Changan.

Shen Leng didn't know that there were waves in the court because of him again, and it was impossible to know that His Majesty was angry because of him, and when he knew, it was already afternoon, and the lazy sun made people lazy, Shen Leng accompanied the old dean to walk around the academy, and then received the order to let him enter the palace.

After thinking about it, it was okay anyway, and the old dean decided to follow, he was one of the few people in Chang'an City and even in the entire Daning who could enter the palace directly without asking for a decree, His Majesty said that there was no taboo for the old dean to enter the palace.

It was already spring, and His Majesty began to feel the panic in the Dongnuan Pavilion again, and was ready to move to the side of the house, when the old dean and Shen Leng entered the palace, Dai Fangzhou and a group of attendants were packing the things that His Majesty was used to.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Leng and the old dean leaned over at the same time, and the emperor came over to help the old dean and looked at Shen Leng: "You can get up too." ”

The old dean didn't need to let him, he curled up in his chair, like an old cat who was tired in the afternoon.

When he entered the palace, Shen Leng knew that His Majesty was furious, so he looked a little nervous and a little apologetic.

"Got it?"

The emperor glanced at him, and guessed from the expression on Shen Leng's face what Shen Leng was thinking at this time, the emperor scolded people again, and Shen Leng felt guilty.

"I know."

Shen Leng lowered his head.

The Emperor asked, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Leng thought for a while and replied, "The minister thinks that His Majesty is rightly scolded. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head with a smile: "I thought it was your fault that you still had to pretend to say a few words, and you should pay more attention in the future, but I really underestimated your cheekiness." ”

Shen Leng said: "The minister can't admit his mistake in this matter, if the minister admits that he is wrong, it means that His Majesty is also wrong." ”

The emperor nodded, this thing was asked Shen Leng to do, if Shen Leng admitted his mistake, of course, he admitted his mistake, people think differently in different positions, some positions require you to keep reflecting and keep admitting mistakes, and the emperor is different, the emperor can keep reflecting but definitely can't keep admitting mistakes.

"Just ......"

Shen Leng hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's just that Your Majesty shouldn't lose your temper so much next time, what they say is also within their duties, just let them say a few words." ”

The emperor snorted: "They want to embarrass you, I will embarrass them, they want to rip off your clothes and humiliate you, I will rip off their clothes and humiliate them." ”

Family affection, unreasonable.

The emperor pointed to the chair: "Sit down and say." ”

Shen Leng sat down with his ass and looked at the old dean, as if he was asleep, but with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How's that going on with Eijo Yanagishi?"

The Emperor asked.

Shen Leng said: "I have almost asked him how many people he can win over in the Sang Kingdom, Yingtiao Liu'an is a little confident, he said that as long as he goes back, he can let the former royal family and the descendants of the Sang Kingdom stand on his side, and at least tens of thousands of horses can be gathered in an instant." ”

"He also said that his mother's family almost monopolized the mulberry silk weaving and salt in the Sang country, and had strong financial resources, and his father Yingjotai was the largest group of pirates in the Sang country at the beginning, and now there are many generals in the Sang country who are his father's old subordinates, so you can also try to win them over."

The emperor snorted: "Don't you want to go to Sang Country in person?" ”

"Minister...... I can't hide it from Your Majesty. ”

Shen Leng said: "Knowing yourself and knowing that you have won a hundred battles, the minister really plans to go to Sang Country, take a closer look at the sailors of Sang Country, and see Sang."

The customs of the country, and then look at the national strength of the country. ”

"Don't go."

The Emperor shook his head.

Shen Leng had no choice but to say: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"You're already a general, and it's not good to come forward in person for everything."

"When Your Majesty was a general, he also stepped forward in person for everything."

"Are you comparing yourself to me?"

"I don't dare."

The emperor said: "After returning to the eastern frontier, you arrange for someone to send Yingtiao Liu'an back to Sang Kingdom, even if you have completed the explanation I gave you, as for what Yingtiao Liu'an did in Sang Kingdom, naturally there are people from the Tingwei Mansion to cooperate and support, and you can prepare for war with peace of mind." ”

"Obey."

"Also, good news for you."

The emperor reached out and picked up a book from the table and handed it to Shen Leng: "The fold that was just delivered yesterday was sent from Dongjiang." ”

Shen Leng took it with both hands and looked at it, and then his eyes lit up: "This is the best news before the war." ”

The emperor said: "The bearded man has finally installed the firearm on the warship, and there is no problem with the crossbow array car being used in naval warfare after improvement, this is indeed good news, wait, if the crossbow array chariot warship has exerted the expected power after this battle, I will reward him heavily." ”

"Your Majesty thanks for him."

"One more thing."

The emperor looked at Shen Leng and wanted to say, but suddenly held back: "Forget it, I'll tell you when it's time to say it." ”

He sat down next to the old dean and covered the old dean with a blanket: "Actually, you don't need to know about this, otherwise you will feel regretful." ”

Shen Leng was a little confused: "What are you sorry about?" ”

The emperor smiled: "You'll know later." ”

At the same time, the Yao family.

Yao Meilun walked in with a slight shaking of her waist, and the people in the family seemed to be a little afraid when they saw her, and there was some resistance, this woman was their family, but I don't know when it started, a little person who was originally dispensable turned into a master and came back.

The head of the Yao family is Yao Meilun's grandfather, although he is old but his body is still strong, his favorite son Yao Chaoyuan was indeed disheartened after he was brought to justice by the imperial court, and later the Tongcunhui gave him hope.

However, Yao Chaozong had another accident, and his hopes were completely shattered.

Yao looked at his granddaughter and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"The proprietor's meaning is actually quite simple."

Yao Meilun squatted down beside Yao Jin, held Yao Jin's knee like a very filial granddaughter and said, "It is already an urgent matter to get rid of Shen Leng, if you don't get rid of him, he won't let our family go." ”

Yao Jindao: "Your Majesty said that it was Yao Chaozong's mistake alone, and it has nothing to do with the Yao family. ”

Yao Meilun laughed: "You still believe Your Majesty's words? He just didn't want to touch the Yao family for the time being, and secretly hid a million taels of silver, which was enough to rob the family and destroy the clan three times. ”

Yao Jin frowned: "But Your Majesty didn't move, just didn't move." ”

"I don't know if you remember, grandpa, you told me a story when I was a child, and I'll tell you now."

Yao Meilun said: "In the former dynasty of Chu, Chu Prime Minister Li Yan took a fancy to a young man, named Yu Zhi, who was a first-class jinshi of the year, he felt that Yu Zhi had the talent to govern the country, so he accepted him as a disciple, it turned out that Li Yan's vision was indeed very good, and after a few years, Yu Zhi stood out and became an indispensable person in the court of Chu. ”

"Li Yan is honest and honest, although his protégés are widely spread all over the world, he is not arrogant, and he is also loyal to the Chu Emperor

was worried, but Emperor Chu was a little worried, half of the people in the court were Li Yan's protégés, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, so he wanted to replace Li Yan's position with someone else. ”

"Emperor Chu then secretly summoned Yu Zhi and told him that he wanted him to be the prime minister, but the premise was that Li Yan must be eliminated, under such temptation, Yu Zhi began to desperately design and plant, he thought that when he was in control, he suddenly made trouble in the court, but he was defeated, because his evidence was easily dissolved by Li Yan."

"If it is according to common sense, Li Yan should get rid of Yu Zhi in a rage, but he forgave him, saying that he was also for the good of Chu State, Yu Zhi was grateful on the surface, and from that day on, he completely became Li Yan's little follower, but what?"

Yao Meilun looked at Yao Jin: "Grandpa, you know the ending." ”

Yao Jin nodded: "Three years later, Yu Zhi finally grabbed some handles, Emperor Chu took the opportunity to order Li Yan to be beheaded, before the execution, Li Yan said that he wanted to see Yu Zhi, in the court Li Yan asked Yu Zhi why, Yu Zhi said, since that day he has been worried about Li Yan's revenge, he is afraid, if Li Yan does not die, he will not be able to sleep." ”

Yao Meilun said: "It seems that Your Majesty doesn't have any attitude now, but what about Shen Leng? Shen Leng didn't destroy our Yao family with one blow, and he would be the same as Yu Zhi, worried about our revenge, if he didn't kill the people, if he didn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he wouldn't be able to sleep. ”

Yao Jin's face kept changing, and after being silent for a while, he said: "But our Yao family can't fight Shen Leng now, behind him is His Majesty, who can beat him." ”

"I can."

Yao Meilun got up and said as she walked in the room: "There is the emperor behind Shen Leng, and there is the Tongcun Association behind us, what the proprietor means...... Take out our family's ancestral scale armor and use it as bait. ”

"Lewd Scale Armor?!"

Yao Jinmeng stood up: "That is the armor of the ancestors when they were fighting, and it is the witness of the founding of Daning!" ”

"It's just one thing."

Yao Meilun said: "Value for money is a thing, and it makes no sense to put it there to make people bow...... Grandpa, if you give me the scale armor, I will naturally find a way to get rid of Shen Leng. ”

Yao Jin's face kept changing, and he was silent for a long, long time, and finally nodded: "I hope you don't involve the family." ”

"How so?"

Yao Meilun said: "In the future, if the Yao family plays a pivotal role in the court, I will also follow the light, what I have to do now is to save the Yao family instead of destroying the Yao family, grandpa, you should believe me." ”

Half an hour later, Guangde Building.

Yao Meilun looked at the young man in front of him, smiled and said, "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you have been in the Tingwei Mansion for six or seven years, right?" ”

The young man bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"Although your official position in the Tingwei Mansion is not high, your position is important, and I want you to do one thing now."

"You say."

"I have to release the two people who are locked up in the Tingwei Mansion."

"Who?"

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's Yao Chaozong's people, whether it's his son or his daughter, even if it's his housekeeper or subordinate."

Zhuo Ying of the Tingwei Mansion was silent for a moment, and nodded: "The lighter the status, the easier it is to get out, tomorrow you wait outside the city, there will be two corpses transported out, some insignificant people can't bear the punishment and die is a normal thing, you pick up people, I will give people away." ”

Yao Meilun nodded, and took out a stack of silver tickets from her cuffs: "This is given to you by the proprietor." ”

Zhuo Ying took the silver ticket and looked at it, so his face was happy.

There are ten in total, one thousand taels each.

Buy two dead people, it's enough.
