The princess is killing like crazy again

"Of course, only by thinking more and acting thoroughly can one be called careful." Xiao Yusheng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of fully armed private soldiers quietly surrounded the ministers kneeling outside and also surrounded the Yangxin Palace.

The ministers were panic-stricken by such a huge change.

Some officials were frightened and ran around in panic, and were killed instantly by the sword.

Xiao Yusheng said: "Please wait here for a while, everyone."

Yi Yan drew out his four-sided mace and blocked Xiao Yurong. "Hey, hey, hey, I didn't tell you there was a coup before I came here."

Xiao Yurong pushed Yi Yan away and took a step forward, "Third brother!"

"Be careful?" Xiao Yuxie sneered, "Is this what you mean by being careful?"

"Brother..." Xiao Yusheng shouted and closed his eyes, "You and I have been fighting these days. Everyone in the harem and the court knows about it."

He asked: "If I let you succeed to the throne, will you still let me live? Will my students and former officials, my mother and family still have a way to live?"

Xiao Yuxie looked at Xiao Yucheng who was standing aside and crying silently, and asked: "What about you? Do you think so too?"

Xiao Yucheng would remain silent.

"Ha! Hahahahahahaha... OK, very good." Xiao Yuxie laughed out loud.

"Third brother..." Xiao Yurong looked at the scene in front of him.

She couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if she was the only one in the most pain among all the people present.

The person she loves is hurting the person she loves.

It shouldn’t be like this. It wasn’t like this in the previous life.

The brothers were clearly friendly and respectful to each other, and their affection for each other seemed as deep as it was yesterday. They were clearly blood relatives and should have been of the same blood.

Why do brothers have to kill each other and fight against each other?

Xiao Yusheng's eyes fell on her and he smiled, the same smile as yesterday.

"Things have come to this point, and I have no illusions." Xiao Yusheng lowered his eyes, "If the prince does not resist, everyone will be safe."

"What if I don't agree?" Xiao Yuxie stared at Xiao Yusheng and asked.

Xiao Yusheng sighed as the private soldiers behind him approached with knives, "Then I can only do something like killing my brothers."

"Stop them." Xiao Yurong said.

Yu Shu led the Fuyang Guards guarding the palace, like a divine general, and fought with Xiao Yusheng's private soldiers.

Wang Fuxuan's wheelchair was in the corner, he lowered his head and played with a hidden weapon, a curved knife that looked like a swallow's feather. The sharp blade moved very quickly between his slender fingertips, and the light and shadow were intertwined.

It was a chaotic time and no one paid attention to his little world.

Should I make a move? Would it be profitable to make a move at this time? He thought about it and looked up.

Wang Fuxuan just caught a glimpse of Xiao Yurong's fleeting tears, and his fingertips suddenly felt a pain.

He lowered his head and the blade cut his fingers.

This was a mistake he would have made as a beginner.

"Sister, the soldiers of the Huo family have been stopped outside the city by the Hussar Battalion. At least today, they cannot come in to help." Xiao Yusheng was helpless. "You can make preparations early, but can't Third Brother do the same?"

Xiao Yurong frowned slightly, "You and I are brother and sister, why did it come to this?"

Xiao Yusheng still kept smiling, "Yes, you are my biological sister no matter what. Why don't you want to stand by me? No matter which brother becomes the emperor, you are the empress."

Xiao Yurong closed his eyes and said, "But I can't ask you to really kill my brother."

"Rongrong." A hand was placed on Xiao Yurong's shoulder.

Xiao Yurong turned her face slightly, and Xiao Yuxie stood behind her.

Xiao Yuxie said: "I have said it long ago. Only you and I, who are connected by blood and have the same blood, are the closest relatives."

"I shouldn't have believed in kinship," he said coldly.

A third fully armed and well-trained team appeared silently around and joined the battle.

"Brothers and sisters, don't I know how to station troops and make preparations in advance?" Xiao Yuxie asked.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly turned around.

"Wow." Yi Yan exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Yusheng lowered his head and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Big Brother is worthy of being the crown prince appointed since childhood. He is prepared for a rainy day. I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as him."

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I should admit defeat." Xiao Yusheng did not put up any extra resistance and stood still.

All of his private soldiers were suppressed or killed, while some surrendered voluntarily.

Xiao Yuxie looked at him coldly, "Put all these people in jail."

The Fuyang guards stepped forward and took Xiao Yusheng away. Xiao Yusheng did not struggle.

It seemed as if all his struggles and actions were just to comply with everyone's ideas and compete. He himself had no desire to compete, nor did he care about winning or losing, life or death.

Xiao Yurong watched Xiao Yusheng being escorted past him.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Her attention was diverted by Xiao Yuxie.

Not only Xiao Yusheng, but also everyone in Xiao Yusheng's party was taken there.

Xiao Yuxie said to the eunuch, "The traitor has been executed, why haven't you read out the imperial edict yet?"

"Ah? Ah! Yes, yes, yes!" The eunuch came back to his senses from the sudden change and hurriedly walked out with the imperial edict in his hand.

Facing the ministers who were already like frightened birds, the eunuch read out the imperial edict.

As expected, Xiao Yuxie is still the emperor chosen by Emperor Xiao.

Emperor Xiao suppressed and tempered him, pushing him forward to this point, but still designated him as the successor.

Chu Le needs a monarch who is ruthless enough to carry out drastic reforms, and now that the knife has been sharpened, it is finally time to go into battle.

Yi Yan stood behind Xiao Yurong and looked at Xiao Yuxie's back. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the scene of the MVP winner of the Five Sons' Battle for Succession."

The king added that the situation was set.

"Rongrong, the world is very unpredictable tonight, and I'm sorry to have frightened you." Xiao Yuxie turned around and looked at the dazed Xiao Yurong.

He has been a prince since birth, and until this moment, he has risen from a minister to a king, aiming for the pinnacle of power.

He stopped and looked back at Xiao Yurong, the one he was worried about, the one he was concerned about, the one he... loved.

Li Yaozhi was imprisoned, Wang Fuxuan's position was unclear, Cui Ci Ning held the military power, and Liu Pinjue was supported by all the ministers.

The situation is still unclear, there is chaos internally and the north is eyeing the throne covetously. It is hard to tell whether it is a joy or a sorrow to ascend the throne at this time.

Everyone is crazy about that cold chair, but they don't know that the position at that moment is like being fried in hot oil and in dire straits.

I really walked up, alone and lonely, with a sigh of worry. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The eighteen states, three hundred cities, and tens of millions of people of Chu Le all rest on the shoulders of one man.

"Brother..." Xiao Yurong shouted.

Xiao Yuxie came back to his senses after a moment of trance. He smiled at Xiao Yurong and walked into the night.

Xiao Yurong inexplicably felt that the figure was lonely and helpless.

"Even if Chu Le's ship is too heavy and large to turn around, I will still try for you." Xiao Yuxie said softly.

No thoughts can disturb his mind, and no strength can take away his will.

Everything is ready, all that is left is for the Ministry of Rites to prepare the ceremony and for Xiao Yuxie to ascend the throne.

After investigation by the Ministry of Justice, it was found that the accusations against Li Yaozhi of regicide and tampering with the imperial edict were all groundless, so Li Yaozhi was released soon after being imprisoned for only a few days.

However, considering the fact that his yellow belt was broken, the palace coup was suppressed, and that it was Xiao Yuxie who succeeded to the throne, no one believed that Li Yaozhi was truly innocent.

The Li family is a noble family with strict family traditions. The prime minister has been worried about the rumors that are rampant in the capital and his beard has turned white.

Li Yaozhi accepted this well, and was calm and composed with a proper smile on his face every day.

This almost pissed off the prime minister, and he began to doubt his own way of education. Is it really okay for the whole family to turn a gifted child into a golden or jade statue?

As the rumors spread, the prime minister himself began to doubt whether Li Yaozhi had really committed regicide.

After all, he has come to a profound realization in recent days that although Li Yaozhi looks like a self-disciplined and polite gentleman, he is actually the most rebellious and unscrupulous person.

The prime minister thought for a long time and finally stepped into Li Yaozhi's yard.

Before entering Li Yaozhi's study, the prime minister hesitated for a moment.

He was afraid that when he went in he would see something that would make his heart ache, such as Xiao Yurong's calligraphy or painting on Li Yaozhi's desk.

It's ok.

The prime minister began to persuade himself.

Because Xiao Yurong studied under Liu Pinjue and was influenced by his father and brother, he had his own views on calligraphy and painting. His calligraphy and painting were also well-known and priceless.

The princess is endowed with a virtuous spirit by the emperor, and is taught by the emperor. She is as bright as the moonlight shining on the jade forest, and as brilliant as the morning glow reflecting on the pearl pond.

The prime minister knocked on the door twice, and a gentle voice came from inside.

"Enter."

When the prime minister entered the room, Li Yaozhi saw that it was the prime minister and stood up to greet him politely, "Father, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person."

The Prime Minister subconsciously glanced at Li Yaozhi's desk. This time, what was placed on the table was not Xiao Yurong's calligraphy or painting, but Li Yaozhi's own painting of Xiao Yurong.

Li Yaozhi was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this painting looked extremely like Xiao Yurong himself.

The girl's hair is tied in two small buns with green hair hanging down from their chin, and she looks weak and delicate as willows and flowers.

Who else could this person be other than the young Xiao Yurong?

Prime Minister: ...

It would be better to put Xiao Yurong's calligraphy and paintings.

The paintings are all about Xiao Yurong when he was young, and the Prime Minister doesn't know what Li Yaozhi is thinking.

Looking at the several paintings placed next to it, they are all Xiao Yurong from different periods.

Okay, the Prime Minister knows now.

"What's the important matter, father?" Li Yaozhi asked.

The Prime Minister hesitated, "There have been some rumors in the capital recently, and I am a little worried about you."

Li Yaozhi paused, "Father, are you talking about the rumors that I killed the king?"

"Yes, don't worry. These are completely untrue and absurd. I will send people to investigate the source of the rumors and clear your name and that of our Li family." The prime minister nodded. "As the future heir of the family, you must not let this ..."

Li Yaozhi smiled: "That's not a rumor."

The Prime Minister was stunned. "What?"

"That's not a rumor, father." Li Yaozhi still smiled, "That's the truth."

Like a bolt from the blue, the prime minister was struck by these five thunders, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

He couldn't believe his ears. "What did you say?"

"I did kill the king." Li Yaozhi repeated kindly.

The prime minister staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.

Li Yaozhi filially poured a cup of tea and handed it to the prime minister, "Father, drink some tea to calm your nerves."

"You..." The Prime Minister pointed at Li Yaozhi and was speechless for a moment.

"This is because His Majesty is afraid and the emperor is suspicious." Li Yaozhi said calmly, "Leave a huge handle, and when the water is deep and the fire is hot, then you can use me better, use the knife of the Li family."

The prime minister has been in the officialdom for many years. Since he can sit in this position, in addition to the powerful family behind him, he also has his own abilities and political acumen.

Li Yaozhi's words made him immediately understand the intentions of Emperor Xiao and Li Yaozhi.

"Then you don't have to take such a risk. You actually..." When this matter became a fact, the Prime Minister couldn't even utter these two words, "Do you know that if this handle is left in the hands of others, if they make a mistake, you and the entire Li family will be doomed!"

"Yes." Li Yaozhi smiled gently.

He looked at the Prime Minister and said coldly: "But what about it?"

The prime minister simply couldn't believe that such words would come out of the mouth of his son who had always been obedient and sensible.

"You rebellious son! Do you still have your father and family in your eyes?" the prime minister asked angrily.

"Of course I do." Li Yaozhi said, "Over the years, the elders in my family have taught me, and my father and mother have taught me. I can remember them all clearly. Yaozhi dare not forget them."

The longevity of a clan is due to the fact that its children put the interests of the family first. A family with hereditary nobility values ​​both wealth and power, and is a famous family with generations of nobility.

When it comes to reproduction, two types of people are generally likely to appear: one is a dandy young man who carries bird cages, fights cocks and runs dogs; the other is a top talent who is both civil and military.

The former is nothing more than a waste of a few grains of rice, but the latter can often support the family and change the times.

Li Yaozhi is the latter. He is the most outstanding child in the family in the past hundred years.

The pressure, hope and responsibility are all on him.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone would tell him again and again in his ear: Protect the family and give it all your loyalty. Lead the family and give it all your wisdom. Maintain the family and give it all your love.

To continue the family's glory is your innate mission. You must do everything for it until it can continue even if you are lost.

Li Yaozhi knew very well that this was the price he had to pay.

He was well-dressed, well-fed, rich, and well-off. All the resources of the family were poured into him.

Eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to him.

Not only him, but all the children from noble families are like this.

Cui Ci Ning, Wang Fuxuan, Huo Zhao, Liu Pinjue... are all like this.

Like Xie Deshu, even if you become an outcast of the family, you cannot abandon the family.

Since he enjoyed the protection of his family, he could not abandon it just because it was old and corrupt.

Li Yaozhi knew all these.

"Father, you can rest assured. I will not abandon my family. It is still important to me." The smile on Li Yaozhi's face was still gentle.

The prime minister looked at this perfect child and felt frightened again.

His child, the child of the Li family, a madman who killed the king.

He should not have asked Li Yaozhi to be Xiao Yurong's study partner in the first place, he should have refused it at all costs.

Look! Now, a good and gentle child has become crazy after being with Xiao Yurong!
