. The rising sun leaped up, emitting countless beautiful colorful clouds, dyeing the undulating distant mountains into a golden color, Yang Yan looked up at the front, the city wall of Tianlin Mansion was in sight, and it also became golden under the morning sun. Yang Yan exhaled lightly, when he left this ancient city, he didn't expect that there would be this day, and he thought that he would never be able to come back.

Zhao Yueru is also in a fluctuating mood, and in just ten days after leaving Tianlin Mansion, earth-shaking changes have taken place. On the day he left Tianlin Mansion, he thought that he would never be able to reunite with Yang Yan from now on. And because of his own mistakes, not only did the emperor die, but even the Great Song Dynasty almost perished, but fortunately, with Yang Yan's efforts, he finally reached an agreement with Chen Junqing, Liang Kejia, Chao Yanzhi, Shi Hao and other ministers, and supported Zhao Chen, the king of Lixin, to inherit the throne, so that the Great Song Dynasty could continue to continue, and he finally had a chance to make up for his mistakes, and he could also eliminate all misunderstandings with Yang Yan and start again.

Zhao Chen, Zhao Qianru, and the old princess were all sitting in the car, and only the two of them followed Zhao Chen's car, walking side by side, and when they looked at each other, they all showed knowing smiles.

Gradually, I saw Han Yanzhi and a group of ministers led by Yang Yizhong, as well as the "Three Wonders of the Rivers and Lakes" who rushed to Tianlin Mansion in advance, with Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping and others, all waiting for them at the gate of the city.

The ministers who stayed in Tianlin Mansion received a notice from Han Yanzhi yesterday, seeing that the four ruling ministers all agreed, and with the support of a military general like Yang Yan who held real power, they all knew that Zhao Chen's succession was unchangeable, and under the current situation, Zhao Chen was also fully qualified to inherit the throne, so all the ministers agreed. Even if a few people disagree with it, they don't dare to say it at this time.

As soon as they saw Zhao Chen's frame arrive, the ministers, under the leadership of Han Yanzhi and Yang Yizhong, greeted them together, saluted Zhao Chen's frame, and said in unison: "See King Xin's Chitose." "Although Zhao Chen entered Beijing this time to succeed to the throne, he is not yet the emperor, and he can't bow to him three times and bow nine times, but this kind of etiquette is very grand.

When Zhao Chen saw it, he hurriedly got out of the car, bowed to the ministers, and returned the salute, saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Wang is too young to accept the big gifts from the adults. ”

Han Yanzhi said on behalf of the officials in Tianlin Mansion: "Chitose doesn't have to be too modest, please enter the city first, and then talk about it after settling down." ”

So Zhao Chen got back into the car, and the ministers marched towards the city with a team of chariots.

A group of people will enter the city, only to see a few fast horses running on the avenue, led by an old eunuch in his fifties, many ministers are known, this old eunuch is the governor of Deshou Guan's inner capital Li Zonghui, Deshou Palace is the palace where the emperor Zhao Gou lives in Lin'an Mansion, and this Li Zonghui is the chief eunuch who serves Zhao Gou.

When the group of them came to the front of the convoy, Li Zonghui immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said, "Old slave Li Zonghui, I have seen King Xin's Chitose. ”

The convoy stopped, Zhao Chen got out of the car again, helped Li Zonghui up with both hands and said, "Father-in-law Li, please get up." Is there something wrong? ”

Li Zonghui stood up from the ground, still bent over, hung his hands, and said: "In accordance with the Emperor's command, Zhao Qingyuan's army will make Lord Yang Yan Yang enter the Emperor Taishang." Everyone's eyes have always been focused on Yang Yan's body, and they don't understand why Zhao Gou suddenly wants to see Yang Yan at this time.

Yang Yan was also stunned for a moment, but immediately got off the horse and replied to Li Zong: "Gonggong Li, I will go with you to see the Emperor Taishang in the future." As he spoke, he was going to go with Li Zonghui.

Zhao Chen hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." "I can't help but feel up, because the last time Yang Yan entered the palace to see Zhao Dan, he was tricked into the palace by Zhao Yueru and was arrested.

Of course, Yang Yan understood Zhao Chen's thoughts, turned around and bowed to Zhao Chen, and said, "King Xin, please rest assured, the Emperor Taishang Zhao Weichen will go, there must be something important to ask, and the ministers will go now, and there will be no problem." Although he didn't know what Zhao Gou wanted to see him, he didn't know what conspiracy was there. The last time he was caught by mistake, he was actually because he was completely unwary of Zhao Yueru, so he drank medicinal wine without defense. Otherwise, Zhao Yueru may not be able to catch him.

But this time it won't. Even if Zhao Gou ambushed and arrested him, Yang Yan would not be arrested. Moreover, Yang Yan is confident that with his current martial arts, even if he does not have the "Wind Forest Volcano" in his hand, he should still be able to escape. Moreover, Zhao Chen's succession to the throne still needs to be edicted by Zhao Gou in order to appear justifiable, so no matter what, he should also go to see Zhao Gou.

At this time, Zhao Yueru also dismounted, came to Yang Yan's side, and said, "I'll go with you." Then he whispered, "Trust me, let me go with you." ”

Yang Yan nodded, and said to Zhao Chen: "King Xin, please rest assured, we will go." ”

Zhao Chen also knew that there was really no reason to refuse Yang Yan to see Zhao Gou, so he had to nod and say, "Please go early and return early." ”

Yang Yan saluted Zhao Chen again, turned to Li Zong and replied, "Gonggong Li, let's go." At the same time, in order to show respect for Zhao Gou, Yang Yan didn't even bring anyone with him, but just went back to see Zhao Gou with Zhao Yueru and Li Zong.

After they left, Zhao Qianru immediately went to Wan Xiansheng, Gu Zhengyang, and Yixiu, and asked them to follow in secret, and if something happened, they could also answer Yang Yan. Wan Xiansheng and the other three were not worried about Yang Yan, and after listening to Zhao Qianru's words, they immediately followed.

Seeing that the two of them followed, Zhao Qianru and Zhao Chen were a little more relieved. The two got back into the car and headed all the way to the palace.

Zhao Gou's palace is still on the Orange State, I heard that Zhao Yueru came with Yang Yan, Zhao Gou did not object, so he let Zhao Yueru stand outside the palace gate, and at the same time, in order to show that he saw that Yang Yan had no malicious intentions, Zhao Gou specially ordered people to open all the gates, Zhao Yueru stood outside and could see the movements of the two inside, but it was too far away to hear what was said.

Yang Yan entered inside, and after seeing Zhao Gou's gift, Zhao Gou gave him a flat body. This is the first time Yang Yan has seen Zhao Gou, I saw that he is of medium height, his beard and hair are almost gray, and he is usually well maintained, although he is an old man over seventy, there are not too many wrinkles on his face. I saw two shou eyebrows lowered, as if with infinite sorrow.

At this time, the chamberlain moved a round stool, and Zhao Gou gave him a seat. After Yang Yan thanked him, he also sat down. At this time, Zhao Gou waved his hand, and all the attendants retreated, and Zhao Gou said: "Yang Yan, this time the emperor collapsed in Ganzhou, and you supported King Lixin to succeed to the throne, which is the merit of Kuang Fu Sheji, and Yang Yi can have Sun like this, and it should be enough." ”

Yang Yan owed a debt on the seat, and said: "The emperor has spoken too much, and the micro-ministers dare not be ashamed." Of course, he knew that Zhao Gou would never praise himself when he saw him this time, so after answering, he sat up straight again and listened to Zhao Gou continue to say down.

Sure enough, Zhao Gou said: "There are only you and me here today, you don't have anything to say, I want to hear what you have in your heart." ”

Yang Yan was slightly stunned and said, "Weichen doesn't know what the Emperor Taishang means by this. ”

Zhao Gou smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Do you still want me to explain what I said?" Now the survival of the Great Song Dynasty is just in your thoughts, I just want to know, do you really support the Great Song Dynasty, or temporarily support King Xin as the emperor, stabilize the hearts of the people, and wait for the foundation to be stable, and then abolish it. If you really think like that, you don't have to do anything more, I can immediately issue an edict to give up the throne to you, and from then on, the dynasty will change, and the Great Song Dynasty will no longer exist at all. This country was originally taken by Emperor Taizu from Zhou Shizong, but now it has been taken back, and it is also a cycle of heaven, and the retribution is not happy. I just hope that you can treat the descendants of the Zhao family as Emperor Taizu treated the descendants of Zhou Shizong well, and it is enough. ”

Yang Yan was silent for a while before he said, "Does the Emperor want to hear the truth?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and said, "I naturally want to hear the truth, but it just depends on whether you are willing to say it." ”

Yang Yan continued: "Does the Emperor Taishang think that everyone wants to sit in the emperor's position. ”

Zhao Gou patted the handle of the seat and said with a wry smile: "Who doesn't want to sit?" How many people want you to fight for me, make father and son turn against each other, brothers dig walls, and corpses are everywhere, but is it just to get this position? ”

Yang Yan's eyes were blazing, he looked directly at Zhao Gou, and said, "Could it be that the Emperor Taishang killed Yue Wumu back then, is it for this reason?" ”

Zhao Gou's body trembled, he was silent for a while, and said: "I also know that Yue Pengju was wronged at that time, and I also believe that as long as I can let Yue Pengju march into Bianliang at that time, with Yue Pengju's general strategy and intelligence, I will definitely be able to recover all the lost territory of the Great Song Dynasty and revitalize the mountains and rivers." It's just that on that day, I'm afraid that Yue Pengju will also ...... Even if Yue Pengju has no ambition, who can guarantee that the generals under Yue Pengju have no ambitions, once the yellow robe is draped on him, he will have to do it if he doesn't do it. Moreover, I am not Emperor Taizu, nor do I have the majesty of Emperor Taizu. I was just an ordinary prince back then, and if it weren't for the invasion of the Jin Army, the Second Emperor would not have sat in this position. Saying that, Zhao Gou shook his head, sighed softly, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that people's hearts are so dissatisfied, sitting in this position, and trying to design ways to keep this position, not only for themselves, but also for their children and grandchildren to keep this position." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Weichen understands, so may I ask the Emperor Taishang if he believes it, is there any person who, even if this position is placed in front of him, will not be tempted?" ”
