Chapter 301: The Change of the Court

readx;?“ What? Do you want Lord Han to return to Jinling City immediately to restore his life?" **** Qian looked at the Emperor Ling with an unbelievable expression, his eyes quickly scanned the people in the Golden Palace, and his mind was also thinking rapidly, "But now that the war in Northern Xinjiang is in full swing, is Your Majesty's move ......?"

"You just have to pass on your life!" Without waiting for **** Qian's words to finish, Emperor Yan Chong waved his hand nonchalantly, "This emperor ordered him to come back, naturally there is a good reason, you don't have to ask!"

"In that case, then why doesn't Your Majesty send an internal official to go at will, and prefer to order the ministers to go?" **** Qian is so smart, he realized that the emperor had made up his mind, so he simply changed his question, trying to find out some secrets from the strange atmosphere in the court today.

"Hmph!" Sure enough, hearing **** Qian's words, before the emperor could speak, Yan Lie suddenly snorted coldly, and then shouted in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has already sent Bai Qi to Han Xiao's camp to convey the emperor's order, but Han Xiao is so bold that he is disrespectful!"

"What?" As soon as Yan Lie's words came out, **** Qiandang shook his body, stumbled under his feet, and his face became extremely pale in an instant, he knew very well what it meant to disobey the emperor's order. At the same time, Lan Shixun, who was standing aside, had a smug look on his face very inadvertently.

"Lord Han, he ......"

"Lord Lu!" Without waiting for **** Qian to speak, Yan Yi suddenly interrupted, "I'm afraid you have to change your name now, and now there is no Lord Han in this court!"

"Hiss!" Yan Yi said, and **** Qian, who was shocked again, couldn't help but gasp, only to see his eyes looking at Yan Yi in horror, as if waiting for him to continue.

"It's not a secret! Just now, His Majesty has ordered the Han family to be put on death row, and when Han Xiao comes back, His Majesty will make a decision together!" Yan Yi stared at **** Qian coldly, his tone was extremely indifferent, and his shrewd old eyes have been tightly locked on **** Qian's face, as long as **** Qian shows a little disobedience, he can detect it as soon as possible.

"This ......" **** Qian, who has not been able to discuss politics in the court for a long time, heard such shocking news one after another as soon as he came today, Rao is how smart and decisive he is on weekdays, and now he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Qian raised his head tremblingly, his eyes trembled and looked at Linghuang Yan Chong, and after a long time, he swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, forcibly endured the shock in his heart, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know Han Da...... Han Xiao, what crime did he commit?"

"In fact, just disobeying the emperor's order is enough for the emperor to put him to death!" "Emperor Yan Chong sneered, "But this matter is a long story that can not be explained in a few words, you just have to go to the northern Xinjiang to pass on the order first! Everything has to be decided after Han Xiao returns to the DPRK!"

"But ......"

"Remember! Han Xiao's life is not decided by the emperor, but life and death are always in his own hands! You see Han Xiao and tell him, don't take the wrong path! Because one wrong step is enough to fall into a place of no return!" Ling Huang Yan Chong said and waved his hand at **** Qian, signaling that he didn't need to say much. In fact, the emperor's words were not only said to Han Xiao, but also secretly reminded **** Qian.

Seeing this, **** Qian naturally didn't want to say anything more, because until now he hadn't fully figured out what all this was all about. Qian sorted out his thoughts a little, and then turned his hand and said, "There is still something to do, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

"You want to ask Lu Jun about them hurting Yan Ze in the Moon Tower, right?" Yan Yi broke through **** Qian's mind with a word, which made **** Qian's face flash with a touch of embarrassment.

"That's right! It's all because Lu has no way to discipline Lu Jun to make such a disobedient thing, I don't know how Yan Ze Gongzi is injured now? I still have some medicinal supplements that have been treasured for many years at home, and I have already ordered my subordinates to personally send them to Shengdong Wang's courtyard today! I also hope that Shengdong Wang and Yan Ze Gongzi will laugh and accept it!" Facing Yan Yi's displeased look, **** Qian hurriedly laughed.

"No need! Yan Ze's grandson's injury is no longer serious, let's wait until Lord Lu comes back from Northern Xinjiang!"

"Oh!

"Alright, you can all go down and do your own errands!" Ling Huang Yan Chong broke the deadlock in the Golden Palace, and finally his gaze fell on Lan Shixun's body, and said slowly, "Lan Shixun, you come with me!"

"Yes!"

Lan Shixun respectfully agreed, his slightly smug eyes glanced at **** Qian, whose face became more and more ugly, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but before the smile bloomed, he was forced to restrain it. Then Lan Shixun followed the pace of the Emperor and walked briskly towards the side hall.

Looking at the Emperor Ling and Lan Shixun who left by themselves, everyone in the Golden Palace, you look at me, I look at you, and I have no idea.

"Ahem, everyone retreat! Now that the emperor's order has been issued, I hope you can order it to be forbidden!" Yan Yi coughed a few times, and then after glancing at the other three holy kings, he dispersed the people in the hall.

"Brother Han, the Jinling court has changed, what you did this time is really confused......" After walking out of the Golden Palace, **** looked up to the sky and sighed, with a touch of helplessness and bitterness on his face.

......

In the side hall, Linghuang Yanchong sat behind the bookcase, while Lan Shixun stood in the hall in a regular manner, looking at the Linghuang with his head down and a humble face, while the Linghuang was drinking tea by himself, casually flipping through the volumes of ancient books on the bookcase, and it seemed that he didn't mean to talk about big things with Lan Shixun for a while.

An internal official standing on the side carefully waited for the emperor to look through the scriptures, and from time to time poured some new tea into the emperor's cup and served some snacks, and for a while the only sound in the side hall was the sound of the emperor turning over the ancient books, and the occasional sound of drinking tea, and other than that, there was no other movement.

In this way, the emperor looked at his book, and Lan Shixun stood motionless in front of the bookcase and waited, this station was a full four hours, and the sky was gradually approaching dusk from early morning.

As the light in the side hall gradually dimmed, the officials were very interested in lighting up several candlesticks in the hall, and the bright candlelight also brought a touch of mildness to the side hall.

"En!" Suddenly, Ling Huang Yan Chong turned his posture lazily, and then slowly put an ancient book in his hand on the bookcase, and then asked softly while bowing his head and drinking tea, "How many years has Lan Gong been in the court?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been ten years!" Lan Shixun replied with a chuckle, his attitude was very humble, and he subconsciously bowed forward lightly when he spoke.

"En!" Yan Chong nodded casually, then raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lan Shixun with deep meaning in his eyes, and said lightly, "Han Xiao disobeyed, this emperor wants to hear what you think?"

Hearing Yan Chong's words, Lan Shixun's heart couldn't help but tremble, and after a slight mutter, he slowly spoke: "In the opinion of the minister, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, and Lord Han should not be disloyal to His Majesty!"

"Oh?" Lan Shixun's words surprised Yan Chong slightly, only to see him look at Lan Shixun suspiciously, with a look on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Are you speaking for Han Xiao?"

"Discord is not harmony! But this matter is very important, and the minister must not slander Lord Han for having a heart of disobedience because of personal grievances!" Lan Shixun's righteous words and sincerity of his attitude made the emperor unable to see the slightest clue, "What's more, Lord Han is the minister of the humerus of the Holy Domain, and he has made countless contributions to the Holy Domain over the years, and he has the reputation of the first military general in the Holy Domain! If it is said that Lord Han has a disobedient heart to His Majesty, Lan Mou is the first to disagree!"

"Yes!" Yan Chong nodded with a wry smile, then pointed lightly to the chair on the side, motioned for Lan Shixun to sit down, and then chuckled, "But it is precisely because Han Xiao has made great contributions to this emperor, so he has bad intentions now, and this emperor will not be surprised at all!"

Lan Shixun, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again after hearing Yan Chong's words, and deliberately showed a look of great surprise on his face: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?

"The emperor will ask you a word!" Seeing Lan Shixun's reaction so great, Yan Chong actually nodded with satisfaction, in his heart, Lan Shixun was still very immature compared to Han Xiao and **** Qian, and this was Yan Chong's biggest reliance on thinking that he could control Lan Shixun, "Do you think that among the three princes of the Holy Realm today, who has the greatest credit? Who has the least credit? and how much is the difference between them?"

"This ......" Lan Shixun heard this, and couldn't help but think carefully in his mind, he always felt that there was something in today's emperor's words, but he was afraid that if he answered a little carelessly, he would end up with the same fate as Han Xiao, so every word Lan Shixun said at the moment had to be thought about over and over again for a long time, "In all fairness, Lan feels that in terms of credit, Han Xiao is naturally the biggest protector of the country, followed by Wen Dinggong**** Qian, and Lan has the least credit!" If you compare the merits between Lan and Lord Han Xiao, I'm afraid it can be compared to the gap between Candlelight and Haoyue!"

"Haha...... This emperor can't see that Lan Gong is quite humble!" Yan Chong laughed, and with his laughter, Lan Shixun, who looked puzzled, could only laugh along, "It's just that Lan Gong, you seem to be modest, but in fact, you are mocking Han Xiao in every way!"

"Don't dare!" Hearing this, Lan Shixun hurriedly knelt on the ground with a look of panic.

"Get up, this emperor has a heart-to-heart conversation with you today, and you don't have to be so polite!" Yan Chong said with a light smile, "You are right, among the three dukes, it is indeed Han Xiao's greatest merit and status. And because of this, Han Xiao and you are the same three princes as the third prince will be dissatisfied!"

"Your Majesty means ......"

"Han Xiao's merits are not only above you, but even above the Four Great Saint Kings!" Yan Chong's face began to become a little gloomy, "In terms of meritorious deeds, Han Xiao could have been crowned king a long time ago, but because he is not a royal family, he can only be a protector of the country!" The Protector seems to be above 10,000 people under one person, but in fact it is not the case, even if it is a day or two, but Han Xiao has been doing this for more than ten years, during these years, Han Xiao has been loyal to the emperor, and has worked tirelessly for the Holy Domain, during which he has made countless contributions, but in the end, he will only get some things outside the body that the emperor has rewarded, and there will be no promotion!

"This ......" Yan Chong's words Lan Shixun was speechless for a while, and then deliberately made a trembling appearance, and said in disbelief, "The Protector of the Kingdom is already in power, unless it is the imperial Yan clan that can be crowned king, people with foreign surnames have never been crowned kings, Han Xiao shouldn't be dissatisfied with this, right?"

"But don't forget, on top of the throne, there is still a throne!" Yan Chong finally said what he wanted to say the most in his heart, and as soon as he said this, Lan Shixun's expression completely stiffened.

"Your Majesty means ...... Han Xiao wants to ascend to the throne?"

"That's good!" Yan Chong said with a grim smile, "There has been a precedent in the Holy Domain since ancient times for the Western Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Jinghai, so it's not surprising that he, Han Xiao, has this kind of thought!"

"But whether it is the Western Emperor or the Eastern Emperor, they all built immortal merits to save the Holy Land from life and death, and Han Xiao doesn't seem to have enough weight compared to them......

"It's not enough!" Yan Chong shouted angrily, "Han Xiao is proud of his achievements, and now he doesn't take this emperor in his eyes at all! Have you heard of that nursery rhyme that has been circulating in Jinling City during this time?"

"Minister...... Slightly heard ......"

"Hmph!" Without waiting for Lan Shixun to nod, Yan Chong sneered suddenly, "This throne is not canonized to him, it seems that now Han Xiao can't wait to take it himself!"

"This ......" Lan Shixun's eyes rolled from side to side, showing a look of panic on his face, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, if there is no real evidence......

"Do you all think that this emperor is a fool?" Yan Chong suddenly said coldly.

"Don't dare!" Lan Shixun fell to his knees again with a 'poof'.

"Half a year ago, Chu Lingtian, the big camp in Northern Xinjiang, and Xi Chen, the governor of the Northern Frontier Guard Mansion, both of them made a secret fold for the emperor at the same time! They both mentioned the news that there was a rebellion by the beast clan in Northern Xinjiang, but at that time, the calibers of the two of them were completely different!" Yan Chong said coldly, "At that time, Chu Lingtian's sword blade was directed at Xi Chen, and Xi Chen alluded to Chu Lingtian!" One of the two of them pushed you Lan Shixun to lead the troops to suppress it, while the other pushed Han Xiao to lead the troops to preside over the overall situation, and the emperor knew very well that this was not actually a fight between the two of them, but a fight between you and Han Xiao!"

"The crime deserves death!" Lan Shixun knelt on the ground and curled up with a trembling body, his head was tightly pressed to the ground, and he didn't dare to breathe more, "I hope Your Majesty forgives me!"

"This emperor wanted to make a choice between you and Han Xiao at that time, I can only trust one! And at that time, this emperor chose to believe Han Xiao!" Yan Chong said bluntly, "So this emperor ordered him to lead an army of 50,000 to go, his intention was to quell the rebellion in the northern frontier, and secondly, to clamp down on Chu Lingtian, so as to prevent Chu Lingtian from taking the opportunity to make trouble! Now that I think about it, this emperor's decision at that time was really a big mistake and a special mistake! Lan Gong, you won't blame this emperor for this, right?"

"Don't dare!Don't dare!" Lan Shixun said again and again, "Han Xiao is an old minister, the number one military general in the Holy Domain, after this kind of thing happens, he should come forward to solve it!" It's just that in the end, Han Xiao betrayed His Majesty's trust!"

"Yes! After such a long time, Chu Lingtian's northern Xinjiang camp not only did not make a mess, but the disasters of the beast clan were unsettled and rose again and again, Han Xiao had obviously solved the many beast clan powerhouses in the northern Xinjiang with a thunderous momentum, but he did not return with his troops, but still led the troops to be stationed in the northern frontier, and did not give any explanation to the emperor halfway, in the letter to the emperor, the words were also extremely vague, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!" The more Yan Chong spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and finally his anger turned into a roar, "If it weren't for the fact that this emperor secretly sent a master to the northern frontier to capture the remnants of the beast clan, I am afraid that this emperor would still be kept in the dark by Han Xiao! Now the beast clan army is disturbing the northern frontier, and yesterday when Bai Qi was ordered to go to the northern Xinjiang to pass the order, he did not realize the slightest stubbornness of the war, but the generals under Han Xiao were more disobedient than one another! In the eyes of these generals, now there is only Han Xiao, and there is no emperor! They had even raised their swords against each other yesterday, and in a few days, I was afraid that their blades would cut directly at the emperor's neck, right? Therefore, the emperor suspected that Han Xiao leading troops to resist the beast clan was fake, and the secret beast clan was the real one!"

Faced with Yan Chong's dissatisfaction with Han Xiao, Lan Shixun became more and more happy in his heart, but on the surface, he did not show the slightest abnormality.

"Therefore, the emperor secretly summoned you here today, just for the chaos in the northern Xinjiang! Han Xiao is no longer credible, but the rebellion in the northern Xinjiang is in danger, and this has always been a problem for the emperor!"

"Lan Shixun is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate!" Lan Shixun was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and then hurriedly surrendered his hand and asked for his life, "The minister is willing to lead the troops to the northern Xinjiang to completely quell the chaos in the northern Xinjiang!"

"Okay!" Yan Chong nodded with emotion, and then he walked in front of Lan Shixun in two steps, personally helped Lan Shixun up, and then said with a solemn face, "This emperor now gives you 50,000 troops to go to the Northern Frontier secretly immediately, and Chu Lingtian's Northern Frontier camp will be deployed by you together, this time you will definitely quell the rebellion of the beast clan in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!" Lan Shixun was excited, but his expression was quite calm.

"And!" Yan Chong frowned and said while thinking, "After **** Qian went to summon Han Xiao back to the court, the men and horses in his camp were temporarily in charge of Xi Chen, and after you brought in the troops, they will also be under your command! This emperor will personally give Xi Chen a secret order, warning him not to go to Han Xiao's footsteps! Xi Chen is the emperor's frontier official, this emperor believes that he was just confused by Han Xiao before, and he will definitely assist you with all his strength after he sees this emperor's letter!"

"Yes!"

"Lan Gong!" After hearing Lan Shixun's order, Yan Chong's expression that was still very excited just now suddenly became a little sluggish, he stretched out his hand and gently put it on Lan Shixun's shoulder, and said with a tired face, "Among the three dukes, now you are the only one left who is the most trustworthy person of the emperor, you have done so many things over the years, and the emperor has seen them all! quell the rebellion of the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, and lead the troops to suppress the Sealed City Lou Sect, these great military exploits make the emperor believe in you, I hope this time, you will not disappoint the emperor!"

"Your Majesty!" Lan Shixun's eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were filled with tears of gratitude when he looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty's kindness is high and high, and Lan Shixun will never give up!"

"Good!good!good!" Yan Chong's mouth said three good words in succession, and then he slowly turned around and sat down behind his bookcase, and then waved his hand lightly at Lan Shixun, and said with a tired expression, "Go! This emperor wishes you a successful trip to the northern frontier!"

"Minister...... Retire!"

Yan Chong watched with deep eyes as Lan Shixun walked out of the side hall step by step, and after a moment, a long sigh suddenly came out of his mouth.

"Your Majesty!" The internal official, who had been standing aside, stepped forward cautiously, as if waiting for some instructions from Yan Chong, "Since Your Majesty has concerns about Lan Shixun, why should you let him lead troops to the Northern Frontier?"

"You don't understand!" Yan Chong shook his head bitterly, "The 100,000 troops of the Northern Xinjiang Battalion, except for Lan Shixun, no one can mobilize a single penny if they go!

"What ...... Today"

"Let's go, let all the golden guards who are ambushed around the Golden Palace withdraw!" Without waiting for the internal official's words to finish, Yan Chong whispered to the internal official with the strength and weakness, "I hope this time, this emperor has not believed the wrong person again!"

It turned out that when the Emperor Ling and Lan Shixun were talking in the side hall, there were actually hundreds of golden guards armed with swords around the Golden Palace, as long as Lan Shixun's answer just now was slightly inappropriate, I was afraid that he would not have a chance to walk out of here today!

It's a pity that Lan Shixun is lucky!

But this actually means that the luck of Linghuang Yanchong doesn't seem to be so good!

......
