Devil’s Advent

Chapter 685 Attack!

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zaifu, you are already waiting outside the imperial study."

Reported by Wei Zhonghe.

In Emperor Yan's eyes, a look of exhaustion flashed.

got out of the carriage,

Zhao Jiulang stood there, just looking at Emperor Yan without saluting.

With the support of Wei Zhonghe, Emperor Yan came to this side.

When the distance between the two sides reached a certain level, Zhao Jiulang sighed and knelt down:

"My lord, long live my emperor."

Emperor Yan said;

"I thought Mr. Zaifu would take off his official hat first and put it aside."

"I would like to, but I, Dayan, am not a big boss after all, and I don't have the ethos of hanging up the crown and throwing down the pick."

"yes."

Emperor Yan nodded and walked into the imperial study.

Zhao Jiulang got up and followed him in.

Emperor Yan sat on the head,

Zhao Jiulang knelt down below.

No matter whether Emperor Yan was in the imperial study or the prince supervised the country here, the majestic ministers all had seats, but he didn't.

Wei Zhonghe stood inside, and didn't take the initiative to invite Mr. Zaifu to sit down.

"His Majesty."

Zhao Jiulang spoke.

This is a very familiar scene to Emperor Yan;

Many courtiers began to use "morality", "rules", "rituals" and "people".

It will start in this way.

Originally, Zhao Jiulang didn't know how to do it. As the prime minister, he was supposed to be the leader of the bureaucratic group in the court to check and balance the imperial power, but in the years since Emperor Yan ascended the throne, he never took the lead in disobeying the will of Emperor Yan;

He didn't care even if the government and the public gave him a joke about the mud-bodied chief minister of the prime minister.

But today,

it's here,

he,

here we go.

Although he hasn't spoken yet, Emperor Yan already knows what he is going to say.

Emperor Yan, after all, Emperor Yan, when he was sitting in the imperial study, sitting on this chair, he was like the eyes behind the candles, while all the officials were trembling dolls among the candles.

at the same time,

Emperor Yan also knew why Zhao Jiulang dared to do it for the first time at this time;

because,

he,

Ji Runhao,

old.

Not talking about age, but coming out of the back garden this time has almost declared the emperor's lifespan, and has entered a countdown in a real sense.

A young and vigorous Emperor Yan,

He can change his prime minister at will, and as long as he shows the slightest sign of disobedience, he can stand aside, check and balance, or even send him away from afar.

but,

aged emperor,

When faced with this situation,

In addition to compromise, there is only compromise left.

He is back, back to his own center of power, but he is no longer the ninety-five supreme being who can kill and kill. He knows, and so do the courtiers, that his time is running out.

Relatively speaking,

Now it is the turn of the aging emperor to hope to preserve the stability of the entire court in an orderly manner, so as to pass it on to his descendants.

"Your Majesty, major national affairs are related to the safety of the country. An Neng is so casual, An Neng is such a trifle, An Neng... so!"

Zhao Jiulang "cries for long songs".

Emperor Yan smiled,

this look,

this tone,

this gesture,

Yes, yes, as expected of Zaifu who was promoted all the way up, the tricks those officials would play, Zhao Jiulang, can actually play better and be more devoted.

Between the monarch and his ministers,

no argument,

Because they are too familiar with each other, so familiar with all the arguments, once they go through in their own minds, they can almost imagine the immediate reaction of the other party;

Therefore, there is no need to speak out at all, and it will save trouble for each other.

But because it was too fast, it was a bit too thin, but Zaifu still controlled his emotions very well.

He didn't take off his hat,

Instead, he untied his official uniform,

bared his arms,

even,

He also reached out to his chest and patted it.

"Your Majesty, I did not bring a coffin."

In the Dayan Army, there has always been a story about the Marquis of Pingxi. It is said that when the Marquis of Pingxi went to war in the early years, he must carry the coffin with him and prepare for a deadly battle.

But actually,

It is inconvenient to carry a coffin during a war, but those who really like to carry the coffin out are actually civil servants.

Zhao Jiulang said,

He did not bring a coffin,

It means that he will not bring it for the sake of saving trouble;

His Majesty,

You are next to the minister, and there is a coffin.

Emperor Yan nodded.

"Your Majesty, I have entered the Prince's Mansion as a curtain, followed Your Majesty into the East Palace as a subordinate official, followed Your Majesty into the palace and ascended the throne. From Shangshu to Zaifu, I have never disobeyed any will of Your Majesty;

but this time,

minister,

I have to admonish Your Majesty:

His Majesty,

you are old

When you are here, you are naturally omnipotent, but please, Your Majesty, set the rules for Yan's future generations! "

national affairs,

You are free to

you are the emperor,

You are the father of princes,

You are the most powerful monarch of Dayan in the past hundred years;

You can do whatever you want,

But after you let it go, who will take care of this mess?

"My love."

"The minister is here."

"Then tell me, who should I choose?"

"As a subject, I should strictly abide by the guidelines of the minister. The prince has not made any serious mistakes. Since he supervised the country, he has been diligent and conscientious. I beg your Majesty, since you have comforted the Taimiao, set up the prince;

Please Your Majesty,

Give the prince a face,

Give dignity to Taimiao,

Give the Great Yan Jiangshan Sheji a face! "

This is the political correctness of civil servants.

The prince is already considered a half-personal king.

In the court, the existence of the Liuye Party can be allowed, but when someone asks you in a formal occasion, even if you are a hardcore Liuye Party, it is impossible to say that the prince is abolished and the Liuye is established!

This is disobedience, disobedience to the king.

"Prince, did you make a mistake?" Emperor Yan shook his head, "If it weren't for my support, the prince would have been unable to sit still in the East Palace."

Without him, the emperor would be sidelined,

The Liuye Party has long suppressed the princelings until they can't breathe.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince is your heir apparent. If you don't support the crown prince, who will support him?"

"I have not abolished the prince."

"But now, people in the government and the public are panic-stricken. Your Majesty, I implore you, make plans early, and decide the world early!"

By implication,

I support the prince is true,

But you, you can also change the prince,

but please,

hurry up!

"I'm not dead yet."

"Your Majesty, do you know why I didn't do my best today and didn't bring that coffin into the palace?

It's the minister's salary, can't afford a good longevity material?

Is it because the minister's subordinates have no servants, so they can't move this birthday material? "

By implication,

Because of,

Your Majesty, you are almost here,

Therefore, I dare not use the coffin to violate your taboo.

Emperor Yan looked at Wei Zhonghe who was standing beside him,

road;

"Look, this is my vassal minister, worthy of being my prime minister."

"Your Majesty, when I was in the Prince's Mansion, you were the master; when I was in the East Palace, you were the master; now, you are Dayan's Majesty, and I am Dayan's prime minister.

minister,

Be a plan for Yan's future generations! "

finished speaking,

Zhao Jiulang's forehead rested on the blue bricks of the imperial study.

Yan Huang closed his eyes,

Zhao Jiulang also remained motionless,

a long time,

Emperor Yan said:

"I'm hungry."

Wei Zhonghe immediately went out and shouted;

"Pass the meal!"

The royal meal was quickly brought in.

Like before, two copies.

Wei Zhonghe walked up to Zhao Jiulang and said, "Lord Zaifu, let's eat first."

Zhao Jiulang raised his head,

There is an obvious dark blue on the forehead.

Without being twitchy or pretentious, he got up and saluted Emperor Yan:

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

immediately,

He sat down on one side.

Meals, very simple.

Zhao Jiulang eats very quickly, and he has long developed the habit of eating while working.

Yan Huang there,

It took a little and then stopped.

Zhao Jiulang finished eating,

Look at the royal case on Yanhuang's side.

Wei Zhonghe understood, stepped forward, picked up the leftover food in front of His Majesty, and was about to send it to Zhao Jiulang.

At the beginning, when His Majesty's health just started to deteriorate, his appetite went down. Basically every meal reserved, Zhao Jiulang ate two people's portion by himself.

He is very supportive,

But still have to eat,

Don't let the outside world know that His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan has something wrong with his body.

but this time,

Emperor Yan raised his hand,

blocked Wei Zhonghe,

at the same time,

Looking at Zhao Jiulang,

road:

"Aiqing doesn't have to hold on anymore, don't break your stomach."

talking,

Emperor Yan leaned back slightly,

road;

"Let's leave the leftovers there. Anyway, everyone knows that my body is not getting better."

Zhao Jiulang opened his mouth,

This wrist ability is absolutely top-notch, and Zaifu Dayan, who was entrusted with important tasks by the late emperor for twenty years, burst into tears at this moment.

he got up,

kneeling on the ground,

road:

"Your Majesty, my minister is dead, my minister is dead."

"Aiqing, I suddenly miss the rice cakes made by my grandfather. At this time, I really want to eat a piece."

"minister……"

"Unfortunately, Grandpa is gone."

Emperor Yan let out a sigh,

"It's gone."

Zhao Jiulang stopped talking, and Wei Zhonghe didn't talk, no one dared to disturb the king's memory at this time;

"Some people, gone;

Those who are still living are not necessarily happy.

Wei Zhonghe,

You feel,

Is it worth it? "

"Your Majesty, although this servant is an eunuch, if Dayan needs it one day, this servant will not hesitate to charge forward with a knife. For Dayan, for Your Majesty, this servant will die!"

Emperor Yan turned his eyes back to Zhao Jiulang again,

road:

"Aiqing, there will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow. I don't want to see all the officials come to petition me to force the palace. What I fear most now is the noise."

"The minister complies with the order, and the minister will help His Majesty calm down the heated discussions among the ministers."

"Well, this big swallow cannot do without Aiqing."

"Sir, panic."

"Okay, Ai Qing, let's go to work, it's time for me to rest."

"The minister will leave."

Zhao Jiulang stood up,

When he was about to walk out of the imperial study room,

Yan Huang suddenly said:

"My love, is it worth it?"

Zhao Jiulang took a deep breath,

laughed:

"Your Majesty, minister, you can't even compare with Eunuch Wei, right?"

Wei Zhonghe immediately raised his anger,

Of course, not really angry.

At his position, how could he get angry at will when he was called an eunuch?

Moreover, it was still a joke from Zaifu.

The reason why he was angry was to let His Majesty see the excitement.

"hehe………"

Emperor Yan smiled,

Pointing to Zhao Jiulang,

To Wei Zhonghe:

"Wei Zhonghe, can you bear it?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your slaves, Mr. Zaifu is too embarrassing!"

...

Although in front of the father and the two princes, he shouted the slogan of cutting the feudal clan;

But after coming out of the roast duck restaurant, Ji Lao Liu led Zheng Fan back to his palace.

He Sisi and Ling Xiang came out to meet the guests, bringing two babies with them.

Mr. Zhenghou wrapped a red envelope by himself, which was very thick and piled with copper coins.

After meeting the person who should be seen and teasing the child who should be teased,

Ji Chengjue led Zheng Fan into his study.

In the study room, there is no secret room, because if even this study room can't be taken care of well, then Ji Lao Liu won't seize the heir, and go to sell cornmeal earlier.

Zheng Fan sat down by himself and raised his legs.

After being fed another big mouthful of baby food, I was really depressed.

After Ji Chengjue sat down, he picked up the wind oil essence produced by the Hou Mansion, and applied it on his brows and temples. Today, he can be said to be truly exhausted physically and mentally.

"Old Zheng, I am suffering."

"Treasure this meeting, maybe the next time we meet, it will be in front of your grave."

This joke,

What Master Zheng Hou said did not sound like a joke;

Ji Laoliu did not become angry from embarrassment, but nodded and smiled.

Regarding the matter of the roast duck restaurant, after a period of calmness, the two of them actually had a certain new understanding.

When sitting in the carriage, the two sides looked at each other, and they could see the information they needed from each other's eyes.

It wasn't the wind from Jin that blew to Yanjing,

It's purely that since the two met for the first time in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, they felt a certain characteristic similar to themselves from each other.

"You didn't remind me." Ji Chengjue pointed at Zheng Fan, "Prince Jingnan, you have such an attitude."

"I didn't know it beforehand. When I was in Litian City, the prince once asked me which prince he thought was more suitable to inherit the throne."

"How did you come back?"

"You know, I've always been a virtuous person without shying away from relatives, so I recommended you directly, thinking that you are Dayan's best candidate for the king in the future."

Ji Laoliu picked his ear with his little finger,

Then I put it on my lips and blew it,

road:

"I'm touched, but I still can't believe you're saying that."

"Then what do you think I'll say?"

"You, you probably think it doesn't matter. Anyway, you have already become a feudal town, and King Jingnan is determined to protect you. It doesn't matter who will continue to sit on that dragon chair in the future. You are in Eastern Jin, in your Marquis Mansion. , can continue to hit your push hands from a long distance.

you,

same as me,

mind,

The most cool. "

"You actually look at me like that?"

"uh-huh."

Lord Zheng Hou got up, shook his head, and said with emotion: "Okay, then I'll go to the East Palace to meet the crown prince."

possible,

In the eyes of others,

it's a threat

It's like flirting between brothers,

But Ji Laoliu leaned forward,

Looking at Zheng Fan,

asked;

"You didn't tell me when you were in the store, why?"

Why should two coffee tables be stacked together;

Why do you decide to end yourself?

even,

Why today, come home with me?

"You could have watched the fire from the other side, watching a play, with two handfuls of peanuts in your hands, why, why did you end up in person;

Don't say it's for me,

You, Zheng Fan, will switch places with me one day,

I'm not going to end,

I just know,

Protect your family. "

"Do you want to sit on that dragon chair?" Zheng Fan asked.

"I want to know more about what you want to do."

"Forget about you, I have to do it." Zheng Fan looked at Ji Chengjue and said word by word, "You haven't sat on the dragon chair yet, why are you asking so much?"

"My surname is Ji."

Ji Chengjue sat back in his chair,

continued,

"Some things won't change if I sit in the dragon chair or not. My intuition tells me that you are going to play a big game, and it will threaten Dayan's community."

"Don't worry, I won't stab you."

"You don't dare to stab Jun." Ji Chengjue said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do, I can help you."

"Tell you, it will only embarrass you."

Zheng Fan also sat down again,

"Let's take a step and take a look."

"Okay, good." Ji Chengjue rubbed his eyebrows again.

This is obviously a default.

Zheng Fan smiled, "Sure enough, the stability of the country and society is not as important as a person's dragon chair."

"I'm becoming a father."

"Okay, you can shut up now."

"Father of three children."

"I want to go to the East Palace."

"Maybe he will continue to be the father of more children in the future."

"I'm going to seek refuge with the prince."

"Hahahahaha." Ji Chengjue spread out his hands and placed them in front of Zheng Fan, "I want that chair, I must, I swear to you, you help me, I will help you.

Let's not say that we don't owe each other, just pretend that we trust each other again like we did in the desert. I like that feeling very much.

This big swallow,

This Yanjing City,

There are not many people who are more important than you, Ping Xihou. "

"Don't talk too much." Zheng Fan stared into Ji Chengjue's eyes very seriously, "Ugly words, I'll say it first, high-five the oath, it's simple, but after I help you, if you dare to forget you because of the different position today's oath;

sorry,

I will be very angry.

By the time,

Even if you, Ji Laoliu, sit on that dragon chair,

Unless you kill me in Yanjing City,

Once I leave the capital alive,

I will do whatever it takes to ruin your world and kill...your whole family.

I don't like the drama of being betrayed after trusting a friend, it's so vulgar, so boring, and so embarrassing. "

finished speaking,

Lord Zheng Hou spread his palms;

Ji Chengjue scolded with a smile: "Your surname is Zheng, don't look down on me, I was also in the rivers and lakes back then, you go to Nan'an County to inquire about the reputation of my hero Yan Xiaoliu!

In this lifetime,

I always have to think about why people are so crazy, these days are interesting.

surnamed Zheng,

I follow! "

finished speaking,

Ji Chengjue took the initiative to high-five Zheng Fan.

"Snapped!"

After high five,

The two sides quickly sat down.

Ji Chengjue said:

"The relationship between the father and the two lords can be said to be constantly cut and messed up. Xiaoqi's ascendancy is the safest way to make the family harmonious. At least, in the next few years, it will continue to be harmonious."

Zheng Fan said, "But the two princes want to watch the excitement."

paused,

Zheng Fan added, "Or, in their eyes, only after moving a knife can they be really quiet."

"They don't want to set the foundation of the country, but want to see our brothers kill each other." Ji Chengjue said.

"So...you can't hesitate anymore, it's time to make a move."

"No." Ji Chengjue shook his head, "It's time to fight, since the elders want to see the younger generations fight, then I, Yan Xiaoliu, will make a fool of myself.

Tomorrow the eldest brother will return to the capital, and there will be a banquet in the palace. Since the two kings and princes are gathered together, then the day after tomorrow, the father will definitely hold a grand court meeting. My first stab will be at the grand court meeting.

You, just wait and see the next good show. "

"Wait and see."

"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."

"En." Zheng Fan nodded.

Ji Chengjue stood up,

Pick up the brush and dip it in ink,

On the paper in front of you,

wrote eight words:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict"

"What's the matter, is your heart itchy?" Zheng Fan asked, "I still have some time, I can accompany you to think about the posthumous title."

Ji Laoliu blew two breaths on the paper in front of him,

road:
