Chapter 23: I Will Advance and Retreat with You (2)

Ye Heng's case fell into the hands of Ye Jinhua, and everyone thought that it would definitely come out soon, but they didn't want to, but there was no new progress, and the case seemed to be in a stalemate.

In fact, Ye Jinhua also has a headache.

The assassin was obviously arranged by the prince's faction, and the purpose was not to kill the king, but to blame Ye Heng and frame him for colluding with the rebels in Qixi.

Ye Heng will do what he wants, deliberately exposing flaws, and letting Duan Lang step in, Duan Lang temporarily changed his plan to put Ye Heng to death, but he caught out the old year's greed for ink.

The officials involved in the case were convicted, and it stands to reason that Ye Heng should be let go back, but Xiqi Guojun bit Ye Heng because of the assassin's so-called testimony, and bluntly said that the real culprit must be found in order to return Ye Heng's innocence, lest the world say that he favors his brother and ignores the law of the country.

Speaking from his heart, Ye Jinhua only smelled signs that his father didn't want to let go.

Shortly after the Assassin had taken note of his confession, he committed suicide in prison. The witness was also sent away from Xiqi by Ye Heng with fake death and away from home.

With just one confession, how do you find the mastermind behind the scenes? Ye Henghua thought that the current situation was a stalemate, and he faintly suspected that this was the result that his father wanted - to use this case to put Ye Heng under house arrest for the rest of his life.

Ye Jinhua felt helpless.

But soon, the news of Qi Xi solved Ye Jinhua's problem.

Yezhen was captured by the rebels.

After winning two battles in a row, Ye Zhen was a little light on the enemy, intending to pursue while he was victorious, but he didn't want to step into the trap of the rebels and be captured alive.

The rebels said wildly that they wanted the king of Xiqi to give up five cities and pay millions of gold tributes before they could return Yezhen.

The king of Xiqi was anxious and angry, and immediately fainted, and after waking up, he immediately summoned a group of courtiers to discuss countermeasures.

The huge palace was calm, and no one dared to speak.

Understandable people can see at a glance that Ye Zhen's so-called winning streak is nothing more than a game set up by the rebels, in order to capture Ye Zhen alive as a bargaining chip.

It would be easy to bring in troops to quell the chaos, but no one could guarantee that the rebels would become angry and kill Yezhen. If he returns with the corpse, with the degree of favor of the monarch of Xiqi to Ye Zhen, not only will he not remember his efforts to quell the rebellion, but he may use the disadvantage of protecting the lord and bring disaster to him.

It is precisely because of this that even if the monarch of Xiqi has opened his mouth to ask for help, no one dares to respond.

When he was at a stalemate, Ye Jinhua, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke: "Father, my son thinks that there is someone who is just right." ”

Xiqi Guojun's face turned cold: "You want to say that you are Yeheng?" ”

Ye Jinhua nodded without hesitation: "Father Emperor, Uncle Six Emperors has martial arts and is brave and good at fighting, he is the god of war in Xiqi, such a small chaotic people, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

There was a look of hesitation on the face of the monarch of Xiqi.

Seeing this, Ye Jinhua thought about it, and said, "Or can you also send the crown prince forward?" ”

Hearing this, the princes below all showed nervousness.

Someone stepped forward to object: "The prince has never led a soldier, and he may not be competent for military affairs." ”

There is also a humanitarian: "There is always a first time in everything, the prince and the prince Zhen have a deep brotherhood, and it is also a beautiful conversation to save each other." ”

This did not move the monarch of Xiqi, he snorted coldly and said, "Beautiful talk? Brotherly rescue? I was afraid that I couldn't save it, but I was captured and taken hostage. ”

"If it doesn't work...... Ye Jinhua arched his hand, "Why don't you let the sons go into battle?" ”

Xiqi Guojun glanced at his weak body: "Just keep this heart, you go, I'm afraid that if you are not halfway through, you will have to come back to ask for a doctor." ”

Ye Jinhua lowered her head and stopped talking.

Xiqi Guojun swept his eyes and said angrily: "Could it be that there is no suitable person, the military department is still the book, you come here!" ”

The secretary of the military department stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, now the four countries of Bian Yi are eyeing the tiger, and they have all been able to defend the country, and I am afraid they will not be able to transfer back." ”

The meaning of the moment is only the night balance.

However, the monarch of Xiqi did not make a decision immediately, but only asked people to retreat first.

Ye Jinhua did not persuade again.

He knew very well that his father did not let him send troops, not because he was weak, but because he was afraid that he would delay the time to save Yezhen.

And he opposed the prince's sending troops, not because the prince did not lead the troops to fight, but because he didn't want to hand over the tiger talisman.

It was a tiger talisman that was hard to get, how could it be returned to Yeheng?

After that, the monarch of Xiqi weighed it again and again, but still couldn't decide, tossing and turning for a night that night, and finally made a decision, he wanted to drive the expedition in person.

However, as soon as this thought was born, he had a feeling of powerlessness.

He is now old, and his body has been emptied by years of state labor, and if he really wants to go to the battlefield, I am afraid that he will fall faster than Ye Jinhua.

However, he was unwilling, unwilling to admit defeat to Yeheng like this.

Over the years, he stood in a trembling position, carefully watching Ye Heng's every move, and suppressed it as soon as the signs appeared, so as to ensure that his throne was secure.

Even on the eve of the big war ten years ago, he still had the idea of poisoning Yeheng in the army.

Later, the enemy broke the camp, he was captured and humiliated, and it was Yeheng who came down like a god and rescued him from the chaos.

But there was no gratitude in his heart, only humiliation.

He took precautions against Yeheng and designed to frame him, but Yeheng not only didn't care, but even broke the enemy army and saved him.

At that moment, he only felt despicable.

However, he is the monarch of the country, and it is a matter of course to engage in politics and seek power, just like becoming a king and losing a villain, he is willing to gamble and lose. Even though he was ashamed, since he had already done it, he would not let himself turn back.

Sometimes, he also regrets that if he hadn't poisoned the wine back then, would they be in a different situation now?

But where are the ifs in life? Once you have made a choice, you can only go one step at a time, and even if you want to turn back, there is no way behind you.

Thousands of emotions poured into his heart, like ants biting his heart, and in a trance, he seemed to see Ye Heng appear in front of him again.

"Brother Huang." An indifferent voice came into his ears, and the monarch of Xiqi suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was not his illusion, and the person in front of him was indeed Ye Heng.

And he stood in his bedchamber.

"You ......" Xiqi Guojun sat up suddenly, looking at the person in front of him incredulously, he broke in easily, no one even noticed, the fear of being assassinated that day couldn't help but surge up, and pressed against his throat, "Come ......"

"Brother Huang, if I were going to kill you, now you have lost your breath." Ye Heng looked at him indifferently, and his voice was even calmer, "I said that the guards of Luoyan Courtyard can't trap me, and it is the will of the imperial brother who can trap me." ”

Xiqi Guojun gradually calmed down from the panic, he sat down steadily, and looked at Ye Heng coldly: "You came here at this time just to show off that I can't do anything about you?" ”
