Chapter 173: The Promise of the Three Watches

() The queen and Xu Yulan next to her couldn't help but cast appreciative glances at Li Han.

Jingwang Zhu Xu looked at Li Han proudly, with a pair of good-looking big eyes shining brightly.

"Someone, pen and ink waiting."

The emperor gave an order, and soon a palace maid came over with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and put it in front of Haiwei.

"Sit down and write."

The emperor pointed to the chair and motioned to Haiwei, who agreed, sat down and wrote down the list of officials controlled by the three princes.

A throwing knife suddenly and silently shot in through the window outside, aiming at Haiwei's back.

This flying knife came too suddenly, and it was too late to pick it up when the unsuspecting Li Han found out, so he grabbed a teacup from the table and smashed it hard.

With a "ding", the teacup and the flying knife fell to the ground at the same time, and the people in the room were shocked.

Hai Wei is worthy of being a person who is accustomed to marching and fighting, and his ability to react to this situation is also faster than others, and he immediately got up and thanked Li Han after he found out that he had been rescued: "Hai Wei has thanked the saint for saving her life, and if you can use Hai in the future, the saint will speak." ”

Li Han hurriedly waved his hand to him: "It's just a gesture, the general is serious, now you and I are both people who serve the emperor, and we still have to rely on each other to tide over the current difficulties." ”

"The saint is right."

Haiwei promised not to plead again, and sat back to continue writing the list.

"The holy woman stretched out her hand, it is really a blessing for my heavenly empire, if you hadn't come in today, I'm afraid that this palace was controlled by that rebel and I would still be kept in the dark."

The emperor looked at Li Han happily and said.

About a time of tea or so, Hai Wei put down his pen and knelt down on one knee and handed it to the emperor: "Your Majesty, these are the officials who have been threatened by the three princes, they are all innocent, I hope the emperor can spare them." ”

"All of them are innocent, you can't just say it."

The emperor stretched out his hand to take the list in Haiwei's hand and read it carefully, with a hint of unknown light in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will let people find your family members and rescue them as soon as possible, so that you will have no worries." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace not to kill."

With gratitude and joy on his face, Haiwei quickly knelt down to thank him.

By saying this, the Emperor had granted his request and forgiven him and the officials who had rebelled because they had been threatened.

In fact, this is also the emperor's last resort, because the list that Hai Wei has just written is so many people involved that if he asks all these related people to blame, it will be a heavy hemorrhage for the imperial court, and I am afraid that it will cause another unknowable chaos at that time.

Next, the emperor sent several right-hand men, ordering them to find and rescue the relatives of these officials as soon as possible, and find a safe place to settle them as soon as possible.

Then he asked Li Han about their situation outside, and when he learned that Princess Anyang was already gathering troops and horses to prepare to attack the people of the third prince, but she didn't dare to act rashly because she didn't know the situation in the palace, the emperor smiled with relief:

"This girl, it's really in vain that I have loved her so much since I was a child."

Subsequently, the emperor took the initiative to tell Li Han all the troops they could use in the palace, and made an appointment together, and tonight the third watch arrived, and the internal and external forces were unanimously attacked at the same time to the army of the three princes surrounding the palace.

The emperor thought about it, sat down again, wrote a letter to Princess Anyang with the pen and paper on the table, and asked Li Han to bring it to her, and then quietly sent her out.
