Zhou Yan returned to the palace in despair and immediately summoned the Song brothers.

Tonight, all the officials are in the palace to guard the spirit of Emperor Yanguang, Song Xin and Song Li are still dressed in full clothes, and they have to consider the situation while crying, plus they have never rested or eaten, and their faces look very tired.

Before he looked at his face, Song Xin immediately spoke: "Your Highness, the minister is thinking about it tonight, and I am worried that there may be ...... in Nanjing."

"This palace and Wang Xiao broke up." Zhou Yan didn't wait for Song Xin to finish speaking, and suddenly spoke.

Song Xin choked for a moment, hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, is this playing with the Duke of Yu Guo again?" ”

"Your Highness, this matter must not be repeated." Song Lidao.

- Your Highness, don't play with us, we won't believe you this time.

Zhou Yan smiled miserably and said a rough story about tonight.

The Song brothers were hit hard, and their faces turned even paler.

"Wang Xiao connived at the murder of the monarch and the villain, and dared to attack the palace and trample on the rules and regulations of the monarch and the ministers, is it tolerable or unbearable?"! Zhou Yan said indignantly.

It's like a wronged student who is complaining to a teacher.

The matter of peace talks with the anti-thieves was finally decided by Chunning, who knew the proportions and the reasoning, so he never objected in the end.

But after being slapped in the face, he just wanted to talk to the gentlemen about his grievances. I hope that they can comfort and comfort themselves, scold the king and laugh a few words, and then the matter will be swallowed.

The Song brothers were frightened and incoherent.

"Your Highness, please ask Your Highness to immediately and personally apologize to the Duke of the Kingdom!"

"Your Highness, the minister seconded the proposal, please Your Highness quickly reconcile with the Duke of Yu!"

"You ......" Zhou Yan said in disbelief: "Are the two gentlemen crazy?" Who did Wang Xiao kill when he stopped this palace? It is the most treacherous and evil person who killed his father, and it is difficult to vent the anger in the heart of the palace after killing the nine clans and cutting it with thousands of knives. He actually stopped Hongu ......"

"Your Highness is not only the son of the first emperor, but also the king of all the people in the world!"

Zhou Yan was furious and roared: "Mr. didn't teach this palace like this before!" Have you forgotten what Mr. said about the principles of heaven and earth, loyalty and filial piety? This palace has suffered such a great humiliation, but you want this palace to admit your mistakes? So what else do you talk about loyalty and filial piety, and what do you talk about? ”

"Your Highness, it's the minister's fault." Song Xin cried, couldn't cry, and choked up: "It's His Royal Highness who taught the minister's mistake, the minister didn't expect His Highness to bear such a burden so soon." But for thousands of years, the dispute between the court and the court has never been as clear as the right and wrong of His Royal Highness. What a great shame is the shame of the Song family's Nandu and Jingkang? How could Song Gaozong's father and brother not be humiliated by Jin Guo in every way? How did Song Gaozong do it? Shaoxing negotiated peace, sent envoys to the Jin State to sue for peace, and accepted the canonization of the Jin State. Our current situation is even worse than that of the Song Dynasty, but fortunately, tonight the Duke of Yu Guo has negotiated for His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness only needs to bow his head to the Duke of Yu, which is much better than the shame of Song Gaozong......"

"How many times has Hongu told you! Don't do Zhao Gou in this palace! ”

"Your Highness doesn't want to be Zhao Gou? Then you have to be the son of Fusu, the Emperor of Han Ai, the Emperor of Jin Huai, and the Emperor of Jin! Song Li suddenly shouted: "Your Highness looks down on Zhao Gou, but the minister has the courage to tell His Highness today that for thousands of years, there are countless monarchs and princes who have ended up more miserable than Zhao Gou. Wait until one day His Royal Highness's talent and courage can surpass Zhao Gou, and the army and people under his rule can be stronger than the Southern Song Dynasty, and wait until that day, His Royal Highness will come to talk to the minister about your ambitions, and then the minister will crash to death on the pillar to thank him for the crime of today's collision! ”

"You ...... What do you want the world to think of Hongu from now on?! ”

"What does the world think of Your Highness?" Song Li laughed angrily and said, "Your Highness is the survival of the world, what do you think of the stupid man in the market?!" ”

Zhou Yan roared: "Indulge the murderer of the king and kill the father, and negotiate peace with the anti-thief. Since then, the history is clear, and the infamy is borne by the palace alone, you are for your own wealth, and you want to fall into the palace in a situation of unfilial piety and disloyalty! ”

"Your Highness!" Song Li trembled with anger, and said with red eyes: "Your Highness! In the current situation, do you care what the stupid people in the world think? They opened their mouths and came casually, can they avenge the emperor for His Highness to kill Meng Jiu? Can you resist hundreds of thousands of troops from the north and south for Your Highness? Can it revitalize Great Chu for His Highness to regain the lost land?

His Royal Highness has to pay for a little face? After death, no one will speak for His Royal Highness, and the history will only be written for the winner. When you were ruined, they wiped their mouths and turned their heads to sing praises to Zhou Yu. Is this the name His Highness wants? At that time, His Royal Highness will not even be able to do Zhao Gou, and His Highness will not be as good as Zhao Gou! ”

Zhou Yan buzzed in his head, and took two steps back, only to feel that his face was torn off by Song Li.

Song Li was also open-minded, and he took two steps forward and was about to speak, but Song Xin grabbed him.

"Your Highness, it is the ministers who have misspoken the words, and the ministers are guilty." Song Xindao.

He looked at Zhou Yan, his tone calmed down, and he said slowly: "Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess came forward. Your Highness can rest assured that the situation is not too bad...... Yu Guogong is a pragmatic person, His Royal Highness made amends to him and asked him to repel Zhou Yu's rebels. The situation will get better. ”

Zhou Yan was red and didn't answer.

"This time, Nanjing has made some means, but in fact, His Royal Highness's strength is not injured, and the army is still there. As long as the monarch and the minister are sincere, the minister believes that His Royal Highness will be able to survive this night. ”

Song Li heard his brother say this, and also knelt down and saluted Zhou Yan and said, "It's a minister's false words, please punish Your Highness." The minister only asks His Highness to put aside his prejudices and tide over the difficulties with the public of the kingdom......"

After a while, Zhou Yan swallowed his lips, as if deflated, and said, "This palace knows." ”

"The minister arranges a car for His Highness......

"Let's go again tomorrow." Zhou Yan said weakly: "The Duke of Yu must have rested as well." ”

"It's good ......"

The Song brothers walked out of the hall and breathed a long sigh of relief.

They entered the government after Zhou Yan was imprisoned, and they thought that they were Zhou Yan's courtiers rather than the ministers of the first emperor, and they didn't think it was a big deal for the emperor to be killed.

Jiangnan will fight if it wants to, and sooner or later it will be fought.

As for whether it is good or not? That's Wang Xiao's business......

"Your Highness is too young, and you have a heart."

"Young man, good ......"

~~

Zhou Yan knew that he had to give in to Wang Xiao, and if the Song brothers could fill their righteous indignation for themselves, his anger would disappear. can also pretend to be generous and say a few words not angry.

But now that he thinks that his father was killed, he has to endure it, and his subordinates are even more upset when he is slapped and his subordinates persuade him to endure it.

After sitting for a while, he regained his spirits and went to see Queen Xu as usual.

Empress Xu was crying, and after listening to what Zhou Yan said, she said, "The two Mr. Song are really thinking about you, according to what they say." There is another one, my son should immediately win over the courtiers, such as Zuo Jinglun and He Liangyuan, otherwise once Zhou Yu tells the world, these former emperors and important ministers will no longer support you, and the situation will be bad. ”

"Erchen understands."

"When there is always a political disagreement between the monarch and the minister, you go to see the Duke of Yu tomorrow to make amends, and the matter will pass. Fortunately, the great plan of the northern expedition to the south was completed...... By the way, Font wants to meet you. He's still an uncle, so let's see him. ”

"Yes."

Zhou Yan became more and more disappointed in his heart.

- Is there no one who cares about the death of his father?

Not long after, Xu Can wore mourning clothes to the side hall to meet him, but he heard that Zhou Yan was going to deal with him and came to intercede.

Zhou Yan wanted to dispose of Xu Can because Xu Can persuaded Wang Xiao to let Emperor Yanguang abdicate.

Now that Emperor Yanguang is gone, Zhou Yan no longer intends to dispose of him, so he agreed.

"Uncle's peace of mind."

Xu Can was overjoyed, and suddenly mentioned it again before leaving.

"If Your Highness has any troubles, you can ask what you want. He Shoufu ...... It's godly. ”

After Xu Can left, Zhou Yan thought about it, thought of the three words 'god', and summoned He Liangyuan.

"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." He Liangyuan knelt down in front of Zhou Yan and cried in a low voice.

He was keeping a vigil in the front hall tonight, tears on his face still stained, and he was obviously extremely mournful to the emperor.

Zhou Yan listened to He Liangyuan's cry, and also felt sadness.

This is probably the only person who cares about his father tonight.

"The minister is guilty, when the minister sees His Royal Highness, he thinks of the voice and smile of the first emperor, and he can't help it...... It is really a great fault of the minister to make His Royal Highness sad! ”

"He Qing is loyal, and this palace understands it."

Zhou Yan didn't believe in any good distance, and he didn't plan to tell it all, so he muttered: "This palace learned the news, Zhou Yu has already calculated that his father Emperor Bintian may send troops to Jinan, what does He Qing think?" ”

This 'counted', he was already alluding to, just waiting for He Liangyuan to ask.

Unexpectedly, He Liangyuan was shocked: "Your Highness is at odds with the Duke of Qiu?!" How is it good, how is it good......"

Zhou Yan was stunned.

"How does He Qing know?"

He Liangyuan kowtowed heavily and said, "Your Highness will ask Yu Chen, something must have happened." If His Royal Highness can trust the minister, he can tell him completely, and the minister will never live up to His Highness's kindness! ”

- It's really, 'God'.

Zhou Yan carefully hid many details before he said a few words, and He Liangyuan suddenly interrupted again: "How many people did Your Highness bring tonight?" ”

"There are 100 guards in the palace."

"Song Xin, Song Li sour Confucian, dangerous to His Highness!" He Liangyuan hurriedly said: "This matter is secret, in case the news leaks out, His Highness lets go of the thief, how does the world look at His Highness?" I ask Your Highness to quickly let these guards tighten their mouths. ”

"There are more than 100 people, how to do it?"

"This matter can be left to the minister." He Liangyuan responded.

Zhou Yan felt a little relieved. Compared to the Song brothers, they finger their feet all day long. He Liangyuan is much more comfortable, both smart and capable, and decent......

"Your Highness, regarding the matter of the Duke of Yu, what the two Lord Song said is good. However, acting is a little pedantic. He Liangyuan said again: "It is true that the northern expedition to the south can break the situation, but if His Royal Highness goes to apologize to the Duke of Qiu first, it will inevitably be inappropriate." The real culprit who killed the first emperor was not punished, and he united with the anti-thief...... If the matter gets out, His Highness's reputation will be over. His Royal Highness can stay in the palace to guard the spirit of the first emperor, and only treat it as if he has not left the palace tonight. In the future, if something happens, it will be done by the Duke of Yu alone, and it has nothing to do with His Highness. ”

Zhou Yan said: "But if he really lets go? ”

"No, it won't. He will not be able to lay down his authority. He Liangyuan said firmly.

"He is just making a move, using retreat as advance to coerce His Highness. If His Highness is soft this time, he will only become more rigid and self-righteous in the future, and His Highness can only be led by his nose. His Royal Highness asked the minister once, and the minister asserted that the Duke of Yu Guo would be able to defend Jinan for His Royal Highness. What His Highness should guard against is that he will despise His Highness in the future......"

Zhou Yan realized.

- The old ministers used by the father and the emperor are different from inexperienced new officials like Song Xin and Song Li.

He Liangyuan narrowed his old eyes slightly.

In all fairness, he didn't want to offend Wang Xiao. But if he wants to have power again, he must be trusted by Zhou Yan. Tonight is the best opportunity, seize this opportunity, and make Zhou Yan impress himself with Zhou Yan's intentions......
