In addition to Chaoqi, Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu were both hiding as far as they could in this royal internal affairs. No matter what the final result was, they would rather not get involved.

After receiving the order from the old emperor, Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu exchanged glances with each other, but they still couldn't escape.

Seeing this, Chaoqi hurriedly said, "Mr. Xun, Your Majesty needs you at this time."

Xun Jiwu said lightly: "Let's go, father-in-law. It is also an honor for us ministers to be able to solve our worries and problems for Your Majesty."

When the two walked into the bedroom, the original blood stain on the ground had been wiped away. Everything in the room was as before, and nothing seemed to have happened.

At that time, Xiao Yan was paced back and forth in the room. He seemed to be unable to figure out something, and then stopped after seeing Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu.

Xiao Yan called Chao Qi out, and then pulled Xun Jiwu and the others to sit down.

Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu were a little confused by Xiao Yan's actions. They did not understand the meaning of His Majesty's move for the moment.

Xiao Yan asked the two of them to sit, and he himself stood in front of them and stared at them with a high apex. Xun Jiwu thought of getting up but was pushed back by Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stared at the two of them with a burning look on his face. He asked anxiously, "Two dear friends, I... am I a thief?"

Upon hearing this, Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu were even more confused, not knowing what happened that made the emperor react so abnormally.

However, Xun Jiwu still asked, "Your Majesty, why do you say this? Why do you compare yourself with that thief?"

After saying this, Xun Jiwu suddenly realized that the emperor's abnormal reaction was probably related to the result just now.

After Xun Jiwu finished answering, Xiao Yan immediately looked at Yuchi Fu.

Seeing this, Yuchi Fu immediately said, "Who dares to arrange your Majesty like this? The old minister will tear his mouth apart now."

Xiao Yan did not care about the reactions of the two, and said directly: "That means that I am not a thief, but a good monarch who is loved by the people."

Xun Jiwu heard this and said, "If Your Majesty, you are not a good monarch, who else dares to say yes? Under your rule, Daliang has developed from a ruin today, which is all due to your benevolent government and loving the people. Pull the people out of the war, give them a stable and prosperous life, and ensure that they are not violated by foreign enemies. If this is the case, he is not a good monarch, then the old minister doesn't know who can do it."

Xun Jiwu said sincerely, and Xiao Yan finally showed a smile on his face after hearing this. Although it was a little stiff, at least it had it.

Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and stopped staring at them. He paced in front of the two of them, murmured, "I am not a thief, I am not a thief."

Seeing this, Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu both hurriedly stood up. The father and son were robbed and fought against each other. The old emperor probably used to this kind of scene in his life. Now that he appears again, he himself is unwilling to admit it.

The two of them did not speak again or comfort them, so they stood quietly aside and waited for the emperor to untie the thought in their hearts.

After a long time, Xiao Yan stopped and looked ahead, and his original spirit was also dissipated.

He kept retreating and finally collapsed on the chair. Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu hurried forward to support him when they saw this.

Yuchi said, "Your Majesty, you must take care of yourself, don't worry about these things."

Xiao Yan's eyes were floating and murmured, "But they are all my sons! Now they are all here to rebel. Did I do something wrong? My dear, what did I do something wrong?"

Xun Jiwu comforted him and said, "Since ancient times, the ruthless family has always been the imperial family. It's not that you did something wrong with your Majesty, but that the seat on the dragon throne is too tempting to make many people lose their direction."

How could Xiao Yan not understand such a simple and easy-to-understand truth? Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu also knew that the emperor understood it, but it was just difficult to convince himself.

The old man, who was already in his seventies, seemed particularly old at this moment. The lust and sharpness he had just now disappeared, which brought about the loneliness of an old man in his twilight years. Although he was the emperor, he was also his father.

Xiao Yan didn't speak anymore, just signaling the two of them that they were fine and let them return to their seats.

The room was silent for a long time.

After a while, Xiao

Yan restrained his thoughts and his eyes became sharp again. He slowly spoke, "I have sent Chen Jingzhi to deal with the people outside the city. After the ten thousand border troops are controlled, we will temporarily disrupt the inclusion."

Xun Jiwu also agreed with the emperor's decision when he heard this. Although the chief general of these people, Wang Xuanmo, came from the Langjia Wang family, they were not private soldiers of the Langjia Wang family. They were originally the Shence army of the past, but now they have changed their defenses to the border. After all, they are still loyal to the court.

Xun Jiwu said: "The subsequent appeasement matters will be resolved by the old minister."

Xiao Yan nodded after hearing this, and said, "These things have been resolved. What we have to face in the future are those rebels. Yuchi Aiqing, I plan to send you to the front line to take charge personally. King Yuzhang has returned to his jurisdiction. I believe that the pair of reinforcements from Yuzhang County will rebel soon. Zhao Gan and his team do not have the advantage in numbers and they need to retreat. It will take time to wait for other reinforcements to arrive. Therefore, I still hope that Yuchi Aiqing can help me stabilize my morale on the front line."

When Yuchi Fu heard this, he immediately accepted the order and said, "Abide by Your Majesty's edict, the old minister will set off tomorrow."

The old emperor smiled with relief when he heard this, "I will send a team of Jinyimen to follow you, so don't worry about safety."

Yuchi Fu waved his hand and smiled, "Your Majesty is too worried. Although the old minister is old, his courage is still there. If Your Majesty needs me to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, the old minister will still have no choice."

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I know the courage of Yuchi's beloved, but the dynasty still needs you, so you can't just leave your hands alone."

Yuchi Fu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I want to live a few more years and enjoy the joy of family. I have fought a lifelong battle, just to enjoy it."

Yuchi Fu, who was born in the army, spoke bluntly. Although he did not turn around, he was most in line with Xiao Yan's wishes.

Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu were not worried about the arrangements for the subsequent battle formation. They knew that the emperor had already made arrangements.

Afterwards, Xun Jiwu and Yuchi Fu retreated, leaving only Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan, who had experienced great ups and downs, called Chaoqi in and asked him to accompany him to the platform to blow the wind. Today, the sun shone brightly, no wind or rain, which is the best time.

On the high platform, he asked carefully at Qi's bowel movements when he saw the sunlight, "Your Majesty, do you want to call someone to hide your sun?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "No, I feel cold and need to shine on the sun more."

Seeing that the emperor looked sad and didn't know how to comfort him, Chaoqi had to say, "Your Majesty, I've been there all the time."

Xiao Yan smiled slightly when he heard this and did not speak again.

The outer Shence Army stationed in the city received the emperor's imperial order before Xiao Tong entered the capital, so Chen Jingzhi prepared a large army in a short time after receiving the Tiger Talisman of the Transfer. Although the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 border guards was not weak, Chen Jingzhi was sure that they were asked to surrender in a short time.

Outside Jinling City, the edge of the pavilion.

Wang Pei and Wang Xuanmo waited from morning until the setting sun was setting until the crown prince returned, but finally waited for Chaoqi.

Chaoqi came with the old emperor's oral order to tell him that His Highness the Crown Prince would stay in the palace for a few days, and His Majesty allowed him and the two of them to follow him into the palace.

For Wang Pei and Wang Xuanmo, who are still unaware of the development, this is naturally a great thing.

The ten thousand soldiers and horses have been arranged now. If they enter the palace and meet His Highness again, great things will be expected.

So after receiving the edict, the two responded without thinking too much.

After that, Wang Xuanmo briefly explained the matter and then rode into the city with Wang Pei on the frame.

As the carriage slowly entered the city, the sky quietly darkened.

The two Wang Pei and Wang Xuanmo, who were originally in high interest, gradually realized something was wrong after entering the city, especially Wang Xuanmo. Years of marching and fighting made him naturally alert to danger.

He found that there were more people following the city and it seemed that these people were not ordinary palace guards.

The first thing Wang Xuanmo thought of was Jinyilang, and the more he thought so, the more worries he had in his heart.

As the carriage finally entered the palace city, Wang Xuanmo and Wang Pei were taken down by Jinyilang without taking any action.

Prison.

Tonight's outside Jinling City is destined to be peaceful.

The group of border guards scattered around Xingting were ready at first, but as Wang Pei and the chief general Wang Xuanmo left, they gradually felt that the matter was not that serious, and everything was expected.

Although they dared not make fires on the spot, their vigilance had already relaxed.

After late at night, fog gradually grew in the mountains and forests outside the city, and the moonlight shone, and many soldiers were already asleep.

Shen Jingzhi had been waiting for this time. After late at night, he arranged for the army to set out from all sides to surround the other side.

Shen Jingzhi's purpose was to deal with the generals first, and then the others could be taken down without any effort.

After a long time, the agreed time came, and the Shence Army began to act from all directions and gradually surrounded the border guards.

Because of no vigilance, the 30,000 Shen Ce Army quickly dispersed them into various scattered parts, and they were all controlled in less than half an hour.

Shen Jingzhi and his several deputy generals each carried several heads in front of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Your lord is dead, why don't you surrender quickly?"

The loud shout echoed in the mountains and forests. Only then did these people know what was going on? They were surrounded.

As the news of the death of the Lord General gradually spread among the army, the already deflated army lost the courage to resist.

The fire in the mountains and forests illuminated the place like daylight. The Shen Ce Army controlled and brought back the scattered parts in batches according to the prior deployment.

At this point, Xiao Tong's final plan became empty.

The movement outside the city naturally did not avoid the attention of those who were interested, but it is unknown why the two armies of the court met each other.

Some people speculate that this matter is related to the prince who returned to Beijing, while others think it is just a simple military training and cannot be taken seriously.

But why is it not what they need to care about after all. As long as the world is peaceful, their rice will be indispensable.

From the time the prince led his troops to return to Jinling secretly, he and his subordinates have been captured for only one day. On that day and night, officials from the prince's lineage who were still sleeping were still raided by Jinyilang overnight, killing and wounding.

And until the moment they died, they didn't understand why Jinyilang came to them.

On the morning court the next day, many officials did not come to court and were all officials from the prince's lineage.

Some people noticed this change, but no one would ask these inappropriate questions at this time, while the remaining officials of the prince lineage were speculating.

Although I don’t know what happened, I’m thinking about the worst.

In the morning court, Prime Minister Xun Jiwu simply explained the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing, but as for the current situation, no mention of it.

What the morning court wanted to discuss was the issue of war on the front line. His Majesty the Emperor formally ordered the dispatch of the Taiwei Yuchi Fu to go to the front line to take charge, and the rest sent several additional officials to the jurisdiction of King Xu Mu of Xiangdong and King Xiao Lan of Shu.

Although this was a very small change, when the officials heard about King Xiao Lan of Shu, they gradually became other thoughts.

Logically speaking, the King of Shu was also involved in the incident at the beginning, but now His Majesty not only did not punish him but gave him great tolerance.

So many people believe that there must be a bigger secret in this.

Although a morning court did not talk much about it, the changes in the world and the changes in the situation in the world were reflected here. The most appropriate thing for the officials themselves were the people who disappeared.

In short, the morning court is both at ease and panic.
