Chapter 241: Heart
♂? ,,
Of course, there is no difference, who knows Xuanyuan Yan's methods and ways of doing things better than Ye Ruoxi, and the small skill of ventriloquism, how can it not be after theft.
For three days in a row, Xuanyuan Yan was closely protected in the secret room, still unconscious, every day Ye Ruoxi could only go over to see Xuanyuan Yan, and soon he would leave, so as not to leak the news and be discovered by others.
The sense of uneasiness became heavier and heavier in Ye Ruoxi's heart, and she was unconscious for three days, and she had a deep fear and panic in her heart, lest Xuanyuan Yan would never wake up and sleep for a long time.
Now, Xuanyuan Yan has been transferred to the Buddhist hall to recuperate, and he is personally guarded by He Biwen and others, who served the emperor in the past, Ye Ruoxi is very relieved, with the protection of those people, Xuanyuan Yan will not be in danger.
The cold wind was bone-chilling, rolling up snowflakes and ice slag, stinging the skin heavily.
Between heaven and earth, there is a vast snow-white, silver-covered clean, reflecting the sunlight and cold, without a trace of warmth.
A group of men straddling horses galloped across the snowy fields without stopping for a moment. The galloping horses' hooves crushed the snow and ice on the ground, and the flying ice slag flew in all directions.
The horses blew swiftly in the wind, leaving behind the heavy marks of the horses' hooves.
The heat rushed out of the mouths and noses of the people and horses, and they galloped all the way to Jian'an City.
Dressed in a snow-white robe, with a snow-white mink fur on the outside, a person headed by a person with a fair-skinned national character face is not angry and arrogant, with the taste of an elegant scholar, and the majesty of the superior person faintly emanates from him, making people dare not look directly.
Under Xiuyi's eyebrows, there is a pair of slightly narrow phoenix eyes, and a terrifying light flashes in the eyes.
It was Ye Tianqing, the noble master of the Tanglin Kingdom, galloping on his horse at this moment, his body was slightly low, almost lying on the horse's back, avoiding the cold and sharp cold wind like an oncoming knife. Because the speed was too fast, the wind whistled in his ears.
After receiving Kang Yuanbang's secret letter, Ye Tianqing took his henchmen to escort him, and galloped towards Jian'an City day and night.
He raised his head slightly, looking at the gradually approaching gate of Jian'an City, which was supposed to guard the spirit of the first emperor for 7749 days, but now there are still some days left, but he has to return early.
After receiving the secret letter that Xuanyuan Yan was seriously injured in the assassination, he immediately returned to Jian'an City to preside over the overall situation.
knows very well that at this moment, Jian'an City is in turmoil, the emperor is seriously injured and unconscious, and it is Kang Yuanbang who presides over the overall situation instead of the emperor, and it is his demon daughter who replaces the emperor.
However, if he doesn't come back, at this time when Jian'an City and Tanglin Kingdom are in crisis, I am afraid that it will cause chaos.
He has been watching, watching what Xuanyuan Yan has done, and seeing the abilities of his two sons.
I wanted to quit and retreat, but it seemed that it was still early.
He appreciates the emperor's ability and means, especially the recent rebellion of the rebels, the change in Jian'an, the emperor is resolute, and now the soldiers who surrendered to the country were taken to Lin'an to fight to the death with the rebels, and the country got this
The news was panicked, and immediately sent the most elite navy to eliminate the rogues, and sent a large amount of compensation and materials to Donghai County, in order to seek the emperor's favor.
The loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, they can no longer afford it.
Ye Tianqing's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, the emperor has grown up, if it weren't for the rebellion of the rebels, several princes have been planning for a long time, and the emperor was assassinated, he could not have come back, continue to watch, and watch the emperor gradually mature day by day, becoming a powerful generation of emperors.
"Who, don't come close!"
An arrow landed not far in front of Ye Tianqing's horse's hooves, and Ye Tianqing raised his head slightly and looked at the city.
"Bold, open your dog's eyes and take a closer look, it's Xiangye who is back, don't hurry up to open the city, please enter the city."
The news spread quickly, Ye Tianqing slowly urged the horse to approach the city gate, and at this time, there were sharp-eyed people, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw that it was indeed the return of the noble Xiangye.
"Xiangye is back, Xiangye is back!"
The voice of surprise came from the city, Ye Tianqing smiled slightly, Jian'an City has not forgotten him.
Someone hurriedly opened the city gate, and the generals who were in charge of guarding the city gate ran out of the city gate one after another, kneeling on the snow and looking up at Ye Tianqing excitedly.
"Humble rank, welcome Xiangye, I don't know if Xiangye is back, I am late to greet him, please forgive Xiangye."
"Xiangye, you're finally back, it's good for you to come back......"
The lips of several generals trembled with excitement, and they didn't know what to say.
"Get up, take the prime minister into the city."
"Yes, Xiangye, please."
A general personally led the horse for Ye Tianqing, and excitedly welcomed Ye Tianqing into the city gate, and the soldiers on both sides knelt in the snow, bowed excitedly, looked up at Ye Tianqing's elegant and straight figure, and slowly entered Jian'an City on the white horse.
Xiangye is back!
This news, like a wing, spread quickly in Jian'an City, and all the people were shocked in their hearts, some were surprised, and some were afraid and awe-inspiring.
The hearts of more courtiers and the common people immediately calmed down and were no longer panicked.
It seems that with the iron-fisted and cold-blooded right minister, Jian'an City will be impregnable, and there will be no loss. It seems that with Ye Tianqing here, those rebels will take the initiative to kneel under Jian'an City, crying and shouting for surrender and begging for mercy, without wasting a single soldier.
Ye Tianqing entered the city gate officer's room in the city gate, which was a temporary resting place for the city gate officials and the soldiers guarding the city gate.
Some people hurriedly turned on the charcoal fire, nervously and excitedly waiting aside, and some people hurriedly offered hot tea, and their eager eyes conveyed a meaning, Xiangye, you stay and don't leave again.
"Xiangye, meet Xiangye."
The generals stood on both sides, peeking at Ye Tianqing's face, even though the other party was a civil official, they were military generals, but in front of Ye Tianqing, they didn't even dare to come out, let alone not
Dare to look directly at Ye Tianqing.
"You have worked hard to protect the city and clear out the rebels and thieves."
Ye Tianqing said with a smile.
"Xiangye is hard, the last general can't wait for Xiangye's hard work, Xiangye, you won't leave again when you come back this time, right?" Everyone looked at Ye Tianqing with pleading eyes.
"Well, let's talk about the recent situation of Jian'an City and the rebels, and let's talk about it urgently."
Ye Tianqing leaned back in his chair, his eyes swept over the surrounding generals, he had already ordered someone to inform Kang Yuanbang and Kang Yuanyuan, and the news of his return soon spread throughout Jian'an City. He did not rush into the palace to see Xuanyuan Yan immediately, which would make others suspicious, thinking that the emperor was seriously ill, so he came back to see him.
He was waiting, first to understand the situation in Jian'an City, although he already knew about these situations.
Waiting for the Xi brothers is the goal, there are many arrangements to be arranged, and he is not in a hurry. The only thing to worry about is the emperor's illness and injury, but no one can see it.
Soon, the Xi brothers received the news, galloped over, and entered the room to meet Ye Tianqing.
"Father."
With a little excitement on their faces, they knelt down heavily, and their father's return surprised them, and their hearts and minds immediately stabilized.
The surrounding generals all retreated, knowing that there must be something important to discuss between Ye Tianqing's father and son.
"Get up, you are doing well, and you are proud of your father."
Ye Tianqing's words with a light smile made the eyes of the two of them light up, and they could get the father's personal praise, but it was extremely difficult, and a smile appeared on their faces.
Kang Yuanbang's face, which had never been cold and waveless at this time, also lost his composure and calmness in front of Ye Tianqing: "Father, don't you immediately enter the palace to meet the emperor and visit the emperor?" ”
Ye Tianqing shook his head: "Don't worry, for my father, I think the emperor should summon my father soon, or wait for the emperor's will." ”
Kang Yuanbang understood what his father meant, and his face showed a sad color.
Ye Tianqing got up: "Let's go, go back to the house first, and talk on the way." ”
The two followed Ye Tianqing out of the resting place of the city gate official and boarded the carriage, the father and son sat in the carriage, but the people who drove the carriage were impermanent.
The father and son discussed matters in the carriage.
"The emperor is out to welcome!"
The loud shout echoed in the air for a long time, shocking everyone, Ye Tianqing and the others, who had just set off for a short time, the carriage and the team were blocked on the road, and heard this voice.
Someone rode a horse close to Ye Tianqing's carriage: "Back to Xiangye, the emperor heard that Xiangye was back, and personally came out to welcome here, and the emperor got off Luan and walked over to Xiangye." ”
Ye Tianqing's father and son glanced at each other, and they all froze, Ye Tianqing lifted the curtain and looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a bright yellow figure in the distance, among the guards and ministers
Under the escort, he walked quickly towards his carriage.
"Niangniang is really messing around, and she is not afraid of being separated
People see through it. ”
Kang Yuanyuan muttered and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.
Ye Tianqing's eyes narrowed, but he was still calculated by the emperor and put it in a position.
He quickly got out of the carriage and strode towards the emperor.
There were still more than ten steps away from the bright yellow figure, Ye Tianqing took his clothes and knelt down: "Minister Ye Tianqing, see the emperor, the emperor of labor, the minister deserves death." ”
His body never knelt down, his hands were heavily supported by Xuanyuan Yan, and he was brought up, Xuanyuan Yan had a smile on his face, and the bright yellow dragon robe on his body flashed in the sunlight with a dazzling and noble luster.
Xuanyuan Yan did not wear a crown on his head today, but tied up his black hair with a golden crown, and his handsome and incomparable face was exposed to everyone without concealment.
Kneeling around, soldiers and officials, and the people knelt on the ground, and no one dared to look up.
More and more officials rushed over, and when they saw this scene from afar, they all knelt down, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
Today's return of the right minister, the emperor personally greeted him, and issued a decree to order the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to go out with the royal driver to welcome the right minister.
After receiving the holy decree, who dares not to come, not to mention that they also want to take this opportunity to see the true face of the emperor and dispel the suspicions in their hearts for many days.
After all, since the emperor was assassinated and injured, no one of them has seen the emperor's face with their own eyes, and today the right minister returns, and the emperor personally greets him, should he no longer hide his face, just let them hear the voice, right?
That's too insincere.
"Your Majesty, how dare the old minister work for the emperor to personally greet the old minister and torture the old minister."
Ye Tianqing bowed his head respectfully, his arms were still held in Xuanyuan Yan's hands, and he refused to let go.
"I'm just worried that my sincerity is not enough to satisfy my father-in-law, and when my father-in-law comes back, I will naturally greet him personally. I wanted to go to the Imperial Tomb in person to welcome my father-in-law back, but I was worried that it would be difficult for me to see your father-in-law's golden face when I arrived at the Imperial Tomb. ”
Ye Tianqing's head hung lower: "The emperor is serious, the emperor wants to summon the old minister, a word of edict, how dare the old minister not come back to meet the emperor immediately, he never dares to be the emperor This statement makes the old minister frightened." ”
Xuanyuan Yan sighed: "Father-in-law, today I ordered all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, civil and military officials, to come to greet my father-in-law. It's just that I got the news of my father-in-law's return a little late, and I should have taken them out of the city to meet my father-in-law. ”
Ye Tianqing bent his knees and was about to kneel: "Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed, please forgive the emperor." ”
Xuanyuan Yan held Ye Tianqing's arm tightly and prevented Ye Tianqing from kneeling: "Father-in-law forgot, I said when and where my father-in-law was, even if he was in the court, he would not bow when he saw me." ”
"The emperor is gracious, give the old minister the honor, the old minister does not dare to trespass the rudeness, please forgive the emperor."
Kang Yuanbang and Xin Kang Yuanyuan knelt behind Ye Tianqing, and the two glanced at each other, and they both understood that they were ruthlessly placed by the emperor.
What was assassinated was extremely seriously injured, poisoned very deeply, and has been in a coma
Unconscious, is the emperor's assassination real, is it injured? It's worth pondering, looking at the emperor's face now, this tall body, probably not even the oily skin is broken, right?
The two lowered their heads, the emperor is the emperor in the end, they are courtiers after all, and the demon index is still not as high as the emperor.
"Father-in-law, are you willing to stay behind to assist me when you come back this time?"
Ye Tianqing hesitated slightly, and saw more and more courtiers kneeling nearby on the left and right, and they all looked at the emperor and him with awe.
"The emperor's words are serious, and the old ministers obey the emperor's will."
"My father-in-law's words are not sincere."
Ye Tianqing was helpless, raised his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Yan, the emperor was embarrassing him and forcing him to agree.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has orders, how dare the old minister disobey them."
Xuanyuan Yan looked left and right, and saw that the ministers were kneeling nearby according to their official positions, and they were far away.
"Zhao Qian, have all the ministers arrived?"
"Back to the emperor, it's all here."
Xuanyuan Yan smiled, this is what you want, the old fox father-in-law, I want to leave me, leave the Tanglin Kingdom to get away, I can't do it!
Ye Tianqing also raised his eyes and looked left and right, today the emperor personally greeted him, and several roads around him were blocked, and the scene was too big. This emperor gave him such glory to bind him so that he could not leave with his hands.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is useless, the emperor welcomes the old minister back with such a grand ceremony, the old minister is terrified, please ask the emperor to drive back to the palace, and the old minister immediately went to meet the emperor and ask the emperor for guilt."
Ye Tianqing lowered his head and bowed his head again, these arms were always held by Xuanyuan Yan, and he just refused to let him kneel and worship.
"The right minister has made great contributions to the country, is loyal, has unparalleled intelligence, and has assisted the first emperor for many years, and his contribution is indispensable. I just think this ceremony is a little small, a little insufficient, and I'm worried that your father-in-law will be unhappy. If my father-in-law comes back and informs me in advance, he will definitely bring a hundred civil and military officials and go ten miles outside the city gate early to wait for my father-in-law's drive to greet you. ”
Xuanyuan Yan's words were too heavy, in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people, he directly said a "father-in-law", a sentence of "you", and said words of congratulations.
Ye Tianqing hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister is sincerely afraid, so he can only kneel in front of the emperor, ask the emperor to forgive him a moment or two, and wait for the emperor's punishment." ”
Xuanyuan Yan exerted his strength, and the internal force entered Ye Tianqing's arm, holding Ye Tianqing's arm heavily, Ye Tianqing didn't dare to break free, and he couldn't bow down.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Let's all get up."
"Your Majesty."
The ministers got up, bowed their heads and stood around, peeking at the emperor and Ye Tianqing, the emperor's face was ruddy, his complexion was excellent, and the prime minister was elegant and calm, and he seemed to be very respectful when he bowed his head.
"Father-in-law......"
"Your Majesty, please call the old minister by his name, the emperor called him so, which made the old minister terrified."
"You are my father-in-law, I didn't call it
Wrong, right? ”
Ye Tianqing was speechless, Your Majesty, are you not enough to put the old ministers together? What is your will, the direct order is, do you dare to resist and disobey the order?
"Father-in-law, please ask my father-in-law to stay and assist me, and I implore my father-in-law to agree."
Xuanyuan Yan suddenly knelt down on one knee, knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Tianqing, lowered his head and hugged Ye Tianqing's waist, and looked up at Ye Tianqing with earnest eyes.
Ye Tianqing was shocked, and the civil and military officials were shocked.
That is the emperor, the supreme emperor of a country, only to the emperor, to the ancestors, the emperor who will kneel to heaven and earth, how can he kneel to a courtier, even if the courtier is the emperor's father-in-law, only the courtier bows to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......"
Ye Tianqing didn't care about the faux pas, pulled Xuanyuan Yan up from the ground, knelt at Xuanyuan Yan's feet with both knees, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the old minister deserves to die, don't dare to be the emperor like this, the old minister is guilty, the emperor ......."
"Father-in-law, are you willing to agree?"
Xuanyuan Yan lowered his head and bent down to support Ye Tianqing.
Ye Tianqing kowtowed to the ground again and again, and kowtowed heavily to the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister is only obedient, and he is obedient, and he begs the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Xuanyuan Yan exerted his strength and said in a low voice, "Father-in-law, please get up, don't you want me to kneel down and beg for your father-in-law again?" ”
Ye Tianqing didn't dare to insist on kneeling anymore, and hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, you will torture the old minister like this." ”
"Haha......"
Xuanyuan Yan laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to hold Ye Tianqing's arm, and the surrounding ministers had already knelt on the ground when Xuanyuan Yan knelt down, the shock in their hearts was indescribable, and they stared at the ground blankly.
What's the situation?
The emperor bowed down to his courtiers in front of his ministers?
In the eyes of the emperor's heart, the right prime minister really had a different status and status, and even the emperor had to kneel in front of the prime minister, begging the prime minister not to leave and stay to assist the emperor.
Xuanyuan Yan personally held Ye Tianqing and helped Ye Tianqing to get on the Luan car, Ye Tianqing was unwilling, but Xuanyuan Yan got it with a word.
"Father-in-law, do you want me to kneel down and beg you?"
Xuanyuan Yan was in a surprisingly good mood, and finally put the Xi family together, pitted Ye Tianqing, the old fox, back, and let Ye Tianqing promise to obey him in front of the ministers.
This is the Xi family, the first person in power in the Xi family, and the right minister of the Tanglin State has no possibility of repenting if he agrees in front of the ministers.
