One of the passers-by

Xue Yan would not believe the rumor that he could turn against a county king with just one account book.

Unlike those outsiders who don't know the background and only know rumors, Xue Yan followed Xu You and others, and personally sorted out Xiande's account books from nine years to the present. It is a crime of dirty hands and evil deeds by some officials.However, these accounts did not specify what happened to King Yanjun.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if it is specified in the accounts that Yan County King embezzled military pay and food, so what?For ordinary officials, these crimes of corruption may be fatal, but for a heroic and famous county king who was responsible for the founding of the country, these crimes can be regarded as "stained and clean name" at best.In this case, even if there is an impeachment document handed to His Majesty, considering the feats and prestige of the county king, as well as the views of the government and the public on "the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog cooks", His Majesty will generally not pursue it too much.

Therefore, in history, many vassal kings and feudal officials stationed outside used this method of self-defilement to win the trust of the emperor. The deeds of embezzlement of military salaries and supplies by the king of Yanjun can be seen everywhere, and no one has been dealt with in any way——

Unless His Majesty and the imperial court are determined to cut the vassal and remove their posts, otherwise, this kind of behavior is a kind of tacit understanding for both parties that cannot be announced, and it is a kind of unspoken historical rule established by convention.

So the reason why Yan Junwang ended up like this is very simple——

It must have angered the biggest boss, that is, a certain His Majesty who has just ascended the throne.

I was killed as an example to the monkey~

Sure enough, in the various conversations with Xu You afterwards, Xu You also deliberately popularized the King of Yan County with Xue Yan——

King Zhuang Yi of Yanjun, whose real name was Lu Yi, when Xiande voted for Chu in the third year, the Supreme Emperor loved his martial arts, named him King of Yan, and gave him the surname Zhuang.It was later renamed Zhuang Yi.

Zhuang Yi, the king of Yanjun, is rebellious and rebellious by nature.In the early years, because of his friendship with Prince Yin, he was quite at odds with the present, and even fought with the old ministers of His Majesty's Qiandi when he attacked Liu Heida, which was very humiliating.The Taishanghuang was also quite angry, but it was not easy to get into the details because of the high merits of the King of Yanjun.

Later, His Majesty launched the Xuanwumen Incident, killed Prince Yin and King Qi, and ascended the throne as a great treasure.As a former minister of Prince Yin, King Nayan felt that he was not on good terms with His Majesty, and was terrified in his heart.It is even more dissatisfied to see that His Majesty has reduced the title of king since he ascended the throne, and how he has ruled over the old officials of Wude.He often even uttered nonsense in front of his subordinates and slandered the imperial government's decrees.Blatantly opposed to His Majesty's will...

When Xu You said this, he couldn't help defending Emperor Yong'an: "However, Your Majesty is magnanimous and has the style of a benevolent man. In fact, he didn't care about the previous faults of King Yan. Even when reducing the title of king, although King Yan He was demoted to the King of Yanjun, but Shishiyi had [-] more households than in Xiande's time, and he was named the first-rank Kaifu Yitong Sansi. It can be seen that His Majesty attaches great importance to it. I just didn't expect the King of Yanjun to be so narrow-minded. .”

Hearing Xu You's words, Xue Yan nodded in agreement, and said, "It's really narrow-minded. I haven't seen him before, and he actually found someone to write an article to scold me!"

Hearing this, Xu You smiled and said, "You are not wronged in this matter. Who told you to help me with the accounts when you are idle? You contributed the double-entry bookkeeping method to find out so many omissions. I will naturally go to the treasury to check according to the accounts you gave me. I searched and traced back to the source, and naturally found the head of King Yan. After finding out that King Yan was greedy for ink, food, grass and military equipment, he even smuggled it. Turks, in exchange for war horses, in order to strengthen themselves, to plot evil deeds..."

This time Xue Yan understood it completely.It turned out that his crime was equivalent to laying a gun.

It's just that the king of Yan County offended His Majesty earlier, and was dissatisfied with His Majesty's move to reduce the title of king, and he had long since turned back with fear and resentment.As for Your Majesty, Mingli's magnanimity and benevolence did not take it seriously, and he even comforted him softly. In fact, he sent his confidant An to enter Youzhou early on, always keeping an eye on King Yan's tricks.

The two sides come and go, confront each other in secret, and in the end, it is His Majesty who is superior. He, Xue Yan, made a double-entry bookkeeping method by mistake, and found out that the officials in the Youzhou camp were greedy for ink. The handle of the knife was handed to Xu You, so Xu You and others followed the clues to find out that the king of Yan Jun had embezzled the military equipment and sold the war horses.

Anyway, it must have been said so in the brochure of the Hebei Road Marching Chief.After the news leaked out, King Yanjun, who was already very tough in nature, simply did not stop doing anything, rose up and joined the Turks.As for why Xue Yan was scolded bloody in the essay——

Xue Yan thought of some officials and generals who wanted to make friends with him a few days ago, and he pretended not to understand the things that he didn't know. Combined with what Xu You said about the temper of Yan County King, maybe the County King is dissatisfied with him for "not knowing how to praise" , so he also scolded him once in the call to action, and he had the right to vent his anger on himself.

In other words, the king of Yan County was basically forced to rebel by His Majesty, but the court could not say that.The reason for the rebellion mentioned by the king of Yanjun in his proclamation is also that His Majesty is mean and ungrateful, and he used the emperor to usurp power. He wanted to avenge Prince Yin, but he just scolded him incidentally. It landed on Xue Yan's head.after all--

It's hard to say that His Majesty is deliberately trying to force the county king back, right?

Xue Yan secretly choreographed for a while, and suddenly thought that the bloody plot of the crooked hit is also fresh, and the audience must also like to watch it.

Xu You, who was sitting across from the table, looked at Xue Yan whose expression was changing, and shook his head with some headaches.

This Xue Yan is clever and smart, and has a good temper.It's a pity that people are a bit stupid, and the origin is also secretive.If such a person really came to Duke Wei and Princess Pingyang, would it be good or bad?

Thinking of this, Xu You let out a dull breath, and began to persuade: "It's okay to hit the right thing in front of this matter. The chief of the army has sent the papers for the meritorious service to Chang'an. Since you have made a name for yourself in the letter of King Yan Son, it is also a good thing. Presumably your name is also included in His Majesty's reward this time."

Xue Yan heard the words, hehe said: "Really, what kind of official can I be appointed?"

Xu You choked for it, and said angrily, "You still have to be an official. Da Chu's official is so easy to do. At most, I will reward you with some money."

Xue Yan curled his lips disapprovingly, thought for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Then I 'forced' King Yan this time, what will His Majesty and the court do? Shouldn't I be held accountable?"

Xu You smiled, and said, "Since it is a reward, how can you pursue your fault? You have contributed a lot by presenting the double-entry bookkeeping method, and you have contributed a lot in finding out the corruption of ink in the Youzhou camp. As for the conspiracy of King Yanjun ... He himself is guilty of being a thief, and when we found out that he was treasonous, he led the army to join the enemy hastily. The reason why he insulted the Lord in the letter was nothing but anger. Yan'er is also loyal to his duty, can he be guilty? "

After a pause, Xu You said again: "The king of Yan County conspired to rebel, and His Majesty sent the Duke of Zhen and the Duke of Lu to lead the army to attack. The imperial army will arrive in Youzhou in a few days. There will be a lot of people at that time, so you have to be more careful. Don't act rashly."

Xue Yan gave a "cut" in his heart, and said in his heart that I am still acting frivolously. You really have never seen someone who just after crossing becomes a king and dominates, wishing that the tiger's body would shake, and all the beautiful boys would bow down under the crotchless robe.

Seeing Xue Yan's disapproval, Xu You hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a gentle smile: "This time the imperial army is attacking the Yan thief, and the leaders of the Duke of Zhen and Duke of Lu are the father of Ziqi, and the other is Jiang Hei. Father of Charcoal. You just need to remember that in front of Lord Zhen Guo, you must not mention the matter of martial arts and horse bow..."

When Xu You said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered in front of Xue Yan: "Back then, the Yan thief and His Majesty were at odds, and the target of the fight in the camp was Zhen Guogong. Zhen Guogong was not good at martial arts, and he was very popular at the time. Humiliation. Because of this, Lord Zhen is quite taboo about this. Be careful when you meet him."

Before Xue Yan had time to digest the fact that "the leading generals are all fathers", he was shocked by Xu You's last gossip.

Just now, when Xu You was telling about the old affairs of King Yan, he had a discord with His Majesty, and once fought with His Majesty's old officials, and the deeds of severe humiliation were vivid.Xue Yan didn't take it seriously.Now one of the parties who heard the old grudge is Wei Ziqi's father...

Xue Yan blinked his eyes in disbelief, and said suspiciously: "No way, General Wei has superb martial arts skills and outstanding achievements. He has accumulated military merits to rank three at a young age... No matter how poor his father is in martial arts, he will not... ..."

"Yan'er's words are wrong." Xu You waved his hand mysteriously, and said with a narrow smile: "As the saying goes, there is a difference between the ruler and the advantage, and it is a fact that brother Ziqi's martial arts are superb, but the martial arts of Lord Zhen Guo It’s so-so. Not to mention the king of Yan County who is so powerful in the world with his military achievements, even my Aye, who has no power to restrain the chicken, has a [-]% chance of winning against the Duke of Shangzhen. So the first son Brother Qi joined the army as a young man with outstanding military exploits. There are actually many rumors in the market that the reason is that Duke Zhen suffered from poor martial arts skills, so he wants to kill his son—cough cough..."

Today was the right time. Jiang Han and Wei Ziqi, who had just returned from patrolling outside the city with their soldiers, raised the curtain to enter the account. Looking at Xu You, who was beating his chest and coughing violently, Jiang Han gloated and said with a gloating smile, "You little boy, you must be talking about people again." His bad words were choked on by his saliva."

Wei Ziqi, who has always been calm and solemn, frowned, looked at the shochu on the food table and said indifferently: "It is a rule in the army that you are not allowed to drink alcohol, and San Lang, you broke the military rules again. At that time, you will be impeached and sent to the tent of the general manager of the march to receive your punishment. Say I didn't warn you."

Xu You waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm happy today, so drink a few glasses of soju to celebrate."

After finishing speaking, he winked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan watched his nose, nose, mouth and heart, bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Han frowned and said, "It's fine if you want to drink, you have to drag Mr. Xue Xiaolang to do something. He is only a little older, how can he drink..."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to drink up the wine on the food table, wiped his mouth and said, "Why don't you come to me, and I can have a good drink with you!"

Xue Yan looked at the wine glass that was suddenly emptied, and was speechless again.Turning to Xu You, he said, "I'm going to Huotouying."

Xu You was stunned by Xue Yan's unconstrained style, blinked blankly, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xue Yan said, "I'm going to Huotou Camp. The food in the barracks is too bad. I'm not used to it. I'm going to cook something delicious."

Everyone heard the words and looked at each other again.
