Qifeng Mansion, Jingbian City.

Emperor Yongping didn't know that Shen Wansheng, who was sent to the camp of sinners by him, had been rescued.

For him, Shen Wansheng was just a small character. After seeing it and passing it away, it becomes an inconspicuous little person in the corner of memory, and it may be completely forgotten at some point.

As for the team of guards who escorted Shen Wansheng to the sinner's camp, no one paid any attention.

The chaotic personal expedition seems to be a strong general, but in fact, it is gold and jade, and it is defeated.

If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yongping cautiously wanted to finish his work in one battle, and wanted to check the situation of Beiman in Longxi Mansion before dispatching troops, Emperor Yongping would have suffered the most tragic defeat in history.

Duke Yong'an and Duke Changle were in the same military camp. Although both of them had not been in battle for a long time, they were somewhat ambitious and talented. However, the two still saw the shortcomings of the army.

The two did not give advice, but secretly rectified and restrained the troops and horses under their command.

What happened to Emperor Yongping, they didn't really care.

If Emperor Yongping is defeated, then their chance will come.

Of course, neither Yongan Gong nor Changle Gong wanted to rebel. They just wanted to take advantage of the great defeat of Emperor Yongping to have a greater right to speak in the court, and let the Xu family, a family of three princes, continue to lead Xungui and be the first family of honor in the Tang Dynasty.

Father Lan is a sensible person, but this sensible person is also a stubborn person.

He saw all kinds of deficiencies, but also did not have the slightest idea of ​​talking to Emperor Yongping. He is just a eunuch, and his servants are not allowed to do politics. This is the ancestral system set by the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Eunuch Lan got 100% trust from Emperor Yongping, but he knew that the reason why he got this trust was because he followed the ancestral system.

Today, he can give advice to Emperor Yongping, of course, it is possible to save this impending crisis.

But after what happened today, he is no longer pure.

A eunuch who is no longer pure, his position in the emperor's heart naturally cannot continue to be pure.

Even if this possibility is slim, Eunuch Lan doesn't want to go out of his way.

Of course, many nobles and generals who came with the army also discovered this false and powerful truth. However, without any exception, everyone kept silent, secretly only taking care of their own one-third of an acre.

The result of this is that each of the personal expedition camps have their own calculations and their own forces.

And those soldiers who are no longer in the sphere of influence of all parties are in a state of stocking chaos.

Emperor Yongping is waiting for the military intelligence report from Longxi Mansion, and he will lead the army to expedition in person as long as the opportunity is right.

"Eunuch Lan, you said, can I compare the achievements of Ding Beiman in this battle to that of Emperor Taizu?"

Emperor Yongping, who feels good about himself, is still dreaming at this moment.

Eunuch Lan wanted to remind Emperor Yongping very much, but due to the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu and his inner persistence, he could only stand aside with a blank expression.

"Eunuch Lan, do you think I still can't compare to Emperor Taizu?"

Emperor Yongping is now more or less observant, in order to figure out what Eunuch Lan is thinking.

"Holy!"

Eunuch Lan slowly knelt down in front of Emperor Yongping, "This servant has something to say, but I don't want to spit it out. However, after saying these words, the servant can no longer stay by your side!"

Emperor Yongping was complacent, and when he saw Eunuch Lan's move, he couldn't help frowning and was stunned on the spot.

He is indeed not some magnificent emperor, but he is not a fool either.

Eunuch Lan's attitude clearly means that he has something important to say. Moreover, this major event is of great importance, even related to the victory or defeat of his personal expedition.

"Father Lan, get up and talk!"

Emperor Yongping finally decided to listen to what Eunuch Lan had to say.

As for Eunuch Lan not serving by his side from now on, it was not a matter of his words.

He can change to a servant who is a close guard, but Eunuch Lan can become the chief supervisor of his Qiantian Palace. Moreover, Father Lan's loyalty, he is 100% trustworthy.

"Your Majesty, the slaves are bold, you may not like to hear what you say, but the loyal words are hard to hear!"

Lan Gonggong immediately explained the actual situation in the personal expedition camp to Emperor Yongping, and then said, "Also, Shen Wansheng, the former prefect of Xiangyi Prefecture, who was sent to the sinners camp by you, has been rescued. Escort Shen Wansheng to the sinners. A team of guards from the battalion, and the body is placed in a tent where the quarters are stored."

Because of the late arrival of spring in the North, and another terrifying cold spring that has happened once in hundreds of years, the weather in Qifeng Mansion is still cold.

The corpse is stored in the tent, and even for ten days and a half, it will not emit a stench.

"This, how, how is it possible?"

When Emperor Yongping heard Eunuch Lan's words, the whole person was dumbfounded.

He thought that he would become the most emperor in the history of the Tang Dynasty who could be compared with the founding emperor Taizu. But now, Eunuch Lan said something to wake him up from his sweet dream, and that's not counting. When he woke up from his sweet dream, he also fell into the quagmire.

"Eunuch Lan, what you said is true?"

After a long time, Emperor Yongping, who had regained his thoughts a little, asked another question.

However, without waiting for Eunuch Lan to answer, Emperor Yongping answered his own question and said, "Eunuch Lan, you have never lied to me, and this time is definitely no exception, but I am stupid!"

"Hahaha……"

Emperor Yongping woke up and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this moment, he thought of last year when he wanted to go on a personal expedition. At that time, there was a Yan Jing death remonstrance. And this year, Yan Jing resigned and left him.

At this moment, Emperor Yongping also remembered the Dengwen drum beaten by Dai Duo.

Who is the loyal minister?

Who is the traitor?

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, who else could he trust?

At this moment, Emperor Yongping felt that the whole world was the enemy. The people around him are full of malice towards him.

At this moment, he selectively lost his memory!

He forgot that King Yan regarded him as his brother and wanted to be his servant, but he was afraid.

He forgot that Father Xu and his son fought bloody Huang Fengkou, and led a group of troops from Xiangyi Prefecture who had never been in battle to kill the northern barbarian army, but he did not achieve a fair reward for meritorious deeds.

He even forgot that Zuoqiu, the prefect of the capital prefecture, walked through a long blood-stained street under the escort of numerous prefects and yachai in the capital for his life.

Datang is not without loyal ministers!

It's just that the loyal minister was abandoned by him!

Mencius once said, if the ruler treats his subjects like brothers and feet, then the subject treats the ruler as his heart; if the ruler treats his subjects like dogs and horses, then the subject treats him like a countryman; if the ruler treats his subjects like the soil, then the subjects treat the ruler as the enemy.

For the emperor, how to treat his subjects, then how the subjects will repay the emperor.

"Eunuch Lan, can I only go back to the court?"

After a long time, Emperor Yongping took a deep breath and looked at Eunuch Lan, "If I call Marquis Wu Cheng and Uncle Yong Wu here, can I turn the tide?"
