Especially when I heard Sima Hongyan say that two sisters were captured by the rebels, and even the knife was put on their necks, I was even more worried.

At this time, seeing that the emperor had not considered the safety of these ministers at all, it made them feel very uncomfortable.

Emperor Yanzhen, who was dissatisfied with the ministers, immediately felt it, and secretly complained in his heart that Sima Hongyan had too many words, and hurriedly said in a cover-up: "The hundred officials in my court are the pillars of Yanling, and they can't fall into the hands of the traitorous party, so it seems that this matter needs to be considered again." Sima Hongyan, you are also a third-rank military general in the court now, I don't know what you can do? ”

Sima Hongyan said without hesitation: "Give way!" ”

"Boom" The ministers were frightened by Sima Hongyan's bold remarks, and even Emperor Yanzhen bounced up from the dragon chair, no one expected Sima Hongyan to say such a thing.

Yan Hong always stood quietly beside Sima Hongyan, and at this time, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Sima Hongyan in surprise. Only the second prince, Yan Ze, had a bright eye, and looked at Sima Hongyan with a dark smile.

Seeing that everyone was about to point the finger at themselves again, Sima Hongyan said: "Your Majesty! What the courtier means is to make the six princes think that you will give way! ”

Emperor Yanzhen didn't understand, but he felt that Sima Hongyan was implicitly mysterious, so he sat down again and asked, "You tell me in detail, how do you think I will give way?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Your Majesty! Before the courtiers entered the palace, they went to see the six princes. And there is still one person by the side of the sixth prince, and it is this person who helped the sixth prince plan this rebellion. I wonder if the emperor knows who this person is? ”

Emperor Yanzhen looked at the surrounding princes, all shook their heads, and asked curiously, "Who is it?" ”

Sima Hongyan's voice was amplified a lot, and he replied: "Dongning Lanshuang! ”

"Is that her?" Almost everyone let out an exclamation, especially the eldest prince Yan Qi was even more embarrassed, Lan Shuang was the person Dong Ning originally wanted to marry him. Lan Shuang is all-round in civil and military affairs, and his appearance is beautiful, and he has been happy for this in private for several days. However, later Emperor Yanzhen meant that he planned to marry Sima Hongyan to Dongning, which made Yan Qi depressed for several days.

Emperor Yanzhen asked, "Are you saying that Lan Shuang is the one who is behind the traitor?" Do you have proof? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Not only did she make suggestions for the rebellion of the six princes, but even she was the one who kidnapped the courtiers and visited the Yanling military camp at night. If it is evidence, I don't know if she admitted it to her courtiers in person, is it considered evidence? ”

Although Sima Hongyan never does things according to common sense, and she is an elf and eccentric, she will never be ambiguous in her business, since she said it so definitely at this time, almost no one present doubted her.

Seeing that everyone in the hall still didn't know the details, Sima Hongyan simply said directly: "This civil strife in the capital was planned and executed by the Six Princes and Dongning in collusion. Dongning had already made a deal with the sixth prince in private, and Dongning helped the sixth prince seize the throne, and what conditions the sixth prince promised them, the courtiers didn't know yet. The sixth prince is monitored everywhere in the capital, and he can't do anything, so the contact and bribery of the rebels are all done by Dongning.

The Five Kingdoms Tournament provided an opportunity for Dongning to enter Yanling in a legitimate manner, which made it easier for them to plan the details with the Six Princes and reach an agreement with the rebels within Yanling. However, during this period, there was a situation that they did not expect, that is, the red-faced female army advocated by the courtiers.

The emperor still remembers that the courtiers once said in this hall that the role of the red-faced female army is a team with intelligence, surveillance, espionage, assassination, etc. as its main functions, and the emperor also strongly supports it. This made the sixth prince, who had not yet been prepared at that time, feel threatened, so the sixth prince personally went to Sima Mansion to express his intention to woo, but was rejected by the courtiers on the spot. ”

What Sima Hongyan said in the hall at this time, many people knew some things and some things didn't know. Even Emperor Yanzhen didn't know everything. Sima Hongyan now connected the whole thing from beginning to end and told it eloquently, which made the original foggy beginning and end begin to become clear.

In fact, Emperor Yanzhen has always wondered how this sixth brother, who has always been controlled by him, can rebel. On the premise of not knowing it, tens of thousands of Yanling rebels were trapped. He once suspected that it was not his sixth brother who rebelled, but someone else, and raising the name of the sixth prince was just a trick to rebel against the party. At this time, after listening to Sima Hongyan's narration, I realized that Dongning was secretly assisting, and the Dongning people who helped the sixth brother to rebel were actually invited by him, and Emperor Yanzhen was so angry by this kind of teasing.

Sima Hongyan didn't know Emperor Yanzhen's complicated feelings at the moment, she continued: "The six princes can't win over, but they don't pay too much attention to the courtiers and female soldiers, after all, it can't be a climate when it is just established. However, Yanling has an absolute advantage in the Five Nations Competition, and the female army has made great contributions, which makes the Six Princes and the people of Dongning worried. If their affairs were discovered, they would definitely be in vain, and they would be imprisoned, so it happened that Lan Shuangye visited the female military camp and the kidnapping of the courtiers. ”

Everyone shouted "Oh" again, and suddenly realized!

Sima Hongyan continued: "After the Five Kingdoms Competition, the people of Dongning have always stayed in Yanling, ostensibly to discuss the matter of marriage with relatives, but in fact, secretly they are planning a detailed plan for rebellion. However, it was an unexpected move by the women's army at the time that inadvertently disrupted their plans.

The courtiers were kidnapped to Dongning, and after thinking about it, they found that we must have Dongning's internal response in Yanling, so the courtiers ordered the women's army to secretly investigate who in the court had private contact with the Dongning people. The people of Dongning were afraid that their affairs with the six princes would be discovered, so they made another proposal to the emperor to make peace, that is, to ask their courtiers to marry them in Dongning. Their purpose was to either control the courtiers in their hands, or force the courtiers away, and the courtiers fell for their strategy at that time and chose to stay away from the capital to hide.

The female army left Beijing, and the threat of the Dongning people and the Six Princes disappeared, and it was they who were given the opportunity. The courtiers guessed that it should have been the time when an agreement was reached with today's rebels, so on the occasion of the early dynasty of the hundred officials, the six princes raised troops to raise an incident, which led to today's difficulty in besieging the city. On the one hand, Dongning helped the six princes to plan and strategize, and on the other hand, they transferred troops everywhere. Once the sixth prince wins the throne, while his foundation is not stable and Yanling is turbulent, I am afraid that it will be the time when Dongning will capture Yanling on a large scale. ”

Sima Hongyan explained the entire incident clearly and thoroughly, and everyone present understood. Once the Sixth Princes succeeded in usurping the throne, Yanling would face a large-scale invasion from Dongning. The six princes have just seized the throne and have no prestige, the officials are not convinced, the people do not believe it, and the officers and soldiers have no fighting spirit, so they will inevitably be caught off guard by the Dongning people, and maybe Dongning will take this opportunity to take Yanling as his own in one fell swoop. What a despicable and insidious ploy!

Sima Hongyan's words shocked and relieved Emperor Yanzhen, and he fully understood why Sima Hongyan was willing to take the risk to return to the palace, because the six princes and Dongning's repeated calculations against her made her find ways to prevent the six princes from succeeding in rebellion.

Regardless of whether Sima Hongyan is public or private, it is all beneficial to Emperor Yanzhen.

Emperor Yanzhen asked, "It turns out that there are so many origins in between, and I really don't know everything. In this case, Sima Aiqing will talk about your plan! ”

Sima Hongyan was about to speak, but suddenly felt that it was better to keep an eye on it, so he changed his words and said, "Your Majesty! This matter is very important, it is better to let the courtiers only tell you alone! ”

Emperor Yanzhen smiled and beckoned to Sima Hongyan.

Sima Hongyan strode onto the high platform, and first saw the eldest prince Yanqi. Yan Qi smiled and said to Sima Hongyan: "Hongyan! I've worked hard for you, you still ......" halfway through his words, he saw that Sima Hongyan didn't look at him, and walked directly past him, making Yan Qi embarrassed to stay in place and at a loss.

When he came to Emperor Yanzhen, Sima Hongyan whispered in his ear, and the hundreds of people present were stunned to look at the whispers of these two people, only to see that the originally gloomy face of Emperor Yanzhen gradually unfolded, and in the end, there was a little smile.

It was nearly dusk, and half of the twelve hours had passed since the appointment with Sima Hongyan. In the prince's mansion, Lan Shuang turned over and sat up from the bed, his brows furrowed into a ball, an indescribable look of disgust, and he looked down at his body full of scratches, eager to kill the man lying next to him immediately.

Just as he wanted to get dressed and put on, he suddenly grabbed his arm by the person next to him, and asked in a low voice, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Lan Shuang turned his head, put on a shy look, and said softly: "The prince has been tossing for two hours, isn't it enough?" ”

Yan Hao lay on his side, pillowed his head with one hand, pulled Lan Shuang back from the side of the bed with the other, and said softly: "It's still early, this king hasn't finished his fun." Xiao Shuang'er has worked so hard that this king can't stop! As he spoke, he pulled Lan Shuang back into his arms and slid his fingers over her with his fingers.

Lan Shuang suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Wang! Now that we haven't accomplished a big thing, we are still lingering here, isn't it too timely? When the prince ascends to the throne, Shuang'er is the queen, and naturally serves the prince every day! ”

Looking at the white and tender skin like snow in front of him, Yan Hao's eyes lit up, and his heart was ready to move, and he said with a chuckle: "This king has been trapped in the capital for so many years, and he has never had a happy time, and he is trembling every day, lest the imperial brother will send someone to take my life in the next moment." I haven't taken the throne yet, but these days have been the most relaxing for me. Especially with the company of such a beautiful woman as you, this king feels even happier than taking the throne! ”
