Zhaoqing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, leaned over respectfully and said: "The emperor's old slave has served you for so many years, and there is only one master in his heart, not because he feels so cruel, but because he thinks that in this way, the emperor may be infamous on his back, which is extremely unfavorable to you." ”

Yue Jingyun squinted his eyes and looked at Zhaoqing with a gloomy expression, and only after a while did he suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay, you get up, you can still believe in your loyalty." As for the infamy you mentioned, I have a lot of infamy on my body now, I don't care about one or two more, besides, what does it matter if the method is cruel or not, as long as it works, Yue Jingxuan leads hundreds of thousands of troops, and now he is not blocked from the imperial capital by me? ”

He is very clear about his own situation, now it is completely broken and broken, anyway, the current situation cannot be worse, he simply does what he wants, how can he come happily, as for the life and death of the people, he can't even care about himself, how can he have the energy to care about them?

"Yes, the emperor is wise and martial."

"Well," Yue Jingyun nodded with satisfaction, and motioned for Zhaoqing to get up, "Hurry up and go down to pass the decree, let the people of the forbidden army move faster, if someone resists in the middle, they will be dragged out and beheaded!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yue Xiaohan heard the will conveyed by Zhaoqing, his eyes were full of blood, and his irrepressible anger erupted: "Is my father crazy?" ”

Zhaoqing bowed his head with his hands bowed, and there was no expression on his face: "Your Highness, the emperor has made a will, you better hurry up and do it." ”

Yue Xiaohan looked at Zhaoqing, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes: "My father-in-law is really loyal to my father." ”

"The will has been reached, and the old slave has retired."

After Zhaoqing left, Yue Xiaohan slammed his fist on the table, and while asking people to send a message to Yue Jingxuan, he counted the number of forbidden troops, he didn't want to kill innocent people, but for the sake of more people in the imperial capital, he still had to do it: "I am now looking forward to King Ning'an being able to break through the imperial capital as soon as possible, it's crazy to think about it." ”

His eyes casually swept over the windowsill, on which a pot of poinsettia was placed, and the flowers bloomed in a grand and extraordinarily delicate manner. It was sent by Gongyi Jin'er on the second day of marrying him, saying that his room was too cold, put some flowers and plants, you can be a little more angry, when the flowers have not bloomed, she also told the next person, to carefully water and bask in the sun, now the flowers are blooming, but the person is gone, she ......

Thinking of losing Xiu'er, Yue Xiaohan's breath became more and more cold, if he could survive this time, he would leave the imperial capital to find her, I hope she is safe and sound......

Outside the city, after Yue Jingxuan received the news from Yue Xiaohan, his face suddenly became extremely cold: "Yue Jingyun, how dare you!" ”

Mu Yunlan stepped forward and took a look at the letter in Yue Jingxuan's hand, and bit her lip hard: "Uncle Huang, we should withdraw our troops immediately!" ”

"I know, Tianshu, order the army, and retreat ten miles back en masse."

After a while, Li Yuanzhou and others, who received the news, came to ask for a meeting: "Lord Wang, your subordinates know that you are the people who cherish the imperial capital, but now Yue Jingyun clearly regards the people of the imperial capital as a bargaining chip to balance you, and now he can use a thousand people to make the Yunnan army retreat ten miles, so tomorrow I can't say that I will make more excessive demands, how should we deal with it then?" ”

Yue Jingxuan naturally knew the consequences, and after Yue Jingyun learned that this method was effective, he would definitely get more and more inches, and his imperial brother had always done anything to achieve his goal: "Now retreat one after another, and after that, I will find a way to enter the palace to solve Yue Jingyun, and before that, I can only delay as much as possible." ”

Li Yuanzhou and the others nodded, sighing in their hearts: "It can only be like this." ”

On the other hand, Yue Jingyun couldn't help but pat the table and laugh when he received the news that Yue Jingxuan had begun to withdraw his troops, and his eyes flashed full of stubbornness and madness: "Yue Jingxuan really retreated, for the sake of a thousand people, he directly retreated ten miles, hahaha...... If he doesn't, how can I catch his weaknesses? As long as you grasp this weakness, you can make Yue Jingxuan dare not act rashly! ”

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Third Prince sent someone into the palace to inquire, saying that King Ning'an has withdrawn his troops, is it okay to let go of the 1,000 people who were arrested?"

Yue Jingyun restrained his smile, and his eyes looked very gloomy: "I was about to go to the top of the city tower, let Yue Xiaohan arrange to bring those people with him, and hang them outside the city tower with their hands and feet." ”

Zhaoqing's eyes widened in surprise, and he tried his best to calm his voice: "Your Majesty, it is extremely dangerous to go to the city tower now, as the king of a country, your status is precious, and you should not take such a risk." ”

"With the people of the entire imperial capital in hand, Yue Jingxuan will never dare to act rashly, such a great opportunity, how can I not meet him?" Yue Jingyun had a strange look of excitement in his eyes, his body was getting worse day by day, his face was sallow, his eyes were deep, and his cheekbones were extremely red.

Zhaoqing couldn't but go down to deliver the message.

When Yue Xiaohan heard the news, a killing intent almost subconsciously surged in his heart: "Father asked me to tie up all the 1,000 people I arrested and hang them on the city wall?" ”

Zhaoqing nodded, his heart full of powerlessness and resentment: "Yes, the emperor's edict is indeed like this." ”

Yue Xiaohan clenched his fists, almost unable to believe his ears: "Father wants to use this method to humiliate King Ning'an?" ”

"I think so."

Yue Xiaohan's eyes looked in the direction of the palace hall, and a sharp cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Father-in-law, since my father asks for this, I will immediately go down to arrange it, and when I arrange it, I will let someone notify you in time, and then you will let people escort my father to the city tower." ”

"Your Highness?" Zhaoqing raised his head, he has been an internal servant in the palace since he was young, for so many years, he has been used to bowing his head and facing everyone respectfully, although he has been promoted to the chief of the internal service later, many low-level officials have to greet him with a smile, but this servility engraved in his bones can not be changed in any way, this is the first time in many years that he straightened his waist and looked at the three princes of the dynasty Yue Xiaohan.

Yue Xiaohan set his eyes on Zhaoqing, in his impression, Zhaoqing is the most powerful chamberlain in the palace, his father trusts him very much, and even ordinary concubines can't catch up, and Zhaoqing is also very knowledgeable, what should be said without reservation, not to say word for word, very aware of his rules and proportions, and he always keeps his head down, looks kind, and is extremely respectful to everyone, but to carefully recall his appearance, but found that his mind is blurry, as if he looked at him seriously for the first time today: "What did my father-in-law say?" ”

Zhao Qing laughed, and his slightly old face looked kind because of this smile: "I want to borrow a dagger from His Highness." ”

Yue Xiaohan's heart jumped: "What is the use of my father-in-law asking for this dagger?" ”

"Didn't Your Highness just say that? It is extremely dangerous for the emperor to go to the top of the city tower, the old slave is waiting by the emperor's side, you should always be prepared to protect the emperor, there is a dagger in your hand, and you can feel at ease. ”

"Does my father-in-law really want to use this dagger to protect my father?" Looking at Zhaoqing's face, and then thinking of his look just now, Yue Xiaohan had a bold guess in his heart, and this guess shocked him beyond measure.

"What does Your Highness think?" Zhaoqing was still amiable, and he didn't seem to notice the anger and jealousy in Yue Xiaohan's eyes.

Gradually, Yue Xiaohan suppressed the emotions in his heart, hesitated for a long time, and finally turned around and took out a dagger from the drawer on one side: "This dagger is extremely sharp, sharpening iron like clay, you must be careful when you use it." ”

Zhaoqing didn't take it for the first time, but looked at Yue Xiaohan carefully and confirmed again: "Did Your Highness voluntarily lend this dagger to the old slave?" ”

Yue Xiaohan gritted her teeth slightly, her face was extremely ugly for a moment, and then she nodded: "Father-in-law take it." ”

Only then did Zhaoqing take the dagger and bow respectfully to Yue Xiaohan: "Please arrange it as soon as possible, the emperor is very anxious now, in addition, the old slave heard that Xianyue Mountain has been extremely restless in the past two days, and he doesn't know what happened." ”

Yue Xiaohan's pupils shrank sharply: "Thank you, father-in-law, father-in-law has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and many things are inconvenient to do, I don't know what wishes I have in my heart?" ”

Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled more and more sincerely: "Thank you, Your Highness, but the old slave is alone, and he doesn't have any wishes to fulfill, the time is not early, the emperor is afraid that he is in a hurry, and the old slave will go back." ”

Looking at the back of Zhaoqing leaving, Yue Xiaohan's expression tensed up a little. Zhaoqing asked for the dagger, definitely not to protect his father, but to assassinate at a critical moment, he asked himself to borrow the dagger is to test his attitude, if he lent him, then it means agreeing with his plan to assassinate his father. And he finally asked Zhao Qingke what wish he wanted to fulfill, that is, he knew that once he assassinated the emperor, it would be absolutely impossible to survive, and if there was any last wish, he was willing to help from it.

The moment he heard Yue Jingyun's decision, he wished that he would die quickly, and even had the same idea as Zhaoqing, but before he could make a final decision, Zhaoqing stood up first. He thought about it and quickly returned to the study and wrote a letter, and handed it to the person who stayed before Yue Xiaoqing left: "Send this letter to the eldest brother immediately, he will know how to deal with it after reading it." ”

"Yes."

In the camp tent of the Yunnan army outside the city, the scouts quickly transmitted the movement at the city gate: "Back to the prince and princess, the forbidden army did not release the people who were caught before, but gathered them and hung them on the city wall. ”

Yue Jingxuan put the tea cup in his hand on the table, because the coaster under the force suddenly shattered into two pieces: "Yue Jingyun, you are even more disgusting than I imagined!" ”
