Eunuch Zhou, who was lying on the ground holding his stomach, heard the emperor's roar. He quickly got up from the ground, crawled to the inner hall on his knees, picked up the letter on the ground, held the letter carefully, and climbed to the front of the emperor. "Your Majesty. ..." The emperor's face was ugly. He had no time to ask Eunuch Zhou what stupid thing he had done. He took the letter, opened it, and read it quickly. The more he looked at it, the angrier he became. Finally, he just grabbed the envelope. , clenched his palm into a fist and slammed it towards the side of the bed. "Damn it, this Wei Ran is so brave... He actually surrendered to the bandits."

Xiao Tingyan said bluntly: "Brother, the plan for now is not to care about Wei Ran's crimes. The most important thing now is to mobilize troops and send troops to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits. If we go one day later, the people in the city will More people will die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Luan clasped his fists and knelt down on his knees: "Your Majesty, please send troops immediately to save the people of Yongzhou from the deep and fiery hell. My daughter is willing to lead the troops to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits..." Xiao Tingyan was startled. He frowned slightly and looked at Yun Luan. No one knew what the current situation in Yongzhou was. He only knew that even Yun Qing, a female general who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, could not settle the matter in Yongzhou. Yun Luan was gone. , is it really possible? In his memory, Yun Luan has never led an army to fight. At most, she followed Yun Fuqing to the battlefield when she was ten years old. More importantly, she still has some leftovers left in her body. The poison was not clear, and she could not use her internal power. The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held the envelope with some hesitation. "Mr. Taiping County, you have never led an army in a war... Your third sister has led an army." No one, with her ability, can defeat those bandits, let alone you who have never led an army before."

As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Wan walked in from outside the palace. She nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty is right. The county master has never led troops in war and has no experience at all. How can he be entrusted with such an important task?" In my opinion, a general who has experienced hundreds of battles should be allowed to go. The bandits in Yongzhou have been rampant for too many years. Our attack must be a hit. Otherwise, if we are defeated again, the morale of the bandits will be boosted. , I’m afraid Yongzhou is not the only one we have fallen to.”

When the emperor saw Concubine Wan coming, he immediately stood up and held her hand. "Why are you here? Because of Jiarong's incident, you probably didn't sleep well last night. Why did you get up so early?"

Concubine Wan's eyes sparkled with tenderness, and she smiled at the emperor. "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about my body. I know it well. Now, nothing is as important as the people of Yongzhou."

The emperor held her hand and helped her find a place to sit down. Eunuch Zhou quickly got up from the ground and asked the palace servants to serve tea. Yun Luan knelt on the ground, with a bit of anger flashing in his eyes. At such a critical moment, Concubine Wan suddenly jumped out and blocked her. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for her to lead troops to Yongzhou. At this time, she can only rely on Xiao Tingyan, only he can help her. Yun Luanti He looked at Xiao Tingyan. Xiao Tingyan knelt down and frowned slightly: "Aluan, I don't want you to go to Yongzhou. The current situation in Yongzhou is very dangerous, and I don't want you to take risks."

Yun Luan grabbed his arm, her eyes flashing with prayer. "King Yan, my third sister's whereabouts are unknown in Yongzhou. I must go to Yongzhou. I have already lost my father and eldest brother, and I don't want to lose my third sister again. "

"Looking at the entire Nanchu Court, I really can't think of any other generals who are worthy of my trust and capable of fighting against those bandits in Yongzhou."

"King Yan, can you just treat it like I'm begging you? You must help me, and you must get the emperor's consent to let me lead the troops to Yongzhou."

Xiao Tingyan looked at the pleading and anxiety in her eyes, and his heart gradually softened. No matter what time, he could not refuse her request. He knew better than anyone else that Aluan could not lose any of his close family members. Yun Something happened to Qing, which put Yun Luan's spirit on the verge of collapse. If he didn't help her now, he really couldn't imagine what stupid things she would do. Xiao Tingyan held Yun Luan's hand instead , sighed and replied helplessly. "You are my king's nemesis."

Yun Luan was startled, and the next moment Xiao Tingyan stood up, interrupted the lingering atmosphere between the emperor and Concubine Wan, and asked Concubine Wan loudly. "Concubine Wan just said that, do you already have a suitable general in your heart?" Candidate?"

Concubine Wan smiled softly and nodded slowly towards Xiao Tingyan. "Yes, I have already found a suitable person in my heart. Originally, as a concubine in the harem, I cannot easily get involved in politics. However, I saw the emperor acting like this Worry, even if I risk great disgrace, I will still share the burden on the Emperor's shoulders."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor affectionately. The emperor was so moved that he held her hand tightly. "Wan'er, in this world, no one can treat me better than you."

Xiao Tingyan's eyes were flashing with coldness. He ignored the tenderness in the emperor's eyes and continued to ask. "I don't know, who does Concubine Wan want to recommend?"

Concubine Wan gently said the name of a person. "The eldest son of a family of military generals... Tong Yang. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is both civil and military. He once followed the generals of the country and killed the enemy on the battlefield. In the past few years, he has also been After training in the military camp, I think sending him to Yongzhou is the most suitable candidate."

Yun Luan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but raise her lips in a silent mocking smile. Tong Yang? Isn't that Tong Yi's eldest brother? Tong Yi is the husband of the concubine of the Zhao family. Because of Zhao Kui's matter, Tong Yi made a mistake, Now she has been dismissed from her official position and imprisoned in the sky prison. She really did not expect that the Zhao family collapsed and there was no one available. Concubine Wan began to set her sights on the Tong family who were related to the Zhao family again. The emperor listened, Gradually it dawned on him. "Oh, Tong Yang? I remember that I have met him several times. He is a rare young talent. The former general of the country once praised Tong Yang in front of me."

"Concubine Wan's recommendation of Tong Yang is quite good. I think he is also quite suitable..." The emperor turned to look at Yun Luan and said softly: "Mr. Taiping County, your physical injury has not recovered yet. At this time, Sending Tong Yang there is the best choice."

"Don't worry, I will definitely ask Tong Yang to find the whereabouts of your third sister after rescuing the people of Yongzhou. Your third sister is excellent in martial arts, so there should be no accidents..." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Xiao Tingyan couldn't bear it. The resident sneered. "Brother, I'm afraid this Tong Yang won't be able to go to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits. As far as I know, Tong Yang has been corrupt, accepted bribes, and oppressed innocent people... It has caused dissatisfaction among many people. It won't take long. , the documents to impeach Tong Yang may be presented to His Majesty."

"Although Tong Yang is a brave young man, unfortunately, he is greedy by nature and loves vanity. I think it is very inappropriate for him to go to Yongzhou to suppress bandits and save the people. Please, Your Majesty, find someone else..." Concubine Wan's face turned pale. , the corners of her raised lips couldn't help but stiffen. She looked at Xiao Tingyan angrily: "King Yan, just with your mouth, you have pinned those unfounded charges on Tong Yang. Isn't it too much for you to do this? That's too much." Xiao Tingyan snorted and curled his lips in a sneer. "Wan Fei knows very well whether it's a stretch or not. If you have to ask for evidence to shut up, then I won't let you down."

Concubine Wan's heart skipped a beat, as if she had a bad premonition. "What do you mean?"

"Tong Yang has committed a heinous crime, and he has actually committed the crime of deceiving the emperor... Originally, I came to the palace today just because of Tong Yang's affairs. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan would actually recommend Tong Yang to go to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits... What a coincidence.”

There was a smile on Xiao Tingyan's lips. As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Zhou hurried in from outside. "Your Majesty, there is an official who wants to see your Majesty with evidence that Tong Yang is corrupt, perverts the law, and tortures the people."

Concubine Wan's face turned pale. She clenched her fists. She never expected that Xiao Tingyan had planned everything in advance. Did he have the ability to predict the future? Otherwise, how could he have guessed that she wanted to recommend Tong? Yang went to Yongzhou to suppress the bandits? Now, he gave her such a big blow. Concubine Wan secretly gritted her teeth. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood. The emperor frowned and let Yan Guan in. The two Yan Guan stepped into the palace and took Tong into the palace. The evidence of Yang's crime was presented. The emperor looked at the evidence and turned to look at Concubine Wan with some hesitation. Before he could make any punishment, there were ministers outside the palace who wanted to see the emperor. The emperor had no choice but to let those people enter the hall. .The ministers headed by Song Hui entered the palace with a cheer. Without saying a word, they lifted up their robes and knelt on the ground. In a coercive manner, they forced the emperor to enforce the law impartially and punish the criminals severely. Only then did he realize. By now, almost most of the courtiers in the court have come under Xiao Tingyan's command. It seems that many of his decisions are now subject to unprecedented checks and balances. In the case of Tong Yang, he cannot help but say no. Headed by Song Hui The ministers directly roasted him on the bonfire. The emperor couldn't figure out why Song Hui, the left prime minister, stood on a united front with King Yan? So many people forced him to deal with Tong Yang. The emperor was helpless , had no choice but to punish Tong Yang on the spot, remove him from his official position, confiscate Tong's family, and send him to prison to await trial. Concubine Wan felt that her whole body was cold. Good, really good! Xiao Tingyan was really cruel. He was actually waiting here. She. Xiao Tingyan helped Yun Luan up, found a seat, and asked Yun Luan to sit down. The emperor's face was a little ugly. He, the emperor, was still standing here. He didn't give him a seat. He, Xiao Tingyan, dared to make the decision without authorization. Yun Luan sat down. In his eyes, did he still take him as the emperor seriously? Xiao Tingyan didn't care at all, the ugly faces of the emperor and Concubine Wan. He raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Wan, and asked gently: " Concubine Wan, if Tong Yang is punished, I'm afraid he won't be able to go to Yongzhou. How about you recommend someone else to try?"

There are only a few generals who are attached to Concubine Wan. He has already known the details of those few people clearly. Anyway, no matter who Concubine Wan recommends, he is sure to send those people in one by one. In the cell. Concubine Wan was depressed and her face was extremely ugly. She didn’t believe in evil, and she refused to admit defeat to Xiao Tingyan. She didn’t believe that Xiao Tingyan was really that capable of digging out everyone’s crimes? He wasn’t How could the roundworm in her stomach know who she wanted to recommend? Concubine Wan adjusted her emotions for a long time. Then, she recommended several other young talents to the emperor. Who knows, without Xiao Tingyan speaking, Song Hui She was the first to speak out, listing the crimes of those people one by one. The officials knelt aside and agreed one after another. They held a pile of memorials in their hands, which were all evidence of their crimes. Concubine Wan was angry and her face was ashen. She was a little broken. She rushed to Yan Guan and overturned the piles of memorials. "You bastards, have you joined forces with King Yan to deliberately target me?"

"Whoever I recommend will be exposed by you...who gave you the courage to do this?"

Song Hui didn't even raise his eyelids and replied coldly. "Concubine Wan, please be careful... We have nothing to do with King Banquet. We just found out the crimes of those people a long time ago. Come here today." , just to report to His Majesty."

"Unexpectedly, Concubine Wan, you did not give us a chance to report, but you recommended all these generals. For the sake of the people of Yongzhou, we naturally will not watch helplessly and let those generals who have made mistakes continue to poison Yongzhou. People, right?"

"As a concubine in the harem, Concubine Wan actually exceeded the laws of the court and interfered in the government affairs of the previous dynasty? We haven't even impeached Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan has already taken the initiative and slandered our ministers? Your Majesty, are you sure you want to be so ridiculous? , continue to let the palace concubines interfere in the government affairs, and cholera the government?"

Song Hui's words were loud and clear, and could not be criticized. They quickly received responses from other courtiers. They looked at Concubine Wan with hatred in their eyes, and they denounced Concubine Wan in every word. She was a witch who brought disaster to the country and the people. Such benevolent people actually want to interfere in the affairs of the government and cause cholera in the country? They all kowtowed and advised the emperor. "Your Majesty, the laws of the country are strict and cannot be violated or trampled by anyone. Concubine Wan, as a concubine, has repeatedly interfered with the affairs of the government. As a How can the emperor of the Southern Prince allow her to act so wantonly?"

"Yongzhou fell. Instead of quickly dispatching troops and generals to rescue the people of Yongzhou, you actually asked the palace concubine to send troops and generals to help you make decisions about how to govern the country? Your Majesty, you are really confused."

"Yes, if you continue to indulge Concubine Wan, sooner or later our Nanchu empire will be destroyed in her hands."

"My ministers, I request the emperor to severely punish Concubine Wan to set the record straight. Otherwise, the court will be unstable and your majesty as an emperor will be affected. This will be a great tragedy for the Southern Crown Prince."

"Please, Your Majesty, severely punish Concubine Wan..." "Please, Your Majesty, stop indulging in such enchanting concubines and causing chaos in the government."

Concubine Wan was so angry and dizzy after hearing the advice of those ministers that she almost vomited blood. She shook her arms and pointed at them. "You...are you going to rebel?"

Xiao Tingyan's eyes flashed with a bit of evil, and he sneered: "In my opinion, it is not them who want to rebel, but you, Concubine Wan. You seduced His Majesty and made him listen to your decision in everything. You are clearly Charming the Holy One. Cholera spreads to the south."

Concubine Wan's face was extremely pale. She turned to look at the emperor in a panic. Her eyes were red and a little delicate, and she shouted in a choked voice. "Your Majesty, I... I, I didn't think about cholera." "Chao Gang, I just want to share your worries..." "How can they slander me like this? I am unjust..." The emperor looked at the ministers with an aggressive and strong attitude, and he felt something in his heart. He was very worried. It seemed that Concubine Wan could not be allowed to continue to interfere in Yongzhou's affairs. Otherwise, once she caused public outrage, these officials would definitely impeach her and force him to punish Concubine Wan. By then, he might be afraid There was no way to end it. The emperor gritted his teeth and couldn't help but feel cruel. He immediately slapped Concubine Wan on the cheek. "How can you, an ignorant woman, control national affairs? Concubine Wan, you really don't care. Too much."
