Chapter 639: The Emperor's Capital (10)

In the history of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, there has always been a problem that has been a headache for historians, that is, how did the Shenwu Emperor Liu Fan ascend to this throne. Just like how Liu Fan reached an agreement with Shiling, no one knows what the reason or means are, because the people who helped Liu Fan ascend to the throne are all absolute henchmen of the Shenwu Emperor Liu Fan, and they will never say anything unfavorable to Liu Fan. Even Liu Fan's descendants, the crown prince and the princes, queens, concubines, etc., all kept silent about this. Even Ximenye, who later became the king of Anle, kept silent about this matter, so this matter became a historical unsolved case, and various versions appeared in the folk scripts, but no matter which script, people have a practice, that is, Ximen Ye took the initiative to Zen, and the fact is that this is the case.

Ximen Ye looked at Liu Fan who was kneeling in front of him, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart, and it was not for nothing that he offered to take the initiative to cede the throne to Liu Fan. The empire was already terminally ill, and although he didn't know who was behind it to push all this forward, Simon Ye knew that the people behind him were definitely not something he could solve. Ximen Ye is very smart, and Ximen Ye, who has received an elite education from the royal family, knows very well the enemies he has to face, and also understands that the only reason why he can still exist in the empire is because he is the rightful emperor of the empire.

"Brother-in-law, get up and speak. Ximen Ye saw that the faces of the four people kneeling on the ground with Liu Fan were a little unnatural, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Fan up. Ximen Ye is very smart, he knows that his current identity as an emperor is nothing in Liu Fan's eyes, so it is better not to have the identity of this emperor. Get close to Liu Fan as a relative. Liu Fan married Ximen Yan. And Ximen Yan is Ximen Ye's own sister. Logically speaking, Liu Fan is indeed the closest person to Ximenye at present.

"The minister doesn't dare, if the emperor doesn't take back the emperor's order, the minister will kneel to the ground. The minister has no thoughts about the throne, the ancestor of the minister is the first general under the command of the first emperor, and the minister is also willing to become the sharpest sword in the hands of the emperor. Liu Fan knelt on the ground, wondering in his heart which bastard was fooling around, is it time to ascend to this throne? His subordinates will definitely not rebel, but Liu Yu and they will definitely not agree to Liu Fan's ascension to the throne. Now is the time for a big war. Liu Fan didn't want a fire in the backyard, so he would have a fart fight, so he surrendered directly.

Ximen Ye's face changed, he couldn't judge whether what Liu Fan said was the truth or not, the royal elite education let Ximen Ye know that the emperor must not trust any minister easily. If Liu Fan didn't think about this throne, Ximen Ye would never believe it. Liu Fan now surpasses Ximen Ye a lot in terms of both the army and the strength in his hands, and even his prestige among the people of the empire is definitely not comparable to Ximen Ye.

"Brother-in-law, get up. It was not my decision to give the throne to my brother-in-law, it was an edict left by the previous emperor, and I just did it. Ximen Ye helped Liu Fan to the chair and said to Liu Fan slowly. Liu Fan was shocked, and Ximen Yan's words are still in his ears. If he is really like this little kid at this time, Liu Fan is estimated to be restless in the backyard.

"The minister doesn't dare, if the emperor insists on giving up the throne, please allow the minister to release the military power and return to his hometown after pacifying the world, and the minister will not dare to covet the throne. Liu Fan's heart was pounding, he definitely wanted to ascend the throne, but it was definitely not now, the world was undecided, and his prestige was not yet the time to take over the throne. Liu Fan looked at Ximen Ye with a sincere face, Liu Fan wanted to slap Ximen Ye a few big mouths, I am busy now, can you not make trouble for me here, of course, Liu Fan will not show it at this time, he will only continue to squeeze out Ximen Ye in his heart.

Dismissal of military power, Ximen Ye knew that Liu Fan's military power could not be lifted no matter what, not to mention that Liu Fan had won the support of many nobles after a series of marriages, even the people of the empire were looking at Liu Fan, not to mention that the generals under Liu Fan's command would not agree to let Liu Fan be relieved of military power. Even if Liu Fan handed over the military power himself, what would he Ximen Ye use to subdue those arrogant generals?

Simonye's face changed, but he was quickly relieved. If there was no edict from Emperor Ling, Ximen Ye would not have ceded the throne to Liu Fan. But now with the basis of Emperor Ling, Ximen Ye Chanrang's heart is at ease. He understands that instead of being an emperor now, it is better to be a prince, to be a happy and carefree prince. Ximen Ye smiled at Liu Fan, and glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but he also revealed a trace of helplessness.

"Bixia, if I can defend the imperial capital this time, you will never have to live this kind of life without freedom again, but now please bear with me for a few days, the enemy's strength is still very strong, and now my strength is not enough to deal with the other party. Liu Fan saw Ximenye's helplessness, and said to Ximenye, and at the same time sympathized with this little emperor in his heart. Whether it's at the Empire's conjuring ceremony or at the funeral of the Liu family. Ximenye's series of actions are still very suitable for being an emperor, but he was born in this troubled era, born in this era when it is absolutely impossible to rule the empire without iron and blood.

Ximenye nodded silently with his eyes and said: "I know, brother-in-law, if I can really live freely, I really want to go out and take a walk, see this empire, look at this empire founded by our ancestors, and look at the people of this empire." Look at the soldiers who support this empire with their lives and blood, brother-in-law, I really want to go out and have a look. ”

"Please rest assured, if I can't keep the imperial capital this time, I will also find a way to bring Bixia out of the imperial capital, we will go to the south to gather people of insight from all over the world, jointly raise troops to the north, mobilize a large army to conquer the imperial capital, and recapture this ancestral eternal sleeping place. Liu Fan naturally knows the bitterness in Ximen Ye's heart, a few years of imprisonment is unacceptable to a normal person, how did Ximen Ye survive all these years, Ximen Yan has already told Liu Fan, so that Liu Fan's heart also has a strong hatred for Zhang Rang.

Ximen Ye smiled helplessly: "I know my brother-in-law's ability, if my brother-in-law can't keep this imperial capital, I'm afraid no one will be able to keep the imperial capital." It's just that I don't know how many innocent soldiers will shed blood and sacrifice for this empire this time. How many souls have been added to the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine of the Empire. The people of the empire have suffered for no reason. ”

"Please rest assured, although Zhang Rang's remnants are very strong, I have also recruited reinforcements from all over the country, and I am hurrying up, and they will definitely appear in the imperial capital in a few days. I will do my best to keep the imperial capital, please rest assured, I will not give up the imperial capital until the last resort. Liu Fan said in a firm tone, the political significance of the imperial capital to Liu Fan is very important. As a last resort, Liu Fan really didn't want to give up the imperial capital, with the imperial capital, Liu Fan's army would have a correct name, and when the time came, he would hold a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

"Brother-in-law, don't call me bixia, but I feel that I am divided, and my brother-in-law will be called the emperor's brother or the fifth brother." Ximen Ye said to Liu Fan. As soon as Liu Fan wanted to speak, he was stopped by Ximenye. Simon Ye said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you and your sister have been married for a while. Sister, how are they? The queen mother has always been in your Yangzhou, how is she an old man?"

"They are all right, but they are all very concerned, and every time I return to the army from the army, the most I hear is when the army will be able to attack Sizhou, enter the imperial capital and rescue you from Zhang Rang's hands. Liu Fan said to Ximen Ye with a smile, Liu Fan is not used to this way of speaking, so he simply said it casually.

"Your sister, in particular, has to nag in my ear every day, and every day I have to gather all the army under my command and go north with all my might. Your sister even pulled Yayue and them, and really let me lead the army under my command to attack the imperial capital, no, no, no. You don't know how difficult my situation is, without a stable base, my army is rootless duckweed, and if it fails, the empire will be completely in chaos. ”

"I know my brother-in-law's difficulties, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Dijing now. Ximen Ye smiled helplessly: "Although I don't know much about your situation in the south, I know that if you really lead a large army north to attack the imperial capital as my sister requested, once defeated, no one will be able to save me." It's just that we think about how they hid their strength, and they didn't even find out when their father was reincarnated. ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in Ximenye's eyes, and these people all came out like bamboo shoots after the rain, which made Ximenye very annoyed. When Weishenme's father was reincarnated, these people didn't dare to jump out, but after a few years of his accession to the throne, all of them came out, and their strength was stronger than the other, are they really easy to bully? Ximenye is very distressed, very annoyed, I really want to find these people and ask, what is the situation, you are interested in messing with me?

"Fifth brother, it's not that the first emperor didn't find out, but their strength is so huge that the first emperor has no way to deal with it, the military power and power in various places are sidelined, and even the imperial Zuihou's protection empire's Praetorian Guards are controlled by others, and the royal family has no soldiers at all, only the Jin Wuwei and dragoon in the palace are available, but these two armies can't be sent out at all. This is also the reason why Emperor Weishenme knew that they didn't deal with them either, there was only one reason, and Emperor Wei had no way to solve it at all. Liu Fan's face also flashed a trace of helplessness, after all, the mediocrity of the Spirit Emperor was famous in the empire. Although Liu Fan didn't know if there was a forced factor in this, Emperor Ling had no military power, and there were no soldiers at all, which is a big truth. Emperor Ling, the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Palace, couldn't mobilize a single soldier at all.

"Brother-in-law, you just said that this time Zhang Rang's remnants are still very strong, what's going on? Aren't Jin Wuwei and the Dragoon already under control? And as far as I know, the guards guarding the imperial capital have been controlled by Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian, and the troops they ordered have been transferred out of the imperial capital with the help of the hand of the celebrant of the imperial capital, and now the only liliang they can use in the imperial capital is the killer of the net, the net is very strong, I know, but there are so many masters and armies in the imperial capital, it is not easy for them to make any big moves, right?"

Liu Fan shook his head helplessly after hearing Ximen Ye's words and said: "Fifth brother, you still don't know about this empire, fifth brother, you should know that the Ximen family, the Liu family, and the Xia family have all received orders to hunt and kill the rivers and lakes, right? And after we were forced out of the imperial capital, you should also know that Zhang Rang pardoned these Jianghu sects that the empire had already banned. Now there are many of them active in the imperial capital. They will all be my main enemies. ”

After hearing Liu Fan's words, Ximen Ye's brows instantly furrowed. He didn't know what was going on outside, and the news he and Liu Fan had heard from the eunuchs and guards in bits and pieces. But he didn't expect the situation in the imperial capital to be so complicated. Liu Fan's words made Ximen Ye speechless, and unconsciously Liu Fan had replaced him, the emperor, and became the number one wanted criminal on the rivers and lakes, what is the situation, it seems that this throne should be born Liu Fan, which made Ximen Ye very helpless, no matter what, his throne should be the number one wanted criminal on the rivers and lakes, right.

"Fifth brother. Now my identity is really complicated, I am not only the most wanted man on the rivers and lakes, but even the empire I am also the most wanted many, and I don't know how many people want my head every day. Liu Fan said helplessly to Ximenye, the identity of this wanted criminal made Liu Fan very helpless, those bounty hunters are still very conscientious, and there will be one or two troubles every few days, although they have been eradicated by Dian Wei and Xu Chu, but these people are elusive, and they can't prevent Liu Fan very helpless. Six Doors is very sensible. I didn't look for Liu Fan at all, as if the six doors didn't exist at all. Of course, there must be Huang Yi's factor in this.

"Brother-in-law doesn't say that I have to forget, my brother-in-law is the most valuable wanted criminal in the empire now, and I don't know if the people of Six Doors have trouble going to my brother-in-law. As soon as Ximen Ye heard Liu Fan's words, he was haha's daxiao, and now the only thing that can make Ximen Ye find a little excitement is that Liu Fan is the most wanted criminal in the empire, and he Ximen Ye is still the emperor of the empire.

"Brother-in-law, anyway, Zhao Gao of the celebrant is your person, you can ask Zhao Gao to revoke this wanted warrant for you in a while, I really want to know if my sister is laughing at you?" Ximenye's eyes blinked at Liu Fan, and Ximenye's question instantly made Liu Fan's face very ugly. Ximen Ye also got the answer from Liu Fan's face, Ximen Yan is such an arrogant person, in the current situation where Liu Fan is impeccable in everything, how can the identity of this wanted criminal not be used by Ximen Yan to make a fuss, besides, Liu Fan, as the most wanted man, is also the most bizarre horse master in the history of the empire.

Both of them laughed helplessly, and Simon Ye's words made the tension between the two disappear in an instant. Liu Fan is also rare to be relaxed, so he simply put down everything and chatted with Ximen Ye, anyway, there are Zhao Gao, Wei Zhongxian, Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji in the imperial capital, even if there is something that can't be cleaned up, Liu Fan doesn't have to rush out, anyway, there is time to solve it, and slowly wait for his reinforcements.

"Okay, it's not early, fifth brother, you are enduring in this palace for a few days, if you can keep the imperial capital, you can move freely, if you can't keep the imperial capital, I will find a way to take you out of the imperial capital and go to Yangzhou to find your sister." ”

"Well, brother-in-law Lao bothered, by the way, brother-in-law, you have been married for almost half a year, and now my sister is pregnant?" Ximen Ye's sudden words made Liu Fan stop in an instant, this question asked Liu Fan's heartache, Liu Fan seemed to remember the unbearable past, although he said that he had been married for almost half a year, but now the number of times he and his wife have sex is really limited, and now except for one Liu Ailin, Liu Fan really has no children of his own, which makes Liu Fan's subordinates also very anxious, especially those local generals of the Tianlong Empire, the lord has no descendants is always not reassuring, even if the descendants are useless, as long as there is an agent to come out, they at least have a person who can be loyal to them, Liu Fan is unfortunately killed in battle now, but they don't even have the object of allegiance, Liu Ailin They definitely don't accept it, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for other people in the Liu family to take Liu Fan's place.

"I know, brother-in-law can't rush this matter, you and your sister are still very young. Seeing the continuous change of expression on Liu Fan's face, Ximen Ye instantly understood something, and hurriedly changed the tone of an elder and said to Liu Fan earnestly, which instantly made Liu Fan have an urge to vomit blood, what is this and what. Liu Fan looked at Ximen Ye with a fierce look, which meant to tell Ximen Ye that if you dare to talk nonsense, I will do what to you, Ximen Ye hurriedly hahadaxiao and Liu Fan beat Maha.

"Okay, I'll talk about these things later, I'm leaving, you bear with me these days, there will definitely be a lot of fighting in the palace these days, and I will send more guards here." Liu Fan hurriedly escaped like a thief, he was afraid that Ximen Ye would suddenly say something that he shouldn't say if he couldn't control his mouth, which would only make Liu Fan more embarrassed.

Liu Fan walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, recruited a guard and asked him to give him an order to strengthen the guards here, and hurriedly walked outside the palace with the ruthless four and the thirty-six Tiangang. The current situation is still unclear, and the calculation time is almost a day or two, and those Jianghu people are about to kill the door, Liu Fan must prepare as early as possible.

"My lord, something seems wrong. Ruthlessly walked to Liu Fan's side and whispered to Liu Fan, Liu Fan, who was thinking about something, came back to his senses in an instant, and really found that the surroundings were unusually quiet. (To be continued......)
