The palace of Yan Kingdom has undergone a lot of repair and expansion by the emperors, in the high palace wall, the eaves of the palace pavilions are connected and extended, and there are many cypress trees in the back garden, it is in the summer season, the branches are luxuriant, and the branches are shady.

All the guards in the back garden were escorted to the front palace, waiting for the arrival, all the soldiers stationed here were Xiliang soldiers, or soldiers of the state army, when they saw Su Chen, they straightened their backs and shouted loudly, "General!" ”。

One after another, it was passed on.

"In a few days, after rectifying the palace, give everyone a few days off in turn, take the silver reward, and enjoy the prosperity of Yanjing! But don't work too hard in bed, and miss the time to go back to camp! ”

Su Chen said to these soldiers with a smile, and the Xiliang soldiers on duty along the way, or the soldiers of Bingzhou, also laughed.

A brave soldier shouted: "Don't worry, general, even if we get to the bed, we won't disgrace the general!" ”

The laughter around suddenly became louder!

Su Chen pointed at the soldier, compared to the thumb, and laughed: "There is a kind!" Then he continued to lead the shield halberd along the shade of the tree all the way to the innermost part of the back garden.

Around the palace buildings, the eunuchs in the palace who were cleaning put down their brooms one after another and knelt on the ground to say goodbye.

"You are a hard-working person, my sons and daughters will not be embarrassed, you just need to work hard."

The group of eunuchs who knelt on the ground, when they heard the general say this, their faces were somewhat relaxed.

The eunuch who led the way for Su Chen in front showed a sneer: "General, the front is the queen's bedroom." As he spoke, he walked briskly to the front side to lead the way, passing through the rows, and eloquently introduced the nearby pavilions and small halls to Su Chen.

"General, the front is here."

The eunuch stood still, the hall in front of him was not majestic, the doors and windows were mostly carved and hollow, painted with five-colored paint, and the atmosphere of life was rich. There were many eunuchs kneeling on the ground, and the Xiliang soldiers around them pressed the hilts of their swords, and they stared at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground with fierce and vigilant expressions on their faces.

Wu Zixun was also here, talking to a few soldiers with his waist crossed, and when Su Chen came over with Dian Wei and dozens of shield halberders, he greeted him attentively and carefully guarded one side.

"In this way, it looks more and more like a courtier." Su Chen nodded his head.

Wu Zixun covered the place where he had been poked by his finger just now, and laughed, "It's good to be a courtier for the general, how can the court be all capable ministers?" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly said, "General, be careful of the stone steps, go this way." General Dong is already inside, and the queen and the prince are also there. ”

Entering the dormitory, there are many courtyards connected to each other, when Su Chen came over, the innermost room was quiet and terrifying, Empress Jiang sat on the edge of the bed with her arms around the four-year-old prince, hanging her head and not daring to look at the fat rebel general opposite.

"Don't be afraid, Queen Yan, Dong's temperament has changed a lot, before she put it down, she will play when she plays." Dong Zhuo sat on the round stool, puffing out his eyes and looking Jiang up and down, "However, the old man has changed his temperament a lot, and sitting here is actually for the sake of the queen, so as not to let others break in by mistake and defile the queen as an ordinary concubine, the old man said this, does the queen believe it?" ”

He grinned, his face was full of flesh, and he had a thick beard, and when he smiled, he frightened Jiang and the four-year-old child on the other side to turn pale.

"General Dong, the general is here."

At this time, the Xiliang soldier guarding the door whispered outside, Dong Zhuo laughed and got up, arched his hand towards the door, and the queen on the bed raised her pretty face in fear, and saw Su Chen dressed in armor and coming with an even more vicious guard.

"Dong Gong doesn't need to be polite."

Su Chen stepped straight across the threshold and came in, waved his hand at Dong Zhuo, who was arching his hand to the side, his eyes swept around the room, and then put the 'Yukimi' on his waist on the table, shook his cloak, and sat down opposite Jiang's.

"Empress Jiang, in Xia Suchen, the self-leading general, come here now, I have something to tell you."

"General, please speak." The queen's body trembled slightly, she hugged her son, who was also trembling, and carefully lowered her head.

Su Chen looked at her expressionlessly, although the woman was beautiful and plump, but at such a juncture, he didn't have the heart to look more.

"This matter is not good news, the queen must be prepared."

As if thinking of a direction, Jiang's face gradually changed, he bit his lower lip tightly, raised his gaze and Su Chen's cold eye contact, and his delicate body trembled more and more.

"Your Majesty, he ......"

"He was assassinated, and the man's name was Xiao Moyu, and the Taishi was also injured by him, and died of serious injuries. He has been secretly coveting a picture of the General's Night Banquet in His Majesty's hand, and in the temple, this person attacked His Majesty and snatched the scroll, and the minister has sent a notice to arrest him. ”

"Impossible...... Your Majesty, how could he ......" Empress Jiang's eyes were wet and red, and she sat on the edge of the bed as if she had lost her soul.

"That's just the way it is."

Su Chen's eyes fell on the child in the woman's arms, and he raised his hand slightly, Wu Zixun immediately understood, and stepped forward to snatch the child from the arms of the queen who was in a state of loss of soul.

"What are you doing?!" Empress Jiang reacted and hurriedly stepped forward to grab it, Dong Zhuo grabbed the sawtooth knife on the table and fell down with a bang, blocking in front of the woman, "Empress, it's best not to move." ”

Su Chen hugged the scared and sobbing child in his arms, looked at his little appearance of wanting to cry and didn't dare to cry, and pinched his little face.

"It's very cute, it looks really like the first emperor. Right? ”

On the side, Dong Zhuo smiled viciously, and Su Chen's words and deeds at the moment were too appetizing for him.

Su Chen teased Beigong Shu in his arms for a moment, and returned him to the anxious woman opposite, "The queen's day mourns and changes, Your Majesty was killed by an assassin, it is not the minister's wish, now the court cannot be without a king for a day, the minister thinks that the prince is smart and clever, has the appearance of a bright monarch, and the son inherits the father's throne, which is reasonable." ”

The words have been said here, where can Queen Jiang still hear what it means, she endured the sourness in her heart, tried not to let the tears fall, hugged the prince tightly, although she suppressed her emotions, she still said with a choked voice: "Yes." ”

"That's good, the queen is relieved, the minister will not wronged the queen and the prince, and all the future will be in accordance with the usual day." Su Chen arched his hand and took two steps back: "It's been discussed like this, there are still many things to be dealt with outside, so the minister will retire first." ”

Keeping the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and exiting the dormitory, Su Chen asked the door to be closed, flicked the cloak and turned around and strode away, on the way, Dian Wei followed behind, and asked in a low voice:

"Lord, is this to learn from Cao Gong?"

"King Wei has set a precedent, I will copy it, and this is good to calm down the court as soon as possible, let's go, the loyal ministers and good generals of Yan State over there in the front palace should wait for a while."

He took Dong Zhuo and Dian Wei to stride, and along the way, the Xiliang soldiers followed, and out of the back garden, there were already soldiers waiting for the horses, after all, there was still a distance of more than ten miles from here to the front palace, and it was really delayed if you didn't ride a horse.

On the side of the front palace, a group of soldiers and horses in front of the Wenzhao Hall were stationed, half of the Chinese martial arts, gathered under the stone steps in front of the hall, and stood tremblingly looking at the Xiliang warriors around them who were pressing the handle of the sword, and no one made the slightest sound at this time.

Among them, a group of civil and military personnel, such as Qin Xiuwen, had tattered robes and blood stains on their faces, but the weapons in their hands had been disarmed, and they stood there quite desolately.

"The general has arrived!" A eunuch hurried over and opened his voice in front of the temple gate.

The civil and military forces below were suddenly nervous, and they all turned their heads, and the figures coming from the sky were reflected on the floor tiles of the imperial city, and they stepped on the stone steps with heavy steps, and the leather reins of 'Xuejian' swayed lightly around their waists, Su Chen went straight around the corner of the main hall, and strode through the eaves of the palace, and a group of guards behind him, armor, and swords collided, and there was a loud clang.

The generals in the army also came over at this moment, waiting for Su Chen to enter the hall before rushing in. The eunuch in front of the hall hurriedly stepped forward and announced to the civil and military forces below: "Everyone, please enter the palace." ”

In the daylight, the main hall of the imperial city seemed quieter than usual, this group of civil and military officers clasped their hands on their abdomen, bowed their upper bodies slightly, and carefully walked up the steps, step by step into the Wenzhao Palace, where they have been here many times, but they have never been so trembling as today.

When they entered the palace, they saw that the general, whose age was completely inconsistent with his merits, was carrying them on his back, standing in front of the imperial steps and looking at the dragon chair on the Jinluan Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have a heart-wrenching message for you, Your Majesty has made a great deal."

As soon as the words fell, in the main hall, all the civil and military rao were afraid, and they all raised their faces and stared at Su Chen who was facing away from them in front of them with wide eyes. One of them rushed out of the queue and shouted, "Rebel thief! ”

In his voice, he pounced directly on Su Chen.

Dian Wei frowned, stepped forward and pinched the official's cheek directly, raised it stiffly, and squeezed his palm vigorously, making a sound of bones shattering.

In the eyes of everyone, Dian Wei threw the official out lightly, sliding and rolling on the floor tiles, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.

"Take the corpse down!"

Su Chen half-lowered his eyes, looked at the blood stains dragged out, untied the saber at his waist, and then sat on the chair, "I came all the way, Qingjun's side, swept away the traitors around His Majesty, and protected the Great Yan Sheji, you also saw it, there may be misunderstandings between me and Your Majesty, and they have all been resolved, but when I went to the Zongmiao to worship the first emperors of the Yan Kingdom, I didn't expect that the assassin Xiao Moyu lurked in the shadows, assassinated His Majesty, and took away a picture scroll called the General's Night Banquet, this person is the leader of the Aragami Sect, in the future, I will do my best to eradicate this sect, and I will never let the assassin go unpunished." ”

Su Chen's voice echoed above the main hall, and his gaze swept coldly over the civil and military forces.

"But there is still an urgent matter at the moment, Your Majesty was assassinated and mourned, in such a chaotic time, you can't be without a king, I intend to let the prince Shu ascend the throne as soon as possible, send envoys to quell the war in the east and south, so that Dayan is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

The long knife was holding the cold floor tiles, and Su Chen's upper body leaned forward slightly, looking at a looking face.

One sentence at a time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone against it?"
