Chapter 170: Yan Que Guan Fan

Chu Shenxia picked up the wooden box, put it back on the table, and observed it carefully, Liu Yan said without any empathy: "Don't look at it, just this broken box, it's really hateful that Yi An is playing tricks on us like this." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Let's click", Chu Shenxia broke off a wooden board, Liu Yan couldn't help but look at the wooden box, it turned out that this wooden box actually had a mezzanine, and a few pieces of paper were placed under the mezzanine.

"Your Highness." Chu Shenxia handed the paper in the wooden box to Liu Yan's hand, and carefully checked other places, but Liu Yan looked at it intently, because he was so excited that he could hardly read these words into his head, he just looked at them repeatedly.

With another "click", Liu Yan looked at the wooden box again, but heard Chu Shenxia laugh and said: "There is no Your Highness, only those few pieces of paper, but such a large wooden box is used, presumably to cover people's eyes." ”

"I think it's just to trick us," Liu Yan saw that he couldn't calm down, so he handed the paper in his hand to Chu Shenxia, and said casually, "You can see it first." ”

Chu Shenxia took it, read it carefully, and said while reading: "These ...... It is a letter between Liu Yu and the general of Qi State, Yi Yuan, which roughly means...... That is to say, the soldiers brought by Wei Shuming this time are his own people, so let Yi Yuan not clash head-on, pretend to force them to the riverside, and make a show. also told him that the striker must install his own people, so as not to leak the news when he gets it. ”

After reading the last one, Chu Shenxia gently put the letter paper on the table and sighed, Liu Yan hurriedly asked, but Chu Shenxia handed the letter to him and let him read it for himself.

After Liu Yan read it, he also sighed, and the last piece of paper was a handwritten letter from King Xianyun, which didn't have too many words on it, but just explained the whereabouts of the palace maid who pretended to pass on the holy decree.

Neither of them could have imagined that the palace maid in King Xianyun's mouth would now become a concubine, who was the biological mother of Liu Ziqi of Qi Guohou, Wu Yangshi.

The two were silent, and Chu Shenxia spoke first: "Your Highness, I don't think we need to rush to get all the evidence out, our mother doesn't need Wu Yangshi, so we can hide it first." ”

"I think so too, this letter can't prove that it was written by Liu Yu at all, even the names on it were constructed by him, and we can only bite Wei Shuming first." Liu Yan stuffed the letter paper into his chest and was about to walk out.

Chu Shenxia hurriedly stopped him and reminded: "Your Highness, it is already the time of curfew, the emperor is afraid that he has already fallen asleep, and it seems that it is not the right time to go to the palace at this time, right?" ”

"Then I will report this matter to my father tomorrow after the morning court." Liu Yan took out the letter paper from his arms again, took the brocade box on the side, and carefully put it in.

Chu Shenxia was puzzled: "Why didn't His Highness say it in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs when he was in the court?" ”

"This matter, after all, it will touch the scales of my father's rebellion, and I will be so disobedient to my father, if I talk about this in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, I'm afraid my father will be so angry that he vomits blood, right?" Liu Yan's eyes narrowed, and he was still a little worried when he thought of the emperor.

Chu Shenxia shook his head, walked around the table and walked in front of him and said, "Is the emperor still willing to see His Royal Highness now?" If this was the case, why didn't he even say a word about the discussion, and directly sent Pei Shudong to Qi State to pacify? ”

Seeing that Liu Yan was speechless, Chu Shenxia said again: "This is the abyss that the emperor must cross, His Royal Highness has been chasing Wei Shu for a long time, has he forgotten his original purpose?" Compared with catching the culprit, shouldn't the most important thing to do is to return the innocence of the king? His Royal Highness went to the emperor and accused Wei Shuming of the criminal evidence, if the emperor felt that he was wrong back then, and was unwilling to return the innocence of King Qin, he insisted on suppressing this matter? ”

Liu Yan didn't think about it so much, and when he heard him say this, he felt that things were in trouble, and he twisted his eyebrows and said: "But when I said this in front of everyone, didn't I give my father a step, didn't I force my father to make a fool of himself in front of hundreds of officials?" I'm afraid that the trust between me and my father will collapse all of a sudden, so why don't you give my father some time to think about it? This also made my father feel better. ”

Chu Shenxia stared at Liu Yan's gaze tightly, his lips opened and closed, but he still couldn't hold back, and said, "Your Highness...... I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but...... In this matter, I must tell Your Highness clearly and clearly that not everyone is willing to bear the consequences of their mistakes, especially those on the throne, who cannot allow themselves to be infamous for killing good ministers. If Your Highness insists on talking to the Emperor about this matter alone, I can guarantee that this matter will be lost forever. ”

After hearing this, Liu Yan closed his eyes tightly, his breath became heavier and heavier, he gritted his teeth hard, so that the green tendons on his forehead were revealed, Chu Shenxia saw him like this, and he couldn't bear it, and said softly: "Your Highness, think about it, no matter which choice, I have no right to interfere, I just want His Highness to understand, don't have a fluke mentality, I will retreat first." ”

The next day, Liu Yan was the first person to enter the main hall, and Liu Changgong, who arrived later, was very surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are scarlet, shouldn't he have slept all night?" No wonder it came so early, it's really unusual. ”

Chen Xian, who had just entered the hall, sneered and said, "It seems that today, there will be a good show, do you dare to make a bet with me?" ”

"The old man doesn't make such a useless bet with you." But Liu Changgong didn't buy his account, and when he saw a minister he knew entering the palace, he walked over there.

Liu Yan suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked to Chen Xian's side, and whispered: "The Zhu family is climbing up through the East Palace, no matter what I say for a while, you must echo me." ”

Chen Xian was just joking, but when he heard what he said, he felt that the matter seemed to be a little serious, but he didn't refuse, but replied softly: "You should do your best to help." ”

Liu Changgong, who was in the distance, saw the two of them muttering, and wanted to come over and listen, but unfortunately when they came over, the two had already separated.

The emperor suddenly appeared at this time, and all the ministers were silent, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Holy Ann." ”

"Your Majesty, there is news from the Qi country, General Pingnan bravely sent troops and captured those traitors, after General Pei heard the news, he sent someone to Jiankang and asked if he wanted to continue to lead troops to the Qi country?" Wei Shuming was the first to come out.

The emperor was very happy after hearing this, and laughed a few times and said: "This Zhu Yun is really not simple, it is really a wise choice for me to send him to guard the Qi country, I want to reward and reward, call Pei Shudong back, I believe in Zhu Yun." ”

"Yes." Wei Shuming replied loudly and slowly retreated into the queue, but the afterglow was on Liu Yan.

Not only did Wei Shuming stare at Liu Yan's back, but Chen Xian and Liu Changgong also looked at him firmly, and they felt strange when they saw that he had not moved for a long time.

The emperor's eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and when he saw Liu Yan's somewhat haggard face, he regretted a little in his heart, he deliberately neglected him in the past few days, this kid has a stubborn temper, could it be that he is still angry?

"Zishun, last time...... You have done a lot of work in disaster relief, and I want to reward you for a long time, you say, what do you want? ”

When he heard the emperor call his name, Liu Yan was shocked, and reacted, before bowing his head and saluting back: "Erchen...... This is what it should be, to do things for the people, to do one's duty, and not to need any reward. ”

Liu Yan was nervous in his heart, and his words were upside down, the emperor frowned slightly, and said with concern: "What's wrong with your eyes?" You shouldn't be so desperate in dealing with official documents, take care of your body, and go back to find an imperial doctor. ”

"Erchen ......" Liu Yan took a deep breath, only said the two words Erchen but couldn't go on, the emperor looked at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The ministers behind Liu Yan also felt strange, and they all cast strange eyes, only Chen Xian looked at the ground steadily, holding his breath and waiting for Liu Yan to spit out the words in his chest.

Liu Yan closed his eyes tightly, and opened them in an instant, and Fang Cai's nervousness and uneasiness all roared out in this bright voice, "Father! Erchen has something to play! ”

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, Liu Yan said loudly in the midst of the discussion of the ministers: "What I want to say is a tragic incident more than ten years ago, Yanqueguan. ”

It was as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar all of a sudden, and those officials who knew and did not know about it exploded one after another, and the voices of discussion were endless.

"I have two letters here, which are correspondence between the general of Qi and my people in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the letters clearly state that these two people are in cahoots and pretend to start a war, but in fact they quietly transferred more than 20,000 soldiers elsewhere and cultivated them secretly, only for his daily use." Liu Yan said as he took out the letter from his cuff and handed it to Gonggong Chen, who was walking towards him.

Gonggong Chen took the letter and ran towards the emperor, handing the letter to the emperor, but the emperor did not take it, but looked at Liu Yan past Gonggong Chen, his eyes were dim, and people could not see his inner thoughts.

Liu Yan's performance today seemed to be just the tragedy of Yanque Pass, but the emperor knew that he would never make such a move just for Wei Shuming.

Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, everyone gradually fell silent, and the atmosphere that had quieted down for a moment seemed to make people fall into a pile of cotton, and they couldn't breathe no matter what, and it was very uncomfortable.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor suddenly looked at Wei Shuming, who was standing straight, and asked, "Wei Shuming, as the commander of the year, what do you have to say?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Wei Shuming's body, and in everyone's eyes, Wei Shuming did not have a trace of panic, and said calmly: "Minister...... Nothing to say......"

If Liu Yan's words were just a boulder falling into the lake and causing a wave, Wei Shuming's words were undoubtedly a high mountain that crashed into the lake without the slightest warning.

It can't make any splashes, it can't make any waves, but it just fills up a lake.
