Dragon Warrior

Chapter 186
Time flies, and before you know it, two days have passed.

On the morning of the full moon of the prince, the palace was extremely lively, eunuchs and maids shuttled back and forth, palace guards patrolled all directions, ministers, princes, nobles, clansmen and elders gathered together, and in a festive atmosphere, the emperor and queen joined hands to attend.

The Fushou Banquet was held in a large square in the palace. Dozens of tables of delicacies were neatly arranged on the field. Everyone sat in order according to their status. On the side are the head of the hundred officials, the prime minister and the new Taiwei Polo Timur.

When the time came, there was only a sound of the bell, and the emperor arrived, and all the officials bowed down and saluted. The emperor took Qi Chengniang and sat on the throne, and raised his hand to let the officials rest.

Accompanying the emperor were the great shaman enshrined by the Yuan Empire, the blond and blue-eyed Persian Mingjiao senior, the national teacher Huo Yushun and his party, the Dongying swordsman Liusheng Yunshang, etc.The civil and military officials had known these people for a long time, and knew that their relationship with the emperor was not simple, so no one raised any objections.

Of course, the most important thing is that during this period of time, this emperor who did not do much actually used thunderous means to take down the leader of the military generals, the generals of the world's soldiers and horses, and the Taiwei Chahan Temuer, which made the original contempt for him a little bit. People's hearts are awe-inspiring.

Although Pu Buhua seized the emperor's authority little by little since he moved to Boyan and bestowed death on him, and was even reduced to a puppet for a time, and was underestimated by all the officials, but as he joined forces and recruited foreign aid, Taking advantage of Pu Buhua's injury and retreat, he regained a lot of power, so the officials who followed suit began to sing praises for him again.

Moreover, Eunuch Park seems to have changed since he was injured in Wan'an Temple last time. He no longer suppressed the emperor everywhere, and even helped the emperor clear many obstacles intentionally or unintentionally. Many masters were sent there, and if King Ruyang dared to resist the order and did not obey, he would be killed on the spot.

After the emperor sat down, he cleared his throat and said: "At this time when the country's affairs are difficult and the rebels are making trouble, I am very happy to have a prince, and I am very relieved. This is the blessing of the ancestors and the gift of longevity. Help me take down the traitors in one fell swoop, and protect our country from generation to generation."

All the ministers bowed to the ground, and the prime minister, Sijian, came out and said: "The emperor is on behalf of the heavens to shepherd and hunt, and the rain and dew are covered by the world. We and the subjects are all bathed in the majestic grace of the emperor. It is time to unite as one, reduce the chaos of ants, and serve our father. However, the people like Cha Khan can't understand the heart of heaven and share the worries for the king and father, and they can't protect the environment and the people and cure the scabies. Instead, they are ambitious and intend to commit chaos. Fortunately, my emperor is wise and powerful, and he has insight into this thief's treachery, saving countless swordsmen The disaster, the envoys will enjoy peace, and the ministers will thank our emperor for his grace."

Emperor Zhizheng looked at the civil and military officials who prostrated themselves under his steps with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Chahan's traitor is really hateful, and I trust him a lot. I'm a confidant, and I trust him with military and state affairs. If I don't want this person, I don't want to serve The imperial court, on the contrary, was unable to fill their desires, and almost fell into a situation where I would never be able to recover. Such a low-ranking and virtuous person is rare in the ages. Today, all the ministers are gathered together, and I should call Chahan to come to the king to make a prelude, and see what this person has to say .”

Immediately, at the behest of Emperor Zhizheng, a young eunuch sang loudly: "Bring the guilty minister, Chahan." After a while, a group of guards from the Imperial Army came, escorting a half-hundred-year-old man with his hands and feet in shackles.

Chahan walked to the emperor's throne, knelt down and said, "Chen Chahan sees the emperor."

There was a trace of sigh on Emperor Zhizheng's face, and he said majesticly: "Chahan, are you guilty?"

Chahan knelt up straight and said: "This humble minister is not guilty. If you insist that there is, it means that the minister's power is too heavy. It shouldn't make the emperor sleepless at night like a light on his back."

Qin Sijian went out and shouted: "Bold. Chahan, you have colluded with traitors and conspired to rebel. The crime is unforgivable. Now the emperor is generous, and the Holy Grace is inquiring. You don't want to repent of your sins. Instead, you deny in every possible way and ridicule the Holy Lord. Do you still have distinctions in your eyes?"

Chahan looked at the prison prison coldly, and said indifferently: "If you want to impose a crime, there is nothing to worry about. The prime minister wants to accuse Chahan of unnecessary crimes. What's the benefit of Chahan talking more?"

Qin Sijian said: "Presumptuous, are you comparing yourself to Yue Fei? The implication is that the emperor is a foolish emperor, and the real face is a traitor. The court is full of officials, and you, Chahan, are the only ones who serve the country and the people?"

Chahan said: "Since the prime minister wants to be seated according to the number, it's up to you."

Emperor Zhizheng's eyes turned cold, and he was very dissatisfied with Chahan comparing himself to Song Gaozong, and said immediately: "Chahan, I know that you have made a lot of contributions to Dayuan, but I bestow high-ranking officials, honors, glory and wealth, which is enough Reward you for your merits. You are originally a branch of the royal family, and your family fortune has long since fallen. My favor is unfailing. Why do you want to live up to my painstaking efforts?"

Chahan said: "I have never dared to forget the emperor's kindness to my ministers. Over the years, I have been sleepy all these years, and I have been fighting in the South and the North. I only hope that the rebellion will be reconciled as soon as possible to repay my emperor's great kindness. However, the emperor was deceived by a traitor. As a result, the government is corrupt, and the state affairs are in decline. Even if the ministers have three heads and six arms, they are unable to hold the sky with one hand. Today, the emperor listens to the words of the treacherous, and believes that Chahan has the heart of disobedience, and the death of Chahan is not a pity. I only hope that the emperor will love the virtuous ministers from now on. , Yuan Xiaoren, don’t let my Dayuan Sheji be cut off.”

Emperor Zhizheng said with a gloomy expression: "Chahan, do you think that without you, my Dayuan will definitely perish?"

Chahan said: "There are so many heroes among our Mongols. If the emperor can choose the sages and use them, why is the country's affairs like this? Since the emperor has recruited Polo Timur, he must entrust him with military affairs. However, not everyone is as considerate of the overall situation as I am, and I hope that the emperor will take care of himself and not be counterproductive."

Emperor Zhizheng said: "I have my own opinions on military and state affairs. Since you refuse to plead guilty, you may explain to me why you were captured alive by hundreds of reckless people under the protection of tens of thousands of troops? And Can you return safely later?"

Chahan said: "The emperor looks down on the reckless people in the world, even if I tell you, you won't believe it."

Emperor Zhizheng said coldly: "If you want to say that the boy surnamed Xiao is too good at martial arts, I really don't believe it, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty will believe it. Do you think I and the Manchu civil and military officials are all fools?"

Chahan said: "The emperor has preconceived ideas and underestimated the threat of the Jianghu people too much. I have nothing to say."

Emperor Zhizheng said: "I really don't understand why you are just a desperado in the rivers and lakes, why your father and daughter are so proud of you. Especially Minmin, the majestic princess of Dayuan, whom I personally conferred, actually loves a lowly Han slave." , I have completely lost the face of my golden family."

Chahan said: "Forgive me, although that kid is a Han Chinese, his character and martial arts are all first-class in the world. Looking around the world, Chahan has never seen a younger generation who can match him. Minmin can see It's not bad to see him, it's better than entering the palace as a concubine and messing up the relationship."

Emperor Zhizheng's scars were uncovered, he could no longer restrain his anger, and said: "Presumptuous, I am in the ninth and fifth ranks, rich in the world, I am not ten thousand times stronger than that kid, I hate that your father and daughter are devoted to me It would be a waste of my pains to fight against you. Chahan, you are so stubborn, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Chahan stood up and said, "Since the moment I was captured with nothing to do, I have never thought of getting out alive. Does the emperor really think that he can trick me into entering the palace alone with an imperial decree?"

Emperor Zhizheng said with a gloomy face, "What do you mean?"

Chahan said: "Your Majesty, I have been in charge of the world's soldiers and horses for more than ten years, and I also have some status in the court. Do you really think that you can hide what you have done from me? Moreover, if the minister intends to rebel, a Polo Timur I'm not qualified enough to stop it."

As soon as this remark came out, not only the Emperor Zheng, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Polo Timur, were all stunned, thinking about the supervisor and saying: "Chahan, don't be so eloquent, if it's as you said, how could you become a grandson today?" Prisoner?"

Chahan sighed: "A traitor like you will never understand. The most important thing in Chahan's heart is never his own life, death and wealth, but the Great Yuan Empire that I have devoted my life to. If you rebel , even if it succeeds, the internal struggle will never end from now on, and the remaining vitality of the empire will be exhausted in a short period of time. Luo Timur's ability is outstanding, and he can last at least ten or twenty years. If I exchange my life for 20 years of the empire, how can I be shocked even if I die?"

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and all of them looked at the Zhizheng Emperor sitting on the throne for a moment, their eyes full of doubts.Emperor Zhizheng became angry from embarrassment and said: "Chahan, when you are about to die, you still dare to pretend to be false. You really are a person who is as hypocritical as good and as treacherous as loyal. I will not keep you."

Chahan said: "Chahan spent half his life as a soldier and horse, and he put life and death aside. He only hated his power to help the building collapse. But Chahan tried his best, and after death, he is worthy of his ancestors and gods. Your Majesty, it is easy for you to kill old ministers, but I hope you will do the same in a hundred years. Can be worthy of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan!"

The veins on Zhizheng's forehead were exposed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since you want to die for the country, how can I not grant you? Come and give me wine."

"Yes!" An eunuch bowed and answered, then took out a jug of wine, walked up to Chahan, and said, "Chahan, this is the poisoned wine specially prepared by the Holy Majesty, why don't you thank me?"

Chahan laughed loudly, and said: "The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. The Yuan Dynasty will never die, but the country is about to perish. How can there be no people who fight for righteousness? Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang and other heroes who have been awe-inspiring for thousands of years, how can I, the man from the prairie, let them be more beautiful than before? Today, let me embellish the picturesque landscape of Dayuan with my green blood!"

Seeing King Ruyang's death, all the ministers felt complicated. Many of them used to be the backbone of King Ruyang's lineage, but at this moment, no one dared to speak out for him.

The emperor even prepared the poisoned wine, obviously his murderous intent towards King Ruyang was irresistible, it was too late for them to separate themselves from each other, how dare they stand up and speak for King Ruyang?

But what about after killing King Ruyang?Without the last white jade pillar supporting the sky, how far can the leaky broken ship of the empire go?
No one could give an answer, even the emperor himself was in a trance for a moment when he saw Chahan drinking the poisoned wine calmly.

Does such a chahan really have the heart of treason?Is it true that I killed him?
With a jug of turbid wine in his throat, Chahan's footsteps became staggering, cold sweat gradually dripped from his forehead, and he fell to the ground after a while.
