Chapter 34 34
"General Jing's words, are you accusing us of the imperial army?" Zhou Yu's face was sullen, but his expression did not change.
"The general didn't say that." Jing Bufan pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and did not jump into Zhou Yu's trap: "The jurisdiction of the forbidden army is the palace, and our general didn't disappear inside the palace wall, so naturally it has nothing to do with the forbidden army. "
"Oh? Then according to what General Jing said, if anything happened to the old general in the palace, it was the fault of the Imperial Army?" Zhou Yu asked back.
"Naturally." Jing Bufan replied coldly.
Zhou Yu hooked the corner of his mouth, and smiled coldly: "Then if Your Majesty..."
"General Zhou." Xie Fanghan, who had eaten melon for a long time, said, "Speak carefully."
Zhou Yu didn't feel annoyed when his words were interrupted, and his eyes fell on Xie Fanghan again.
Xie Fanghan stood between the two of them, blocking their line of sight on purpose, watching Zhou Yu amplify his voice intentionally: "Are General Zhou's words alluding to what His Majesty is going to do to the General?"
"This general will not..."
Xie Fanghan's voice was even louder.He directly suppressed Zhou Yu's words: "Thinking about the Sacred Heart and arranging the Sacred Will are a serious crime!"
Zhou Yu looked at Xie Fanghan with a dark face, his eyes kept flashing coldly.
Xie Fanghan pretended not to see it, and turned his body slightly, revealing Jing Bufan behind him.
Zhou Yu looked away for a moment, and then returned to Xie Fanghan.
"I heard that Mr. Xie is both civil and military. If there is a chance, I hope to compete with you."
Xie Fanghan smiled kindly: "It is also my honor to be taught martial arts by the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army."
Zhou Yu didn't speak, he glanced lightly at the besieged General's Mansion, then turned around and left with his people.
Xie Fanghan exhaled indistinctly, and then looked at General Jing again.
His age doesn't look very old, he just passed it, his eyes are sharp, his movements are agile, the front door is wide open, but his foot is steady, he looks like a soldier.
"General Laojing is here." Xie Fanghan thanked again.
No matter what, you can still be regarded as one of your own people, and the etiquette you should have cannot be discarded.
"Young master, you don't need to be like this. This is the duty of the general." Jing Bufan clattered to the ground, standing upright.
After all, the door was not a place to talk, Xie Fanghan nodded to Jing Bufan and entered the General's Mansion with Huber.
"Is this Jing Bufan reliable?" Just after passing the screen wall, she asked Huber in a low voice.
"reliable."
It was not Huber who answered her.
Xie Fanghan looked at the old general who was grooming the horse in the yard, and he was dumbfounded.
Although he knew that Wei Baili was directing and acting on his own, at least he would hide outside until the end of the play, but it turned out that he was so "courageous" that he went back to the General's Mansion just like that.
If anyone sees this...
Well, no wonder the General's Mansion is surrounded so tightly.
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Xie Fanghan looked around at the old man, and there seemed to be no major problem on the outside.
But the old man's body has always been unreasonable, and she was afraid that such a toss would hurt his insides.
"Me? I'm fine." Wei Baili continued to brush the horse while talking.
It seems that there is really nothing wrong with it.
She was still a little worried, thinking about finding time to find a doctor to feel his pulse.
Xie Fanghan was thinking about how to "arrange" the old general, Wei Baili said again: "Tell me what happened today."
She regained her senses, nodded, and relayed to the old general what happened just now.
As for Yan Yutang, she didn't go to court, Xie Fanghan very consciously omitted the latter paragraph.
"Young master, your clothes..." Huber beside him suddenly said.
Xie Fanghan's heart skipped a beat and he secretly thought it was bad.
Before entering the palace, she dyed her white clothes into half a bloody one for the sake of visual impact, but when she came out of the palace, the bloody ones were gone, and she changed into a white one.
Wei Baili glanced at her, his eyes were full of understanding.
Yes, ginger is still old and spicy.
Xie Fanghan gave up looking for reasons, and honestly told about the side hall.
"What do you think?" Wei Baili didn't say much, just asked.
"The eldest prince's temperament is really not good, and the structure is too small." She said that the expression of Emperor Yan before making a decision flashed in her mind.
His last look at the First Prince was filled with disappointment.
Although many emperors in history were worried that their princes would "outweigh the master", there were also some princes who were too mediocre to support.
The former is worried that his reputation will be damaged during his reign and he will become a talking point for people all over the world.
The latter is worried that there is not even a successful king, and finally ruined the ancestors' foundation.
In a sense, the latter may be worse.
Yan Huang is now in the latter state.
The eldest prince is the heir apparent, but he just isn't the material to be an emperor, and finally he has some ideas, and he doesn't care about the head and the tail, and doesn't seem to be doing things at all.
Starting from the military power, there is no problem in the overall situation, but this eldest prince chose the Zhenbei Army, which is the mainstay of the country, so he didn't consider Da Yue's side!
Xie Fanghan smacked his mouth and shook his head, this eldest prince is completely "cheating".
"What are you thinking?" Wei Baili said.
She also has nothing to hide: "I'm wondering if the eldest prince is cheating."
Wei Baili paused his hand brushing the horse, but his tone remained unchanged: "Oh? How should I say it?"
She looked at the old man and frowned, thinking that the old man was testing her on purpose.
"The Eldest Prince has no choice but to shoot. Even if His Majesty breaks the arrow cruelly, it may be too late." She pouted at the old man as she spoke.
The old man didn't hide from her: "Chengqi has already arranged the troops in the imperial capital."
She sighed faintly, in the final analysis, this matter is also hers.
As soon as she beat the Dengwen drum, all the people in the imperial capital knew that something happened to the old general.
The eldest prince is bound to break up, even if he wants to retire now, as long as the old man is "discovered" in his territory, he will have no way to argue.
Emperor Yan killed the eldest son, and he still had to find a way to appease the Zhenbei Army.
No matter how stupid the eldest prince is, he still represents the royal family. As long as it is polished, this matter will become a private attack on the general's mansion by the royal family.
The Zhenbei Army was brought out by the old general. If the news is true, the Zhenbei Army may have to ask the emperor to "beg" for an explanation.
In the past, she might not have thought so far, and it was thanks to the news that the dark guard Zhang Luo had returned every day during this period of time.
"A little progress." After listening to her analysis, the old man nodded in satisfaction.
Xie Fanghan felt a little awkward in his heart: "Does it have to be like this?"
Wei Baili's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this: "Do you still remember what you said to me before? You said that the royal family of Dayan has been rotten to the root, and you said that I am the general of Dayan, and the people will Difficult, are you planning to repent and let me stand by?"
Xie Fanghan was speechless when asked.
Whether people stand at a certain height, they will despise life.
She remembered that she had talked about this issue with Yan Yutang before, and what she said at that time.
"The life of ten thousand people is important, but the life of one person is light."
She was a little dissatisfied with this answer at the time.
"If all people are sinners, is it still the same if one person is a good person?" She asked Yan Yutang.
Yan Yutang just replied to her at that time: "It doesn't matter what is serious, but do whatever you want."
Yan Yutang is more thorough than her.
Xie Fanghan curled his lips, and suddenly remembered that he was still in front of the old man, so he quickly raised his head, the old man had already finished grooming the horse.
"Have you figured it out?" the old man said in a nonchalant manner, without the slightest sign of blowing his beard and staring at him just now.
She answered irrelevant questions, her tone full of emotion: "My mother's brand is really hard to get."
"Hahaha!" Wei Baili laughed heartily.
"Yo, what's the matter, the old man is smiling so happily."
Xie Fanghan looked back in surprise, never expecting that Xie Mingyuan would come to the door suddenly.
"Why are you here?" She asked subconsciously, and felt a little rude after asking, but she couldn't say that word in front of Wei Baili.
Fortunately, Xie Mingyuan didn't mind. He walked around her twice and looked at her with bright eyes: "This dress is not bad. The material used is a tribute."
Wei Baili recruited his own soldiers and asked him to move the horse away, while he looked at Xie Mingyuan with an unfriendly expression, and his tone became cold for several moments: "Hmph, what are you doing here?"
"Speak in another place?" Xie Mingyuan was still acting like a fool.
Wei Baili's eyes lit up, and he didn't make things difficult for him anymore, but turned around and walked towards the study.
Xie Fanghan walked at the end and gestured to the hidden guard in the dark.
He didn't even enter the door last time when he sent her here, so if he came in at this juncture, there must be something important.
As soon as the door of the study room was closed, Xie Mingyuan, who had just had a peachy face, changed his expression in an instant. His expression was cold, and he said to the two in a serious tone: "The Xu family is planning to rebel."
……
Xie Mingyuan informed the other two people in the study about the information he had found.
There was silence in the study, Wei Baili knocked on the armrest, as if hitting their hearts.
Xie Mingyuan looked back and forth at the reactions of the old and the young, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Fanghan.
Wei Baili suddenly stopped what he was doing, and set his eyes on Xie Fanghan.
Xie Fanghan was watched by two eyes, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I didn't expect it to be a double spring in the end."
"What do you think?" Wei Baili said in a tone that could not detect any emotion.
She smiled wryly: "This is really a difficult problem. A large camp in the suburbs of Beijing just figured out how to deal with it, and now it has to deal with the forbidden army."
"On the other hand, this is also a good opportunity. Being able to sell off two princes at once is not a loss compared to business." Xie Mingyuan "uttered wild words".
"Why don't you say to encourage the second prince, so it's more cost-effective to discount three?" She said angrily.
The room fell silent again.
She looked up at her father and her grandfather, and saw that they looked serious, as if they were really considering the possibility, and immediately said: "You two don't really want to do this, do you?"
Three princes in one play?
"It's not impossible." Wei Baili opened his mouth.
Xie Mingyuan: "The big camp in the suburbs of Beijing plus the forbidden army plus the private soldiers in the hands of the second prince, this is not a small sum."
Wei Baili: "Don't worry about the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The Zhenbei Army stationed there will stop them."
Xie Mingyuan: "Even so, the Forbidden Army plus the Second Prince's number is very advantageous."
Wei Baili: "Their goals are the same, so there is bound to be conflict."
Xie Mingyuan: "The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?"
Wei Baili nodded.
Xie Fanghan watched the two talking to each other, and finally found an opportunity to speak: "Can't you make a compromise?"
"Ok?"
"How to compromise?"
The two asked at the same time.
"The emperor already knows that we set up this table. He was the first to reach out to the first prince, and he deserved to have his paw chopped off. The Xu family's rebellion is because they have two intentions, but if we add another second prince..."
"This play lost the emperor's three sons. Although they are not good guys, the final account will still be on the general's head. The Xu family fell, and the Zhou family showed weakness. The emperor will have the opportunity to support new forces at will, and when the time is right, he will definitely attack us."
Xie Fanghan carefully glanced at the two of them, and seeing that they were silent, he boldly continued: "I think, if we don't want to usurp the throne, it's better not to make such big moves, after all, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable."
After a long time, Wei Baili said: "You also know that the Sacred Heart is unpredictable."
Xie Mingyuan followed his words and continued: "Whether it's one or two, as long as the emperor is suspicious, he will attack us in the end."
Xie Fanghan didn't refute. Of course she knew the reason and it was a bit far-fetched, but she couldn't tell them that Yan Huang was about to die, and that Emperor Yan didn't have the chance to make an example of others.
She said so much because she was mainly worried about Yan Yutang.
Yan Yutang is so smart, so she can clearly distinguish the twists and turns in it. After losing three princes, the empress's family's vitality will be greatly damaged, and the situation of the three princesses will start to be sad. The rest will be Yan Yutang and the sixth prince. In the original novel, the Sixth Prince is almost a passer-by with her identity, he doesn't have a big role, but he is favored by Emperor Yan for nothing.
All the ministers in the court knew about her favor with Yan Yutang. When this matter was over, as long as she was still on Yan Yutang's side, Dayan could be said to be in Yan Yutang's hands.
And this "Breaking the Three Kings" drama will also be spread by interested people as being planned by Yan Yutang.
It is not known whether she wants this world or not.
If the three of them, grandpa and grandson, made a decision today, it would almost be like putting her on the dragon chair.
