Chapter 159 Losing Popular Support

Concubine Zhao said coldly, her beautiful face full of solemnity. "Your Majesty, do you think that as you grow up and your wings become stronger, you will be able to escape the constraints of this palace? Calculation Yun Fu Qing, Who asked you to carry out this plan to kill 90,000 Yun family troops? Have I told you before that Yun Fuqing cannot be easily moved...the Yun family army cannot be eradicated in this way?"

Xiao Xuanrui's eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look into Concubine Zhao's eyes. Concubine Zhao felt as if a storm was rising in her heart. She stared at his face: "Do you think that this method can be used to eradicate Yun Fuqing and trap and kill Yun?" Family Army, can you perform meritorious service to your father and please him, bringing you one step closer to the position of prince?"

From childhood to adulthood, every step he took was planned by her. Over the years, he followed the path she designated little by little. He went smoothly and was invincible. The court, the harem, and the people, I don’t know. How much power she had accumulated belonging to Prince Rui. This was all created by her step by step. She really didn't expect that the balance she had created over the years would be broken by her own son. His wings hardened, and he began to Gradually he stopped listening to her. When he rebelled for the first time, he radically eradicated Yun Fuqing and killed 90,000 Yun family troops. Concubine Zhao was so angry that her face turned pale. Xiao Xuanrui didn't think she had done anything wrong. He replied in a deep voice: "Mother, whether you admit it or not, after this incident, my father not only saw my son's ability, but also doted on him even more. Everything I did was to share my father's worries." ..." There was a "pop" sound. Before he could finish his words, Concubine Zhao slammed the tea cup in her hand at Xiao Xuanrui's head. Xiao Xuanrui was startled, and he quickly turned his head to avoid it. The tea cup fell to the ground. In the open space, what followed was the violent storm of Concubine Zhao. "Idiot, you are really an idiot..." "In order to please your father, you did such an outrageous thing, Xiao Xuanrui, how can you do it?" I know. You have completely lost the support of the people and completely ruined my years of planning? Do you think that by doing these big things without telling me, you can make me look at you with admiration? Oh, in my eyes, In the eyes of the palace, you are still ignorant and extremely stupid."

"Courtesy, concubine, people... Once these three are out of balance, do you know what you will face? You use such ruthless means to get rid of the loyal ministers and generals of the Southern Prefecture. What do you want the ministers who rely on you to think? What do you want? How do the people view you as a wise king?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes were red, and she scolded hysterically: "As long as you lose the hearts of your subjects, no matter how much favor you have from the emperor, it will be useless. That favor is like a high-altitude castle, without any support. As long as the strong wind blows gently , it will inevitably collapse and everything will be shattered to pieces.”

Her eyes were full of disappointment. This is the son she has trained for more than twenty years. Hehe, he spent all her efforts, but in the end, he is still a reckless man. He is brave and has ruthless means, but he doesn't understand. The art of the emperor. Xiao Xuanrui looked at Concubine Zhao with a pale face. He was stunned for a long time before he gradually understood the meaning of Concubine Zhao's words. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked: "Concubine, concubine... son, have you really done something wrong? ?”

Concubine Zhao sneered and stood up slowly. Without looking at Xiao Xuanrui again, Xiao Xuanrui rushed forward and grabbed her skirt: "Concubine, everything is settled now, and my son and I have not been implicated in any way. You What we were worried about would never happen... Although this process was extremely thrilling, Erchen still won. Didn't King Yi and Zhao Yun take the blame for Erchen? The subjects of Nanchu would never have thought of this. It was my son who did it..." Concubine Zhao shook Xiao Xuanrui away fiercely. She stared at him with a condescending expression and said indifferently: "Someone else took the blame for you, but not everyone is a fool. As long as they are a little smart, You can think of who the real murderer is..." "Those ministers, do you think they are stupid? After this time, if you don't repair it well, do you think those ministers who are attached to you will still be loyal? Are you loyal to me, Geng Geng? They don’t hope that helping you ascend to the position of crown prince will mean their death..." "Your Majesty, you must listen to me from now on, and you must not make any arbitrary decisions again, otherwise you will just leave. The position of Crown Prince is getting further and further away. My Zhao Waner's son will definitely not be a mediocre person, don't you think so?"

Xiao Xuanrui was startled, and there was a bit of unwillingness in his eyes. He clenched his fists, and after several hesitations he finally gave in. He lowered his eyes and leaned down and prostrated. "I would like to obey my mother's instructions..." Concubine Zhao closed her eyes. He whispered: "You leave the palace immediately... put on mourning clothes and go to the Yun family to keep vigil for the general. No matter how hard the Yun family tries to obstruct you, you must not retreat and leave."

"If they don't let you enter the gate of Yun Mansion, you will kneel at the door. If there are people watching, tell them that General Zhenguo was murdered by King Yi. In order to atone for your brother's sin, you are willing to abandon him. As a prince, I am here to watch over the general’s soul and atone for his sins.”

Xiao Xuanrui's eyes were full of surprise, and he looked at Concubine Zhao in disbelief. "Concubine, you...you actually asked me, a majestic king, to watch the funeral of a minister? This, this is not in line with the rules..." Concubine Zhao interrupted him. If so, just say: "Do you still want the lost public support?"

This sentence completely blocked Xiao Xuanrui's next words. After that, Concubine Zhao ordered a few more things, undoubtedly not to ask him to submit to the Yun family. Xiao Xuanrui really couldn't figure out why Concubine Zhao asked him to do this. She was extremely unwilling and extremely annoyed. Concubine Zhao didn't care at all, how he resisted. After she finished her instructions, she called someone into the palace. "Zhao Yun has fallen, you can't have anyone by your side... I will arrange for another person for you." .His name is Chu Ying, and he is known as the Ghost-faced Young Master in the world. He is a clever strategist and is the best at reading people's hearts. When you act in the future, you'd better ask his opinion first..." After Concubine Zhao said this, she left. Xiao Xuanrui He raised his eyes and looked at the person walking in from outside the palace. Chu Ying was wearing a light blue robe, with a clear face and a gentle temperament. At first glance, he looked like a handsome young man with a faint smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. He held a folding fan in his hand. He walked up to Xiao Xuanrui, bowed and saluted: "My subordinates pay homage to His Royal Highness Prince Rui..." Xiao Xuanrui raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of anger: "I am kneeling, you Is there anything wrong with standing...?"
