Chapter 182: Yan Shuai escaped
In the matter of Emperor Suzheng being forced to live in the palace of Prince Long Xingrong, the major families that played a key role in the siege of the imperial city actually did not have many people left in the capital at all, and this incident also surprised the heads of the various families, and they asked each other whose family was forcing the palace to rebel in their own name. Some smart people understood that they were being represented, so they absconded from the capital in disguise and took refuge without asking. Those who still wanted to plead a few sentences of the family head were arrested by the Snow Wolf Guard and tortured to extract a confession by the Snow Wolf Guard within a day.
This is indeed a man sitting at home, and woe comes from heaven. These heads of the house called the heavens and the earth to be unspiritual. One by one, they couldn't stand the torture and tortured into tricks, and pointed the culprit at Yan Chengyu according to the meaning of Snow Wolf Wei.
Yan Chengyu has not been able to take a step out of the palace since he was imprisoned, and a few days ago, Long Rongyue and Yan Jiaorao's mother and daughter were forcibly taken away and lived in the palace. Now there are only two people left in this mansion, Yan Chengyu and Yan Jiu's master and servant. It was very lively outside the gate of Yanfu, and the two thousand forbidden troops blocked the water around Yanfu. When the people nearby passed by, they didn't even dare to look at Yanfu.
As soon as it was dark on this day, a team of snow wolf guards came to the gate of the Duke of Qin. The first person showed his waist card to the forbidden army at the door, then opened the door and walked in. The housekeeper Yan Jiu was about to stop it, but the leader held a token in his hand and said sharply: "I am ordered to arrest the rebel Yan Chengyu, and anyone who dares to stop it is guilty of the same crime." ”
"Yan Jiu retreated."
Yan Chengyu walked up to the man neatly dressed and said, "The old man is Yan Chengyu, you have the will of God when you come to arrest me." ”
"The holy decree is in the car, don't be wordy and follow me."
"Master~~~~."
Yan Jiu knelt on the ground and hugged Yan Chengyu's legs without letting go, the leader cut Yan Jiu's neck with a palm, and Yan Jiu fell to the ground without saying a word. Yan Chengyu was furious and punched the man in the chest, the man was like a monkey moving flexibly, he dodged to dodge Yan Chengyu's attack and said hello, and more than a dozen snow wolf guards rushed over and threw down a fishing net. Yan Chengyu couldn't avoid being covered in the net, and the snow wolf guard rushed up, tied Yan Chengyu and lifted him up and stuffed him into the carriage at the door. The leader carried Yan Jiu, who was unconscious on the ground, out and stuffed him into the car. The carriage, covered in black cloth, quickly turned around and disappeared into the night in a few moments.
The captain guarding the door wiped away his tears and said, "Yan Shuai is in a catastrophe this time, but it's a pity that I don't have that much ability to save him, alas." ”
The surrounding soldiers of the forbidden army also lowered their heads and remained silent, how could it not be chilling for the Great Yan Army God to end up so miserably. They silently closed the door of the mansion, waiting for their boss to send someone to transfer them back.
The bump of the carriage woke Yan Jiu up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Yan Chengyu was tied and lying on the side like a zongzi, Yan Jiu immediately got up and hurriedly untied the rope on Yan Chengyu's body and helped him sit up.
"Master, I'm afraid it's hard to escape this time, and that dog emperor is afraid that he's going to kill us."
Yan Chengyu smiled slightly and said, "Nine, you are very familiar with Fengtian City, guess where we are going?" ”
"Master, where else can I go but the prison? Alas, it would be nice if the young master was here. Hey? No, it should have arrived at this speed, why not stop. The road is so bumpy, and there seems to be a dog barking, is it out of the capital? ”
"That's a good guess, you'll find out in a moment."
After a long time, the carriage stopped and the doors were opened. Yan Chengyu and Yan Jiu got out of the car together and looked around, only to find themselves standing in front of a village house. In the dark night, I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, I only knew that there were many people guarding around in the dark, the gate of the village had been opened, and a person stretched out his hands and grabbed Yan Chengyu and pulled him into the door.
When the three of them came to the back room, the man lit the oil lamp, and Yan Chengyu saw who the person in front of him was.
"Head of the family~~~~, Brother Jiu, the torrent is too late."
Torrent knelt in front of Yan Chengyu and sobbed in a low voice, Yan Chengyu was also tearful, and hurriedly helped Torrent up. Yan Jiuyi kicked on the lap of the torrent, and the torrent didn't dodge and took the kick so hard.
"Why didn't you bastard come earlier, Miss is now being taken into the palace, how to save, how to save!"
"Okay, Yan Jiu, it's no wonder that the incident happened suddenly. Besides, isn't there a way, don't worry that Rao'er and Langyue will be fine, let's go. ”
The torrent opened the secret passage of the mechanism, and the three masters and servants dodged into the secret passage, and the secret door returned to its original state.
The forbidden army in front of the Duke of Qin waited for a night and did not see anyone come to transfer them back, and when the morning sun rose, they saw a large group of people coming to the gate of the Duke of Qin. First, a eunuch rode on a horse and said sharply: "Your Majesty has a will, Yan Chengyu is suspected of rebellion, and he should be beheaded according to the law." Our family was ordered to raid the house, and the traitor Yan Chengyu was escorted to the prison for trial, and the door was opened quickly. ”
"This father-in-law, didn't he already arrest Yan Chengyu on the evening of the last day? Below, there are documents of the time and waist plates as evidence. ”
"What? Impossible, the eldest princess begged all night last night, and His Majesty didn't agree. This morning, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince give a decree, saying that it was the last thing to do before the Zen throne. Why did someone take Yan Chengyu away last night? Who did it? ”
"Snow Wolf Guard, father-in-law, please look at the waist card."
"These boys want to steal credit from our family, and our family wants to sue in front of His Majesty. Raid your house at once, and we will go back and tell Your Majesty. ”
The mansion of the Qin State was raided, and the news of Yan Chengyu's whereabouts spread throughout the capital in only half a day. Emperor Suzheng was furious and ordered to block the main roads in various places, and Dasuo Yan Chengyu. When the people heard this, they were all disheartened and moved their families away.
Emperor Su Zheng originally wanted to personally send Yan Chengyu to his death before abdicating, lest Long Xingrong fall into the notoriety of killing important ministers as soon as he ascended the throne, but he didn't expect Yan Chengyu to run away, which made Emperor Su Zheng angry and angry. As soon as he gave the order, the heads of the families who were detained in the heavenly prison were beheaded regardless of whether they were indiscriminately or not. Every day in the city of Mukden there is a constant wail, and the heads of people are rolling. The people hid in their homes and did not dare to come out, so they took advantage of this opportunity to quietly leave Mukden and flee to the northwest. Originally, because of the joy brought by the Zen ceremony, it was also washed away without a trace by this bloody atmosphere.
Half a month later, the solemn and solemn Zen throne ceremony was held in the Dayan Zhong Soul Temple, and Emperor Suzheng personally brought the emperor's crown to Long Xingrong and handed over the jade seal to Long Xingrong. Long Xingrong officially ascended the throne as the emperor, changed the yuan and prospered, and the 29th year of Suzheng became the first year of prosperity.
After the abdication, Emperor Suzheng was honored by Long Xingrong as the Emperor Taishang, and Empress Li Fanghua was honored as the Empress Dowager. At the suggestion of Li Ke and others, Emperor Xingsheng Long Xingrong aimed to select a famous lady as a concubine in the Great Yan family.
The new emperor ascended the throne and sent envoys from various countries to observe the ceremony, including the envoys of Manggul and the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. When the envoy of Manggul met with Long Xingrong, he specially explained to Long Xingrong that Anxi City was besieged by the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and Manggul sent troops to rescue, and finally was forced to have no choice but to annex Anxi City to Manggul. Long Xingrong sneered a few times after hearing this, and then had no other words. The Manggul envoy frowned and stepped aside.
In addition to the envoys of the Celestial Wolf Khanate, the high priest and minister of state, Mulun, also came to Mukden. Mu Lun congratulated Long Xingrong with a spring breeze on his face, and also invited Long Xingrong to participate in the founding ceremony of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate next year. Long Xingrong looked at it with a perfunctory expressionless face, saying that the state affairs were busy, but he would definitely send an envoy when the time came.
The envoys of various countries presented their state gifts one after another, but when the officials of the Ministry of Rites checked the list, they found that none of the southern subject countries had arrived, which had never happened before. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu informed Emperor Xingsheng of this matter, and Long Xingrong also felt strange, and asked the envoys of several subject countries to inquire, and the envoys all said that the southern countries, led by the White Elephant State, formed a coalition army and were fighting with the Jiangnan rebels, and it was estimated that the war was stalemate and there was no time to come to the Hajj.
Long Xingrong snorted coldly, making the envoys of those countries unable to come and go at a loss. It was Li Ke's gentle words of comfort that avoided embarrassment. The enthronement ceremony of Emperor Xingsheng came to an end in this atmosphere.
In the palace of the Emperor Long Yanhe, Long Langyue begged her brother to help her find Yan Chengyu, and asked her brother to lift the sentence against Yan Chengyu. Long Yansi bowed his head and remained silent, ignoring his sister's request. Eleven-year-old Yan Jiaorao's family has changed dramatically, and she has suddenly become trembling, losing her former liveliness and cleverness, and she will shrink behind her mother like a frightened rabbit, and she doesn't even dare to wave to her.
Long Xingrong, who came to greet him, felt uncomfortable when he saw this scene, and after greeting him, he took his aunt and cousin to his palace.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will deal with this matter slowly, I have already sent someone to find my uncle, and when I find it, I will protect it properly, aunt rest assured." As for Rao'er's sister, I'll make plans when she's older. ”
"Rong'er, my aunt usually loves you the most, you must help your aunt."
Long Xingrong couldn't stop nodding to comfort the two of them, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart. He secretly blamed the Emperor Taishang for doing this too much and doing things in an orderly manner. keeps saying that he wants to keep himself from being infamous, but now his family is not at peace. Today's Hajj, the envoy of Manggul, a powerful country, clearly explained the situation, and kept saying that as long as Dayan returned to the grassland, Anxi would be returned to Dayan. In Long Xingrong's view, this is showing off and ironic.
Compared with Manggul, the Heavenly Wolf Khanate made Long Xingrong feel more comfortable, and Mu Lun's respectful and courteous manners, as well as rich gifts, made Long Xingrong unconsciously have a good impression of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. What's more important is that Su Meiduo, the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, is a beautiful and wise girl, which makes Long Xingrong's heart throb a little. He didn't know how to express it, since the last time Su Meiduo came to Mukden, that beautiful face had been deeply imprinted in Long Xingrong's mind, and he couldn't erase it.
Long Xingrong comforted Long Rongyue, and after finally making Yan Jiaorao laugh, he ordered someone to send them back to the palace. Long Xingrong couldn't sleep peacefully, the joy of ascending the throne for the first time, the worry about the declining power of Dayan, and the troubles caused by the intricacies of the government flashed in his mind one after another. Long Xingrong, who really couldn't sleep, walked out of the dormitory and looked at Haoyue in contemplation.
"Big brother, where are you, I really need you now."
In the Cangshan Houfu of Lihuafang, gentle and gentle listened carefully to the report of the cow lying in the trough.
"Madam, Yan Shuai has arrived in Liulin Mansion and lives in Mr. Wei Qichang's old man's house, everything is fine. The head of the house asked Madame, are you sure that the eldest princess and Miss Jiaorao will be taken out? ”
"It's too early to do it now. The Snow Wolf Guard is very strict with the eldest princess's mother and daughter, if I come forward and you cooperate, I can still do it, but in this case, I can't stay in the capital. ”
"The head of the family means to let the lady leave the capital as soon as possible, and the eldest lady also means the same. The eldest lady said that Mrs. Ulanya's situation must not happen again. ”
The corners of Wen Wen'er's mouth floated into a smile, which was a happy smile after being cared for.
"I've read my husband's letter, and I know you're all worried. But now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, it is the time to make a difference, and it is also a good opportunity for my husband to show his ambitions, and it is also a good time for reconciliation between their brothers, and I cannot leave at this time. In this way, we will wait until the monitoring of the Snow Wolf Guard is relaxed, and when His Majesty recalls the husband. ”
"It's up to Madame to decide."
Long Xingrong, who had not slept all night, dragged his tired body to Taihe Palace, he didn't dare to slack off, he knew that as long as he indulged for a while, the government would be piled up, so he endured the sleepiness and went to the court. Peach Blossom has now replaced Gao Ping's position as the chief eunuch and ********, of course, when Long Xingrong has a queen, Peach Blossom still has to hand over the power to take charge of the harem to the queen.
"Your Majesty, you have already arrived at Taihe Palace."
Peach Blossom reminded Emperor Xingsheng softly that in just such a way, Emperor Xingsheng had fallen asleep lying on the imperial chariot.
Long Xingrong ascended to the throne with a strong spirit, but he didn't expect that the first thing today would make him very unhappy. Since the trade route to Manggul is now controlled by the Celestial Wolf Khanate, Mulun asks to start a tripartite negotiation with Dayan and Manggul to prepare for a trade tax on the caravans of Dayan and Mangul. As soon as Mullen's proposal came out, Manggul's envoys immediately objected. In the past, the trade between Manggul and Dayan was tax-free, and today the Wolf Khanate wants to impose a trade tax on the two countries, which Manggul cannot tolerate.
The envoys of Manggul and Mulun quarreled in front of Emperor Xingsheng, and Manggul's side insisted on tax exemption, and the Celestial Wolf Khanate must be taxed in one bite, otherwise they would not want to pass through the land of the Celestial Wolf Khanate. The two sides quarreled, and Emperor Xingsheng was at a loss. At this time, Li Ke came out and said a word, so that Mullen and the envoy of Manggul immediately stopped arguing. (To be continued.) )
