The morning in the north came late, and before dawn everyone had already woken up, and there were lamps and torches everywhere, and all the lieutenants were gathered in the big tent.

Ye Feng is the leader, Yiren is standing on his right side, Seventeen is also wearing iron armor and standing on his side, Ye Feng has no queen, even if Seventeen is not the general of King Qin, in terms of military rank, it is also the position of a major general, Ye Feng was also going to give him this position, but he left the barracks at a young age, so he did not transfer this right.

Xiao Yu'an sat down and flipped through the documents in front of the case unhurriedly, "How is the war in the east?" ”

"Your Highness, Xiao Ye intended to settle the war by dividing the three cities and signing a treaty with the barbarians, but was stopped by General Yan Zijun Yan."

"Yan Zijun?" Xiao Yu'an put down the paperwork and raised his head from the front of the case, "Isn't he guarding in the southwest?" ”

Ye Feng sighed, "Yan Zijun was originally in the southwest to deal with the aftermath, and then Xiao Ye took the throne, and they didn't return to Kyoto, until Xiao Ye sent Xiao Hou Ye to guard Kyoto, Yan Zijun took the people from the southwest to the east to support. ”

"The reason for the defeat of Marquis Xiao was the lack of manpower, coupled with the fact that the terrain was unfamiliar with the danger, Xiao Ye indiscriminately executed people for the crime of rebellion, Xiao Ye had a deal with the barbarians in the east, and after the battle with Marquis Xiao, the city was divided into them, after Marquis Xiao returned to Beijing, the barbarians should have occupied the city as a matter of course, but Yan Zijun brought people to support, so that the eastern border was saved."

"This matter reached Xiao Ye's ears, he and the barbarians were not easy to explain, the barbarians sent an envoy to Kyoto, and a contract divided the city to them, forcing Yan Zijun to have to stop fighting, this matter also caused an uproar among the people, but no one in the court dared to impeach Xiao Ye."

didn't hear these news, and his expression was serious, "Then why is there still a war in the east now, and the armistice has not been announced." ”

"Humph!" Speaking of this, Ye Feng was also a little worried, "Yan Zijun, that kid, didn't admit it on the grounds that the holy decree did not cover the jade seal, but instead beat up the envoy of other people's land, saying that they imitated my Dayan holy decree and spread this ugly matter. ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and they all admired Yan Zijun's courage and strategy, but Seventeen and Yiren looked embarrassed, and they couldn't say that Yan Zijun did something wrong, but Xiao Ye's trick was really yin enough.

Xiao Ye only divided three cities to the barbarians, because those three cities were irrelevant, the last line of defense in the east was the fourth city, Lanyang, Lanyang is a water city, the barbarians are not water-based, if you want to break Lanyang, there must be huge losses, Xiao Ye calculated all this to agree to the barbarians.

Among them, Yan Zijun stepped in sideways, to protect the three cities, it is no good for Xiao Ye, Yan Zijun is Xiao Yuanjun's person, that is, the princess, Xiao Yu'an's person, Yan Zijun led people to guard the eastern border, it was in his own name, Xiao Ye did not need to give any explanation to the barbarians, Yan Zijun could not help Xiao Yu'an because of the eastern border, which was what Xiao Ye liked to see.

At the same time, Xiao Ye and Xiao Yu'an have a better chance of winning the battle, although Yan Zijun's soldiers are elite soldiers, but they can't withstand consumption, and when he is unable to resist the enemy, Xiao Ye has already held great power at that time, and personally went out to support the eastern border, rescuing the people and water and fire in the eastern border, so as to win the hearts of the people, it can be said that he has calculated everywhere.

A group of deputy generals are fighting, but they don't understand people's hearts, they don't know the stakes in it, admiring Yan Zijun's courage, Xiao Yu'an also understands that this is Xiao Ye's strategy, he looked at Ye Feng, who also looked embarrassed, "How could General Zhenguo know about this news?" ”

The source of their news all the way was Jing Ming through the secret whistle, it was the secret whistle of Kyoto's crime, and it was the most inconspicuous, if even they couldn't pass the news out, it was even more impossible for others, and even Xiao Ye's motive behind it was known, such a confidential person's news was definitely not accessible to ordinary people, and Ye Feng had been guarding the eastern border for twenty years, and it was impossible for him to have a dark line in Kyoto.

"It was arranged by the first emperor." Ye Feng said in a deep voice: "It has always been him who has passed the news of Kyoto to me, and I don't know what his identity is. ”

The first emperor buried many dark lines, far beyond their surprise.

Xiao Yu'an didn't ask any more questions, but was entangled in another matter, "Xiao Yu'an has always acted decisively, he won't be so twists and turns, such insidious tricks, there should be someone around him." ”

Ye Feng doesn't understand the sophistication of Kyoto's people, "Who will have ......"

"Su Li." Yiren said suddenly, Xiao Yu'an's fingers suddenly tightened when he heard this, and Seventeen carefully recalled this person, it was the person who pushed Xia Zhishu down the city tower, his expression was indifferent at that time, no different from usual, as if he was born without emotion.

He remembered how many times he saw him, Childe was dressed in white, his expression was gentle, but his smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, he was a person who couldn't see through, it was not strange that he had such a talent, but Seventeen always felt that something was wrong.

They said in a fog, a group of deputy generals looked at each other, and Seventeen told them in detail about the benefits and disadvantages of Xiao Ye's move, the generals were anxious, did not like to hide their emotions, scolded Xiao Ye, and threatened to dismantle Xiao Ye into eight pieces, the scene was chaotic for a while, and Yiren had a bad feeling in his heart, but he was powerless to stop it.

"If you want me to say, the matter has come to this, you don't have to fight any gentle policies with Xiao Ye's grandson, you have to do it clearly."

"That's right, otherwise Xiao Ye would have sat in that position for a long time, and everyone would really think that position was his."

"He doesn't deserve that hypocrite."

Xiao Yu'an watched silently, smiling in his heart, but his face was worried, "Xiao Ye has now ascended the throne, no matter what we do, it is a rebellion, and we have no strength to compete with him now." ”

The hateful lieutenant generals looked at each other, embarrassed for a moment, and suddenly a young lieutenant general stepped forward, "Who said no, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are not justifiable, why can't you compete with him." ”

Xiao Yu'an was a little embarrassed, "But I'm just a prince in the edict." ”

"Then you will also ascend the throne, I heard that Xiao Ye does not have a jade seal."

The military general was boiling, but Seventeen reacted suddenly, looking at Xiao Yu'an who was sitting on the top, he still looked like that, and there was nothing suspicious, which made him confused for a while.

Ito glanced at him, she felt the same way, but it was just a feeling, she didn't even suspect him, she just felt a little breathless.

The adjutant general shouted more and more intensely, and finally even shouted in unison to let Xiao Yu'an ascend the throne, Xiao Yu'an sat on the upper seat and buried his head, so that people couldn't see clearly.

Seventeen stepped forward and took the lead in speaking, "Minister Seventeen, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to think about the country's society, conform to the will of the people, ascend the throne and become the emperor, and save the people of the world from fire and water." ”

Seeing this, Ye Feng also knelt down, "I am willing to implore His Highness to take the throne and become the emperor for the sake of the country." ”

Everyone behind him knelt down and said in unison: "I implore Your Highness to ascend the throne." ”

Xiao Yu'an seemed to be surprised when he saw it, and stood up suddenly, his face embarrassed, "You, you are embarrassing me." ”

He looked at Seventeen, "Even if I promise you to ascend the throne, why should others believe it, just by an edict that no one has ever seen?" ”

Yiren's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yu'an, but Xiao Yu'an pretended not to see it and looked at Seventeen.

Seventeen thought for a while, took out the order of King Qin from his bosom and presented it, "Back to Your Majesty, you can take this as an introduction, plus the edict in the princess's hand, Your Highness must be justified in sitting on the throne." ”

"That's right! Why didn't you think of King Qin's order, little seventeen, but there is really you. The lieutenant general behind the seventeenth joked, was glared back by Ye Feng, and shut up.

Xiao Yu'an's face was ugly, "Don't say it again, I won't ascend the throne." ”

"Why?" Yiren stepped forward and asked, forcing him to look at her directly, "Your Highness's identity is like this, why is your family and country in trouble right now, why don't you want to ascend the throne." ”

Xiao Yu'an didn't expect her to come out, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, he turned his back, "Miss Ye, don't be strong, Xiao doesn't want to lose his original intention for the sake of power." ”

"Then dare to ask, what is the original intention of His Highness?"

Xiao Yu'an didn't answer, so Yiren answered for him, "Your Highness's original intention is to ask for a fair and just court, to give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous world, and to be a gentleman praised by everyone for the rest of your life." ”

Xiao Yu'an's fingers gradually clenched, and he turned to look at her, "His Royal Highness's refusal to agree is nothing more than a fear of disappointing everyone, disappointing himself, and losing his original intention." ”

The leaves are flying, everything in the palace is calm, and the emperor who thinks about the people has since fallen, half a lifetime of hard work, and a few strokes end in the history books that no one reads.

Xiao Yuanqing knelt in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window, the moon was full, and he was wearing a dragon robe, planning a unique plan.

Ye Feng surrounded the palace, the news could not be transmitted, Xiao Ye and Gao Qing didn't know what was going on in the palace, they listened to their father's words, and led people to control the prince's mansion in advance, creating the illusion that the prince was rebelling.

There was no signal in the palace for a long time, and I only saw someone leading troops into the palace, and they did not dare to do anything outside in ambush.

The prince's mansion was in chaos, the crown princess Gao Ling was in control of the overall situation, seeing that the side concubine was bleeding profusely, and a basin of hot water stained with red blood was sent out, giving people a nervous feeling, Xiao Yu'an held the princess's hand nervously, although he didn't understand, but he also knew that the atmosphere was solemn, standing quietly aside with a wrinkled face, and comforting his mother.

Gao Ling knew that there were people outside who coveted the Prince's Mansion, and she also knew that this was her mother's family, but it was ridiculous that as her mother's family, she was calculating him all her life, and she was trying to calculate her son.

She listened to the cry of despair inside, and two tears crossed her, "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" ”

Before the next person arrived, a long bell rang from the direction of the palace, Gao Ling staggered, looking at the direction of the palace in a daze, and everyone also looked in that direction, and they all knelt down, only Gao Ling and Xiao Yu'an were still standing.

"It's out, it's out! The side concubine is born!"

At the same time, a fire appeared in the sky, and Xiao Ye saw the signal and took the lead in leading people to surround the prince's mansion.

There was silence in the room, there was no sound of newborn babies crying, only whimpering cries, Gao Ling led Xiao Yu'an to the door, looking at the lifeless baby in the arms of the midwife, and finally did not stand firmly.

"How so?"

The royal heirs of the past dynasties are thin, and only the queen Gao can feast, so Concubine De, the child, has been carefully taken care of since she was conceived, and her three meals a day are personally watched by her, but she still hasn't kept it.

The soothing incense she ordered was refined by the masters, and the fetus was suffocated in the womb, Gao Ling watched all this helplessly, crying silently, why is this still the case?

In order to control the court and prevent the prince from distracting his power, the hundred officials murdered His Majesty's heirs, and the heirs of the emperors of all dynasties were strangled by the hundred officials with various accidents before they were born, only the Gao family has one line, in order to stabilize the position, all the time, the prince is from the Gao family, which is the tacit contract of the Xiao and Gao families.

In order to protect this child, Gao Ling, Concubine De spent almost all her efforts, but now she still hasn't kept it.

Xiao Ye has already surrounded the courtyard with people, in order to save a face for Gaoling, they did not lead the troops to break through, the bell rang from the palace, Emperor Xiaoxuan died, if King Rui succeeded, they would not release the signal, it can only mean that their plan failed, Xiao Ye planned to hold the prince's mansion hostage and Xiao Yuanqing to negotiate conditions, as long as they take Xiao Yuanqing in the first step, it is only a matter of time before he is overthrown.

Xiao Ye and Gao Qing understood this in their hearts, Xiao Yuanqing also understood, Gao Ling understood, and Concubine De also understood.

Concubine De was born extremely beautiful, is a famous beauty in Kyoto, cold temperament, once married into the prince's mansion, became the canary in the prince's mansion, but the heart is ambitious, I hope that all women in the world are equal, can enter the subject examination, can also participate in politics and enter the office, is a strange woman in the mouth.

Gao Ling is just a competent crown princess, she doesn't love Xiao Yuanqing, but she knows that she has to help him succeed, she has been taught by her aunt since she was a child, and she knows what her family is doing, she looked at the woman lying in the room, and felt a sense of guilt and powerlessness, he didn't know how to face her.

"Crown Princess, please come in, Chang'er has something to say to you."

A weak voice came from within, and Gao Ling stepped in with heavy steps.

She stood at the head of her bed, looking at this beautiful fragile woman, and wept silently.

Li Chang's eyes were blank, his eyes stared straight at the roof, and he said coldly: "If Niangniang feels ashamed, please remember my appearance."

She turned her head and smiled weakly, "The prince and the prince's mansion are still waiting for you." ”

Gao Ling didn't know how she had the courage to come out, she held a sword in her hand, and led people to confront Xiao Ye in front of the courtyard, "Say it again, let my people out." ”

"Crown princess, why are you stubborn, that child can't live, and the elixir can't save him when it comes."

The cold in the north is the kind of pain that scrapes people's skin, blowing on the face, like someone else slapping the big ear, and the whole cheek is also red.

Yiren buried his whole head in his hat, his neck shrunk in his cloak, and took Seventeen's hand and walked forward with difficulty, "What are you bringing me here for the night?" ”

After she drank the warm tea, she was about to fall asleep, but Seventeen suddenly jumped in the window, put the cloak on her and took her out, and led her up the hill without saying anything.

In the dark sky, she didn't hold the lamp, nor did she hold an umbrella, she took her hand and climbed up, Yi's body was just right, and when she walked down, she was already sweating lightly, and when she stopped, she put her hands on her knees and panted rapidly.

"What the hell are you doing, if you can't tell you why, I'll spare ......."
