Chapter 380 Who is Shen Lie (Part [-])
There was silence in the study, and Emperor Xuanyan stopped talking.

An Yuping stood aside, neither humble nor overbearing during the whole process.

After a long time, Emperor Xuanyan gently placed the jade ruyi in his hand beside the inkstone, and made a very soft and crisp sound.

"Send the Xuanwu army outside the city to enter the city," Emperor Xuanyan said, "Not only Dongping Academy, but all schools and colleges in Kyoto, no matter how big or small, cannot survive."

Sun Yike was slightly taken aback, bowed his head and said, "Yes."

"The palace guards, imperial guards, Jinwu guards, and Song Du must still be in the palace, and we must dig three feet to find him. Everyone in the Song and Huang houses, as well as those who have ties to the Song and Huang houses, must be counted. Find them all, leave none behind."

"Yes." Sun Yike took the order.

"You go down."

"The minister will leave." Sun Yike said.

Emperor Xuanyan looked at An Yuping, and said calmly, "An Qing."

An Yuping lowered his head: "Your Majesty."

"What do you think?"

An Yuping was stunned, and looked up at Emperor Xuanyan: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"Song Qingtang," Xuan Yandi said, "you are about the same age, and your fathers are all officials in the court. Do you have any contacts?"

An Yuping frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Return to Your Majesty, no, I am good at literature, he is good at martial arts, and my father has very little personal relationship with Song Shangshu, so..."

The corner of Emperor Xuanyan's lips curled up: "Then, what about Shen Lie? Do you know him?"

"Who is Shen Lie?" An Yuping asked.

Emperor Xuanyan looked at him, and found that there was no abnormality in his expression, and it was indeed not pretending to be confused.

Emperor Xuanyan withdrew his gaze, looked at the Huanglongyu Boyi Qingping Shifang brush rest under the pen holder, and said, "Guo Shu's grandson, Shen Lie, Shen Lie."

"So it's Senior Guo's grandson." An Yuping said.

"You don't know Song Qingtang well, so what do you think about Song Qingtang's actions this time is right or wrong?" Emperor Xuanyan asked again.

An Yuping felt more and more amused.

From the moment Emperor Xuanyan recruited him into the palace, An Yuping knew that what his elder brother An Yuchi told his father back then had really come true.

My father said that the number of refugees outside the city would increase tenfold.

Father said that according to the emperor's temperament, he would abandon the city.

My father said, it won't be long before we work hard.

The emperor asked him if he knew who Shen Lie was, and he said he didn't know, but how could he not know in fact.

No matter how unknown he is, he is also Guo Shu's grandson.

Moreover, long before the people in the palace went to An Mansion to call him into the palace, the eldest brother expected that he would be summoned.

Not only him, but all nobles and sons of noble families in the capital will be introduced into the palace.

When he entered the palace, he met Meng Xiaochuan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xuanping, and Jun Bolang, the only son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who was about to become their son-in-law Shi Tianyang.

As for the Guo family, although there is no one in the officialdom except Guo Zhaohai, the governor of Jiangzhou, Guo Erye, but the Guo family's prestige and status are there, and Shen Lie is in Beijing, so Emperor Xuanyan can't ignore it.

Even, compared to the Marquis Xuan Ping and Marquis Ding Yuan, those families that have been rooted for hundreds of years are what Emperor Xuan Yan is most eager to attack and value.

Shen Lie had no choice, it was impossible for him not to enter the palace, because Emperor Xuanyan would never let him go.

But to put it bluntly, not many people in the entire capital know that An's mansion has been emptied during the first few heavy snowfalls this winter. Now that the Taifu's mansion has entered the palace, only An Yuchi and a few others are left. The close entourage and personal guards maintained the illusion of prosperity there.

But Emperor Xuanyan's wishful thinking of using An Yuping to blackmail the Menzhi An clan was a big mistake.

Like now, wouldn't he know why Emperor Xuanyan called him to the study alone to talk about folk customs, and to paint and write poems?

Including, Emperor Xuanyan deliberately left him to listen to their conversation.

This is a solicitation, a hint, do you want to take him in and train him?
It's a pity, I, An Yuping, don't like the power of your Li family.

An Yuping raised his hand, saluted respectfully, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am actually confused about Song Qingtang."

"Confused?" Emperor Xuanyan said.

"Yes," An Yuping said, "Your Majesty said first that this was a premeditated plan."

Emperor Xuanyan raised his gray brows slightly, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at him.

"Your Majesty," An Yuping raised his head and met Emperor Xuanyan's gaze, "No one except Your Majesty could have known about Qingshan Academy in advance, and no one in Dongping Academy would have guessed that there would be such a thing." Jie. Your Majesty said that Song Shangshu and Huang Shilang are very courageous, but in my opinion, if they have premeditated rebellion, how dare they enter the palace again? As far as I know, Lord Lu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, did not enter the palace for some reason."

"So, could this be the case," An Yuping continued, "It is very likely that Song Qingtang was just leading troops through and patrolling the capital on a daily basis, when he encountered the Xuanwu Army, and the two sides clashed. General Du Yidelang thought that someone was provoking trouble, so he led his troops to support Song Qingtang, and the trouble became bigger and bigger. So, Your Majesty, I don't think this matter has anything to do with rebellion."

After a long time passed, Emperor Xuanyan smiled and said: "Are you saying that I am stupid and don't know how to analyze, so I'm not as good as you?"

An Yu Ping thumped his heart and shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth about my confusion."

"Then how to explain the disappearance of Song Du and Huang Mi? How to explain the escape of people from the Song and Huang dynasties? Song Qingtang did not rebel? Haha," Emperor Xuanyan laughed, his brows suddenly became ferocious, and he said fiercely, "Even if Song Qingtang really did not rebel, based on what he did today, I already want to cut him into pieces!"

An Yuping was frightened, cold sweat dripped down his back.

He thought he could straighten his back and disdain the favor of the emperor, but seeing the furious Emperor Xuanyan, he was still afraid after all.

"You are so stupid," Emperor Xuanyan looked at him, "Mr. An usually dotes on you too much. If you have one tenth of your father's intelligence, you will be fine. You can't hold your breath, and you don't know what you can do."

An Yuping lowered his head, blinked his eyes in fear, not knowing what to say.

"Go away," Emperor Xuanyan said impatiently, "I don't want to see you anymore."

An Yuping quietly took a deep breath, and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

An Yuping turned to leave, but was stopped by Emperor Xuanyan and asked him to take away the lake pavilion and water bridge that he had just made. When he spoke, Emperor Xuanyan's expression did not hide his disgust at all.

An Yuping was arrogant and arrogant. He had never been insulted like this before. He tried his best to hold back his temper, but he could only hold back his temper and obeyed orders.

After leaving Tiansheng Palace, under the leadership of several guards, An Yuping went to Dongming Palace.

The elder brother kept calming him down again and again, but he really couldn't hold it back, but that's fine, he couldn't bear the emperor's "favor" at all, so it's best not to look for him again.

As he walked, An Yuping's footsteps gradually slowed down, and he looked up at a group of passing soldiers in front of him.

After seeing the face of one of the soldiers clearly, An Yuping was startled, his eyes widened slightly.

Song Du also saw him, his heart beat in a panic, he quickly withdrew his gaze, and subconsciously approached Shen Lie beside him.
