In the imperial city!
In order to obtain the military power held by his family, Nanyang Marquis Fan found the generals of the family and paid an extremely high price. In particular, he took away a lot of the family's territories and promised dividends from salt and iron, and only then did he get the military command from that group of people!
It was eventually handed over to Lin Tianlong, who was very satisfied with his actions and highly praised his execution! He then told him that he would go and persuade the emperor, and told him to wait for the result!
Nanyang Fan Hou showed an uncomfortable look. He had really paid too much to obtain the military token this time! But after thinking carefully, he realized that the military power was actually useless! He was not rebelling! It would be better to hand it over in exchange for a hundred years of prosperity for the family!
As for those who disagree with my actions, just wait and see! Later, they will understand how great my decision is! After Nanyang Fan Hou left the hall.
Lin Tianlong's serious expression finally broke. He hadn't expected it to be so easy to take back the military power! He was grinning from ear to ear in the hall! He slapped his thigh repeatedly! He also kept praising Xu Xiaoyi for being a genius.
Xu Cangguo, who had witnessed the scene below, was scratching his head, thinking about what Xu Xiaoyi had written in the letter. Was the next step to end the prosperity of the aristocratic family forever? That vicious plot!
Lin Shengwan, who had just been released from confinement, was standing beside Lin Tianlong, with a worried look on her face, as if she was about to say something to the emperor?
"Old Xu, Wan'er! I originally wanted to make the aristocratic families bleed in exchange for the stability of Da Gan, but I was afraid that it would leave a handle and let the history books record my scandal, saying that I killed the core of Da Gan for power! How ugly would that sound! I also thought about disintegrating them from within the aristocratic families! But I always couldn't find a good way.
And now, you see, thanks to Wan'er's scheme to get Xu Xiaoyi to produce the entire letter, I can now do so without damaging my reputation. When I take back the military power, I can shift the conflict onto the retired emperor. Those noble families will surely think it was the retired emperor who set me up!"
After hearing this, Xu Cangguo nodded repeatedly. He did not refute. Xu Xiaoyi's conspiracy was really terrible, especially the way he secretly sent people to fan the flames and create disputes among the aristocratic families. He used the conflict between the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue to escalate it into a conflict among the aristocratic families. In the final analysis, everything was about controlling people's hearts!
"Wan'er, your husband who hides his talent is really amazing!" Lin Tianlong praised with a smile:
After hearing this, Lin Shengwan's face became even more worried. She couldn't understand her feelings for Xu Xiaoyi at all. She just felt that every minute that Su Yanyue stayed with Xu Xiaoyi made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Then she said to Lin Tianlong:
"Father, I want to find Xu Xiaoyi again!"
"No! How could you, a princess, do such a thing? If you were discovered, how would the world view you as a princess? I think the confinement I gave you wasn't enough, was it?"
"Father, there are reasons for everything. I have to do some things myself!" Lin Shengwan said firmly, without any thought of giving in! When Lin Tianlong saw her attitude, his happy face drooped instantly.
"You really don't even listen to me now! I know you have a good relationship with Xu Xiaoyi now, and I will definitely let him return to the palace later! Why are you so anxious?"
After hearing Lin Tianlong's words, Lin Shengwan blushed immediately. Who has feelings for that bitch? My father actually thinks of me like this!
Lin Shengwan didn't dare tell the truth about Su Yanyue, who was beside Xu Xiaoyi. She learned about Su Yanyue's past. As a woman, she sympathized with Su Yanyue's experience, but because of her status, if she told the truth in front of her father, he would definitely order her to be arrested and held hostage!
"Your Majesty, please let the princess go! The princess is Xu Xiaoyi's wife after all, and it's not like they haven't been married before. What's more, Your Majesty and the Queen..." Xu Cangguo looked at Lin Tianlong's behavior and instantly became unhappy! You don't want me to hold my grandson, right? So he said:
"Stop! Shut up, Old Xu! If you say another word, I'll pull your tongue out!"
Lin Tianlong was instantly furious at Xu Cangguo's words! How could such a thing be said in front of a child? How shameless!
He considered it carefully and finally agreed!
"I'll give you one last chance. I'll send someone to protect you! I'll take care of everything!"
...........
At this time, Xu Xiaoyi in Xiqing County was cheering for the man who had challenged him last time. He showed a twisted and disdainful face and whispered in his ear:
"Hey, brat! Weren't you brave enough to challenge me to a duel? Why aren't you working with the same determination you showed back then? Work faster, you idiot!"
Veins bulged on the man's forehead, his face flushed red as he furiously swung his pickaxe, digging for coal. The pickaxe even left afterimages. He dared not speak or resist, only to hold back his anger. He thought that as long as he kept silent and didn't resist, Xu Xiaoyi would let him go!
"Hey, hey, hey~ If you're unhappy with me, just say it! Are you holding back because you're planning on feeding me shit later?"
[Hirehand's shock reward*5]
Even if he doesn't say anything, he won't let me go? It seems that only if I admit my mistakes will this demon let me go.
"No... little people... don't dare... (whispering)"
"Hey, hey, hey! Your f*cking vocal cords are at home! I can't hear you at all! Are you provoking me?"
The people around saw Xu Xiaoyi constantly making things difficult for that person, and his appearance was too terrifying. They felt a little sympathy in their hearts! At the same time, they were also glad that they did not follow that person to resist, otherwise they would have been frightened like this!
"Sir, please calm down! Stop scolding him!" Su Yanyue stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xiaoyi.
The man being scolded by Xu Xiaoyi saw the petite and adorable girl step forward to stop Xu Xiaoyi, and immediately saw hope! At the same time, he prayed in his heart: Yes! That's right! Take this demon away quickly! I really can't stand it!
"Sir, please drink a glass of water before you continue to scold me! Otherwise, my throat will be dry! I will feel bad!" Su Yanyue came to Xu Xiaoyi with a glass of water, and looked at Xu Xiaoyi with sweet eyes.
"Oh! Xiaoyue, you are so considerate! Then I'll drink some water first! After I finish, I'll scold him for two hours!"
"Yeah! Sir, you are so awesome!" Su Yanyue smiled and clapped her hands!
The man stood there in a daze, his pickaxe suspended in mid-air. He looked at the two men before him and suddenly felt as if the world had turned upside down! "He's cursing over a glass of water! Shouldn't you have stopped him? Are there any normal people in this county?!"
Am I also a part of your play?
