Liang Jianyan

When Yan Chen learned of Sima Shen's deployment of troops, he made a plan - it was really an unwise choice to confront Sima Shen's 2000 troops head-on with [-] troops.Besides, although Liang Xuanliang has only one thousand machine army left, this thousand machine army is the most powerful of the three armies in front of the palace, so it should not be underestimated.

Therefore, he asked Zou Bingxian to lead a thousand troops to ambush near the river in Yizhou - Yizhou was flooded before, and the river was only repaired, and many places had not been reinforced.And Sima Shen's grain storage warehouse and the place where the army is stationed are in the lower part of the river. As long as the reinforcement of the upper part of the river is destroyed, the water will rush down and submerge them all.Afterwards, he only needed to wait for Liang Xuanliang's Qianji Army and Sima Shen's men to lose both, and then he ordered his men to attack the palace directly.

...But I didn't expect that you would actually do this!

"You are only allowed to play tricks, and I am not allowed to play tricks?" Liang Xuanliang's tone was quite brisk, "Besides, I just followed your plan one step, why are you so surprised?"

"Then you can't make fun of the lives of 20 people in Yizhou!" Yan Chen really didn't expect that Liang Xuanliang secretly arranged for someone to go to Qijiang Reservoir.The Qijiang Reservoir is connected to the Yizhou River, and Yizhou is low-lying. As long as the gates are opened, the raging flood will submerge the entire Yizhou.It was reported just now that one-third of Yizhou had been flooded, and Wang Yizheng had died.

Liang Xuanliang, you are crazy!

"Am I crazy?" Liang Xuanliang laughed, saying that you are not crazy?

But just [-] troops want to usurp the throne?Are you too confident in your own brain?

Yan Chen was momentarily at a loss for words, and his face turned red.

Seeing that he was silent, Liang Xuanliang went on to say: "Do you think I don't know what your relationship is with Wang Si? The uncle of the former dynasty, Su Huaimei, the daughter of Northern Yuhou Su Zhichang, is your cousin."

Jun Ran, how many things are you hiding from me?

"You!" The plot was exposed, Yan Chen didn't know how to refute, he gritted his teeth, "Then you shouldn't disregard the lives and deaths of 20 people in Yizhou!"

"I didn't ignore them, I just made a bet with the life and death of 20 people." Liang Xuanliang glanced at King Zhou who was so frightened that his ass was about to piss, and said, "It seems that King Zhou doesn't need to participate in this gamble." His gaze turned to Yan Chen, "I bet you that you will let these 20 people accompany me on the road."

Liang Xuanliang's eyes were firm and sharp - he expected that with Yan Chen's temperament, he would not bear to sacrifice these 20 people in exchange for the throne of the emperor.

Yan Chen was conflicted in his heart - this time might be his only chance to revive Daqing, he endured the humiliation for six years, prepared for six years, and waited for this day.However, if the lives of these 20 innocent people are exchanged for the throne of the emperor, and his conscience is called, how can he be at ease?

However, just as he was hesitating, a large group of people suddenly broke in and surrounded them heavily—Qi Zhaoyan brought people in, but they were not dressed as Qianjijun, but a group of monks!He glared at Yan Chen, and shouted: "Yan Chen! You and the rebels have been surrounded, let your majesty go!"

I saw more than a dozen Qianji soldiers came in, and their subordinates actually suppressed the veterans of Daqing.

"These people are all your courtiers, right?" Liang Xuanliang said, "I don't know, what is their life in the eyes of your former crown prince Yan Chen?"

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by the Liang thief!" As soon as Shi Weizhe, the official minister of the former court, spoke, he was pressed down by the guards behind him and cut off the little finger of his left hand.Ten fingers connected to heart, just listening to his cry can tell how much pain he has.

"Shi Shangshu!"

Shi Weizhe fell to the ground, grinning his teeth in pain, but he still didn't forget to shout: "Your Highness... can't... can't compromise..."

The revival of Daqing depends on you!

"Liang Xuanliang!" Pulling Liang Xuanliang up, the knife in Yan Chen's hand rested on his neck, "Let them go!"

The cold blade pressed against the skin, Liang Xuanliang frowned in pain.The group of monks wanted to step forward to save people, but Liang Xuanliang raised her hand to signal them not to move.He looked at Yan Chen, laughed, and said yes.

As long as you obey me obediently, I will let them go.

"Your Highness is impossible!"

"His Royal Highness, you must not listen to the nonsense of the Liang thief!"

Those ministers tried to struggle, but were pinned to the ground.

Yan Chen seemed to be shaken, but he grabbed Liang Xuanliang's hand even harder.

Liang Xuanliang glanced at the people below, and said flatly: "If you are willing to exchange the lives of 20 people in Yizhou and the lives of these five former loyal ministers for the throne, there is nothing I can do."

Speaking of which, there should be Governor Wang Yizhen and Concubine Shu who participated in politics, but I asked the secret guard to watch them carefully.

"...Are you threatening me?"

"Wrong, it's a gamble."

Jun Ran, you don't want to let so many people down and bear the infamy of your life, do you?

The eyes of the two met, Yan Chen looked at Liang Xuanliang - the man's right eye was full of pride, and his left eye was full of gloom.

Feeling the cold blade leaving her neck, Liang Xuanliang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Zhaoyan saw that Yan Chen let go of Liang Xuanliang, and immediately asked someone to take Yan Chen down.The dagger fell to the ground, Yan Chen's hands were tied behind his back, but he refused to kneel down.

"Don't embarrass him." Liang Xuanliang said, "Put him in jail."

Yan Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his expression was as calm as water.He said Liang Xuanliang, don't forget what you promised me.

"...I will never forget."

"Then I will trust you once."

Seeing Yan Chen passing her by, Liang Xuanliang's expression was elusive.Qi Zhaoyan asked his men to put these "rebels" in the sky prison and put King Zhou under house arrest in the cold palace.After one kind of person left, Du Guanxuan hurriedly supported Liang Xuanliang, saying that His Majesty was frightened.

Liang Xuanliang leaned against Du Guanxuan, slowing down for a long time—there was nothing wrong with the confrontation just now, and then she realized that she was so tired, exhausted most of her strength, the wound on her neck was painful, and when she reached out to touch it, her hand was covered with blood .

Du Guanxuan shouted: "Go and call the imperial doctor!"

Stepping forward, Qi Zhaoyan asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Liang Xuanliang let out a long sigh of relief, "Go to Zhu Fengtai and kill someone."

Qi Zhaoyan was startled, and wanted to say something, but seeing Liang Xuanliang's resolute expression, he stopped talking.

Seeing the Feiyan dagger lying on the ground, Liang Xuanliang squatted down to pick it up.There were still traces of his blood on it, as well as the temperature of that person.

Yan Chen...

On the New Year's Eve of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, King Liang Xuanxian of Zhou joined forces with General Sima Shen to force the palace. Qi Zhaoyan led [-] monks from Jialan Temple to capture him. King Zhou, Sima Shen and their followers were all executed in Zhufengtai.On the same day, the Qijiang Reservoir collapsed and Yizhou was in distress. The political governor Wang Yizheng was ordered to rectify it and unfortunately died.Due to the death of her father, Concubine Shu suffered from illness due to excessive grief.

These things spread to the people, and the people not only praised the emperor's resourcefulness, but also awed his cruelty. It is said that on the night of New Year's Eve, the water in Qinghu Lake was stained red with blood, with the wailing and cursing of the dying, crying Shouting and begging for mercy, flow to the place where the sun rises.

No one knew that on the same day, the former prince Yan Chen almost killed Liang Xuanliang.

The legends in the mouth of the people will always fade away.However, inside the imperial court, there are dark waves - Liang Xuanliang defeated all the henchmen of King Sima Shen and Zhou on the night of New Year's Eve, and then used his tricks to completely wipe out the power of Yan Chen, the remnant of the previous dynasty.With the crime of "seeking to usurp the throne", those who defied him, those who deliberately defied him, died under the cold sword light.Liang Xuanliang took advantage of this momentum to rectify other negligent people in the court, and even promoted many newcomers. The Great Liang court had a real royal power.

The new and old ministers in Fengshu Pavilion gathered together to discuss with Liang Xuanliang about the reforms in the court.Just as the matter was settled, someone asked, "I wonder how His Majesty will deal with Yan Chen?"

Liang Xuanliang's heart moved, and she glanced at the ministers in the cabinet, "What do you think should be done?"

Immediately, an old minister stood up and said: "Yan Chen is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and has the intention of rebellion. I feel that Yan Chen should be executed immediately to show the majesty of the Emperor of Great Liang."

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

"Oh?" Liang Xuanliang smiled, "You all think he should be killed?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think so." Qi Zhaoyan said, "Your Majesty pardoned Yan Chen that day, but he followed the last emperor's last wish and avoided the death penalty. Now that King Sima Shen Zhou's henchmen have been eradicated, many people have died. If they start killing again, I'm afraid it will be in the hearts of the common people. Uneasy."

"I remember that when Yan Chen first entered the imperial capital, you told me to execute Yan Chen immediately, why do you want to protect him now?" Liang Xuanliang raised the teacup on the case, "It was magnanimous for me to spare him before. But now He wants to usurp the throne, how can I let him go?"

"Your Majesty, I agree with Qi Shilang's words." A civil servant stood up and looked about in his early twenties. He said that if His Majesty executed Yan Chen at this time, it would be a big taboo for military strategists.

Hearing this, Liang Xuanliang's expression darkened immediately.Seeing the emperor's change of expression, the rest of the people couldn't help being shocked—this yellow-haired boy is really courageous, who doesn't know that Liang Xuanliang has a tyrannical temper, and dares to say that he is wrong in front of his face.

Liang Xuanliang looked at the courtier, and said in a cold voice: "Why did you violate the taboo of military strategists?"

"Turk promised to let Princess Ashina Hezhuo come to marry him, but now that he is old, he claims that Ashina Hezhuo is suffering from a stubborn illness, and he refuses to send her for a long time. It seems that he has the intention of regretting the marriage. If this is the case , the Turks must have plans to invade our Great Liang, the northwest border really needs to be defended."

Before Tubo made peace with us, it was because of Great Liang's military strength.Your Majesty has cleaned up Sima Shen's rebellious party, and has dealt with a group of generals in the army.There are no generals in the army, and I am afraid that the Turks will take advantage of this opportunity to attack.If Tubo sees that our army is incapable of fighting and killing the enemy, they will definitely seek to protect themselves first, and it is hard to say that they will be willing to support us.

That eloquence was so eloquent that he insisted on talking about the current situation of the Great Liang's frontier defense.Liang Xuanliang's expression did not soften after listening.He asked, what does this have to do with killing Yan Chen or not?

"If His Majesty doesn't kill him, it has something to do with him."

Yan Chen had the talent of a general since he was a child. He led troops to fight at the age of 12, defeated the Turks, and killed the eldest son of the Turk Khan. He is quite familiar with Turkic warfare.Turkic soldiers were all terrified.If His Majesty lets Yan Chen lead the troops, he will definitely be able to win the war against the Turks.

"You mean to ask me to give him my soldiers?" Liang Xuanliang sneered, saying that he would not rebel again?

"Yan Chen's party members have been wiped out, and now he has nothing, what else can he do?" The man continued, "Besides, His Majesty doesn't need to give him military power, he just needs to let him go with the army and make suggestions."

Your majesty is so majestic, can't you still not control the remnants of the previous dynasty?

After the words were finished, everyone observed the emperor's expression—only Liang Xuanliang narrowed his eyes, looking at the official with suspicion.

Suddenly, Liang Xuanliang laughed out loud, causing everyone present to shudder.

"Let's discuss this matter later." After taking a sip of tea, Liang Xuanliang retreated these people, leaving only Qi Zhaoyan.

"This person's name is Fu Yunting, he is the chief secretary of Zhongshu Province, and he is also a student of the minister."

"Your student?" Liang Xuanliang smiled, and said that it's no wonder that she is so eloquent, it is really well-known to you.

Qi Zhaoyan returned with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Knowing how thick-skinned Qi Zhaoyan was, Liang Xuanliang didn't bother to mock him.He said that your student is a talent, much smarter than those old and stubborn ones, it's just that you are too wronged for being the master of the seventh rank.

However, Qi Zhaoyan said that Fu Yunting's qualifications are still inexperienced and needs to be practiced. After a while, if he has outstanding grades in the official examination, it will not be too late to be promoted to another official position.

"Now I have something to report to His Majesty." Qi Zhaoyan took out a piece of paper and presented it to Liang Xuanliang with both hands - this is the list of those who helped Yan Chen rebel.

Liang Xuanliang looked at the names on the paper, and couldn't help clenching her hands tightly——Zou Bingxian, the imperial historian of the former dynasty, Wei Zhe, the official secretary of the former dynasty, Zhao He, the Zuo admonishment doctor of the former dynasty...

... and Governor Wang Yizheng who participated in politics.

This Yan Chen is really good at tricks, so many people are willing to embrace him and proclaim him emperor, even at the expense of their lives.

"How does His Highness plan to deal with these people?"

"How to deal with it?"

I promised Yan Chen that I would let these people go, what else do you think?

When Qi Zhaoyan heard this, his face showed worry. He said that although His Majesty agreed to Yan Chen, these people are all rebellious officials and thieves, and they are still important officials of the previous dynasty. If they stay, it will be a disaster!

Seeing that Qi Zhaoyan was so anxious, Liang Xuanliang laughed.He said who told you that I want to keep them?

I heard that there are many bandits in the south of the Ling River, if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Qi Zhaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized. "I understand."

At this moment, the palace servants reported that it was Bai Xu, the Medical Superintendent of the Imperial Medical Office, who was asking to see him—Liang Xuanliang had put Sima Yan and Su Huaimei into limbo earlier, and asked Bai Xu to go and have a look at them.Bai Xu said that the two ladies are in good health, but...

"Just what?"

"...It's just that Concubine Shu is three months pregnant."

Liang Xuanliang was taken aback, "You said she was pregnant?"

"Yes."

Seeing this, Qi Zhaoyan stepped forward and said: "This cold palace is really not suitable for raising a baby. Su Huai's flattery for a girl like her won't be a big deal. She is a close relative. Would your majesty change her to a better place?"

Liang Xuanliang didn't listen to Qi Zhaoyan's words, he looked at the paper in his hand, frowning deeply.

My flesh and blood...

After a long while, he said: "Concubine Shu was saddened by her father's death, and died of depression."

The other two were all shocked.After a while, Bai Xu bowed and said, "I understand."

Qi Zhaoyan looked at Liang Xuanliang's profile - there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he still couldn't hide the deep sadness in the corner of his eyes.

Dominating the peak, can you feel emotional in your heart?
