"Why?"

An Zidao sat down dejectedly. If the prince's rebellion shocked and angered him, the father and son had fought for many years and it was expected that they would really come to this point. However, Xiao Xunqi's betrayal really hurt his heart.

His face became withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The illusion was always an illusion. When the will that supported the vitality began to collapse, Zhu Daorong's magical method could not stop the summoning of the god of death.

Why!

An Zidao needs an answer!

"Shounu, you and I were playmates when I was young, but you were the crown prince, and I was a child who was not valued by Xiao. Everything depends on you and everything must be given to you. These are all okay. An is the respected, Xiao is the minister, and politeness is the ritual system. I don't care. But after you succeed to the throne, you should be appointed as the Sili school captain, kill the auxiliary minister, eliminate dissidents, and inspect all officials. It seems that the power of the world is over, but in fact it is just your dog. Yellow-eared dog and purple-tailed croaker are the titles of the Sili Mansion. I was dressed in purple and ranked second in the official position, but I had to live in simplicity, be careful, and always deal with the bright and secret arrows shot from nowhere. It is a blessing to be able to live to this day!"

An indescribable sadness appeared in Xiao Xunqi's eyes and said, "But I am not your dog, guard slave! I was born in the Xiao family of Lanling. I have read poetry and books since I was a child, read classics and history, and regulated government orders. I am proficient in all. Although I am not as talented as the king and Zuo, I can be a good minister, dedicated to the country, and preserved the reputation of history. However, I have been trapped in Sili Mansion for decades and was criticized and scolded by the world. In the future, my writing of history is as iron as I am. Who knows how difficult it is to know?"

An Zidao said in disbelief: "How kind of kindness is it to let you be the Sili Captain? Since the Han and Wei dynasties, they have been the emperor's conscience. Yuan Shao, Li Jue, Cao Cao, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang all led the Sili Captain to respect themselves. They agreed to the nine ministers and congratulate them. The prince, noble relatives, and three dukes can all be disrespectful, but you hold a grudge for this?"

"Does these people be responsible for the Sili Mansion?" Xiao Xunqi laughed and said, "Yes, you want to reuse me so that you can only be the Sili School Captain, but you have never asked me what I want to do?"

An Zidao was silent.

He is the emperor and does not need to know what you want to do, but only knows what you should do. This is different from standing perspectives and different conclusions when looking at the problem.

"However, this is just my personal obsession, not the reason why I betray you. If you say that you are dissatisfied with controlling the Sili Mansion, it would be too pretentious and innovative, and you will be laughed at when you speak out." Xiao Xun said leisurely: "It doesn't matter if I am your dog, barking and biting people for you, but you shouldn't be afraid of Xiao and deliberately suppress it..."

An Zidao's eyes showed a sneer and said, "Suppression? The rewards I give to Xiao every year are the highest among court officials, and even the princes and the kings cannot be compared. From below, there are many marquises and many people who eat their own money, and other families are far inferior! People are not satisfied with their hearts, so what else can they say!"

"Does Xiao lack money? The title of marquis and food are all scattered!" Xiao Xun said strangely: "The Secretary of the Central Committee is the Liu family, the Shangshu is the Yu family, and the disciple is the Yuan family. There are three provinces and six provinces, but the Xiao family has no one to serve in the central area. After finally being in the rebellion of the White Thieves, I stand alone and I am trying to raise Yushu to lead the troops. The entire Xiao family, including me, will be punished. But the fight is good, but it is also a taboo. Even Xu You, a sinner who has been set up to destroy the family, was rewarded by Yushu, and was impeached by the censor for several serious crimes. You are still merciless, saying that you have to pay off your merits and demerits and take the office away. Yes, he killed Qiu Yuan and made a decision in the battle. How could he convince the public if he didn't kill him? How could he let the army die?"

"Do you really don't know what he did?"

Xiao Xunqi laughed and said, "What you care about is Wang Chun, the military censor! Yes, Wang Chun was instructed by me to kill him. Lao Ge relied on the power of the Censorate and made things difficult for me everywhere. How much sin would it be if he killed him? But have you ever thought about it? I have a way to kill Wang Chun, so why did he want to kill him in front of the two armies, even though he knew that he could not hide it from you, he still asked Yu Shu to kill him?

An Zidao said calmly: "So, you are testing me..."

Xiao Xunqi shook his head. He was tall and immediately towering like a mountain with his hands behind his back. Looking at An Zidao's eyes, there was a scent of looking down. This was simply unimaginable before, and said, "No, I am giving you the last chance! If you ignore the impeachment of the Censorate, don't care about Wang Chun's death, and give Xiao Yushu and Xiao the glory that should be obtained, I still don't mind continuing to be your dog, protecting the country and the country for you, and let this relationship between the king and the ministers have a beginning and an end. However, Guanzi, you disappointed me!"

There have always been only ministers who disappoint the king. How can there be a reason why the king disappoints the ministers? At this point, An Zidao had already understood the reason for Xiao Xunqi's betrayal, but his heart calmed down. He was the emperor of Chu and had the demeanor that the emperor should have. Now that things have come, it is meaningless to argue who is right and who is wrong. Success and defeat of the king, and the enemy who has the advantage always makes sense, but this principle can only convince himself and cannot convince others.

The sound of fighting outside the hall became clearer and clearer. Through the windows of Hanzhang Hall, you can even see the firelight ignited in the distance. Tonight, countless people are destined to sleep here. But what is amazing is that the hall seems to be chatting, and you say something and say something, without any rushing or slowing down. Lin Shuanghu stood hunched over in the shadow behind An Zidao, as if it did not exist, just like the past few decades.

They are all delaying time and waiting for the situation of confrontation outside to change, either becoming favorable or harmful, but no matter what, only when it changes can they continue to make progress.

An Zidao and Xiao Xunqi are both masters of chess, so they are not in a hurry!

"You often say that I am the person you trust the most, but is it really the case? You are so seriously ill this time, so Zhu Daorong forced his life to prolong his life with the cultivation of a great master, but he said to me that he had taken Wen Ruquan's medicine. Have you ever thought that if I relaxed my vigilance, once you suddenly die, facing the hatred and tigers and wolves everywhere in the morning, and there are no preparations, how should I deal with myself?"

Xiao Xunqi's questioning seemed to have cut open each other's hearts with a sharp knife, and every word was crying and said, "Shounu, is there anyone who can truly trust in your heart?"

An Zidao was silent again.

As for the same sentence, he is the emperor, and it is true that he trusts you, but he must prevent his family from dominating the dominance. Xiao Xunqi was appointed as the Sili School Captain, and his power was more than three provinces and six ministers. If Xiao's children entered the center, they would inevitably be too big. For the emperor, this is actually to love you, protect you, and keep you away from possible temptations and ambitions that you should not have. But for Xiao, the resentment in the family over the years has covered the sky and the power of Xiao Xunqi alone has made the entire family dull. If it lasts for a long time, the four top aristocratic families, Yuan, Liu, Yu, and Xiao, Xiao must be the first to fall behind.

Therefore, Xiao Xunqi had to find a way out for the Xiao family. An Zidao could not count on him, so the prince came into his sight. The crumbling prince undoubtedly needed the support of the Sili Mansion the most, and the two hit it off. However, Xiao Xunqi did not share everything with the prince, and the prince would not show off with Xiao Xunqi. While cooperating, they were on guard and secretly fought against their biggest opponent: the emperor!

"What does the prince promise you?"

An Zidao suddenly said, "Is you the Grand Marshal, or the General, to lead the military affairs of China and abroad? The Xiao family's children are promoted first, enter the Taiwan Province, become the Central Secretariat or the Shangshu? Xiao Xiao, you are ambitious and unwilling to be a dog, but you can surrender to the crown prince. After all, isn't he his dog?"

Since the two met, they either used their names or names or fonts. This was the first time An Zidao called him his official position. After years of friendship, they finally broke off their gratitude and righteousness.

"The prince usurped the throne and relied on his own. If I had no self, Xiao, he would not have been on the dragon throne for too long. It can be imagined that within ten years, the prince could not have left Xiao, and ten years later, even if the prince wanted to move, he could not have moved Xiao!" Xiao Xunqi looked at An Zi with pity and said, "It is not certain who is whose dog between me and the prince!"

"you!"

An Zidao held the imperial case with both hands and held the bright yellow silk tightly to prevent him from losing his composure. Although he hated the prince, no matter how much he said the prince was bleeding from the royal family, he was now regarded as a dog by a minister who was bold and arrogant. Who can tolerate it?

"Come!"

With An Zidao as the center, behind him and on both sides, several secret doors were exposed behind the eight sandalwood carved cloud dragon-patterned jade-embedded screens placed in fan shapes. Sixteen young masters came out one after another, reaching the peak of the third grade, and at the lowest level, the fifth grade entry, and the left and right, with amazing momentum.

Xiao Yushu smiled and said, "There is no secret that there are dark rooms in Taiji Palace and Hanzhang Palace. However, I tried my best to find out whether the armored soldiers or masters are hidden in the dark room. Today I realized that there were so many young masters in the bag on the master."

The little master is not a big cabbage. In the twenty-two states of Jiangdong, there are no more than thirty young masters who have broken through the fifth-grade mountain gate on the surface. Who would have thought that there were a total of sixteen people hidden in the palace?

Learning civil and martial arts, buying with the imperial family,

In life, what you pursue is nothing more than fame, fortune and wealth, and no one can escape the world!

Including monks.

Four out of the sixteen people are monks from Benwu Temple!

"Person Xiao, there are five hundred sword scatters outside Hanzhang Hall, and you can't capture me with these sixteen little masters. As long as the left and right guards and more than four thousand sword scatters resist for an hour, other central troops will come to help. At that time, whether it is Shen Muzhi's 50,000 soldiers or the prince's 5,000 soldiers, or the Heavenly Master, you may also have to add the Heavenly Master, they are just native chickens and tiles and dogs, and they will collapse with one blow. It's time for your great dream of spring and autumn to wake up!"

Shen Muzhi actually only had 30,000 soldiers, but Xiao Xunqi unintentionally corrected An Zidao's wrong perception and clapped his hands. There were ten people behind him. Among them were three young masters around the prince, because one was to keep one to protect the prince. After all, the young masters could not play much role in confrontation between the two armies, but the close protection against cold arrows could make people feel very at ease. In addition, there were two young masters affiliated to the Sili Mansion, who were Xiao Xunqi's confidant, An Zidao had also seen him, and a young master trained by the Xiao family. There are four Tianshidao, and Fan Changyi has been in the fifth grade for many years. The seventh monk Wei Chang'an was a little unknown young master in Lu Tang who had just discovered the mountain gate a few years ago, but the most important thing is that Bai Changjue has also come. He is the peak of the second grade, and one person can match five young masters, especially in the melee, his lethality is almost incomparable.

These people entered the palace as Xiao Xunqi's entourage. They were protected by the Sili lieutenant. No one dared to search carefully. They were waiting outside the hall. When they heard the call, they immediately appeared, and the hope that An Zidao had just risen into a bubble.

"The central army in the city was first stabilized by Chen Yue holding the Crown Prince Order for a while, and I ordered the Sili Mansion to take your edict and prevent them from moving. Of course, those are all fake edicts. As the Sili School Captain, it is not too difficult to make a few blank edicts for so many years. At the latest by dawn, the central army will never come to help. What's more, you abolished the Second Order of the Eastern Palace, and many of the former Eastern Palace troops who were disbanded were incorporated into the Central Army. After several years of intentional arrangements, most of them are now in an important position. Even if there is a general who can't think of it, he wants to lead his troops to Taicheng to see it, I'm afraid he can't move. One soldier... As for the left and right guards, the left guard was under the control of the prince. The right guard was defeated by the enemy from both sides and was destroyed in an instant. Although the sword scatter was invincible, he was also invincible and could not be poured into the water run by the master. Even I could not interfere. But don't forget that when Xiao Yushu was pacified, the master gave him two thousand sword scatterers, and asked him to make the law a must-have, and ordered him to go out to move. With such convenience, although the two thousand sword scatterers could not buy them all, they finally broke the Taoist scatterers. The so-called thousand-mile scatterers were destroyed in the ant hole. After these three or five years of unremitting efforts, you think that the iron wall scatterers are not invincible!"

What Xiao Xunqi said was actually secondary factors. After An Zidao was old, he was stubborn and had no trust in the leaders, so he ordered Xiao Xunqi to install the Sili Mansion's spies around almost all the generals. However, if there is any abnormal movement, he could kill him first and then report it. Now these spies have become Xiao Xunqi's means of controlling the central army. Otherwise, even if there is a prince's edict or even a false edict of the Sili Mansion, it would be impossible for a army to come to rescue him. Because of the abnormal movement, the Sili Mansion would either be threatened by the Sili Mansion's lives with his parents, wife and children, or he had died in assassination.
