The devil is coming

Chapter 685 Attack!
"Your Majesty, Master Zaifu is already waiting outside the imperial study."
Reported by Wei Zhonghe.
A hint of exhaustion flashed in Emperor Yan's eyes.
got out of the carriage,
Zhao Jiulang stood there, looking at Emperor Yan without saluting.
Emperor Yan walked towards this side with the support of Wei Zhonghe.
When the distance between the two parties reached a certain level, Zhao Jiulang sighed and knelt down:
"My lord, long live my emperor."
Emperor Yan spoke;
"I thought Lord Zaifu would take off his official hat and put it aside."
"I do think so, but after all, I, Dayan, am not a big official, and I don't have the habit of hanging on to my title and giving up my job."
"Yes."
Emperor Yan nodded and walked into the imperial study.
Zhao Jiulang stood up and followed him in.
Emperor Yan sat on the throne,
Zhao Jiulang knelt down below.
Whether it was Emperor Yan in the royal study or the prince overseeing the country, there were seats for all the dignitaries and ministers, but he did not sit down.
Wei Zhonghe stood inside and did not take the initiative to ask Mr. Zaifu to sit down.
"His Majesty."
Zhao Jiulang spoke.
This was a very familiar scene to Emperor Yan;
Many ministers began to use "morals", "rules", "etiquette" and "all people". In short, when the ministers felt that his reasons were sufficient and he was full of courage,
This will be the way to start.
Originally, Zhao Jiulang couldn't do it. As the Prime Minister, he was supposed to be the leader of the bureaucratic group in the court to check and balance the imperial power. However, in the years after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, he never took the lead in disobeying Emperor Yan's will;
He didn't care even if the government and the public gave him the nickname Prime Minister or Nitai Chief Assistant.
But today,
it's here,
he,
it has started.
Although he hadn't spoken yet, Emperor Yan already knew what he was going to say.
Emperor Yan, he was still Emperor Yan after all. When he sat in the royal study, sitting on this chair, he was like the eyes behind the candles, while the officials were like dolls trembling among the candles.
Simultaneously,
Emperor Yan also knew why Zhao Jiulang dared to do it for the first time at this time;
because,
he,
Ji Runhao,
old.
It's not about age, but coming out of the back garden this time has almost announced that the emperor's longevity has truly entered a countdown.
A young and powerful Emperor Yan,
He can change his prime minister at will, and as long as he shows the slightest sign of disobedience, he can stand aside, check and balance, or even send him away from a distance.
but,
old emperor,
When faced with this situation,
All he had left was compromise.
He is back, back to his center of power, but he is no longer the Nine-Five Supreme Being who takes life and death. He knows, and his ministers also know, that his time is running out.
Relatively speaking,
Now it is the aging emperor's turn to hope to preserve the stability of the entire court in an orderly manner and hand it over to his descendants.
"Your Majesty, An Neng is so casual about this important matter of the country, which is related to the safety of the country. An Neng is so casual, An Neng is such a child's play, An Neng... is like this!"
Zhao Jiulang said, "Long songs should be cried."
Emperor Yan smiled,
This look,
this tone,
this gesture,
Yes, yes. As expected of Zaifu, whom he promoted all the way, he, Zhao Jiulang, can actually play the tricks that officials can play better and is more devoted.
between monarch and ministers,
No argument,
Because they are so familiar with each other that if they go through all the arguments in their own minds, they can almost imagine the other party's immediate reaction;
Therefore, there is no need to say it out loud, it saves both of us trouble.
But because it was too fast, it was a bit too thin. However, Zaisu still controlled his emotions very well.
He didn't take off his hat,
Instead, he took off his official uniform,
exposed his arms,
even,
He also reached out to his chest and patted it.
"Your Majesty, I didn't bring a coffin."
Among the Yan army, there has always been a story about the past of Pingxi Marquis. It is said that when Pingxi Marquis went to war in the early years, he would definitely carry a coffin with him and be prepared to fight to the death.
But actually,
It is inconvenient to carry a coffin during a war, and those who really like to carry out coffins at every turn are actually civil servants.
Zhao Jiulang said,
He came without a coffin;
It means that he did not bring it with him to save trouble;
His Majesty,
There is a coffin beside you.
Emperor Yan nodded.
"Your Majesty, I have entered the Prince's Palace as a curtain, followed Your Majesty to the East Palace as a subordinate officer, followed His Majesty to the palace and ascended the throne, from Minister to Prime Minister, I have never disobeyed any of Your Majesty's will;
But this time,
臣，
I have to admonish Your Majesty:
His Majesty,
you are old,
Naturally, you can do anything when you are here, but please, Your Majesty, set the rules for the future generations of Yan! "
A matter of national origin,
You can do whatever you want,
You are the emperor,
You are the father of princes,
You are the most powerful monarch in Dayan in the past hundred years;
You can do whatever you want,
But after you do whatever you want, who will clean up this mess?
"My love."
"The minister is here."
"Then tell me, who should I choose?"
"As a minister, you should abide by your principles. The prince has done nothing wrong. Since he has been in charge of the country, he has worked diligently and diligently. I would like to ask your majesty, since you have comforted the Imperial Ancestral Temple and appointed the prince;
Please, Your Majesty,
Give the prince dignity,
Give dignity to the Ancestral Temple,
Give dignity to the country of Yanjiangshan! "
This is civilian political correctness.
The prince is already half a man.
In the court, the existence of the Liuye Party can be allowed, but when others ask you in a formal setting, even if you are a die-hard Liuye Party, it is impossible to say that the prince should be abolished and the sixth master should be established!
This is disobedience, disobedience to others.
"Prince, you didn't make any mistakes?" Emperor Yan shook his head, "If it weren't for my support, the prince would have been unable to sit still in the East Palace."
Without him, the emperor would have gone astray.
The Liuye Party has long suppressed the princelings until they can hardly breathe.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is your appointed prince. If you don't support the crown prince, who will?"
"I have not deposed the prince."
"But now, people in both the government and the public are already in panic. Your Majesty, I implore you to make plans early and decide the matter early!"
In other words,
It’s true that I support the prince,
But you can also change to the prince,
But please,
hurry up!
"I'm not dead yet."
"Your Majesty, do you know why I didn't do my best today and didn't bring that coffin into the palace?
With my salary, can’t I afford a piece of good longevity food?
Is it because I have no servants that I can’t move this material? "
In other words,
Because of,
Your Majesty, you are almost here,
Therefore, I dare not use the coffin to offend your taboo.
Emperor Yan looked at Wei Zhonghe who was standing beside him.
road;
"Look, this is my minister, and he is worthy of being my prime minister."
"Your Majesty, when I was in the Prince's Palace, you were my master; when I was in the East Palace, you were my master; now, you are the Majesty of Dayan, and I am the Prime Minister of Dayan.
臣，
It should be the plan for Dayan’s future generations! "
finished,
Zhao Jiulang rested his forehead on the blue brick of the imperial study room.
Emperor Yan closed his eyes,
Zhao Jiulang also remained motionless.
a long time,
Emperor Yan said:
"I'm hungry."
Wei Zhonghe immediately walked out and shouted;
"Pass the meal!"
The royal meal was brought in quickly.
Just like before, two copies.
Wei Zhonghe walked to Zhao Jiulang and said, "Master Zaifu, let's eat first."
Zhao Jiulang raised his head,
There is an obvious dark blue color on his forehead.
Without being coy or pretentious, he stood up and saluted Emperor Yan:
"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."
immediately,
He sat down on one side.
Meals are very simple.
Zhao Jiulang eats very quickly. He has long developed the habit of eating while working.
Where is Emperor Yan?
I used it for a little bit and then stopped.
Zhao Jiulang finished eating.
Look at the imperial case on Emperor Yan's side.
Wei Zhonghe understood, stepped forward, picked up the remaining food in front of His Majesty, and was about to deliver it to Zhao Jiulang.
At the beginning, when His Majesty's health first started to deteriorate, his appetite went away. Basically, Zhao Jiulang would eat for two people at every meal.
He is very supportive,
But you still have to eat it,
We cannot let the outside world know that something is wrong with the Emperor of Dayan.
But this time,
Emperor Yan raised his hand,
Blocked the Wei Zhong River,
Simultaneously,
Looking at Zhao Jiulang,
Road:
"Aiqing, there is no need to hold on any longer. Don't burst your stomach."
said,
Emperor Yan leaned back slightly,
road;
"Just leave the leftovers there. Everyone knows from top to bottom that my body is not going to get better."
Zhao Jiulang opened his mouth,
This skill is absolutely top-notch. Dayan Zaifu, who has been entrusted with important tasks by the late emperor for twenty years, burst into tears at this time.
he got up,
Kneel down on the ground,
Road:
"Your Majesty, I will die, I will die."
"My dear, I suddenly miss the rice cakes made by my grandpa. At this time, I really want to eat a piece."
"minister……"
"It's a pity that Grandpa is no longer here."
Emperor Yan sighed,
"No more."
Zhao Jiulang stopped talking, and Wei Zhonghe stopped talking. No one dared to disturb the king's memorial at this time;
“Some people are no longer here;
Those who are still here are not necessarily happy.
Wei Zhonghe,
You feel,
Is it worth it? "
"Your Majesty, although I am a eunuch, if Dayan needs it one day, I will rush forward with a knife without hesitation. For Dayan and Your Majesty, I will not hesitate to die!"
Emperor Yan returned his gaze to Zhao Jiulang.
Road:
"My dear, there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow. I don't want to see hundreds of officials coming to petition me to force the palace. What I am most afraid of right now is the noise."
"I obey the decree, and I will help your Majesty calm down the heated discussions among the ministers."
"Well, this Dayan can't live without Aiqing."
"Sir, panic."
"Okay, dear, go and do your work. It's time for me to rest."
"My minister retire."
Zhao Jiulang stood up,
Just when he was about to walk out of the imperial study room,
Emperor Yan suddenly said:
"My dear, is it worth it?"
Zhao Jiulang took a deep breath,
laughed:
"Your Majesty, minister, you can't even be inferior to Eunuch Wei, right?"
Wei Zhonghe immediately became angry.
Of course, not really angry.
At his position, how could he get angry at will when someone calls him a eunuch?
Moreover, it was still a joke from the current prime minister.
The reason why he looked angry was to let His Majesty see the excitement.
"Ha ha………"
Emperor Yan smiled,
Pointing at Zhao Jiulang,
To the Wei Zhong River:
"Wei Zhonghe, can you bear this?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for your slaves. Master Zaifu is too embarrassed!"
……
Although in front of his father and the two princes, he shouted the slogan of cutting down the vassal;
But after coming out of the roast duck restaurant, Ji Laoliu still led Zheng Fan back to his palace.
He Sisi and Ling Xiang came out to meet the guests, bringing two babies with them.
Marquis Zheng each wrapped a red envelope, which was very thick and piled with copper coins.
After meeting the people you should meet and teasing the children you should tease,
Ji Chengjue led Zheng Fan into his study.
There is no secret room in the study, because if the study cannot be properly taken care of, then Ji Laoliu would have stopped seizing the legitimate heir and gone to sell cornmeal earlier.
Zheng Fan sat down by himself and crossed his legs.
After being fed a mouthful of baby food again, I felt really depressed.
After Ji Chengjue sat down, he picked up the wind oil essence produced by the Hou Mansion and applied it on his eyebrows and temples. Today, he was truly exhausted both physically and mentally.
"Old Zheng, I'm suffering."
"Cherish this meeting. The next time we meet, it will be at your grave."
This ridicule,
What Marquis Zheng said didn't sound like a joke;
Ji Laoliu did not become angry, but nodded and smiled.
After a period of calming down about the roast duck restaurant, the two of them actually had a certain new understanding.
When sitting in the carriage, both parties look at each other and can see the required message in each other's eyes.
It wasn’t the wind from Jin that blew to Yanjing.
It was purely because the two of them had sensed certain traits similar to their own in each other since their first meeting at the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
"You didn't remind me." Ji Chengjue pointed at Zheng Fan, "King Jingnan has this attitude."
"I didn't know anything about it beforehand. When I was in Litian City, the prince once asked me which prince I thought was more suitable to inherit the throne."
"How did you get back?"
"You know, I have always promoted worthy people and never avoided relatives. I directly recommended you, thinking that you are the best candidate for the future king of Dayan."
Ji Laoliu dug his ears with his little finger.
Then he put it to his lips and blew on it,
Road:
"I'm very touched, but I still don't believe you would say that."
"Then what do you think I would say?"
"You probably think it doesn't matter. Anyway, you have become a vassal town, and King Jingnan is determined to protect you. No matter who will sit on that dragon chair in the future, you are in the east of Shanxi, in your palace. , can continue to hit your pushing hands from a distance.
You,
same as me,
Mind,
The most cool thing. "
"You actually look at me like this?"
"uh-huh."
Lord Zheng stood up, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Okay, then I will go to the East Palace to pay homage to the prince."
may,
In the eyes of others,
it's a threat
It's like flirting between brothers,
But Ji Laoliu leaned forward,
Looking at Zheng Fan,
asked;
"You didn't tell me when we were in the store, why?"
Why should we stack two coffee tables together?
Why should you decide to end yourself too;
even,
Why are you coming home with me today?
"You could have watched the show from the other side, with two handfuls of peanuts in your hand, but why, why did you have to go out in person?
Don't say it's for me,
You, Zheng Fan, will switch places with me one day,
I won't end up,
I just know,
Protect your family. "
"Do you want to sit on that dragon chair?" Zheng Fan asked.
"I want to know even more what you want to do."
"Don't worry about it, I have to do it." Zheng Fan looked at Ji Chengjue and said word by word, "You haven't sat on the throne yet, why are you asking so much?"
"My surname is Ji."
Ji Chengjue sat back in his chair.
continued,
"Some things will not change whether I sit on the Dragon Throne or not. My intuition tells me that you are going to play a big game, and it will threaten Dayan's society."
"Don't worry, I won't stab you."
"You don't dare to stab me." Ji Chengjue said solemnly, "Tell me what you want to do, and I can help you."
"Telling you will only make things difficult for you."
Zheng Fan also sat down again,
"Let's take a step and take a look."
"Okay, okay." Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyebrows again.
This is obviously a default.
Zheng Fan smiled, "Sure enough, the stability of the country is not as important as a person's throne."
"I'm becoming a father."
"Okay, you can shut up."
"Father of three children."
"I want to go to the East Palace."
"I may continue to be the father of more children in the future."
"I'm going to join the prince."
"Hahahahaha." Ji Chengjue spread his hands and placed them in front of Zheng Fan, "I want that chair, I have to, I swear to you, you help me, I will help you.
If we don't say we don't owe each other, let's just trust each other again like we did in the desert. I quite like that feeling.
This big swallow,
This is Yanjing City,
There are not many people who are more important than you, Ping Xihou. "
"Don't talk too much." Zheng Fan stared at Ji Chengjue's eyes seriously, "I'll say the ugly words first, high-five each other, it's simple, but after I help you, if you dare to forget you because of our different positions Today’s vows;
Sorry,
I will be very angry.
By the time,
Even if you, Ji Laoliu, sit on that dragon chair,
Unless you kill me in Yanjing City,
Once I leave the capital alive,
I will do whatever it takes to overthrow your empire and kill... your whole family.
I don't like the drama of trusting a friend and then being betrayed. It's too vulgar, too boring, and too jarring. "
finished,
Lord Zheng spread his palms;
Ji Chengjue smiled and scolded: "Zheng, don't look down on others. I was also a man of martial arts back then. Go to Nan'an County to find out about the reputation of my hero Yan Xiaoliu!
In this life,
You have to have your brain warmed up, why are people so crazy, so that life can be interesting.
The surname is Zheng,
I followed! "
finished,
Ji Chengjue took the initiative to high-five Zheng Fan.
"Snapped!"
After high fives,
The two sides quickly sat down.
Ji Chengjue said:
"The relationship between my father and the two princes can be said to be in constant chaos. Xiao Qi's appointment is the safest way to bring harmony to the family. At least, it will continue to be harmonious in the next few years."
Zheng Fan said, "But the two princes want to see the excitement."
paused,
Zheng Fan added, "Or, in their eyes, only by using a knife can you truly be at peace."
"They don't want to establish the foundation of the country, but they want to see our brothers kill each other." Ji Chengjue said.
"So... we can't hesitate anymore, it's time to take action."
"No." Ji Chengjue shook his head, "It's time to use the sword. Since the elders want to see the younger generations fight, then I, Yan Xiaoliu, will show my shame.
Tomorrow my eldest brother will return to the capital, and there will be a banquet in the palace. Since the two kings and princes are gathered together, my father will definitely hold a great court meeting the day after tomorrow, and my first blow will fall on the great court meeting.
You, just wait and see the next good show. "
"Wait and see."
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."
"Yeah." Zheng Fan nodded.
Ji Chengjue stood up.
Pick up the brush and dip it in enough ink,
On the paper in front of me,
I wrote eight words:
"Follow the emperor's edict to carry out the destiny"
"What's the matter, are you feeling itchy?" Zheng Fan asked, "While I still have some time, I can accompany you to think about your posthumous title."
Ji Laoliu blew on the paper in front of him twice.
Road:
"Actually, it's quite boring."
"what happened again?"
"Next, you will see that if my father and the others don't take action, it won't be a big deal if I beat those brothers."
"Snapped!"
Ji Chengjue clapped his hands,
Stretched,
Road:
"Just watch."
