Chapter 1698: Empty Shell Throne?
Chapter 1698 The throne of an empty shell?
Qu Xiao also glanced at the baby.
The little baby even looked at him without blinking. So weird.
Qu Xiao didn't understand what it meant and didn't speak.
Xue Yan smiled and said, "She always looks at people she doesn't know, don't mind." Then she said, "This is not the place to talk, let's change it."
Qu Xiao: "Well."
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan took Qu Xiao to one of their houses in the town that was closest to where they were now.
After arriving at the house, let someone take Qu Xiao to wash up.
About half an hour later, I saw Qu Xiao again.
At this time, Qu Xiao was already dressed in splendid clothes, and his whole body was clean, how could he still look like a beggar? However, he still did not wear the imperial clothes, otherwise he would know that he was an emperor at a glance.
His face has no stolen goods, and it is so clean that his temperament is a little cold, and his gestures are extremely calm.
After the ceremony, he sat down.
This time, when I see Qu Xiao again, I guess I just met him, and the little baby remembers it. So, at this moment, the little baby who was sitting on the kang by Jiang Yue and playing with a bunch of gadgets was again when Qu Xiao first came in. He glanced at it, and then buried his little head again, playing with the toys in front of him with his little hands.
Jiang Yue sat on the kang and looked after her little baby.
Xue Yan and Qu Xiao were both sitting on chairs not far away.
The people serving in this house were busy serving tea, and then they withdrew very respectfully. There were secret guards around the door, so there was no need to worry about the walls having ears.
Everyone knows that although Qu Xiao is young, he is a smart person with strategy and courage. He cannot be regarded as an ordinary child. Therefore, after sipping a sip of tea, Xue Yan didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the topic: "You're all here like this. , just tell me what you mean."
Qu Xiao also put down the tea, and then bowed his hands to both Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, and said, "To be honest with the two of you, I think they will help me become a veritable Emperor of Dongxiao Kingdom."
Instead of being famous like he is now, 90% of the real power is not in his hands.
His father, the emperor, was constrained by others before he was alive, and he couldn't make his own decisions. Even at that time, his elder brother, the prince, was secretly killed by Xiahouzheng. What to do, later, depression became ill, and his health was worse day by day, so he left. Before he died, because he had only one son, he could only pass the empty shell to him, and asked him to promise that he must take it. When he returned to power, he died peacefully.
He agreed, so he would find a way to do it.
Xue Yan is still direct: "Then tell me why we should help you."
Qu Xiao said: "No one in Dongxiao has changed his name and sat in that position more justly than me, and no one is more beneficial to the two than me being the monarch of the Dongxiao Kingdom. I have no desire to expand, even if I take back the power, I will only It would be to guard the territory of the East Xiaoguo and not let anyone invade. The two of you govern Daling, even if Daling has cannons and gunpowder, it does not expand a single point. Obviously this is also the concept. We think it coincides. Presumably how many of you I also know the current situation of the Diandongxiao Kingdom. I am the emperor without power. The power has already been placed on the regent Xiahou Zheng as early as the time of my father, followed by my uncle Qu Chuo. Sooner or later, I will be removed from the throne. The people who were pulled down and took the throne, whether it was Xiahou Zheng or Qu Chuo, were full of wildness and had a heart for expansion. No matter who they became emperor, once they had a way to deal with the big ling gunpowder and the cannon, they would all be able to do it. Attack the most prosperous Daling."
