The four of them entered the cell, as if to wake up the contemplative fake emperor, he slowly raised his head and looked at a few people, this face is his true appearance, not intact skin has been cut into shape, it seems that he can be more similar to the emperor after wearing a mask.

Zi Yao shook his head, and when the Eight Kings approached him, he didn't rush up to fight or retaliate as everyone expected, but squatted opposite him and said seriously.

"Fake is fake after all, the difference between you and me is that I have a family, and they have no hesitation to save me, but what about you? Your Li tribe really obeys your control? I think your brother was able to poison you back then, and he can do the same today!

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, this trip to the south is not a peace negotiation with peace in mind, as you arranged, my daughter's order is to clear the Li people who invaded my Northern Wei Kingdom, just like those forbidden troops you control outside the dormitory.

If the speed is fast, you will be able to get the news in another five or six days, and the people of your Li tribe will be ruined because of your greed, and this is your explanation to your ancestors. ”

These words seemed to touch the false emperor who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, he roared like a beast, stood up at once, and pounced on the eight kings, close to half an arm's length apart, and was restricted by the iron chains on the wall.

"This is exciting, you killed my imperial brother back then, and mutilated my eldest son, and tracked Wanyi's whereabouts for more than ten years, how can I return these?

If I hadn't wanted to share with you what happened to your Li people, I wouldn't have come to see you, you would have lived well, as an ordinary person. ”

After saying that, the eight kings got up and prepared to leave, which made Zi Yao a little puzzled.

The false emperor opened his mouth for a long time, and said in a voice like a broken gong, "Please, kill me!"

The Eight Kings shook their heads, "I begged you the same thing, I asked you to spare my family and kill me!"

The four of them were gone, and the fake emperor hung on the chain and made a whining sound in his mouth, and if you looked closely, you would definitely see that he was crying.

Zi Yao guessed that the friendship between the eight kings and this fake emperor was still very deep, otherwise they would not have done this, one reason was that the mother of the original owner had disappeared for many years and had not been heard from.

Zi Yao took the key back and studied it carefully, but she didn't find anything unusual, and it was all taken apart to be a pocket watch.

Seven days passed like this, and the enthronement ceremony of the eight kings was only a sacrifice at the temple, after all, this practice was also for the safety of the border during the extraordinary period.

Sure enough, on the day of his accession to the throne, he received an urgent military intelligence report of 800 miles, and the southward march to pacify the Li tribe has been completed, and now he is already on the way back.

Because it was her daughter's plan that could be so perfect, such a fast record really shocked other surrounding countries.

Seeing this, the new emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to inform the surrounding countries about the new emperor's accession to the throne of the Northern Wei Dynasty, seven days later, Pang Long led the Murong army back to Beijing, and Nangong Yan was imprisoned all the way, although he wanted to question Murong Xu, but he was powerless to resist in the face of the battle-hardened Murong army.

The southbound Murong army arrived in the capital, Nangong Yan threw off the shackles of the soldiers, changed into court clothes and went straight to the palace.

He rushed in, because he came in late, he didn't dare to rush ahead, and stood directly at the end of the civil official line with the officials who entered the main hall, and took out a wat board to cover his face, after all, he didn't want those old generals to obstruct his advice.

As soon as he stood still, the eunuch shouted that the emperor had arrived, and all the ministers knelt down, and the new emperor strode in and sat on the dragon chair.

"Zhongqing, which secretary has something to do?"

The ministers below began to report on the matters they were responsible for, especially the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and handed over the congratulatory letters from several surrounding countries to the great eunuchs, but they did not elaborate on the contents, only that each country sent a gift list.

Nangong Yan was completely immersed in his plan, and did not pay attention to it in detail, seeing that no one stood up to make a report, he held up the wat board and knelt down in the middle of the civil and military officials, and said loudly.

"Chen Nangong Yan has this report!"

Because he was standing far away, the new emperor didn't hear it clearly, and hurriedly asked the great eunuch to lead people closer.

Nangong Yan lowered his eyes and walked to the middle of the main hall, where the second-rank civil and military attachés were side by side, and knelt down in their robes.

"Chen Nangong Yan was ordered to go south for peace talks, but he did not complete the peace talks as entrusted by the emperor, but General Murong Xu led people to exterminate all the Li people, and did not negotiate with Nanyi, and Weichen has been imprisoned by Murong Jun all the way, and has just returned to Beijing to report to the saint, please ask the saint to be the master of Weichen. ”

As soon as these words were said, the main hall was full of inhalation, Nangong Yan was a little surprised, and glanced at the surroundings slightly from the corner of his eye, and the second row of military attachés stood Murong Xu.

His anger came up all of a sudden, forgetting his humility and upbringing, after all, he had been locked up for more than ten days and his sense of grievance made him forget everything, and he was about to scold when he pointed his finger at Murong Xu.

Before the words could be spoken, a person came out of the civil official team, holding the wat board and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the dog has just arrived in Beijing, and he is too tired and a little vain, and I hope the emperor will not blame him." ”

The new emperor looked at Nangong Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded slightly, "Lord Nangong doesn't need to worry too much, I am not a mediocre person, Nangong Yan raised his head!"

Nangong Yan was a little confused, why did his father rush out and say that he was lying about it? And when he got closer, he found that the emperor's voice was very strange, so he followed the emperor's advice and slowly raised his head, this look really scared him!

Why did he just go to Nanyi once, and when he returned to the capital, the emperor was changed? This new emperor resembled the eight kings, but it was somewhat different, and his mind was in chaos.

I didn't know it, I knew by looking at my father's appearance that I must have done something wrong, Nangong Yan's mind turned a thousand times at this time, and now he said more and made more mistakes, so he quickly stopped saying words and continued to bow down, got up and stood in the ranks of civil officials, reducing his sense of existence.

Murong Xu bowed down and bowed, "Your Majesty, now that the Li people have been annihilated, Nanyi has already asked for peace, and promised to worship every year, I don't know how the emperor decides?"

The new emperor thought slightly, "Now that my Northern Wei Dynasty has been fighting for many years, the strength of the country is worried, and it is the most important thing to accept their invitation first, and rest and recuperate."

Nangong Aiqing, you led the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to formulate temporary legislation to encourage farming, and I must ensure that all the wasteland in the Northern Wei Dynasty is cultivated, the treasury is full, and the people live in peace. ”

The boss of Nangong and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Industry all knelt down to accept the order, and the great eunuch announced his retreat from the dynasty and left Nangong Yan and Murong Xu behind.

The two followed the new emperor towards the upper study, and along the way, Nangong Yan kept looking at Murong Xu, guessing that he had already known all this, maybe Murong Xu was the one who assisted in ascending the throne, and now he left himself to be guilty?
