The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 139
Ruan Peng shook his head and smiled, "Where did Prince Duan say that, as long as you don't spread the matter to the outside world, the general and all the officials of Qu Yue will be very grateful. How dare you put a golden branch and jade leaf like you under house arrest?"

Li Huan, who had been silent all this time, walked over quickly at this moment.He already suspected that Duan Siming's visit was not a good one, but just now seeing him and Wan Jianfeng chatting passionately in private, he already expected that Duan Siming's sudden visit must have something to do with Wan Jianfeng.Before his reputation is restored, he must not let Wan Jianfeng be taken out of Qu Yue by Duan Siming alive.So he took a step forward and said to Wan Jianfeng: "Young man Wan, it's not suitable for you to stay here for a long time due to the sudden changes in the country. From tomorrow onwards, we will leave Hualu temporarily and go about our business."

Wan Jianfeng raised the jug, took a few swigs from mouth to mouth, and then looked at Li Huan with drunken eyes, "General Li, you are a majestic general of ten ranks, and I'm just a little beggar. What could be the matter? You want me to roast the Saizhouzi for you and bury that dead eunuch, you won’t let me teach you how to beg for food, will you? Speaking of begging for food..."

Seeing that Wan Jianfeng wanted to play tricks, Li Huan immediately opened his eyes wide.But it was inconvenient for him to speak out in front of Ruan Gen, so he couldn't help feeling angry.But thinking about it again, he comforted himself and said: "This scoundrel must have drunk too much just now. How can I get angry with a drunk, and if it spreads to others, it won't become a laughing stock? Forget it! This general will not be with him for the time being." If you care about me, I won't be called Li Huan until I'm done with you and me!"

Ruan Gen didn't know what Li Huan was planning, he looked at him resolutely, and said: "General Li, as the leader of the generals, how can you leave the capital casually when the country is in crisis? If you leave, who Come join me in mourning the late emperor and support the new emperor together? What could be greater than these two things! I don’t care, I will never let you go before these two major events are completed!"

Although Li Huan was the head of Qu Yue's generals, Ruan Gen had a lot of experience and was very prestigious in the court, and everything he said was reasonable, and there was no room for him to refute.He was like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, afraid that before he ascended the throne, those rumors would spread to Hua Lu, and all his efforts would be in vain.When he thought of this, he wanted to cut off Wan Jianfeng's neck to relieve the hatred in his heart.But he still tried his best to maintain a calm face, and said: "What the Duke said is very true, just now the general didn't think carefully, and almost made a big mistake."

Wan Jianfeng snickered when he heard the words, "Haha, Li Huan, it's all right now! As long as you can't take this young hero away within a few days, this young hero can not only save his life, but also send you off." Go to see Master Yan Wang. As long as you die, Hou Renbao will definitely wipe out Qu Yue and that evil Chaos Sect. Li Huan! On the head, you are unlucky in this life!"

The next day, early in the morning.

The newborn sun shines into the Quyue Palace, and all the officials in the hall are all dressed up, waiting for the new emperor to go to court early.The sun shone on the face of the little emperor sitting upright in the middle of the hall, making it hard for him to keep his eyes open.There is no wisdom and arrogance in the brows of this little emperor, only weakness and helplessness. It is Ding Xuan, the youngest son of Ding Buling who is only six years old.

Ding Xuan looked at the officials in the hall, with infinite fear in his eyes.At such a young age, he couldn't tell who was a loyal minister and who was a treacherous minister. He only knew that there was no one he knew well in the hall, and anyone could hurt him.He held his little hand tightly, his eyes were about to shed tears with fear, and he couldn't say a word.

Ruan Ben looked at Ding Xuan on the dragon chair, and said helplessly: "Oh, that damned Du Shi must have been sent by the second prince to claim his life, otherwise why killing the first emperor would not be enough, but also mutilate the first prince. The Eldest Prince is still here, so how could we support such a young son as the emperor. I hope Song, Liao and other countries will not take advantage of the opportunity to invade, and the important officials in the court will not take advantage of the situation to make trouble, otherwise I, Qu Yue, will not be far from being destroyed!"

However, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Huan's mouth, and he led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to bow three times and kowtow nine times. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you are still young and don't know much about government affairs. Therefore, I boldly suggest that the officials stay in Manchuria for the time being." Choose one of the civil and military officials of the court to serve as the deputy king to assist His Majesty in handling state affairs, so that His Majesty can get familiar with the government affairs of the court as soon as possible, stabilize the world as soon as possible, and appease the common people."

Ding Xuan opened his big round eyes, looked at Li Huan for a long time, and asked in a daze: "This... this Qing family, what do you mean by this? I don't understand , can you explain it to me?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, what the last general means is that in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, choose a minister you trust to be the deputy king. In this way, you only need to give orders to him, and you can control the entire court." Tang, wouldn't it be much simpler?"

Ding Xuan blinked her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded vigorously, "Well, this Qing family, what you said makes sense, then I will make you the deputy king. I don't want to come here again, and I will be here every day. You go back and forth to see the officials for me, there are too many people here, I... I am very scared..."

Li Huan hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the last general will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations, and will definitely govern Quyue Kingdom for His Majesty so that the soldiers and horses are strong, the country is rich and the people are strong. When Your Majesty wants to govern personally, the last general will come again Return the power to His Majesty, and never dare to be arrogant and arrogant, calling yourself the emperor."

Seeing this, Ruan Gen suddenly understood everything. He couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, pointed at Li Huan and shouted: "Li Huan, how can you dare to bully His Majesty when he is young and let him make you Vice King? This Qu The world of Yue was brought down by me, the late emperor and the eldest prince together, even if His Majesty wanted to seal it, it would not be your turn, a junior like you!"

Li Huan turned his head to look at Ruan Gen, and said in a clear voice: "Mr. Ding, you don't want to rely on your elders in front of this general. I am just advising His Majesty to entrust you with being a vice king. I did not bully you, and I did not deceive you. Why did you say that?" Also, are you trying to force His Majesty to hand over power to you? Although I, Li Huan, am not talented, I also made great achievements during the Twelve Envoys Rebellion. If you dare to disobey Your Majesty Heart, I will definitely kill you for His Majesty!" Although he was still kneeling on the ground at this time, his aura had far surpassed that of Ruan Gen who was standing beside him, and he seemed to be denouncing traitors.

Ruan Peng was stiffened by Li Huan's words, and immediately knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, this old minister never intends to force you to hand over power by relying on the old. The old minister is just afraid that His Majesty will be deceived by others and ruin my good fortune for Qu Yue in vain." Jiangshan!"

Ding Xuan was already trembling with nervousness, but he was relieved after hearing Li Huan's words, now seeing Li Huan and Ruan Gen confronting each other, quarreling fiercely, his legs trembled with fright, and he burst into tears.When the ministers saw that the majestic king of a country, in the Qingping and prosperous times, cried loudly in the court just because the ministers quarreled, they couldn't help but look sideways.Only Li Huan knelt and crawled in front of Ding Xuan, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and gently wiped away his tears.

"Li...Li Qing's family, I think that you are the only one who is the leader of the country in the civil and military affairs of the court. I leave this court to you. If there is anything, you can just decide for me..." Ding Xuan sobbed and said this sentence , ran to the harem without looking back.

"Decree of the last general!" Li Huan said loudly, then stood up slowly, and said: "Mr. Ding, you have just despised His Majesty with your words. You should have wiped out the nine clans, but it is because of your loyalty to follow the late emperor for many years. Come on, this general orders you to leave Hualu immediately and lead troops to guard Guluo City, I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty again."
