Could it be ...... Geng Hai couldn't help but think of a possibility in his heart, his body stiffened like a stone carving, and he looked at Yuan Weigang in disbelief.

The firearm in Yuan Weigang's hand had already been handed over to his own soldiers, and he turned around and took two steps forward in stride, and saluted Cen Yin respectfully with his fists: "See Lord Cen Governor." ”

Cen Yin lifted off his black cloak, raised his hand casually, and signaled Yuan Weigang to excuse himself, "Commander Yuan, thank you for your hard work." ”

It really is! Geng Hai stared at Cen Yin in surprise, his eyes were almost stunned to the extreme, his eyes were bloodshot and red.

"Hahaha......"

Geng Hai suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, his wild laughter echoed in the valley, and a sarcastic smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, "Yuan Weigang, you actually took refuge in a eunuch!" ”

It turned out that Yuan Weigang did not take refuge in the emperor, but actually took refuge in a eunuch.

"Hahahaha......"

Geng Hai laughed hysterically, looking at Yuan Weigang's gaze as if he was looking at a fool.

What is the future of a eunuch, and what good end can a powerful eunuch in history have?! Yuan Weigang was so short-sighted!

Geng Hai laughed madly, in comparison, Cen Yin and Yuan Weigang were so calm, the clouds were light and light, in their eyes, Geng Hai was no different from a dead man.

"Grandpa Guo, everyone has their own ambitions." Yuan Weigang said meaningfully, he casually raised his hand and made a gesture, and his personal soldiers immediately understood what he meant, and slashed it with one palm......

Geng Hai, who was laughing wildly, rolled his eyes, his body fell straight back, the boundless darkness quickly shrouded him, and his consciousness gradually faded away, he only vaguely heard Cen Yin's soft and cold voice coming from near and far: "Commander Yuan, it's up to you to deal with ...... here."

Cen Yin's voice was quickly swallowed up by the darkness, Geng Hai couldn't hear anything, and his consciousness was completely sunk into the darkness, like falling into the abyss......

When Geng Hai woke up again, it was dark, cold and wet all around, and an unpleasant musty smell rushed straight to the tip of his nose, and there was a throbbing pain in the back of his neck.

Geng Hai frowned, got up and sat up, the shackles on his hands and feet making a loud metal crashing sound.

Geng Hai raised his eyes and looked at the fence in front of him, his face sinking like water.

Obviously, this is a cell, a cell that does not see the light of day.

It was dark, there were no windows, no candles, and he didn't even know if it was day or night.

The memories before fainting rushed towards Geng Hai like a tide, and the scene seemed to be still in front of him, his face was extremely ugly, and there was hardly any blood.

Until he was in prison at this moment, Geng Hai still couldn't believe that at the last moment, it was Yuan Weigang who betrayed him, and Yuan Weigang actually took refuge in Cen Yin.

I trusted him so much, regarded him as the first confidant, and even told him such a confidential thing, but I didn't expect to see the wrong person......

Geng Hai's mind couldn't help but think of many years ago, sixteen years ago, Yuan Weigang was embarrassed by Shangguan and put the blame for the failure of the bandit on him, he helped Yuan Weigang at the beginning, and Yuan Weigang vowed to repay him with his life.

In the past sixteen years, Yuan Weigang has saved Geng Hai on the battlefield several times, and even once a stray arrow hit Yuan Weigang in the chest, almost hitting the heart, and he died.

Therefore, Geng Hai has always trusted Yuan Weigang the most, but he didn't expect that even a friend who had passed his life might stab himself at the most critical moment!

Geng Hai's eyes seemed to be raging with a storm, and his fists were clenched tightly.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a slight light outside the cell, and there was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance, and someone was walking towards it.

Outside the cell, it grew brighter and brighter, and the sound of footsteps became clearer.

A familiar red figure entered Geng Hai's field of vision, Cen Yin was holding an octagonal palace lamp in his hand, the palace lamp emitted a brilliant glow that illuminated most of the cell, and also plated a layer of orange light on Cen Yin's beautiful face.

"How is Grandpa Guo?" Cen looked at Geng Hai, who was only separated from him by a wooden fence, with a hint of evil in his expression, "What does it feel like to be betrayed by someone you trust?!" ”

In this dark cell, Cen Yin didn't look like a mortal, more like a ghostly fox monster coming from the shadows.

There were two people behind him, standing two or three feet away not far away, and the dim light faintly illuminated the face of one of them, it was Yuan Weigang.

As soon as he saw Yuan Weigang, the anger in Geng Hai's heart surged up again, rushing straight to his head, burning with anger, burning him almost out of his mind.

"Yuan Weigang, my father treats you well, you actually betray the master!" Geng Hai's right hand passed through the gap in the fence and pointed at Yuan Weigang, who was two feet away, and angrily reprimanded, "You are a two-faced villain! You actually threw yourself into Cen Yin, a eunuch, and would rather be a eunuch's lackey!! Do you think anything will happen to a traitor like you?! ”

Yuan Weigang stood motionless, looking at Geng Hai with an indifferent expression, and let Geng Hai insult him, he was as immobile as a mountain, and his face did not change.

After Geng Hai said enough, Yuan Weigang said calmly: "My master has never been you, nor is it Lord Cen Du. He looked at Geng Hai in the cell with a look of contempt and pity.

If it's not Cen Yin, who would it be?! Geng Hai was stunned, and subconsciously looked at the other person behind Yuan Weigang, the other party's long and straight figure was shrouded in dark shadows, he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but he vaguely felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

His instincts told him that he knew this person and was not a stranger.

Geng Hai looked at Yuan Weigang again, and couldn't help but think of the scene that happened in the valley again, which was a well-planned trap that used the fire gun to paralyze his carelessness, so that he would let Yuan Weigang's people enter the valley without warning, so that he would be defeated......

Geng Hai seemed to have been hit by something for a moment, his eyes widened.

Firecracker.

The key to this is firecrackers.

Yuan Weigang said before that the batch of firecrackers was secretly sent to the south by Feng Yan, if the firecrackers were a trap, then "Feng Yan" was Yuan Weigang's excuse, or was it ......

He couldn't help but remember that the reason why he chose to leave Beijing today was precisely because Feng Yan took the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to make trouble, which made the situation in the capital even more chaotic, making him feel that this was an excellent time......

Could it be ......

A certain possibility appeared in Geng Hai's heart, and when his gaze moved to the vaguely described person behind Yuan Weigang again, he suddenly understood, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head, his whole body was cold, and his heart was like a mirror.

"Feng Yan, you are Feng Yan." Geng Hai shouted out in a cold voice, his expression was cold, and his eyebrows were tightly locked, "Now that it's over, why are you hiding!" ”

Seal the flames! Now that Geng Hai thinks about it again, Feng Yan's various behaviors are clearly inviting you into the urn! And I fell for it!

In the next moment, the familiar laughter of the young man came from the darkness, like a breeze coming slowly.

The young man who was originally in the shadows took two steps forward leisurely, and Yuan Weigang turned slightly sideways and gave way to the young man with a respectful expression.

The young man walked leisurely into the dim light, and the description also clearly entered Geng Hai's eyes.

Feng Yan wore a simple black pigment face straight jacket, his long crow-like hair was tied high at the back of his head, and the corners of his mouth were pouted with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and between his steps, the sunny-like vitality unique to a teenager seemed to dispel the gloom in this cell a little.

Geng Hai looked at Feng Yan without blinking, he didn't want to believe it, but he also had to believe it, and there was a kind of sadness in his heart.

Sure enough, Yuan Weigang and Feng Yan, no, it should be said that it was Anping, colluded together. Yuan Weigang said that his master was not Cen Yin, then I am afraid it would be Anping.

In silence, Feng Yan walked to Cen Yin's side, and the two stood side by side, both looking down at Geng Hai who was sitting in the cell with a faint expression.

The two young men, one black and the other red, were as contradictory as darkness and light, and stood together at this time, but with a strange harmony.

Several railings separated the three people, and inside the cell and outside the cell were two worlds, the difference between heaven and earth, and the king and the king.

Silence spread through the darkness, no one spoke for a few moments, and time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Geng Hai looked at Feng Yan, and then at Cen Yin, his lips trembled violently, and then again.

Then, he smiled, just with a hideous smile.

The slightly jumping firelight in the lantern sprinkled on Geng Hai's bearded face, forming an eerie light and shadow that made him look like a demon.

He suddenly jumped up from the ground, grabbed the railing of the cell with both hands, the shackles on his hands and feet "clicked", gritted his teeth and said, "Cen Yin, you and An Ping are really together." You ......"

He paused, and the sound of his grinding teeth echoed in the silence of the cell, intermingling with the sound of the shackles, which seemed particularly harsh in this gloomy cell.

"You are indeed Xue Zhao." Geng Hai said slowly, his expression firm.

These simple six words almost used up the strength of Geng Hai's whole body.

Regarding the birthmark on Cen Yin's shoulder, although Geng Hai heard it from an old eunuch, but after the ceremony of the Huangjue Temple on the fifth day of April, Ashina repeatedly claimed that Xue Zhao, the prince of Zhenbei, did have a birthmark, and Geng Hai still had some doubts about Cen Yin's true identity in his heart, just because he and the emperor's January period were approaching, and he didn't have time to verify this matter for the time being.

He thought that if he took over the world anyway, whether Cen Yin was Xue Zhao or not, he would have to die!

And at this moment, thinking of the arrow scar on Cen Yin's left shoulder, and remembering the injury Cen Yin suffered in order to save the driver, Geng Hai suddenly understood. In order to hide his identity, Cen Yin actually destroyed his birthmark in this way!

Cen Yin was too cautious, if this scar was not left by the emperor, that day in the Huangjue Temple, the emperor probably would not fully believe Cen Yin, and the emperor would always have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Cen Yin's move was clearly not to leave the slightest clue that might reveal his identity!

Geng Hai stared at Cen Yin who was close at hand, like a beast like a flame, and couldn't help but say again: "You are really Xue Zhao!" ”

The other party has been planning for so many years, and it is no wonder that he lost......

Geng Hai's expression was complicated, and he said hoarsely: "You are so ruthless." ”

Yes, Cen Yin, no, Xue Zhao even did such a thing as self-harm, what else is it?!

Thinking about it, Geng Hai felt ridiculous again, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a sly smile mixed with ridicule and surprise, and sneered: "What if Xue Qiyuan knew that his only son had become a eunuch?!" ”

"Grandpa Guo, people die like lights go out." Cen Yin's feminine voice sounded leisurely, slowly.

This was the first sentence he said after meeting Geng Hai today, the meaning was unclear, but it was profound.

"I have never believed in the past and this life, and in what reincarnation should be repaid...... The debt of this world, this world. Cen Yin's expression and tone were so calm, as if Geng Hai was no different from the other prisoners he had dealt with, as if Geng Hai was just an ant worth mentioning.

Cen Yin never mentioned the word "Xue" from beginning to end, but hearing it in Geng Hai's ears meant that Cen Yin finally recognized his identity.

Geng Hai laughed again, the smile on his face was empty and crazy, his once shrewd eyes became cloudy, and he said coldly: "Back then, my father personally led troops into the north and slaughtered the Zhenbei Palace, leaving no chickens and dogs. ”

"Xue Zhao, do you know how your father died?! Hahaha, it was Ben Gong who killed it! It was Ben Gong who stabbed the knife into his chest with his own hands, and stabbed him again and again, and Ben Gong stabbed him ten times! It was also the Duke himself who cut off his head and brought it back to Beijing to present to the emperor. Your father's bones are incomplete, and he will be a headless ghost after death. ”

"And your mother...... Your mother is pregnant for seven months, that's one corpse and two lives. ”

"Xue Zhao, you can pick up a small life, Xue Qiyuan wants to pay a lot of price!"

"Hahaha, if he knew that his Xue family had broken his bloodline in the end, he was afraid that he would not rest in peace if he was a ghost in the underworld!!"

Geng Hai looked up to the sky and laughed nonstop, his hair was messily scattered, and he was quite happy in his heart: Xue Qiyuan, Xue Qiyuan, you think you are bright and bright, but in the end, your son became a ruthless Dongchang factory supervisor and was spurned by the world! In the future, your son will only be stinking for 10,000 years!

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!

Geng Hai took two steps back, and the empty laughter echoed in the cell for a long time.

The octagonal palace lamp in Cen Yin's hand shook slightly, the shaking light was reflected on his beautiful face, the light swayed, the corners of his slightly pursed lips tightened a little, and there was a faint trace of sharp aura on his body.

"I advise Grandpa Guo to worry about his own family affairs!" Feng Yan said slowly, his jet-black phoenix eyes shining as if they were embedded with broken gems in the light, "The Xue family still has a big brother, as for your Geng family, I'm afraid all the bones will be gone." ”

Geng Hai's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly looked at Feng Yan again, and in an instant, a light like a vulture burst out from his eyes.

Looking at Feng Yan's eyes, which were very similar to An Ping, Geng Hai's face changed pale and white, and a vague thought vaguely appeared in his heart, as if he was about to emerge from the thick fog...... Gone in a flash.

The corners of Feng Yan's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a cynical smile on his handsome face as usual, "Geng Hai, since you chose to betray the master at the beginning, then all this now should also be suffered by you." ”

"Don't worry, your Geng family will go down to accompany you one by one."

Feng Yan's voice became colder and colder, but the smile on his face became thicker and thicker, as bright as the sun.

"Feng Yan!" Geng Hai's pupils were covered with bloodshot like spider webs, the blue tendons on his forehead flared up, and he shouted angrily, "Even if you ruin the Geng family, or even destroy the emperor?!" Your surname is Feng, you are just the son of Anping, and you can't be the master of this world! ”

"Do you think Cen Yin ...... Will Xue Zhao really obey you?! He's just using you as a cover......"

As he spoke, Geng Hai's emotions became higher and higher, and his voice was as sharp as a sharp sword, charging on the battlefield, fighting, colliding, and indistinguishing between the enemy and me.

The corners of Feng Yan's lips hooked slightly, and he quietly looked at Geng Hai in the cell, as if he was looking at a clown who jumped off the beam, the young man's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts tore apart the appearance of Geng Hai's strong middle, and his eyes went straight to the depths of his heart, and the other party's calm and relaxed coldness and sharpness made Geng Hai almost unable to look at him.

Feng Yan and Cen Yin looked at each other and smiled, and said lightly: "These ...... There is no need to bother with the defense of the country. ”

"Grandpa Guo, you better take care of yourself." Cen Yin turned around slowly, his gaze also moved away from Geng Hai, and his voice was soft and cold, "In this edict, Grandpa Guo can have a good experience of what life is better than death!" ”

"Xue, Zhao......"

Geng Hai gritted his teeth and said, but Cen Yin didn't pay any attention to him, and turned away without stopping, with a ghostly and cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

"My father wants to see the emperor!" Geng Hai gritted his teeth and said.

Cen Yin left, Feng Yan and Yuan Weigang also left, and no one said anything, as if Geng Hai's voice could no longer enter their ears.

As the three of them walked away, the candlelight from the palace lamp gradually faded away, and the surroundings became darker and darker......

Geng Hai watched the backs of the three of them gradually be swallowed up by the darkness, and shouted, "Xue Zhao, you have no right to dispose of your father!" ”

In response to him, there was endless darkness and silence, and Cen Yin and Feng Yan never looked back.

Geng Hai's eyes were as deep and gloomy as a bottomless abyss, and his thoughts were flying:

That's right, even if he commits a major crime of treason, he should be tried by the three divisions, and neither Cen Yin nor Dongchang has the right to deal with him.

As long as he has the opportunity to meet the emperor, he can turn over!

He has known the emperor for decades, and he knows the emperor's personality no better, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and wants to be a benevolent monarch, this matter involves rebellion, and the emperor will never listen to Cen Yin's words.

Maybe the emperor just heard the news at this moment and was furious, but when the emperor calms down, he will definitely summon him!! Geng Hai said to himself in his heart, and slammed his fist on the railing of the cell, and the heavy shackles on his wrists made a "thump" sound on the railing.

Geng Hai staggered back to the floor of the cell, the cold and hard floor of the cell exuded a cold aura, like an ice cellar, and Geng Hai felt bitterly cold.

At some point, the lights around him disappeared completely, and the dungeon fell into darkness again, without a trace of light.

The cell was silent, silent, except for Geng Hai's heavy breathing, "Whew-", "Whew-", echoing in the air again and again......

At this time, Cen Yin, Feng Yan and Yuan Weigang had already walked out of the door of the dungeon.

Unlike the dark and cold dungeons, the air outside is warm and bustling, the sun has already set a little half, and the sky is full of colorful clouds.

"Commander Yuan," Feng Yan stopped in the shade of a tree outside the dungeon, and said cautiously to Yuan Weigang, "You have endured humiliation for more than ten years. ”

Yuan Weigang was panicked, and hurriedly bowed down, and said solemnly: "Gongzi's words are serious. ”

Yuan Weigang looked down at the mottled light and shadow on the ground, and his eyes were full of extremely complex emotions.

For him, Emperor Chongming can be said to be as kind as a mountain.

After Emperor Chongming was killed, he deliberately courted Geng Hai, intending to slowly win Geng Hai's trust and wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

Later, he received a secret letter from the Zhenbei Palace, and only then did he know that Emperor Chongming still had an heir, and they planned to unite to join forces, but he didn't expect that before they could raise troops, something happened to the Zhenbei Palace.

And he was not exposed.

He pressed down, continued the original plan, continued to show goodwill to Geng Haitou, and waited for the opportunity.

It's been sixteen years, and it took him sixteen years to become Geng Hai's henchman step by step and become Geng Hai's most trusted subordinate.

"Big brother, I'll go first." Feng Yan arched his hand at Cen Yin and said, "The rest of the matter will be handed over to the eldest brother." ”

The corners of Feng Yan's mouth made a meaningful arc, and the phoenix eyes were full of sharpness, like a half-sheathed sword, flashing with a killing aura.

Feng Yan still has an important thing that cannot be delayed, he wants to take the opportunity to subdue the Liaozhou Wei and Yuzhou Wei who were transferred to Jinggi by Geng Hai.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime "good opportunity".

After Cen Yin and Feng Yan exchanged a knowing glance, Feng Yan left with Yuan Weigang.

Only Cen Yin was left standing alone under the dense shadow of the trees, watching Feng Yan's long back fade away with deep eyes......

Cen Yin stood motionless, like a delicate jade carving, his skin brighter than snow.

The sun was setting a little bit again, and the sky was getting darker.

Cen Yin looked up at the golden-red sky in the west, his eyes gradually became trance-like, and his narrow eyes were reflected in golden-red, like blood-stained, as if in the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.

A lot of past events flashed in his mind, when the Zhenbei Wangfu was destroyed, the family was destroyed overnight, and his sister took him to hide in the secret passage, for three days and three nights, until they were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, they didn't go out.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, corpses, carrion, maggots, and crows......

He is the son of the Zhenbei Wangfu, and since he was a child, his father often taught him-

"Xue Zhao, the duty of our Zhenbei Wangfu is to protect the peace of the north, you have to remember that we are the most solid barrier in the north of Dasheng!"

"As long as the Zhenbei Wangfu is in one day, whether it is Beiyan or Xiongnu, no one will want to go south to the Central Plains!"

"We are soldiers, and our hands are stained with countless blood, but, Xue Zhao, we are killing the people who violated my Dasheng mountains and rivers, and we are killing the people who mutilated my Dasheng people!!"

When he was very young, his father took him to the battlefield, and he had seen the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, but when this scene appeared in the palace, he knew what hell on earth was.

A dead corpse lay crookedly across the palace, and the faces were all people he had known since childhood, and their white and hideous faces seemed so familiar and so strange......

They were all dead.

The mother was killed twice, and a long knife pierced the mother's bulging abdomen, and the seven-month-old brother in the mother's womb also followed the mother.

At that time, he wanted to bury his mother's and their bodies, but his sister stopped him.

My sister said that no one could find out that there were still their sisters and brothers alive in Zhenbei Wangfu.

My sister said that for the sake of Zhenbei Wangfu, they must live.

My sister said that there is hope only if you are alive...... Even if it is ten, twenty, thirty years, they will definitely be able to avenge their parents.

It didn't take long for Beiyan to attack the border, and countless displaced people fled all the way, and he and his sister were also mixed in the fleeing refugees, begging all the way, going into exile all the way, eating tree bark, digging weeds, and drinking muddy water...... The days were getting harder and harder, but the siblings gritted their teeth and survived.

However, even though her sister used mud to hide her appearance, she was still found as a daughter. For herself, sister she......

The scenes of that year clearly appeared in front of him, Cen Yin's always calm chest rose and fell violently, the evening breeze blew slowly, blowing the black cloak on his body and flying in the wind, his black hair flew in the wind, his face was expressionless, he was silent, but the whole person revealed a deep sadness...... and remembrance.

I don't know how long it took, Cen Yin finally moved, strode out of the East Factory, and then rode his horse in the direction of the palace.

"Gotta ......"

The sound of horses' hooves was loud in the empty streets at dusk, and the horses ran faster and faster, making the oncoming wind sharp as knives.

Cen Yin's originally agitated heart gradually calmed down in the monotonous sound of horses' hooves.

When he arrived at the palace gate, the whole person became the Dongchang factory supervisor who looked down on the world on weekdays.

The sunset was already the last touch of orange in the western sky, and the palace gate was about to be locked, but for Cen Yin, none of this was a problem.

"Overseer."

In the midst of the flurry of salutes, Cen Yin walked forward without squinting, as usual, and walked towards the imperial study with a clear goal in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After a cup of tea, Cen Yin, who took off his cloak, appeared in the imperial study, and Geng Hai intended to rebel, and he led people to take Geng Hai near Anding County to roughly inform the emperor.

"What?!"

"Geng Hai actually hid 3,000 private soldiers, and he plans to rebel?!"

"Smack! What a guts! ”

The cold light in the emperor's eyes was great, and a palm slapped heavily on the imperial case in front of him, and the red sandalwood imperial case shook slightly, and the stack of folds placed on it collapsed, and fell on the white marble ground below, and the folds scattered messily.

The emperor felt still puzzled, and swept his arm, and the teacup, the four treasures of the study, the pen holder, etc. on the case were all swept to the ground, and the thunderbolt fell to the ground, a mess.

However, the emperor did not care about this, and Huo Di stood up.

"Geng Hai, good you Geng Hai! What a meal of the ambitious leopard guts!! ”

The Emperor's angry voice almost trembled slightly, and he walked back and forth in the imperial study with his negative hands, the muscles on his face tensed, and his skin full of anger.

The air in the imperial study was suddenly cold, as cold as the cold winter wax moon, the cold wind was howling, and the attendants serving in the imperial study almost trembled with their legs, silent like cicadas.

After the emperor walked back and forth a few times, he calmed down a little, stopped, and looked at Cen Yin, afraid of luck in his heart.

Fortunately!

Fortunately, last time, Ah Yin said that he would send someone to keep an eye on Geng Hai!

Cen Yin maintained a posture of pretentiousness, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister ordered Dongchang to keep an eye on Geng Hai, and found that Wei Guogong went out of the city to mobilize private soldiers this morning. In order not to startle the snake, he privately mobilized the Shenshu battalion led by Yuan, captured Wei Guogong in one fell swoop, and killed those traitors and thieves! It happened suddenly, and the emperor was not notified in advance. ”

"Ah Yin, you have to make a decision immediately!" The emperor looked at Cen Yin appreciatively and sighed, "You have done another great thing for me!" ”

The Qianyayuan Palace Incident two years ago is still fresh in the emperor's memory, it is a matter of rebellion, and he should act cheaply, once Geng Hai is allowed to attack the city, I am afraid that it will also cause many casualties in the Gyeonggi area, and it will also lead to turmoil in the people's hearts......

This earth dragon turned over and the matter of the edict of the guilty self has just passed, if there is another rebellion to force the palace, even if he mobilizes the army to take Geng Hai, this matter is bound to alarm the world, I don't know how many people will question his improper position!

Maybe this is also Geng Hai's intention, even if he loses, he will not let himself sit on the throne.

Geng Hai, it's really vicious!

Thinking about it, the emperor gritted his teeth angrily, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped.

He wanted to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, but found that the tea cup on the table had already been swept away by him.

Cen Yin observed what he said, and immediately ordered the chamberlain to re-serve tea to the emperor, and the other chamberlain hurriedly began to clean up the mess in this place.

The emperor sat down on a circle chair by the window nearby, and said coldly: "I want to hand Geng Hai over to the three divisions for trial, rebellion, and plotting rebellion, the crime is unforgivable!" I am determined to behead the Geng family's group of minions who betray their masters, and their corpses will be broken to pieces, so as to eliminate the anger in my heart. ”

As soon as the emperor said it, he was furious, if Geng Hai was here at the moment, I am afraid that he would have let Geng Hai be directly dragged to the noon gate and beheaded.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Cen Yin walked up to the emperor and said in a calm tone.

The emperor moved his eyebrows suspiciously, at this time, he was angry, if someone else told him anything inappropriate, he was afraid that he would smash the new teacup in his hand without thinking about it.

"Ah Yin, how can you say this!" The Emperor asked patiently.

"Your Majesty, think about it, there is just the matter of the Heavenly Mandate Phoenix Maiden in the front, and the matter of the edict of the guilty self in the back...... If something happens to the Geng family again, the world is afraid that the world will think that the emperor is eradicating dissidents. Cen Yin explained unhurriedly and methodically.

"Moreover, the Weiguo Mansion has been in charge of the world's soldiers and horses since Emperor Taizu established the Dasheng Dynasty, and this generation has been intertwined in the court, and there are countless people who are related to the past, and the connections and power involved are even more immeasurable...... Once it is dealt with, the minister is afraid that the grand event will be turbulent. ”

After Cen Yin's words fell, the imperial study was quiet.

Those chamberlains had already cleaned up the broken things on the ground, the white marble floor had returned to its original appearance like a mirror, and there was a new set of four treasures of the study on the imperial case, as if nothing had happened to Shicai.

Outside the window, the sunset has completely set, the sky is as dark as a crow, and the palace is lit up with red lanterns to illuminate the surroundings, and two palace lamps are also lit in the imperial study, and the lights are as bright as day.

The emperor took a slow sip of tea with a teacup, and then took another sip with a solemn expression. Ah Yin is not unreasonable.

"Ah Yin, what do you propose?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

Cen Yin saw that the emperor's expression was a little loose, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then he returned to normal, and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the stability of the Dasheng country, the minister thinks that it is better to let the Duke of Wei Guo 'die' in an accident, and the emperor will be gracious again, and accept the 'Feng Nu' to appease the forces of the Duke of Weiguo." ”

"After that, the emperor restructured the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to divide the connections of the Geng family and collect military power."

"When the time is ripe, the Geng family will naturally be at the mercy of the emperor."

With Cen Yin's sentence, the emperor's face changed several times, when he first heard that he was listening to the lotus, the emperor was so aggrieved that he almost didn't interrupt Cen Yin, but when he heard the "restructuring of the five military governors' mansions", "dividing the connections of the Geng family", "collecting military power" and so on, the emperor's expression eased again, and his expression showed a bit of contemplation.

How powerful the Geng family is in the court, there is no need for Cen Yin to give the emperor a detailed analysis, the emperor knows best.

Once the three divisions are tried, I don't know how many people will be dragged into the water, and it is nothing to behead the Geng family, but if all the generals related to the Geng family in the court are beheaded, then I am afraid that the Dasheng rivers and mountains will be shocked, not to mention, the war in the south has not been extinguished, and many of the generals in the south are probably related to the Geng family......

Also, Beiyan and Pu Guo have also been coveting the side, if these barbarians think that Dasheng has no generals available, and wait for the opportunity to lead a large army to attack the Central Plains, then ......

The emperor didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The emperor took another sip of tea, and then said, "Ah Yin, it depends on your wishes." The emperor spoke very slowly, and he couldn't help but think of the appearance of Geng Tinglian being burned miserably in Huangjue Temple that day.

As soon as he thought that he was a dignified emperor and wanted to marry a disfigured traitorous daughter, the emperor had an indescribable feeling in his heart: he really "endured humiliation and burden" for the sake of the great prosperity of the country!

Cen Yin solemnly bowed and complimented: "The emperor really tried his best for my great prosperity. ”

The Emperor let out a long sigh.

As soon as the night breeze blew, his sigh was suppressed by the "rustle" of the grass and trees outside the window.

Cen Yin seemed to hesitate, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you still want to see Duke Weiguo?" ”

After a pause, Cen Yin said again: "Duke Wei Guo said, please read the emperor for the sake of the old love sixteen years ago......"

As soon as the emperor heard what he had done sixteen years ago, he was furious, his eyes were about to split, and he interrupted Cen Yin: "No need, I don't want to see this person again!" ”

Until now, Geng Hai still wants to use the old things of sixteen years ago to blackmail himself!

For so many years, I have always trusted Geng Hai, a traitor, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, not because he remembered the "old love" of the year!

However, Geng Hai is greedy and swallows elephants, always wants more, and repeatedly makes excuses and quibbles, refusing to admit guilt.

It's that I'm too soft-hearted.

After the original edict, he still wanted to give him a chance, and this was the one-month limit, but what did he get in exchange, he planned to rebel!

There are already too many opportunities for him, so many that he is lawless, so many that he is lawless!

Thinking that Geng Hai was all responsible for what happened recently, the emperor hated it as if he was heartburning, his eyebrows were pressed together, and he was cold.

He and Geng Hai have nothing to say!

Rebellion is his bottom line, and he will not give Geng Hai any more chances!

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and said decisively: "Ah Yin, Geng Hai will be left to you to deal with." And the Geng family......"

For the sake of the overall situation, the emperor put up with the Geng family for the time being, but without Geng Hai, the backbone, the Geng family could not become angry. With Geng Anhao, I'm afraid he won't be able to support the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his mood was heavy, and there was a sense of relief that the dust had settled.

The power of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is too great, so that most of the generals in the court have a sense that they only know Geng Hai and do not know the Son of Heaven, and they all respect Geng Hai's meaning.

When he weakens the Governor's Office of the Five Armies step by step, disperses the military power, and then restricts the Military Department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the future, he can be stable in this day, and it is he who is the "master".

The more the emperor thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became, and his eyes were full of light.

All thanks to Ah Yin.

The emperor squinted, and then remembered the excerpt of the reform of the military department mentioned by Duanmu Xian, and planned to turn it out again and take a closer look.

Cen Yin took in the slight changes in the emperor's face one by one, always looking light, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of evil in his softness.

An attendant quietly glanced at Cen Yin, and immediately lowered his head, knowing that now that the Duke of Wei Guo had "fallen", the position of Lord Cen in the emperor's mind was also more stable.

In the future, Lord Cen will be the first person in this court, and I am afraid that no one will dare to say the word "no" to Lord Cen again.

The chamberlain and the other chamberlain beside him quietly exchanged a look, anyway, they just need to do their duty to serve the emperor well...... If there is anything, please consult Lord Cen in time.

After a while, the emperor came back to his senses and said to Cen Yin: "Ah Yin, you did a good job today." You go and get busy, and the affairs of the Geng family will be left to you to take full responsibility. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cen Yin took the order and then retreated.

When Cen Yin came out of the imperial study, night had completely fallen, and the stars were like countless gems inlaid in the night sky, and a bright moon hung high.

The round silver moon was as clean as a silver plate like jade, without a single flaw, and the moonlight was like water, pouring down from the nine heavens, gilding this huge palace with a layer of silver halo.

Cen Yin looked up at the silver moon in the night sky, and his long, narrow and ghostly eyes were incredibly beautiful against the backdrop of the moonlight.

There was silence all around.

He quietly admired the moon for a while.

A small chamberlain who was guarding the eaves carefully draped him in a black cloak.

Cen Yin stepped forward, and the moonlight dragged a long shadow behind him, like a long sword hidden in the shadows.

The night is getting deeper......
