. Zhang Shuo was furious and said, "Yang Yan, I see how long you can be hard." He walked to the door and shouted outside the road: "Come, take him away for me, and I will interrogate him in detail." ”

At this time, a woman outside spoke, it was Hong Shu'er's voice, and said: "The princess has an order, if you want to ask questions, you can only ask here, and you are not allowed to be tortured, and you are not allowed to take people away." ”

Zhang Shuo put on an official stand and said: "We are still ministers of the imperial court, and we are interrogating Yang Yan at the behest of the emperor." You little women still dare to take us away, today we have to take him away, whoever dares to stop him is disobeying the holy will, I think which of you can afford this crime. ”

That knew that Hong Shu'er was even more horizontal than Zhang Shuo, and said: "We only respect the princess's orders, regardless of anything else, don't say that you are ministers of the DPRK and the central government, even if the prime minister is here today, you can't take people away." Without the princess's order, let alone that you are following the emperor's will, even if the emperor himself comes, you don't want to take people away. ”

Zhang said that he was choked by her and couldn't speak, and Zeng Mo shouted on the side: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite, you are so bold that you dare to defy the emperor, this is worth it." ”

Hong Shu'er said: "Two adults, you can stop for a while, as long as there are our sisters guarding here, no matter who it is, they will not let him take people away." ”

Zeng Mo and Zhang said that there was no way this time, so they had to stomp their feet and leave dejectedly. Zhang Shuo also glanced back and said, "Yang Yan, you wait and see." ”

Their conversation Yang Yan could hear clearly in the room, and at this time Yang Yan was a little confused, not understanding what Zhao Yueru's intentions were. At this time, the figure flickered, and Hong Shu'er walked in from outside the house with a scripture and said, "Senior Brother Yang, you have come to your senses." ”

Yang Yan said: "Shu'er, what's going on?" ”

Hong Shu'er shook her head and said, "Senior Brother Yang, we don't understand why Senior Sister wants to arrest you. We didn't know anything about it beforehand, and if we knew, we would definitely stop Senior Sister. But now that the key is in the hands of Senior Sister, we can't let you go. However, when the senior sister asked a few of us to stay here, she told us that no one is allowed to take you away, even if the emperor comes. So don't worry, no one can take you away. ”

Yang Yan was silent for a while and said, "Shu'er, can you go and invite your senior sister over." ”

Hong Shu'er agreed, turned around and left. After a while, the door opened again, and Zhao Yueru walked into the house. The two looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while, and after a while, Fu Yueru turned her head and looked away. Said softly: "If you want to scold me, then scold." ”

Yang Yan looked at her and said, "I just don't understand, why are you doing this?" I asked myself that everything I did was done according to your heart, as if there was nothing wrong with it, and if I did something wrong, you could explain it to me directly, and whatever you wanted me to do, I would not hesitate to do it, even if you wanted me to die, I would be willing. But why would you want to do that? ”

Zhao Yueru was silent.

Yang Yan then said word by word: "Can you answer me, why are you doing this?" ”

At this time, Zhao Yueru slowly took out a gold cylinder from her arms, handed it to Yang Yan, and said, "Look at it yourself." ”

Yang Yan took the golden cylinder, opened it, his face changed, and Zhao Yueru said, "You should understand." ”

Yang Yan didn't expect that Xiaozong would be so protective of himself before he died, and he would leave such a secret decree, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he let out a long breath and said: "Since we escaped the pursuit of the Jin army and returned to Longxing Mansion, I have been trying my best to resist the attack of the Jin army, and I have tried my best to save the Great Song Dynasty, and I have not betrayed the Great Song Dynasty and sought to seize power." ”

Zhao Yueru said slowly: "If you don't respect the edict of the imperial court, there will always be." After the imperial court moved the capital to Tianlin Mansion, it asked you to donate money and grain, Guangdong and Guangxi were all territories of the Great Song Dynasty, but you kept the money and grain in the two places as private and did not dedicate them to the imperial court, can you deny it? ”

Yang Yan sneered: "Is Tianlin Mansion really short of money and food? You should know what the emperor is doing with money and food. Quang Nam did gather a lot of money and food, but I never took a single cent privately, and all of it was used to resist the supply of the Jin army. According to your meaning, I should give all this money and food for the emperor to build a palace and squander it wantonly, for those corrupt officials to satisfy their personal naan, and then let the soldiers go hungry to fight, is this the only way to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhao Yueru was silent for a while before she said: "Even if you make sense about the matter of money and grain, then, this time the Jiangnan front line was defeated on all fronts, do you dare to say that you didn't arrange it on purpose?" ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this was deliberately arranged by me." ”

Zhao Yueru sneered: "Why are you doing this? Didn't you keep claiming that you were resisting the Jin soldiers with all your might? It is clearly to use the defeat to blackmail the court and keep your official position. ”

Yang Yan was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, I really want to use the war situation to blackmail the imperial court and restore my official position. ”

Zhao Yueru snorted and said, "Then what is this?" ”

Yang Yan said lightly: "Because I can't hand over those more than 100,000 horses to Zhang Shuo to command indiscriminately, Zhang Shuo has the ability to resist the attack of the Jin army, you should know better than me." These horses are all elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are an important force for the future counteroffensive of the Jin Army to restore the Great Song Dynasty, and I must not let these hundreds of thousands of horses be buried in vain by Zhang Shuo. In that case, the Great Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed. Only if I defend it, it will be possible to repel the Jin army. ”

Zhao Yueru said: "Then you also deliberately instigated the people and the officials of Longxing Mansion, what kind of letter of request for fortune, the letter of the people, and how to explain it." You are clearly planning to do something wrong. ”

The officials of Longxing Mansion asked for a letter of fate, and Yang Yan only learned about the matter of the people entering the Book of Wanmin after returning to Longxing Mansion, Zhao Qianru had reminded Yang Yan that this kind of thing was actually very easy to be suspicious of the imperial court, but it happened to the scriptures, and Yang Yan couldn't change it, anyway, Yang Yan's behavior at that time was disrespectful to the imperial court, and he didn't care about it anymore. Yang Yan said: "I didn't incite any people, they did it spontaneously, asking for my life, hoping that I could stay." ”

Zhao Yueru said: "Excuse me?" They are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and what should be respected is the order of the imperial court, that is, the imperial court wants to remove you from your official position, if it is not for someone behind your back, how can they ask for your life? ”

Yang Yan said: "That's because they can see from the scriptures that it is the order of the imperial court that is wrong, and I am really trying to resist the Jin people, and I am really able to resist the Jin army and protect the people." The idea of the common people is actually very simple, that is, whoever is good to them and who can protect them, they will support whom. It's as simple as that. ”
