Destiny of crossing

Joan House.

Singing and dancing to promote peace, drinking wine and cups interlaced, the surface seems to be calm and joyful.

The Jin army defeated the Qin State with a mere 8 troops and a million troops. It should indeed be celebrated.

Therefore, for this feast, the most luxurious Qionglou in the imperial palace was selected to honor the meritorious officials and generals, and all the generals and ministers were absent, except that the governor Xie Xuanxie was missing.

Sima Yao sat high on the Golden Dragon Throne, with a kind and friendly face on his face, but dark waves were turbulent in his heart.

After conferring all the meritorious officials and generals one by one, Sima Yao and the ministers drank and enjoyed the dance together. After drinking too much, the ministers lost their former restraint and chatted and laughed happily. Some bold generals even had the courage to joke with the emperor. .

Of course, there are also timid and old-fashioned people who just stay in their seats to eat and drink.

For this kind of palace banquet, the ministers usually have a table for each person, and the dishes are roughly the same, the difference is that there is a kind of poison in Xie An's wine and dishes.

Sima Yao watched secretly as Xie An ate the poisonous food and drink while coping. Although it was not much, it was enough to achieve the goal, and an imperceptible smile could not help but overflow from the corner of his mouth.

Xie Lang, who was honestly sitting in the corner of Qionglou, caught the sly and sinister smile on Sima Yao's mouth by chance, and his heart trembled.

Speaking of such a day and such an atmosphere, how could Xie Lang not show off his big white teeth and flatter the emperor in front of the emperor, but he was hiding in the corner alone, eating and drinking in a proper manner, and he wanted to hide himself ?

The reason!

Xie Lang hid Pei Ran privately and committed the crime of covering up criminals and deceiving the emperor, but the emperor not only did not deal with him, but even rewarded him.

Xie Lang only attributed it to the emperor probably being forgetful, in order not to let the emperor remember this matter, he had to hide if he could.

So at this moment, he would rather give up the good opportunity to curry favor with the emperor and be a transparent person.

Don't you know, how can Sima Yao, who has clear love and hate, forget this matter?However, this person has his own use.

In line with the principle of universal celebration, the emperor cannot leave the following banquet, singing and dancing, otherwise the banquet will be dull and dull.

Therefore, when Sima Yao returned to the palace after the banquet, it was already midnight.

Eunuch Huaide stood by the bed, and greeted the emperor when he came back: "Your Majesty, Mr. Pei woke up once today, and now he is asleep."

Sima Yao listened, a hanging heart finally let go.

He sat on the bed and looked at Pei Ran's peaceful sleeping face: "Have you eaten?"

"After drinking some bird's nest porridge, my complexion has improved."

Sima Yao nodded, with a touch of tenderness and affection in his eyes.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Huaide hesitated to speak, but he still reported to Sima Yao every detail of the Empress' visit to Shou'an Palace today.

Sima Yao almost kicked the stool over after hearing this: "What a queen, I will abolish her now, Huaide, draw up an order for me to abolish the title of Empress Xie, and move out of Chaoyang Palace immediately."

"But - Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing the empress is of great importance, should we still consider it in the long term?"

"No need." He said firmly.

At the same time, ten miles away from Beijing, Jin Feishui was stationed.

Xie Xuan's barracks was brightly lit, Xie Xuan was dressed in armor, his face was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest sleepiness.

Apart from him, there are several other soldiers in the battalion at the moment, including two of his three major generals.

"Captain, the Second Young Master is being escorted into the capital in the name of a traitor, and all the ministers have written a letter requesting that he be executed. This is an urgent matter. What is the plan of the Commander now?"

The man who spoke was dressed in silver armor, tall and thin, with a long face and thick eyebrows. He was not handsome but extremely resolute, and his words were sonorous and forceful.

This person is one of Xie Xuan's three young generals, Tie Xuanfeng Zhao Qingyun, and the second son he refers to is Xie Xuan's godbrother Pei Ran.

Over the years, although Xie Xuan and Pei Ran were not together, Xie Xuan often mentioned him and praised him in front of the soldiers.

From this, everyone in the battalion knew that their general had such a younger brother, who was loved and valued by the general. Therefore, all the soldiers respected the rumored younger brother of the general as the second son.

The other is not too tall, and the major general Qi Xi with a baby face shouted: "Huh! Everyone knows that the battle of Feishui was thanks to our second son's formation on Bagong Mountain. Xiongshi, how can it be so easy? Now they want to punish our second son? They don't even think about it, if it weren't for our second son, their old bastards would have been ruined long ago, and their lives would be in danger."

"Yes, yes," echoed the others.

"Why don't we go to Beijing to read a book for the second son."

All the officers and men discussed in succession.

Xie Xuan didn't say a word, as if he was waiting for something.

After a while, a messenger came to report: "Captain, this is a letter from the palace sent by flying pigeons."

Xie Xuan took the letter and quickly tore open the envelope.

The one above: Brother-in-law, Pei Ran is now being imprisoned in Shouan Palace by my imperial brother. In order to imprison him, the imperial brother cut off Pei Ran's tendons with his own hands...

There was a sudden bang in Xie Xuan's head, his heart ached like twisting, and he cried out: "Ran'er."

Concentrated and hurriedly looked down: Pei Ran was extremely weak at the moment due to excessive bleeding.But now, I only want to get out of my imperial brother's control. After thinking about it, only my brother-in-law can rescue Pei Ran. If my brother-in-law agrees, Xunyang will definitely cooperate with all my strength.

Xie Xuan gripped the letter paper tightly, and then opened the bottom one.

The blood-red four big characters written in blood suddenly caught Xie Xuan's eyes: Xuan, take me away.
