Mule into the noon, past Fengtian mén, Fengtian Temple, Ge Cheng is more and more trembling, walking on thin ice.

Along the way, the palace is majestic, the generals are mighty, the flags are displayed, and the law is strict, and the royal style is undoubtedly displayed. Katsuragi had succumbed to this solemn and sacred royal atmosphere.

In the past, he also went to Beijing to congratulate the New Year on behalf of King Yan. But at that time, he never had the opportunity to go deep into the imperial palace. At that time, there were more than 20 princes of Taizu, all of whom had envoys coming, and the emperor received them in Fengtian Palace, Ge Cheng only needed hún among so many envoys, worshipping, chanting, advancing and retreating like a ritual and left, but this time. It was summoned by the emperor alone, and it was not out on New Year's Day. summoned him, the envoy of the vassal king, and was frightened by the majesty of this imperial palace" Ge Cheng couldn't help but be a little frightened.

, "Emperor" Yan Wang Mansion Governor Shi Gecheng arrived......

The leading Xiǎo Lin Zizhou whispered softly, and a cold voice came from inside: "Call him in!" "Lord Ge, the emperor summoned you." Xiǎo Lin Zi turned around and greeted, and Ge Cheng hurriedly dressed himself and "stepped into the main hall, not even daring to raise his head." With his head down, he walked briskly forward along the red felt. , "poof". Kneeling on the ground, he threw himself to the ground, and said, "Chen Gecheng, meet Your Majesty!" ”

There was no sound coming from above, and Ge Cheng didn't dare to breathe. I didn't dare to move when I lay on the ground, but I felt that my back was soaked with cold sweat.

, "Get up" and stand aside. A clear voice finally came from above, Ge Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty Xie......

He stood up, peeked up, and saw that the emperor was wearing a winged dragon crown, "a white silk is tied on the crown, wearing a dragon robe, and the dragon robe is covered with a white sè linen clothes. The atmosphere did not dare to breathe. Think about it. He didn't see what the emperor looked like.

, "The emperor is really benevolent and filial." Although the first emperor had an edict. The world only serves filial piety for three days. After the emperor's reign. still brings filial piety to the first emperor, this filial piety ............

Ge Cheng was thinking about it, and Zhu Yunwen had said lightly, "Ge Cheng." Do you know why I have summoned you alone today, and why I came? ……

Ge Cheng hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister doesn't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”。

, "Ge Cheng, I see that you are pretending to be confused! ……

Zhu Yunwen said a word, and Ge Cheng's knees weakened. With a poof, he knelt on the ground again, and said in a panic: "The minister is ignorant and does not know...... I don't know what Your Majesty wants! ……

Zhu Yunwen "snapped...... He slapped the table and shouted: "You, the long history of the Yan Domain, are sent by the imperial court, you eat the Dai Lu of the imperial court, and you should be loyal to the king of Yan and loyal to the court, but you have a vegetarian meal and have done nothing, the king of Yan deliberately rebelled, as a long history, you can't persuade him to be obedient to the court, and as a courtier, you can't tell the court that the king of Yan is not a minister, so disloyal and unjust, do you want to destroy the nine clans?" ……

, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged! Zhu Yunwen shouted: "Wronged? Do you know nothing about King Yan's rebellion and misdeeds? ”

Ge Cheng was stunned, just kowtowed, and said incoherently: "The minister really doesn't know anything, he doesn't know anything." ”。

Zhu Yunwen sneered: "King Yan buys people's hearts and has been accumulating different ambitions for a long time, how can he not have the slightest clue between his usual words and deeds? His reverse. I've heard it all in the capital, but you don't know? Ge Cheng. Do you know that the crime of deceiving the king is also a crime that punishes the nine clans......

Ge Cheng was about to cry, he knew. Ge Cheng was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold, but he just claimed his innocence, how could he still remember Zhu Di's instructions before leaving, and took the opportunity to confess his mind for him, and begged the emperor to raise his noble hand.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Look at your sincerity." It seems that he really doesn't know anything about what King Yan did............

Ge Cheng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the emperor is wise, and the minister really doesn't know anything."

Zhu Yunwen intercepted: "However, as the head of King Yan's mansion, King Yan deliberately rebelled, can you be exonerated if you don't know anything?" As the head of the royal palace and the minister sent by the imperial court, King Yan rebelled, even if you don't know it, you can't escape the death penalty. The wife and family members should be assigned to the teaching department according to the regulations, and I have the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Don't you know? Ge Cheng's body was like a sifting chaff, just trembling: "The minister knows, the minister is guilty, no, no, no, the minister doesn't know, the minister is guilty............

Zhu Yunwen saw that he was so shocked that he was incoherent, and there was a burst of happiness in his heart, so he slowed down his voice and said: "Don't panic, the reason why I summoned you alone is because I know that although you have done nothing in office. His loyalty to the court has not changed, "I don't want you, a loyal minister, to suffer as a traitor." So I want to give you a chance. ",,"The emperor is wise, the emperor is benevolent, and the ministers ...... * feel jī tears zero, and there are no words to express ......"

Ge Cheng slammed his head with a bang, and Zhu Yunwen smiled slightly on his face and said, "Okay." Get up, I will give you a chance today, as long as your heart is towards the court, I will not treat you badly. If there is merit in the future, this reward is also indispensable......

Ge Cheng hurriedly said, "Emperor Xie, the ministers are stupid, and they really don't know anything about King Yan's antipathy......

Speaking of which, in order to win the trust of Emperor Jianwen, Ge Cheng told Zhu Yunwen about the daily behavior of Zhu Di, the king of Yan. After Emperor Jianwen cut down the three vassal kings in a row, how did King Yan unhappy and worried, how did the Prince Yan be full of resentment and even complain, and how did the servants of the Yan Palace's shì guards say irresponsible remarks, "Anyway, what he heard, plus what he imagined, was all revealed to Zhu Yunwen in one go."

Zhu Yunwen's face became more and more peaceful: "Come on, give Ge Changshi a seat......

Ge Cheng said in a panic: "No, no, no. In front of His Majesty, how can there be a seat for a micro-minister......

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "If you are told to sit, you will sit, don't be polite, I have always been courteous to courtiers, and I have special respect for loyal ministers and filial sons." You are loyal to me, how can I be disrespectful, sit down......

"Yes, Emperor Xie......

Ge Cheng sat down half of the chair with his heart in his heart," Zhu Yunwen said, "Ge Aiqing, King Yan has been anti-ambition for a long time, once he puts it into action." I am not afraid, with the prestige of my court. To destroy the vassal king's luàn is just a matter of fingers. But. The war is everywhere, and it is inevitable that the disaster will prolong my people, and I can't bear it, in order to minimize the scourge of this vassal king's rebellion as much as possible, "I have a thing. I want you to do it. Can you say yes? ……

Ge Cheng hurriedly slipped out to the ground again, knelt down on his knees, and said suddenly, "Your Majesty, you will never give up!" ”

Zhu Yunwen happily got up and helped him up, and said gently: "King Yan has antipathy" For the sake of the country, the society and thousands of people, even if he is my uncle, I can't kill my relatives without righteousness. The Imperial Court has decided to cut down the feudal domain. I want you to return to the Yan King's Mansion to stab the Yan King's guilt and cooperate with the court to get rid of the Yan King. After the deed is completed, you are the first hero of rebellion, and I will naturally not forget you, you ...... Would you like to? ，。

Ge Cheng was supported by the Son of Heaven, only to feel a sudden jump in his waist and eyes. Two warm currents rushed straight to the top of his head, and the two big tuǐ were trembling, and immediately said, "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty and live up to His Majesty's trust!" ……

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xia Xun returned to his rented Xiǎo house. A bunch of courtyards. He found that the leaves of the tree that had been hidden above the mén fan had fallen, and he knew that someone had entered again, and he couldn't help but smile heartily.

Since that night she kept the New Year with Xiǎo County Lord Ming'er and talked about her heart all night, Xiǎo girl has become close to him, and she is willing to run to him to tell him any joys, sorrows, and sorrows. Xia Xun is the best listener, he listens patiently, and gives her some comfort and persuasion from time to time. Xiǎo 丫tou, who is about to enter the green chūn period, is changeable in her joys, sorrows, and sorrows. The mind and mind are also five huā eight mén, fortunately, Xia Xun is well-informed, and Ming'er used to be a big liar in her heart. turned out to be her most trusted psychological mentor.

Xia Xun pushed the courtyard mén. Looking forward with a smile, he only thought that Ming'er xiǎo girl was there. When I looked up, I saw the man clearly, but his face was stiff. Wearing a sheepskin jacket and a dogskin hat, he was dressed like a leather dealer in the north, and he was as handsome as ever, but it was not Xiao Qianyue, the captain of the brocade clothes.

Xia Xun said in surprise, "Qianyue, why are you here?" ……

Xiao Qianyue smiled and said, "What." Don't you want to see me? ……

On the last trip to Zhou Wangfu, Xiao Qianyue did things beautifully. He had been summoned back by Luo Yishi because of his merits, so he was in a particularly happy mood, and he came over and said, "Lord Baihu, I see that you are good all day long, and I am anxious for you." How about it, did you get any handle from King Yan? . ”

Xia Xun was bitter and sighed: "How easy is it to talk about? I'm like a mouse these days, "I've been going around all over the Yanwang Mansion, but I can't get strong evidence." Xiao Qianyue accompanied him to the house and said, "Hmm." The adults also expected that if King Yan was so easy to deal with, the court would not have to face a great enemy, anyway, if you keep an eye on him, there will always be a chance to catch his sore feet......

Xia Xun asked rhetorically, "Why are you here, the adults called you here just to comfort me?" Xiao Qianyue smiled: "Naturally not." I'm coming to Peking" is spreading the news. ”。

The fire in the house is pressed with briquettes. The kettle on the stove was already boiling, and Xia Xun made him a cup of tea. He sat down and asked, "Spread the news, spread the news?" ”。

Xiao Qianyue said with a smile: "Hehe, for example, King Yan had different ambitions and planned to rebel more than ten years ago. King Yan is now building weapons day and night in the palace, ready to raise troops. That's pretty much it. ”。

"What? ”。

Xia Xun couldn't cry and laugh a little: "Qianyue, don't make your own decisions and spread these fragile clumsy news." What can be helped? ”。

Xiao Qianyue held the cup in her hand, blinked and said, "What?" ”。

"What?" King Yan was antipathetic more than ten years ago? Who is he against, the crown prince was still alive more than ten years ago, and the two royal brothers of King Qin and King Jin are also alive. No matter where he goes, "it is not his turn to be qualified to be the emperor, can he be a prophet and know that these brothers must have died early?"

Besides, building weapons in King Yan's Mansion is even more unreliable. To rebel, you must first have soldiers, weapons and armor*, what about soldiers? He took out the military power of the border army in the north, and even the three guards of Yanshan also went out, what did he rely on to rebel? If you want to rebel, will you send these soldiers? Bingdu Jiāo has gone out, who will use it to build weapons? Instead of a well-trained jīng soldier, he had to recruit some farmers and traders temporarily.

Besides, since King Yan began to prepare for rebellion more than ten years ago, he has only now set up a furnace in the palace to make steel and iron to build weapons? So what has he been doing all these years? If he really wants to make knives and guns in the palace, how much coal and timber will he have to transport to the palace in this day, and how many craftsmen will he have to hire "how much steel to buy?" He was sure that there were so many people in the palace. Didn't have a single eye and ear for the court? You, it's better to say that he hired a large number of blacksmiths to make weapons in the deep mountains and old forests.

Besides, this is Beiping, the base camp of the Beidi border defense, "There are four armories in the city, what kind of weapons are not?" It was all the Imperial Armament Department supervising the creation of high-quality swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, saddles, and saddles, since they were determined to rebel. Do you think it is easy for him to rob the armory, or is it easy to set up a stall in the palace to practice steel? It's too easy to get to grips with this rumor......

Xiao Qianyue smiled and said, "Hehe, an understanding person like Lord Baihu." Of course, you can't paste nòng. ”。

He leaned forward slightly, "In fact, this is what Lord Luo meant" Chao Gu cut three vassal kings in a row, and the people talked about it. The imperial court was already a little unbearable, and they had to know that "it was not that the imperial court wanted to cut the feudal domain, but that the feudal court had to cut the feudal domain." The news I spread "Of course, you can't fool the officials and gentry, but it's easy to fool the common people."

Xiao Qianyue said triumphantly, "Those fools are stupid enough to think so clearly, you say he will believe it!" If they spread this rumor three times or two, they will be able to make up a lot of new nonsense. When everyone says this, those nerds who are stupid in reading will also believe in it. ”

As soon as Xiao Qianyue said this, the room opened with a squeak. The county lord of Ming'er stood at the mouth of the mén with a smile, stepping on the threshold of the mén mischievously with two feet, and suddenly saw that there were guests in the room, Xia Xun and a man across the table, leaned forward, whispering something, and the smile on Ming'er's face froze.

Xiao Qianyue twisted her head. Look at the xiǎo county lord from head to toe. Squinting his eyes slightly, he asked, "Who is this?" ……

Ming'er's eyes flashed, and she immediately exclaimed very cleverly, "Brother, who is he?" ”。

Xia Xun secretly complained: "It's bad, it's bad, how can I have a sister, others don't know" Qianyue knows my bottom line, this girl is too smart this time.

, "Job......

Xiao Qianyue was really surprised, and said suspiciously: "Brother, what brother, adult, you ......, when did you have a sister?" ，。

"Ah......, ah......, hahaha, that's it, come on, come on, I'll introduce you to you......

Xia Xun stood up, walked over with a smile on his face, and while frequently glancing at Ming'er, he hugged her fragrant shoulder with a big grin, turned his head and pointed at Xiao Qianyue and said, "This is my good friend, surnamed Xiao, Xiao Qianyue, who just arrived in Beiping." Came to see me. Chizuki, she is my ....... Hahaha, you know that. Hahahaha.......

Xiao Qianyue said blankly, "What do I know?" Seeing a weird smile on Xia Xun's face, Xiao Qianyue suddenly realized: "Oh" I understand, I forgot, the customs of the Northland, the NV family likes to call "Hahahaha, I originally wanted to live with you tonight and have a long talk with you." In that case, I'll go find an inn to stay in first, and we'll talk about what we have to say......

He grabbed the burden, walked to Xia Xun's side, squeezed his eyes and smiled, "It turns out that adults like this tune." is so jerky and immature, and the habits of adults are really "tsk tsk ......".

watched Xiao Qianyue pick a thumbs up to Xia Xun obscenely. Walking out of the courtyard with a smoke, the county lord of Ming'er Xiǎo asked Xia Xun curiously, "What is he talking about" Why does it sound weird......

Xia Xun pretended to be dazed and said, "What sounds weird?" Ming'er said, "That's the one" I forgot, Northland customs, NV'er family likes to call ......, hahahaha......,......

Xia Xun, ", Xiran". Said: "Oh, you said the one he said, hahahaha, ah......

"yes, that's it, hahahaha......,......

"This man has always spoken out of tune, and the county lord doesn't need to pay attention to him!" Hahaha......".! ~！
