At this moment, Shu Yao knelt at the bottom of the steps, only feeling chills all over his body, but he heard His Majesty's anger: "Shu Yao, it has been in vain that I have trusted you for so many years. You tell me, what are you doing with the troops in the starry night?" was called in Wushan in the middle of the night, no one had a good temper, the concubine said a few strange words, and His Majesty had to let someone serve him and change into a yellow robe.

Shu Yao's forehead clasped the ground, and his words were respectful: "Tell Your Majesty, Shu Yao just led the Praetorian Guards to eliminate harm for the people, but he didn't want to accidentally find out that there were people hiding weapons on the village, Your Majesty is aware of it." "It was originally a big drama planned in advance for the Su family, why has the wind changed at this time? Shu Yao answered correctly in front of the emperor, and at the same time wanted to straighten out this matter in his heart.

"Father, someone dares to hide weapons outside Jinling City and raise soldiers privately, I am afraid that it is the ambition of the wolf, and it must be investigated!" King Yu has already made up his mind to take advantage of this incident to wipe out the Su family, not to mention that since Shu Yao's people have found weapons in front of Yan Jin, how can this matter be put down lightly.

No, no, no! Whether it is standing in the situation of struggle in the court or standing in the great plan of the family and the country, this is not a tolerable thing! Su Yuan, as the pillar of the imperial court, has been a humerus for generations, and has been deeply blessed with the emperor's grace for generations, how can he do such a thing that harms the country! What is even more terrifying is the hidden motive behind this incident.

Beiwan has heavy troops, and large households have the habit of raising troops in the Yan Kingdom in those years, but over the years, they have gradually imitated the production method of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Jinling has become more and more peaceful. In order to reduce expenses, many people withdrew their subordinates, and even if they had private subordinates, there were regulations that limited the number of people to no more than 200. Military candidates are allowed to station private soldiers in the province, but the number of places is strictly controlled. So what is the reason why the Su family dares to do such a thing in the face of the world's condemnation?

What kind of motives did the Su family have to use so much force? What kind of sinister and treacherous things did the Su family do in the deep mountains behind the back of the royal family? In the past, it was heard that the Su family had never been peaceful, and that Su Cen Su Yuan and even the Su family's father and the Tujia county lord had been assassinated. Thinking about it this way, it is not unreasonable for the Su family to be so self-endangered? But why should they raise private soldiers on the mountains outside the city, and Dafang asked his father to register and raise them in the palace, so that they can be managed and guarded again, and they are better prepared?

"His Royal Highness King Yu is really powerful, even the last general who has just returned from the scene only knows that someone has hidden weapons on the mountain, and His Royal Highness King Yu actually knows that someone is raising troops privately on the mountain? Yan Jin's words are no longer very polite, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, it is rare to have such an attack on the spot, not to mention that the other party is still His Majesty's most important son.

His Majesty's gaze swept Yan Jin, Yan Jin used to be a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and when Prince Ning Lizhen opened the mansion, he gave the prince to be the prince's young guard, and at the same time he had the errand of the commander of the Praetorian Guard, which can be regarded as handing over the most powerful man in Jinling to the prince. At that time, Ning Lizhen was weak, and his temperament was modest, and the king of Bianguan Yu had already made great achievements in the south and north to seek military achievements, so he put Yan Jin and other ministers in the Donggong town house.

But I didn't expect that Ning Lizhen, who seemed weak and indifferent at the beginning, would be familiar with government affairs within a few years, not only chatting with the ministers very happily, but also having the reputation of "Peony Prince" among the people, and indirectly getting closer and closer to the Su family and the Lou family day by day, which had to make His Majesty want to suppress it a little.

I don't want to be injured later, and since then my body has been damaged and it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, although I am not guilty as a generation of emperors, but I do have a little regret in my heart. For the King Yu in front of him, he was even more disgusted!

Frankly speaking, if Ning Lizhen recovers as before, His Majesty will not be born fatherly. But he is no longer healthy, and His Majesty will count this account on the King Yu, who is the most threatening to win the throne with Ning Lizhen, which can be regarded as anger!

Ning Lizhen suffered, and the Yu Wang Party couldn't wait to write to His Majesty to depose Ning Lizhen and re-establish King Yu as the crown prince. The twists and turns even involved the prince Ning Lizhen, who was neither eldest nor grandson, although he was raised under the queen's knees, in fact, he was just born to a lowly person. And he has lived in the capital for a long time and has not made any achievements, and His Royal Highness King Yu guards the soil and mountains, and he must be an enterprising pioneer in the future!

His Majesty's heart to take the Southern Qi is well known, because the official takes this as the good words of the King of Yu, and hopes to tell His Majesty: Only by choosing a prince with great achievements like the King of Yu can it be possible to inherit His Majesty's wish and complete the long-cherished wish of annexing the Southern Qi!

But they forgot, Your Majesty Xiao thought about Nanqi for half his life, and was stopped by the ministers for most of his life, how could it be so easy for King Yu to do it in their eyes?

King Yu, he is so young! Could it be that he is already old? His Majesty asked himself this question countless times in his heart. Recently, I feel more and more powerless, I can't eat and sleep steadily, and I often have nightmares to think of my old friends.

His Majesty pulled back his train of thought, and looked at his son, who was ambitious and full of desire even if he knelt in front of him, and suddenly felt an indescribably complex gloomy feeling in his heart. This son, who is not yet thirty years old, has been fighting horses for many years and has made outstanding achievements.

Why was the person who was suppressed in the first place, Ning Lizhen, not him? Who of the two of them should be beaten?

His Majesty's gloomy gaze fell on King Yu, Su Yuan glanced at it slightly, and the corners of his mouth gently pursed an arc.

"Deputy Commander Shu, you led the Praetorian Guards in Jinling to attack wantonly, where did you put the military discipline and law? Knowing the law and breaking the law, how can I tolerate you? I used to remember that you killed your relatives with righteousness, and made a secret report to make meritorious deeds, and pardoned your sins. Now, what you have done is unforgivable. "Your Majesty is already asking for guilt when he speaks, and everyone present knows that the rules of the Praetorian Guard are under five thousand, as long as the king of Yu who is in charge of military affairs agrees, but the people present are afraid that this fire may burn to the king of Yu, so everyone is silent.

Shu Yao was stunned for a moment, she knew that today's matter had deviated from the original intention, but she still didn't understand why His Majesty refused to strictly investigate the Su family, why he refused to strictly investigate the Su family? Since the Su family could not be pulled down for the time being, if the king of Yu could be pulled into the water, it would be regarded as a merit. After all, the Su family is only the most extremely minister, and the only one who really competes with King Qinghe for the throne is King Yu. You can't put the cart before the horse!

So Shu Yao tightly grasped the order of the Yu Wangfu on his waist in his hand, and imposed a defense in front of His Majesty: "Your Majesty Rong Bing, Shu Yao knows that he has violated military law, so he should naturally bend down and ask for punishment! However, according to the laws of our dynasty, the transfer of the Praetorian Guard under 5,000 only needs to be given to the highest military official in Gyeonggi, His Royal Highness King Yu. Shu Yao counted a total of more than 4,800 people this time, less than 5,000. He had already asked His Royal Highness King Yu in advance, and His Royal Highness King Yu had also been allowed to leave the city. ”

Su Yuan looked at the order of King Yu in Shu Yao's hand, "It turns out that so many people are the big strokes of His Royal Highness King Yu, and they are so grassy that thousands of officers and soldiers are going to attack at night! Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yu is also fighting like this on the battlefield?"

These words made the faces of King Yu and His Majesty change. Yan Jin sighed: Su Yuan really deserves to be an old fox, King Yu has always been proud of his military achievements, he likes to win more with less, likes the rhythm of fast and ruthless, and has always taken the champion Hou as a model. However, in a few words, Su Yuan turned King Yu, who had always been brave and liked to raid behind enemy lines, into a generalist who sat firmly in the military tent and bullied more and less.

And what about Your Majesty? Your Majesty even has a wider territory than Northern Qi, and the supply is the most abundant, and what you need is a general who can surprise your troops. In this way, Su Yuan turned King Yu into a mediocre talent surrounded by a hundredfold. Well, then, it seems that this is only his usefulness!

King Yu's face really changed, he looked at these self-proclaimed veterans of the former dynasty and felt aggrieved, these people took the favor of the court and pushed everything back to everything, and the corpse was vegetarian. In addition, the Lou Xiang has left recently, and it is even more rebellious for Su Yuan to dare to raise private soldiers in Daoge Village, so he scolded: "This king is fighting back again and again on the battlefield, unlike the prince of the country, who walks in front of the palace with a hearty wine banquet." Guogong still don't talk about him left and right, do you dare to say that those things in the village have nothing to do with your Yasukuni Mansion?"

As an authoritative prince who fought in the military power, no one understands the importance of military power to a person better than him.

With enough military power, you can get close enough to that position! With enough strength, you can do whatever you want and dominate the grand plan!

His Majesty looked at Shu Yao, King Yu, Su Yuan, and finally looked at Yan Jin, "What did Qing see at the scene?" At this time, he still preferred to believe in his former ministers. Don't blame anything else, in the face of an ambitious prince who is still attached to his ministers, no matter who the other party is, he has already taken the top.

Yan Jin is not a minister, even if he used to be a loyal princeling, but as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, even if he intends to support the prince, firstly, because of His Majesty's instructions, secondly, he was also impressed by the prince, and he was originally loyal. But in front of His Majesty, he is indeed the most objective, "Back to Your Majesty, there are indeed amazing discoveries in addition to that group of bandits on the village. The last general was in a hurry to bring Deputy Commander Shu into the palace, and he didn't have time to count the number of Praetorian Guards and the number of weapons harvested at the scene, so he only ordered the deputy commander to stop all actions according to His Majesty's order. However, the last general left his subordinates to assist in the scene. "When it comes to assisting the scene, everyone knows that this is just a decent statement, that is, the on-site supervisor. It can be seen that Yan Jin completely distrusts the Praetorian Guard led by Shu Yao, and he doesn't give face like this.

His Majesty nodded, quite acquiescing to Yan Jin's approach, both following orders and improvising, and his attitude was actually gentler: "Is that subordinate of yours here?"

Yan Jin turned his head to look outside the door, and the father-in-law at the door immediately saluted His Majesty: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Zhou is here." As he spoke, he raised his voice in a high voice, "Lord Zhou's audience is here." ”

His Majesty couldn't remember which Lord Zhou it was, so Yan Jin had to explain, "It's last year's martial champion Zhou Ke." "Although he is a champion, because he is a newcomer, His Majesty will not be promoted until the next year, and now he is just a famous idler. The martial artists are like-minded, no wonder Yan Jin arrested him to be a strong man.

Su Yuan's face was expressionless, and His Majesty's expression couldn't see joy or anger, just looked at Su Yuan: "It's an old acquaintance!" Zhou Ke is the nephew of Su Yuan's concubine Zhou, speaking of which, Zhou's younger brother was Wu Tanhua many years ago, and this Zhou family is really promising. Although the ancestors are mediocre, these two generations are full of talents. It's just that Aunt Zhou, who had just added a son to Su Yuan's house before, had an accident, although there was no storm, but the people in front of her were not ignorant.

Zhou Ke came in, and the etiquette was so thoughtful that there was nothing to find fault with, "Back to Your Majesty, the number of the Praetorian Guard has been cleared this time, and there is no doubt that there are five thousand people." As for the village······ Earlier, when I waited for the soldiers, some soldiers found the weapon, but for the sake of the emperor's order, all the soldiers who had already set foot on the village were recalled. At this moment, only people are left in the same place, and it is not clear how many weapons there are and whether there are private soldiers. But at the entrance of the cottage, there is indeed a blood pear flower totem of the Su family. ”

However, this week is indeed a talent, but he has a false title of martial champion, and he doesn't even have the official position of a nine-rank sesame official, so he dares to rely on Yan Jin's words to fight against the party of King Yu, who is in the limelight. Not only are newborn calves not afraid of tigers, but they are also heroes from ancient times!

After Zhou Ke finished speaking, Shu Yao sneered in his heart, this Zhou Ke is really good at doing things! Don't do what should be done, do what shouldn't be done blindly! When he found that there were weapons hidden on the mountain, he even just recalled the soldiers instead of arresting the criminals? Now that he has the mark of the Su family, should he pay attention to the direction of the wind at this time?

Shu Yao sneered in his heart, but he didn't want King Yu beside him to think about one thing, his mind came in the first sentence that came in Zhou Ke, "The number of the Praetorian Guards has been cleared this time, and there is no doubt that there are five thousand people." ”。 Shu Yao clearly promised again and again that in order not to leave a tongue on people, there would definitely be no more than 5,000 people, so he didn't delve into it here. As soon as Shu Yao came to be noble, he was a minister in the same hall and a military general, so he paid more attention to Shu Yao of women. After a few cooperations, Shu Yao is indeed not bad, so King Yu is not suspicious. But at the moment, he can't think too much. Shu Yao javascript: Could it be that he had the intention of pulling him into the water like this from the beginning?

There was also an agreement at that time to see the signal that it was done, but now it is clear that the situation has changed, and Shu Yao just released the signal flare without telling him, which almost made him show his mind in front of his father.

Sure enough, due to the limitations of his identity experience, Shu Yao's complaint and dissatisfaction were just thinking about it in his heart, and King Yu beside him had already snorted coldly: "Father, whether Shu Yao violated military discipline will be discussed later." Now, shouldn't we ask Yasukuni Gong why the Su family's mark is in such a place? What exactly is the Su family plotting?"

King Yu's mind is very pure, the goal of this matter at the beginning was to defeat the Su family, and now no matter how many changes have happened, as long as the final goal is completed, it can be regarded as a victory. What's more, it's not a basin, this matter is not innocent.

His Majesty's gaze fell on Su Yuan from time to time through King Yu, and when King Yu saw this, he said while unconcealing his dissatisfaction with the Su family.

When King Yu's voice fell, His Majesty stiffened his face and smashed the teacup on King Yu's right shoulder: "Enough!" The water in the teacup was originally just added, and it was still steaming, so it smashed straight on King Yu's shoulder. King Yu pursed his lips and didn't speak, and the fist in his sleeve gurgled underneath.

Shu Yao was also a little incredulous, His Majesty was not a tyrant, but today was obviously different. This series of things is out of touch, what went wrong?

First of all, Yan Jin came with His Majesty's warrant, and His Majesty covered up everywhere and did not distinguish between right and wrong, what is Your Majesty afraid of?

And Su Yuan, who was standing straight to the side, didn't look at them, only closed his eyes and ignored them, as if he was desperately unwilling to face them, and closed his eyes deeply. Hearing the sound of the teacup spinning on the ground, he suddenly smashed his knees on the ground: "Your Majesty, Weichen is too great, please punish Your Majesty!" Su Yuan's voice was full of deep helplessness and depression

His Majesty was stunned word by word, staring at Su Yuan Jiangqi's lips tightly: "What's the matter?"

"The Su family recruited private soldiers privately and gathered on the top of the village to hide their traces. ”

There was a gasping sound next to him in disbelief, he actually recognized it, he actually recognized it······
