Chapter 301: Letting the Innocent Go

Sima Hongyan was obviously stunned, shook his head and said, "The jade seal is not here with me!" ”

Lan Shuangdao: "I admit that your three holy decrees have indeed helped the prince a lot, and I also temporarily think that these sigils you brought are true, but why don't you bring the jade seal of the country as well?" Without the jade seal, how can the prince sit firmly on the throne? Didn't you think of this question? ”

Sima Hongyan secretly said that Lan Shuang was really shrewd, with so many favorable conditions in front of her, she was not confused, and directly asked a key question.

However, Sima Hongyan has already had a solution to this problem, she laughed contemptuously a few times and said: "Miss Lanshuang, you claim to be smart, but you must know that I am not a fool." If these things are here, then what chips do I have to exchange conditions with the prince? If you kill our sisters directly, and then command the army to kill the people in the palace, I'm afraid I have no choice at all, right? Although I like to mess around, I also regret my life, and I always have to leave a way back for myself and my sisters. The jade seal is in the palace, in the hands of the emperor, as long as the prince abides by the agreement with the emperor and lets go of these innocent people, the emperor will naturally hand over the jade seal to the prince. ”

Lan Shuangdao: "You are an excuse, how do I know if it's true or not?" Let you go, and the jade seal will also be smuggled out by you, aren't we fooled? ”

Sima Hongyan said disdainfully: "Miss Lanshuang, you are quite pedantic, the jade seal is just a big seal, you can make one by just finding a craftsman, now that all the runes are here, what can a jade seal prove?" Even if Miss Lan Shuang, what you said is right, then the prince recreates a jade seal, and says that it is a jade seal of the country, who can tell it? Things have come to this point, and they won't change because of a jade seal, right? ”

Sima Hongyan's idea is that she is different from others, and she is afraid that she can say the words of recreating a jade seal, but what she said can't be refuted, although it is a bit rebellious, but it is a good way.

Yan Hao nodded slightly after hearing this, feeling that there was really no need to worry too much about the problem of the jade seal.

Who knew that Lan Shuang did not relent, and said with a sneer: "In that case, it is completely okay to kill you now, since the jade seal can be rebuilt, then you have nothing to rely on!" ”

Sima Hongyan also sneered: "Outsiders are outsiders after all, and I'm afraid only Miss Lan Shuang dares to say such shameless things here." It's easy to kill us, and it's easy to kill all the people in the Imperial City. But have you ever thought about it, once you do this, the prince will become the most untrustworthy person in the world, so how can the people believe that the prince can be a good emperor? How can these generals who risked their lives to get into trouble with the prince trust the prince again? How can a person without credibility be worthy of being the master of this Yanling? ”

Sima Hongyan's tone became more and more aggressive, and the blue face was red and white for a while, but he was speechless, and he couldn't help but be furious, and pulled out his long sword with a "swish".

"Stop! Stand down! Yan Hao shouted angrily at Lan Shuang.

"You!" Lan Shuang didn't expect Yan Hao to scold himself in front of everyone.

Yan Hao's eyes flashed with indifference, and he looked at Lan Shuang and said gloomily: "If you talk nonsense to this king again, believe it or not, this king will kill you first?" ”

Although Lan Shuang was angry, he knew that Yan Hao was not scaring her, so he angrily withdrew his long sword and retreated back with a pale face.

Yan Hao looked at Sima Hongyan again, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Since you have done so sincerely, and this king has also let you see the sincerity of this king, you can now go and take those people out of the capital. But I also want to remind you that you'd better not play any tricks. Also, the children of the Yan family are not allowed to leave the palace. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I'll stay here, the prince can rest assured." After speaking, he said to Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying: "You take those people out of the capital, I hope that after tonight, Yanling can return to peace." ”

Although they were worried about Sima Hongyan's safety, but now Sima Hongyan's words were orders, Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying reluctantly held hands with Sima Hongyan, turned around and got on the horse.

At the same time, Yan Hao ordered the army to guard both sides of the street, open a way for them to get out of the city, and check the identities of these people at the same time. Then another group of soldiers waited for these people to leave the imperial city, and immediately went in to surround the palace, waiting for his next order.

Sima Hongyan got on the horse and followed behind Yan Hao with three holy decrees, and several guards followed her to monitor and guard.

However, Yan Hao looked at Sima Hongyan, who was not far behind him, and saw that she was also looking at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, so he smiled at her, and he didn't plan to regret what he promised her! Lan Shuang followed Yan Hao's side, and Yan Hao's every move did not escape her eyes, and she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, and couldn't help but start thinking about what way to put Sima Hongyan to death.

The rebels stood by in order, starting from both sides of the imperial city gates, and two human walls were lined up one by one, each holding a torch in his hand, making the dark night as bright as day. The torches lined up like a huge fire dragon, winding towards the outside of the city, which was quite spectacular at a cold glance.

Yan Hao and Lan Shuang came to the gate of the inner city, found a high platform and rode up, looking at the gate of the imperial city condescendingly.

The civil and military officials and harem ladies in the imperial city had been waiting there for a long time, and in order to protect their safety, the forbidden army surrounded them in a circle and blocked them in the middle.

Seeing that everything was ready, Sima Hongyan took a long breath and shouted loudly at the city gate: "Ladies and ladies of the harem, listen up, the emperor and the prince have reached an agreement and will let you out of the city. After leaving the city, you can go to Shili Town, which is ten miles away, and settle down temporarily, and if you are not summoned in the future, you are not allowed to enter Beijing at will. That's all for you, let's do it yourself! Now you can come out! ”

What Sima Hongyan said just now was not instructed by Yan Hao, but after listening to it, Yan Hao smiled and nodded, as if what Sima Hongyan said was exactly what he wanted.

The first was a few forbidden soldiers who walked out first with shields, looking at the rebels on both sides as if they wanted to breathe fire, but they were quite able to restrain themselves, and walked out slowly on both sides, and when about four or five hundred forbidden troops came out, followed by those ministers in the court, at this time they had already taken off their official hats, took off the official mansion, and walked out of the forbidden army in embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, even the official hat of the government was removed, Yan Hao quietly glanced at Sima Hongyan standing under the stage, guessing that this was probably also Sima Hongyan's proposition. Especially when those ministers and generals saw Sima Hongyan behind the human wall, everyone showed resentment, which made Yan Hao trust Sima Hongyan a little bit.

Yan Hao, the people in the court, knew everything, and he came to see it in person to make sure that the Yan family was not mixed in the crowd, but as Sima Hongyan said, all the ministers who came out were all ministers, and he knew them all, and he didn't bring anyone else.

Seeing that the ministers had all come out, Yan Hao suddenly asked Sima Hongyan in the audience: "It seems that there are a few people missing, I don't know why I didn't see Lord Liu Song and Lord Zhao Jingzhong?" ”

The two people Yan Hao asked were the former commanders of today's rebels, and Liu Song was the deputy commander who was bought by Yan Hao, and it was he who privately handed over the military power to the hands of the sixth prince, Yan Hao. The other Zhao Jingzhong is the orthodox leader, and he doesn't know about Liu Song's bribery.

Originally, only Zhao Jingzhong entered the court every time he went to the court, but in order to grasp the situation in the court, Yan Hao asked Liu Song to also enter the court to do internal response.

But this situation is not easy to handle, because the law of Yanling is never allowed to be without generals in the army, and the two commanders are not in the army, so wouldn't the tens of thousands of garrisons outside the city become a group of dragons without a leader.

Lan Shuang came up with a plan and sent people to create rumors outside the capital, saying that there might be people outside the capital who were preparing to rebel, and asked Liu Song to lie that there was an urgent military situation before entering the palace after Zhao Jingzhong.

Not long after Liu Song entered, Yan Hao commanded the 30,000 garrisons outside the city to rise up, directly captured the capital, besieged the inner imperial city, and trapped Liu Song and a cadre of ministers in the main hall of the court.

Yan Hao asked these two people because he had doubts in his heart, and he didn't see Liu Song after looking in the crowd for a long time. Liu Song was the eyeliner he arranged to enter the court, and this time the palace forced Sima Hongyan's intervention to be a little out of his plan, so Yan Hao needed to get some information from Liu Song to confirm the authenticity. But who knew that the officials had all come out, but they didn't see Liu Song and Zhao Jingzhong, and Yan Hao suddenly had a dangerous signal in his mind.

When Sima Hongyan heard Yan Hao ask about Liu Song and Zhao Jingzhong, he replied without thinking about it: "Those two people were cut down by the emperor's order!" ”

Yan Hao and Lan Shuang were both shocked, and Yan Hao asked urgently, "Why?" ”

Sima Hongyan raised his head and looked at Yan Hao and said, "Lord Wang! These two people entered the court at the same time regardless of their own army, and immediately after their soldiers rebelled, how could the emperor bypass them? Even if they are not accomplices, the crime of dereliction of duty is unforgivable, so the emperor directly asked the forbidden army to cut off the heads of the two! How? Is the prince looking for something to find an adult? ”

Yan Hao frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "It's okay!" ”

And Sima Hongyan immediately confirmed that the person who assisted Yan Hao's rebellion must be Liu Song at the moment when Yan Hao opened his mouth to ask her, because Zhao Jingzhong is the orthodox leader and Liu Song is the deputy commander, but when Yan Hao asked, it was Liu Song who asked first, and then Zhao Jingzhong, it seems that the difference between the priorities of these two people has been inadvertently revealed by Yan Hao, can this Sima Hongyan still guess!

In fact, Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Song were detained by Emperor Yanzhen, and Sima Hongyan concluded that the rebellion of these two subordinate soldiers must have a direct relationship with these two commanders. But Zhao and Liu both shouted that they were wronged, and Sima Hongyan couldn't judge who might be the internal response, so for the sake of insurance, Sima Hongyan asked Emperor Yanzhen to tie up the two of them and hide them.

Sima Hongyan's answer didn't seem to be a problem, the rebels and the forbidden army had been fighting for more than ten days, and people who knew them would have already seen that these rebels were subordinates of Zhao Jingzhong and Liu Song, and it was not too much for Yan Zhen to hold them accountable and kill these two people, and it was very reasonable.

Yan Hao secretly thought that he was careless, and he didn't expect this section. Unable to confirm with Neiying, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

At this time, most of the ladies of the harem also walked out, and Yan Hao also saw the queen mother who was supported by the palace maid and walked out. And when the Queen Mother saw Yan Hao and Sima Hongyan, she couldn't help but point at them and scolded: "You shameless rats who rebel against the king and bring disaster to the country, if you don't die, you will definitely be broken into pieces." ”
