Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 782 I Was The Hostage

Lu Chang'an and Qin Fei were in front, followed by Yang Guogong, Yunhou and Murongtuo. They were sweating profusely from the sun, and they were glaring at Yan Mu angrily.

Yan Mu glanced at it, then lazily leaned back, holding a freshly opened memorial in his hand.

"King Suping, Marquis Yun, and several officials from the Ministry of War strongly recommend General Murong Tuo to take over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing." Yan Mu read the contents of the notebook, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he tilted his head to look at Murong Tuo, "The southern state is employing people. At this time, it turned out that General Murong, as a general, did not want to go to the battlefield to defend his family and the country."

Murong Tuo's face darkened, "The papers sent to the upper study by the cabinet are all sealed with wax, and it is a capital offense for anyone except the Holy One to look through them privately!"

"capital offense?"

Yan Mu frowned, then picked up the pen, made a big cross on the booklet, and threw it in front of Murongtuo.

"General Murong should set off as soon as possible to guard the southern state, don't even think about the camp in the suburbs of Beijing."

"you!"

"Oh, that's right." Yan Mu ignored Murong Tuo and turned to look at Duke Xiangyang, "The fine of 1 taels of silver is because His Highness is sympathetic to your Duke's family. , but it seems that you don't understand His Highness's painstaking efforts, otherwise you will be fined [-] yuan?"

Duke Yang's pupils shrank sharply, "Your Highness Seventh, the Law of Great Glory is not a trifling matter, and you are not the one to make fun of us, the brawny ministers!"

Yan Mu laughed, "Did I tease you?"

Yunhou laughed: "Just now His Highness asked me to wait and expose myself to the hot sun, isn't that called teasing?"

"Obviously you are the ones clamoring that you must see the Holy Majesty, what can your Highness do?"

Yan Mu spread his hands out, this unscrupulous and clumsy look made these few angry.

"Your Highness Seventh!" Lu Changan snorted and narrowed his eyes, "The emperor is not in the palace, is he?"

"Probably." Yan Mu said.

"I suspect that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince held the emperor hostage, hid him, monopolized the government, ruled out dissidents, and suspected treason."

"King Suping is right. His Highness the Seventh Prince intends to rebel. We will surely capture you when we break through your trick today." Qin Fei said with sharp eyes.

"Holding the emperor? Intended to rebel?" Yan Mu rolled his eyes, as if he had heard a big joke, then he lifted the corner of his clothes to show his feet, and held it up for them to see, "Nuo, open your dog ... Cough cough, open your eyes wide and see, can His Highness rebel like this?"

There were iron chains around Yan Mu's ankles, locking his feet.

"Still holding the emperor hostage? Your brains are broken, are you talking nonsense with your eyes open?"

"Don't you guys want to capture His Highness, take it quickly, His Highness has been stuck in this room for half a month, and I want to go out to breathe a long time ago. Put me in the sky prison, I like that place, at least you don't have to look at it like this Too many memorials are too eye-catching."

At this moment, Lu Changan and the others were a little confused. After a long silence, they all looked at Shangguanxu who was at the side.

Shangguan Xu let out a long sigh and said, "The emperor has left the palace."

"The emperor left the palace?" Lu Changan frowned, "Where did the emperor go?"

Shangguan Xu shook his head, "I don't know."

"Why did the emperor leave the palace?"

"I don't know."

"Do you have a guard with you?"

"I don't know."

Yang Guogong was a little impatient and shouted, "Then what do you know?"

Shangguan Xu lowered his eyes, "The emperor only asked the servant to take care of His Highness the Seventh Prince, and at the same time let him handle the government affairs on his behalf, but if he has a slight dissent." Shangguan Xu pointed to the Shangfang sword hanging on the west wall, and made a decision. Finally, a word popped out coldly: "Kill!"

With this word, Yan Mu shrank his neck.

"So you see, I am the one being held hostage."

Lu Chang'an and Qin Fei glanced at each other, and the smart ones put away their posture.

"This king also broke in because he cared about the emperor." Lu Changan said lightly.

"Yeah, thanks to our discovery, the most important thing right now is to find the emperor as soon as possible, and I will definitely do my part." Qin Feishi said.

Lu Changan nodded, "Then there is King Lao Anqing, and the fact that the emperor is not in the palace needs to be kept secret, and the news must not be leaked, let alone other ministers, so as not to cause chaos in the court."

"It's King Suping's consideration."

The two gave each other the steps, and then looked at Yan Mu together.

Yan Mu was leaning on the Arhat bed, and was already reading the next memorial in a leisurely manner.

"When the emperor deals with important state affairs, he will discuss with all the officials, and His Highness the Seventh Highness is indeed arbitrary in reviewing the memorials. Is this inappropriate?" Lu Changan said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Yan Mu paused when he picked up the pen, then twitched the corner of his mouth, folded the memorial in his hand, and threw it in front of Lu Changan.

"Anyway, His Highness is tired of it, otherwise King Suping will review it in the future."

Lu Changan lowered his head, and the memorial unfolded. It was originally the memorial presented by him after discussing with Marquis Yun. This memorial was the many acts of disrupting military discipline of the Northern Army controlled by Shen Yanmu. heart of.

What they wanted was to take advantage of Yan Mu's deep involvement in Yang He's corruption case and in a passive situation, to deprive him of the military power in his hands.

"King Suping, why don't I give you the military power of the Northern Army?"

"Your Highness Seventh, I'm just discussing the matter."

"It seems that King Suping's ambition is not small. After taking away the military power of this king, the next step is to seek the throne, right?"

"His Royal Highness..."

"Eh?" Yan Mu turned his head to look at Shangguan Xu, "The emperor issued an order that if this king has the intention of treason, he will let you kill him, but what if other people have the intention of treason?"

Shangguan Xu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Your Highness Seven can kill, let alone others."

"Then shred the corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

"As His Royal Highness the Seventh is happy."

This is like saying, as long as Yan Mu thinks that whoever wants to rebel, he can use this Shangfang sword to kill first and then report.

Lu Changan was so smart, he knew that head-on confrontation would not lead to good results, so he stopped talking right away.And Qin Feishi glanced at Shangguanxu, the emperor was not in the palace, he didn't tell him, and he was still singing with Yan Mu at this time, he was not stupid, he knew that Shangguanxu would not fight him right now.

The two parties thought about it, and retreated one after another.

"Your Highness Seventh, what should we do now?" Shangguan Xu picked up the memorial from the ground and put it on the case in front of Yan Mu.

"Us?" Yan Mu raised his eyebrows.

Shangguan Xu sighed helplessly, "Right now, you and I are indeed grasshoppers on the same rope. If we don't unite, we may have to cook together."

Yan Mu snorted, "Since they know that the emperor is not in the palace, they will definitely send a large number of people to find him. What we can do is to find him earlier than they do."

Shangguan Xu was silent for a while, and said: "However, why does the emperor leave the palace suddenly, His Highness the Seventh Prince doesn't know at all?"

"do not know."

"really?"

Yan Mu rolled his eyes, "Look, you don't trust me at all. I also don't trust you. It's because you hid the emperor and plotted against him!"

Shangguan Xu let out a long sigh, "If something happens to the emperor, neither of us will be able to run away, so it's better not to stab each other."
