Reincarnation of the powerful minister

That night, Su Yan slept very restlessly.

In the first half of the night, I slept lightly and had many dreams. In the dream, a vague figure stood by the window and never turned around.He wanted to step forward and hug him, but he woke up with a single step, and repeated this over and over again.

In the second half of the night, I simply suffered from insomnia completely, tossing and turning just couldn't fall asleep.

Mrs. Tang became cold and her feet were icy.Ah Zhui hasn't come back yet, so I'm worried.Political affairs are complicated and annoying.Shichiro was being watched closely, so sad...

Su Yan found many reasons for himself, and his mind was running wild, and finally stayed up until the third watch, getting up, dressing and washing.

Except for holidays, the Chang Dynasty of Fengtianmen is held every day.In order for Mr. Su to go to court in time, Xiaojing and Xiaobei are used to getting up early and are already cooking.Su Yan had nothing to do, he kicked tree trunks in the yard, practicing the only martial art move he knew, "Mandarin Duck Kick with Flowers Hidden at the Bottom of the Leaf".

The court meeting was uneventful, and the officials who had ordered the crown prince to be punished before had collectively lost their memories. Except for the government affairs discussed by the chief officials of the six ministries, there were only two things worth mentioning.

One is that the emperor issued an order to send a group of envoys to Oala with the returned credentials, and the departure time was set in three days.

Another thing is that Prince Yu, who has not been in court for ten thousand years, came earlier than most officials.

When Su Yan was crossing the Jinshui Bridge, he met the King of Yu on a narrow road, and saw that he was wearing a court uniform that he hadn't seen in ordinary times, a leather cap with five colored jade beads and nine slits, a bright red crimson gauze robe, and holding a white jade gui, which made him look extraordinarily dignified.

Not long ago, he just tore his face at the gate of the palace and said "two cleansing", now it is inevitable to be awkward when they meet, Su Yan is hesitating whether to turn around and avoid it, but the other party has already greeted him.He had no choice but to bow and salute: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yu."

At the same time, I am worried that the bridge is full of courtiers passing by, this dog prince should stop talking nonsense.

King Yu just nodded, and replied very dignifiedly: "Su Shaoqing." Then he turned and left.

... just leave?Didn't say a word?Su Yan looked at his back, a little unbelievable.

Having said that, King Yu's complexion seemed to have improved a lot, his eyes were no longer tired and haggard, and he had regained his handsomeness.Not only that, but the lazy and wandering breath that always lingers between the brows seems to have disappeared like the wind blowing away the clouds.

Su Yan thought, King Yu must no longer be troubled by the ecstasy of the flute.Fuyin suffered internal injuries, and was stared at by Ah Zhui, probably too busy to take care of himself; it may also be that King Yu started to investigate the suspect in the mansion, forcing him to stop and go dormant.

In fact, he wanted to say something to King Yu, to see what was going on in the palace, to speculate if Fuyin had any accomplices, and also wanted to remind him about it.But King Yu left decisively, so he couldn't find a chance to speak, so he gave up for the time being.

After the dynasty was over, Su Yan went to Beizhen Fusi Prison.

Deep in the dungeon, the jailer opened the cell door, and Su Yan walked into Yan Chengxue's cell, followed by four murderous imperial guards.

Yan Chengxue was scribbling and correcting the pages full of words when he looked up and saw Su Yan's eyes were cold. One of the guards was still holding a wooden tray with half a glass of wine in his hand, and his face turned pale immediately.

The quivering tip of the pen dripped dots of ink on the page.He took a deep breath, put down his pen and stood up, his expression as calm as ashes, "Your Majesty still wants to kill me?"

With a bit of regret on his face, Su Yan replied: "Received a secret report from the border, Wala is furiously mobilizing his troops, and will send troops south in a few days. The emperor decided to use your head to delay some time so that he can prepare for the battle."

"Half of the war started because of me. I should use my head to sacrifice the flag." Yan Chengxue pursed his bloodless lips, cupped his hands and said, "Xie Su Yushi gave me a ride."

When death was approaching, he became much calmer, no longer harsh and aggressive.

"I would like to lead the death, there is only one request, and I hope Su Yushi will fulfill it."

"You said."

"Don't let Lao Huo know about this matter. Just say, arrange for me to perform other tasks, so that he can work at night without worrying about it. Maybe we will see each other one day in the future."

Su Yan said: "It's not good for you to deceive him like this? Besides, you may not be able to deceive him."

Yan Chengxue smiled wryly: "How long can I be deceived? In the future, when he wakes up, the time has passed. Time is a good medicine to dilute other worries."

Su Yan nodded: "I promise you."

The guard carrying the wooden tray stepped forward.

"I chose strong poison and killed you by entering your throat, so that you will suffer less." Su Yan said.

Yan Chengxue bowed to him again, without further ado, picked up the wine glass on the wooden plate, and drank it down in one gulp.

The wine was extremely bitter, making the root of the tongue astringent and numb, burning all the way from the esophagus into the stomach, causing endless burning pain.Yan Chengxue unfolded his sleeves and fell backwards, vaguely remembering the nursery rhyme sung in his hometown when he was a child:

"The Tartars came, the fire broke out, and the house was burning. The father left, the mother left, and the baby in the hut was taken away."

Yes, he should have been buried in the charred soil of the village with his parents, siblings, but he left his family alone for more than ten years, so he should have left long ago...

The whistling of the wind and snow gradually became clearer, mixed with the faint voice of calling.

"Old Yan, old Yan..."

Yan Chengxue suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the hazy sky with a dazed expression.

Huo Dun's magnified face came into his line of sight from the side, and he said excitedly, "Old Yan, you're awake!"

With his support, Yan Chengxue sat up slowly, and found that he was on the moving scooter. When he looked back, Jingcheng had been left far behind.

The coachman driving the horses wore a bamboo hat and said in a strong Shanxi accent: "All the carriages with carriages have been dispatched, and the carts are just enough. Wait until the next post station to see if there is any replacement."

Yan Chengxue murmured: "I'm still alive?"

Huo Dun replied: "I'm alive, but I just fell asleep for a long time, and I finally woke up."

Yan Chengxue thought of the glass of poisoned wine, and quickly realized that Su Yan had intentionally frightened him and deceived him so badly.

He took out an appointment document, a flag badge, and a note from his pocket, which read:

"The two of you are going to Beiguan. You will join the Xuanfu at night and wait for the orders of the Shangguan. From now on, there will be no retreat. Try to live!"

Yan Chengxue was stunned for a moment, then sneered slightly: "What a Su Yan. Now I have to accept his life."

Huo Dun said: "Su Yushi has one more thing to tell me. He said that your life was not saved by him, but you earned it yourself. If you beg him to live in prison, the cup of drug is really Poisoned wine. 'You can't collect traitors at night, and there is no one who is afraid of death.' He asked you to record this sentence in your training booklet."

Yan Chengxue opened the appointment document, and saw a new name written on it: "Lou Yexue."

"The building boat crosses Guazhou in the night snow, and the iron horses disperse in the autumn wind. The Great Wall is empty, and the temples are already stained in the mirror..." He whispered, "From now on, there will be no more snow in the world. Only Lou Yexue."

Huo Dun scratched his temples, "Then I can't call you Lao Yan anymore. Lao Lou? It doesn't sound good... Lao Ye? It's okay, let's call you Lao Ye!"

The horse-drawn cart gradually drifted away in the cold wind, becoming a small black spot at the end of the world.

"Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you for letting Yan Chengxue go?" In the flower hall of Beizhen Fusi, Shen Qi put a large bowl of hot eight-treasure soup on the table in front of Su Yan.

Su Yan first drank a few mouthfuls of the mutton bone soup base with rice wine, which was delicious and rich, then used chopsticks to push the yam and lotus root slices aside, picked meatballs and quail eggs to eat, and said while eating: "The emperor acquiesced. You won't ask me to take Yan Chengxue's head, the emperor knows that I want to polish him and use him."

Shen Qi also brought a bowl for herself, and sat down to eat with Su Yan.He put the meatballs and quail eggs into the other bowl, and picked up the yam and lotus root slices along the way.

"A civil servant with no power to restrain a chicken, if you let him go to night without accepting him, is he going to die?"

"Yan Chengxue is a scheming poisonous snake. It's not easy to die, not to mention that there is Huo Dun beside him." Su Yan raised his eyes from the mouth of the bowl and looked at Shen Tongzhi, the powerful Jin Yiwei, "Speaking of which, you have no hands. What is the opinion of the civil servants who bind the power of chickens?"

Shen Qi smiled, and stopped deliberately teasing him, and said: "If the civil servant's surname is Su, then I have no objection, not only have no objection, but also let him use as much force as he wants."

Su Yan let out a "tch", and continued to sip the soup with his head buried in the soup, the tips of his middle ears turned red with the hot air.

The last time he went to the prison, he used Huo Dun's life to subdue Yan Chengxue, and deliberately sent the two of them into the night.Yan Chengxue asked, Wala asked for his head by name, how is Su Yushi going to solve it?He replied - I have my own way.

At that time, Su Yan conceived the plan of Li Daitao's stiffness.

He asked Shen Qi for help, and sent Yan Chengxue's picture and graphics to the prisons in various state capitals through Jin Yiwei's spies, looking for similar-looking criminals.

After nearly a month, he finally found a death row inmate in Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong Province, and asked Jin Yiwei to secretly escort him to Beijing.

After the owl's head was nitrated with lime, and then sent to Oala after a long journey, the facial features of the head would inevitably be deformed, and it is normal for it to be slightly different from before life.Besides, among the Wala people who had seen Yan Chengxue at close range, only Altan's bodyguards, most of whom died at the mouth of wolves, and the rest disappeared along with Altan.Even if the Heido shaman went off in person, it would be difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

The justice that Hu Kuo insisted on has already been attached to the letter of credence and sent to him. Yan Chengxue's identity will completely disappear from the Great Ming.Emperor Daming said that the head in the box was his, so it was him.

Su Yan finished eating the soup, put down his chopsticks, and solemnly said to Shen Qi: "Thank you, Qilang."

"On credit together." Shen Qi showed him the tooth marks on her hand, "I will pay back the principal with interest in the future, I will wait."

Su Yan stared at the tooth marks, sure that he didn't bite so deep at all, the spy chief must have gone crazy again and bit himself.Nine times out and thirteen times out, it's a pity not to lend usury!

He rinsed his mouth with water and said, "I'm leaving."

Shen Qi stayed and said: "It's still early, there's still time to go back later."

Su Yan said: "It's not going home, but visiting Li Shangshu."

"Li Chengfeng?" Shen Qi thought about it, "That's right, he is your teacher in name, and he is also the chief assistant of the cabinet. Walking around more will be good for your future official career."

"It's not for hugging my thighs." Su Yan tapped the table with his fingertips, "The emperor summoned me today, and at the end he suddenly said something, telling me to 'take some time to visit Li Shoufu'. There must be a deep meaning in this statement, I guess it has something to do with the crown prince. related."

He got up and put on the cloak, and before leaving, he turned around and said with a smile: "No need to send it away, continue to eat your soup."

Seeing the four imperial guards still waiting at the bottom of the steps, Shen Qi couldn't help frowning and asked: "How long are they going to follow you?"

Su Yan had no choice but to say, "When Ah Zhui comes back, I'll ask the emperor to take these four heavenly kings away. I'll feel uncomfortable if I keep following them like this all day long."

"Jing Hongchai hasn't come back yet? Did this trash Dim Sum elope with Fuyin?"

"—Shichiro."

Shen Qi raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I won't talk anymore. You go."

He watched Su Yan disappear outside the courtyard gate, turned around and sat down at the table, and poured the half bowl of soup that Su Yan left over into his own bowl.Then pick up a piece of crispy lotus root and slowly slice it between the teeth.

It was the sound of corpses being smashed into pieces.

"...I will exchange a big secret with you."

"This secret can turn the world upside down. It may bring you a huge disaster, but it is also a great opportunity. It depends on whether you have the courage to listen."

"...No emperor can tolerate someone who knows his secret. And the moment you hear this secret, you have already been dragged into the water by me."

"You can go and report to the emperor, and then wait for him to kill you one day. You can also continue to contact King Ning and work for him. If he really has a day to take off in the future, you will be rewarded for his merits. Minister, it is rare to be a duke and a marquis."

Feng Qu'e leaned down from behind, and smiled hoarsely and coldly in his ear: "If you are really unmoved, why did you wait for me to tell the name of the contact person before leaving the torture room? ?”
