I am a Big Villain

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Yan, this is General Yan."

This time Fu Cong came back after such great military exploits. In addition to Princess Mingzhu waiting outside the city gate, King Zhou and the two princes also sent people to guard the city gate early. When the other party entered the city, they immediately entered the palace. Report.

The banquet was also prepared, and all the ministers who were named were sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Everyone's face was beaming with joy. That was the Ming Dynasty. Their great Zhou Dynasty actually conquered most of the Ming Dynasty. Now the other side is cowering. In a small country, it is estimated that it won't be long before Ming's country will completely disappear in the long river of history.

How long has passed? More than half a year ago, they were still regretting the ten cities they lost because of Yan Chu. Now General Fu has taken back double the cities that were ceded to Yan Chu. It is really a young hero and a blessing for the great Zhou Dynasty.

But the smile didn't last long. The little eunuch who suddenly ran in made the chatter and whispers in the palace come to an abrupt end. Everyone, including King Zhou, Queen Zhou, and the two princes, gave inexplicable looks. Looking at him, what is General Yan? Isn't Yan Chu still with him in the Yan Mansion?

"The one who led the troops back is not the prince-in-law, but General Yan."

The little eunuch realized that he had not explained clearly, so he quickly calmed down his ups and downs and recounted again. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been quiet, suddenly exploded.

"How can it be?"

The prince was the first person who didn't believe in standing up. "Yan Chu is still staying in the Yan Mansion, and he is a disabled person with broken limbs and limbs. Being able to walk normally is already a gift from God. How could he run away?" Border, where is the consort? Where is the consort now? "

His face looked a little ugly. He was the one who ordered Yan Chu to be deposed, but he did it perfectly, and the person he bribed was also dead. Yan Chu probably didn't know it was him.

What's scary is that after what happened before, Yan Chu hated all of them. This time he was able to run to the border quietly, and none of the letters sent back revealed this. I'm afraid now The army is basically under Yan Chu's control.

That Fu Cong is really a waste. Fortunately, my little sister trusted him, but now he has quietly returned the military power to Yan Chu. Doesn't it mean that God is going to destroy him, the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Prince Zhou broke into sweat on his forehead, but he made a decisive decision and immediately turned around and offered his hand to King Zhou.

"Father, before Yan Chu enters the imperial city, quickly send the imperial guards to arrest all the female relatives of the Yan family. I am afraid that Yan Chu will rebel."

"How is it possible? That boy Yan Chu is so loyal, why would he rebel against me, Da Zhou?"

King Zhou was a little surprised at first by why Yan Chu suddenly appeared in the army returning home after victory. Then he heard his son's bold guess. He immediately said without thinking, but he also discovered it himself. He was talking about this. As he spoke, his confidence became a little less strong.

Why did Yan Chu leave the capital quietly? Why was his existence not mentioned in the good news sent to the capital again and again? The most important point is, where is Fu Cong and what happened to him.

Even Wen Wen and King Zhou couldn't explain these problems. In fact, he had a vague guess in his mind. He was afraid that Yan Chu had really turned against him.

King Zhou felt a little sad. He thought about that day a year ago, when the child was just escorted back to the capital. He said that he had been wronged and that the Yan family was full of loyalty and would not betray Zhou.

At that time, because of the solid evidence, he did not believe him. The people even surrounded the long street, and everyone took things and threw them in the direction of the prison car, because in the eyes of those people, Yan Chu was killed for treason. His own compatriots were the culprits who allowed Zhou to cede ten cities.

Some of those things were rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and some were sharp stones. Those things cut his flesh and heart.

King Zhou felt for a moment that if he really rebelled, he might be forced to rebel by the entire Zhou Dynasty.

He felt a little guilty, but this was the limit of what he, an unsuccessful emperor, could do. King Zhou was not willing to hand over the inheritance of his ancestors to others. After thinking clearly, he quickly summoned the imperial guards.

"Come here, go to the Yan Mansion quickly and invite Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan San, as well as other female members of the Yan family, including those who have returned home, please come into the palace."

"Remember please."

King Zhou still had a trace of luck in his heart, so he emphasized the method of bringing people into the palace to the people he sent.

After the imperial guards left, except for the whispers of the prince and the second prince, there was basically no sound in Nuo Da's palace, including the sound of heavier breathing.

Everyone, like King Zhou, thought of what happened a year ago.

Although Yan Chu was cleared of treason at that time, everyone still did not understand why he attacked the Ming Kingdom without reporting to His Majesty.

The war between the two countries is not a trivial matter, and sufficient preparations must be made. First, there must be a discussion at the court, and secondly, each ministry must calculate whether military pay, food and grass can be supplied, but Yan Chu wanted to do what he said. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quietly led the Yan family's army to attack, which made some veterans in the court very dissatisfied.

They attributed the 30,000 soldiers who died in the battle and the ten cities ceded to Yan Chu. Therefore, even if the other party did not commit treason, he had to endure the criticism from others and the rebuke behind his back from time to time.

Now Yan Chu used his own way to slap all of them hard on the face openly.

It's not that Yan Chu couldn't conquer the Ming Dynasty, it was because they, a group of fools who thought they were smart, not only delayed Zhou's expansion of its territory for a whole year, but also made a loyal minister fiercely give up on Zhou. We need to change the posture of changing dynasties.

"Yan Chu."

Zhou Mingzhu held up the hem of her skirt slightly and ran down the city wall panting, closely followed by a group of maids.

Today she was dressed like a married woman, with her waterfall-like long hair tied into a high bun on the back of her head. The delicate hairpins and delicate peonies made her look like a flower of wealth in the world.

Zhou Mingzhu usually dresses gently and elegantly. Today she chose such a gorgeous princess formal dress because she wanted to welcome her husband who had returned victoriously. It was also to let the other party know her identity. Don't just win the battle. I can climb on her head.

Because she was running a little hastily, Zhou Mingzhu's cheeks were filled with clouds. She stopped in front of the black horse that Yan Chu was riding. She raised her head high and looked at him with a trace of longing and a trace of entanglement in her eyes.

"These days, I often send people to send things to your house, but you haven't sent any message back. I thought...it turned out that you went to the border."

Zhou Mingzhu's eyes were full of smiles: "It's great to see you recover like this."

"If you had been earlier...we wouldn't be like this today." She said this very softly, feeling particularly lonely. It is estimated that except for the few palace maids closest to her, and some with better ears, The generals couldn't hear what she said.

Gou Xiong rode beside Yan Chu. He remembered that Princess Mingzhu was originally assigned to the young general, but because of the traitor Fu Cong, Princess Mingzhu was assigned to him again.

What was originally a good relationship between childhood sweethearts was ruined.

Gou Xiong has no ill intentions towards female relatives like Princess Mingzhu. In this era, annexation of dynasties is very common. Usually when a country conquers another country, it will not execute all the royal family of that country, but will choose to give them a With no title of real power, a piece of land was enclosed in the imperial city and they were kept captive for life.

It is also a good story for the new king to marry the princess and princess of the old royal family as his concubine, which expresses the new king's open-mindedness to the world. Therefore, if Zhou Mingzhu had not married Fu Cong, she and Yan Chu would still have a chance, but now she has married After all, Zhou State is different from Jiang State in that it has relatively strong restrictions on women's ethics.

Gou Xiong sighed, feeling quite sorry for the Pearl Princess.

"General, it's bad. A group of people came from the palace. They said that you, General, were plotting rebellion. They wanted to arrest the old lady and the ladies and punish them. The guards in the palace stopped them, and they were all beaten to death by the people in the palace. , please go back and save the old lady."

A middle-aged man dressed as a servant, covered in blood, suddenly rushed into the team, threw himself in front of the cavalry and cried to Yan Chu.

The people watching around you look at me and I look at you. Although the general who led them to victory was changed from General Fu to General Yan, the people don't care so much. They only know that their country's territory is getting bigger and bigger. The likelihood of being exposed to war is lower.

In their opinion, Yan Chu seemed to be the hero in this matter, and the other party had just entered the city gate and had done nothing. The palace said that General Yan was going to rebel, and even took Mrs. Yan and the others into the palace. In the eyes of the common people, General Yan's contribution was so great that the emperor could not tolerate him.

Before Zhou Mingzhu could secretly curse some idiot in the palace for coming up with this idea, Yan Chu had already rushed towards the Yan family. On this trip to Beijing, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who followed him back were all his confidants. Now the city The door opened wide, and seeing how King Zhou treated his heroes, he immediately took his sword and rushed over with the young general.

The people who were watching scattered like birds of fright. They had realized that whether the young general wanted to rebel or the majesty could not tolerate this loyal minister, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty was probably going to turn into a river of blood.

The smarter ones ran home immediately, gathered their family members, blocked the doors and windows, and planned to spend the next few days quietly.

As for who will be the emperor, as long as they can live well, it doesn't matter to the people.

If it weren't for the palace maid protecting her, Zhou Mingzhu would have been injured by the sudden chaos. However, when they were about to leave, a small team surrounded them.

The situation is undecided now. She is the princess of Zhou Kingdom, so she is naturally a ready bargaining chip.

At this time, the door of Yan's mansion was closed tightly, and only the sounds of fighting and the cries of women's family members could be heard from time to time. Yan Chu knelt in front of the Yan family's ancestral hall, turning a deaf ear to the sounds outside. Mrs. Yan and Yan Chu The same goes for the third lady.

"Grandma asked you for the last time, have you really thought about it?" Mrs. Yan looked at her grandson with complicated emotions and asked.

"Yes." He nodded solemnly again, "I will marry the princess of Zhou Kingdom, and our children will inherit this country in the future. It will not be considered as living up to the legacy of our ancestors."

Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan looked at each other. They did not expect that their grandson/son would be so affectionate and loyal to Zhou Mingzhu, but the other party was already a married woman, a bad fate, a bad fate.

"The princess is kind to our Yan family. Although she will remarry if she wants to marry you, since you have decided to marry her, you cannot let her down. This is also the ancestral motto of our Yan family, so have you really thought it through?"

Princess Mingzhu has had little contact with the Yan family since she married Na Fu Cong. Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan also knew that she was in a difficult situation. They were grateful to each other for interceding in front of King Zhou to save their grandson/son's life. Kindness will never be forgotten.

Yan Chu nodded. Naturally, he would not hold any grudge against Zhou Mingli for being forced to marry King Jiang. He was not the scumbag he had been.

Seeing their grandson/son's determined look, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan San were speechless. They watched him kowtow three times to the ancestors of the Yan family and leave with his sword in hand.

After he went out, the Imperial Guards and Yan Chu's personal soldiers, who were still competing with each other with louder voices and nicer calls, stopped their pretentious acting and looked at him directly.

Yan Chu stood on the high steps, raising the cold sword in his hand above his head.

"kill--"

All the soldiers present roared, and the entire capital seemed to be shaken by their voices.

Today is destined to be a sleepless night.

"It should have started over there, right?"

Zhou Mingli, as usual, climbed onto the highest tower in the Imperial City of Jiang State and looked in the direction of Zhou State.

There was a piece of paper in her hand, and the man said he would take her home soon.

Going home is like a dream.
