The imperial envoy came into the lobby. To Wang Xian's surprise, the person who came was not an eunuch, but Yang Pu, a great scholar.
Wang Xian and Yang Pu had always had a harmonious relationship, and the latter was his supporter in the cabinet. The emperor sent this person here, which really gave Wang Xian some headaches.
"Why are you here, Master Yang?" Wang Xian didn't care too much and stepped down from his commanding position to greet him.
"Hey, sir, can you do it if I don't come?" Yang Pu was originally full of anxiety, but when he saw Wang Xian treating him politely, he returned the favor with a wry smile: "I'm still a step too late, some bastards have already asked for their own death.
.”
After Wang Xian beheaded Qian Yu and Zheng Heng, he hung their heads on the city gate so that Yang Pu could naturally see them when he entered the city.
"What should I say?" Wang Xian's smile faded slightly and he looked at Yang Pu quietly. The generals also stared at Yang Pu closely. The atmosphere in the lobby, which had just relaxed a little, became tense again.
"I have a general understanding of what happened," Yang Pu said calmly: "Those two killers actually dared to assassinate the young master. They really deserve to be killed." After a pause, he sighed: "It's just that the young master was a little impulsive.
, to take them down is, after all, a marquis and a minister, the emperor's sword cannot kill more than the fourth rank..." Wang Xian, the general, can control all officials, but only those below the fourth rank can be killed first and then reported.
"Kill him, just kill him," Liu Sheng snorted, interrupting Yang Pu and said, "Where's all the nonsense?"
"Hey, Mr. Marquis, the reason for lowering my rank is because of my uncle. Originally, it was my uncle who was in charge of this matter. Once he killed the person, the matter would not be easy to explain clearly." Yang Pu said with a bitter smile.
"When did the imperial court reason with us?" Liu Sheng said coldly: "Old Yang, our father-in-law doesn't treat you as an outsider, so don't be so pretentious! What do you think happened to Duoyan Sanwei?
!”
"I really don't know this..." Yang Pu complained in his heart, how can I be honest with you? I was sent here to play tricks! "The emperor has ordered a strict investigation. If anyone is found to be a liar,
Foreign countries frame the army, no matter who they are, no matter how high their status is, they will be killed without mercy!"
"No need to investigate." Liu Sheng waved his hand and said: "We have caught both Cha Kehan and Darhan, and they have confessed to colluding with Yang Shiqi!ē
"Master Hou, don't listen to the Tatars' instigation..." Yang Pu said bravely.
"They handed over the imperial mail from the cabinet! You are also a bachelor. You can tell whether it is true or false at a glance!" Liu Sheng roared angrily: "If you dare to say anything against your will again, get out of the King's City immediately!"
The generals also stared at Yang Pu angrily. Yang Pu scolded Yang Shiqi for eight generations in his heart. You bastard caused a huge trouble, but you asked me to wipe your ass!
Yang Pu had no choice but to look at Wang Xian for help. Wang Xian sighed and said, "Don't embarrass Master Yang. As an imperial envoy, he has his own difficulties."
"Thank you for your understanding..." Yang Pu gratefully bowed deeply, and could no longer pretend to be vain with Wang Xian. He straightened up and said with a wry smile: "Seriously, your Majesty ordered me to come here. I must advise you not to be impulsive and stay here for the time being.
The emperor will give him a satisfactory explanation for the affairs of Duoyanwei in Dawangcheng, the arrest of the uncle's relatives and friends in Dongchang, and the assassination of the uncle by Qian Yu and Zheng Heng."
"The emperor has restored the honor and all the titles of the prince, and released all the people who were arrested." Seeing that Wang Xian did not speak, Yang Pu gritted his teeth and continued: "The emperor asked me to bring a message to the prince. He said to Duoyan Sanwei
He was completely unaware of what was going on. After learning that the army's food supply route was cut off and that his father-in-law was in serious danger, he became seriously ill and had no choice but to let the prince supervise the country. He never expected that the prince and Yang Shiqi would be so audacious. After the emperor noticed it,
I have managed to support my illness and start looking at politics again. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Your Majesty’s feelings for Your Majesty have never changed, and you will definitely not let Your Majesty be wronged!"
After what Yang Pu said, if it were Wang Xian yesterday, he would probably still believe it. But after last night, he no longer had any illusions. After Yang Pu finished speaking, Wang Xian said with a half-smile but not a smile:
"So, everything is caused by the prince and Yang Shiqi?"
"The Emperor has not yet verified the matter of Duoyan and the Three Guards. If you have conclusive evidence, I believe that the Emperor will never show mercy." Yang Pu patted his chest and assured: "Even the crown prince and the chief minister of the cabinet, as long as they are involved in this matter
, I will definitely punish you severely!”
"Haha..." Wang Xian laughed when he heard this, his smile was a little scary.
Liu Sheng and Wu Wei looked at each other, and they both saw happiness in each other's eyes. The emperor really knew his father-in-law deeply. If Yang Pu had come one day earlier and held Qian Yu and Zheng Heng down, preventing them from acting rashly, if there was no Bao
As soon as the sound came out at yesterday's banquet, I'm afraid my father-in-law will really be caught by his ecstasy soup at this moment.
"Having a good wife is so important." Liu Sheng muttered softly.
Yang Pu didn't hear clearly and glanced blankly at Liu Sheng. Wang Xian glared at Liu Sheng with a dumbfounded look, then smiled at Yang Pu and said: "Of course I believe in the emperor. It's just that the soldiers spent their remaining lives in battles and thought about their return day and night.
Why bother lingering on this grassland? It would be better to let me take them back to Beijing, reunite them with their families, and then slowly wait for the news."
"My lord is indeed back!" Wu Wei secretly gave a thumbs up. This sharp talk is really missed.
"This..." Yang Pu was at a loss for words. He said that he had only one mission, which was to prevent Wang Xian from leaving the Hetao. After all, in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, the Hetao was not a place for kings. Xuanfu and
Datong is the real gate of the Ming Dynasty. As long as Wang Xian does not leave the Hetao, the safety of the gate will not be threatened for the time being. Only then will the monarchs and ministers in the court have time to mobilize heavy troops and form an absolute advantage over Wang Xian.
After all, the Hetao has just been developed for a few years. Once trade with the mainland is cut off, it will be impossible to be self-sufficient, let alone support Wang Xian's tens of thousands of troops. When the time comes, the imperial court will have heavy troops in place. All it takes is to block Wang Xian from the country.
In just one winter, his army could starve to death...
This is the wishful thinking of the monarchs and ministers in Beijing. They have determined Wang Xianzhong's emotional destiny. The probability of success is actually not small...
Faced with Wang Xian's cross-examination, Yang Pu was speechless. It took him a while to squeeze out a few words through his teeth: "The emperor's will is for the prince to station himself in the Great King's City to avoid unnecessary disturbance. Mr.
How about I report my thoughts to the Emperor immediately and see how the Emperor responds?"
"That's very good." Wang Xian smiled and nodded, seeming to be relieved all of a sudden, and said to the people around him: "I will wait for Master Yang to bathe and change clothes, and then I will hold a banquet for Master Yang to wash away the dust."
Seeing that Wang Xian finally relented, Yang Pu felt relieved. After thanking Wang Xian, he went down with the guards.
As soon as Yang Pu left, Liu Sheng said anxiously: "My lord, this is a delaying strategy. If he goes back and forth for at least ten days and a half, the situation may be very unfavorable to us!" The generals also nodded, and the soldiers were so fast.
Everyone knows the truth, especially since they only have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Once the imperial army is in place, the situation will be very passive.
"Don't worry, I'm just perfunctory with him." Wang Xian smiled, waved his hand, looked serious, and ordered: "Generals, listen to the order, have dinner at the second watch tonight, and march eastward at the third watch!"
"I have the order!" The generals' expressions perked up and they responded with a bang...
At noon, Wang Xian hosted a banquet in honor of Yang Pu at the eldest princess's palace. During the dinner, the two of them put aside the turmoil of the court and only talked about their farewells. The meal was a feast for both the guest and the host. Not long after, Dai Hua hurried in.
, said a few words in Wang Xian's ear. Wang Xian couldn't hide his excitement when he heard the words, and immediately stood up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Master Yang, the little girl is back, and I have to go to greet her!"
"That's right. I love you so much, so I won't bother you." Yang Pu got drunk and stood up with a smile. "I'm going to catch up on my sleep first. Please do what you want."
"Thank you very much." Wang Xian said, leaving Yang Pu behind, Pegasus left the mansion and headed straight out of the city.
Not long after leaving the city, I saw a group of people escorting several women, flying from a distance. The woman at the head was Sana, Baoyin's personal maid, and Sana immediately sat down with this little girl with pigtails.
, looking at Wang Xian with a smile on his face.
Wang Xian jumped off his horse, strode forward to greet him, and shouted excitedly: "Heng'er!"
"Daddy!" the little girl yelled and jumped off the horse.
Wang Xian hurriedly jumped forward, caught his daughter with both hands, held her tightly in his arms, and kissed her again and again on the face, which made her giggle. His mood at this moment was about to fly to the sky.
, I thought that Ah Heng, who had not seen each other since she was two years old, would treat her as a stranger like her younger brother. Unexpectedly, this little girl didn’t recognize her as a stranger at all, and affectionately called herself daddy. Let Wang Xianna
This old lady was very pleased, and she couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, my daughter is daddy's little cotton-padded jacket! Much better than a brat!"
After getting on the horse, he still held Ah Heng in his arms. He would either hold her up high and take a closer look at this extremely beautiful elf, or let her ride on his neck and sing songs happily to her. In short, he would kiss her.
They kissed her again and again, hugged her again, and couldn't put it down, as if she wanted to make up for all the longing after not seeing each other for several years.
The father and daughter had been close for a long time, and Wang Xian couldn't help but ask the daughter in his arms: "My dear daughter, we haven't seen each other for so many years, do you still remember what your father looks like?"
"Remember, you are my father!" Ah Heng said matter-of-factly: "No one will forget you if you forget me."
"Hey, you are really my dear daughter!" Wang Xian almost burst into tears with excitement, so naturally he kissed her again and again.
"Hey, I haven't seen you for so many years. Do you blame dad?" Wang Xian couldn't help but ask.
"That's a bit," Ah Heng raised his head like a little adult and looked at Wang Xiandao: "If you don't come again, I really won't remember what you look like."
Wang Xian's tears reached an unprecedented low, and his daughter's eyes turned red again when she said this.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry." Ah Heng stretched out her white and tender hands, wiped the corners of Wang Xian's eyes and said, "I won't blame you when I see you."
"Well..." Wang Xian hugged his daughter tightly, turned away, and took several deep breaths to prevent tears from coming out.
This is the person who really needs his protection. Let those hypocrites go to hell! He is willing to give everything for the little person in his arms!
But if this can't bring about the little man's future happiness and security, then let me be the enemy of the world! Even if I bear a lot of infamy, I will never let my family be threatened in the slightest!
