Chasing King

Yan Sikong pressed the throb of his heart: "what news have you got?"

"A group of rebels appeared in Jiading Prefecture and gathered a large number of victims in Sichuan. In a short period of one month, two cities have been built."

"There are many riots among the people due to the severe drought in Southwest China. How can we determine whether it is a closed field?" Last year's drought in Southwest China caused no harvest in the people's fields. Since Yan Zilian left, the power of the cabinet declined, the eunuch party was rampant, Xie Zhongren was extremely corrupt, and the relief food and grass were severely exploited. At that time, there were riots all over the country, but the riots were not as big as those of King Liang, so the imperial court did not pay much attention to them.

"This group of rebels did not come from the people, but suddenly appeared. At first, there were only a few thousand people. They are well armed and have strict military discipline. The cavalry in Yishui are not plundered as wantonly as the mob. They are just like the standing army of the imperial court, and they are moving very fast. In less than a month, they have been in two cities and are absorbing scattered soldiers. "

Yan Sikong secretly clenched the armrest of the chair: "where did you get the news?"

No wonder Zhu Lanting has such doubts. If there were thousands of people in the folk, they would be noticed by the local people. Unless they were hidden, they would be able to pull up two cities in a row with only a few thousand people. This kind of brave fighting power can never be a farmer who can't get enough to eat It's gone for three years.

Zhu Lanting said: "I'm afraid it will cause confusion. The news is secret. I'm afraid the emperor has just learned it. I have my own way."

In the past three years, it has become a taboo for the emperor to seal his family. When Emperor Zhaowu was in the woods of singing, dancing and drinking, he would be scared into a cold sweat when he woke up for a moment and thought of the little wolf king, who was still free and unfettered.

In order to appease the people, the imperial court announced that it had found Fengye and killed him on the spot. However, it has been secretly tracking down Fengye. Fengye has become a thorn in emperor Zhaowu's heart and may become his nightmare in the future.

Yan Sikong's heart beats wildly, half happy and half worried, closing the field Are you really back?

Over the past three years, he has been looking forward to the news of Fengye day and night. He always believes that Fengye is still alive and that Fengye will make a comeback. He has countless illusions that one day Fengye will follow the long wind and lead thousands of troops back to the capital.

If it is really Fengye, he must have suffered a lot in the past three years. Where is he hiding? How did he get the troops? How did he spend his days and nights?

Yan Sikong did not dare to think much.

When Zhu Lanting saw Yan Sikong's complexion, he knew that he was not as calm as on the surface: "if it was really Fengye, what would you do?"

Yan Sikong blinked his eyes, but his face didn't move: "what can I do?"

"Fengye will come back for revenge. You and I know it." Zhu Lanting said, "if he wants more than Xie Zhongren's head?"

Yan Sikong asked: "when commander Zhu let me go, didn't he think that Fengye might endanger your majesty?"

Zhu Lanting said coldly: "you swore to me at the beginning that you only supported the great prince. If Fengye wants the world to change its surname, will you break the oath? "

Yan Sikong said with a smile, "commander Zhu, I'm a villain. You can trust half of what I say, right?"

Zhu Lanting's face changed slightly: "what do you mean?"

"You know that the day Chen Chun ascends the throne is the time when Zhu's family loses power, so you are willing to take risks, and you will not hesitate to violate the mission of the commander of the guard, but also release Fengye. You didn't help me, you didn't help Fengye, you helped yourself. "

Zhu Lanting hands into a fist, looking at Yan Sikong's eyes more fierce.

"Commander Zhu, you are an impeccable person, but you have one of your biggest shortcomings. You are indecisive. You either don't do something or you never do it." Yan Sikong stared into his eyes deeply. "I'll tell you the truth. Whether you believe it or not, I still have the king of Chu in my heart. Even if he really has this life, he is only a handsome man after all. The king of Chu is the only emperor in my heart. But the power of you and me, in front of the torrent of heaven's destiny, is only a little, we can only do our best He accentuated, "and as far as you can, because you and I are in the same boat."

Zhu Lanting's chest is deeply undulating, and his heart must be full of ups and downs. Yan Sikong is right. He made a choice three years ago. Now he can only go forward and can't go back. At that time, the Empress Dowager pointed him out to Chen Chuan as a martial arts teacher. She had already tied the Zhu family to the Grand Prince's family. Now the Zhu family depends on the love of emperor Zhaowu. Once Chen Chun succeeds to the throne, they will be the first to attack. Therefore, no matter who it is, as long as it is not Chen Chun

Yan Sikong said in a soft voice, "I wish you, commander. I don't have any allies in the DPRK. You can count yourself as the only one. When General Zhao Fuyi will send troops to Liaodong one day, who will be the best choice for the General Commander of the garrison? "

Zhu Lanting had this plan in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Yan Sikong said for him: "you have to."

Zhu Lanting's eyes wandered: "but I'm afraid Xie Zhongren is..."

"The garrison power is related to the safety of the royal family. Your majesty will never give it to outsiders. You are the Empress Dowager's relative, your nephew, and the commander of the Imperial Guard. Is there anyone more suitable than you? I can put this down today and make sure that you will take the post of commander in chief of the garrison. "Zhu Lanting's vigorous body trembled slightly. Looking at Yan Sikong, his eyes were burning.

"When you get the garrison power, you will guard the gate of the capital. Who do you want to let in..." Yan Si empty lips smile, "you has the final say."

Zhu Lanting suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a long time, he finally settled down and looked at Yan Sikong: "you and I, support the great prince to succeed. Do you dare Dare you swear with poison? "

"Ha ha ha ha -" Yan Sikong laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" said Zhu Lanting

Yan Sikong shook his shoulders with a smile: "commander Zhu, brother Zhu, I can swear three poison vows a day in front of the eunuch. If God had eyes, I would have died in the street and lost my children and grandchildren. My vows are like farting, ha ha ha..."

Zhu Lanting looks at Yan Sikong and his eyes flash with unspeakable thoughts.

Yan Sikong finally stopped laughing and said lightly, "you don't have to listen to my oath. You just need to see what I do. I will present the military power of the garrison with both hands. One day, I will join you to welcome the prince back to Beijing and succeed to the throne!"
