The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 83: Canadian Yuan Fu Wants to Assassinate the Prince
"Look, it's a big battle." The roadside vendors who were rushing to the morning market stopped to watch.

In the early morning of the next day, on Zhuque Street in the middle of Yecheng, a group of special envoys from the imperial city wore gorgeous official uniforms. They saw the team's brightly decorated ceremonial guards. Jade biscuits, tiger skins, etc., followed closely by the dragon dragon in the palace, and the guards were all dressed in fine clothes.

A person beside the road whispered: "Looking at the situation, I don't know which prince's grand ceremony it is."

"It's an eventful time now, and there is no peace in the four regions of our country of Zhao. Do you know that? The country of Yan has already invaded Jicheng." A person echoed from the side.

A man wearing a crown who looked of a certain rank interjected: "No, no, at this time, because of gathering people's hearts, you have heard about the changes in the Ye Palace a few days ago, Shi Jian and Ran Mindun There is a suspicion, if it wasn't for Ran Min taking care of the overall situation, the city of Ye would have changed a long time ago."

Everyone chattered and said: "So, my emperor must have prepared this grand ceremony for Ran Min, but Ran Min is just the late emperor's foster grandson, so it's okay?"

"How about raising a grandson? Without Ran Min, Zhao Guo would have been swallowed by enemies from all directions..."

"Scatter, scatter, the special envoy of the palace, the idlers, etc. avoid." While speaking, the leader Lubo was dispersing the crowd, and the sergeants raced to clear the way, shielding the idlers and others beside him.

The prince canonized grandly arrived at the mansion of General Ran Min.

The special envoy got off the four-horse cart with the imperial decree in one hand, walked slowly to the doorman of the general's mansion and said: "This envoy is ordered by my emperor to come here to give the general an order, and you will inform the general as soon as possible."

The disciples knew that this was a serious matter, so they hurriedly asked the special envoy to wait a moment, and then hurried to the mansion.

At this time, Ran Minfang was about to change his clothes, but he had heard the noise outside, and was about to ask a question while being suspicious, only to see Jiang Gan hurried in and said to Ran Min: "General, there is a special envoy of Emperor Zhao outside the gate of the house, please hurry up." Receive the order?"

Ran Min only picked up a warm towel from the servant's hand, wiped his face and said, "Now the battle is urgent, if Shi Jian wants to lure me into the palace for a negotiation, he will send someone, why is there such a big battle. Besides... ..."

Jiang Gan went up and said with a smile: "General, looking at the situation, it is a grand ceremony for Canadian dollars. Shi Jian should recognize the situation clearly after this battle. Zhao Guowu's general should be a fish in this troubled world. Everyone deserves it." Eat it." Jiang Gan took advantage of the situation and cupped his hands in congratulations, "My minister congratulates the general for welcoming the crown prince to Jin."

Hearing this, Ran Min was stunned for a moment, with no expression on his face, he just said: "People in the mansion, follow me to welcome the special envoy from the palace."

"General, drive here." The front doorman of the general's mansion only raised his voice.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general," the envoy couldn't help but ask someone to present the gift in front of the general's mansion, and he saw that the shape was extraordinary, including jade walls, jade huang, and silk.After the envoy unfolded all the items, he immediately turned around and ordered someone to forward the items behind him, "His Royal Highness!"

This sound hit everyone's heart directly, and after everyone hesitated for a moment, the special envoy hurriedly pointed to the items on the tray and said with a little pride: "Prince, please look, this far-flung crown, crimson gauze robe, gold medal and purple ribbon are made by the Crown Prince. Today, the great general has made great achievements, and the whole country depends on the great general. The general is also my Shi clan's relatives. There is no other place where the Shi clan's prestige is higher than that of the general. Your Majesty said that the position of the crown prince must belong to the general. "

Jiang Gan beside him hurriedly stepped forward to receive the gift from the special envoy.The special envoy continued: "Since ancient times, the crown prince has been appointed to proclaim his orders in the Xuanxuan, go up to the ancestral temple, go down to worship with all the officials, and move to the East Palace. There are so many different people.”

While everyone was talking, the envoy said impressively: "The general accepts the order."

I saw him unfolding slowly, proclaiming: "The general of Zhao Guo, Wang Min of Wude, when the country is overturned, he will help the Yishi family, bring chaos to the world, and his virtue will spread all over the world. Prince."

Ran Min led the crowd to kneel to greet him and said: "I will take the order to thank you." Ran Min wanted to stand up to receive the order, but the envoy said: "General, according to your Majesty's order, a canonization ceremony will be held in Taiwu Hall on the [-]th of this month. Tell the people all over the world that the crown prince of Great Zhao has been appointed, and the monarch and ministers are of one mind."

Ran Min respectfully raised his hands to take it, and slowly got up.The special envoy was about to leave, but Ran Min suddenly said: "Your envoy, please tell your majesty that the world is in chaos and the treasury is empty. If the canonization is carried out again, the people may be filled with resentment."

"This..." To make the face full of doubts

Ran Min only said coldly: "I still hope that the noble envoy will report."

"That's the case..." The special envoy couldn't refuse.

"Wait a minute!" Wang Tai, who was at the side, stopped the envoy from the palace, turned around and said to Ran Min, "General, Shi Jian's envoy of the crown prince Jiayuan to serve is to test the general. Now that a big event is about to happen, the general will take over the power."

Jiang Gan also said: "Although the important matter of the Crown Prince Jiayuan serving the country is suspected of extravagance, it has been done since ancient times. I hope the general accepts it."

At this time, Shi Yin was beside him, and his father looked back, only to see him bow deeply, and made a big gift to his father.He just said, "Congratulations, father."

Ran Min only breathed a long sigh of relief, but he did not see the color of joy, and said: "My minister, Ran Min, takes the order to thank you."

The envoy also breathed a sigh of relief, and also wanted to hand over the errand, he just said: "His Royal Highness, the envoy will return the order, and said that His Royal Highness thanked the emperor for his compassion, and he will definitely live up to your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Ran Min and the others bowed and said, "Congratulations to the envoy."

Yecheng Imperial Palace
After Shi Bao's change last time, Shi Jian and Yang Huan, the master and servant, were even more cautious, for fear that Ran Min would catch them, so that they would have an excuse to catch them all.At this time, Shi Jian also declined the summons from other people and foreign ministers, and hid in the deep palace. Except for his own companions, other people could never get close to him.

Shi Jian was in the Jiaofang Hall, surrounded by clouds and mist, and since the last change, the figure of Ran Min on the imperial steps appeared in front of him from time to time at night, causing Shi Jian to wake up from sleep every now and then.Suffering from a windy head, he was recuperating on a steamy couch behind heavy curtains.

Suddenly there was a rush of pace outside, and it was Yang Huan running over in a panic from outside the hall.

Shi Jian suddenly woke up.

Shi Jian only said in a panic: "Who is coming, I have no such intentions, don't..."

The servant on the side hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's Manager Yang."

Shi Jianqiang cheered up, "Oh, it's him, hurry up and announce."

Yang Huan only walked into the inner room and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy who went to the Ran Min Mansion to announce the decree has returned."

"But, Ran Min, did you agree?" Shi Jian asked in a low voice.

Yang Huan only gave one look, motioned to the left and right to step back, stepped forward and said, "Ran Min has already agreed to become the crown prince."

Shi Jian's face turned bloody, and he said happily: "Okay, okay." Shi Jian then opened his eyes and asked, "What about the ambush?"

Yang Huan Chengzhu said in his heart: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. Our army of Zhao Guo Youji has always been brave. This is the elite left by the late emperor. It will shock and invincible all sides."

"Youji's Army?" Shi Jian only had some doubts, "Then, Murong Yan's going south, isn't it the opening of the country's gate?"

Yang Huan just quickly argued: "Yan Kingdom has a new national funeral, and the Tuhe guard in the south of it, Murong Ba, has always been at odds with Lord Yan. I, Zhao Kingdom, have no doubts for the time being."

Shi Jianlue thought: "Ran Min mentioned this to me last time, but it is a hidden worry after all."

Yang Huan only said in a straight voice: "Run Min is in great danger to Zhao Guo, and the rest are just long-term considerations. There is no other way to get rid of this big beetle and the country will be safe."

Shi Jian stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Since Director Yang said so, no matter what, I entrust everything to you."

Immediately, Shi Jian ordered people to move to sleep on the Tongque Terrace. To prevent accidents, there were no maidservants or concubines around him.

After serving Shi Jian, Yang Huan went to sleep, and was leaving the high platform to walk along a corridor, when he heard the sound of "up", he was knocked out, put on a sack and carried out of the palace.

"Um, ah, snap" approaching a hidden place, the person in the sack began to struggle, "Let me go, let me go."

The sergeant at the side kicked the sack, and seeing that it was no longer moving, he untied the rope that tied the mouth of the bag. When the mouth of the bag was about to be opened, Yang Huan jumped up, put a dagger on the man's neck, and hurriedly Shouted: "Whoever wants to harm me, whoever wants to harm me."

Yang Huan stayed in the sack for a long time, and the candlelight outside squinted his eyes. Before Yang Huan could react, one of them kicked up and kicked Yang Huan's body to the ground.

Yang Huan got up slowly, only trembling on the ground.

"Director Yang, long time no see." A long voice sounded.

Yang Huan only raised his head slowly, and took a closer look. It turned out that it was Shi Cheng, the leader of the Central Committee, Shi Qi, the servant of the Central Committee, and Shi Hui, the former governor of Hedong who was idle in the capital. There is nothing wrong with Huan, but what he did today is very strange.

Yang Huan patted the dust on his body and said: "My lords, Yang Huan is an eunuch. He has no grudges with you in the past, and he has no enmity today. If there is any offence, I hope you will forgive me."

Suddenly Yang Huan was kicked violently on the knee, and he fell to his knees. The person next to him scolded: "Good eunuch, treacherous villain, causing trouble in the inner court. Gouquan yourself, betraying Shibao, your evil deeds Not much?"

Yang Huan didn't dare to turn his head back, and only cried out: "The strong man spared his life, but this old slave has no choice but to do it. At this moment, in order to protect His Majesty, he can only sacrifice Shi Bao, Li Song, Zhang Cai and the other three. In order to preserve the state of Zhao and the country, I hope that the strong men will observe clearly."

A person next to him only said: "My lord, this person is so eloquent, and the matter came to an end just for the sake of Gou's full name. I will kill this eunuch to sacrifice the flag to the three righteous men."

Yang Huan only said anxiously: "The strong man spares his life, what I said is true, I am just a servant, one has no military power, and the other has no food and salary. All I can rely on is Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, Yang Huan would not be here today. "

"My lord, keep people under the sword." At this moment, Sun Fudu rushed over.

"General Long Xiang, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree, don't see each other again before the incident." Shi Cheng looked at Sun Fudu and stared at Yang Huan firmly, and said carelessly, "Could it be that the general came here for this eunuch. "

"Exactly, although Director Yang has done it before, it would be difficult to do this without the power of Director Yang. Today, our army in Youzhou is hiding in Hu Tian Temple. This place is originally the concubine Leng in the palace. , the place where sinners were relegated, I heard that a few days ago someone suddenly ordered someone to clear this place, and there were no soldiers around, after investigation, it was verified that it was the work of Yang Huan."

"Really?" Shi Cheng asked suspiciously.

Seeing this, Shi Qi winked to the left and right, and the others retreated, leaving only Sun Fudu, Shi Qi, Shi Cheng, Shi Hui, Yang Huan and others in the room.

Shi Cheng hurriedly bowed his body to pay tribute, and untied Yang Huan himself, apologizing: "Servant Yang, it's hard work serving His Majesty."

Yang Huan only said anxiously: "The old slave's work is hard work."

"Servant Yang, there is a change in the middle today. We want to protect His Majesty, and I hope Yang Huan will tell me where His Majesty is?"

Yang Huan now knew that they had no intention of killing, so he just patted the dust off his body and said, "Your Majesty's current whereabouts are uncertain, it's all because of his whim."

"Huh?" Shi Qi made a disdainful voice.

Seeing this, Shi Hui put the knife on Yang Huan's neck, "I don't think this Yang Huan is honest, he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to catch fish."

Yang Huan instantly softened, and hurriedly said: "Yes, but Your Majesty will go to bed, and I will arrange for the concubine to be lucky. The old servant in the palace still knows where Your Majesty sleeps."

"Since that's the case, I have Lao Yang's servant."

Sun Fudu said: "Holding His Majesty is half of the matter. The most important key to the current plan is Ran Min. However, there are guards around Ran Min who will follow him. It is really not easy."

"Haha," Yang Huan just laughed, "Everyone, what's going on will be clear in just a few days."

Sun Fudu jokingly said, "Boss Yang is talking nonsense."

"If it was a few days ago, this old slave would not be sure, but today, Ran Min has accepted His Majesty's call, and will hold a grand ceremony to enshrine the crown prince in a few days." Yang Huan looked at the crowd, and only bowed slightly, "I'm not here. , the internal affairs of the palace are all handled by the old slave.”

Sun Fudu greeted him, and said happily: "If this is the case, the big thing will be settled."
