Chapter 263 (1/2)
”How dare he come back?” Si Tu Ming threw the fold he had just got back to the table. Then he looked at the bodyguard kneeling down and said, ”who is he with? Did you come back alone? ”
Taking advantage of the chaos, Suzhou and Hangzhou fled from Qiongzhou city and told him all the things over there.
Although on the surface it is because of Yan Jinning, it is also a fact that Yan Jintian abandoned the city with water.
You know, Qiongzhou city has been the most important barrier between Dongling and Nanyue for many years. It's so easy to hand over to night Qinghua, which makes situ Ming not angry.
What's more, Yan Jintian, the initiator of the crime, has returned with such dignity?
”Only himself!” The bodyguard.
”What did he say?” For this man, situ Ming still dare not put down his guard easily.
”I didn't say anything, that is to say, if you have something important to do, you must ask your highness immediately!” The bodyguard.
He is not alone.
Sima minglue thought and nodded: ”bring him in to see me!”
”Yes The guard answered, got up and withdrew.
This is not close to the palace gate. After a period of time, he led Yan Jintian in from the outside.
At that time, situ Ming had been sitting quietly after the case, waiting for him.
Yan Jintian steps into the main hall.
He didn't mind that situ Ming took the shelf like this, and said to himself, ”Your Highness, King Rui! I haven't seen you for a long time
Although the words were polite, there was no respect between the expressions.
Si Tu Ming's heart was blocked and his face was slightly ugly.
But he was also patient and restrained. His fist was slightly clenched under his sleeve, but his face did not change.
He looked down at Yan Jintian and said coldly, ”Yan Jintian, you dare to come back!”
The weight of this sentence already means questioning and investigating.
Situ Ming was always uncertain about the purpose of his return, so he was somewhat hesitant and apprehensive. He was about to make a difficult decision. However, Yan Jintian suddenly lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down in front of him.
The weight of kneeling is also not light.
Si Tu Ming was unexpectedly cold on the spot.
Yan Jintian bowed his hand and said: ”because of his carelessness, he lost Qiongzhou city. He was ashamed of his great trust to his majesty and the imperial court, as well as his father's teaching for many years. One of the purposes of his return to Beijing is to plead for his Majesty's sins at this time.”
Si Tu Ming was more and more uncertain about his mind, so he was very careful.
His eyes were fixed on Yan Jintian's face, paying attention to any change of expression on his face.
But the man's look was so serious and serious that he could not see any clue.
”Excuse me? The general idea? ” As he thought slowly, situ Ming sneered sarcastically: ”Yan Jintian, are you not guilty of saying this? Qiongzhou was captured by the South moon, is it really because of your carelessness? As far as I know, it seems that the truth of the matter is not like this, is it
Yan Jintian has no shame on his face and is still magnanimous. He could even chuckle his lips and say, ”since your highness knows everything, there is no need for me to explain more. However, your highness, you should know that my sister-in-law has always been the apple of my father's eye. If anything else, it would be all right. If the emperor of the South moon attacked her and threatened her with her, he could not ignore her father's will and give up her life and death? I admit that I did not fight with blood or try my best to defend the city, but I had to. His highness King Rui is also a man of temperament. He should be able to understand it! ”
When it comes to people who are in love, situ Ming is really not.
He only felt this harsh, but he didn't refute anything. He just looked at Yan Jintian coldly with a sneer: ”you don't want to confuse the past with these painless words, and take these two words as the explanation to the king and his father?”
Yan Jintian said: ”of course not! Wei Chen has just said that returning to Beijing to plead guilty is only one of them. ”
”Oh?” Situ Ming raised his eyebrows and did not take the initiative to ask.
Yan Jintian obviously didn't intend to betray the truth: ”when I missed Qiongzhou, I admitted that it was the fault of Wei Chen, but since it was a mistake, it is natural to find a way to make up for it. The second thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to make up for my mistakes and make atonement for myself. ”
”Atonement?” After listening to a joke, situ Ming sneered: ”can Qiongzhou city be recovered just by your words?”
Yan Jintian said: ”for a while, I didn't have the confidence to boast about Haikou to get it back. But as compensation, I asked his highness King Rui to allow me to lead the troops northward. Wei Chen was willing to take the traitor King Zhao for you with his family and life as a guarantee.”
”For me?” Hearing this, situ Ming sneered like a joke.
Having learned from the past, he could not believe this man in any way.He said, ”I don't think there will be such kindness between you and me.”
Yan Jintian was calm and asked calmly, ”what does your highness Rui want?” The expression on situ Ming's face suddenly turned cold. With a heavy blow, he overturned a large pile of memorials to the ground. He leaned forward slightly, staring at Yan Jintian, gritted his teeth and said, ”you haven't given me a reasonable explanation for the fall of Qiongzhou City, but now you've come forward with clever words to fight king Zhao? Yan Jintian, how stupid you are to be our king. If I really let you go, would you take advantage of the forces in your hands to fight against each other? No matter what, how can I guarantee that the lost Qiongzhou city will not happen again? ”
After Qiongzhou city fell into the hands of Nanyue people, it was better that ye Qinghua only cared about pacifying the people and did not immediately take advantage of the opportunity to march northward.
Once Yan Jintian's old skills were repeated and he was defeated by the king of Zhao, his troops would have been limited at that time. If some of them were damaged this time, it would be impossible to guarantee that King Zhao would not take the opportunity to kill back to the capital.
Yan Jintian said: ”Your Highness, just now I have explained to you clearly that the fall of Qiongzhou city is not my wish. It's really the night emperor's cunning. If it wasn't for his attack on Ning'er, I wouldn't have let the city passively.” ”Let?” Situ Ming sneered: ”thank you have the face to say this word! A Qiongzhou City, a gateway on one side of the border, was let out by your understatement? Yan Jintian, you are not a new man in the army. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, you are so indistinguishable. How can Wang believe you
However, Yan Jintian laughed: ”Your Highness, in fact, my intention is not to be so suspicious. If I really have the heart of treason, I can offer the city to the night emperor on that day, shake hands with him and make peace with him. Why do you have to go all the way to find it back?”
Su and hang had explained the whole story of that day's incident, so situ Ming also knew that Yan Jintian had a chance to offer his city to the enemy at that time.
But he didn't.
The doubts in situ Ming's heart disappeared a little.
He is staring at Yan Jintian below, still looks bad.
Two people, facing each other.
After a long time, Yan Jintian finally compromised and sighed: ”excuse me, your highness, is the Emperor awake now?”
And then he asked, ”in vain?”
