Chapter 21 The Palace Bans Hundred Officials
"I know, you blame me! Perhaps, you won't forgive me in this life!" Ye Gucheng sniffed and said softly: "I admit that I liked you because you were like Ji Xiu'er, and I loved Wu and Wu, but I am not an idiot, I know better than anyone who I like! What I love now, my wife, her name is Li Yueli, she is not called Xuanyuan Xiu!"
"You think you're just a substitute, but you're not! In my heart, your joys, sorrows, and sorrows are so distinct, and your taste is so familiar! These are different from Xiu'er! I admit that I'm very selfish, in my heart, there will always be a place that belongs to Xiu'er, and even you can't erase this position!"
The mist condensed in Li Yueli's eyes finally turned into pearls and dripped down.
"I also know that in your heart, I am murderous, ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals! I can even say that I have no humanity! A demon in human skin! If I have a choice, I don't want to be like this! Unfortunately, I don't have a choice!" Ye Gucheng's eyes flashed with pain.
I can't be a competent husband, but I want to be a competent father, I don't want our son to have blood on his hands, I just want him to be a benevolent king in the eyes of the world, and he can rule the kingdom in peace and protect you, so I can only do it! Even if the world scolds, it's just me Ye Gucheng!"
Li Yueli didn't know why, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, and her eyes were staring at Ye Gucheng tightly, as if she wanted to see something from it.
Ye Gucheng subconsciously staggered his gaze and said softly: "I know, you won't believe me anymore! It's just that I don't want to have regrets! Okay! You can rest!"
Li Yueli looked at the back that was gradually moving away, the uneasiness in her heart was even stronger, she couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and hugged her, choked up and said: "Husband, don't go! Yueli is wrong! Yueli believes in her husband!"
Ye Gucheng looked at the jade hand hugging his chest in a daze, his eyes became redder and redder, and the coldness in his heart warmed up in an all-round way.
Night, quiet!
On the soft couch, the two figures blended with each other, turning the clouds and rain.
Li Yueli rubbed her warm heart with satisfaction, raised her head slightly, looked at a pair of eyes as deep as a starry night, thought about it, and said softly: "Does the husband have something to hide from Yueli?"
Ye Gucheng stiffened slightly, and said with a forced smile: "No, I have said everything that my husband should say!"
"Then why did you just say you didn't want to leave regrets?" Li Yueli's eyes were scrutinizing, as if she wanted to see something from them.
"If the lady has not forgiven me, wouldn't it be a pity for the husband!" Ye Gucheng looked away unnaturally.
"Is it really just like this?" Li Yueli was skeptical.
"Of course!" Ye Gucheng stretched his waist, hugged Li Yueli and said, "Lady, it's late at night!
Only then did Li Yueli find that Ye Gucheng looked tired, and while she was distressed, she stopped talking.
The morning sun shines brightly, and everything recovers!
The royal capital is full of people, and a new day has begun again!
Eiyue Pavilion.
Li Yueli stared at Li Yue'er solemnly and said, "Yue'er, do you remember your sister's words?"
Li Yue'er nodded heavily and said, "Yue'er remembers! But, what should my brother-in-law do if he finds out about me?"
"Don't worry, as long as Yue'er doesn't say anything, your brother-in-law won't find out, and as for the escort team, they will never dare to say it. ”
"But, sister, if there is anything you can't ask your brother-in-law directly, why do you want to spy on him?" Li Yue'er couldn't figure it out.
"Nonsense, how can it be called surveillance, that is called protection!" Li Yueli glared angrily, and then, she smiled bitterly: "Sister always has a bad premonition, and if she doesn't figure it out, she is always uneasy in her heart." ”
"Oh!" Li Yue'er nodded as if she didn't understand.
When Ye Gucheng woke up, it was already afternoon! This was the most comfortable sleep he had ever slept in a while!
Surrounded by a faint fragrance, soft couch and mattress, quiet and quiet!
This kind of life is what he pursues and desires, and he will never allow anyone to destroy it, and the murderous aura in his eyes becomes more fierce as he sits up.
In the bustling streets, groups of soldiers marched rapidly, and although the people who dodged knew that it was for military exercises, their eyes still showed nervousness.
In the teahouse, the young man slowly retracted his gaze, took a sip of the cup, and said indifferently: "Is there a way to send the news?"
"Can't!" the attendant whispered: "The two cities in the northwest are now allowed to enter and leave, and entering the city still needs to be strictly checked. ”
"Carrier pigeons can't fly?"
"Yes!" the attendant said, "The guards on the city wall are all tightly controlled by archers, and they dare not risk exposure. ”
The young man slowly put down the cup and chuckled, "Interesting!"
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
"Everything that should be done is done! The rest is left to fate! I hope Tuoba will never disappoint the third prince!" the young man slowly got up and left.
Night.
A car drove out of the minister's palace, and all the cars drove to only one destination, the palace!
On the main hall, the lights are bright, the gold is brilliant, and the most conspicuous thing is the soft couches side by side on both sides, of course, why these soft couches are here, no one can tell.
The courtiers sat silently with their families, and with the wine and pastries on the table, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and many of the courtiers talked happily, of course, some kept their hearts on their minds.
"Xiangguo has arrived!"
The ministers looked sideways, Zhang Yi stepped into the hall expressionlessly, stepped into the main seat, and then sat down slowly.
The ministers looked at each other.
"What does Xiangguo mean by this? Isn't it the commander who is holding the banquet today?" It was a military general who spoke, his eyes flashed with anger, in his opinion, Zhang Yi's move, regardless of dignity and inferiority, the main position, how could he sit in a mere Xiangguo.
Zhang Yi smiled indifferently and said slowly: "The commander has other important matters to deal with, and he specially appointed Zhang Yi to preside over the banquet." ”
Even so, the ministers and Xiangguo told the same that the old father in the house was seriously ill and really tasteless, so he asked to leave the table and return to the house to take care of the old father. As soon as Wen Chen finished speaking, he wanted to retreat with his family.
Zhang Yi said slowly: "Zhao Neishi doesn't need to be in a hurry, Zhang Yi has ordered someone to take your father back to the palace to recuperate, and you can enjoy the banquet with peace of mind." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience changed, and Nei Shi Wenchen said even more sharply: "Why does Xiangguo act like this?"
"It's not a secret, the royal capital is facing a crisis, today's move, Zhang Yi is forced to do it, when the crisis is over, Zhang Yi will personally go to the palace to ask for the guilt, and now, I have to offend!" Zhang Yi looked solemn and said loudly: "Someone!"
The door of the temple was wide open, and countless guards poured in, surrounding the ministers in the blink of an eye.
This scene frightened many family members to scream, and even worse, their husbands trembled next to them.
"Zhang Yi, what do you want?"
Zhang Yi got up slowly and said loudly: "The commander has an order, so that you can hand over the palace guards when you wait, and those who violate the order are treasonous and will be killed!"
The guards are informal soldiers, but the deployment method is similar to that of the army, except that the principal personally orders, and the reliable token deployment, and such an important token, the principal carries it with him.
For a while, the ministers were forced to hand over the tokens, whether they wanted to or not.
Zhang Yi saw that it was going well, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't dare to really kill the courtiers. "The family members please go to the inner palace, the queen has another banquet, and the rest of the courtiers please have a banquet at ease, and they are not allowed to leave the palace without an order. ”
Soon, the inner family members were taken away one after another, and in the main hall, only a group of officials and guards were left on standby.
"I wonder how long Xiangguo wants me to stay in this palace?"
Zhang Yi said indifferently: "When the crisis in the royal capital is resolved, the commander has ordered, you can leave the palace, and before that, please meditate and cultivate, and the soft couch is also prepared on one side." ”
Only then did the courtiers know the function of these soft couches, and they clearly wanted to imprison them, and they all had different expressions.
"I want to meet the commander-in-chief, the commander's act is not the way to govern the country, this is a humiliation to his subordinates. An elderly civil servant was indignant.
For a while, the courtiers agreed, and the scene was almost out of control.
Qiang!!
The chief of the guard looked cold and drew his saber. "The commander has an order, and those who do not follow the arrangement of the prime minister, no matter what position, will be killed on the spot. ”
For a time, Bing Gosensen, the whole audience was quiet.
"Colleagues, please listen to me!" Zhang Yi hurriedly started the round and said: "I can't hide it, the commander's move is really a last resort, and the enemy army will invade the royal capital in the near future, and there are still small works lurking in the royal capital, and it is very likely that there will be bribed comrades among the courtiers. ”
Hearing this, the mood of the ministers calmed down, and even more, they began to look around vigilantly, as if they wanted to find suspicious people from their colleagues.
"Rest assured, your family commander has already made all the arrangements, please stay in peace. After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he strode away.
The convoy then left, and the doors of the temple slammed shut, leaving behind a group of terrified courtiers.
Harem.
Li Yueli stared at Zhang Yi tightly and said coldly: "Where is the commander?
Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment and saluted: "It is reported that there is a remnant of the enemy army that is directly attacking the royal capital, and the commander is directing the deployment in order to calm the hearts of the people. ”
Li Yueli's face changed, she knew that things were by no means as frivolous as Zhang Yi's mouth. finally knew why Ye Gucheng was abnormal, and said in a condensed voice: "What do you mean, the commander is not in the palace?"
"Yes!" Zhang Yi buried his head.
"When will the commander return to the palace?" Li Yueli was most concerned about this question.
"This... Zhang Yiyi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The minister doesn't know, the commander only orders the minister to protect the queen and the prince." ”
Li Yueli was stunned, only to feel cold all over her body.
Night.
The sound of killing in the Chuanjun military camp was everywhere, and soon subsided.
Tuoba stepped on corpses and quickly stopped at a pile of siege equipment.
"General Qiyu, my subordinates have just finished taking inventory, and the defenders here are about 1,000 people. ”
"It seems that our camouflage plan has been exposed! I'm afraid most of the defenders here are in the royal capital!" Tuoba Jue sighed softly, with a hint of frustration.
"That... ”
"Let the soldiers rest in place and attack the royal capital tomorrow. Tuoba Jue looked at the piles of siege equipment, and the victory rate in his heart increased greatly.
"Yes!"
