Ye Xuan used to find it strange that even if the Bohai royal family borrowed troops from Daliang as a means of making peace, there was no need for the eldest princess to come in person, and after the eldest princess married into the palace, she was not conspicuous, and it was quite different from what was described in the biography. Ye Xuan also thought it was, this kind of woman is not good at fighting for favor, and she feels depressed being imprisoned in the small world of the palace.

Now that Concubine Xian has uttered the method of stealing the day and changing the marriage, the doubts in Ye Xuan's mind suddenly cleared up.

"Since I was selected to start the Spring and Autumn Banquet of Concubine Yue, why did your empress call me here? Is she planning to plant a spoil on me?" Ye Xuan asked, but he was calm and relaxed.

"If I wanted to plant spoils on you, I wouldn't deliberately push the alkyne away." Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Feng Zijian's 30 troops are coming to the city to watch, this throne is very hot, and whoever sits on it will Death, except you."

Ye Xuan was noncommittal, raised his eyebrows and looked at her and then at Huang Weiren, understanding, "You plan to embrace me as emperor so that my uncle can withdraw from the army and keep Ye Liang from perishing?"

"why?"

Ye Xuan was a little puzzled. Because of the emperor's selfishness, the Huang family was put on an unwarranted label and ransacked the house. Huang Weiren was the only one left. He was tortured and humiliated in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and finally became an eunuch and completely cut off his future; the younger sister of the concubine Xian married the palace His life was not good. He investigated the Jiangnan private salt case and was directly or indirectly poisoned by the emperor. He was only in his early twenties when he died.

With such blood and deep hatred, he still wants to protect Daliang from subjugation?

Looking at the faces of the two of them, one is colder than the other, so it turns out that the knife has a bean curd heart?Ye Xuan couldn't help but sneered.

Huang Weiren was silent for a moment, and said with red eyes and a hoarse voice, "I am from Daliang."

"Even if a foolish lord kills hundreds of people in my Huang family, and Huang is haunted by evil spirits in his sleep every day, he wants to avenge his revenge by eating his flesh, drinking his blood thirsty, peeling his skin, convulsing his tendons, and smashing his bones into ashes! But the people of Daliang are innocent, the people of Beijing are innocent, and the families of thousands of courtiers are innocent."

"I, the son of the Huang family, was born in the fertile soil of Daliang from generation to generation. I grew up eating rice and grain in Daliang. How can I slaughter people when you despise me? If it is really for my own selfish desires to do everything to overthrow the country, then what is the difference between me and the people who bully me and humiliate me?"

"Huang Weiren would rather die in battle than Bei Rong's iron hooves trample on our Daliang land and kill our Daliang people."

At the end of his speech, his back straightened, his eyes were filled with blood, his voice was deafening, his eyes felt dizzy for a while, he fell backwards, and was supported by Zhao An with a few steps.

The eunuch wiped his eyes and sighed, patted his back and helped him sit down.

Ye Xuan looked at the two of them in silence, even if they were born and died on the frontline for seven years, he still couldn't empathize with these people.

He didn't understand Pei Chang's great ambition to drive all the Rong and Di to protect the rivers and mountains, he also didn't understand Huang Mang's absolute loyalty to the front line and never back down, and he didn't understand Huang Weiren and Zhao An's strong sense of belonging to Daliang.

Ye Xuan and Tai'an went out with the army at the beginning, it was only Feng Luo's request, and in order to sharpen their martial arts, they led the army together, and they never acted impulsively.

At the beginning, there was an ambush that was very dangerous. Feng Luo was injured and was used as a bait to lure the soldiers to attack, and drove them to the ambush area. The people led by Ye Xuan and the people led by Huang Mang were in ambush. Obviously he came here by fleeing, but he yelled that Feng Luo's head was chopped off and dedicated to Da Khan. Huang Mang was so worried, knowing that it was probably intentional, he still gritted his teeth and led his troops to attack.

The soldiers in their team were also very disturbed, but Ye Xuan and Tai'an didn't move. The cat seemed to be dead on the mountain. When the most suitable time came, they rushed up and killed it, ignoring Huang Mang's advice to go back to the camp first. According to the words of the chief general, put on the armor of those soldiers and go to the camp of the soldiers.

Feng Luo said that they were calm, and criticized Huang Mang and other five generals who came back impulsively, and praised Ye Xuan and Tai'an for their stability in the face of danger.

Ye Xuan always thought that Tai'an's expression was indifferent and empathetic, but at that moment he suddenly realized that they are actually the same.

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze from Huang Weiren, looked at Concubine Xian, "What about you?"

Concubine Xian: "My lips are dead and my teeth are cold. If Ye Liang dies, I, Bo Hai, will be next."

Ye Xuan was unmoved, "If I remember correctly, he has also been in Bohai for several years, and he is an old friend with you."

"That's right." Concubine Xian smiled, and said in a flat tone, "It's just that things are easy to change, and time has changed. How can the friendship in the past be worth the time? I'm afraid that now I'm holding a knife on the neck of his wife and children." , he won't even twitch his brows, let alone me who has only been friends with him for a few years?"

"..." Ye Xuan was quite speechless, "Since you said that his wife and children are useless, why do you think it is useful to have me as emperor?"

"Because he owes his sister a life." Concubine Xian spit out a secret leisurely, "The child's blood is not only able to attract insects, but if taken, it can kill a person within a few breaths, creating the illusion of bleeding to death. "

Ye Xuan raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were cold, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Concubine Xian met his gaze without the slightest hesitation, "I don't need to lie to you."

……

In the early morning, the death knell of Putuo Temple rang first, and then all the temples at the foot of the capital began to ring their death knells.

Boom-boom-boom—[-] knocks announced the death of the emperor and the end of a dynasty.

Xie Yushu woke up suddenly, and just sat up when she was pulled back again. Ye Xuan turned over and pressed on him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sleep for a while."

Xie Yushu fell back on the bed, was pressed under the quilt and couldn't break free for a while. He listened carefully to the death bell, and said in a daze, "Your Majesty..."

A hand covered his eyes, blocking the light in front of his eyes and blocking Xie Yushu's words.

The young man's voice was close to his ears, he took a few breaths lightly and heavily, and then said softly, "Yushu, go to sleep."

Xie Yushu didn't know what happened, but he felt that Ye Xuan's state was not right. He lay quietly on the bed, and fell asleep again after lying down.

In the winter month of the 31st year of Xuande, Emperor Liang passed away in Qianyuan Palace at the age of 55. He was named Xuanwu. The noble concubine of the Xian Emperor obeyed the edict and supported Xiao Wang Ye Xuan as the crown prince. Wang, King Xiao ascended the throne in the spring of the following year, known as Emperor Liang Xiao in history, and changed his reign name to Qinghe.

Xie Yushu didn't know that Ye Xuan had become the crown prince, the new emperor who was about to ascend the throne, until Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty knelt outside the Qianyuan Palace and the concubine Xianhuang came out with rice paper.

And the new emperor knelt straight at the front, playing with the blood jade beads in his hands with lowered eyes, completely pretending not to hear.

Zhao An glanced at Concubine Xian, hesitatingly stepped forward and whispered, "His Royal Highness Xiao Wang, I have accepted the order."

"What purpose?" Ye Xuan asked casually.

All the officials knelt under the steps and looked at each other, not knowing what King Xiao meant.

"Your Majesty's will." Concubine Xian took a step forward, threw the will in front of him, folded her sleeves and said softly, "It's covered with a jade seal."

Ye Xuan didn't look at it, and said directly, "It's fake."

There was a commotion downstairs, Xie Yushu was stunned, Xu Guo, the oldest veteran of the three dynasties, made a public announcement, stooped forward, picked up the will and stared at it several times, making up his mind to find out if there is something wrong, But in a daze, his eyes almost popped out, but he didn't see anything.

Seeing him watching for so long, the other courtiers thought there was something wrong, so they also moved over to look at it one by one. Xie Yushu also stepped forward, passed the crowd and took the will in their hands.

He had the highest official rank and was also the prime minister. He was most familiar with His Majesty's handwriting when dealing with memorials on weekdays. His judgment was the most reliable, so naturally no one would dare to compete with him.

Xie Yushu read it carefully.

Concubine Xian lowered her eyes and asked Xu Guogong with a sneer, "I don't know if the Duke of the country can see anything? Is this a forged edict of my palace?"

Xu Guogong was unwilling to hold back a sentence for a long time, "Nothing."

Xie Yushu closed it and handed it to others, and said affirmatively, "It is true that the seal is a real jade seal, and the words are also His Majesty's handwriting."

He stopped there, but did not say that the edict was true.

Ye Xuan turned his head and glanced at him, meeting Xie Yushu's gaze, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

The jade seal is real, and the handwriting is also real, but it was not written by the emperor.

The reason why Xie Yushu was busy every day until late at night was because the emperor was so ill that it was difficult for him to even hold a pen. Xie Yushu wrote most of the replies. Ye Xuan also met him a few times. At that time, he joked that His Majesty was running out of time. Reluctantly drink and speak carefully.

This edict was forged, and they knew it well.But other people who had read the will did not know, they nodded one by one, some even couldn't recognize the emperor's handwriting at all, and agreed with their eyes closed.And they really couldn't think of the benefit of Xianfei who obviously had His Royal Highness Chen, but helped His Royal Highness Xiao to forge the imperial decree.

In the end, the edict was brought back by Zhao An, sang it loudly, and bowed to Ye Xuan, "His Royal Highness, accept the edict."

Ye Xuan raised his eyes, his gaze shifted from Zhao An's face to that of Concubine Xian.

Suddenly, horns blared outside, flags fluttered, and the sound of horseshoes trampling uniformly seemed to shake the city wall. Amid the loud shouts of the eunuch "The Great General Wang Triumph", a middle-aged general in black armor and red robe held his sword and came from outside the palace. come.

He has a handsome face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he doesn't look like a general who marches and fights, but a scholar who has read poetry and books.While everyone was watching, he walked up the steps with heavy steps and knelt down beside Ye Xuan on one knee.

"Swipe" - the cold light came out of the sheath, the sword body sank an inch below the bluestone slab, and the fierce murderous aura suddenly burst out made people's hearts palpitate.

Ye Xuan frowned, "Uncle!"

He heard the man speak loudly to Qianyuan Palace, "My minister Feng Zijian fulfilled his mission and returned to Beijing triumphantly with an army of 30."

Feng Zijian!

Some of the courtiers leaned back in shock, some gasped, and some looked at the kneeling person in horror, and those who were closer, such as Xu Guogong and others, heard Ye Xuan's overshadowed "" uncle".

General Wang Fengluo is Feng Zijian, the son of Feng Biyang, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River.

The audience was silent, even the sound of breathing was held back.

Huang Weiren, who had been hiding behind all this time, suddenly knelt down and slammed his head on the ground, "The crown prince please accept the order!"

"The crown prince please accept the order!" The courtiers from Congxin reacted and kowtowed to petition.

When the princes rushed into the palace on horseback, they heard this scene.

Feng Luo took the will and forcefully stuffed it into Ye Xuan's hands.

The fourth prince's eyes were about to burst.
