Destined to Be Empress - Chapter 263

“How dare he come back?” Si Tu Ming threw the fold he had just got back to the table. Then he looked at the bodyguard kneeling down and said, “who is he with? Did you come back alone? ”

Taking advantage of the chaos, Suzhou and Hangzhou fled from Qiongzhou city and told him all the things over there.

Although on the surface it is because of Yan Jinning, it is also a fact that Yan Jintian abandoned the city with water.

You know, Qiongzhou city has been the most important barrier between Dongling and Nanyue for many years. It’s so easy to hand over to night Qinghua, which makes situ Ming not angry.

What’s more, Yan Jintian, the initiator of the crime, has returned with such dignity?

“Only himself!” The bodyguard.

“What did he say?” For this man, situ Ming still dare not put down his guard easily.

“I didn’t say anything, that is to say, if you have something important to do, you must ask your highness immediately!” The bodyguard.

He is not alone.

Sima minglue thought and nodded: “bring him in to see me!”

“Yes The guard answered, got up and withdrew.

This is not close to the palace gate. After a period of time, he led Yan Jintian in from the outside.

At that time, situ Ming had been sitting quietly after the case, waiting for him.

Yan Jintian steps into the main hall.

He didn’t mind that situ Ming took the shelf like this, and said to himself, “Your Highness, King Rui! I haven’t seen you for a long time

Although the words were polite, there was no respect between the expressions.

Si Tu Ming’s heart was blocked and his face was slightly ugly.

But he was also patient and restrained. His fist was slightly clenched under his sleeve, but his face did not change.

He looked down at Yan Jintian and said coldly, “Yan Jintian, you dare to come back!”

The weight of this sentence already means questioning and investigating.

Situ Ming was always uncertain about the purpose of his return, so he was somewhat hesitant and apprehensive. He was about to make a difficult decision. However, Yan Jintian suddenly lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down in front of him.

The weight of kneeling is also not light.

Si Tu Ming was unexpectedly cold on the spot.

Yan Jintian bowed his hand and said: “because of his carelessness, he lost Qiongzhou city. He was ashamed of his great trust to his majesty and the imperial court, as well as his father’s teaching for many years. One of the purposes of his return to Beijing is to plead for his Majesty’s sins at this time.”

Si Tu Ming was more and more uncertain about his mind, so he was very careful.

His eyes were fixed on Yan Jintian’s face, paying attention to any change of expression on his face.

But the man’s look was so serious and serious that he could not see any clue.

“Excuse me? The general idea? ” As he thought slowly, situ Ming sneered sarcastically: “Yan Jintian, are you not guilty of saying this? Qiongzhou was captured by the South moon, is it really because of your carelessness? As far as I know, it seems that the truth of the matter is not like this, is it

Yan Jintian has no shame on his face and is still magnanimous. He could even chuckle his lips and say, “since your highness knows everything, there is no need for me to explain more. However, your highness, you should know that my sister-in-law has always been the apple of my father’s eye. If anything else, it would be all right. If the emperor of the South moon attacked her and threatened her with her, he could not ignore her father’s will and give up her life and death? I admit that I did not fight with blood or try my best to defend the city, but I had to. His highness King Rui is also a man of temperament. He should be able to understand it! ”

When it comes to people who are in love, situ Ming is really not.

He only felt this harsh, but he didn’t refute anything. He just looked at Yan Jintian coldly with a sneer: “you don’t want to confuse the past with these painless words, and take these two words as the explanation to the king and his father?”

Yan Jintian said: “of course not! Wei Chen has just said that returning to Beijing to plead guilty is only one of them. ”

“Oh?” Situ Ming raised his eyebrows and did not take the initiative to ask.

Yan Jintian obviously didn’t intend to betray the truth: “when I missed Qiongzhou, I admitted that it was the fault of Wei Chen, but since it was a mistake, it is natural to find a way to make up for it. The second thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to make up for my mistakes and make atonement for myself. ”

“Atonement?” After listening to a joke, situ Ming sneered: “can Qiongzhou city be recovered just by your words?”

Yan Jintian said: “for a while, I didn’t have the confidence to boast about Haikou to get it back. But as compensation, I asked his highness King Rui to allow me to lead the troops northward. Wei Chen was willing to take the traitor King Zhao for you with his family and life as a guarantee.”

“For me?” Hearing this, situ Ming sneered like a joke.

Having learned from the past, he could not believe this man in any way.He said, “I don’t think there will be such kindness between you and me.”

Yan Jintian was calm and asked calmly, “what does your highness Rui want?” The expression on situ Ming’s face suddenly turned cold. With a heavy blow, he overturned a large pile of memorials to the ground. He leaned forward slightly, staring at Yan Jintian, gritted his teeth and said, “you haven’t given me a reasonable explanation for the fall of Qiongzhou City, but now you’ve come forward with clever words to fight king Zhao? Yan Jintian, how stupid you are to be our king. If I really let you go, would you take advantage of the forces in your hands to fight against each other? No matter what, how can I guarantee that the lost Qiongzhou city will not happen again? ”

After Qiongzhou city fell into the hands of Nanyue people, it was better that ye Qinghua only cared about pacifying the people and did not immediately take advantage of the opportunity to march northward.

Once Yan Jintian’s old skills were repeated and he was defeated by the king of Zhao, his troops would have been limited at that time. If some of them were damaged this time, it would be impossible to guarantee that King Zhao would not take the opportunity to kill back to the capital.

Yan Jintian said: “Your Highness, just now I have explained to you clearly that the fall of Qiongzhou city is not my wish. It’s really the night emperor’s cunning. If it wasn’t for his attack on Ning’er, I wouldn’t have let the city passively.” “Let?” Situ Ming sneered: “thank you have the face to say this word! A Qiongzhou City, a gateway on one side of the border, was let out by your understatement? Yan Jintian, you are not a new man in the army. As the commander-in-chief of the first army, you are so indistinguishable. How can Wang believe you

However, Yan Jintian laughed: “Your Highness, in fact, my intention is not to be so suspicious. If I really have the heart of treason, I can offer the city to the night emperor on that day, shake hands with him and make peace with him. Why do you have to go all the way to find it back?”

Su and hang had explained the whole story of that day’s incident, so situ Ming also knew that Yan Jintian had a chance to offer his city to the enemy at that time.

But he didn’t.

The doubts in situ Ming’s heart disappeared a little.

He is staring at Yan Jintian below, still looks bad.

Two people, facing each other.

After a long time, Yan Jintian finally compromised and sighed: “excuse me, your highness, is the Emperor awake now?”

And then he asked, “in vain?”

Yan Jintian was helpless and said, “Your Majesty knows the most clearly whether the Yan family will rebel or not. Since your highness still can’t believe me, you might as well ask our emperor to make an idea and then choose whether to use me again or kill me!”

He said this with a firm word, as if full of confidence.

Si Tu Ming was suspicious.

In fact, the emperor did not wake up these days. However, in order to appease the courtiers, he claimed that the emperor had awakened because he was weak and could not go to the court for the time being.

It is impossible for him to ask the emperor.

As Sima minglue thought about it, he had a flash of light in his mind –

the emperor couldn’t open his mouth, but he also had a Duke Liu who had been with him for decades, and he should have known all the emperor’s thoughts and secrets.

“Are you sure that your father will believe you?” Sima Ming said, quietly.

Yan Jintian laughed: “I’m here now. It’s up to your highness to believe me or kill me. Why don’t you believe me again and listen to your Majesty’s opinion. You won’t lose anything.”

Seeing that he was deliberately implying something, situ Ming hesitated for a moment, or he got up and went out.

He didn’t go to the back palace to see the emperor, but went into the side hall beside him, and at the same time, he sent for Mr. Liu.

Recently, Duke Liu has been left in the care of the emperor. Yan Jintian did not deal with him. However, he did not have more trust. Therefore, although he has nothing to do with himself for the time being, he is not at ease in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that Yan Jintian wanted to see him, and he was worried.

“I have seen his highness King Rui!” When he entered the door, he knelt down and saluted.

Situ Ming turned around and looked down at him without calling.

“How is the father’s health?” He asked.

Liu Gonggong couldn’t figure out his mind. He fell on the ground and opened his mouth carefully: “still It’s the same as before

“Oh! Then you can continue to take good care of yourself. ” Situ Ming casually explained that when Duke Liu was confused, he suddenly said, “Yan Jintian is back!”

“Ah?” Mr. Liu was very surprised and didn’t understand what he meant for a long time.

He looked up at situ Ming in a daze. Si Tu Ming didn’t have the patience to go around with him and stare into his eyes. He put pressure on him and said, “Qiongzhou city was lost to him. It was a crime of beheading, but now he shows up and asks for an order from the king to lead troops to fight against King Zhao! This man’s behavior is a bit strange and unpredictable. I don’t know whether to believe him or not. But now my father is in a daze and can’t take this idea. Duke Liu, you have served your father for many years, and you know his mind best. Therefore, I want to ask you if my father is awake at this time,Will you choose to believe him? ”

Liu Gonggong was nervous to remember every word he said, and reflected that it took a while for you to understand his meaning.

He secretly looked up at situ Ming, but he hesitated and did not dare to say: “this This Servant… ”

“I didn’t want to listen to your duplicity when I asked you to come.” Sima Ming said, his tone suddenly became stern. Duke Liu trembled and finally said: “Your Highness, general Wuwei, the slaves know little about him, but Yan Taifu’s old slaves still know a little about him. Yan’s family has been guarding the border for the emperor all the time It’s not as bad as that, is it? However, general Wuwei said that he wanted to make up for his mistakes It should be from the bottom of my heart! ”

He said this with great care and thought intermittently for fear that he might make a mistake.

However, after listening to him, situ Ming had already known clearly —

sure enough, there was something hidden in it.

He was not worried. He just looked at Liu Gong for a moment and said, “it’s hard to know. How can you expect Yan’s family to be loyal to my Dongling royal family?”

“This…” Duke Liu is still hesitant, but he has been with the emperor for so many years, nothing else. But at least he is very good at guessing Shangyi. His highness King Rui is inducing confession. How can he not understand?

Some secrets, if the world is stable, he will insist on keeping his mouth shut for the emperor and carry them to the coffin. But now the situation is that the emperor is in a bad situation, and all the imperial palaces are under the control of situ Ming, and he does not dare to take chances.

Therefore, strictly speaking, he did not even hesitate for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth and said, “has the emperor ever mentioned to his Highness the origin of Yan Taifu and Yan’s family before?”

Situ Ming frowned: “what? As far as I know, Yan Lang got his father’s recognition because he offered advice to his father and worked with King Zhao on his expedition to Xijin to set up great achievements in the war. Then he ordered his horse to be a marquis. Is there any difference between them? ”

That old incident destroyed Xijin and the foundation of Nanyue tribe for many years, which directly led to the change of the world pattern. It can not be said that it is not tragic. Even now, Duke Liu is still in a cold sweat.

When he opened his mouth, there was some difficulty: “then your highness knows only one of them.”

“Say it!” said situ Ming

Liu Gong justly said: “in the battle of annexing Xijin, Yan Taifu really made great contributions, but one thing, his majesty did it for him. In fact…”

After all, it was too important. Duke Liu said that he could not help but wipe his cold sweat, and then he continued dryly: “Yan Taifu was an important official in the Xijin dynasty. It is said that he was the initiator of the war that led to the subjugation of Xijin.”

“What?” This news, it can be said that the stone is groundbreaking, situ Ming can not help but change color. Duke Liu continued in a cold sweat: “the reason why he would betray Xijin is not clear to the slaves. But it is true that he started the collapse of Xijin and the destruction of Nanyue clan. In recent years, the Yan Family devoted all their efforts to defend Qiongzhou city for his majesty, not only for the imperial court, but also for their Yan Family themselves. At that time, because they offended Xijin and Nanyue at the same time, the Yan family was desperate, so they changed their names to join us. However, Yan Taifu was really talented. In these years, he did not let down his Majesty’s love for him. Therefore, his highness just asked the slave that general Wuwei could not be trusted. The slave felt that, in addition to relying on the protection of our Dongling royal family, their family had only one way to die. Because as long as your highness tells the South moon night emperor of their origin, then they will be killed quickly by the night family and the heaven. ”

Liu Gonggong’s words convinced situ Ming that the Yan family would not betray Dongling, but that Yan Lian, with his own strength, was capable of stirring up so many things

Yan’s family began to make him deeply worried.

When he returned to the imperial study, his expression was not relaxed, but more dignified than when he left.

Yan Jintian is still kneeling there, a pair does not care about the appearance.

In silence, situ Ming slowly walked back to the case and sat down.

Yan Jintian said: “how, has your royal highness Rui made a decision at this time?”

Si Tu Ming slowly raised his head and looked at his calm face. For a long time, he suddenly whispered: “You Yan family has a long history. You are such a volatile ambitious generation. Do you think I should believe you?”

Once upon a time, they were able to stab Xijin in the back. Now, how can situ Ming secure them around. “Why not?” Yan Jintian said: “the royal highness of King Rui has already grasped the lifeblood of the Yan Family and grasped my handle. Since you know that I have no way to retreat, why can’t you believe me? What’s more – I’ve been so frank in front of your highness, and I’ve revealed my short comings. This is my sincerity to your highness, isn’t it? “This is true. If situ Ming hands them over to Ye Qinghua and his son, they will die.

The reason given by Yan Jintian is full and reasonable.

However, from the bottom of his heart, situ Ming still did not believe him.

He pursed his lips in silence, weighing the pros and cons.

Yan Jintian waited for a moment. Seeing that he still didn’t make up his mind, he sighed deeply: “since his highness King Rui still can’t make up his mind, I’ll tell his highness more about the past and secrets.”

Si Tu Ming raised his eyes to look at him, and his vigilance did not diminish. Yan Jintian said calmly with a smile: “you must be confused about the reason why Yan’s betrayal of Xijin even led to the destruction of the country in Xijin. Indeed, with this warning, you can be forgiven if you don’t believe that I will be loyal to the country and the country of Dongling. But I can tell you that the head of King Zhao’s neck is bound to be brought back for you. Even if it is not for the stability of Dongling, he or I, the enemy of Yan’s family, can take revenge and vent my personal anger, This reason is enough for you to believe me!
