Chapter Five Hundred and Two: Take it lightly

The next morning, Cheng Gongying led Yan Xing into the tall and magnificent Dayan Palace Gate. Looking at the officials around him who kept greeting Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing felt a little nervous. When he joined the army, the Han Dynasty was already in chaos, and all the princes were fighting for power and profit. After following Han Sui, although he entered the top leadership, such an orthodox court meeting, he had never attended the continuous officials, so he quickly took a look at his clothes.

Cheng Gongying, who had just bowed to an official, saw this scene and smiled and said, "Yanming, take it easy and follow the rules step by step, there will be no problem."

Yan Xing nodded, looked up at the magnificent and magnificent Chaotian Temple above the higher level, took a breath, calming down his mood.

"The Zuo Prime Minister is here." After hearing only one person shouting, Tian Feng led several officials into the palace gate.

"Meet the Left Prime Minister" the officials hurriedly said, "Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing are no different."

"No need to be polite to everyone." Tian Feng waved his hand lightly.

After Yan Xing got up, he looked at Tian Feng carefully, and whispered: "This is Tian Feng, the elder of the two dynasties of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Cheng Gongying nodded and said in admiration: "Tian Xiang is not only very intelligent, but also loyal to the Yuan family. He is the only existence who has given the gold medal of exemption from death and the head of all officials."

"When he was in Xiliang, Yan had heard of his great name, the contemporary Huo Guang," Yan Xing exclaimed.

"No, no, although Huo Guang has been in power for three dynasties, he is suspected of being a powerful minister. Tian is stronger than him, and the king is even more powerful than ever," Cheng Gongying shook his head and said.

"Haha, this is General Yan Xing." Tian Feng and Han Yan were suddenly brought to Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing.

After being shocked, the two hurriedly bowed and said, "Meet the left prime minister."

"No need to be polite. General Yan Xing has heard of you for a long time. I heard that the Battle of Python Gorge was designed by you," Tian Feng asked with appreciation.

"Shame, ashamed," Yan Xing said hurriedly.

"It's not ashamed of this. General Yan Xingshen's military strategy is of great importance. He defeated Ma Chao three times and broke the momentum. In the battle of Python Gorge, he decided to win. Only when the generals were defeated will he win. The king also praised him many times." Zhuge Liang praised him on the side.

"You're welcome." Although I don't know who Zhuge Liang is, it's definitely not easy to be with Tian Feng.

"When I go to court later, General Yan Xing should not be too nervous, just follow the rules," Tian Feng said the same words as Cheng Gongying.

"promise!"

Tian Feng nodded with a smile. After leaving with the people, Yan Xing asked curiously: "Chengzhuan, who is the young man he just asked about is, it is definitely not easy to see his momentum."

"Of course it's not simple. He is Zhuge Kongming, the chief minister of the Shangshu, and is recognized as the future prime minister. Apart from him, there is no other one. This governor of Xiliang is all designated by him." Cheng Gongying looked at Zhuge Liang's back in amazement.

"How old is he so powerful?" Yan Xing said in shock.

"You have never had a colleague with the Chief Secretary. You are definitely a talented person who is a world-class person. To be honest, with him, he can protect the great Yan for two hundred years, and his talent is a hundred times better than that," Cheng Gongying said seriously.

Yan Xing immediately took a breath of cold air, how many great talents does Dayan have?

"General Yan Xing" At this time, Li Ru walked over with Xin Ping with a smile.

"Meet the Right Prime Minister" Cheng Gongying shouted quickly, his tone obviously more respectful.

"Right Prime Minister" Yan Xing was shocked. This person was Liang Yin, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Li Si of the King of Yan. He held the Privy Council of the million-strong army of Da Yan in one hand, and helped Yuan Xi to transform from an unrespected second son to the current King of Yan step by step.

His fame is even greater than that of Tian Feng, and he is also the object that all generals must visit.

"Yan Xing, Xiliang, pay homage to the right prime minister." Yan Xing immediately bowed respectfully.

"Haha, General Yan, I finally saw you. In my heart, there are two generals in Xiliang. One is a peerless general. The current commander of the Seventh Army, Ma Chao, is the general. You are the general. You are good at using military tactics. I will go to the Privy Council to file a record." Li Ru said softly, and his tone was a little more cordial than Tian Feng."

"No!" Yan Xing responded quickly.

"Okay" After Li Ru left, Cheng Gongying immediately congratulated: "Yanming, if you have a left minister, your status in Dayan is stable, don't forget this old friend in the future."

Yan Xing also smiled and said, "Chen Zhuan, you are so polite. You are the governor of Xiliang and the chief magistrate of the border. Who can move except the king?"

Hearing this, the two of them laughed at the same time, and a small alliance was concluded.

At this time, a bell rang, and Cheng Gongying immediately said seriously: "The morning court has begun. Yanming, remember yesterday's arrangements. Whether you can save the lady depends on this time."

"Don't worry" Yan Xing became serious.

Not long after, all the officials stood up and entered the Chaotian Hall in an orderly manner. When Yuan Xi entered, all the officials called for a thousand years.

After Yuan Xi sat down, he signaled to Zheng Chun next to him.

Zheng Chun nodded and shouted: "Xuan Yanxing, Yan Yanming meets you"

After the eunuchs sent me a message, Yan Xing lowered his head and walked in step by step. After coming to the officials, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "My minister Yan Xing, bow to the king, the king is thousands of years old and thousands of years old."

"Haha, Yanming, get up quickly." Yuan Xi said happily, looking at the loyalty value that was already as high as 80, he was very satisfied. It seemed that as his status and strength became higher and higher, he no longer needed to try his best to win over it like before.

"King Xie" Yan Xing slowly stood up.

"You are willing to surrender to my Dayan, so that Gu is so happy that he can't fall asleep. This world is governed by civil and military battles, and civil and military must not be lost. You are the talent of a general. Today, Gu will officially enthrone you as the third-rank Anqiang General of the Seventh Army and the deputy commander of the Seventh Army." Yuan Xi announced loudly.

The ministers were shocked and General Anqiang was nothing, but the deputy commander of the Seventh Army had great power.

"I thank the king for his kindness." Yan Xing bowed again, and Cheng Gongying, who was standing among the officials, also smiled.

"Yanming, do you have any other requirements?" Yuan Xi asked with a smile, his eyes full of expectation.

When Yan Xing heard this, his face immediately calmed down, kowtowed three times, and said sadly: "King, the former Qinhou of Xiliang, Han Sui, has blocked the army of the Great Yan King, but for more than ten years he has protected the territory and safeguarded the people, pacified the Qiang tribe, and captured the Western Regions. Although he had committed serious crimes, he also made contributions. I ask the King to let go of his daughter Han Mengtong for his crimes, and would like to exchange all his rewards for his own exchange."

"What" the ministers began to discuss, and soon, an official took the lead in anger and stood up: "Why can you be lenient with the technique of witchcraft to slander Ma Guipin and attempt to murder the king?"

"If this list is open, what is the law and what is the power of the king? I think it is absolutely impossible."

"Deputy Coach Yan, are you threatening the king?"

The ministers opposed it strongly. Yuan Xi, who was sitting high, raised his lips and waved his hand gently to stop the ministers from attacking Yan Xing. He said to Tian Feng beside him: "Left Prime Minister, what do you think about this?"

Tian Feng was stunned and glanced at Yuan Xi secretly, and suddenly felt helpless. It seemed that the king was reluctant to let it go.

"King, it is indeed a crime to contempt for Concubine Han to do such a thing, but since ancient times, filial piety is the heaven. Concubine Han had to do it because of the matter at that time. Now both Ma Han families have suffered heavy losses. Twenty-one people have died in the Ma family, leaving only Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Ma Guipin. Twenty-five people have died in the Han family. There is only a seven-year-old young man at present," Tian Feng said sighing.

"Master, the young master is still in bed now. He is only seven years old and needs a relative to take care of him. I ask the king to open up his face with a kind heart." Yan Xing's eyes asked in tears. Originally, Cheng Gongying asked him to pretend to cry, but at this moment he was indeed sad inside and unconsciously left tears.

"A king, for the king, you should tolerate the world. The witchcraft is invisible. Emperor Wu made a big mistake back then. He asked the king to use the loyalty of the generals of Xiliang, the peace of the people of Xiliang, and the virtues of human relations and family affection, to be gentle and destined." Zhuge Liang also stood up.

"Please give up the king and be lenient." Li Ru, Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Sima Yi, Xin Ping, Feng Ji, Cheng Gongying and others also ordered to stand up and echo.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Xi seemed embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he said, "This matter is for the sake of Yan Ming and the surrender of the generals of Xiliang. Let's go and meet the Empress Dowager!"

"King Xie" heard this, Yan Xing kowtowed excitedly, and his loyalty value was almost ninety in an instant.

When Yuan Xi turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

In the afternoon of the same day, a royal decree was passed on.

"Although Han Mengtong was guilty of frame-up, she thought that her father had made merits in defending the territory and asked all officials to be exempted. She ordered her to be lightly sent, and she was demoted from a noble concubine to a talented person. In addition, she warned all the girls in the harem that if there were any such incident in the future, she would be severely punished and never forgiven."

In the cold palace, when Zheng Chun finished reading the imperial edict one by one, Han Mengtong, who knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict, suddenly shed tears of touch. She knew very well that if Yuan Xi had no affection for her, no one would have saved her.

"Talented man, the king has something to say, you can still move into Mengyun Hall," Zheng Chun said softly.

"That's great." Xiaoling, who was standing beside her, said excitedly.

"No, Zhengmen Ling, please tell the king that I have committed a serious crime and have been demoted to a talented man. How can I enter the Mengyun Palace? If it is not up to the courtesy, please re-arrange it." Hearing this, Han Mengtong hurriedly said, "The talented man is the lowest twelve-level concubine in the palace. How can I enter the Mengyun? If so, how can the other girls in the harem be satisfied?

"Miss" Xiaoling immediately pouted.

"Haha, the talented man knows the general idea. Then I will reply for you. The talented man should prepare well. He will go to see the queen mother and the queen later. In addition, the king arranged for Deputy Commander Yan and Governor Cheng to meet him," Zheng Chun admired.

"Thank you" Han Mengtong immediately said gratefully.

When Zheng Chun left, Xiaoling immediately said anxiously: "Miss, why did you refuse Mengyun Palace? Where did the talented people live!"

Han Mengtong smiled indifferently and said, "No matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the cold palace."

"But"

"It's okay. Although my father has gone, he left me with precious wealth, that is, Brother Yanming, Cheng Zheng's clerk, and his father's original generals. Only they are here. Although I am a talented person, I am actually no different from the noble concubine," Han Mengtong said sadly.

"Miss, don't be sad," Xiaoling immediately comforted.

"Xiaoling, please go and prepare quickly. We will go and meet the Queen Mother, Queen, and Sister Ma immediately." Han Mengtong hesitated for a while and said sighing.
