The dream of a lonely hero

Xie smiled bitterly:"You don't want me to leave, okay! I will take you with me." She shouted,"Yanfeng, the beast, recognized a thief as his father, killed nineteen people in the Jinzhou Xiang army, and stole the Yulong County official's silver -"

Yan He was horrified when he heard about it, and thought: if the news reaches the princess in the front hall, not only will his future be ruined, but his life will be at risk; what should he do? What to do?

Mr. Xie loudly denounced Yan Feng for his numerous crimes. Yan Feng knew that his situation was in danger, and his hair stood on end. Anger arose in his heart and turned to his guts, and he quickly hit Mr. Xie's chest with a palm. Xie spewed blood and threw herself into Yan Feng's arms. Blood gushed out of her mouth, and she clung to his plain white brocade robe.

"Ah!" A scream came from outside the house.

Yan Feng quickly broke away from Mr. Xie's hands in horror, grabbed the door and flew out. When he took a closer look, it was Zhao Yuanrong, the second princess. He suddenly felt frightened and tried to calm down, saying:"Resent——"Rong-"

Zhao Yunrong saw Yan Feng's inhumane behavior outside the window, which was outrageous, and said angrily:"Beast!" You are a heartless beast with no humanity. You actually killed your mother. This princess will bring you to court. Go away!"Grab him by the collar and drag him away.

Yan Feng hurriedly said:"Yanrong, Yunrong! listen to me."

Zhao Yuanrong said angrily:"Shut up! brute. Is this the princess's given name by you?" Yan Feng couldn't help but drag her away.

Yan Feng suddenly changed his color and quickly grabbed her with a move. He twisted her arm and shouted:"Yellow-haired girl! Grandpa, if I can't get better, you, your sister, your father, and everyone in your prime minister's house can't even think of getting better! Grandpa, I was sent by the Zhengshitang to patrol the counties on Hebei West Road. Don’t you forget? The head of the Zhengshitang is your father, the prime minister of the dynasty. A ninth-rank official patrolling the dynasty violates the laws of the court. You Can the father get away with it? Not to mention, your father received more than 10 million guan in bribes in a month. Not to mention, today, Prince Shen Zheng, Zhongshe Wangzhi, gave your father 100,000 guan in order to be promoted to the head of Zhongshu. The day before yesterday, Wang Xun was planning Cai Hegang The official bribed your father with 300,000 taels of gold, and at the beginning of the month, the censor Lu Qiu Shun bribed your father with 3,000 taels of gold. These were all given to your father through my own hands. I kept each account privately. The registration is clear. Oh, of course you can kill me, but you can't silence me. One hundred of my confidants are hiding in every corner of the capital, and each one has a book. As long as something happens to me, they will immediately beat the drum to hear it. How about your Zhao family? Just imagine - beheading is beheading, distributing is distributing, the family is destroyed, is it still far away? By then, you, the princess, will either be exiled to a deserted island overseas or be reduced to begging on the streets. Yes, there is another way out - that is, you will be sold into Qingloujiyuan. My clever second princess, think about it!"

Zhao Yunrong was originally good at martial arts, but he didn't expect that Yan Feng was also an expert and was easily captured. After hearing his threatening words, Liu Mei raised his eyebrows and cursed:"Yan Feng is a beast! Despicable and shameless!

Yan Feng said:"Thank you for the compliment from the princess!" A mountain villager can have what he has today, even though he doesn’t have a good father like you who can be crowned king or prime minister, but I can still stand out; a mountain villager can have what he has today, and he can have the Prime Minister of the day appreciate him, and he can have the Prime Minister’s daughter fall in love with him; Damn it. What is? As the saying goes: If a person has no shame, he can do anything. With 'shamelessness', I, Yanfeng, have an unlimited future! You can't learn the subtleties of it. Your understanding is too poor, but your IQ must be high. I, a scoundrel, went to hell and died in a worthy death. Why? With the Prime Minister of the dynasty, the Prince of Hancheng, accompanying him, and hundreds of family members from the Prime Minister's Mansion accompanying him, what regrets would there be in dying! What's the point of dying?"Let go of her arm.

Zhao Yunrong was so angry that he was shaking all over and roared:"Shameless, scoundrel! There is such a rogue beast like you in the world! It's all my sister's fault for being blind.

Yan Feng said:"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" It didn't matter if you were blind at first, but if you are blind again now, it will bring disaster to your Zhao family! My second princess, please calm down. The face of a daughter of a prime minister who is as beautiful as flowers and jade is full of anger. It doesn’t look good, it doesn’t look good! Even applying a few ounces of rouge will not help. Second Princess, please calm down! Zhao

Yuanrong heard that his father had the handle in his hands, so he had to be cautious, suppressed his anger, and gritted his teeth and said:"Yanfeng, what do you want?"

Yan Feng hesitated and said,"Second Princess, you are wrong!" Not what do I want, but what do you want? well! Who asked me to show off to my sister-in-law who is wise on the outside and stupid on the inside? My brother-in-law will teach you. Nothing happened today. My nephew is lighting a lantern - as usual. It’s not difficult to complain about girls, isn’t it?"

Zhao Yunrong looked at the arrogant Yan Feng and wanted to tear him into pieces, but what could he do if the Zhao family's handle fell into his hands? He couldn't bear to say anything.

Yan Feng said:"Yanrong! Go to the front hall to accompany your sister. I'll be there as soon as I finish cooking. Your sister is not as gentle as you who wields a sword. Don't talk about dead people. She can't stand being frightened."

Zhao Yuanrong left in anger.

The left backyard of Yan Mansion is where the servants live. It was very dark, and the servants were busy in the front yard. The yard looked desolate and quiet. Although Yanfeng behaved calmly in front of Zhao Yuanrong, Zhao Yuanrong left. Finally, I could no longer conceal my inner panic and uneasiness. I was filled with a variety of emotions including panic, grief, guilt, and regret. I was devastated and walked into the room with heavy steps. I looked at Mr. Xie’s body lying on the ground. He slowly leaned over and slowly wiped the blood from the corners of Xie's mouth and hands with the rust of his robe. Suddenly he raised his hand and slapped his cheek hard for more than ten times, and roared:"Yanfeng, Yanfeng! Beast, beast! savage! After a moment, he looked up to the sky and cursed,"God, God is blind, why don't you ask my mother to poison me, a beast that is worse than a beast!""Howling bitterly, she couldn't control herself. After a while, she slowly carried Ms. Xie to the kang and laid her down. She closed her eyes and covered her with a quilt. She burst into tears and said,"Mother! Feng'er knew that he was wrong and that his sin was serious, but he couldn't stop, he couldn't stop! There will be no turning back for Feng'er in this life. When you have your grandson Feng'er, you will definitely tell him to be a good person and inherit the Yan family's integrity and kindness. mother! It would be nice to ask my brother to send me to the Yamen in Shuhu Town. Feng'er has harmed many more people. No, Feng'er is wrong and you should not be blamed.-"

"Mr. Colonel! The princess is waiting for you in the front hall!"Butler Xu San greeted Yan Feng respectfully outside the door.

Yan Feng walked out of the room slowly and saw that it was already dark. He said,"Xu San took a few servants, bought a top-quality coffin, and went to the rocky hillside in the northern suburbs of the city to take the old man's coffin." The woman was buried without making any noise. No grave was left, and a mark was made. The servants could just go with the old woman without making any mistakes!"

Xu San is Yan Feng's confidant. Hearing this, Li Li promised repeatedly.

Yan Feng went back to the inner room, changed his clothes and rushed to the front hall.

Yan Feng's front hall. The food was ready. Princess Zhao Yuanchun's face was full of joy, and the two Princess Zhao Yunrong was waiting for Yan Feng as cold as ice.

Yan Feng came in and said with a smile,"Two princesses, you have been waiting for a long time. Please forgive me, forgive me!"

Zhao Yuanchun smiled and said:"Then I will drink three drinks as a penalty." Yan Feng said:"

Xiaosheng is willing to accept the punishment.""Pick up the glass and start drinking.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Slow down! Take a few bites of hot food quickly, don't hurt your stomach.

Zhao Yunrong said coldly:"It hurts the stomach, but it won't hurt your life!" Yan Feng smiled:"

Yes, yes!" Besides, if the princess punishes me with drinking wine, it doesn’t matter if it can’t hurt my life!"Drink three bowls in a row.

Zhao Yuanchun couldn't stop Yanfeng in a hurry and said to Zhao Yuanrong:"Yanrong! Why are you feeling unwell today? It’s because of the cold!"On the one hand, he blames Zhao Yuanrong for being sarcastic towards Yan Feng, and on the other hand, in order not to embarrass Yanfeng, he gives Zhao Yuanrong a step down.

Zhao Yuanrong said:"What are you afraid of if you change Feng Han? What you are afraid of is ingratitude -"

Zhao Yuanchun thought he was reminding Yan Feng not to be ungrateful and loyal to him in the future, and said:"Yan Rong, Jun Biao is not that kind of person."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Ask him, where is the plain white brocade robe that you gave him just now?"

Yanfeng hurriedly restrained his frightened expression and responded accordingly, saying:"Oh! oh! Jun Biao is not like that. He shouldn't like the new and dislike the old. Yuan Chun! I changed out of the white robe I just wore and put on this red robe. From now on, I will wear the white robe you gave me every day and will no longer be tired of the old."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Why don't you wear it now?

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Okay, okay!" It's all my fault. It just needs to make a few more sets of clothes for Jun Biao every day. Stop talking, it’s just a piece of clothing!"

Zhao Yuanrong said:"That's not a matter of clothes!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Yan Rong! Just stop arguing, the food is getting cold."

Zhao Yuanrong stopped talking.

During the meal, Zhao Yuanchun kept calming down the serious atmosphere. Yan Feng tried his best to use his witty eloquence. Zhao Yuanrong's face was covered with frost. After a while, they dispersed. The Zhao sisters went back home. Lantaiyuan,

Prime Minister's Office, The second princess Zhao Yuanrong's boudoir.

Zhao Yuanrong frowned, pacing back and forth, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes standing still.

Zhao Yuanchun walked slowly inside, looked at the restless Zhao Yuanrong, and asked:"Yanrong! Why is it so abnormal? It must be Yan Feng who has annoyed you. Tell your sister."

The maid Chunxiang had already prepared tea, snacks and other items and stood at one side to serve.

Zhao Yuanrong said to the maid:"Stay back! You are not allowed to come in unless summoned by the princess."

The maid Chunxiang promised and left the room.

Qianrong still kept pacing. Yuanchun sat down and looked at her without saying a word. After a long time, Yuanchun said:"Qianrong! It's getting late. Go get some rest. My sister won't bother you anymore." She stood up to leave.

Yuan Rong stopped her and she sat down again. Yuan Rong was about to speak but stopped.

Yuan Chun said:" Yuan Rong! It's better to rest early."

In fact, Yuan Chun was more anxious. From Yuan Rong's abnormal behavior, he deduced that there must be something big and it must be related to Yan Feng. When the two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, neither of them said a word and they went back to their respective boudoirs. Yuan Chun was restless. I went to Yunrong's boudoir to understand, but I would never force her to tell the whole story.

Yunrong said:"Sister! Do you know what kind of beast Yanfeng is?"

Yuanchun was stunned, still unmoved, and listened to her attentively. Yuanrong told the story of Yanfeng's mother-killing in detail. After hearing this, Yuanchun felt like a tall building had lost its footing, and the Yangtze River had its cable broken and the boat collapsed. She fainted and fainted on the table with a cry of"Oh!". Xianrong hurriedly carried her to the kang and caressed her chest, calling:"Sister!" Sister, wake up! Wake up!"

Yuanchun's face was pale, her almond-shaped eyes slightly opened, she was panting and gnashing her teeth and said:"You scum, Yan Feng is a scumbag!"

Yanrong said:"Sister! If we get rid of him, we will bring disaster to our father. If we don't get rid of him, there will be endless troubles. What should I do? What should I do?

Yuan Chun said:"Don't worry, tell sister to think about it carefully.""

Yan Rong poured a cup of hot tea for Yuan Chun and handed it to Yuan Chun.

Yuan Chun held the tea cup and thought hard about the countermeasures.

Yan Feng underestimated Zhao Yuanchun. The princess Zhao Yuanchun was a scholar who was not a scholar. He was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. At that time, he was just Love made him unconscious for a moment and was blinded by Yan Feng. When he woke up, he was in Yan Feng's hands. Zhao Yuanrong looked at his sister anxiously and quickly thought of a perfect plan.

Zhao Yuanchun thought for a long time and said:"My father is rolling around in the officialdom. In ten years, Yan Feng has only been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a few days. It is unlikely that his father will ask him to access core secrets. It is most likely Yan Feng's blackmail.

Zhao Yunrong said:"Sister! I will kill that guy now." He raised his feet to leave.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Don't be in a hurry. Just in case, let's stabilize him Yan Feng first, promote him to do the observation of San Locust State, and let him set off in ten days. Our sisters will send him off well; tonight, sister Ask your father to find out the truth. If what Yan Feng said is true, tell your father to deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"Sister is not in trouble in the battle, it is really Kong Ming who is alive!"

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Stop making fun of my sister. , Kong Ming is still alive! I have been fooled by a rogue until today."

Zhao Yuanrong was still full of doubts and said:"Sister - sister, father - father, is it true?"

Of course Zhao Yuanchun knew what his sister was asking, Without a direct answer, he said:"Thinking means being prepared, and being prepared is safe."

Zhao Yuanrong said:"I am talking about the Yanfeng dog thief accusing his father of taking bribes. Is it true?"

The Zhao sisters usually asked their father, Han Junwang Prime Minister Zhao Pu was never interested in political affairs, let alone getting involved. Yanfeng broke in, and the eldest princess Zhao Yuanchun got involved. The second princess Zhao Yuanrong asked her whether her father had accepted bribes, but she didn't know if it was okay.

That night, Zhao Yuanchun resignedMy younger sister Yunrong went to Yin'an Palace to meet the Prime Minister Han Jun Wang Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu is about fifty years old. His gray hair is tied up in a bun with a purple gold hairpin. His weathered face is as sharp and angular as a wood carving. He has thick eyebrows and sharp eyes. He has three short beards. He is slim and energetic. He is wearing a purple embroidered dragon. The robe is tied with a double tassel for civil and military affairs, an exquisite jade sash ring tied around the waist, and a pair of gold-threaded green soap court boots on the waist. There is a jade lamp and a stack of official documents on the desk, and he is sitting behind the desk with the official documents in his hand to review them.. When Zhao Yuanchun entered the palace, he had already received a report from the court official.

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Father, long blessings!"

Zhao Pu said:"Chun'er, it's been so late and I still haven't had a rest." Zhao Yuanchun said sadly:"It's been so late, and my father hasn't had a rest either. My father is busy with the affairs of the country every day, and my daughter can't serve her father. I feel ashamed to share the burden! Father, take care of yourself, the Song Dynasty still has to rely on you!"

Zhao Pu said:"Chun'er, it's okay! You see, father is as strong as an ox. Tell me something."

Zhao Yuanchun looked at the book on the desk. He piled up official documents and waited for his father to deal with them. He really couldn't bear to waste his time, but he couldn't do it without saying anything. A look of embarrassment hung on his face.

Zhao Pu knew that his daughter must have something to do when she came into the palace late at night. She had never been in Yin'an Palace before. He knew that her daughter was afraid of wasting her time and hesitated to speak, so she said:"Chun'er, tell me! These official documents won't take a cup of tea."."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Father! Yan Feng has not been in the prime minister's office for a long time and cannot be entrusted with important tasks."

Zhao Pu said:"Father, you know that Yan Feng is not a fuel-efficient lamp! The Jinzhou murder case and the Zhenzhou Yulong County official's silver theft case. They are all related to him. How could your father not know about his affairs? Li Weidong, the arrogant and powerful general of Anguo Jiedushi, was in a stable state. Li Weidong had been entrenched in Heshuo for more than ten years. His disciples and old officials were all over northern Hebei and Shanzuo! Don't talk about him Father. It's hard for me to tell you clearly, but it's okay for you to know now, just don't tell Yan Feng."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"Father! When will Yan Feng Xiao's little disciple be brought to justice?"

Zhao Pu said:"Little People have their own uses. The villains who have gained power in ancient temples are not always due to the stupidity of their masters. For their masters, villains often accomplish things that a gentleman cannot do. A good horse can only ride a good horse but it is not capable, and a bad horse can only ride a bad horse. Everyone knows how to use it. Gentlemen can use it, but only extraordinary people dare to use it."

Zhao Yuanchun said:"My father is far-sighted and far-sighted, but my daughter can't match it. My daughter should ask her father not to be careless, as half a piece of tile can trip up a good horse thousands of miles away! Looking at the three kings of the Xinghan Dynasty, King Han Xin of Chu, King Peng Yue of Liang, and King Yingbu of Huainan were not defeated at the hands of prominent figures; they were defeated by their close ministers, Han Xin's retainers, Peng Yue's servants, and Yingbu's servants. They had a close relationship with their masters. In the gap, they caught the wind and caught the shadow to report the emperor, which caused the three kings to be ruined. Xixiang Hou Zhang Fei, the chariot general of the Shu Han Dynasty who defeated thousands of armies, was not wrapped in horse leather and was killed by the poisonous hands of the last generals Fan Jiang and Zhang Da. Father, you can learn from the past! Although the Yanfeng Viper is just a A chess piece, but if it stays in the prime minister's house for a long time, trouble may arise in the future, so it's better to be prepared! What do you think, father?"

Zhao Pu put down the official document in his hand and looked at his gentle daughter. He didn't expect to have such an insight. After thinking for a moment, he smiled Said:"This hall (the prime minister of the Song Dynasty since) How lucky are you to have a daughter like you who shows off your kindness but is filial and considerate? Being a father has his own concerns, so go ahead and rest early."

Zhao Yuanchun bid farewell to his father and went back to his room to rest.
