Yu Junyan ignored Su Yuheng's objections, and ordered tens of thousands of imperial guards to be shot to death with arrows. Su Yuheng walked out of the room and smelled a disgusting smell of blood in the air, in the courtyard, the soldiers were washing the mottled blood stains on the bluestone slabs with water, but in the gaps in the bluestone slabs, Su Yuheng could still clearly see the rusty blood. Su Yuheng looked down at his hands, as if his hands were also stained with the blood of those people. As a healer, Su Yuheng's purpose in handing over the soft tendons to Yu Junyan was not to see more casualties, but he didn't want to end up with such a completely opposite result that he expected. The corpses of tens of thousands of people were stacked into a high mound, there was no place to bury them, Yu Junyan ordered their corpses to be burned clean, with the extinguishing of the fire, so the ashes left over from the burning of people's corpses were mixed together, and it was impossible to tell who was who, as soon as the wind blew, it was scattered in the air with the wind, and tens of thousands of imperial guards stayed in the border town of Shaliu City forever, and could never return to their hometown. Tens of thousands of dead souls are like a lump blocked in Su Yuheng's heart, and every time he thinks about it, he feels depressed, and on the way back to the imperial capital, he is rarely silent.

For the battle-hardened Yu Junyan, the lives of tens of thousands of people are just a drop in the ocean, and they can't be counted at all. He will neither panic nor blame himself, but for Su Yuheng, who is on the battlefield for the first time, it is a big shock in his heart. Maybe it's his woman's kindness, maybe he doesn't understand the cruelty of war, and he must not leave a trace of possibility for the enemy, although no one has ever mentioned this matter between the two of them after that, but it has planted a dangerous seed between Su Yuheng and Yu Junyan, and over time, the seed has taken root and sprouted, thriving, separating the hearts of the two of them.

As soon as he returned to the imperial capital, Yu Junyan sent all the people away, leaving only Su Yuheng alone, and secretly lived in the mansion he bought on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

In the dormitory, the emperor received a message that made Long Yan angry.

"What did you say?!" The emperor's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Chen Shan and said, "You repeat what you just said to me again!" ”

Chen Shan said in a low voice: "The Imperial Guards have not been able to kill the King of You'an County, they are now on the way back to the imperial capital, calculate the time, and they will arrive in four or five days." ”

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! The emperor slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the hot tea splashed everywhere, Chen Shan just lowered his head deeply, and he didn't dare to take a sip.

The Emperor shouted, "Call me all that waste!" ”

Chen Shan stepped forward and whispered: "Back to the emperor, there is no one who has returned." ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"The tens of thousands of royal guards sent to ...... All of them have been lost, and none of them have come back alive......"

The emperor's face turned from red to white, and he was silent for a long time before he asked softly with a little disbelief: "Tens of thousands of people...... None of them came back? ”

Chen Shan replied: "Yes, none of them have come back." ”

"Could it be that they betrayed me and took refuge in Yu Junyan?"

Chen Shandao: "It's not that this possibility, it's just that everyone's wives and children in the imperial guards are in the hands of the emperor, and they may betray you...... Not really, I'm afraid. ”

"You mean...... Yu Junyan killed them all? The emperor's voice was already a little trembling unconsciously, "In such a short period of time, he can train those ironclad troops who can't support the wall into elite soldiers?" Or did he secretly keep a hand for himself when he handed over the military power? ”

The Emperor sensed a threat he hadn't felt since he ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty." Someone in the temple shouted.

The emperor rubbed the corners of his forehead and said to Chen Shan tiredly: "Go and ask what is the matter, if it is not important, just say that I am not well, and send him away." ”

Chen Shan said: "Yes, the old slave obeys the order." ”

After a while, Chen Shan walked back with a person and said, "Your Majesty, what he wants to say is related to the King of You'an County." ”

"Oh? Something to do with him? When the emperor heard this, he immediately came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" Tell me about it. ”

The man replied, "My subordinates have received news from the spies planted near the city gate, and the ironclad army has returned to the imperial capital two days ago, but the king of You'an has not been seen in this team. ”

"What? They're already back? The emperor was puzzled in his heart, and it was clearly written in his heart that there were still a few days to arrive, so how could he come back early? The team is back, where did Yu Junyan go?

"You continue to send people to keep an eye on it, and if there is any disturbance, come and report it to me immediately!"

"Yes! Emperor. ”

As soon as the man left, the emperor asked Chen Shandao: "What the hell do you say Yu Junyan is doing?" ”

Chen Shan said: "This old slave can't guess, it's better to ask the king of the county to come to the emperor to ask in person." ”

"Call him?" The Emperor said, "Then for what reason should I call him here?" ”

Chen Shan said with a smile: "The king of You'an County repelled the army of Xiwa and protected the territory of our Yuan Kingdom, and now that he has returned triumphantly, the emperor naturally wants to set up a banquet for him to celebrate his achievements." There could not be more valid reasons for that. ”

The emperor glanced at Chen Shan angrily and said, "Do you still need to say anything about the celebration banquet?!" If Jun Yan makes such a great achievement, if there is a celebration banquet, he will inevitably be given an official and a knight, which is not equivalent to making him like a tiger. ”

The corners of Chen Shan's wrinkled eyes squeezed out a few slender lines, his shrewd eyes slid around, and said with a smile: "The old slave thought of an idea, I don't know ......"

The emperor interrupted impatiently: "Okay, okay, if you think of an idea, hurry up and tell me about it, don't want my mother-in-law." ”

Chen Shandao: "The old slave thinks that the emperor not only wants to hold a celebration banquet for the king of You'an County, but also to reward him, not only to reward, but also to reward him, and to repel the foreign enemies of Fanbang to protect the country, he should be given another knight and named the prince of one word." ”

"What?!" The emperor frowned and said, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, to let me make him a prince?!" You still think his position is not high enough, the threat is not big enough, do you? I even let me make him a prince?! ”

Chen Shan said unhurriedly: "The emperor is not anxious, listen to the old slave finish speaking." ”

The emperor suppressed his temper and said, "Say it quickly! ”

Chen Shan continued: "The old slave believes that the biggest threat to the prince of You'an County is not the emperor, but his half-brother, Youwang Yu Junqian. ”

Chen Shan's words seemed to give the emperor a wake-up call, his face changed, and he said, "Go on." ”

Chen Shandao: "Yu Junqian is the eldest son, he should inherit the title, Yu Junyan is a concubine, his mother is just the maid of Princess You, if you take this opportunity to promote Yu Junyan's title to the same as Yu Junqian or even better than Yu Junqian, think about it, what will Yu Junqian's heart think?" ”

The emperor said: "Naturally, it is very unhappy. ”

Chen Shandao: "Yes, and this time Yu Junyan went out to Shaliucheng to fight against the Xiwa army, which was originally to replace Yu Junqian, if you send some people to spread the rhetoric that Yu Junyan intends to replace Yu Junyan to fight for merit, are you afraid that Yu Junqian will not believe it?" ”

After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and showed a sinister smile, pointed at Chen Shan and said with a smile: "Jiang is still old and spicy, and the name of your old fox is really not called for nothing." ”

Chen Shan smiled humbly: "The old slave is just a little clever, and he doesn't dare to show off in front of the emperor." ”

The emperor smiled and asked, "Then according to your meaning, what kind of title is better for Yu Junyan to be awarded?" ”

Chen Shandao: "The old slave thinks that he can seal Junyan as the king of Fu and assign the Fuzhou area to him as a fief. Fuzhou is better than Youzhou in terms of geographical area and economic development, and the taste in the heart of the eldest son, who is pressed on the top of his head by the concubine, will definitely be more uncomfortable, and resentment will be easier to accumulate. ”

"Okay, just do as you say." The emperor said, "Tell me that I will hold a banquet in the evening to celebrate the success of the king of You'an County!" ”

"The old slave obeys."

No one knew that at this time, in the house on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Yu Junyan was giving birth with difficulty, and after receiving the news of going to the banquet in the evening, he did not hesitate to endure severe pain to induce labor.

At night, the king of You'an, who was dressed in purple and had a cold face, slowly walked into the main hall with his male concubine, who would show a mouthful of white teeth and smile so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows, and knelt down in front of the emperor, shouting Long live my emperor.

"Hurry up." The emperor smiled and bent his eyebrows, "My cousin repelled foreign enemies and protected the territory of my Yuan Kingdom, this is a great achievement, and after returning to the imperial capital, I will not say a word to me, so that I can celebrate for you." ”

Yu Junyan knelt down after hearing this, and made a sincere and frightened demeanor: "The younger brother was plotted by the enemy in Shaliucheng, and was seriously injured, and when he returned to the imperial capital, he was naturally delirious, so he had to find a doctor to treat me first, and he did not come to report the battle situation to the emperor in time, and asked the emperor to punish the crime!" ”

"Huh~~ You were injured to protect your family and country, how can I blame you." The emperor pretended to be concerned and asked, "Where did it hurt?" Is the injury serious? Would you like to send some imperial doctors to show you? ”

Yu Junyan said: "Emperor Xie cares, and the body of his younger brother is fine. ”

"That's good, that's good." The emperor glanced at Chen Shan beside him, Chen Shan stepped forward and shouted loudly: "The king of You'an County meets Jun Yan to receive the decree~~~"

Yu Junyan bowed his head and knelt down, and said respectfully: "The minister meets Junyan to accept the order." ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, the king of You'an County met Junyan to repel foreign enemies, protect the country, and was specially named the king of Fu, in charge of the boundary of Fuzhou, Qin this~~~"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live~~"
