The princess is killing like crazy again

Rongchang was the reign title after Liu Pinjue**. When Yi Yan told Xiao Yurong about this reign title, he asked meaningfully whether this "Rong" was the same as that "Rong".

Xiao Yurong also laughed at Yi Yan for reading too many picture books and said that this was absolutely impossible.

But this is something from the previous life after all. Liu Pinjue is not alive now, and Rongchang is not an era name that appeared in the long river of history.

But surprisingly, Liu Pinjue understood what Xiao Yurong meant.

"Can't I have both the country and the beauty?" Liu Pinjue raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Yurong sneered, as if he was mocking Liu Pinjue's greed.

After being glanced at by Liu Pinjue, Xiao Yurong still had some insignificant respect for his teacher.

She said, "Where in the world can one achieve both?"

Liu Pinjue made a move, "What about your elder brother? He became Xiao Zhaoxi, wasn't it for you?"

Xiao Yuxie**, the reign title was Zhaoxi.

This is similar to Rongchang. Who knows if this "照" is the same as "昭".

However, Xiao Yurong herself had never thought about this. Even if it was true, she thought it was natural.

Liu Pinjue made another move, "You lose."

Xiao Yurong could afford to lose now, and seeing that he had indeed lost, he threw the white piece back into the chess box.

"I lost," she admitted frankly.

Xiao Yurong's chess skills weren't very good before, but now they are much better.

"It's still too early to start your apprenticeship." Liu Pinjue said calmly.

Xiao Yurong sighed: "Sir, you only know how to attack me."

The two people met this time to discuss important matters, such as Xiao and Liu, Wu, and Xie.

But the game is over, so they don't need to talk about it anymore.

Having been master and apprentice for many years, they know each other very well.

Xiao Yurong knew that Liu Pinjue would not want to seize Yujing in the short term, nor would he care about the Wu family.

Liu Pinjue knew about Xiao Yurong's plot and plan, and also stated that he needed to recuperate after dealing with the aftermath of his family's affairs, and currently had no intention of stabbing Xiao Yurong in the back.

"Just tell me, you and I are master and disciple after all." Xiao Yurong said.

She laughed in that lively tone, just like when she was young.

She was wearing luxurious clothes made of ten kinds of brocade satin, she was smiling with her hair done up, and there was a hint of love in her charming eyes.

Liu Pinjue remembered that she had a similar one when she was young, and now she has grown into a beautiful young lady.

I bought ten kinds of brocade for the lake boat and made the beauty drunk with two jade bottles.

Xiao Yurong is calm and likes gold and jade, and her words are clear and fluent. Her charming words are like a chain, and the number of forks is a clear collection. These are the same as before.

"You're so talkative." Liu Pinjue shook his head.

"Since sir has said so, I have something to ask of you," Xiao Yurong said.

Liu Pinjue knew that she had bad intentions, "Go ahead."

"I have already severely punished my aide who broke into Liu's company at night without permission. But I also know what I should know." Xiao Yurong felt no guilt at all.

Liu Pinjue knew from her expression that Xiao Yurong would definitely not be willing to punish such a useful aide.

So Liu Pinjue pretended not to hear the first half of Xiao Yurong's words.

Xiao Yurong said confidently, "Now I know Dugu Ying's little tricks. It just so happens that Fuyang Guards also found out that there is some unusual atmosphere in Xuancheng. In order to prevent any changes, I sent Shao Yan to lead some soldiers to watch over it."

"So?" Liu Pinjue waited for Xiao Yurong's follow-up.

"I'm going to attack the Wu family, and I have to suppress the Xie family. Not to mention that if something really happens in Xuancheng, the people Shao Yan brings may not be enough." Xiao Yurong said.

"If you don't have enough soldiers, you can ask your brother the emperor for some. If all else fails, your uncle has quite a few soldiers from the Huo family army." Liu Pinjue said with a half-smile.

"Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, so why should I seek something far away?" Xiao Yurong stared at Liu Pinjue.

Liu Pinjue snorted and laughed: "You have learned to be smart, Qingqing. You rarely beat around the bush before."

In this way, he was actually replying to Dugu Ying with practical actions - he was not willing to make peace, but only to fight.

Xiao Yurong indeed thought so. She couldn't let Liu Pinjue and Dugu Yingcheng reach a tacit understanding, whether for the sake of people's livelihood, to stop the war, or for something else.

She would not allow the two-part world of the previous life to appear again. This world can only belong to the Xiao family.

Even if she died and all the people in the Xiao family were dead, she would still support her corpse to take the throne.

"You want me to lend you soldiers to help you suppress the Xie family and guard Xuancheng." Liu Pinjue said Xiao Yurong's intention, "But these are all benefits for you, but not for me."

He stared at Xiao Yurong with great interest, "You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"I came here specifically to borrow a knife from you, sir." Xiao Yurong smiled.

She did not hide her purpose and ambition, and told Liu Pinjue frankly that this was what she thought.

"Sir, you can figure out the considerations involved. You should know whether it is good or bad." Xiao Yurong negotiated with Liu Pinjue slowly and steadily.

She did gain a lot of benefits, but it also left a loophole and a gap, which was already enough sincerity on her part.

Xiao Yurong expressed his sincerity: "If this is accomplished, a group of Liu's troops can be left in Xuancheng to garrison together."

Of course, she was also afraid of inviting a wolf into the house, but at the moment it seemed that Dugu Ying was a bigger threat.

After all, Dugu Ying hated Chu Le and his entire family to the core.

The conditions offered by Xiao Yurong were very tempting. Liu Pinjue only thought about it for a moment and made a decision, "Okay."

He raised his hand happily and fiddled with the tassels of Xiao Yurong's hairpins, "You are so cunning."

He agreed to it. Xiao Yurong was very proud.

"Why did a man like you give me the nickname Qingqing? I thought you should have given me a nickname that sounded scholarly or had lofty aspirations." Xiao Yurong suddenly thought of this.

When Liu Pinjue called her Qingqing, his tone might be ironic or gentle, angry or calm, but in fact, it was all tinged with a lasting and tender meaning.

Liu Pinjue looked her up and down and smiled.

In Xiao Yurong's eyes, this seemed like a mockery.

Before Xiao Yurong exploded, Liu Pinjue gave the answer leisurely.

"I love you, so I call you my lover. If I don't love you, who will?" Liu Pinjue said.

Xiao Yurong was dumbfounded, "Sir, you can even make such a joke now."

This is what a couple said.

From the way Liu Pinjue treated her, Xiao Yurong didn't see any love or affection in him.

Liu Pinjue didn't say much. He brushed off the corner of his robe and stood up. "Now that everything has been explained, I will go back to Yunzhou first. I will send the soldiers I promised you when the time comes."

"Sir, will you return to Yujing?" Xiao Yurong asked.

As soon as he asked this question, Xiao Yurong regretted it.

What do you mean will he return to Yujing? If Liu Pinjue really returns to Yujing, he will probably be beaten back to Yujing.

Seeing Xiao Yurong's annoyed expression, Liu Pinjue laughed, his eyes looking far away, "Maybe one day, yes."

Liu Pinjue walked out the door and Abei followed him.

Xie Deshu immediately poked his head in from outside the door to see how Xiao Yurong was doing. Seeing that Xiao Yurong was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further ado, after resolving the problem with the Liu family, Xiao Yurong immediately assembled the imperial army and headed to Yaocheng, Yunzhou, to attack the Wu family.

Although the Wu family has some background, it is not enough to be feared.

Xiao Yurong brought those people with him not only to speed up their journey to Xuancheng as soon as possible, but also to intimidate the people of the Liu family other than Liu Pinjue.

The most important thing is to open up a channel for General Cui to return to Beijing to report on his work.

Cui didn't bring many people with her, and she was afraid that something might happen and anger Liu, which could get out of control. That's why she was cautious and wasted time in Yaocheng.

It was reasonable for Xiao Yurong to have a legitimate reason to destroy the Wu family and bring General Cui back to the capital with him.

In the first year of Zhaoxi, Emperor Zhaoyang led his troops to attack Yaocheng and exterminated the Wu clan.

Liu turned a blind eye and a deaf ear.

The head of the Cui family went to Yujing.

In the second year of Zhaoxi, Emperor Zhaoyang led his troops to Xuancheng, and the head of the Cui family went with him.

There was unusual movement in Xuancheng, and foreign tribes attacked the camp at night.

During the turmoil, the *** Iron Horse escaped at night and was separated from the imperial army.

Huo Hou was the last one to leave, but the foreigners were still chasing them. Xie Deshu was defeated and was seriously injured after a fierce battle.

Liu sent troops to help, and the enemy returned to the barracks.

In the same year, the 49 northern tribes were ambitious and repeatedly harassed the border. Cui Ci Ning, the second son of the Cui family, suppressed them.

In the third year of Zhaoxi, the Zhaoyang *** suppressed the rebellion with a great victory, and Liu left 3,000 soldiers to garrison Xuancheng.

*** returned to Beijing in triumph, and the emperor was very pleased, and specially granted *** a coronation ceremony.

The emperor loved his sister and allowed her to wear the crown, sit on the dragon throne, and wear the dragon robe, just like the emperor.

All the ministers were shocked and jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking him to revoke his order.

The emperor was furious and executed eleven people in a row, but he did not change his mind.

In the same year, the head of the Cui family came to Beijing to report on his work. The emperor took pity on him because he was seriously ill, so he kept him in Beijing temporarily.

Xiao Yurong had been gone for nearly three years, and Xiao Yuxie missed her very much.

As for Xiao Yuxie's reward, even Xiao Yurong felt it was a bit outrageous.

But since her brother thought about her so much and was willing to share glory and power with her, Xiao Yurong was still very happy.

She asked a few questions with a smile, and got affirmative answers from Xiao Yuxie.

"Three days later, it will be your coronation ceremony." Xiao Yuxie said.

"So tight?" Xiao Yurong was a little surprised. "Brother, you didn't have these thoughts while I was on my way back to Beijing, did you?"

Xiao Yuxie lowered his eyes and smiled, "I've been thinking that for a long time, I just needed an opportunity. And you just happened to do such a big thing, isn't it just right?"

"Alas." Xiao Yurong sighed in mock sorrow, "Really, my brother is putting me in a very unjust position by doing this. Now those officials will scold me to death again."

"Then - according to Rongrong, we should still keep a low profile and not act so recklessly? Well, I think Rongrong has a point." Xiao Yuxie pinched his chin.

He pondered and said, "The emperor cannot act so arbitrarily, and I cannot put Rongrong in such an unkind and unjust place. After thinking it over, let's just let it go."

"Brother!" Xiao Yurong said angrily.

Seeing that his sister seemed really angry, Xiao Yuxie scratched her nose and smiled: "If you like it, why do you refuse? And you are pretending."

Xiao Yurong snorted, "I was just being polite, who knew that my brother would take it seriously."

"When did the words 'modest' and 'polite' have anything to do with my sister?" Xiao Yuxie shook his head.

"Brother!" Xiao Yurong glared at him.

Xiao Yuxie smiled and said, "Okay, you are already an adult, and you are still like this."

"No matter how old I am, I am no longer your sister?" Xiao Yurong curled her lips.

"Yes." Xiao Yuxie's eyes seemed to become soft but distant, "You will always be my sister."

Xiao Yurong curled up the corners of his lips, "Isn't that good? The most urgent thing is, brother, you should think carefully about how to deal with those annoying ministers."

Xiao Yuxie patted her head and said, "It is said that your brother is a tyrant. You are a beauty who brings disaster to the court. You should think carefully about how to behave so that the ministers will not raise any objections."

No objection? Xiao Yurong pursed his lips.

The only possibility for those old-fashioned people whose brains are filled with the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues to agree to Xiao Yuxie's horrifying idea is that they all die suddenly overnight.

Hmm...it doesn't seem impossible?

Xiao Yurong raised her eyebrows. As far as she knew, there were not so many people in Chu Le who were not afraid of death.

Having made up his mind to make a big scene, Xiao Yurong didn't have to spend too much time on it.

After all, she was already arrogant and unreasonable enough on a daily basis.

The staff members in her princess mansion are basically the type who look down on others and ignore others when they see them.

It can be said that the people in Zhaoyang *** Mansion are, in a sense, very dislikeable.

Xiao Yurong avoided the matter for three days. During these three days, she left all the matters to Xiao Yuxie and her own students and former officials.

As expected, the ministers were in an uproar and the situation became chaotic.

Many old ministers even expressed that God was jealous of Chu Le, giving birth to a tyrant like Xiao Yuxie and a traitor like Xiao Yurong who brought disaster to the country and the people.

They all wanted to commit suicide, saying that if the emperor did not listen to their advice, they would have to die by hitting their heads against the pillar.

After hearing the threats from the old ministers, Xiao Yuxie actually laughed out loud.

His action caused panic among the people. The excited ministers below suddenly fell silent and looked anxiously at Xiao Yuxie sitting on the dragon throne.

Xiao Yuxie leaned forward slightly on the dragon chair, raised his hand to lift the crown tassel, and looked down at the ministers below, "My dear ministers, how old am I?"

His move left his ministers confused.

A royalist minister stepped forward boldly and said cautiously: "Your Majesty is now in his prime, and you will surely go down in history."

"Oh, so I am neither young nor old." Xiao Yurong smiled, and his tone suddenly turned cold. "My dear ministers, your reaction almost made me think that I was just a six-year-old child, or that I was too old and about to die."

"We dare not!" The ministers knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation.

Xiao Yuxie was a powerful and capable monarch who ruled the country himself.

Since ancient times, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Xiao Yuxie was not so easily fooled. When he was the crown prince, he was close to wise men and kept away from flatterers. He was well-versed in writing and leading troops.

Over the years, Xiao Yuxie has become much gentler in his behavior since he ascended the throne, which almost makes them think that he is easy to get along with.

They really shouldn't have done that. They were so careless that they let their guard down.

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yuxie sneered.
