In the calm time, the remnant snow of Weiyang Palace has not yet melted, and the sunlight in Hanyuan Hall shines in, and it does not feel cold. Captain Si Li's final army raised his head and saw the emperor's glance that stayed on him for a moment.

The lieutenant has great responsibilities, but his grade is not high. He was made a marquis for his merits and became famous as a young man. However, over the years, in order to abide by his duties, he has not made any too amazing achievements.

However, the final army has no regrets. Because compared with fame and glory, he knows better in his heart how important his position is.

Located on the west side of the Vermilion Bird Gate of Weiyang Palace, the Captain's Mansion of the Great Han Sili is inconspicuous among all the mansions in Chang'an, just an ordinary building. But it is here, along with the prosperity and development of the Han Dynasty, that it has become a place of majesty. All the officials and county officials at the top and bottom of the county, when they mentioned the Sili School Governor's Mansion, they were all cautious in their words and deeds, and they were worried in their hearts, lest they make any mistakes and become the target of rectification.

Over the years, under the prosperity of the times, the reason why the Chang'an court and the counties of the world have been able to maintain the rule of officials is clear, honest and fair, so that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment and abide by their duties, which is inseparable from the efforts made by the Sili School Governor's Office. And the leader of this, the final army, has paid a lot of effort for it.

Life is only a hundred years, and it is fleeting in a blink of an eye. The high-spirited teenager at the beginning, unconsciously, has grown into a real pillar of talent. Those incomparably sharp eyes, after the twists and turns of the world, have gradually become mellow and connotative. He will no longer be easily surging with blood, and cherish his body even more, because he knows that since he promises the country with this body, he will not be easily disappointed.

But today, when he noticed the expectation hidden in the emperor's eyes, he didn't hesitate at all, got up, and left his seat angrily, and came to the bottom of the Nine Dragons Golden Steps. Bow down and bow, exhaling and exhaling.

"The minister's final army is here, and he is willing to drive for His Majesty, although he is full of liver and brain, he will not hesitate to do it!"

All the eyes of the Hanyuan Hall will gather. There is no one who does not know the important person who became famous as a teenager. His feats and bold words back then have long become the motto of countless aspiring teenagers in the world to inspire themselves. When a person lives a legend, then the mission he will shoulder must be in the spotlight.

Dongfang Shuo and Sima Xiangru glanced at each other and nodded secretly. If His Majesty the Emperor of the Hanyuan Palace is facing a siege today, then if you want to break the game, you must have an extremely sharp sword. And looking at their camp, this task, except for the final army, does not think second-hand.

A hint of relief flashed across Emperor Liu Ju's face. The final army really lived up to his expectations and stepped forward. He has always had a strange sense of trust, as long as it is recommended or cited by Yuan Zhao, they are definitely very useful at critical times. And it turns out that his sense of trust has never been disappointed.

And the old ministers of the clan all looked at it coldly. Whether it is Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru, or the final army in front of him, these people are all heartfelt supporters of the emperor. And they are even more strict in their work, never favoritism, in the past, and they were entanglements with people in the royal family for the sake of interests, there was no less friction. And today, in order to maintain the authority of the emperor, it is indeed these people who stand up against it.

More than a dozen clan veterans stood together and looked at them coldly. Although they still don't know what the emperor wants to do, they have already made up their minds in their hearts, no matter what, now

Heaven must protect the King of Yan and the King of Guangling. This is their bottom line, and it is also an early prevention made to protect future interests.

However, they did not expect that the emperor, who was suppressed with infinite sorrow in his heart, had already made the only most persistent choice in this life.

"Zhongqing, I want to send an envoy from the imperial court to represent me to go out of the Yumen Pass to the Western Continent and take full authority to deal with all matters over there...... Can you take on this important task? ”

There was silence in the Hanyuan Palace, and the emperor's words were heard clearly. Many people can't help but be secretly surprised. There is no doubt that the Emperor has already made his own judgment on this matter. Since he wants to send the most iron-faced and selfless Captain Sili to deal with this matter, the consequences can be imagined.

"Minister, may I receive the decree!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the final army generously complied with the order. For the great cause of the Han Empire, although he knew that it would be difficult for Guanshan to go thousands of miles, he could not return to his heart like a rock. This is not only his historical mission, but also his unshirkable responsibility.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a sneer before he could wait for further authorization from the emperor.

"The Finale! What virtue can it be? Dare to be so arrogant. Is it possible to handle such a matter of importance? Hum! Don't say it's a mere lieutenant. It is Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru and even Yuan Zhao...... They don't dare to say that they are capable of dealing with the consummation! Yuan Zhao is in the Western Expeditionary Army, why doesn't he dare to do anything to the two kings? Don't you understand the relationship behind this? I'm afraid that even he doesn't dare to persecute the son of the first emperor too much, if something unspeakable happens because of this, then what the consequences are, no one can afford this responsibility! ”

The threatening words are particularly harsh. Obviously, although the goal is aimed at the final army, everyone can hear the meaning of the finger and scolding Huai.

Hearing the old ministers of the clan mention Yuan Zhao, many people couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts. That's what puzzled them. It stands to reason that with Yuan Zhao's great prestige, he is in charge of the army, and King Yan and King Guangling should not have such courage to do anything tantamount to rebellion. Reminiscent of the vague rumors I heard a few days ago, although most of them are speculation, there is no actual basis. But the heaviness of everyone's heart is self-evident.

The heart of the final army is not at peace. However, on such an occasion, he temporarily suppressed all kinds of emotions. Hearing the provocation from the old ministers of the clan, he raised his sword eyebrows, looked at the other party's momentum with contempt, and responded lightly.

"On talent and morality, I dare not compare with the sages. But there is only a loyal and patriotic heart, and the sun and the moon can be learned! In my eyes, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people! The laws of the Han Dynasty are magnificent, and under this, there are no exceptions! ”

"Shaft! What a big breath...... If you dare to undertake this order to go west, once the son of the first emperor is injured. Aren't you afraid of what happened to He's family after death? ”

"Hahaha...... Are you worried about your life? Now I can tell you, I hope you old people listen well. ”

In the face of a naked threat, the final army no longer hides its edge. A look of contempt appeared on his face, and he said loudly with his head held high.

"I once heard a phrase a long time ago. I'm sure all of you here have heard of it...... Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather! I've been since then

When I heard it, I always kept it in my heart, and I didn't dare to forget it. Who is born between heaven and earth, what do you do? It's just adhering to the heart, walking the road, for the righteousness, that's all. ”

His generous voice echoed in the Hanyuan Palace. Many bowed their heads, filled with guilt. The emperor couldn't help but be moved. He glanced back at the white-clad guards standing. The other party understood, stretched out his hand and handed over the sword of the Son of Heaven, Liu Ju put it on the table, and gently stroked the dragon head pattern on the hilt with his fingers, and his intention was extremely resolute.

"I finally entered the court as a young man and took charge of the Captain's Mansion for several years. Receive the king's deep favor and share in the glory of the empire. On the day he received the king's order, he had already forgotten about his life and death, so why should he worry about what happened after his death?! ”

"Good! I was not mistaken. ”

Emperor Liu Ju stood up with his sword in both hands and praised loudly. At the same time, he waved his hand to stop the old guys who were blowing their beards and glaring at them from continuing to entangle. He walked directly to the bottom of the golden stairs and stared at the eyes of the final army face to face, his gaze full of trust.

"Zhongqing, I personally gave this sword, fake the Son of Heaven, and from now on, I will leave Chang'an and go to the Western Continent...... No matter who you are, when it comes to crime and punishment, you should be based on the laws of the Han Dynasty, and you can act cheaply with this sword! ”

The dragon head sword of the Son of Heaven, which represents supreme power, is only three feet, but it is as heavy as a thousand pounds. The final army fell to the ground, and raised his hands above his head to take it.

"The minister must live up to his mission and do his best to assist the western expedition to be successfully completed as originally planned...... I hope that Your Majesty will take care of your body and wait for good news. Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Great Han! ”

The monarch and the minister are relative, and they have a lot of feelings. Emperor Liu Ju sighed slightly, and reached out to hand over a sealed letter. whispered.

"There are some cases...... It's all on this. The matter of the two kings is only one of them. I hope that after I go, I will find out his life and death ...... at any cost. ”

The final army was shocked. Even if he was very determined, the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble a little. Of course, he knew who the "he" in the emperor's mouth was. Is it really that serious?!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you really want to go your own way and put King Yan and King Guangling to death?"

The old ministers of the clan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they shouted loudly, no longer caring about the balance between the monarch and the minister.

"No one wants to put them to death. I have said that the laws of the Han Dynasty are the yardstick by which everything is measured...... Whether there is sin or no sin, everything has its own standard. ”

The Emperor turned back to his seat. He glanced at it, then continued.

"I have one more thing to announce. The queen is in the middle palace and has always liked the son of the eldest princess very much. I approved his request, and the queen mother has also agreed, from now on, Yuanfeng, the son of the eldest princess, will enter the queen's knees, and will be carefully taught by her, and the moral education will be ....... ”

The Son of Heaven exports, and he is full of words. Those who heard it all over the hall were shocked!

No one is stupid, and it is no longer obvious what such a decision means.

"How can this be true? Your Majesty, is this going to give and receive the country passed down by Emperor Gaozu privately? Although the ministers are dead, it is difficult to obey their fate! ”

The old ministers of the clan and a large number of stakeholders were all furious. The atmosphere of contention in Hanyuan Hall has entered a white heat.
