfit for naps.
"There is another thing that happened during your absence these days." Wei Heyan suddenly remembered before going to bed, "Prince Rong was impeached. He took away wives and forced his staff to death. The emperor ordered him to be grounded in the palace for half a year."
Grounding is not a devastating punishment, but for Zhou Rong, at least he no longer has to worry about the choice of examiner for Chunwei.
Is it because she proposed to Emperor Yao that Yu Shibo be the examiner?
Wei Heyan hugged her tightly and comforted: "It has nothing to do with you. He blocked other people's way. You don't have to blame yourself."
"The emperor's decree tonight."
Yinyue sent the news back to the palace, "His Royal Highness Prince Rong knelt outside the imperial study room for half the night, and was just sent back by Wei Heyan. His Highness Prince Rong seemed to have a fever, but the emperor ordered that no imperial doctor is allowed to diagnose and treat His Highness Prince Rong."
Emperor Yao has always been ruthless. Zhou Zhan thought of the winter when he fell into the water when he was a child. He was obviously suffering from cold, but the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor was a tonic.
The deficiency was not replenished, and at that time, he also suspected that he had a terminal illness.
"knew."
The hidden moon placed the letter from the northwest on the table again.
"My subordinates resign."
Zhou Zhan looked at the letter on the table and saw that the battle had begun. Those schemes were hidden in ordinary life. The more ordinary the tricks, the more likely they were to kill people.
Prince Rong's Mansion.
When he was sent back to the palace, Zhou Rong was still conscious. He refused to go back to his room to rest. He knelt at the gate and shouted to the outside: "Father, I have been wronged!"
"Your Highness, you have a fever!" The spring was freezing and the night air was very cold. Princess Rong ordered her servants: "Hurry and get your Highness a cloak and a soft cushion!"
Zhou Rong just stared blankly at the closed door and raised his voice: "Father, don't you even listen to your son's explanation?"
As the eldest son, in his memory, his father was the loving father who would make him laugh and play with him, and the strict father who would severely punish him for not doing his homework well.
He has always respected his father in his heart.
"Father, I have never done this before!"
Princess Rong could only kneel in the courtyard with him, worrying about his health and trying to stabilize the servants in the house.
"The order goes down. No one in the house is allowed to talk. If anyone dares to talk too much, I will pull out his tongue directly!"
"Send someone to tell father..."
After kneeling like this all night, Zhou Rong, who was already suffering from a fever, fainted. The fever persisted, and everyone in the palace was so busy that there was a lot of discussion outside.
"It turns out that the ruthless man that night was Prince Rong. The life of us ordinary people can only be exchanged for half a year of grounding... Let's do more good deeds in this life, and when we are reincarnated in the next life, we will also choose a good family!"
"What kind of woman does His Highness Prince Rong want? He insists on seizing his staff's wives and forcing them to death. This is too despicable!"
"Who knew King Rong could be such a person..."
Through a door, I couldn't hear the discussion outside very clearly, but I knew there were no good things to say.
Zhou Rong's jaw is locked tightly and cannot be pried open. Even if the best medicine cannot be poured in, it will be in vain.
Princess Rong washed her face with tears, she had gone through a lot of vicissitudes overnight.
"Your Highness, you are the backbone of the family. You must not fall. Don't let those bedbugs who only hide in the gutter and plot people succeed!"
Still unable to drink the medicine, Princess Rong anxiously placed the medicine on the table and punched the air with her hands and feet.
She could only vent her panic when no one was around. After venting, she had to continue giving medicine.
In this world, people's joys and sorrows are not the same. This arrangement has been planned for a long time and finally succeeded!
Zhou Chen chartered a boat and held a graceful girl in his arms.
"The second brother has his own ideas. Doesn't Zhou Rong care about reputation the most? Let's destroy his reputation and see how he will teach others like the eldest son in the future!"
Zhou Rong is just grounded, but they can't completely rest assured.
"If nothing goes wrong with the choice of examiner, it will be Li Wei. Let's use some means to get Li Wei to join our camp. By then, the third brother's position will be stable."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "If the eldest brother falls, the position of the eldest son will fall on the second brother. Doesn't the second brother have any ideas?"
Since the last time he overheard his conversation with Si Yiluo, Zhou Chen no longer trusted him, but he needed his advice, after all, he couldn't think of such a sinister move with his own brain.
Zhou Chang knew that this was a test, so he lazily slumped back on the dancer's lap, stretched out his hand and squeezed the dancer.
"It's not like the third brother doesn't know my temperament. Besides, even if I want that position, I have to have the ability to match it. What does the third brother think I can do well? Which one can compare with the third brother?"
younger brother?"
"It's better to think of something practical."
He reached out and pulled off the tulle on the dancer's body, and took her into his arms.
Zhou Chen didn't know whether to believe him or not, he just smiled and pushed the woman out of his arms.
"I had a great time serving my second brother today."
He stood up and walked out of the cabin. The weather was still gloomy, giving the scenery on the lake a somewhat hazy feel, a bit like the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
From a distance, I could see the fresh green on the trees on the shore, and not far away, wild ducks croaked and burrowed into the water plants.
Zhou Chen picked up the exquisite wine bottle and took a sip.
The boat was floating in the middle of the lake. His feet suddenly slipped and he fell forward into the water.
The lake water was freezing cold, and Zhou Rong suddenly sobered up from his drunkenness. He shouted towards the boat: "Come here quickly! Come quickly..."
His ankle seemed to be grabbed by something, and he tried to flutter upwards, but it was all in vain, and his body was still sinking.
The moment he couldn't breathe, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Someone was trying to harm him! Who was it?
Is it Zhou Chang?
The more he struggled, the more desperate he became. The feeling of suffocation amplified the fear in his heart. He wouldn't really want to confess here...
His chest was painfully squeezed by the water pressure. He spit out a few mouthfuls of bubbles while struggling, and watched helplessly as the bubbles floated towards the water to escape, while his body became heavier and heavier.
