Bringing Up the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 20: Wan Xuexuan
As soon as King Ning said this, all the ministers who were talking quietly in the court suddenly became silent. All the ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything more.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Right Prime Minister Fan Mou, who had been silent just now, listened to the words of His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Ning, his slightly closed eyes flashed with cunning light, and Prince Ning finished speaking.
, Fan Mou then opened his mouth and said.
"Accurate performance," the emperor said.
"I just heard what the two princes said, and I agree with what His Highness Prince Ning said about the Xiongnu. In particular, just now His Highness Prince Ning mentioned the Northern Jin's travel to disturb the country. It is suspected that someone took the name of the Northern Jin and committed robberies.
The matter of plundering must be investigated more strictly. The veteran felt that the Northern Jin Dynasty should not act with common sense. If it is true that the Northern Jin Dynasty first tested our government's attitude by using cavalry, and then suddenly used troops, what would happen? It would be better to treat it as the prince said.
I want you to choose a general to lead the troops there, one to investigate the matter, and the other to prevent the Northern Jin Dynasty." Fan Mou bowed his body, held a wat tablet in his hand, and played to the emperor.
The emperor's smile remained unchanged at this moment. He looked past Fan Mou and scanned the ministers in the hall. All the ministers bowed their heads and said nothing. The emperor's eyes were deep, looking at the ministers, and he twisted the jade holder in his hand a little faster.
, turned around and walked towards the dragon chair with his hands behind his back. King Ning was about to speak, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him. King Ning had to keep his mouth shut and bowed before entering the queue.
The emperor said, "Do you still have something to report?" When the ministers saw that the Holy One had brought the topic back to the affairs of the court, they each reported their respective matters.
"Your Majesty, please note that bandits have been causing riots at night in cities across the northern border recently. The magistrates of each city have sent a petition to the imperial minister to allocate manpower to capture the thieves."
"Accurate performance."
"Your Majesty, the snowstorm in the month before last has affected the southern border. Many states have asked the imperial court to allocate money to repair residences and cities."
"According to the report, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be in charge and the Ministry of Works will be in charge of this matter. There should be no delay."
"Your Majesty, this year is approaching and preparations for the New Year's Day Festival are already underway."
"On the first day of this year, there is no need to make extravagant arrangements. Keep everything simple. All palaces must reduce expenses to support the people affected by the disaster."
"Start Your Majesty"...
All the ministers reported many matters. Some ministers were secretly happy when they received the emperor's approval; some ministers were reprimanded in court and were trembling with fear; of course, some ministers kept looking at their toes and wandering around; I don't know how to do their errands well.
, still thinking about how to deal with the second concubine he married. All in all, the statues of the ministers in the court are just the tools for sitting on the dragon chair to govern the country.
After everything was done, the high-pitched voice came up again: "Retreat from the court~~".
"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor," all the ministers knelt down and shouted. After leading the emperor away, the ministers slowly exited the palace and dispersed in groups of threes and twos.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness Prince Ning, and Fan Youxiang, please stay here. Your Majesty has summoned you to come to the Imperial Garden to see you." A young eunuch quickly caught up with the three of them, passed on an oral instruction, and led the three of them to the Imperial Garden.
...
In the imperial garden, the emperor had taken off his court clothes and summoned Yan Qingchuan, who had not slept all night last night, in his red casual clothes. In the imperial garden, which covers an area of several hundred feet, the four-season plants are named Everspring, Ningxia, Qianqiu, and Wanxue.
The four pavilions and four pavilions are planted with ancient cypresses and locust trees, and there are rare stone and jade seats, bronze statues of golden lins, and potted flower piles corresponding to the four seasons of the year. In each season, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the season.
At this moment, Yan Qingchuan was summoned by the emperor at Wan Xuexuan. His eyes swept over Yan Qingchuan, who still looked tired. The emperor stroked his beard and said, "Qingchuan, you had a good rest last night."
"Your Majesty, I had a good rest last night," Yan Qingchuan replied respectfully, but his eyes glanced at Zhong Qi, who was standing with a hunched figure behind the emperor. Seeing Zhong Qi's expression just like yesterday, he couldn't help but wonder about the mysterious master in the palace yesterday.
Isn't it this father-in-law? Is there a master in this palace with that monstrous momentum? But the wailing voice is clearly this person.
The emperor seemed to have seen through what Yan Qingchuan was thinking, and said: "Qingchuan, there are many rules in the palace, unlike at home. You must have not had a good rest. I have sent someone to tell Lao Yan. You and your son will be reunited soon."
, just go home and rest with your father. Remember, errands are important, but your health is even more important. Lao Yan's son is like my nephew."
"Your Majesty is so gracious to me. My father and my ministers have appointed me as your Majesty to do their best for me, Qi Yun." After hearing what the emperor said, Yan Qingchuan's gratitude was beyond words and he hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
While the monarch and his ministers were talking, they saw a young eunuch walking quickly to lead the way, followed by a middle-aged man in gray clothes. This man was nearly fifty years old, with tiger eyes and an eagle nose, and a long beard reaching to his chest.
He is long, but has black beard and hair. From a distance, he does not look like a man in his fifties. He wakes up with the young eunuch all the way. His steps are steady. If you look closely, you can see that there is no difference in the distance between each step. As he gets closer, he sees this person.
The deep legal lines on both sides of the eagle's nose show the person's age. The person who came is none other than Yan Ruohai, who is ranked fifth on the 'Shenzhou Ling Jue Ranking'.
"Your Majesty, Yan Ruohai, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor." The middle-aged man in gray clothes glanced at Yan Qingchuan, who was kneeling on the ground to thank him, and also bowed and returned to Yan Qingchuan's side.
"In my imperial garden, there are no outsiders. You two, father and son, are exactly the same. Just now I was talking to Qingchuan. He is your son, just like my nephew. Lao Yan, Qingchuan, just live in peace."
The emperor laughed and ordered someone to bring a brocade stool for him to sit on.
The father and son of the Yan family stood up and sat respectfully in front of the emperor. Zhongqi motioned to all the palace ladies and eunuchs to retreat. Yan Ruohai watched his son retreat with everyone with a tired look on his face. He felt a little distressed, but after all, he was serving the imperial family, so he could only let go of his distress.
In my heart.
The emperor looked at Yan Ruohai. Back then, when the Grand Master of Youlong Linyuanzhang followed him in the southern expedition, he did not even blink when he killed the masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the Yingjiang River. At this moment, he looked at his son walking out of Wan Xuexuan.
But he seemed to be a different person, with some emotion in his heart. He twisted the jade holder in his hand and said: "Qingchuan has grown up and is now serving the imperial court. When I pacify China one day, we will put this
Leave the country to their young people, and you can travel with me to the mountains and rivers of China."
When Yan Ruohai heard what the emperor said, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Yan Ruohai knew that the emperor in front of him had great ambitions and the city was deep. When he was hiding in the dragon, he made bold words to return all the thousands of miles of China to Zhao and destroy Zhao.
After the emperor, his thoughts became elusive, and he replied: "The emperor's kindness to the Yan family will be repaid with death. This child Qingchuan is still too young. Please give me more admonitions. This time I will receive
The emperor ordered us to investigate the remaining evildoers of Zhao State, and we got some clues."
"Oh? Tell me." After hearing the news about the remnants of the Zhao Kingdom, the emperor twirled the jade holder in his hand faster.
"This time I left Beijing and went north to the capital of Zhao. I visited some old people who had served the Zhao family of the Hun Emperor. From the mouths of these old people, I found out about the eunuchs of the capital of Zhao. I used some means to find them.
This eunuch, at first, the eunuch refused to speak. After I cut off his hands and feet, he spoke. He said that when His Majesty came to the capital of Zhao, Zhao Chi, the stupid emperor, saw the troops coming from heaven and slaughtered everyone in the palace with his sword.
, and later burned himself in the palace, but he spared a newborn baby girl alone, and entrusted a square wooden box and the baby to a person." Yan Ruohai truthfully reported the news he had investigated in recent days.
"Back then, I obeyed the destiny of heaven and the will of the people, and destroyed Emperor Zhao Chi, but I searched the whole city and couldn't find the traditional jade seal that was used to unify China. For so many years, Zongwang in the north has been using it.
As an excuse to criticize me, Zhao Chi has no children. The wooden box must contain the imperial seal. Lao Yan, please continue to tell me, where are the wooden box and the baby now?" When the emperor heard Yan Ruohai's report, his eyes flashed,
The jade holder in his hand was also twisted very quickly.
Yan Ruohai had not seen the emperor's eyes with such eagerness for many years, and continued: "I was shocked for a long time when I heard the news, so I continued to question the eunuch, but he said that he was hiding behind the dragon chair that day.
After this calamity, I secretly saw this, and then the baby girl and the wooden box disappeared into the palace along with the person who entrusted them to it."
At this moment, the emperor could no longer control the urgency in his heart. He stood up and asked: "Can you trace the whereabouts of the baby girl, the wooden box, and the person who entrusted them to me?"
"I am ashamed. Although I discovered this information, there was no progress after that. The eunuch also died because I was too heavy-handed. After that, I had to return to the capital to report to the Holy One." Yan Ruohai saw the emperor's eagerness and hurriedly knelt down to report.
The emperor looked at Yan Ruohai who was kneeling at his feet. The emperor's eyes were filled with uncertainty. After a moment, he stopped twisting the jade handle, put a smile on his lips, stretched out his hand to help the master of Wandering Dragon Palm and said: "Old Yan
This time I have made a great contribution to detecting such important information for me. I am very relieved. Lao Yan has worked hard all the way. Get up quickly. I will send someone to investigate the next thing. There is one more thing I need to discuss with you now."
.
"Please give me your Majesty's orders, and I will do my best to do so." Yan Ruohai had the status of a master. When he knelt down just now, although he did not raise his head to look directly at Long Yan, he felt the emperor's aura change slightly. At this moment, he was helped up by the emperor and he hurriedly bowed.
road.
The emperor looked at Yan Ruohai and said calmly: "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Li Kurong has gone crazy. This man helped my father defeat the Huns in the Battle of Zhongzhou. If Ruoli Kurong is really crazy, Wangli Villa will eventually
It is Li Kunrong’s life-long effort. I don’t want the world to say that I don’t remember people’s kindness. If Li Kunrong cannot support it, I want you, Lao Yan, to support Wangli Villa.”
As soon as the emperor said these words, Yan Ruohai suddenly felt the fighting spirit in his heart. Back then, Li Kurong's "One Sword Determined Shenzhou" defeated the three great masters of the Xiongnu Shanyu, and was praised by many people in the world as the current martial arts world with Leiyin Temple.
Qi Yun, a martial arts master who stood side by side with Master Kong Xiang and Master Qing Xin Shan Lochen, wanted to fight Li Kurong when he mastered Dragon Palm. However, when Qi Yun founded the country and destroyed Zhao, he had no chance.
Now if Li Kurong has gone crazy, if he is fine, he can finally realize his dream of fighting in this life. Yan Ruohai's heart suddenly became full of fighting spirit. There was no wind around him, and the flying snow outside Wan Xuexuan seemed to be felt.
Yan Ruohai's monstrous fighting spirit was swept up by Yan Ruohai's master momentum, which made the doors and windows of Wan Xuexuan roar.
The maids waiting outside the palace were all frightened by the sudden change in the sky. Yan Qingchuan, who was waiting for his father in the imperial garden, was even more frightened. Just now he felt his father's true energy and overwhelming fighting spirit, but this was
In the palace, how could my father lose his composure? But then a strong Qi of his father confronted his inner Qi. The two qi caused a great change in the sky outside Wan Xuexuan. Whether Yan Qingchuan was about to rush into Wan Xue
Xuanzhong didn't know whether he was rescuing the driver or investigating his father's situation. The two breaths disappeared instantly, and Yan Qingchuan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief in the imperial garden.
Zhongqi, who was waiting on the side with his eyelids drooping as if he was about to fall asleep, looked at Grandmaster Youlongzhang sitting in front of him. Hearing Li Kurong's name, his energy overflowed and his aura surged. He obviously forgot that he was in the palace.
. I saw Zhong Qi taking a step forward, protecting the emperor, and shouted softly: "Master Yan". An invisible wave of air came from his rickety figure, and it hit Yan Ruohai who was sitting upright. This momentum was unexpectedly
Not inferior at all, two waves of snow waves roared outside Tongyinxuan. Yan Ruohai was just thinking about fighting Li Kurong when he suddenly heard a voice transmission and woke him up like thunder. He suddenly came back to his senses and remembered that he was in Wan Xuexuan.
In the middle, the fighting spirit in his heart caused his true energy to overflow. He looked in front of him. The old eunuch who was always by his side was guarding him at the moment. His true energy was overflowing all over his body. He was so surprised that there was actually someone in the palace.
Although he was such a master, he also felt that this person's true energy was very familiar. For a moment, he couldn't remember where he had seen this person before. However, he could see that the saint's expression had not changed, holding the jade in his forearm and looking at him with a smile.
With a shiver in his heart, Yan Ruohai hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "I am a rough martial artist. Just now I heard the name of Li Kurong and lost my composure. I disturbed the Holy Master. Please punish me."
The emperor waved Zhongqi to step aside, but still smiled and helped Yan Ruohai up, and said: "Old Yan is the best master in the world. Hearing the name of Li Kurong, he has a fighting spirit in his heart. How could I not know that, it doesn't matter, I
I fought side by side with you back then, so I don’t have to live like this."
