"Come in."

As soon as Shangguan Feng's words fell, there was a knock on the door.

Gonggong Min was holding a man in black in his hand, and when he saw the prince and the prince, he threw the person directly in front of them:

"The miscellaneous family caught this person, but it took a lot of effort, why don't you tell me well, who ordered you tonight, what are you going to do?!"

The man in black remained silent as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing this, Gonggong Min kicked him directly:

"What? Do you still want to try the methods of miscellaneous families? ”

The man shuddered for a moment before speaking:

"The prince spares his life, the prince spares his life, and the little one is just doing things on the orders of the emperor."

"What did the emperor order you to do?!"

Although Prince An had already guessed, he still asked with some reluctance.

"The emperor said that when the time comes, he will lead all the civil and military officials to the imperial garden, and when the time comes, I will set up an ambush and pretend to assassinate him on the road that must be passed.

And he will then order a thorough investigation of the matter, and I will definitely be caught then, and then, when I am interrogated, let me hand over this jade pendant, and I will be exempted from the death penalty. ”

Gonggong Min took the jade pendant in the man's hand and handed it to Prince An, after Prince An saw the jade pendant, his expression was solemn, and after a while, he slowly spoke:

"Kill it."

Gonggong Min directly clicked on the man's dumb hole to prevent him from screaming and dragged him out.

Prince An clenched the jade pendant in his hand, and his expression was a little sad.

This jade pendant was given to them by their father when they were still young, at that time, he and the emperor's jade pendant were exactly the same, but the inscription at the bottom of the jade pendant was different.

Later, his jade pendant was accidentally lost in the palace, and he searched for a long time but didn't find it, but he never thought that one day it would appear in front of him in such a way.

Even when Stone Town was set on fire, he had decided to look down on it, and even decided to let go of his relationship with the emperor, but now when he saw this jade pendant, his heart was still extremely uncomfortable.

He used to fantasize about the friendship between his brothers in the imperial brotherhood, and for Feng'er, he would also help to persuade slowly, but no one thought that this day would come so soon.

Brother Huang, are you already so impatient?

Shangguan Feng looked at Prince An there and pondered, and left directly and quietly.

There are some things that you have to figure out by yourself, and no matter how much others persuade them, they just can't work at all.

In the past, he, like his father, was soft-hearted, thinking that everything would be fine if he took a step back.

But there are some things that you don't take for granted, you think this way, but others don't necessarily think that way.

As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't do without the heart to prevent people.

And from the moment Stone Town was hunted down, everything was no longer going back.

The throne, he must give back, because only then can he protect the people he loves.

The next morning, Tang Guanxiong handed over his resignation letter to the old man and returned to his hometown, and the emperor glanced at it and couldn't help but regret:

"Why is General Tang so anxious?"

"I also asked the emperor to agree to the old minister's farewell to his hometown, and now the old minister has also brought this half of the talisman.

The old minister has not been on the battlefield to kill the enemy for many years, and his health is getting worse and worse than before, so he also asked the emperor to be gracious and allowed the old minister to return to his hometown. ”

"Have you already thought about it?"

The emperor took the half of the talisman handed over by Gonggong Li, which was a matter in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be pretending.

"The old minister has already thought about it, and I ask the emperor to agree."

"In that case, then I'm ready."

The emperor thought for a moment and agreed.

Although Tang Guanxiong no longer goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, even if he once handed over half of the military power, he still has some scruples.

Now that he sees Tang Guanxiong and Prince An's family getting closer and closer, he can't help but have doubts and fears in his heart.

Tang Guanxiong's farewell to the old man and his return to his hometown were like pebbles falling into the water in the court, causing ripples layer after layer.

Although Tang Guanxiong has been in the capital all these years, his reputation for bravely killing the enemy back then is still there, and if he leaves like this, there will definitely be some turmoil in the court.

There are talented people in the heroes, but looking at the officials of this year, which one can take responsibility? !

Taifu stood there, shaking his head almost invisibly, he is the emperor's teacher, how can he not know what the emperor is thinking now?!

I can't wait to take the military power in General Tang's hands for myself, but I haven't thought about General Tang's position, who will replace him?!

In other words, who among the younger generation has that ability?!

After the early dynasty, the Taifu went directly to the imperial study, and the emperor saw the Taifu kneeling there, and raised his eyebrows:

"Teacher, what do you mean?!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice, as soon as General Tang leaves like this, there will be no talent who can compare with General Tang in our entire court.

Now that the Qingluan Kingdom and the barbarian countries in the west have been eyeing each other, let General Tang go like this, then our country will not even have the ability to compete. ”

"Presumptuous."

The emperor was furious, thinking of the identity of the person kneeling there, and softened his tone:

"Teacher, I didn't force General Tang to leave, but General Tang volunteered.

Besides, there are talented people in the country, can't we even find a useful person in such a big country?

General Tang has been staying in the capital all these years, and the frontier is also guarded, so don't Qingluan countries and other countries still dare not mess around? !

I understand the teacher's concerns, but the teacher should take a long-term view, not just the past and the present. ”

Taifu looked at the emperor who was high above, the light flashed in his eyes, some people couldn't see clearly, and sighed slightly in his heart, since ancient times, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and now the emperor can still be kind to him, if he continues to persuade him, I am afraid that it will attract the emperor's anger.

But so what?!

He couldn't watch the emperor make mistakes again and again, even at the risk of being bored, he had to keep talking.

Now the entire court is divided into three factions, one faction of the eldest prince, one faction of the three princes, and some neutral ones.

If you really want to find out loyal to the emperor from it, then Tang Guanxiong is the best choice.

It's just that now, the emperor has pushed these loyal ministers farther and farther, looking at the entire court, where are there any loyal courtiers with the emperor.

"Your Majesty, General Tang can return to his hometown, but it definitely can't be at this time.

Only after the imperial court has cultivated available talents can General Tang be allowed to leave.

After all......"

"Taifu, could it be that the entire Fengyu Country is not able to do without him a Tang Guanxiong?! I want to see if the day can collapse without one Tang Guanxiong. ”

The emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, why did General Tang suddenly propose to return to his hometown this time, you should know better than anyone else.

General Tang's loyalty, you should also be able to feel, you hurt the heart of a loyal minister so much, aren't you afraid of your courtier's coldness? ”
