The capital, the imperial palace.

Xiao Huangmen bent forward to lead the way: "His Royal Highness King Jing, His Majesty is waiting for you in the hall."

Yan Ke didn't seem to hear the vague anxiety in the little eunuch's tone, and suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Is the emperor's body really buried in the imperial mausoleum?"

Xiao Huangmen was sweating coldly, and hurriedly apologized with a smile: "It's only natural, who dares to desecrate the late emperor's body."

After hearing this, Yan Ke didn't react, and turned to look at Xiao Huangmen: "Your name is..."

"The humble name of this slave is Cao Yi." Xiao Huangmen bent even lower.

Yan Ke nodded immediately: "Cao Yi, as a eunuch, do you know where the late emperor's eunuch Su Qing is?"

Cao Yi: "Your Highness redeemed, when the first emperor died and Empress Shuxian committed suicide, the palace was in chaos. I really don't know where this Eunuch Su has gone."

Empress Shuxian was the woman who had been neglected by Emperor Jiaxing when he was alive. She said she was virtuous and she destroyed Su Qing by herself, and said she was not virtuous and died for the emperor.Yan Ke thought of something and sneered: "Forget it, let's go."

Cao Yi hurriedly quickened his pace as if he had been greatly favored.

In the main hall, Cao Yi pushed open the door and Yan Ke walked in immediately, and stood with his back facing him, dressed in bright yellow.

"I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Yan Ke knelt on one knee and bowed his head and said loudly.

The man turned around slowly, revealing a gentle face: "Free from courtesy."

Yan Ke stood up and faced Yan Ju directly. This was the first time since the new emperor succeeded to the throne that he had seen the legendary "big brother" up close.

There is a rumor among the common people that "a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle", and there is some truth in this saying.Yanju was always the most mediocre one in the crowd when she didn't sit on the emperor's seat. There was Yanji in the front and Yanke in the back. Even if Yanhui didn't have any advantages, at least she still had her mother's family.

Yan Ke had thought about who would take the throne back then, but no matter how much he guessed, he couldn't guess Yan Ju.

Now that Yanju is on the throne, the bright yellow dragon robe makes him taller and mightier, and the crown casts a shadow on his face, making it hard to see the emperor's expression, and he is somewhat muttering in his heart.

Yanju smiled faintly: "Speaking of which, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time."

Yan Ke said in his heart that before you ascended the throne, you often came to King Jing's mansion as a guest, and said face-to-face: "Not long ago, I contracted a cold and complained of illness and could not go to court. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"We are all brothers, so why be so unfamiliar." Yanju said, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "I see that the emperor's illness should be almost cured this time."

Yan Ke didn't speak, her heart froze slightly.

Seeing that he didn't open his mouth, Yan Ju's face became a little gloomy: "I think the emperor also knows about the uprising on Chu Ziyuan Jiangnan East Road. General Wei led an army and failed to defeat him. Now the courtiers are discussing who to replace it with." Commander, I have also been thinking hard for a long time."

At this point, Yan Ke couldn't continue to remain silent: "The minister's martial arts are mediocre and he has never read military books, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on a big job."

Yanju: "When the father was alive, he repeatedly praised your martial arts skills, but the emperor is too modest. It just so happens that the army will return to the court for rectification soon, and I will appoint you as a general when the time comes."

This is a declarative sentence that does not give Yan Ke the right to refuse. If it were another prince, Yan Ji or Yan Yun would probably admit it with gritted teeth, but Yan Ke would not.When Emperor Jiaxing made him king, he didn't see how flattering Yan Ke was to him.

"I'm suffering from an old illness, so forgive me." Yan Ke said indifferently, although he looked at Yanju on his face, the thoughts in his mind couldn't help but drift farther and farther.He remembered that Zhou Qingyan seemed to be refusing to marry Zhaohe here too.

Emperor Jiaxing punished him to kneel on the Heavenly Master's Platform, but was later carried out of the palace by Chu Heng.At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were quite shocked, shocked by the national teacher, and shocked by the guard who could freely enter and leave the palace.Unexpectedly, these two people actually rebelled on Jiangnan East Road today.

Yan Ke couldn't hold back a slight smile.

"Presumptuous!" Yan Ju slammed the table, "I am the Son of Heaven, how dare you disobey me!"

Yan Ke: "Your Majesty, in ancient times, the king of Qi had a saying: Those who can stab the widow's fault face-to-face will be rewarded; those who write a letter to remonstrate with the widow will be rewarded in the middle; Back then, it was a good story that the ministers came to remonstrate."

"Is it possible that His Majesty's succession will block the mouth of the world?"

Yanju was speechless, her eyes darkened.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Ke couldn't help but slander: Zhou Qingyan refused to marry Zhaohe back then, but he didn't even find a reason. Now I have given a reason and you are still so aggressive.

Yan Ke never thought that Zhou Qingyan's tone back then was not as arrogant as he is now.

Yan Ju was so angry that his face was livid and he continued to inhale: "The king has to die, and now I order you to lead the army, what right do you have to refuse?"

Yan Ke sneered slightly: "The minister's old disease relapses and I am afraid that I will die during the march."

This was a blatant threat, and Yanju endured for a long time before she could bear the urge to ask someone to throw Yan Ke into the prison, and she did not say a word.

Seeing this, Yan Ke cupped his hands: "The minister resigns."

His guards were all waiting at the gate of the palace, seeing him coming out intact, they quickly greeted him: "Is your lord alright?"

Yan Ke got into the carriage and lowered the curtain: "It's okay, he dare not catch me."

After the new emperor came to power, Yan Hui died for no reason. Empress Dowager Qian made a big fuss in court to claim justice for her son.

Yan Ju is also a formidable person, and somehow she used some method to completely cut off the clues. Empress Dowager Qian couldn't find a clue and could only let it go.

If something happened to Yan Ke or other princes at this time, Empress Dowager Qian would never let go of this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Yan Ke couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Such a mess, there are people clamoring for it."

The guard laughed beside him: "After all, he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord."

Yan Ke sneered.Ninth Five Lord?To put it nicely, it is "wake up and hold the power of the world and get drunk on the knees of beauties", but to put it bluntly, behind the power is bondage, and all the beauties around are harboring ulterior motives.

"Today the prince and the new emperor have torn faces, will the emperor catch us?" The guard was a little worried.

Yan Ke glanced at him when he heard the words: "What is this king doing? Tell the people below to pack up and prepare to leave Beijing in batches."

The throne of money and wealth is nothing but a fleeting moment to him, and he doesn't want to get involved in all kinds of things in the court, or even in the world.

The only person who wants to support him is now by Zhou Qingyan's side, and I don't know how he is doing on Jiangnan East Road?

It's strange to say that with the strength of Zhou and Chu, they can live a carefree life no matter where they are, so they want to be in this muddy water.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootle... " there was a faint cry from outside the carriage.With a thought in his heart, Yan Ke turned his hand to lift the curtain of the car, and in the distance was a ragged woman kneeling on the ground.

Holding a dirty bowl in her hand, she was crying to a certain little eunuch: "Please do me a favor, you don't want all the food left and right, so give it to my daughter."

The little eunuch kicked the man over, turned his hand and dumped the leftovers and said viciously: "You are worthy of being a commoner, this is what the emperor has eaten!"

Yan Ke saw that it was the bird's nest that was placed on Yanju's table just now. It is said that the rare blood bird's nest is especially nourishing for blood.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The man stared at it for a while, then turned his eyes away: "Let's go."

The carriage gradually moved away, and those screams and wailing gradually disappeared.

As soon as Yan Ke left in the palace, Yan Ju stood there silently for a long time, and suddenly broke the teacup!

Click!bang.Most of the dragon chairs fell to the ground, making the maids outside tremble in fright.

"What are you shaking!" Cao Yi came from not far away and stared at the court ladies, "Both of them should be clever."

The court ladies knelt tremblingly and dared not answer.

Cao Yi didn't want to waste time on them, so he opened the door and walked in: "Your Majesty."

When Yanju turned her head, her eyes were red, and her eyeballs were kicked like copper bells, staring at Cao Yi viciously.

It was as if the person who opposed him just now was Cao Yi.

Cao Yi bowed and knelt down with a plop, silent.

The scene was quiet for a long time before Yanju slowly regained his senses: "What did you find?"

Cao Yi still knelt but raised his head: "At that time, the slaves who betrayed the second prince have already been dealt with, and the queen mother will never find any clues."

Yanju said "huh", "What about Yanke?"

Cao Yi smiled: "As far as I know, His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't care for fame and wealth, but a year ago, he married a young man as a concubine, and the three matchmakers and six hires were quite lively."

"There is also a woman in the eastern suburbs who is pregnant with King Jing's heir, and it is said that she is about to give birth." Cao Yi's voice was sharp, so he was used to lowering his voice.

Yanju held her hand tightly: "You can't let the emperor's heir go abroad, let Dongchang go, and bring him back. As for that young man..."

Cao Yi added: "That man is the elder brother of the former national teacher, and he should be on Jiangnan East Road at this moment."

Hearing the word Yanju, the former national teacher, he remembered Zhou Qingyan who was famous all over the world in the capital, and the corners of his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

"Send someone smarter to go there and tie him back." Yanju finally said.

It is not easy to welcome people to the capital on Jiangnan East Road, but Yanju also wants to try.

After all, there are not too many hostages, and he is also prepared if the woman in the eastern suburbs dies and dies twice.

Cao Yi lowered his head: "The servant obeys the order, and the servant resigns."

Before she could stand up, Yanju suddenly said, "Cao Yi, how long have you been with me?"

"It's been ten years since His Majesty said it." Cao Yi said.

Ten years ago, all the princes in the palace came to choose the little Huangmen who was close to him, and Yanju, as the eldest prince, was the first to choose him.

Later, the people who were picked up by the third prince showed off in front of him every day, saying that the eldest prince was not favored and had mediocre abilities, so he would be a prince in this life.

And the third prince will most likely become the Ninety-Five Supreme in the future.

Now, the third prince is under house arrest in the mansion without knowing his life or death, but he has risen steadily and become a great eunuch.

Yanju looked at Cao Yi with meaningful eyes.

Cao Yi lowered his head even lower: "Your Majesty, I've been watching how difficult you have been in the past ten years. I helped you solve the second prince, and I will always have one heart with you."

Yanju then withdrew her eyes: "Go down. Ask someone to bring... over here."

Cao Yi: "The servant obeys."

An inconspicuous corner of the palace.Two or three eunuchs walked quickly through the flowers and opened the door on the rockery.

It turned out to be a dark room inside.It is estimated that this dark room has been excavated not long ago, and the two walls are still a little rough.

There was a man inside, whose face could not be seen clearly in a Confucian robe, his hands and feet were handcuffed, and he couldn't help crying when he was stabbed by the sunlight outside.

"Please." The little eunuch said standing outside.

The author says:

Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and the road has frozen bones from Du Fu's "Five Hundred Characters of Yonghuai from Beijing to Fengxian"

A group of ministers, officials and people can stab the faults of the widow...from "Zou Ji satirizes the king of Qi and accepts advice".

By the way, is there any cutie who wants to guess who this person belongs to? It's very easy to guess!
