Wuyun Kingdom Palace
In the imperial study, Xiao Jingrui, who was wearing a yellow dragon robe, was reviewing the memorial, when suddenly a man in black appeared in front of him.
Xiao Jingrui didn't lift his head, holding a brush, he kept drawing circles in the memorial, and coldly spit out a word, "Speak!"
"Your Majesty, the first plan failed!" The man in black reported to Xiao Jingrui.
Xiao Jingrui's face suddenly became gloomy, and two words were spit out in his mouth, "Continue!"
The man in black lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the spy came to report that Zhou Wenya's identity has been revealed, but after hearing the marriage of Lin Yuelan, the princess of Guguo of the Longyan Dynasty, and Jiang Zhennan, the general of Zhenguo, she was immediately mad. His Majesty the Longyan Dynasty is locked in the Heavenly Prison..."
After hearing about Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan's marriage, Xiao Jingrui suddenly flashed a fierce light in his eyes. He put down the pen, raised his head, looked at the man in black with a cold and stern expression, and asked, "You mean that Zhou Wenya heard the two People get mad when they get married?"
The man in black responded, "Yes!"
"Why?" The woman Zhou Wenya, he has seen and knows her very well, it is absolutely impossible for him to be mad when he hears that they are going to get married.
Although he is not in the imperial city of the Longyan Dynasty, he has sent countless spies to enter, and he knows everything about the capital of the Longyan Dynasty.
He received the news immediately that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan were getting married.
Therefore, he immediately felt that the opportunity was coming, and immediately deployed all plans.
His main purpose is to get Jiang Zhennan down.
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Xiao Jingrui's brows moved slightly, and he was satisfied and puzzled, "Could it be that Yuwen Longyan, the old emperor, really trusts the two of them so much?"
The emperor is ruthless!
Many people say that it is not about the relationship between men and women, but more about the relationship between father and son, brotherhood and the relationship between ruler and minister.
Many times, the reason why the emperor is ruthless is because the person who becomes the emperor will become suspicious and have all kinds of suspicions about people, whether it is husband and wife, children, let alone between rulers and ministers.
He had investigated Yuwen Longyan, and knew him very well. Of course, he knew that Yuwen Longyan, the emperor, was also suspicious.
So, he doesn't care how much Yuwen Longyan favors Jiang Zhennan, but what if it involves the golden dragon chair under his ass?
Will he continue to trust the same?
Therefore, this is his first plan - provocation.
Use the marriage between them to make a fuss, and then use the public opinion to point the two of them. After that, with the mining of two mines as evidence, everything was implemented.
He wanted to see what kind of trust the old emperor Yuwen Longyan had for the two of them.
But the information that the spy reported back surprised him greatly, and seemed to be expected, otherwise, he would not have a second plan.
but…
Xiao Jingrui frowned slightly and asked with some doubts, "Zhou Wenya has become a lunatic? Why?"
The moment Zhou Wenya's identity was revealed, she had no use value.
Her role in this existence is naturally to achieve a greater role.
When those conspiracies were exposed, if she could escape, she was considered capable, but if she couldn't escape, it was her life.
Anyway, her exposure has no effect on his next plan.
But how could she suddenly go crazy?
Black Clothes Hui reported, "Back to the master, according to the spies, Zhou Wenya became a lunatic because he heard that the General Zhenguo of the Longyan Dynasty married their Princess Guguo as a man..."
"What?" After Xiao Jingrui heard this, his eyes widened, feeling very unbelievable, he said sharply, "Tell me again, what happened to them?"
The man in black was stunned for a while, and after a while, when he reacted, he immediately reported carefully, "Emperor Long Yanguo has announced to the whole country that Jiang Zhennan, the general of Zhenguo, will marry Yu Gu on the sixth day of September after Qiuhou. Princess Lin Yuelan of the country, the whole country celebrates, and for this reason, the farmers' tax is reduced or exempted for one year..."
The man in black lowered his head and reported cautiously, but his heart was very frightened. His Majesty, who was so gloomy as a storm was coming, was the most terrifying, and could kill people without a trace, no matter who it was.
In the two years when Xiao Jingrui ascended the throne, although he had been secretly supported by many ministers in the court, it was still full of blood and brutality.
Anyone who opposes, kill!
Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed!
Anyone who has an opinion, kill!
Gradually, those who disagreed with him in the imperial court disappeared, and those who disagreed or not, no longer had any voice.
Hearing the subordinate's report, Xiao Jingrui flicked the brush in his hand, and then clenched one hand into a fist, facing the table, and drooping heavily, shouting angrily, "Useless things, such important information, are not given. I found it!"
If he had known that Jiang Zhennan married Lin Yuelan, then his plan would have to be redeployed instead of making such a big joke in their eyes.
No wonder, Zhou Wenya's identity is so easily exposed, and the problem is her relationship.
The man in black looked at the angry His Majesty, he didn't dare to let out a breath, lowered his head, and knelt quietly.
Afterwards, Xiao Jingrui asked sharply, "Let the person in charge accept the punishment himself!"
It is not easy to cultivate a spy, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a spy.
Although he was brutal, he was also an emperor with great ambitions. He didn't want to kill these people because of impulsiveness, but everything that he had built up with great difficulty was ruined by his anger.
Xiao Jingrui is not an impulsive person with strong restraint and forbearance, otherwise, after he ascended the throne, he committed so many brutal killings of ministers, it would definitely arouse the anger and protest of the entire court and the people of the country. .
Every emperor's path to ascendancy is a path of **** killing. After becoming an emperor, in order to eliminate dissidents, killing is inevitable.
But the history of success and failure is rewritten by the victors.
Although Xiao Jingrui was a brutal emperor in the imperial court, in the eyes of the people of Wuyun Kingdom, he was an enlightened and good emperor.
Because this new emperor has made a series of reform measures for the common people since he ascended the throne.
The first is to introduce Longyanguo's rice cultivation method, don't ask him how he knows. He sent a large number of spies to Longyan Kingdom, and Longyan Kingdom has been promoted nationwide. It is very simple to get this rice cultivation method.
Later, the effect was delighted to hear, and the people all praised the wiseness of the new emperor.
Secondly, like the Longyan Dynasty, a dictionary of the Wuyun Kingdom was compiled.
Due to the regional differences between Wuyunguo and Longyanguo, and without the guidance of Lin Yuelan, the inventor of the Pinyin alphabet, it was difficult for the Hanlin Academy to compile a dictionary.
However, Xiao Jingrui was a far-sighted king. He believed that this "dictionary" would definitely bring about major changes to the Wuyun Kingdom. Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, the compilation of the dictionary must persist.
Finally, Xiao Jingrui also vigorously promoted the application of Arabic numerals.
In short, for Xiao Jingrui, he will use tough means to carry out all measures that are beneficial to the development of the country.
In the past two years, this series of beneficial measures has brought about great changes.
At least, the lives of the common people have also improved significantly, and the national economic level has also improved by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, for the common people, the emperor is a good emperor, a benevolent king who can think of the common people.
But to the powerful and powerful of the court, the emperor Xiao Jingrui is a tyrant with means and cruelty. If he disagrees, he will kill, kill, kill.
He had killed more than half of some old officials in the court, and then quickly promoted some talented newcomers.
Perhaps this is the so-called generation of kings, a generation of courtiers!
Xiao Jingrui's ambition is not only the emperor of the Wuyun Kingdom, he wants to be the overlord of the world and become the unified emperor of the world!
According to his plan, after he ascends the throne, he must take down the Longyan Kingdom within ten years.
As long as the Longyan Kingdom is taken, the land area will expand, the population will increase, and the combat power will be enhanced, then it will be much easier to win the Oolong Kingdom.
Several generations of kings of Wuyun Kingdom have always wanted to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestry, but the so-called recognition of their ancestors and their ancestry did not mean that they wanted to merge their own country into Wulong Kingdom, but to seize Wulong Kingdom back, and then, in the ancestral hall , to offer up the tablet of one's ancestors.
Xiao Jingrui, as the Xiao family, is destined to have such an obsession with this bloodline inheritance.
As long as Longyan Kingdom and Oolong Kingdom are taken down, as for other countries, it is not easy to capture.
However, despite all the calculations, he didn't even calculate it, and suddenly a Lin Yuelan appeared.
This Lin Yuelan was just an ordinary peasant girl, and Jiang Zhennan took a fancy to it.
There was no threat to him at all.
On the battlefield, Jiang Zhennan is heroic and invincible, resourceful, and indistinguishable from Xiao Jingrui, but to play conspiracy and tricks on the court, Jiang Zhennan is just a toddler in front of Xiao Jingrui.
Therefore, before he successfully ascended the throne, he did not want to design Jiang Zhennan, but made wedding dresses for others.
Because once Jiang Zhennan was removed, it would be much easier for Wuyunguo to conquer Longyanguo, but he was just an inconspicuous but suspicious prince. In the eyes of everyone, he was not qualified to ascend to the throne at all.
In this way, his enemies, the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Wuyun Kingdom, were taken advantage of.
Therefore, he kept Jiang Zhennan all the time.
But things are unpredictable. I didn't expect that Jiang Zhennan would have a right-hand man after he had planned for so long and before he started to ascend the throne.
Oh, this person is not just the wife of Jiang Zhennan's assistant, it's that simple.
She is simply the lucky star of Longyan Kingdom.
Maybe many people don't know, but how could he not know that the rapid development of Long Yanguo in recent years and the reform of various measures are inseparable from her.
In less than three years, Longyan Kingdom has developed into a powerful country that keeps pace with Wuyun Kingdom.
At this time, it became extremely difficult for him to get rid of Jiang Zhennan.
Xiao Jingrui's gloomy and Hansen face showed a sneer and said, "Lin Yuelan, you are my nemesis! It seems that I have to do it!"
