On the same day, after receiving Zhao Yuanxi's secret order, Wei Mu hurried to Nanyan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the same time, Zhao Yuanxi ordered the remnants of the Yushui army to be integrated, and ordered Zongwei Baili to quickly expand the army and intensify training to deal with the army of Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Southern Yan.

This army, the Dredging Army.

A few days later, the people of King Yi Zhao Yuanling sent the father and son of the former prince Zhao Yuanling, as well as Xiao Shuyan's young son, who was only more than two years old, to Nanyan and handed them over to Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan.

Seeing the former prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son, Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan and his son were shocked, and after asking, they learned that it was Xiao Shuyan who secretly let the former prince Zhao Yuanling and his son go.

"It's broken!"

Xiao Luan realized at that time that his sister Xiao Shuyan had done something wrong or wanted to implicate their Nanyan Xiao family, so he suggested that his father Xiao Boyuan kill the former prince Zhao Yuanling and his son, and send the heads of his father and son to Daliang.

Xiao Luan believes that only in this way can Zhao Yuanxi's anger be appeased - let them Xiao take action and do something for Zhao Yuanxi that he desperately wants to do but does not care about, that is, kill Zhao Yuanling's father and son!

However, Xiao Boyuan hesitated under the bitter plea of the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling.

Because he and the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling, in the final analysis, are Weng's son-in-law, although the former crown princess Zhai treated his daughter Xiao Qing badly, but Zhao Yuanling did not treat the latter badly after all.

On the contrary, he Nanyan Xiao owed something to the former prince Zhao Yuanling.

But considering that the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling is now a rebellious identity of "rebellion and rebellion", Xiao Boyuan finally decided not to shelter the former prince Zhao Yuanling, nor to kill the latter.

Therefore, Xiao Boyuan left the baby boy born to his daughter Xiao Shuxi, and ordered the former prince Zhao Yuanling and his son to leave Nanyan immediately.

Seeing this, Yiwang Zhao Yuanling's people immediately arranged to send the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son away from Wei, after all, Yiwang Zhao Yuanling had already guessed Nanyan Xiao's reaction.

However, Xiao Luan strenuously objected, believing that the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son must be killed in order to redeem the mistakes of his sister Xiao Shuyan.

Therefore, he led two hundred cavalry that night to catch up with the team of Yiwang Zhao Yuanling's team escorting the former prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son, killed the former prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son, cut off the head, and brought them back to Nanyan.

Xiao Boyuan was shocked to learn of this, but the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing he could do.

Two days later, Wei Mu came to Nanyan, although he deliberately concealed the purpose of the trip, just came in the name of reminiscence, but Xiao Luan still saw through Wei Mu's intention at a glance, and asked someone to send the head of Zhao Yuanling's father and son.

At the time, Wei Mu was shocked.

In addition to being shocked, Wei Mu had to admit that Xiao Luan was decisive and ruthless, much stronger than his father Xiao Boyuan.

It's a pity that Xiao Luan only miscalculated, that is, Zhao Yuanxi killed his sister Xiao Shuxi by mistake when he was angry and ashamed.

If Zhao Yuanxi had restrained the anger in his heart at that time and did not kill Xiao Shuyan, then Xiao Luan's actions could indeed redeem Xiao Shuxi's mistakes, but unfortunately, Zhao Yuanxi had killed Xiao Shuxi by mistake, resulting in all this irreparable.

So, at that time, Wei Mu half-truthfully expressed his intentions: "Don't hide it from the two, in fact, Wei Mou came this time to arrest the rebellious Zhao Yuanling's father and son on the secret order of His Majesty." …… Fortunately, the two were not blinded by rebellion, otherwise, Wei could only ask the Son of Heaven to take charge of the Southern Yan Army. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Boyuan felt palpitations, while Xiao Luan was proud, thinking that it was his wise decision to save him from the Nanyan Xiao family.

Subsequently, Wei Mu coaxed and coaxed Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan and his son, and asked the father and son to take the heads of the former prince Zhao Yuanling and his son to Daliang, saying that this would be more "proof of Qingbai".

Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, and Xiao Luan, father and son, did not doubt that he had him, and asked Wei Mu, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, to take charge of the Nanyan Army on their behalf, while his father and son took the heads of the former prince Zhao Yuanling and his son to Daliang.

Moreover, Wei Mu told Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan and his son that no news should be leaked on this trip, after all, it is really not appropriate to make a noise about transporting the heads of the former prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son.

Hearing this, Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, and his son Xiao Luan thought so, so they took the heads of the former prince Zhao Yuanling's father and son, and went to Daliang in disguise.

Unexpectedly, Wei Mu had secretly sent someone to contact Daliang, so that after the father and son of Nanyan Marquis Xiao Boyuan arrived in Daliang, they were taken into custody by Zhao Yuanxi.

At this time, Wei Mu was in charge of the Southern Yan Army, and "collected" various charges such as Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, who had swallowed military salaries and colluded with South Korea, and secretly sent people to Daliang.

After this evidence was sent to the girder, the government and the opposition were shaken.

At this time, Wei Mu deliberately spread rumors among the Southern Yan army that "Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, wanted to design a murder because he was jealous of Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Southern Yan, was in power", and instigated the Southern Yan army to attack Daliang, forcing Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, and the imperial court to release Xiao Boyuan, Xiao Luan, the marquis of Southern Yan, and his son.

So, the soldiers of the Southern Yan Army were angry and raised troops and went to Daliang.

This move is tantamount to confirming the charge of "Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, who rebelled", so that everyone in the court was angry.

No one knew that at this time, Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, and his son Xiao Luan had already been secretly imprisoned in Daliang by the inner chamberlain.

A few days later, the imperial court issued a notice convicting Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Nanyan, on various charges of "embezzling military salaries", "fornicating with Korea", "colluding with the rebellious ministers and thieves Zhao Yuanling", "raising troops and rebelling", and ordered Bailiba, Xu Yin and other Tianzi Zongwei to lead the Junshui Army to attack the Southern Yan army.

Under Wei Mu's operation, the Southern Yan Army was undisputedly defeated by the Junshui Army, and more than 10,000 Southern Yan soldiers were killed on the spot.

Immediately, Bailiba, Xu Yin and Wei Mu led the Junshui Army to counterattack Nanyan, and wiped out the Nanyan Xiao family and the nobles and families who married with the Xiao family.

Pity those nobles and families, before they know what happened, they were slaughtered by the Junshui army.

Afterwards, the Junshui Army escorted this person from the aristocracy and family to Daliang.

At this time, Zhao Yuanxi also ordered the inner chamberlain to hand over Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, and his son Xiao Luan to the Junshui Army, telling the public that they were "captured in the chaos".

A few days later, Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, ordered that all the nobles and families suspected of "Xiao Boyuan, Marquis of Southern Yan, rebelled" in the vegetable market in Daliang City.

Poor Nanyan Marquis Xiao Boyuan, until he died, he didn't understand why Zhao Yuanxi wanted to kill him, so that before he died, he still shouted "wronged".

The number of people executed this time was far more than the last execution of the former crown prince Zhao Yuanling and his party, because there were some nobles and families at that time who had a certain degree of marriage relationship with the Nanyan Xiao family, so at the critical juncture, they were cleared up by the Xiao family, so they avoided being settled by Zhao Yuanxi.

And now, since Zhao Yuanxi has made up his mind to eradicate the Nanyan Xiao clan, then the group of people who escaped by luck at the beginning will naturally be reliquidated.

Because of this, more people were executed in this case than last time, so that the head of Caishikou was piled up, blood was everywhere, and the smell of blood gradually dissipated for several months.

To what extent was it killed? Killed until even heroes like Zhao Yuanxi felt tired, and they had a little unbearable, but you can imagine how many people were executed.

So, in the end, Zhao Yuanxi relented, and only killed the Xiao family and the rest of the nobles and family members who married him, and let go of those insignificant people such as domestic servants, domestic slaves, and family guards.

However, this move caused a vicious shark to be released - that is, Xiao Luan, the youngest son of Nanyanhou.

It turned out that Xiao Luan had a guard who looked similar to him, and when the inner chamberlain took in Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, Xiao Luan's father and son, this loyal guard replaced the little son Xiao Luan.

Although it was a pity at the time that Xiao Luan was still imprisoned by the inner guards after pretending to be a guard, the identities of the two were not exchanged.

This made the fake Xiao Luan, that is, the guard, replace Xiao Luan, Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, and the rest of the Nanyan Xiao family were executed at the entrance of the vegetable market, and the real Xiao Luan escaped because of Zhao Yuanxi's temporary soft-heartedness.

After the execution, the rest were imprisoned in prison.

At this time, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan had already learned of the "death of Xiao Shuyan" - although the court claimed that Xiao Shuyan was captured because of his father's brother's rebellion, and begged Zhao Yuanxi, the king of Wei, to kill himself in vain, but Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan was one of the few people who knew the cause and effect of the whole thing.

Out of pity for the survivors of many aristocratic families such as the Xiao family, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan went to the prison of the Criminal Department to visit the prison and find a way to rescue these survivors, but he didn't expect to recognize Xiao Luan by chance.

You must know that since Xiao Luan secretly supported Zhao Yuanxi, Yiwang Zhao Yuanli has become friends with Xiao Luan, he thought that this friend had been executed at the entrance of the vegetable market, but he didn't expect that this friend escaped by luck.

Out of resentment for the fourth royal brother Zhao Yuanxi who killed Xiao Shuyan by mistake, and for the sake of Xiao Luan being Xiao Shuyan's most beloved brother, Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan tried his best to protect these survivors, so he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, took Xiao Luan out of it, and let him escape from Daliang through the secret passage under King Yi's mansion.

And it was precisely because of the momentary spirit of King Yi Zhao Yuanyan that Zhao Yuanxi's action to eradicate the Xiao family of Nanyan had a fatal aftermath - that is, he got rid of Xiao Luan, the son of the Xiao family.

Xiao Luan's talent was ten times that of his father, Xiao Boyuan, the Marquis of Nanyan, and after escaping from Daliang, he managed to find out the truth about Zhao Yuan's revenge.

At this point, Xiao Luan, as a member of the ministers of the dragon back then, turned against Zhao Yuanxi, secretly gathered those nobles who were implicated, the survivors of the family, as well as the survivors of the Southern Yan Army and their families, and gradually began to take revenge on the royal family of Ji Zhao, especially Zhao Yuansi, the king of Wei.

This force, which intends to subvert the Wei State and subvert the authority of the Wei King Zhao Yuanxi, is called the "Xiao Remnant".

……

……

Listening to Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan slowly tell the secrets of the year, many guests in the middle palace hall of Zhongyang Hunting Palace were all dumbfounded.

No one thought that the boiling "Xiao Rebellion" case was actually an unjust case from beginning to end, and the person who contributed to this unjust case was actually Zhao Yuanxi, the current monarch of Wei State.

Zhao Hongrun was also dumbfounded, he finally understood why his sixth uncle had told him that his father, Emperor Zhao Yuanxi, was a ruthless hero.

In the silent hall, Wei Tianzi looked at Yiwang Zhao Yuanyan expressionlessly, and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't expect that he didn't catch Xiao Luan's big fish this time, but he caught his most trusted brother, the sixth Zhao Yuanyan.

However, it's time for this farce to end.

Wei Tianzi glanced at Zhao Yuanyan with mixed feelings.

At the same time, within the limits of Yuanyang County, Wei Mu, the general of the Southern Yan Army, had noticed the fire in the direction of Zhongyang Xinggong, and immediately ordered the whole army to assemble and summoned the deputy general Ai He to the tent.

"Ai He, follow me to Zhongyang Palace immediately!"

"Yes!" The lieutenant Ai He hugged his fists.

However, just as Wei Mu turned around, he saw a sneer on the corner of Ai He's mouth, a dagger slipped from his sleeve, and he stepped forward silently, covering Wei Mu's mouth with one hand, and stabbing the dagger in his hand into Wei Mu's back with his right hand.

"Ai He, you ......" Wei Mu was stabbed in the back with a dagger, like a lightning strike, he stared at Ai He in disbelief, but saw the latter whisper to Wei Mu: "Wei Mu, Nanyan Hou is waiting for you under the Nine Springs!" ”

"You...... It's ......

Wei Mu's eyes widened, and he didn't blink.

Indifferently glancing at Wei Mu's corpse at his feet, Ai He casually threw the dagger away.

At this time, several Nanyan soldiers walked in outside the tent, and the first one said, "Wei Mu's guards have all been killed." ”

"You didn't alarm the soldiers in the camp, did you?" Ai He asked.

"No, I didn't." The soldier replied.

"Good." Ai He nodded in satisfaction, and after glancing coldly at Wei Mu's corpse, he lifted the tent and walked to the camp.

At this time, thousands of Southern Yan troops were already in the camp ready to go.

I saw Ai He take the reins of the horse handed by a soldier, turn over on the horse, pull out the sword at his waist, and point in the direction of the Zhongyang Hunting Palace.

"The general has an order, and the enemy is in the middle, yang, line, and palace!"

"Wow!"

Thousands of soldiers of the Southern Yan Army raised their arms and shouted, heading straight towards the Zhongyang Palace.
