The spring breeze blows, and the towering castle of Kyoto fades from winter and is covered with a layer of spring warmth.

The corners of the wall have successively grown out of the Champa rice that is born in the city, and before you know it, it is the end of March.

The triumphant Central Army of Jiuchen was majestic and mighty, entering from the main gate. The palace sent King Gong Yeshu with several ministers to greet the army.

Yelan and Yefan drove their horses in front, Hai Shengyue was behind, their eyes met with Yeshu, and each other's moods were self-evident.

"Congratulations to the fourth brother on his great achievements and triumph. Ye Shu yin and yang are weird, and there is jealousy and disdain between his eyebrows.

The corners of Yelan's mouth outlined a mocking smile, and Ye Shu was furious when he saw this, but he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only snort coldly.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, the king of light Yelan Qi Yefan and the commander of the Central Army Hai Shengyue have made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebels, and pacified the Western Song Dynasty and solved the great trouble in the west of our dynasty. Chin!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live. "The armies saluted.

"Fourth brother, come with me to the palace. Ye Shu's tone was cold, and although he was smiling, his smile was very stiff.

Hai Shengyue settled the Central Army first, and Yelan Yefan took Murong Yongci into the palace together.

In the splendid Jiuchen Palace, in the Taiji Palace, Emperor Zhaoning on the high seat was dressed in a yellow robe and wore a golden crown, which looked formal and solemn as never before. - Except for the regular court meeting on the first day of each month, Emperor Zhaoning would not dress so solemnly.

On both sides of the dragon chair, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, the civil officials are headed by Xiao Wanmian Xiao Xiang, and the military generals are headed by Fan Bozhong.

Yelan and Yefan approached and saluted, "The son knocks to see his father." ”

"Flat. Emperor Zhaoning raised his hand and motioned to the eunuch standing aside with his eyes to announce the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said~, today the light king Yelan pacified the traitor Yunzhonghe, defeated the Western Song Dynasty, the great enemy in the west of our dynasty, and made great contributions, unprecedented in history. In particular, I decided to crown King Yelan of Light as the protector of the king, and in addition, the king of Qi assisted in quelling the rebellion and was crowned the king of the iron hat. Chin this~~~"

"The son thanked his father, Emperor Longen. Yelan and Yefan knelt down on one knee to receive the order.

"Get up. "Emperor Zhaoning said. After speaking, he moved his gaze to Murong Yongci behind Yelan and looked at him for a moment.

Murong Yongci knelt down and saluted, "The criminal minister Murong Yongci knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

"You are Murong Yongci. Emperor Zhaoning pondered.

"Exactly. Murong Yongci didn't panic in the slightest.

"Father, Murong Yongci has already lowered my nine dusts and assisted the army in attacking the Western Song Dynasty. Yelan said loudly.

"Father, Murong Yongci was a powerful subordinate of Yunzhong Crane before, how do you know that he really surrendered, instead of surrendering to wait for the opportunity?"

The minister seconded. Fan Bozhong bowed his head.

"Father, Murong Yongci is a rare general, and his subordinate camp can be called an elite army on the Kyushu continent. Yelan said.

"Is Jiuchen like a tiger with wings, or is the fourth brother like a tiger with wings?" Ye Shu said with bad intentions.

"Shut up!" Emperor Zhaoning scolded.

"Father, the son feels that if he has this doubt, he might as well leave Murong Yongci in Kyoto to be crowned a prince, just under the imperial city, it is impossible for Murong Yongci to make waves. Yi Wang Yeji interjected.

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Shang Ye, who had not said a word, "Shang Ye, I want to hear your opinion. ”

Shang Ye raised his head, his gaze was still cold, "The minister agrees with His Royal Highness King Guang." ”

"Commander Shang..."Ye Shu was a little surprised. His eyeliner in the palace told him that Emperor Zhaoning made him the prince because Shang Ye had spoken, and he thought that Shang Ye was supporting him... Could it be that he is just following the general trend, not because he supports himself.

"Okay, then do it. "Emperor Zhaoning's head," passed the decree, enshrined Murong Yong as the Marquis of Dongbo, and his generals were named earls, and the title was drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen. Murong Yong made a gesture.

It just so happened that Hai Shengyue also came in at this time, and Emperor Zhaoning motioned to the eunuch to announce the last will.

"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said ~ Hai Shengyue, the commander of the Central Army, was meritorious in pacifying the Western Song Dynasty, and was specially named the king of Zhennan. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hai Shengyue hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"Hai Shengyue, this time you captured the Central Capital, and you have made a lot of contributions, I will temporarily hand over the territory of the Western Song Dynasty to you for management, you don't want to live up to my expectations. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Hai Sheng jumped and hugged his fists.

"Okay, today's court meeting will be dispersed first, and the banquet will be arranged in the evening, and the secretaries will remember to come to the banquet. ”

"Yes. ”

After getting off the court meeting, Xiao Wanmian glanced at Yelan, Yelan understood that he got into the carriage and ordered the coachman to follow Xiao Wanmian's carriage and go to Xiao Xiang's mansion.

"Xiao Xiang. In front of Xiao Xiang's mansion, Yelan bowed to Xiao Wanmian, "This time Xiao Xiang entrusted Changle to me, I failed to take care of her, so she was injured, and I specially asked Xiao Xiang for guilt." ”

"The King of Light is serious. Xiao Wanmian returned the salute, he lowered his voice, "It stands to reason that you are my new master, Changle and I are your subordinates, and it is your duty for your subordinates to be injured for you." ”

This is ridiculous. Yelan said, "You are the one who carries me, and Changle will be my woman in the future, how can you say that?"

"Your Highness comes in first, it's convenient to speak inside. Xiao Wanmian changed the topic, Yelan nodded, and the two entered the mansion.

At this time, there was a teahouse in Kyoto, and Yefan was sitting there drinking tea. He changed his clothes, dressed in black, and at the neckline was a blood-red flower, the flower of the underworld, Manju Sahua.

"Guest, are you here for tea?" A middle-aged man dressed in a fancy costume covered his face with a mask, and a black rose was embroidered on his cuffs.

"Is there a noble boy in the private room on the second floor?" the middle-aged man said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I'll take you there. The shopkeeper led the way in front, and the middle-aged man went upstairs, knocked on the door twice in front of the room, pushed the door in, and closed the door again.

"See the host. The middle-aged man saluted.

"What about Murong Yongxi?" Ye Fan put down the teacup, different from the free and casual tone in the past, today he is like a different person.

"Back to the master, it will take some time for Murong Yongci to see the new mansion, and he will arrive later. The middle-aged man replied.

After a cup of tea, there were two more knocks outside the door, Murong Yongci covered his face with a cloak, he closed the door, stared at Ye Fan for a moment, and then bowed, "See His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

"General Murong is exempt. Ye Fan smiled again, "Sit down." ”

"Your Highness. Murong Yongci sat down, saw the middle-aged man, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Engong." ”

"Anyway, you've never seen him for what he really is. Yefan smiled, "Take off the mask and let him get acquainted with it." ”

The middle-aged man took off his mask as ordered, revealing his face. Murong Yongci's eyes widened, and he was shocked, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"It turned out to be ......"

"I'm surprised. Yefan smiled mockingly.

"Take it with you. Ye Fan commanded.

Murong Yongci sat down again, and looked at Ye Fan again, his eyes changed again, and he became respectful and afraid.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Ye Fan looked at Murong Yongxi.

"Your Highness, please. Murong Yong said.

"After a while, the edict of my father to canonize King Gong Yeshu as the crown prince should also be issued. And what you, Murong Yongxi, need to do is...... Give the evidence of Ye Shu's collusion with the rebels to the emperor and put Ye Shu to death. ”

"Why did His Highness help Ye Shu up first, and then ......" Murong Yongci didn't know the reason for this, and was very puzzled by this.

"I have my own reasons for doing so, and it will be better for me to do so. Ye Fan said impatiently.

"Yes. Murong Yongci bowed his head and said.

"Maintain a certain relationship with this king, and don't let the iron-blooded army under my father find out anything. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured. ”

"Okay, let's go. Ye Fan said, after speaking, he poured another cup of tea and drank it by himself.
