Dark room.
In addition to a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, there is a portrait hanging on the wall in the middle. The person in the portrait is dressed in bright yellow.
Various offerings are placed in front of the portrait.
Guo Shihuai burned incense and worshipped with a pious and respectful look.
Nangong Jiu was very confused.
strangeness!
Who is the person in the portrait? Why does he worship secretly?
At this time, Guo Shihuai spoke.
"Ancestor, your descendants now have the opportunity to avenge you, and the Liu clan's kingdom will soon return to our Zhao clan's hands.
If you are in heaven, please bless us and make our wishes come true.
When we accomplish our mission, our descendants will rebuild the imperial mausoleum for you, so that you can rest in peace!"
Nangong Jiu took Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing out of the dark room.
Not long after, Guo Shihuai also came out of the dark room. After checking that there was nothing unusual around him, he left the study and returned to the side room.
After Nangong Jiu and the other two left the Zhenguo Mansion, Xiao Wang asked, "Your Majesty, what was in that old man's letter that made you so angry?"
"In addition to talking about their personnel arrangements, he also asked his son to send people to sneak into Xiyue, hoping to wait until we go to Xiyue at the beginning of the new year to attack Dad.
If they say that, they can get rid of Daddy without anyone noticing, and even if Grandfather tries to figure it out, he won't think it was them who did it."
Nangong Jiu gritted his teeth and took out the paper bird as he spoke.
"Grandfather, we have made a major discovery. Please wait in Kunning Palace for a moment. We will be back soon."
After releasing the paper bird, Nangong Jiu and Xiao Wang Xiaoxing disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".
Kunning Palace.
We chatted for a while.
Emperor Dongling looked at the hourglass, then looked at Xiaokang and Xiaole who were sleeping soundly.
"The children are all asleep. Hao'er and Xue'er will stay in the palace tonight. It's not good for the children to go out at night.
It's late at night, so Xuan'er should go back and rest early."
Liu Hao nodded in agreement.
Emperor Dongling and Liu Xuan stood up and just as they reached the gate of Kunning Palace, Nangong Jiu's paper bird flew in front of them and stopped.
"There's news about Jiuer!"
Emperor Dongling hurriedly turned around and sat down.
After listening to Nangong Jiufa’s message, he said to everyone, “Since Jiuer asked us to wait and said there was a major discovery, it must be something extraordinary.
Let's wait and see. Xuan'er doesn't have to go back home, he can just stay in the palace."
Not long after, Nangong Jiu and the other two appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"We're back!"
Emperor Dongling extended his hand towards Nangong Jiu: "Come, tell Grandfather what you have discovered?"
Nangong Jiu waved his hand, and the magic mirror appeared in front of everyone. Little Wang and Xiaoxing stood behind Nangong Jiu to provide spiritual support.
"Just watch it, and you'll know."
The magic mirror recreates the scene when Guo Shihuai and his family return to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, their complacent conversation after entering the study, then the content of Guo Shihuai's letter, the portrait in the dark room, and so on.
Emperor Dongling was very angry after reading it.
“How dare they?!
They hid their identities and managed to hide it from everyone. It was thanks to his father that he trusted Guo Shihuai so much and gave him a hereditary title and the power of 200,000 troops.
All of this ended up becoming a threat, and became a weapon for them to use against us."
Liu Hao and his brother were unfamiliar with the portrait: "Father, who is the person in the portrait? What is his relationship with Guo Shihuai?"
"Didn't you hear what he said? He is a descendant of the Zhao family, a remnant of the previous dynasty! The person in the portrait is the last emperor of the previous dynasty, Zhao Chenhui."
"It's him? I see!
In this way, the risky actions that Guo Shihuai and his family took tonight are justifiable."
Emperor Dong Ling gritted his teeth and said, “Just based on the things in his secret room, it is enough to wipe out all nine of their clans.
The long-term plan we discussed earlier is no longer necessary and will only lead to more trouble.
As for the 200,000 troops in Guo Feng's hands, let the secret guards control them first."
Brothers Liu Hao and Liu Xuan frowned in thought.
"A quick resolution to this matter is indeed the best approach!"
Emperor Dongling shouted to the sky, "Come here, tell Nangong Honglie and his son, and Wang Peng and his son, to come into the palace immediately."
Someone responded secretly.
Emperor Dong Ling looked at his two sons again and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Study to discuss countermeasures!"
Imperial study.
Nangong Honglie and his son, and Wang Peng and his son hurried to the imperial study.
When he saw Emperor Dongling, his father and his son, all sitting in the imperial study with serious expressions, he knew that something big was going to happen.
Several people hurried forward to salute.
"emperor!"
"Well, take a seat. I called you here at night because I have something important to discuss with you.
Guo Yiran, the daughter of Duke Zhenguo Guo Shihuai, took advantage of the opportunity of a toast to put a love poison in Xuan'er, but was discovered in time by Jiuer.
Jiuer followed them to their house and discovered that they had ambitions to usurp the throne. In the dark room of Guo Shihuai's study, there was a portrait of Zhao Chenhui, the last emperor of the previous dynasty..."
Emperor Dongling briefly explained the situation.
Nangong Honglie and Wang Peng exchanged a glance: "Your Majesty is worried about the 200,000 soldiers under Guo Feng's command, right?"
"Yes! After all, they are my Dongling soldiers. I want to capture Guo Feng first, just like I captured Xue Huaian. What do you think about the feasibility?"
Nangong Honglie shook his head: "Your Majesty, those 200,000 soldiers are different from the original Imperial Guards.
We are so far away and we know nothing about their situation. It might not be wise to act rashly."
Liu Hao took over the conversation: "This is exactly why Father asked us to discuss this.
The current situation is that people are worried about the long wait and the potential for more trouble, but they are also afraid that acting rashly will backfire."
Nangong Yunsheng, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Actually, there is a simplest way to deal with this."
