Chapter 238: Refusal
But the emperor didn't want Zhao Yiyan to say it at all, and before he could finish speaking, he asked the guards to take people away directly.
When Zhao Yiyan returned to the palace, he was naturally greeted by the steward, and Zhao Yiyan asked him to tell him everything that happened.
"Lord Wang, you see that your body has just improved a little, so let's rest for a few days before finding a way."
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Yiyan, who was still emaciated, and said worriedly.
"Zhongli is in prison now, how can I, the eldest brother, recuperate in the mansion? If it weren't for my second brother, how could I have come out of prison safely! And now that the conquest of the border city is about to break out, I really ......"
Zhao Yiyan didn't know how much Zhongli had done for himself during this time, but the words in the court reached his ears, and he could almost foresee what kind of anger the emperor would be that day.
And now that he not only couldn't rescue Zhongli, but also let the emperor put him under house arrest in disguise, how could he not be worried and not in a hurry?
"But now that the emperor is clearly angry, what if the emperor is guilty? Even if you go to the border city, can you really go into battle and kill the enemy? If you do go wrong, the morale of the entire Apocalypse will surely plummet. ”
The butler was even more worried.
Since the war in the border city started, only the god of war of the Apocalypse can quell this war, but Zhao Yiyan is in such a physical condition that even if he goes to the battlefield, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to return safely.
What if something happens to him? It's like two children fighting, and there is a child's parents standing in the back, so he has absolutely a stake in the fight, because he has the confidence! On the other hand, children without parents have no courage after seeing each other's fathers, let alone fighting afterwards! Pure beating!
"But now the problem is that the emperor doesn't want me to go to the battlefield, let alone agree to release Zhongli. Why don't you go and ...... now."
It's just that Zhao Yiyan hasn't said much before he is stopped by the housekeeper.
"Ouch, King Qingyang, can you just stop for a while? You look at your bones, you can't stand up straight, right? If you have any plans to talk about it tomorrow, the minions will help you in and sleep for now. ”
Seeing Zhao Yiyan so persistent, the housekeeper didn't say anything anymore, and supported Zhao Yiyan and asked him to go back to his room to rest.
"Go to the study first, I want to write a letter to General Wang in the border city!"
Finding that the road in front of him led to the bedroom, Zhao Yiyan frowned slightly and directly asked the housekeeper to help him back to the study.
Before he came back, he was worried that something would happen to the border city, so he made some arrangements, and he was worried that if General Wang went over, he might not be able to convince the public because of his strangeness. If you have your own credit, you may get twice the result with half the effort.
Although the housekeeper was worried, he could only help Zhao Yiyan to the study.
Enduring the discomfort on his arm, Zhao Yiyan wrote a long letter, looking at the dense words on it, the housekeeper could only stand aside worriedly and look at the worried Zhao Yiyan but couldn't think of a way to persuade him.
After sealing the written fold seriously and handing it over, Zhao Yiyan raised his eyes and looked at the housekeeper beside him.
"This website is going to rest now, you send this letter over immediately, remember, this is a matter related to the life and death of the people in the border city, and there can be no mistakes on the way."
"Yes, lord."
The butler bowed slightly and said.
After doing all this, the housekeeper thought that Zhao Yiyan would go back to the room to rest, but he sat directly on the chair behind him, his brows still tightened.
"Contact the fourth prince secretly to see if he has time to come to the mansion."
At present, this matter can only be discussed by the four princes, and in the capital, it can only be the four princes who can help, and what they can say in front of the emperor.
As for Zhao Shan'er, based on what he heard in his coma, she doesn't think she's in a good condition now, right?
The little girl is smart and smart, but she is extremely simple, without the shrewd Concubine Qi Niangniang behind her to support and plan, the future will not be very good.
"Yes, the old slave will go now."
After bowing, the butler left the study.
I don't know how the housekeeper found the fourth prince, and when the fourth prince came to the Qingyang palace in the afternoon, of course, all this was secret, and no one knew.
"General, this body is just better, why don't you take a good rest?"
Zhao Zijian took a sip of the hot tea brought by the maidservant and said, he knew who Zhao Yiyan was looking for him, but he was also worried, but at present, he was being jealous of the emperor and didn't dare to do anything.
"If I were to be you, would you be able to rest?"
There are strong enemies on the outside, and there is a younger brother who is detained by the emperor, Zhao Yiyan is anxious at this time, he twisted his eyebrows and looked at the relaxed fourth prince in front of him and said dissatisfied.
If it weren't for Zhongli, how could he be so relaxed now? If it burned like Zhao Yiyan, the emperor would not have his turn to do it, after all, his father would never allow a person with such shortcomings to ascend to the throne, but Zhongli, who rescued them from the fire, is now locked in prison by the emperor.
"If the general secretly came to me today to find a way to rescue Zhongli, then I think I may not be able to do anything."
Zhao Zijian said apologetically,
"Although the situation that day was very favorable to me, it does not mean that the emperor can lower his vigilance against me, if I make any more moves, I believe that the emperor will be the first to do it to me, so this time Zhongli matter, I really can't help you. However, if King Qingyang can leave the capital and go to the border city, I think the emperor may be more at ease with Zhongli at that time. ”
Zhao Yiyan was also carried away by anxiety, and as soon as Zhao Zijian said this, he gradually began to clear up.
Letting Zhao Zijian persuade the emperor now is undoubtedly pushing him into a dangerous situation, and Zhao Zijian is most concerned about whether he can succeed to the throne now, and he will not do anything at all if Zhongli saves him from the fire.
But without Zhao Zijian, who else can help Zhongli?
Zhao Zijian's eyes kept looking at Zhao Yiyan, and that sad look made Zhao Zijian sigh.
"But Zhongli will definitely be fine this time, it's just a matter of time, and the general still doesn't have to worry."
His father took down one of Zhongli because Zhongli was disrespectful, and the other was because he wanted to force her to marry Zhao Shan'er, but he secretly speculated that it was because of the relationship between Zhongli and Zhao Yiyan, if Zhongli jumped in front of the emperor's eyes every day, it might make his father think about that matter all the time and think of Prince Anqing.
But if Zhongli hadn't been released for a long time, at least there would be others.
After all, Zhongli was not the only emperor who saved.
"How can you not be worried?"
Zhao Yiyan smiled bitterly and reached out to rub his forehead.
He knew that he cared too much about Zhongli, and he knew that his current thoughts were a little too much, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of the sins that Zhongli had suffered.
Listening to the narration of the people around him, Zhongli has been by his side for the past few days in prison, and he didn't have time to look at Zhongli when he came to his senses, even if Zhongli was not tortured in prison now, but after a long time, who still remembers everything Zhongli did?
Maybe the emperor has forgotten about people a long time ago!
"If the general wants to save Zhongli, I think the general should go to Shan'er, after all, that incident made the emperor love Shan'er even more, maybe the emperor can listen to what Shan'er says. What's more, this matter was started by Shan'er, and it should be solved by Shan'er. ”
Zhao Yiyan thought about it seriously, and seeing that Zhao Zijian in front of him really didn't want to help, he nodded lightly
"Since the four princes have said so, I won't say anything, I just hope that the four princes can help me contact the seventh princess and deliver a letter or something."
After all, she is the princess of the apocalypse, and even he, a general, is not able to meet the royal princess casually.
Men and women are seven years old at different tables, and now he can only write letters.
Although Zhao Shan'er may not be able to help, it is better than nothing.
"You don't need you to remind me of this, I think Shan'er will help with the talking, too."
After speaking, Zhao Zijian got up and patted the flat robe.
"If it's okay, this king will go back first, after all, staying in Qingyang Palace's mansion for a long time is not good for both of us, even if it's secret."
On the second day, the Imperial Study
The emperor frowned at Zhao Yiyan's note begging the emperor to release Zhongli.
The emperor angrily threw the song to the ground and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, this Zhao Yiyan really doesn't know what to do, if it weren't for the fact that the Apocalypse needs him, a general, to come forward to quell the war, he thought I would let him out because he wanted to intercede with Zhongli? It's really looking for death! ”
Quan Fu watched the angry emperor respectfully walk to the emperor's side and silently handed over a cup of ginseng tea.
"Your Majesty, don't be angry, this King Qingyang is also worried that his righteous brother will do it at this time. This shows that King Qingyang values love and righteousness, doesn't it? If you are the kind of person who has a sweet mouth and a sword, your majesty, you should be in a hurry! ”
The affairs of the court are not something that he, his father-in-law, can say more, and Quan Fu can only mention the relationship between Zhao Yiyan and Zhongli.
"I really think that the Apocalypse will not work without him as a general, if he Zhao Yiyan is not ready to go to the battlefield, then don't go to the battlefield, I don't believe it, there is no one in the entire Apocalypse who is brave and good at fighting!"
The emperor stared at the folds on the ground, it seemed that it was Zhao Yiyan himself, and he couldn't wait for him to be pulled out and executed.
"The emperor is angry, King Qingyang understands that Your Majesty will not be saying anything if you insist."
Quan Fu persuaded on the side, and by the way, he continued to polish ink for the emperor.
The Emperor snorted coldly again, ignoring the folds that were still on the ground, and continued to check the other folds on the desk.
This originally angry mood was even more angry, almost all of the twists and turns were border city battles, and there was one news after another that made him angry.
Zhao Yiyan waited for news in the mansion, hoping that the emperor would be able to release Zhongli after seeing his play.
But when he was presented early in the morning, knowing that he hadn't seen any news from the palace at sunset, Zhao Yiyan couldn't sit still.
"Come on, prepare the horses!"
Zhao Yiyan shouted outside the study, and he also got up and prepared to leave the house.
"Lord Wang, it's so late, where are you going?"
The housekeeper looked at Zhao Yiyan, who was about to go out in a hurry, and asked.
"I'm going to go into the palace to find the emperor!"
After speaking, with the support of the little servant, he sat on the steed led by the servant, waved the whip in his hand, and the steed galloped out.
Before the housekeeper could stop him, he couldn't see Zhao Yiyan's figure.
Outside the palace, Zhao Yiyan dismounted and prepared to enter the palace, but was stopped by the guards at the palace gate.
"The emperor has an order, King Qingyang is not allowed to enter the palace for the time being, if there is anything important, please wait for the emperor to summon it."
It must be the emperor's order for the guards to say such things, and now that they can't enter the palace, they can't face the saints, so how can they persuade the emperor to let Zhongli go?
Even though he was rejected to face the saint, Zhao Yiyan still wrote to the emperor day by day, asking the emperor to release Zhongli. But these recitals were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.
In the palace, the emperor has ordered that King Qingyang is not allowed to enter the palace, let alone go to court. There are also twists and turns, as long as Zhao Yiyan's are all selected, there is no need to correct them.
One of the tasks Quanfu does every day now is to pick out Zhao Yiyan's recitals, and sigh while choosing.
For several days, the king of Qingyang still did not give up, knowing that the emperor would not watch his recitals, but he still sent them to the palace one by one.
In the past few days, Zhao Yiyan has not been in the mood to recuperate his body, and he has been worrying about Zhongli's affairs every day, compared to after he woke up, he seems to be even thinner.
It is already impossible to write to the emperor in person, and now there is only the seventh princess, hoping that the princess can persuade the emperor to let Zhongli go.
In addition, someone who was in the capital quietly did another thing, that is, he ordered someone to quietly spread the New Year's Festival in the capital, the most important thing was that Zhongli saved the emperor, the prince and the princess, and even spread what Zhongli had done before to put a little pressure on the emperor.
If the emperor punishes a person who saved the royal life, as well as the previous General Shen, the people will complain more about the emperor.
