Chapter 52
A few hours ago, Yu Mansion.
Looking at You Liang's meaningful eyes, Yu Qin remained silent for a long time.
You Liang could naturally see the man's surprise and shock when he heard these words.
Everyone thought that Yu Changen followed the former prince and committed suicide in prison to show his innocence.
However, the truth is far crueler than the rumors. Yu Changen, a loyal minister, was tortured to death by others. Before his death, he was so thin that there was only a handful of bones left, with many scars and no good flesh.
"When your grandfather died, you were in jail and couldn't even collect his body." You Liang looked at Yu Qin's increasingly rapid breathing, and his voice became deeper: "By the time you came out, he had already been buried, and this matter was also Under the cover-up, no one knew about it. "
The person who interrogated Duke Yu was none other than King Wu."
Yu Qin closed his eyes in embarrassment, holding the quilt in his hand, almost tearing the fabric. He didn't
know how long it took before he slowly opened his eyes. The red eyes were a little scary: "Why did you choose to tell me at this time?"
You Liang likes to talk to smart people, although the person in front of him is not as good as he expected. Blinded by anger, he thought Yu Qin would not refuse his proposal.
"The late emperor was seriously ill and Empress Jiang had no heirs. The prince did not like Jiang Dang. If he was really asked to succeed, Jiang Dang would be severely hit at that time." You Liang said slowly.
"After the former prince took charge of the government, he issued several new policies, which have already touched the interests of nobles and noble families. People in the court have been grudges for a long time, so much so that after the rebellion, even if everyone knew that there must be something wrong with it , but no one said anything."
"When the prince tried to implement the clearing of land, it was naturally a good thing, but why has no majesty succeeded since the founding of the country? It's not that they didn't want to, but the resistance to implementing this policy was unprecedentedly huge."
These were all things Yu Qin knew, but this time, he did not interrupt You Liang and just allowed him to continue talking.
"No force from any party is willing to let the prince ascend the throne. You also understand that the real enemy is not just one person."
The fire at the city gate affected Chiyu, and the Yu family lost simply because they were on the wrong team.
"It's not just the Queen Mother, it's the nobles behind the Queen Mother. It's not Mr. Ge, it's the family behind Mr. Ge. It's not even the King of Wu. The King of Wu is just the tiger and leopard behind the wolf."
"Only you, you have to How do you seek revenge, and how do you cut off this cancer that is entrenched in the entire Jin Dynasty?" You Liang said seriously.
"Is it possible to rely on you?" Yu Qin said sarcastically.
You Liang took a breath and pushed a box in front of Yu Qin: "So, this is our meeting gift for you."
Yu Qin opened the box and found a human skin mask inside. He looked at You Liang: "This What do you mean?"
You Liang raised his lips and said, "The king of Wu has been deposed and is now an outcast. You can kill him to avenge your grandfather."
"You want me to murder the prince?" Yu Qin closed the box. .
You Liang was not afraid of his rejection: "If you are not willing to take even this risk, just because you are the grandson of Duke Yu and the current commander of the Jinyi Guards, you are not qualified to join the game."
Yu Qin held the box in his hand and was silent for a long time.
You Liang said again: "You only have a few hours to think about it. There is no one in the prison tonight to watch over King Wu. That is the best time."
Yu Qin pressed the prosperous pattern on the box with his fingertips: "You guys If you want me to take risks, you need to tell me what your trump card is."
He looked at You Liang indifferently, and the golden knife in the quilt was slowly unsheathed. If the other party couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, he would. Let people stay in this Yu Mansion and have no way of getting in or out.
You Liang naturally felt the tense murderous intent in the air. There was no tension on his face and he remained calm: "The King of Wu said in prison that he wanted to avenge the former prince, so he wanted to kill the empress dowager who caused trouble in the court, and punished those who conspired to usurp the throne. "
I don't agree with the idea of avenging the prince, but he is right in saying that he is a coward who has usurped the throne." You Liang said word by word, "There is someone else who really deserves to be on the throne." "
...
Yan Yunhe waved away Yu Qin's golden sword. He looked at Yu Qin solemnly and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't let you do such a stupid thing. If you want to kill King Wu, you must kill him first. Kill me!"
Yu Qin tightened his grip and said, "You think I don't dare?"
Yan Yunhe actually smiled. In the flickering candlelight in the prison, this smile made people feel sad: "I know you dare."
As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in Yu Qin's hand trembled slightly.
It's just that the amplitude is too small and no one notices it.
When the King of Wu behind him saw someone stopping him, he immediately shouted loudly: "This righteous man, please kill this offender quickly. When I get out, you will be rewarded heavily."
Yan Yunhe said without looking back: "Shut up! "
Yu Qin raised his sword and said, "Don't interfere with my business."
Yan Yunhe also raised his soft sword and said, "What if I insist on it?"
They met each other in the silent prison, and the atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out. Why did Yan Yun think that a fierce battle with Yu Qin was inevitable, but Yu Qin suddenly stopped.
The golden sword crashed into the scabbard, Yu Qin took a deep look at Yan Yunhe, turned around and left.
As soon as they left, Yan Yunhe was surprised to find that he was covered in cold sweat. It wasn't until Yu Qin's back disappeared into the darkness that he let out a long breath.
Yan Yun was not afraid that King Wu would die, but he was afraid that Yu Qin would do something wrong. Besides, what did King Wu do to make Yu Qin lose control like this?
The King of Wu behind him suddenly shouted loudly: "Here comes someone! Someone comes here!"
Before he could finish shouting, the soft sword crossed the fence and put it on King Wu's neck: "I told you, shut up! I'll kill you today." I have completely forgotten everything I saw in the evening."
King Wu raised his hands, pitying his noble prince for being in such a predicament. He looked at Yan Yunhe's face carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Aren't you Hanzheng's disciple?"
Qi Shaolian, whose courtesy name is Hanzheng. Although I had always known that Master and King Wu had an old relationship, I never expected that King Wu would recognize who he was.
King Wu carefully moved his neck away from the sword: "Did Han Zheng send you to rescue me?"
Yan Yun retracted the sword smoothly: "King Wu, you are overthinking. The master is far away at the border. What? You can come back in time, and I’m not saving you.”
It’s that person he wants to save.
Yan Yun stepped out of the prison, called the soldiers who were hiding somewhere, and ordered them to guard them closely and not to be lazy.
Just after taking a few steps, Yan Yunhe suddenly stopped and called the soldiers where he was, and they all went in to look at King Wu.
Just when everyone was confused, Yan Yunhe said: "I don't care who you are, if anything happens to King Wu, none of you can escape!"
King Wu responded from the side: "That's right, give it to me quickly. Water!"
The soldiers guarding the Tianlao looked at each other. One of them must be the small leader. After stepping out, he cupped his hands and said to Yan Yunhe: "My lord, but the command from above..."
Yan Yunhe said impatiently: "Do as he said. If you have anything to do, I will take care of it." Even
if Emperor Cheng Jing wanted to kill King Wu, he would not let him starve to death. This order given means more torture.
Yan Yunhe wondered in confusion, could it be that Emperor Cheng Jing had guessed that someone would solve King Wu's problem for him?
Did Yu Qin come here to follow the Queen Mother's arrangements?
No, if the Queen Mother wanted to deal with King Wu, she didn't have to wait until now, let alone go to Emperor Cheng Jing to cause trouble.
Was it because of King Wu's confession that the Queen Mother changed her mind?
Although he didn't want to care about this matter, he was afraid that Yu Qin would only leave temporarily, and after he left, he would attack again, and no one could stop him at that time.
But now that he is interfering in this matter, it will inevitably make Emperor Cheng Jing suspicious whether his meddling is because of Qi Shaolian's relationship.
After coming out of the prison, Yan Yunhe entered the palace again.
But this time, he failed to see His Majesty.
He knelt outside the Palace of Qianqing. Eunuch Yan was wearing a thick cloak and holding sleeves in his hands. He walked in front of Yan Yunhe, bent down and whispered softly: "Master Yan, your Majesty has rested."
Yan Yunhe never said anything. When he got up, Eunuch Yan didn't try to persuade him. After that, he entered the hall again.
The heavy door slowly closed. Yan Yunhe looked at the bright light pouring out of it and knew that Emperor Cheng Jing had not rested and was angry.
I'm angry at him for making his own decisions, angry at him for acting recklessly in prison and refuting His Majesty's face.
Yan Yunhe knew in his heart that Emperor Cheng Jing would not see him easily, but he could not leave no matter what.
In the late winter night, the cold wind is biting. The winter solstice has just passed and the Spring Festival is coming soon, which is the coldest time.
Yanyun He is physically strong, but has many old ailments, the most hidden injuries of which he cannot stand the cold wind.
By the time he knelt until midnight, his knees had lost all feeling, but Yan Yunhe was still kneeling upright in the courtyard.
Everyone in the palace who came and went secretly looked at him. That feeling was very familiar to Yan Yunhe. He had knelt down on such a winter night before.
But not in the palace, but in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
Eight years ago, he knelt outside his father's door all night. Mrs. Yan was worried and crying beside him, and she couldn't help him up no matter how hard she tried.
Finally, she hit him on the shoulder with heartache and cried: "Are you going to be so angry as a mother? Get up quickly!"
The door was suddenly opened, and Marquis Yong'an walked out.
Although he was in his prime at that time, there were already a few strands of white hair on his temples. Marquis Yong'an seemed to have aged a lot overnight. He pointed at Yan Yunhe with trembling fingers: "If you want to die, just find a rope." Hang yourself, don't drag down the whole family!"
Yan Yunhe has been a martial arts student since he was a child, but kneeling for so long is a bit difficult for him.
Young and still naive, he looked at Marquis Yong'an: "Dad, please, you also know, Yu..."
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard on the face. The slap was extremely powerful. Jiang Yanyunhe was beaten until his ears were buzzing.
Amidst the huge tinnitus, he saw the shocked and angry face of Marquis Yong'an: "Shut up! How many times do you want me to say it! We can't control this matter, and it's not your responsibility!"
"Don't think that everyone outside is saying this . " Sir , you really take yourself seriously!"
"Come here, break his legs and lock him up!"
"I don't believe it, he can still run to the prison with his legs broken!"
He struggled to hold himself up, his cheeks swelled rapidly, but he still looked at Marquis Yong'an stubbornly.
Mrs. Yan was crying helplessly on the sidelines, but did not stop her husband's words.
Because she knew that her husband was right.
Marquis Yong'an saw that his subordinates were hesitant to take action with the stick, so he grabbed it and swung it at Yanyunhe's leg with all his strength amidst everyone's exclamations.
The sound of broken bones sounded clearly, and the stick in Marquis Yong'an's hand was broken in half. He looked at Yan Yunhe who was holding on the ground due to the severe pain, trying not to let himself fall.
He tremblingly threw away the stick in his hand, closed his eyes and said, "Give me an order to lock up the prince. No one is allowed to call the doctor, and no one can go in to see him."
