Emperor Hong Zheng looked at the child, and suddenly sighed and said, "The Queen Mother, Zhang Huai and Yang Chi, have already been punished. They have also done great things in this battle, and I can't just put them to death. ”

The Queen Mother did not answer immediately, but rested for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, what did the prince say?" ”

Emperor Hong Zheng hesitated a little and said: "It was because the prince traced it out and found that Zhang Huai and Yang Chi were greedy for merit last time, which caused them to be unable to return to help, and Xiao Yao disappeared." So I went to the fold to plead my case, hoping to punish them severely and vent my anger for Mingzhu. ”

As he spoke, Emperor Hong Zheng paused and said, "It's just that I can't ignore their military exploits because of Mingzhu. ”

The Queen Mother was silent, and Emperor Hong Zheng accompanied her and said carefully: "Queen Mother, do you see if you can let them make a mistake and cut off their positions, and then save their lives?" ”

"Emperor, it stands to reason that the harem can't interfere in politics, and it's not the turn of the mourning family to talk about this. But Xiao Yao is the generalissimo, and because of their guilt, Xiao Yao's life and death are unknown. If you can't fight with your life, is it too unfair to Xiao Yao? ”

When the Queen Mother said this, she meant that she wanted to track it down to the end and fight for her life.

Emperor Hong Zheng was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't accept it in one go, so he could only say: "Then I and the prince will discuss it again, and the queen mother will also discuss it with Mingzhu." If Mingzhu can spare their lives, in other aspects, I can make up for it. ”

Gu Fanghua listened to it, and knew that Emperor Hong Zheng would not make a move on Yang Chi and Zhang Huai now, so as not to chill the hearts of other meritorious ministers.

After thinking for a while, he said to Lu Ju: "You go out to tell the Queen Mother and the Emperor, now Xiao Yao has no whereabouts, and I don't want their lives for the time being." If it is determined that Xiao Yao is dead, it is not too late to settle the score. ”

Green Ju went out, and after reporting according to what Gu Fanghua said, Emperor Hong Zheng stretched his brows.

smiled: "Yes, now that Xiao Yao's whereabouts are unknown, I still have their heads on my head for the time being." If Xiao Yao is recovered, then the death penalty will be forgiven. If Xiao Yao can't be found, then I won't interfere with what Mingzhu wants to do with it in the future. ”

Gu Fanghua was in the room and said loudly: "Thank you Uncle Emperor." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong moved her lips, but in the end she didn't speak, just held Xiao Ziyuan's hand tighter.

After Emperor Hong Zheng left, Empress Dowager Zhong came to the inner room and took the child to the nurse. Then sat on the edge of Gu Fanghua's bed and said softly, "Can you put it down?" ”

"Grandmother, I didn't say I was going to let it go. It's only now that Brother Rong Ling has made great achievements. If I have to hold on to them, if I have to kill them, it will make the emperor's uncle too embarrassed. ”

Gu Fanghua thought, with Ye Thirteen here, maybe there will be news of Xiao Yao soon.

Empress Dowager Zhong couldn't tell Gu Fanghua that Xiao Yao's cold quenching knife had been found, and Xiao Yao couldn't come back. Fortunately, even if Yang Chi and Zhang Huai escaped now, it would be easy to kill them in the future.

"It's okay, just pray for Xiao Yao. Soon the crown prince will return to the court, and your father will also return, and maybe he will be able to catch the full moon feast. ”

Gu Fanghua closed her eyes and blinked back the tears in her eyes.

She believed that Xiao Yao must not be dead yet, and he had not seen the child yet. And he promised himself that he would accompany him to old age, how could he be willing to leave like this?

What's more, in the previous life, Xiao Yao's death was solved early, and he would definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune.

"Okay, grandmother, wait for my father to come back, and then have a full moon banquet."

At Yumen Pass, Yan Rongling had already packed everything and was ready to return to Beijing. He left Yang Yin behind, temporarily commanded Yumen Pass, and waited for him to return to Beijing to explain to his father in person, and then issued a letter of dismissal.

In addition to the fact that Yang Yin's identity is unknown now, the main reason is that he wants to stay here and continue to look for Xiao Yao.

Before finding Xiao Yao's body, Yan Rongling didn't want to let down his vigilance.

Even if there is only one in 10,000 chance, Yan Rongling will strangle this opportunity in the cradle. Xiao Yao must not be allowed to return to Beijing alive.

Gu Yuma came to the courtyard where Yan Rongling lived, and after the waiter reported, Yan Rongling personally greeted him.

Said respectfully: "Uncle, what's the matter, you asked people to come over and say, why did you come here in person?" Inside, please, Xiao Chengzi, soak the monkey kui brought from the capital. ”

Gu Dian looked at the diligent Yan Rongling, and the taste in his heart was a little complicated.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very polite, I just want to ask, when the army returns to the court, who will temporarily hand over the Yumen Pass to manage?"

After Yan Rongling asked Gu Dian to sit down, he sat at the end and replied, "Uncle, I know that you must also want to go back to Beijing to see the pearl as soon as possible." Therefore, I want to leave Yang Yin in Yumen Pass for the time being. ”

"Yang Yin? Is it Yang Yin, who made a miraculous achievement this time, and once lurked in the Liao tribe? He is? ”

Gu Dian thought that it would be Zhang Huai or Yang Chi, who stayed at Yumen Pass, but he didn't expect it to be the little-known Yang Yin. I don't know where this Yang Yin is sacred?

Yan Rongling did not hide it, because Yang Yin's life experience will eventually be revealed to the world.

"Uncle, Yang Yin is my cousin, he is the concubine of the Yang family, and he has been lurking in the grassland, just to get the distribution map of the Liao people's troops. This time he was able to smash Huanglong, and he made the first contribution. It's just~"

Yan Rongling said this, a little embarrassed: "It's just that he was not born high, and his mother's identity is too low." So I have to go back to Beijing to tell my father and see if I can let him inherit the title of Dingguo Mansion as appropriate. ”

All kinds of thoughts in Gu Dian's heart turned, and many things that he couldn't figure out before have now found answers.

No wonder Xiao Yao was assassinated many times in Yumen Pass, no wonder the Liao people were able to cooperate inside and outside and break into Yumen Pass. No wonder Xiao Yao's formation diagram was leaked, and no wonder Yan Rongling could easily win a big victory.

It turned out that it was all because of Yang Yin!

Because he has the connections of several generations of the Yang family in his hands, because he is Yan Rongling's secret chess. Maybe it's him who harmed Xiao Yao!

In the end, Gu Dian suppressed his anger and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arranged it, then I have no opinion." But Mingzhu had already written to say that Ye Shisan had returned to Yumen Pass and would continue to look for Xiao Yao. Look~"

Yan Rongling immediately said: "Uncle don't worry, I also told Yang Yin not to give up looking for Xiao Yao." If there is Ye 13 with him, I believe there will be good news soon. ”

After Gu Dian said what he meant, he didn't want to be with Yan Rong Ling for a long time, so he got up and said goodbye.

Yan Rongling hurriedly said: "This time, Yumen Pass is thanks to my uncle guarding it. The father's meaning is that after returning to the dynasty, the meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and the uncle should be credited with the first meritorious service. ”

Gu Dian sighed, looked at Yan Rongling and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm ashamed to say that I came to Yumen Pass to take care of Xiao Yao for Mingzhu." Unexpectedly, I lost Xiao Yao. Now that I'm back in Beijing, I don't know how to explain to Mingzhu, let alone any credit. ”
