Crazy and bad again, the princess is the best in Beijing

Chapter 398: High in the Temple

The Duke of Zhenguo and his son had also been captured and were brought before him with black and blue faces.

Xie Xuanzhi glanced at the Duke of Zhenguo and his son, and said slowly, "They are truly stupid to the extreme."

"With your limited abilities, you dare to rebel. I don't know where you get the confidence from."

The Duke of Zhenguo said coldly, "Xie Xuanzhi, please let us go immediately."

"Otherwise, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will suffer the consequences!"

Xie Xuanzhi chuckled: "That also requires Zhao Zhongze to ascend the throne."

He finally understood that the whole family of the Duke of Zhenguo was not very smart.

The queen came from their family, so she wasn't very smart.

Zhao Zhongze, born to the queen, was just as stupid.

The Duke of Zhenguo's expression changed drastically, because Xie Xuanzhi's words contained too much meaning.

To some extent, Xie Xuanzhi was the mainstay of the Tang Dynasty.

Wherever he is, there is absolute safety.

His attitude and position often affect the entire court situation.

He is the patron saint of the Tang Dynasty and also the sharpest sword of the Tang Dynasty.

However, over the past year or so, after Xie Xuanzhi handed over his military power, he kept a very low profile in the capital, making people forget how ferocious he was when he swept across Xiliang.

The Duke of Zhenguo felt that Xie Xuanzhi, now that he had lost his military power, was like a toothless tiger and there was no need to take him seriously.

Only then did the Duke of Zhenguo realize how wrong he was.

Even if Xie Xuanzhi handed over his military power, he was still Xie Xuanzhi.

As long as Xie Xuanzhi was willing, he could easily pin them down.

Before, Zhao Zhongze had thought of killing Xie Xuanzhi, but now he realized that they were too naive at that time.

But he only understood this truth now, and it was obviously too late.

Xie Xuanzhi did not waste too much time on the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He went to find Prime Minister Yan in person and invited him into the palace.

Two days have passed since this chaos, and Yan Xiang has been feeling very uneasy.

When Xie Xuanzhi came to him at this time, he knew that the matter was finally settled.

Xie Xuanzhi bowed to Prime Minister Yan and said, "Your Majesty has issued an edict, inviting Prime Minister Yan to the palace."

Minister Yan asked, "Is your Majesty well?"

Xie Xuanzhi replied, "Your Majesty has been poisoned and is in imminent danger."

When Yan Xiang heard this, his face changed drastically and he looked at Xie Xuanzhi.

Xie Xuanzhi said softly, "Uncle Yan, the matter of His Majesty being poisoned has nothing to do with me."

"If I were to take action, I wouldn't use such a sinister trick, but would do it openly and honestly."

Xie Xuanzhi and Yan Xiang rarely interacted with each other, and no one knew that they were actually close friends regardless of age.

When the old King Chong led the prince to fight against Xiliang, only Xie Xuanzhi was left in the capital.

Xie Xuanzhi was young at that time and met Yan Xiang during a chess game, and then the two became friends regardless of age difference.

Prime Minister Yan was promoted to the position of Chief Minister, the chief among the civil officials.

Xie Xuanzhi became the new generation of war god of the Tang Dynasty and the leader of military generals.

The identities of both of them are too sensitive. If their relationship is too good, it will easily arouse all kinds of suspicion.

So the two of them had no interaction in public, but their feelings for each other in private were as strong as ever.

If there is something that needs the other party's help, the other party will never be vague.

Yan Xiang is an old fox in the eyes of others, but he is the most reliable person in the eyes of Xie Xuanzhi.

Yan Xiang was older than Xie Xuanzhi and knew a lot. Because he was in a high position, he saw more things and he noticed the clues of some things early on.

In the old story of Xiliang back then, Xie Xuanzhi was poisoned and Shi Meichen was entrusted with an important position. The news that was conveyed could not be hidden from the old fox Yan Xiang.

It's just that he sees it clearly because he is in a high position, but he chooses to conceal it because he is in a high position.

There was too much helplessness and overall perspective hidden in this, and all of this was revealed in the look he gave Xie Xuanzhi.

The moment Xie Xuanzhi glanced at him, he knew that Yan Xiang knew everything.

After hearing his words, Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and apologized to Xie Xuanzhi: "I underestimated you. I want to apologize to you."

Xie Xuanzhi chuckled: "You don't need to apologize to me for this."

"What you want to apologize for is that there are some things that you see very clearly in your heart, but you are hiding them from me."

Yan Xiang laughed: "I have to hide it. You are still young and hold a large number of troops in your hands. I am afraid you will act impulsively."

"It's only now that I realize that I didn't do these things properly and that I underestimated you."

He sighed deeply at this point and said, "As a minister, I have my own worries."

"When you're in a high position, personal gain is no longer important. You'll inevitably overthink things. After all, ordinary people are innocent."

He said this in an obscure way, showing a lot of restraint, just like speaking in a riddle, but Xie Xuanzhi could understand it.

Xie Xuanzhi bowed to Minister Yan and said, "Minister Yan is right!"

"You were right to hide it from me. If I hadn't gone through all these years of trials and tribulations, it would have been difficult for me to remain calm when encountering these things."

"If I had known these things earlier, Xu Zhen would have made a big mistake."

Yan Xiang nodded with great satisfaction when he heard this: "With love in your heart, you can endure what ordinary people cannot endure."

Xie Xuanzhi chuckled and said to Yan Xiang: "Yan Xiang, please!"

Prime Minister Yan nodded slightly, then followed Xie Xuanzhi out of the Prime Minister's Residence and into the Imperial Palace.

Today, he and Xie Xuanzhi spoke in a vague way. Although they only said a few words, they actually said a lot.

it is more than words.

Before Xie Xuanzhi came, Prime Minister Yan had many speculations.

After Xie Xuanzhi came, Yan Xiang knew that the thing he least wanted to guess did not happen.

He was very relieved.

After they left the prime minister's residence, they met Tian Huaijue and several other playboys not far away.

They listened to Shi Wanwan's advice, managed to return home, and mobilized all the servants and guards in the house to fight against the rebel soldiers.

There aren't many people in each of their families, but when they're all together, they form a considerable armed force.

Xie Xuanzhi was able to control the situation so quickly and kill all the soldiers brought by Zhao Yunnian, and they made an indelible contribution.

As soon as Tian Huaijue saw Xie Xuanzhi, he asked, "Prince, have you seen my aunt? How is she now?"

Xie Xuanzhi saw that the young man was covered in blood and had many wounds on his body, but his eyes were very bright.

These young men often fought with each other, and Tian Huaijue was actually the leader.

Maybe because he fought so many times, he accumulated a lot of experience from fighting.

These experiences were demonstrated during this battle with Zhao Yunnian's troops. He led the deployment of the troops. Although there was some chaos at the beginning, he gradually gained experience later.

Xie Xuanzhi had already heard about their affairs from the guards, so he said, "Wanwan is in the palace, she is doing well."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tian Huaijue and said, "You did very well this time."

"Tian Huaijue, you are very good at reading, but I think you are very talented in fighting."

"Think carefully during this time and decide whether you want to join the army."
