Xiao Lian obediently returned to the Buddha hall and took out the "Dizang Bodhisattva Wish Sutra" and memorized it for a whole night, although there would be some stumbling when I memorized it, but it was not impossible to say anything.

He memorized it to the end, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he put the "Dizo Bodhisattva Hona Sutra" on his face and lay down in the Buddha hall and slept like this.

Early the next morning, he finally knew how the emperor said yesterday that he was going to test his "Dizang Bodhisattva Wish Sutra".

The emperor funeral heaven, the super dead used this "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra".

When Xiao Lian heard the news, he was a little sad and a little in a trance. I was still drinking with myself in the gazebo last night, and when I woke up, it was gone, and it would be a little difficult for anyone to accept.

But he felt that it was reasonable. When the emperor was woken up by him with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he just woke up, and Dendrobium's use of golden needles was just hanging the emperor's breath.

Almost when He Jingying and Xiao Zhaoye left the Flower Shifting Pavilion, the emperor woke up leisurely, but he was so angry that even if he could speak, he could only say a few words intermittently and indistinctly.

The emperor's eyes were cloudy but his mind was clear, he grabbed Xiao Lian's cyan robe, and only said two words: "Ghost Lan." ”

Relying on the life of Guilan, the emperor climbed the city tower, rode on a war horse, said the edict in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and drank a glass of wine with Xiao Lian.

In Weiyang Palace, there is plain white, and there seems to be only black and white left between heaven and earth. Xiao Lian followed a group of monks to kneel in front of the spirit and recited the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra", and this time he did not make a single mistake.

It's just that among the monks, he is the only one with sadness on his face. In fact, he met the emperor and only said a few words. For the first time, he took the fat tiger to the palace to ask for sin. The second time he returned from the Northern Wei Dynasty, the scenery was infinite, and he saw the emperor with a solemn face in front of the palace. After that, when he was in the court, he looked at the man sitting on him from a distance. At these times, he was still Xiao Zhaoye.

So seriously, the first time he met the emperor should have been last night.

Maybe it's because of respect, maybe it's because of admiration, in short, Xiao Lian is now sincerely kneeling in front of the spirit and being a monk who does his duty.

Fan Guifei knelt in front of the spirit, a white flower on her sideburns, a plain white gauze draped over her body, and silently and mechanically threw straw into the brazier. Xiao Ziliang was even more indifferent, kneeling in front of the spirit like a walking corpse, with tears on his face, and he didn't know who he was shedding for. His father slept in the Azusa Palace, and his confidant was exposed to the streets.

Xiao Zhaoye is the only one who can weep before the spirit.

Weiyang Palace is very deserted, Xiao Zijing, Xiao Ziqing, Xiao Zhaowen, Xiao Zhaoxiu, etc. are all on the front line guarding the city and are not allowed to return to Beijing. There are only some young princes in Weiyang Palace who are mourning and crying.

Cao Jingzhao walked outside the Yang Palace and said in Xiao Zhaoye's ear: "Your Majesty, King Anlu has sent a battle report that the 30,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty have attacked Xiangyang. There was also a letter from the King of Luling that the 40,000 troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty wanted to cross the Huaishui. ”

The Northern Wei Dynasty really began to move, and the national mourning was the time they were waiting for.

Xiao Zhaoye turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ziliang who was kneeling behind him with some obscurity. Isn't this all a good thing that this auxiliary minister has done!

Xiao Zhaoye turned his head and asked Xiao Luan: "Marquis of Xichang, you know the battle ahead, do you know the battle ahead, is there enough troops on the side of King Anlu and King Luling?" ”

When Cao Jingzhao came to report the military situation before, Xiao Luan also heard it, and now he silently counted the combat strength of the front line: "The Anxi army has 30,000, and there is no problem with King Anlu in Xiangyang, but the King of Luling in Yingzhou only has 20,000 horses." The main purpose of the Northern Wei Dynasty was probably Yingzhou. ”

Xiao Zhaoye frowned and said: "Yesterday, King Xin'an ordered 20,000 horses to go to Yingzhou, how long will it take?" ”

Xiao Luan: "It should take three days." ”

"The King of Luling may hold it for three days?"

Xiao Luan said: "The Northern Wei Dynasty needs to cross the Huaishui, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is not good at water warfare, so there is no problem for three days." ”

Xiao Zhaoye nodded reassuringly.

Xiao Ziliang, who was kneeling behind Xiao Zhaoye, finally had some reaction at this time: "No, Your Majesty, the purpose of the Northern Wei Dynasty will never be Yingzhou." ”

Xiao Zhaoye looked at Xiao Ziliang with some impatience: "What is Uncle Huang's opinion?" ”

Xiao Ziliang's face turned pale: "If they wanted to fight Yingzhou, they would have done it a long time ago, why wait until now?" Tuoba Hong wants to move the capital to Luoyang. The Rushui and Yingshui in the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty are connected with the Huaishui. From Rushui and Yingshui to Luoyang, it only takes two days. Tuoba Hong went to war to keep Luoyang safe. ”

Xiao Zhaoye said sarcastically: "Uncle Huang is really a king, and even Tuoba Hong's mind can guess a thing or two. ”

Xiao Ziliang choked, knowing that Xiao Zhaoye wanted to go elsewhere, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, Weichen is only willing to do his best to assist the emperor, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”

Xiao Zhaoye flicked his sleeves and said: "Uncle Huang just said these things to the emperor, there is no need to say them to me." ”

Xiao Ziliang was like a fish in his throat, and his pale face was also dyed a little red. "Your Majesty, Weichen just wants to atone for his sins now. If Tuoba Hong wants to move south, he must want to take Jiankang directly. ”

Xiao Zhaoye sneered: "Take Jiankang directly? Uncle Huang is growing the morale of others and destroying the prestige of our Great Qi soldiers? Is he so powerful that he can swallow me up? ”

Xiao Ziliang said: "You don't need to annex Daqi, you just need to force us to the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Xiao Zhaoye said calmly: "King Jingling! How long are you going to play with me? Who gave the Northern Wei Dynasty a chance? Isn't that you?! ”

Xiao Zhaoye got up and looked at Xiao Ziliang condescendingly: "I haven't forgotten how you were loyal to the country three days ago?" Don't you think that if the emperor didn't care, I could do nothing that happened? King Jingling, didn't you collaborate with the enemy and treason, and cooperate with the Northern Wei Dynasty? What do you mean now when you say that the Northern Wei Dynasty intended to take Jiankang? ”

In Weiyang Palace, Xiao Zhaoye told Xiao Ziliang in front of everyone, which undoubtedly convicted Xiao Ziliang. But Xiao Zhaoye's remarks overturned the crime of "false military report" set by the emperor to Wang Rong.

For a while, everyone in the hall buried their heads low, and they didn't dare to come out.

Xiao Ziliang's eyes were empty, and he said with difficulty: "Your Majesty, Weichen has never done anything like collaborating with the enemy and treason. ”

Even he couldn't believe it when he said this.

He only left his henchmen in Beijing when he was stationed on the border of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and sent his henchmen who originally belonged to Taisun to the front line.

He just chose to force the palace when the situation was most favorable to him.

He is a selfish man who has been calculating all his life, but he still has at least some literati spirit left, and he will not collude with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Xiao Zhaoye looked at Xiao Ziliang with a pair of inquiring eyes: "Uncle Huang, if you say that you are not treasonous, then I ask you, where did Shen Wenji go?" ”

On the day of Xiao Ziliang's defeat, Shen Wenji smelled that the smell of the city was wrong, and immediately ran away. Even before He Yin found all the officials, he ran away.

He seems to have figured it out. After Zhengyangmen was pacified, He Yin went out of the city and didn't even catch a shadow.

Shen Wenji and his 20,000 soldiers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Xiao Ziliang's face turned pale, and the person who contacted Shen Wenji had always been Wang Rong. Now that Wang Rong is dead, he doesn't know where Shen Wenji is. What's more, Shen Wenji didn't really care about him at the beginning, otherwise it would be impossible to withdraw so cleanly.

Xiao Ziliang couldn't argue, and the whole person was stuck on the cold floor: "Your Majesty, Wechen begged the emperor to let Wechen go to Yuzhou to be a pawn, and Wechen is willing to protect the Great Qi with his crippled body." ”

It was originally an ordinary plea, but it was quite harsh in Xiao Zhaoye's ears, making Xiao Zhaoye's eyes appear a touch of blood red. He cried in front of the spirit for three days and never looked so ugly, but he was stirred up by Xiao Ziliang's words.

In the past and present life, new hatreds and old hatreds, because of Xiao Ziliang's humility, because of Xiao Ziliang's request for life, came overwhelmingly.

In his previous life, it was he Xiao Zhaoye and Xiao Changmao who stood in Xiao Zhaoye's position and wanted to send troops to Zhengyangmen, but before Zhengyangmen, Xiao Changmao's body was in a different place, and he Xiao Zhaoye was burned to death in the palace.

In this life, the two of them changed places, and it was he Xiao Ziliang who defeated Zhengyang.

But why, he can kneel here in a good manner, he can also assist the government, he can also ask for orders to go to Yuzhou, so that he can stand on the tower of Shou County, Yuzhou like a loyal soldier. He also has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and wash away his sins, and he even has the opportunity to return triumphantly with gold armor and silver feathers.

Why?!

Why doesn't he have to be in a different place, why can't he be held accountable if the first emperor has exposed his guilt? !

Xiao Zhaoye looked at Xiao Ziliang's eyes as if he had been quenched with poison, and after a while, he smiled: "Uncle Huang, the first emperor ordered Uncle Huang to assist the government, if you leave, who will help me?" ”

Xiao Zhaoye turned around, slowly knelt down in front of the first emperor's spirit, picked up some straw, and put the straw into the brazier with his pale fingers: "Uncle Huang, you are the minister of my humerus, I can't do without you." ”

Suddenly, Xiao Zhaoye seemed to think of something again, and glanced back at Xiao Ziliang, with some evil in his eyes: "By the way, I handed over Shen Wenji's matter to Dali Temple to investigate." Dali Temple may find Uncle Huang to go through some motions, and I hope Uncle Huang will cooperate. ”

This sentence finally made Xiao Ziliang tremble slightly.

The transition of Dali Temple is not as simple as drinking a cup of tea. Who can be intact from the people who have walked through Dali Temple?

When He Jingying heard Xiao Zhaoye say this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at Xiao Zhaoye. She could only see Xiao Zhaoye's side face, and the knife-like angular face became more and more cold.

He Jingying couldn't help frowning, it wasn't because of what Xiao Zhaoye was going to do to Xiao Ziliang, it has always been the case that he became a king and lost a king, this is Xiao Ziliang's own fault. He Jingying's heart was uneasy because the ruthless aura on Xiao Zhaoye's body was getting heavier and heavier, and the killing aura on his body was not just aimed at Xiao Ziliang, but at everyone, even the tablet in front of him.

This deep resentment made He Jingying's heart tremble.
