Song Yien stood and wandered outside the gate of the Anqing camp, his face was pale, his expression was a little desperate, he didn't know how many laps he wandered outside the camp, and he was still reluctant to take a step.

Song Yien is the top three jinshi in the eighth year of Hongzhi, the scientific name of the top three jinshi is "Citong Jinshi origin", in the scientific examination, but if he is admitted to the top three, the results are already very poor, and he belongs to the role of the bottom of the jinshi, far less beautiful than Shu Jishi, and the work assigned by the imperial court to the top three jinshi will not be too good, the local chief official does not have to count on it, it is the first and second class to have the opportunity to be divided, if you want to be the local head official, even if it is the first and second class, you have to work hard in the Hanlin Academy for a few years.

Most of the work assigned by the imperial court to the top three jinshi is some auxiliary officials, if it is a Beijing official, most of them are a certain treasurer, a certain director, etc., if it is a local official, most of them are a certain government officials, according to the grinding, etc., this kind of work is not oil and water, and you have to bear the burden of humiliation every day against the spittle of the boss.

Song Yien is also a third-class jinshi, but he is the prefect of Chizhou in Nanzhili.

If bribery is also a kind of ability, Song Yien's position as prefect is won by his ability.

Being an official is the same as doing business, there are profits and losses, and it is also based on profit. First of all, he had to throw a lot of money, bribe the officials, bribe the officials, and bribe all the people who might block his future, so the top three jinshi only survived for a few years, and Song Yien was transferred out of Beijing and went to the prefect of Chizhou easily and beautifully.

Now that he has taken up the post of local chief, of course he must consider recovering the money he sowed at the beginning, not only to recover the cost, but also to make a lot of money, as the so-called "thousands of miles of officials are only for money". Song Yien then easily entered the stage of return to profit.

Like Yang Tinghe's problem, Song Yien is not very particular about seeking money, regardless of the money from all directions, all those who come do not refuse, Chizhou is less than 100 miles away from Anqing, it can be said that it is a short distance away, and it happens to be on the road from Anqing to Nanjing, so on a certain day in a certain year and month, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, sent a gift list to Song Yien's house, and Song Yien smiled very happily. And it's a lot of years.

Today. Song Yien finally tasted the consequences of accepting bribes back then, which is why he is standing outside the Anqing camp today.

Taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others has been passed down for thousands of years. Nature has its case.

Stand outside the gate. Cold sweat slid down Song Yien's pale cheeks. Godless eyes stared blankly at the handsome tent with the Ming Yellow Dragon Banner fluttering in the middle of the camp when the son sat firmly in the tent and he. was forced by Zhu Chenhao to lure the Son of Heaven out of the camp.

What a crime this will be!

However, Song Yien had no choice, and the Nine Clans of Calcumber did not pose any threat to him at all, because his Nine Clans were firmly in the palm of Zhu Chenhao's hands at this time.

To do this, only Song Yien will die, and if you don't do this, you will die Song Yien's nine clans, including himself.

This is Zhu Chenhao's choice for Song Yien, which is very cruel.

So Song Yien had to stand outside the Anqing camp at this time today.

He stood outside the gate for a long time, and the soft wind of summer blew on him, but it was as biting and cold as the cold wind.

I don't know how long it took, Song Yien shuddered violently, gritted his teeth, the despair on his face became more and more serious, and he laughed silently twice, Song Yien suddenly lifted the hem of his official robe and knelt in front of the gate, his forehead deeply touched the flying dust.

"Minister, Song Yien, the prefect of Chizhou, beg for Tianyan."

******************************************************************

A plain white note was slowly unfolded in Qin Kan's hand, there was only one sentence on the note, and the handwriting was graceful and smart, like a beautiful woman dancing.

"Hao wants to assassinate the emperor, you are careful and cherished."

The note was found in the only Jinyi Wei Baihu in Anqing City, and the Jinyi Wei Baihu was so frightened when they found this note that they almost crawled to send this important news to the camp.

At this moment, the note was pinched in Qin Kan's hand, although there was only one sentence, but Qin Kan read the handwriting countless times.

Reluctantly approaching the candle flame, watching it slowly turn to ashes, Qin Kan had a wry smile on his face.

Tang Zihe, this stubborn and stubborn woman, doesn't seem to pay off her own life debt, she doesn't want to meet him, but has she calculated the value of this note? A simple sentence can at least make the world less turbulent for ten years, and avoid the destruction of millions of people's homes, just this note is enough to repay all her life debts.

Of course, as for Qian Ning, who reported to him early, Qin Kan had already left him behind, and automatically put this god-pouring credit on Tang Zihe's head.

Watching the ashes of the note drift away in the wind, Qin Kan's thoughts turned in another direction, looking at the candlelight and muttering to himself.

"A small group of anti-army intellectuals have known the Tao, Qian Ning has known the Tao, and Tang Zihe has also known the Tao...... Assassinating the emperor, could it be that Zhu Chenhao beat gongs and drums to announce it to the whole world? The man's brain...... How is it long? ”

After contemplating and thinking, Ding Shunxing rushed into the curtain.

"Grandpa, someone is coming......"

Qin Kan glared at him angrily: "Nonsense! There are 200,000 people coming and going in this big camp, and you have to report this kind of to me, do you think I am idle every day? ”

Ding Shun was so frightened that he took two steps back, and hurriedly laughed: "The person who took the bait is here......

Qin Kan's eyes lit up: "What person?" ”

"Song Yien, the prefect of Chizhou, at this moment he is in the tent of the handsome under His Majesty, and came to Anqing from Chizhou under the banner of King Qin, but he bewitched His Majesty in the tent and went out of the camp, saying that there are many rare birds and beasts in Tianzhu Mountain, sixty miles away from Anqing City, and instigated His Majesty to go out of the camp to hunt......"

Qin Kan sighed: "Song Yien, it turned out to be him...... This is a beautiful woman, but how can she be a thief? ”

Ding Shun's smile clearly oozes a little murderous: "We are holding the butcher knife and we can't find the main owner, this surnamed Song himself put his head up...... Grandpa, are we ready to close the net? ”

Qin Kan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, close the Internet café, quickly send someone to sneak into Tianzhu Mountain to ambush, and the Praetorian Guard masters around His Majesty also set aside some of them to accompany him." What is Your Majesty doing now? ”

Ding Shun said with a smile: "He is smiling and accompanying Song Yien to act, the hunting in Tianzhu Mountain, His Majesty agreed without thinking about it, and said that the road is light and simple, there is no need to work far, and it ......is enough to bring a few followers."

Qin Kan sighed: "It's really a pit that doesn't pay for your life, Your Majesty has become more and more unkind in the past few years......

After sighing, Qin Kan's face was full of murderous intent: "Then send the Jinyi Wei Ti to ride out of the camp, go to Song Yien's hometown, and take down all the old and young of the nine clans of his Song family." Dare to assassinate the emperor. No matter how he explained, the sins of the Nine Clans could not be escaped. ”

"Yes!"

*******************************************************************

Tianzhu Mountain, known as the "first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River" since ancient times, is composed of 42 peaks. The peaks are covered with pine trees. Bamboo. Strange rocks, waterfalls, deep pools. It is both majestic and beautiful.

Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan really drove out of the camp lightly, with only a few dozen guards with them, as if they were afraid that the assassins would not dare to make a move, Zhu Houzhao even ordered the guards around them to take off their armor and only wear civilian clothes.

Standing on the mountainside of Tianzhu Peak, the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain, Zhu Houzhao smiled very happily, and Qin Kan, who accompanied him, also smiled very happily, and everyone was obviously in a good mood on this trip.

Song Yien was also dressed in civilian clothes, standing respectfully behind Zhu Houzhao, carefully laughing with him, but every time he looked up and saw the smiling faces of Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan, Song Yien always had the urge to turn around and run.

The smiles of the two men ...... It's really abnormal, so cold, like two cats who have just caught a mouse and let it go, their eyes are full of banter and mockery.

Did they laugh like that when they were in Kyoto? It's so insincere......

Zhu Houzhao closed his eyes, opened his hands to feel the cool breeze, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the country is picturesque, and I can only feel that this country really belongs to me, including this Tianzhu Mountain......"

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and everywhere you look, there are rivers and mountains under your Majesty, and it is really 'under the whole world, it is not the king's land.'" ’”

Song Yien said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this Tianzhu Mountain has a great history, the reason why the minister dared to invite His Majesty to come down to hunt here is because this Tianzhu Mountain and His Majesty's identity complement each other......"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What else does this Tianzhu Mountain say? ”

Song Yien stroked his green beard and said with a smile: "Tianzhu Mountain is tall and upright, such as a giant pillar optimus, so it has the name of 'Tianzhu', the poet immortal Li Bai once had a poem cloud 'strange peaks out of strange clouds, Xiumu contains delicate air, Qingyan Wangong Mountain, it is absolutely desirable', and Bai Lotian in the Tang Dynasty also has poetry clouds 'Tianzhu a peak of the sun and moon, Cave door thousands of lock clouds and thunder', in ancient times countless people who moved to the house, are amazed at the majestic and secluded beauty of Tianzhu Mountain, is the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, the reason why the minister said that Tianzhu Mountain and His Majesty's identity are contrasting, because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty toured to the south, set up a platform to worship Yue in this mountain, and sealed this mountain as 'Nanyue', the title of this Nanyue was not changed to Huguang Heng Mountain until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, so later Tianzhu Mountain has been called 'Long Live Mountain' by the people, and the minister wishes that His Majesty will live with this mountain. ”

In the end, he is a scholar, there is no trace of this sycophant, the strength is just right, Zhu Houzhao was really photographed with a smile, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with happiness.

"'Banzai Mountain'? Ha Lu Ha, good! I am long live, it is also long live, Song Qing is not wrong, this mountain and my identity complement each other, but since I am the emperor, I want to give this mountain another name......"

Song Yien hurriedly asked: "It is the eternal honor of this mountain to be named by His Majesty, I don't know what name His Majesty wants to give?" ”

Zhu Houzhao's smile became a little calm again: "I gave it the name ...... 'Removing Traitor Mountain', what does Song Qing think?" ”

Song Yien trembled, his face turned pale, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao in horror, his eyes full of despair.

Qin Kan took a step forward and started the round with a smile: "Zhu Chenhao is plotting rebellion, His Majesty and Zhu Chenhao are about to fight a decisive battle in Anqing, and the dignified and mighty king will punish the rebellion, isn't it just the word 'eliminate traitor'?" Your Majesty gave this name well, which is a good luck for quelling rebellion, and the minister thinks so. ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qin Kan and said with a smile: "It's still Qin Kan who knows my heart very well." ”

Song Yien breathed a sigh of relief like a prostration, and wiped the cold sweat like rain on his cheeks. Qiang Zi piled up a smile and said: "Except for the traitorous mountain, it is really a good name, Your Majesty's pacification of rebellion is in front of you, and the minister congratulates His Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said meaningfully: "The sky does not hide treachery, the sky does not tolerate treachery, under my bright and bright world, how long can the charm and the spirit hide?" After all, I will be destroyed. ”

Song Yien froze again, and cold sweat broke out again.

Zhu Houzhao laughed twice, but there was no clue in his expression. Keep walking on your own.

Song Yien stood there for a moment. After thinking left and right, he hesitated to judge that Zhu Houzhao's words just now were really unintentional, and then he continued to walk behind Zhu Houzhao in despair.

The group walked silently, and in the silence they could only hear the birds and insects in the mountains.

I don't know how long I walked. Ahead is already the mountainside of Tianzhu Mountain. A small piece of flat land appeared like a flower. The flat land is surrounded by strange rocks and green grass.

Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan walked side by side, raising their eyes to see the flat ground in front of them. The two glanced at each other without a trace.

It should be here, there are strange stones to hide the body, and there are flat ground to fight wantonly, enter can stab the king to kill, one blow to compete, retreat can escape into the mountains, do not leave the line to hide. It was a natural place for assassination.

The atmosphere in the team became strange in vain, Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan's steps became slower and slower, and the bodies of the accompanying guards unconsciously tensed, and the two guards slowed down, intentionally or unintentionally sandwiching Song Yien in the middle.

The killing machine, like a cloud of air filled with the smell of blood, gradually filled the middle of the team.

Song Yien's face became more and more pale, his steps staggered, and he couldn't help but swing as he walked, his lips trembled like a patient who had had a stroke.

Qin Kan crossed his hands and arms in front of his chest, and inadvertently made a very subtle gesture.

No matter how slow the pace is, it will eventually come to the end.

When Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan were only dozens of steps away from the flat ground, they suddenly heard a plop behind them, followed by the sound of countless steel knives unsheathed.

The two turned around in amazement, only to see Song Yien kneeling in the middle of the mountain path trembling like chaff, and the guards nervously put the steel knife on his neck.

Seeing the appearance of the guards as if they were facing a great enemy, at this moment, Song Yien seemed to understand everything.

Laughing miserably, Song Yien touched his head to the ground and cried: "The criminal minister Song Yien has failed the holy will, failed the emperor's grace, and before begging His Majesty to give him death, the criminal minister dared to ask His Majesty to go down the mountain and return to the camp quickly!" ”

Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan glanced at each other in surprise, Zhu Houzhao's expression became a little emotional, and his tone was extremely indifferent and ruthless.

"Song Yien, why don't you let me finish the remaining dozens of steps?"

Song Yien trembled, and said with a miserable smile: "It turns out that His Majesty has already made arrangements, and the reminder of the criminal minister is not too much, and the criminal has nothing to say, only to die." ”

Qin Kan slowly took a step forward and said coldly: "Song Yien, tell me, why did you suddenly decide to restrain yourself from the precipice?" ”

Song Yien cried: "The criminal minister has been studying hard for more than ten years, and the books he reads every day are all monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and the criminal ministers have accepted bribes and solicited bribes after becoming officials, and have also done things that oppress the people, occupy the land and bully women, and other things that have no conscience, but I want to kill the king...... The criminal minister really can't do it, even if the nine clans all die under Zhu Chenhao's knife, the minister can't do it! ”

Qin Kan said solemnly: "Do you think that by reminding you at this time, you can save your life?" ”

Song Yien smiled desperately: "Since the day he was coerced by Zhu Chenhao, the criminal has broken off his thoughts of life, and the criminal knows that he is not lucky, and he reminded him just now that the criminal just wants to do my best to be loyal to the king before he dies, so as to repay the sage book I have read for more than ten years." ”

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "You lured me to the place of death, and you still have the face to tell me what kind of loyalty to the king? Song Yien, your sage books have all been read in the dog's belly! ”

"The sinner deserves death, wait for His Majesty's whereabouts."

Qin Kan sighed and raised his eyes to look at the flat land surrounded by strange rocks.

Loyalty and treachery, just like calculating and being calculated, many times suddenly change positions.

The hearts of people in the world, whether black or white, are drenched in the same blood.

Reaching into his arms, Qin Kan took out a pocket-sized and delicate arrow from his arms, ignited the fuse, and threw it into the sky.

A terrible scream exploded in the sky above, the fireworks were fleeting, and the killing intent spread like a thick fog. (To be continued......)
