Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Palace, Goodbye Yan Yanlin
On this day, the palace began to be lively early in the morning, some of the maids and servants in the palace were hanging lanterns, some were cleaning the courtyard, and some were arranging the kitchen to serve meals according to the menu designated by the king. The servant also came to inform Gongziyu, saying that the king would invite the original guests of honor in the main hall and asked if Gongzi wanted to attend. Gongzi Yu naturally would not refute the kindness of King Zhongshun, but he was worried that he would meet an acquaintance, so he asked the servant to prepare a mask for him to attend the banquet later.
Gongziyu came to the main hall very early because he had nothing to do, and after saluting the king, he went straight to the corner and sat down to wait for the guests. Outside the gate of the mansion, a few people soon came, only to see the nose bone protruding from the head of the house, the face of the flesh and eyes showing a fierce light, the nose and cheeks drooping flesh and boneless. It turned out to be the face of the evil villain introduced in the book. Gongzi Yu couldn't help but wonder, he didn't expect that there was really such a person in this world.
Next came a sharp-beaked monkey with sparse eyebrows, unspeakable, and evil eyes. The last person to come in turned out to be Gongzi Yu's old acquaintance, Yan Yanlin, who copied the casino that day. In front of the three of them standing in front of the hall, Yan Yanlin took a step forward and saluted the king: "Yan Yanlin, the distant marquis of Daming Town, came to send a birthday gift to King Zhongshun on the order of the Son of Heaven." I haven't seen him for a long time, this person has been added to the official and made the marquis of Zhenyuan, and Gongzi Yu, who was sitting in the corner wearing a mask, looked at this young general.
Yan Yanlin had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he felt that in the main hall, there was a gaze, so he looked back. This hope can really scare Gongzi Yu. The body did not move, and his face turned to the back to look in the direction of Gongzi Yu, such a wolf situation is not simple.
Gongzi Yu simply lowered his head and just ate and drank, and then didn't look at the top of the main hall. Yan Yanlin was already young and vigorous, and he no longer had any worries, and after sitting down after the ceremony, he found that there was a beautiful woman among the crowd, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks. And this beautiful woman is the princess Ayimu.
Timur, the king of Zhongshun, raised his glass, looked at everyone and said, "Today's banquet, all the distinguished guests enjoy it. After saying that, he drank it all. Everyone in the hall echoed one after another, only saying that the king was good at drinking and was as strong as a teenager. Gongzi Yu had long been accustomed to these flattery, and when he saw Ayimu during the drink, he nodded his head.
The banquet dispersed, and Yan Yanlin and the others all returned to their residences to rest with the exotic women rewarded by the king. Gongzi Yu came to Timur's bedroom and asked to see him. Timur asked: "What is the matter with asking to see you late at night?" "I want to ask Yan Yanlin's family background, the king should know about my festival with him, and today the king specially arranged for me to meet him, it should also have a deep meaning," Gongzi Yu bowed and asked.
Timur smiled calmly: "Sir is really witty, that's right, today is the king's intention." Timur drank all the tea in front of him, and then said: "This Yan Yanlin was originally the younger brother of Yan Nanfei of the Central Plains family, relying on the power of the family, and he was mixed in the court, and it was also Yan Nanfei's eyeliner placed in today's Ming Dynasty. Timur paused deliberately, as if waiting for Gongzi Yu's next inquiry.
"Since he is a favored minister of the Central Plains, at this moment of unprecedented diplomatic tension in the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't coming to the Western Regions like this arouse the suspicion of the person above the court." Gongzi Yu asked.
"You're right, this is also where their courage is outstanding, this Yan Yanlin's coming this time is to show their sincerity in wanting to form an alliance with me." Timur said loudly. "You said that day that I would fight the Central Plains in the future, and they also saw the situation, and this time they want to discuss the plan."
It turned out that this Yan Yanlin was trying to rebel with this loyal king. I can't imagine that a martial arts family has such wolf ambitions.
"Military Prophecy" said: "The strong sect gathers traitors, has no position and respects, and the power is shocking; Kudzu is connected, planted with virtue, and seizes the right to reign; invaded and insulted the people, the country was in an uproar, and the ministers were silent; It's called the root of chaos. "They whitewashed themselves and gave small favors to the local people, so that the people mistakenly thought that they were good people. And their most fundamental purpose is to seize power.
King Zhongshun said it so frankly, thinking that he was forcing Gongzi Yu to join in, now that he knows this shocking secret, he will either die or cooperate, and there is no way back. Gongzi Yu thought for a moment, didn't say anything, and said in a deep voice: "Since the king knows about my grievances with him, he should have already understood that it is impossible for me to cooperate with her. I don't know what the king wants."
"I want you to be this Marquis of Zhenyuan and his two cronies, and then I am telling Emperor Ming that they came to rebel against this king, but they were rejected by this king, and then you made a great contribution to killing him." Timur said as he poured tea for Gongzi Yuzhi.
When Gongzi Yu heard this, he felt a chill in his back, such a difficult and vicious plan was to make me a substitute for the dead. It's really killing three birds with one stone, no, no, no, it should be a lot of birds. Thinking about it carefully, this Zhongshun King not only wants to deceive the trust of the Ming Dynasty, but also takes the opportunity to get rid of a wealthy family in the Central Plains, and presumably he is also helping other wealthy families in the Central Plains to eliminate hostile forces. Then nominally, he asked me to get rid of Yan Yanlin, but in fact, he wanted to blame me and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself. Then he operated from it, and saved me, and also the department store that is now in full swing.
Gongzi Yu pondered for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, took a step forward and bowed, and said loudly: "Thank you for the king's kindness, I will definitely get rid of them all today." ”
