I'm shocked! After breaking off the engagement, the emperor's uncle wants to have a fake m

Yuan Xiao's son is just like his father, young but very intelligent.

Even if he had captured his father, the entire Governor's Mansion was like an iron barrel, without any loopholes.

Unfortunately, he was afraid of the consequences and could only detain the person but not harm his life. Yuan Xiao was personally appointed to this position by the current emperor. Even the King of Yong, who held a large number of troops and ruled a region, could not shake him in the slightest.

So she had no choice but to use this method to force him to submit. Unexpectedly, he had made preparations in advance. Not only did he allow his wife and daughter to leave Huaiyang with the evidence, but even if she herself was imprisoned, his son would be able to manage the affairs of the Grain Transport Bureau without any mistakes.

Not only did this plan fail to recruit him, but it also dragged himself into trouble.

He said that King Yong was too anxious.

Even though Your Majesty doesn't dare to do anything to him even if he knows that he is going to rebel, everyone knows that you are going to rebel, so how long can you continue on this path?

After all, the Queen Mother can only do so much in the palace. Even if she can win over some court officials, you, Prince Yong, want the throne, but your position is not legitimate. The current emperor has no major faults and has many princes, so it is not your turn to be the emperor. Those who are more ambitious want to be the emperor. If the plan succeeds, it's fine. If not, they will kill all nine clans!

"Sir Yuan, please consider our long-standing relationship and show some sympathy for me... I have no choice..."

"Master Huang, there is no need to make yourself sound so pitiful. Your Huang family in Huaiyang always regards itself as the empress dowager's family. The wife openly holds banquets under various pretexts, accepts bribes, and sells official positions and titles for others. The children act outside without regard for the law and take human lives lightly. Although this matter is not within my authority, I can intervene if I want to. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. In the officialdom, there will always be some people who want to use their power to seek benefits. As long as you do not shake the foundation of Da'an, even His Majesty will turn a blind eye. But desire is hard to satisfy. All these years of indulgence have fed your ambition too much..."

Huang Zhixiao knew that these things could not be kept secret, but since everyone was doing it, why shouldn't he do it?

Anyway, he was just talking, and there was no evidence, so what could be done to him? Even if there was evidence, the Queen Mother would find a way to protect him.

After all, if Prince Yong wants to accomplish his goals, he needs people to support him.

Huaiyang Prefecture has been a prosperous place since ancient times. If Prince Yong wants to raise a large number of private soldiers, he needs a large amount of silver to feed them. Otherwise, why would they work for him?

If the Huai-Yang line is lost, where can King Yong find so much money to support his troops?

Knowing that his persuasion was futile today, Huang Zhixiao angrily turned away again.

After everyone had left, Yuan Xiao glanced into the darkness and said, "Come out."

A Shu's figure appeared in front of him, "Lord Yuan has suffered..." A Shu felt it was against his will to say this, he had never seen a prisoner living such a comfortable life.

Yuan Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "You are someone sent by King Ling, right? It's hard for you to find this place... Let's go..."

He stood up and shook his clothes.

Being in the dungeon is like walking in your own back garden, with your hands behind your back, feeling relaxed and comfortable.

Huang Zhixiao felt a chill on his back when he learned that Yuan Xiao, who refused to leave despite his repeated requests, suddenly disappeared in the dungeon of his home. This was his mansion! Yuan Xiao was in the dungeon, and he could disappear quietly. He touched his cold neck and couldn't help shuddering... He had provoked a plague god! He didn't even know that he was beheaded in his sleep that day!

He hunched over and shivered.

Because, as soon as Yuan Xiao left, his superior secretly entered Huaiyang Prefecture and was standing in front of him.

"If you can't even keep an eye on someone, what's the point of having you!" Prince Yong was wearing a black cloak, covering himself from head to toe. Upon learning that Yuan Xiao had escaped, he was furious. If he hadn't taken his identity into consideration, he would have killed Huang Zhixiao on the spot.

Huang Zhixiao felt aggrieved. According to seniority, Prince Yong still had to call him his cousin...

Now he is scolding him like a grandson.

Where would he put his old face?

Besides, doesn't King Yong know how difficult Yuan Xiao is to deal with? If he were a simple person, let alone Huaiyang Prefecture, the nine states and thirteen cities of Da'an would have been under King Yong's command long ago!

It was precisely because he was difficult to deal with that King Yong racked his brains to deal with him for many years, but he was never able to shake him in the slightest!

He was in charge of the water transport affairs of Kyushu and had 4,000 troops under his direct command. Although the troops of the thirteen cities were not directly under his control, he could deploy them on his own.

The more Huang Zhixiao thought about it, the more scared he became. Why did he listen to King Yong's order and detain him in the palace? If his son Yuan Feng came directly with 4,000 soldiers and horses to look for him, wouldn't his whole family be trampled into meat paste?

"Your Highness, the entire Huaiyang Prefecture is under Yuan Xiao's control. Although I am the governor, the power I hold is nothing compared to his. He can come and go in my mansion as if he were in an empty place. How can I keep an eye on him? Think about why he surrendered at the beginning. Maybe he knew our intentions and deliberately went along with it... He knew we dared not do anything to him, so he deliberately fell into the trap to let us relax our vigilance, and then let his son guard the Governor's Mansion to the death, and secretly arranged for his wife and daughter to go to Beijing. As long as we don't have bargaining chips that make him afraid, he won't be held hostage by us. Now that he has left and the evidence has been brought to Beijing, what should we do next?"

At this point, he just wants to protect himself.

What merit do you deserve to be a dragon? I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it.

But since I got on this pirate ship in a fit of impulsiveness, it may not be easy to get off now.

It’s good enough to save the lives of the whole family.

"So what if the evidence has been brought to the capital? I can't deal with Yuan Xiao. Your Majesty still doesn't dare to do anything to me. Now the battle at Chiling Pass is tense, and he is in a state of panic! If Chiling Pass cannot be defended, he will not be able to sit on the throne for a few days! When he is pulled down by the Yi Kingdom and the Beiqi people, I will take the opportunity to serve the country. If he dies in the chaos, I will naturally ascend to the throne for my meritorious service!"

Huang Zhixiao wiped the cold sweat from his face.

I thought to myself that you might be thinking things too simply.

Even if His Majesty died in the chaos, he still has the crown prince. Even if the crown prince dies, what about the other princes? You can't kill all the princes, right?

As long as Your Majesty still has a prince alive, even if he is a young boy, he should be the natural heir to the throne. As an uncle of the emperor, even if you have made contributions, you can at most get rewards. If you want to ascend to the throne, it is not natural in any way.

Moreover, he received news that Prince Yongle's Purple Armor Guards had already rushed to Chiling Pass with food and fodder, and Prince Yongle also led a large army to follow closely behind to provide support.
