Xiao Yan was pacing back and forth in the study at this time, his anxiety made Xiao Hong, who was standing aside, a little uneasy, since Xiao Zong defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the emperor's brother was angry, it was far from today's performance.

"Yiyang was lost, even General Cao Jingzong was defeated and returned, who else can go to guard this side now?" Xiao Yan looked at the battle report that had just been sent from the front line hundreds of miles urgently, and felt remorse in his heart, he went to Tongtai Temple to become a monk for less than a year, so he had to come out of the temple to deal with these mundane things, he was a hundred reluctant in his heart, but he was still the emperor of Daliang, and when he encountered such an urgent matter, he still had to come back to take on this great responsibility. Now that the war in Nanliang is a mess, how can we clean up this mess? Who will be sent to lead the troops to fight? Now that Wei Rui is sick in bed, Cao Jingzong has just been defeated in the front, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all unaware of the three questions every day, and no one dares to speak up, he is really in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, what is the ...... I wonder if the emperor can let him lead his troops to attack Wei?" Xiao Hong said stubbornly, if he doesn't recommend a general who can fight at this moment, he is afraid that his emperor brother will ask him to go into battle to supervise the battle, the first few times he has returned, Xiao Yan's face is getting uglier and uglier every time, if this errand he doesn't want to take it on himself again.

If he can lead the troops, then the General Assembly will not have to worry. Xiao Yan couldn't imagine that this sixth brother was incapable of fighting, and this kind of planning and planning kung fu was really good.

"There is more than a month to go is my brother's birthday, and then I can let He Zheng return to the dynasty and discuss with him about the Northern Expedition, what does the emperor think?" Xiao Hong saw Xiao Yan's face with joy, and knew that this matter could be done.

"It's okay, it will be a gratifying thing for you and me to gather together at that time. Xiao Yan sighed slightly, "It's just that thinking about this war in the north is always worrying." ”

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, I think I am a big beam, the territory is vast, the Xianbei clan is a race that fights on horseback, and when it comes to our south, most of them will not adapt to the water and soil, if you want to survive here, I am afraid that it is not so easy. ”

"How...... What you're thinking about now is that they can't survive here? Hmph...... Can they really hit Jiankang?" Xiao Yan was displeased when he heard this.

"Brother Chen's speech, Brother Chen's brother deserves to die, please forgive the emperor!" Xiao Hong realized that his words were wrong, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Hmph...... It's just that you're just thinking about it, and I don't blame you. You are in charge of Guanglu Temple, you still have to worry more about this birthday. Although Xiao Yan was displeased, for the sake of his brother, he couldn't punish him, so he gave Xiao Hong a step down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will do my best for the emperor's birthday!" Xiao Hong hurriedly thanked him.

When he got up, he revealed a piece of jade pinned to his waist, the jade was crystal clear, the luster was warm, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw it, but he couldn't help but didn't speak.

After Xiao Hong left the study, Xiao Yan called over to the eunuch Bingbi who came with him: "Draw up a holy decree for Lianqin, and Lianqin will order Wei Rui to be the general of Pingbei and the assassin of Yongzhou." The United Nations must thoroughly investigate the tragedy of Zhang Yuanzhi in Yongzhou. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the eunuch Bingbi hurriedly began to draft.

"Slowly, change this holy decree to a secret decree and send it to Wei Mansion by hand. Xiao Yan groaned for a moment and commanded.

"Your Majesty, the little one obeys orders!"

Out of the palace, Xiao Hong sulked while walking along the way, this emperor is terrible, he is high, he can say whatever he wants, and why is he living such a life, he has to listen to what he says? The more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and as soon as he arrived in the mansion, he heard that Princess Yongxing had just come and asked him to discuss things.

In the past few decades, he has spread his eyes around the civil and military officials, and used the handle of these civil and military officials to strictly control their words and deeds, so that one day in the future, he can take down the country of this beam in one fell swoop, and it belongs to himself, and he is no exception to his niece, but it is not easy to place eyeliner next to the eldest princess, rather than letting the eldest princess find any flaws, it is better to let yourself firmly control her.

He hurried to Princess Yongxing's residence, naturally knowing what this niece was going to discuss with him. If the affair between his emperor brother and his brother's biological daughter behind his back reached Xiao Yan's ears, he was afraid that he would split his five horses. Therefore, every time he has a private meeting with this Yongxing princess, he will be careful and try to be foolproof.

As soon as Xiao Yuyao saw her sixth uncle, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, she didn't know what evil she had fallen into, she just liked this sixth uncle, every time she was with him, she would have inexplicable excitement, the taste of stealing food was different from others, and this uncle's submissive appearance in front of her, although she was a little disliked, but it did not hinder her good mood. It's just that today's imperial uncle walked in with an unhappy face, and she naturally felt a little disappointed.

"What's going on now?" she didn't feel the slightest grievance.

"Today, I said the wrong thing in front of your emperor's father, and he reprimanded me......" Xiao Hong thought that his cold sweat almost fell at that time, and his heart was extremely depressed.

"Hmph! Look at your little bit of talent, what if my father scolds you a few words? He is the emperor, and he can do whatever he wants with you. Xiao Yuyao preached disdainfully.

"Yes, this country belongs to your father, but it is also our Xiao family. Xiao Hong's cold gaze fell on Xiao Yuyao.

"You...... Do you want to have a different heart for my father?" Xiao Yuyao was shocked when he saw his cold gaze.

"What if you have a different heart, what if you don't have a different heart?" Xiao Hong asked with a sly smile.

"If you have any different intentions, I will go and inform my father and break your body into ten thousand pieces. Xiao Yuyao raised her eyebrows and shouted.

"Yes, you have an affair with me, and you want to break me into pieces, aren't you afraid that you will end up like me?" Xiao Hong stretched out his hand and rubbed the piece of jade that Xiao Yuyao gave him on his waist, and asked with a sneer.

“...... You, how dare you?" Xiao Yuyao suddenly felt frightened, the Sixth Emperor Uncle in front of her was so terrifying in her eyes at this time.

"Yuyao, don't be afraid, as long as you obediently listen to me, everything will be fine. Xiao Hong also knows that this Yongxing princess is Xiao Yan's favorite daughter, if her tone is not tight, I am afraid that Xiao Yan will get rid of herself if she knows her ambition, and at this time, she can only slowly pull Xiao Yuyao to her side, which is the safest.

"I, you are not allowed to covet my father's throne!" Xiao Yuyao tried to keep himself calm.

"How could it be? Now that you and I are together, aren't we very happy? Yuyao, let's not think about those troubles, let me ...... Comfort and comfort you. Xiao Hong's face was lewd, and he hugged Xiao Yuyao to the bed.

At this time, Xiao Yuyao realized that he had fallen into a trap and could not break free, and that trap was dug by himself......

Fan Yunzong was on pins and needles in the house, and more than a month had passed since he received a letter from his cousin's family to set off, and no one had arrived in the capital. Since the accident in Yongzhou, he has been figuring out the emperor's holy will day and night, but Emperor Wu Xiao Yan has never had a clear attitude, and he has been rummaging through the few Buddhist scriptures in his hand all day long. Since Emperor Wu advocated Buddhism, he studied Buddhism all day long, coarse tea and light rice, and paid far less attention to the affairs of the court than at the beginning of his career. Fan Yunzong became more and more incomprehensible to him, the emperor. Hou Jing on the border is about to move, after the second prince Xiao Zong defected, he was even more in concert with the anti-Liang forces, and from time to time there was some chaos, and the border was not peaceful. Emperor Wu had a big henchman under his nose, but Emperor Wu ignored it and let him do whatever he wanted, this person covered the sky with his hands and eyes, and he didn't put these civil and military officials in his eyes, not to mention that one Fan Yuncheng did something inappropriate, that is, ten officials like Fan Yuncheng, in his eyes, he also wanted to kill and kill, and if he wanted to dismiss the official, no one could stop him. Fan Yunzong was anxious in his eyes, but Emperor Wu trusted this person, and he couldn't listen to anyone who said it.

"Master, Lord Fan's family has already arrived at the side door. The butler hurried in.

"Why did you go to the side door, isn't there someone at the gate?" Fan Yunzong frowned.

"The adults didn't want to be too public, and insisted on entering through the side door. ”

"Alas!" Fan Yunzong had to go out of the door.

"How is my brother doing?" Fan Yuncheng brought the whole family to give a gift.

"Okay, all of us, get up, after a long journey, get in and get some rest. Fan Yunzong hurriedly helped them up.

"Brother and sister, you and the children are also tired, go to the back hall to eat something first, rest and rest, Yun Cheng and I have a few words to say. Fan Yunzong preached to Ling Xiao.

"So thank you big brother, I took the children to the back hall first. Ling Xiao naturally understood what Fan Yunzong's intentions were, now Fan Yuncheng's matter involves the entire Fan family, if it is not handled well, this Fan family will face the disaster of annihilation.

After Ling Xiao and the children left, Fan Yunzong retreated left and right, and whispered to Fan Yuncheng. Fan Yuncheng listened to his cousin's words and was silent for a while. Fan Yunzong walked back and forth in the study, and his heart was extremely uneasy. The emperor sent Wei Rui, the general of Pingbei who had recovered from a long illness, to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou, so that the case of Zhang Yuanzhi's extermination could only be handed over to Wei Rui to investigate, thinking that Wei Rui had been upright all his life, Fan Yunzong was not too worried, he was most worried about the official position held by his cousin, and he couldn't imagine that the emperor would let Fan Yuncheng do what Guanglu Temple Shaoqing. As soon as this official position is done, it is close to the royal family, but the risks are also greater, related to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the emperor and the palace.

"Big brother, can you not do it?" Fan Yuncheng said with some difficulty.

"Alas, if you want to resign and go into hiding, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Now that the emperor has handed over the case of Yongzhou to others, he may not necessarily let you go. Fan Yunzong couldn't help sighing, "I can't figure out who is so cruel and will wipe out Lord Zhang's family." ”

"The younger brother has also been unable to figure it out, and has been thinking about it for the past few months. Fan Yuncheng was puzzled, suffering from the fact that he could no longer handle this matter, and he became more and more depressed when he thought about it.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being, He Chen has come to the mansion every day to inquire about your news in the past few days, and at this time, his official sedan chair is afraid that it has already arrived at the mansion gate. You've just arrived in the capital and gathered with your old friends. This was originally the house that my father bought for you, and you can rest assured that my house is only one street away from here, and you can send a servant to inform you if you have something. Fan Yunzong looked at Fan Yuncheng's haggard face, quite distressed, his cousin has always been like a god and a god for the case, but he is stupid and pedantic about things in the officialdom, and he can't be tactful. Since his father's death, the emperor is far less close to the Fan family than before, but he has been an official in the capital for many years, and the emperor does not regard himself as an outsider.

"Big brother, now that I have just come to the capital, it's better not to see those old people!" Fan Yuncheng replied sullenly.

"Alas...... Yun Cheng, you have such a temperament...... But you have to change it, now you are in the capital, this capital is no more than Qiaozhou, Yongzhou, this Beijing officials are more complicated, today he pulls you into the gang, tomorrow there will be someone else to pull you into the gang, you are in this gang, that group will see you as a thorn in the flesh, you change to another group, then the original group of people take you as an enemy, think about these things, you don't change your stubborn nature, okay?" Fan Yunzong naturally knows this cousin's personality and temper, and if he still handles things like before now, he is afraid that there will still be such a loss in the future.

"Big brother, why do you have to join the gang? Can't I just do things alone?" Fan Yuncheng really didn't understand his brother's thoughts.

"How can this official in the capital be as simple as you think? If it is really as you say, the wind in this world will not be so declining. Fan Yunzong naturally knew that this sentence and two sentences were not clear.

"Big brother, little brother knows, I know that the big brother reminded me for my good, thank you here. Fan Yuncheng didn't know that the eldest brother said that these were all for his own good, just left Yongzhou and came to the capital, he was like a blind man, he didn't know the direction at all, he didn't know how to move, if he didn't understand the guidance of people, he was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch.

"It's good to know, you and your brother and sister are tired, rest early, after a few days there will be more things, and you will know the truth in your brother's words." ”

"Yes, big brother!" Fan Yuncheng no longer had any ideas at this time, and when he first arrived, he had to listen to his cousin's arrangement and settle his family well.

Inside the mansion gate, Fan Jun was chasing Fan Yu who was running around, trying to make him stop, at this time the whole family was only this child, still looking innocent, and he didn't feel any danger around him.

Fan Yuncheng looked at his wife who had been standing silent in the courtyard, it had been many years, and he hadn't seen her grim expression, he sighed secretly, now that he wanted to retreat, it was impossible for him to retreat, what would happen in the future, he could only passively accept it......
