The Blood Crown

Yan Sikong's expression was a little flustered, and he dodged his gaze when looking at Xie Zhongren.

Xie Zhongren chuckled twice: "The little prince is embarrassing you frequently now. When you marry the princess and become an in-law with him in the future, he still doesn't know how to deal with you."

"...What exactly does the father-in-law want to say?"

"Actually, your majesty ordered us to look for you today."

Yan Sikong scolded in his heart, this dog looked as usual, I am afraid this is not the first time that he falsely preached an imperial decree, what else would he not dare to do?

Yan Sikong made a surprised look: "Your Majesty?"

"You are His Majesty's future son-in-law. His Majesty's heart is towards you. His Majesty was also very angry when he learned that Feng Ye was so domineering, but he couldn't directly reprimand him, so he asked our family to comfort you."

"Your Majesty also knows about this?" Yan Sikong was a little uneasy, "Then... does the princess know?"

"How could the princess know about these trivial matters? Besides, even if she knew, Feng Ye is the princess' cousin, and you are the princess' son-in-law. What do you call her?"

Yan Sikong nodded embarrassingly: "Your Majesty can understand the grievances of the minister, and the minister is satisfied."

"Tsk tsk, Mr. Yan, you have such a temper... so fleshy, no wonder Feng Ye thinks you are easy to bully."

Yan Sikong's face changed slightly.

"Do you want to see Feng Ye's face for the rest of your life, and make the princess look down on you?"

Yan Sikong pursed his lips, but said nothing.

"Don't you want to take revenge?"

Yan Sikong raised his head and said in a deep voice: "What exactly does the father-in-law want this junior to do? You might as well just say it."

"As long as you do a small thing in our family, it will not only allow you to avenge your shame, but also prevent Feng Ye from humiliating you by riding on your head again."

Yan Sikong gritted his teeth: "What's the matter?"

"List the questions." Xie Zhongren squinted his eyes, his eyes were cold, "You have made the most complete preparations for the list of questions, and you have a deeper understanding of the situation in Datong because of Mr. Yan Ge. Only you can come up with the best solution. Poke Feng Jianping's list of titles."

Yan Sikong was stunned, his eyes rolling uneasily.

"Why, dare not do it?" Xie Zhongren sneered, "Feng Ye treats you as a prostitute first, then as a coachman, and in the future he may trample you like a cow or a horse. He is the son of Prince Jingyuan. What does he want to do to you? , what to do to you."

"Grandfather...don't talk..." Yan Sikong staggered back two steps, "I can't do such a thing behind my teacher's back."

"Old Yan Ge won't know." Xie Zhongren took a step closer, and said in that old and gloomy voice, "No one knows, you just need to give the title to our family, and no one will notice."

Yan Sikong said anxiously: "However, I have already handed over the list of questions to Liu Shangshu, and Liu Shangshu has also submitted it to the cabinet and His Majesty for review, it is impossible to change it."

"You don't need to worry about it." Xie Zhongren said with a sinister smile, "Our family will not tell anyone, so no one will know that you wrote the title, Liu An doesn't know, Yan Zilian doesn't know, Feng's family doesn't know, even They suspect, and there is no evidence, but soon, our family will definitely avenge you."

Yan Sikong pondered silently, but did not speak for a long time.

"Master Yan, you can take this chance. Think about it, even if you endure it today, what about tomorrow? What about in the future? One day the crown prince ascends the throne, and the Feng family is so powerful that it will definitely threaten the royal family. Your Majesty also wants to People of Jiangshan, whether public or private, you should help the imperial court reduce Datong's armaments."

"Your Majesty, do you really mean that?" Yan Sikong looked confused and hesitant.

"Your Majesty has long regarded you as one of your own family members, which is why we have made our family tell you the truth." Xie Zhongren coughed softly, "Master Yan, our family will remind you again that your greatest reliance and only master , not Yan Zilian, but His Majesty. Your Majesty will remember your kindness."

Yan Sikong hurriedly cupped his hands: "Sharing Your Majesty's worries is the duty of a minister."

Xie Zhongren nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you understand."

Yan Sikong clenched his fists tightly: "Your junior can... come up with three questions and mix them into the existing questions. I will dictate, and my father-in-law will write it down. I don't know about this. What happens next has nothing to do with me."

Xie Zhongren laughed and said, "Be very cautious, good!"

Yan Sikong took a deep breath, and spoke out the list of questions that had been brewed for a long time.For the assessment of senior officials above the second rank, the questions must be based on the actual achievements of the person. If the questioner intentionally makes things difficult, he will specifically ask the wrong place, and will deliberately dig a hole to make the answerer embarrassing in front of the emperor. These are exactly what Xie Zhongren wants.

Of course, Yan Sikong also left behind. If Yan Zilian failed to impeach Liu An and Emperor Zhaowu insisted on using this list of questions for Feng Jianping's assessment, some of the content may deviate from the actual situation, and a little scrutiny will reveal it.

Seeing that Xie Zhongren successfully took the bait, Yan Sikong felt no joy at all. Yan Zilian's plan was to kill one thousand enemies and destroy eight hundred. Good countermeasure.

Due to the growing fear of being gradually wiped out by the darkness, Yan Sikong even had the urge to kill Xie Zhongren directly. Zhongren, the more he felt the strength of this person, just wanting to protect himself in this storm was about to exhaust all of them.

When he left the harem, Yan Sikong felt a chill on his back. It was the sweat from him. After being run over by the cold wind, it turned into a layer of frost that stuck to his skin. The shivering made his scalp numb.

Yan Sikong thought all the way, if Yan Zilian really succeeds in impeachment, then what?

At most, it was only a solution to the urgent need, but Emperor Zhaowu would not give up the idea of ​​reducing Datong's armaments, and Xie Zhongren would not stop his encroachment on rights, and would definitely find other ways, and they might not be prepared.

Solving Liu An can only suspend the crisis, but not really solve it. If they take this lightly, they will be finished. If they want to survive this catastrophe completely, the root cause must be traced back to the eunuch, that is, Xie Zhongren.

Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes, his gaze was gloomy.He understood Feng Jianping's hesitation and Yan Zilian's worry, but any sensible person should be very clear in his heart that helping the crown prince up is their only hope.
