Xiao Yan frowned tightly, he had never heard of any talismans.
When the previous emperor indulged the East Palace and the family, but secretly suppressed the subordinates of the East Palace, and when his father and the family were weak, he never mentioned that he had military power in his hands.
Even if the East Palace caught fire later and his father died, he had never seen the so-called soldier talisman.
Seeing Xiao Yan frowning, King Cheng only thought that he didn't understand the importance of the talisman, and explained to him in a deep voice:
"Lord Xiao is not a member of the royal family, so he doesn't know, Long Tingwei (Dragon Court Guard) is the Xie family's private army, and the outside world only knows that they obey the emperor's orders, but in fact, they obey the orders of the person holding the talisman, and the Zhen'an army also recognizes the order and does not recognize people."
"That talisman is usually handed over to the new emperor by the previous emperor himself when the person on the throne ascends the throne, so only the person who commands, as well as the generals of Long Tingwei and the Zhen'an army, know what the talisman looks like, and now
Emperor An is in the court, there is no major war, and the northwest has always thought that the talisman is in the hands of Emperor An, and the daily transfer is also ordered by the emperor."
"But once another member of the royal family appears with military talisman in their hands, the more than 200,000 soldiers in the northwest will immediately defect."
Xiao Yan's brows furrowed.
King Cheng said: "The previous emperor has never mentioned this matter to anyone, and the noble families have always thought that they defeated the crown prince. After Xie Tianzhao's (Crown Prince) death, the whereabouts of the soldier talisman are unknown, and the previous emperor forcibly suppressed this matter, and even Xie Tianyong (current emperor) didn't know." ”
"After the death of the previous emperor, only the eunuch he was serving close to knew about this matter, and I don't know how Lu Qingfeng got to know about it from that person, so he kept secretly searching."
At that time, everyone around the prince was killed and injured, but Rong Qian'an (Song Tangning’s grandfather) was the only one who saved his life in that bloodbath.
It's not that the previous emperor didn't want to eliminate the Rong family in the past, but Rong Qian'an has a special identity, and he seems to know the cause of the death of the prince, and after taking the initiative to enter the palace and "talk" with the previous emperor once, he quit the court, gave up his power, and reached a strange "tacit understanding" with the previous emperor .
After the previous emperor weighed it, he did not destroy the Rong family, and Rong Qian'an also quietly guarded the Rong family school, and never set foot in the court for half a step.
Lu Qingfeng also determined that the talisman was in the hands of the Rong family.
King Cheng's eyes flashed when he talked about the talisman: "Lu Qingfeng wants to borrow the power of the noble families, but she doesn't want to be coerced by the noble families, so that the Fourth Prince won’t be controlled everywhere like Emperor An after he ascends the throne, she wants to find the talisman and collect the Northwest Zhen’an Army and Long Tingwei for the Fourth Prince"
"Tang Ning and the Lu family's marriage is also because of this?"
"Yes."
King Cheng said: "When Taifu Rong was seriously ill, Lu Qingfeng sent people to the door several times, intending to send the Fourth Prince and Lu Zhinian to the Rong Academy, but Taifu Rong refused, but he couldn't bear the hands and feet of the Song family. They secretly guided the young Tang Ning to get along with Lu Zhinian, and let Taifu Rong see this several times. ”
"The Lu family coveted the Rong family's name, and Lu Qingfeng persuaded him, so he proposed to let Lu Zhinian and Tang Ning get engaged, but Mrs. Rong naturally refused to allow it, so he refused on the spot."
Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "Then how did the marriage come about?" ”
King Cheng laughed: "Naturally, I did something wrong."
"A few days before Master Rong passed away, I put medicine in Rong Yue's tonic soup, making her tired and weak. When Master Rong died, she could not get up, so I and the Song family were the only ones left by his bed. Master Rong was afraid that Tang Ning would lose her father and be treated harshly by the Song family, so he left a handwritten letter to entrust Tang Ning to his good friend, and left a letter to ask the Song family to pass it on, asking his student Wu Ziji to return to Beijing to inherit the Rong family school so that he could protect Tang Ning."
"Song Hong found someone who was good at depiction, imitated the handwriting of Master Rong in exchange for the relics he left, and this king was present to testify that Master Rong had agreed to the marriage proposal from the Lu family before his death. Rong Yue was extremely sad because of the death of Master Rong, and was seriously ill, and when she got better, Lu Qingfeng had already made a decree to follow Master Rong's 'last wish' to marry Tang Ning and Lu Zhinian."
Although Rong Yue is unwilling, it is a foregone conclusion that she can give marriage.
The Song family, as the elder of Tang Ning's father, agreed, and the young Tang Ning was deliberately guided to "like" Lu Zhinian, so the marriage was decided.
Rong Qian'an never agreed to the marriage of the Lu family.
The so-called marriage contract is a hoax from beginning to end.
For the first time, Xiao Yan felt that there was no lower limit to the extremely evil people in this world, and it was cheaper for them to let the people of the Song family go into exile like that.
This family is damn good!
King Cheng looked at the change in the expression on Xiao Yan's face, and said slowly: "This king knows that Lord Xiao loves Tang Ning, and he also regards her as his own sister, what you have done for her during this time this king also sees it in his eyes, and this king will inform you about the Song family affairs, I don't know if I can ask Lord Xiao for a wish?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyes: "What do you want?"
King Cheng looked back at the messy grass: "This king wants to ask Lord Xiao to help me bury that child and find a good place for him."
"It's this king who is sorry for him, sorry for his mother, he shouldn't be like this."
Xiao Yan was a little silent, thinking that he would mention a few other words, or ask him to avenge him, but he didn't expect him to make this request.
Seeing that King Cheng looked at him fixedly, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would refuse, Xiao Yan didn't feel moved at all, but only felt ridiculous, but he didn't refuse, he only got up with indifferent eyes, and said while walking out.
"The Governor agreed."
When he came out of the prison, Jinyun sleeves hid a thick stack of "confessions" from King Cheng.
Seeing that King Cheng was dragged into the prisoner cart, Jinyun lowered his voice with some curiosity: "Governor, is the fourth prince really not the son of King Cheng?"
Xiao was disgusted with him: "How could this governor know." ”
“？？”
Jinyun was stunned: "But you ...... just now"
"I just said that the Fourth Prince don't look much like him."
There are no ugly people in the royal family, Queen Lu is already very good-looking, otherwise how could she attract King Cheng and Emperor An back then, plus Emperor An and King Cheng are not bad in appearance, and the appearance of the Fourth Prince is naturally not bad, but coincidentally, he is neither like King Cheng nor like Emperor An, but between his eyebrows and eyes he is more like Queen Lu.
Xiao Yan took his hands and looked casual, he didn't lie, the Fourth Prince didn't look like King Cheng, but he didn't say that he looked like Emperor An.
As for King Cheng thinking crookedly, do you blame him?
Jinyun: "......"
Touching the thick stack of "confessions" in his sleeve, Jinyun thought of Prince Cheng's confession of everything he had just said, and the guilt and remorse he felt after his sudden realization, and he reached out and touched his heart.
Forget it, it's not his conscience that is broken anyway.
The Governor doesn't care so it's fine.
……
When King Cheng was beheaded, there were a lot of people watching the execution, and when he was loaded into a prisoner cart and taken to the place of execution, King Cheng looked up at the sky outside with a look on his face, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, under the deliberate chance encounter, she was standing on the stone bridge with a rabbit lantern, and her eyes were full of bright eyes.
The lake was rippling in the moonlight, and in the bustling crowd, he saw her at a glance.
The little girl who had just arrived was wearing a bright red dress, dazzling like the sun falling into the crowd at night, and when she laughed with the sister beside her, her voice was like a yellow bird.
Rong Yue......
King Cheng thought that he would not remember the events of that year, but before he died, the clearest thing in front of him was not Lu Qingfeng, but the person who had spent nearly twenty years with him.
When he was in a trance, he actually saw Rong Yue above the crowd.
Above the restaurant opposite, in the open window, even through the crowd, he still recognized it.
"Yue Niang ......"
King Cheng suddenly became excited, looking fixedly in the direction of that side, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but as soon as he made a sound in his mouth, he was struck the jaw by the executioner, and then dragged to the high platform.
The criminal officer sang King Cheng's crimes, Rong Yue looked at the extremely embarrassed man in the execution ground, watched him being pressed to the ground, opened his mouth wide as if he had thousands of words to say, and looked at this side with guilt in his eyes.
Beside her, Gu Helian subconsciously wanted to reach out to block Rong Yue's eyes.
Rong Yue tilted his head: "What are you doing?"
"What's so good about cutting off heads, bloody, be careful to not have nightmares when you go back......" Gu Helian looked at the high platform viciously as she spoke.
Xie Tianyu, this dog thing, actually wanted to seduce Rong Yue before he died!
Rong Yue didn't know what he was thinking, so he only reached out and grabbed his wrist and pulled down the hand that was blindfolded in front of him: "My biggest nightmare has already happened, what is there to be afraid of?"
She turned her head to look at the execution ground, she always had to see her past stupidity with her own eyes, and she was willing to see him end.
Gu Helian didn't listen to Rong Yue's words at all, he just looked at the wrist that was pulled by Rong Yue and hadn't let go a little distractedly, and his ears turned red a little.
Rong Yue took his hand.
She pulled him, pulled him, pulled him!!
Rong Yue thought about the past in her heart, as if she was going to take advantage of the strength and never let go for a while, and when she looked directly at King Cheng over there, her eyes full of indifference made King Cheng stunned, he looked at the woman who used to love him the most, quietly watched him being pushed onto the high platform of beheading, and watched the hand behind him rise and fall with a knife.
Until the head hit the ground and blood splattered, she was not moved at all.
Rong Yue listened to the exclamations in the crowd and saw the bloodstains, so he let go of his hand: "Let's go."
Gu Helian: Rong Yue pulled him!
"Gu Helian?" Rong Yue turned around: "What are you in a daze?"
Gu Helian grinned: "The weather is so good today."
Rong Yue looked up inexplicably: "Really?"
"Yes! Ask Mu Feng! ”
Mu Feng looked at the bright and worthless appearance of his head of the family with a bright smile, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, he turned his head to look at the dark clouds floating outside the window, and silently brainwashed himself.
This is the head of the family, who gave him monthly money, he saved his life, and from time to time he threw gold at him.
Mu Feng showed eight white teeth, and smiled sincerely: "What the head of the family said is right. ”
You can't go wrong!

I… would probably be less pissed if people threw little bars of gold at me than teacups 😂 like they’d be heavy, but I don’t have to clean cup shards up, and cups can cut… and you can’t buy nice things with broken cups 😂😂
