Zhancheng South

Chapter 19

When the imperial decree was just issued, the officials came forward and said, "How can His Royal Highness Shaoyang be in charge of the commander-in-chief with a woman's body?" What else is there, "How can His Royal Highness the eldest princess be worthy of the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang?"

Seeing that the emperor couldn't be persuaded, and even the officials threatened to die, and his Majesty watched him hit the pillar to death, no one dared to say anything for a while.

After a few days, His Majesty the Emperor saw that there were fewer voices of opposition and said: "I remember that the Eldest Princess was raised and brought up by Emperor Taizu. I remember that Master Wen of the eldest princess was also personally invited by Emperor Taizu to come out of the mountain, do you have any doubts?"

The implication is that although Her Royal Highness is a woman, martial arts and martial arts are no longer a problem, why do you look down on people taught by Emperor Taizu?

The courtiers all knelt on the ground, "My Emperor Shengming, Your Royal Highness the Princess is really a blessing to me in Nanliang!"

Xiang Qi, who has always been abiding by his duties, couldn't help but pursed his lips, but few people looked at him. At first, these ministers thought that the new emperor was quite dependent on this Xiang Xiang when he was still the prince. I'm afraid that I can coerce the emperor to make the princes, but I can't imagine it. Is it possible that Xiang Xiang is really a person who doesn't admire power and is indifferent to fame and fortune?

Wang Jingzhi knew that it was true that Qi Xiang did not admire power, but it was false that he was indifferent to fame and fortune. He had not been back for a long time, and he didn't bother to have a word with Qi Han, but he knew almost everything he wanted to know, but I know everything I want to know.

Han Jin knew that He Yan was in Lin'an now, and he came back with Wang Jingzhi, but the people in the palace heard that their son had brought a man with him when he came back, and they all talked about it, Wang Jingzhi, who was too young to marry a wife, might have other orientations ?

Han Jin has no time to take care of this now. When he thinks that 2000 people died because of him, and He Yan was charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason because of him. of.

Han Jin was a little at a loss, and now he was looking forward to Wang Jingzhi telling Qi Han what happened. If Prime Minister Qi interceded, He Yan might have a lighter sentence.

But the key point is that old general Lin Zhu wrote a letter to He Yan for two crimes, inciting the people of Jinling to despise Tianwei and colluding with Beili to betray the lord and treason the country.

If He Yan hadn't been executed, with Lin Zhu and the Lin family's prestige in the army, I'm afraid they would stir up even bigger troubles. According to Prime Minister Qi's temperament, no matter whether Jiang Yi's death had anything to do with He Yan, he might be sacrificed. Lose Heyan to seek peace.

Although Han Jin went to Beijing with Wang Jingzhi, he couldn't hope to put it all on Wang Jingzhi. Mr. Wang seemed gentle and easy to recognize. I heard that he and Qi Xiang had a bad relationship. In Han Jin's opinion, the relationship between the two was not bad. It's not good, the quarrel in front of others is more like an act, and the tacit understanding between the two can be seen by just looking at it.

Right now, he doesn't ask Wang Jingzhi to help him save He Yan, as long as he can meet He Yan.

Wang Jingzhi went to the palace to report on his duties, and informed the emperor of what they had seen and heard in the Beili army and the conspiracy between Qi Xiang and Xia Mengyu. In front of Qi Xiang, he also detailed the cause of Jiang Yi's death and He Yan's treason. Please His Majesty the Emperor decide.

Xiao Ziyu looked inexplicably at Qi Xiang, whom he should honorably call "teacher", although he knew that Qi Xiang and Bei Li had the intention of conspiring with Bei Li as early as when he was the prince, but he would still sigh after knowing what they were planning.

The current He Yan matter is not considered difficult, but Xiao Ziyu really didn't understand what Xiang Xiang meant, so he asked, "How does Xiang Ye think this He Yan should be dealt with?"

Qi Xiang replied: "The crime of treason should be executed."

Wang Jingzhi quickly retorted: "Although this Heyan really betrayed the Lord, he donated most of our family property to Nanliang earlier, which can also be said to be meritorious. In addition, this Heyan and the sixth prince of Beili are blood relatives. The thing in the picture is not small, if He Yan is beheaded at this time, I am afraid that Xia Mengyu will..."

Xiao Ziyu said: "What's the matter with the rumors about Han Jin that have been rumored recently? Is this Han Jin really just an imposter?"

Wang Jingzhi replied: "Your Majesty, this Han Jin's identity was confirmed by Elder Lin. When the Patriarch Hejia brought Han Jin back, it was said that Elder Lin came to prove his identity on his own initiative. Han Jin had just informed Prime Minister Qi of this son's identity, so neither Han Jin nor He Yan knew that Elder Lin was lying."

The little emperor, who was in a high position, said with a smile: "Does Wang Aiqing know that the two of them don't know about it, or does she think that the two of them don't know about it?"

Qi Han replied: "Your Majesty, He Yan did not know about it. He Yan's treason is related to this matter. Xia Mengyu has repeatedly hinted that he wants He Yan to return to Beili. This time, Xia Mengyu forced He Yan to save Han Jin's life. Treason, the meaning of Master Cai Wang has been expressed very clearly."

Xiao Ziyu said: "Then I don't know what is on the Patriarch of the He family that Bei Li must have?"

Han Jin in the prison was also asking Heyan, "Why does Xia Mengyu insist on charging you with treason?"

It was already mid-March at this time, but the dungeon was dark and humid, Han Jin still felt sad when he saw He Yan sitting in the corner in his single clothes, such a person should live in a pile of beautiful flowers, hugging each other, Take two or three friends to go outing in spring, instead of being imprisoned in a dark and damp dungeon because of him.

He Yan heard the familiar voice again, raised his eyelids to look, and suddenly there was light in his eyes, "You're back." He Yan said with a smile on his lips, "It's good to be back, why is your face so bad?"

Han Jin said with a stinky face: "You should look in the mirror and look at yourself, which one of us has the worse complexion!"

He Yan said: "You seem to have grown taller after walking for so long, and you look thinner."

Han Jin choked out angrily: "It's been a little more than half a year since I left, can there be so many changes? Forget it, I know you won't say anything if I ask you, take care of yourself and wait for you to come out Now, let me listen to you slowly."

Walking all the way out of the dungeon, he used the identity of Mr. Wang’s servant to visit the prisoner. Han Jin heard the guards talking all the way, "The border was defeated, Huancheng was lost, this time it is really Beili and the prisoner." Won!"

"It's not that the fake Han family is shameless, impostor, and killed so many brothers in vain. He also relied on his status to command blindly, causing Huancheng to fall. It is said that thousands of soldiers were lost when the army withdrew from Huancheng. life!"

"Bah, this villain, if it weren't for him, we at Nanliang might be able to take back all three cities!"

"Hey, I heard that he died, and died in the army of Beili."

"Hmph, this kind of villain, if he doesn't die, he won't have the face to live on."

Since Han Jin came back from the border, these few days people will discuss how he, the imposter, deserves to die. He thought about it carefully. Kill those people to death.

He is not afraid of death. If He Yan can survive this time, he still wants to live in this world. If He Yan can't survive unfortunately, then he will follow the public opinion and die. It's okay to make up his mind Don't be afraid anymore, he will try his best to save Heyan, if he can't save him, he will die with him.

When Han Jin asked to see Xiang Xiang, he made it clear what he wanted to do in the future, and he still held a secret, in exchange for Xiang Xiang to leave a way out for He Yan.

After Qi Xiang knew Han Jin's background, he said without interest: "He Yan's treason is a foregone conclusion and cannot be saved."

Han Jin replied: "I know where the real orphan of the Han family is, or I know who he is, and I will exchange this for his life."

Qi Han was still not interested, "What does this have to do with me, I don't care where he is or who he is."

Han Jin didn't panic, and said slowly: "Perhaps when the adults know about it, they won't say that anymore! Besides, Xiang Xiang doesn't want to avenge Miss Jiang?"

Qi Han straightened his body slightly, "Let's listen."

"Miss Jiang was killed because she found out the identity of the descendant of the Han family that General Lin Zhu wanted to hide.

You made an appointment with Xia Mengyu to help him secretly control Beili, but war is not the best way. The more people die, the more likely the conflict will intensify.

This war between Nanliang and Beili should be fueled by someone, and the purpose of this person is to revive the Han family, or use the war to return the Han family's name to the eyes of the world.

Mr. Qi's plans may be useful to this real Han family. Seeing that Qi Han's interest was successfully brought up, Han Jin was not in a hurry to listen to Qi Han's words slowly.

"That's why I don't understand. You're a very smart kid. Why did you fall so badly on the battlefield? And you're notorious all over. Could it be that the battlefield is really unpredictable and unpredictable? Or some people Caring too much?" Qi Han seemed to sigh with emotion.

"Sir, Mr. Qi can't say that on my head. I can't see the affairs of the world because of one person, but Mr. Qi is willing to work hard for the world because of one person."

Qi Han raised his eyebrows and said, "If you hadn't been raised by He Yan in Jinling for four years, I'm afraid you've already been granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister by now, don't you blame him?"

"If Qi Xiang hadn't been delayed by Miss Jiang for so many years, I'm afraid that now the world is in prosperity and peace, and the world is unified, and Qi Xiang has become a 'virtuous prime minister'."

"Let's not talk nonsense, old general Lin Zhu has been a soldier all his life, and he was supported by the Han family when the Jiang country was not destroyed, so he gained his current reputation. It is not so difficult to understand that he planned for the Han style in order to repay the kindness of his knowledge. "Qi Xiang touched his chin and said to himself.

Han Jin replied: "That's exactly the case. General Lin Zhu hoped that the Han family would revive and regain its glory for a hundred years, so he left a seed for the Han family. Lin Zhu had no children at all, and he raised this child as if he were his own child." , teach carefully."

"It's wrong to say that! If he really regards this child as his own son, how can he be willing to shoulder the important task of revitalizing the clan? Not to mention that the clan was exterminated and mixed with the Nanliang royal family."

Han Jin said: "There are some details. In fact, this old Lin also taught me for some time. Originally, I was supposed to replace Lin Shu when he went to the border. There were some accidents in the middle. I didn't go, and I got Han's The token, but the authenticity of this token is open to question.

Later, Mr. Lin seemed to know about your plan, so he felt that he should let me bear the name of Han's name as a scapegoat, and then let Lin Shu turn the tide.Unfortunately, it seems that there are remnants of the Han family's hidden soldiers, and they don't seem to be under the orders of the tokens, and the most surprising thing is that Mr. Lin Zhu seems to have made the remnants of the Han family to obey him.

In addition, it seems that the money and food donated by Hejia many years ago for military supplies have not been fully used on the battlefield in northern Xinjiang, and there are Tibetan soldiers who may be under Lin Zhu's orders in the northwest. "

After Han Jin finished speaking, he asked, "It's a coincidence. I don't know if this secret is enough to save his life."

"Han Jin, I have some doubts about who you are, it's a mistake, but it's really a good word, and it's written in one stroke.

When you first thought of this, did you ever suspect that He Yan conspired with us to send you to Bei Li to sacrifice to the heavens, waiting for the great cause to come true? "

Qi Han didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, so he asked so nakedly.

Han Jin answered truthfully: "To be honest, at the beginning I blamed him a little bit, for not believing me, for driving me out of Jinling, for forcing me to become the Han family by training soldiers in private, naturally I also doubted what you said, he Maybe give me to Bei Li as a gift after the matter is completed.

But I quickly figured it out, He Yan is a very simple person, maybe what I said is not right, he is a person who loves and hates very simple, he believes in Mr. Lin, so even if he has doubts, he will not doubt To Lin Zhu; his father entrusted Jinling to him, and he would protect the people of Jinling even if he lost all his wealth; he didn't know my identity when he picked me up back then, even after he knew, he still protected me wholeheartedly, I don't believe that he is willing to send the person he protects by his side all day to sacrifice to heaven.

If he is so good to me, he will never hurt me."

Hearing these words, Qi Han sighed for a while, before he could reply, he heard Han Jin say again: "I'll just say it all today.

I am indeed not Han Jin. At the beginning, my father put me outside Jinling City in the ice and snow, and picked me up.When Elder Lin accused me of being the Han family, I didn't refute it because I was originally sent to Jinling City as a substitute, and I deserve the infamy I have received today, and I have no reason to complain.

I took the lives of those two thousand people.But about Lin Zhu, I won't bear it.He Yan, don't try to stop me, I won't take the initiative to harm him, but he won't survive either. "

At this time, Qi Xiang smiled without saying a word, and a figure came out from the side hall. It seemed that he had freshened up and was in good spirits. He had just arrived, and he heard Han Jin's confession. He agreed, but when he was found walking out, he took a rough look, and the eyes of the young man in front of him were red.

Seeing this scene, Qi Han was rather savvy, and said: "You talk, everyone around here has been cleared out, and no one will know what you say or do." After speaking, he winked at He Yan, who had no choice but to return "Thank you."

Turning around, he stretched out his arms to hug the person who was about to cry, patted his back, and said helplessly, "You've been wronged, and I haven't blamed you for hiding so many things from me."

Han Jin hugged back, was silent for a while, and said sullenly: "Even if you say that, I won't forget that you almost died."

He Yan let go of Han Jin and smiled, "I won't stop you from now on, but you can't hide anything from me."

Han Jin always felt that seeing Heyan this time was a bit different. Although he came back this time except for seeing him once in prison, he was in a hurry. He came to see Xiang Qi today because he wanted to rescue He Yan no matter what, but he didn't want Xiang Xiangxiang. It was expected that he would come, not to mention that Kazuhiko was also there.

"What does Prime Minister Qi mean? Are you going to let you go? What about your charges?" Han Jin remembered the business and hurriedly asked. He Yan didn't hear what Han Jin said, and Han Jin was still worried about him. , Then he said: "After you visited me that day, Prime Minister Qi released me from the prison, and I have been staying in the Prime Minister's mansion for the past few days.

As for the accusation that I cannot get rid of it, His Majesty the Emperor will decree in a few days that I will be collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I will be escorted to Jinling and beheaded for public display.What Qi Xiang meant was, let me wait for you for two days, catch up with you and say goodbye. "

Listening to He Yan's words, Han Jin's blood froze all over his body. He could understand every word of these words. Why is it so difficult to understand them together?

He came here today to save He Yan, not to hear his farewell, Han Jin grabbed He Yan's wrist forcefully, he could only feel that he was much thinner, but he had no time to take care of it now.

"Heyan, you are collaborating with the enemy and treasoning the country for me. If you die, my life will be exchanged for your life! How do you want me to live with peace of mind!"

He Yan felt that his wrist was about to be crushed, but seeing Han Jin's appearance, he still patted him on the back with the other hand, but Han Jin shook it off with one hand, and only heard him say slowly: " That was just an expedient measure. At that time, I knew that someone in the army wanted you dead, so I had no choice but to ask Xia Mengyu for help. Your life was imminent. I will not be executed immediately for this crime. possibility of death."

"Where is this life you took? Where is it? If you are executed before I come back, you let me..., what can I do?"

He Yan turned and patted Han Jin on the back helplessly, "You are so powerful, so you will come to save me." These words are more ambiguous, although they are more comforting.
