As soon as Xiao Yueze returned home, his confidant Xiao An immediately came to report the news he had just received.

"Your Majesty, Gao Dan has integrated the Red Flame Army with the Guan Family Army and the Qingtian Army, and is ready to be dispatched by the Crown Prince at any time. However, Guan Tianlei, who was seriously injured and fell into the water, has not yet been found. If he is lucky enough to survive, I am afraid that the newly recruited Guan Family Army will be killed.

Give birth to two minds."

Xiao Yueze lowered his eyes and thought for a while, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

"After all, he comes from a rabble and can handle even the smallest things full of loopholes. If he does bad things again next time, there is no need for Gao Dan to stay."

Xiao An understood what his master meant, which was to prepare the manpower to replace Gao Dan in advance. If anything happened to the rebels, the Xiao family would directly seize control of the rebels.

"My subordinates have ordered people to pay close attention to the movements of Guan Tianlei's old troops. If Guan Tianlei's whereabouts are discovered, the secret guards hidden in the Red Flame Army will take action to kill him. The Red Flame Army, Guan Family Army and Qingtian Army are now disbanded and reorganized.

The three armies supervising each other should be able to avoid problems of civil strife."

Xiao Yueze felt relieved after hearing this. He nodded slightly and said, "Very good. Later, you will send two Suzhou Qinghuer children to Gao Dan as a reward for winning the Guan Family Army. In addition, you will send a secret message to Gao Dan."

Write a letter to Li Ji and ask her to pay more attention to the movements of Huayang Hou and his son. Although the emperor has made a decree for Huayang Hou to deal with Song Xi, the two father and son may not be willing to use this strength. Let Li Ji think of a way to encourage Meng Hexuan, so that

Huayang Hou and his son take action as soon as possible."

"Yes." Xiao An accepted the order with his fists clasped.

Xiao Yueze sat back relaxedly on the chair, drank a cup of light tea and then ordered: "Let Xiao Zhong come over later and send my family letter and the news from Jinling back to Lingnan, and plan the deployment of all forces.

Everything has been carried out, so my father can relax a little bit."

He has already laid out corresponding plans for Jinling, Beijing, Shu, and the three provinces of Hunan, Shandong, and Anhui. Then he will wait for his opponents or chess pieces to take over, and then make next arrangements based on the reactions of all parties.

Today's Great Zhou Dynasty is a pool of muddy water. If you want to remain invincible, you must take the initiative.

Only by keeping their opponents busy can they, the Xiao family, take advantage of the chaos and profit, seize the enemy's weaknesses and kill one of them.

Xiao An nodded and accepted the task, and then asked with some worry: "Your Majesty, will Song Xi really accept this marriage? He has resisted the decree several times before, will he resist to the end this time?

?If so, our plan..."

The emperor's marriage grant was clearly a conspiracy, and anyone who saw it would know that he wanted to split the Song family.

As long as Song Xi is not stupid, he will definitely refuse. How can a mere Weiyuan Marquis Mansion handle him?

But in this way, the prince's arrangement would be in vain, and it might also expose the Xiao family who was behind it.

Xiao Anxin knew that the prince did not want to confront Song Xi so soon, and was worried that this move might be self-defeating.

Xiao Yueze still looked calm and calm, as if he had expected such a situation.

"Whether Song Xi accepts or rejects, the result will not affect my plan. As long as the people from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion successfully enter the capital, the Song family will no longer be able to sleep peacefully in the future."

What happens next is actually not difficult to guess.

If Song Xi accepts the gift of marriage, the Weiyuan Houfu will definitely intervene in the affairs of the Song family. What kind of overt and covert conflicts will occur between the legitimate wife and the concubine will be known by looking at the precedents of past dynasties.

If Song Xi resists the decree and refuses to marry, the Weiyuan Hou Mansion will not be willing to accept it. In order to gain access to the Song family, they will definitely make many tricks. Can the Yu family, who is unbearable by then, really remain indifferent?

No matter how affectionate Jin Jian is, he can't bear it as it wears off day by day. He doesn't believe that they can't be separated from each other!

Xiao An, who was on the side, also figured out the key, relaxed his brows and complimented: "Your Majesty is wise! In this way, the capital city will no longer be monolithic, and our manpower can also take the opportunity to create chaos. As long as the Song family and his wife reveal a flaw, the north will be in trouble in the future.

It’s what we have in our pocket.”

Xiao Yueze chuckled twice without commenting, just stroking the tea cup and thinking quietly.

After the subordinates in the room resigned and left, he took out a portrait from the secret compartment in the secret room.

His passionate peach blossom eyes just stared at the woman in the painting, seeming to be suppressing some emotion as if he couldn't see enough.

After a long time, he whispered to himself in a low voice: "There has never been anything in this world that I can't get, power, status, wealth... it's all like this, and you and Song Xi will not be my opponents."

Even Emperor Longhe, who claimed to be destined by destiny, is now being fooled by him?

The three major rebel armies running rampant in Xiangchu, Qilu and Anhui have already been taken under his command, and the rebel leader Gao Dan has also taken him as his leader.

But the emperor believed his words of "trying his best to quell the rebellion" and wanted to reward him with a stupid smile.

Although that little gold was not of much value, it might as well be used to deepen the emperor's trust.

The hidden stakes he laid are everywhere in the Jinling Palace, the Huayang Marquis Mansion, the Chiyan Army Camp, and the General Pingxi Mansion hiding in Yundian. As long as the time is right and the plan goes smoothly, it is only time for the Xiao family to seize the kingdom of Great Zhou.

question.

When it comes to outsmarting the city, Xiao Yueze has no opponent.

Only the Song family and his wife repeatedly sabotaged his plans time and time again.

But next time, this couple won't have such good luck.

He admitted that Song Xi and the Yu family were qualified to be the opponents of the Xiao family, but there would only be one winner in the competition.

Xiao will not lose and must not lose!

…

A month later, the wedding procession from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion set off in great force.

The Zhang family held the imperial edict granting marriage and rushed to the capital with beautiful dreams in mind.

The entire family in the mansion also took this opportunity to move to the capital, preparing to place all their honor and disgrace in the rest of their lives on this marriage.

The major forces in Jinling have different views on this. Some are secretly envious, while others are deeply worried. There are even conspiracy theories about the Zhang family rebelling against their master to seek glory and admonishing the emperor to take back his life.

Emperor Long He, who had been bewitched by Xiao Yueze, of course ignored it and firmly believed that the Zhang family's visit to Beijing would only cause trouble for Song Xi and his wife.

Like other forces entrenched throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was quietly watching Song Xi's reaction, waiting to see a scandal involving quarrels between wives and concubines or in-fighting among relatives in the Song family.

This gifted marriage was a wish come true for the Zhang family, but it was the beginning of a good show for the emperor.

Hidden behind the scenes, Xiao Yueze has already begun to predict the next chess game, and he can act quickly as soon as the enemy bites the hook.

At this time, a mechanical flying bird had already set off from Suzhou, which is separated by three prefectures, and arrived in the capital ahead of the wedding procession.

There are three secret letters and two volumes of information hidden in the bird's belly, which are the results of the Song family's spies lurking in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the other side, Guan Tianlei, who was being chased by the Red Flame Army and the Xiao family's secret guards, also entered the boundary river of Beizhili with the help of several confidants.
