Volume 2 The Puppet Son of Heaven Chapter 60 There Will Be Loyalty and Kindness Within Ten Steps (I)
After getting the emperor's will, Guo Yan and others did not delay any longer.
only talked to Sun Ning for a while, and then left the palace together.
Next, from Guo Yan down, in the entire Liangzhou territory, the upper and lower people are busy.
Whether it is to convey the will of the emperor to order his own family to conquer Lianzhou, or to prepare soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and select available generals and officials, it is an urgent matter for them and must be finalized as soon as possible.
After all, the soldiers are fast, and in this ever-changing and turbulent era, taking Lianzhou as soon as possible means that their own strength can be further expanded, so as to achieve their wishes.
However, Guo Yan was still trustworthy to Sun Ning this time, and soon after leaving, Yang Xuan had already asked to see him outside the palace, which was regarded as officially allowing these 100 Yulin guards to return to the emperor and listen to them.
Sun Ning, who got the report, didn't hesitate and let Yang Xuan come in to see him.
This thirty-year-old, burly, rugged-looking Yulin Weiya General entered the warm pavilion, and when he saw the emperor, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and confessed his mistake with a face full of shame: "Your Majesty, the minister is useless. Your Majesty has been wronged here in the past few days, and I ask Your Majesty to punish you......"
Seeing this, Sun Ning hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "What are you talking about, how can I blame you?" If it's really wrong, you should blame those who are blocking you from entering the palace. ”
"Your Majesty......" Yang Xuan was moved, sniffed hard, and then looked at the emperor and said, "If you really feel that there is any danger here, the minister will protect you back to Nanyang even if you fight for this life!" ”
"Nonsense, when did I say I was going back?" Sun Ning turned his face blank and scolded angrily, "Where did you hear this from you?" ”
"Your Majesty is angry, this is just what the ministers are thinking about in private......
"Thinking that His Majesty had just arrived in Liangzhou, there was a major assassination case, and then he was placed under house arrest by them, and he couldn't even see his ministers, so I was naturally unhappy.
"In the minister's opinion, they clearly have two hearts, and this place is really dangerous."
"Oh? If you think of something, let's talk about it together. Sun Ning's eyes flashed, and he asked tentatively.
"In fact, there are still many loyal ministers and righteous people in this world, as long as Your Majesty is willing to give an order, there are people who can give their lives like ministers to protect Your Majesty to regain power!"
Seeing that Sun Ning seemed to be a little moved, Yang Xuan became even more energetic, and said conclusively: "Even in this Liangzhou City, there are many people who are willing to sacrifice everything for Your Majesty." ”
Sun Ning's expression became more and more softened, and he followed the other party's words and said, "Yes, all the people in this world are my people, where are there no loyal ministers?" Some people want to be loyal to the court, and it is natural that it is a matter of course. ”
"Your Majesty is Shengming, so the minister thinks it is ......"
"Did someone teach you to say that? In the past few days, there should be people from the Liangzhou government who have secretly contacted you, right? Sun Ning suddenly cut off his words and asked.
Yang Xuan's old face turned red, he didn't expect that his careful thinking had already been seen through by the emperor.
In that case, let's be honest.
He immediately said: "Your Majesty is really wise, these words are indeed taught to the ministers by Lord Chu Wenze, the transfer envoy of Liangzhou, and let the ministers say when they have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty." ”
"Transshipment envoy...... How did you come across with him? Sun Ning suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked.
"In the past few days, the ministers and others have been left in the military camp in the west of the city, and the daily food needs are provided by this Lord Chu, and after seeing him a few times, he found an opportunity and told the ministers what he wanted."
"Do you think his word is credible?" Sun Ning stared at this, but what he thought in his heart was, can this Yang Xuan still be trusted?
Although it is said that he was brought from the palace to Pishan, and from Pishan to Nanyang, and then from Nanyang to Liangzhou. But after all, people's hearts are unpredictable.
Yang Xuan didn't know that Sun Ning had already put a question mark on himself in his heart, so he just said truthfully with some excitement: "The minister naturally had some doubts at the beginning. But last night, Lord Chu took me to his house again, and I realized that he was really loyal to His Majesty. ”
"How?"
"In the Buddhist hall of his home, all the year round I worship the gods of my ancestors and ancestors, and I ask every morning and dusk, and I dare not slack off.
"In addition, during these days, he has already united with some other people in the city who are still loyal to His Majesty, and last night he took out their blood alliance, even if he sacrificed his life, to take back power for His Majesty.
"Those things can't be faked, once they are leaked, it will be the end of the family.
"Therefore, the minister thinks that Lord Chu is a loyal minister who is sincerely willing to do anything for His Majesty. He said that His Majesty was already in crisis in Liangzhou, so it should not be wrong. ”
"You're right, I knew long before I came here that things weren't going to be going to be good.
"I just didn't expect that there would be such loyal ministers who were willing to sacrifice their lives for me, which really moved my heart."
After Sun Ning sighed with emotion, he said: "In this way, you go to make arrangements, these two days, I want to see that Chu Wenze." ”
Yang Xuan was stunned: "This ...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult, right?
"Lord Chu also said that now there are already people inside and outside the palace of Guo Yan, and with his identity, he can't see His Majesty alone. And on the other side of the palace gate, the ministers can't be the master. ”
"Why didn't you think about being flexible?"
Sun Ning sighed and pointed: "He can't come to see me openly, can't he disguise himself as a soldier of Yu Linwei to see me?"
"Now that Guo Yan has allowed you to enter the palace, there are more than 100 people, and no one can recognize them all.
"At that time, as long as he pretends to be Yu Linwei and comes with you to see me, won't he be able to hide from the world?
"After all, this matter is very important, if I don't meet him personally and have a deep conversation with him, I don't dare to really believe him as a Liangzhou official."
Yang Xuan suddenly nodded vigorously: "It's the minister who is stupid, and the minister knows what to do." In the next few days, I will contact Lord Chu and bring him to see Your Majesty. ”
Sun Ning nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's go." By the way, the pigeons have already been released, right? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, as early as when you arrived in Liangzhou, the minister had already released those pigeons according to your wishes."
Sun Ning let out a breath and smiled with satisfaction, which made this henchman retreat.
It's just that after the other party went out, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "This is really within ten steps, there must be loyalty......"
At this moment, the wind blew in through the crack in the door that was not completely closed, blowing straight into Sun Ning's clothes, making his shadow cast on the wall behind him a little distorted, like a monster opening its huge mouth......
