Chapter Seventy-Seven: Departure to Nanchu

Looking at Zhao Wenzheng's firm eyes, Yu Ruyan suddenly understood that Zhao Wenzheng was using Tang Yunluo's death as a bargaining chip to force himself to participate in the battle between Chen and Chu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Don't you want to avenge your beloved?" Zhao Wenzheng saw that Yu Ruyan seemed to be loose, and asked.

Yu Ruyan looked at Zhao Wenzheng, bit her lower lip lightly, and said after a while: "Okay, the sinners promised the emperor to lurk in the Chu State." But also ask the emperor to agree to the three conditions of the criminals. ”

Zhao Wenzheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which three conditions?" ”

Yu Ruyan said: "If I return to China, please make sure the emperor finds the person who framed me and Yunluo, and kill them quickly!" ”

Zhao Wenzheng paused for a moment, then nodded and said: "This is natural, I also responded to you just now, and I will help you with all my might." ”

Yu Ruyan continued: "The second condition, I hope that after the matter is completed, the emperor can take pity on General Yang Chuting's licking of calves and let the children go back to General Yang." ”

"This ......" Zhao Wenzheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, the children are older, so it is naturally not suitable to stay in the deep palace." When the time comes, they only need to study and practice martial arts during the day, and I will allow them to go home at night. ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said: "The last condition, please let the emperor let me go, let me go to the mountains and rivers, and no longer get involved in court politics." ”

Zhao Wenzheng's fingers lightly buckled the armrest of the chair, and only after a while did he say, "Okay, I promise you." University scholars are obsessed with landscapes and have no intention of politics, so why should I be reluctant? As long as the emperor's promise can be kept, and I will be assisted for another four years, I will let you go. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Ruyan said lightly.

Zhao Wenzheng stood up, saluted Yu Ruyan, and said solemnly: "I thank the scholars for the ancestors of Chen Guo and the people of the whole country." ”

Yu Ruyan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the sinners can't afford it. ”

When he went out of the room, he saw Xiao Feiqing looking at him with a solemn face, he accompanied Zhao Wenzheng, and he must have known a thing or two.

Xiao Feiqing said: "Your Majesty, you rest first, and I will discuss the specific matters with the scholar in detail." ”

"It's fine." Zhao Wenzheng agreed.

Yu Ruyan took Xiao Feiqing to her room, and Xiao Feiqing praised: "The university scholar is really elegant. ”

"Lord Xiao made fun of me." Yu Ruyan said with a smile, "I heard that Ling You is happy, and it is time to give birth to the day." Why don't you stay with her in Beijing? ”

"Because of your business, I came out with the emperor." Xiao Feiqing explained, "We'll go back in two days, you don't have to worry." ”

Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "After all, I haven't congratulated you yet." I haven't been able to ask for a cup of wine when you get married, but I heard that Chu Han is gentle and virtuous, and she must be a good wife. ”

Xiao Feiqing's eyes oozed a faint sadness, and he thought, Yu Ruyan, Yu Ruyan, you know who the person in my heart is, why do you need to ask like this?

"She's fine." Xiao Feiqing only said such a simple sentence, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes could not see the happiness of being a newlywed, and his face never showed the joy of becoming a father.

Yu Ruyan dodged Xiao Feiqing's eyes and asked, "Didn't you say that you still have to discuss specific matters with me?" ”

Xiao Feiqing took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Yu Ruyan and said, "The specific ones are written on it, you can see for yourself." Important information to memorize. ”

Yu Ruyan took the envelope and opened it to see that her disguised identity was written on it. After going to the Chu State, Yu Ruyan changed her name to Yun Ruo and entered the home of Qin Yuan, a powerful minister of the Chu State, as a desert escape. His father was a private school teacher, so he was literate, and he had a younger brother below, but the whole family died of the plague after the flood. He fled all the way to the famine, barely survived by sewing clothes for others, and finally came to the state of Chu.

"Did you write it down?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "Write it down, burn it." ”

Xiao Feiqing took it to the candlestick on the side and burned the letter.

Yu Ruyan asked, "How many people know about this matter?" ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "Your Majesty, you, me, and Li Shi." As far as the four of us know, on the way to Chu State, Li Shi will arrange someone to escort you and smoothly send you to Qinyuan Mansion. ”

"Then how many people in the Chu Kingdom know my identity?" Yu Ruyan asked again.

Xiao Feiqing said: "At present, there are two people, both of whom are in Qinyuan Mansion, one is a maidservant and the other is a cook, both of whom are carefully arranged by Li Shi. ”

"Got it." Yu Ruyan nodded and asked, "When do I leave?" ”

Xiao Feiqing replied: "The day after tomorrow, I will send someone to escort you." Now among the countries of the Central Plains, Chu and us are the most powerful in national strength, followed by Qi. Because of our alliance with the two major tribes of the Xiongnu, the Qi country was miserable. Wei Guo, Song Guo, Liang Guo and my Chen State are good friends, and only Chu Guo is left with the thorn in his side. ”

Yu Ruyan raised her head, looked into Xiao Feiqing's eyes and asked, "Lord Xiao, let me ask you, is there only Qi and Chu as the thorns in the emperor's eyes?" ”

Xiao Feiqing's body stiffened, turned to look at Yu Ruyan, and did not answer.

Yu Ruyan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that the Central Plains countries, even the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Liang, who are friendly with us, are all thorns in the emperor's side." We are friendly with these three countries, but also to deal with the two great powers of Qi and Chu, when their power is weakened and our power increases, is the emperor really unwilling to eat this meat on the side of his mouth? ”

Xiao Feiqing sighed and shouted, "Ruyan, in fact, you ......"

Yu Ruyan interrupted Xiao Feiqing's words and said with a smile: "Actually, I know everything, you don't have to deliberately hide it from me." The emperor is my student, how can I not see his ambition? ”

Xiao Feiqing sighed: "Your Majesty, he does have the heart to dominate the Central Plains, in fact, everyone in the court can see it." ”

Yu Ruyan hooked the corners of her mouth, looked at Xiao Feiqing and asked, "Lord Xiao, in your opinion, the emperor's ambition is only to dominate the Central Plains?" ”

Xiao Feiqing was stunned, looking at Yu Ruyan, Yu Ruyan said with a smile: "The emperor wants to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang, Han Gaozu, and Tang Taizong to dominate the world, this is his greatest ambition." In other words, the emperors of the Central Plains countries all have this ambition, just to see which emperor really does it. ”

Xiao Feiqing lowered his head, and after a while, he said with a little sadness: "I didn't expect to see you, and I will be separated again." I don't know how much danger there will be when you're gone, and I don't know when you'll see you. ”

Yu Ruyan looked at the hibiscus flower on the side and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of danger, which fine work hasn't thought about death?" In this troubled world, how can a woman survive in peace? ”

Xiao Feiqing knew the meaning of her words, Tang Yun was dead, and Yu Ruyan didn't take life and death to heart.

"I will secretly send someone to protect you......" Xiao Feiqing said.

Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No need, Lord Xiao, the less people know my identity, the safer I am." ”

Xiao Feiqing sighed: "That makes sense. Ruyan, don't hate the emperor, he demoted you to an official position, so that you can gradually disappear in the Chen State, and then go to the Chu State smoothly to lurk. All this is arranged by the emperor. ”

"The emperor is deep in thought, where can we speculate." Yu Ruyan said. (To be continued.) )
