Emperor Yan didn't pay attention to Xu Cheng at all. He directly interrupted his words, turned his head and looked at Yan Bei. His face became warm in an instant, and his smile was so pleasant.
Xu Cheng still had this insight. Knowing that his Majesty was warning him to shut up, he quickly restrained his words and snorted to Yan Bei from his nostrils. Without a voice, he retreated to one side obediently.
"I wonder if your majesty urgently calls me back. Is there something important?" Yan Bei is no longer the hairy young man in those days. Moreover, he will not be subject to military orders abroad. He just went home to visit his relatives a few months ago. The generals who are garrisoned outside can't return to Beijing without urgent affairs. In this way, his Majesty's urgent call must be a big event.
I don't know if it's his illusion. Yan Bei feels that his Majesty's eyes at this time are full of exploration and examination, and even with a trace of precaution. Such an expression makes Yan Bei's heart, which has always been at the top of the mountain, jump twice faster.
However, he did not show impatience, and had been quietly waiting for his majesty to speak first.
Emperor Yan appreciated Yan Bei's composure very much. He took his eyes away from him and looked around at the ministers before turning his head to look at the internal supervisor standing aside.
The Chamberlain took the order, turned and brought a brocade plate with a red paint box on it.
Before Yan Bei could open it, Emperor Yan said again, "there is the armistice agreement signed by Duke Cheng and Northern emperor Hao Lianzheng. Every word and sentence on it listed that northern kingdom is a defeated country and needs to pay tribute to our great Yan in the next 30 years, but just a month ago, they tore up the agreement without saying, and imprisoned Princess Anhe..."
Hearing this, Yan Bei suddenly looked up and Princess Anhe... Isn't that Qiqi?
Seven seven is in prison? How could he know nothing about such a big thing? Besides, he stationed at the border, and the news was the most well-informed. What link went wrong?
Emperor Yan continued, "Duke Cheng loved his daughter very much. It happened that I didn't feel well in those days. In the early days, the Duke couldn't help gathering 100 government soldiers and ye Chao, deputy general of the Hussars camp, to go to the north. According to the exact news, the Duke died in the battle, and the rest were missing..."
The words "die in battle" suddenly exploded a thunderbolt on Yan Bei's head. His face turned white and his mind was still in his mind, "Your Majesty, it's impossible. My father is brave and good at fighting. He won't, won't..."
Even though Yan Bei was very calm, his trembling hands revealed his most real emotion at this time.
The Duke is the belief of many people and generals, and it is the existence of gods in the hearts of those people.
God can only live forever. How can he die!
The courtiers also gave face. They knew early in the morning that they had to cooperate with Emperor Yan in acting. Some even squeezed out a few fake tears and cried for Emperor Yan's condolences.
What kind of sorrow is it on Emperor Yan's day? It was clearly Yan Bei's father who died. What loyalty did they show to Emperor Yan?
Yan Bei didn't believe that his father died like this. "Your Majesty, how could his father die in the north country after decades of combat? Moreover, the north country is still a subsidiary of Yan country. Don't they know the consequences of killing Cheng Guogong?"
"Presumptuous, this is the court hall, not your Chengguo government. You dare to be no bigger or smaller than your majesty. As a first-class government, Chengguo government doesn't obey the law and leads troops to fight without permission. Your majesty is very kind to confine the government without killing. How can you be a minister without a king? How does your majesty know what those thieves in the north are thinking? If you have the ability, ask yourself! "
Xu Cheng's flattery is everywhere. When he comes, he doesn't forget to bring Xu Shian out. "Your Majesty, even Shi an, the legitimate son of Wei minister, is considerate of the Duke's physical discomfort. He specially ordered to comfort the border officers and soldiers before. He begged the Duke not to be impulsive. It's you who become the Duke's government who put yourself first in everything. If Yan Qiqi keeps himself in line, how can the royal family of the North find a mistake, How could the Marquis die! It's all your fault! "
"And... As far as I know, Duke Cheng has repeatedly refused to go to the court recently. Is it because my Xu family took over his official position, which made the public resentful and deliberately embarrassed? That's why we made such a scene at the critical moment of being an envoy to the north, just to let your majesty scold us for our Xu family's incompetence!"
"After all, it's the headstrong people of your Chengguo government who have caused everyone to suffer together. My bitter son, I don't know whether life or death. Your majesty, you have to decide for your minister!"
Xu Cheng is worthy of being an old fox who has been through the court for a long time. No one is his opponent when it comes to splashing dirty water. Yan Bei is good at killing people in the battlefield, but the court debate is still almost hot.
Xu Cheng is both naughty and noisy. He doesn't pay attention to him or give him a chance to speak.
At this time, Yan Bei could not hear it. He glared at Xu Cheng fiercely, turned and knelt down in front of the hall, "Your Majesty, my father has been loyal to the king and patriotic all his life. No matter how he is in the north, my father will not end up today if he has a little dissent these years. Please see it clearly!"
"I don't believe my father will die. Yan Bei begged his majesty to allow him to lead his troops out of the pass. I will find out whether my father will die or not."
At this time, Emperor Yan seemed to have some heart, "Yan Bei, calm down first and look at this memorial."
At this time, the internal attendant presented the memorial to Yan Bei. Yan Bei took it and opened it. The more he looked, the whiter his face became.
This memorial was sent by Xu Shian in a hurry from the post station. After briefly describing what has happened in the past more than a month, it said that Princess an and Princess Cheng Guogong's ashes will return to Beijing with him in the near future.
He didn't believe Xu Cheng's words or Xu Shian's words, but he couldn't help believing his own sister's words.
Yan Bei is the youngest son of the Duke, but he is also the most capable one. Almost all his martial arts are taught by the Duke himself. His father warned him more than once to be loyal to the king and patriotic and give up his family for everyone.
He has always regarded his father's words as a wise saying, but in the end, Xu Chenggang's words awakened the dreamer.
His father is a general in charge of the military power of the state of Yan. If he wants to save Qi Qi, he can only take the government soldiers and sneak forward. Xu Cheng's words just now listen carelessly, but they can be analyzed carefully. There are words in every sentence.
