Outside the palace, the crows' cries became shriller and more cheerful.
No one expected that Zhao Xiaole would be so bold and reckless.
He completely ignored the existence of the prince and just killed people.
Those who had planned to add insult to injury were now kneeling on the ground, too frightened to move.
They are worried that it will be their turn next.
Zhao Xiaole didn't even look at them, wiped his hands and said, "I'm giving you an advantage!"
Then, he looked at the shocked prince and said, "Your Highness, I have received the news in advance that King Pingxi tried to rebel and deliberately let the Yan soldiers enter. Now he lets Lu Qingbai go back. If he is killed by a traitor, Chuzhou will definitely fall!"
"Moreover, King Pingxi is guarding the country, and now he allows the Yan soldiers to enter the pass, but he fails to stop him. According to the law, he should be punished! The state is in chaos. Although Lu Qingbai is innocent, he is also guilty today. He cannot be released until the whole story is found out.
!”
"Wang Yuan secretly manipulated the Imperial Guards to cause trouble in the capital, and now he is forcing the imperial court. He wants to indulge in criminals again to help the three princes to cause chaos. I will execute him on behalf of Your Highness to show the world that there is such an example of those who seek to rebel while serving as ministers!"
"Now that all the evil ones have been put to death, only the three princes and one party still have some survivors! Don't you hear that before going outside, you must first calm down the inside? I ask you to kill them on behalf of Your Highness!"
Zhao Xiaole's words were all very convincing.
Hearing this, all the officials almost fell to the ground.
Power minister, what is power minister?
This is the powerful minister.
Killing people in front of the prince, and taking the initiative to make decisions for the prince, Zhao Xiaole has already explained why he is a powerful minister.
Once the third prince was overthrown, Zhao Xiaole actually controlled the power of the capital, and he was the supreme emperor of the capital.
Before the prince could speak, Heng Hou could no longer stand it.
He hated the Third Prince for being a partisan, but Zhao Xiaole's behavior made him even more disgusted.
The third prince has never been so arrogant.
Even if the third prince was defeated, a powerful minister like Zhao Xiaole suddenly appeared, and the prince still could not hold the power.
What is the difference between this and before?
However, considering that the prince had always trusted Zhao Xiaole, Heng Hou remained silent.
But his fists had long been secretly clenched.
He didn't even notice that he originally didn't want to participate in the partisanship, but in his heart, he had already classified himself as the prince's person.
After hearing this, the prince calmed down and asked, "Xiao Le, if we send more troops to Chuzhou, what should we do if the Vietnamese go south?"
Zhao Xiaole heard this and replied: "Your Highness, this matter is easy to solve. In fact, there is no need to send too many elite troops. Ten thousand is enough!"
"I need to recommend someone. If he leads the army, he will definitely succeed immediately."
When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up, "Xiao Le, who is this person you are talking about?"
Zhao Xiaole replied: "Your Highness, this person is Henghou!"
This choice was something no one had thought of.
But when everyone thought about it carefully, they found it very reasonable.
Marquis Heng was a famous general before, so he would be a good choice to lead the troops now. However, after being in politics for so long, does he still know how to lead troops?
The prince also had doubts in this regard and asked: "Henghou has been away from the battle array for a long time, and now he is receiving orders in danger. Henghou, do you have confidence?"
Henghou sneered and replied: "Your Highness, although I am not talented, I am a mere Yan native in Liangna, but I have not noticed it!"
If you are willing, you will naturally be willing.
However, what he disdained was that Zhao Xiaole recommended him.
This was obviously a deliberate attempt to win over, how could Henghou be fooled by him? He had already secretly made up his mind.
He was only loyal to the prince, no matter what sweet words Zhao Xiaole said to him, he would never accept it!
The prince was slightly happy when he heard this, and a stone in his heart had already fallen to the ground, "Okay, how many troops do you think will be needed for the Chuzhou war?"
This issue is also what everyone is most concerned about.
If too many people are taken away, it won't be worthwhile.
Hearing this, Hou Heng reported back: "Military matters cannot be discussed in the court. They must be discussed with His Highness privately!"
The prince nodded and praised secretly.
Heng Hou is indeed very rigorous in his work, just in case there is a spy in the court, or the military situation is learned by the third prince.
It's inconvenient for everything.
The prince immediately asked Heng to go to the back of the hall and ask questions alone.
Qin Sining and Li Lin were also called, but Zhao Xiaole was not allowed in.
This surprised everyone.
Zhao Xiaole didn't say anything, turned around and left the hall.
Wang Yuan's body has been dragged out, and Zhao Xiaole has more important things to do. Since he has killed Wang Yuan, he will continue to do it and get it done.
Otherwise, once the war starts, Zhao Xiao will not dare to leave the capital at all. If there is a fire in the backyard, the front line will be defeated without a fight.
The remnants of Jinyiwei are now gathering near the third prince's residence, and they have secretly inquired about it.
The third prince is now hiding in the secret room of the mansion.
This is a good time to start a family.
As soon as he walked out of the palace, he immediately sent a message to Qinglong and others, asking them to take the Musketeers and Xichang Fanzi and go directly to surround the third prince's mansion.
After the signal was sent, Zhao Xiaole was about to leave, but several men in black had already vaguely surrounded him.
The other person's breath is very familiar.
It was those sights that he had felt vaguely and vaguely when he went to the Queen's palace.
Sure enough, the Queen is about to take action.
The old woman slowly walked out of the darkness and said, "Marquis Zhenguo, you dare to kill people in the court, you are so majestic!"
"No wonder you betrayed the Queen in the first place. It turns out that you have always been such a bold person!"
Zhao Xiaole sneered when he heard this, "Ladies, what can you teach me today? Do you want me to let the third prince go?"
Hearing this, the old woman snorted angrily, "Prince Zhenguo, your biggest secret is in the hands of the empress. If he reveals your identity as an undercover agent, what do you think will happen? Will the prince continue to trust you?"
"You know, she doesn't trust you now."
Zhao Xiaole said calmly: "Whether she trusts me or not is my business and it should have nothing to do with you. If you want to expose my identity, just go ahead and do it. But I want to warn you that you are responsible for all the consequences.
!”
The old woman sneered, "Zhao Xiaole, who are you threatening? If you still want to kill the third prince, don't even think about leaving alive today!"
Whoosh!
Two figures appeared next to Zhao Xiaole, it was Bai Hu and Xuanwu who were wearing masks.
When Suzaku went to protect Qin Sining, they naturally followed Zhao Xiaole.
Zhao Xiaole smiled and said: "I have itchy hands for a long time. Let your people take action together. If I can't die, I will definitely lead the musketeers into the harem, kill all the remaining demons like you!
"
The remnants of the Demonic Cult immediately angered the old woman and the man in black.
He no longer hesitated and immediately ordered everyone to take action.
