Li Yue broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, but he could only pretend that he didn't hear it.
After all, the more you listen and talk about such royal matters, the faster you may die.
Moreover, when he looked at the Sixth Prince, he felt that there seemed to be something extra on him.
What was it? The aura of an emperor? Or something else? No, Li Yue couldn't discern that kind of thing.
Instead, he saw a trace of calmness from Zhao Que, an incomparable calmness.
He had never seen such a calm demeanor even from Emperor Dagan.
Seeing Zhao Que like this, Li Yue was silent for a moment.
It seemed as if he had waited until Zhao Que had finished speaking before he slowly spoke.
“Your Highness, His Majesty has sent other officials to deal with the corruption among the officials in Shu.
His Majesty is very satisfied with your highness's current performance. I am afraid that when you return to Beijing, His Majesty will reward you.
If Your Highness is alright in Shu, I will escort Your Highness back to the capital."
"That's great." Zhao Que didn't refuse, "Then I'll trouble Commander Li.
Your Highness, there is nothing to pack here and you can leave at any time."
"Your Highness, do you not need to say goodbye to the Huo family?" Li Yue was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
You must know that no matter what, the Huo family is the Sixth Prince's maternal family.
In the past, we had to resist the demon tribe and could not provide much help to Zhao Que.
Now that the demon tribe is gone, aren’t they really ready to help?
Even if I don't help, don't I need to follow this etiquette?
"It's not as simple as you think. This time, because I was captured, those traitors got their chance.
If it weren’t for the help of the immortal, I wouldn’t have seen the general manager’s plan.
I'm afraid the outcome is unknown. If something like this happens, which may lead to a crisis in Shu, the Huo family's attitude towards me will not be very good.
Perhaps for them, the strong are respected.
You know, since I came to Shuzhong, I haven't even stepped foot inside the Huo family."
Zhao Que felt a little melancholy when he said this.
After hearing this, Li Yue didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Because what Zhao Que said made some sense. Everyone knew that the Huo family had been fighting against the demon clan for tens of thousands of years, and the hatred between the two clans was very deep.
Although Zhao Que is a member of their family, he cannot be considered a direct descendant.
Since he has no cultivation and was captured by the demon clan, it is possible that the Huo family treats him coldly and looks down on him.
Thinking of this, Li Yue asked curiously: "What about the chief steward? Is he dead? For someone who tarnishes the glory of the royal family.
Your Majesty has told me to see him alive or dead. Please, Your Highness, give me an answer."
Zhao Que sighed and said, "It's gone. It was turned into dust by the Huo family's ancestor at that time."
After getting the same answer, Li Yue quickly arranged people to send Zhao Que to the capital.
Zhao Que left Bai Qi here, and only here.
Being able to keep those elite Qin soldiers alive is also one of his trump cards.
If the dragon vein breaks through, any accident will happen, or other forces may have some special trump cards.
Then Bai Qi can provide himself with a safety net.
As for Zhang Liao, he also prepared to enter the capital with "The Art of War" and the Guardian Cavalry.
However, even such an elite army needs logistics to leave Shuzhong.
There was no emergency during the journey, so the speed was naturally slow, and they were naturally a few minutes later than Zhao Que.
As for the Huo family, Zhao Que did not reveal too much of their power.
When destroying the demon clan, let Wuming take action to make the ancestor of the Huo family agree to cooperate.
He also revealed the demon clan's trump card, which made the Huo family agree to the current plan.
As for Emperor Dagan, the Huo family naturally doesn’t care what Zhao Que wants.
In their opinion, they have such a strong person.
No matter what his relationship with Zhao Que was, it would not be difficult for Zhao Que to ascend the throne.
Of course, the Huo family didn't know that as the Dagan Dragon Vein began to break through.
All the evil spirits in the world came out.
Now in the capital, there is a lot of work going on, and it is very lively.
As soon as Zhao Que arrived in the capital, many officials came to him with gifts.
Most of these officials were former subordinates of the eldest prince.
Among them, a small number of people took refuge with the Eighth Prince, hoping to get protection and help from him.
After all, the eldest prince failed and rebelled, which was really too scary.
The other officials did not have much to do because they were originally on the side of the eldest prince.
Fighting with the Eighth Prince has already offended him.
Of course, offending the Eighth Prince is not a big deal.
Because if you go to seek refuge with him, the Eighth Prince will definitely agree. Before, you just served different masters.
As a prince who climbed up from the bottom of society, the Eighth Prince still has some tolerance.
However, the Eighth Prince has officials under his command, and these officials may not agree.
The conflicts between these officials and the officials from the original eldest prince's faction were more serious than the frictions between the eldest prince and the eighth prince.
Moreover, many of them are irreconcilable conflicts of interest. After all, any hatred in the world can be settled, but this conflict of interest is unlikely to be settled.
The world is only so big. If you eat more, then I have to eat less.
Everyone wants to eat more, and no one wants to give up the profits they have worked so hard to gain.
These people will not give up their own interests when there is still a choice.
The appearance of the Sixth Prince Zhao Que was such a choice, giving them hope.
Besides, although His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince has no cultivation, he is also famous for his virtuous character.
Lack of cultivation may be considered a shortcoming in the eyes of the royal family.
But in the eyes of these court officials, it was not a shortcoming.
If you are kind and reasonable, that would be even better.
After all, there is the current Emperor of Dagan who only cares about the balance of the Dagan court, and the former emperor who was originally cruel.
But they are not reasonable people. As long as they want to kill someone, they can find a special reason.
On the contrary, he looks less pleasing than the Sixth Prince.
Of course, these officials' actions were tacitly approved by the Emperor.
During the morning court session after coming out of seclusion, Emperor Dagan praised Zhao Que highly and transferred him back to the court.
To some smart officials, it goes without saying what this means.
That is, the Sixth Prince can also join the fight for the throne. The Sixth Prince now seems to have little power, and most people want to become the Sixth Prince's original shareholders.
Naturally, the place was packed with people.
Emperor Da Gan said this because he made a reasonable judgment about the current situation in the court.
He had to suppress his evil nature and find a way to eliminate it, so he couldn't spend too much time on state affairs.
With Zhao Que's current power, in the eyes of Emperor Dagan.
Without the support of Emperor Da Gan, it would be impossible to compete with the Eighth Prince.
It is impossible for the emperor to accept a single dominant company.
This is why it was tacitly agreed that officials from the former eldest prince's faction would be allowed to contact and join Zhao Que.
However, although the incident seemed serious, it did not have much impact on people's lives.
The eldest prince's rebellion only affected the palace.
