Hearing the emperor's sigh, Wan Yancai and Li Feng also sighed.

After a moment of silence, Wan Yan, the highest-ranking minister, turned his head to look at Yulong Sect, the head of the Yulong family, who had been silent since he entered the door, and said with a smile: "Yulong Patriarch, according to what you said before, calculate the time, and now Liu Xiu, the king of the Han Kingdom, should have returned to Dongping City of the Wei Kingdom by now, right?" ”

Yulong Zong, who had been hanging his head silently, trembled his head and slowly raised his head.

The illustrious title of "patriarch" was shouted by the patriarch of the first family of the empire, and there was a thrilling feeling in his ears, and it seemed that the inadvertent Yulong Sect noticed that the emperor's brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes narrowed, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he turned his head to Wan Yan before saluting: "Yes, my lord!" He deliberately accentuated the word "adult" and continued:

"According to the secret agent's report, Liu Xiu had already left from Pingyan to Dongping, the capital of Wei, seven days ago, and he should have arrived in Dongping City now."

Wan Yancai didn't seem to notice the change in Yulong Zong's tone, and when he heard this, a rare smile appeared on his face, and he patted Yulong Zong's shoulder and said:

"The Yulong patriarch has always done things without leakage, which is reassuring! Now that the affairs of Yanwei and Wei are under the control of the patriarch, in the future, they will be able to leave the country and go north to settle the country, and the Yulong patriarch can be said to have made great contributions, and it is not in vain for the old man's desperate promotion! The patriarch did not live up to the old man's expectations of you, and the old man was very pleased. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's brows furrowed even tighter.

Yulong Zong smiled faintly and did not speak, but turned to salute the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to report." ”

The emperor said lightly: "Say it." ”

Yulongzong bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, we sent back the news from Luojing's eyes, saying that now the Han Empire has been completely divided, and the two princes Liu Zhao and Liu Rui, who were originally in the struggle for the throne, got rid of their detention and escaped in the 'Liu Qi Rebellion', and were supported by a group of old ministers, but Liu Ying, the princess of the Han Empire, played a great role in pacifying the 'Liu Qi Rebellion', and the important ministers of the court supported each other, and the three powers competed, Liu Zhao and Liu Rui could not compete with Liu Ying, and were expelled from Luojing, and now Liu Zhao fled to the east - the border of Han Wei, and Liu Rui went to the south, which was close to our departure from the country, and the two of them each supported their own troops, divided the land into the territory, and claimed that they were the legitimate heirs to the throne of the Han State. ”

The emperor smiled slightly after hearing this, and before he could speak, he heard Li Feng on the side sneer and said: "The Yulong patriarch is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the empire, not only worried about the affairs of Yanwei, but also knows everything that happened in the Luojing City of the Han Kingdom, which is admirable!" ”

Hearing this, Wan Yan said coldly: "Li Feng, what are you talking about!" The old man asked you first, do you know all the information that the Yulong Patriarch said just now? ”

Li Feng lowered his head and muttered: "My subordinates don't know ......" He didn't wait for Yan to finish his mouth before he continued: "Although his subordinates are at fault, they also have unavoidable hardships......

Wan Yan was just about to ask a question, when the emperor on the side suddenly said, "Oh? If Master Li has any troubles, speak up and let me hear it! ”

Li Feng's gaze swept over Wan Yancai's face, and he replied, "Your Majesty! Although the minister was nominally the chief of the affairs of the Han state, he had no real power in reality. ”

The emperor said lightly: "How can you say this?" ”

Li Feng said: "The dove occupies the magpie's nest. ”

Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes and glanced at the three of them, and each of them lowered their heads when their eyes touched him, and even Wan Yancai's always deep eyes did not dare to look at him calmly.

After a while, the emperor smiled slightly, walked to the chair and sat down, and said, "Does the dove occupy the magpie's nest?" He repeated in a low voice, glanced at the three people in front of him, and said lightly: "What does the secret minister mean, now that you have lost control of the situation in the Han Kingdom?" ”

Li Feng's body was shocked, and he said in a low voice: "The minister didn't mean this, he just ......"

The emperor didn't say anything when he saw him muttering for a long time, waved his hand, and was just about to speak, but before he could speak, he saw Wan Yan take a step forward and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, Lord Li has a lot of latitude and longitude in his chest, and he has both talent and virtue, and he is a rare talent in the empire, but after all, he has not been an official for a long time, and he has no foundation in the court, and he may be bullied, and it is unknown." ”

The emperor looked at Yan Cai and said, "'Bullied'? After Yan Cai, I don't think it was Li Feng who was bullied, but me! ”

After hearing this, Yan was shocked, his body took a few steps back, Huo Ran looked up, and saw Tuoba Zhan's eyes like a knife, looking directly at himself, as if he was about to see into the depths of his soul.

There was a dead silence in the room.

After a while, the three of them knelt down as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Tuoba Zhan looked at the three of them one by one again, and Li Feng's face had begun to turn pale in the emperor's gaze, regretting that he was too impulsive just now.

"The three of you are all my humerus ministers, Wanyan has been with me for decades, and I have said it to you many times," Tuoba Zhan's eyes were like knives, and although the seat was not high, from below, he saw that the emperor was high above and above exuding an unstoppable, breathtaking momentum, enveloping the entire room.

"Don't forget your identity, although I am old, I am not blind, my ears are not deaf, I can see my country clearly, you can do things with peace of mind as a courtier, and you must not have distracting thoughts or even plots against you." Speaking of this, he suddenly sneered and said coldly: "Hehe, it seems that some people think that I have connived at many of his wrong things, so they think that I am old and useless, so they dare not listen to me, and dare to hide from my ears and eyes and lay out the world!" Do you all think I'm dead? Do you think that you are going to change the dynasty after leaving the country? ”

"Bang!"

In a fit of rage, Tuoba smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.

Wan Yancai frowned, his head was buried deep in the ground, there was no sound, all three of them were prostrate on the ground, no one made a sound, only the sound of the cup slowly rolling on the ground echoed in the room.

Deathly silence.

The power of the emperor's wrath, even Yusi!

Tuoba Zhan closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, calming his emotions a little before opening his eyes again.

Of the three people who knelt down in the quiet room, only Yulongzong could calmly look at each other with the eyes that looked at the emperor.

"You," Tuoba Zhan's anger quickly receded like a tide, and his voice returned to a slightly lazy calm, "all stand up." ”

The three of them rose in response, looking at Wan Yancai and Li Feng who were bowing their heads, and the emperor sighed in his heart.

"Yulong Sect."

Yulongzong hurriedly responded: "The minister is here." ”

The emperor looked at Yan Cai and said to Yulong Sect: "I am a little lacking, so it is up to you to explain to Master Li why you are able to master the secret agents of the Han Kingdom." ”

Yulong Sect hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! After speaking, he turned to look at Li Feng and shouted, "Master Li." ”

Li Feng replied lightly: "I'm tired of the Yulong Clan... Adults bothered! ”

Yulong Sect said lightly: "Lord Li is polite, this is a matter within a certain point," he didn't wait for Li Feng to be polite, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "A certain heart is for the country, but I didn't know that the adult has such a big prejudice against a certain person." ”

Hearing this, Li Feng's face turned pale, but before he could speak, he listened to Yulongzong continue: "Fang today, chaos has appeared, all countries are in civil strife, this is the best time for me to leave the empire to occupy land in the north and reopen the country, and the barrier that my Northern Expedition army faces is the Northern Han State, and there is only one person in the Han Kingdom who can block my army and harm me in a good way, except for the emperor!" ”

Li Feng replied: "King Liu Xiu." ”

Yulongzong's red eyes turned and said lightly: "Yes, although Liu Xiu is on the border of the vassal country, far away from the Han court, but as far as I know, up and down the Han country, Liu Xiu's shadow is everywhere, I'm afraid that even this 'Liu Qi Rebellion', Liu Xiu can't stay out of it." ”

Hearing this, Li Feng sneered: "Lord Yulong said that he was joking, could it be that Liu Xiu deliberately caused internal turmoil in Han, but what good is this for him?" ”

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and said: "And as far as I know, the 'Liu Qi Rebellion' is a ploy of my country's princess Tuoba Yu, could it be that Lord Yulong means that Her Royal Highness the princess and Liu Xiu are secretly colluding?" ”

After saying that, he shook his head and laughed.

Yulongzong waited for him to finish laughing before he nodded, and said to Li Feng: "What Master Li said is right, this is why so-and-so wants to meddle in the affairs of the Han Kingdom." ”

Hearing this, Li Feng's face turned pale instantly, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the emperor, only to see that the emperor was expressionless, and his heart was even more frightened, and he wanted to speak, but his lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Wan Yancai on the side frowned, his face became gloomy, and said: "Yulong Sect, you dare to say this kind of thing, without evidence, are you not afraid of losing your head?" ”

Yulongzong nodded with a smile towards Wan Yancai, and said: "My lord, Tuoba Yu is the princess of the empire after all, so naturally she will not do anything to betray the country, and the matter of her and Liu Xiu's 'secret correspondence' was instructed by His Majesty," Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Wan Yancai with a smile, and said: "The matter of the princess and Liu Xiu's 'secret correspondence', the noble eldest son Wan Yanshuo should be very clear, if it is convenient, the adult can ask in private." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Wan Yan to speak, and continued: "When Lord Bao Ju was in charge of the affairs of Yan and Wei, His Majesty said that once the matter involves Liu Xiu, he has the right to 'act beyond the country', and Lord Wan Yan should remember this very clearly. ”

Wan Yan turned his head to look at the emperor, and saw that the emperor didn't mean to speak, so he laughed dryly and said: "Yes, the old man remembers, but having said that, Li Feng is in charge of the affairs of the Han Kingdom after all, and if you don't tell him anything, it will be too blind!" ”

Yulong Sect smiled slightly, did not answer, but changed his words and asked, "Then why didn't the Lord tell you, why did you send Yan Zhao, Murong Yan and Zhang Rui to Yan Kingdom?" The three of them took control of the Yan Kingdom Imperial Court with the help of Shangguan Yu, and they didn't know anything about such a big thing! ”

After speaking, he suddenly showed a sudden expression of realization on his face, and said: "I am mistaken, Murong Yan and Zhang Rui should have left the capital of Yan Kingdom, Broken Leaves, and now they should be in Dongping City." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "Lord Wanyan's hand is stretched long enough!" ”

Wanyan took a deep breath, and he felt the emperor's gaze piercing like a needle, but there was a smile on his face, and said: "Okay, good, good, I didn't expect that Lord Yulong would be able to learn so much information not long after taking over the affairs of Yanwei and the two countries, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that your Yulong Sect will put the entire Yanwei world in your chest and abdomen!" Although it is thousands of miles away, but it is strategizing, Lord Yulong is amazing, amazing! ”

Yulong Sect bowed his head slightly and said, "Don't dare!" ”

Wan Yan smiled for a while, then turned to look at the emperor, and asked thoughtlessly: "I don't know what your majesty thinks about this?" ”

There was a flash of coldness in the depths of the emperor's eyes, but the emotions on his face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he said lightly: "Okay, the three Aiqing are all my humerus ministers, I don't want to see you quarrel again, so let's do it, in order to avoid you from fighting again, I will rearrange the affairs of various countries, and the three of them must work together to help each other, I don't know what the three Aiqing want?" ”
