After speaking, the emperor glanced at Murong Feng with a puzzled look on his face, waved his hand and did not explain, but casually picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, and then asked lightly: "Are you here to sue me about this matter?" ”

Murong Feng hurriedly lowered his head and returned: "The old minister still has something to report to His Majesty," Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one around, so he looked back and faced the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, on the occasion of the army's southern expedition, in order to avoid His Majesty's distraction, the old minister should not have talked about this matter, but"

After speaking, his eyes flashed, and he hesitated and didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at Murong Feng, his voice became a little interested, and said, "What is it that makes the imperial prime minister unable to open his mouth?" ”

Murong Feng smiled bitterly, raised his head, and said in a low voice: "I wonder if the emperor still remembers the county lord of Shunyang, Murong Yan?" ”

It seems to be a drop of hot water dripping into the depths of the winter snow, melting the ice that has been cold and incomparably cold throughout the winter.

For some reason, the teacup in the emperor's hand shook and tilted suddenly, and the tea spilled out, sprinkled on his hand, slowly dripped down, and gradually became a stream, flowing happily on the table.

The emperor, who has always been indifferent, is rarely stunned at this moment! Freeze! Stunned!

It's a name engraved in the depths of my heart, as if just hearing it makes people feel a little warm.

It is a good medicine to dispel loneliness, but it has long been locked in the shackles of the heart, and can only be released in the dead of night, when you are about to fall asleep, with the joyful times that have come all the way from childhood, to sleep.

After a long time, the stiffness on the emperor's face slowly disappeared, as if he realized his gaffe, he coughed lightly, changed back to an indifferent look on his face, then took a deep breath, put the teacup away, faced Murong Feng, slowly spoke, and asked, "Where is she now?" ”

Murong Feng was shocked in his heart, and lowered his head and said: "Just a few days ago, the Zhongliang City Guard found that Murong Yan, the county lord of Shunyang, appeared in Zhongliang City, and then took the county lord to live in the mansion, and delivered the news to the old minister with a fast horse of thousands of miles. ”

The emperor's eyes showed eagerness, and even his deliberately calm tone had a little wave, he stood up, walked to the table, and paced back and forth a few steps before turning to look at Murong Feng and said, "If you start from here and ride a thousand-mile fast horse, can you reach Zhongliang in one day?" ”

Murong Feng was taken aback, and immediately said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this, old minister."

Before the words fell, he saw a slight impatience on the emperor's face, waved his hand to interrupt the prime minister's words, and said, "Answer me!" ”

Before Murong Feng could speak, he suddenly heard a soft voice from outside the barracks, saying, "Your Majesty, I heard you lose your temper again, and you will be punished." ”

The emperor frowned at first, but after he was slightly stunned, he felt that this voice sounded very familiar, like the "sound of heaven" that had long been buried in the depths of his memory and deliberately avoided forgetting.

The laughter of his childhood playmate suddenly sounded in his ears, and the unforgettable loneliness before once again hit his whole body.

It was the emperor's unique pathos, he clenched his fists, but he had nowhere to exert his strength, until the voice in his ears sounded again: "Your Majesty, I am Murong Yan, can I go in?" ”

I'm Murong Yan!

On a certain day, she was also in front of her door, speaking like this.

Prince, I'm Murong Yan, can I go in?

His fist instantly loosened, then he took a deep breath and turned to Murong Feng and nodded.

Murong Feng came to his senses, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it after all, and after answering, he turned around and walked to the door and opened the camp gate.

It was as if everything in the world was hidden, and only a beautiful woman remained, standing outside the tent, although her face was full of exhaustion, but there was a touching joy in her gentle eyes.

Like a child looking at his favorite toy, he is mesmerized.

I don't know when it started, the sky outside the tent was already clear, and the wind and sand had long stopped blowing, as if waiting for her arrival.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Dan!"

Murong Yan, who was still happy just now, rushed forward after waiting to open the door and complained about the pain of parting, when she saw the emperor after a long journey, for some reason a sour feeling suddenly welled up in her heart, as if she had been wronged, and tears slipped down from the corners of her eyes uncontrollably.

His voice choked and he couldn't speak anymore.

"Yan'er!" Although he had been prepared in his heart, the emperor still said with a surprised face, he was just about to step forward to greet him, but suddenly found that a handsome young man was standing behind Murong Yan, looking at him indifferently.

A murderous aura flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then he stood still.

Hearing the emperor call him, Fang Yan hurriedly shook his fat body and came out, saluted the emperor and said respectfully: "The minister is here!" ”

The emperor nodded, turned his head, pointed to the letter in Ouyang Yunzhong's hand, and said in the other dialect: "Fang Yan, you come to sue Prime Minister Sù, this letter is true or false." ”

Fang Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement, turned to face the prime minister, and said respectfully: "Lord Prime Minister, this letter was brought back by the villain himself, and he didn't dare to deceive at all, if he didn't believe it, the prime minister could interrogate him at will." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and waited for the prime minister to speak.

Ouyang Yunzhong's eyes flashed after hearing this, and it took a while before he sneered, but he ignored the dialect, and stepped forward to the emperor and said:

"The emperor clearly observed that even if Ouyang He really defected to the enemy state, it was just that the old minister had no way to discipline him, so he went astray, and from today on, the old minister broke off the father-son relationship with him! If you meet him again in the future, the old minister will definitely stab this disloyal and unfilial rebel, but the emperor, this matter has nothing to do with the western expedition to the Han Kingdom! ”

Before the emperor could speak, he saw He Yaochen on the side come forward and said coldly to the prime minister:

"Prime Minister, the righteous act of destroying relatives is admirable, but having said that, according to my Dashu laws, even if the relationship is severed, my army marches westward, and the prime minister should avoid it, and he should not be the commander of the three armies."

Ouyang Yunzhong clenched his fists after hearing this, and after his eyes swept back and forth a few times on He Yaochen and Fang Yan, he snorted coldly, his eyes turned back to the emperor, and his voice began to say a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, if there is chaos today, Wei Yan fights, this is a rare opportunity, break the army of the enemy country, drive the emperor of the enemy country, and become a thousand years of hegemony in one fell swoop, emperor!" The old minister has the audacity to implore you to give the order to send troops! ”

The emperor frowned, and said, "Didn't I say just now, the matter of sending troops will be discussed later, and now is not the time." ”

After Ouyang Yunzhong heard this, his hands clenched into fists, and at the same time, he suddenly laughed, and after laughing for a while, his demeanor regained his previous calmness, took a step back, nodded, and said lightly: "Okay, I know." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Yaochen on the side said angrily: "Ouyang Yunzhong, what is your attitude towards the emperor!" This is a great crime of deception, and it deserves to be a capital crime! ”

Ouyang Yunzhong didn't refute, he glanced at him lazily, but when he withdrew his gaze, he glanced at Fang Yan, who had been standing there quietly with his head down, and a murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

The emperor glanced at the two of them, and then looked at the prime minister, but he was not angry, he just waved his hand and said to Ouyang Yunzhong: "Is there anything else with the prime minister?" ”

Ouyang Yunzhong arched his hand and replied: "The old minister has nothing else to do. ”

When the emperor heard this, he stood up, waved his hand to everyone, and said, "In that case, you all go back, and as for the dispatch of troops, I will consider it and give you an answer when the time comes." ”

When they heard this, they bowed their heads and withdrew.

An hour later, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Ouyang Yunzhong had just returned to the mansion, and before he could sit down, he called a subordinate who was often called, ordering him to immediately call Ouyang Wenliang, the general of the auxiliary state, and Ouyang Shun, the general of the Western Expedition, to the mansion.

The subordinate nodded knowingly, and invited the two of them to go from the back door.

It didn't take long for the two of them to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion through the side door and arrive at the conference hall under the leadership of their subordinates.

Ouyang Yunzhong waved his hand back and asked the two to sit down, and after the two of them sat down, Ouyang Yunzhong looked solemn and said: "Two, the old man feels that the emperor is getting older and more restless, looking at his appearance, it seems that he suddenly has a basis, and he is not worried about the old man, what do you say?" ”

Ouyang Wenliang pondered for a while and then spoke: "Could it be related to the traitor of Fang Yan?" ”

Ouyang Yunzhong's eyes flashed after hearing this, his face showed murderous aura, and he said coldly: "Fang Yan that traitor, the old man really misunderstood him, I didn't expect him to betray me at this time and take refuge in the emperor," Speaking of this, he paused, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely:

"Don't fall into the hands of the old man when the time comes, otherwise the old man will let you die without a place to be buried!"

Ouyang Shun on the side heard this sentence and said in surprise: "Dialect? That fat man betrayed you and took refuge with the emperor? ”

Ouyang Yunzhong nodded and replied, "Not bad." ”

Ouyang Shun was taken aback, subconsciously stood up, and said to the prime minister: "Didn't the patriarch arrange for the patriarch to protect him by He'er's side?" You say that the tongue has betrayed, what about the crane! ”

Ouyang Wenliang's gaze also suddenly fell on the prime minister, he knew the importance of this issue.

Ouyang Yunzhong waved his hand and replied: "I have already sent someone to Luojing to inquire about the news, but don't worry, He'er will be fine, after all, in Luojing City, there is more than one dialect by his side." Speaking of this, he shook his head and said to the two: "I called you this time to discuss important matters, once this matter is successful, my Ouyang family will replace the Mu family in Shu and become the Great Shu royal family, and once the army is defeated, the Ouyang family will be in a state of collapse, and there is even a risk of dying the clan." ”

Both of them had a change in their faces.

After a long silence, Ouyang Wenliang said astringently: "Could it be that the patriarch wants to send troops?" ”

Ouyang Yunzhong nodded, stood up, and said to the two: "Yes, as long as you lend the matter of the expedition and grasp the military power in your hands, then this country will be my Ouyang family sooner or later!" ”
