King Dingbei couldn't understand why the carefully set nirvana situation would make Yang Zhi's understatement come to naught in the middle of talking and laughing? Not only could he only watch Yang Zhi leave, but he also put his daughter in! vented all the evil fire on his ruthless son, and slapped the son of the world fiercely, scolding: "Livestock! That's your mother's own sister! If you have half the power of her, why should I worry so much? ”

sighed abruptly: "Wang'er, as a father, I also know that there will be endless troubles after letting the tiger return to the mountain, but Linglong is my biological daughter after all. She has a jade pendant in hand, and even if she orders to intercept it at this time, I'm afraid it will be too late. ”

Linglong was sent by her father to run around from time to time, and in order to make things easier, the king of Dingbei asked her to use the emperor's jade pendant as a basis to grant the right to transfer troops at the right of opportunity. As expected by King Dingbei, Yang Zhi and Linglong didn't have much trouble leaving Yanjing overnight.

After the two of them walked out of the city for more than 20 miles, Linglong suddenly said: "Childe,...... You stop! I'm going to get off the horse. ”

At this time, the night was deep, and there were no pursuers behind him. Yang Zhiyi stopped to help her get off the horse, and asked apologetically, "What?" Are you not feeling well? Is it that the arrow wound from the last time is not healed? ”

"It's not." Linglong's heart was hot, and she tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes from falling, and lowered her head to take out four or five gold ingots and stuffed them into his hands: "I only took so much in a hurry, and your entanglement along the way should be about the same." …… I can only send you here, take care! ”

"What did you say?!" Yang Zhi shook her shoulders violently, and said in shock: "If it's like this tonight, how can you go back to the palace?" Won't you go to Chang'an with me? I promise, Shen Yu will definitely like you in the future! I...... I really like you, too! ”

Linglong was embarrassed and aggrieved, and finally couldn't help hugging Yang Zhi tightly and crying: "I thought you wouldn't want me!" ”

If I don't want to be a woman who treats me like this, then am I still human? Yang Zhi suddenly felt more and more guilty, hugged Linglong into his arms, and simply let her cry.

Linglong cried for a long time, collected her tears and slowly shook her head and said: "Everything my father has done is to work hard for the sake of the Great Yan Kingdom, I hope you don't blame him." Since ancient times, filial piety and righteousness have been in a dilemma, I will never care about others except you in this life, but I can't go to Chang'an with you. ”

"This is called foolishness, loyalty, and filial piety! Do you understand? Yang Zhi hurriedly said: "Your father is not as great as you think!" He's a complete hypocrite! I'll just be honest with you, if I'm not mistaken, he's plotting a mutiny! Everything he did was to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, and he dreamed of becoming the Emperor of Dayan! ”

Linglong was stunned and said, "What? …… It's impossible! ”

Yang Zhi sighed: "I know it's hard to believe, and I didn't dare to conclude until tonight." Do you remember the first time I entered the palace, the two people sent out by the butler? Although there are many countries today, the customs and etiquette of the Han dynasty are not much different. If it was really a merchant from the Southern Tang Dynasty who came to befriend your father, knowing that you were the lord of the county, how could he not come forward to pay respects? Jiangnan is a rich place, even if those two are the servants of a wealthy merchant and magnate, if they don't have a certain status, they don't have the qualifications to go to the palace to give gifts, how can they wear that coarse cloth robe? So I was suspicious. Later, I listened intently to what they said, and although I didn't hear what they said, I was 100% sure that they were Turkic! ”

"I overheard that the last time the Turks came to ask for tribute was three months ago, which means that these two people are not Turkic envoys stranded in Yanjing. Even if it was, why deliberately conceal your identity? Because of your injury, our journey back from the royal court of Sainshanda was delayed by at least ten days longer than usual. The Turkic Khan and King Zuoxian were assassinated one after another, but there were Turks with hidden identities who appeared in the palace before us, which can only show that the drama of the Turks competing for the throne of the Khan has begun! Those two people are either representing the Right Xian King or the Tu Evil King, and the purpose of coming to Yanjing is to win the support of Dayan! If your father is not suspicious, just take them to see Emperor Yan directly, why leave them in the palace to talk secretly? ”

Linglong frowned and said, "Those two people are indeed suspicious, but this alone is not enough. ”

"Of course it's not just because of that. Because Emperor Yan is bent on begging for a truce in Great Xia, and the government and the opposition seem to have criticized your father for holding military power for many years, your father will feel that his position is in jeopardy. Once he loses his military power, he can't do anything. Sending you to lead someone to assassinate King Zuo Xian to blame Great Xia is of course to resolve the predicament faced by Great Yan, but also has a very important purpose, that is, to make Emperor Yan have no sufficient reason to relieve him of military power. ”

“…… Why? ”

"Even if they succeed in provoking Great Xia to fight to the death with all their might, no matter whether the Turks win or lose, they will not be able to fall too well. According to their usual bandit style, they will inevitably pass on part of the losses to Dayan, which is nothing more than sending troops to loot and asking for tribute. And Daxia has benefited in the war with Dayan for many years, and no soldier's soldiers will be transferred from King Kang. In this way, Dayan's situation under heavy pressure from both sides is at most suspended. The important weapon of the country of soldiers, in such a situation, how could Emperor Yan easily revoke your father's military power? ”

"However, the assassination of the Turkic Khan at the same time as King Zuoxian has radically reversed the tide for your father. The Turks fell into civil strife, and the Yan Emperor begged for peace with Great Xia again, if your father is no longer willing to hand over the military power, it will be tantamount to clearly telling people that they want to rebel. Therefore, I had no choice but to take the initiative to request the gradual transfer of military power to the crown prince, which was not only to stabilize Emperor Yan first, but also to have the last trace of luck for Emperor Yan. I didn't want Emperor Yan to fall into the trap, so I agreed to it. He had no choice but to transfer his henchmen from Jingzhou back to Beijing, waiting for an opportunity to launch a mutiny and forcibly come to power. As for why he killed me, I don't need to say more, right? ”

"You mean...... How many generals are staying at the pavilion today? But they returned to Beijing on the edict of the crown prince to take office? …… Besides, why did my uncle have to remove my father's military power? ”

In the dictionaries of many emperors, there is a cold-blooded rule: on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? Even if this person is his own flesh and blood brother!

Yang Zhi said with a dry smile: "Your father has been in charge of the military for so many years, do you say that those generals will listen to him or will listen to the prince?" If nothing else, there should be a Jingzhou border army heading towards Yanjing. I don't know how old the prince is, but he's old enough to take over the military, isn't he? If you are Emperor Yan, what if you are handing over the military power to your ambitious younger brother? Or do you leave it to your own son to rest assured? ”

"It is said that there is no family affection in the heavenly family, when your precious brother ordered to attack me just now, did he take into account the slightest bit of sister-brother friendship for you?"

In Linglong's mind, his father King Dingbei has always been a tall image of worrying about the country and the people and being loyal to Emperor Yan. knew that what Yang Zhi said was true, but she couldn't accept it for a while. The lost soul muttered, "I don't believe it! No, my father won't ....... It's all your guess, right? ”

Yang Zhi caressed her face and said pityingly: "If it's fast, it's just a few days, and it's not more than three months at most, and your father should be able to do it." ”

"Then I can't leave at this time." Linglong took off the jade pendant from her neck, hung it on Yang Zhi, and said resolutely: "Even so, I must try to save the lives of my uncle and the crown prince, and then go to Chang'an to find you." …… I'll miss you! ”

Under the nest, will there be no eggs? Regardless of whether the Dingbei King mutiny was successful or not, one of the two brothers of Emperor Yan and his brothers must fall completely. Yang Zhi saw Linglong's resolute expression, and knew that if she couldn't untie the knot of love between her family and country, no matter how much persuasion she had, it would be useless. kissed her lightly on the lips and said softly: "Happy fun, parting bitter, there are even more infatuated children." Remember, the door of the Yang family in Chang'an will always be open for my exquisiteness! ”
