The happy life of the devil and the devil

He filed a complaint in anger, but he was scolded all over his head and face. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't figure it out anyway.He yelled "Royal Father" angrily and resentfully, but he didn't make the decision for him, but turned his gaze to Ling Yucheng again:

"What do you think of these things?"

Ling Yucheng's face was dark and difficult to understand, and he stood aside with his head down, holding Xiao Shiyi who was obediently snuggling up to him with one hand, and holding the stack of confessions and secret letters with the other, unconsciously moving his thumb back and forth on the paper stroking.Hearing Yuan Shao's question, he raised his head, his eyes were still a little dazed, and the tone of his answer seemed absent-minded, but he was confident:

"Yu Xia's Northern Xinjiang Camp, either died or surrendered last year, lost no less than 500 soldiers and horses in our country. Yu Xia's military system, [-] people are a battalion, and there are at least [-] crossbows in it. [-] soldiers and horses are [-] crossbows Not so many were seized and put into storage on the battlefield...Even if those destroyed on the battlefield were deducted, and those that flowed into the people, those that were hidden and sold by soldiers, and those that were taken away by fleeing defeated soldiers were added together, it would be less than one Thousands, five hundred are always available."

So what if there was a mark of the Northern Xinjiang camp on the gun that assassinated the crown prince?After such a big battle, the Northern Xinjiang camp still has little ordnance.

Tube?Can't control it.Although private possession of gunpowder has always been prohibited, the military system in Beiliang is helpless. Except for a few professional troops supported by the state, soldiers go to the battlefield, from horses to armor to weapons and dry food. □□Soldiers who have won battles are not allowed to take such good things. Wouldn't that be a disaster?

As for why this thing came out in the capital... Ling Yucheng was never in charge of the defense of the capital, and he was probably to blame for the things that were transported into the city not long ago.

As soon as a few numbers were reported lightly, the crown prince was immediately speechless.Well, it’s really not Ling Yucheng’s fault... "Then what about these secret letters!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Yucheng immediately shut his mouth tightly, with "I'm a pig if I tell you one more word" clearly written on his face.Yuan Shao sighed—he found that today he sighed more than the sum of the past few years—just about to open his mouth to mediate, his good son was already relentless, and he followed up and asked:

"Why, dare not say it?"

Ling Yucheng simply took two steps back.Yuan Shao raised his hand, but it was empty. Ling Yucheng already withdrew his hand, and knelt down in front of him upright:

"Your Majesty, please send someone to search Jinshentang and Xuanjiaweijun Mansion. If there are letters between me and Yu Xia, I am willing to accept the crime."

"You won't burn the letter early when you receive it—"

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. I cannot be charged with colluding with the enemy and plotting to assassinate the crown prince!"

Yuan Shao's head immediately hurt.Ling Yucheng was obviously very angry, that's why he seemed to be submissive, but actually forced him so forcefully.However, his own prince is still talking about adding fuel to the flames... Do you two want to have such a bright hardtop...

The little prince has been standing beside Ling Yucheng, seeing his master kneeling down, he also ran over, and knelt down behind Ling Yucheng in a similar manner, looking up at this and then at that , with a half-understanding look on his face, he bit his lip and dared not speak.Seeing the young boy's cute and cute appearance, Yuan Shao couldn't get angry no matter how angry he was, so he had to forcefully pull Ling Yucheng up, and then took the little guy's tender little hand and stuffed it into his palm.

"Okay, I know what's going on with you." As he said, he pressed Ling Yucheng's shoulder hard, pushed him and turned to the outside: "You take Lang'er out first!"

Holding the little disciple's hand, Ling Yucheng's tense face softened a little, bowed his head and bowed to leave.Yuan Shao waited until he disappeared by the door holding Xiao Shiyi's figure, then leaned back on the throne again, pointed to the prince who was standing in front of him puffing up, propped his forehead and let out a long sigh:

"Let me tell you what's good about you!"

"Father!"

...Forget it, boys of this age, the more forcefully they press, the more unconvinced they become.Yuan Shao suppressed his anger, and tried to explain to him as kindly as possible:

"Why, do you think the Queen did what you were assassinated?"

"It's not him, who else!"

"At that time, I didn't know if I was alive or dead outside. If you died, what good would he do? Do you think that the clans and nobles in the whole dynasty are all made of mud and paper, so you can watch him seek to usurp the throne?"

"He's already killed his servants, so what are you afraid of if he kills a few more?"

"As far as the [-] soldiers and horses in the capital are concerned, how many can he kill? Two thousand? Three thousand? He can't finish killing the Jinwu Guards alone, as well as the Habayashi Guards, Hussar Guards, and the guards of the palaces of princes and princes. Private soldiers... If he has the heart, at least he will transfer all the Xuanjia Guards back to his side, but I have checked, and the Xuanjia Guards' garrison in Qingzhou has never left the territory!"

"But……"

"Or, do you think that if he kills you, he can lead his troops back to Yu Xia as said in the letter you found? Yu Xia can also allow him to live?"

"..."

"What good is killing you for him? Apart from making him die faster? Do you think he is a fool? Or do you think he hates you so much that he would rather die than die with you? Or you Do you think that if he kills you, he still has other ways to survive?"

"My son..." The prince had already been told to lower his head gradually, but when he heard this sentence, his heart suddenly moved.The fear that had been suppressed in his heart quickly flooded up, and before he could figure it out, he blurted out:

"Why is there no way out? He still has Little Eleven!"

Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment before trying to understand what the prince was talking about.As soon as I realized it, the first thing I felt was actually funny.A person like Ling Yucheng, told him to hold Xiao Shiyi to ascend the throne?He would rather wipe his own neck than refuse!

It was this bit of humor that made the anger that followed immediately faded a bit. The original outburst of rage had turned into a faint blame when he said it:

"Do you know what you're talking about? That's your brother!"

"Father!"

"What are you thinking about! You are a prince, you don't know how to cherish the world, you don't know how to love your younger brother, and you worry about these shadowless things every day!"

"My son doesn't dare!"

"Obviously knowing that there was a lot of chaos outside the palace during the solar eclipse, you don't understand if the son of a daughter can't sit down? You have to run around outside, and you don't know how to go back to recuperate if you get injured, and even brought a group of officials to trespass on Zhaoxin Palace? Jian Guo I personally handed over the power to Ling Yucheng, why did you bring people into the palace? - I am not dead yet!"

"Father, calm down!" No matter how bold the crown prince is, he will not be able to bear such a reprimand. His knees softened, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "I will never dare to have such a heart!"

After this stormy reprimand, the prince was in a daze when he left, and Yuan Shao's idea of ​​persuading his son and asking him to apologize to Ling Yucheng to ease the relationship was completely ruined.Seeing himself as an adult heir who even had children staggered away, Yuan Shao sat alone in the main hall for a long time before getting up and pushing open the door of the study.

It was quiet in the study room, Xiaoshi was not in the room, only Ling Yucheng stood upright in front of the table, holding a pen in one hand and pressing the corner of the paper with the other.On the right-hand side, a rhinoceros moon-watching inkstone is full of inkstones, and on the several large sheets of rice paper spread by the table, the pens are full of handwriting.Hearing the sound of the door, he turned his head to meet Yuan Shao's gaze, then put down his pen holder, bowed slightly and saluted.

"His Majesty."

"Where's Langer? Sent him away?

"Lang'er still has homework in the afternoon, I asked him to rest for a while, and he will get up soon." Yuan Shao didn't mention the dispute in the main hall just now, so Ling Yucheng just pretended to be confused, "Your Majesty wants to see him?"

"Let him sleep. It's not easy to work so hard at such a young age." Yuan Shao approached while talking, "What are you writing?"

"Write what you just saw."

Needless to say, Yuan Shao also read it clearly, the fine and dense small script was the secret letter presented by the crown prince just now, and Ling Yucheng took it out of his hand to read.So it turns out, this guy is out of old habit again, he will copy and write whatever is on his mind...

Yuan Shao sighed and brushed away the writing paper, patted the back of Ling Yucheng's hand, and said in a slow voice:

"Your handwriting has changed in recent years, I know that."

With just this sentence, Ling Yucheng's shoulders trembled slightly, and the frost in his eyes suddenly showed signs of melting.His eyes followed the pages of paper that Yuan Shao had turned over, and when he landed on a certain point, he suddenly condensed, and sighed softly:

"He... still calls me 'Wenzel'."

There was a sigh in the voice, and a deep hatred in the bone. Yuan Shao frowned, and immediately raised his head, just in time to see Ling Yucheng's fine white teeth biting his lower lip, his jaw stretched into a sharp line, and he looked down at the paper. If the person who wrote the secret letter stood in front of him, he would be torn to pieces immediately:

"King Duan?"

"……Yes."

He clearly knew that those secret letters were not written by Jing Hui—thousands of miles away from Yuyang to the Northern Liang Emperor’s Capital, and it was too late for him to write letters and plan actions after learning of Yuan Shao’s accident, but the deep hatred still churned in his heart Incessantly, almost roaring out of his chest.

In particular, some details in the letter that only the two of them knew, further confirmed the man's deliberate deliberation.

——How did the person who was regarded as the lord by him in his youth and youth for more than ten years plan and plan with all his heart, using every bit of past friendship between them as a sharp weapon, just wanting to Take his life?

Moreover, it's not for the country, but just to increase the winning chips for myself in the battle for the heirloom...

Even now, just thinking of the word "Wen Ze" makes him feel sick.

"What do you want?"

"I'm just thinking... If these things are obtained by someone with a heart, it will be very interesting..."

It turned out that Ling Yucheng was planning these things when he was bored in the study.Yuan Shao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.It's good to let him vent his anger on this. It's better to trouble the enemy than to trouble the prince... Thinking of this, his voice softened. He picked up what Ling Yucheng had just written for a closer look with one hand, and held it with the other hand. With the palm of his hand, he casually comforted:

"I have wronged you. - I have already made it clear to the prince, and he also knows that you did not do it. The child was just frightened and furious at the moment of life and death, and he was confused for a while. Just figure it out - don't overdo it. Compete with him."

Yuan Shao thought that he had said these words quite euphemistically, and he expected that even if Ling Yucheng was very angry, he would drop nine points after hearing this.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a strong force came from the hand, and the whole arm was thrown away heavily:

"Your Majesty, your crown prince—he wants your life!"

The author has something to say: It’s a pity that I couldn’t get up at all when I smoked jj last night...

"Okay, I know what's going on with you." As he said, he pressed Ling Yucheng's shoulder hard, pushed him and turned to the outside: "You take Lang'er out first!"

(Hey, stop making noise, it scares the child...)
