Liu Yan couldn't help but say, and swung his sword towards Liu Xun. In an instant, blood flew sideways, and the sword was stuck between Liu Xun's neck, and Liu Yan used all his strength to pull out the sword, and blood gushed out.

When everyone was dumbfounded, Liu Xun had already rolled his eyes, twitched and covered his bleeding neck with his hands, and then slowly fell motionless in place, without any breath.

Emperor Han's eyes were full of tears, but he had been suppressing them to prevent tears from falling, and his cheeks were twitching just like his heartbeat at the moment, Emperor Han calmed down his emotions, and slowly the expression on his face became stiff, he had long expected such an ending......

After a period of silence in the Xuanzheng Palace, it was broken by the guards outside the door.

"Report ......"

After Xun Mou saw Liu Yan's signal, he responded loudly: "Say!" ”

The guards outside the hall replied through the door, "The rebels have all been annihilated, and Hou Zhigui has killed himself." ”

Liu Yan's face once again showed the joy of victory, and he said while playing with the sword in his hand: "Grandpa Huang, it's time to make a holy decree!" ”

"Do you think you can force me?" Emperor Han sat upright and was unmoved.

Liu Yan smiled at the sword, then moved behind Zhang Cen, wiping the blood on the shoulder of the frightened Zhang Cen with the sword, and said, "Grandpa Huang, do you think I can't do it?" ”

Emperor Han finally stood up slowly at this moment, forcibly straightened his body, pinned his hands behind his back, still did not change his face, walked down the Danqi, walked to Zhang Cen, stared down at Zhang Cen, and stretched out his hand to Liu Yan to ask for a sword.

Seeing that Emperor Han was bent on getting rid of himself, Zhang Cen quickly knelt and turned around, kowtowed to Liu Yan repeatedly, and cried bitterly and begged for mercy, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spared the minions, for the sake of the merits of the minions, the lives of the minions ......"

Liu Yan knew what Emperor Han meant, looked at the sword in his hand, and was still a little hesitant, after all, if Zhang Cen had not helped block the news, Emperor Han would have been prepared a long time ago.

Emperor Han saw Liu Yan's hesitation, so he looked up at Liu Yan and sneered: "Reluctant to kill? Remember, he can help you today and help others tomorrow. ”

"No, no, no......" Zhang Cen hurriedly kowtowed, "The slave must return to his hometown, never return to the dynasty, and the slave ......"

Emperor Han saw that Liu Yan hesitated again, so he smiled again: "The kindness of a woman is difficult to achieve a great cause!" ”

Liu Yan looked back at Xun Mou and saw that he had no expression, so he handed the sword in his hand to Emperor Han.

The moment Emperor Han took the sword, his thoughts were full of thoughts, and his heart suddenly hooked his brows, but that feeling only appeared on his face for a moment, and he immediately smiled awe-inspiringly: "Zhang Cen, how do I treat you?" ”

Zhang Cen immediately hugged Emperor Han's leg and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, for so many years, the old slave has served wholeheartedly, so you can spare the slave......"

Emperor Han's eyes widened in anger, his hands clenched the hilt of the sword, the blade of the sword was facing downward, and it was straight into the back of Zhang Cen's neck, and the blood splashed on the Han Emperor's miserable white face, golden dragon robe, and jet-black floor tiles. Emperor Han's distorted face regained his composure in an instant, and then he stretched out his foot and kicked hard, pulling out his sword. was so frightened that Liu Yan took a step back before he regained his strength.

Seeing this, Emperor Han couldn't help but smile, "What are you afraid of?" I'm a prisoner. ”

Liu Yan said disdainfully: "Grandpa Huang, only if you immediately make an edict to the Zen throne, your grandson will definitely ensure that you live ......in peace."

Emperor Han turned a deaf ear and didn't care, took out a yellow silk handkerchief from his waist, wiped the blood on his face, and interrupted: "As a monarch, you should be able to endure what people can't bear, and you can't hurt people." After wiping his cheeks, he wiped the blood on his robe, "In this world, if everyone is a hero, a saint and a sage, and everyone is given enough to the people, Yan'er, come to see if this person is a saint or a faint king?" ”

Liu Yanleng paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xun Mou, and after thinking about it, he replied: "Of course, it is the Holy Monarch who can govern the religion well." ”

"Wrong!" Emperor Han suddenly raised his head and stopped drinking, looking at Liu Yan with blazing eyes, "If the world is really like this, then the emperor is a stupid and faint king." ”

Liu Yan and Xun Mou looked at each other again and were speechless.

Emperor Han sneered, and then wiped the blood on the sword, "It's no wonder, I also realized after sitting in this position that if everyone is a hero and everyone is a wise man, then the people are wise, the people are wise, and the people are confused; If every family is rich, then the people have surplus money, and if they have surplus gold, they will recruit troops and hoard weapons. At that time, the world will become another warring state. Then he continued to ask, "Yan'er, then tell me what it means to be 'rich and prosperous'?" ”

Liu Yan knew the intentions of the emperor's grandfather, so he said with confidence: "Only when the country is rich and gives small profits to the people can the country be governed in peace, and the world can make up its minds, and it is difficult to fight with the king if you don't fight with you." ”

Emperor Han didn't speak again, seeing that the sword in his hand was shiny, he threw the silk handkerchief on the ground, and after looking at the sword for a long time, he fell into silence again, and suddenly understood something, but he didn't seem to understand, he knew that as an emperor, he should not show his expression, and the ministers could not distinguish, but at this time, all his emotions seemed to be revealed on his face. Is the corner of his mouth laughing or crying? Are his eyes happy or sad? Is his brow furrowed or unfurled? There still seems to be no answer, and no one can see through it. Only the reflection in the blade of the sword, although it was a little blurry, felt as if it had illuminated itself clearly. Emperor Han sighed with emotion, at this moment in his life, this sword returned to his hands, but this sword no longer belonged to him, maybe it never belonged to him, would it belong to Liu Yan? Maybe it is, maybe it never is. Emperor Han held the heavy sword in his hand, his eyes seemed to reveal thousands of attachments, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be so disdainful, he slowly turned around, walked up to the Danqi with difficulty, came to the dragon seat and sat down, and said seriously: "How difficult it is to defend the country!" Yan'er, like Gao Yun and Cui Hao, these people must be used well, and Pingyuan Bo'anjia, especially An Shiqing, is also worthy of a big responsibility, now the border wars are frequent, as long as there is a new king, many surrounding countries will definitely be eyeing each other, the Tang Kingdom in southern Xinjiang will definitely see the opportunity to move, Wu Yue in the east has always endured humiliation, and at that time he will also join forces with the Southern Tang Dynasty, Xun Mouke can guard the southern Xinjiang. The army of tigers and wolves in the Great Fan Kingdom will also fight back, Gao Yun knows the most about the Great Fan, and can let him go and retreat the enemy. If Northern Liao takes advantage of the fire to rob, An Shiqing will also have the strength to retreat from the enemy. Emperor Han sighed, "People are dying and their words are good, listen to the emperor's grandfather, don't let this great river and mountain disappear from your hands." ”

Liu Yan and Xun Mou looked at each other again, did not answer, and their moods were a little complicated.

Emperor Han said, looked outside the palace gate for the last time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, picked up the sword in his hand, and killed himself with a horizontal sword.
