Chapter 52 The Siege of Beijing

Yan Luan said: "Tao'er will report back to the emperor tomorrow, and go out of the palace to build his own mansion."

Zhao Tao said: "I have already told my father, and my father also agreed, but it will take time to build the palace, and there is no suitable ready-made house for a while."

Yan Luan said: "Why don't you go to your father-in-law's house to live for a while?"

Zhao Tao smiled and said, "Sir, did you let me marry you?"

Xie Wanqing also smiled and said: "Sir, he is a prince after all, is it suitable to live in Yuezhang's house?"

Yan Luan said: "You two don't mess with me, let me think about how to solve this matter."

When Yan Luan returned to Hongde Hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhao Ying saw that Yan Luan was not in a good mood, so she smiled and said, "What? Is Qinger really as angry as Taoer said?"

Yan Luan nodded and was silent for a while, Fang said: "Can you tell the Queen and Concubine Shu that Qing'er's prayers and needlework will not be spared?"

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "It's easy for me to say this, but based on my understanding of those women, after I say it, they will feel more resentment in their hearts. Then they will think of other more grievous ways to embarrass Qing'er. After all, it is I can't control the matter of the harem so finely."

Yan Luan nodded and said, "You're right. In fact, it's normal for ladies to resent me, it's just that Qing'er suffers."

Zhao Ying said: "I think it's a good idea for Tao'er to live in your house."

Yan Luan said: "Tao'er told you and you actually agreed? No wonder the young couple dared to mention this matter to me. If Tao'er also lived in my house, some of the ministers would definitely say that I was in collusion with foreign ministers The prince wants to be a powerful minister, and even said that I have the heart of disobedience, and I want to support the prince to usurp the throne."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "Do you think no one will talk about it now? In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a powerful minister. You see, behind every powerful minister is a mediocre and incompetent fool. Then you will do all the work, and I will do it every day. Eat, drink, and be merry..."

Yan Luan interrupted Zhao Ying suddenly, and said seriously: "Don't make such a joke, Shihuan, I don't like it."

Zhao Ying stretched her arms around Yan Luan's waist and said, "What do you care about what others say? Now the children really respect you, and your hard work was not in vain."

Yan Luan nodded, leaning into Zhao Ying's arms, and said: "What you said is that nine out of ten times life is unsatisfactory, and I shouldn't expect too much."

When Zhao Tao and Yan Luan said that Xie Wanqing would get up at the same time every day and go to the Queen's Kunning Palace to serve the Queen's grooming and breakfast, Yan Luan finally nodded and let Zhao Wei and Xie Wanqing live in Yan's Mansion.

That evening, Yan Luan was flipping through a book after dinner, Feng Ming walked in and said: "Master, the outside news came in, saying that Mr. Chen Wenying, Mr. Lu Binglu and Mr. Yan are here."

Yan Luan was a little surprised that these people would get together, and said: "Let the adults go to the inner study."

Chen Wenying and the others entered Yan Luan's inner study, and Yan Luan felt from the expressions on their faces that something important must have happened.He hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with the emperor?"

Chen Wenying said: "It's not the emperor's business." She lowered her head and thought for a long time before she said, "Ling'an, the late emperor...or your Majesty, he is not dead."

Yan Luan was so startled that he almost jumped from his chair to the ground, and said, "What? You mean Xuan'er..."

Chen Wenying said: "Yes, he is not dead."

Yan Luan said: "Then where is he now?"

Yan Shuang supported Yan Luan to sit down, and said: "Sir, don't worry, listen to Mr. Chen speak slowly."

Yan Luan looked at Yan Shuang and said, "Xiao Shuang, you know that too, don't you?"

Yan Shuang said in a low voice: "Yes, sir, let's listen to Mr. Chen from the beginning."

It turned out that since Yan Shuang visited Yan Luan in Wuchang, she couldn't let it go.I feel that Zhao Ying is not good to Yan Luan, but I really can't figure out why Yan Luan chose Zhao Ying in the end.If it is said that the only thing Zhao Ying is better than herself is that she has not usurped the throne for so many years because of Yan Luan.Zhao Xuan knew that Yan Luan could not be forced, so he came up with an idea.Try Zhao Ying with the throne to see who he chooses between Tianxia and Yan Luan.

After listening to Chen Wenying's words, Yan Luan frowned and said to Chen Wenying: "You just let him do this nonsense?"

Chen Wenying smiled bitterly: "He is the emperor, what can we do?"

Yan Luan said: "Except for the three of you who know the details, who else knows?"

Chen Wenying said: "Your Majesty probably thinks that civil servants are useless, so among the civil servants, I am the only one who knows about it. Among the generals, the three commanders-in-chief of the three battalions, the commander of the Beijing Guard, and Xia Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, all know about it. I don’t know if there are any more.”

Yan Luan said: "Why didn't you guys tell me?"

Chen Wenying said: "Actually, I have been hesitating in my heart about what to do. Do you remember that I once asked you if the emperor is against anyone, are you on the side of the emperor? You said yes. From then on, I decided to follow the emperor. .”

Yan Luan asked Yan Shuang and Lu Bing again: "Where are you two?"

Yan Shuang said: "I will do whatever my master tells me."

Lu Bingye said: "The same is true for the humble job. During this time, the humble job has been struggling every day, and finally made up its mind to follow the adults."

Yan Luan thought for a while, then felt something was wrong, and said, "Why are you looking for me today? Is Xuan'er about to act?"

Chen Wenying said: "Yes, His Majesty has sent a message that the army will surround the city of Beijing in the evening, and let the three battalions, Beijing Wei, Dongchang and Jinyiwei come from the city to meet them."

Yan Luan said in shock: "Tomorrow? You guys go to the palace with me and report to the emperor."

At this moment, Feng Ming came in and said: "Master, Uncle Lu said that there is something urgent to report to Master."

As Feng Ming said, Lu Tong had already walked in, before he could greet him, he said: "Master, the city of Beijing has been surrounded, and now the city is in chaos."

Yan Luan looked at Chen Wenying and said, "Yanhua, didn't you explain tomorrow?"

Chen Wenying said with a wry smile: "It seems that His Majesty has long been suspicious of us."

Yan Luan said to Yan Shuang and Lu Bing again: "Will Dongchang and Jin Yiwei mutiny at this time?"

Both Yan Shuang and Lu Bing said: "My lord (sir), don't worry, they don't know the inside story, even if something really happens, they will definitely protect the emperor with all their might."

Yan Luan said: "Hurry up and enter the palace to protect the emperor, I want to go up to the tower to have a look."

Lu Bingdao: "Don't worry, my lord. The Yulin army and the imperial guards are under the command of Hong Bai, and most of them are old people from the palace. There should be no danger in the palace. The city wall is very chaotic, my lord should not go."

Yan Luan thought, since he knew that Zhao Xuan was not dead, he must go to the tower to have a look.

At this time, Luo Xianlin came, and he couldn't wait to inform him, so he was led by the servant and went directly into Yan Luan's inner study.

Seeing Luo Xianlin, Yan Luan asked, "Xinlin, why are you here? Yan Hua just told me that Beijing Wei belongs to Xuan'er. Is the gate tower okay?"

Luo Xianlin nodded and said, "I have killed the commander of the Beijing Guard, and the commander-in-chief of the three battalions has also been replaced. Now the command of our Beijing Guard and the three battalions is in my hands."

Yan Luan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's okay."

The author has something to say: I revisited "Jin Xiao Tian Xia" yesterday, it is really well written
