Chapter XVIII

The emperor smiled noncommittally.

The laughter swayed in the Qinzheng Palace, which was not half humane, and it seemed a little sharp and compelling.

Fu Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes rolled towards the hall and then turned away faintly, with a faint smile on his face.

Autumnal Equinox raised his forehead slightly and glanced upward.

He followed his master Huang Zhong to walk and serve in the Qinzheng Hall all the year round, and his ability to observe words and emotions has long been perfected, and now he knows that the emperor is angry, but he is restrained and does not let it out.

Fortunately, the emperor's anger was directed at Yan Heng.

It seems that he was able to escape the catastrophe.

Fu Zhong turned sideways slightly, faced Yan Heng, and said with a kind smile: "The emperor cares about the safety of the people in the state capitals, and he can't sleep at night without thinking about tea and dinner." ”

"Knowing that the bandits were wiped out everywhere Yan Dudu went, he was greatly relieved, and praised Yan Dudu for being brave and good at fighting, and he was invincible."

"Now that the governor of Yan has finally arrived in Beijing safely, it is really a blessing for the great yong."

This is a killer! Fengzhou Daying Xie Huai frowned tightly when he heard this, and looked at Yan Heng worriedly.

But seeing that Yan Heng was calm, he turned his head to look in the direction of Fu Zhong, and said with a smile: "Before I left Beijing, I heard that Fu Shoufu was ill, and now it seems that he is indeed not lightly ill, and he has begun to talk nonsense." ”

Xie Huai didn't expect that Yan Heng would have time to fight back in a straight line at this time, and he almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

This mouth is really poisonous.

Fu Zhong's face stiffened slightly, but he also calmed down, and wondered: "What does Yan Dudu mean by this?" ”

"The last general is a reckless man, how can he afford the blessing of the great yong?" Yan Heng wrinkled his eyebrows, looking very helpless, but he was a little more patient in the face of Fu Zhong, and earnestly taught: "What you said here, those who know understand that you are sick and confused." But don't go outside and talk nonsense, lest you be scolded for not having the emperor in your eyes. ”

Fu Zhong's original intention was to put eye medicine in front of the emperor, so that the emperor could vent the anger in his heart as soon as possible, but he was pushed back by Yan Heng's sharp teeth.

If the crime he gave is confirmed, it will be a crime of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors.

Fu Zhong hurriedly knelt down, and slammed his head on the ground: "Weichen has no such intention, the emperor is Mingjian!" ”

The emperor glanced at Fu Zhong without being salty, and then glanced at Yan Heng, and waved his hand for a moment: "Get up." ”

Yan Heng Xie En got up, and after standing still, he raised his eyebrows at Xie Huai on the right.

Xie Huai has been in Fengzhou all the year round, and this time he was able to enter Beijing because Yan Heng borrowed 5,000 soldiers, and something went wrong on the way, so the emperor summoned him to receive it.

And the mood of worrying about his heart and lungs for many days disappeared between Yan Heng's eyebrows.

Anyway, it seems that he already has a way to deal with it in his mind!

The autumn equinox also stood up and quietly rubbed beside Master Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong glanced sideways at his arm.

Fu Zhong thanked him, stood up with some difficulty, but did not enter the ranks, but continued to say to Yan Heng: "By the way, I heard that Yan Dudu stopped when he was in Jizhou. ”

"The governor knows that Ma Sheng, the prefect of Daguan Town, accidentally dropped the candlestick while working in the study, causing a fire, and he was burned to death in the study because he could not escape in time."

Yan Heng frowned and said in surprise: "There is such a thing?" Who did Fu Shoufu listen to? Is the message reliable? Don't dare to spread the word in front of the emperor! ”

In the face of Yan Heng's frightened four consecutive questions, Fu Zhong smiled slightly, and it seemed that even the white hair on his sideburns was written with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he was amiable.

He explained gently: "I am fortunate to hear an ear in the emperor's palace. ”

Yan Heng nodded clearly: "So that's the case, I thought someone sent a letter to inform Yu Fu Shoufu, and you know so clearly." ”

Fu Zhong's expression was momentarily flustered, but he quickly stabilized.

Looking at Yan Heng's eyes, there was a little more speculation, and his words became cautious: "Yan Dudu said that he laughed, I don't know anyone in Jizhou, who will write to me?" ”

"Yes." Yan Heng was noncommittal to Fu Zhong's answer.

"However, I do know this prefect of Ma, and I talked to him not long ago."

"When I heard the news at first time, I deeply regretted it."

"However, I have something important to inform the emperor now, why don't I talk about the affairs of the Ma Governor's Mansion later? How about Fu Shoufu's intentions. ”

Fu Zhong's smile was cold.

Did he learn eye medicine too?

Oh, if he thinks that he can make the emperor embarrassed himself, then he will be disappointed!

"Yan Du supervised the suppression of bandits and returned to Beijing, since the matter of suppressing bandits should be the priority, and the affairs of the Ma Governor's Mansion are not in a hurry." He said and glanced in the direction of the emperor.

This glance was seen by Xie Huai, and he frowned unconsciously.

What is this black ink holding back?

He clearly knows the grievances between Black Ink and Yan Heng, and the bad black ink is naturally aimed at Yan Heng!

Thinking of this, Xie Huaigang's heart lifted again.

Yan Heng organized his words in his heart, and then waved his hand at the emperor and said: "The last general was ordered to go to Raozhou to suppress bandits, and then he was ordered to lead troops around the borders of various states to deter the states. ”

"When I return to Beijing today, there are some things I want to know to the emperor."

When the words fell, several generals led by Xie Huai frowned in fear.

That morning, the emperor only said that Yan Ji would lead troops to suppress the bandits, but he did not mention that he would deter the states.

In this case, the autumn equinox was quietly sent by the emperor to be the overseer?!

It's ridiculous to make a eunuch suppress the general!

Yan Heng didn't see the expressions of Xie Huai and the others, and was still saying: "It's just that after the last general arrived in Raozhou, he found that things were not as the emperor said." ”

Fu Zhong frowned and said suspiciously: "Yan Dudu means that the emperor is wrong?" ”

Yan Heng's words were interrupted, his quiet eyes fluctuated slightly, he pursed his lips, and looked sideways at Fu Zhong: "Fu Shoufu is deeply favored by the emperor, and even the emperor's words and deeds dare to correct every day. But in the eyes of the last general, the emperor will not make mistakes, at most he has been deceived by traitors. ”

Fu Zhong touched the nail again and had to ask the emperor again to show his loyalty.

The emperor said with some displeasure: "Fu Xiang is old, get up and kneel to avoid being tired, let's listen quietly." ”

Fu Zhong lowered his head and respectfully responded.

Xie Huai saw that Yan Heng still had unfinished words, so he took the initiative to hand him the talker: "Listen to Yan Dudu's words, is it possible that the emperor has been deceived by traitors?" I wonder what happened in Raozhou? Let Yan Dudu have such remarks! ”

Yan Heng glanced at Xie Huai, and the luster under his eyes warmed up slightly.

He continued: "There is a farmer named Su Sheng in Raozhou, his ancestor was a wealthy businessman, and he left a treasure for inheritance when he was brilliant, and the Su family has been passed down from generation to generation, but it can be passed on to Su Sheng's generation, and the heirloom was robbed by robbers. ”

"This robber is none other than Raozhou Zhizhou."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other unconsciously, and guessed in their hearts that this Raozhou Zhizhou was probably a master who oppressed the people.

But Yan Heng's next words shocked them.

He said: "And the reason why Raozhou Zhizhou became a robber is because he wants to gather ninety-nine treasures from the people in the state to congratulate the emperor on his longevity." ”

When the words fell, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

And Yan Heng raised his eyes to look at the emperor.
