The civil servant's face suddenly turned pale with fear.

"I am the King of Beiliang, and the late Emperor is required to bring a sword to the palace. Today you despise the late Emperor's words and want to rebel?"

brush

With a sweeping sweep of the knife, the civil servant's neck was wiped instantly.

He was killed by Xu Xiao before he could even say a word.

hiss

Everyone took a breath and looked at Xu Xiao with lingering fear.

It seems that although Xu Xiao is old, his "687" is still the same as before!

When a tiger gets old, he is still a tiger!

Xu Xiao limped forward and picked up the scabbard that was still in the hands of the civil servant.

With a brushing sound, Xu Xiao held the cool sheath in his hand.

Everyone shuddered unconsciously.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill noise came from the hall.

Zhao Zhuan wore a dragon robe and walked up to the dragon chair in the main hall step by step.

After not seeing him for many days, Zhao Lu's face had become even paler, and his whole person seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.

The Zhao family's luck was cut off. Without the support of luck, sitting on this throne, he will become weaker and weaker because he can bear this position.

When he saw the minister lying in a pool of blood, his eyes suddenly shrank!

It seems that Xu Xiao has not changed at all.

Zhao Lu had a calm expression on his face and waved gently to several eunuchs.

The eunuch immediately understood and carried away the body of the civil servant.

Zhao Zhuan sat on the dragon chair and looked down condescendingly.

The beaded crown covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to see his emotions clearly.

"See Your Majesty!"

All civil and military officials, including Xu Xiao, paid homage to Zhao Zhuan at the same time.

"Ping Shen." Zhao Zhuan said lightly.

There was a tacit understanding between everyone, and neither Xu Xiao nor Zhao Zhuan mentioned what happened just now.

It's like nothing happened.

"King of Northern Liang." Zhao Zhuan looked down at Xu Xiao who was holding the knife, and asked with concern: "We haven't seen you for many years. I miss you very much. How is your health now?"

Xu Xiao bowed his hands "respectfully" and said, "Thanks to your majesty, I am safe from illness and disaster."

"That's good." Zhao Zhuan nodded with a smile, and then asked: "I wonder what happened to the King of Beiliang when he came to Beijing this time?"

After saying that, the Zhao family looked at Xu Xiao without blinking.

It seemed that he wanted to see through Xu Xiao.

The two looked at each other, with a faint smile on their lips.

But the air was filled with murderous intent.

Whether it is Zhao Zhuan or Xu Xiao, what they want to do most is to kill each other...

Zhao Zhuan was for the unification of the dynasty.

Xu Xiao wanted to avenge his dead wife.

But on the surface, neither of them fell out.

Xu Xiao was afraid of the generals of the world, and Zhao Zhuan was afraid of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry.

But now, Xu Xiao has a different mentality.

Because he knew that Li Yang would be completely finished soon.

Thinking that he would do whatever Lu Zhong wanted him to do, Xu Xiao stepped forward and sighed: "Your Majesty, Xu Xiao is here for Beiliang this time."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhuan looked at Xu Xiao with a smile.

Xu Xiao pretended to sigh and said dejectedly: "Although I am not suffering from any physical illness."

"But, after all, one cannot withstand time!"

The purpose of Xu Xiao's coming here is just to ask for the throne for Xu Fengnian. 1.1 Although the throne of Northern Liang is hereditary.

But it was a fief after all. If Xu Xiao wanted to pass the throne to Xu Fengnian, he still needed Zhao Zhuan's imperial edict.

After pretending to cough a few times, Xu Xiao said helplessly:

"Now, the old minister is already old and frail, and he may not be qualified for the position of King of Northern Liang. Therefore, I would like to ask for your Majesty's permission to let the old minister's son Xu Fengnian succeed to the position of King of Northern Liang."

As soon as Xu Xiao finished speaking, the court suddenly became quiet. .
