Chapter Ninety-One: Return to Beijing
The Imperial Palace of the capital.
The Grand Duke served the emperor to drink tea, and the ministers were sent outside the palace, and the emperor waved his hand, and the Grand Duke immediately understood,
"Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, let the adults not disturb it for now."
Since the end of the Battle of Guankou and Xie Xinglan was brought back by General Zhao, the emperor has never been to the court again, and the ministers have reported everything layer by layer, and finally sent it to the dormitory for processing.
Such slackness is not his intention, obey the ancestral teachings to deal with the four major families, he is just doing his duty as an emperor, and in the face of the ministers' questions, he can only ignore it, put it aside for a while, and then deal with it when he brings the silver ballad back.
There were a lot of things, and he had a headache, so he called himself sick these days and rested in the dormitory.
The Grand Duke took the teacup,
"Your Majesty, General Xie left a few days ago."
"Okay."
After serving His Majesty for many years, the Grand Duke looked at the preoccupied emperor and couldn't help but worry,
"150,000 horses, you really let him ......"
General Zhao brought 100,000 people, plus General Peng's 50,000 people, this is only the country's troops, if Yan Heng, who suffered a thousand knives, is mixed with one more kick, it will be 250,000...... The land has fallen, the country has changed hands, and the Grand Duke dare not imagine.
Your Majesty, is this a gamble?
The emperor did not reply to his words, but asked rhetorically,
"Do you believe him?"
The Grand Duke wanted to nod, but shook his head halfway through.
Xie Xinglan is under one person, above 10,000 people, with heavy troops in his hands, and he is very popular with the people, I am afraid that he will not be able to control anyone to his current position.
Not to mention...... His father's death was a play made by the emperor, and the revenge of killing his father was in his body, so he had a reason to do the opposite.
The time and place are favorable, and nothing is occupied, why doesn't he rebel? Why not? How can it not be reversed?
The emperor's face was very ugly, the grand duke had never seen such a dragon face, and he fell to his knees in fright.
"Your Majesty is angry!"
The emperor stretched out his hand and took out a golden envelope from under the jade pillow, on which was written "Emperor An's Secret Order", which was the suicide note left by Emperor Taizu when he was dying, cleaning up the four major families. jj.br>
When his father handed over the secret order to him, he was only fifteen years old, and at that time he and Xie Xinglan studied and played together every day, both of them had no parents, they were in the same situation, they were like brothers, and he couldn't bear to kill him.
Since then, after many years of contradictions and hesitation, he was reluctant to do so, until the queen found the secret order again.
The disappearance of the queen became the last straw that overwhelmed him.
He suddenly had an epiphany that these beautiful things in the world are all illusions, family, friendship, and love are illusory, and the tighter you grasp them, the more painful they are when they are lost.
Even if his parents are still there, he will one day die of old age, and his lover you and I will be gone, but the whole family will be hidden, disappearing without a trace, and he will be like a kite, floating in the endless sky.
Brothers? As the Grand Duke said, he has a high position and a heavy army, and he has won the hearts of the people.
The emperor thought about all these years, whenever he was alone with Xie Xinglan, he couldn't be calm in his heart, his father was killed by his own father's design.
Betrayal, it's a matter of time, right?
In the battle of the pass, Xie Xinglan made great contributions, and there was no longer a qualified official position for him, and there was no suitable treasure to reward him.
Xie Xinglan, give you this throne, do you want it?
"150,000, no, he just needs to enter the palace with 3,000 soldiers, and he has inconvenient legs and feet, so let Kong Xuan kill me to avenge my father."
His majesty trembled, and knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
——————————————————————
After a few days of driving, Xie Xinglan returned to the capital with the army, some of them camped outside the city, and a small part was brought into the city.
General Zhao's face was very ugly, and the people shouted that the general was mighty, but they didn't know that this might be the last time they saw him riding a tall horse and being admired by these ten thousand people.
Xie Xinglan had no expression on his face, and like every victory, the people were used to his appearance, and they were still enthusiastic.
The guards in the palace were sparse, and General Zhao knew that it was all because he had taken all his troops, so he didn't think much about it.
The guards saw that Xie Xinglan was still bowing and saluting as before, and there was nothing abnormal, and it seemed that the emperor did not tell anyone about the matter between them.
Xie Xinglan took Kong Xuan to the outside of the emperor's bedroom, and heard that he had been in poor health recently, and even the court was exempted, the grand duke opened the door and glanced at Xie Xinglan, with a very strange expression.
The emperor had been waiting for a long time, and he was also very strange, he was actually wearing the clothes of the previous dynasty in the dormitory, and when he saw Xie Xinglan approaching, he smiled at him.
"Coming back? Where have you hidden my goddess?"
"Naturally, it's a safe place, Your Majesty, let her go, she doesn't have a white surname at all, these are all made up by Xue Ji to lie to you."
The emperor sneered, Xue Ji is dead, there is really no proof of death, and he looked out of the hall in amazement,
"Can't you see the last one? Unexpectedly, I ended up betraying my relatives."
Xie Xinglan was a little puzzled, the words that the emperor said were as strange as what he was wearing.
Retracting his gaze from the window, the emperor stepped out of the bed, came to Xie Xinglan, and took a deep breath,
"Xie Xinglan, before the age of fifteen, I really regarded you as a brother, if my father didn't tell me about your father, I thought we could be good brothers for life, I'm sorry."
I see.
Xie Xinglan lowered his eyes, the cause of his father's death, Shen Yinyu said when he saw him, the emperor did not let him take advantage of the victory to pursue, because he was afraid that the foreign race would leak the news, and the royal family would do such an unrighteous thing, if it was made public, he was afraid that the world would laugh at it.
"What a person the emperor was, on the one hand, he gave my father the title of "Zhenguo", and on the other hand, let a general die under the sword of his comrades. Even if Your Majesty has never been on the battlefield, you should know that this is the most humiliating way to die!"
A word of apology, far from hatred.
The emperor had already expected that this time it was he who lost the bet, and his former good brother was destined to meet him with a sword.
"Xie Xinglan, I only ask you for one thing, let me meet Miss Yin, I want to see Xin'er, I have something to ask her face-to-face!"
"She really doesn't know, her surname is Shen, not Bai."
After years of understanding, the emperor knew that Xie Xinglan was not lying, it seemed that the silver girl really didn't know Xin'er's whereabouts, and he couldn't care about the emperor's image, so he sat down on the ground in despair.
Father, you hurt me!
There is no longer any expectation in his heart, he is waiting for Xie Xinglan's sword, if he wants to kill or chop, he has already thought about it, this big gamble, the probability of losing is very high, then it should be regarded as reparation, to him, to Xin'er, to the dead old general.
He can't call himself a brother and hide a secret at the same time; While you and me are nong, you want to plan to kill her whole family, this is a curse! It's his father who is punishing his heart!
Even if this country is given to Xie Xinglan, it is not a loss, he can be civil and martial, and he is loved by the people, for so many years, if he was not in charge, the country would have been gone long ago.
I, the useless emperor, still failed to destroy the four great families in the end.
Liberated, liberated immediately.
The emperor closed his eyes and waited for Xie Xinglan's sword.
After waiting for a long time, when he opened his eyes again, he saw a big hand, he looked up in surprise, met Xie Xinglan's gaze, and only heard him speak lightly,
"The king of a country, what does it look like to sit on the ground, Your Majesty get up quickly, state affairs are still waiting for you to deal with."
He turned against the light, as if the gods descended to earth, and he couldn't open his eyes when he flashed, this scene was extremely familiar.
still remembers when he was a child, the two played together, he fell and rolled to the ground, his hands were full of mud, Xie Xinglan came over with a smile and pulled him up,
"Your Highness, get up quickly, you will be the king of a country in the future, and you must not lose your manners."
A glimmer of hope burned like a flame, and the emperor was pulled up by Xie Xinglan and stood in place looking at him in surprise.
I seem to have won a bet, and I seem to ...... Didn't win.
Xie Xinglan was still expressionless, his father's death made him unable to calm down after all, he knew that all this had nothing to do with the emperor, it was all the fault of the previous emperor, but ......
Outside the door, General Zhao was not at ease, and directly sent a team of men and horses to guard it, if the emperor had a back hand, he was afraid that Xie Xinglan would lose his life.
Suddenly, a few people came from afar, General Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked carefully, he realized that it was Shen Yinyu! Behind her was the man in white, and the two of them followed suit, and the man in white also approached the silver girl to talk, so close!
This is...... The general's love enemy?
Wasn't the silver girl taken away by General Peng and sent to the Xixia Palace? Why is it here? Back with the general?
In the hall, Xie Xinglan slowly knelt down towards the emperor, for so many years, he rarely made a big salute, but today, he had to do it.
After Xie Xinglan knocked three times, he slowly raised his head,
"Your Majesty, my right leg is crippled, and it is inconvenient for me to go on the expedition, so I will resign from the post of General of Zhenguo."
The emperor was a little surprised, he didn't rebel, but he didn't want to continue to assist...... This is something he never expected,
"Xie Xinglan, you dare!"
No! Absolutely not! He'd rather he'd be the opposite! If he is really gone, who will guard this country?
"Xie Xinglan! I'm not going to let you go! You, your children and grandchildren, will be of use to me! Defend the country for me! You should never want to throw away the title of Zhenguo!"
Xie Xinglan stood up expressionlessly and said lightly,
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
got up and left, the generals on both sides of the line at the door were full of shock, and General Zhao stood there at a loss.
"Stop him!"
The emperor ordered, and the soldiers immediately blocked Xie Xinglan's way.
Xie Xinglan looked ahead without squinting,
"Get out of the way."
After hesitating for a moment, the soldier gave way to his position, Xie Xinglan strode away, and the emperor looked at the army that did not obey his orders, looking like a madman,
"I'm going to kill you all! Kill them all!"
Shen Yinyu walked quickly to the door of the dormitory, and saw Xie Xinglan and Kong Xuan coming out of it, the emperor followed behind them, completely lacking the demeanor of a monarch, and wanted to step forward to hold Xie Xinglan as he walked.
"You're gone, who's going to guard the country? The war on the frontier is not stable, what do you want the people to do?"
Xie Xinglan stopped,
"Your Majesty, I want to be selfish, wander the world with the rumors, live a small life, and you will fulfill me."
The general guards the country, but now, the general only wants to accompany his beloved, and this burden wants to be unloaded and rested.
The emperor's hand pulling the corner of his clothes trembled, and he finally found out that he didn't even have the capital to play with Xie Xinglan, for so many years, if it weren't for him, he was afraid that the country would no longer exist, he didn't see this fact clearly today, but he didn't want to face it until those soldiers only listened to Xie Xinglan's orders.
Kong Xuan clenched his fists, seeing that Xie Xinglan had made up his mind, he also had some thoughts in his heart, Xie Xinglan brought him up, like a brother and a father, if anyone can inherit his mantle, it is only him Kong Xuan.
This time on the battlefield experience, he really grew into a soldier, the battlefield to kill the enemy, it seems to be born easy for him, he still thinks about it now, his heart is still full of enthusiasm, if he can continue to experience in the army, in the future to get a title like "Zhenguo", how good!
"Your Majesty! I am willing to defend the country for General Xie."
Kong Xuan knelt on one knee, and everyone cast surprised glances at him, how could anyone rush to find their own guilt? Defending the country sounds glorious, but it's a deadly thing!
The emperor was also very surprised, but the surprise quickly turned into joy, Kong Xuan, he knew.
Since he was a child, he has followed Xie Xinglan since he was a child, he is familiar with military books, and his martial arts are strong, although he does not have Xie Xinglan's strategy, but looking at today's army, he is the one with the most potential to become the successor of the general!
Glancing at Xie Xinglan reluctantly, the emperor knew that he couldn't keep it anymore.
Then settle for the next best thing and accept Kong Xuan! With his battle at the pass, with his own merits in marrying the head of a local general, the generals will recognize him.
"Good! Good! Good! Get up! Kong Xuan, you must work hard in the future!"
After saying three good things in a row, the emperor pulled Kong Xuan to stand up, and then looked at him carefully, he was very handsome, his facial features were like finely crafted, every arc was so perfect, why did he look familiar?
He couldn't remember where he had seen such a good-looking person.
Kong Xuan avoided the emperor's gaze.
In this world, only Xie Xinglan knows that his name is actually Cao Xuan, he doesn't plan to tell the emperor about this, and he never wants to use the surname Cao of the four major families, he just wants to rely on his own efforts to make the name Kong Xuan engraved in the hearts of the people.
Shen Yinyu approached with Platinum, Xie Xinglan hurriedly came over to greet her, this bold girl can always do things that worry him.
Who is this man? It looks like the two are very close?
