After the Ye Family beheaded and showed their faces to the public, the Annual Entrance of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom was coming.
The cold wind whistled and the snow swirled about.
The white snow would cover the entire land, covering everything in a vast expanse of white, as if it could hide all the filth and filth. The glowing white light seemed to illuminate all the darkness.
On the branches of Prince Chen's Mansion's backyard, on the stone bench, on the stone table, and on the vines were snow. Old Meng had brought a servant to clean up all the snow on the stone table and by the stone bench.
Set up the already hot wine and some side dishes with the wine.
"Enjoy the snow, drink the wine, and talk loudly. "It's quite elegant." Shen Haoxuan teased slowly while shaking his tasseled fan, his face had a carefree smile hanging on it.
After he discarded the fan he loved earlier, he immediately sent someone to make a new one. Just as he finished making the new one, he impatiently started using it.
Xie Qingrong lifted the hem of her skirt to the side and sat down on the stone chair without a care. She picked up the wine jug and poured herself a cup.
As the warm wine entered his throat, his stomach began to warm up even though it was still extremely spicy. Holding the wine cup in his hand, his gaze landed on a small branch not too far away.
Xuanyuan Chen followed Xie Qingrong's line of sight to that small branch, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Xie Qingrong, who had just woken up from her daze, shook her head and said with a smile: "Nothing."
"Your highness, the Ye Family's matter has finally come to a perfect end. What plans do you have for the future?" Shen Haoxuan toasted Xuanyuan Chen with his wine cup.
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at Shen Haoxuan indifferently, and said: "The Hundred Feet Worm is dead, but the Ye Family still has many branch family members, it will be hard on A Rong and Hao Xuan during this period, so you need to hurry up and grasp the Ye Family's property."
He had already instructed the green dragon and white tiger to compile all the Ye Family's assets that they had owned over the years, to help Shen Haoxuan and Xie Qingrong gather all the hidden assets that they did not want to see.
"Your Highness, the New Year is approaching, Wu Huan is already restless, I am afraid there will be a bloodbath in the coming year." Shen Haoxuan sighed.
Heavenly Sage Kingdom had just completely wiped out the Ye Family and cleared out some of the supporters of the Ye Family. Some of the people who were involved in this were replaced with fresh blood.
At this time, the Heavenly Sage was at his weakest, if Wu Huan took the opportunity to start a war, wouldn't the Heavenly Sage be trapped in a crisis that would affect both internal and external affairs?
What's more, Chu Yue and his country were eyeing him covetously.
Xie Qingrong took a sip of the warm wine and asked with some confusion: "According to the records in the" National Policy ", although Wu Huan is vast and has many territories, he cannot be considered a nation. He can only be called a tribe. What enmity do they have with the Heavenly Sage? They actually want to become enemies with the Heavenly Sage? "
This matter had puzzled her for a long time.
Wu Huan had no reason to start a war with the Heavenly Sage, obviously the most advantageous development would be a friendship between two nations, but Wu Huan had been hostile to the Heavenly Sage for so many years, and had a posture of not giving up until one side died.
Shen Haoxuan slowly sighed, this matter could be considered to be an old story, a secret of the imperial family.
Xuanyuan Chen lowered his eyes, thinking about something.
Xie Qingrong waited for Xuanyuan Chen to give her an answer, but seeing that Xuanyuan Chen was silent for a long time, she became even more curious, "What? You can't say it? "
Shen Haoxuan said: "It's not that I can't tell you, but this matter is a long story, and we have to learn from it..."
"Shen Haoxuan." Shen Haoxuan had not finished speaking when he was coldly interrupted. He stared fixedly at Xie Qingrong for a long while, then said: "This matter involves the secret of the Xuanyuan Imperial Family, a matter that happened a hundred years ago between the Xuanyuan Imperial Family and the person in charge of controlling the Wu Huan Tribe."
Xie Qingrong nodded, indicating that she understood. Although she was very curious, but in the face of an unknown danger, she still chose to not know about this option.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Chen started to narrate the story of the past.
A hundred years ago, with the help of the Mo family, Emperor Taizu obtained the throne and established the Heavenly Sage Kingdom. The Mo family was the founder of the country, bestowing the title of nobility to all families. However, the Mo family had done a great deed, and their ambition was getting bigger and bigger. Under the greed for money, they actually did something that would harm the Heavenly Sage.
Emperor Taizu had no choice but to expel the Mo family from the Heavenly Sage Realm and banish them to the land of cold and suffering, which was the distant Mo Bei. Afterwards, the Mo family gave themselves the title of king and became the rulers of the Wu Huan Tribe.
For the past hundred years, he had never stopped fighting with the Mo Bei.
"I see. But why is there no record of it in the National Policy?" Xie Qingrong asked.
Xuanyuan Chen said indifferently: "The Great Ancestor was kind. After all, the Mo family had helped him ascend the throne to become emperor, so this matter was not recorded in the records. However, every single Monarch of the Heavenly Sage will know about this. "
Xie Qingrong said: "But you are not the emperor of the Heavenly Sage, how do you know?"
"When royal brother was still the crown prince, royal father told royal brother about the secret of the royal family, when royal brother was free, he told me about it as a joke, and I forgot about it when I finished listening, it was only when I led my troops to go to the Mo Bei did I remember about it." Xuanyuan Chen explained.
Back then, Xuanyuan Chen was still young, the matriarch was a Queen Zhangsun, and with the indulgence of the crown prince, Xuanyuan Rui, even if the Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to punish them, they would have been strongly advised by the Queen Zhangsun and Xuanyuan Rui.
As a result, he became increasingly mischievous, arrogant and despotic. He was the Demon Lord who gave the entire capital a headache.
Until Xuanyuan Chen accidentally broke the birthday present Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to give to Queen Zhangsun, when Emperor Xuanyuan was enraged, he sent Xuanyuan Chen to the army.
Xuanyuan Chen had been properly honed in the army camp, and had performed a proud deed before being transferred back to the capital.
However, the youth who should have been the most high-spirited and well-dressed was actually forced to break his wings. His most respected royal brother had been forced to fall off the cliff and die.
He had finally grown up and became the current Prince Chen who was calm and collected, calm and composed.
"If Wu Huan were to send his troops, does the Heavenly Sage have a big chance of winning?" Xie Qingrong interrupted her memories.
Xuanyuan Chen shook his head, "If it was only Wu Huan, the Heavenly Sage would have had a complete chance of winning, but once Wu Huan attacks the Heavenly Sage, the Chu Country would send out their troops, causing the water in the pond to become even more muddy. If the Heavenly Sage were to face the enemy from the back, it would be hard for him to fight with four hands on two fists. "
If this continued, the situation would become even worse.
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, then suddenly thought about the peace agreement he signed with the Regent King of the Yue Country when they went to the Yue Country to retrieve the Soul-Breaking Grass. "Chen, do you still remember the agreement she made with the Yue Country?
"The Yue Country will not join hands with the Heavenly Saint." Xuanyuan Chen stood up and analyzed: "Chu Country's Princess An Yue will be departing from Chu Country in the next day, heading to Yue Country to get married with Regent King Qi Yun.
"Once the marriage between Chu Country and I is successful, then the agreement between Qi Yun and I will not count. Even if Yue Country doesn't join hands with Chu Country, they will still only be watching from the sidelines. "
