Chapter 104: The Emperor's Suspicion
Rong Yan listened to Yueqing's words, but responded lightly, and after reading the content of the holy decree, he said: "Since my father has a decree, all the troops are stationed outside the city. ”
"Your Highness!" Yueqing shouted anxiously.
Rong Yan extended the past, and the Qi Nian Palace had to say nothing.
Zhao Yunling rode a few steps forward: "I am in charge of grain and grass on this trip, and I have to enter the city to report to the emperor on grain and grass matters, it should be possible to go to the capital, is it true that only the Third Highness will be allowed to go in?" ”
The general guarding the city naturally would not stop it, and the holy decree only said that the army could not be in the capital, but Zhao Yunling was strictly speaking just a businessman, even if he was temporarily acting as an agent to take care of the food and grass of the grain, but it was nothing, and he was quickly relieved, except for the two of them, even Yueqing was stopped outside the city gate.
After entering the city, Zhao Yunling couldn't help but say: "Now it looks more like martial law in the whole city, and even the generals didn't follow in, I'm afraid there is something wrong in the palace?" ”
"I knew it wouldn't be so peaceful when I came back, but now it seems to be over." Rong Yan said that the net was received and looked at it twice, but he didn't see anything wrong, he retracted his gaze: "You should have stayed outside the city just now, follow me in, there will be a lot of danger." ”
"It's all the same, if something happens to you in the city, it will not be peaceful outside the city, and those low-level soldiers may not be able to do anything, but high-ranking generals may be implicated, and I am naturally within the scope of involvement, and it is impossible for the five princes to let me go alone."
While talking, the two went to Miyagi, the closer they got to Miyagi, the more they gradually got down, and when they got to the outside of the project, Zhao Yunling and Rong Yan got off their horses, and when they were in the capital, they were questioned again, and Zhao Yunling was almost blocked out, and finally reluctantly entered.
On the palace road, Rong Yan frowned and lowered his voice: "Now this posture, I'm afraid that there is something wrong with my father, if the court has been controlled by the fifth brother now, you should pay attention to these for a while, just pay attention to protect yourself." ”
"Okay."
Zhao Yunling pursed his lips, and the two walked through the long palace road, until they reached the front of the hall, and saw the guards guarding outside the hall, Zhao Yunling subconsciously moved two steps to Rong Yan's side, and grabbed Rong Yan's hand.
Rong Yan had to stop: "What? ”
Zhao Yunling had never been to the palace before, and she didn't know what the palace was on guard at that time, but looking at it now, these guards were heavily guarded, and the armor on her body was annoyed by the cold light, she pursed her lips: "On weekdays, the same is true in the palace?" Like ready to arrest? ”
Rong Yan glanced over there, and then he understood what he was worried about, in fact, these Praetorian Guards were nothing, and the assassination was enough at that time, and the public was much more vigilant than before.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Zhao Yunling was still not at ease in her heart, although she had never seen the old emperor, but she was already dissatisfied with the matter of grain and grass this time, and it may not be the old emperor who was in charge now.
worriedly, he followed Rong Yan through the palace gate and entered inside.
There are also guards in the palace, there are no courtiers, only the five princes stand on the side, after Rong Yan and Zhao Yunling came in together, the five princes said with a smile on their faces: "The third emperor brother has made a great contribution this time, the younger brother congratulates the third emperor brother first." ”
"Not necessarily." Rong Yan's expression was faint.
Seeing that the emperor sitting at the top did not have any spirit, but a clear mind, thinking of the grain and grass that had not been to the frontier before, as well as the holy decree that he was holding in his hand now, Rong Yan pinched the holy decree's hand tightly.
The old emperor didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with Rong Yan, and said with a smile: "The third child has indeed made a great contribution this time. ”
"Father, the son was able to repel the Hu people this time, all thanks to Miss Zhao's family property, and she ran around to persuade a few merchants to ensure that the grain and grass were not cut off, so that there is today, otherwise those soldiers may have starved to death on the frontier again." Rong Yan said.
Rong Yan didn't hide it at all when he said these words, just said it directly, the emperor and the five princes both changed their faces slightly, the five princes were much more comfortable, the emperor's face was a little bad, he glanced at Zhao Yunling, and heard the third child say that this was a girl, but it was completely a man's dress, and he looked forward to Shenfei between his eyebrows.
Don't care about the rest of the things at this time, this Zhao Yunling can also be regarded as a meritorious person.
The old emperor was silent for a while, and directly bypassed Rong Yan's question of the imperial court not giving grain and grass, and said: "This girl has a great ability, since it is a meritorious service, then it should naturally be rich in business, and there is a precedent for women to be officials in our dynasty, how about I make you the central order?" ”
Zhao Yunling was not very clear about the ancient control system, seeing the old emperor smiling, thinking about his identity, even if he made a meritorious service, his official position could not be too high, and Rong Yan frowned slightly, Zhao Yunling Zhengxiang refused and felt Rong Yan look over to her, and nodded slightly.
Zhao Yunling immediately understood, his face was unbearable, and he didn't doubt it immediately.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." 2018
"Get up."
After listening to the old emperor's words, Zhao Yunling got up and stood beside Rong Yan, the hall was silent for a while, and Rong Yan said again: "Father, when the sons and daughters entered the city before, the general guarding the city said that it was the father's decree that all generals were not allowed to enter the city, is this true?" ”
The old emperor's smile just now stiffened in an instant, he squinted at Rong Yan, and said lightly: "It's my will." ”
There was already some coolness in the emperor's tone, and Rong Yan naturally noticed it, but the soldiers were fighting bloodily in front, and now they finally came back but didn't let them go back, so they were placed outside the city, regardless of the reward, he naturally wanted to ask a few more words.
When he wanted to speak, the fifth prince suddenly stood up: "Third Emperor Brother, don't ask your father about this matter yet, my brother has one more thing he wants to ask you." ”
The fifth prince suddenly spoke, Rong Yan frowned dissatisfiedly, and looked over to Rong Yan.
Rong Yu smiled and said: "Brother Three Emperors, I just think that since the Hu people had already been defeated at that time, and as far as I know, Yi Kuo, the leader of the Hu people, and many Hu people were captured, why didn't the Three Emperor Brothers cut the grass and eradicate the roots but put Yi Kuo back?" Don't the three emperor brothers know that this is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain? ”
As soon as these words came out, the old emperor, who was already suspicious, instantly fell on Rong Yan's body, but he didn't say anything.
Rong Yan's eyes narrowed: "Fifth brother thinks, what should I do at that time?" ”
"I think that the royal brother should cut the grass and eradicate the roots, what's the matter, the Hu people have no leader, the third brother can take the opportunity to create the Hu people, so that she doesn't dare to do it again, the three lack of wine are so easy to let go, which is really puzzling." Rong Yu said with a smile.
"I also want to kill Yi Kuo, and the Hu people who hit him directly have no power to fight back, but at that time, the grain and grass were almost cut off, I want to ask, where is the grain and grass in the capital that said that Yunqi is going to be transported?"
"Didn't the third brother say just now, the girl next to you has guaranteed the food and grass of the army, and the father has rewarded him for this, and now he is talking about the cut off of grain and grass, isn't it unreasonable?" Rong Qian is still smiling.
Rong Yan frowned: "Although Miss Zhao can maintain her energy, the imperial court should take out grain and grass, she has already taken out all the family property, no matter how difficult it is to maintain, if it can be maintained, how can it be such a result?" The fifth brother didn't do anything in the court, and he didn't go to urge the grain and grass? When I was on the sidelines, I asked countless times to send grain and grass and a doctor, but did the court respond at all? ”
"The fifth prince wants to let the horses run again, and don't let the horses eat grass." Zhao Yunling added a faint sentence next to him.
Rong Yu's face changed: "Looking for a girl, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Where am I talking nonsense, didn't the fifth prince mean that just now? I want to let the Third Highness do something again, and I refuse to do anything, I have never seen such a shameless person. “
"Enough!"
The emperor finally couldn't help but yell, looking down with a bad face, Zhao Yunling also immediately stood aside, lowered his head without saying a word, and glanced at Rong Yan proudly, but soon put his cousin away.
The emperor's eyes looked at Rong Yan for a long time before he said: "Third brother, I know that you have worked hard this time, since you have worked hard, stay in the palace to recuperate first, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Father!"
"This matter is settled, you don't have to say it anymore, the rest and personal affairs will naturally be dealt with, you go down first."
The emperor got up directly and went to the apse, Zhao Yunling looked at this scene, and was angry in his heart, the old emperor denied all the attacks that Rong Yan fought the battlefield because of a few words from the five princes, and still suspected that Rong Yan and Hu Ren had colluded?
It seems that the emperor's trust in the five princes is really incredible, of course, it is also possible that the old emperor himself is not worried about Rong Yan, so he selectively believes the words of the five princes.
After the emperor left, Rong Yu walked up to the two of them and said with a smile: "The three emperor brothers are going to live in the palace during this time, and congratulations on finding the girl." ”
Zhao Yunling looked at her expressionlessly, Rong Yan quickly turned around and left, and after leaving, Rong Yan squeezed Zhao Yunling's hand and said softly: "This kind of scene is better than I thought, my father has always been suspicious of me, this is nothing, I just live in the palace for a while, it will be fine, you go out of the palace first." ”
After speaking, he said: "It's just that now that you have an official position on your body, I'm afraid you can't go to Tianyuan Town at will, and let Yueqing send you a letter back." ”
"Then you ...... in the palace"
Zhao Yunling frowned and looked at Rong Yan.
What she is most worried about is that Rong Yan is in the palace, looking at the emperor's appearance today, she is very suspicious of Rong Yan, and she is afraid that this matter will not be so easy to turn over.
