Chapter 43 Inside Story

The withdrawal of the imperial court was beyond everyone's expectations.

Because everyone knows the importance of this war.

Once the court chooses to retreat or lose the war, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the entire Shenzhou will fall into a storm.

Therefore, the court cannot retreat, let alone defeat.

Even if the situation of the war is expanded, the court has reason to persist.

The problem is.

This time, five masters were dispatched, including Su Runfu and Zhong Liyuan, who were in the rescue army.

Seven masters are in charge.

The court had no chance of winning.

In particular, the death of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi has an indelible relationship with the court.

If the court gritted the bullet and fought to the death with Yunxiao Palace, it would undoubtedly end up in a more tragic way.

Weigh the pros and cons.

The court's decision to withdraw its troops seemed to be reasonable.

The court does not care about sacrifice, only about meaningless sacrifice.

Perhaps in the eyes of the court, the nature of this war has quietly changed, so there is no need to persist in fighting.

"Xuan Huazi, Xuan Mingzi, are you sure the court really plans to withdraw its troops?"

In fact, after hearing this news, Xuan Lingzi was also stunned for a moment.

But he obviously did not believe that the court would bow his head so easily.

"Reporting to my senior brother, according to my junior brother's opinion, the court's withdrawal measures this time are indeed not like a false statement."

Xuan Huazi, with a clear face, said with a serious face.

"Why do you say this?"

Xuan Lingzi asked.

"Because when my junior brother and Senior Brother Xuan Mingzi went to the imperial camp, the imperial army in the camp had already been cleaned up, and seemed to be just waiting to pull out the camp and start the camp..." Xuan Huazi said slowly. "From this point, the imperial withdrawal was not a temporary intention."

"The key is that Duke of Defense."

Xuan Mingzi said in time.

"Duke of the Kingdom of Defense?"

Xuan Lingzi immediately puzzled.

Of course he knew the Duke of Wei that Xuan Mingzi mentioned.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, six hereditary Dukes who were not reborn as the country were enthroned, and Duke Wei was one of them.

Until today.

The descendants of these six dukes have long been one with the royal family of the dynasty.

The most powerful ones are Duke Wei, who is in charge of military power and Duke Wei, who is in charge of government affairs.

These two dukes can be regarded as two pillars inside and outside the court.

Especially the Duke of Wei, who is now seventy years old.

In the seventh year of Jianxing in the Great Jin Dynasty.

It was this Duke of Wei who led his army to successfully suppress the savior army, and at the same time fought against Su Yuanhong, which calmed down the situation in the Lizhou Province in one fell swoop.

In the 11th year of Jianxing of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Northern Barbarians invaded.

It was the Duke of Wei who led his army north to resist the Northern Barbarians, and eventually forced the Northern Barbarians to reach a peace agreement with the court.

History is like a cycle of reincarnation.

This time.

The Duke of Wei's troops pointed at the rescue army again, but this time his opponent was replaced by Su Yuanhong's son Su Yunxiao.

As we all know.

This Duke of Wei was good at using troops on the battlefield for a long time, and his combat style was flexible and changeable, and he was known as an old fox.

In other words.

If you plan the right direction, then move, and know the stop and gain something.

If the imperial court's withdrawal was decided by the Duke of Wei, it is hard not to doubt the profound meaning behind it.

"From our negotiations with the other party, there seems to be problems within the court."

Xuan Mingzi hurriedly said.

"According to the meaning revealed by this Duke of Wei, the emperor of the dynasty seems to be in trouble."

Xuan Huazi immediately added.

"Is the emperor going to die?"

Xuan Lingzi felt a little surprised.

"It's not only that." Xuan Mingzi continued. "Duke of Wei once mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally that the emperor of the dynasty has always been in good health and has not been infected in these years. He also wondered why the emperor was suddenly in danger..."

"Senior Brother Xuan Mingzi, do you remember that this Duke of Wei murmured to himself." Xuan Huazi reminded.

"Of course." Xuan Mingzi nodded. "This old duke seems to be worried about a change in the capital for the throne!"

"In other words, the other party suspected that the emperor's dying might be related to the prince of the current dynasty?"

Xuan Lingzi pondered for a moment.

"It's indeed possible." Xuan Mingzi said thoughtfully. "Senior brother, you and I know that once the emperor of the dynasty dies, the most likely person to inherit the throne is the prince supported by Duke Wei and the seventh prince supported by Duke Wei. Now Duke Wei is leading troops outside, but Duke Wei is staying in the capital. If Duke Wei supports the seventh prince to launch a palace change, the prince will be unable to resist..."

"But what we should be most concerned about now is the death of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi, rather than the dispute within the court!"

Xuan Kuizi, who had a gloomy face, suddenly spoke.

"Senior Brother Xuan Kuizi, have you ever thought about it, what if the death of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi were involved in this court's battle for the throne?"

Xuan Huazi shook his head and said.

"What's the meaning?!"

Xuan Kuizi stared at Xuan Huazi and said.

"Xuan Kuizi! Be careful not to be impatient!" Xuan Lingzi, who was in the main position, glanced at Xuan Kuizi silently and said, "Junior Brother Rong Xuanhuazi finished speaking."

"Senior Brother!" Xuan Huazi said in a deep voice to Xuan Lingzi. "On the way back, my junior brother was thinking. Is it necessary for the court to anger our Yunxiao Palace at the moment? You must know that this is obviously a detrimental matter, because the court cannot bear the anger brought down by our Yunxiao Palace..."

"Tell me the point!" Xuan Kuizi immediately said impatiently.

"Senior brother, don't worry." Xuan Huazi took a deep breath and said. "What if someone hopes that our Yunxiao Palace can retain the imperial army outside the city?"

"I understand what junior brother means." Xuan Lingzi said with half-squinted eyes. "Someone wants to use a knife to kill people to do convenient things."

"Then the Duke of Wei finally made it clear that he would definitely give us an explanation in the future."

Xuan Huazi said.

"Then let Xuan Zhenzi Xuan Yangzi die for the time being?"

Xuan Kuizi slapped the table immediately after hearing this.

"Xuan Kuizi, the court has taken the initiative to bow to our Yunxiao Palace, and promised to give Xuan Zhenzi a statement of death in the future. Since that is the case, we might as well give the court some time. If the explanation given by the court cannot satisfy us, it will not be too late for us to pursue it."

Xuan Lingzi frowned slightly and said.

"It is not your Dongjitian people who die! You are naturally not in a hurry!"

Xuan Kuizi glared at Xuan Lingzi on the main position without fear.

"What do you want to do with the overall situation? Do you want to ignore the overall situation and make the whole situation out of control? Do you know what this means?"

Xuan Lingzi's face was as cold as frost.

"Senior Brother! I hope you don't forget!" Xuan Kuizi said word by word. "We are Yunxiao Palace!"

"I hope you don't forget too!" Xuan Lingzi stared at Xuan Kuizi with cold eyes and said, "The mission assigned to us by the Palace Master before leaving!"

"Do you only have tasks in your eyes?" Xuan Kuizi said without giving in.

"I will find out the deaths of Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi." Xuan Lingzi closed his eyes silently and said. "As for junior brother, you are no longer suitable to stay in Wanyang."

"You want to drive me away?"

Xuan Kuizi sneered when he heard this.
