Chapter 377 The conspiracy begins (please vote for me)

The queen pursed her lips and avoided his gaze.

When she turned around, she realized that the Pei family had walked away at some point, and there were only three of them left in the yard.

She sighed, stepped out of the carriage, pointed into the courtyard and said, "Since you're here, let's go into the house and talk."

Fu Zhen, who was outside the wall on the other side, watched the family of three enter the hall. After retracting his gaze, he also glanced at Pei Yu, his wife and Pei Zhan beside him.

No one spoke for a while.

Finally, with a wink, everyone got into their carriages and sat quietly to wait.

After all, the three most important people in Dazhou are all in the courtyard, how can we allow any mistakes?
The moon rose from the east and illuminated the earth. Occasionally, a few dogs barked and cats meowed in the distance. Gradually, the sounds became sparse, and finally fell silent. Only occasionally could there be a sound of wind.

At this moment, inside the house, guards and palace servants were standing all over the courtyard. The lights in the lantern hall were bright, shining brightly on the emperor's eyes.

This king, who had been suffering from illness for many years, seemed to have recovered his infinite vitality at this moment. He stood upright in the middle of the room, looking at Yang Yi in front of him for a long time.

"...The whole thing is like this," the queen's slow voice floated in the room. The story was too long, and her voice became hoarse as she told it. "If the third child's lie had not been exposed, Yi'er and I would not have met each other. Above, let alone you!
"I just came to see my son, and I was just trying my last bit to protect my ill-fated son. I think this has nothing to do with you."

"How come it has nothing to do with me?" the emperor blurted out, his voice sonorous and powerful, "He is also my son! He is my eldest son!"

"No more!" Yang Yi continued what he said, "Since you released me as bait in Huzhou twenty-four years ago, you and I are no longer father and son!"

The emperor's throat tightened: "You hate me?"

"Of course I hate you!" Yang Yi made no secret. Ever since he returned to the capital and showed up, he has always been calm and restrained. He has never lost his composure. But at this moment, all his emotions burst out. "How could I not hate you?
"If you were not my father, you were just a general, a leader of the rebel army, and a king. If you treated me like this, I would still let go.

"But you are the father whom I have loved and respected since I can remember. I regard you as my heaven and my role model. I move towards you all the time, but in the end, you pushed me out like a chess piece without saying a word!
"If you hadn't done this, I wouldn't have been captured and imprisoned by the Dayue people. My lifelong ambition is to be an upright man and seek welfare for the people of my country!
"I never thought that one day I would become such a useless prisoner! I am not afraid of suffering, but I never thought that I would suffer such humiliation!

"If you were not my father, even if I hated you, I would forgive you for the sake of all the people in the world, but you are still saying that I am your son!

"How can I be your son again? I can still let my surname be Yang, and still use the name Yang Yi, for the sake of my mother!"

The emperor bit his lower lip and looked at him, speechless.

The sound reached outside the door, and the guards and palace attendants all over the courtyard held their breaths and did not dare to let out their breath.

Before following the emperor out of the palace, no one thought that they would see their eldest son here who had been missing for more than 24 years. The joy of succeeding to the throne and the fear of facing the conflict between the emperor and his son hit each other at the same time. All tugged at the heartstrings.

Every word Yang Yi wrote was full of grievances and resentment, but this was a son's resentment against his father, which had been accumulated for more than twenty-four years. Perhaps this accusation was considered mild.

I don't know how long it took before the emperor slowly said: "It's my father who can't help you."

"No need." Yang Yi's eyes turned red, "Is there any use in saying this? If you could have told me in advance, wouldn't I have disagreed?
"Why did you treat me like that? You made me feel like I was not your son at all, but just your tool.

“You don’t need to ask for any advice from me, as long as you use it smoothly, you can push me up.

"Today you have the opportunity to say sorry to me, it's just because I have a fatal fate. I have experienced many dangers over the years. In the five years of Otsuki alone, I suffered no less than five lives. danger.

"I just didn't want to die in a foreign country. I thought I had to crawl back to Dazhou even if I had to crawl. It was only after I held in my breath that I finally came back.

"And just a few days ago, the remnants of Da Yue's country's destruction tracked me to the capital, trying to prevent me from meeting my mother and preventing me from delivering news to the Great Zhou court.

"If you had no choice but to do that in Huzhou, then every time after that, you were never by my side."

"However, the battle in Huzhou was indeed crucial! If we had lost that time, there would not be the Great Zhou Dynasty we have now. It is not known whether you and I can still live in the world!"

"I know it's crucial," Yang Yi looked at him through the light, "So the key to winning this battle is to send me to the altar."

The two words "altar" were like two knives, stabbing straight into the emperor's heart. He suddenly took two steps back and his body stooped down.

The queen stood up and opened her mouth to say something, but she pressed her lips tightly.

She closed her eyes in pain, tears falling down the corners of her eyes, and then turned into sobs.

"If you must think so, I won't explain it." The emperor straightened his body again and said slowly: "But you are my son, the eldest son of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, and this cannot be changed!
"You must go back with me. You must take over the throne and be my crown prince and the new emperor of Great Zhou!"

"Impossible!" Yang Yi flatly rejected him, "I will never follow you back to the palace. Everything about you has nothing to do with me, and I will never mess with it!"

"you dare!"

"If you force me, I will leave the capital immediately!" Yang Yi took a deep breath, "I will treat this as this trip and never come back."

"you!……"

"Okay!" The queen saw this and stopped the emperor, "He has been hiding from us for more than twenty-four years, which is enough to show his firmness. Do you have to force him away? Do you really want to never see it again? Did he?"

The emperor paused, gritted his teeth, and swallowed the rest of the words deeply back in his throat.

With tears in her eyes, the queen looked at Yang Yi again: "Take back what you said. You are a man. You promised me something and you will never go back on it!"

Yang Yi gritted his teeth and remained motionless.

The Queen patted his arm: "Did you hear that?!"

Yang Yi lowered his head, glanced at her, and said in a low voice: "I understand."

"Go back to the palace!"

The queen looked out the door, "It's time to go back."

After saying that, she stepped out of the threshold and walked into the yard.

The emperor calmed down and said, "Don't you dare disturb me." He looked at Yang Yi deeply for a while and then walked out.

When he reached the eaves of the corridor, he stopped and looked back, and there was water in his eyes.

However, this short distance is also separated by an unbridgeable gap. The old people are unable to cross it, and the young people have no intention to cross it.

Fu Zhen saw the emperor and empress coming out of the carriage, and quickly woke up Pei Zhan from his nap and got out of the carriage.

Over there, Pei Zhan and his wife also came down.

"We have returned to the palace." The queen said to them, "Yier, please worry about it. In addition, the battle in the northwest will continue as usual." Fu Zhen and Pei Zhan looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Originally, they wanted to ask about the outcome of this meeting, but seeing the emperor's expression, they knew that the outcome would be as expected, and there was no need to ask any more.

The emperor brought enough guards, so Pei Yu still escorted them for a while. He didn't turn back until he saw them entering the palace gate.

As for the Yang family, Pei Zhan and Fu Zhen walked in to say goodbye to Yang Yi. They saw that Yang Yi was slumped, so he said no more and left silently.

No one spoke on the way back home.

The emperor's appearance was really unexpected by everyone. No one expected that he would find clues at this juncture and follow him, but the meeting between father and son seemed to be expected.

How can it be so easy to get rid of a diaphragm that has lasted for decades?
But the knot is already here, and we can only take one step at a time.

……

What happened that night was never spread except for Mrs. Ning's knowledge.

There was no movement in the palace for the next two days, and Pei Zhan and the others waited quietly in the palace to watch what happened.

The couple were drinking tea in the garden when Liang Zhi suddenly burst in from outside like a gust of wind: "Lao Wu! Did you lie to me again! Who is that Mr. Yang? Is he the eldest prince?! "

Following his shouts, there were a group of people behind him, including Liang Chencheng, Su Xing'er, and the others. They all had shocked looks on their faces and didn't know where they came from.

Fu Zhen and the others stood up: "What are you talking about?"

"What nonsense? I heard it just now! Just now in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was summoning the Minister of Rites. He said that the appointment of the crown prince will be postponed later. He also said that the emperor's eldest son is still alive, so the throne must be inherited by the emperor's eldest son!"

Fuzhen and Pei Zhan looked at each other, not expecting the emperor to make a decision so quickly. But it makes sense. After the queen revealed everything that happened that night, there was nothing left to hide.

King Yan was not a member of the royal family in the first place, and he was stained. He was definitely not qualified to be a prince.

Then besides Yang Yi, who else in the whole court can take over the throne?

"Then how did you guess Mr. Yang?" Fu Zhen looked at them curiously.

Su Xing'er rushed to speak and said: "I heard what the second brother said. The second brother went to the palace to meet the saint and happened to hear this part.

"Then he came back and told us in a hurry, and we guessed Mr. Yang. I heard that he was still very similar to the emperor when he was young!"

Now it was undeniable.

Fu Zhen looked at them, nodded and said: "Mr. Yang is indeed the eldest son of the emperor, but we cannot reveal it to you without his permission.

"Now that you know it, you should be more careful with your words..."

"Great!" Before he could finish his words, Cheng Chili jumped up and gave a high-five, "This is a gratifying and congratulatory thing! There is a successor to the Zhou royal family, so you don't have to worry about the future!

"Based on Mr. Yang's body and physique, he will definitely be able to give birth to five, six, seven or eight royal grandchildren!"

Infected by his excitement, the faces of the others also showed a look of joy.

Liang Chen said: "That makes me relieved. We have never seen the emperor when he was young, and we couldn't see the clues about Mr. Yang at a glance, but it is really reassuring for Zhou to have such an emperor's eldest son! "

"Who says it's not?"

Everyone started talking at once.

At this time, Fu Zhen's eyes were sharp and he saw Pei Yu hurriedly approaching with his guards in the distance, so he motioned for everyone to be silent.

Pei Yu still had a document in his hand. When he arrived at the gate of the garden and saw that they were all there, he stopped and raised the document in his hand and said, "You are all here? That's great! There is an emergency military situation in the northwest!"

When the man heard this, everyone gathered around him: "What happened?"

"Several Dongzi generals are leading no less than 100,000 troops and horses and are moving towards the border between Dongzi and Dayue. It is initially determined that these people should be the three generals who were colluded by Lian Yang!"

Pei Zhan and Liang Chen's expressions suddenly changed, and they both took the military report in their hands and started reading.

Cheng Zhili also lay down, and after taking a look, he blurted out: "Looking at their route, they are taking the main road to Dayue. If they dare to do this, there must be someone inside!"

"Could it be that Lian Yang has already left seclusion? They have all made plans and are preparing to attack the current Dayue Imperial Court?"

Pei Zhan raised his head, "Lian Yang's portrait has been sent to the pass a long time ago. Now all the people stationed at the pass are generals who have been with me. There is no way they can't even do this well!

“Furthermore, Chen Song only brought the news about Lian Yang to the capital a few days ago, so there’s no way he could be released from confinement so quickly!

"So I don't think the person who responded is Lian Yang, but in this case, we can't take it lightly. Their conspiracy is more sophisticated than we imagined!"

"So, regardless of whether he has been released from seclusion or not, you can't wait to rush to the northwest immediately!" Liang Chen looked at him and said, "Without further delay, you can go into the palace to invite the emperor."

Pei Zhan nodded, turned to Fu Zhen and said, "Wife, go find Mr. Yang and ask him to get ready. I will prepare the army and set out as soon as I receive the order from the palace!"

"I know, go ahead with peace of mind!"

After Fu Zhen sent him away, he left immediately.

Cheng Chili looked at everyone: "What should we do? Don't we go to the northwest? Will Lao Wu lead the troops alone?"

"Of course we can't let him go alone," Liang Chen glanced at him, "You stay in the capital and guard the imperial city! I will also enter the palace to ask for a decree!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the garden like a whirlwind.

"Wait for me, let's go too!"

Liang Chen and Cheng Chili quickly followed.

Su Xing'er and Pei Yu were left in the garden, staring with big eyes. Su Xing'er turned around in a circle: "I'm going to find Aunt Pei!"

He also ran out with a bang.
