There was silence in the study, and Emperor Xuan Yan stopped talking.
An Yuping stood aside and was neither humble nor arrogant throughout the process.
After a long time, Emperor Xuan Yan gently placed the jade Ruyi in his hand next to the inkstone, making a very soft crisp sound.
"Deploy the Xuanwu Army outside the city to enter the city," Emperor Xuanyan said. "Not only Dongping Academy, but all academies in Kyoto, no matter how big or small, cannot survive."
Sun Yike was slightly startled, lowered his head and said, "Yes."
"The palace guards, imperial guards, Jinwu guards, Song Du must still be in the palace, and we have to dig three feet into the ground to find him. Everyone in the Song and Huang mansions, as well as everyone involved with the Song and Huang mansions, must be here."
They will all be found and no one will be left behind.”
"Yes." Sun Yike accepted the order.
"You go down."
"I excuse myself," Sun Yike said.
Emperor Xuan Yan looked at An Yuping and said calmly: "An Qing."
An Yuping lowered his head: "Your Majesty."
"What do you think?"
An Yuping was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Emperor Xuan Yan: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
"Song Qingtang," Emperor Xuanyan said, "you are of the same age, and your fathers are all officials in the court. Do you usually have contact with each other?"
An Yuping frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "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..."
Emperor Xuan Yan's lips curled up: "What about Shen Lie? Do you know him?"
"Who is Shen Lie?" An Yuping asked.
Emperor Xuan Yan looked at him and found that his expression was not strange, and it was indeed not a pretense of confusion.
Emperor Xuan Yan withdrew his gaze, looked at the Huanglong Jade Bo Yi Qing Ping Shi Fang pen holder under the pen holder, and said: "Guo Shu's grandson, the legitimate son of the Shen family, Shen Lie."
"It turns out he is the grandson of Senior Guo." An Yuping said.
"You don't know Song Qingtang. Do you think Song Qingtang's actions are right or wrong?" Emperor Xuanyan asked again.
An Yuping felt even more funny.
From the moment Emperor Xuanyan recruited him into the palace, An Yuping knew that what his eldest brother An Yuchi told his father had indeed come true.
My father said that the number of refugees outside the city would increase tenfold.
My father said that according to the emperor's temperament, he would abandon the city.
My father said, it won’t be long before we start work.
The emperor asked him if he knew who Shen Lie was, and he said he didn't know. How could he actually know who he was?
No matter how famous he is, he is still Guo Shu's grandson.
Moreover, even before the people in the palace went to An Mansion to summon him to the palace, the eldest brother had expected that he would be summoned.
Not just him, but all young noblemen in the capital will be introduced to the palace.
When he entered the palace, he met Meng Xiaochuan, the eldest son of Xuanping Marquis, and Shi Tianyang Junbolang, the only son of Dingyuan Marquis, who almost became their son-in-law.
As for the Guo family, although no one in the Guo family except Guo Zhaohai, the governor of Jiangzhou, had become an official, the Guo family's reputation and status, and Shen Lie was in the capital, could not be ignored by Emperor Xuanyan.
Even compared to the great nobles such as Xuanping Marquis and Dingyuan Marquis, those families that had been rooted for hundreds of years were the ones Emperor Xuanyan was most eager to take action on and valued.
Shen Lie had no choice. It was impossible for him not to enter the palace, because Emperor Xuan Yan would never let him go.
But to put it bluntly, not many people in the entire capital know that the An Mansion has been emptied out during the first few heavy snowfalls this winter. Now that he has entered the Taifu Mansion, only An Yuzhi and a few people are left.
The close entourage and bodyguards are maintaining the illusion of prosperity there.
Emperor Xuan Yan's wishful thinking of using An Yuping to blackmail the Men Zhi'an clan turned out to be a big mistake.
Like now, wouldn't he know why Emperor Xuan Yan called him to the study alone to talk about folk customs and write paintings and poems?
Including, Emperor Xuan Yan specially left him to listen to their conversation.
Is this solicitation, hint, wanting to recruit him and train him?
It's a pity that I, An Yuping, look down upon the power of your Li family.
An Yuping raised his hand, bowed respectfully, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am actually confused about Song Qingtang."
"Confused?" Emperor Xuan Yan said.
"Yes," An Yuping said, "Your Majesty said first that this was a premeditated conspiracy."
Emperor Xuan Yan's gray eyebrows raised slightly, and his eyes turned cold as he looked at him.
"Your Majesty," An Yuping raised his head and met Emperor Xuan Yan's gaze, "No one except Your Majesty could know about the Qingshan Academy in advance, and no one in Dongping Academy could have guessed that such a thing was going to happen.
Jie. Your Majesty said that Song Shangshu and Huang Shilang were very courageous, but in my opinion, if they could have premeditated rebellion, how could they dare to enter the palace again? As far as I know, Mr. Lu, the Minister of Punishment, did not enter the palace for some reason."
"So, could it be like this," An Yuping continued, "It is very possible that Song Qingtang just led his troops to pass by, patrolling Kyoto on a daily basis, and happened to encounter the Xuanwu Army, and the two sides clashed. And Yanyun Weifu
General Du Yidelang thought that someone was provoking a provocation, so he led his troops to support Song Qingtang, and the trouble became worse and worse. So Your Majesty, I think this matter may have nothing to do with rebellion and rebellion."
After a long time, Emperor Xuan Yan smiled and said: "Are you saying that I am stupid, can't analyze, and am not as good as you?"
An Yuping's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, I just truthfully stated the confusion in my heart."
"Then how to explain the disappearance of Song Du and Huang Mi? How to explain the escape of the Song and Huang mansions? Song Qingtang did not rebel? Haha," Emperor Xuanyan smiled, his eyebrows suddenly became ferocious, and he said ferociously,
"Even if Song Qingtang really didn't rebel, based on what he did today, I already want to cut him into pieces and fry him alive in a frying pan!"
An Yuping was frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He thought he could hold his own straight and disdain the emperor's favor, but when he saw the furious Emperor Xuan Yan, he was still afraid after all.
"You are so stupid," Emperor Xuan Yan looked at him, "Taifu An always dotes on you too much. If only you were one-tenth as smart as your father, you can't calm down and overestimate your abilities."
An Yuping lowered his head and blinked in fear, not knowing what to say.
"Get out of here," Emperor Xuan Yan looked impatient, "I don't want to see you anymore."
An Yuping quietly took a deep breath and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
An Yuping turned around and left, but Emperor Xuan Yan stopped him again and asked him to take away the painting of the Lake Pavilion and Water Bridge he had just made. When he spoke, Emperor Xuan Yan's expression did not conceal his disgust at all.
An Yuping was proud and arrogant. He had never been insulted like this before. He tried hard to hold back his temper, but he could only hold back his temper and obey orders.
After leaving Tiansheng Palace, An Yuping went to Dongming Palace under the leadership of several guards.
The eldest brother repeatedly told him to calm down, but he really couldn't hold it back, but it was fine, because he couldn't stand the emperor's "favor", so it was best not to look for him again.
As he walked, An Yuping's steps gradually slowed down, and he raised his head and looked at the group of soldiers passing by in front of him.
After seeing the face of one of the soldiers clearly, An Yuping was shocked and his eyes widened slightly.
Song Du also saw him, his heartbeat started to beat in panic, he hurriedly looked away, and subconsciously moved closer to Shen Lie beside him.
