Zhao Xiaole coughed and said: "Your Highness, I had no choice but to take the overall situation into consideration!"
The prince waved his hand and said: "I know that you are taking care of the overall situation. What I am asking you is how do you feel?"
"Also, my father has woken up. There is no need for you to continue to address me as a minister in front of me!"
Zhao Xiaole didn't know how to answer for a while.
Qin Sining came to the rescue and said: "Your Highness, stop teasing Xiao Le, let's get down to business!"
The prince snorted and said, "If Sining hadn't interceded for you, I would not have spared you so lightly!"
"Remember, you must never let Sining down again!"
The prince threatened.
Zhao Xiaole nodded in agreement. Soon, he felt something was wrong.
Where have you heard the same thing?
Also, is the prince being too lenient?
Unable to figure it out, Zhao Xiaole stopped thinking about it.
Forget it, let her be.
When it came time to get down to business, the prince sighed and said, "Xiao Le, my father is still very dissatisfied with your massacre of the royal family's children."
"But it doesn't matter. I will give you more advice, so you don't have to worry. As for the conflict with Shenjun Bai Fang in Jiayuguan, there is no need to worry. The blessing ceremony can be reorganized. I don't think my father will blame you!"
"After all, you are a great hero!"
Zhao Xiaole's eyes flashed slightly, and he stared straight at the prince and said, "Your Highness, are these your sincere words?"
Under Zhao Xiaole's gaze, the prince did not dare to make eye contact with him and kept dodging.
Qin Sining, who was opposite, also kept winking at Zhao Xiaole.
Zhao Xiaole turned a blind eye.
It wasn't until he saw her lowering her head that Zhao Xiaole said slowly: "Since ancient times, those who have made great achievements will shock the master, and those who have made great achievements in the world will not be rewarded!"
"I, Zhao Xiaole, have made so many contributions and the rewards have reached the extreme. As long as I live one more day in this world, Emperor Jingyang will not be able to sleep well."
"What's more, half of Jingyang's army is now obeying my orders. As long as I give my order, they will point their spearheads at the capital without hesitation. The mountains and rivers will be shattered wherever the soldiers point their finger!"
"I am not a saint, and I will not hold others to the standards of a saint. As long as Emperor Jingyang does not embarrass me, I will not do anything!"
Unknowingly, Zhao Xiaole, who was excited, had already stood up.
Having said that.
Nothing more needs to be said.
The prince had already burst into tears. After a long time, she raised her tear-stained face and shouted at Zhao Xiaole:
"But...he is my father!"
After shouting these words, the prince seemed to have exhausted all his strength and could no longer hold on. After losing his voice, he burst into tears.
Qin Sining looked embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort him.
Zhao Xiaole suppressed his emotions.
Until the prince's cries became smaller and smaller, he sighed: "Now that things have come to this, Your Highness must make a decision!"
Zhao Xiaole wanted to make a decision for the prince.
in his heart.
The prince has been his woman for a long time.
However, things have reached the point where they are now.
Everything is as Zhao Xiaole said, the prince must make that decision.
Emperor Jingyang honestly acted as his supreme emperor.
It would be best for the court to remain as it was.
Otherwise, Zhao Xiaole will command the northern army and attack the capital.
Feng Dachuan, Wang Chong, Lu Xun, and even Chang Kun would all raise the butcher's knife without hesitation!
It's very simple, if Emperor Jingyang doesn't die, they will die!
It doesn't matter if you are a dead Taoist friend or not a poor Taoist friend.
Everything is fine.
Things must come to an end.
No one wants to be suddenly taken away and beheaded while lying on the bed, putting down the troops, with children and grandchildren around their knees.
No one wants to live in fear every day.
After a long time.
The prince slowly raised his head, looked at Zhao Xiaole and said, "No matter what, we cannot let him die!"
"Otherwise, there is no need to do anything in this world!"
Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "I can guarantee that he will not die under the blade!"
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. She nodded slowly, using up her remaining strength,
“Just do it!”
"You know what to do better than I do..."
"I...I won't keep you here today."
Zhao Xiaole looked at her deeply, turned around and left.
Qin Sining's face was filled with worry, and she wanted to step forward to comfort the prince, but she stubbornly shook her head.
Signaling Qin Sining to leave quickly.
Qin Sining sighed, eyes red, and left following Zhao Xiaole's footsteps.
In fact.
For the prince.
This is a difficult decision situation.
Zhao Xiaole is very simple, he and his soldiers need to stay alive.
The prince may survive.
She must spend the rest of her life in near confinement, with regret for the dead soldiers.
Is it possible for Emperor Jingyang to wait for his death and let the prince ascend the throne again?
Of course it’s impossible!
First of all, during the vacuum period when the prince loses power, her power will be immediately purged by Emperor Jingyang.
When the prince comes out again, she will not have any influence in the civil and military affairs of the court.
Even though Emperor Jingyang passed the throne to her again.
She also has no ability to continue to rule the world.
Secondly, the same situation has already occurred once. Although Emperor Jingyang gave the power of supervising the country to the prince.
Almost half of the power in the court is in the hands of the third prince and the queen.
It seems to be Emperor Jingyang's way of balance.
Why can't it be said that Emperor Jingyang had no intention of giving it to anyone? Or that he planned to give power to the third prince from the beginning?
If Zhao Xiaole and the Queen had not interfered, the world would have been controlled by the third prince.
Neither Qin Sining nor Zhao Xiaole believed that the prince was Emperor Jingyang's first choice to succeed him.
The most critical issue is that the prince is a woman.
As long as Emperor Jingyang announces her identity, or if any of the heirs to the crown prince learn about it, she won't have any chance.
The safest way is to formally break with Emperor Jingyang.
Hello, I'm hello, everyone.
Of course, Emperor Jingyang could also choose to be his emperor peacefully and not interfere in political affairs.
It's a pity that he didn't seem to be smart enough after just waking up from the illness.
He chose the most flagrant act of seizing power.
A break between the two sides became inevitable.
When Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining walked out of the East Palace, a eunuch who had been waiting for a long time blocked their way.
The eunuch's face was full of flattery, and he greeted the two men and said: "I have met the King of Liang, the prime minister."
Neither Zhao Xiaole nor Qin Sining recognized this eunuch, they frowned slightly and said nothing.
The eunuch continued: "The King of Liang returned from the campaign in the north and worked really hard. After your Majesty heard about it, he specially asked the villain to send some jars of aged wine to reward the King of Liang and his soldiers."
"His Majesty also said that he should have summoned Prince Liang in person, but his old illness suddenly recurred, so he was summoned by His Highness the Crown Prince. It was the same thing. Please don't refuse Prince Liang's reward of wine!"
Zhao Xiaole sneered, "Your Majesty's old illness has relapsed, is it related to the fact that I have violated the blessing ceremony?"
