The old emperor still died in the end, and he couldn't survive this month, and white flags were hung up in Beijing, and hundreds of officials mourned.
In the low death knell, it is unknown how many people are really saddened by the death of the old emperor.
His death was more or less sudden, but it was not surprising, everyone knew that the old emperor's body was not very good since the eighth day of the new year, but he still did not listen to the words of the imperial doctors, but more and more asked the Taoist priest Hu Tianhu in the immortal building, everyone saw that they couldn't persuade in their eyes, and their hearts were more or less numerous.
And as soon as the old emperor died, those true and false Taoist priests in the fairy tower began to suffer, and the civil and military officials in the court were already dissatisfied with this group of demons who bewitched the emperor, the emperor was moral, and it was never the emperor himself who was blamed and resented, but the flowers and plants that made him lose, and now the people who sheltered this group of flowers and plants are dead, and the people who have long been angry will naturally not let them go.
The first thing the three princes did when they came to the throne in order to calm the anger of the people and stabilize their throne was to knock down the fairy building, and all the Taoist priests in the building were imprisoned and beheaded.
Yan Xiubai, as one of the people who once "bewitched" the old emperor, of course it will not be much better.
So, for the second time in his life, he became a prisoner of the stairs.
He was quite calm, and he didn't panic too much, as the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, he was just wondering, how did the old emperor die?!
At the beginning, he really wanted to do it, but before he could actually implement it, the emperor died, which made him very surprised, was it an accident or someone did it in advance before he made a move?
Yan Xiubai's first thought was naturally Yan Changsheng, but according to the other party's methods, he definitely sneaked directly into the palace and slashed people, just like treating the eldest prince, simple and rude, and the silent way of making people die like now is really not like his means.
Just when Yan Xiubai was struggling with these in prison, he didn't know that in the imperial study in the distance, there were already people discussing using him as bait to take Yan Changsheng's life.
The third prince originally had such a martial arts master by his side, so he was naturally happy, especially since this martial arts master also helped him kill the eldest prince and destroy the biggest rival who competed with him for the throne.
But this was what he thought half a month ago, and now, half a month later, when he sat in this position, he suddenly felt that there was hair on his back, and he couldn't even sleep, Yan Changsheng's eyes that were darker than ordinary people always appeared in his mind.
Now is different from the past, when he was still a prince, he naturally couldn't ask for such a help, but now that he is the emperor, there is such a person who is not controlled, and it is as simple as drinking water when he enters the palace to kill people, how can he feel at ease.
When he couldn't sleep, all he could think about was to make the culprit disappear.
When Yan Huaiqing was called by him and listened to the emperor's plan, the old fox, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and he was a little undecided, and he said in an unsteady voice: "This, can this really be done?"
The third prince may not be able to do anything else, he is definitely an expert in conspiracy, he said in a deep voice: "Yan Changsheng is unpredictable, and his martial arts are so high that even if he goes to the rivers and lakes to find it, he may not be able to find someone who can beat him, but fortunately, he still has a weakness, that is, Yan Xiubai." ”
The young emperor's face was cold, and in Yan Huaiqing's eyes, he had a vague appearance of the first emperor, not the dim old emperor in his later years, but the first emperor who ruled the world in his early years.
Yan Huaiqing was still a little hesitant, so he listened to the other party continue: "I know that Yan Xiubai is a member of your Yan family, just to let Yan Changsheng enter the game, I can only sacrifice him, that person is too powerful, he will not die for a day, I will not be able to live in peace for a day, one day he wants to kill me, am I not like the eldest brother, I have no power to fight back?! So he must die! Yan Qing rest assured, Yan Xiubai can be regarded as dying for me, and I will definitely compensate the Yan family in the future." ”
This grace and power blocked all Yan Huaiqing's words, the emperor has made up his mind, and no one can stop it, and even if Yan Huaiqing has the ability to stop it, but between offending the emperor and the life and death of an unimportant clansman, no matter who knows how to choose, not to mention that Yan Huaiqing has always been a smart person.
Reason made him make a very correct choice, but when he went out of the palace gate, the cold wind blew on his body at night, and he suddenly shuddered, Yan Changsheng and Yan Xiubai played a big role in the enthronement of the third prince, he knew it clearly, but now, the third prince has just been the emperor for less than a month, and he decided to take these two heroes, today is them, will it be him in the future, will it be the Yan family?
When this thought flashed through his mind, Yan Huaiqing, who was scheming and calculating, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, preventing himself from thinking further......
Yan Xiubai never felt stupid, on the contrary, he felt that he was quite smart, this time he came in voluntarily, and even appeased Yan Changsheng, who came to see him, he felt that this was only temporary, why not, the emperor had no reason to kill him as a hero, not to mention that he was still a member of the Yan family.
In the end, he underestimated the sinister human heart.
Because suspicion and jealousy can put a person to death, even if this person is doing things for him and getting rid of his biggest competitor, this is something Yan Xiubai never thought of anyway.
When the fire was inexplicably lit and didn't know where it came from, he was still a little dazed, and then he heard Yan Changsheng shouting at him in the smoke.
Yan Changsheng, the dungeon of the Criminal Department, had been touched too many times, and he was very familiar with it, and he arrived at Yan Xiubai's location almost immediately.
"What the hell is going on, what's going on?" was the first thing Yan Xiubai asked when he saw him.
"Isn't this clear, the criminal department is on fire!" Thinking that when he heard the news just now, the trembling of worry and fear seemed to still stay in his heart, and now seeing people standing in front of him safely and worrylessly, Yan Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and was a little angry at the same time, he had already mentioned that he would let him go with him first, but the other party was still squatting in the cell, and he wanted to go out openly, otherwise how could he encounter such a thing, let alone make him so worried.
The light of the fire was already faintly about to burn inside, Yan Changsheng knew that he couldn't stay here for a long time, so he stepped forward to pull him away, but was interrupted by Yan Xiubai's "wait".
He frowned, puffed out his cheeks and said, "At this time, you don't plan to leave, stay here and wait for death?!"
Yan Xiubai ignored him, just sniffed his nose, almost choked on the thicker and thicker smoke, he covered his lips, and said in a deep voice: "Do you smell anything?"
"What ......"
As soon as Yan Changsheng spoke, he was grabbed by Yan Xiubai, and he rushed out by pulling him.
The pungent smell of sulfur came faintly, and Yan Xiubai understood everything between the lightning and flint, this is a trap, this trap is not aimed at him, Yan Changsheng is the target of the other party!
At this moment, he was annoyed, he should have thought that after Yan Changsheng killed the eldest prince almost unscrupulously, how could the third prince rest assured of him, especially since the other party was now the emperor, and the suspicion would only get heavier.
The army can't deal with a master like Yan Changsheng, even if it's a few thousand troops, although he can't deal with it, it's no problem to escape smoothly, and when the time comes, the emperor should be worried about his head all day long.
Since the bright one can't do it, then it can only come to the dark one, and Yan Xiubai is a very good chess piece.
Thinking that these were just momentary things, Yan Xiubai really wanted to knock Yan Changsheng's head, and then teach him well, what is the most important thing in being a human being, is to be low-key! You said that you are like a peacock, so blatantly showing your ability, can the third prince be so jealous of you? and even set up such a killing game for this fire punishment department!
With a bang, the explosion sounded in their ears, and the huge impact force surged towards them, Yan Xiubai had a sharp pain in his back, and when he fell into darkness, he didn't forget to hold Yan Changsheng in his arms and protect it......
I am afraid that the people of the whole capital will not forget the fire in the 33rd year of the Taiyuan Dynasty, which completely burned down the prison of the Criminal Department, one of the six departments of the imperial court, and all the prisoners held in it died without exception.
Probably because too many people died, and the cells that were rebuilt on the burned down site were even more ghostly, and there were many rumors that some wandering ghosts could often be seen inside, and the smell of burnt flesh could not be dispersed......
The emperor who had just ascended the throne was naturally furious and sent someone to investigate, but in the end, it was not resolved.
In the spring of the following year, the emperor changed the name of the year, and the new dynasty had a new atmosphere, and the fire gradually blurred in people's minds.
Chu Liuxiang is a prodigal son, of course the prodigal son can't be idle, whether he wants to or not, he will always be pulled into very troublesome things, just like now.
On the rivers and lakes, when it comes to swordsmanship, probably everyone knows that Xue Yiren is called the second, I'm afraid no one dares to say that it is the first, few people know that Xue Yiren's younger brother, the fool in the eyes of the world, his swordsmanship is not much better than his brother.
Even Xue Yiren was deceived by him for decades, until Chu Liuxiang revealed his identity as the head of a well-known killer group in the rivers and lakes.
Xue Xiaoren's sword is a murderous sword, and even Chu Liuxiang can never say that he will be able to win even if he is Chu Liuxiang before he dies, but his luck has always been very good, and at a critical time, someone who will definitely win.
The sword Yan Xiubai used was naturally the one Yan Changsheng gave at the beginning, and he hadn't seen blood since he got it in his hand, so this time it could be regarded as opening the sword.
The culprit Xue Xiaoren died, died under Yan Xiubai's sword, and the matter of Xue Jiazhuang was also over, after Chu Liuxiang thanked him, he was just about to joke about why he didn't follow him, but before the words could be spoken, the black figure had already appeared in his eyes.
He touched his nose and held back the words that came to his mouth, the little master can't be offended, the force is not enough, and he will suffer!
It's just that he didn't speak, it didn't mean that Yan Changsheng didn't have anything to say to him, when he was carrying Yan Xiubai on his back, he threw a knife over and warned him clearly, either don't make trouble everywhere, since he got into trouble, he will find a way to solve it himself, don't let Yan Xiubai know, let alone ask him to help!
Chu Liuxiang: "......"
He felt a little wronged, and in fact he didn't beg him a few times!
After separating from Chu Liuxiang, Yan Xiubai and the others did not rush to leave, but stopped and stopped, played around, and went wherever they went, and they all came over like this for more than half a year.
Yan Xiubai was originally joking with Yan Changsheng, it has been more than two years, since he saw Yan Changsheng again in this world, he seems to have always been like this, even his height has not changed, although he is sarcastic on the surface, but he is still a little worried in his heart, I don't know what the reason is, whether it is harmful to his body.
As far as height is concerned, Yan Changsheng has been used to his jokes, so he has some resistance, and he didn't care about it as much as he did at the beginning, but at this moment, he just argued the direction, and suddenly stopped and said: "If you go in this direction again, you will go to the capital, what, you finally figured it out and want to go back?"
Yan Xiubai was stunned for a moment, looked at the direction, and really, he didn't say a word, and immediately turned the horse's head.
Yan Changsheng followed, and there was silence all around, only the clatter of horses' hooves.
Yan Changsheng endured it for a while, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, frowned and said, "Just let them go like this?"
"What revenge, how to revenge?" Yan Xiubai said with some indifference: "Is it possible to go back to Beijing and kill the emperor?"
"Why can't you?" Thinking of Yan Xiubai's seriously injured appearance when he left Beijing, a touch of anger appeared on Yan Changsheng's face, "He wanted us to die first, we have a big life, and if we don't die, then it should be him who dies, in fact, if you hadn't stopped me, the emperor would have died a long time ago." ”
Yan Xiubai slowed down his horse, and when the other party caught up, he slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you killing him, killing all day long is just a bad scenery, it is better to accompany me to walk more places with this time." ”
Yan Changsheng covered his head, and his dark eyes revealed some grievances.
"It doesn't take much time to kill someone. ”
Yan Xiubai's hands itched again, he poked his face, raised his eyebrows and said: "It's easy to kill the emperor, but who will be the emperor when he dies?" There are few of the old emperor's remaining sons, either cowardly and incompetent, or they only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, the current emperor is the most promising of several princes, although he has no great ability, but he is still a little smart, if he dies, the world will be chaotic. ”
"It's chaos, what does it have to do with us?!" Yan Changsheng's eyes were indifferent.
Yan Xiubai sat behind him in a flash, riding with him, he pulled his ears and said, "Why doesn't it matter, the world is in chaos, can we still leisurely travel around the mountains and rivers?!"
Yan Changsheng frowned, and wanted to refute, but Yan Xiubai didn't give him a chance to speak, the horsewhip snapped, and the two people on the horse went away in an instant.
There was a question and an answer faintly in the wind.
"Where are we going?"
"You don't have enough ideological awareness, take you to practice medicine to help the world, and change your bad problem of not caring about anything!"
And his people's hearts are still a little short of the boss, so it may be a good idea to treat the sick and save people. 166 Reading Network
