Chapter 499: Guarding the Border
Gong Tianyao clenched her fists, a little apprehensive in her heart, to her surprise, the emperor just waved his hand outward with an impatient face, and said, "I have my own judgment, you all stand down!" ”
"But the emperor ......" The guard was still unwilling, opened his mouth, and finally didn't speak, with a somewhat decadent look on his face, it seemed that the emperor did not put the king of Nan'an and the princess of Nan'an in prison, which made him very disappointed.
Gong Tianyao and Song Zhao exchanged glances, and the two of them had nothing to say, and bowed upwards and retreated.
Coming out of the emperor, Gong Tianyao immediately lowered her voice and asked Song Zhao: "Concubine Yu did not arouse anyone's suspicion when she died, and the route we planned for Concubine Yu was very hidden, and it stands to reason that no one will notice it, and it is even more incredible to be able to find Concubine Yu in such a short time!" What went wrong? ”
Song Zhao said in a deep voice: "I don't know yet, now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, so we must be careful and guarded." ”
"But I'm more worried about Concubine Yu now." Gong Tianyao said worriedly: "Will those people attack her?" ”
"Don't worry, I will send someone to protect her secretly, and she will not be in danger of her life." Song Zhao walked as he walked.
"Hmm." Gong Tianyao believed that Song Zhao had the ability to protect Concubine Yuquan, but she still had a question that she was eager to know the answer: "Do you think that the emperor's time is different from before?" ”
Song Zhao didn't slow down at all, and only asked, "How can you see it?" ”
Gong Tianyao thought about it, and told Song Zhao the scene he saw in Zhengyang Palace where the emperor and queen were in love with each other, and added a sentence at the end: "His attitude today is also very unusual, if it was in the past, he would definitely take this opportunity to aim the artillery at us, why would he let us out of the palace?" ”
Song Zhao just smiled when he heard this, and wrote lightly: "The king's heart is unpredictable, these things are useless to think about, it's better to think less." ”
One sentence swept away Gong Tianyao's excitement, she muttered oh, no longer said these things, and the two returned to the palace in silence all the way.
In the middle of the night, Gong Tianyao was so sleepy that she yawned, but Song Zhao sat by candlelight and read a book, seeing her sleepy eyes and staying up all night with her, she couldn't bear it, put down the scroll, and said softly: "Go to sleep when you're sleepy, don't care about me." ”
Gong Tianyao cheered up, opened his eyes wide, and said, "You have to wait for me to accompany you." ”
Song Zhao was quite helpless and shook his head slightly. The two were talking, there was movement outside, Yebai walked in and replied: "Sure enough, as expected by the prince, there were assassins in the dungeon who sneaked in and wanted to take Concubine Yu's life, but fortunately, his subordinates acted in time and didn't let Concubine Yu be poisoned." ”
Song Zhao nodded, and his voice was low: "Where is the assassin now?" ”
"Because it is inconvenient for his subordinates to show up, so hand over the killer to the jailers, so that they can go to the emperor tomorrow to grab credit, and the prince can also take this opportunity to make a statement to the emperor."
Seeing that the prince nodded, Yebai didn't say anything more, and bowed and retreated. Gong Tianyao walked out of it and said with palpitations: "I hope Concubine Yu is not too frightened." ”
Thinking of Concubine Yu's resolute and brave face, Gong Tianyao's heart tingled, she promised to save her from this desperate place, but now she is even more plunged into a hell from which she will never recover, if the emperor has murderous intentions towards her, and then wants to save her, the risk must be very great.
But no matter what, Gong Tianyao will never watch Concubine Yu die, no matter what method is used or what price is paid, she must be rescued!
Neither of them closed their eyes that night, and hurried into the palace to see the emperor as soon as it was dawn, and the emperor did not refuse to see the two of them because he still had something to say.
After asking for peace, Song Zhao went straight to the topic and said, "I heard that an assassin broke into the dungeon last night, and he wanted to be unfavorable to Concubine Yu?" ”
The emperor glanced at him, and said in a strange manner: "Your news is quite well-informed." ”
"I don't dare." Song Zhao lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "The case of Concubine Yu's fake death and leaving the palace has already made a lot of noise, and if there is a little bit of trouble in this matter, everyone will know about it, and the minister also heard it from elsewhere." ”
When the emperor heard this, he let out a cold snort from his nostrils and said, "You can always find an excuse to shirk the responsibility on yourself, I really want to ask you, did you plan the matter of Concubine Yu?!" ”
Song Zhao's back was straight, and he only said that the minister was guilty, and the emperor had nowhere to fire, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said angrily: "I really didn't mistake you!" ”
Seeing that Song Zhao was just kneeling and not speaking, the emperor calmed down a little, and his anger slowly subsided, he glanced at Song Zhao and Gong Tianyao deeply, and said meaningfully: "I know that the two of you don't want to stay in the capital, I will give you a chance, it depends on whether you are willing to grasp it." ”
It was not a good thing to hear it, Gong Tianyao rolled her eyes in her heart, and was unmoved by the emperor's words. The emperor put his words away, and Song Zhao followed his words and asked, "What does the emperor mean?" ”
"General He is old, and it is not suitable to continue to guard the border passes, I think that I will call him back to Beijing after a while, but who will be sent to take over his position next, I haven't thought about it yet, King Nan'an, you are both civil and military, and you are well-versed in ancient and modern times, so you should be able to do this job."
The emperor originally thought that Song Zhao would find an excuse to resign, but he didn't expect Song Zhao to say indifferently: "The minister is willing to lead troops to the border pass." ”
The emperor's heart froze, and he suddenly felt that the young man in front of him, who looked a little thin and thin, had grown into a usable person who could take on heavy responsibilities on his own, and the sense of crisis suddenly swept over again, making him feel dizzy.
The emperor paused for a while before saying, "Have you thought about it?" The border is not like the capital, the conditions are difficult, the climate is even harsher, if you feel embarrassed, I will not force you. ”
Even the emperor himself didn't know whether he said this to test Song Zhao's determination or sincerely persuade him to give up, but when he heard Song Zhao's affirmative answer again, he only felt a sense of relief all over his body, and the big stone that was pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground.
Song Zhao is outstanding, and he was seriously ill for a period of time before and the state affairs were handed over to him to deal with, and the civil and military officials were even more convinced and respected him.
But the better he is, the more bottomless the emperor's heart becomes, even if he is no longer qualified to inherit the throne.
If the power of the king of Nan'an expands to the point where even he can't control it, who knows what will happen? Will he rebel and snatch himself from the high dragon chair and sit on it himself?
The emperor didn't dare to think about it, and the facts in front of him alone made him shudder. So no matter what, Song Zhao must be expelled from Beijing, and the farther away the better!
