His Majesty once married me

"The Yan family..."

Qi Yunheng frowned. While recalling how domineering the Yan family was in the previous dynasty, he also remembered what Ouyang had said to him - Concubine Yan put a green hat on Emperor Xinghe, and in Cheng When the country was not dead, and Emperor Xinghe was not dead, he eloped with others first.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Yunheng remembered that Yan Zhiwu was among the military generals returning to Beijing to report on his duties, but Lu Guogong Yang Songbai had not yet returned to Beijing, and Yan Zhiwu, the first-class general who arrived earlier, was not eligible to be summoned by him in advance.

Qi Yunheng's eyes darkened, and he told Gao Ming, "Go and send him away..."

Before Qi Yunheng finished speaking, he heard a few loud shouts from outside the carriage.

"Bold!"

Then there were several screams and a series of chaotic screams that could almost pierce human eardrums.

Qi Yunheng immediately stopped speaking and looked outside.

Ouyang's position is not good, so he can only release his consciousness to find out what's going on outside.

Checking in their own ways, the husband and wife discovered that it was the servants of the Yan family who tried to imitate the imperial guards and overturned the carriage that Qi Yunheng was riding in, so they groped towards them, but they did not expect them The target is the king of a country, the emperor of the Hua country. Although the guards guarding him dare not attack without authorization, they don't need to wait for the emperor's order when they are passively defending. As long as they find someone approaching the emperor's side without permission , there is only one thing they have to do, three words——

Kill without mercy!

As soon as they saw the Yan family trying to get close to the carriage, the guards staying beside Qi Yunheng immediately pulled out the soft knives hidden in their waists, cut off the heads of these people without saying a word, and chopped them to the ground.

This time, not only the Yan family was frightened out of their wits, but even the people watching the excitement around them became frightened birds, and ran away crying and howling.

However, Yan Zhiwu on the horseback became more and more afraid to act rashly. After being horrified, he quickly jumped off the horseback, not daring to maintain his condescending and arrogant attitude.

Swords and weapons were strictly prohibited in the capital, and Qin Guogong had learned from the past. This time the Yan family returned to Beijing for a reunion, and his brother Yan Zhiwen specifically warned him not to bring weapons and other prohibited items into Beijing.Their Yan family is not the Duke of Qin's mansion. If they hide forbidden items and they are exposed, His Majesty the Emperor will no longer hold them up high and lower them lightly like he did to Duke Qin, and no one in the court will speak for their Yan family.

The elder brother spoke very harshly. Obviously, this matter is not trivial and cannot be taken lightly. However, these people in front of Yan Zhiwu ignored the ban on weapons and soldiers, and even killed people in public without any scruples. There was no indication of any intention of fleeing as soon as possible.

In the astonishment, Yan Zhiwu finally settled down, carefully sized up these fierce thugs like bodyguards, and then found that they were uniformly dressed, although the style was ordinary, the materials were not high-end goods, and every move showed that they could only be seen in the barracks The force of orders and prohibitions is coming, and the weapons on the body are not as simple as it seems at first glance, and all of them are full of evil spirits, and they don't even blink when they witness the murder of their companions.

- Guards!

Yan Zhiwu finally guessed the identities of these people.

In this way, the identity of the person in the carriage protected by these imperial guards is also ready to be revealed. It is not His Majesty the Emperor himself, but also one of the two princes!

In the carriage, Qi Yunheng also saw what happened outside, frowned, and gave Gao Ming who hadn't left yet: "Call the garrison in charge of the city defense to come over and take all these people into custody."

"Here!" Gao Ming responded, and then reminded Qi Yunheng, "Your Majesty, what will Yan Shen do?"

"Let him choose." Qi Yunheng sneered, "Whether to go to prison with his relatives, or continue to be his first-class general, it's all up to him."

Gao Ming was startled for a moment and then understood what Qi Yunheng meant, and immediately took the order to go, turned his horse's head, and ran towards Yan Zhiwu.

Yan Zhiwu had met Gao Ming as early as in the previous dynasty, but he didn't have much impression of such a small role as Gao Ming at that time, and later he surrendered to Qi Yunheng's command, so he took Gao Ming seriously.

Today, Yan Zhiwu couldn't help but feel complicated when he saw this lackey who was dismissed by him even his master, and even felt a little depressed.

However, feng shui turns and the situation is stronger than others. Today's Gaoming, regardless of his status or background, is something that the Yan family can't afford to provoke, not to mention that Gaoming is the uncle of the eldest prince—if the eldest prince is killed Standing as a prince and even inheriting the throne, that high name is a veritable uncle of the country, and Yan Zhiwu was just a fake uncle of the country even when he was in the previous dynasty—his sister, Concubine Yan Gui, was neither in the royal family, nor was he ever married. Give birth to the prince and become the queen mother.

But before Yan Zhiwu came forward to salute Gao Ming, bowed his head and confessed his guilt, the city guards guarding the city gate led their soldiers and rushed over after hearing the news.

Gao Ming immediately threw Yan Zhiwu aside, revealed his identity to the city guards, and ordered him to arrest all Yan's family members and send them to the inspector under the Ministry of Punishment for custody.

Gao Ming didn't tell the defense of the city, the emperor was in the carriage not far from him, and only said that the Yan family was domineering and reckless, that they offended the nobles, and that they must be severely punished to serve as an example to others.

The defense of the city did not suspect that Gao Ming's words were false.

Although the official position of city defense is not high, but in a sense, he is also a full-time person who welcomes and escorts people. His pair of piercing eyes are comparable to the concierge of various houses, and he is familiar with all the important figures in Beijing. his identity.

The defense of the city does not know how expensive the nobles Gao Ming said would be, but Gao Ming is already a noble person in the eyes of most people, not to mention that there are nobles who are more "expensive" than Gao Ming, even the Yan family It's just that it collided with the high name, and the city defense must have been properly caught.

But the defense of the city did not associate with His Majesty the Emperor.Before he came over, the soldiers who had witnessed the commotion had already recognized Ouyang's carriage, and when they saw their officer coming, they immediately reported the matter to him and reminded him to be cautious—there is a saying in Beijing that people should not be provoked list, and the imperial concubine nine thousand years old topped the list.

Although Ouyang's carriage was inconspicuous, it couldn't hide from the "well-informed" soldiers.

The city defense only assumed that Ouyang went to Huangzhuang to inspect again, and immediately ordered his soldiers to surround the Yan family's convoy, regardless of men, women, or children, without asking Gao Ming any more questions.

At this time, Gao Ming turned his head and conveyed Qi Yunheng's will to Yan Zhiwu.

Yan Zhiwu rationally chose to stand by and watch, even if his younger sister Yan Guifei saw him and cried and begged him for help, Yan Zhiwu just pretended not to hear.

He is an official outside, so she can be rescued. If he is also imprisoned with them, let alone rescue his sister, even his brother Yan Zhiwu and even their father Yan Yongchang will be implicated in this incident , and went to jail together.

But at the same time that his heart ached, Yan Zhiwu also felt irritable because of his sister's bad habit of being domineering and domineering.

The younger sister did sacrifice a lot for the Yan family, but the father and their brothers also sacrificed a lot for her, and even at the risk of being accused by everyone and being stabbed in the back by the world, they allowed her to feign death and remarry, and live together with her lover.

Yan Zhiwu had mixed feelings, but Gao Ming had no interest and no time to share his feelings with him.

Seeing that Yan Zhiwu didn't block the city's defenses to arrest people, Gao Ming bowed his hands to him, bid farewell, turned around, and returned to Qi Yunheng's carriage, and together with other imperial guards escorted His Majesty back to the palace.

Seeing that Qi Yunheng closed the car window, Ouyang immediately moved to his side, put his arm on his shoulder, and whispered into his ear: "I just saw Concubine Yan, the fat man who was arguing with the guards in front It's the chief eunuch in her palace—well, maybe we should add once."

"She's quite affectionate." Qi Yunheng raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Ouyang's words, but what he said made the corners of Ouyang's mouth twitch, with black lines all over his head.

——Your thoughts are dirty enough!

Ouyang cursed in his heart.

But Ouyang only remembered that he and Qi Yunheng had mentioned about Concubine Yan Gui's cuckolding Emperor Xinghe, and forgot whether he had told him about Concubine Yan Guifei cheating her death and changing her name and marrying someone else. Gossip with Qi Yunheng freely, so as not to arouse Qi Yunheng's suspicion——Qi Yunheng has such a good memory, he looks like a woman!

Qi Yunheng didn't continue this topic anymore. On the one hand, he was not interested, but on the other hand, he was thinking about something more worthy of consideration, such as whether the title that was originally decided to be awarded to Yan Zhiwu should be withdrawn.

Even without Ouyang's pillow blowing and small talk, Qi Yunheng's impression of Yan's family is not good.

Although the Yan family has taken refuge in Qi Yunheng, but with the status of the Yan family in the previous dynasty, such a refuge will always make people feel ungrateful for profit, and they can't be trusted no matter what.It was only because of the rule that meritorious service must be rewarded that Qi Yunheng gave Yan Zhiwen an official position and gave Yan Zhiwu the opportunity to make contributions.

In addition, the Yan family left a very bad impression on Qi Yunheng in the early years. Knowing that Concubine Yan was also in the motorcade, Qi Yunheng understood why these members of the Yan family were so domineering and reckless——

To put it bluntly, it's just four words: habit dictates.

At the time when Emperor Xinghe was still in power, Taifu Yan had a high position and concubine Yan was the only favorite in the harem. The entire Yan family had engraved their arrogance and arrogance into their bones, and they took it for granted that they would be domineering, even if the dynasty changed. Old habits die hard.

——By the way, this matter can be used!

In a flash of inspiration, Qi Yunheng came up with an idea.

Sending Ouyang back to the Summer Palace, Qi Yunheng ordered Gao Ming to further strengthen the defense of this place, adding more guards, and added more than ten rotating eunuchs.

But Qi Yunheng left the government affairs to go to Huangzhuang, so he took Ouyang back properly at this moment, but it was not good to stay with him for a longer time, so he got up and left after a little tenderness, and agreed to come and meet again at night.

As soon as Qi Yunheng left, Ouyang asked Pang Zhong to prepare hot water for bathing, and called the housekeeper Zhuang who had been waiting for news in the summer palace.

"Things can be a little big."

When there were only himself and Butler Zhuang left in the room, Ouyang finally spoke the truth.
