Jiang Lingran said: "The emperor sent a secret decree to Yan Gu, who went to the province? ”

"Nope." Yan Qi said: "It was the emperor who learned about this matter first, and then let Yan Gu go to the province." ”

If you extrapolate it like this... Jiang Lingran frowned: "Is that the man called the military division?" She said with a frown furrowing even deeper.

If I remember correctly, the military advisor was in charge of the interrogation!

Could it be that my brother also knew about this?

Yan Qi said: "I went to see my brother before I went home. ”

"The emperor may be afraid that I will do something impulsively, but destroy myself, so I asked my brother to keep it a secret."

Jiang Lingran looked at his calm face and frowned, "You, are you okay?" ”

The fingertips pressed against the fold between her brows and rubbed them apart. Yan Qi smiled and said slowly: "I have remembered the matter in my heart for so many years, and it has been solved." ”

"It's a bit empty."

"But it's easier the rest of the way."

Jiang Lingran hugged him and said softly, "Tomorrow we will go to incense my mother." ”

"Hmm."

.........

At the beginning of May, Yan Gu returned to the capital and went to greet the emperor first.

The emperor saw him in the Qinzheng Palace: "The wounds on his body have healed?" ”

Although the emperor didn't look at him at all when he asked this, and the taste of concern in his words was not strong, Yan Gu was still extremely moved and said, "Thank you for your care." ”

"My father worked hard for state affairs, and if my son's little injury made my father worry about it again, it would be my son's unfilial piety."

The emperor really didn't ask too much.

Yan Gu waited for two breaths, and when he saw that the emperor had nothing to say, he took the initiative to say: "The matter that my father explained to my son, my son was fortunate not to be dishonored, and it was completed." ”

"Hmm." The emperor nodded: "It's done well." ”

When Yan Gu heard these four words, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Just waiting for the emperor's remaining reward.

It's just that I heard the emperor say: "I will take the credit and spare your life." ”

Yan Gu's eyes widened in shock, and he didn't understand the meaning of these words at all!

He removed King Wen'an for the emperor, this is a great achievement, how can the fault be offset? It's so heavy that you have to pay for it with your life?

"Erchen, I don't understand."

"Please also ask my father to make it clear!"

The emperor shook his hand and raised his head: "I really don't understand?" ”

Yan Gu said: "Ask my father to tell his son!" ”

The emperor raised his wrist, and the red pen in his hand was thrown into the pen wash.

The water was faint of a heavy red.

"In your study, there is a secret compartment on the third floor of the bookshelf, and there is a treasure letter in the secret compartment."

Yan Gu's eyes were shocked, his face turned white in an instant, and he looked at the person in disbelief.

How... How so?

Who snitched?

Prince?

No, no, the prince never entered his study at all.

It's Yanqi!

Only Yan Qi has been to his study, it must be him!

The emperor was still saying: "... Is the man in the letter enough to kill you? ”

Enough!

Adequate!

If it weren't for his surname Yan, I'm afraid the nine clans would be gone.

Yan Gu's strength was withdrawn in an instant, and he fell to the ground weakly, trembling his pale lips, and explained in an extremely dry voice: "Erchen... Erchen is, he is confused for a while. ”

He didn't say this, and the emperor was still angry.

Hearing these words, the emperor's heart was boiling, he changed his calmness, and slapped his angry palm on the table: "Bastard, you still have the face to say that you are confused!" ”

"You colluded with my mortal enemy, unfilial piety, disloyalty, benevolence and injustice, you have taken it all!"

Yan Gu trembled all over.

He fell to the ground and cried silently, his forehead slammed on the ground again and again, and his choked cry was mixed with remorse: "Erchen is confused, this matter is all Erchen's confusion for a while, and he can't resist King Wen'an's rhetoric, it's Erchen's mistake!" ”

"Father's anger, father's life."

The emperor looked at him.

When his head was bleeding, his eyes were slightly moved, but the coldness did not diminish at all.

"I deserve to give you death."

Yan Gu's kowtow stopped.

Won't this give him death??

"Xiangzhou, you can go on a certain day." After the emperor finished speaking, he pinched out the brush from the pen wash, dipped it in ink, and re-read the fold.

Yan Gu knelt on the ground like a clay stone sculpture.

Xiangzhou... It is 400 miles away from Beijing, and half of the state is covered by mountains.

It is said that relying on the mountains eats the mountains, but the mountains in Xiangzhou are all poor mountains, except for stones, not even a single grass grows!

The soil and stone quality is even more slippery, and mudslides occur frequently in the rainy season every year, resulting in the burial of houses and the destruction of fertile land.

As a result, all those who were able to do so in the state moved elsewhere.

Such a wasteland, the emperor actually wants to make a fief for him!

How dare you say no?

Now he was glad to have saved his life!

Moreover, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood!

Yan Gu came back to his senses and slowly kowtowed again.

The broken forehead was attached to the sticky stone floor stained with blood, and the cold feeling ran down the forehead and went straight to the heart.

"Thank you for sparing your life."

Yan Gu returned to the mansion like a walking corpse.

It's rare that he gets drunk without caring about anything.

The news that Yan Gu was given a fief spread all over the government and the opposition, and everyone was very surprised.

According to the emperor's generous heart, Yan Gu, who had just lost his wife and was wounded, how could he choose to mention the fiefdom at this time? It's still the place in Xiangzhou where birds don't.

Everyone couldn't help but speculate about what Yan Gu had done to annoy the emperor, thinking that Yan Gu had just returned from Ruzhou, could it be the death of King Wen'an and Li Jin?

However, the royal secrets are naturally unanswerable.

Because it was a day, Yan Gu did not leave in a hurry, but sent someone to Fengzhou.

Five or six days later, the fox sent a message back.

The letter did not dare to explain in detail, only said that there was great news, and said that he was rushing to Beijing, and he must let Yan Gu delay leaving Beijing for a few days.

Yan Gu read the letter, and his spirit was slightly lifted after being depressed for several days.

Ever since he robbed the letterhead from Fengzhou to Yangnanguan, he had speculated about what they had done, and he was not surprised by the great news that the fox had said.

This matter can indeed be so big that it can pierce the sky!

Heaven will not kill him!

The emperor didn't give him a way to live, God gave it.

He will succeed!

...

Since returning to Beijing, Jiang Lingran has allowed Qingyu and Dahu to take a long vacation, allowing them to prepare for marriage in the mansion with peace of mind.

The day of marriage is getting closer and closer, and on this day, the bamboo and the squirrel represent Jiang Lingran and Jiang Ji respectively, and send some rewards to their new house together.

On the way, I happened to meet Sui Feng.

Sui Feng saw them talking and laughing side by side, and for a while it was like drinking a jar of vinegar.

Thinking that they grew up as a child, the affection is naturally not ordinary, maybe Xiangzhu likes squirrels? Thinking like this, Sui Feng felt sad.

Thinking of this, Sui Feng didn't even have the courage to step forward.

But Xiang Zhu also saw him, saw him standing in a daze, frowned and walked over a few steps, and wondered: "What is Mr. Sui going to do?" ”

Hearing this, Sui Feng glanced at the squirrel beside her, and asked instead of answering, "What are you doing again?" ”

When the squirrel saw that it was him, he hurriedly waved his hands and said, "It's not that the marriage between Qingyu and Dahu is approaching." ”

"We're going to deliver something on behalf of the girl and the child."
