Chapter 25: If the prince joins the game, the world will be at his fingertips
Under the pavilion.
Under Jiang Xuan's strange look.
Xu Shu said slowly: "The prince has not married yet, and the current emperor is a woman. I think there is room for maneuver."
"I heard that before His Majesty ascended the throne."
"I admire the prince very much."
"I have secretly peeked at her many times during palace banquets. I believe she has already fallen in love with him."
Xu Shu said this and winked at Jiang Xuan with a smile.
Then he bewitched her and said, "If the prince can marry your majesty, then it doesn't matter whether the world belongs to your majesty or you, prince?"
"hey-hey."
Xu Chu, who had been drinking silently, heard this.
He suddenly grinned.
He laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Yuanzhi said is right."
As he spoke, he burped.
A smell of alcohol hit me in the face.
"You fool."
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but laugh and curse when he heard this: "This king would never resort to such means."
Say it.
He looked at Xu Shu again.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Yuanzhi, your idea is indeed very immature. Don't say it next time."
"Your Majesty."
Xu Shu said sternly: "If a counselor puts himself in the game, he can still win half of the battle. If the prince puts himself in the game, the world will be at his fingertips. Why should we care about the means?"
Ever since I found out the fundamental reason why the prince has no desire to dominate.
During this period of time, Xu Shu has been thinking about ways to break the impasse.
He even had the idea of secretly taking action to eradicate the royal family of the Dawu Dynasty.
But in the end I gave up this plan.
The prince will not agree.
But today.
But a light bulb suddenly flashed on his head, and he suddenly realized that the current emperor was a woman.
And before he ascended the throne.
The empress had great admiration for the prince.
This was not nonsense on his part, but accurate news circulating in the palace.
Below that.
If done properly, it may not be impossible.
"All right."
Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "Yuanzhi, didn't you see Qing'er is unhappy?"
Hear the words.
He had already returned from Chang'an.
Ah Qing, who was standing behind Jiang Xuan with a sword in hand, had a look of bewilderment in her cold eyes. She frowned and murmured, "Should I be happy or unhappy?"
"That's the end of it."
Ah Qing's murmurs made Jiang Xuan smile silently.
Just as he said before, he would not use such means to achieve his goal.
Even if the empress is extremely beautiful.
But with his current power, is there any woman he can't get?
Take Qing'er for example.
She is not much inferior to the empress.
"Ok."
Seeing Jiang Xuan say this.
Xu Shu opened his mouth but didn't say anything else.
But looking at his unwilling expression, he would definitely not give up like this.
"Zhongkang."
Jiang Xuan noticed this.
But he didn't say much, instead he looked at Xu Chu on the side and said, "Get ready, and lead the Xianzhen Camp to Xingqing Prefecture tomorrow."
"Here."
Xu Chu was a little confused when he heard this.
But he also obeyed the order respectfully.
"Go."
At Jiang Xuan's signal, Xu Chu retreated.
However, when he left, he glared at Qing'er who was standing behind Jiang Xuan.
It seemed as if he was blaming Qing'er for taking his position as bodyguard.
In this regard.
Qing'er raised her eyes, glanced at Xu Chu, and then looked away.
This was like a look of contempt, making Xu Chu furious, and he walked away in frustration.
"Your Majesty."
Wait until Xu Chu goes away.
Xu Shu then frowned and said, "Wouldn't it be a bad idea to let this fool stay in the Xianzhen Camp?"
From here we go to Xingqing Prefecture.
Although there is no danger, you will have to face the King of Wu, many vassal kings, and other various forces.
It was even a test from the empress.
It would be difficult for this fool to handle it.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay. This guy is not really a fool."
"But you have to be careful."
Jiang Xuan said, looking at Xu Shu, "Send the order to transfer a captain from the Black Ice Platform to Xingqing Prefecture."
"Yes."
Xu Shu responded respectfully.
"That's right." Jiang Xuan nodded, and couldn't help but think of the Empress Dowager Xiao in the palace. He frowned and said, "Yuanzhi, do you think that Empress Dowager Xiao is really the missing saint of the White Lotus Sect?"
If she is really the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect has been playing a big game over the years, and Jiang Xuan has to take it seriously.
"Hard to say."
Xu Shu hesitated for a moment.
He said solemnly, "However, judging from the time when the two disappeared and reappeared, it is more likely that they are the real ones, but it is not ruled out that Empress Dowager Xiao has another identity."
"And this identity is not simple."
He has a celestial realm expert under his command, so his identity is definitely not simple, and his ambitions must be significant.
"But regardless of whether this Empress Dowager Xiao is the missing saint of the White Lotus Sect or the assassin of the White Lotus Sect a few days ago, she is a great suspect."
"The Black Ice Platform also found out that Empress Dowager Xiao had contact with the White Lotus Sect a few days before the White Lotus assassin appeared." When Xu Shu said this, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"besides."
"Your Highness, I'm sure you'll be surprised by this news. The Ministry of Revenue of the Dawu Dynasty is out of money."
"The Ministry of Revenue has no money?" Jiang Xuan frowned and was a little shocked when he heard this.
The Ministry of Revenue in the Dawu Dynasty had a surplus every year.
Taxes are getting higher every year, and the silver is piling up like a mountain.
How come you have no money?
"This matter."
Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "It has a lot to do with Empress Dowager Xiao, and it is not something that has just happened recently. The Black Ice Platform has found out that the Ministry of Revenue has been secretly transporting a large amount of silver to the palace and sent it to the Fengluan Palace since a few years ago."
"The late emperor seemed to have acquiesced to this."
"Turn a blind eye."
After Xu Shu said this, Jiang Xuan's expression darkened slightly.
He didn't expect that the Ministry of Revenue had secretly transferred silver to Empress Dowager Xiao when the late emperor was still alive.
Even the late emperor acquiesced to this matter.
Based on Jiang Xuan's understanding of the late emperor, he would definitely not condone such a thing from happening.
Even if he doted on Empress Dowager Xiao, it would be impossible.
unless.
The late emperor was wary of the power behind Empress Dowager Xiao.
It even reached the level that the late emperor saw.
If they were to fall out with him, the Dawu Dynasty would surely be overthrown.
Thinking of this.
Jiang Xuan's expression also showed a hint of solemnity for the first time in a long time: "It seems that the identity of Empress Dowager Xiao is more mysterious than you and I imagined."
The Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect?
If it were just that, the late emperor would not have been afraid.
He would even use Empress Dowager Xiao to lure out the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Even Empress Dowager Xiao.
Not all of them will survive.
There is no doubt that the late emperor had the courage to do so, even if it was the woman he deeply loved.
In the face of the interests of the Dawu Dynasty.
They are all disposable items.
"hiss"
Seeing the solemnity in Jiang Xuan's expression.
Xu Shu was shocked.
Since he was born, he had never seen the prince look so serious.
However, he did not know much about the late emperor.
This is why I don't see the key point.
"Yuan Nao."
"Send a message to the Black Ice Platform and dispatch two more captains to Chang'an. Find out the true origins of Empress Dowager Xiao as quickly as possible."
