♂? ，，

The ground was covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and the cold wind whistled outside the window, with the sound of mournful weeping, rolling up the fallen leaves, making the trees tremble and mourn.

The heart was like a tide, surging into Xuanyuan Yan's heart, he couldn't sleep, looking at Ye Ruoxi's sweet sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. This little thing with no heart and liver sleeps so soundly.

How much I wish that he could fall asleep like her, without worry, but in the past twenty years, the past, bloody scenes, passed by his eyes, vividly, as clear as yesterday.

Xuanyuan Yan got up, gently pushed the door open and walked out.

Ye Weiyang, whose heart is cold?

The frost of a place has faded away the prosperity of the world, the red chrysanthemums have fallen, the flowers have withered, and the breeze has been cold.

The cold wind blows in the face, and the twenty years are like smoke in the past, but it cannot be dissipated in the wind and gone with the wind. Suddenly, he looked back, he was still nothing, and when he looked back, the tightly closed door made his lips smile softly and affectionately.

No, he wasn't without nothing anymore, because he had the people he cared about, the quirky woman, his wife.

No, he wasn't without nothing anymore, because he had the people he cared about, the quirky woman, his wife.

"Life and death are broad, talk to Zicheng, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son!"

Xuanyuan Yan spit out this sentence heavily from his lips, his heart was much lighter, too much heaviness, it had been pressing on his heart, he couldn't let it go, and it was difficult to eliminate.

Twenty years of time, too many grievances and hatreds, too heavy, he has come to this day alone. Fortunately, there is now a person who is willing to be by his side and share life and death in weal and woe.

"Master, it's cold at night, why haven't you rested yet?"

Kang Yuanyuan came back from inspecting the guards, and saw Xuanyuan Yan standing alone under the moon in the courtyard, so he hurriedly came over to give a salute, untied the fox fur on his body, and draped it over Xuanyuan Yan's body.

"Wear it yourself, just that body, it's not as strong as the master."

"Master, the minister is fine, the minister is already well."

Kang Yuanyuan stubbornly draped the fox fur on Xuanyuan Yan's body.

Ye Tianqing's long and loud worship woke up all the princes and ministers, and they all knelt down and bowed to the top, worshipping in unison.

This is the first time in the past few months that the princes and ministers have seen the emperor go to the court in person and accept the worship of the ministers. Those doubts and rumors are self-defeating.

"Flat ......"

The eunuchs beside Gong Qingtian shouted loudly, and the ministers got up cautiously, under the accumulation of power for many years, they were respectful in front of Gong Qingtian, and they didn't dare to come out.

Someone was secretly peeping and looked at Gong Qingtian on the dragon chair, the heavy coercion emanated from the body that looked a little weak and thin on the dragon chair, that kind of familiar atmosphere, so that everyone understood that it was really the emperor who personally came to the court to listen to the government.

Gong Qingtian, who was sitting in a high position, had sharp eyes

The light swept over everyone standing in the court, and everyone bowed their heads and bowed in court, waiting for the emperor's will.

For a long time, Gong Qingtian didn't speak, and there was an abnormal flush on his cheeks.

With the last bit of life potential stimulated by drugs, coupled with the support of internal strength, today is his last day in the world.

Gong Qingtian's gaze finally fell on Ye Tianqing's body: "Qingbi." ”

"The minister is here."

Ye Tianqing walked out from in front of the ministers and bowed upwards to salute.

"Read my will."

Gong Qingtian said, leaned back on the dragon chair, his eyes were cold, and he didn't say anything more.

"Yes, I obey."

Ye Tianqing took out the holy decree and turned to face the princes and ministers, who hurriedly walked to the middle and knelt down according to their ranks.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the eldest son of the Tanglin Kingdom, the prince Xuanyuan Yan, brave and invincible, with soldiers like gods, defeated the Risheng Kingdom to invade hundreds of thousands of enemies, so that the Risheng Kingdom to the Tanglin State is a vassal, every year to pay tribute, year after year. I am not feeling well, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, the prince Xuanyuan Yan, honest and pure filial piety, benevolence and frugality, with the talent of the emperor, can be the prince of the Tanglin Kingdom......"

A sentence of holy decree was conveyed from Ye Tianqing's mouth, and the prince and the ministers were all prostrate on the ground, and no one dared to say much.

Because, the person sitting high above today is the emperor who controls more than 20 years of the Tanglin Kingdom, and he is staring at them with cold and murderous eyes.

If there is no palace Qingtian today, what Ye Tianqing announced is a testament, which will definitely cause an uproar and turmoil.

But under Gong Qingtian's indifferent gaze, the silence in the Jinluan Hall was terrifying, and only Ye Tianqing's voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the three princes, the seven princes, plotting against the prince, plotting to kill the prince......"

After Ye Tianqing finished announcing the first holy decree, a eunuch next to him handed over the second decree, and Ye Tianqing picked it up and continued to read it.

"Father, father, sons, deserve death, sin deserves death, ask for ...... father's mercy"

The third prince and the seventh prince didn't even have the courage to refute, their foreheads touched the ground hard, made a loud sound, and kowtowed upwards to beg for mercy.

"Pull it down and send it to Zongzheng Temple for confinement."

"Yes, I obey."

Someone agreed, stepped forward to tie up the two princes, and dragged them down from the Jinluan Palace. In the main hall, the echo of the two people's wails and begging for mercy echoed for a long time.

For a long time, no one dared to say more.

"My will has been heard, do you have anything to say?"

"The emperor is wise and martial, and the ministers must obey the emperor's holy decree."

The ministers kowtowed upwards together, and the princes trembled, and they didn't dare to say more.

"Qingbi, pass on the message for me."

Ye Tianqing took out a holy decree from the eunuch's tray here: "Second prince, fourth prince......"

soon

, Several princes were dragged down and sent to Zongzheng Temple under house arrest, and one after another wills were conveyed from Ye Tianqing's mouth, so that the ministers understood one thing, no matter how the harem changed, the queen was under house arrest, and the position of the crown prince was still Xuanyuan Yan.

These things have not affected Ye Tianqing in the slightest, the right minister of the Tanglin Kingdom who stood under the Danqi and loudly replaced the emperor's decree is still the first person in power to lean towards the government and the opposition!

The emperor's favor and reliance on Ye Tianqing have been the same for more than 20 years and have never changed.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already conveyed the emperor's will."

After Ye Tianqing read out the last holy decree, he knelt in front of the Danqi, raised his head and gazed deeply at Gong Qingtian with a sad gaze.

At the end of life, after the splendor, it is the red that withers the ground, even though it is beautiful, but it is the last bloom of death, poignant and helpless.

Gong Qingtian's gaze softened, he stood up from the dragon chair, walked down the Danqi slowly, and bent down to help Ye Tianqing up from the ground with his own hands: "In the future, I will entrust everything to Ye Tianqing, and you can just obey his orders, otherwise, it will be against my will and there will be no forgiveness!" ”

The imperial seal appeared in Gong Qingtian's hand, and he placed the imperial seal in his hand heavily in Ye Tianqing's hand.

Ye Tianqing knelt at Gong Qingtian's feet with a pout, his body trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of tears.

"The Emperor's ......"

Gong Qingtian smiled: "Qingbi, it's been thirty years, and today I have entrusted this imperial seal of the country, along with my great country, and my son!" ”

The ministers were all shocked, raised their heads and stared at the imperial seal in Ye Tianqing's hand, and looked at Gong Qingtian with an unbelievable gaze.

Gong Qingtian's body straightened, turned around and walked down to the back of the main hall.

"Minister, send the emperor!"

Ye Tianqing's forehead touched the hard and cold ground of the Golden Luan Palace, and a drop of crystal sparkle slipped from his eyes and shattered on the ground.

For a long time, he knelt on the ground and did not get up, and none of the ministers dared to get up, let alone make a sound.

All the people in the Jinluan Hall were prostrate on the ground, looking at the corners of Ye Tianqing's clothes who were kneeling at the front with awe.

Ye Tianqing raised his hand, and the cuffs quickly slid down from the corners of his eyes, wiping the crystal from the corners of his eyes. Looking up and looking at the back of the Jinluan Palace, he understood that after Gong Qingtian left, he would enter a long sleep, and he would be liberated from this, and he would no longer have to endure the loneliness and pain of the world.

Sorrow comes from it, thirty years, the monarch and the minister have always been the first in the history of the Tanglin Kingdom, and in the known history, Gong Qingtian and him are the first people.

Kneeling under the Danqi, Ye Tianqing raised his head and looked at the Panlong caisson in the air, not letting the tears overflowing in his eyes flow.

Finally, he got up and Gong Qingtian went

, The only thing he can do is to do all the things that Gong Qingtian gave him, so as to comfort Gong Qingtian's spirit in the sky.

Ye Tianqing didn't turn back, his back stood alone

Before Danqi, an indifferent voice came out of his mouth: "The emperor personally passed on the holy order, tomorrow morning, you and other civil and military officials, everyone, must go out of the city for fifty miles, and welcome the prince back to Jian'an." ”

"Yes, lowly class, obedience."

The ministers looked at the imperial seal held by Ye Tianqing in the palm of their hands, and bowed their heads deeply.

"Your Royal Highness, there is Lao to lead the ministers to welcome the return of the prince, and the ministers will be outside the city gate to welcome the prince's triumphant return!"

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Zhi agreed in a low voice, he was one of the few princes who were safe and sound, and there were only five or six of the dozen princes present.

These princes are either too young, or they are not qualified to participate in the battle for the throne, and then they are the princes like him, who are left and right and have not made a stand.

"Please ask His Royal Highness to return to the crown prince, the minister wants to arrange the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, you can't go out of the city for fifty miles, welcome the prince back, please forgive the prince."

"If the right minister is talking, I will definitely bring it, please rest assured that the right minister will definitely welcome the prince back."

"Eighth Highness, this matter will be handed over to the Eighth Highness to arrange, there is His Royal Highness Lao."

"It is the duty of our courtiers to serve the country, and the crown prince has made immortal military achievements, and it is my honor to personally arrange this matter and welcome the return of the prince."

Ye Tianqing nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Retreat!" ”

The ministers bowed and retreated, and a few people stayed, standing silently behind Ye Tianqing.

"Let's go to my house, Ning Bang, and arrange everything."

"Yes, Father."

Several people bowed down at the same time, leaving Ye Tianqing alone in the main hall, and the lonely and sad figure made Kang Yuanbang's heart clogged and walked away quickly.

Gong Qingtian's affairs, he knew, but at this time, he couldn't say anything, he could only be busy with too many things.

Ye Tianqing flew and quickly swept past the palace, but in a short period of time, his figure had already appeared at the door of the palace. Without using anyone's courtesy, he pushed open the door of the dormitory like lightning and rushed in front of the dragon couch.

The yellow curtain, because of the swiftness of his movements, fluttered up, revealing the figure of Gong Qingtian lying quietly on the dragon couch inside.

Calm and peaceful, his thin face was dull, and there was no longer the flush that he had just had on the Jinluan Hall at home. The silence was terrible, there was not a trace of sound, not even the sound of breathing.

Tears flowed wantonly from Ye Tianqing's face, kneeling in front of the dragon couch, the short-term brilliance, finally withered, the honor of a lifetime, when he left, there was not even a child and concubine to accompany him, lonely and desolate.

The only person who arrived was Gong Qingtian's courtier, Ye Tianqing, who was regarded as a confidant, and he couldn't kneel alone for a long time to send Gong Qingtian on his last journey.

"Xiangye, please mourn Xiangye, the emperor's last words, let Xiangye stay here

The time should not exceed one stick of incense. After that, Xiang Ye should arrange the affairs of the emperor's death, and the emperor said that with Xiang Ye here, he can leave with peace of mind. ”

A low and soft voice sounded behind Ye Tianqing, and the chief eunuch who was waiting for Gong Qingtian sighed heavily, and tears couldn't stop sliding down his face.

"Your Majesty, what's more, what are your last words?"

Ye Tianqing's voice was trembling, he asked this sentence intermittently, raised his head, and hot tears continued to fall from his face, wetting the ground.

"No, the emperor left these two sentences, and the emperor left without returning to the palace."

The steward wept silently.

Ye Tianqing turned his head and saw that a stick of incense lit next to him was about to burn out, he turned around and bowed to Gong Qing Tianxing on the dragon couch after bowing three times and bowing nine times, and then got up and wiped away the tears on his face.

"Xiangye, please wash and clean your face."

The chief steward personally presented the silk scarf soaked in the well water with both hands.

Ye Tianqing took it, covered his face, and took a long time to remove the cold silk scarf from his face, and then wiped it clean with cold water.

Turning back, the elegant and indifferent face regained its calm and composure.

"I have been following the emperor for many years, and I have already instructed how to deal with it here, and I believe it can be done."

The chief manager knelt in front of Ye Tianqing, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes, the slave obeys Xiangye's orders, please rest assured." ”

Ye Tianqing turned around, his clothes fluttered, and walked out of the dead and silent dormitory.

In one day, Jian'an City quieted down, and Gong Qingtian personally came to the court to listen to the government, and asked Ye Tianqing to read the holy decree on his behalf, and personally set the candidate for the position of the prince as the prince who was about to return with a halo and glory.

Because of the rebellion, misdeeds, and murder of the prince, seven princes were successively sent to Zongzheng Temple for solitary confinement, and their families took care of them and detained them.

The courtiers were implicated because of this matter, as many as dozens of people, on the day when Gong Qingtian was in the court to listen to the government, the day before Xuanyuan Yan returned to Jian'an City, the blood stained Jian'an.

Dozens of ministers, along with some ministers in other places outside Jian'an, were pushed to their homes outside the noon gate to behead and exterminate the nine clans. In one day, blood stained the streets outside the noon gate red, and the long-term smell of blood wafted in the air and could not be dispersed for a long time.

There are hundreds of ministers and their families who have been imprisoned.

Purging, the last wave of purging, Ye Tianqing's order, was coldly conveyed.

Before Xuanyuan Yan returns, he wants to eliminate all unstable factors in the Qing Dynasty and the opposition, so that Xuanyuan Yan does not have to worry about these things after he succeeds to the throne.

"Prince, no, now the minister should call you the emperor, let the minister's hands be stained with blood, use blood and white bones, cast the minister's infamy, clear the way for you, and take it to the highest position with your own hands!"

Ye Tianqing looked outside Jian'an City from afar and whispered to himself.

One day and one night, from the morning to the back, Jian'an City

In fact, Jian'an City is banned is not today, but today Jian'an City is not allowed to enter and exit, and the streets are also banned. Capture and capture, the killing lasted from morning until nightfall.

Even those executioners, because they had killed too many people, their hands were weak, and they couldn't help but feel sick for a while when they looked at the blood-colored Chang'an Street.

A long time later, some people called this day the day of Jian'an bloodshed, and the wailing and crying of that day and night never stopped.

In history, Ye Tianqing left a strong mark for this, calling him "cold-blooded master", some people think that this is a manifestation of Ye Tianqing's loyalty and patriotism. Some people also think that this is the only failure since Ye Tianqing became the prime minister of Tanglin for more than 20 years.

From that day on, the courtiers and princes mentioned Ye Tianqing's name, and they were all in awe from their hearts, and they didn't even dare to call him by his name.

Blood has forged Ye Tianqing's iron-fisted ruthlessness, and he is known as the most murderous and ruthless and bloodthirsty prime minister in the history of the Tanglin Kingdom.

Late at night, Kang Yuanbang's face was tired, and when he walked into the mansion, he saw the light in his father's study in the back garden, which was still bright.

He walked into the courtyard, and someone bowed down to salute: "Young Master, Xiangye commanded, go back and see Xiangye immediately." ”

Kang Yuanbang walked into the study and saw Ye Tianqing half-lying on the bed, leaning on the futon and closing his eyes to recuperate, the tiredness on his face could not be concealed, and the deep hidden sadness.

He was close at hand, lying silently on the bed, but Kang Yuanbang felt very far away, lonely only a vague figure.

"Daddy."

Kang Yuanbang walked to the bed and bowed, sat down softly in front of the bed, and reached out to knead Ye Tianqing's shoulders.

"Ning Bang, rest for a while."

"Dad, my son is not tired."

"When the emperor comes back to the throne, my father and son can also be more relaxed, tomorrow, go and bring this thing to the master, and present it with your own hands."

Ye Tianqing backhanded, and the imperial seal was in Ye Tianqing's hand.

"Yes, my son obeys."

"When the master returns, he will immediately hold an enthronement ceremony, and three days after the ceremony, he will mourn for the emperor."

"Yes, everything is in accordance with Dad's arrangement, please rest assured, Dad, everything is ready, a few more busy days, when everything settles down, Dad, you can rest for a few days."

"It's not a few days."

Ye Tianqing smiled lightly: "Ning Bang, have you thought about what path you want to take in the future?" ”

"Son, do everything according to your father's orders."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will no longer have to obey your father's commands, but will obey the emperor's will. Ning Bang, I feel very tired and tired for my father......"
