After rebirth, I was entangled by the enemy's protons

Chapter 176 Fan Family, Down!

At that time, Su Jingyuan knew that Shangjing was more critical than Beifu, because what they had to face was the army of Yong Kingdom.

He also knew that he could survive by escaping, but he was the general of Yan State.

As a soldier, dying on the battlefield is his destination.

In his previous life, Su Jingyuan chose to fight to the death, preferring death to surrender, and did not seek help from the capital until his death. This was his atonement, and it was also his choice.

In the end, one hundred thousand Dingyuan troops bloodied Jianbei Pass, and General Zhenbei also died in battle.

Those soldiers who died in battle stopped the barbarian's footsteps with their own lives, and bit off a piece of Morton's flesh.

The barbarians who invaded Beifu did not have time to burn, kill and loot, so they dared to bring a large army of barbarians to the capital to meet with the Yong army to discuss the subsequent plan to encroach and divide the country of Yan.

Following Chu Yi's words, the memory of Su Jingyuan in Xiao Yan's mind was also awakened.

Xiao Yan said in his heart: He is a hero.

Chu Yi carefully put the jade pendant that Su Jingyuan gave her into her arms, raised her head, looked at the clear blue sky, and said, "At least, he's home."

"Next month will be New Year's Eve. This year, it should be a reunion year." She muttered to herself.

She thought so, and ordered the crane controller next to her: "Tell Su Bai...forget it, don't need to say it."

Chu Yi originally wanted to reveal everything to Su Bai in a side-by-side manner, so that he could be prepared, but after thinking about it, no matter what Su Jingyuan's ending would be, Su Bai would probably be able to guess that this was his second uncle's own choice.

And since I have accepted Su Jingyuan's Nuanyu, at least I won't let anything happen to Su Bai and Su Xuan.

Su Jingyuan had already walked to the Qianyuan Hall, and just as he was about to step in, he froze.

Not far away, a young man in black came towards him, with black hair like silk, deep lacquered eyes, and a somewhat cold and gloomy pale face.

It wasn't until Chu Zhao walked in front of Su Jingyuan that Su Jingyuan came back to his senses in a trance: "I have seen the four halls—"

Chu Zhao interrupted his salute with a cold and calm tone: "There is no need to be too polite."

Chu Zhao's eyes fell on Su Jingyuan, and his long and narrow black eyes became deeper and deeper.

If anyone has seen Su Jingyuan 20 years ago, they will definitely find similarities between the two, but these years of hard work on the border have made Su Jingyuan no longer the handsome and handsome nobleman when he was young. Now they can't see too much. Much alike in appearance.

Su Jingyuan stared at Chu Zhao without blinking, his heart was trembling.

This is his...blood.

The last time I saw Chu Zhao was when he rode out on a horse.

Fan Qiongran took the young man's hand and bid farewell to him. The young man looked at him with only engraved hatred and disgust.

He could only clean up silently what Chu Zhao had done in these years. He knew that Chu Zhao had always hoped that he would die in battle, and he himself was also waiting for this day.

But this time, Chu Zhao's eyes were indifferent.

The moment they passed by, a somewhat stiff smile appeared on Su Jingyuan's vicissitudes face. Although it was stiff, he had already exhausted his strength.

And Chu Zhao also nodded lightly to him, his thin lips slightly raised.

He still hated him, just like Tan Feng answered after he asked Tan Feng that question that day.

"Who do you think Su Jingyuan is?"

"...Su Jingyuan is a qualified general. He works conscientiously. He has guarded Jianbei Pass for ten years like a day. He has commanded the Dingyuan iron cavalry invincible. He makes the barbarians fearful and the Yan people admire him."

What Su Jingyuan did really made him admire.

If he is not his biological father, if he is really the Fourth Prince of Yan Kingdom, maybe he will also regard him as a trusted elder.

No matter how much I don't like Yan Guo, no matter how much I blame others, feel sorry for everyone, but because Chu Yi cares about these things, he doesn't want her to be disappointed or sad.

Chu Zhao raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and murmured: "I have worked very hard, I have worked very hard to protect what you want to protect, and I like what you like."

Su Jingyuan endured the soreness in his eyes and walked towards Qianyuan Hall.

Seeing him, Eunuch Zhang personally stepped forward and saluted with a complex expression: "Master Hou, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

The door of the palace opened, and Su Jingyuan saw Chu Tingxiao, who was wearing a dragon robe and was standing with his back facing him, standing under a huge map with his hands behind his back.

Chu Zhao in the corner watched him walk in before turning to leave.

He found Tan Feng, and took out a letter with fresh ink from his arms and handed it to him.

Tan Feng took the letter and asked doubtfully, "What is your Highness's order? Who should I send this letter to?"

Chu Zhao took a deep breath, and said coldly: "Hu Shun, the prefect of Linjiang, I once saved the life of his only son. If you still want to join the army, you can take leave now and leave Beijing for Linjiang. When you arrive, hand over this letter to Give it to him, and he will arrange a new errand for you."

Tan Feng was shocked and couldn't believe it: "Linjiang? Your Highness, are you... are you going to leave?"

Chu Zhao had already turned around, his tone still cold: "If you don't leave now, it will be difficult to leave, go."

Tan Feng's eyes turned red instantly, he clenched his fists, thought of something, put the letter into his sleeve, and knelt down abruptly.

"One day, if His Highness is in trouble, his subordinates will go to the rescue." He kowtowed hard to Chu Zhao's back, his voice choked with sobs.

Chu Zhao turned his back to him, a fleeting smile appeared on his indifferent face, and he waved his hand lightly, as if to say, shut up.

That smile is very similar to the Second Young Master Su when he was young.

Tan Feng didn't take out the letter until he left completely.

He stared at the ink on it, and tore it to pieces without hesitation.

He has already discovered that when His Royal Highness found himself this time, he did not call himself the main hall, but called himself "I".

"Your subordinate can't leave. If your subordinate leaves, who else do you have?" Tan Feng wiped away his tears and said with a smile.

In the Qianyuan Hall at this moment, there were only Chu Tingxiao, Su Jingyuan and Zhang Desheng in the corner.

The charcoal fire is warm, and the ambergris smells graceful, but there is still a depressing cold in the hall.

There was no pleasantries, no politeness, Su Jingyuan slowly told everything that happened in the past, without hiding a single word.

Chu Tingxiao's expression went from anger at the beginning, to pain, and finally calmed down.

After a long time, he said in a low voice: "Su Jingyuan, I thought that you would do what Fan Qian wished and intercede for the Fan family."

He hadn't seen Su Jingyuan for several years, and seeing him this time was completely different from what he remembered.

Su Jingyuan used to be handsome, unrestrained, unrestrained, but later he became more gloomy, but he was still a handsome son.

But now, he was obviously a few years younger than himself, but his temples were gray, his body was bent, and he was full of vicissitudes and evil spirits.

Some people, even after enlisting in the army, still try to maintain a graceful demeanor, such as Xiao Jichen, Prince Jing of the Yong Kingdom, who is a well-known elegant scholar general, and his eldest son Chu Lin, who joined the army as a young man, was still arrogant and romantic when we met last year. Because although they are gold and iron horses, fighting in all directions, they have a gully in their hearts and a safe haven.

But some people are atoning for their sins and venting their anger, and Su Jingyuan is the latter.

Su Jingyuan shook his head lightly, how could he intercede for the Fan family?Let the Fan family continue to do evil?
He said: "In recent years, I have been helping the tyrants to commit crimes, which has made the Fan family more unscrupulous. Before, it was also the minister who committed heinous crimes, but he was still lucky. He was greedy for life and afraid of death. Since then, the minister has been threatened by Fan Qian and Fan Qiongran. This time, there will be no compromise."

Chu Tingxiao looked at him, unable to tell what it was like.

He even thought that Su Jingyuan would kneel down and beg for mercy, and let himself spare his life for the sake of Su Jingqing and the Su family; he also thought that Su Jingyuan would lead his troops back to Beijing and enter the palace to rebel; Assassinate himself.

However, Su Jingyuan didn't do anything.

He pleaded guilty.

His pitch-black eyes were long and deep, and slowly, tears welled up little by little.

Fan Qian thought that when he returned to Beijing, he would be able to change everything.

Fan Qiongran also thought that after he came back, the Fan family would be able to turn around and make a comeback.

Now, Su Jingyuan really came back, but not for the Fan family!

His face was solemn, his whole body was filled with energy and blood, and before Chu Tingxiao could react, he had already turned his hand into a palm and hit him in the chest.

"Zhang Desheng!" Chu Tingxiao was shocked.

Eunuch Zhang shot quickly, but before he arrived, Su Jingyuan's hand had already fallen.

He opened his eyes slightly, and roared: "I would like to apologize with death, please Your Majesty punish Fan Qian, kill the virtuous concubine, abolish Chu Zhao, so as to bring peace to the world!"

The strong and powerful voice echoed in Qianyuan Hall, resounding everywhere.

After saying that, a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of Su Jingyuan's lips, and his face had turned as pale as paper.

Eunuch Zhang hastily supported him and felt his pulse: "Your Majesty, General Su has abandoned his martial arts and is in danger!"

"Okay, okay..."

Chu Tingxiao muttered to himself, his black eyes furious, and suddenly kicked Eunuch Zhang's ass, kicking him over: "Quickly go to the imperial doctor! Go to Du Yuan for a sentence! Immediately!"

Su Jingyuan half-closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth were raised all the time.

everything is over.

This is his choice.

His eyes darkened and he passed out.

Three days later.

A group of barbarian soldiers from the Xueyuan King's Court disguised as a caravan were spotted by Zhou Ran, the captain of Luzhou, when they passed through Luzhou in the Southern Prefecture with commercial documents.

Just as he was about to lead his troops to search, these so-called barbarian merchants ran away.

Zhou Ran led Luzhou Qingqi to hunt them down. Half a day later, they captured 34 barbarians. Two of them escaped and disappeared.

After interrogation, these barbarians confessed their identities—they were the group of assassins who assassinated Princess Yongning in the suburbs of Beijing last month.

No wonder they were not caught at the checkpoints at the North Mansion, because they did not go back to the snowfield through the North Mansion, but chose to take a detour from the South Mansion, trying to pass through Jinzhou and go back from the border of the Yong Kingdom.

The commercial documents in the hands of these barbarians were forged with the help of Prime Minister Fan, and the Fan family also secretly assisted them along the way.

The reason why Fan Qian didn't silence them was because their leader was named Luan Tikong.

Luan Tikong is the son of the Manrong King Zuoguli who was killed by Su Jingyuan before. He is also the adopted son of the Manrong Shan Yu Morton. He has a high status in the royal court. If he dies, the Manrong might not be able to Then cooperate with the Fan family.

Unfortunately, Luan Tikong escaped.

But the Fan family colluded with the barbarians and murdered the princess, the evidence is conclusive and indisputable!
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month in the fourth year of Chuping, the emperor issued a decree.

——Prime Minister Fan Qian colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, appointed sycophants, and murdered the princess, which is an unforgivable crime;
His son Fan Muyuan harmed the common people, committed crimes, and carried twelve lives on his body, which is an unforgivable crime;
The Fan family, Fan He, as a merchant, colluded with courtiers, endangered the people, and colluded with barbarians, which is an unforgivable crime!

The three crimes are unforgivable, and the three will be beheaded outside the Xuanwu Gate in ten days.

There is still a month to go before the Chinese New Year, when the time comes, the world may be amnesty, so Chu Tingxiao deliberately beheaded these three people before the amnesty.

The Fan family ransacked their homes. Except for the three of them, all the officials of the Fan family in the court, regardless of their sons and daughters, were sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The officials are all cleaned up.

All the ten-year-old males of the Fan family were exiled to Liangzhou, which borders Huihe, and they had to do 30 years of hard labor before they could be restored to the status of common people.

The female family members of the Fan family abolished all orders, and those of the same clan are not allowed to enter the court as officials through any channel within six generations.

As for the virtuous concubine Fan Qiongran, who disturbed the harem, intervened in politics privately, and wantonly murdered the maids, the crimes were also heinous.

For the sake of raising the prince, he was only abolished of his position and sent to the cold palace, and he would not be allowed to step out of the palace if he died.

In the end, it was the fourth prince, Chu Zhao.

As the prince, he has been in contact with the barbarians all these years, and he has joined forces with the Fan family to form a clique for personal gain and slander the prince.

He was punished for several crimes, and Chu Zhao was demoted to a commoner, and was also exiled in Liangzhou, where he did 30 years of hard labor.

The matter of Su Jingyuan and Concubine Xian will naturally not be announced to the world, and this matter will truly become an eternal secret, but Chu Zhao can no longer continue to be the fourth prince.

The treacherous ministers were punished, all the officials were purged, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of people, and the traitors in the court were picked out one by one, and the guards in crane robes dragged them to the Ministry of Punishment, to Zhao Prison, or to Heavenly Prison.

This was originally a matter between Eunuch Zhang and the dark hall, but both Chu Zhao and Wang Zhi were involved in the dark hall. Chu Tingxiao was furious and angrily accused the dark hall of being a bunch of trash. Eunuch Zhang came to cry again, saying that others He scolded himself as an eunuch intervening in politics, and he would not take over the matter even if he died.

"If Your Majesty insists on letting the servant take the dark hall to ransack the house, the servant will bump his head to death in front of His Majesty." Eunuch Zhang said with snot and tears.

Chu Tingxiao said: "Come on, come on, hit me, if you don't hit me, you're a grandson."

While letting Zhang Gong openly confront him, he handed over the ransacking of Fan's house to Chu Yi's Control Crane Division, with the assistance of Yulin Jun and Jing Zhaoyin.

All the officials who lost their horses were also directly interrogated by the procuring crane department.

This matter involves the prince, so it is inconvenient for the prince to intervene.

Satisfied, Eunuch Zhang stopped the trend of crashing to death, and plausibly said: "A slave is originally a grandson."

When Chu Yi ransacked Fan's house with the crane controller, he found tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver, rare antiques, and criminal evidence of Fan Qian's and Man Rong's transactions.

Man Rong's smelting technology is not high, Fan He has been secretly providing Man Rong with swords, guns, swords and halberds from the Kingdom of Yan, all kinds of ordnance, in exchange for Man Rong's iron ore, gold, silver and jewelry.

The barbarian king's court took the swords forged by these Yan people, attacked the land of Yan, and slaughtered the people of Yan—their ambitions gradually expanded, and one day, sooner or later, they would cross the Jianbei Pass.

If it wasn't for Su Jingyuan's foresight and foresight, wisdom and courage to repel them time and time again, Beifu would have already become a land of barbarians.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest, and it was like this in the previous life.
