Chapter 405

Royal study.

Yang Zhen is saying something to Xiao Wenxuan. When Yang Zhen's words are finished, Xiao Wenxuan's brows wrinkle.

"Are you sure it's the king of Qi who caught the Shanxi merchants?" Xiao Wenxuan asked.

Yang Zhen said: "yes, we could have arrested the Shanxi businessman in advance, but we didn't expect that the people of the king of Qi were a step faster. However, our people have been following us all the way. Now we can take them back at any time just waiting for your Majesty's will, but before that, we don't dare to act rashly for fear of offending the king of Qi."

"Well, you've dealt with it correctly. Don't conflict with the people of the king of Qi. I understand Xiao Ming's temperament. Although he has changed a lot in the past two years, he is definitely not a dumb loser." Xiao Wenxuan showed a wry smile, "now need to wait for the Shanxi Merchants in the end for whom."

"But if it's the second prince, it's difficult for your majesty." Yang Zhen seems to be worried about Xiao Wenxuan.

He has been following Xiao Wenxuan for more than 20 years. He knows him very well. His forbearance in these years is also for the stability of the state of Dayu. Otherwise, the state of Dayu would have been in chaos.

With a frown, Xiao Wenxuan said: "actually, it's not difficult. If it's really the second prince who did it, I have to give Xiao Ming an account this time. For the state of Dayu, Xiao Ming is more important than King Liang."

Yang Zhen nodded, "it's true. After all, the king of Qi is a royal man."

At this time, Xiao Ming has got the confession of Shanxi merchants.

After Li San reported the situation to Xiao Ming, he left the city. When he came, the secret guards were interrogating Shanxi merchants. When he went back, the secret guards had recorded a confession.

At this time, Li San immediately sent the confession.

"Your Highness, this Shanxi Merchant recruited. The second prince really ordered him to sell these barbarians to the East Palace, and the king of Liang also knew about this. These barbarians came from the feudal land of the king of Liang."

Li San gives the confession to Xiao Ming.

After reviewing the confession, Xiao Ming nodded, because he was basically determined to be the second prince, because it was not long before he defeated Beishan that the barbarians could not deploy killers to enter Chang'an city so quickly, and there must be a convenient way for these barbarians to come in.

"It's time to avenge the dead soldiers." Xiao Ming said, "now you can bring the Shanxi Merchants in."

For safety, Xiao Ming asks Li San to place the Shanxi Merchant outside the city to prevent danger. Now he can go directly to Xiao Wenxuan to explain the matter clearly. Otherwise, how can he explain to the dead soldiers, and how will the Qingzhou army treat him as the king of Qi.

They fight for themselves in the battlefield, but he can't even get justice back. Who will work for themselves in the future.

This time, he will let his soldiers understand that they are loyal and brave to kill the enemy, and he will not lose them either.

"Yes Li San's speech was also loud, which made him quite angry.

When Li San leaves, Xiao Ming comes out of the main hall.

At this time, Fei yue'er was lying in front of the window. She saw Xiao Ming's face was very ugly, and her eyes were slightly worried. When Xiao Ming turned to look at her, she dodged and immediately lowered her head, for fear that the fire in the city gate would hurt the fish. This was taught by her sister before she got married, so that the prince would always be angry with her.

Looking at Fei yue'er like a frightened deer, Xiao Ming's gloomy face faded.

With a helpless smile, he went straight to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiao Ming went straight to the imperial study. Without waiting for Xiao Ming to speak, Xiao Wenxuan said, "it seems that you already have the assassin clue."

"My father already knows?" Xiao Ming said unexpectedly.

"Don't forget that this is Chang'an City, but father Huang is ashamed that he didn't find your second brother's little action." Xiao Wenxuan sighed. Like Xiao Ming, when he learned that it was Shanxi merchants, he basically guessed that it was the second prince.

"In that case, I hope my father will be the emperor." Xiao Ming hands the confession to Xiao Wenxuan.

After receiving the confession, Xiao Wenxuan simply scanned his eyes, sighed and said: "second, you are so anxious."

After pacing in the same place, Xiao Wenxuan continued: "you can give Shanxi merchants to me. I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Er Chen has asked people to take the Shanxi Merchant into the palace." Xiao Ming's words are concise and comprehensive.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, seemed to be very tired, waved to Xiao Ming, he said: "according to your mother, you still have a few days to leave Chang'an, you'd better go back to prepare now."

"Yes, father." Xiao Ming bowed and turned to leave.

He is not afraid of Xiao Wenxuan's peace. If Xiao Wenxuan is still like this, he can only gradually alienate the imperial court.

After Xiao Ming left, Xiao Wenxuan sat in his chair and thought for a long time, then wrote on a blank imperial edict.

Now Xiao Ming doesn't have to go to court or take part in the government affairs of Chang'an. After all, he is a vassal, which is equivalent to becoming a country of his own. Interference in the government affairs is taboo.

In the next few days, Chang'an City, which was originally noisy because of Xiao Ming's big marriage, became more and more heated and noisy. The rumors that the second prince assassinated the king of Qi and framed the prince suddenly became very popular.The whole Chang'an city was full of legends all over the place for a while.

Then a holy order was sent down. The second prince didn't cultivate morality, killed his brothers and had no respect for the law. From then on, he denounced Bashan and became a commoner.

At this point, the situation about the assassination gradually subsided with the imperial edict, and the whole Chang'an city suddenly became alarmed.

After Xiao Wenxuan had been beaten for more than ten years as a coward, this time he was shocked. In view of the assassination, the emperor showed a strong side. He was not afraid of the anger of King Liang and exiled the second prince to Bashan, a barren place.

In Chang'an's officialdom, many officials interpreted Xiao Wenxuan's tough move as the fact that the royal power has greatly increased, and they are no longer afraid of the vassal King's self-respect.

At the same time, what they understand most thoroughly is Xiao Ming's role in this incident.

In order to appease Xiao Ming's anger, Xiao Wenxuan exiles the second prince supported by the king of Liang, which shows Xiao Ming's status in Xiao Wenxuan's heart.

At this time, the other princes also put away their contempt for Xiao Ming. It suddenly dawned on them that the court is not what it used to be.

The rising vassal states in the East will affect their lives all the time in the future.

With this answer, Xiao Ming chose to return to Qingzhou in the afternoon when the edict was issued.

This time, he went back by merchant ship. After all, only gifts are big enough.

Looking at the shadow of Guanzhong City Chang'an gradually away, Xiao Ming's mouth with a trace of smile, his wife married back, it's time to save the family to live a small life.
