In the study room of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
Xu Yong sat paralyzed on the Taishi chair.
He stared blankly at the rice paper dotted with bright blood plums placed on the desk.
Time seemed to have stopped completely at this moment.
In the huge study room of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, there was no other sound except Xu Yong's breathing that was quick and slow.
The cold deathly silence completely enveloped the entire study at this moment.
"Huh~!"
"Huh~!"
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe an hour or two.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
When the warm sun outside the window is getting higher and higher.
The cold atmosphere in the study room of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace also grew stronger.
It seemed faintly that it could compete with the warm sun outside the window.
at the same time.
Xu Yong's originally pale complexion due to vomiting blood gradually turned a sickly red as he sat slumped on the Taishi's chair.
"The King of Yan's camp has 21,000 soldiers! The medicinal jade workshop in Luo City is making gold every day!"
"Now we have thousands of armors and thousands of horses..."
"Back then...back then...we shouldn't have let him go!"
"Xu Yi! How lonely and hateful!"
Xu Yong slumped down on the Taishi chair with a red face, his eyes fixed on the rice paper covered with scarlet blood.
His eyes were full of endless hatred.
And the hatred is mixed with a deep sense of regret.
I do not know how long it has been.
Maybe a quarter of an hour or two.
Maybe more than a hundred breaths.
The deep regret in Xu Yong's eyes gradually dissipated.
What replaced it was an indescribable coldness and ferociousness.
Compared with the harm caused by Xu Yi staying in the capital.
To a certain extent, the losses caused by the feudal lord were nothing.
So much silence.
Xu Yong took a few deep breaths, and finally regained his composure.
Then he raised the Langhao pen again with a grim look on his face.
The moment the tip of the pen in his hand touched the rice paper.
Xu Yong's expression suddenly changed, and then he slammed the wolf-brush pen in his hand onto the desk.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The Langhao pen worth a hundred taels of silver was split into two.
Xu Yong's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were extremely cold as he stared at the precious wolf hair that had been split into two but had no trace of ink.
"Xu Yi!"
Xu Yong, who was filled with anger, suddenly stood up from the imperial chair.
Then he grabbed the inkstone with half-dried ink.
Thrash it to the ground.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
The inkstone, which was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold, fell into pieces.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Xu Yi deserves to die!"
"You deserve to die too!"
Xu Yong looked up at the direction of the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial Palace with a ferocious face.
His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate through the layers of palaces and reach deep into the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
If it weren't for Emperor Zhengde's delay in dying.
How could it be so helpless?
this moment.
The desire in Xu Yong's heart was dozens or hundreds of times greater than before.
"call!"
I do not know how long it has been.
After venting his anger, Xu Yong let out a heavy sigh of relief.
After the restless mind gradually calmed down.
Xu Yongfu took out a brand new inkstone.
After pouring water and grinding ink again.
Xu Yong suppressed all the murderous intention in his heart, then he once again put the pen on the rice paper and slowly copied: "If you get thousands of horses, you will be like a tiger with wings."
"Thousands of pieces have been lost. One is declining and the other is growing. It may be difficult to shake its edge."
"If Yi has two minds, he may be overthrown in an instant. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, should beware of this."
This is the writing.
The pen in Xu Yong's hand couldn't help but suddenly paused.
After more than a hundred breaths.
Xu Yong suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and took up his pen again to slowly copy: "In addition, there is a severe cold in the Liao Dynasty today, and snow disasters are raging."
"Liao Yan has nothing to do, and the people of Liao will be killed and injured without reckoning."
"Of course, at this time of year, regardless of the cost, Yi sent merchant soldiers to protect a cheap heating item and went to Liao land."
"Save all people from water and fire, and you will be loved by all people."
"I'm afraid that the people of Liao only know Yan Yi, but they don't know Liao Yan, let alone the imperial court."
"This is a change in people's hearts and a great taboo for the country."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Lord of the East Palace and the Crown Prince of the country. I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince for my utmost support."
When the last word falls.
Xu Yong slumped down on the Grand Master's chair again, as if all his energy and energy had been drained from his body.
However, the murderous intent in his eyes was dozens or hundreds of times greater than before.
But I don’t know why.
The murderous intent that was so strong that it almost turned into water was only slightly mixed with a hint of fear.
And as time passes slowly breath by breath.
Those feelings of fear actually grew stronger.
"He is paving the way for rebellion."
Xu Yong sat slumped on the Taishi chair, his eyes fixed on the rice paper with the word "rebellion" written all over it.
The originally sickly red complexion gradually turned pale.
"Father!"
"Yes! Father!"
"If my father knew about this, he would definitely not tolerate such an ambitious person!"
Xu Yong grabbed the rice paper with the word "rebellion" written all over it and stood up from the Taishi chair with a jump.
Of course.
When Xu Yongfang stood up, it was as if someone had once again sucked all the energy out of his body.
He slumped down on the Taishi chair again.
"No! No!"
"What's the difference between going like this and seeking death?"
Xu Yong sat slumped on the Taishi chair, shaking his head repeatedly with a complicated expression.
Without war, the king will not see the king!
This is the iron law of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
It is also the most untouchable red line for the Great Peripheral King.
If you touch it, you will die!
Same reason.
If the prince has too close contact with the border vassal king, he will also die.
If he took the secret letter directly to the Yangxin Hall of the imperial palace to ask for an audience with Emperor Zhengde.
How is this different from seeking death?
Thinking about this.
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Xu Yong's pale face.
"calm down!"
"Think before you act! Think before you act!"
Xu Yong violently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and washed his face with cold sweat in an attempt to calm down.
After a while.
Xu Yong, who had calmed down a little, slowly closed his eyes.
I kept thinking about countermeasures in my mind.
"What Xu Qi said is true."
"Then there is no doubt that those ambitious people must be preparing for rebellion."
"But, what should I do?"
"I am the first person to die when I write to my father."
"If you let others pass it on, my father will definitely take this matter very seriously."
"At that time, if I follow the clues, it will be difficult for me to escape suspicion."
"If it's two years later or one year sooner, my father will definitely die."
"Is it necessary to take such a big risk at this time?"
"And taking risks will definitely lead to results?"
Thinking about this.
Xu Yong's tightly closed eyelids couldn't help but beat wildly.
at the same time.
Xu Yong couldn't help but think of the increasingly anxious battle between the two countries in Mobei.
And hidden in the two countries of Mobei
The game of vassal reduction under war.
In addition, there are the coastal counties that are becoming increasingly restless.
And the diversion of the Yellow River that is very likely to happen next summer.
Under such external and internal troubles.
If he were Emperor Zhengde, his top priority would probably be to stabilize Xu Yi.
After all external and internal troubles have been eliminated, we can then settle the accounts after the fall.
Can......
But Emperor Zhengde would surely ride on a dragon as late as two years or as soon as one year.
Where did he find the time to settle the scores?
By then, this mess will inevitably be left to him.
And based on his relationship with Xu Yi.
How could Xu Yi wait until his fall to settle the score?
besides.
After all, two years at the latest or one year at the earliest is still too long.
If Xu Yi is given another one to two years, he can prepare without distraction.
God knows how powerful Xu Yi will be by then.
Thinking about this.
Xu Yong couldn't help but break out beads of cold sweat as big as soybeans on his forehead.
"Yan, Dai, Liao."
"Three lands and six counties!"
"Seize the ghost in one fell swoop!"
"Cao Zhong is stubborn!"
"The stubborn old immortal in the family."
"The Palace of the Prince of Jin in the Western Regions."
Xu Yong slumped down on the Taishi chair and murmured word by word.
Every time a word came out of his mouth, the beads of cold sweat as big as soybeans on Xu Yong's forehead increased.
At the same time.
His already pale complexion became even paler.
to the end.
It has officially changed from pale to pale.
Actually I can't believe it.
If Xu Yi is given an extra one to two years to prepare.
What kind of situation will be waiting for you.
By then.
Xu Yi, who is well prepared, will definitely find various reasons to rebel.
Once an army is launched to rebel, it is bound to take over Dai and Liao, which are much weaker than before, with a thunderous force.
If Dai and Liao were lost, would the entire Youzhou be far behind?
If Xu Yi unified Youzhou.
Some old die-hards in the court and those old immortals in the aristocratic families who are willing to die will definitely help him overtly and covertly.
To fight for the merit of following the dragon!
also!
There is also the Xu Zhen family who have guarded the Western Region for more than 20 years.
Given his relationship with Xu Yi, how could he not lend a helping hand?
Although Jin Wang Xu Zhen had been away from the Western Regions for more than several years.
But most of the troops and horses in King Jin's camp in the Western Regions were still under his control.
Thinking about this.
Xu Yong couldn't help but feel depressed.
A deep sense of despair enveloped his heart.
Leave him no room to breathe.
"call!"
Xu Yong let out a heavy breath of depression.
Then he quickly stood up from the master's chair, clutching his chest, and then jogged all the way to the window sill.
As he hurriedly pushed open the closed window sill.
The slightly cool but exceptionally fresh and sweet air outside the window instantly surged into the large study room filled with suffocating despair.
Xu Yong lay down next to the window sill, swallowing the fresh air in his face like a fish about to die of thirst frantically sucking water.
After a while.
Xu Yong lay prone beside the window sill and finally stopped eating.
"Dai and Liao cannot be lost."
"At least! Daichi can't be lost!"
"Even if you have to pay a very heavy price for it!"
Xu Yong slowly stood up from the window sill, looking through the wide open window sill at the location of Juyang City, Gu County, Yandi, with a ferocious and ferocious face.
Just when he secretly made up his mind.
Outside the closed study room of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.
A middle-aged eunuch hurried towards the study room.
"Changfu Cheng, please report to His Highness as soon as possible."
"Zhan Zhangyin has arrived outside the palace following His Majesty's instructions."
Hear this.
Chang Xingrong couldn't help but feel his scalp numb.
The fate of the young eunuch not long ago came to mind.
Since Zheng Guogong Ji Kai was executed by the whole family.
Don't look at Xu Yong who still looks gentle and elegant in front of others.
But his hostility towards others became even more profound.
No one else knows about this.
As Xu Yong's confidant, how could he not know this?
That's why.
Whenever Chang Xingrong asked to see Xu Yong, he would always try his best to get people to come forward first.
But the good thing is.
A situation like today would never happen once in a month or two.
Can.
But just when he stood outside the study door, he clearly heard several strange sounds.
What's the point of asking him to knock on the door at this time instead of getting into trouble?
Just when Chang Xingrong was about to tactfully ask the middle-aged eunuch to knock on the door.
The closed door behind him suddenly creaked softly.
Chang Xingrong felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly turned around and looked behind him.
As soon as he saw it, it was Xu Yong.
At this time, Xu Yong had no other abnormalities except that his face was slightly pale.
"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Han Xingrong felt relieved and quickly saluted with his hands in hand.
"My slave, I pay my respects to Your Highness."
The middle-aged eunuch behind him hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.
"No gift."
Xu Yong nodded slightly as usual, and then stepped past Chang Xingrong and the middle-aged eunuch.
Go straight towards the palace gate.
...
...
"My son, Yong, respectfully welcomes my father's instructions."
After a while.
Xu Yong walked outside the East Palace and bowed deeply to Zhan Zhu, who represented Emperor Zhengde.
"Proclaim His Majesty's decree."
"Tonight, Prince Yong will hold a banquet for all officials on my behalf."
The great eunuch Zhan Zhu glanced at Xu Yong, who bowed deeply, with a vague meaning, and then read aloud.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth.
Xu Yong bowed deeply and his body trembled a few times.
On New Year's Eve, the emperor held a banquet with hundreds of officials. This is a ritual that has existed since ancient times.
Of course.
Looking at the Zhou Dynasty from the founding of Emperor Taizu to the present day.
For more than two hundred years.
No prince has ever had the honor of hosting a banquet for all officials on behalf of the emperor.
It is naturally self-evident what the meaning behind this move is.
"My son, I will obey my father's will."
Xu Yong, who had no time to delve deeper, calmed down briefly and then answered unhurriedly.
"Your Highness, please get up quickly."
Hearing this, Zhan Zhu hurriedly walked a few steps and helped Xu Yong to his feet.
"The oral order has been announced, and the servants should return to the palace as soon as possible to serve His Majesty."
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
The words are over.
Zhan Zhu turned around and wanted to leave.
"Zhan Palm Seal, please be slow."
"What else does your Majesty have to do?"
"No...nothing, I just want to ask Zhan Zhangyin to pay my respects to my father on behalf of Yong."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is full of filial piety, and I will definitely convey it to His Majesty."
"Thank you Zhan Zhangyin."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has broken this slave. If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Zhan Zhangshou, please."
After a while.
Xu Yong stared deeply at Zhan Zhu
direction of disappearance.
An extremely bold idea flashed through my mind.
"Maybe it won't take a year, let alone two years!"
With a faint smile on his face, Xu Yong flicked his wide sleeves, then turned around and walked straight towards the study.
After a while.
Xu Yong returned to the closed study.
The study room at this time was the same as when I left.
A fine wolf-hair pen broken into two pieces.
A precious inkstone that fell apart.
Everything seemed to remind him of what had just happened in the study all the time.
However.
Compared with the gloomy, ferocious and terrifying scene just now.
Today's Xu Yong is filled with the "gentleness" of a prince from the inside out.
However.
Just when he was filled with joy.
Another uninvited guest was welcomed outside the closed study.
A young female official hurriedly walked towards the closed parties.
"Dong dong dong."
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is in urgent need of help."
The young female official walked to the closed study and hurriedly knocked on the door before she could take a breath.
