Chapter 609

In the front courtyard Hall of King Yan's residence, the lamp has been turned on.

"I've been busy with military affairs recently. I've asked Tang Taifu to wait in the post house for a long time." King Yan just returned from the military camp and took off his red tassel helmet, but he didn't have time to remove his armor. His beard was a little messy and his lips were a little dry. However, his eyes didn't lose their energy and calm color, and his body was tall and straight without fatigue.

Tang Changyu looked at the man in front of him and his face was very tense.

Although he held the post of Shaofu, the crown prince was too weak to teach, so Shaofu became a part-time title. In addition, he has been in the cabinet since ten years ago, and he is also a person of considerable seniority and prestige in the court.

This time, the emperor ordered him to come to Mizhou with another consideration——

I still remember that at the beginning of Daqing, the court was gradually divided into two factions by the dispute over the establishment of a reserve.

At that time, he was a servant of the Ministry of rites, and he was not alone. The people he supported were the current emperor and the eldest son of the emperor at that time——

For this reason, he impeached King Yan's marching fault and his subordinates' lax connivance with the censor of the imperial court. Therefore, King Yan was punished and banned by the former Emperor.

He thought that he was not a party member. At the beginning of the world, he thought that what Daqing needed was a benevolent king to appease the hearts of people all over the world and stabilize the Korean situation, rather than an emperor who liked to fight and would make enemies on all sides of Daqing.

Then it really did what he wanted.

After King Yan left Beijing for Mizhou, he was still a little uneasy. Fearing that the king's ambition would not die, he offered many checks and balances for the new emperor in order to consolidate the Daqing River and mountains, and settled with Xia Tingzhen the ears and eyes of the king Yan's followers in the capital and everywhere——

In the past, he always thought that he was planning for political affairs. He had different views and was not wrong.

But now

Tang Taifu didn't know what he thought. His slightly drooping eyes were still looking at the king who was no longer young in front of him.

In those years, the king of Yan was clear about his position and what he did.

With such a festival, the emperor chose to appoint him as an imperial envoy. Naturally, there was no need to worry that he would be rebelled by King Yan.

The situation of this trip is clear. If King Yan cannot be brought back to the capital, he will never be able to go back alive.

At present, it is a life and death situation.

He didn't say anything superfluous or even salute. He only coldly took the imperial decree of the box from the accompanying officers and soldiers and held it in his hand: "disobeying the imperial decree of King Yan -"

Rebellious minister

When the hat was pressed down, all the servants in the palace looked greatly changed.

The king of Yan did not see a different color, but did not kneel down. He only arched his hands and said, "I listen to the order."

"According to the emperor's edict, Xie Dingchen, king of Yan, colluded with the Wu family in Ningyang and the anti thief Xu Qiwei to plot a rebellion! After investigation, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, which really chills my heart! Now he takes back his title and military amulet, takes away his family property, and orders the imperial envoy Tang Changyu to escort him to the capital with King Yan's residence in Mizhou, waiting for the trial to come down. Qin here -"

The rain outside the hall was rolling and the cold air hit me.

"The imperial edict is here. I'm ordered to act. I hope the Lord can cooperate with me to return to Beijing for hearing."

When Tang Changyu saw that King Yan had no intention of leading the order, he said quietly, "the conspiracy of the Xu and Wu families is as strong as a mountain. Because the Empress Dowager was taken away from the capital, his majesty suspected that the conspiracy was related to the king. If there is another inside story, the king can personally explain it to the emperor after entering the capital."

At this point, he gave a slight pause and said, "if the Lord can prove himself, I am willing to testify for the Lord - I see the situation in Mizhou along the way."

There's nothing different about the garrison in Mizhou. You can come and go freely near the city, and you don't see the slightest tendency to prepare for war

He also had some doubts about this.

And because of the unspeakable regret for the old things left in the bottom of his heart, Tang Changyu's mind at this time is not only one side.

Taking King Yan back to the capital is related to the safety of the world, which is what he must do.

But if the other party is really not rebellious, he will try his best to protect each other.

Listening to this sentence, the Yan King smiled.

He didn't know whether Tang Shaofu was "pointing out the way" for him or luring him into Beijing to plead guilty.

But anyway, it doesn't matter.

How he goes and how his life is used is only in his own hands.

"I can't accept this order. I hope Tang Shaofu will forgive me." King Yan said no, but his tone was still calm.

Tang Changyu's face was slightly heavy and looked at him straightly: "Lord, is this a guilty conscience, don't you recruit yourself?"

"Whether it's a thief or not, this trip back to Beijing is a road of desperation. Tang Shaofu should know."

Interrogation, self testimony——

Are unrealistic.

Waiting for him, he just died on the way to the capital.

"..." Tang Changyu clenched the imperial edict in his hand: "before the matter is verified, I will protect the king's integrity!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to." King Yan: "come and invite Tang Shaofu and others down to have a rest so that they can be entertained."

As soon as the sound fell, there was a sound of neat footsteps. A line of soldiers in armor quickly stepped into the hall, and the outside of the hall was also surrounded.

"Sir...!" the two attendants on Tang Changyu's side were shocked and immediately drew a knife to protect him.

Tang Changyu's face also completely changed, and his tone was furious: "is the prince really going to rebel openly?!"

"No, I just want to get back what belongs to me."

Tang Changyu looked angry: "it's really a wolf's ambition! It seems that I didn't blame you for my worries!"

"If Shaofu thinks so, he can be a little less ashamed." King Yan said, "but Shaofu doesn't have to be ashamed."

"You..." Tang Changyu seemed to have been pierced by someone, and his face was ashamed and annoyed. "Do you really have peace of mind if you kill me? If I hadn't left King Yan's residence tonight, my companions would have sent troops from Yicheng and Wuda to encircle and suppress Mizhou according to the imperial edict! You have been stationed in Mizhou for more than ten years. Do you have to be stubborn to the end, resulting in a river of blood in Mizhou and giving opportunities to other nationalities?"

"Bah! You so-called ministers are really hypocritical!" the deputy general on the side of the king Yan scolded: "while wanting our Lord's life, you have to use the so-called great righteousness to oppress our Lord. Take care of Mizhou and beware of foreign races. If you are killed by the imperial court, you have to think about the imperial court? It's disgusting. His mother opens the door to disgust - disgusting!"

"Daqing has such a foolish king and you hypocritical, incompetent and selfish people. No wonder you will end up in this situation!"

"Don't you know how your imperial court has suppressed and guarded against the north over the years? It is our Lord's credit that it can be stable at this time. Whether it protects or not, it's not up to you to give false advice!"

Seeing his own Prince glancing at him, the deputy general barely held his mouth.

These words have been kept in my stomach for too many years. I can finally say a few words today!

"... rebellion is rebellion! Even if you have made countless contributions in the past, even if you say it grandly, it is still rebellion!" Tang Changyu looked at King Yan and said in a fixed voice: "no matter how obedient the troops stationed in Mizhou are to you, no matter how brave and good at fighting, they are outnumbered. No matter how many struggles under the siege of several cities are just futile!"

"It seems that Tang Shaofu really cares about the safety of Mizhou." King Yan said: "I have to find a way to make Tang Shaofu settle down in time -"

Then he turned his head slightly and looked to his side: "Hefeng."

"My subordinates are here."

"It's almost time. Go outside the house to see if there are any guests."

"Yes."

Hefeng took orders and left. Soon, he brought back a young man in a seven grade green robe.

The man was thrown into the hall by Hefeng's collar, so he trembled and knelt down.

"Liu Qianzong? You... What are you doing in Mizhou city?!" seeing this man, Tang Changyu immediately felt bad.

There are three colleagues with him. In order to protect his safety, he is close to Mizhou City alone. The other three stay in Yicheng, which is only a hundred miles away from Mizhou. The guards in the same city discuss the military affairs to prevent the possibility of the stubborn resistance of the king of Yan——

But now, why did Liu Rui come to King Yan's residence when he was not in Yicheng!

"Tang Shaofu, Yicheng general tore up the Edict and openly rebelled!" the visitor trembled and said, "both adults Jia Ren have been detained, and all our people have been controlled!"

Tang Changyu was shocked.

... yesterday, he also received a letter saying that officials inside and outside Yicheng were guarding generals, and they all cooperated with him very carefully!

It turned out to be a play!

"So, how did you escape!" Tang Changyu soon realized that it was wrong and looked at Liu Rui - if Yicheng had been rebellious, he would have been heavily defended. He would never have escaped to Mizhou safely!

Escape?

The young man gave a wry smile.

Where does he have this ability?

If he can really escape, he has to think too much, so he won't run away and come to King Yan's house instead?

"My subordinates didn't escape... They sent them to King Yan's residence and specially... Reported to my Lord."

"..." Tang Changyu clenched his teeth.

This is clearly deliberately humiliating them!

No wonder

No wonder the king of Yan resisted the order so calmly!

"So you've already colluded... The North has become a nest of snakes and mice! It seems that the Lord has secretly planned for many years for today!" Tang Changyu's eyes are red.

"Xie cherishes his life. His intention is only to protect himself." King Yan said: "there will be no war in Mizhou. Lord Tang can rest assured if he wants to come here - come and take Lord Tang down to have a rest."

Tang Changyu: "...!"

He's really at ease!

Soon two soldiers came forward, one left and one right, to take him down by force.

"Send out the news that Lord Tang has been killed by the king in order to protect his family members in the capital." King Yan told his deputy general.

"Since you have done something harmful to the world, why do you have to pretend!"

"Just take my life. When I came, I planned to come back!"

Tang Changyu had tears rolling from the corners of his eyes. As he was taken down, he said sadly and angrily, "Xie Dingchen, as Xie's blood, you not only didn't help the overall situation, but also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to harm your own country! Are you right about the spirit of the first emperor in heaven!"

The sound was gradually blocked by the rain.

King Yan looked at the rain outside the hall.

He is. He will help the overall situation.

He is protecting his family.

He never wanted to turn against Xie's rivers and mountains laid down by the former Emperor, but only those who should not sit in that position now.

It doesn't matter if Tang Shaofu doesn't understand now, and it doesn't matter if he still doesn't understand in the future. It's the same for a Tang Shaofu and people all over the world - he just needs to keep his promise with the general and go on.

Tang Changyu was dragged away from the front hall all the way amid the noise of the rain.

This scene was just seen by Princess sang Yun who wanted to explore the news.

"That... That's the imperial envoy from the capital?" she said in surprise, "how did you get dragged down?"

The maid holding the umbrella was also a little surprised: "the official robe should be from the capital..."

Princess sang Yun clutched her sleeves nervously.

The imperial envoy was dragged down by his father's people

Is that enough to explain

She suddenly turned away, so anxious and absent-minded that she even hit the maid's shoulder heavily.

"Princess, we won't go to the Lord?"

"Don't go yet!" Sang Yun's feet were very fast and her face was fluctuating - she had to tell ah Niang the big news first, otherwise she would be suffocated!

"What? The imperial envoy... The imperial envoy was escorted down by your father's men? Can you see?"

"Of course!" Princess sang Yun returned to the inner courtyard and told Princess Yan what she saw: "father, this must be a real decision..."

After walking all the way back, she thought she had calmed down a lot. Now she has lost much of her initial sense of fear: "Aung, if my father really did this, wouldn't you be the queen?"

queen?

Princess Yan looked stunned.

She never dared to think of these distant things

"Then the princess is the princess!" Dongzhi, the maid beside Princess sang Yun, said excitedly.

Dongneng frowned and reminded her, "speak carefully."

Dongzhi ignored her and said flattering words around Princess sangyun: "in the future, the princess will not only be the princess of Mizhou!"

Princess sang Yun didn't say anything, but her eyes were bright, her cheeks flushed with joy, and her jaw was slightly raised - if she really became a princess and the only daughter under her father's knee, I'm afraid all the despised ladies and ladies in the capital would come up!

By the way

And him.

It's said that the Wu family rebelled just for their father. If it works, the Wu family will be the hero of her family!

At that time, all the world will belong to her family. What reason can my father not fulfill her heart?

It was a teenage girl. At this time, she was dazzled by many beautiful imagination and had no fear at all.

Princess Yan is different.

All she saw was dangerous obstacles.

This road, a little careless, is doomed

She kept sweating in the palm of her hand, thinking and hesitating again and again. After her daughter left, she went to find the king of Yan.

She took a cup of soup to the study.

Even in Prince Yan's residence in Mizhou, he still rested in his study and almost never set foot in her bedroom.

"But something?" King Yan did not stop, but was dealing with military affairs. When he saw her coming in, he closed a secret newspaper.

"When I heard that the LORD was back, I came to see him... The autumn rain was cold. I asked someone to cook mutton soup to warm my body and drive away the cold. The Lord can drink some while it's hot."

"You have a heart." King Yan nodded, but his men didn't move. They just looked at her and asked, "can there be anything else?"
