The prince is hard to serve

After getting the news from Luoyu, Yan Wenyuan's reaction was not what Yan Wenhao expected, he didn't fully believe it, and then went to the palace to report regardless.

Yan Wenyuan had great doubts about Luo Yu's statement.

After all, [-] soldiers and horses are not a small number. If so many people and horses were stationed outside the city, how could there be no trouble at all?

Therefore, he sent Feng Yan to go out of the city overnight to investigate.

Ansan, who had been hiding in the dark, saw Feng Yan leaving the mansion, and followed Yan Wenhao's instructions, pretending to be two drunk men with another spy, saying some specious things, which aroused Feng Yan's suspicion, and then deliberately put Feng Yan led him to the hill where King Huai's [-] troops were stationed.

He didn't realize that someone was guiding them deliberately. In fact, when Feng Yan followed into the mountain and saw a strange army stationed in the valley, he was already shocked.

After observing carefully for a while, and taking note of the location, Feng Yan turned around and left, and hurried back to the Third Prince's Mansion.

It's rare to see Feng Yan's anxious expression in such a hurry. He was originally indifferent. Yan Wenyuan, who was playing chess with him, couldn't help but frowned. He put down the chess pieces, turned his head, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter, but is it really as Luo Yu said?"

"Yes, what Luo Yu said is indeed true."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yan pursed his lips again, bowed and bowed, and said with a serious face: "Your Highness, you should enter the palace as soon as possible and report this matter to Your Majesty."

Taking out a pair of brand new white jade teacups, Yan Wenyuan filled them with tea, then raised his head and smiled at Feng Yan, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, the palace gate will open in another hour, and then , I will enter the palace and report to my father."

He is still waiting, waiting for the evidence he ordered Luo Yu to get.

Seeing Yan Wenyuan's casual attitude, Feng Yan frowned, took a step forward, and said in disapproval, "But Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, you should..."

"Seal."

After interrupting Feng Yan's words, Yan Wenyuan stood up. He picked up one of the cups of tea on the table with his fair and slender hands, and personally brought the cup to Feng Yan's lips. He looked up at him with a smile, and said softly: "This is the tea I personally poured for you, don't you want to drink it?"

His face turned red, Feng Yan couldn't help but took a step back, frowned and said: "Your Highness, you..."

Continuing to push the teacup forward, Yan Wenyuan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I have my own discretion in this matter, Feng Yan, you don't need to worry."

Facing Yan Wenyuan who was full of smiles and self-confidence, although Feng Yan still couldn't praise him, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything more.

Regarding Feng Yan's reaction, Yan Wenyuan smiled in satisfaction, and he transferred the teacup that was on Feng Yan's lips to his hand, then turned around, suppressed his smile, and said in a flat tone: "Feng Yan, You have worked hard tonight, if you have nothing else to do, go back and rest first."

"Yes."

Feng Yan lowered his head and respectfully responded, but he didn't leave, but bowed his head and stood quietly aside.

At five o'clock, the rain came as promised.

Seeing her, Yan Wenyuan took a step back, withdrew from Feng Yan's arms, separated from Feng Yan, then turned back to the main seat, sat down, and asked: "Have you got it?"

Pretending not to see it, Luo Yu's expression remained the same, he nodded, and then said seriously: "Your Highness has fulfilled your trust, this subordinate has already obtained it."

As she spoke, she took out a list from her bosom, lowered her head, and presented it to Yan Wenyuan, "This is the list that my subordinates learned from Mr. Chen. There are a total of six ministers, all of whom are in the dark. , a person who has colluded with Duke Huai."

The Mr. Chen that Luo Yu mentioned was a second-rank official of the imperial court. He often went in and out of Liuxiang, Huajie, and he was a frequent customer in Luoyu's shop.

His name is also on the list, and it is most appropriate to use him as the person who leaked the news.

This was something Yan Wenhao had considered early on.

After receiving the list, Yan Wenyuan lowered his head and glanced at it, then smiled, and said happily, "Luo Yu, you have made great achievements this time, what reward do you want?"

Shaking his head, Luo Yu respectfully said: "This subordinate is only doing his job well, and doesn't need any rewards."

"Although this is the case, I always distinguish between rewards and punishments. You have made great achievements this time, and you must be rewarded." After speaking, Yan Wenyuan stopped to think for a while, and then smiled: "That's it, I'm here There are also a few treasures from my father, and a few boxes of spices, with wonderful fragrances and beauties, so I will give them to you together."

Without refusing, Luo Yu lowered his head and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward."

Playing with the jade wrench on his thumb, he was silent for a while, then Yan Wenyuan ordered again: "By the way, you still need to keep an eye on him, Brother Wuhuang, he's been too quiet recently, presumably it's one after another. This incident has hit him hard, but if he continues to be depressed, if necessary, you need to stimulate him a bit, so that he will not forget his hatred for the Second Emperor."

At this moment, Yan Wenyuan had actually vaguely noticed that Yan Wenhao was not as weak and harmless as he appeared on the surface, so he couldn't tolerate Yan Wenhao's existence even more.

He needs Yan Wenzhi to take action to solve Yan Wenhao for him.

Lowering her eyes, a trace of strangeness flashed in Luo Yu's eyes, and after a while, she replied: "This subordinate understands."

In the palace, the dry palace.

Emperor Yan was having breakfast at this time, when he suddenly heard the report from the eunuch outside the palace, he was a little surprised and said: "Wen Yuan has entered the palace?"

Eyebrows lowered, the little eunuch lowered his eyelids, his eyes only dared to fall on Emperor Yan's bright yellow robe. Hearing this, he replied respectfully: "Yes, the third prince has been waiting outside the palace for a long time now, does your majesty want to announce the third prince?" Enter the palace?"

Hearing this, Emperor Yan thought for a while and agreed: "Since he has already come, let him come in."

"Yes."

Bowing, the little eunuch stepped back as he said, and after a while, Yan Wenyuan stepped into the palace gate with a solemn face, head held high, and steady steps.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Yan Wenyuan lifted his robe and knelt down, bowed to Emperor Yan, and greeted him in a loud voice: "I will see my father."

"Get up without courtesy."

Looking at Yan Wenyuan, Emperor Yan asked, "Why did you come to the palace so early to find me?" After waving away the maid who was about to prepare vegetables for him, Emperor Yan pointed to the seat opposite him, He said, "Come and sit down and talk."

Yan Wenyuan didn't sit down as promised, Yan Wenyuan's expression was very dignified. After he got up, he said very solemnly: "Father, my son has entered the palace this time, and I have something important to report to you."

Emperor Yan took the handkerchief from the maid and wiped the corners of his mouth. Hearing this, he raised his head, and seeing Yan Wenyuan's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, and asked, "But what happened?"

Frowning tightly, Yan Wenyuan considered his words for a while, and then said: "Last night, my son heard a news that King Huai came to Beijing this time with the intention of rebelling on your father's birthday."

As soon as his words fell, Emperor Yan's face darkened. He stared at Yan Wenyuan and asked in a cold voice: "Yuan'er, where did you get this news from? Have you verified it?"

Looking up at Emperor Yan, Yan Wenyuan's face was serious, and he replied in a loud voice: "I have already sent people to investigate, this news is indeed true, and the people sent by my ministers have found out that King Huai secretly sent fifty thousand The soldiers and horses are hidden in the 'ghost mountain' outside the city."

"This 'Ghost Mountain' was originally named Mount Wuhuai, but it is a towering mountain outside the city. Because it is shrouded in fog all the year round, and the top of the mountain used to be a mass grave. Once people entered the mountain, they would never be heard from again, so it was named 'Ghost Mountain'."

He stopped to take a look at Emperor Yan's expression, and then, Yan Wenyuan continued: "I think that King Huai knew that the people would not dare to step in easily, so he hid fifty thousand soldiers and horses in the mountains, In this way, even [-] soldiers and horses drilled day and night, it never aroused any attention or suspicion."

After finishing speaking, he took out the list that Luo Yu gave him from his sleeve, handed it to Fuxi, and then said: "These ministers are people who have colluded with Duke Huai. On the day of your birthday, Emperor Huai, you should make peace with Duke Huai, forcing you, forcing you... to abdicate."

Although he covered the last two words vaguely, the overall meaning has been expressed very clearly.

Looking down at the names on the list, Emperor Yan's eyes were cold and stern.

He pondered for a while, and when he looked up again, he directly ordered Yan Wenyuan: "Wen Yuan, you immediately lead the imperial guards to arrest King Huai and these bold officials. If you refuse to follow the order and dare to resist, I will allow you to kill first and then play—"
