When Zhao Yang heard this, he couldn't help being frightened, and immediately stood up and decisively refused:
"No! This is absolutely not allowed!"
Dong Anyu immediately followed up and said eagerly:
"Old Mr. Chang Hong has taken the blame for Mr. Ziming's crime in the name of Master! An Yu is also willing to follow Mr. Chang's example and protect the Lord from this bad reputation!"
"As for An Yu, now that Jinyang has been built, it has fulfilled its mission. An Yu is willing to do this to fulfill the lord's great achievements!"
Zhao Yang still said seriously:
"No! Yan Yu is a hero of our Zhao family. Although I, Zhao Yang, occasionally resort to small deceptions, I can still be considered upright! Doesn't Yan Yu do this to trap me into injustice? Don't mention this matter again. As for the As for the Marquis of Jin, I will find a way to deal with it, so I won’t bother you to think so hard!”
Dong Anyu wanted to say more, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Because he knew that Zhao Yang was extremely stubborn and would never be easily persuaded by him, so it was useless for him to say anything now. So, he had no choice but to respond:
"promise!"
After Dong Anyu retired, he returned to his official residence and sat there for a long time.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to write:
"An Yu has been favored by the Zhao family since he was a child, but because he was not angry about what Handan did, he actually caused the Zhao family to suffer great chaos, and even implicated Mr. Ziming and Mr. Chang because of it. This is An Yu's crime!
Now that I am dead and Jin Guoning and the Zhao family are established, how can the rest of the generals survive? No matter who doesn’t die, I will die! 』
After Dong An finished writing, he hesitated for a moment, but after his death, he decided to hang himself from the beam...
When Zhao Yang found out about this, it was like a bolt from the blue! I couldn't even believe it for a while, but when I arrived at Dong Anyu's official residence and saw his body, I realized that all this was true!
Zhao Yang knelt down and while caressing Dong Anyu's body, he couldn't help crying bitterly:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Li Ran also came over immediately after hearing the inquiry. After reading the final letter left by Dong Anyu, Li Ran also fell into deep thought.
Zhao Yang stood aside and quickly came out of his sadness. After setting up Dong Anyu's mourning hall, he and Li Ran came to the back hall to meet.
Li Ran couldn't help but sigh secretly:
"General... I didn't expect that Yan Yu, who seemed to be a coward, could be so righteous and heroic..."
Zhao Yang also felt quite helpless and just said:
"It was indeed a bit too sudden. Yesterday he came to see me, and that's exactly what he did. I refused at the time, but who would have thought...he actually...hey, it's so bad! It's so bad!"
Zhao Yang beat his chest and stamped his feet again, heartbroken, and Li Ran couldn't help but feel moved when he touched the scenery.
Li Ran knew that all of this was actually caused by the underworld.
Of course he also thought that Xun Shu might not let Zhao go so smoothly afterwards, but he really didn't expect that the secret followers would find Xun Shu so quickly.
And due to the direct intervention of the Dark Walkers, Xun Shuo's plan to eradicate the Zhao family was obviously greatly advanced.
Moreover, since the Dark Walkers have taken action, it can be said in disguise that what the Zhao family needs to face now is not just a civil strife in the Jin Kingdom. What he and Zhao Yang will face together will be the entire underworld hidden in the world!
Chang Hong "taken the blame" for Li Ran with the Zhou royal family. Dong Anyu "taken the blame" for the Zhao family, and scholars all over the world complained about Chang Hong. In this way, the culpability of Zhao Yang and Li Ran will naturally be reduced a lot.
Li Ran calmed down slightly and continued:
"General, we need to rush back to Jiangcheng as soon as possible! On Xunshu's side, the general still needs to have a good relationship with him, letting him control the inside, while the general can fight against the outside world. Although Xunshu is a serious problem, the general's current The crisis is still outside but not inside!"
Li Ran also came out of sadness. He knew that now was not the time to be sad, let alone the time to seek revenge.
When Zhao Yang saw Li Ran's firm expression, he wiped his tears, cupped his hands and said:
"What you said is true. You must obey him in everything."
Li Ran nodded slightly again, and the two of them came to the mourning hall together to keep watch for Dong Anyu.
And Li Ran also stood in front of his soul, silently making a solemn oath in his heart:
"I, Li Ran, will swear an oath in front of Yan Yuling today that Li will help the Zhao family to rectify the world! I will comfort you, Yan Yu, and my master's spirit in heaven!"
…
A few days later, at Dong Anyu's funeral, Zhao Yang took the unprecedented step of directly enshrining his memorial tablet into his family's ancestral temple to express their Zhao family's respect for Dong Anyu. Heavy.
And Dong Anyu, as a retainer of the Zhao family, was finally able to enter the Zhao family's ancestral temple. It can be said that the family is glorious and glorious.
After resolving the aftermath, Li Ran and Zhao Yang finally returned to Jiangcheng together.
The first thing Zhao Yang did when he entered Jiang was not to meet the king, but to meet Xun Shu first.
Xun Shu was still very enthusiastic on the surface. As soon as he heard that Zhao Yang was coming, he immediately left the house to greet him. And he held Zhao Yang's arms with both hands and said:
"Oh! Doctor Zhao, you are back. The battle in Jinyang was really amazing! I heard that you used the power of your clan to defeat the encirclement of Zhongxing, Fan and Handan. Doctor Zhao is indeed good at fighting. Na!"
Zhao Yang looked at Xun Shu in front of him, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled and said:
"It is also thanks to Lord Xun. If Doctor Xun had not intervened in this matter, how could I, the Zhao family, have been spared? Although the Xun family lives in Jiangcheng, as the saying goes, 'power is in the four directions, it must be in the center.' Lord Xun has made great contributions. !”
When Xun Shu heard this, he smiled and said:
"How dare you, how dare you, since all this has been agreed upon by us before, I am just acting according to the plan."
At this time, Zhao Yangqie suddenly said:
"By the way, it is said that Fan Gaoyi and Liang Ying's father..."
When Xun Shu heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"The two of them are considered to be in high positions now, but... they are not worthy of their reputation after all. Whether they can hold the position of Six Ministers... I think this actually needs to be discussed further. ah!"
When Zhao Yang heard this, he knew that Xun Shu had actually fallen into Li Ran's previous alienation plan, but at this moment he still replied calmly:
"Oh? Does Doctor Xun have other ideas now?"
Xun Shu nodded, pulled Zhao Yang into the inner room, and said:
"That's true. In fact... now in the court, as Zhifu said in his previous letter, it is enough to only have four ministers!"
Zhao Yang originally had this idea, but on the surface he kept it secret and just pretended that it had nothing to do with him and replied:
"It's just...a gentleman's words are hard to follow. Lord Xun has promised them before, but he can't break his promise, right?"
When Xun Shu heard this, he looked nonchalant and replied disdainfully:
"Hey! What's the problem? Liang Ying's father is just a matter of a word from me, so he doesn't dare to make any mistakes! As for Fan Gaoyi... Fan Jishe is still preparing to make a move in Chaoge, but Fan Gaoyi wants to inherit it. To become the sixth minister, isn’t this just an idiot’s dream?”
Zhao Yang was secretly happy, but his expression remained calm:
"Haha, what Mr. Xun said is somewhat true. The Chaoge rebellion has not yet been resolved, and both Fan and Zhongxing regard me, Zhao Yang, as their mortal enemy. Yang Yang is willing to lead my Zhao family's division to quell the rebellion! Your Excellency, just be here Jiangcheng is in charge, and as for the matter of withdrawing the second minister, you can just do it yourself, and Yang Yang will definitely agree to it!"
