Yan Wen returned home, asked the servant to bring civilian clothes, and as soon as he changed into it, he heard a knock on the door outside the house, and said, "Come in." ”

The man opened a crack in the door, squeezed through it, and bowed to Yan Wen, who was his confidant.

"What?" Yan Wen asked.

Without saying a word, he took out a letter from his bosom, handed it to Yan Shenzheng, and looked at him nervously.

Yan Wen opened the letter, and at a glance saw a golden arrow wrapped in it, and his heart was shocked, looking back at his henchmen.

"I can't say...... Look at the letter. The henchman shrank his feet back and bowed his head.

Yan Wen stopped looking at him, and then opened the letter, but a few lines of small words were written on it: 'The prince went hunting with a certain person the day before yesterday, and he was deeply frightened when he talked about the rebellion. There are two people who form a party with them, but Sun Siyong and Zhang Tangqing are also not worried; However, even if he is forbidden and conspires, he will eventually be in trouble after a long time, and he hopes to participate in politics and think about it. Today, the prince's golden arrow is used as evidence. Xu Wang Jingcheng. ’

Yan Wen was silent, folded the letter, and said to his confidant: "The evidence is left, and King Xu's letter will be burned first." ”

The henchman was puzzled: "King Xu has always been modest and respectful, and he is close to us, it is impossible to spread rumors and make trouble, I hope you will think twice." ”

"It's not a matter of slapping his head on the head," Yan Wen frowned, "If the prince wants to rebel, there will inevitably be riots in the people in Beijing, and General Liu and the emperor have to come back to stabilize the overall situation. ”

"Burn it," he said, pushing the hand of his henchman, "just by the words of one person, the suspicion is on the prince...... There is a way to lose his ministers. ”

The henchman agreed, and went down with the letter. Yan Wen turned to look out the window, and the distant firelight reflected his stunned face.

Tomorrow morning, Yan Wen still planned to act according to the original plan, that is, to inform Prime Minister Tao Xuandao and ask him to send an envoy to give Sun Weigao the post of political participation.

Sun Weigao was still thinking about it, and when he heard that the envoy from outside was coming in, he was anxious, and finally thought that he should focus on the overall situation, and first resigned from the appointment of the Liu Party to stabilize the unity. Having made up his mind, he commanded his men to welcome the messenger in.

The envoy came to see that Weigao was here, and was about to read out the edict, but Sun Weigao kowtowed first and said: "Wanwang will come to listen to my words, and it is not too late to read it again." ”

The envoy was greatly surprised, and asked why, Sun Weigao replied: "Zhongshu Province has always chosen sages, but they are extremely dull and difficult to handle; Secondly, if he is only in Hanlin under the position, the power is small and famous, if he is suddenly promoted to the province, his colleagues will not be convinced, and he may cause disputes and be unfavorable to the government. For the sake of the great cause of the society, a certain is willing to temporarily resign and appoint. ”

"This ......" The envoy held the edict in his hand, very embarrassed.

"Wan please come to make it a fate, and you will live up to Lord Yan's kindness."

"Then I will return to Tao Xiang and Yan to participate in politics......"

"Go ahead, they won't blame you."

The envoy put the edict back on Yan Wen's table, and bowed: "It seems that he will not accept it if he is killed." ”

"You get out of here." Yan Wen waved his hand, and the man immediately closed the door and left.

"Yesterday I was full of joy to receive the jade pendant, and today I don't want to receive the order, it's really strange......" Yan Wen muttered to himself while walking back and forth, "I treat him so well, how can he ......"

"My lord! I have an urgent situation to report. A sergeant suddenly walked outside the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Yan Wen looked a little impatient.

"Dali Temple Qing Gongzhao sent people to Sun Hanlin's official office to congratulate him on his promotion, and he went back after a while."

Yan Wen's heart sank: "Who saw it?" But the truth? ”

The sergeant knelt down on one knee: "The subordinate officer saw it truthfully, and he didn't dare to fake half a sentence!" ”

Yan Wen was stunned for a while, then suddenly stomped his foot and instructed the sergeant to say, "Quickly transfer our soldiers and follow me into the political hall to meet the prime minister!" ”

"Master Tao!"

Tao Xuandao was sleeping soundly in the back room, and I don't know who shouted roughly, which made him tremble all over his body and sit up.

He was about to get angry, but when he saw that Yan Wen led a group of Ziliu Zhennian's personal soldiers to the court, he suddenly lost his temper, only sighed slightly, and asked: "Yan participates in politics, you have already looked for me in the morning, and what do you want to do at noon?" ”

Yan Wen didn't have time to salute, rushed forward, and said in a hurry: "Prime Minister, General Sun Weigao will rebel, it is advisable to order him to be summoned and captured on the spot!" ”

"What's that?" Tao Xuandao scratched his ears, "He just received your guarantee to participate in politics, why is he going to be arrested again?" ”

Yan Wen knew that he couldn't understand a word, so he sat aside and patiently explained: "The previous letter from King Xu, Mi Chen only has a party, and I am still hesitant; There are officials who are not accepted today, but Gong Zhao sent people to congratulate him, it is clear that he is a member of the same party, otherwise how would he know that he will enter the province today? It's also because they didn't collude well, so they were noticed by the lower officials. Vulgar clouds strike first, we should find out the truth as soon as possible and smash the conspiracy! ”

This Tao Xuandao was not a Liu Party, but because of his high morality, he left the name of a prime minister. Now that he heard that Liu Dang was going to arrest people by himself, he was already dissatisfied, so he excused himself and said: "Yan participated in politics and speculated about the courtiers in vain, is it hurtful and angry......?"

"A thief who plots rebellion, how can he be peaceful?"

Tao Xuandao was speechless for a while, and then pretended to be groggy: "I just woke up from sleep, and my brain is still buzzing, wait for me to take care of it......"

The sergeant beside Yan Wen couldn't help it, someone simply picked up his sword and stepped forward angrily: "Master Tao, do you agree or not!" ”

Yan Wen hurriedly stepped forward to stop him; Tao Xuandao gasped, really shocked.

"This is vulgar, don't think it's strange," Yan Wen smiled faintly, "What you said is right, you shouldn't speculate until you find out." It's better to call Gong Zhao first, the people he sent himself must know best in their hearts. ”

Tao Xuandao was frightened after the moment just now, so he nodded and said, "Just like what he said about participating in politics." ”

Not from time to time.

Zhang Han quickened his pace, stepped straight towards the gate of the East Palace, and yelled angrily at the armor soldiers outside the hall: "Get out of the way!" And he pushed them aside.

"Zhang Yushi, could it be that the news leaked?" The crown prince climbed down the steps of the palace and eagerly held Zhang Han's hand.

Zhang Han's head was sweating, and he was panting as he spoke: "I was just about to go to Gong Zhao, who would have thought that he would be escorted to the council hall by a group of people, saying that he was investigating the crime of rebellion, and we couldn't escape!" ”

"Oops!" The prince clapped his hand, "Sooner or later, it's better to die, it's better to ...... It's better to fight with him, and start the day! You quickly went to summon Sun Hanlin, and prepared to raise troops while the court was still undecided. ”

Zhang Han couldn't think of any other way, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You might as well try him!" ”

After that, Zhang Yushi ran out of the palace gate, facing the poisonous sun, and bit his finger heartily, blood fell from his fingertips.
