On the second day after returning from the palace, Xiang Tianci had some free time. He practiced at his residence for a while and then walked towards the hall of Zhao Mansion.
Today, there are many guests in the Zhao Mansion, and the hall is full of people. This makes Xiang Tianci confused. It stands to reason that a gathering under such circumstances would be easily misunderstood by others.
Xiang Tianci walked towards the hall. Seeing so many officials from the Zhao State, he seemed to have thought of something. He didn't say much, and sat quietly in a corner of the hall, squinting and looking at the people in the room.
Everyone. These people were dressed in gorgeous clothes. At a glance, they knew that they were high-ranking ministers in Zhao country. But why they came to Zhao Feiyan's mansion made Xiang Tianci suspicious. Could it be that these people were seeking refuge with Zhao Feiyan?
Zhao Feiyan was dressed in pink clothes, which made people's eyes brighten. Her beautiful face had a charming smile. When she saw Xiang Tianci come in and sit in a quiet corner, she didn't say anything.
"Princess, why did you call us here?" A minister who sat down asked.
Zhao Feiyan smiled and said, "Everyone also understands that the current imperial capital is not as good as before. The eldest prince Zhao She is going to rebel. Everyone should know some rumors, right?"
A minister said next to him, "Princess, Prince Zhao She is the crown prince and should receive the throne. Even if it is a rebellion, what can we do?"
A smile appeared on Zhao Feiyan's face: "Why, does Mr. Liu think that after Zhao She's mutiny, you can still firmly hold your current position?"
Official surnamed Liu “….”
Seeing that the official surnamed Liu looked like he was not concerned about the matter, Li Yue interjected, "Everyone should know that you are closely related to the princess. The princess asked you to wait here today because she wanted to collude on something big.
If Zhao She really takes over the throne, not only you, but also Zhao She's biological sister will definitely suffer!"
In the hall, a tall and mighty man stood up. He was tall and muscular, and he looked like he was a warrior. He should be a general of the empire.
"Yes! Zhao She is now in control. When the old king was seriously ill, this boy had already obtained the Blood Killing Legion, and his uncle Zhao Rong controlled the other two main battle legions. These two people controlled the empire.
Without military power, rebellion will happen sooner or later. If we still sit back and wait for death, we may not be far from death."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Zhao Feiyan's face, and she said, "General Liu Dehai is right! Everyone knows that General Liu Dehai was once one of the three main battle army generals of the empire, but Zhao She has taken over General Liu's military power. According to the laws of the empire,
, the royal family is not allowed to interfere with military power, and Zhao She’s actions are obviously malicious."
Liu Dehai said, "Now the imperial army is in the hands of Zhao Rong and Zhao She. I think the National Day of the imperial capital in two days will be the day when these two traitors rebelled. If everyone is still suspicious of each other here and does not work together,
I'm afraid we're really doomed."
Xiang Tianci, who was sitting in the corner, listened to the analysis of the two men and couldn't help but be secretly stunned. It seemed that these two people really got together. He couldn't help but be surprised at Zhao Feiyan's ability to pull the general who had been the main battle legion so quickly.
On your own side.
However, Xiang Tianci also noticed that among these people, the minister surnamed Liu does not seem to be very loyal to Zhao Feiyan now. He has been hesitating and does not want to have anything to do with Zhao Feiyan. After all, one is the prince of the empire and the other is the emperor.
Princess, which one is more important, this official named Liu still analyzed it very thoroughly.
The throne must always be inherited by the prince. This is the traditional concept of the Eastern Empire.
In the hall, several people were debating fiercely. This official surnamed Liu is the judicial officer of the imperial capital, and he is also considered a high-ranking person in the imperial capital. Moreover, this official surnamed Liu looks so shiny that it is difficult for people to regard him as a loyal minister.
Hook up with him.
Fatty Liu's face gradually showed dissatisfaction. He looked at Zhao Feiyan and several colleagues around him, but he still couldn't agree with Zhao Feiyan's point of view.
Fatty Liu has always been a double-dealing man and never offends anyone. Although he sides with the princess, he never has any objections to the eldest prince. Even if the eldest prince becomes the King of Zhao, the most he can do is to be given gold and set free. But if
He turned to the side of the princess, and if things failed, Fatty Liu and his whole family would suffer.
At the end of the sentence, the smile on Zhao Feiyan's face gradually faded, and her fingers curled together.
Fatty Liu felt that Zhao Feiyan's face changed slightly, but he was not afraid of her. She was just a prostitute. Once I died, he, the princess, would also be destined to marry away from home, and she would never be able to make any waves again.
"I, Liu Hai, know the princess's difficulties, but you also know that as a powerful minister of the empire, I must serve the empire. I cannot agree to the princess's order, so I will not participate with you. I can swear to God, I will not do what happened today.
As you said, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first!”
"Wait! Mr. Liu, now that you are here, don't leave!"
"Well? What do you mean?"
"Hey! Mr. Liu, you and I have some friendship, but such a major treasonous incident affects the wealth and life of everyone here, and I can't guarantee that you won't say anything. I think the mouth of the dead is the strictest.
I hope you won’t be offended!”
There was a murderous intent in Zhao Feiyan's eyes.
"You!" Liu Hai was shocked and angry now. He didn't expect that Zhao Feiyan would actually attack him. He glared at Zhao Feiyan and shouted, "Zhao Feiyan! You are just a princess, a female prostitute. You have no right to deal with the imperial ministers, otherwise
, your hereditary title will not be guaranteed, and you may even have to move your head!"
"The imperial law does say this, but do you think the current imperial law is still effective?" Zhao Feiyan sneered and said, "Whoever rules the country of Zhao from now on will be the law!"
Zhao Feiyan glanced at Li Yue beside her. Li Yue immediately moved and stepped forward. He swung the long knife at his waist and blood spattered on his bangs.
The ministers on the seats were so frightened that they trembled for a moment. They did not expect that Zhao Feiyan in front of them would use such methods. These people were secretly glad that they were not as pretentious as this bangs!
Zhao Feiyan showed a look of disappointment on her face and said, "Steward Li, give Liu Hai a good burial. After all, I have been planning for many years. Today's matter is of great importance, so I have no choice but to do it!"
Killing Liu Hai naturally acted as a deterrent, and the other ministers who sat down nodded in agreement to Zhao Feiyan's request.
Zhao Feiyan was not a fool, and naturally he would not believe the words of these ministers. He asked these ministers to write down all the words. If he was killed, they would not be able to escape the involvement. In this way, these ministers were forced to have no choice but to be loyal to Zhao Feiyan.
