Jin Yan's sudden change of face was something no one expected.

Including the couple Xiao Jian and Princess Jinyang.

But no one stopped Jin Yan.

The guards of the palace were also very obedient, and after Jin Yan finished speaking, he ignored the envoy's frightened face when he visited the worship, and directly took the person down.

Some soldiers were about to move, and they wanted to watch the cooking process, but they were stopped by others.

The messenger can die.

But if these generals run to watch and spread to the court, they will inevitably bring disaster to themselves and the palace.

As for the scribes, they were even more worried.

Killing the envoy of the court is no different from rebellion.

The original King of Han was killed because he was dissatisfied with the attitude of the envoy, but after the news reached the court, the court sent troops to attack Han on the grounds that the king of Han was disrespectful to the court and that the king of Han was plotting rebellion, and all three clans of the king of Han were eliminated.

And the cause of this incident is not just that the envoy's attitude towards the king of Han is not respectful enough, but that they rely on the support of the court, act as a prestige in the land of Han, humiliate and play with the crown prince of Han in front of the king of Han, and let the king of Han lead the horse and stirrup for them, so it angered the king of Han.

Such a thing, let alone King Han, is unbearable for any prince and king.

They are the founding heroes of the Xia Kingdom, each of them has made great achievements, killing countless enemy troops, without them, the Xia Kingdom would not be able to win in the troubled times and dominate.

The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden.

The princes and kings have great merit, high prestige, and strong power, which will form a certain deterrent to the court, which is also intolerable to any dynasty.

That is, the king of the north is smart, and after seeing the ending of several other kings with different surnames, he entered Chang'an as a "hostage" on the grounds of "recuperating from his injuries", and accepted the surveillance of the court and all forces under the nose of the Son of Heaven, which in exchange for the court's connivance at the north, and also gave the Xiao family a chance to breathe.

But it's only been a few years?

It has only been three years since the king of the north entered Beijing, and the court will not be able to tolerate the north again!

The scribes were worried.

The delicious food in front of them, they also taste like chewing wax, and the food is tasteless.

Finally, after Jin Yan yawned twice, Princess Jinyang stood up, she said a word to everyone, and was about to take Jin Yan and Xiao Jinan away.

Xiao Jinan didn't want to leave yet, and he was reluctant to leave this lively feast, after all, the people here are very talented, and they speak well, and they don't praise him the same!

He really loves to listen!

But.

No way.

Princess Jinyang glanced over, and he immediately coaxed, obediently got up and followed, and did not forget to eat another bite of meat before leaving.

After the three of them left, the scribes immediately surrounded Xiao Jian.

"Lord, that messenger, you can kill, but you can't cook!" A scribe named Lu Ye said.

Xiao Jian had a casual smile on his face, wanton and unassuming, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.

He asked, "Oh? Why can't you cook? ”

Lu Ye quoted scriptures and told him several stories about the killing of messengers in history, and finally said: "Nowadays, there are only princes and kings in Qi and Beidi in the world, and the king of Qi is a relative and the younger brother of the current queen, and the king of Qi can't move, but the existence of a king with a different surname makes the court like a man on his back like a fish in his throat, so the court will only shoot at the north." ”

Zhou Han also persuaded: "It has been three years since the king went to Chang'an, but the court's suspicion of the north has not decreased but increased...... At the moment, don't make any extraneous branches. ”

Xiao Jian listened, but didn't react much.

To cook or not to cook, he didn't say.

At this time, Xiao Quji spoke, "Father, if you let the court know that Yan'er has such mental means at a young age, and you and your mother love Yan'er so much, I'm afraid that there will be one more person to be a hostage in the court." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jiao's face instantly became gloomy.

"Look for death!"

He slapped it the desk, and the desk made of thick solid wood was immediately missing a corner.

Several scribes looked at it and sighed in their hearts.

Dragons have reverse scales.

If the court really dares to let the three-year-old little lord go to Chang'an to be a proton, I am afraid that not only the lord, but even the princess of Jinyang, the royal daughter, will be opposed!

Sure enough, the father is more than the son.

With a word, the second son persuaded the lord.

Xiao Jian instructed Zhang An on the side, "You go and slaughter that person." ”

Zhang An quickly went out.

After a while, he returned, but with a strange expression.

Xiao Jiao: "What's wrong?" Late? After a while, the water hasn't boiled yet, has it? ”

Zhang An coughed, "Back to the lord, the messenger is dead." ”

Seeing that Zhang An wanted to speak and stopped, everyone understood something.

What they can figure out, how could Princess Jinyang not think of it, with Princess Jinyang's means, even if it is not cooking, I am afraid that it will not be much better.

When the matter was settled, the scholars all took their leave.

Xiao Budo sent everyone away one by one, and when he came back, he saw that Xiao Jian was still doing it in place, and in the dim light, his expression was gloomy and a little shocking.

But Xiao Budo was not afraid, he stepped forward and knelt down on the side, "Father, what the second brother said is just a guess, the eldest father is still a hostage in Chang'an, as long as the one in the court is not really stupid to the extreme, he will not let his sister go to be a proton." ”

Xiao Jian sneered, "Where is the extreme?" How many years has the world been stable? The treasury is empty, the people are poorly clothed and hungry, and countless people starve to death and freeze to death every year, but what is the court doing? Frequent tax increases, large-scale construction projects, and the imposition of forced labor ......"

Many of the prisoners who were transporting grain during his conquest of the Xiongnu had no land or food at home, and their wives were separated, and they were forced to live before they took risks and broke the law.

Even, in order to be able to drink a mouthful of porridge, many people even take the initiative to commit crimes, because no matter how hard and tired the conscription is, they can still have a fixed amount of food every day, while those who honestly cultivate the wasteland and work diligently are forced to have no way to live in the end, either starving to death or freezing to death.

Xiao Jian was so angry that his face turned red, and Xiao Budo was silent.

After a moment, Xiao Jian slowly got up.

Xiao Budo immediately went up to help him, and snatched the wine glass from Xiao Jiao's hand with one hand.

The father and son were about to go out, when Zhang An hurried over, "The lord, the eldest son, the little lord is feverish again." ”

Xiao Jiao's drunkenness was dispelled at once.

His sanity regained in an instant.

Without Xiao Budo's support, he turned around and strode out.

When Xiao Jian arrived in the backyard, the maids were going in and out with a basin of water, he walked in quickly, and saw Jin Yan sleeping on the bed with a red face, and his heart was stagnant, so he softly called Jin Yan's name.

Princess Jinyang had just been talking to the Imperial Physician Gongsun Qiu, when she saw his hand pinching her daughter's face again, she slapped Xiao Jian angrily, "Full of alcohol, can your daughter stand it?" Go wash and wash and come back again! ”

Xiao Jian looked at him aggrievedly, like a big wolf dog who had made a mistake.

Isn't he worried about his daughter?
