The sun sets.
In the courtyard, a breeze blew.
Chen Xuerong's black hair was gently lifted up, and the golden light shone on her face.
The soft light embellished her delicate facial features, reflecting her face like a piece of translucent jade.
Zhao Hongming actually thought she was surprisingly beautiful.
There was some movement outside just now, and he could roughly feel it.
For him, if Li Shengnan really stalked him, he really didn't have a particularly good way to deal with it.
Chen Xuerong stepped forward and just solved his small problem.
He really didn't know what to say except thank you.
After Chen Xuerong smiled sweetly, the two fell into a brief silence.
"By the way, it would be best for Your Highness not to go out in the near future." Chen Xuerong suddenly reminded.
During this time, Zhao Hongming was planning to practice swordsmanship at home and had no intention of going out. He immediately agreed: "Okay."
Chen Xuerong said: "Well, Your Highness, you should be busy."
She found that Zhao Hongming was practicing hard and stopped disturbing him.
It's good to be lingering all day long, but in her eyes, a real man should have great ambitions in his heart and shouldn't be too obsessed with the love between his children.
She could see that Zhao Hongming had his own ideas and plans, so it was enough to get to this point.
Just hide it in the center!
Besides, she is not a little woman and has her own ambitions.
At the very least, she couldn't relax in her cultivation, otherwise she would be left behind too much, and how could she have the face to say that she liked her?
Looking at Chen Xuerong's back as she returned to the house, Zhao Hongming suddenly felt something in his heart. He suddenly shouted: "Miss Chen."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xuerong turned around.
Zhao Hongming said: "You don't need to call me Your Highness from now on."
"Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me Zhao Ming."
According to his real title, his surname is Wei and Zhao, his name is Ming, and Hong is his seniority.
The correct way to call him among the people is Gongzi Ming, and Zhao Ming is his name.
Chen Xuerong shook his head and said: "No, His Highness is Your Highness, how can you call him by his first name?"
She smiled again and said, "But Your Highness, you can call me Rong'er."
Zhao Hongming lowered his head to think and said seriously: "Okay."
Chen Xuerong's eyes turned into crescent moons: "Yeah."
She returned to her room and began her practice.
Time flies like water.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the evening of the third day, news about Daliang City reached the Zhengyi Palace, causing the Zhengyi Palace to tremble up and down.
It was only then that everyone in the Zhengyi Palace knew that Emperor Jian'an had been concealing his plan.
After all the Xiao Xiaos in Daliang City jumped out, Emperor Jian'an Zhao Meixu launched a killing array.
In just three days, nearly ten thousand people were killed in Daliang City.
Li Yangchun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, participated in the turmoil, and nine tribes were exterminated. Nearly a thousand people were implicated, and more or less a quarter of the officials in the court were affected.
In addition, all the warriors from various countries hiding in Daliang City were also killed.
Almost all the Imperial Guards, Imperial City Division, and Palace Division came out in full force, and everyone was bloody.
The entire Daliang City was stained red with blood.
After this incident, Emperor Jian'an regained some of the lost royal rights.
In addition to this news, more important news was passed, causing an uproar among the princes.
That is the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Once the prince dies, it means that the East Palace is vacant.
Now among the remaining seven princes, they all have the opportunity to pursue Dong Palace.
The fourth prince, Zhao Hongli, was happiest when he heard the news.
He knew that such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If he didn't worry about some etiquette, he would have held a banquet to celebrate.
The Fourth Prince Zhao Hongli paced back and forth in the room, thinking carefully.
In his opinion, the fifth prince Zhao Hongming was weak and not an opponent he should consider.
The sixth and eighth princes are too mild-tempered and timid, and lack the aura of a king, so there is nothing to worry about.
Only the concubine Zhao Hongsheng, the seventh prince from a famous family, is in trouble.
Zhao Hongsheng's mother-in-law, Empress Yuanfei, came from the Yunhua sect.
This Yuanhua sect is a considerable martial arts force in Wei State.
There are many people in the court who have some relationship with the Yunhua Sect. If they support the Seventh Prince, it will be really difficult for him to deal with them.
His mother-in-law, Concubine Hua, came from the Feng family of Wuxun family.
General Feng Yi, who controlled the Eastern Army, came from the same school as him.
So his capital is also very strong.
Doing the math, in a few months, he will officially turn fifteen, the time for the prince of the Zhao family to establish a palace and be crowned king.
Once you go out to be crowned king, it will be difficult to get the position in the East Palace away from Tianting.
Next, we must find a way to convince his father to let him stay in Daliang.
The fourth prince Zhao Hongli decided on the next direction and opportunity, and immediately sent someone to contact his mother-in-law and asked her to think of more solutions.
It would be best for General Feng Yi to take the opportunity to make more meritorious deeds and consolidate the Feng family's status.
Compared to the quick movements of the fourth prince, the seventh prince was not idle either.
Although he was young, he also realized that such an opportunity was rare, so he took action intensively.
In the seventh prince's heart, the fourth prince was also a major concern for him.
As for the fifth prince and the like, he didn't take it to heart at all.
From that day on, the relationship between the various princes instantly became more subtle.
Zhao Hongming didn't care much about this.
He had known for a long time that the prince was dead.
He himself doesn't have much ambition for the position of East Palace, so he doesn't care about it.
However, he was surprised after hearing about Emperor Jian'an's methods.
Now, the news that the prince's death was the work of the Chu State has quickly spread to the front lines and other countries, allowing the Wei State to gain some righteousness in the Four Kingdoms War.
It is said that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds, but his strategy is even more poisonous than a tiger's.
In order to achieve his own goals, even the prince is his pawn, and it doesn't matter if he dies.
No, these princes are all his pawns.
If he hadn't been prepared for danger in times of peace, he might have been tricked.
It is really better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. A gentleman must constantly strive for self-improvement.
Putting his thoughts away, Zhao Hongming swung his sword again.
"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times."
"The third thousandth sword swing!"
Zhao Hongming struck out with his sword, and the rabbit rose and the falcon fell from mid-air, landing steadily in the courtyard.
He has been practicing sword skills these days, spending most of his time on the Heaven and Earth One Sword Slash every day, and his level of diligence astonished everyone in the courtyard.
Zhao Hongming suddenly realized and activated the [Tiandao Rewards Diligence] martial arts panel.
[Name: Zhao Hongming]
[Cultivation method: Bahuang Eternal Age Kung Fu-First Grade Xiantian (3364/6000)]
[Martial skills: Heaven and Earth Slash-seventh level (700/700), Eight Desolate Secrets (2200/X), Furious Fist-second level (57/1000)]
[Can break through martial arts: Angry Fist]
[Today’s practice time: 6 hours]
[Physique: Excellent]
[Root bone bonus: 2]
There is still no sign of breaking the limit of Heaven and Earth Slash, and there is no specific progress shown on it.
However, after so many days of practice, he noticed his progress and knew that the effect of "one effort, one gain" is still there.
He didn't get discouraged and kept practicing.
There are still seven thousand times before ten thousand times, come again!
