Chapter 895 Destroy Friendship

When Yang Xuan returned home, he found that Ning Yayun hadn't come back yet.

"Wuda, take a few guards to have a look."

Yang Xuan was a little worried.

Lin Feibao said: "Even if he is defeated, if Headmaster Ning wants to escape, there is probably no one in the world who can stop him."

"I'm afraid that Chang Sheng has prepared some kind of trap."

Yang Xuan was a little over excited, took a deep breath, and felt that Lin Feibao's analysis was correct.

Sure enough, you can't make an army out of anger, and you can't make a decision out of excitement.

He was a little hungry.

"Crane."

"Hey!"

Jiang He'er came back a long time ago, just finished taking a bath, her hair was wrapped in a handkerchief, she looked a little more cute.

"That's all, the second child is here to light the fire."

Wang Lao Er lit a fire, and Yang Xuan cooked a big pot of stew with mutton and bacon, adding some vegetables.The leftover steamed buns in the afternoon were warmed up a bit, and each person got a bowl of mixed soup, plus steamed buns.

"good to eat!"

Jiang He'er ate deliciously.

Yang Xuan thought it was better than the food in the palace.

"Headmaster!"

Ning Yayun is back.

Yang Xuan went up to meet him, "Are you all right?"

"It tastes good, give me a bowl."

Ning Yayun smiled and said, "It's just a test."

Yang Xuan wanted to cheekily ask what was the test, but it was a little boring to think about it, "How is Chang Sheng's cultivation?"

"I don't know."

Ning Yayun threw the bare pole of Yuwei aside, "In the previous fight, he was very cautious and didn't use his full strength."

Yang Xuan sensed Ning Yayun's regret, and thought why Chang Sheng didn't take advantage of the situation to make a move?

"It is rumored that Chang Sheng's cultivation base is unfathomable. Some people say that he might have peeped into the realm of the gods. The realm of the gods is of course nonsense, but it can also be seen that this person's cultivation base is very good. .”

Ning Yayun took the hodgepodge from the guard, rejected the steamed buns, sniffed them first, and took a mouthful in satisfaction.

He swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "On the way back, the old man has been wondering why he didn't make a move. This is Chang'an, his territory, and dozens of experts from Jianyun Guan are watching the battle behind him. What is he afraid of?"

Yang Xuan didn't know either.

"Maybe, I'm worried about losing!"

Ning Yayun was stunned, then shook her head, "Fang Wairen is after the Dao, as for how much he cultivates and how he wins or loses, they are secondary."

"Maybe what he's after isn't the Dao!" Yang Xuan said casually, just happened to eat a piece of bacon, and it was so salty that he had nothing to say, so he quickly took a bite of the steamed bun to neutralize it.

Unable to guess this question, Ning Yayun asked: "When I came here earlier, I saw that the Jinwu Guards were heavily guarded, and that matter..."

"It's done."

Yang Xuan said.

"it is good!"

After eating supper and washing up, Yang Xuan returned to the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all.

According to Zhao Sanfu, although Qi Xun had no ambitions back then, he was the general of Youqianniuwei anyway, wouldn't it be good to follow the steps?
At that time, Emperor Xiaojing's status was stable, and he took risks with Li Mi and his son, that is, Conglong, and the risks involved were self-evident.

Li Mi took in Qi Xun's niece and daughter, which was a win-win.

But the risks and benefits are not directly proportional to ah!
Whoever it is, will not work hard for an illusory goal.

Li Mi would fool around, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as they respected the emperor and made no mistakes, Li Mi and his son would have no chance at all.

How Li Mi persuaded Qi Xun back then.

Or, there are some unknown factors in it.

With this question in mind, Yang Xuan fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Xuan sent someone to Yuanzhou to bring some ramen for breakfast.

One bowl of ramen per person, plus a piece of Hubing.

The guard who fetched the ramen came back, found Yang Xuan and said, "Master, that person has come again, saying that there is someone waiting for the master in that pastry shop."

Zhao Sanfu!
But urgent?

After Yang Xuan ate breakfast, he took Lin Feibao and others out.

On the street, there were more sergeants of the Jinwu Guard.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

When we arrived at the Hu Bakery, Hu Nu still winked, and Yang Xuan went to the back.

Zhao Sanfu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was eating mustache.Seeing him coming in, he swallowed the food in his mouth first, took a sip of soup, let out a long breath, and said a little tiredly: "I was woken up last night, and I didn't sleep all night. Qi Xun died, and his head was cut off."

"I asked on the way here."

Yang Xuan looked strange, "I'm still thinking about how to slap him again next time I see him."

"Last night, the Jinwu Guard and the Jingtai teamed up and found only a few people ambushing Qi Xun in the alley."

Zhao Sanfu took a bite of the mustache, looking weak.

"Is there no one shouting?" Yang Xuan asked.

"The assassin's cultivation was successful, and Qi Xun's guards were slaughtered almost within ten breaths.

Another assassin engages him, seemingly...

The masters of the mirror stage checked and said that the assassin should not be Qi Xun's opponent, so they used their hidden weapons despicably and blinded Qi Xun's eyes, and then they succeeded. "

hehe!That despicable and shameless assassin you mentioned is me... Yang Xuan sighed: "This is fate."

Zhao Sanfu drank a few sips of the soup, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, "Some people even said that you might have done it."

Yang Xuan gloated and laughed, "I really want to kill him!"

The less you care, the less you will be suspected.

"Wang Shou has said that ambushing Qi Xun is not a small risk, and you will only do it when you are full." Zhao Sanfu put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, "It is said that this matter may have something to do with Yang Lue...that is, honoring the emperor back then. related to the remnants.

The palace is furious, you have to plan for the post of Jiedushi later, be careful! "

Yang Xuan felt warm in his heart, "There is no need to worry about this matter."

Zhao Sanfu stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, "Last night, you didn't know that in order to find the assassin, the whole stage was trying to piece together Qi Xun's experiences over the years.

You really can't imagine that this seemingly upright and awe-inspiring general had an unbearable side back then. "

"Did he come up by bribing the superior?" Yang Xuan laughed.

Zhao Sanfu shook his head, "His official career was difficult back then, do you know why?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, and Zhao Sanfu squeezed the remaining small half-hu biscuit into a lump, "When I respected the emperor as the crown prince, I inspected the army and found many malpractices. Among them, Qi Xun was found drinking blood from soldiers."

Yang Xuan was shocked.

Qi Xun was not severely punished for drinking the blood of soldiers, why?
"Emperor Xuande just fined Qin Xun's salary and scolded him to settle the matter. However, Qi Xun's official career has not been smooth until the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne."

Zhao Sanfu stood up, "I came here to tell you that the palace may be full of thunder and fury in the past few days. What are you planning, be careful and leave."

Zhao Sanfu left in a hurry.

Yang Xuan sat down.

Drinking soldier's blood is a big taboo, after being found out...what would happen to me?It must be to take down Qi Xun, order Jin Yiwei to interrogate, find evidence, and deal with it as he wants, without any hesitation.

But why didn't Emperor Xuande punish Qi Xun severely?

How important is it for Qianniuwei to defend the imperial city and protect the emperor?

Why did Emperor Xuande choose to keep Qi Xun?

By choosing to keep Qi Xun, he gave Emperor Xiao Jing a slap in the face.

Look, the prince inspected the army and found a big problem, but His Majesty raised his hand high and patted it lightly.

You check!

You continue to check!

Let's see who is afraid of whom!

Don't check, you are my grandson!

At the moment of filial piety to the emperor, he must have been stunned. Maybe he would go to see Emperor Xuande and ask why he let Qi Xun go.

But how would Emperor Xuande explain it?
Perhaps, there is no explanation at all.

Hu Nu came in to clean up the dishes, "Do you want some tea, sir?"

Yang Xuan nodded, "Strong tea!"

"How thick?" Hu Nu looked at this heroic man, her eyes became more charming.

"The thicker the better!"

Yang Xuan was a little dizzy and needed strong tea to wake him up.

Hu Nu brought tea later.

A cup of tea is mostly tea leaves.

Hu Nu smiled charmingly, "Is it thick enough?"

Yang Xuan took a sip, the bitter taste stimulated his spirits, "Enough!"

Discovering that Qi Xun drank the blood of the soldiers, he reported... This is a normal procedure. There is nothing wrong with honoring the emperor, which can be called selfless.Otherwise, he just needs to let Qi Xun go quietly, and Qi Xun will be his man from now on.

But Emperor Xuande ignored everything he did.

This is implying that Qi Xun is available!
So the prince's prestige suffered a heavy blow.

When the prince inspected the army, instead of showing some face to the general in the army, he was aggressive, which already made the army dissatisfied.Everyone is waiting for Emperor Xuande's punishment.

In the end, such a big matter was treated as a fart.

While the generals in the army relaxed their minds, their attitude towards the prince changed.

You are nothing more than that!
This is a signal released by the emperor.

I am somewhat dissatisfied with the prince.

Why is Emperor Xuande like this?
Yang Xuan thought for a long time, the more he thought about it, the better his spirit would be.

He drank the last bit of strong tea, wrinkles formed on his bitter face.

After leaving the Hu Bakery, he asked Lin Feibao, "Did you know about honoring the emperor and inspecting the army?"

Lin Feibao shook his head, "At that time, the old man was not the commander of the guards, but he only knew that His Majesty had gone to the army."

That's it!What is Emperor Xuande's attitude? Who should I ask this question?
"After that incident, what is Emperor Xuande's attitude towards honoring the emperor?"

Yang Xuan asked casually, not expecting Lin Feibao to answer.

"Your Majesty didn't look abnormal for a while, but became more resolute. Emperor Xuande's side seems to be the same as usual..."

Lin Feibao thought for a while, "There is an incident. At that time, Emperor Xuande rewarded Li Yuan, who is now the Supreme Emperor!"

Cold to the prince, hot to Li Yuan.

Why?

It was Emperor Xuande's order to honor the emperor and inspect the army.

He was right!
But Emperor Xuande chose to beat him, and even flattered Li Yuan on purpose!

Why?

King Yue and King Wei...Yang Xuan clutched his forehead.

Moaned slightly.

Yes!

beat!

Let the prince lose his prestige in the army.

All of this... is the emperor's instinct!

The prince is wise, but he is upright in his actions. It seems that he will be reused by asking him to inspect the army.But going to inspect the army with such an upright temper will definitely anger those generals who made mistakes.

Emperor Xuande raised his hand and beat them lightly, those generals who made mistakes were like children who made mistakes, they were gently let go by Ye Niang, and while being grateful, they became more and more hostile to the crown prince.

There is only one reason why Emperor Xuande chose to do this!
He is jealous of the prince!
Yang Xuan trembled all over.

In the eyes of the outside world, Emperor Xuande and Empress Wu can be said to love the prince very much, but they are full of praise when they mention the prince.

But who would have imagined that behind this father's kindness and filial piety, there are cold calculations, suspicions, and checks and balances.

For the sake of power, Emperor Xuande chose to suppress the prince without hesitation.

But conniving in the army like this will only plant the seeds of disaster for the future... Emperor Xuande didn't know the result?

He knows.

But he still did it.

What about Emperor Wu?
What did Emperor Wu, who was able to exert influence on Emperor Xuande at that time, do?
Yang Xuan didn't know.

When Li Mi led his troops into the palace, did Emperor Wu ever regret it?
God knows.

Is Emperor Xuande's method of checks and balances?

Do not!
It is betrayal!
The relationship that used to be as close as a father and son in the folk was strangled indifferently by Emperor Xuande.

He betrayed his son and prince!

Yang Xuan said softly, "Power has made so many people lose their friendship!"

Lin Feibao was puzzled, "What did Lang Jun find out?"

Yang Xuan thought of A Liang at this moment, "I was thinking, how not to get lost in the vortex of power."

"Uncle!"

There was someone waiting in front, it was Zhou Zun's aide, Chang Mu.

"Mr. Chang."

Yang Xuan suppressed all kinds of thoughts in his heart, took a deep breath, and recovered his normal emotions.

Chang Mu smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Lang is on the memorial again, and Mr. Jianyan can be the governor of Northern Xinjiang. In addition, the Wang family has also made a move. Together, the two families have a lot of momentum."

Yang Xuan knew that putting this matter on the agenda meant that it was time for him to leave Chang'an.

Although Liu Qing and others are at the helm in Beijiang, he cannot leave for too long.

Slowly, the students from those schools will densely cover the official circles in northern Xinjiang.At that time, Northern Xinjiang will be his unbreakable foundation.

"Jiedushi is not a big problem," Yang Xuan said.

"That's right! If you don't give it, you'll be ashamed." Chang Mu laughed.

"By the way, Uncle, Qi Xun was assassinated and died, Mr. Lang asked you to be careful."

"understood."

The affairs of Jiedushi need a process, and the emperor needs to make a gesture of unwillingness, and then pretend to take the overall situation into consideration...

Why is it so like three pushes and three yields?

Yang Xuan shook his head, thinking of Yang Lue.

With Qi Xun's death, the emperor will temporarily put aside his plan to deal with Yang Lue.

But it could be brought up again at any time.

Therefore, Yang Lue had to be reminded of this matter.

But what is Nan Zhou's attitude?

A pair of beautiful eyes appeared in Yang Xuan's mind.

"Go to someone quietly, find Nian Ziyue, and tell her that I will treat her to tea."

Men drink, women drink tea.

Wei Ling'er is different, she actually likes brothels.

"Yes."

This matter was handled by Pei Jian.

His cultivation was used to sneak into Nian Ziyue's residence, which was a bit overkill.

After entering the backyard, Pei Jian quietly touched the back.

Until I saw Nian Ziyue in the pavilion.

Nian Ziyue was playing the piano, stroking the strings with his jade fingers, and turned his face slightly, looking at his skin like jade, his eyes like the stars in the sky, full of aura.

It really is... disaster!
Pei Jian stomped his feet.

Zhang Jing raised her head abruptly, and Pei Jian said, "The old man asks to see the princess."

Zhang Jing flew over, drew her sword and shouted: "Surround!"

The guards swarmed over.

Pei Jian opened his hands to show harmlessness.

"Who asked you to come?"

Nian Ziyue turned his back and asked.

Pei Jian said: "The old friend of Pingkangfang wanted to invite the princess to drink tea that night."

Pingkang Square that night... Yang Xuan!
"it is good!"

Half an hour later, plainclothes Nian Ziyue appeared in a restaurant wearing a mask.

The restaurant has been booked, and all the shopkeepers are gone.

Yang Xuan sat inside and raised his head upon hearing the sound.

Smiled:
"Not yet married?"

Nian Ziyue walked in, and for some reason, said:

"No one dares to marry!"
