Chapter 321
In Kyoto, the Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince and his staunch supporters were looking at each other with sad faces.
"Your Highness, Long Tian is really bullying too much. I ask Your Highness to give an order immediately and send a large army to surround and kill him."
"I don't believe it. No matter how strong the people in the Northern Territory are, they can still stop a million troops."
Grand Master Lin Jinnan was indignant.
Long Tian did not hide his whereabouts. He led many masters from the Northern Territory and Yanyun Cavalry all the way to Kyoto.
Anyone who is not a fool can see that Long Tian's route is towards Kyoto.
Everyone knows clearly what the relationship between the court and Long Tian is now. What is Long Tian doing in Kyoto at the critical period of going to Liyang Dynasty?
No need to think about it, everyone knows that Long Tian is here to solve the future troubles.
No matter what the result of the trip to Liyang is, Long Tian must solve the hidden danger of the Xia Kingdom court. Even if he loses or even dies in Liyang Dynasty, he will not let the court take advantage of it.
Especially Murong Zijin's appearance in Long Tian's team made the court feel uneasy, which was enough to show that the King of Zhennan and Long Tian had reached an agreement.
Even the important officials in the court speculated that if Long Tian died in the battle of Liyang Dynasty, the King of Zhennan would definitely take advantage of the situation. Perhaps Long Tian made such a layout for some reason to pave the way for the King of Zhennan.
This idea is also normal. After all, without Long Tian in Xia Kingdom, the King of Zhennan will have no one to restrain him. With the support of the northern army, no one in Xia Kingdom can be his opponent.
Long Tian's move was interpreted by the court as arranging his funeral. After all, in their cognition, the probability of returning alive after going to Liyang Dynasty is very small. Even if he returns by chance, he will be continuously attacked by Liyang Dynasty in the later period.
Under such high pressure, it is impossible for a Long Tian to stop.
Unless Long Tian surrenders to Liyang Dynasty, but if so, Long Tian will really become a slave of Liyang Dynasty, and will lose his own freedom, let alone interfere in the affairs of Xia Kingdom.
The Liyang Dynasty would not care about the Xia Kingdom, let alone use Long Tian to control it. For them, it would be a superfluous move.
Considering various reasons, the court believed that Long Tian came to Kyoto to eliminate their future hidden dangers.
How could this not make them anxious.
Especially Lin Jinnan, Zhang Lun and other people who had grudges against the North Territory were even more restless.
The prince was also aware of the concerns of the ministers.
The prince was also anxious. Facing the aggressiveness of the North Territory, no one was more worried than him.
In order to avoid the trip to Liyang this time, the prince had decided to ascend the throne regardless of everything. For this reason, the prince had already considered that this move would cause dissatisfaction in the North Territory.
The reason why the prince did not do this for a long time was that he was dragging it out, waiting for Long Tian to take people away from the Xia Kingdom, and then ascending the throne at the right time.
But now it seems that his plan must have been leaked. Long Tian did not want to give himself a chance to survive. At the same time, Long Tian did not want to see another emperor appear in the Xiao family of the Xia Kingdom.
The prince was very angry. Even if he was the last emperor, he was still an emperor. He could go down in history. Even if he died, it would be the last comfort.
"Long Tian, since you don't even give me this last chance, don't blame me."
"Prime Minister, mobilize the Zhongzhou garrison and deploy defenses along the way. Once the traces of the people in the northern border are found, no matter who they are, they will be killed."
"Notify Prince Xing and Prince Kangping that if they want to get the protection of the court, it's time to contribute. If there is something wrong with the court, Long Tian will not let them go."
The prince was determined not to let Long Tian arrive in Kyoto safely.
The last time Long Tian came to Kyoto was when the seventh princess was choosing a husband, but the result was that the old emperor calculated for a long time, not only failed to get rid of Long Tian, but also sacrificed his own life and the entire clan house.
Now Long Tian is no longer the same as before. If he is allowed to come, I'm afraid the entire court will have to sacrifice this time.
The prince was determined to fight to the death, but reality soon slapped him in the face.
One day later.
"Your Highness, the two old guys, King Kangping and King Xing, agreed to help me on the surface, but they have never taken action. It seems that they don't want to participate in this matter. I'm afraid they have already become disloyal."
Soon the prince got the news.
"They are all ungrateful wolves who can't be tamed. They are still holding back at this time. Are they all old and confused?"
The prince cursed angrily.
This was just to vent his dissatisfaction. In fact, the prince could understand the two people's ideas. They sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, waiting for one side to win, and then joined the winner.
At this time, the two princes had soldiers, resources, and a little bit of negotiation qualifications. If they followed the court, there would be no room for them.
Who can become a prince is ordinary.
Even if he thought it through, the prince still couldn't help getting angry.
"Your Highness, it's useless to think so much now. We can't deal with King Kangping and King Xing for the time being. We can only solve the immediate problem first.The trouble before, let's talk about the two of them later. "
Yan Tianyu said helplessly.
Even if he knew the two's plan, what could he do? Could he attack them at this time? Obviously not. If he didn't move, Zhongzhou would still be unstable. Once he moved, Zhongzhou would probably fall into the hands of the North.
"Well, we can only rely on ourselves."
The prince also gave up. He was about to ask where Long Tian had gone, when suddenly the eunuch came to report that the latest intelligence had arrived.
The prince hurriedly took it. He was most concerned about Long Tian now.
"Asshole, come here, send an order to execute the entire family of Ma Xiang, the general of the Zhongzhou Yuwei. "
The prince threw the intelligence angrily, and then gave the order loudly.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
Even Yan Tianyu was shocked.
Ma Xiang, the general of the Yuwei, was no one else. He was the general of the vanguard army that killed Long Tian this time. He was also an old man in the Zhongzhou Corps. If his clan was exterminated for no reason, it would have a great impact on the entire Zhongzhou Corps.
"You can see for yourself. "
The prince was still angry.
It turned out that General Ma Xiang of the Imperial Guard was ordered to kill Long Tian, but after he led 100,000 troops to block Long Tian, he did not take action.
It would have been fine if he did not take action to block people, but this guy directly changed sides, and the killing corps became the escort corps, and the entire 100,000 Zhongzhou army directly became Long Tian's protective army.
This is not only a failure, but also a naked irony.
Ma Xiang surrendered to the enemy, no matter what the reason, it is unforgivable, especially at this time.
"Your Highness, Ma Xiang deserves to die, I will do it immediately."
Lin Jinnan stood up. Now the situation is becoming more and more critical. Since so many people have found a way out, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape defeat, so I have to teach them a deep enough lesson.
"Grand Master, forget it, it's probably too late now. Ma Xiang has been away for a few days, and it is impossible for his family not to make arrangements. "
Yan Tianyu shook his head and sighed, stopping Lin Jinnan and the prince's impulse.
What's the point of killing some old, young, women and children at this time? It's meaningless except to arouse the resistance and dissatisfaction of other generals in Zhongzhou.
Besides, as Yan Tianyu said, how could Ma Xiang not be prepared, especially the powerful secret forces in the north, which would not leave any chance for the court.
