Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 1 The Lonely Emperor's Dangerous Path
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, and a large black wave swept in, rushing until it was less than fifty steps away from the gate of Nangong Palace, and then the waves stopped stopping.
Nanying jumped off the white crane's horse, habitually flicked his cloak, and then walked towards the Nangong Gate.
Despite the lack of sleep, Nanying did not feel the slightest sense of sleepiness. Because, inside and outside the murderous and dangerous imperial capital, he must always be sober, as long as he makes a mistake, it will cause an irreparable tragedy.
After a night of urgent discussions, under the collective wisdom and efforts of the generals of the Bohai Navy, the contingency strategies were repeatedly studied, and finally strung together into a breakthrough plan of sudden migration......
"Brother Hanyang! Ha ha! A loud voice shouted from afar: "I haven't seen you for many days, I haven't seen you for many days!" ”
Nan Ying was stunned and turned sideways: "It's actually a highway brother?" Why are you here? ”
The person who came was lightly armored and wearing a sword, with a handsome face, and a kind look between his demeanor, which was the long-lost Yuan Shu.
He came to Nan Ying and patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "Han Yang really asked knowingly...... As a tiger general, the foolish brother is on duty! ”
Do you still know that you are a tiger general? Yesterday, Lao Tzu bravely broke into the palace gate and turned the world upside down, why didn't you come out to maintain order? To put it mildly, who doesn't know your dirty thoughts! A strong sense of contempt welled up in Nanying's heart, which led to a new hatred and old hatred for the Taiping treasure and the collusion of Fengxiong in the past.
The anger in his heart grew hotter, but his face swelled up with more enthusiasm than Yuan Shu, and he grabbed Yuan Shu's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Brother Highway, you shouldn't show your face like this...... Do you know that I made a big fuss at the palace gate yesterday, but I didn't see you, and I was really relieved from the bottom of my heart! ”
"Why is that?" Yuan Shu was obviously stunned, and then suddenly said, "Han Yang rest assured. You and my brother, even if I am at the scene, will definitely advance and retreat with you. Why should you worry? ”
"The highway was misunderstood, I was defending Luoyang that day, and you were the only one to help!" Nan Ying said with a straight face: "Of course I know your righteousness...... But doesn't the highway know? Yesterday was a chaotic scene, if you were here, I am afraid that there will be villains who are not good for you? ”
"What villain? Did Han Yang hear something? Yuan Shu's slender eyes instantly narrowed, revealing a look of vigilance: "Is there anyone who wants to go against me?" ”
"I heard the news!" Nan Ying lowered his voice again and said: "Someone told the traitorous eunuch in the court, saying that you intend to usurp the Han and stand on your own under the pretense of 'those who represent the Han and should be high'...... You talk about it. Yesterday, I openly tore the skin with China and North Korea, and if you were to join me again on the spot, wouldn't it make those young people fly for you even more? I'm worried that it's going to hurt the road! ”
"Someone snitching? Say I'm a usurper and self-reliant? Yuan Shu's white face immediately became gloomy, he couldn't help but be displeased, and said lightly: "Who is so malicious and slanderous?" Didn't he know it was going to ruin my family...... Brother Han Yang has always had many eyes and ears, but have you ever found out who this person is? ”
"The Son of Heaven only said that it was relayed by the Chinese and North Korean officials, and it is unknown who it is......." Nanying's voice did not fall, and Yuan Shu had already changed color.
He was shocked and said, "Even the Son of Heaven knows? What is it that makes people so sinister? ”
"The highway also knows ......" Nanying pretended to sigh and said, "This world is the way." Often, yesterday's enemies become today's friends, and yesterday's friends will attack you today! ”
"Does Han Yang mean anything when he feels like this?" Yuan Shu frowned and said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly!" ”
"Nothing. I'm just a little sad! Nan Ying smiled bitterly and patted Yuan Shu: "Think about it, I am far away in the Bohai Sea, how could I suddenly come to the imperial capital crazy and stupidly, and do such stupid things that harm others and myself?" ”
"If there is no one to instigate it. Is it possible? He looked gloomy: "The highway understands who I am...... If I want to fight for power and profit, as long as I nod my head that day, I can be at least a captain of my boss. Do you have to wait until today? ”
Seeing Yuan Shu's thoughtful face, he nodded unconsciously, sneered secretly in his heart, but said a little indifferently: "It's ridiculous that I still don't know that I was fooled, and I fell into the fire again in vain, and in the end I could only marry someone else...... I want to advise the highway, you are also a righteous person, don't be taken advantage of! ”
After saying that, he let out a long sigh again, turned around and walked towards the palace gate, full of the helpless complex of the hero's tragedy, leaving Yuan Shu alone to stand in place, not knowing what he was thinking.
Very good, what I want is this effect....... yesterday there was a big disturbance in the forbidden palace, not only Yuan Shao, the initiator who provoked himself to enter Beijing, hid aside, but even Hu Ben Zhonglang, who had always been fighting with him for a long time, shrank Yuan Shu's head, if the two did not have a secret song, does anyone believe it? Do you really think I'm stupid? Let's see that I have come to confuse the public and the public, even if it can't make you turn against each other, it will make you sleep in the same bed and have different dreams, and it will be difficult for you to be of one heart and one mind!
"Hanyang is here! Ahem! Above the side hall, there was still only Wang Yue standing behind the Emperor Ling, and when he saw Nanying slowly entering the hall, Emperor Ling couldn't help but show joy, and on his pale face, the blush flashed away.
He saw that Nan Ying didn't say a word, just stood at the bottom of the stairs and stared at himself fiercely, and said in surprise: "Stinky boy, who offended you again?" Put on such a face! ”
"Who? You tell me! Nanying began to move, and he let out a vicious roar from his mouth, and at the same time raised his legs and stepped up the dragon steps, walking towards the Spirit Emperor.
"Han Yang, ...... you" Knowing that Nan Ying had not done this trespass once or twice, Wang Yue still frowned, and was about to speak out to stop it, but was interrupted by the palm raised by the Spirit Emperor.
Nan Ying finally stood in front of the Spirit Emperor, he roughly pulled the Spirit Emperor's wrist, stretched out his fingers on his veins, and soon felt the Ling Emperor's disordered pulse.
"Everyone else has put a knife on your neck, how long will you hide it from me?" Nan Ying said hatefully: "Could it be that in your heart, I am so untrustworthy? ”
"Han Yang is really extraordinary, he just entered Beijing yesterday, and today he seems to have seen the overall situation!" Emperor Ling's face did not change and said: "But you are wrong, it is because I trust you too much that I did not tell you the news of the assassination, let alone summon you to King Qin...... Because, you have a more important task, and you must not be buried in the imperial capital for me! ”
"I understand what you say!" Nan Ying said angrily: "But if I don't enter Beijing, how can I protect you?" How to protect the child? I don't have the ability to grab people and things thousands of miles away! ”
"You just need to hold the Bohai Sea. That's enough! Emperor Ling said calmly: "Yesterday I was in a hurry, you seem to have forgotten to ask me something....... where is the real person?" ”
"What? That's right! Didn't you ...... He Zhen" Nan Ying was shocked: "I understand, you are using a bitter plan, first forcing He Zhen away, and then ordering him to lie in the dark to receive you and Jie'er to withdraw from the imperial capital?" ”
"Bitter meat trick? What a fitting phrase! Emperor Ling smiled slightly: "But you are wrong, I ordered him to secretly arrange for his cronies to hide in the shadows, but not for himself...... Just to save one person! ”
"Now that you know the truth!" He looked at Nan Ying quietly: "Then, with your medical skills, you should be able to judge the time limit of my time...... It's not a few days! ”
"No!" Nanying finally burst into tears uncontrollably, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I still have five thousand soldiers and horses. Enough to kill all the traitors in the imperial capital......."
"To avenge me? Take back this pointless determination! Emperor Ling interrupted him and said, "Over the years, I have forced myself to do so many wrong things that go against the will of heaven, do I still want to cause a bloody tragedy in the imperial capital after my death?" I...... I'd rather die with hatred than regret the rest of my life! ”
"I'm going to save you!" Nan Ying roared desperately: "No matter what you think, if I can't save you, I will definitely kill Yuan Shao's gang of rebels who deserve to die!" ”
"Yuan Shao? Is it really him? Emperor Ling was calm as if he was indifferent at all, and he suddenly said: "No wonder Han Yang advised me to be careful of this person and have a far-sighted ability. Amazing indeed! ”
"Sir!" Seeing that Emperor Ling was so numb, Nan Ying calmed down, he nodded to Wang Yue and said, "Mr. Lao went to invite Zhang Ji to come, and I will immediately consult with him to the Son of Heaven...... And also. I would like to say a few words to Your Majesty alone! ”
Wang Yue left the palace silently, and only two monarchs and ministers remained in the palace.
"You already knew that it was Yuan Shao's hand? Isn't it? Nanying and Emperor Ling faced each other, and slapped his palm on the dragon table: "How much else are you hiding from me?" ”
"I returned from the Bohai Sea that day, and I was conspired against as soon as I entered the palace!" Emperor Ling lowered his head: "There are masters who shoot arrows from a distance. Although Mr. Wang made a timely move, the arrow did not hit the vital point, but only broke some flesh...... Unexpectedly, the arrow was quenched with poison. It's my carelessness! ”
"Arrows?" Nan Ying shook suddenly, and he thought of Wen Chou's desire to find Li Jin's arrows last night.
"It must be Wen Chou's own shot!" He said hatefully: "No wonder he boasted of his strong archery skills last night, but he immediately blocked the conversation for Yuan Shao!" ”
"However, on what basis did Your Majesty judge that Yuan Shao was the mastermind behind the scenes?" Nanying asked rhetorically.
"My whereabouts, except for the entourage, only Chun Yu ......" Before Emperor Ling finished speaking, Nan Ying's face changed greatly: "Zhong Jian is a traitor?" ”
"That's not it, it's just that he commands the West Garden, and when he returned to Beijing, I ordered him to lead the crowd to respond!" Emperor Ling sighed: "The mobilization of soldiers and horses in the West Garden is to report to Shangguan...... And his direct subordinate official is Yuan Shao! ”
"It seems that Yuan Shao was analyzed from the clues on His Majesty's whereabouts!" Nanying woke up and said: "In this way, it is indeed Your Majesty's carelessness!" ”
"There's no evidence, so why don't you do it?" He said murderously: "No matter what Yuan Benchu is the fourth world and the third duke, he will be carefully and strictly interrogated first." How could His Majesty let it go unpunished? ”
"You're too impulsive!" Emperor Ling smiled bitterly: "Now the dispute between He Jin and the Queen Mother is on the verge of breaking out, and Yuan Shao seems to be the number two person in He Jin's faction...... What do you think would happen if I had given orders to take people without any real evidence? ”
"He Jin's faction will definitely regard this as a danger signal that I have decided to purge them and clear the way for Dong Hou to succeed to the throne, then a bloody storm will come in advance!" He sighed: "I have no choice but to endure it!" ”
"Forbearance? How long are you going to put up with it? The anger in Nanying's heart broke out again: "Do you have to endure until you, my brother and several princes are all bones?" ”
"All along, it's you who don't know!" He pointed out with a halberd that he didn't care: "Want to have the best of both worlds, and play a balance between Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He?" It is because of your constant interruption that you have caused the root of today's bane! ”
"Good scolding! Scold happily! Emperor Ling was also excited, he slapped the dragon a few times, and hissed: "Then what do you let me do?" Abolish one son, so that the other may be fulfilled? Even ordinary families may kill each other in order to divide the family property, how do you make me make a painful choice? ”
"They all support a prince to ascend to the throne, and they can be rich and noble from now on!" He was stunned and said, "But who has asked me what I want?" I don't even want to be the Son of Heaven, how can I bear to suffer this endless torture with my own flesh and blood? ”
When Emperor Ling said this, his face was already as white as paper, crumbling, and suddenly, with a "wow" sound, he opened his mouth and spit out a pool of shocking blood, and the dragon's body gradually softened.
"Your Majesty!" Nan Ying stepped forward in shock, grabbed the Spirit Emperor, he turned his head and shouted, "Someone! Quickly pass on the machine, call the imperial doctor! (To be continued......)
