The palace door slowly opened, and Yang Yan's figure was finally revealed. Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru both let out a scream, and ran out of the palace one after the other, not caring that Yang Yan was still covered in blood, they both threw themselves into Yang Yan's arms and cried loudly. The reunion after the catastrophe, the emotions of joy and sorrow were finally vented at this moment.

Yang Yan was not happy or sad in his heart, gently patted the shoulders of the two wives, and comforted them: "Okay, okay, now it's okay, everything is fine." ”

The two princesses cried for a while, but they were all people who knew the proportions, and finally controlled their emotions, and then they stood up straight from Yang Yan's arms, and then they thought that there were still a large number of people behind them watching, and they didn't feel a little blushing, and they were busy separating left and right, only to see Zhao Chen smiling and walking towards Yang Yan.

Yang Yan hurriedly knelt on the ground, saluted Zhao Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is late to save the fight, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”

Zhao Chen hurriedly supported him with both hands and said: "Yang Qing rushed back to Jiankang from Xixia to save the fight, born and died, loyalty can be learned, it is really a great achievement, what is the crime, please hurry up, no need to be polite." ”

Yang Yan stood up at this time, and Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru also came over to salute Zhao Chen, and said, "Official, we lost our temper just now. ”

Zhao Chen smiled again: "Reuniting after the catastrophe, joy and sorrow are born, and occasional gaffes are also human nature, not to mention that the two imperial sisters are not outsiders, so you don't have to care." It's just ......." He pulled Yang Yan again, pointed at Ye Muxue, and said: "Brother-in-law wants to thank this Ye girl, if she hadn't come to report the news first, let alone me, it would be my brother-in-law's family, I'm afraid it would be difficult to preserve." ”

Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru then remembered that Ye Muxue was on the side, as soon as the two of them saw Yang Yan just now, they forgot everything, and hurriedly passed one left and one right, and pushed Ye Muxue half down and half lame in front of Yang Yan, Zhao Yueru said: "What the official said is that this time it is really thanks to Miss Ye." I must thank them. As he spoke, he stepped aside with Zhao Qianru and Zhao Chen, so that they could talk.

In fact, after seeing Yang Yan, Ye Muxue was also excited, with mixed feelings, why didn't she want to be like Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru, and threw herself into Yang Yan's arms to cry. It's just that she also knows that her identity is different from Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru, although she was allowed to marry by Zhao Chen, but now she is not Yang Yan's official wife after all, and in front of so many people, she can't lose her temper, so she can only restrain herself.

Now that he was being held by Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru, he half-pushed and half-pushed in front of Yang Yan, he was so ashamed that his face was flushed, he turned his head against him, he didn't dare to look at Yang Yan, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Yang Yan stretched out his hands, gently held her hand, and said, "Miss Ye, I really want to thank you this time, I don't know how to say it, in short, in the future, we... We—" He said two "we" in a row, and he didn't know what to say later.

Fortunately, Zhao Qianru smiled at this time: "I don't need to say anything else, in short, we will be a family in the future, and we will never be separated, okay." ”

Yang Yan nodded and said, "Yes, from now on, we will never be separated." ”

Ye Muxue was so ashamed that even the roots of her ears turned red, but she still said "um" softly.

Yang Yan said again: "Everyone else is there, but what about the children?" Are they all okay? ”

Zhao Qianru said with a smile: "It's all good, it's just that there are two more children in the family." I'll take you to see them later. ”

At this moment, an attendant came to Zhao Chen and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Han Cheng and Li Dianshuai are asking to see the emperor outside the palace. ”

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Please let them in." ”

Although the rebels were defeated and the siege of the palace was lifted, it was not that the scriptures were all right, on the contrary, there were a lot of aftermath matters to deal with. The first is to find the three minds of the rebels: Zhao Hong, the leader of the rebels; Zong Tianxuan, the main commander of the rebels, and Shi Miyuan, the real planner of this rebellion. The second is that there are still many She Dang in the rebels who have escaped, and they must launch a large-scale manhunt throughout the city, and at the same time try their best to appease the emotions of the people and restore order in Jiankang City as soon as possible.

Therefore, after the overall situation was certain, Zhao Chen immediately sent Han Yanzhi out of the palace to preside over these aftermath matters.

After Han Yanzhi and Li Xianzhong met, they immediately pulled out 5,000 elite soldiers to defend the palace. Then 300 soldiers were assigned to each city gate to guard, of which 500 soldiers were sent to the three city gates of Dinghuai, Sanshan, and Zhengyang, which were not blocked. Then he divided his men and horses, and collected the remnants of the rebels in the city, as well as Zhao Hong, Zong Tianxuan, and Shi Miyuan.

Han Yanzhi and Li Xianzhong entered the palace to see Zhao Chen, and first saluted Zhao Chen, and then said: "Your Majesty, now the civil and military officials are all gathered in the Wende Hall with scriptures, waiting for Your Majesty to ascend to the palace to discuss matters. ”

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Did Zhao Hong, Zong Tianxuan, and Shi Miyuan find them?" ”

Li Xianzhong said: "Back to Your Majesty, I found it by the scriptures, the three of them are in the political hall of Zhongshu Province, and the minister ordered people to surround them all, how to deal with them, please make it clear to Your Majesty." "Zong Tianxuan and Shi Miyuan are nothing, but Zhao Hong is a member of the royal family after all, Li Xianzhong does not dare to dispose of it at will, it is still up to Zhao Chen to decide.

Zhao Chen pondered for a while before he said: "Han Qing went to inform the hundred officials and waited in the Wende Hall for the time being, I will personally rush to the political affairs hall, and after arresting the traitors, I will go to the Wende Hall to meet the hundred officials." ”

Han Yanzhi and Li Xianzhong were both stunned, but immediately said, "Honor." ”

At this time, Yang Yan said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "Qing and the princess have just been reunited, there must be a lot to say, let's stay here!" This time, I have Li Lao Aiqing to escort me, which is enough. ”

Yang Yan said: "Your Majesty, state affairs are big, family affairs are small, now the overall situation is determined, ministers and family members get together, sometimes in the later stage, how can you abolish the public because of selfishness." ”

Of course, he knew Zhao Chen's thoughts, on the one hand, Zhao Hong's matter wanted him to solve it personally, and on the other hand, he also wanted to end this rebellion in person, so he didn't stop it. However, now the Song army is in control of the overall situation, but after all, there are still many masters of the original Tianji Palace hidden among the rebels, and the trapped beasts are still fighting, in case of an accident, it will be difficult to do, and Yang Yan is still a little strange, because after Zong Tianxuan and others broke out of the encirclement, Yijing has been for a long time, so how can he have taken Zhao Hong and Shi Miyuan out of Jiankang a long time ago, why are they still staying in the political hall? Could there be some trickery? Therefore, Yang Yan was not at ease in the end, so he had to follow Zhao Chen.

Zhao Yueru had a heart-to-heart with him, understood Yang Yan's intentions, and also said to Zhao Chen: "The official family, the family reunion, and I am not in a hurry at this time, let the horse go with the official family." Moreover, it is not convenient for us to live in the palace for a long time, and now that the rebellion has been put down, it is time for us to go home. After the official family went, we also packed up and went home, and then entered the palace to meet the official family. ”

Zhao Chen thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay." Immediately ordered the Shocking Yan Army to defend the interior of the imperial city, and the Song Army deployed by Li Xianzhong guarded the periphery. At the same time, five hundred Song troops were dispatched to escort Yang Fu and his party home. He also asked Han Yan to rush back to the Wende Hall and go to tell the hundred officials. Then, accompanied by Li Xianzhong, Yang Yan, Tie Chenglin, Ling Xiang and others, he left the palace and headed in the direction of the Zhongshu Provincial Political Affairs Hall. Gu Xueping and Huang Mingxia both stayed behind to help Zhao Yueru and them clean up their things.

After arriving at the political affairs hall, I saw that 5,000 Song troops surrounded the political affairs hall, and they had already opened the gate and entered the courtyard. However, it only surrounded the lobby and did not attack the entrance. At the door of the lobby, there were more than a dozen rebels with knives and guns, guarding.

At this time, Feng Zizheng, the commander of the left army in front of the palace who was responsible for besieging the political affairs hall, came over to see Zhao Chen. After finishing the ceremony, Zhao Chen asked, "Have you ever been inside?" ”

Feng Zizheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, his claws are all there." ”

Zhao Chen nodded and said, "You go and persuade them to surrender first." ”

Feng Zizheng took the order and shouted, "Listen to the rebels, the Son of Heaven is here, do you still dare to resist?" Lay down your arms and surrender early. ”

At this time, Zong Tianxuan and Song Yiren came out of the lobby and said, "Is Yang Yan here?" Do you dare to fight me to the death? The two of them originally came to take Zhao Hong and left together, but then the Song army surrounded the political hall. At this time, there were only a hundred people left around them, and they knew that it was impossible to rush out, so they had to defend inside. When the Song army invaded the courtyard and retreated to the lobby, there were only about 20 people left, and among the disciples of Tianji Palace, except for the two of them, there was not a single Yijing left. Now they only have the idea of fighting to the death.

When Yang Yan was in the palace, he regained the treasure knife and carried it behind his back. Seeing Zong Tianxuan challenging himself, he said to Zhao Chen: "Your Majesty, please let Weichen fight." ”

Zhao Chen was slightly stunned, and said: "The two armies are fighting, since ancient times, they have fought wits but not bravery, and now the overall situation is in our hands, why does Yang Qing have to fight, in case of any mistakes, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?" ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, if the minister is not sure of victory, how can he dare to risk his life?" What's more, if he makes a challenge, if the minister does not dare to fight, he will not let others laugh at him. He and Zong Tianxuan fought twice, although each time he didn't really distinguish the winner or loser, but he knew Zong Tianxuan's martial arts with the scriptures, and now he has changed his usual sword "Fenglin Volcano", so he is full of confidence, so he can Zhao Chen ask for the order to fight.

Zhao Chen said: "But there are two of them, Qing is just alone, with one enemy and two, how can I rest assured." ”

At this time, Ling Xiang also came out and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the minister is willing to fight with Yang Yuma." ”

Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Be careful, I wait for the good news." ”

Yang Yan and Ling Xiang came out side by side, and when they came to the scene, the four of them faced each other, and Yang Yan said: "Zong Tianxuan, we will follow your wishes, and we will fight alone." I'll fight you fairly. ”
