Chapter 216: He Yan's Death

As soon as the emperor wanted to pardon He Xian, He Xian died in the Yeting Palace, and the emperor felt that there was something strange about this matter. He ordered someone to investigate, the sinner who killed He Xian was already dead, and there was no evidence of death, so there was no reason for it. The emperor could only order He Xian's concubine to be buried, which was considered a thick burial, and it was worthy of the He family.

The emperor waited for the He family to come to thank him, but after waiting for a few days, the He family still did not move, and the emperor was a little impatient, and a holy decree announced He Yan into the palace.

"Your Majesty, thank you. Far away, He Yan knelt down, kneeling very humblely, like a minion, without the bearing of a prime minister at all.

The Emperor couldn't help frowning.

"The matter of the virtuous concubine ......"

"The courtiers are deeply sinful, Your Majesty is magnanimous, and it is the blessing of the courtiers to bury the courtiers thickly!" He Yan said, he was grateful, and his voice was crying, and he whimpered.

The emperor was stunned for a moment.

The palace was quiet for a while, only He Yan's cry was particularly harsh.

He Yan was uneasy in his heart.

His Majesty has been suspicious of him for a long time, warned himself with Xian'er's death, and sent Zhao Li to guard outside his mansion - for He Yan, announcing his entry into the palace is a Hongmen banquet, and he can only have a glimmer of life if he plays miserably.

Monarchs and ministers have their own thoughts.

The emperor said: "He Aiqing, the harem is the harem, the former dynasty is the former dynasty, the virtuous concubine has done something wrong, but I will never affect the previous dynasty because of the affairs of the harem." Who is loyal and who is traitorous in this court, my heart is like a mirror, and I know that He Aiqing has always been loyal. ”

He Yan's face couldn't help but turn pale.

Was the emperor warning him in a rhetorical language?

He Yan was even more uneasy when he left the palace.

The Emperor's frown was still unfurled.

The night is as cool as water, and the leakage is deeper and longer.

The emperor sat in the hall in his cloak and did not sleep for a long time.

"Your Majesty still doesn't rest?" said Gonggong Zheng, looking at the emperor's frowning brows.

The emperor couldn't sleep, and he remembered the old things in his heart. He was conceited of his talents, and he had always been controlled by others before, and he felt that as long as he got rid of the Gu family, he would be able to fully display his monarchial talents, and let Mochizuki prosper and dominate the world.

But four years later, nothing turned out to be what he had hoped.

He fought with Shuoyun, lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and returned with a heavy defeat, and now he is closed to the country to recuperate, and there are no generals available in the court, this Wenchen ......

"He Yan, I'm afraid of change. ”

Gonggong Zheng's face changed suddenly: "Your Majesty's meaning ......"

"He had been afraid, like a secret had been discovered by me, and he had used those actions to cover up his weakness...... And he thought I already knew. The Emperor said.

Gonggong Zheng didn't know how to answer.

The emperor exuded a killing intent, cold and piercing.

His hand tapped on the table, and he made a 'snort' business, and gradually became eager: "It's just that there is no one available in the court now, and He Yan can only keep it first." ”

When He Yan returned home, he couldn't sleep either, and he walked around his room, with a panicked expression on his face, as if he might be in trouble at any moment.

Mrs. He looked at him like this: "Master, let's go to bed late at night, and think about something tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow tomorrow, I don't have a tomorrow!" He Yan roared, his eyes blazing at Mrs. He.

Mrs. He was shocked, and her face changed: "But did Your Majesty say anything?"

"Does it matter what Your Majesty says? Zhao Li, who was guarding the door, said it all!"

Mrs. He suddenly lost her opinion: "Master, what should I do then?"

Her master has always been tactful, and Mrs. He has no idea how he ended up in such a situation.

What to do?

A decisive light flashed in He Yan's eyes.

He had to sacrifice his glory and years of accumulation to save his life!

"Go and call the butler!"

That night, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a carriage quietly set off from Hefu and headed for the suburbs. After about an hour, another wagon headed for the market.

The carriage it bought looked simple on the outside, but in fact it was inside with a thick carpet, and He Yan, Mrs. He, and the two sons and one daughter of the family were all inside. Inside were two crimson wooden chests, with enough silver for them to settle down in a new place.

The carriage turned a corner from the market and headed for the gate of Yecheng.

As long as they get out of Yecheng, it will be more difficult for them to be discovered, and all the way north, either Shuoyun or Turkic, there will always be a place for him.

The Turkic Khan was very fond of Han culture and was a man of great talent. If he can be appreciated by the Turkic khans, he can still be glorious. The most important thing is that he has been the prime minister of Mochizuki and knows the country very well, and the Turkic Khan is an ambitious one, and he can also help in this in the future attack on Mochizuki......

He Yan thought that the panic of a few days finally gradually dissipated, and he returned to his former indifference and elegance, dressed in Tsinghua.

"Sir, the city gate has arrived. The butler whispered.

He lifted the curtain and looked, and the city gate at night was dark and looming.

The steward handed the token to the defenders, and the heavy gate slowly opened, and a heavy voice sounded in the silence.

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The stopped carriage moved again, but it was only halfway through when it suddenly stopped, and the people inside stumbled and almost fell.

In the next moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and He Yan's face suddenly changed when he faced an ugly face.

This man is like an evil spirit, and he cannot get rid of it.

"Prime Minister He, where are you going in the middle of the night?"

He Yan opened his mouth and did not speak.

"Buying, visiting relatives, or ...... Absconding?" Zhao Li said to himself.

"Zhao Li, this official is an important minister of the court, how can you be allowed to insult you so casually? Although Your Majesty favors you, it is impossible for you to do anything wrong!" He Yan said sharply.

"Then go to your majesty. Zhao Li said slowly.

He Yan's lust was so strong that he couldn't hold it anymore. He was desperate in his heart, but he was just a paper tiger, and he wanted to fight to the death, but he couldn't scare Zhao Li at all.

He, along with his wife, two sons and one daughter, were packed and brought to the emperor by Zhao Li.

Zhao Li reported the cause and effect of this incident.

The emperor was thinking about it, and he could see the clues at a glance.

Now that he was employing people, he originally planned to continue to use He Yan, but he didn't expect He Yan to sit still by himself, so he ran away with his family with the money.

What is this not a weak heart?

These emerging families who rely on stepping on the top of the Gu family really can't support the wall in the mud.

"Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Your Majesty, and you must not be deceived by traitors!" He Yan cried, this time he really cried. Because the murderous aura on the emperor's body is undisguised, this time he is really going to kill him.

The emperor was already disappointed in He Yan.

He wanted to find an obedient and obedient courtier, but it turned out that this obedient person would also have his own careful thoughts, which was even more terrifying than Gu Xiong's blatant one.

"Whether you are loyal or not, Zhao Li will know if you are interrogated. The emperor said coldly.

He Yan's face suddenly turned as white as a piece of paper. The reputation of Zhao Liku's officials is known throughout Mochizuki. Those who fall into his hands, even if they do not die, are better than dead.

He Yan knelt in front of the emperor and cried: "Your Majesty, you must believe in the minister, the minister has no second heart for Your Majesty." ”

The emperor kicked He Yan out.

He Yan was pulled down.

"Your Majesty, if a good minister dies, the country will die!"

The night was not destined to be peaceful.

For the emperor, he finally recognized the true colors of these courtiers, for He Yan, he lost all his glory, for the He family, it was a catastrophe, and for Mochizuki, there was one less prime minister and one family.

However, for Gu Tianlan, this is actually just a play.

Li Yejin and He Yan, who was about to die, didn't know that they were just members of the play.

She carefully opened a net to contain what she needed, and now she finally closed it.

This net collects perfectly, with hardly any loopholes.

It did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Gu Tianlan's heart was excited.

It is a pleasure to take revenge step by step, and to watch those enemies who once formed a united front begin to turn against each other and kill each other.

In the past, He Yan took advantage of the wind to rise up, stepping on the Gu family to please and cater to the emperor, and when the He family became the first family of Mochizuki and was full of glory, did He Yan ever think that there would be such a day?

"A good minister, heh, he can also be called a good minister?"

She got up late at night, picked up the list she had hidden, dotted the red ink, and crossed the name He Yan off the list.

"It's true that a good minister can't be called, but it's true that the country will die. ”

Someone threw her a pot of good wine: "Such a beautiful day should be accompanied by good wine." ”

Gu Tianlan turned around and saw the man sitting on the windowsill, with Erlang's legs crossed, and he was unrestrained.

Gongsun Yi was probably the strangest person she had ever met.

This person obviously sits on half of the world, but he can still live as he wants. If it were someone else, shouldn't they sit in front of the endless twists and turns, dealing with the endless stream of state affairs?

"Come out. Gongsun Yi said.

Gongsun Yi went down from the windowsill, Gu Tianlan also jumped out, and before she could stand firmly, one hand clasped her waist, she suddenly rose into the air, and landed on the roof in the next moment.

Today's stars are still bright.

Gu Tianlan opened the lid and took a sip, and the rich smell of wine suddenly filled his entire mouth and nose.

Gu Tianlan likes to drink. Drinking with a group of soldiers, drying horses, occasionally comparing a fierce, killing more enemies on the battlefield than others, that feeling of freedom.

After she entered the palace, she has been restraining her temperament, and she is rarely contaminated with alcohol.

Gongsun Yi turned his head and saw the people around him with their heads up, their sharp chins and beautiful necks in full view, and their black grape-like eyes shining brightly, which were particularly attractive.

Gongsun Yi's heart was beating 'thump'.

These days were actually his most tormenting days.

Ah Lan didn't know him anymore, and Ah Lan treated him like an enemy.

When Gongsun Yi closed his eyes, he would think of the scene outside the city gate, when Ah Lan was getting farther and farther away.

His heart felt like he was being held by a fist, and he couldn't breathe.

When he captured Shuoyun, he was not happy at all, but had a bad time, and it was at that moment that he realized that Ah Lan was more important than the country he was thinking about.

This is four years ago, Gongsun Yi, who is obsessed with dominating the world, could never have imagined that there would be today's day.

Now, Ah Lan is sitting next to him again.

Gongsun Yi was lying on the roof, the breeze blowing across his face, and he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
