41. Chapter 31

On the golden hall, the ministers held their breath, and the young emperor on the dragon chair had not spoken for a long time.

The rebellious party destroyed half of Chang'an Street, the houses suffered, there were countless casualties, and even the Imperial Forest Army was alarmed, except for a few small minions, no one was caught, and even the mastermind who planned the attack on the capital was not clear.

Rong Jinhuan's eyebrows were twisted into a figure-eight, and he leaned coldly on the dragon chair and looked at the waste below, and the bright yellow dragon robe did not dare to come out according to the atmosphere of the ministers below.

Even Lord Gu, who is usually eloquent, stood with his mouth closed, but more courtiers were secretly glad that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Rong Yixuan's left arm had been simply bandaged, and he stood in front of everyone with his head bowed, his dark blue robe as if it was about to swallow him into the shadows.

He was no better than the man on the throne. Su Ruoyun disappeared for no reason in the chaos, and Shuyan led people to search house to house overnight but found nothing - the mastermind was never caught, and Su Ruoyun was never seen, let alone returned to Su Mansion.

She was gone for a short time, and could only be taken away, perhaps because of the conversation with him.

Every time he thought of this, he was upset, as if Su Ruoyun's rouge clothes and determined riddle appearance were just phantoms in a dream, as if the chaos in Chang'an was a nightmare when he woke up.

Unprecedentedly, Rong Jinhuan recruited all the princes into the palace for the first time after the New Year, and even the three brothers of the Cheng family arrived.

Of course, he knew that there were people who had left the country and mixed into the capital, but he didn't expect that there were not only Hu people involved, but also the Qingping Sect. The few princes who startled the grass and snakes directly led to the destruction of the Shangyuan Festival and the burning of Chang'an Street. High-powered firearms are not only extremely destructive, but also cause panic and rumors to spread.

King Jing and King Yu were absent - one had a hangover, and the other had already gone out.

"Bingbu, Zhao Shilang." He glanced lazily at the ball-like fat body, and slowly read out the official name.

"Minister...... The minister was ......" Zhao Shilang hurriedly rolled out of the crowd and trembled into a sieve.

Rong Jinhuan squinted his eyes, looked at the fat ball from the corner of his slightly curled eyes and said, "Zhao Shilang, I heard that the border is urgent, and the garrison outside the city is late, how are you prepared?" ”

In the middle of winter, Lord Zhao was sweating profusely, and said tremblingly: "Go back...... Back to the Emperor...... Minister...... Soldier...... The military department immediately transferred troops to Shazhou and garrisoned troops outside the city...... Can...... Can be ...... together"

"Humph!" Rong Jinhuan sat up straight, and the "snap" speech fell on his face, and the loud voice almost shook the Golden Palace: "What a soldier left!" Shangshu's position is vacant, and you have been acting for more than a year before the capital is attacked, how can this Gyeonggi defender be transferred to the border at will! If I ask you the number of garrisons in the two states now, I'm afraid you won't be able to answer! How can I keep you at bay against the enemy! ”

"The emperor forgives ...... sin" Lord Zhao knelt down and kowtowed.

"Say! As a soldier of the military department, the area around the Yunzhou sandbank is under your control, how did you let these people from Fanbang mix into the capital! Rong Jinhuan slapped the armrest.

Before Lord Zhao could squeak, he fainted in fright.

"It seems...... There's no need to judge it......" Rong Jinhuan sneered evilly, looked at Zhao Shangshu who fell into mud on the ground, and waved his hand, "Come on, Zhao Shilang colluded with Fanbang, dragged it down and cut it." Lord Wang Yuanwang, appointed as the secretary of the military department. ”

As soon as a few words of understatement fell, a guard came in and dragged Zhao Shangshu's two legs.

The atmosphere in the main hall was suddenly solemn, and the official position of the squire was second only to Shangshu, and he said that he would cut it, and this Lord Wang was just a small Gyeonggi guard officer, and he was able to promote Shangshu.

No one has opened his mouth at this juncture, and if he is wrong in one sentence, he will be widely implicated, and he cannot afford the crime of this traitor.

The corners of Rong Yixuan's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to stand without any reaction.

Zhao Shilang is just a drunken and meaty man, he took advantage of the loopholes of the former emperor and acted indiscriminately, Rong Jinhuan had long wanted to kill him, and now the various passes are lax, and he is the commander of Yun and Sha Erzhou, if there is no benefit, how can so many people enter Beijing? It's not like you can get in if you want to.

can only be killed now, could it be that the emperor deliberately turned a blind eye to Xili's infiltration, so as to send troops?

"Where is the assistant military department?" Sure enough, Rong Jinhuan fell back onto the dragon chair, and his eyes drifted to the empty position - it was Yu Wangye's.

Four kings with different surnames control the dynasty, and the real power of this military department is actually in the hands of the prince, and now, his whereabouts are unknown, Rong Jinhuan specially bit the word "assistant".

Cheng Qingsu looked furious, stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, last night the capital was in turmoil, the border was in an emergency, Yu Wang Ye was afraid of another incident, he rushed to Yunzhou overnight, Yu Wang Ye was named a general before the first emperor, and the emperor was relieved of the retreat from the enemy." ”

After speaking, he looked up and glanced at Rong Jinhuan, his eyes were as calm and solemn as ever.

The court was in an uproar, and King Yu's absence actually rushed to the border overnight, thinking that the war of leaving the country many years ago was also pacified by King Yu, but it was really arrogant to cut first and then play.

Rong Jinhuan was not annoyed when he heard this, but laughed: "When the prince goes, I am naturally relieved." He said almost through gritted teeth.

Cheng Qingsu's meaning couldn't be clearer: Yu Wangye has military power in his hands, and this time he went to the border to make a concession to each other, and Yu Wangye can help him retreat from the enemy, and he can no longer pursue the "meritorious heroes".

Cheng Qing bowed his head and retreated without saying a word.

Rong Jinhuan stared at his thin and cold face, and he didn't have anything to say, so he turned to Rong Yixuan and said, "Prince Rong, what can the prisoner who was captured last night ask?" ”

Rong Yixuan heard his name, raised his head and said: "Back to the emperor, I have been escorted to Dali Temple for interrogation, and the minister must personally inquire about this matter." ”

Rong Jinhuan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "If Prince Rong asks something, he can deal with it himself, I ...... Named you a general of the chariot cavalry, and three days later took 10,000 light cavalry to Yunzhou and Shazhou to rectify the army. General Yu can be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and Aiqing can be the deputy marshal, so be sure to help the general retreat from the enemy."

Rong Yixuan hesitated slightly, and looked at Rong Jinhuan with half-squinted eyes.

After sharing the merits, the meaning could not be more obvious, but Rong Jinhuan was so sure that he could defeat without a fight, and it was his wish to destroy Xili for many years.

He bowed his head and gave thanksgiving.

Master Gu was about to go up and start a war to leave the country, but he straightened his back and lowered his head with interest: they have destroyed Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the capital, and this battle must be fought.

Rong Jinhuan nodded with satisfaction, then no longer looked at him, but turned to Cheng Qingsu: "You don't need Mo Yushi to hand over the fold, the squire of the military department knows the law and violates the law, Cheng Wangye, the ministry knows people well?" ”

Cheng Qingsu clenched his fists slightly, the first emperor built the Star Pavilion, combined the three provinces into one, and the Shangshu Order only set up the left and right servants to shoot, and now the courtiers except for the left servants to shoot Lord Luo, it is he who acts on behalf of the power. Rong Jinhuan clearly blamed him for "knowing people and being good at duty" for acting as a squire, although this straw bag had been in office as early as the emperor's time, and he had only been promoted to squire in recent years.

Mo Yushi has always been a person who dares to give direct advice, but the emperor did not dare to say anything about him.

Seeing that the eldest brother didn't answer, Cheng Qingxuan stepped forward and opened his mouth thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, the enemy is current, the imperial court is at the time of employing people. ”

Cheng Qinghe silently pulled his sleeve on the side.

Cheng Qingxuan was slightly moved, and finally added: "My brother Cheng Qinghe, I am willing to be the captain and assist Prince Rong to retreat from the enemy." ”

"The minister is willing!" As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Qinghe interfaced.

Cheng Qingsu's face instantly became surprised and annoyed.

Rong Jinhuan's face seemed to be more ugly than Cheng Qingsu, and he sneered at this idle prince who never went to the court to participate in politics, and then looked at Cheng Qinghe, who was idle and idle, and suddenly his eyes were like torches:

"Yes, in this way, I can wait for your good news in the capital. The rest of the things will be played again tomorrow, retreat! ”

He flicked his sleeves, as if impatient, and stepped into the inner sanctum without looking back.

"The emperor retreats from the dynastyβ€”" Chang Gonggong's shrill voice sounded

The ministers in the palace seemed to have been amnesty, and they fled from the Golden Palace, talking to each other as they went, some discussed whether this war was boring, and some frankly said that this matter had nothing to do with them.

Rong Yixuan frowned, didn't look at the Cheng family, walked out quickly, and stepped down the steps.

Shuyan had already prepared a car to wait, and when he saw him coming to meet him, he took the crown for him: "Master, your injury is not healed, but you went back to rest?" ”

"No, go to Dali Temple, you go to inform Dali Temple Qing first, and let him stay and guard outside." Rong Yixuan was murderous, and entered the car without waiting for Shuyan to answer.

Later, Cheng Qinghe obediently stopped in front of Cheng Qingsu, "Big brother, forgive me, I begged the second brother to let me go." I can't see the capital this time, I can't see death without help. ”

He swallowed half of the sentence, everything was his fault, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have entered Chang'an Street to take risks, he promised Xiaohong to return her miss as it was, and swore that "I will carry it when the sky falls" has become bragging.

I heard that there was a suspicious carriage out of the city, and Ruoyun was nowhere to be found, and nine times out of ten it was taken captive by Xiliren, and he had to do his best to get her back.

However, he begged his second brother to let him go to the border pass, but he didn't agree to go to war, and the idea of sneaking out halfway to find someone was decided.

"Second brother, can you help me talk." Cheng Qinghe cast a distressed gaze at Cheng Qingxuan.

Cheng Qingsu made a straight face, glanced at Cheng Qingxuan, lost most of his fierceness and momentum, and then looked at Cheng Qinghe, who didn't take the war seriously, and said to him from between his teeth after a long time: "If you dare to go, I don't care if you live or die." ”

"Good! Deal! Cheng Qinghe's face was happy, and he didn't think it was serious at all.

Cheng Qingsu snorted coldly and strode forward.

"Since you and King Huai clean up Chang'an Street, I will go to Pingyang Palace, that girl Xiaohong, you will send someone to take care of it, and say that Su Ruoyun is fine." Cheng Qingxuan ignored the contradiction between the two, only glanced at Cheng Qingsu and confessed, then turned around and went in the other direction.
