Chasing King

Although Yan Sikong is far away from Yunnan, he is still well informed.

Liaodong is now in a stalemate of confrontation. Zhuoletai can't attack, Zhao Fuyi can't fight, and so did Datong and Wala. But the Datong defense line is solid, and the people in the pass live and work in peace and contentment. Most of the soldiers go to war and farm. Most of the food is self-sufficient. However, Liaodong is different. More than 20 years ago, the seven states of Northern Liaoning were defeated and moved to the people, which has become wasteland The situation is getting worse and worse. The military expenditure depends on the imperial court, and the daily expenditure is huge, which has become the abscess of the imperial court.

Han Zhaoxing is still a traitor in the state of Jin, and it is not known whether general Zhao has any contact with him secretly.

Xie Zhongren was tried in prison for a year, and he recruited everything, including the original design to frame Feng's family, just because Feng Ye "changed his mind temporarily" and did not comply with the appeasement. Of course, Emperor Zhaowu would not beat himself in the face and publicize the injustice of Feng's family. Now he has Xie Zhongren's life, but it is because he has a little use in Han Zhaoxing and Feng Ye.

All the information in Beijing came from she Zhun's Secret newspaper. Of course, she Zhun told him the court and the people's conjectures about him. There is no impermeable wall in the world. The rumor that he rebelled against the king of Chu and secretly helped the king of Chu to rebel has been spread all over the world. In addition to the lack of real evidence, many of them are consistent with the facts.

Yan Sikong was not surprised. At least the people around him, such as Qian Feitong, Hou Ming and some servants, had already guessed his identity, although he was still locked up in Qianzhou prison.

Even if the dog emperor knows, he can't help it. His only family member in Beijing is the dog emperor's own daughter. Unless Wan Yangsheng's son can threaten him, he has no time to take care of him in troubled times.

However, the reaction of the imperial court was quick. As soon as the news of the rebellion of the king of Chu came back to the capital, the imperial court sent two people to negotiate peace, and they were very well elected.

One is Professor Huo Lihuo, who was also a lecturer of Chen Kai. After Yan Zilian died of illness, he was promoted from the second assistant to the first assistant of the cabinet. However, he could not bear the persecution of the castration party and went back to his hometown. Now he is a rare man. The other is Chen's grandfather. He used to be a petty official in charge of a small post station in Jinan government. He sent his daughter to the palace as a maid of honor, but he didn't want to be lucky by the emperor and gave birth to the eldest prince. Unfortunately, huifei was not in favor of him. He was only placed in a small official position. Even when Chen was granted the crown prince, he didn't follow the cock and dog to the heaven. Now, he has been promoted five grades and become a prince Although he was a casual official in the Ministry of rites, his promotion was unheard of, which showed that emperor Zhaowu wanted to mend his troubles.

It seems that emperor Zhaowu is also sober. He no longer hopes that Fengye, who is carrying the blood feud of killing his father and killing his family, can be appeased. On the contrary, his own son has room to turn around.

These two people make Yan Sikong feel a great crisis.

It's not because they really have deep feelings with Chen. One is a teacher who has no real name and hasn't taught Chen several times. The other is a grandfather who hasn't met Chen several times since he was born. It's impossible for them to shake Chen's determination. But the appearance of these two people reveals a message that emperor Zhaowu is showing weakness.

If emperor Zhaowu realized that the current situation was grim, with internal and external troubles, and that he was already suffering from the enemy, he would be on the verge of extinction. In order to protect himself, he would abolish Chen Chun and re establish Chen Wei as the crown prince. In this way, the reasons for Fengye and Chen Wei's rebellion would be gone, and Chen Wei would have to serve emperor Zhaowu well until he died.

At that time, their only internal enemy was Fengye. If the whole nation's strength and Chahar's internal and external attacks were combined, Fengye would become the target of public criticism and would surely die. What's more, if Chen Kai really goes back to be the crown prince, it's impossible to predict how he will be manipulated in the future.

After Yan Sikong made this matter clear, he only felt that his sweat bristled and he had the idea of assassinating Huo Li and Huo Li on the way. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right. He had to let emperor Zhaowu and Chen Kai give up this idea at the same time. He had to let emperor Zhaowu know that Chen Kai hated him for many years, and let Chen Kai know that they wanted the throne, not the crown prince.

As soon as he got the news, Chen came to find him. As soon as he met him, he asked frankly, "can you get the news, sir?"

Yan Sikong nodded: "the emperor sent Mr. huoge and Mr. Xu to persuade him to make peace. Poor Mr. huoge is seventy-four years old. I don't know if I can bear such a long journey."

"I didn't expect that he would send his grandfather to..." Chen Bi said coldly, "when his mother's concubine was alive, he was indifferent and extremely indifferent. At this time, he thought of my mother's family. It's ridiculous." He was angry and happy.

"It proves that his highness really makes him feel threatened." Yan Sikong said, "Congratulations, your highness."

Mr. Chen sneered: "what you say is that he has never paid attention to my mother and son in his whole life, but now he has to send someone to beg me."

"Your Highness must understand that he is worried about you because you have 50000 troops in your hands, and there will be more in the future. If you compromise with him, you will go back to the past without these, and even because you have a rebellious heart. Once you have a chance, he will not let you go."

"Don't worry, sir. I'm wide awake."Yan Sikong got up and came to the window. Looking at the moonlight outside, he said in a soft voice: "Your Highness is naturally sober now, but huoge is rich and can speak well. Mr. Xu is also your Highness's grandfather. These two people come out to talk with reason and move with emotion. I'm afraid your highness can't carry it."

"Sir, I underestimate my determination. I will treat them politely, but..." Chen Bi narrowed his eyes, sharp eyes, "no one wants to stop me from taking back my own throne."

Yan Sikong nodded and gazed at Chen Kai: "if the emperor is willing to abolish Chen Chun and make his Highness Prince again?"

Chen hung his eyes.

Yan Sikong said with a smile: "Your Highness is very wise. In fact, he has thought of it, right?"

"Don't worry, sir. I won't waver easily."

"It's inconvenient for your highness to meet the elder and Mr. Xu. I'll wait for your Highness's news."

Chen Bi stood up and went to Yan Sikong: "why don't you believe me, sir? In less than a year, my husband has given me the strength to fight against the imperial court. He has made great efforts. I can see that without him, I would not be where I am today. How can I disappoint him? "

"Of course, I believe in your highness. Your highness will not stop at small profits until his great cause is accomplished." Yan Sikong looked at Chen Bi and said.

Chen Bi also quietly looked at Yan Sikong. After a long time, he was so lost that he murmured, "the man in the moonlight is really beautiful."

Yan Sikong frowned slightly: "Your Highness..."

"Sir." "Mr. Chen tried his best to work for me all day. I am grateful and compassionate. Since my mother's death, no one in the world has treated me better than Mr. Chen. I trust Mr. Chen, depend on Mr. Chen, like Mr. Chen, and treat Mr. Chen as my closest friend. How can Mr. Chen tell me to restrain myself?"

Yan Si said coldly, "Your Highness is a man who wants to achieve great ambition. How can you be a mother in love with children?"

"If I am infatuated with ordinary women, or indulge in concubines like my father, my husband can scold me. But my husband is different. He is my teacher, my counselor and my prime minister in the future. Together, I will be able to recreate the prosperous Kaiping era of Dasheng. I can't live without him. I don't want to be separated from him all my life, and no one will replace him in my heart. "

Yan Sikong's face sank. He stepped back and sighed: "Your Highness, I'm a man, and I'm..."

"Fengye is also a man!" Chen Yi took Yan Sikong's hand, and his face was not willing. "Mr. Wang married his sister Huang and gave birth to a little princess. If you only follow the common way and are not close to the color of Longyang, I will not embarrass Mr. Wang all my life. But Mr. Wang can do it, so why can't I? I want to be emperor. I can give you the whole world. Isn't that what you want

Yan Sikong said sternly: "what I want is to help your highness run the country and live up to what he has learned all his life. It's not to serve others with lust and leave a laughing stock."

Chen Xiaohan said in a voice: "nonsense, if I become emperor in the future, who dares to say that my husband is not good at every word, I'll kill him

"Your Highness..." Yan Si wanted to draw back his hand, but found that he couldn't move. He was tired and said, "Your Highness, I'm willing to go through fire and water for your highness. I can't do this alone."

"Is it because of Fengye?" he said

"No, no matter whether there is Fengye or not, Ministers must not go beyond the ceremony of monarch and minister."

"It's too far fetched, sir, for those who have no propriety and dare to risk the great injustice of the world to talk about the proprieties of kings and ministers." Chen Bi said angrily, "Fengye once humiliated you like that, but now he is also using you. Why do you think about him so hard"

this sentence is just hitting Yan Sikong's heart. He said in a high voice, "the more your highness says, the more ridiculous it is. I only have the righteousness of my family and country in my heart. When can your highness understand my minister's painstakingness?"

Chen Qi pursed his lips, his expression was a bit ferocious, but he was trying to restrain himself. He reluctantly let go of Yan Sikong's hand and said in a lost voice, "I like my husband. I can't help it. If he wants to be angry with me, I can't help it."

Yan Sikong took a deep breath: "your highness and Qifu have a child. In this way, your highness can be more mature." By implication, he hoped that Chen would put his mind on his concubine and stop thinking about himself.

“…… I won't let her have my baby. "

Yan Sikong was stunned: "why? Your highness must inherit more children. "

"I will not let a woman of humble origin give birth to my son." Chen Bi's dark eyes were staring at Yan Sikong. His emotion was deep and unpredictable. "In fact, I can understand my father now."

Yan Sikong was silent.

"One day when I ascend the throne, how can I pass the country to a helpless prince?"

"Your Highness is worried too much. In the future, if your highness marries a proper wife, he will be born directly."

"What if the wife has no children?" Chen Bi showed a cold smile, "my tragedy doesn't have to happen to my son."

Yan Sikong was shocked by the coldness in Chen's eyes. When did this young man, who was just 20 years old and had not yet grown up in his heart, have such eyes?
