Chapter 13: The Death of the Lord

In the early hours of the morning, inside Songjing City.

The palace is solemn and silent, sparsely lit, and the light and shade flicker.

In the imperial study, Yang Yan, the lord of the country in a bright yellow robe, stood with his hands in his hands, and his gaze towards Beimiyagi was disillusioned, as if there was hope, longing and apprehension.

Yesterday's fluctuations in the war naturally spread to Songjing City, and according to secret information, it was the second elder of the Beigong clan who was sitting in Shangluo City who provoked a strong enemy and was held hostage to the lair of the Beigong clan.

As for its follow-up because it was banned, Songjing City cannot be known for the time being.

After a while, a hurried voice sounded, Yang Yan was shocked, and turned to look.

But he saw the commander of the guard enter solemnly, his right hand holding his sword tightly, as if he could draw it at any moment.

Yang Yan's heart jumped, but his face showed displeasure, "What is the disturbance to trespass into the imperial study without regard for etiquette?"

The commander of the guards hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from outside the palace just now, and Your Majesty must move to the capital garden. ”

Huayuan is located in the southwest of Songjing City, close to the southwest gate, which was originally the royal garden, but since the fall of the imperial power, this place has been controlled by the prime minister.

If you live in Jingyuan today, it is tantamount to putting your life in the hands of those with wolf ambitions.

In this way, the power of the entire Songjing court was held by him.

Yang Yan's eyes were cold, Prime Minister Cui Yong was so bold and reckless and deceived the king, it can be said that the crime is unforgivable.

But now I can't help myself, and I have to wait until my second brother Yang Xi comes back.

However, at this moment, you must not be coerced by it to the capital garden, otherwise all the previous efforts will be wasted, and all plans will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Yang Yan's face sank suddenly, and he brushed his sleeves and said: "The widow is the lord of Songjing, and his words and deeds must be based on state affairs, how can he hide in Tibet because of some turmoil." ”

The name of the commander of the guard is Liu Zhen, although he was personally selected by the lord of the country Yang Yan, but I don't know how many masters have changed over the years.

But no matter which owner it is, there is a will that lasts forever.

That is Prime Minister Cui Yong.

Perhaps today, the commander, who was regarded as a sweet and sweet by the ministers outside the palace, had already received a lot of information, but in the end, he obeyed the will of Prime Minister Cui Yong, and the influence exerted on him can be seen.

Liu Zhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his eyes seemed to be unkind, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold, how can you stand under the dangerous wall? ”

Yang Yan looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, and he didn't expect that this guard commander who was promoted by him was actually a white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with it.

I was really blind at the beginning, and I chose such an ungrateful person.

He spat secretly, sooner or later, he will strangle you rebels and thieves.

At this moment, he remembered the little eunuch who entered the palace on an errand almost at the same time as him, and felt a little comforted in his heart.

I played a play here that day, and I don't know if I deceived the Beigong clan.

If he was deceived, the little eunuch might be under Brother Xi's account at the moment, if he saw through it.

Yang Yan was silent.

Seeing that Yang Yan was silent, Liu Zhen thought that he was hesitating, but the person outside the palace was in a hurry and did not allow him to delay for a while.

He immediately said step by step: "Your Majesty, move away." ”

Yang Yan glanced at him, waved his sleeves and turned around and said, "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." ”

Liu Zhen snorted, the golden silk wide blade was exposed, a cold light flickered, and he said gloomily: "I advise Your Majesty not to enter the wine and eat and punish the wine, otherwise it will make everyone's face look bad, and I am afraid it will not end well." ”

Yang Yan Huo Ran turned around, looked at Liu Zhen with anger in his eyes, pointed at him and said sharply: "You are presumptuous!"

Liu Zhen took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Come on, send Your Majesty to move!"

A string of compliments immediately came from outside the hall, and under Yang Yan's anger, more than ten guards rushed in and surrounded Yang Yan.

Immediately, they shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please move!"

Yang Yan scolded: "The Taishi has never spoken, what are you, dare to expel the widow?"

Liu Zhen's cold face was solemn, and there seemed to be a sneer in his eyes, "Your Majesty, the Taishi has passed away, so there is no need to be so frightened." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yan's face changed greatly, he was shocked, and blurted out: "Beigong Lao'er is dead, how is this possible? Who killed it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses, his eyes shining and his spirits refreshed.

He stared at Liu Zhen and asked tightly, "What Commander Liu said is true?"

Liu Zhen glanced around, then bowed his head slightly, "Master Taishi died at the hands of that murderer, and now the four masters of the Beigong clan also surrendered to that person. ”

He said with deep meaning: "If Your Majesty intends to take advantage of the Taishi, I am afraid that you will be disappointed." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Yang Yan's face gradually converged, and he looked at Liu Zhen like a fool.

Immediately, he flicked his sleeves, his majestic face showed a trace of indifference, and said slowly: "Commander Liu, from today onwards, you will no longer serve as the commander of the guards, so you can step down." ”

Liu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly, he didn't get angry, but patiently explained: "Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you, half an hour ago, the Prime Minister had taken over the Imperial City, and now no matter how powerful that murderer is, he won't be able to break through the Imperial City Array for a while." ”

He looked at the lord of the country, Yang Yandi, and his eyes seemed to be playful, "As for the edicts spoken by Your Majesty, they all need to be stamped by the Prime Minister's Mansion before they can take effect." ”

He flung out a sentence lightly, "So Your Majesty, what you say doesn't count." ”

Yang Yan's pupils shrank, his whole body stiffened, and he was silent.

After a while, his expression returned to clarity and glanced at Liu Zhen deeply.

Liu Zhen looked at each other calmly, not afraid at all.

Yang Yan took a long breath, and then sighed, the corners of his mouth seemed to be self-deprecating.

His eyes were lowered, his breath was sluggish, and he walked forward with a slightly sluggish expression, "That's it."

Liu Zhen looked at Yang Yan Xiaosuo's back, and sighed quietly in his heart, but he didn't dare to think about it.

Immediately, the guards surrounded Yang Yanyan and walked towards the capital garden.

Faintly, there seemed to be a muttering voice floating in the air:

"Ten years of bondage and locking the city, thousands of thoughts into the ghost. The emperor is dreaming of hegemony, and the people are still in fire and water. ”

On the same day, Yang Yan, the lord of Qingsong, was imprisoned in Jingyuan, and Prime Minister Cui Yongdai was in charge of the government.

The next day, the ministers invited the new patriarch of the Beigong clan, Beigong Yi, to inherit the position of Taishi.

Five days later, the lord of the country, Yang Yan, died, suspected of dying from hunger strike.

Songjing City is silent, complicated and indescribable.

-----

Outside the city of Songjing, the Xuanjia heavy cavalry was arranged in a mighty manner, making a siege momentum.

On the south city wall, Beigong Yi, Beigong Hao and Cui Yong stood at the head of everyone, looking down on the bottom with cold eyes.

Cui Yong's figure is old, Beigong Yi is calm, and Beigong Hao squinted, as if he had a sneer.

Behind the three of them, a bloated fat man grinned, and looked at the Xuanjia Heavy Rider below with a look of teasing.

There was a creak below, and the gates of the city suddenly opened, revealing a flying horse.

Holding a white flag and carrying a secret letter, he went straight to the Xuanjia Army.

Seeing this, the other party immediately revealed a passage, allowing the messenger to pass through the many camps and reach the Chinese military camp.

Xuanjia Army, Chinese Army.

Yang Xi was in the top position, and Su Xiaojie stood indifferently on his side, with a flat expression.

Below

The generals were either solemn, or looked at the messenger with extremely unkind eyes, or simply snorted coldly.

The messenger knelt down on one knee and said, "General, the Prime Minister has ordered him to pass on the letter, and the secret letter is here, please take a look at it." ”

Yang Xi looked down with cold eyes, and after being silent for a while, he said slowly: "Present it."

Someone on the side immediately presented it, Yang Xi spread it out and took a look, his originally cold expression suddenly changed, and his figure stood upright on the ground, his eyes almost breathing fire.

"Bastard!"

Su Xiaojie looked sideways, and his brows immediately locked.

The generals were surprised, and wondered why His Highness was so angry.

Su Xiaojie passed the secret letter below, and after the generals read it, they were immediately shocked, angry or disbelievable.

"What? That Daoist forced His Majesty to death?"

"What a guts!"

"Damn, that man deserves death!"

"This person has a big plan, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to my Qingsong Country, and it needs to be eradicated as soon as possible!"

Then all the generals raised their heads one after another, and said to Yang Xi indignantly: "Please also ask Your Highness to order the killing of this bureaucracy!"

"Yes, this person dares to force the lord of the country to die, it is really impossible to atone for his sins!"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the noise of the camp was silent for a moment.

Yang Xi stared at the messenger with a gloomy face, and said word by word: "You go back and tell the prime minister that if the prime minister helps me capture that person, Yang Xi can immediately withdraw from the army and never say goodbye!"

The messenger kowtowed and poured garlic, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, rest assured, the humble post will definitely bring the words!"

When the generals heard this, their faces changed, and they immediately shouted: "Your Highness, no!"

"Your Highness, think twice!"

Yang Xi glanced down coldly, and everyone's hearts froze,

The reason why Fang Cai was so angry was to find another excuse for the 'Qingjun side'. After all, now everyone knows that the king is weak and the minister is strong, and it is difficult to convince the public under this banner alone.

But if you attack Songjing City in order to avenge the lord of the country, it will undoubtedly make your own legitimacy heavier, and you can even add the title of 'Wang Shi' to your body.

Righteousness is in the body, and it is justified to obey the mandate of heaven.

Behind this great righteousness, not only many families, families, people and even officials in the country can take refuge in it, after all, they are officials and soldiers.

When the rest of the cities were swept away in the future, they were naturally invincible, invincible, and invincible.

However, at this moment, His Highness intends to give up halfway, isn't this a waste of all his previous achievements?

Catching a glimpse of the heavy general's face changing suddenly, Yang Xi waved his hand and swept his eyes coldly, "Needless to say, I have made up my mind." ”

He then said to the messenger below: "You go back quickly and report the words of the general to the prime minister."

The messenger immediately made a respectful promise, and immediately with the cold eyes of all the generals, he almost withdrew from the camp.

When I got out of the bill, I didn't realize that the placket of my back was already soaked.

After a while, after the messenger came out of the battle, heated discussions immediately broke out in the tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Xi slapped it heavily and said sharply: "Enough!"

There was a moment of silence, and the gaze that looked at Yang Xi was a little strange.

If the master cannot bring 'wealth' to his family, then what should he do?

Realizing that Fang Cai's tone was too heavy, Yang Xi's tone softened slightly, "Everyone be calm and don't be impatient, you will have your own plans." ”

At this time, a general frowned and said, "Your Highness, if that old man Cui is unwilling to be an enemy of that Dao person, could it be that we really want to retreat?"

At this time, Su Xiaojie above frowned and shouted: "I can't even see His Highness's discord plan, you are really a bunch of rice buckets!"

Everyone was stunned, and then their faces suddenly turned abrupt, and they all showed shame.

Yang Xi frowned slightly, but did not explain.
