Outside the Jiade Palace, under the white jade steps, the soldiers simply set up a large military tent for the general's battle, which is the temporary residence of Ma Yue to stay in the palace at night.

"Xun Yu, you say...... I don't think this is a night stay in the palace, according to the law, I should be beheaded. Ma Yue shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, not intending to hear Xun Yu's response, just flipping through the books sent by Jian Shuo. In the Jane, there are all kinds of secret utensils of the East Garden, gold and silver wine utensils, Zhang Qi Cong rings, bows and arrows, Ding Cauldron cups and objects that Liu Hong liked to play with before his death, and outside the tent, there are Changshui Battalion sergeants carrying small coffins and coffins into the Jiade Hall with great difficulty.

Ma Yue's eyes have heavy dark circles on his eyes, from his release from prison to the present, nearly a day and a night, he has not closed his eyes for a moment, there is He Jin and He Miao outside the palace, there are ten permanent servants in the palace, and there are scholars like Xun Yu who are planning to leave the palace at any time to report the news, not to mention Liu Hong's preparations for the funeral, Ma Yue does not dare to have a moment of rest.

Xun Yu was under house arrest in the tent, almost didn't talk to Ma Yue, just knelt quietly in the corner, and watched Ma Yue adjust the armament and instructions with gentle eyes, and even Ma Yue didn't care if he said some unbearable foul words in his mouth, and always looked at Ma Yue with no anger, but Ma Yue was very unhappy with this kind of gaze.

Xun Yu looked at Ma Yue's eyes, like looking at a beast imprisoned in a cage.

However, hearing Ma Yue's indifferent self-deprecation, Xun Yu's eyes lit up and said: "Xiaguan shallowly, Guangluxun's move is not in accordance with etiquette, but it is reasonable. ”

Ma Yue, who was looking at the book, turned his head sharply, staring at Xun Yu eagerly, put down the book, he got up and paced left and right, walked to Xun Yu and asked, "Xun Yu, help me?" ”

"Forgive me."

Xun Yu raised his neck and shook his head firmly.

Ma Yue was choked for a moment, his face was cloudy, and he asked with difficulty: "Why, Ma is from a low background and is not worthy of the loyalty of a scholar?" ”

Xun Yu still shook his head and bowed to Ma Yue, "In love, Guanglu Xun will be the edict and auxiliary government, and the subordinate officials should obey." Yu Li, as a courtier, should be respected and edicted. However, it is reasonable to be reasonable, the children of the clan serve as generals, and the things of the dead clan cannot be done. ”

Ma Yue took a deep breath, Xun Yu's clothes exuded a light fragrance of flowers and plants into his nose, which made people feel refreshed, Ma Yue glanced at Xun Yu deeply and sighed.

"You know, if you don't help me, I can't let you go, and if you run, I won't want to do that, but I have to kill you." Ma Yue sat back down, but didn't look at the book again, but sat in front of Xun Yu, meeting such a pair of unsettling eyes, but he didn't know what to say.

Those books, Liu Hong's aftermath is in charge, there will never be any mistakes, Ma Yue is too lazy to interfere, he must not have done this kind of thing well. What's more, he felt that this matter was meaningless in his heart, and let the little prince who met Liu Hong's heart ascend the throne and inherit his country, and he would ensure that the country he was about to shatter would continue to run smoothly, and even stronger was what a man should do.

In Ma Yue's heart, even if Liu Hong is buried, if the Han Dynasty continues for another five hundred years, later generations of historians will only think that Liu Hong is a mediocre emperor, and he will not be scolded for mentioning his name, he will feel that it is worth it.

Xun Yu didn't seem to have the slightest worry about his own comfort, looked at Ma Yue for a moment, and asked softly, "Dare to ask Guangluxun, what do you want?" ”

"I'm thinking how I can not kill you." Ma Yue smiled: "What else do you think I can think?" ”

Xun Yu nodded, he knew that Ma Yue really didn't have to think about anything, this night almost made him change all his views on Ma Yue, first broke the Huangmen Temple and broke into the palace at night, and then the commander-in-chief of the inner palace and blocked the palace, this young general was like an arm for the Changshui camp, and then he knew that it was not only the general's mansion that recruited foreign troops, the cavalry of Liangzhou may have been on the way to Luoyang, and the Gucheng order thirty miles outside the city was also his general, and the sentry went out of the city from the back door of the palace last night, I am afraid that the Gucheng county soldiers are also mobilizing, The weapons and armor of the Shaofu in the palace were moved out at night, and now the three thousand men and horses of the Changshui Battalion are almost fully armed with double-layer iron armor and crossbows.

He even sent a private letter to Huangfu Song, who was stationed in the army to help the wind, in which he conveyed to him the current situation of Luoyang and the emperor's edict word for word, which also contained the situation of the general's recruitment of foreign troops, and asked Huangfu Song to decide. This move is not a lot of courage, once Huangfu Song plans to clear the monarch's side, the 40,000 army will go east, and in the blink of an eye, all the relatives, what Ma Yue, and what the ten permanent servants will be finished.

Ma Yue trusted Huangfu Song's character too much.

This young general, who was two years younger than himself, had an outrageous understanding of the situation, and his courage was also amazing, and he was ready to start a war in the imperial palace and even in Luoyang City overnight by relying on an edict from Emperor Daxing.

Now, Ma Yue had nothing to do, and Xun Yu understood what Ma Yue was waiting for.

"The lower officials still think that Guangluxun is waiting for the general's mansion to make a mistake." Xun Yu shook his head with a smile, "If you're just worried about how you can not kill me, then you don't have to worry, Xun Wen won't run away before you let me go." ”

As he spoke, Xun Yu turned his head to look at the Changshui sergeant standing outside the tent, "Are you still worried that thousands of soldiers can't control the weak people below?" ”

It is very comfortable to talk to Xun Yu, but it also contains very dangers, Ma Yue always feels frightened, Xun Yu is too calm, which makes him feel scared. In this regard, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head, acquiescing in his belief that thousands of armor soldiers could not hold Xun Wenruo.

"Since you have a posthumous photo in hand, why don't you directly send a funeral to Your Majesty, issue an edict in front of the courtiers, and help the little prince ascend the throne, but you have to do this unsightly deed in secret, don't you know that once the army is raised, the imperial city will be ruined, or is it that the lives of thousands of people are not worth the grassy ambition in your heart?"

Xun Yu looked at Ma Yue as if he was looking at a beast that was overwhelmed by the desire for power, with a bit of sarcasm.

The expected annoyance and anger did not appear, Xun Yu only saw Ma Yue, whose face was as usual, sighed, and said: "My ambition, I'm afraid it's not as big as the general, you are a smart person, if I directly mourn Your Majesty, and assist the little prince to ascend the throne, the He family is still dominant, the East Palace, the General's Mansion, the Che Cavalry General's Mansion, who do you think will let me go?" ”

Xun Yu was silent.

"Actually, you know, whether I am a soldier or not, it will be difficult for me to live until the little prince grows up." Ma Yue shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Actually, since I was released from prison last night, I know that no matter what I do, it will be difficult to live, and there are too many people who hate me." If I can't become a little prince, I will die at the hands of the He family. After slaughtering the He family and setting up a little prince, I will die at the hands of the scholars...... You are a scholar, you know, a scholar will not tolerate a martial artist like me holding power to share the court with you. ”

"No!" Xun Yu said categorically, "My generation of scholars, how can you be as small-bellied as you imagined, not to mention that governing the country is so simple!" ”

"You think so, but do others think so too? You must know more scholars than I do, and if you think about it, although you only met yesterday, I believe that you are a righteous man and a gentleman, and there will be nothing wrong with what you say. Ma Yue looked at Xun Yu and said, "What do you think I should do now and survive can be, what should I do?" ”

"Send a ...... to Your Majesty" Before the word mourning was spoken, Xun Yu shook his head, it was easy to mourn, and he could guess the sword in the open and in the dark, Ma Yue was only afraid that he would die. It's not okay if you don't mourn, when the time comes, the soldiers will be in turmoil, and Xun Yu doesn't want to say that. After being stunned for a long time, Xun Yu said: "If Guangluxun wants to save his life, he should return to Liangzhou." ”

Ma Yue smiled, Xun Yu was a righteous gentleman, and he said the only way he could save his life.

"I can't guarantee it, I know that staying here will be a dead word, but I can't guarantee it. I have eaten His Majesty's money for so many years, and if I don't pay it back, I can't do it. ”

Ma Yue still wanted to talk to Xun Yu again, and wanted to get something out of Xun Yu's mouth, but the guards outside the door had already bowed into the tent, saluted and said, "Guangluxun, the regular servant Zhang Rang asks to see you." ”

"Let him in."

Ma Yue waved his hand, the guard turned around and went out, Xun Yu straightened his head, and still sat there without saying a word.

Zhang Rang lifted the curtain and entered the tent, glanced at the empty tent, and then asked directly at Ma Yue, "Your Majesty is not here?" ”

At this point, Zhang Rang's self-familiar energy is still inevitable, and the opening remarks have already taken the lead, Ma Yue nodded and asked: "I heard that Master Hou is also going to see me with a crossbow arrow, what's the matter, let's talk about it." ”

When Zhang Rang came, he must have seen the soldiers who moved His Majesty's funeral objects, and he couldn't stop hiding it, and Ma Yue didn't plan to hide it from him, the old eunuch gambled his life to see him, whether it was life or death, Ma Yue didn't plan to let him go back.

"Okay, at the moment of life and death, Jun Hao won't say those polite words to the old slave." Zhang Rang waved his hand, paced directly in the tent and said, "In this way, you and Jian Shuo should have received His Majesty's edict, the eldest prince?" No, if it's the eldest prince, you don't have to be so tense, it's the little prince, right? ”

Ma Yue squinted his eyes, looked at Zhang Rang's self-calculation here, and nodded lightly, for a while he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the old eunuch's gourd.

Seeing Ma Yue nodding, Zhang Rang walked quickly to Ma Yue and said, "Say so, unless you ......"

Ma Yue made a straight face, "No unless!" It is His Majesty's last wish to let the little prince ascend the throne, and if His Majesty wants to set up a little prince, then the little prince must ascend the throne! ”

Zhang Rang frowned, his face was very kind, and Ma Yue's gaze seemed to be looking at a child, "Without your assistance, he can't ascend to the throne, if you are smart, you should turn your back on him and pretend to ensure that the eldest prince ascends the throne." ”

"You're the Auxiliary Minister now, and you're in power, all you have to do is ...... Hold on tight. Make friends with the General's Mansion, reconcile with the Cheqi Mansion, recognize the ancestors with the Fufeng Ma family, and marry the daughter of the Yuan family, what we have is time to get rid of the Dong family...... If the eldest prince gets in the way after he ascends the throne... We just need to make a testament. ”

"We?" Ma Yue never felt that the ten permanent servants were his own people, let alone the current stall.

"You don't have to be a little prince, the same is true for the eldest prince, and you also need someone to help, look at you have been to the Weiwei Mansion like this, and you have touched your nose." Zhang Rang smiled, and Zhizhu said in his hand: "Back then, the Dou family found a random clansman and set up His Majesty as the emperor, if you want to be a relative, there is still a 10,000-year-old princess waiting for you in the palace!" Wouldn't it be a pleasure to be an auxiliary ruler for thirty years, and then to support your own son to ascend the throne? ”

Champion your own son to the throne? Ma Yue's face changed, and Xun Yu, who was light and breezy, also changed his face when Zhang Rang said this.
