Hidden Sky Light

Chapter 140: the dust settles

Chen Xiuyuan hugged A Nian and walked in from outside the hall, followed by the Wanzhou garrison behind him.

Ah Nian, who was in his arms, had a gray face, red eyes, and drooping corners of his mouth. He was brave and didn't cry, but he had cried "wow" when he saw it earlier, and he had also experienced an accident. He was stable, and he stretched out his arms to hug Chen Xiuyuan's neck.

"Go find your royal father." Chen Xiuyuan said warmly.

"Yeah." A Nian nodded.

Chen Xiuyuan leaned over and put down Ah Nian.

With tears still in her eyes, Ah Nian walked quickly to the Temple of the Son of Heaven step by step.

In fact, he really wanted to run away, and also wanted to call out to the emperor, but he held back. This is the main hall. Ah Nian tried to slow down as much as possible, but when he got close to him, he couldn't hold back any longer. Get up, "Father, Father, Emperor!"

A Nian threw himself into Chen Ling's arms.

Chen Ling was horrified...

Seeing Ah Nian's appearance, Chen Ling was worried, fortunate, and fearful.

"It's alright, Nian Nian." Chen Ling rarely hugged him in the hall, his hands hidden between the sleeves of the large dragon robe trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little dense. When he lowered his eyes, the long eyelashes were hidden. With Twelve Yuzao's crowned, there is no clue from a distance.

In the hall, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Xiuyuan in surprise, he, when did he come back?

Don't you mean to go to the south, to go to the middle of the year?

Chen Xiuyuan kept following Ah Nian's eyes until Ah Nian threw himself into Chen Ling's arms, then Chen Xiuyuan turned to look at him and said calmly, "It's time to wake up from the Spring and Autumn Dream."

After speaking, he paced closer again and teased, "When is it your turn?"

Chen Yuan looked at him in shock.

Whether it was the sense of oppression on his body or the words in his mouth, a thought that should have been absurd suddenly flashed in Chen Yuan's mind, but now it was extraordinarily reasonable.

——Even if the throne of the emperor is not Chen Ling's, it will not be his and Chen Xian's, because, and Chen Xiuyuan...

Chen Yuan looked at him in disbelief, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.

Chen Xiuyuan approached, only the other party heard the voice whispering, "You want to rebel? If you want to do it so well, I have already done it, and it's the two of you, eh?"

"Chen Xiuyuan..." Chen Yuan gritted his teeth.

Chen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Oh, right, my surname is Chen too, why did you forget it?"

Just now, this sentence was really poured on Chen Yuan's head like a basin of cold water. Even if he and Chen Xian coveted the throne of Yanhan for the rest of their lives, as long as Chen Xiuyuan was there, it would be a gulf between the two of them.

Chen Xiuyuan did not oppose Chen Ling, but it did not mean that he would not oppose him and Chen Xian.

Especially when I saw Chen Xiuyuan holding Chen Nian into the hall just now and talking to Chen Nian in a warm voice...

Chen Yuan suddenly laughed at himself. There were thousands of calculations, but he didn't expect Chen Xiuyuan to be here. He thought that Chen Ling was in power.

The more Chen Yuan laughed, the louder his voice became.

From the very beginning, he and Chen Xian, as well as him and the teacher, were all wrong...

Farther and farther, farther and farther.

Chen Xiuyuan saw his expression and didn't look at him again, "Your Majesty. Wei Chen has just entered the capital, and he saw that General Qu and the Prince of Pingnan Hou Shizi were bringing Ziyiwei and Fengzhou garrison together, fighting fiercely with the Yicheng garrison. General Qu was afraid of His Majesty. Worry, let Wei Chen enter the palace first and tell His Majesty."

Didn't Qu Bianying go north to **** grain and grass?

Everyone in the hall remembers this.

"I know." Chen Ling responded.

——Bian Ying, to **** grain and grass to the north, you asked Shi Huaiyuan to go with Fan Yu, and you followed in name, and then turned back in four or five days. Staring at Chen Yuan and Huang Xuwen for me, as well as the defense in Beijing. There must be Chen Xian's inner ghost in the forbidden army, otherwise he would not dare to be so confident. Sheng Wenyu has secretly told Fengzhou garrison to go north. At that time, when he is in the palace, you and Fan Zhuo will bring Ziyiwei and Fengzhou garrison to clean up the outside of the palace for me.

She has been waiting for Chen Yuan.

Chen Ling looked at Chen Yuan, not knowing what Chen Xiuyuan said before, Chen Yuan's emotions in the hall seemed to be out of control.

At the moment, he spoke directly and sneered, "So the teacher is in your hands, Chen Xiuyuan?"

Chen Xiuyuan turned around, "Oh, kill him, shouldn't he have died long ago?"

Chen Yuan's eyes were red.

Chen Xiuyuan said in a low voice, "The teacher and the apprentice are deeply in love, so why don't you go down and accompany him?"

"You!" Chen Yuan was speechless.

Chen Xiuyuan chuckled, "Or, I'm not a kind person either..."

Chen Yuan laughed loudly again, "So, Chen Ling, you made me and Chen Xian think that you were desperate, so Shen resigned to the north, thinking that you only had Sheng Wenyu by your side, and Sheng Wenyu would only stay in the temple, and there was no way to take care of Beijing. And the defense in the palace. But you asked Qu Bianying to go north under the guise of transporting food, and you made Lu Mingjian squat in the Dali Temple prison. In fact, it was a cover up, and Qu Bianying and Lu Mingjian commanded the Ziyiwei and Fengzhou Garrison to be the backstop in the city. Oh, after all, we underestimated you."

Chen Ling also looked at him, "I also underestimated you. You let Chen Xian rush in front of everything, and you let people fan the flames behind. First, Hucheng's official bank was stolen, and then Shen's resignation came to the forefront. Chen Xian will return to Beijing full of confidence. , you are behind the scenes, and all parties have encouraged him to this point, right?"

This time, Chen Yuan smiled calmly, "Since I have done everything, I never thought about getting out of my body. Chen Ling, you are lucky, you have these courtiers to protect you. But let me choose again, I still I will do this. This throne should not belong to you from the beginning. If the royal father did not take you back to Beijing, there would be no such things in the future. The royal father loves you, and when the eldest brother is here, the royal father treats you as if The younger son is guarding and taking care of everything; the elder brother is gone, he will help you to become the crown prince, what do you have? Why do you? I didn't figure it out, didn't Chen Xian also figure it out?"

Chen Yuan stepped forward and said, "Chen Xian and I are also the sons of our father. We grew up under his eyes. How can we not compare to you? We were born in Beijing, and our father's teachings are so familiar. Always put the father and emperor first, and familiar with the affairs of the capital and the court. Which of us is more suitable for the son of heaven than you? The son of the day does not see who is smart and good at reading, how could he not know about the father and the emperor? Why do you have a foot in it?"

Chen Yuan sneered and said, "It's ridiculous, my second brother and I were fighting to the death, and in the end, I let you take advantage of it, why! Haha, the father is so protective of you, he didn't expect you to be a woman!"

In one sentence, Chen Yuan brought the palace back to the identity of the emperor that Chen Xianchu had not finished talking about earlier.

For a time, the hall became sensitive again.

Chen Yuan deliberately looked at Chen Xiuyuan with a smile in his eyes, "Chen Xiuyuan, are you willing?"

The hall was stunned, this is...

Chen Xiuyuan laughed, "What are you willing to do?"

Chen Yuan said, "Will you be subservient to a woman?"

Chen Xiuyuan slowly restrained his smile, "I am under the emperor."

Chen Yuan said angrily, "Chen Xiuyuan, the blood of the royal family should not be confused!"

Chen Xiuyuan's voice was cold, "Chen Yuan, since you want to know so much, then I will tell you that when the prince was born, I was in the palace. Only you will believe in Chen Xian's tricks, because you are willing to believe it. What do you want to believe? I hugged the prince when he was born, I don't know better than you? I just said, when will you wake up from your Spring and Autumn Dream?"

Chen Yuan also stepped forward, "I don't believe it!"

"Don't give up yet? Then I'll tell you one more thing." Chen Xiuyuan leaned closer and whispered, "Do you know the surname of the emperor's mother?"

Chen Yuan was stunned.

"The last name is Zhu."

Zhu? Suddenly, Chen Yuan froze, and then laughed again as if remembering something.

Chen Xiuyuan continued to whisper, "You said, is it only the Son of Heaven who is the most suitable for this position? Didn't you always say that the blood of the royal family should not be confused? It should be, no one is more pure than the blood of the Son of Heaven."

"The Zhu family..."

As soon as Chen Yuan finished speaking, Chen Xiuyuan interrupted in a low voice, "What about the Zhu family, that is the family matter of the emperor. In the eyes of your grandfather and my grandfather, A Ling is not only the blood of the Chen family, but also the only remaining blood of the Zhao family. A Ling is the most suitable for the throne, do you understand now, Chen Yuan? Now that you understand, is it time to wake up?"

Chen Xiuyuan sighed and said, "If the first prince was still alive, the first emperor would not have thought of making A Ling the heir. If A Ling can sit on this throne today, in the end, it was you who gave it."

There was a joke in Chen Yuan's eyes, and he couldn't stop laughing. He staggered back step by step, "Chen Xiuyuan, you accept your fate, I don't accept my fate! I don't accept my fate!"

"I've said everything, you can do whatever you want." Chen Xiuyuan restrained his voice.

"Chen Ling, it's a big deal today, we are dead and the net is broken!" Chen Yuan has already ignored the others.

Chen Ling looked at him calmly, "Are you saying that the Pan family is the same as the Xue family?"

Chen Yuan was surprised.

The Pan family quickly came out, "The Pan family follows the emperor!"

The Xue family also followed the emperor, "The Xue family follows the emperor!"

"You betrayed me?" Chen Yuan's eyes were scarlet, and then he turned to the emperor, "Chen Ling, you prepared early in the morning and waited for me at the first banquet? Once and for all, there will be no future troubles?"

Chen Ling looked at him, "Chen Yuan, you really hid so deeply, I almost blinded my eyes and couldn't see you."

"Winning the king or losing the bandit, there is nothing to say." Chen Yuan just drew his sword, but was detained by Luo Yi, "Yuan Wang, the death of the first prince, and the case of Hucheng Guanyin still need to be explained by Yuan Wang."

Chen Yuan was pressed and could not struggle.

Then there was the forbidden army who stepped forward and dragged Chen Yuan down until Chen Yuan was dragged down, didn't he say a word after that, he just kept laughing and laughing all the time.

And as Chen moved away from the hall, the white fish maw on the horizon gradually turned into a slight dew in the morning.

Kou Guogong shook his head, got up and knelt down in the hall, "Old minister is ashamed, please punish your majesty."

All the incidents in the temple today started from him.

He listened to the words of King Xian. King Xian had been close to him since childhood. He had watched King Xian grow up...

"Help Kou Guogong get up." Chen Ling instructed, and Qi Shan stepped forward.

"A Nian." Chen Ling called out, and A Nian got up from Chen Ling's arms and went to the side consciously.

It was originally the first palace banquet, and Anian's place was there. A Nian sat in Chen Ling's arms for a long time, and now he is getting better, and he can sit back to his seat by himself and watch Chen Ling quietly.

Chen Ling said warmly, "In this dynasty, the emperor has never been alone. Today, Yanhan relies on the conscientiousness and dedication of all the loving officials. I remember it, the dynasty remembers it, and the people of Yanhan also remember it. For the preface, what my heart desires, I have always followed the past. I, I would like to work together with all the loving ministers to do my best and do everything personally to welcome the peaceful and prosperous times of Yanhan in the future."

In the hall, the officials stood up, bowed towards the Hall of the Son of Heaven, and said in unison, "Long live Your Majesty!"

When the sound in the hall calmed down, Sheng Wenyu handed over to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, now the rebellion is over, and dawn has passed, please take the prince to rest, and the ministers and the Imperial Army will deal with the aftermath."

"Okay." Chen Ling responded, "A Nian."

Ah Nian obediently stepped forward and followed Chen Ling to leave.

In the hall, the officials and their families respectfully sent them off.

After the emperor left the temple, Sheng Wenyu said with Dai Jingjie, "Let someone clean up the temple and count the roster of the forbidden army, and I will arrange the departure from the temple."

"Yes!" Dai Jingjie responded.

From last night to this morning, the first day of the new year banquet finally came to an end, but these messes in the palace and the Imperial Army still need to be cleaned up for at least a month. Thinking of Guan Shubo, Dai Jingjie finally understood why the emperor wanted Ziyiwei to disguise himself as the Imperial Army and follow the prince.

In the past, most of the banned soldiers were children of various noble families who entered Beijing for temporary posts. The origin was complicated, and it was difficult to screen out the back.

Unlike Ziyiwei, he is subordinate to the Son of Heaven.

After this battle, the Imperial Army was purged for a round.

It's a new beginning again.

Sheng Wenyu patted his shoulder.

Dai Jingjie sighed.

***

In Chaoyang Hall, A Nian was already asleep.

After tossing around for a night, I didn't close my eyes very much. By the time I got to Chaoyang Hall, I was so sleepy that I leaned on Chen Xiuyuan's shoulder and fell asleep.

Since just now, Dabu has been holding him to sleep, and Chen Xiuyuan has been holding him, never letting go.

When Anian fell asleep, Chen Xiuyuan told Chen Ling about the scene when he found Anian.

After a while, Qi Shan turned back, "Your Majesty, the dormitory was burnt and completely destroyed. The arrangement is to renovate it. During this time, Your Majesty may stay in Chaoyang Palace."

Chen Ling said calmly, "Alright, spend more time with Anian."

She should be frightened tonight, she might as well spend more time with him in Chaoyang Palace.

"Where's Yunchi?" Chen Ling just heard Xiao Wu talk about Yunchi's injury.

Qishan replied, "The imperial doctor is watching, Yunchi's leg is injured, and he can't work in front of the imperial palace for the last two months of this month."

"Let him take good care of him and come back in no hurry." Chen Ling ordered, and Qi Shan responded.

Mommy Fang and Shanhai also stayed up all night and went to sleep now.

In the room, Chen Ling saw that A Nian was also sound asleep, "Sleep soundly, put it down."

Chen Xiuyuan should be fine.

Chen Xiuyuan hugged Ah Nian, slowly put it back on the bed, and held it carefully, not letting Ah Nian wake up.

A Nian was extremely sleepy, and Chen Xiuyuan was also cautious.

Chen Xiuyuan has always been meticulous in his treatment of Ah Nian.

The two watched A Nian by the bed for a long time before Chen Ling said, "If you come back later today, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it in time."

Chen Xiuyuan said, "You didn't want me at Loudi either. It doesn't matter whether I'm here or not, you can handle it today."

"You're here, you're just making a statement."

Chen Xiuyuan smiled, "Yes."

Chen Ling asked again, "When are you leaving?"

Chen Xiuyuan was surprised, "How do you know?"

Chen Ling looked at him, "There was an accident in the palace, and Chen Bi was not with you. It should be in Xiqin, right?"

It was only when Chen Xiuyuan came to his senses that he didn't hide it, "Yes, over there, there is a little situation..."

"Oh, what's the situation?" Chen Ling asked.

Chen Xiuyuan thought for a while, and wrote lightly, "It's similar to the situation here."

"Oh, that'll keep you busy." Chen Ling smiled.

Chen Xiuyuan also laughed, "Yeah, who makes everyone worry..."

"When are you leaving?" Chen Ling asked again.

"When Ah Nian wakes up, I saw him crying so much this morning. I'm afraid I'll be frightened. When he wakes up, I'll stay with him for a day before leaving." Chen Xiuyuan reached out and brushed his hair for Ah Nian, fearing that he would fall asleep Not solid.

Chen Ling also looked at A Nian.

Chen Xiuyuan said softly, "Fang Sifu, when did you belong to you?"

Shen Ci didn't say anything, Sheng Wenyu, Fang Siping, Qu Bianying, Luo Yi were all Chen Ling's confidants, but Fang Sifu didn't expect him.

Chen Ling said quietly, "I don't understand what you said."

Chen Xiuyuan broke through, "Without Fang Sifu, who can convince the Pan Xue family to defect, Chen Yuan never figured it out in the end, you are so confident because you knew early on that in this court, you can persuade Pan Xue with just one mouth. Only Fang Sifu."

Only then did Chen Ling smile.

Chen Xiuyuan took her acquiescence and continued, "People like Fang Sifu are used to being a scumbag in the court. I didn't expect it, and probably Chen Yuan would never expect that Fang Sifu fell to you, so the Pan Xue family is the only one. Turned away."

Chen Ling only said, "People make the best use of them, and no one is perfect."

"Chen Bi's letter to King Jingping." Just as Qishan entered, Chen Xiuyuan got up, took the letter from Qishan and read it.

Chen Ling remembered when he just came back from Licheng earlier.

"Fang Sifu has met His Majesty."

"Fang Sifu, you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in the court~"

Fang Sifu was stunned, "What Your Majesty said, Wei Chen couldn't understand, and Wei Chen just messed around in the court and ate, pretending to be a pig, eating a tiger, hehe..."

"You won't understand, Fang Sifu." She looked down at the booklet.

Fang Sifu wanted to cry but had no tears on his face, and his emotions came, "Your Majesty, it's okay for you to ask Wei Chen to come up with bad ideas, but otherwise, Wei Chen really doesn't understand, woo woo..."

In an instant, woo woo started to cry.

She almost stepped forward and hugged her leg and cried.

Chen Ling glanced at him and continued in a low voice, "Fang Sifu, you know too many secrets, I will give you a choice, whether to be the emperor's close minister, or..."

Fang Sifu looked up and saw that she reached out and touched her neck.

Fang Sifu cried out with a wow, "Your Majesty, our ministers are ignorant and ignorant. They can't compare to my younger brother in the court. They are just relying on the blessings of their ancestors to live their lives. I beg your majesty to be gracious. Don't embarrass our ministers. It’s okay not to mix, Wei Chen’s younger brother is only eight buckets tall, learns to be rich in five cars, and has the talent of the world, which is a high expectation in the family…”

Chen Ling's head started to hurt again, and interrupted, "Yes."

Fang Sifu sighed in his heart and passed the border.

Chen Ling suddenly looked at him, looked at each other, and Chen Ling smiled, "Anyway, you are just messing around, so let's go outside, Licheng and Lin Bei, you choose one, it won't take long, you will return to Beijing in ten years and eight years. Just..."

Chen Ling restrained her smile, "If you dare to come back privately, I will screw your head."

Fang Sifu suddenly stopped crying, knelt up straight, and said solemnly, "Report to Your Majesty, Wei Chen feels that Wei Chen still has room to play in Beijing, and Wei Chen is willing to assist the emperor."

Looking at his serious face, Chen Ling sighed, "Fang Sifu, you are unfathomable."

It was a joke, but Fang Sifu answered seriously, "Your Majesty wants to use ministers, and ministers will be unfathomable; if your Majesty does not need ministers, ministers will eat, drink, and have fun."

Chen Ling looked at him, "Why did you pretend earlier?"

Fang Sifu said respectfully, "Wei Chen's eldest son was a little early, and he entered the official position first. Originally, the Fang family's family motto, with me in the court, Zichu would not be able to enter the court. It is not a good thing to have two talents. Chu was accompanied by His Majesty when he was studying in the East Palace, and he will always enter the court in the future. Zichu has good aptitude and a talent for the world, and his future prospects are boundless. It is an idle job, if you want to get out, in a place like the Ministry of Rites, you can make a big or small accident at will, it is harmless, but you can get out in time."

"Oh, interesting." Chen Ling nodded, "Then I will give you another choice, you will continue to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, I will not expose you, and Zichu will continue to be the editor of his Hanlin Academy, but you must be used by me, Do things for me."

"Your Majesty, why?" Fang Sifu looked at her.

She said softly, "I think that you can not lose Zichu, someone who can be listed so clearly in the roster of the East Palace Companion, he is thoughtful, familiar with the political affairs of the DPRK and China, and is proficient in all aspects of the world, and most importantly, I It was Donggong earlier. This person knows very well what kind of people he wants around Donggong, and how to find them. This person must be full of poetry and books, read a lot of books, and have a flexible mind. I think this person has an unlimited future, but he just likes to pretend Pigs eat tigers, Fang Qing, don't you think so?"

Fang Sifu kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is willing to assist the emperor and do the work of dogs and horses."

"Why?" Chen Ling asked.

"As a confidant, without him."

...

In front of him, Ah Nian turned over and kicked off the quilt covering him.

Chen Ling retracted his thoughts and stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for him. When Chen Ling tucked the quilt for him, he turned around and turned back, and Chen Ling covered him with the quilt again.

A Nian fell asleep this time and didn't move.

The appearance of being asleep is exactly the same as Shen Ci.

Chen Ling's eyes fell on A Nian. She has handled both Chen Xian and Chen Yuan here. I hope everything goes well with Shen Ci, and there is a tough fight.

***

In the camp, Shen Ci circled his arms in front of the sand table map, carefully looking at the route map of the attack and retreat of the two sides in these battles with Wusutai, his brows furrowed, and he did not speak.

On the side, Shen Ying continued, "Tai Wu Su colluded with Chen Xian this time, he will definitely not stop easily, he will use his strength to go all the way south, and he will not give up easily. Tan Jin was here earlier, and he will handle it Barr is a few tribes close to Yanhan. Right now, the whole Barr is close to unity, and Wu Sutai has many people and soldiers that can be used, which are many times more than before, I am afraid this battle will not be easy to fight."

Yu Ya sighed, "The food and grass are here, but the garrisoned troops from all over the country may not be able to come so quickly. Even if they come, it will be a fierce battle. Barr is desperate this time, putting his chips on Yan Han. This battle will not end so easily, The more he fights, the more Yan Han has no chance of winning."

Shen Ying nodded, "General Yu said that Wu Sutai is the main battle faction in the Baal country, and there is also the peace faction in the Baal country. Now it is Wusutai who persuaded the Baal country, so the main battle faction has the upper hand. At present, Wu Sutai is bringing the leading troops of Baal, and then, there will be a steady stream of Baal cavalry. Yan Han is not like Cang Yue, and if he wants to block the main force of Baal's cavalry, I am afraid that he will have to pay a huge price. Unless, during the war From the very beginning, let Barr lose steadily on the battlefield, let the main war faction gradually lose its right to speak in the country, and be attacked by the main peace faction, and this battle will end with minimal losses."

Yu Ya shook his head, with a heavy tone in his tone, "Tai Wusu is Barr's big cloud. It's not easy to make Barr lose every day..."

Shen Ci suddenly said, "Unless he burns his food and grass, then cuts off his supply line, it is a two-pronged approach, and Lin Bei garrisoned the whole line and attacked Wu Sutai. He is a big cloud, and he is also the main battle faction. If he fails miserably, Or simply kill him, and Baal's battle will be completely stopped."

Yu Ya, Shen Ying, Zhou Shijun, Han Guan, and Guo Zixiao were all stunned, yes!

Right now there is only one way.

"But Wu Su is too accustomed to only fight safe battles, with food and grass first. He won't let people touch his food and grass easily. Who can burn his food and grass?" Zhou Shijun sighed heavily. Tai's fights have both winners and losers, but if Wusu Tai loses, it's a small loss, and if it's a victory, it's a big victory.

Such opponents are terrible.

Because it is safe, there are almost no flaws, so how can they let them burn food and grass.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Unless he has enough chips, he will take the bait."

"What chips?" Han Guan asked.

Shen Ci put the flag representing the coach on the sand table, "He wants my life, and for him, I have enough chips."

"General?!" Several people in the camp were shocked.
