Chapter 99 Ancient (27) Winning

Within a few days, the border war officially began.

Yanjin handles the battle wholeheartedly. He must try his best to minimize the loss. After all, his current strength cannot withstand too much consumption, and his cautious and suspicious character makes him have to grasp enough capital at all times to be at ease.

In this way, Yanjin must try to maximize his own advantages, surprise him, and succeed in one fell swoop.

"Yanjin will definitely go to the frontier to guide the war in person. We must seize those few days."

Yanze was a little confused, "How can the prince be so sure?"

"Yanjin once cooperated with foreign tribes. He is absolutely clear about the specific situation within the foreign tribes. It's not that he can't directly convey it to the team leader. However, the battlefield is changing rapidly. If Yanjin is in the capital, it will be difficult to judge the situation in the first place and give orders. So he will definitely not be at ease. He will definitely go to the battlefield in person."

"When will that be?"

"It won't be too long," Yan Nanxu analyzed: "Yanjin will definitely take care of the court before leaving, and will not let anyone else know that he is leaving Beijing. He will make full use of the time to complete the strategic layout as soon as possible .”

"The initial stage of the war is the stage of testing for both sides. Yanjin will not go, only the most intense outbreak period he will go in person, and then when the overall situation is basically settled, he will come back immediately. In this way, including the time of carriages and horses, [-] , [-], [-], these three days will be the safest."

Yan Ze pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, just these three days, do you have any opinions on the candidates?"

"The killing of Xue Jiagui at Yanjin is already known to everyone in the capital. The Third Highness only needs to disclose a little information to those people. Those who can't hold back will naturally come to look for them. Don't worry about it."

With the execution of the heroes and the urgency of the war, people in the capital were shaken, and many people probably wanted to give themselves multiple escape routes. As the third prince, Yanze still held the imperial seal that symbolized imperial power, which was really good in the eyes of those people. Way back.

In the final analysis, Yanjin was captured by mutiny. After all, there are only a few people who can use it with confidence. After all, if you can betray the original emperor, why can't you betray Yanjin?
Yan Nanxu and Yan Ze confirmed the progress of the follow-up plan. The personnel from all parties are ready and will wait for the [-]th.

"Third Highness, I have one more request."

Before Yanze left, he was suddenly called, "Your Majesty, please speak."

Yan Nanxu paused for a while, then said softly: "Lord Cao's body... I hope the Third Highness can help me..."

"Don't worry about this, my son," Yan Ze interrupted him directly, "Master Cao is a loyal man, and he should have an explanation. I have been sending people to inquire, and I will tell my son as soon as I have any news."

Yan Nanxu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Thank you."

Yanze did what he said and found Cao Yushi's body before the seventeenth day.

The recent war is busy, and Yanjin has little time to take care of other things, and how much attention can a dead person get?Just find a place outside the city and throw it away.

People from Yanze found the mass grave and carefully transported the corpse back secretly.

When Yan Nanxu received the notice and arrived, Yan Ze had already ordered someone to seal the coffin.

Yan Ze looked at the people who came, considered his tone, and said tactfully: "The deceased is gone, let's let Mr. Cao go to the ground as soon as possible."

It's not that Yan Ze didn't want Yan Nanxu to see him for the last time, it's really... Yan Jin used many methods of torture, Cao Yushi died in a miserable state, and the toxins in Yan Nanxu's body only stabilized a few days ago, he really didn't dare Show people this scene.

Yan Nanxu could probably guess what Yan Ze meant, so she didn't say anything, and looked down at the newly sealed coffin, looking neither sad nor happy.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the corpse cannot be left for too long. It is absolutely impossible to transport the coffin back to Cao Yushi's hometown. For the time being, he can only find a nearby place with good feng shui for burial.

When the coffin was lifted up for the funeral, Yan Nanxu suddenly said to Yan Ze: "I checked the Xizhao Tower incident back then, and it was Yan Jin's handiwork. He cooperated with Xue Jiagui to replace the support beams, and specially lured my younger brother to go, intending to marry him. Misfortune to Mr. Cao, get rid of the political opponents in the court."

Yan Ze was a little confused after hearing this: Why did Yan Nanxu investigate that matter?After finding out, why didn't you tell the emperor clearly?

However, after the conclusion of the coffin, Cao Yushi had passed away. Yan Ze didn't need to pursue these doubts. He understood the other meaning of Yan Nanxu's words, and promised: "Master Cao has been clean and honest all his life. On that day, I will rectify his name and make him Duke Protector."

Cao Yushi saved Yan Nanxu, but he also indirectly saved Yan Ze and the others. This title is understandable.

"Thank you, Third Highness." Yan Nanxu bowed deeply.

In fact, the posthumous title is nothing more than a false name, and I don't know whether this title is to comfort the dead or the living...

Cao Yushi's funeral was very simple. His wife died early, and he never married, and he had no heirs. There were only a few distant relatives in his hometown, and no one could take care of him. Moreover, time was urgent, and there were too many things to be done. Can keep everything simple.

The day of the burial was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly. Yan Nanxu raised his eyes to look at the sky, it was clear and blue, it was very beautiful, it made people feel refreshed, but the smell of mud in the nose did not dissipate...

The day of action is coming soon. According to speculation, Yanjin should have left the capital. Yanze sent Shen Linxi to enter the capital in disguise, and secretly contacted the previously selected people.

Yan Nanxu knew that there must be ministers under surveillance in Yanjin, so Shen Linxi's task was to quietly reveal to those people the intention of the third prince to see him, and leave the capital immediately after leaving them the meeting place and method. stay.

The banquet Nanxu arranged very well. On the [-]th, Shen Linxi went to the capital to convey the news of the meeting, and the [-]th was the date of the meeting. The people who came followed the instructions, first went to Mingyue Tower to open an Accord to get rid of surveillance, and then secretly Exit through the back door.The meeting place is set at an inn outside the capital, which is much safer.

Yan Ze sat in the guest room with his eyes closed to rest his mind, while Shen Linxi who was beside him seemed a little restless, walking back and forth restlessly.

At the end of the day, the door was knocked three times in total, without any rush—the guest has arrived.

Shen Linxi stepped forward to open the door, and the first person to come was Lin Cheng, the commander of the Habayashi Army who opened the gate to let the Yanjin cavalry enter Beijing.

Yan Ze saw the gloomy eyes of the visitor for a moment, but immediately covered it up again, and said with a smile, "General Lin."

"Hello, Third Prince."

One is the commander-in-chief of the emperor's imperial guard, and the other is a wanted rebel. It's a bit ironic that they greet each other in such a harmonious manner.

But it's nothing more than "the visitor is the guest", and those who come here are all voluntary, and the pros and cons must have been carefully considered.

After that, several more civil servants came one after another. When they saw each other, they all smiled awkwardly, and then said hello to each other.

When people come together, those people don't speak a word. A group of people are watching their noses and noses and their hearts, and they are not willing to start this "conspiracy".

No one was willing to speak, so I had to come by myself, Yan Ze smiled and said: "This time I ask for help, my lords can come, Yan Ze first thank you here."

"The third prince is serious."

"Yanjin brutally killed, colluded with foreign tribes, sacrificed 26 cities, murdered loyal and good people, and killed heroes in vain. The world has gained it and punished him. I have decided to fight to the death with him. I know that you have no choice but to submit to Yanjin. I hope that you will Let’s help each other and eliminate this royal scourge together.”

One of the civil servants hesitated for a moment, and worried: "Is the Third Highness really planning to fight Yanjin to the death now? Maybe it's better to keep a low profile for a while?"

"This time the foreign race invaded, Yan Jin was tired of dealing with the foreign race, and in the end his own strength would be greatly depleted. This is when he is weakest, so it is naturally the best time."

"That's...that's right..."

Yanze smiled and reminded: "Are you still willing to continue to serve Yanjin? You probably know best how he treats his subordinates, and... I can't give what Yanjin can give, even double. .”

These people serve for the sake of "profit". As for who they are loyal to, what does it matter?
A few people started to get ready to make a move. The benefits outweighed the fear in their hearts. Just when they were about to proceed, Lin Cheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "I heard that the Third Highness took away the imperial seal?"

It is the symbol of this country, which made it impossible for Yanjin to hold the enthronement ceremony for so long, and unable to ascend the throne justifiably.

"Yes." Yan Ze nodded.

"Then, can His Highness take it out for us to have a look now?"

Lin Cheng's request was unceremonious, even a little rude, but Yanze still smiled and said directly: "Okay."

Saying that, Yan Ze clapped his hands, and someone walked out from behind the screen in the guest room, holding a wooden box in his hand.

When they saw the person coming, the people here were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed again and again.

"My lords, good afternoon." Yan Nanxu held the wooden box and respectfully greeted those people.
