The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

The two leading the army are General Fuguo Xie Hong and Minister of War Kou Xiao.

Xie Hong didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his behavior at all.He raised his head to look at Emperor Yong, and even performed a standard courtier's salute, "Long time no see, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yong was guarded by several servants behind him, and he stared coldly at these once most trusted power ministers, "Is this move by Mr. Xie to plot rebellion?"

"rebellion?"

Xie Hong laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty's hat is held too high. It's just that the minister, who was once the emperor's teacher, saw that His Majesty went astray and wanted to help His Majesty."

Proclaiming the emperor and treason is the most reckless act, and not all families are suitable for that position.In the chaotic times of the previous dynasty, the Jiedu envoys acted on their own, and proclaimed themselves emperors in the fiefdoms one after another.Why were they overthrown and massacred, while the aristocratic family survived?
"I don't want to hurt Your Majesty."

Blinking his cloudy eyes, Xie Hong's eyes slowly swept over these strange officials, "As long as His Majesty re-drafts an imperial decree according to the original arrangement and revokes the edict of self-recommendation and selection of officials, I can pretend that nothing happened."

"If Your Majesty can't write it, the bachelors of the Imperial Academy can do it for you."

Dozens of officials were gathered together, surrounded by soldiers with three layers inside and three layers outside, and a row of archers lay on the eaves.Earlier, they fired arrows and killed more than ten people.

As the champion of the new division, Zhou Rong was undoubtedly the first one to be targeted.He was lucky, hiding behind a pillar earlier, dodging a few arrows.Otherwise, he would now be a bloody corpse on the ground.

Knowing that this reform would not be so smooth, Zhou Rong clenched his fists and held the sachet that A Yuan gave him in his palm.

He hasn't asked His Majesty to marry him yet, so he can't die here!
Even a few servants were terrified, but Emperor Yong quickly regained his composure, looking down at the people under the steps.

Although Zheng Lian and Lu Ye did not speak, they were not surprised to see them. I am afraid that they were also involved in this matter.

He guessed right, because the next moment, Zheng Lian also spoke.

"Prince," he called the prince's name, "Why don't you persuade His Majesty."

As early as when the first arrow was released, the prince was protected by guards.But this is Qionglin Garden, not the imperial palace, and the guards they brought are limited, so they are no match for this group of people at all.

They didn't even know how many people Xie Hong and Kou Xiao brought, but it was clear at a glance who had the upper hand.

The prince lowered his eyes: "...Father."

He didn't understand what Emperor Yong was doing.

In his opinion, Dayong is in harmony with everyone, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe.What's the difference between big or small family power?Why did Emperor Yong regard the aristocratic family as a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh?

This is the true thought in his heart.But he knew that once he said it, he would completely tear himself apart with Emperor Yong, so he hesitated again when the words came to his lips.

Then I heard Xie Hong say: "Wulang."

"Twenty years ago, it was the old man who led the army to help you ascend the throne. In other words, everything you have came from the family," he looked at Emperor Yong coldly, even abandoning the title "Your Majesty" and referring to the two "The family can help you ascend the throne, or you can take back this power."

"Grandfather! Don't say any more!"

Xie Yanzhou's eyes turned red anxiously.Thinking of the ending of the aristocratic family in the dream, Xie Yanzhou felt desolate in his heart.

He doesn't know at all... He doesn't know what Emperor Yong will do two years later... The soldiers in the hands of the aristocratic family only accounted for the superiority in numbers, far inferior to the soldiers newly recruited by Emperor Yong in the later period. After Emperor Yong took back the jade seal, he directly ordered people The "Clan Records" was rebuilt, and the privileges of all family names since the Southern and Northern Dynasties were abolished. According to the current ranking of official ranks, the family was almost slaughtered.

"Unworthy descendants, shut up."

Xie Hong didn't look at Xie Yanzhou.He had already ordered people to strictly guard Xie Yanzhou's residence, who knew that this kid's martial arts gradually improved, he knocked out the guarding soldiers, and escaped to join Qionglin Court by himself.

Right now Xie Yanzhou is not an important matter, he will take care of him later.

Emperor Yong quietly looked at the unfamiliar and familiar people in the audience, with no sadness or joy on his face, as if he had been silent for a long time.

The huge Wenxi Hall was as quiet as if there was only the sound of the wind, and the bloodstains of the corpses on the ground were not completely dry, and all of them stared wide-eyed, dying with regret.

A long sigh came from above.

Emperor Yong's voice was hoarse as if he had aged ten years: "I can write the imperial decree."

Pointing to the surviving officials, he said, "But I have one request, to let them go back. They didn't do anything harmful, so there's no need to die because of it."

Have you compromised?

All the hard work I did before was in vain?

The nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and Zhou Rong's palm was covered with blood and flesh.He suddenly understood why Li Langjun stayed in the Yong Dynasty Palace...

Xie Hong nodded noncommittally, and glanced at Zheng Lian.

Zheng Lian took out the imperial decree that had been prepared at the right time, walked up to Emperor Yong in person, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please."

A few days ago, they broke up unhappy in the palace examination, but Zheng Lian could remember clearly that now Emperor Yong and the little princess are their prisoners, and he finally felt happy in his heart.

I don't know if the little princess was so frightened that she cried because she was trapped in the mansion.A young lady whose hair hasn't even grown up yet wants to imitate others and flirt with him, it's too ignorant.

A blank imperial decree was spread out in front of him, and Emperor Yong dipped his pen into the ink and slowly wrote a word on the imperial decree.

Xie Hong, Zheng Lian, and Lu Ye stood guard beside Emperor Yong, and the soldiers surrounded Qionglin Garden tightly.

"Report-"

Just as Emperor Yong was thinking and writing the imperial decree, a soldier came striding forward.He knelt in front of Kou Xiao, "General Xie, General Kou, an army is approaching the imperial city. According to reports from scouts, they are holding the yellow dragon flag!"

What kind of army dares to raise the yellow flag, but the dragon pattern is still embroidered on the flag?

A trace of doubt flashed across Kou Xiao's eyes.Thinking of a possibility, his face suddenly sank: "Not good! Close the gate of the imperial city, and never let them enter the city! Send another group of people over, and make sure to guard Wenxitang!"

It is the second prince guarding the northwest, and his Yellow Dragon Army!

Didn't the Second Prince return to Beijing in two years? Why did he appear here now?Could it be that Emperor Yong was prepared... However, Emperor Yong's life is still in their hands, as long as Emperor Yong is held hostage, even the second prince would not dare to act rashly.

Kou Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the young man's deep voice came from far to near, like the ravings of an evil ghost: "shoot the arrow."

shoot arrows?What kind of arrows to shoot, aren't their archers lying on the eaves and waiting for orders?
As soon as this thought flashed through Kou Xiao's mind, arrows rained down on him, and the soldiers kneeling on the ground were killed on the spot.An arrow pierced Kou Xiao's shoulder, Kou Xiao snorted, grabbed the arrow with one hand, and blood flowed down his fingers.

Outside Wenxi Hall, a young man came on horseback.The girl in his arms held the reins tightly, and he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist with one hand, and slowly lowered the longbow.
