When it comes to this matter, the emperor becomes extremely angry.
The emperor slammed the table and stood up heavily: "Rebel! He's a rebel! I'm not even dead yet, and he's in such a hurry to seize the throne. What's his rush? I had intended to pass the throne to him, but he's so impatient, daring to collude with Xiao Zheng, that traitor!"
"How should we handle this? Xiao Zheng should be executed on the spot! As for the crown prince... bring him back, I want to question him personally."
Saying that, the chief eunuch by the emperor's side presented a Tiger tally.
"From today on, all Imperial Guards, the Imperial Forest Army, and The Office of the Grand Council will be under your command," the emperor's tone was meaningful, "Do not disappoint Us, Xuanyao."
You Xuanyao bowed halfway to the ground and said, "I obey the command."
Leaving the palace, Cang Shen lowered his voice beside me and said, "I inquired about the prince before coming here and I don't think he has the courage to rebel. It's probably the Western Region Prince who's inciting him."
"But from the Western Region to Chang'an, six states along the way have been attacked and their cities ravaged. Whether he's inciting or not is no longer important. Those lives should all be counted on his head," You Xuanyao said coldly. "Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Xiao Zheng and the prince wouldn't dare to attack without full confidence. I guess there might be their people hidden in Chang'an. You should send someone to investigate. Xiao Rong might be in the city."
Cang Shen was shocked, "Would Xiao Rong dare to stay openly in Chang'an?"
You Xuanyao raised a contemptuous arc at the corner of his lips: "He dares to present A ge openly in front of me, what else wouldn't he dare to do?"
Speaking of this, Cang Shen couldn't help but touch his jaw: "General, do you think... what is the relationship between the lady and that Xiao Rong? I think the lady is really under a spell, otherwise how could she hurt you and go to save that Xiao Rong?"
You Xuanyao's eyes darkened, and he kicked him: "Go do your job, the intelligence report says that Xiao Zheng and the Crown Prince will lead the troops to the outskirts of Chang'an tomorrow, so let the soldiers be prepared."
Even different from the fighting at the frontier, You Xuanyao could anticipate that this would be an unpredictable and bloody battle. Cang Shen quickly put away his curious thoughts and resumed a serious expression: "Yes, General. Where are you going now?" You Xuanyao mounted his horse and looked into the distance: "I'm going back to You mansion... I want to offer incense to my parents."
Cang Shen "Yes," he said, pursing his lips and lowering his head.
You Xuanyao He rode his horse at a steady pace along the long street.
The Chang'an street was quiet and still.
Everyone knows that Chang'an will soon see a bloody event, perhaps even a world-shaking one. Those who can run have already fled, while those who cannot hide at home, praying for the protection of the Buddha. You Xuanyao rides through the long street, the sound of hooves crushing fallen leaves echoing crisply.
From a distance, he saw that You mansion had already been renovated. Two years ago, the big fire almost burned down the entire You mansion. When he left Chang'an, You mansion had not been repaired. You Xuanyao stopped in front of the mansion, dismounted, and stared at the newly made plaque for a long time.
Just as he was about to step inside, the door of You mansion suddenly pushed open from the inside. Several house servants rushed out in a panic, shouting, "Help—there's a ghost!" You Xuanyao frowned and grabbed one of them, asking, "What's going on? What ghost?"
House servant Still in shock, I barely recognized the person in front of me and immediately knelt down in front of You Xuanyao: "General! You're back, you need to leave here, there are ghosts inside!"
"The ghost of the young lady has returned!"
