Chapter 263 (2/2)
Yan Jintian was helpless and said, ”Your Majesty knows the most clearly whether the Yan family will rebel or not. Since your highness still can't believe me, you might as well ask our emperor to make an idea and then choose whether to use me again or kill me!”
He said this with a firm word, as if full of confidence.
Si Tu Ming was suspicious.
In fact, the emperor did not wake up these days. However, in order to appease the courtiers, he claimed that the emperor had awakened because he was weak and could not go to the court for the time being.
It is impossible for him to ask the emperor.
As Sima minglue thought about it, he had a flash of light in his mind -
the emperor couldn't open his mouth, but he also had a Duke Liu who had been with him for decades, and he should have known all the emperor's thoughts and secrets.
”Are you sure that your father will believe you?” Sima Ming said, quietly.
Yan Jintian laughed: ”I'm here now. It's up to your highness to believe me or kill me. Why don't you believe me again and listen to your Majesty's opinion. You won't lose anything.”
Seeing that he was deliberately implying something, situ Ming hesitated for a moment, or he got up and went out.
He didn't go to the back palace to see the emperor, but went into the side hall beside him, and at the same time, he sent for Mr. Liu.
Recently, Duke Liu has been left in the care of the emperor. Yan Jintian did not deal with him. However, he did not have more trust. Therefore, although he has nothing to do with himself for the time being, he is not at ease in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly heard that Yan Jintian wanted to see him, and he was worried.
”I have seen his highness King Rui!” When he entered the door, he knelt down and saluted.
Situ Ming turned around and looked down at him without calling.
”How is the father's health?” He asked.
Liu Gonggong couldn't figure out his mind. He fell on the ground and opened his mouth carefully: ”still It's the same as before
”Oh! Then you can continue to take good care of yourself. ” Situ Ming casually explained that when Duke Liu was confused, he suddenly said, ”Yan Jintian is back!”
”Ah?” Mr. Liu was very surprised and didn't understand what he meant for a long time.
He looked up at situ Ming in a daze. Si Tu Ming didn't have the patience to go around with him and stare into his eyes. He put pressure on him and said, ”Qiongzhou city was lost to him. It was a crime of beheading, but now he shows up and asks for an order from the king to lead troops to fight against King Zhao! This man's behavior is a bit strange and unpredictable. I don't know whether to believe him or not. But now my father is in a daze and can't take this idea. Duke Liu, you have served your father for many years, and you know his mind best. Therefore, I want to ask you if my father is awake at this time,Will you choose to believe him? ”
Liu Gonggong was nervous to remember every word he said, and reflected that it took a while for you to understand his meaning.
He secretly looked up at situ Ming, but he hesitated and did not dare to say: ”this This Servant... ”
”I didn't want to listen to your duplicity when I asked you to come.” Sima Ming said, his tone suddenly became stern. Duke Liu trembled and finally said: ”Your Highness, general Wuwei, the slaves know little about him, but Yan Taifu's old slaves still know a little about him. Yan's family has been guarding the border for the emperor all the time It's not as bad as that, is it? However, general Wuwei said that he wanted to make up for his mistakes It should be from the bottom of my heart! ”
He said this with great care and thought intermittently for fear that he might make a mistake.
However, after listening to him, situ Ming had already known clearly --
sure enough, there was something hidden in it.
He was not worried. He just looked at Liu Gong for a moment and said, ”it's hard to know. How can you expect Yan's family to be loyal to my Dongling royal family?”
”This...” Duke Liu is still hesitant, but he has been with the emperor for so many years, nothing else. But at least he is very good at guessing Shangyi. His highness King Rui is inducing confession. How can he not understand?
Some secrets, if the world is stable, he will insist on keeping his mouth shut for the emperor and carry them to the coffin. But now the situation is that the emperor is in a bad situation, and all the imperial palaces are under the control of situ Ming, and he does not dare to take chances.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he did not even hesitate for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth and said, ”has the emperor ever mentioned to his Highness the origin of Yan Taifu and Yan's family before?”
Situ Ming frowned: ”what? As far as I know, Yan Lang got his father's recognition because he offered advice to his father and worked with King Zhao on his expedition to Xijin to set up great achievements in the war. Then he ordered his horse to be a marquis. Is there any difference between them? ”
That old incident destroyed Xijin and the foundation of Nanyue tribe for many years, which directly led to the change of the world pattern. It can not be said that it is not tragic. Even now, Duke Liu is still in a cold sweat.
When he opened his mouth, there was some difficulty: ”then your highness knows only one of them.”
”Say it!” said situ Ming
Liu Gong justly said: ”in the battle of annexing Xijin, Yan Taifu really made great contributions, but one thing, his majesty did it for him. In fact...”
After all, it was too important. Duke Liu said that he could not help but wipe his cold sweat, and then he continued dryly: ”Yan Taifu was an important official in the Xijin dynasty. It is said that he was the initiator of the war that led to the subjugation of Xijin.”
”What?” This news, it can be said that the stone is groundbreaking, situ Ming can not help but change color. Duke Liu continued in a cold sweat: ”the reason why he would betray Xijin is not clear to the slaves. But it is true that he started the collapse of Xijin and the destruction of Nanyue clan. In recent years, the Yan Family devoted all their efforts to defend Qiongzhou city for his majesty, not only for the imperial court, but also for their Yan Family themselves. At that time, because they offended Xijin and Nanyue at the same time, the Yan family was desperate, so they changed their names to join us. However, Yan Taifu was really talented. In these years, he did not let down his Majesty's love for him. Therefore, his highness just asked the slave that general Wuwei could not be trusted. The slave felt that, in addition to relying on the protection of our Dongling royal family, their family had only one way to die. Because as long as your highness tells the South moon night emperor of their origin, then they will be killed quickly by the night family and the heaven. ”
Liu Gonggong's words convinced situ Ming that the Yan family would not betray Dongling, but that Yan Lian, with his own strength, was capable of stirring up so many things
Yan's family began to make him deeply worried.
When he returned to the imperial study, his expression was not relaxed, but more dignified than when he left.
Yan Jintian is still kneeling there, a pair does not care about the appearance.
In silence, situ Ming slowly walked back to the case and sat down.
Yan Jintian said: ”how, has your royal highness Rui made a decision at this time?”
Si Tu Ming slowly raised his head and looked at his calm face. For a long time, he suddenly whispered: ”You Yan family has a long history. You are such a volatile ambitious generation. Do you think I should believe you?”
Once upon a time, they were able to stab Xijin in the back. Now, how can situ Ming secure them around. ”Why not?” Yan Jintian said: ”the royal highness of King Rui has already grasped the lifeblood of the Yan Family and grasped my handle. Since you know that I have no way to retreat, why can't you believe me? What's more - I've been so frank in front of your highness, and I've revealed my short comings. This is my sincerity to your highness, isn't it? ”This is true. If situ Ming hands them over to Ye Qinghua and his son, they will die.
The reason given by Yan Jintian is full and reasonable.
However, from the bottom of his heart, situ Ming still did not believe him.
He pursed his lips in silence, weighing the pros and cons.
Yan Jintian waited for a moment. Seeing that he still didn't make up his mind, he sighed deeply: ”since his highness King Rui still can't make up his mind, I'll tell his highness more about the past and secrets.”
Si Tu Ming raised his eyes to look at him, and his vigilance did not diminish. Yan Jintian said calmly with a smile: ”you must be confused about the reason why Yan's betrayal of Xijin even led to the destruction of the country in Xijin. Indeed, with this warning, you can be forgiven if you don't believe that I will be loyal to the country and the country of Dongling. But I can tell you that the head of King Zhao's neck is bound to be brought back for you. Even if it is not for the stability of Dongling, he or I, the enemy of Yan's family, can take revenge and vent my personal anger, This reason is enough for you to believe me!
