The prince had never thought that King Pingxi was pretending to be ill, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, who would be willing to take the biggest risk?
The prince carries the entire country on his shoulders. Of course, the prince hopes that the risk will be as small as possible.
But she wasn't sure this was the right thing to do.
We can only hope that Zhao Xiaole can come up with the best plan.
In fact, it would be easy for Zhao Xiaole to let Lu Qingbai go.
There is no risk at all.
He wasn't worried about not being able to control Lu Qingbai.
Lu Qingbai was able to survive because Zhao Xiaole made a deal with Shifang Walker. The position of prime minister was given to Zhao Xiaole, but Lu Qingbai could not die.
Now, Lu Qingbai stays in Xichang every day. Although he is not well-dressed and well-educated, it is still reasonable.
It's just raising an idle person.
There is no problem in letting him go. The problem is that King Pingxi is not critically ill at all.
He still firmly controls the power of Pingxi Palace, and letting Lu Qingbai go back at this time will have no effect.
Moreover, Shifang Xingzhe specially sent a letter to inform him that the Demon Sect had infiltrated Prince Pingxi's palace. If he let Lu Qingbai go back, Lu Qingbai would either lose his life on the road or choose to flee to other places.
It is impossible to return to Prince Pingxi's Mansion, and it is impossible to obtain the power of Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
On the contrary, the imperial court will misjudge the situation and be thrown into Chuzhou.
At that time, the right to speak will return to the hands of the third prince again.
It was Lu Qingbai who wanted to mess up Jingyang before, but later he found out that he was the younger brother. Now it is the third prince and the queen who want to mess up the country. They can't eat from the pot, so they want to overturn the table.
Of course, Zhao Xiaole could not let this happen. However, before he could speak, Wang Yuan sneered and said first:
"Your Highness, I have a letter from King Pingxi. In the letter, King Pingxi misses his son very much. He also said in the letter that King Pingxi is afraid that there will be no successor. The country is now in such a critical situation because of the actions of the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Sincerely!"
"If His Highness can deal with the Marquis of Zhenguo and give him such a bad breath, then he can guarantee that all the soldiers and civilians in the entire region will wear filial piety, pledge their lives to the country, and have no regrets even if they die!"
After saying this, everyone took a deep breath.
You darling, Wang Yuan is willing to risk everything.
Who else in the capital today dares to make irresponsible remarks about the Marquis of Zhenguo?
It’s just Wang Yuan, right?
However, they are not brave and resourceful. Instead, they threaten the prince and the marquis of Zhenguo with reasonable and well-founded reasons.
Who doesn't know that the Marquis of Zhenguo and the Prince are wearing the same pair of trousers.
Dealing with Zhen Guohou is equivalent to asking the prince to abandon his martial arts. How could she be willing?
The wonderful thing is here.
Wang Yuan's threat came at the perfect time, when the country was at its most critical, and he was gambling.
The relationship between the prince and the marquis of Zhenguo was not that close at all.
Now that the Zhenguohou has made great achievements, it is impossible for the prince not to have the idea of suppressing him. Even this time, the prince did not agree to deal with him, or symbolically dealt with the Zhenguohou.
It will definitely lead to a rift between the two.
This is really a plan that kills two birds with one stone, every step of the way!
The letter was presented by the eunuch, and the prince fell silent after reading it. If it had been anyone else, the prince might have actually executed him.
But this person is Zhao Xiaole, and it is impossible for the prince to make this decision, let alone whether he can be dealt with.
Even if she loses half of her kingdom, as long as Zhao Xiaole is here, she can still secure the remaining half of her kingdom.
On the contrary, if the Third Prince and others succeed, she will definitely not survive.
The prince knew this very well. He looked at Zhao Xiaole and said, "Marquis Zhenguo, what do you think?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Xiaole.
Wang Yuan even sneered.
Li Lin and others did not dare to say anything.
Zhao Xiaole slowly opened his mouth and said: "If my contribution can benefit the country, why would I regret my seven-foot body?"
"I am just worried. Even if I let Lu Qingbai go and I kneel down to kill him, it will be of no use to the court."
Wang Yuan sneered, "Don't worry, Marquis of Zhenguo. As long as you resign and return to your hometown, I guarantee that the Yan soldiers will retreat on their own. Otherwise, I am willing to be cut to pieces by a thousand knives by His Highness!"
Wang Yuan was so confident in his words that others couldn't help but believe him.
The prince was silent.
Some officials from the Third Prince's remnant party suddenly became excited.
It seems that the prince really wants to depose the marquis of Zhenguo.
If the Marquis of Zhenguo really loses power, then he is a piece of meat on the chopping board and can be slaughtered by others. Who will be afraid of him?
Therefore, many officials also came forward and said, "Your Highness, what Mr. Wang said is true. Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is actually the best strategy."
"I hope His Highness will listen to Sir Wang's advice!"
"I hope His Highness will listen to Sir Wang's advice!"
"..."
Many officials knelt down to admonish.
They completely forgot that just a moment ago, they were still thinking about how to hug the prince and the Marquis of Zhenguo.
Because the third prince's leg seems... to be reattached again.
Looking at the kneeling officials, the prince felt angry.
There is no problem in letting Lu Qingbai go, but what is the purpose of dealing with Zhao Xiaole? She knows better than anyone else.
These people are still like dogs who can't stop eating shit, and they still have the same virtues.
You can imagine the anger in the prince's heart that he was trying to add insult to injury again at this time and forced her to do so.
The prince did not speak, and Qin Sining and others also remained silent.
Zhao Xiaole knew that it was time to take action himself.
He walked towards Wang Yuan, not observing the so-called court etiquette at all, and said with a smile: "Wang Yuan, it seems that you are not involved in the robbery this time by Wang Yuan, right?"
Wang Yuan was shocked and shouted: "You...you are bold, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Xiaole's face turned slightly cold, "When I cleaned those people, I did let you escape. However, I remember that you were in charge of the Dongchang. Those Jin Yiwei who went around killing people illegally should be in charge of you, right?"
Wang Yuan hurriedly said to the prince: "Your Highness, I am wronged. Those Jinyi guards followed normal procedures to arrest people, and they did not violate the ban at all. The marquis of Zhenguo is framed by me!"
"Whether the accusation is false or not, you know it yourself, and I also know it. Originally, I planned to spare your life, but I didn't expect that you would dare to openly persecute the prince in the main hall. You are so bold and reckless, and the prince will not kill you.
, I will kill you too!"
"live……!"
When the prince saw that Zhao Xiaole was about to take action, he quickly stopped him.
But Zhao Xiaole's movements were too fast. He struck Wang Yuan directly on the forehead with one palm. Wang Yuan didn't even make a sound and was killed on the spot.
After he died, the fear was still etched on his face.
He never expected why his threat would not work on Zhao Xiaole and the prince?
Are they really not afraid of Chuzhou falling?
Others were stunned by this scene. Having heard it and seeing it are two completely different things. They didn't expect the Marquis of Zhen Guo to kill so decisively.
