Ben Hou is ill

In July of the fourth year of Xingping, there was a funeral in Beidi.

Three days ago, General Zhenbei, Hou Ling of Guangnan, died of illness.

The eldest princess of Jin took the current prince to condole him in person.

Yan Zhaoge looked at the black coffin with a sad and bewildered expression.

Because of the unstable political situation, now that the Marquis of Guangnan has no relatives alive, the funeral is kept simple. Those who wear sackcloth and filial piety are the Marquis of Guangnan's soldiers, those who throw the basin are the Marquis of Guangnan's soldiers, and those who guard the spirit are still the soldiers.

Because the Guangnan Marquis refused to be the Duke of Shu, and refused to send a letter to the Guangnan Marquis asking him to surrender, and even led his troops to rebel, all his families were killed.There is only Guangnan Hou left.

Probably in order to deter opponents, the bloody case in the Marquis of Guangnan's mansion reached the Northland faster than Yan Zhaoge and his party. , before he died suddenly.

"Boy from the Yan family, I took this tiger talisman from your father. Now, I will give it to you. From now on, this northern land will be handed over to you. Don't be ashamed of the soldiers and civilians of the northern land. Don't be ashamed of Yan Zhenbei, don't be ashamed of... your word Yan..."

Until his death, the Marquis of Guangnan didn't say whether he murdered Yan Zhaoge's father Yan Lan.

In terms of stakes, the one who benefited the most from Yan Lan's murder was Guangnanhou. No one would say no to him, but Guangnanhou's demeanor before he died...was half ashamed I have no heart.He looked at Yan Zhaoge, there was only pain and sadness in those cloudy eyes, and there was also a little hope and pleading. He hoped that the Duke of Shu would end up like this. He hoped that the Duke of Shu and his family would die. He begged Yan Zhao Song, revenge for dozens of members of his family.

Yan Zhaoge finally took the tiger talisman.

The copper tiger talisman engraved with the words Zhenbei General's Mansion was still warm in her hand.

This is the temperature in Guangnanhou's hand, and this is his last temperature.

All the grievances and hatreds disappeared with this tiger talisman that gradually lost its temperature.

really?

Yan Zhaoge didn't know.

"What are you going to do next?" Si Chuanshao stood beside her and asked in a low voice.

"You are the eldest princess of Dajin, it is up to you to decide." Yan Zhaoge replied.

"Yan Zhaoge, most of the northern land is the fiefdom of your Marquis Ji's mansion. Cracking the soil to make a marquis is not a child's play." Si Chuanshao said.

It's ridiculous to say that when Emperor Renzong granted the last King of Yan the Marquis of Ji, he didn't have a fief. I am very unhappy.

Marquis Changping is a native of Liaodong County in the North. After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, he made many contributions in the battle to regain the North. He was eventually worshiped as the General of Zhenbei. All his soldiers and followers were from the township party. He fought for several years. The war brought up a group of lords from the Northland. These people followed the Marquis of Changping because they were from the same village, and after they gained fame, they were driven by the Marquis of Changping because of the combination of interests.Thus was born a Northland Military Merit Group that was not well controlled by the imperial court.

Emperor Renzong racked his brains to abolish Marquis Changping with his daughter's marriage, and then used Marquis Ji Yanlan in order to balance the remaining power of Marquis Changping.He thought that Yan Lan used to be an ignorant and incompetent prodigal son, even if he tried hard to catch up, he would not be able to achieve success, but he did not expect that Yan Lan was the second Changping Marquis, and even because he was a direct descendant of the royal family of Yan, because of the history of Yan Lan. For the hard work that Wang put in in the Northland, he was more loved than Changpinghou in the Northland.

According to the rules, conferring a marquis with merit has always been conferred in the hometown. After all, if wealth and honor do not return to the hometown, it is like walking in brocade clothes at night.But Emperor Renzong didn't want to. He finally abolished the Yan Kingdom, and made the descendants of the Yan Kingdom's family, which were born in large numbers, withered to such a state. If he was granted a county or a county in Beidi, this place is still The land of Dajin?How do you know that there is no possibility of a country within a country?

Therefore, Emperor Renzong gave Yan Lan a reward half in jest, half in earnest.

It was sealed in Beidi, I don't know how many counties, I don't know how many counties, I only know Beidi.

He said it was a joke because such a reward was not in compliance with the rules. In the north, there were not only the old lands of the Yan State, but also the old lands of the Zhao State, as well as Shangdang and Yanmen counties.But it is also serious, because Emperor Renzong issued an imperial decree, and the decree has the seal of Chuanguo Yuxi and the seal of the prime minister, which is an imperial decree in line with the law.

The conflict between the hatchback and the matter of the fiefdom will be settled.

After Yan Lan made meritorious service, there was no other reward except bounty.

The whole Northland is given to you, what more do you want?Is it possible to want a king of princes?

Such a reward does not exist, and everyone has forgotten about it. If it hadn't been for such a sudden change, no one would have taken this fief seriously.

However, it has become a life-saving straw at this time.

Emperor Renzong's method of scheming against the Yan family has become the basis for the Yan family's children to turn the tide, which is simply a joke in the world.

"Let the crown prince ascend the throne first. Names and utensils cannot be faked by others. As for what Chang'an thinks, it has nothing to do with us. Let's talk about stabilizing the North." Yan Zhaoge said: "The Huns can First of all, let people go to find out the reality of the Xiongnu, and don’t be deceived. After the notification, all the towns and cities in the northern counties will be closed immediately, allowing people to leave and not entering, especially to guard against large-scale refugees.”

Si Chuanshao stared at her.

Yan Zhaoge felt a little flustered for some reason when she watched her, unconsciously slowed down his tone, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Si Chuanshao looked at her and asked, "Is this what Ji Hou taught you?"

"I learned it by carefully studying history books, but it's just talking on paper."

Si Chuanshao said very seriously: "Yan Zhaoge, has anyone praised you?"

Yan Zhaoge was slightly taken aback, and thought about what Si Chuanshao said.

"It should be, no."

Her father Yan Lan is a person who is not good at expressing her thoughts, she can only do things, but she can't talk about them. She can often get some small things from Yan Lan after she has put in her own efforts, but she doesn't know that these are actually rewards. It was Yan Lan who was praising her.As for Princess Linyuan, it seems that she has never specifically praised her. She can't remember the details of getting along with her in the past, but if she thinks about it, she won't forget it.

"Then let me praise you, Yan Zhaoge, you have done a good job." Si Chuanshao said, "The decision of Princess Linyuan was not your fault, nor was it your fault that Yan Ningsheng was lost. It's on you, because you have to bear the future of the living besides everything about the dead."

Yan Zhaoge thought of Yan Ningkang and Yan Ningyue who had just settled in the Northland.

Everything about the dead.

The future of the living.

——If I taught Ning Sheng and them well...

—Take good care of your brothers.

Her father's vague words before his death and Princess Linyuan's entrustment were intertwined in her brain, like a ball of wool without a thread.

"Yan Zhaoge?"

"...You're right." Yan Zhaoge blinked lightly, moved the corners of his mouth, and said, "The future of the living is more important. The Marquis of Guangnan is dead."

Si Chuanshao breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Yan Zhaoge would stubbornly seek the truth, regardless of the current situation in the Northland, the Marquis of Guangnan is dead, and it doesn't matter whether he killed Yan Lan or not, what is more important now is that Support the crown prince to ascend the throne, put order out of chaos, and then pull down the Duke of Shu.

Hate this thing, many times, is not as important as the situation.

Since Yan Zhaoge is Yan Lan's direct son, there is no reason why he should not understand.

"You have no reason to bear the consequences for other people's choices. Those are not your fault, nor your responsibility." Si Chuanshao comforted her.

Yan Zhaoge nodded, hiding the deep look in his eyes.

How could it not be her responsibility? She was born to take care of the land of Yan and the country of Yan.

She is the only one left in the direct line of Yan Kingdom's clan. This is not her responsibility, but whose responsibility is it?

Now that both father and mother are dead, she is the eldest son, she is the head of the family, and she is Jihou, how could this not be her responsibility?

Yan Zhaoge moved his lips slightly, but did not say these words.

Si Chuanshao's responsibility is to assist. She used to assist her younger brother to ascend the throne and assist the government, and now she will assist the crown prince to ascend the throne.And what she, Yan Zhaoge, never wanted was to help others.

"I'll go and see my younger brothers." Yan Zhaoge said, "Let's arrange for the crown prince to ascend the throne as soon as possible, in case the night is full of dreams, and the Northland may not be a whole."

Si Chuanshao nodded, and suddenly said: "I haven't thanked you about the prince. I thought you were lying to me, but I didn't expect it to be the prince."

"I was trying to deceive you, but I didn't expect it to be the real prince." Yan Zhaoge said with a smile: "The person who entrusted me said that the child was called Cheng Quji, so I thought it was a child of a merchant family. Get so ordinary."

Si Chuanshao immediately asked back: "Cheng Quji? The Quji who went to treat the disease?"

"It should be because of these two words. Isn't it very common for common people to call this?"

Si Chuanshao was in a daze.

"What happened?"

"Cheng Quji is an eunuch next to the queen. He was the one who carried the prince out of the Jiaofang Palace on the night of the incident, and he disappeared after that. I only stayed in the Sanfu area after hearing about it. Find the prince."

Yan Zhaoge thought for a while, and said: "It's too difficult for Cheng Quji alone to carry the crown prince out. It should be sent out by the eunuchs in the palace. When I received the crown prince that day, many burnt A person whose face has been ruined and whose voice has been ruined cannot tell whether he is an eunuch or not."

Scholars are self-righteous and look down on eunuchs and jesters, but now it is the scholars who kneel down, and the eunuchs straighten their spines.Among these people, apart from the left prime minister who was martyred, which one is worthy of the emperor's attention?Which one is worthy of the salary given by the heavenly family?Which one is worthy of what you have learned?

Si Chuan Shao let out a long sigh.

"How can they be worthy of Da Jin?"

Yan Zhaoge didn't answer, but said: "I'll go first."After speaking, he took a step.

Si Chuanshao stood behind her, looked at her slightly thin figure, and asked, "Yan Zhaoge, is your Yan family worthy of Da Jin?"

Yan Zhaoge paused.

"Si Chuanshao, the Yan family is worthy of Da Jin, but your Da Jin Tian family is worthy of my Yan family?"

Si Chuanshao did not reply to her.

After Yan Zhaoge's figure disappeared from sight, Si Chuanshao murmured: "Of course I know that the surname Si is sorry for your Yan family, and my father is also sorry for your Yan family, but if you don't say anything about your father's mistakes, what can I do?" What about the current situation, what can I do?"

After Yan Zhaoge and his party arrived in Beidi, they lived in the Zhenbei General's Mansion as a matter of course. Si Chuanshao brought the crown prince to live in the inner courtyard, Yan Zhaoge brought his two younger brothers to live in the outer courtyard, and the Yan family's personal soldiers were in charge of guarding the entire building. mansion.

Yan Ningkang enlightened Yan Ning while reading. The young man held the child's hand, and the child held the pen in his hand, writing one ugly word after another on the paper.

"Third brother, is second brother not coming back?" Yan Ningyue asked in a low voice while writing.

Yan Ningkang replied, "He won't come back."

"Then can we go back to Chang'an?"

"We can't go back."

Yan Zhaoge watched quietly, and said, "Ah Yue."

"Brother!" Yan Ning jumped up when he heard the sound, ran to Yan Zhaoge's side, looked up at her, and asked, "Brother, can we go back to Chang'an?"

Yan Zhaoge glanced at Yan Ningkang, and said, "I can go back. We will go home and return to Chang'an when the eldest princess and the crown prince set things right, and when the Duke of Shu is executed."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. When did I ever lie to you?" Yan Zhaoge picked him up and said with a smile, "But Ah Yue should work harder? Look at your big characters, and I need to trouble you two Brother help."

Yan Ningyue blushed immediately, broke free from Yan Zhaoge's arms, and shouted: "I'm going to write now!" Then he looked at Yan Ningkang and said: "Second brother, don't come to help!"

He trotted into the room.

Yan Zhaoge smiled, and the smile on his face subconsciously restrained.

Yan Ningkang stared at her.

"Brother, aren't we going to avenge our father?"

"Of course we have to report. It's just that the Marquis of Guangnan is dead, so who shall we take revenge on?"

"The Marquis of Guangnan is dead, but the eldest princess is still alive, and the crown prince is still alive." Yan Ningkang paused, "Aren't they also murderers?"

"What evidence do you have?"

"If there is no emperor's order, how dare the Marquis of Guangnan do it? How dare he do it so clearly? Ever since his father was the general of Zhenbei, the Tian family has already wanted to attack the Yan family? Rewards, titles, what? One isn't?"

Yan Zhaoge fell silent.In fact, he approved of Yan Ningkang's idea, otherwise she would not have come out of Chang'an.Without this hatred.What does the turmoil in Chang'an have to do with her Yan family?Two hundred soldiers are enough to keep the Marquis of Ji's mansion intact. No matter who is in power, as long as he still wants a complete country, as long as he regards the Northern Land as the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, he must give it to her for the sake of the king's heart and the people's hearts. Give the Yan family wealth.It is better for her to eat, drink and enjoy herself for the rest of her life than wandering in the north.

But she wants to know the truth, she wants to take revenge with her own hands, and she wants to hold the northern military power in her hands.What she has paid for it for 20 years cannot just disappear in an instant.

"No. The Duke of Shu usurped the throne. Ninety-eight times out of ten, he murdered the emperor. Otherwise, the emperor would not die so quickly. In this way, neither Lu Chenghou's mansion nor Zhao Guohou's mansion can stay, and the Yan family and the Zhao family are here. Beidi has been helping each other for so many years, and now they are still in-laws, if I stay, how do you know that the Duke of Shu will not attack the Yan family?"

"Brother, I am no longer a child." Yan Ningkang left after saying this.

Yan Zhaoge stood there blankly, his mind blank.There was no one around her, and the air was as desolate as the desert of yellow sand.

The so-called letting go of hatred is not so easy, she still feels that there is something stuck in her heart, which makes her breathless and unable to vent.

But venting anger is not acceptable.

No matter who planned the murder of his father, it should not be blamed on the crown prince.Even if it was an order from the emperor himself, the prince should not bear it. He is just a child who doesn't understand anything. She can't kill the prince for this. That child is innocent.Besides, if she wants to support troops in the north, she must support the prince, so that she can stand up for justice.The emperor surnamed Si has not lost the hearts of the people in this land.

No one can usurp the throne because of her surname Yan.

As for the eldest princess... she couldn't doubt her.

Si Chuanshao's eyes always seemed familiar to her.

The author has something to say: Please cherish the [-] words I coded on the bumpy plane...
