Chapter six hundred and ninety nine, in the plan
When Yuan Xiaobao went to the hall, he was about to kneel down at Yuanmao, but was stopped by Yuanmao.
Yuanmao said: "Since the beginning of my establishment, I advocated equality of all kinds. The royal power is just a temporary replacement of destiny. Moreover, I heard that the outside world has long abolished the ritual of kneeling and worshiping, and emphasized human rights. How can we fall behind? If you ask the Prime Minister, you will know that in this dynasty, you never need to kneel down when you see the king."
This was said beautifully, and even Qi Wufei couldn't help but want to praise him. However, he knew that Yuanmao's words were more formal than reality. After all, it was the old dynasty system, so where did the true equality come from? Unless the saint was in power. Even if the Yongjin Kingdom had such a time in the past, it had been a long time since it had experienced the hell-like disaster of destruction and locked in the country for two thousand years, I was afraid that my mind would have been numb. Sometimes, if my body did not kneel, my heart would have kneeled down long ago.
Yuwen Chang echoed: "What the king said is very much. We have always been a country of etiquette, but we never judge the level of class. Therefore, we don't need to kneel down when we see the king, especially in private occasions, which is very casual."
Yuan Xiaobao said: "King, Xiaobao did not kneel down to see the king, but actually came to apologize for guilt."
Yuan Maoqi said: "What crime is there?"
Xiaobao said: "A few generals had a conflict with the guards sent by the king. This fact arose because of me, so I came to apologize."
"So it's for this matter!" Yuan Mao laughed, "You can't blame you for this matter. You just came and didn't know the rules, but how could they not know? If you don't knock, they really think there is no national law!"
Xiaobao said: "No matter what, it is because of me. I am willing to commit crimes on my behalf. If the king wants to punish me, I will punish me."
Hearing this, Yuanmao's face darkened, while Yuwen Changzai lowered his head and looked at his toes, with a hint of pride on his face, which was seen by Qi Wufei.
Yuanmao said: "Xiaobao, I know you value friendship, just like your father, but do you know the current situation in the middle school?"
Xiaobao said: "I heard that for two thousand years, the country has been peaceful and peaceful, and has good weather."
Yuanmao said: "It seems to be true on the surface, but you have to know that for two thousand years, both the Heavenly Court and the Buddha's Kingdom have always had the intention of destroying me. More than a hundred years ago, your father followed Master Yin out of the mountain and became one of the ten commanders of the Heavenly Stems of the Demon Sect, which made us at the forefront of the storm. Li Jing's encirclement of Shitu Ridge may not have come to us. Over the years, the Heavenly Court has been deliberately trying to destroy us, but their army cannot enter because of the protection of the barrier. However, there are secret ways on both sides. With the ability of the Heavenly Court, it may not be impossible to send people in, and our court may have already had their inner support..."
Yuwen Changzao's eyelids shook slightly, and a layer of white appeared on his face. However, because he lowered his head, Yuanmao, who was sitting in the upper position, could not see it. However, this expression flashed and only Qi Wufei could see it clearly. Yuwen Chang returned to normal in an instant, and raised his head, looking calm.
Yuanmao glanced at him and continued to say to Yuan Xiaobao: "Your father gave the throne to me. For the past century, I have been trembling and walking on thin ice. I have never dared to relax for a moment. I am really afraid that the huge foundation will be destroyed in my hands. Forget it, I won't say that. Fortunately, you are back and I have decided that I will announce to the whole country tomorrow to give way to you."
Yuan Xiaobao pretended to be surprised and shouted: "King, how can this be done?"
Yuanmao said: "How can't you do it? This throne belongs to your father and should be passed on to you."
Yuan Xiaobao hurriedly refused and said, "No, no, king, since my father passed the throne to the king, he naturally thought that the king was able to bear this position. What kind of virtue is Xiaobao? He would never dare to take on this position. Xiaobao will leave Shicao Ridge tomorrow and ask the king to take back his life."
Yuanmao said: "There are only two passages in the barrier. The passage to the east has been destroyed by General Yin from the outside. Although there is one in the west, there is also a ban on Yin God. Unless there is a Daluo magic weapon to protect him, he will not be able to get out."
Xiaobao said anxiously: "What should I do? I still have a lot of things to do."
Yuwen Chang said: "Actually, there is a way. General Zhuang went to the east to practice the secret path. With his progress, the secret path may be repaired and opened in three to five months. Moreover, because it has been damaged, the ban on Yin God may be invalid. At that time, Li Jing's army would have retreated long ago, and the little prince can go out."
Yuan Xiaobao said with a bitter face: "That's all. Then I will stay in the court for three or five months. I will ask the king to send my entourage to the secret road in the west tomorrow and let them go out first. I have important things to do outside. In three or five months, I will go out to meet them."
Yuanmao still wanted to keep it and insisted on giving the throne to Yuan Xiaobao. Yuan Xiaobao refused to accept it and insisted on leaving. The more determined Yuan Xiaobao was, the more polite Yuan Mao was. The more polite Yuan Mao was, the more firm Yuan Xiaobao was, and Yuan Mao's brows were relaxed. In the end, Yuan Mao agreed to Yuan Xiaobao's request with regret, asking his followers to leave the secret road in the west first, and sent people to wait outside the secret road in the east, and wait a few months later, and then let Yuan Xiaobao leave.
Yuan Xiaobao thanked him very much and asked Yuan Mao to give up Zhou Xin and others lightly. Yuan Mao naturally agreed, but did not release him immediately.
Qi Wufei knew that Yuanmao would not let others go. This was his chance to eliminate dissidents. He finally found these people out. Even if he didn't kill them, he would at least have to cut off their military power, and he might even find ways to reduce the damage to their cultivation.
Yuan Xiaobao's mission was completed and he left.
Yuanmao sent someone to escort Yuan Xiaobao back, and then seemed to be in trouble for how to deal with Zhou Xin and others.
Yuwen Chang said: "Zhou Xin and others were obviously trying to use the emperor to command the princes. If the young prince had not understood the righteousness deeply, the consequences of this matter would be unimaginable. The king had to make a decision early and should never tolerate it."
Yuanmao said: "Even if they have this intention, they have no action and no evidence, how can they be convicted at will? Besides, more than ten people are meritorious ministers, and they are all convicted, just because they are afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable."
Yuwen Chang said: "The king might as well interrogate overnight and find out the mastermind. There is no need for more than ten people to be held in charge."
Yuanmao nodded and said, "Okay, this matter will be a blessing from the Prime Minister."
Yuwen Chang said in panic: "They are all generals, especially General Zhou. The army is very powerful. I am afraid that I will not be able to meet the strength, so it would be better for the king to go and examine it myself."
Yuan Mao waved his hand and said, "This is a bad thing. You are the prime minister of a country, and you are the one below one, and you are above ten thousand people. What's there to be afraid of? Besides, maybe General Zhou was also bewitched and confused for a while. That's it. You will interrogate tonight overnight. Remember, I want you to deal with it fairly. As long as you are the mastermind, no matter the official position, you should punish the crime strictly and will never tolerate it."
Yuwen Chang bowed and said, "I obey the order!"
Qi Wufei understood Yuwen Changzai's routine, but he didn't understand Yuanmao's routine very much. However, things were roughly under his imagination, and no accidents had happened so far.
Yuwen Changzai did not immediately interrogate Zhou Xin and others, but went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first. Qi Wufei followed him for a while, but there was no new discovery, so he went back for the time being. He wanted to explain some things, and according to the plan, Yuanmao would send someone to send them away tomorrow.
Of course Qi Wufei would not leave, he could not leave Yuan Xiaobao alone. On the surface, he would go out with others, find out the entrance and exit of the secret path, and sneak back secretly, and then take Yuan Xiaobao away. If he had the chance, it would be better to use a knife to kill someone and get rid of Yuwen Changzai. If Li Jing's eyeliner is alive, Li Jing will sooner or later know that Yuan Tingbi has a son, which is very dangerous for Yuan Xiaobao and even Pansiling.
