I lay on the ground and followed their line of sight to see my grandfather standing in front of a long table with an unfinished pair of danqing.

My nervous heart slowly calmed down.

As if he hadn't seen us, the imperial grandfather continued to use the wolf in his hand to sprinkle the unfinished danqing on the long table.

As I was about to get up from the ground, my grandfather raised his kind and majestic eyes and swept over, and I hurriedly crawled to my knees, waiting for his words.

"An An, the uncles are here, won't you pour them a cup of tea? Ziwang, stand up and lie on the ground, what kind of body do you become? ”

"No."

I answered, got up with my hands on the ground, and pulled Xiao Ziwang up by the way.

Xiao Ziwang glanced at me, and hurriedly ran over to grind for the emperor's grandfather.

With a plan in my heart, I slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, slowly put the half-empty heart in my stomach, turned to the fourth uncle, five uncles and seven uncles, and said respectfully: "Fourth uncle, five uncles and seven uncles, come from afar, go into the house and drink a cup of tea to warm your body." ”

The fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle didn't even have the backbone to look at each other, their faces became more and more pale, and they threw aside the weapons in their hands one after another, and stepped into the Fengtian Hall with their feet generously as if they were going to die.

The emperor's grandfather was the founding emperor of Beiling, born in mud legs, in the former dynasty of the war for a bite to eat, up the mountain and down the grass for the coward, more and more thieves under his hand, he was recruited, married the daughter of the general who recruited him at that time, that is, the emperor's grandmother, since then he has started him, the southern expedition to the north, the horse half a life, the establishment of the Beiling grand hegemony.

"Sons see their father, long live their father, long live their father." The three uncles said respectfully in unison.

The emperor's grandfather asked casually: "There are two days to celebrate the New Year, are you afraid that I will be lonely, so you came from thousands of miles to accompany me for the New Year?" ”

The three of them put their foreheads on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, and they were all waiting for each other to speak.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, the imperial grandfather was not annoyed, "Fourth, come on, are you here to spend the New Year with me?" ”

The fourth uncle lay on the ground, raised his eyes slightly in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Return to my father, son...... The son heard that someone was unfavorable to his father, so he rushed over to prepare to exterminate the thieves and protect his father. ”

The fourth uncle was throwing the pot and wanted to bring his troops into the imperial city without permission, he thought too simply, not to mention that he led the troops into the imperial city, that is, the king left the fiefdom without permission, and his crime can be punished.

The imperial grandfather waved the last stroke, Xiao Ziwang stretched out his hands to catch his wolf hao, put the wolf hao aside, took the handkerchief from the imperial grandfather's personal eunuch Xu Chengen, and respectfully handed it to the imperial grandfather's hand.

The emperor's grandfather took the handkerchief casually and said: "You are the prince, you don't need to serve these things, just have Xu Chengen." ”

Xiao Ziwang hurriedly bent down and whispered, "No." ”

The emperor's grandfather walked up to the fourth uncle while wiping his hands with a handkerchief, and followed the words of the fourth uncle: "The hussars did find traces of the Japanese in the capital, and the fourth is also well-informed, so they reported it, I haven't seen the shadow of the Japanese invaders, and the fourth has crossed hundreds of miles to escort them?" ”

The fourth uncle couldn't wait to shrink himself into the cold bluestone bricks, shivering, "Back to my father, the news that my son got is not that there are Japanese robbers in the capital, but that someone wants to ...... Conspiracy. ”

The fourth uncle's pot was thrown directly on the fifth and seventh uncles, and the brotherhood of the emperor's family was so vulnerable in the face of life.

"Oh? It turns out that someone is trying to rebel, and I am still alive, so I can't wait to rebel? The emperor's grandfather said with interest: "Old five and seven, what about the two of you?" Wouldn't it be that I also received the news that someone is going to rebel, and you two will escort you? ”

The fifth uncle and the seventh uncle knelt on the ground, moved their bodies, put their heads on the feet of the emperor's grandfather, and said in unison: "Yes, the sons and ministers are like the fourth brother, please punish the emperor." ”

The three of them shook the pot together, using one method, the fifth uncle and the seventh uncle, holding the fourth uncle to death, using the method of dying together.

"Tsk!" The emperor's grandfather sighed and said with emotion: "The filial children know that I am in danger, so they all order troops to come non-stop, filial piety, really filial piety." ”

None of the three dared to answer the words of the emperor's grandfather, and the emperor's grandfather was afraid that the movement of wiping his hands became faster and faster.

I suppressed my slightly beating heart, walked to the emperor's grandfather's side, and whispered: "The fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle are indeed all filial people, especially the fourth uncle, not only filial piety came from afar for the safety of the emperor's grandfather. Afraid that the thieves in the capital would spread to the Great Bao'en Temple, he specially asked his granddaughter to come back with him, and went up to protect him along the way. ”

The fourth uncle squinted his eyes slightly, glared at me fiercely, it was useless to stare at me, I had to tell the imperial grandfather that he threatened me, he wanted me to die, and he wanted the edict of succession in my hand.

However, when he stared at him like this, he naturally couldn't escape the eyes of the imperial grandfather, who coughed and did not take my accusation against the fourth uncle, but said: "The fourth child is generous, filial piety is tight, and he knows that he cares about An An." ”

The fourth uncle lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to stare at me anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and say hypocritical words: "It's all a family whose blood is thicker than water, and the eldest brother is not here, so I, as an uncle, naturally want to care about An An for the eldest brother." ”

The emperor's grandfather was full of joy and anger, even if I had lived in the palace for nearly ten years, I couldn't guess what was going on in his heart at this time.

The imperial grandfather threw the handkerchief on the ground, turned around and passed the long table, and sat on the dragon chair: "Fourth, fifth, seventh, you came to protect me, how many people did you bring?" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

The three of them slammed their foreheads on the ground in fear.

"Say them one by one!" The emperor's grandfather ordered: "The fourth brother will speak first. ”

The fourth uncle was named again, hesitated for a moment, and said with a shudder: "Back to my father, Erchen brought 3,600 cavalry, more than 600 people entered the imperial city, and the remaining 3,000 people were ten miles outside the imperial city, and then fifty miles outside the imperial city, hiding 50,000 elite troops from Erchen. ”

Xu Chengen brought the tea, I stepped forward and put the tea in the hand of the imperial grandfather, the imperial grandfather held on the arm of the dragon chair, and his fingers tapped gently: "What about the fifth?" ”

The fifth uncle replied: "There are too many thieves in Erchen, there are more than the fourth brother, 4,000 light cavalry guards, all of them will enter the imperial city, and there will be 80,000 elite troops later." ”

The imperial grandfather knocked on the arm of the dragon chair, and it became heavier and heavier, and his eyes looked directly at Uncle Seven, with a hint of grinding teeth: "What about the old seven?" ”

The seventh uncle slowly raised his eyes, touched the eyes of the emperor's grandfather, and hurriedly lowered it again: "Back to my father, the sons are not as powerful as the two elder brothers, and they only brought more than 8,000 crossbow archers, and there are 2,000 people who entered the imperial city." ”

The imperial grandfather stopped knocking on the fingers on the armrests of the dragon chair, and his hands were suddenly held under the armrests of the wheelchair, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were slightly prominent, revealing that the imperial grandfather's heart was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

He leaned forward slightly, and looked at the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, and the seventh uncle below: "What the fourth brother just said is right, they are all a family, and they have to support each other. ”

Grandfather Huang paused as he spoke, the corners of his mouth showed a slight sneer, and he continued: "More than 140,000 soldiers and horses, you find a way to make up a whole number, leave people behind, and give them to An An as gifts." ”
