Chapter Eighty-Nine: Yan Le's Suffering
When the high-ranking and powerful Zhao Gao extended an olive branch to Yan Le, who was poor and white, he was moved. This is just like the hero of Liangshan accepted the court's recruitment and became a son-in-law who ate soft rice. From the Janissary Marquis in Xianyang City to the Xianyang Order with heavy troops, Yan Le only took five years.
In the past five years, Yan Le's career has gone very smoothly, except for the actions of his father-in-law Zhao Gao, who sometimes make him feel unhappy, except that Zhao Rong, the little lady, is sometimes too willful and too strong. In five years, it also smoothed out Yan Le's edges and corners, making him from a hot-blooded soldier to an accomplice of the power group.
Now on this road, Yan Le has no way back, and at this moment of discouragement, he even began to envy Li Yuan for being self-made and free and easy without relying on others.
The choice on the road of life is like leaning over to pick a wildflower on the side of the road, when you see the first one, you bend down, then the next you can only look at the scenery with peace of mind; And if you want to climb the highest mountain and pick the most beautiful flowers, you must bravely trek thousands of mountains and rivers to learn to distinguish between purple and red.
"It's unreasonable!" Persuading Zhao Rong to no avail, Yan Le had nowhere to vent his anger, so he led a team of people towards Wangyi Palace, the dormitory where Hu Hai lived.
After Zhao Rong's noisy, Yan Le didn't have much hope for Hu Hai to leave Xianyang, for the second emperor Bixia, who had been pampered since birth, the most haode city in the world was Xianyang, the most interesting place was Afang Palace, and the most comfortable place was Wangyi Palace.
In this small place, it is his world, his territory, and those attendants and maids are all playthings that he can kill at any time.
Between Yan Le's mansion and the palace, there are two streets apart, and in the middle is Zhao Gao's Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Where is the Prime Minister?" Yan Le stepped inside and grabbed a subordinate who was hiding in a side room.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister went out of the city in the middle of the night last night!" The subordinates of the Zhao Mansion originally wanted to come back and loot and make a little fortune, but they didn't want to meet Yan Le, the plague god.
"What are you talking about, Ah Weng is gone, why don't I know?" Yan Le was shocked.
"The prime minister only took three cars to ride, and he didn't tell anyone, and the little one didn't know?" This person trembled and replied, he is one of the outside stewards of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Gao did not alarm anyone in the middle of the night last night, only rolled up some soft and ran away, if he didn't come back this morning, it is estimated that Zhao Gao would not know that Zhao Gao had abandoned the city and fled.
Under the circumstance that Li Yuan's army was pressed by the troops and the reinforcements were delayed, Zhao Gao, who was chased and killed the night before, was afraid. Whether it was someone sent by Li Yuan or not, or other shili in the city, in short, these people wanted his Zhao Gao's life. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a group of men and horses loyal to him in the city to resist, Zhao Gao decided to escape out of the city by carriage and seek protection from the north to Zhanghan of Thorn Yuan, which was the only way Zhao Gao could think of to save his life.
――。
Inside Wangyi Palace.
Emperor Hu Hai is like a wood carving clay sculpture, indifferent to the great changes that have taken place outside, in fact, it is not that he does not care, but even if he wants to ask what is going on outside? What I heard was also a sound of caroling, Zhao Gao pointed to the deer as a horse, and Hu Hai was silent, which made the ministers of the court completely disappointed in Hu Hai, the young emperor. At the same time, since the eunuch Ling Han Tan died, none of Hu Hai's entourage dared to tell him the truth.
Another big win in the Shu game.
Hu Hai danced happily, and his somewhat obese face, with the naughty smile of a mischievous child, frightened the attendants around him trembling.
The attendants called Hu Hai's smile: the devil's smile.
Every time Hu Hai laughed, there were attendants and maids who were tortured and killed, and several Shu cards were played, and those who failed were either cut off their hands or their feet, and the incompetent people, what was the use of staying; Whoever is victorious cannot escape the bad luck of being buried alive or directly beheaded, and Hu Hai is naturally merciless to those who dare to win him.
After summing up the lessons of the game, the attendants around Hu Hai gradually found a way to temporarily save their lives, that is, to play two or three games, they used the excuse of urinating, and then changed people to continue.
Blind victory may make Hu Hai feel bored, but due to the different opponents, Hu Hai's freshness has always been maintained, although this method cannot last, but it is already the most haode idea that these precarious attendants have come up with.
Just when Hu Hai was proud, at the gate of Wangyi Palace, there was a terrible scream, Xianyang ordered Yan Le to wear armor, hold a sharp sword, and murderously rush in with a group of soldiers.
Yan Le is close to madness, Tingwei Prison was robbed by a group of unknown people, more than 200 criminals fled in the prison, this is the first bad news, and what makes him even more mad is that Prime Minister Zhao Gao, that is, his father-in-law, actually took the lead in running away quietly. Leave this mess for him to dispose of.
It was a good negotiation haode, and he coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Although this famous sentence comes from the name of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the meaning is clear to everyone, Zhao Gao and Yan Le are not stupid people, if there is no emperor as a talisman, their group of people who fled in the wilderness will be immediately arrested as traitors, so that even if they escape to Zhang Han one day, they will not get any good end.
However, why did Zhao Gao abandon the original plan and escape? Yan Le suddenly felt a strong sense of anger at being abandoned.
The news that Prime Minister Zhao Cheng had escaped first quickly spread in the city, and for a while the crowd was excited, and the panic of those officials close to Zhao Gao intensified, the Zhao family fell apart, Zhao Gao fled, Zhao Cheng was beheaded, and only one Yan Le was pushed to the front as a shield, which made Zhao Gao's consistent strategy of covering his ears and stealing the bell completely useless. Seeing it with your own eyes, this is more apt than any order from the imperial court.
In just half a day's effort, in addition to the soldiers guarding the Baqiao City Gate, and Li Yuanjun's army on the opposite side, several other city gates in Xianyang have been tightly blocked by the flow of fleeing people.
Yan Le wanted to leave, but he couldn't.
If this is to blame, he can only be blamed for marrying a stupid woman.
Yan Le was murderous, and in the Wangyi Palace, there was already a sea of blood.
The resentment of the defeat in Leyou Yuan made Yan Le's spirit always in a tense state, he didn't expect that Li Yuan, a small military marquis who had risen from the end of the world, would be so powerful, and the strong sense of frustration made him live in tension every day.
In that battle, 20,000 generals were wiped out, and he was high-spirited, but he only ended up fleeing in embarrassment.
In that battle, the yellow fat horse, the iron spear, and the brave posture of the young Li Yuan made Yan Le jealous, and the young followers under Li Yuan, such as Luo Jia, Bai Guangji, Cao Xin, etc., made Yan Le have the urge to be reborn once.
Unable to leave the city and betrayed by the desperate and helpless emotions, Yan Le was like a mad tiger, and he vented his resentment against the times and the injustice of his wrong choice into the palace mutiny.
