Chu Yan stood aside and watched, thinking that this should be the last time he entered the palace, in this life, it was also the last time he saw his father, he would be limited to Bintian in the future, and he would not come back.

An edict of abdication, the emperor spent twelve points of effort and two or three cups of tea to write.

After he finished writing, Chu Yan accepted the edict of abdication and said to Zhang De, "You tell the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

Zhang De looked at Chu Yan in surprise.

Chu Yan said, "If you don't want to be old, you can follow me." ”

"Chu Yan!" The Emperor was furious, "I'm going to kill this dog!" You...... You dare to let him go! ”

Gonggong Zhang immediately knelt on the ground, "The old slave is homeless, and I am willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future." ”

Chu Yan took the edict of abdication and walked out of the emperor's dormitory, signaling Gonggong Zhang to follow.

Gonggong Zhang kowtowed to the emperor and said sincerely, "The old slave once planned to serve His Majesty for the rest of his life, but what His Majesty did made the old slave feel ashamed. Today, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the old slave a chance, the old slave followed His Royal Highness the Prince. Your Majesty will control your temper in the future and sit down with your Emperor Taishang! In fact, from the old slave's point of view, Lord An Xiaojun can no longer care about it after you issue the edict of abdication, which is already lenient, and in terms of what you do, the cultivation of monks is light. You can do it for yourself in the future! ”

Gonggong Zhang threw down these words, got up neatly, and followed Chu Yan out of the emperor's bedroom.

In vain, the emperor scolded with great hatred.

When Gonggong Zhang leaves, there will naturally be newcomers who will be transferred to serve the emperor, and as for the dedication to serving, I will say that there are two things.

After leaving the emperor's dormitory, Gonggong Zhang looked at Chu Yan who was walking in front, chased after him for two steps, stopped, knelt on the ground, hung his head and said, "Your Highness, the old slave has something to inform Your Highness." ”

"Say." Chu Yan stopped.

"Old slave, old slave took refuge in Gu Qigongzi many years ago."

Chu Yan smiled, "I know, you want to go to him." ”

Gonggong Zhang raised his head, looked at Chu Yan and shook his head, "The old slave just told His Highness that the seventh prince is surrounded by talents, and the old slave will only serve people, and nothing else." ”

"He is a very particular person, he doesn't need you to serve, he is a person who is used to being used to around him." Chu Yan said, "I don't need you to serve either." If you don't want to return to your hometown, go to the queen mother's side to serve! The queen mother will go to Nanyang, and you should go to Nanyang with you. ”

Seeing that Chu Yan was not punished, Gonggong Zhang immediately thanked him, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave is willing to go to the queen's side to serve." ”

Chu Yan nodded, "You clean up and leave the palace with me!" ”

Father-in-law Zhang should be.

Chu Yan instructed people to announce the emperor's abdication edict to the world, and sure enough, the scolding of the people suddenly became much smaller.

Chu Xian immediately found Chu Yan and frowned, "Why don't you let Your Majesty write in the abdication edict that the biography is located in you?" ”

Chu Yan asked rhetorically, "Big brother thinks, what is the difference between him writing and not writing?" ”

"There is a difference, naturally. Since ancient times, the name of the throne has been justified. ”

"Then the big brother might as well think about it from another angle, I don't want to take over this position from him, isn't it good to sit on it myself?" Chu Yan looked at him.

Chu Xian was stunned for a moment and was silent, "It's not bad." ”

"That's it, so, that's good." Chu Yan said, "Next, I will go outside the city to get acquainted with the Nanyang Army for a few days, and the affairs of the government will be bothered by the eldest brother in the future." ”

Chu Xian nodded, "Don't worry, I have an unshirkable responsibility, and I will do my best to stabilize the supergang for you, so that the front line has no worries." ”

"Well, when my cousin leaves Beijing, Gu Qingyan will enter the court to help you, with him, the eldest brother will not be too tired." Chu Yan smiled, "There are also officials in the court, if the eldest brother thinks that he has to use it, he will use it, and if he can't use it, he will kick it out of the court, and my people will be left to the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will choose the best to use it, if there is something that is not good, just dispose of it." ”

Chu Xian nodded, always feeling that something was not right, and looked at Chu Yan, "Seventh brother, the little county lord said that the war will not drag on for too long. You...... You'd better take everyone with you! ”

"A bunch of Zi Wenchen, it's useless for me to carry it. It's better to let them play their part. Chu Yan said, "On the battlefield, what you want is a general." ”

Chu Xian thought about it, so he could only agree, "Okay." ”

After the two brothers discussed it properly, Chu Yan mentioned that Zhang Zaifu openly exposed his identity and asked His Majesty to kill the second prince, although it was just a guess, but Zhang Zaifu's move was not normal, there must be an inside story, Chu Xian also looked solemn,

Chu Yan ordered someone to call Chu Chen, Chu Chen came soon, and when he heard that the Zhang family was going to be re-investigated, he was also stunned for a while, and agreed.

On this day, for the people of Great Chu, it was the abdication of the faint monarch who had been in power for 20 years, which was gratifying, and for Chu Yan, it was the last time to see the emperor, and it was to make an explanation to Chu Xian in a vague way.

And for An Huajin, who has laid out all this, it is just a result. She sat around the stove with Gu Qingyan, boiling plum with warm wine, and heard that the emperor had written an edict of abdication, but she didn't make the slightest wave.

Three days later, the news of the Southern Qi and Southern Liang Xingbing Mobei reached the capital, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

As early as the court, Chu Yan mentioned that he took 300,000 Nanyang troops to Mobei, but was opposed by a group of courtiers. The emperor has abdicated, and the prince wants to ascend the throne as soon as possible, how can he personally conquer Mobei?

Chu Yan pushed aside the public opinion and made a decree, His Royal Highness supervised the country, and Gu Qingyan assisted the government.

Whether it was Chu Xian or Gu Qingyan, they all received the will, and the courtiers could only stop fighting.

So, on the same day, Chu Yan took 300,000 Nanyang troops, accompanied by Anping and led by Su Han, bid farewell to the courtiers and went to Mobei.

Outside the city, An Huajin said goodbye to Chu Yan, "I have told my seventh cousin what I should say, so I won't say more, in short, you stick to Mobei, I and Wang Anzhi captured the capital of Southern Qi and Southern Liang, and we drink celebration wine in Nanyang?" ”

Chu Yan was arrogant for a moment, "Okay! ”

He looked at An Huajin, "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you have to protect yourself, you have to know that if something happens to you, none of us will have a good time." ”

Anhua brocade bowed, "Seventh cousin, don't worry, you too, aunt and cousin and I will be waiting for you in Nanyang." ”

Chu Yan nodded solemnly.

An Yining stepped forward and hugged Chu Yan, "Uncle Cousin, you have to come back safely, Ning'er will recite the Peace Sutra to you every day." ”

Chu Yan smiled and nodded, rubbed An Yining's head, and hugged him, "Okay." ”

The courtiers stood at the gate of the city and watched Chu Yan leave with 300,000 soldiers and horses, and at this time they seemed to suddenly understand why the county lord An Xiaojun would bring 300,000 soldiers and horses to Beijing, it turned out that they had already received the news of the Southern Qi and Southern Liang Xing soldiers, and these 300,000 soldiers and horses were prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to rescue Mobei?

For a while, I admired and secretly sighed at An Huajin's powerful calculations.

What these 300,000 soldiers and horses did was really counted in one fell swoop, first forced marriage, and then let His Majesty issue an edict of abdication, and then the final goal was directed at Mobei.

After Chu Yan left, An Huajin also set a departure tomorrow.

Gu Qingyan was reluctant to put himself in An Huajin's pocket and let her take it away, he hugged An Huajin, always working hard and not letting go, his chin rested on her shoulder, and he was depressed.

An Huajin was helpless after being hugged for an hour, turned his face to face him, and asked with a smile, "How can I coax you so that you can be happier?" ”

"I can't be happy no matter how much I coax it." Gu Qingyan's tone was sullen.

An Huajin teased him, "Then I'll take you away?" ”

Gu Qingyan's eyes lit up, "I can't ask for it." ”

An Huajin was amused, stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, "Compared to our long life in the future, the current year and a half is nothing, get busy, time will pass quickly." ”

Gu Qingyan was still not happy, "Actually, if Wang An knows, I can too, and it is the same if he stays in the capital." ”

An Huajin smiled, "He has been away for four years, and there are a lot of places to use, besides, people like him, if he stays in the capital, I am afraid that he will stumble behind my back, and I am most assured to hand over my back to you." ”

Gu Qingyan suddenly lost his temper and whispered, "Actually, I don't worry about handing over your back to others, but I can't bear it." ”

An Huajin laughed.

Gu Qingyan sighed lightly, his tone was thick of helplessness, and his eyes were endless, "Since ancient times, it has been the husband who has gone to the battlefield, and his wife Yin Yin told him to look forward to coming to me, and on the other hand, grandpa said that I was not promising, and it was not wrong, I was indeed unproductive." ”

An Huajin retorted, "No, this capital, if only His Royal Highness can turn around, only if you are there, this capital will be safe and stable." ”

Gu Qingyan also laughed, "You praise me like this, I feel more comfortable." ”

An Huajin also smiled, she was not wrong. What Gu Qingyan is suitable for is to live in the temple and settle the world.
