King Zhenbei has a favorite

Chapter 104 If the prince's mighty power is delayed any longer, the sharp-hearted prince will b

If the reinforcements don't enter the city for a while, the overall situation will not be stable for a while, and there are still dangers lurking, but Gu Ting can't care about it. He wants to see Huo Yan, and he will see him as soon as the city gate is opened!

All kinds of news came back from the front, in addition to the battle situation, of course, there is also King Zhenbei's response, what he said, those words gave him the first feeling of deja vu, and it was only later that he remembered that he had said the same thing.At the time of guarding Jiuyuan, when the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion was killed...

The belief in their hearts has always been the same.

Power endows people with ambition, everyone wants good things, but these rights do not belong to a certain person, they are flowing, and their roots come from the people, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Cherish and want to protect, it will flow to you and give back to you, you ignore it, you are conceited, what you consume is always your own credit line, the more you desire, the tighter you hold on, the more you will lose it.

Swords collided outside the city gate, war horses neighed, and the smell of blood spread all the way to the streets in the city with the wind. Gu Ting was very familiar with this sound, and he would never be dizzy and nauseated by this smell again. This is Huo Yan's battlefield. On his battlefield, he has always been invincible and will never lose!

I don't know how long it took, the drumming gradually stopped, and the outside of the city became quiet. After the next class, the city gate opened slowly, and the city guards stood up in silence, welcoming the return of the heroes.

Under the bright golden sun, a man came riding alone on a horse, his eyes were firm, his murderous aura was still there, his light armor was stained with blood, and strangers should not approach him, the spring breeze blew his cloak, and his long legs straddling the horse were quite beautiful and tight And full of power.

It's Huo Yan, King of Zhenbei!

"My lord is mighty!"

"Thank you, my lord, for leading the troops in time!"

"My lord is heroic, I will remember it in my heart, and I will never forget it!"

It was different from the first time I came to Beijing. At that time, the people in the city were very indifferent. Most of the people who didn’t know King Zhenbei didn’t know the news of his coming to Beijing. Afraid of causing trouble, I heard that the King of Zhenbei supported his troops with self-respect, killed Yingye, and made great achievements. Which one is not troublesome?Is it stupid not to run away?

This time, the common people rushed to both sides of the street, looking at the King of Zhenbei with extremely enthusiastic eyes, bowing, shouting, thanking, throwing flowers, throwing fruits, just a short distance , the Sipa that fell beside Huo Yan collected all kinds of colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, and they could open a dyeing workshop, and their posture was even worse than that of Jiuyuan.

It can be seen that the eyes of the people have always been discerning, and they all know who treats them well.They are not really indifferent, they have always had the simple enthusiasm hidden in their hearts, but the reality has repeatedly disappointed them, and this enthusiasm has been hidden until one day the fire reappears.

What you do for them, one day, they will repay you a thousand times and a hundred times.

The people really want to come forward, want to get in touch with King Zhenbei at close range, kowtow, and say thanks, no one cares about his cold face, knowing that he is the one who will protect them with his life, his cold face even It's cute, everyone is no longer afraid, all kinds of things are ready to move, but look at the people around you, thinking that so many people can't squeeze in together, let alone hurt the prince, it's not good to scare the horse, it's reserved and Tangled.

Gu Ting stood in such a crowd, looking at Huo Yan from afar.

There were too many people on both sides of the street, but for some reason, there was probably a sympathy. Huo Yan saw Gu Ting at a glance. His eyebrows were picturesque, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his smile melted in the spring breeze. good.

Just for this kind of smile, for this kind of Anping, he is willing to let his body be stained with blood, make the blade dull, and let himself be injured and dirty!

How nice it was his man.

I am back.

It was inconvenient for him to speak loudly, so he just moved his mouth towards Zhan Guting.

Gu Ting didn't have any scruples, and his smile was bigger, his hands were stretched to his lips, and his voice was willful and flamboyant: "My lord, you have worked hard!"

Huo Yan's pupils tightened, and his heart skipped a beat.

Gu Ting continued to shout: "Congratulations to the prince on his triumphant return! The majesty of the prince is heartbreaking!"

In front of so many people...

Huo Yan looked around, coughed, and smiled helplessly in Gu Ting's direction.

Tormenting little things.

He made a gesture, called a personal guard over, said a few words softly, the personal guard avoided people, found Gu Ting accurately, saluted respectfully, and explained what the prince wanted to bring—

Just after the war, there was a mess everywhere, he must go to the palace, it's not a good thing to enjoy the comfort, so he won't take Gu Ting with him to suffer, let Gu Ting go back to the mansion first, and wait for him to go back.

Gu Ting nodded emphatically at Huo Yan, expressing that he understands, you just go to work.

The prince suddenly rebelled, and the situation is unknown everywhere. He is always in the mansion to receive news from the outside world to prevent all kinds of accidents. Huo Yan must have been receiving the news he handed over, including the second prince, including Jiang Muyun, who are fighting before the battle. When you are busy, you definitely don’t have time to read it. Now that you are back from victory, you must have gone through all the important information, so you don’t need him to repeat it. Fan Dachuan will remind him of anything he overlooked.

Yes, Fan Dachuan has come back and walked to Huo Yan's side, and he was not injured at Jiang Muyun's house.The biggest crisis has been eliminated, the rebels have all been taken down, basically there is nothing to worry about, and there will be no danger around him, except for Wu Feng, there are also guards.

There was nothing wrong with Gu Ting's thinking, he mouthed 'come back soon' to Huo Yan, and then withdrew from the crowd.

……

When the battle broke out outside the city gate, and when the king of Zhenbei came back to help, the prince knew that the situation was over and he couldn't play anymore!All his actions are planned by surprise. No one else is prepared for him to succeed. In terms of fighting alone, he will definitely not win, and he doesn't have enough soldiers. What should we do now?

Of course it is... If you don't do anything, you will kill the king and become the throne immediately!I've given you face, but you don't want it, so you won't give the decree of abdication, right?Alright, don't linger on your last breath, just die!

But how could the second prince allow it?He has been waiting for a long time, now is the time, if he doesn't start, it will be over!Naturally, the first one overslept and rushed to Emperor Jianping's bedroom to rescue him——

"Who dares to hurt my royal father!"

With Jiang Muyun as the nail to drive into the enemy, he knows everything about how the crown prince wants to play this game, where the manpower is, where the weak points are, and how to go the shortest way.

The words were loud and powerful: "The king of Zhenbei has brought troops to help, and the incident at the city gate has been settled. When you find your way back and lay down your weapons, you will be spared the death penalty. Otherwise, you will commit a rebellion and kill the nine clans!"

The imperial palace seems to be the most closed, and it is also the one with the fastest news. If there is a wind outside, who dares to move?

Whenever the world is in chaos, the first one to raise the flag to cause trouble will always be the rebellious officials and thieves, and the second one to come over will always wear a yellow robe and become the final winner. The second prince seems to have come late, but in fact it was just right!

In the emperor's bedroom, Emperor Jianping had successfully taken the antidote presented by Concubine You Gui and regained some strength.

Before there is no antidote, Concubine You Gui is very important. With antidote, of course it is useless. Meiren Yao hesitated before, but she quickly figured it out. The emperor just wants to die, so how could he love Concubine You again?Forget the big and bright green hat?The emperor wants to give you face. Your merit is merit, and your mistakes are also merit. If you are disgusted with you, your mistakes are also wrong, and your merit is also wrong. What is there to hesitate?

Once the contract was terminated, it seemed that there was no problem, Yao Meiren let go of the grind and killed the donkey, and put Concubine You in the cold palace again!There are many things today, so what crime can't be covered?Now she is the one who understands the emperor's heart best and is the most favored person, who dares to object!

The result was that Meiren Yao was so arrogant and domineering, Emperor Jianping only nodded her nose dotingly, acquiescing to all of them.

The palace people immediately understood that the sky above their heads had changed a long time ago, so let's take care of it and stop being used by others!

Next, Meiren Yao served the emperor with even more dedication, gentleness and consideration, even holding her hand tightly, as if the emperor was a fragile piece of paper, no matter how careful she was, she couldn't be too careful.

The poison on Emperor Jianping's body has been cured, but after all, he is old, and he has really suffered again.But there is no other way, the matter has developed to the present, and there is no way to control it if he, the emperor, does not show up.

He asked Meiren Yao to wait for him to change into a dragon robe, walked to the Golden Luan Hall, looked at his second son who was more respectful than before: "Call everyone up."

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

The civil servants and military generals who were locked in the East Palace were rescued.

The Imperial Palace is very large, and the Eastern Palace is not too close to the Dachao Palace, but who is to say that the Eastern Palace has a detached position?The prince is not soft-hearted, the previous few threats, but he has sacrificed the flag to those who don't listen, and the blood outside the hall has not yet dispersed, and there are long drag marks, the people watching are shocked and chilled.

Going to the front of the hall, seeing Emperor Jianping, everyone was wronged, just like seeing his own father, just one word, crying!

"Your Majesty, I almost lost sight of you..."

"I'm an old bone, how can I meet the late emperor in the future..."

"Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the minister..."

Emperor Jianping was crying so loudly that he had a headache, pressed his forehead, and glared at the prince kneeling in front of the hall with unkind eyes.

The prince is now in a state of embarrassment, his clothes are in disarray, the jade hairpin on his head has disappeared, and one of his shoes has fallen off. He kneels in front of the steps and only knows how to cry, as if he knows that he can't run away, and he doesn't even dare to beg for mercy. .

In contrast, the second prince was quite vigorous and extraordinary, and his performance was called outstanding.

He helped the old censor up with his own hands, smiled and feasted: "Lord Liu, I would rather be a veteran of the three dynasties than talk like that. If you can't bear it anymore, what should we young people do? The future of the imperial court depends on you." Give pointers."

Then he helped up the academician of the Hanlin University, Guozijian Jijiu: "You are the most loyal to the father, and the father has always remembered you. A few days ago, he mentioned to me that you know the appreciation of calligraphy and painting best, and the strokes are especially good. Achievements, ancient books and allusions are unmatched, and the talented people in this world are still waiting for your teaching."

Then he turned to a young general: "Okay, how old are you and you still act like a baby? When I came here just now, I saw you conspired to resist in private. Don't worry, Father will never let a treacherous party go, and he will never ignore any one." Hero."

With his voice, the atmosphere of the hall gradually changed, becoming desolate and distant, solemn and settled.

It was at this time that Huo Yan entered the palace.

Today's matter, he knew what the situation was like by guessing casually, and he was never prepared to stand against anyone, nor did he intend to help anyone, no matter whether it was the prince, the second prince or the emperor, it was the same.He would be willing to bring the reinforcements back with a jade card, because he couldn't bear the suffering of the people in the city.

As long as there is no war or the blood of the people is shed, he doesn't care about whoever sits in the royal family, how to build it.

"The King of Zhenbei has arrived—"

"The King of Zhenbei has arrived—"

"The King of Zhenbei has arrived—"

The singing of the servants spread all the way to the main hall, and the atmosphere was different again, becoming heavy and tense.

Seemingly realizing that this is the boss, all civil servants and generals stopped crying, got up and wiped their faces, straightened their clothes, and stood in two rows, exactly the same as in the previous court.

Huo Yan didn't seem to understand the atmosphere at all, he came in to see you according to the week, and without saying much, he directly held up the jade tablet: "I live up to my mission!"

This action is too obvious, it is to return the things.

He came in without saying anything, and did this first. Emperor Jianping felt a lot in his heart, and the touch was naturally the first. The ministers were also surprised, so...repay?Why don't you take a Joe by the way, raise your value, and wait for the emperor to order something?

While everyone was dumbfounded, the second prince reacted quickly, walked over very sensiblely, took the jade plaque with his own hands, walked up the steps and returned it to Emperor Jianping.

After returning the things, the man did not back down, stood where he was and raised his voice: "It is said that people are separated by belly, and true love is found only in adversity. Although King Zhenbei has been guarding the border of Jiuyuan all the time, and the capital is hard to see, his loyalty to the court It has never changed, regardless of the dangers, to turn the tide, Daxia has such capable ministers to assist, it is the blessing of the country, and it is also the fate of the father-the emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Excited to say it, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, shouting long live.

With his performance, how could others lag behind so much, he immediately lifted his robe and knelt down, and a series of "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live" was heard in the hall.

Huo Yan's eyes drooped, and he also shouted long live.

How could he not see it?The second prince is eloquent and seems to be praising him, but after saying this, everything is not the credit of others, but belongs to the destiny of the emperor, it is the luck of the emperor, everyone should be most fortunate, it is Da Xia There is a king favored by heaven!

But he never cared about these empty-headed things, who he loves, and what he loves, as long as he has a clear conscience and is worthy of his conscience.

"Get up."

As the emperor of the first dynasty, Emperor Jianping, "Ming Jun", after listening to the flattery, he also wanted to act as a corporal. His eyes fell on Huo Yan, his eyes were warm and gentle: "It's my good fortune to have a minister like this. This time, Thanks to King Zhenbei's brave attack, Aiqing has worked hard."

Huo Yan lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes: "I dare not take credit for it! It's all because Your Majesty is wise, entrusting the jade plaque to the minister, so that the minister can send troops back to help!"

Emperor Jianping: "If I say you have merit, you are meritorious. King Zhenbei, you can't be more modest."

Before Huo Yan could reply, Emperor Jianping sighed slightly, and looked at the prince kneeling on the ground: "Looking at the history books, these things are indispensable in all dynasties. When I was young, I was ambitious and quite confident. I felt that others would suffer. I didn’t do well enough, I don’t want to encounter this kind of thing one day—Prince, do you know your mistake?”

The prince's forehead was pressed against the floor tiles, his back was cold, and his palms were sweaty. Now, what else is there to say?

"My son knows my mistake... My son knows my mistake, Father! My son didn't do it on purpose, I never wanted to be disrespectful to my father, and for some reason, my mind became fuzzy, as if I was bewitched by someone... Yes, everything It's someone else who wants to harm my minister on purpose and destroy my Daxia foundation!"

As she talked, she found a reason for herself, and she spoke faster and faster: "It's Concubine You! She was dissatisfied with her father, bewitched her son, poisoned her son, and tried to borrow his hand..."

He said in tears, so pitiful, his whole body was shaking, as if he was extremely afraid.Even so, it was a cut off.

"Prince be careful!"

The second prince came out and cupped his hands at Emperor Jianping: "Father, the elder brother of the prince is probably overly frightened, and he doesn't know what he is talking about. He is disrespectful in front of the palace. He has offended you so much. Please forgive me!"

"You—" The crown prince thought that the second prince deliberately confronted him as before, trembling with anger, why can't he let it go when he is like this!

The second prince squinted at him, with dark eyes: "The imperial concubine is the concubine of my father and concubine. She made a big mistake when she was drunk and was sent to the cold palace. What does it have to do with the prince?"

The prince couldn't hold on immediately, and fell limp to the ground.

That's right, he can blame anyone if he wants to, but Concubine You is not advisable.She is the empress and concubine, why do you insist on getting involved with her?I'm afraid that hat is not big enough or green enough, don't others know?

If you don't push it on Concubine You Gui, who else can you push it on?These things in his hands are too deep and too deep, and he has long been unable to distinguish clearly...

The prince kept silent, lost his mind, the more Emperor Jianping looked at it, the more disappointed he was, he was so stupid, so stupid!

"The crown prince made such a big mistake. His vision was narrow and his country was shaken. It is no longer enough to be the pillar of the country. Starting today, the position of the crown prince will be abolished, and he will be demoted to the prince of the concubine. The three divisions will work together to thoroughly investigate today's affairs. Don't let go. A party member, all those involved in the case will be dealt with according to the law, without exception!"

It is certain that the crown prince will be abolished if the incident fails, but what the emperor means... abolition is not enough, if all the crimes are found out and dealt with according to the law, then there is basically no way out.

The following people are well versed in the subtext of the king, and dare not violate it: "Yes!"

Emperor Jianping really wanted to show more. The time when everything subsides is very critical. Many things need to be consolidated and many things need to be developed. However, his body is not strong enough. He has been tired for so long. Just sitting here is enough willpower...

"The prince's incident happened today. Fortunately, there are all the ministers to help me. I am very relieved. Today's matter will be rewarded for merit after the third division has heard it clearly. I will not let any hero feel disappointed! Well, I am exhausted. , second child, you should reward the meritorious officials on my behalf, and you must not slack off."

"Yes! My son respectfully sends off my father!"

In the palace, if you want to go fast, you can do it very quickly. As long as the higher-ups give orders, the palace servants will run actively. Soon, the blood outside the palace will be cleaned up. A few tables will be placed in the palace, and drinks, vegetables, melons, fruits and snacks will be served immediately. , Even the silk and bamboo celebration music immediately rang in the ears, and the whole hall became harmonious and gentle in an instant, where was the bloody light that was on the verge of swords before?

The prince had already been detained in embarrassment, and the second prince was proud of himself, turning around the palace people, just like the second master of this palace, the contrast was tragic.

Royal... is such a ruthless place.

People's hearts are changeable, but the king of Zhenbei is very different. He is always the same. He doesn't seem to be shy when he is high, and he never gives in when he is low.

The second prince personally brought over two glasses of wine, kept one in his hand, and handed the other to Huo Yan: "Today's first contribution should belong to the lord, and I will toast the lord on behalf of my father! It's done!"

He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, Huo Yan couldn't hold back, so he drank it too.

The second prince smiled: "The battle is over, and the people below will be busy next time, how many more drinks will the prince have?"

Huo Yan refused: "I have a minor injury, so I shouldn't drink alcohol. There are still people at home waiting for me to go back."

The second prince narrowed his eyes: "Your lord, are you losing face?"

"Don't dare," Huo Yan said again, "Although we are winning now, we should not be careless. You need to know that dogs jump over walls and rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. Your Highness should be more careful. I will leave."

The second prince sneered: "Then the prince will go all the way."

If Huo Yan doesn't want to stay, he can just walk away with a hard temper. Others can't. A great victory and celebration is the face of the emperor and the merit of the second prince. If you don't give face, you can leave as soon as you say it.

The hall was full of wine and music, and the cheerful atmosphere could almost be heard along the night wind. Huo Yan couldn't hear it at all, and walked all the way back. For some reason, there was always a faint uneasiness in his heart, thinking that it was too smooth.

But what's wrong?The prince is so stupid, the incident happened too suddenly, according to the trajectory of behavior, it will indeed develop into what it is now, everything is normal, why is he uneasy?

The night wind was slightly astringent, mingling with the blood at the city gate during the day, and slowly, there was a dry and burnt smell... Huo Yan raised his head sharply and saw the flames in the distance.

Today's knowledge is too big and too heavy. After the battle, people are visibly relaxed and drank the celebration wine. No one expected such an accident.Huo Yan didn't want to care about it at all, and really wanted to go home, but the fire...was too difficult to save, so he hesitated for a while.

At this moment, someone stood in front of him and laughed loudly: "Why is the prince leaving in such a hurry, you don't want your sweetheart anymore?"

Still an acquaintance, Zhang Duo, the eldest son of the Zhang family.

Huo Yan ignored him and continued to walk forward. Zhang Duo whistled: "Don't worry, my lord. You will regret this walk. Your people are there. What if they burn to death? ?”

Huo Yan picked up his neck and threw him against the wall: "Shut up for me!"

"Don't, don't," Zhang Duo raised his hands high, indicating that he didn't have any malicious intentions, "I just saw something, and I kindly came here to remind you, the prince doesn't know if what I said is true or not, so you can find someone to go back and ask if you can find out? "

Huo Yan shook off him, and immediately summoned Fan Dachuan.

When Zhang Duo appeared, Fan Dachuan told his bodyguard to go back quickly when Zhang Duo appeared, and he turned back not long after.

Huo Yan didn't notice the urgency in his voice: "Where is Gu Ting? Have you returned home?"

"No," the guard knelt down on one knee, and his voice was a little anxious, "Young master was planning to go back home, but he suddenly thought of something, and turned to the medicinal food shop on the way, saying that he wanted to make soup for you and try a new recipe. But my subordinate went to the medicinal food shop to ask, and the shopkeeper said that the young master had never been there!"

Never been?

Huo Yan felt dizzy: "Say it again!"

"It's the same no matter how many times you say it," Zhang Duo idly clapped his hands aside, "If you delay any longer, that sharp-hearted prince will burn to death."
