Chapter 298: Anger

Ji Ping, the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Yan, stood on the high terrace of the royal palace, holding tightly to the white jade railing, his veins were exposed. In the distance in front of him, the raging fire was still spreading outwards Behind him, a man in black knelt on the ground, sweating through his heavy clothes. He didn't dare to move. Although Ji Ping was only twenty-five years old and had just ascended the throne not long ago, the man kneeling behind him was already Having followed him for more than ten years, I have a clear understanding of the temperament and temperament of the new king.

This is a person who has gone through hardships and has an extremely tenacious mind. Years of exile have also cultivated the young king's indifferent city and keen political sense, but now, he is really out of anger up.

"Ye Xiang wants to kill Gao Yuan?" He laughed.

"Your Majesty, this is just my subordinate's speculation." The voice of the man in black behind him trembled.

"Ye Xiang wants to kill Gao Yuan!" Ji Ping laughed loudly, a bit sadly, with a ferocious expression on his face. Hearing Ji Ping's night owl-like laughter, the kneeling man in black trembled. Even more powerful.

The ring jingled, and a noble concubine in her early forties came slowly, frowned and glanced at Ji Ping, then turned her head, and said to the man in black on the ground, "Go down!"

The man in black, like Meng Dahe, got up from the ground, bowed his body, took a few steps back, turned around, and quickly disappeared on the terrace.

The lady walked to Ji Ping's side, looked up at the fire in the distance, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid this fire will cause great losses, and I don't know how many people died, how many people went bankrupt, and how many wives were scattered!" "

Ji Ping turned his head and looked at the lady, his expression became calmer, "Mother, they said that Ye Xiang wanted to kill Gao Yuan, do you believe it?"

"I believe it!" The expression on the lady's face did not change at all, and she blurted out without any thought.

"Mother!" Ji Ping looked at the lady in surprise.

The lady turned her head to look at Ji Ping, her face was calm as usual: "Your Majesty, you must believe, you have to believe."

Ji Ping exhaled heavily, and slammed his fist hard on the railing, the strong unwillingness in his eyes could not be erased no matter what.

"This is Jicheng, the capital of the king, and Gao Yuan is General Zhengdong. He is also highly skilled in martial arts. He has dozens of guards under his command, and none of them is a veteran of many battles. To kill such a person is beyond the reach of ordinary people." The lady seemed to be telling a story, "In Jicheng, you can count people like this with your fingers. It's just a few people. But beforehand, there was no rumor or clue. , then it is impossible for one person to do it. Your Majesty, this is a conspiracy."

"Are they so eager to bring down Ye Xiang?" Ji Ping said angrily, "I, Dayan, was about to attack Donghu with all my strength. At this time, it was a time when we were sincerely united and united to the outside world. They actually fought among themselves and wanted to kill me." How can I do what they wish to be overthrown by their ministers!"

The noble concubine showed a slight smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you must fulfill their wishes."

Ji Ping shuddered, and looked at the lady in disbelief.

"When Mr. Ning proposed Gao Yuan to be the general of Zhengdong, I told the king in private that this is not acceptable, but the king didn't listen!" The lady shook her head, "Mr. Ning has bad intentions, I thought Ye Xiang will see through this situation, it's just that the authorities are confused, and Ye Xiang will eventually fall into it."

Ji Ping sighed." This is also my fault, Ye Xiang once mentioned a few words, but I think this is a good thing, firstly, it can improve Ye Xiang's strength, and can truly achieve the tripartite confrontation; secondly, Gao Yuan This person is indeed capable, with him as the striker, and together with Zhang Shouyue, we will be more confident in this battle with Donghu."

"Haste makes waste." The lady said: "How can the Taiwei tolerate someone dividing up his military power, especially Ye Xiang, no matter whether it is Zhou Taiwei or Lord Ning, they are actually very wary of Ye Xiang. If there is another Zhengdong general like Gao Yuan who can surpass the two of them in strength, how can they tolerate it?"

"So I made this game to kill Gao Yuan and blame Ye Xiang!" Ji Ping had a look of resentment on his face. "But people in the world have discerning eyes."

"The eyes of people in the world are not necessarily discerning!" The lady smiled slightly, "Ye Xiang does not believe that this son-in-law has been spread all over the country, which is recognized by everyone. For someone who can turn black into white, and dead into life, Ye Xiang's reputation has been completely ruined this time. Killing two birds with one stone is extremely harmful."

"These people are so bold that they don't take me seriously." Ji Ping said sharply, "If you don't give them some color, they don't know who is the real master of Yan Kingdom."

"Your Majesty!" The lady's voice became louder, "Be sober. Do you want to go to exile for ten years again? This time, there will be no one like Ye Tiannan to help you."

Ji Ping looked at the lady in horror.

"Your Majesty, think about it carefully, what do you have now?" The lady said every single word. "Everything you have now is based on the support of Ye Tiannan, Zhou Yuan, and Ning Zecheng. Now Ye Xiang has collapsed." Now, if you want to deal with Zhou Yuan and Ning Zecheng, you can think about the consequences!"

Ji Ping's eyes turned red, "Mother, what should I do now? Play deaf, blind, or fool?"

The noble lady smiled coldly, "You are not deaf, blind, or stupid. They bully you like this because they see that you are helpless, but they are wrong about one thing, that is, you are still young, but they are about to grow old. Yes." After a pause, the lady continued: "As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You are the king of a country, so what if you wait twenty years?"

"Twenty years?" Ji Ping said dejectedly, "How many twenty years can a human being have? Qin Wulie King used twenty years to build Qin into the world's largest country, but I have to spend twenty years to swallow my anger?"

"King Qin Wulie has the military power. What do you have?" The lady said coldly, "He has Yingteng and Li Xin. Who do you have? Ping'er, these twenty years are for you to discover and cultivate your Yingteng." Teng, your Li Xin, take your time, don't be in a hurry, whoever is in a hurry will lose, during this period, you can only be a bystander, a referee, and not a participant, you can only stand on the winning side forever party."

Ji Ping looked up to the sky and sighed: "Mom, so I'm going to step on Ye Xiang's foot too?"

The lady laughed, "Politics is always like this. But how to do it, there is a lot to be done. You have to express your agreement with Zhou Taiwei and Dr. Ning, and you must Tell them that you are not a fool, and at the same time, let them feel a little restrained and leave a little seed, what should you do?"

Ji Ping thought for a moment, "Go to Ye Xiangxiang, and drive him back to Langya County, but Ye Zhong and Xun Xiu are left behind. Ye Zhong's palace and imperial guards cannot go. With him, my safety is at least Guaranteed. Xun Xiu has a wide range of friends and has achieved great academic achievements. If he stays in Jicheng, he can make contacts for Ye Xiangguang, waiting for the day when he recovers."

"Such an arrangement is excellent!" the lady laughed.

"You've wronged Ye Xiang. Over the past ten years, if it wasn't for his support, how could I be where I am today?" Ji Ping shook his head and said.

"Ye Tiannan is not an idiot. Once your arrangement is made, he will not understand. At this time, he will never add trouble to you to fight this stupid lawsuit. Let him go back to Langya County and calm down. He is too impatient." The lady smiled and said, "In a few years, when he comes back again, he will be able to be the Prime Minister of the country even better."

"It's a pity that Gao Yuan has somehow become a victim!" Ji Ping felt a little regretful, "This is a fierce general!"

"A little county lieutenant, if you die, you should die. What a pity!" The lady waved her hand, "Feng Da, Your Majesty, look, how much dust has fallen on the ground, go back and have a good rest." Let's go, tomorrow is a very busy day!"

"Yes, mother, let's rest earlier!" Ji Ping nodded.

Outside the palace, Ning Zecheng, the imperial historian, got out of the carriage, tidied up his clothes, and strode towards the gate of the palace city.

"Lord Ning, stay a step!" A general of the Imperial City Imperial Army came out from the palace gate, and stopped Ning Zecheng in front of him.

"I want to see the king." Ning Zecheng looked at the other party, "The fire in Jicheng, if it is not handled well, it will cause chaos."

The generals of the Imperial Army were very respectful, but the bodies blocking the road did not move away," Your Majesty knew, and he said, there must be something wrong with the Taiwei and Lord Ning, please let the two adults deal with it by themselves , don’t disturb him to rest.”

Ning Zecheng was stunned, "The king said so?"

"Yes! Your Majesty wants to rest, and he doesn't want anyone to woo you. What's the matter with Mr. Ning? Let's talk about it at the court meeting tomorrow!" The general of the imperial army said with a smile.

Ning Zecheng looked up at the dark palace, and the astonishment flashed across his face.

"That's it, I'll deal with it myself. Let's report it to the king tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty Ning is working hard!" The general of the imperial army smiled and retreated, and the gate of the palace city was slammed shut.

The palace gate was closed, but Ning Zecheng stood in front of the gate for a long while, then turned around, just as he turned around, another carriage came galloping from a distance, it was Taiwei Zhou Yuan's carriage.

After a while, Zhou Yuan was already on his way back home, but there was one more person in the spacious carriage.

"Is Gao Yuan dead?" Ning Zecheng asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know!" Zhou Yuan shook his head, "I haven't got any news yet, but I shouldn't be able to live."

Ning Zecheng was dumbfounded, "Should?"

"This fire is somewhat unexpected!" Zhou Yuan said.

"Taiwei, if Gao Yuan does not die, this plan will fall short." Ning Zecheng said with a frown.

"It's considered to have achieved the goal. To disgrace Ye Tiannan, it's best to get rid of Ye Tiannan. After all, this country of Yan is still the world of the two of us." Zhou Yuan laughed: "Gao Yuan, it's nothing."

Ning Zecheng shook his head, "Tomorrow, Yan Lingwei under my command will focus all our efforts on finding Gao Yuan, and your men should not be idle, this man cannot be kept, it is best to kill him, if he is allowed to slip out of Jicheng, it will inevitably lead to death." Leave a curse behind."

"You and I join forces, even if we kill him tonight, he will not be able to leave Jicheng alive, and he will still be dead after all." Zhou Yuan laughed.

Ning Zecheng nodded and changed the subject, "The king's attitude is a bit weird, he seems to have seen through our arrangement."

"So what if you see through it?" Zhou Yuan sneered, "This time, it also made him understand that in the country of Yan, what he can rely on is not Ye Tiannan, but the two of us." (To be continued
