The news that Beiyan's envoy had an accident in Nanjing spread quickly.

The emperor also summoned him at this time as Yan Muhan expected.

Since he had anticipated this, he was already prepared.

Facing the emperor's anger, he asked the people behind to present the things he had prepared earlier.

After the emperor read it, he threw the bamboo slips to the ground angrily, "You bastard! Shuzi! You did such an outrageous thing!"

His servant, Quan Hai, looked at Mr. Shoufu, who was standing upright, and stooped to pick up the bamboo slips without daring to breathe.

"This Beiyan is really deceiving people too much! On the surface, she is asking for peace, but secretly she is playing dirty tricks!"

The deeds on the bamboo slips are simply frenzied and in vain.

Those people dared to kidnap the people of Nanjing to test medicine and do experiments.

It is not known how many people were killed.

And those people are fatherless, motherless, childless, even if they disappear suddenly, no one will find it strange.

But after all, they are the people of Nanjing, if it is spread, this kind of matter will not be dealt with strictly, and where will the face of their Nanjing royal family be put.

Not only for the sake of face, but this kind of thing itself is a matter of nature. If it is not severely punished, it will be unimaginable if someone follows suit in the future.

The emperor looked at the courtier he had always trusted in front of him, "Why didn't Ai Qing report to me earlier on such an important matter?"

Yan Muhan lowered his eyes slightly, his expression calm and indifferent.

"Your Majesty felt that the envoys of Beiyan were a bit strange. At first, they were just suspicious, but because there was no evidence, Beiyan and Nanjing have a friendship. The friendship between the two countries will save the people of the two places from the suffering of war. If your majesty does not know This matter, my investigation revealed that it means that I acted recklessly, and punishing only one of them will not affect the diplomatic relationship between the two countries, and has nothing to do with Nanjing or Your Majesty."

The emperor was speechless.

"Aiqing has worked hard."

The emperor frowned, "However, why does Ai Qing think Beiyan's envoys are weird?"

"Because, I always have a strange sense of familiarity with the counselors brought by the Fourth Prince of Beiyan, Ying Zhan."

"Oh?"

"He is very much like the elder brother of the minister."

The emperor's face changed, "You mean, your elder brother who colluded with the remnants of the Southern Kingdom is actually not dead."

Yan Muhan said, "At first, I couldn't be sure, so I investigated secretly."

The emperor said coldly, "Your elder brother is a malleable talent. I know him. He has written several articles that are famous all over the world. I have also seen that his talent is not inferior to yours. It's just that he is not in good health and has no chance for scientific research. I didn't expect such a smart person to not take the right path! Do these things that are outrageous!"

He shook his head, "Except for you, there is really no one in your Yan family who is good."

Yan Muhan lowered his head.

The emperor sighed, "I have wronged you all these years, but fortunately you still have a younger brother, so you can count on keeping a relative by your side."

Hearing the words, Yan Muhan's expression remained unchanged, he suppressed the ridicule and sarcasm in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is generous."

The Emperor looked at him as if looking through him.

"You have put so much effort into Nanjing, I will definitely not treat you badly, but, Shoufu, you are not young now, and you don't have a caring person around you, which is not good."

The emperor said, "At the beginning, the princess of Beiyan was obviously interested in you, but at first I thought that the marriage contract between the two countries must be cautious, but I didn't expect that the princess would have such a thing later, at an ordinary age, she just went away like this , is also a pity."

Having said that, the emperor raised his forehead.

"And my Xiaojiu, she was interested in you and begged me several times to let me marry you, but it was not convenient for you to get married at the beginning, so the matter was put on hold for now, who would have thought that she would suddenly become that kind of girl?" appearance."

The emperor also hadn't seen Xiao Yi for a long time.

One is that I can't bear it, and the other is that I am upset seeing her crazy appearance.

Xiao Yi was spoiled by Jean, and she behaved flamboyantly on weekdays. More than a year ago, she suddenly told him that she often had palpitations and dreamy dreams.

After that, his temper became more and more eccentric, and he even talked nonsense in his mouth. Up to now, he hasn't said a few sober words in a whole year.

Yan Muhan naturally thought of Xiao Yi too.

A cold smile flashed across his eyes, "How is the princess?"

The emperor didn't realize it, "I sent her to Huangjue Temple, I hope she can cultivate her body well there, and when she improves her temperament, I will bring her back and find a good family for her to marry."

The emperor shook his head, "One by one, it's not worrying, and the second child is really daring, I think he is my own son, even if he intends to rebel, he spared his life I never thought that he would dare to run away privately to contact those remnants of the Sheng family who have not been wiped out!"

"I believed him so that I let him go to Qing County for disaster relief, exercise his mind, and also give him a good reputation. I never thought that those useless things would completely embarrass me."

Yan Muhan said casually, "Your Majesty's benevolence is something that the Second Prince does not cherish."

"If each of them can have the heart of loving Qing, I will have no regrets."

Yan Muhan said, "Princes are like dragons and phoenixes among them, and their ministers are poor in virtue and talent, so they dare not compare."

The emperor looked at him with a helpless expression, "It's just that the envoy of Beiyan, it's best to leave it to me to deal with it, but now it's a bit tricky."

Yan Muhan said, "I have committed a crime. That day in the restaurant, he invited my minister to meet, but it was a grand banquet. The matter is urgent and I have no other choice. Your Majesty, please punish me."

From the first time the emperor saw him, he was like this, neither flattered nor humiliated, neither humble nor overbearing.

For decades, nothing has changed.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Even so, they were unrighteous first, just kill them, they are the ones who deserve to die, now these things are here, and there will be testimonies from the people they held hostage, even if Beiyan sends someone again , Nanjing is also reasonable."

"You have done a good job in this matter, and it can be regarded as once again getting rid of a serious problem in my heart. Naturally, I will not punish you."

Yan Muhan said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion."

The emperor looked at him from his teens to the present, and it was not without affection.

"Although you are dedicated to serving the country, you should also care about your own private affairs. At this age, it's fine if you don't have a wife in your family, and you don't even have a concubine or a housemate. It's a bit unreasonable to be true. If you don't want to marry a wife for the time being, In the past few days, I will send some good ones to you."

"Thank you Your Majesty, don't bother. It's not that Yan Qisheng didn't do this before. It's just that the women in the minister's room died violently for no reason. Now the minister has stopped thinking about it. As for taking a wife, the minister will meet when it is appropriate."

The emperor looked into his eyes, but he didn't know that there was a beast staring at him all the time, ready to take his life.

I have been waiting for more than ten years.

And in Yan Muhan's plan, the distance to that day is getting faster and faster.

The emperor was dumbfounded, "You, why are you always so stubborn on this matter?"

Yan Muhan said calmly, "It's my mother's last wish."

The emperor seldom heard him talk about his mother. After a while, he said with some doubts, "Oh?"

He bent his lips, "Mother always said that she was not blessed to be united with her sweetheart forever, to grow old forever, and had no choice but to commit herself to a ruthless person. I hope that I will be different from her."

The emperor seemed a little surprised, "Your mother's sweetheart is not your father?"

Yan Muhan deliberately made his tone reveal a bit of regret, "It shouldn't be, but it's just a pity, until she died of illness, I didn't know who my mother missed."
