Yan Min lowered his eyes, looked at his hand on his lap in distraction, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, slowly glanced at Yan Xu, and then looked away, "I'm not dead, are you disappointed?" ”

Yan Xu said: "The minister is panicked, and His Majesty is too worried." ”

Yan Min sneered, "How worried about me? From the beginning, you made up your mind to see my jokes, and now that it is as you wish, you are not so happy in your heart. ”

He can see clearly, it is said that Yan Min's royal expedition was originally promoted by him, and seeing his current down-and-out appearance, he should gloat, but the strange thing is that he actually has a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, probably a brother who is related by blood. Yan Xu sighed lightly, "The minister doesn't dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty." ”

The corners of Yan Min's mouth twitched, although he didn't say anything more, but looking at the look, he obviously didn't believe it, and only asked, "What about General Liu?" I've returned, why didn't he come to see me? ”

He asked about the general who accompanied him on this expedition, his own uncle Liu Zhen. Yan Xu said respectfully: "Liu Zhen, as a general, misjudged the military situation and deceived the holy hearing, so that His Majesty was in danger, and the crime cannot be punished. ”

As early as when Yan Xu led his troops out of Mochiyue Pass to join the army in Lanjiang, he had beheaded Liu Zhen in front of the army for the first time. When Yan Min heard this, he was furious on the spot, jumped up and pointed at Yan Xu and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Xu, you bastard!" Liu Zhen is my uncle, how dare you kill him? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Yan Xu stood there casually, with a relaxed posture and a tall posture, although he had not rested all night, his handsome face was still full of energy, which was in strong contrast with Yan Min's premature decline.

He smiled disapprehantly, "Your Majesty, Liu Zhen's mistake before the battle is a fact, when the Wei army feinted to abandon the three cities, if it weren't for Liu Zhen's greed for merit and instigated His Majesty to continue to go south, how could His Majesty fall for the Wei people's treacherous tricks and be taken away by the Wei people and suffer humiliation?" According to the minister's opinion, Liu Zhen led the troops all the year round and was familiar with military books, but he couldn't even detect the tricks of the Wei people to feint and lure the enemy, and he was really suspicious. Looking back now, from the time the Wei people sent troops to His Majesty's decision to drive the expedition in person, Liu Zhen has been trying his best to pinch him, and his identity is really suspicious. ”

Yan Min's chest rose and fell violently, "You, do you suspect that he is a middleman of the Wei State, collaborating with the enemy to judge the country?" You are talking nonsense! He is my own uncle, how can he harm me? If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, Yan Xu, don't think that I don't know your wolf ambitions, you want to eradicate the people around me one by one, so that I can obey you. Don't you think! Liu Zhen is my own uncle, he won't harm me, I believe in him, you are the one who wants to harm me! ”

Yan Xu's expression remained unchanged, with a decent smile on his face, "Your Majesty, after all, you are young, and you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, you don't know that the world is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Many people and things are not what you see on the surface, just like Zishuo at the beginning, and now the Xiangwang of Wei is comfortable, the minister still remembers that His Majesty loved An Yi at the beginning, but when he turned his head, how did An Yi repay His Majesty? His Majesty is kind-hearted and unwilling to guess people's hearts with malice, but as everyone knows, not everyone will repay virtue with virtue. ”

Yan Min's face couldn't help but become ugly, when An Yi was imprisoned by Yan Xu in the Rui Wang's Mansion, he also deliberately interceded with Yan Xu and asked him to let An Yi go, Yan Xu refuted him at the time, saying that An Yi was a Wei person, and the lurking Jin Kingdom must have a plan. And the person who kidnapped him this time was precisely An Yi, who deliberately mentioned An Yi at this time, clearly mocking him for not knowing people clearly.

Yan Xu paused, and then continued: "Maybe it's because the ministers are too worried, Liu Zhen is not secretly communicating with the Wei people, but not to mention anything else, the crime of poor escort alone is enough to be a typical example." His Majesty's defeat this expedition was all due to a mistaken belief in Liu Zhen, even if he was punished by his whole clan, it was not enough to exonerate him, but the minister remembered that His Majesty was merciful, and Liu Zhen was His Majesty's uncle, so he had to leave some dignity for him. His Majesty recuperated for a while, waited for the ministers to clean up the Wei people, and decided to teach His Majesty to return to the dynasty in a beautiful manner. ”

Yan Min sat back on the couch in defeat, in fact, from beginning to end, Liu Zhen was obedient to him, especially when the Jin army broke through the three cities of Liaozhou, when he shouted to pursue the victory, Liu Zhen persuaded him bitterly, but then he was carried away by the illusion of victory, and he couldn't listen to anything, so that when Liu Zhen persuaded him again, he also blasted him out of the account unhappily, and also put hateful words, whoever persuaded him again would cut off his head.

Yan Xu put all the fault on Liu Zhen in a few words, but he just took care of his face as an emperor and found a scapegoat for him. But so what, even if the Jin army won a big victory in the end, he, the son of heaven, was able to return to the dynasty, and the Jin kingdom, from the courtiers to the women and children in the countryside, who didn't know that he was an emperor who suffered a defeat and was taken captive by the Wei people? And in the end, it was Yan Xu, the son of King Rui, who turned the tide and rescued him, the emperor in distress.

Yan Min was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that Yan Xu harbored evil intentions, but he couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he had to thank him for his thoughtfulness. But what can he do now? He has neither the ability to kill the enemy but also the courage to correct Liu Zhen's name. The only thing he can do is to put the fault on Liu Zhen according to what Yan Xu said, otherwise once Yan Xu is more serious, he will have to punish Liu Zhen's whole family, and he will be even more sorry for this uncle.

He closed his eyes weakly and waved his hand at Yan Xu, "It's hard work." ”

At the beginning, the emperor was in the hands of the Wei people, and the Jin army was beaten with a rat trap, and now the emperor returned safely, and the Jin soldiers who had been holding back for a long time were finally released, and Yan Xu transferred from the west of Jin to the 100,000 army under the command of Hua Yuan's father, Ping'an Hou, and he led the original 40,000 army to attack from the north and south. Qi withdrew its troops due to Jiang Mei's death, and for a while he didn't care about his original promise, and he didn't continue to send troops to reinforce him. The Wei State fought alone, although Li Lu resisted stubbornly, but the strength of the Jin army's soldiers and horses was there, and after fighting to the death for half a month, Li Lu was beheaded by Yan Xu under the horse.

At the end of July, Yan Xu personally led the ghost army to rush into the city of the king of Wei, and captured thousands of people including concubines, princes, clansmen, and hundreds of officials including the king of Wei and escorted them to the Yicheng of the Jin Kingdom.

"From now on, there will be no more Wei in the world?" Ye Xuan stood on the city wall, looking at the escort team that meandered away, except for the king and queen of Wei sitting in the prisoner car, all the captives could only walk, the women cried loudly, and the men looked numb.

"Dare to despise my great Jin national prestige, raise troops to attack, and deserve to end up like this."

Different from her stunned expression, Yan Xu looked at the team that could not see the end at a glance, but her phoenix eyes were dim and uncertain. Since the defeat of the Wei army, An Yi has been nowhere to be found, and it has just been reported that he has led the rest of the Wei prince to defect to the Qi State.

He asked Ye Xuan carefully before, and learned that Yunzhu took the initiative to show up in order to save her that day, and used Fuxi gossip as bait to lure away An Yi, and later An Yi sent someone to send a letter to Yun Wen, telling Yun Wen where Yun Zhu was buried, so that Yun Wen could bury her back to the Jin Kingdom, which showed that An Yi had taken the Fuxi gossip into his hands. Now An Yi has the map of the ten directions in his hand, as well as the Fuxi gossip, he took these two things to the Qi country, and he doesn't know what he will do next.

Seeing his sword eyebrows tightened, Ye Xuan reached out to hold his hand, "Jinyun, when will we leave for Yicheng?" ”

Yan Xu came back to her senses and smiled at her, "Let's go back tomorrow, we should be able to arrive before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

She was slightly stunned, "So fast?" It's okay for us, can Your Majesty withstand the rush of the road? ”

"He has been recuperating for a period of time, it should be fine, besides, after all, the conditions in the army are not as good as in the palace, and it is better to return to Yicheng as soon as possible to recuperate."

She nodded, "That's right." ”

There is only a little more than a month before the day of the extreme yin on September 15, Yan Xu is worried that there will be something wrong with the Qi country, so it is safe to return to Yicheng as much as possible, and after the day of the extreme yin, he has no worries, and the first thing to do is to raise troops to attack Qi.
