Emperor will kill

Chapter 93
Waking up from the dream, Chen Xiangxi got up suddenly, subconsciously looked at the bedside, but only saw an empty space.

She screamed as if waking up from a dream.

"burial?"

After looking over all the furnishings in the room, Chen Xiangxi lowered his eyes, couldn't help but grasp the list under him, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth.

It turned out that it was a dream
As she thought, her purple eyes began to mist—it turned out to be just a dream
Hearing the bell ringing outside, she estimated the time, thinking that it would be a while before the evening shift, and got up and walked out of the room.

Last night, I told Shen Tinglan to search and sort out all the information that can be searched during the day, and it must be almost done by now.

She thought about it and walked towards Lengyan Hall along the path.

Shen Tinglan sat on the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind, his question during the day just came to mind.

"Your Majesty, in the peerless battle five years ago, the empress escaped. This incident caused an uproar in the whole court. You see."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the person in front of him.

"If she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, I won't ask."

Shen Tinglan said respectfully:

"The humble official just believes that the empress has always been known as 'dedicated to death, sincere and loyal', but she retreated steadily and even fled the country in such a war that determined the life and death of a country. She is guilty of treason. The humble official believes that this is It's a 'thief of the country'. Since she has treason for the first time, there is a possibility of the second time, the emperor really, believe that the empress asked her to help with the internal affairs of the capital?"

I thought that the person in front of me would think about it before answering, but I didn't expect that he didn't even think about it, and he didn't even pause.

"Xi'er, she will not betray the country, there is no doubt about it. She will definitely not betray the country. She has always had a heart for the country and the people around her. As for why she defected in the end, she must have her own unspeakable secrets .”

Now it was Shen Tinglan's turn to be stunned.

He looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

The people in front of him are always suspicious, it's not his fault.

Those in imperial power have always betrayed their relatives.

Assassination and betrayal are the norm, and his suspicious personality is not his fault.

Therefore, in this imperial palace, even if there are people who have a slight hint of concealment, if he finds out, they will be wiped out, let alone someone like Chen Xiangxi?
It didn't occur to him that he still trusted her completely.
For a moment, Shen Tinglan only felt that the time in his mind was a little confused, and he thought of Xuanli's words "I'm afraid the two stabs were light."

After a long silence, Shen Tinglan felt the coldness in his eyes, and then realized that he was really rude, and immediately changed the subject.

"The slaves in the harem have been replaced according to your instructions, but what should be done with the replaced Yongyao slaves?"

The people over there paused and said:
"Women were rewarded as military prostitutes to the soldiers not long ago, and men were exiled to the frontier as coolies."

Shen Tinglan paused, a trace of pity flashed in her heart.

These two places are places where even ghosts cannot stay.

In this way, it must have been less than a year for this group of people to have no bones left.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Shen Tinglan's heart, she sighed silently that if the empress found out, the palace would be in chaos again, she nodded in response.

"clear."

Then, the people on Gong Yu's side paused and added:
"Don't let her know these things, it's half a point."

Shen Tinglan knew it in her heart, and cupped her hands.

"Understandable."

A series of scenes emerged in my mind, thinking about the future direction of the relationship between the two, and lamenting that if the empress knew the truth of this matter, she might be furious, and she might not help her again, so she thought about what was behind the matter of the slave Whether there are any mistakes in order to prevent her from seeing, I just feel a black shadow flashing in front of my eyes.

Open your eyes, it is Chen Xiangxi.

Shen Tinglan stared at her, the surging emotion in her emerald green eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He got up obediently, put the documents he had sorted out on the table, stood by the chair, and waited for her order with his head down.

Chen Xiangxi glanced at it and sat on the chair on the other side.

"There's no need to be formal, just sit down. I'm not the emperor, so you don't have to follow the rules in the palace in front of me."

A trace of surprise flashed in Shen Tinglan's eyes, then she looked up and saw that she had picked up the bamboo slips, her eyes darkened, and she returned to the position just now.

After a while.

Chen Xiangxi put down the last scroll of bamboo slips, closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"So, Duke Ding agreed to this battle, but because he can get tax from this battle, right?"

Shen Tinglan nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the person in charge of taxation is a person promoted by him himself. Besides, he was a little bit greedy when collecting taxes from the people in every war before. The emperor knows it well, but he doesn't care about it."

The elder brother was also in the same situation back then. He turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye, and then he was fattened up and slaughtered, and the seized items were flushed into the treasury.

Chen Xiangxi nodded.

"Then, because General Yue Feiyu was sent to prison, he had no one close to him who could go out with him, so he had to pick out other generals from the barracks who also had military merits but were inferior to the general, and it happened that Those three generals are all supported by Duke Ding, so they are his spies, right?"

Shen Tinglan agreed.

"Your Majesty is really smart."

"The problem now is that he only has those three generals around him to protect him. We can't change people temporarily because there are no other people in the palace court who can be his guards. Even if we know, we won't be able to find them for a while. Find the right person. Besides, it will take three days away from here, even if it is a fast horse whip, even if it is temporarily assigned now, it will be too late. You can only watch him surrounded by spies but there is nothing you can do, right? "

Chen Xiangxi said and continued:
"So in fact, we have entered a deadlock now. We have found out that he is surrounded by spies, but there is nothing we can do. One is because we can't find a replacement, and the other is because we can't make it. The most important thing is that even if the three of them are Dingguogong, we have nothing to do, because Dingguogong himself is the elder of the three dynasties, he has a high prestige in the court, and war taxation is not a matter outside the law. It makes sense that he has embezzled us without any evidence, so he has no way of doing it, right?"

"Lu Yuan is very smart. He knew that we would investigate, and then he deliberately didn't get out of this situation, just to prevent us from uprooting after we investigate, right?"

This is all that can be ascertained from the bamboo slips he gave.

Chen Xiangxi sighed, leaned back on the chair again, and rubbed his eyebrows.

It's really difficult.

Just thinking about it, I only heard the people around me continue:
"In addition to this, there is one more thing, empress, the humble position has already helped empress to find out."

She turned to look at him, dumbfounded.

"You don't want to tell me that Lu Yuan needs a lot of money to launch this war, and there must be someone behind him to support him, and this person or force behind him is something we can't deal with, even if the royal family comes forward, Can't handle it either."

Shen Tinglan arched his hands in his sleeves and said respectfully:

"Yes. It's the Jagged Alliance."

Chen Xiangxi: "."

"what"

Jagged Alliance, an organization hidden behind various countries.

The leader behind it, the national power involved in the wealth, and the total amount of wealth are unknown.

All I know is that this alliance is extremely rich and powerful, and has ties to most of the royal palace nobles and power gatherers in this world.There is no object of attachment, no position of support, just acting on the basis of money.

This alliance has a characteristic, that is, "gambling".

Good at gambling, good at gambling, dare to gamble.

Every bet is a sky-high price.

At least a city, as many as a life.

No matter you are the Heavenly King, Lao Tzu, Lord Yan, once you get into their game, you can't get out.

unless the stakes are paid.

If one had to estimate it, it would be Chen Xiangxi's uncle Guogong, the Northwest King, a man with great power in the imperial court, greedy for the latest pearl that the Jagged Alliance got, and made a bet with the Jagged Alliance at the cost of his life ,Failed.

Relying on the fact that he has thousands of troops and horses, he explained the tiger and wolf divisions one by one, and did not carry out the agreement. Instead, he let the thousands of troops stationed in every corner of the backyard of his house. When you sleep, you always hold a sword in your hand, and you always have people standing by your side.

But still lost his life.

No one knows how those people did it. They only know that the head of the brave Northwest King was beheaded, made into a clepsydra and sold to the wild prince, and the skin was peeled off and made into a human-skin flag. On the high wall of the northwest city gate, the tendon was pulled out and used as a riding whip, and it was thrown into an auction.

And the city under the Northwest King was breached because it lost its master, and the people inside were all ruined.

That year, Chen Xiangxi had just turned 12 years old.

It was the year when he entered Yinyang Road.

When the incident happened, it was half a month before she went in.

That was the first time she had an impression of the Jagged Alliance, and it was also the first time she saw all the ministers in the court sigh and shake their heads but were helpless.

Scary and difficult.

I would rather provoke Hades than provoke the Jagged Alliance.

It is her impression of this alliance.

As for the second impression of this alliance, it was when she later became the god of war and recovered the city.

That scene was truly horrific.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiangxi felt a chill down his spine.

It was even bloodier than the scene where she slaughtered the city in a rage.

As for why this league now supports the Zhulu League, and how far it can support it, it is still unknown.

This matter has indeed far exceeded her expectations.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.

Neither of them spoke first.

For a moment, needles could be heard in the room.

After a while.

There was only a sound of "pop!", and there was a loud noise in the room, and the birds on the branches outside the window fluttered their wings and flew up screaming.

The people in the room got up hastily, their slaps still resting on the table, and their tone couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Isn't it a dead end now?!"

　Oh my god! !
　　O earth! ! !
　　Chapters that could have been published in the early morning! !
　　It has been blocked and cannot be released! ! !Cried! !

　　This is re-issued again, so that the babies can see~
　　It's really hard to drive
　　Also pay attention to the details: the female lead said she hates the male lead, and she made it very clear, but the male lead just said that the female lead hates him. The two sides use different words when they talk, and their feelings for each other are also different. The male lead is still the same. Still pampering the heroine
