188, commander of the forbidden army
The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, for fear that if his holy decree was late, there would be people who were not long-sighted to talk nonsense.
Therefore, the best way is to make a holy decree first, so that the mouths of those who are young people can be stopped.
Don't look at the age of the Dog Emperor, but he is an out-and-out man of action in some things.
Since he thought of making a holy decree, he immediately took action.
"Come on, immediately send this holy decree to Song Yunan!"
Unlike the previous times, this time it was the emperor's personal eunuch who delivered the decree.
The current emperor is no longer willing to take the initiative to trust any minister, only this personal eunuch who grew up with him since childhood is the person he trusts the most.
"You take this holy decree and quickly send the decree to Song Yunan, so that he will leave Beijing tonight! You must leave Beijing as soon as possible! ”
"The sooner the better!"
The last sentence was uttered by the emperor almost with all his strength.
He really didn't want to see Song Yunan in the capital again.
"Yes, the old slave will go and pass the decree."
In fact, after threatening the emperor, Song Yunan was also very bottomless.
He didn't know if the emperor would really let him return to the border.
And for the defense map of the imperial city, he just sent a copy to the goddess.
He was worried that if the emperor still did not agree to let him return to the border pass, the fact that he had not leaked the defense map would also be exposed.
At that time, he will be subjected to the most severe revenge from the emperor, and he will not be able to return to the border in his life.
However, despite this thought in his heart, he was still willing to believe in the goddess in his actions, and packed his bags to leave Beijing early.
Ah Cha did not disappoint him, and it didn't take long for the eunuch to come with the emperor's holy decree.
"Song Yunan, the commander of the forbidden army, received the order-"
Song Yunan came back to his senses from his thoughts, and his eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
The decree has finally come.
"Commander Song, what are you still doing in a daze, kneel down and accept the order."
The eunuch's sharp voice made Song Yunan immediately regain his composure.
No, he obviously wants to confront the emperor, so how can he easily kneel down and accept the order.
"Father-in-law, you can just read His Majesty's holy decree directly, and the official should stand and listen."
As soon as these words came out, even the emperor's personal eunuch was stunned.
No, Commander Song blatantly didn't take the emperor to heart, and made up his mind to argue with the emperor.
"Commander Song, this is a holy decree, how can you be presumptuous!"
Song Yunan glared angrily, and looked at him menacingly, "If my father-in-law is talking nonsense, then there is no need to say much, although I will return to the palace to restore my life!" ”
He was gambling, betting that the emperor would really send himself to the border.
As long as this bet is successful, then in the future, if he resists the decree and disrespects, the reputation of the emperor will be spread out without the emperor, and the emperor will be even more unlikely to let him return to the capital.
In that way, he will stay at the border forever as he wished.
However, his father-in-law, who was very lucky, did not dare to offend him, so he could only choose to ignore it, and then recited the holy decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, said: Song Yunan, the commander of the forbidden army, cares about the people at the border pass, voluntarily returns to the border pass to guard the territory and expand the territory, and grants him the military power of the border pass, guards the territory, and protects the people.
Song Yunan listened to the holy decree expressionlessly throughout the whole process, and stood motionless again.
Seeing this, the personal eunuch was a little anxious and handed the holy decree to his hand.
"General Song, please accept the order, the miscellaneous family has to return to the palace to resume their lives."
Pick-up?
Song Yunan sneered.
"Your Majesty is really a good Majesty who keeps his promises."
Yes, the emperor did agree to return to the border according to his own request.
But how did the emperor do it?
On the surface, this holy decree is to praise himself, but also to raise himself to a higher level and return himself to the border.
But in fact, it was only that last sentence that the emperor wanted to clarify.
Let yourself not be recalled to return to Beijing, and you will be trapped at the border for the rest of your life.
In this way, he will never pose any threat to the emperor's imperial power.
The emperor really made a good calculation.
"General Song, take the order......"
The urging voice of the personal eunuch sounded in his ears again, and this time Song Yunan glanced at him indifferently and took the holy decree directly.
"You go back to the palace to report to Your Majesty, this official will do what he says, and he will never break his word."
"General Song, then leave Beijing tonight ......"
Song Yunan gave him an impatient look, "The official will leave Beijing immediately after cleaning up a little." ”
He was finally able to set foot on the border after more than ten years of absence.
The personal eunuch got his affirmation, and he didn't bother to say anything about it, so he hurriedly returned to the palace with great joy.
Song Yunan held the holy decree and pondered for a while, and then instructed the little servant beside him: "You should go to listen to Yuyuan quickly, tell the goddess the news that I am leaving Beijing tonight, and ask her if she has anything to explain to me." ”
He is now a member of the goddess camp, and through this time, he has also seen the true face of the emperor.
The emperor is completely a suspicious and cold-hearted dog thief, who has no people in his heart, let alone the country.
The emperor agreed to his request, but he was afraid that he would endanger his life after revealing the defense map of the imperial city.
It's sad.
So many innocent people in the whole world have just spread out such a king.
But fortunately, there is also a goddess.
He believed that the goddess would lead the people to overthrow the Dog Emperor and create a new and beautiful world.
When Song Yunan's servant arrived at Tingyuyuan, Ah Cha had been waiting for a long time.
When she heard the news that the emperor had sent a personal eunuch to deliver the decree, she had already guessed that Song Yunan would definitely send someone to find her.
And she is also extremely sure that after this incident, Song Yunan will become their most important force at the border.
"Lord God, my master is leaving Beijing tonight, and I sent a little one to ask, do you have anything to explain to your master."
I can't talk about it, but Ah Cha does have something to tell Song Yunan.
But it's late at night now, and as a goddess, it's impossible for her to explain to Song Yunan in person with such fanfare.
So she could only write down what she wanted to say one by one, and put it in envelopes and bags.
"This letter is written by the deity to your master, and he must open it himself."
"And those three tips are the strategies left to him by the deity, so that he must not open them until the time of great urgency."
In fact, it is a tip, and it is more likely to be a response to the emergency situation at the border after reading the system log.
These strategies can ensure that Song Yunan will not be messed up even if communication with her is blocked.
Only by ensuring that everything that happens at the border is under their control, the more likely they will be to succeed in overthrowing the Dog Emperor.
"Yes, the little one has written it down, and these will all be conveyed to the master."
These alone were not enough, Ah Cha took out another token that he had prepared a long time ago.
"This is a token of Hualuolou, so that no matter what news your master has, it will be transmitted through Hualuolou, and you don't have to use other ways to transmit messages privately."
Hualuolou is Tuoba Jun's industry, and it is also the safest and most reliable way to deliver news so far.
Ah Cha did not dare to guarantee the security of the message transmitted through other means of communication.
Whether it is the eyes and ears of the prince or the lackeys of the emperor, they are all over the place, but the border pass is too far away from the capital, and if there is a little wrong with the information on the way, it is very likely to lose the whole game.
She can't afford to gamble on this.
Therefore, it is the safest way to let Song Yunan use Hualuolou to deliver the news.
"Yes, the little one will report to the master when he goes back."
After sending off the little girl, Ah Cha also rested quickly.
After all, there are still several tough battles to fight tomorrow, and she must maintain her mental state.
But the prince's mansion was brightly lit.
He is very satisfied with the fact that he finally pulled out Song Yunan, the prince of the forbidden army who does not eat hard and soft, today, but at the same time, he also has important things to arrange.
After all, the position of commander of the forbidden army is vacant, and now is the best opportunity for him to install people.
"What do you think I should do to my father as the next commander of the forbidden army?"
As soon as the prince's words came out, the first person to be stunned was Zhang Ming.
He thought that the first thing the prince did when he returned to the palace was to ask him about the crime, but since he mentioned the commander of the forbidden army, he had a good way to divert the prince's attention.
"Your Highness, I think that the current military department is the most suitable candidate."
As soon as Zhang Ming opened his mouth, he really attracted the prince's attention.
"Oh? Why is he the right fit? ”
This prince does have some impressions.
But an ordinary squire like Quan Shilang is not favored by the emperor, and he has never made any contribution even after returning to the princelings.
It was really hard for the prince to imagine that such a person was suitable to become the commander of the forbidden army.
"Your Highness, Quan Shilang has already returned to your camp and is in charge of the military department, so it will be logical to take over the position of commander of the forbidden army."
"Besides, Quan Shilang is conscientious and sincere, and putting such a person in the position of the commander of the forbidden army is the most able to pass on important news in a timely manner."
"And the most important point is that Quan Shilang dotes on his daughter very much, and his daughter is not compatible with the goddess."
Zhang Ming's words were over, but everyone present understood the meaning of his words.
Disagreement with the goddess meant that Kwon Shilang would be on the side of their princelings no matter what, and there was absolutely no possibility of betrayal.
This is the kind of person they can find the most suitable person right now.
"Yes, yes, this Quan Shilang can indeed be one of the candidates I recommend to my father."
Why is it one of them?
Because the crown prince knew the emperor very well, with the emperor's suspicious nature, the commander of the forbidden army had to be the person personally selected by the emperor.
The rest of them only have the power to recommend.
Therefore, in order to ensure that he is more likely to be elected by the emperor, the crown prince must prepare several more candidates to be elected to the emperor.
Uncle Jiang, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke.
"Your Highness, I recommended myself and am willing to serve as the commander of the forbidden army."
As soon as the words came out, everyone including the prince and Zhang Ming was stunned.
Good guy, that's too much to say.
Uncle Jiang dared to cross countless levels as a prince's staff, and wanted to become the commander of the forbidden army, what is the difference between this and a fool's dream.
The prince was also speechless by his sudden self-recommendation, so he just looked at him blankly.
But Uncle Jiang can't control other people's eyes.
Now he has no candidate to recommend, but if he misses this opportunity, it will undoubtedly be a matter of life for the prince to favor Zhang Ming a little more.
It was an opportunity he never wanted to miss.
So he can only gamble and fight in the form of self-recommendation.
"Your Highness, you don't know much about what kind of character I have been by your side for a long time, and I also believe that with my ability, I can be qualified for the responsibility of the commander of the forbidden army."
The crown prince knew that he was telling the truth, but the commander of the forbidden army demanded more than just management.
"Uncle Jiang, the commander of the forbidden army is responsible for the safety of the imperial city, not only must be proficient in the art of war and military, but also be strong in martial arts, be a guard by his father's side, and protect his father's safety."
It's not that the prince is unwilling to let Uncle Jiang be the commander of the forbidden army.
It's really that Uncle Jiang can't even meet the most basic conditions.
However, Uncle Jiang seemed to be unheard of, and still worked hard to promote himself.
"Your Highness, it is the duty of the guards to protect His Majesty, and the commander of the forbidden army does not have to be strong in martial arts to be able to do it."
"Although I am not very good at martial arts, I can select and train strong martial artists for Your Majesty to protect Your Majesty's safety."
Zhang Ming twitched the corners of his mouth silently.
This Uncle Jiang really did everything to compete with him for the favor of the prince.
He really had to be ridiculous.
"Your Highness, I don't think Uncle Jiang can do this." Zhang Ming stood up and stopped the crown prince, saying his thoughts, "Your Majesty's commanders of the forbidden army for many years are all people who are strong in martial arts, and who are proficient in the art of war and know how to manage. ”
"If we rashly recommend Uncle Jiang to Your Majesty, I'm afraid Your Majesty will think that Your Highness is deliberately neglecting and trying to push your staff to the position of commander of the forbidden army."
"At that time, Your Majesty will be suspicious of you, and you will lose trust in you."
Zhang Ming has already said that the consequences are extremely serious.
When the prince heard this, his face changed.
Compared with the fact that the commander of the forbidden army was his person, he cared more about whether the emperor would be suspicious of him.
He is already the position of the prince, as long as he does not die and waits for the emperor to die, then he can succeed to the throne.
But if he dies, the emperor can change the position of prince at any time.
He could not afford such consequences.
And he almost forgot about the Immortal Some Time Ago.
At that time, if it weren't for the fact that this Uncle Jiang had to arrange for the Xuan Immortal to appear, how could there be so many things later.
Thinking of this, the prince glanced at Uncle Jiang deeply, and rejected his self-recommendation with a cold face.
"That's enough, you're not suitable to be the commander of the forbidden army at all, I'll recommend other candidates to my father!"
Uncle Jiang was shocked, "Your Highness, I ......"
"Shut up! It's my decision, it's not your turn to put your beak in the way! ”
Uncle Jiang couldn't, so he could only hang his head secretly.
But he didn't miss it, Zhang Ming cast a provocative gaze.
The prince made a decision, and none of them had the right to change it, so they could only admit it.
However, this also made Uncle Jiang firm in his heart.
No matter what method he uses, he must bring down Zhang Ming.
After this night's tossing, the prince forgot for a while that he still had to question Zhang Ming, dismissed his staff, and went straight to rest.
The time of the night is fleeting.
Ah Cha was woken up by the movement of the servants who came and went in the rain garden.
When she rubbed her eyes, she saw the sunlight shining into the room through the window lattice.
By the way, this is Tuoba Jun leaving Beijing.
She made an appointment with the eldest princess yesterday, and she must personally bid farewell to Tuoba Jun by the city gate today.
But as soon as she saw Tuoba Jun sitting in the front hall leisurely drinking tea, her heart beat violently, revealing a strong uneasiness.
"Ah Cha, why did you get up so early, it's still some time since I left Beijing."
Although Tuoba Jun said this with a smile on his face, his tone was also rare and relaxed.
But Ah Cha still felt weird.
It's as if Takubajun is going to disappear at any time......
"It's okay, I just happened to wake up, thinking if there is anything you need my help with, just come and see."
This is the reason that Ah Cha casually pulls out.
And her eyes were still fixed on Tuoba Jun, as if she wanted to see him out of a hole.
Tuoba Jun was a little uncomfortable with him, and he was worried that she really saw through his physical condition.
"Ah Cha, aren't you going to enter the palace today to supervise the emperor's fasting and purification? Why didn't you enter the palace earlier? ”
"No, I don't have to enter the palace for the time being." Ah Cha's eyes did not look away, and he shook his head before "I told the emperor that it was noon, and I could still go to the city gate to see you off." ”
Give him a ride.
These words made Tuoba Jun's heart sour for a while.
Fate is really good at playing jokes on him.
Just when he didn't want Ah Cha to say goodbye to him, he gave him a chance.
If it had been placed in the past, he would have been able to get a personal farewell from Ah Cha, which was what he dreamed of.
But now, he would rather Ah Cha didn't know the news of his departure from Beijing at all.
"Ah Cha, in fact, you don't have to take the time to send me off, I'm just a ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ah Cha without hesitation.
"If you want to leave Beijing, then I will definitely send you off."
Tuoba Jun was silent.
The two maintained this strange and awkward atmosphere, and did not speak to each other.
Until the eldest princess came to listen to the rain garden.
"Tuoba Jun, how did you pack your luggage when you left Beijing?"
In the end, it was her nephew who left Beijing, and the eldest princess rarely cared a little.
"I've also had some things ready for you to give to your servants later, so they can take them with you."
"That nephew, thank you Aunt Huang."
The eldest princess waved her hand indifferently, "What are you doing with me so politely." ”
Then, the eldest princess moved her gaze to Ah Cha, who was in a trance.
"Ah Cha, you said that Tuoba Jun was named the king of Ding'an by the imperial brother, will there be anything that needs special attention here?"
"Ah......?"
Ah Cha obviously didn't hear what the eldest princess was asking, and looked at them with dull eyes.
The eldest princess let out a long sigh silently in her heart.
As soon as she entered the Rain Garden today, she could see that the atmosphere between them was not quite right.
I don't know how these two people did it, so they became like this when they were about to separate.
"Ah Cha, I'm asking you if there is anything special that Tuoba Jun paid attention to when he left Beijing this time?"
The eldest princess repeated the question again, and Ah Cha heard the eldest princess's question clearly.
"There's nothing special to pay attention to, it's just ......"
"Just how?"
As for Ah Cha, who will talk halfway, it is also the soft eldest princess who listens anxiously.
"It's just that after Tuoba Jun goes to the fiefdom, he still has to support his cronies as early as possible and get rid of the princelings first."
"And we must be extremely cautious, and we must not make a mistake in any place."
Ah Cha's voice fell, and Tuoba Jun took advantage of the situation.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
Then the two were relatively speechless.
The eldest princess is really tired of watching.
"Okay, I don't think it's too early, it's time for you to leave the city, so we'll take you to the city gate."
"Okay."
I don't know if it's to avoid suspicion or intentionally avoid it, in short, when taking the carriage, Ah Cha deliberately chose to be with the eldest princess.
Seeing that the goddess in front of her, who even the emperor had to respect a little bit, was so restrained and involuntary, the eldest princess was even more helpless.
"Comrade Acha, why do you say you are doing this?"
Ah Cha lowered his eyes.
yes, why did she bother?
But she couldn't tell the eldest princess that she intuitively sensed Tuoba Jun's abnormality.
And she sent a lot of people about the secret of the Blue Moon bloodline, but all of them were lost in the sea, and she didn't find a trace of useful information.
The poison on Tuoba Jun's body seems to be under control now, but this does not mean that his poison has been completely resolved.
She was really worried that Tuoba Jun's toxicity would recur and that something would go wrong.
"Comrade Eldest Princess, you don't have to worry, I know it in my heart."
This is the answer and statement that Ah Cha finally came up with.
"Okay, I hope you really know it."
The carriage rolled forward, and soon reached the city gates.
"Goddess, eldest princess, the city gate has arrived."
By the time Ah Cha and the eldest princess got out of the carriage, Tuoba Jun was already standing in front of them waiting for them.
"Aunt Huang, Ah Cha, I just got the emperor's reward and became the king of Ding'an, go to the fiefdom to enjoy a good life, you don't have to send me more."
He spoke in a brisk tone, but the hint of self-deprecation on the corner of his mouth betrayed him.
The eldest princess was sad to see.
She knew very well how the Dog Emperor treated Tuoba Jun's mother and son.
"Tuoba Jun, your father is sorry for you, he caused you to be like this, since you have the opportunity to have a fief and power, then you should seize this opportunity, look forward, don't indulge in the past."
As for the things that the Dog Emperor did, not to mention others, even if she knew about it, she couldn't wait to kill the Dog Emperor to vent her anger.
It was hard for her to imagine how much hatred Takubajun had in her heart.
No matter what the reason, she has no qualifications and position to persuade Tuoba Jun to let go of the past.
The only thing she could do was persuade him to look forward.
"I will definitely take to heart what Aunt Huang said."
Tuoba Jun said this with tears in his eyes.
Everyone advised him to look forward, but does his body really have a chance to look forward?
"Now that you have gone to the fiefdom, you must make preparations in advance, and you must send as many people as possible to build lifeboats."
Ah Cha raised his eyes and looked straight at him, and said word by word: "You must take care of your body even more." ”
