First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 821

Chapter 821 The truth of the year (second update)

Lord Yanshan was silent for a long time, and then he said solemnly: "Great Yanjiang Mountain is about to run out of energy!"

At this moment, the three of them seemed to understand something.

If only "Ziweixing appears, the emperor emerges from Xuanyuan", then Shangguan Yan has half of Xuanyuan's blood flowing in her body, and she can definitely fulfill this prophecy.

But if we add that "the great Yan country is about to run out of energy", Shangguan Yan, who is the concubine of Great Yan, cannot be the prophesied emperor.

The Xuanyuan family will replace the Shangguan royal family and become the new royal family. This is the real reason why the monarch wants to kill all the Xuanyuan family bloodline.

Shangguan Yan turned to look at Mr. Yanshan who was sitting on the stool next to him: "You knew it a long time ago?"

Mr. Yanshan shook his fan and said, "It wasn't very early. I heard it accidentally outside His Majesty's Imperial Study Room a few years ago."

Shangguan Yan asked: "Then what else did you hear?"

Lord Yanshan sighed: "When I heard this prophecy, it was not the Imperial Master who took the initiative to tell His Majesty. It was leaked. Do you think His Majesty destroyed the Xuanyuan clan because of this prophecy? In fact, it was not the case. The prophecy was only one of the factors. , in fact, there are many inside stories.”

 Hearing this, the first doubt in the minds of the three people was solved.

Although the three people did not say anything, due to the special nature of the matter, the three people once doubted whether this prophecy was fabricated out of thin air.

 At the moment, it seems that the National Preceptor has indeed divined this prophecy, and may have paid a heavy price for it.

"The Imperial Master understands what this prophecy will bring to the Xuanyuan family. He does not plan to tell the Xuanyuan family to avoid causing the Xuanyuan family's rebellion, nor does he plan to tell the monarch to prevent the monarch from having murderous intentions towards the Xuanyuan family. But it is absolutely impossible. What I didn't expect was that there was a secret agent from the Jin Kingdom lurking in the Imperial Master's Palace.”

Na Xizuo was elected to the Imperial Preceptor's Hall at the age of eight and lurked for ten years. During these ten years, he never showed the slightest flaw. He finally gained the Imperial Preceptor's trust and became the first disciple of the Imperial Preceptor.

 He was also present when the National Preceptor made a divination.

 When the news spread, the Imperial Master realized that he had been betrayed.

The Imperial Preceptor dealt with him, but it was too late. The monarch and the Xuanyuan family had already heard the prophecy.

The Xuanyuan family had no objection at first, but the Xuanyuan family also knew that given the monarch's suspicious temperament, it would be difficult not to be wary of them.

The Xuanyuan family was ready to hand over their military power and return to their fields. But at this time, Jin and Liang took action.

 Jin is the first of the Six Kingdoms, which divides the status of the six countries. During the heyday of Jin, no country could take advantage of it, and it had absolute dominance.

 Subsequently, the Liang State rose, and with the recognition of the Jin State, the Liang State became the second superior state.

And for Dayan to ascend to the upper state, it must also be recognized by Jin and Liang.

These two countries were naturally unhappy. In those years, in order to prevent the rise of the Yan Kingdom, Jin and Liang often launched wars at the border. Not only that, they also secretly supported the civil forces of the Yan Kingdom to cause rebellion.

However, they did not expect that the Yan Kingdom, which was suffering from internal and external troubles and was in turmoil, would be forcibly resisted by the Xuanyuan family.

Xuanyuan Li's red-tasseled spear killed everyone in a panic.

Countless brave and skillful generals of Jin and Liang were killed by Xuanyuan Li's Hongying spear. Jin and Liang were defeated and did not dare to invade for several years.

 It's just that the good times don't last long.

Jin and Liang have always refused to accept the Yan State as a superior state because they understand that the Yan State with the Xuanyuan family is too powerful and unstoppable. Once it is allowed to develop, one day, the Xuanyuan army will break through the mountains and rivers of Jin and Liang.

 And everything is such a coincidence.

 While they were racking their brains to think about how to deal with the Yan Kingdom and the Xuanyuan family, the prophecy of the national master appeared.

 Their envoys took the initiative to come to the Yan Kingdom and put forward a tempting condition to the king of Yan - if the Xuanyuan family was destroyed, they would accept Dayan as one of the three kingdoms.

Not only did they share the use rights of sea areas and the mining rights of many islands with Dayan, they also allowed Dayan to work with them to expropriate the remaining three kingdoms.

Becoming a kingdom is not only an honor, but also brings a lot of practical benefits. It would be a lie to say that you are not motivated.

 The king at that time had two choices.

 One, let Xuanyuan Li lead troops to attack Jin and Liang until they are convinced.

  Second, accept the conditions proposed by Jin and Liang.

 “The king chose the second path.” Gu Jiao said.

 “That's right.” Mr. Yanshan sighed with regret.

At that time, the Xuanyuan family had the strength to fight against the armies of the two countries, but if they really won the battle, it would further enhance the Xuanyuan family's reputation among the people. They had already made great achievements, and they also wanted to give Xuanyuan the credit for becoming the Great Kingdom. Home?

Thinking of that prophecy again, how could the monarch dare to let the Xuanyuan family grow?

Yanshan Jun continued: "There is another small reason. Dayan has been at war for many years and the national treasury is in short supply. It is true that it cannot fight a war."

Gu Jiao glanced at him and said calmly: "Wouldn't it be possible to replenish the national treasury by copying a few more corrupt officials' mansions?"

 Jun Yanshan coughed slightly and said, "Ahem, that's why I said it was a minor reason, not the main reason."

Gu Jiao thought of what Nangong Li said to her before he died.

 So what he said was not "Jingyang", but "Jin and Liang". He knew that it was Jin's detailed work that spread the prophecy of the national division, and he also knew that Jin and Liang had seduced the king of Yan.

Gu Jiao touched her chin and murmured thoughtfully: "Indeed, how could a minister address the monarch by his first name?"

It's just that, although it was strange for Nangong Li to call the king like this, no one thought of it at that time.

If it was true that Jin and Liang had stabbed so many people in the back, no wonder she saw in her dream that Jin and Liang would take advantage of the civil strife in Yan to send troops to attack Dayan.

 Jin State and Liang State did not sincerely accept Yan State as the supreme state from the beginning. All this was just a delaying tactic. When the Xuanyuan family was destroyed and the Xuanyuan army was divided, the major aristocratic families would then exchange blood for the Xuanyuan army they had received.

Then Dayan will lose its strongest shield and its sharpest sword, and Dayan will no longer have the strength to compete with Jin and Liang.

At that time, the two countries of Jin and Liang will be able to swallow up the Yan Dynasty in one go.

Over the years, the Jin and Liang states allowed the Yan state to develop. On the one hand, they were waiting for the decline of the Xuanyuan family's military power, and on the other hand, they were feeding the little fat rabbit of the Yan state.

 It is fat, strong and has no attack power, so it is the best prey.

Would the king of Yan not know the thoughts of Jin and Liang?

 He is crazy, but he is not stupid.

 The reason why the Xuanyuan family was resolutely destroyed was that the monarch wanted to prevent the prophecy of the Xuanyuan family becoming emperor from coming true, and the second was that the monarch had enough confidence in himself.

—He believed that even without the Xuanyuan family and Xuanyuan Li, he would be able to cultivate a more invincible and invincible Dayan army in the following years.

Gu Jiao felt that he was overconfident.

Jin and Liang are ambitious and have been waiting for the most suitable time to annex Dayan. Originally, the two countries would take action after three years of civil strife in Great Yan, which greatly damaged their vitality. Now, the civil strife has been curbed in advance.

They waited patiently for three years during the civil strife, until only a layer of skin was left in the Yan State's military strength. Now that the Yan State has strong soldiers and horses, the Jin and Liang States should not be stupid enough to send troops now.

 While talking, the carriage arrived at Duke Anguo's Mansion.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng took Shangguan Yan and Yanshan Jun directly to Fengyuan.

 The weather is hot again today, and all the adults are cooling off in the house to escape the heat. Only two little peas are shoveling sand in the yard under the scorching sun.

It's a pile of sand that Gu Xiaoshun got.

The two of them squatted next to the sand pile, digging with the mini shovels that Gu Xiaoshun made for them, shovel by shovel, and then put them into the mini wooden bucket beside them.

The two of them were sweating profusely and enjoying themselves endlessly, and they even exchanged a few words in baby talk from time to time.

 The look of the two childhood sweethearts makes people feel happy.

 …Except for my old father, Mr. Yanshan.

That boy, don't get so close to my daughter!

 Your heads are touching!

And don't hold her hand casually!

 “I'll help you.” Xiao Jingkong said to the little princess.

"Okay." The little princess happily handed over her spatula.

 The two of them grabbed small shovels and shoveled sand together.

 Forget it, there are multiple people taking care of my daughter.

…no! From today on, he will raise his daughter by himself!

Yanshanjun strode over and used his body, which was extremely huge for a child, to forcefully squeeze into the middle of the two little beans.

Xiao Jingkong looked at the strange man who suddenly broke in with a confused look on his face.

The little princess let out a dull sigh: "Dad! You're back!"

 Jun Yanshan smiled: "Yes."

 “Huh? Teacher! You are back too!”

The little princess decisively put down the spatula and pounced towards Gu Jiao like a little bird.

Jun Yanshan hugged Loneliness with his outstretched arms.
