Prince Jin's expression was surprised, with a hint of disbelief.
Everyone knows that the battle for the throne is not that simple.
There are too many things involved in the power of the court, political power and military power, the support of ministers, conspiracies, and infighting.
But the old King Xuan actually passed the throne to her. This shows that King Xuan is by no means comparable to ordinary women.
In response to King Jin's surprise, King Xuan did not say anything, but smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said: "King Jin has been traveling all the way and is tired from traveling and traveling. I have prepared a small amount of wine to catch the wind and wash away the fatigue for you. Please take a seat."
Her voice is very beautiful, not delicate or soft, but has an ethereal quality and is very pleasant to the ear.
"Ah?" King Jin came to his senses and seemed to feel that he had been rude. He said quickly: "Thank you very much. Sister Xuan is too polite."
Hearing him call her Wang Mei, King Xuan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and an imperceptible cold light flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled slightly: "No, no, this is what you should do, please."
"please."
King Jin also adjusted his mentality at this time. He was living here as a guest and living under someone else's roof, so he naturally sat down under King Xuan.
In the hall, Yang Zhao and several other Xuanguo ministers accompanied him. After the food and drinks were served, Meng Li, who was behind King Jin, immediately stepped forward and began to test the poison with silver needles.
"My lord, it is non-toxic and can be eaten with confidence."
"well……"
This action would have been nothing in the Jin State, because the King of Jin was, after all, the king of a country.
But the situation was different now. This was in Xuan Kingdom, and King Xuan invited him to a banquet. What was the difference between such an action and a slap in the face.
There is no doubt that King Xuan was immediately moved by his beautiful eyes, and he immediately took action.
The bang shocked everyone in the hall.
King Jin couldn't help but swallowed, and asked cautiously: "Xuan...Sister Xuan, what's going on..."
"Hmph! I am tired! Prince Jin, please eat by yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Xuan also walked away with a wave of his sleeves, showing his strength to the extreme.
Her aura is so powerful!
Even the king, King Jin, was shocked and did not dare to say a word.
After he left, several Xuanguo ministers in the hall also left the table, and some people immediately began to accuse:
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin is too rude! My King has saved the Jin Kingdom from this dilemma! Today I am inviting you so kindly, how can I be like this!"
"That's right! At this banquet in the palace, a silver needle was used to test the poison! It's simply unreasonable!"
"Jun Jin did this because he did not take my king seriously!"
Everyone asked sternly, with sharp words, how could they treat King Jin as the king of a country.
"You are so bold!" Meng Li looked around angrily and shouted loudly when he saw this.
"You're rude! What do you want to do! This is Prince Xuan's Palace!" A minister immediately pointed his finger at him.
Hearing this, the latter's nose almost became angry. Whenever he had been so aggrieved, he would step forward as a pretense.
The King of Jin hurriedly stopped him, and then smiled at the Xuanguo ministers who were accusing him: "Haha, what you said is absolutely true, and what you said is absolutely true. Just now, it was my lack of consideration, and I was indeed rude in the first place."
"Humph!" All the ministers of Xuanguo snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty!" Meng Li looked at King Jin with wide eyes.
The latter secretly winked at him, signaling him not to be impulsive, and just as he was about to say something, a Xuanguo minister already said angrily: "Since the King of Jin is rude, we don't have to accompany you, so we're leaving!" "
As he spoke, the minister walked away.
When other people saw this, they also said one after another:
"Farewell!"
"Farewell! King Jin will use it as he pleases!"
After everyone left, King Jin was dumbfounded.
"This! Your Majesty! These Xuanguo officials are simply bullying people too much! It's intolerable!"
"How can you not bow your head when you are under the eaves!" King Jin also said sadly: "If I had known this, I should have fought Qin Liang until the last moment! Even if he died in the royal city! It would be better than now!"
"Your Majesty—" Mengli felt sad in his heart when he heard these words.
Once upon a time, the Jin State was so powerful that no other country dared to offend it. How had the King of Jin ever been so angry?
But how did he know that King Xuan was just taking the opportunity to get angry and find some high-sounding reasons for what would happen next.
Even if there was no silver needle test, King Xuan would have found other troubles.
That night, King Jin was also taken out of the palace by Yang Zhao and arranged a place to stay for him.
Ziwei Pavilion.
Just near the palace, a place with an elegant environment is also the place of the royal family.
After the King of Jin was arranged here, the Xuan army was heavily deployed within a radius of ten miles to protect his safety.
Secretly, there are many Tsing Yi Guard masters.
King Jin knew in his heart that he was already behind bars. After entering Ziwei Pavilion, he subconsciously asked: "My king, my beloved concubines..."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, there will be sergeants escorting you soon." Yang Zhao said directly.
"Ah, that's good, that's good." King Jin swallowed and began to take stock of the environment here.
After placing him under house arrest, Yang Zhao came out of Ziwei Pavilion. Not long after, a leader of the green-clothed guards came quickly, cupped his fists and saluted, "Sir."
"Yes." Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Deploy some more elite experts. King Jin is not allowed to take a step without the king's order!"
"I understand your humble position!" The leader took the order and left.
The next morning, after the morning court, I visited the study room of the Xuan Palace.
Yang Zhao came to report. King Xuan glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "Have the Jin King's forbidden troops been dealt with?"
"According to the king's instructions, all of them have been secretly detained." Yang Zhao returned.
King Xuan pondered for a moment: "Kill them all together with the ministers of Jin."
Hearing this, Yang Zhao was shocked and couldn't help but swallowed: "All...all?"
"Cut the grass, that is, to get rid of the root. Leaving them behind will always be a disaster. All the family members of the Jin ministers will also be executed. It should be done secretly and not cause trouble in the city." King Xuan said.
"Yes! Wei Chen understands!" Yang Zhao responded quickly and asked tentatively: "Then, how will King Jin deal with it?"
"Let him be placed under house arrest first. When he is no longer of use, he will be killed later." King Xuan's tone was as calm as ever.
After speaking, he asked again: "By the way, where is that batch of gold and silver? Have they been confiscated?"
"I have checked everything clearly, and I am about to ask the king for instructions whether to include it in the national treasury." Yang Zhao returned.
"how many?"
"One million seven hundred thousand taels of gold, forty million taels of silver, jade jewels, and fifteen carts."
"Okay." King Xuan's mood finally fluctuated. Her beautiful eyes were really beautiful, bright and moving, and her eyelashes were long and thick.
He said softly: "Put it all into the national treasury. In such a time of great strife, Xuan Guo needs this money. With it, the army can be strengthened and powerful enemies can retreat."
