The Regent secretly read the diary, and I went from being a cannon fodder to being the group's

Xie Jingchuan was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty will let me go back?"

He was recalled to Kyoto in the first place because they were wary of the military power in his hands and were even more afraid that he would rebel one day. But they didn't expect that as soon as Xie Mingxu ascended the throne, he would let him go back?

For a moment, Xie Jingchuan couldn't even see what Xie Mingxu was really thinking.

Xie Mingxu saw Xie Jingchuan's doubts and explained, "Uncle, I know that my father summoned you back to the capital because he was afraid of the military power in your hands. But now that I have ascended the throne, I naturally don't have the same thoughts as my father. This country still needs your help."

These words are half true and half false.

Xie Jingchuan said nothing.

Xie Mingxu continued, "Right now, the border of Southern Xinjiang is not stable. Besides, I believe in the character of my uncle and he will not rebel. Just like during this period, when my father called you back to Kyoto, you had a million ways to leave, but you didn't. Uncle, your nephew truly believes in you!"

Xie Jingchuan was so shocked by Xie Mingxu's words that he was speechless. In his impression, Xie Mingxu was narrow-minded and had no scheming at all.

Can you say this now?

Xie Jingchuan said: "There are conditions!"

Xie Mingxu smiled. It turned out that talking to smart people was easy.

"You can't go back to Kyoto in this life!"

In fact, no one can guarantee that Xie Jingchuan will not rebel, even now, but what about in the future?

Therefore, not returning to Beijing is the best way out for Xie Mingxu.

As long as Xie Jingchuan guards the southern border well, foreign enemies will naturally not dare to invade.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Never return to Kyoto?" Xie Jingchuan chuckled, "Your Majesty is quite frank!"

This clearly means imprisoning him in southern Xinjiang.

It can also squeeze out the last bit of value.

Hearing the sarcasm in Xie Jingchuan's words, Xie Mingxu felt a little aggrieved, "Uncle, I am also thinking about you. Haven't you always wanted to go back to Southern Xinjiang? Now that I have given you this opportunity, why are you blaming me instead?"

Xie Jingchuan said nothing.

Seeing Xie Jingchuan being so stubborn, Xie Mingxu became anxious.

I was thinking whether I should take a step back. Even if Xie Jingchuan came back, it wouldn't be a big deal.

I've already figured out how to start.

But Xie Jingchuan, who had been silent for a while, smiled and said, "In that case, then I will respectfully obey your command?"

"Uncle Emperor...have you made up your mind?"

Xie Mingxu was afraid that Xie Jingchuan was setting him up.

If I put myself in their shoes, I would never agree to it.

"Uncle Emperor....Does he have any conditions?"

He didn't believe that Xie Jingchuan would do this losing business.

Xie Jingchuan looked at him seriously. "Guancheng in Southern Xinjiang is my fiefdom. There is nothing wrong with returning to my own fiefdom. I do not covet other places in the Dawu Dynasty. I want Guancheng, and I will establish myself as a king in Guancheng. I will not be under the jurisdiction of the Dawu Dynasty. At the same time, I can also guarantee that as long as I am in Guancheng, Southern Xinjiang will never invade!"

"Declare yourself king?" Xie Mingxu's pupils were shocked, "Uncle, what you said is..."

If he declares himself king, doesn't that mean he really has the intention of rebelling?

Xie Jingchuan did not hide it at all, "Your Majesty, you asked me to return to Southern Xinjiang, didn't you also want me to guard the border for you? Why? You can't even accept this exchange condition?"

Xie Jingchuan clearly wanted benefits.

However, this benefit posed too great a threat to Xie Mingxu.

"Can the emperor's uncle guarantee that he will never have the intention of rebelling in the future?" Xie Mingxu asked back.

Xie Jingchuan smiled lightly, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, we can make a promise today. As long as the Dawu Dynasty doesn't attack Wancheng, I will never rebel in my life!"

These words are both a promise and a warning.

If one day you violate the agreement, I don't have to abide by it.

Xie Mingxu was undecided for a moment, and after struggling for a while, he slowly spoke, "This... I need to give me some time to think about it."

He really couldn't make up his mind about this.

I also have to ask my grandfather's opinion.

Xie Jingchuan saw through it at a glance, but did not expose it, "Then I will wait for good news!"

He knew that Xie Mingxu was acting out of character today and there must be someone behind him.

But he couldn't care less.

This dynasty is no longer what I remember. As long as I can return to Wancheng, it doesn’t matter if there are other additional conditions!

-

After returning to the palace, Xie Jingchuan told Shen Wanwan everything that happened in the palace.

Shen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Are we ready for war?

Xie Jingchuan sat up and continued, "I grew up with Aunt Zhou. I always knew she wasn't my mother, but she always treated me well and was very polite to me, but she didn't really take care of me like a biological son. I know this is already good enough!"

Shen Wanwan also sat up and listened to him quietly.

Although he didn't understand why Xie Jingchuan suddenly wanted to talk about his past, he didn't interrupt him and just listened obediently.

"So, actually, I was a little paranoid before. In my memory, my father always treated me well, and I wanted to be close to him. But after that, my father only had eyes for my brother. He personally taught my brother the six arts and took him out to play. I... could only watch from the side."

Hearing this, Shen Wanwan felt a little distressed at that moment.

His hands involuntarily climbed up Xie Jingchuan's back and slowly began to pat him.

"I was very jealous at that time. There was a time when I even thought, if I killed my brother, would my father like me more?"

Shen Wanwan could feel that Xie Jingchuan's tone had changed a little after hearing these words.

His eyes were full of coldness, making people afraid and want to escape.

System: [Oh my god! How can the male protagonist be so paranoid? I didn't see that at all? This shouldn't be the character setting of a male protagonist! ]

Shen Wanwan didn't say anything, but just asked faintly, "Then what?"

Xie Jingchuan naturally didn't do that, otherwise how could the dog emperor sit on the throne?

"Then?" Xie Jingchuan tilted his head and looked at Shen Wanwan, "Then I thought the people were innocent, so I kept on tolerating them. Until the day when I no longer cared about anyone!"

If he had not exercised self-control since childhood, many lives would have been lost on his hands by now.

"Don't care?" Shen Wanwan repeated in a low voice, and naturally understood what Xie Jingchuan meant by this.

Xie Jingchuan naturally heard it, but did not answer, "I know Wanwan is not from this world, and I also know that I don't know when Wanwan will leave, just like when she came. I... should not have any illusions..."

Without waiting for Xie Jingchuan to finish his words.

Shen Wanwan blocked his mouth with all her strength.

Xie Jingchuan's pupils dilated instantly and he forgot to push it away.

Xie Jingchuan didn't react when he felt the wetness leaving his lips.

Shen Wanwan stroked his temples, "We are both children who lack love. I won't leave. I will stay with you!"

After saying that, she hugged Xie Jingchuan with both hands. At that moment, she herself did not realize that going back was not her first priority.

"You are so paranoid, but it's good for me!" She said, her eyes fixed on Xie Jingchuan.

The candlelight flickered on the windowsill until dawn.
