But what relieved Zhou Tianci was that although Qin Yannan and the others said a word, Chen Yu did not believe it all, he stared at Qin Yannan who was kneeling in the main hall, and said in a deep voice: "Qin Yannan, what is going on with the defeat of Taiyuan, after Chai Guogong returns to Beijing, I will find out and deal with it impartially."

However, no matter what the reason for the defeat of Taiyuan is, you, as the commander of the Northern Theater, bear unshirkable responsibility for the collapse of the battlefield on the central front. There are commanders in front of this palace, so you don't have to be a commander, go home and rest. ”

Chen Yu's words fell, Qin Yannan was stunned with grief on his face for a while, and then he clasped his head to the ground and exclaimed sadly: "Minister, thank Your Majesty!" ”

Qin Yannan, who was clasping his head on the ground, although his face was full of grief, his heart was actually full of joy and happiness at this time.

Before entering the palace, Qin Yannan's heart was extremely worried, because the reason for the defeat of Taiyuan was actually on him, and the consequences were extremely serious, Tokyo was besieged, the national teacher Zhang Mingtian died, and the Song State almost perished!

And he, the commander of the Northern Theater, disappeared after the fall of Taiyuan, and did not return until Tokyo was unharmed for three days.

But now Chen Yu just dismissed him from his official position and did not want his life, which made Qin Yannan breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart was full of joy. The punishment of dismissal of officials does not seem light, but in fact, as long as the turmoil has passed and the time has passed, under the advice of his henchmen in the DPRK and China, the court will easily use him again.

After Qin Yannan left the main hall, Xu Xian looked at Chen Yu with a slight frown: "Your Majesty, the consequences of the defeat of Taiyuan are so serious, if Qin Yannan's punishment is only to remove him from his official position, isn't it somewhat."

Chen Yu looked at Xu Xian and said lightly: "It's a little too light, isn't it." I understand what you mean, but when the Taiyuan army was defeated, the food army was indeed too strong, and the fault was not all on Qin Yannan.

Moreover, he has done a lot of things for the court in the past few years, and he has worked hard without merit. I'll spare him his life. ”

After Xu Xian listened, he bowed down and said, "Yes, Weichen understands." ”

Chen Yu looked at Xu Xian and nodded slightly, with a hint of depth in his eyes.

He didn't kill Qin Yannan, what he just said to Xu Xian was actually just one of the reasons. Another deeper reason is that after the war, the current military generals of the Song State withered, and the prestige and power of the heavenly soldiers were too strong, so he didn't want to weaken the original military generals of the Song State anymore, he wanted to balance.

Qin Yannan, who was not given the death penalty, returned to his home in the capital with joy and joy.

Although he was dismissed by Chen Yu, Qin Yannan was not ready to leave the capital, because most of his family's property was in Tokyo, and secondly, he felt that he would definitely be reused in a short time, so he simply did not leave, planning to spend a few months in Tokyo and wait for the emperor's will.

But what Qin Yannan never expected was that after only two days of his idle days, he was called into the palace by Chen Yu again.

After only two short days, Chen Yu called him into the palace again, Qin Yannan was pleasantly surprised, and said that he was going to be reinstated so soon?

With an expectant and apprehensive mood, Qin Yannan entered the palace.

However, when Qin Yannan came to the main hall again, he was dumbfounded.

Because, he saw a person who shouldn't have appeared, a person he thought was dead, Yang Si!

At the beginning, after Taiyuan City was broken by the Cai army, Qin Yannan and Yang Si each led a remnant army to retreat south, and after that, Qin Yannan, who did not dare to compete with the army of the Cuisine Country, did not organize the remnant army to block the Cai army going south. However, Yang Si has always been organizing the retreating troops and the remnants of the scattered army to resist the army of the country.

The result was obvious, Yang Si's reorganized troops were no match for the army of the Cuisine Kingdom at all, and they were almost wiped out. And Qin Yannan, on a mountain, also witnessed Yang Si and his soldiers being forced into a desperate situation, and there was no possibility of survival.

Yes, Qin Yannan thought that Yang Si was already dead.

It was precisely because he thought that Yang Si was dead, so he dared to directly throw the pot of Taiyuan's defeat on Chai Shirong's body, and told the emperor that he had been organizing the remnants of the army to resist the army during the time he had disappeared.

But now, Qin Yannan was dumbfounded, because Yang Si was not dead yet, he was back!

On the top of the main hall, Qin Yannan looked at Yang Si, who was standing on the main hall covered with scars, and was stunned for a while, before a smile appeared on his face, pretending to be casual and stepping forward to salute, asking Chen Yu what he had called him for.

Chen Yu on the dragon chair stared at Qin Yannan with an ugly face, and said angrily: "What's the matter? Qin Yannan, you are so bold!

You dared to declare a personal vendetta, and deliberately put Chai Guogong and the heavenly soldiers into a dead situation, causing Taiyuan to fall. What's even more hateful is that after the defeat of the army, not only did you organize soldiers and horses to resist the army, but you even dared to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and secretly contacted Yelu Changge with Qin Yuan and others, trying to continue to maintain your glory and wealth after the fall of the Song Kingdom!

Qin Yannan, you are guilty! ”

Chen Yu's words were like a thunderbolt, and they slashed squarely on the top of Qin Yannan's head, making him instantly pale and stunned on the spot.

Above the main hall, Chen Yulongyan was furious, staring at Qin Yannan and shouting coldly.

Qin Yannan, who was already full of anxiety, seemed to be hit by a thunderbolt on the top of his head, and his face turned pale in an instant, and he was stunned on the spot.

After being stunned for a short moment, Qin Yannan suddenly knelt down with his head buckled, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, there is no such thing, Your Majesty...... From beginning to end, the minister has been leading the army to desperately resist the army, and he has never been in contact with Yelu Changge, let alone daring to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

Your Majesty, there must be a villain who deliberately wants to frame the minister, I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

"Framed?"

Chen Yu laughed angrily, picked up a stack of letters in front of him, threw off the hall, and said angrily: "Take a good look, these are the letters between you and Qin Yuan and others, as well as the letters to Yelu Changge. In addition, General Yang and his generals have seen with their own eyes that you have met with the generals of the Cuisine Army.

What else do you have to say!? ”

Qin Yannan looked at the letter from Chen Yu who threw it down from the hall, his mind couldn't help but go blank all of a sudden, and his heart was full of despair.

After the destruction of Taiyuan City, he confirmed that it was very likely that the Song State would not be able to keep it, and in order to leave a way back for himself, he contacted Yelu Changge and expressed his willingness to take refuge in the country.

At the same time, he also passed on the book to Qin Yuan and other henchmen.

At that time, after the army of the country of food broke through Taiyuan, there was no one to stop it in the territory of the Song Kingdom, pointing directly at Tokyo, and the people of the government were panicked. Qin Yuan and the others were afraid that if the city of Tokyo was broken and the Song Kingdom was destroyed, they and the others would die tragically, so they sent a letter back to Qin Yannan, asking him to express to Yelu Changge that they were also willing to take refuge.

They did this extremely secretively, and because the Song State was in the midst of war and the crisis of national destruction, no one paid attention to the letters of the courtiers. After the siege of Tokyo was lifted and the crisis of the country was eliminated, Qin Yannan thought that the matter was over, and he didn't know it.

But he never expected that only a few days later, Yang Si would come back, and he would find out about it and report it to Chen Yu.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged...... These letters must have been forged by someone, and someone must have deliberately forged them to frame the ministers...... Your Majesty is discerning

Yes! ”

Qin Yannan had no way to refute the human and material evidence, but he still made up his mind, knelt on the ground and screamed, not admitting it to death, never admitting it. Chen Yu was full of anger and sneered: "You are still calling for wrongdoing, okay, you wait, Qin Yuan and the others will arrive soon, I want to see what kind of drama you can sing!" ”

After Chen Yu's words fell, not long after, Qin Yuan and more than ten officials who participated in the matter were all escorted to the main hall.

In the face of Chen Yu's questioning and conclusive evidence, the more than ten officials were so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled, and they could hardly speak. And Qin Yuan, the old fox, was the same as Qin Yannan, pretending to be wronged and sad and angry, and refused to admit it.

Chen Yu looked at Qin Yannan and Qin Yuan, who were not guilty of death, and looked at the more than ten officials kneeling in the main hall, and said with great disappointment: "You wait for the eclipse of the monarch, the world is favored by the country, and the court treats you well." But when the country is in danger, you don't want to repay, but for yourself

His own glory, wealth and life, he did not hesitate to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

If I don't kill you, how can I be worthy of the people of the Great Song Dynasty who provide for you, and how can I be worthy of those soldiers and loyal ministers who threw their heads and shed their blood for the country! ”

After saying that, Chen Yu's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Come here, spread my will, put Qin Yuan, Qin Yannan, and their families into the prison, and order the three law divisions to hear the ins and outs of this case clearly." Then, all these thieves who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country were beheaded! ”

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and Cai Yun, Ximen Zheng, and other people who were not involved in this matter, who also belonged to Qin Yuan's party, were also silent for a while, and did not dare to speak for Qin Yuan, Qin Yannan and others.

As a result, Qin Yuan, Qin Yannan, and more than a dozen officials, including their families, who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, were all sent to prison. After waiting for the trial and conclusion of the case by the three legal divisions, they will be punished in a unified manner.

The trial of the three legal divisions went smoothly. A few days later, the case was basically heard clearly, and the evidence was conclusive. Even, several more officials involved in the case were dug up.

Chen Yu, who was still suffering internal injuries, vomited blood in the palace in anger, and the injuries in his body not only did not get better, but worsened.

On the night when the case was about to be closed, Chen Yu, who was recuperating and resting in the dormitory, was suddenly awakened by the noise outside the palace.

Chen Yu, who was woken up from his sleep, looked outside the house and frowned: "What's so noisy outside?" ”

At this time, an old eunuch hurriedly pushed the door and rushed into the house, bowed down with a panicked face and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" …… That Qin Yannan and Qin Yuan, with the help of their henchmen, escaped from prison and controlled the city defense army, and at this time they had already led the army into the palace...... They...... They're going to rebel! ”

"What!"

Chen Yu's eyes widened when he heard this, his face turned pale, and the internal injuries in his body recurred under the anger, and he reached out to his chest in pain, frowning in pain

Head.

"Your Majesty...... You're all right, you need to keep the dragon's body! ”

The old eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down.

"I'm fine"

Chen Yu waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Quick, go and invite General Zhou!" ”

The old eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, someone has already been sent, and the Heavenly Machine Department has also sent someone to inform you." ”

Chen Yu nodded slightly when he heard this, and there was a hint of panic in his pale face.

Although the city defense army controlled by Qin Yannan and Qin Yuan only has more than 2,000 people, in the capital now, the forbidden army is not there, and there are only some guards in the palace, so it is impossible to resist them. If Zhou Tianci can't come in time, then the palace and himself will all fall into their hands!

Outside the Royal Palace

In the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, Zhou Tianci, who had been recuperating for a few days, had recovered all the true yuan in his body, and his injuries were almost better.

That night, he had slept soundly in the mansion and enjoyed a rare time of peace. I didn't want to be suddenly woken up in the middle of the night, and after getting up, he learned that there was an accident in the palace!

Zhou Tianci didn't expect that this Qin Yannan and Qin Yuan actually had such a lot of energy, and they could successfully control the city defense army even after they were already in prison, and they wanted to enter the palace

Zhou Tianci knew that the palace was almost in a state of no military escort, which was very dangerous, so without saying a word, he picked up the long sword and prepared to enter the palace.
