Chapter 381: Longing for Xiang Liu
Sifang Hall
"As for the Zhongyuan clans, we must not use them, but we must not overuse them. We must guard against them, but we must know when to stop. If Xiyan wants long-term stability, we must rely on the old Xiyan clans, holding weapons in one hand and fine wine in the other, to deal with the Zhongyuan clans."
Xiyan Deyan fully agreed with the way King Xiyan had governed the Central Plains over the years. Although this answer was nothing new, it was steady and would not go wrong.
King Xiyan was silent for a moment, then asked the same question to Xuanxuan.
The old ministers of Xiyan present were already very satisfied with the ideas of the Five Kings, and it was difficult for Xuanxuan's answer to stand out.
"I believe that only by treating the Central Plains clans as my true subjects can I become their true monarch."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and their eyes were focused on Xuan.
King Xiyan listened expressionlessly, but there was admiration in his eyes that was hard to hide.
"What are true subjects and true rulers?"
"When the world was first created, there were no national boundaries in the wilderness. If Pangu the Great and Fuxi and Nuwa the Great were resurrected, they would definitely regard the Xiyan Clan and Chenrong as their own people. Since the Xiyan Clan is the ruler of the Central Plains, what is the difference between Chenyi City and Xiyan City, and what is the difference between Chenrong Mountain and Xiyan Mountain? They are just cities and sacred mountains in the vast mountains and rivers of Xiyan City."
Despite the depression in his heart, Xuan spoke freely with a serious expression.
Xiao Yao sat aside, not daring to make a sound. The others knelt on the ground, fearing that they would anger the emperor.
King Xiyan looked at Xuan below with a half-smile.
"You are so brave"
Feng Long and Jing, who were eavesdropping in the back hall, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Feng Long was both shocked and admired that the king was indeed a wise and courageous ruler that he had chosen.
Xuanxuan only felt that the look in King Xiyan's eyes was getting heavier and heavier, and he felt worried and fearful, but he had no intention of retreating. He knelt down and waited for the emperor's decision.
When the emperor gets angry, millions of people die. King Xi Yan, who has fought on the battlefield for many years, can suppress the pressure in the palace with just one look, and no one dares to speak.
After a long time, King Xi Yan finally asked everyone to stand up and speak, and the atmosphere instantly eased.
The five kings were very angry when they saw that Xuanxuan was unharmed despite his wild talk. They immediately brought up the matter of the assassin's tattoo and accused Xuanxuan of having ill intentions.
Xuan immediately spoke up to show that he knew nothing about it.
The chief of Huhe tribe followed the lead of the five kings and was relentless in his pursuit of Xuan, attempting to imprison him.
Xiao Yao interrupted in time, asked to speak, and fought back with the same rhetoric in a few words, asking De Yan if he would tattoo his name on his own assassins, leaving the two of them speechless.
The Fifth Prince was so angry that he blurted out something. Xiao Yao seized the opportunity and bluntly said that the Fifth Prince interfered in government affairs and only fought for fame and fortune, but did nothing in the real battle. She let her mother go to the battlefield, leaving her a child without a mother. This not only left the Fifth Prince speechless, but also aroused the guilt of King Xi Yan.
The scene became tense for a moment, and King Xiyan called out to Xuan and asked him if he wanted to kill him.
Xuan hurriedly knelt down and declared that he had never had such an intention, and stated that he would always keep the teachings in mind and only do what the grandson of the King of Xiyan should do.
King Xiyan finally believed him and let him go back.
Xiaoyao looked happy, and she and Xuanxuan took their leave and hurried out of the palace.
At this time, Yingliu and Xiangliu had already made preparations on the high wall.
Both of them held longbows, waiting for Xuan to arrive.
(We must stay calm! Xiaoyao is the center of luck, and Xuanxuan also has luck. If they get into an accident because of us, we can't afford the compensation!)
Thinking of her pitiful points, Yingliu took a deep breath and silently prayed that everything would go well.
