Ye Yichen's slender phoenix eyes flashed with dazzling light, and the opportunity to be good was in front of him, and it was fake to say that he was not impressed.

The staff member continued to say in a demonic voice: "There is a black stone ditch at the junction of Shandong and Henan, which is the only place to return to Beijing, the road is narrow and long, only enough for four horses to go in parallel, and the mountains on both sides are steep, as long as a team of people ambushes on the mountain and throws stones at the bottom, they can easily wipe out the 20,000 horses of the Royal Forest Army." It's not a big deal! ”

As he spoke, he took out a roll of parchment from his bosom: "I have prepared a warrant for Your Highness, Your Highness only needs to use a seal on it, and General Yuan's men and horses can set off immediately." When the time comes, the emperor will control Bintian, the crown prince will die again, the four princes and the five princes will be young and lack prestige, who else in this world can sit on that dragon chair except you? ”

This plan is very perfect, and at this moment, Ye Yichen is really moved. The father of Huaxia, the lord of Zhaomin, the supreme of the Ninety-Five, infinite power, can avenge the grandfather, and more importantly, he can realize his lofty ambitions - as long as he becomes the emperor, with his ability, recover the Shu Han and calm the abrupt Jurchen, all the glory and halo will fall on his head, and he can even make no less than the deeds of the Taizu, and his name can be glorified through the ages and recited forever in the history books!

Ye Yichen almost impulsively took the seal and stamped it. But at that moment, the shadows of two people flashed in front of his eyes, one was his son Ye Minwen, and the other was Yulan.

After a while, Ye Yichen said with difficulty: "No, Wen'er is still in the army!" "And, of course, she, too, is in the army.

The staff member knelt at Ye Yichen's feet all of a sudden, and he also let go: "Your Highness, those who have become great things since ancient times are not informal, you are young and strong, and you want a son...... How many sons can't be born in the future, why give up this flower for a son, a great opportunity! Your Highness, think twice! ”

Ye Yichen's face was bruised, and he waved his hand tiredly: "I have made up my mind, you, don't say it again!" He picked up a copy of the book from the bookcase and said, "This document submitted to the emperor will be sent out urgently for eight hundred miles!" Xingwen Jingshi Six Divisions, preparing for the emperor's return to Luan! "Now that the crisis in Beijing has been resolved, the emperor will naturally return to Beijing soon.

That staff member has been with Ye Yichen for seven or eight years, and has been helping the prince deal with the documents in the army, and he knows Ye Yichen's thoughts clearly, knowing that he has long had the ambition to replace him, but he can't make up his mind for such a good opportunity, is it really for the sake of the four-year-old little doll?

He has always known that Ye Yichen is ruthless enough, how can this time suddenly the woman's benevolence rise, how can the staff not understand, he is the most desperate and said: "Your Highness, once the emperor returns to Beijing, it will be difficult to seek a big position again, if you don't launch it at this time, you will definitely regret it in the future!" ”

Ye Yichen's face turned blue and pale, and he couldn't let go of the shadow in his heart after all, he slapped the table hard: "This king has his own plans, and he can't go down!" ”

When it came to this, the staff member didn't dare to persuade him anymore, and went down with a disappointed face.

On June 14, in the small courtyard of Yulan, the capital of Texas.

Early in the morning, Yulan got up and was having breakfast in the west room.

"The little prince is here!"

Before the words fell, Ye Minzhao had already walked in.

"The slave has seen the little prince!" Xiaoyu Xiaoyue gave a salute, Ye Minzhao waved his hand, he always has to come over from time to time these days, everyone in Yulan Courtyard knows that he has a close relationship with his own young lady, like a sister and brother, Xiaoyue and others are no longer so restrained when they see him.

Yulan was about to get up to salute, Ye Minzhao hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't make those false courtesies...... Yulan has already been familiar with him, so he sat back.

Ye Minzhao sat down across from her. Yulan asked, "Has the little prince had breakfast?" Today's shrimp dumplings are doing well, little prince might as well try them! Without waiting for him to answer, a plate of crystal shrimp dumplings was pushed in front of him.

She smiled, and the room seemed to light up. Ye Minzhao looked a little dazed for a while. In fact, he had already used it with Concubine Hui, but Yulan asked him to eat, so he had to eat a few bites no matter how full he was, and when he finished eating the shrimp dumplings that Yulan pushed over, and picked up the Biluochun offered by Xiaoyu, he was shocked to realize that he had eaten it unconsciously.

Yulan asked someone to clean up the breakfast, took Ye Minzhao to the hall and sat down, and asked anxiously, "How is the battle situation ahead?" ”

Since this period of time, the military intelligence report in front has affected the hearts of all civil and military officials, Yulan is in the inner house, and the news is not good, so he entrusted the little prince to inquire on his behalf, and the little prince just had no reason to approach her, and the two hit it off.

The little prince said excitedly: "Sister, the thief chief Zuo Yan has already been awarded!" ”

"Really?" Yulan's little face flushed excitedly, Dezhou is some distance away from Jingshi, and the battle report will be passed on, it will take at least a day, a few days ago, Yulan learned from the little prince that Ye Yichen had relieved the siege of Jingshi, as for more detailed information, she didn't know.

"Talk about it, talk about it! What's going on? How exactly is the battle fought? Is the prince okay now? "Yesterday, Ye Minzhao spent a night in the emperor's study, pestering him to ask about the war, and the emperor saw Ye Yichen's report and victory, and he was also happy, so he simply took it out and showed it to this little son.

Ye Minzhao gushed about the details of the defense of Beijing to Yulan, Yulan's eyes shot a dazzling brilliance, and his heart was proud for a while: Lord Wang, you really didn't disappoint me!

In the prince's palace, Ye Minshu listened to the report of the staff, and regretted that his intestines were blue, who would have thought that Ye Yichen could achieve this level, just relying on tens of thousands of remnants, he could defend the entire Beijing Division. If he was willing to sit in the capital at the beginning, then his share of this great credit would be indispensable.

The staff all understood Ye Minshu's feelings, but they were also thinking: Why did you know now?

"That's it!" The prince waved his hand tiredly, "Tell someone to pack up, I'm afraid we'll be back to Beijing soon?" ”

On June 15, the emperor sent an edict ordering the king of Yanqing County to inspect Nanjing, and he immediately set off with the Manchu civil and military forces and 20,000 troops to return to Beijing.

The Jingshi is saved, the country is saved, and the next thing the emperor has to consider is whether his throne can be kept. Emperor Taizong was not in the right position, Ye Yichen has always been dissatisfied with their branch, he knows all this, in case Ye Yichen takes advantage of his absence to establish himself as the emperor, then the matter will be troublesome.

Don't blame him for being suspicious, there are too many people coveting the position of the Ninth Five.

The emperor is like an arrow, but the civil and military officials are with their families, so they can't go fast.

On the day when the army went out of the city, the officials and the people went out to see off the emperor back to Beijing. A man with a short figure in the crowd personally watched the army burst out, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

The man walked back out of the crowd, seemingly casually, and saw that no one was following him, and then cautiously turned into an inn.

He tapped five times on a guest room, three long and two short. The door was immediately opened, and a Chinese character spoke with a southern accent: "Old Ma, you are back!" Come on in, Your Highness is waiting for you! ”

The man surnamed Ma flashed into the door, this room is a large suite, he passed through a door, entered the main room, only to see a young man in his twenties sitting on the head, dressed as a noble son, born like a crown of jade, eyebrows like stars, what is even more rare is that this person has an elegant atmosphere of dust all over his body, and he is a beautiful man who is unique in ten thousand.

The man surnamed Ma stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, see your subordinates!" ”

The man smiled like a spring flower in full bloom; "This time is extraordinary, Ma Qian doesn't have to be polite." He showed Mr. Ma Qian a seat, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Has the orthodox emperor left the city?" ”

"My subordinates saw with their own eyes that the orthodox law frame came out of Texas City!"

"Uh-huh......" The young man's bony hand tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyebrows furrowed beautifully, as if thinking about something.

An old man beside him, who was about forty years old and had a graceful bearing, interjected: "It only takes more than ten days to get from Texas to Beijing, Your Highness, we don't have much time, we have to prepare early!" ”

The young man sighed and said: "That Ye Yichen broke the foreign coalition army and saved thousands of people from the ravages of the abrupt Jurchens, he is really a hero among the Han people of my generation. ”

The old man hurriedly persuaded: "We all know that His Highness is a person of light and moon. But Da Chu is our confidant, and Ye Yichen is like a god with his soldiers. If they don't take the opportunity to drive a wedge between their monarchs and ministers, when Ye Yichen leads his troops south, our country will be in danger! I have already asked someone to prepare a thousand catties of explosives, as long as I blow up a mountain peak, bury the first half of the orthodox emperor's honor guard alive, and then blame Ye Yichen...... He is already a master of great merit, and he is not afraid that the orthodox emperor will not be suspicious! The ministers and others have been paying attention to the situation in Chu for several years, if they take the opportunity to force him back, then it is the best, even if they can't, the emperor will inevitably throw him into idleness, and he can also get rid of a big disaster without blood! This plan is well planned and will definitely work. For the sake of millions of people in Shu Han, Your Highness must not have the kindness of a woman! ”

"I know all that you have said...... Cease! Cease! Pass my orders, and all the men and horses we brought will go out of the city in batches tonight, and go to Heishigou to arrange, and everything will be done according to the plan! ”

All the people in the room stood up and bowed to the young man, "Yes!" ”

The young man didn't look at them, his eyes looked far away, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and a voice in his heart said: "Yinyue, Yinyue, can you forgive Gu's painstaking efforts to design your people?" ”

The road was very smooth, a few days later 20,000 troops escorted the royal car to the black stone ditch, only to see that the mountain is steep, the rocks are craggy, this road can only accommodate a few war horses to pass, the end of the ground is very dangerous. But this is a necessary passage connecting the two post roads in Shandong and Henan, if it is a detour, it is not impossible to go, but it is too far, and the emperor must not be able to wait.

This time the patrol led 20,000 forbidden troops to be responsible for the safety of the emperor's garrison is Wang You, the commander of the horses, Wang You is a general who was single-handedly promoted by the orthodox emperor, and the emperor married the favored six princesses to him, so although he is not very capable, he is loyal to the emperor, so the emperor handed over this most important duty to him.

The emperor handed over his own safety to him, which was his infinite trust, but from another point of view, he was putting a thousand pounds of heavy burden on his shoulders, he was cautious and cautious along the way, careful and cautious, and when he arrived at this place, his brows furrowed.

It's too easy for this place to sneak up on and ambush.

Wang You looked at the towering and steep mountains on both sides, and first sent two generals under his command to each bring a sentry to the mountain to investigate.

When the two of them looked at the mountain, their faces were displeased. They are all the sons and daughters of the Jingshi Xun, relying on the shadow of their ancestors, only to mix with the current rank, and have always been relatively sloppy about errands, and because they had walked through this black stone ditch before coming, there was nothing abnormal, the two were sent to this drudgery, scolded in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it, they could only take people away, and after a rough search, they came back to resume their lives, and they all said that there were no ambushes on the ridges on both sides.

At this time, the emperor's royal car had arrived, and the emperor summoned Wang You to the front and asked, "Why did you stop here?" ”

Wang You knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this Heishigou Mountain is dangerous, and Weichen has the heavy responsibility of protecting the emperor, so he really doesn't dare to take it lightly." You need to send someone to find out, it's never too late! ”

When the emperor heard him say this, he couldn't help but look a little pale, looking at the terrain here, the emperor also felt a little frightened, if someone was ambushed, as long as there was a wall at both ends, just rolling stones from above could stone these people to death.

The emperor asked; "But what did you find?"

Wang You said: "Everything is normal. ”

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's pass!" ”

Wang You somehow always felt unsteady in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a reluctant request, and I ask the emperor for permission!" ”

"What is Aiqing's request?"

"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Wechen would like to ask the emperor to divide the people into three parts, and the first part will pass first under your Huangluo umbrella!"

He was also cautious, and the emperor remembered the story of Qin Shi Huang's "mistakenly hit the deputy car", and after thinking about it, he agreed. Wang You didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the front to assign people, and coincidentally, the Yang family where Yulan was located was divided into the first part.

Ye Minzhao saw that Yulan was in the first part, so he came to the emperor in person and asked the emperor to let him pretend to be the emperor under the Huangluo umbrella cover.

Seeing that his young son was so filial and willing to be a chess piece, the emperor was happy for a while, reached out and touched Ye Minzhao's head, and said continuously: "Good boy!" ”

Concubine Hui was secretly anxious when she saw it, but her son wanted to show filial piety in front of the emperor, and there was no reason for her to be a mother, and the emperor was a little hesitant at first, and couldn't bear Ye Minzhao's pleading, and thought that this was just a precautionary measure, and there should not be much risk, so he agreed to the little prince's request.

The 10,000 military horses of the first part entered the black stone ditch with the emperor's Huangluo umbrella. Ye Minzhao walked in the middle with a Huang Luo umbrella cover. After entering the black stone ditch, I realized that the terrain here was really dangerous, there was no road at all, the horse could not ride, and the carriage naturally could not sit, Yulan and other Yang family members had to get off the car and walk, Ye Minzhao also got off the horse and led the horse forward.

As soon as he reached the middle of the section, he heard an earth-shattering loud noise suddenly from the mountain in the west, and one of the mountain walls suddenly collapsed, crushing all the soldiers who were walking in the front.

For a while, the smoke and dust were filled, and people shouted and neighed, like hell on earth, and before the thousands of officers and soldiers who were walking in the forefront could react, even the people and horses were buried alive by the huge mountain.

I don't know what the assassin thinks, Ye Minzhao walked next to the Huangluo umbrella cover, the collapsed mountain was not smashed down against him, he was not the hardest hit area, but there were still countless small stones falling like rain, Ye Minzhao couldn't dodge, as soon as the incident happened, he turned back to look at Yulan: "Sister! ”
