A group of government officials in the Tianlu didn't know where they came from, and they knelt on the ground.
As for the reason?
Accompanying His Royal Highness the King of Han to receive the order here.
"Blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed. King Li Ying of Han..."
After scolding Xu Yunyan throughout the article, he finally got to the point.
Xu Yunyan was not suitable to be a prince, so he cut him down to the bottom and lost his title. He was demoted from the third-rank General Yunhui to a fourth-rank General Zhongwu. This was something Xu Yunyan didn't expect.
"I also reserved the position of general for myself! It's just that being assigned to Qiongzhou made me unable to react for a while.
Qiongzhou! Hainan!
By sending me to such a far away place, do you mean that I will never come back for the rest of my life?
But you left me with the title of General Zhongwu. When I arrived in Qiongzhou, the governor of Qiongzhou was still not on an equal footing with me. Who among us would listen to whom? "
Just when Xu Yunyan was complaining here and thinking about what happened in Qiongzhou, the order was issued.
"His Royal Highness, the King of Han, please accept the order and thank me."
This eunuch is still very discerning, although now the prince has been inexplicably reduced, but he has not been reduced to a commoner. From General Yunhui to General Zhongwu, he knows that he can still be used.
However, Xu Yunyan hurriedly accepted the order to thank him, but the group of generals behind him quit.
"What? We have kept our titles, but our general, the prince, has lost his title? Even if he is reduced by one level, he is still a duke, and if he is reduced by one level, he is still a marquis. How can he become an ordinary person after all?"
These soldiers were here to avenge Xu Yunyan, but Xu Yunyan hurriedly waved his hands at them.
"Okay, stop talking. It's very valuable that I can retain such an identity. It's already a blessing to have my head not beheaded."
Xu Yunyan laughed so self-deprecatingly?
However, Xu Yunyan didn't care about these official positions. He was promoted to the governor not long after he became an official, and then demoted from the governor. Now it's just a repetition.
Although Xu Yunyan was very open-minded, the proud and powerful generals under his command were not convinced.
"General, we are doing the same thing as you. Why do we have a position and you are the prince? Your majesty's personal prince still has the national surname Li. How can this be so?"
Xu Yunyan smiled and shook his head, "Isn't this still the surname Li now? It's just that the title has been reduced, and the rank has returned to what it was a few years ago. It's not a big deal. It's just that I am assigned to Qiongzhou. From now on, you will definitely stay in Chang'an City We must protect His Majesty well and never let anyone take advantage of us.”
Xu Yunyan didn't care whether these words would be heard by these caring people and tell those who would target him. Instead, he was here to persuade these arrogant and powerful generals under his command. Xu Yunyan knew his temper clearly. If If I don't give my instructions, these arrogant and powerful generals will definitely bring great disaster to me.
After finally getting the title, I couldn't cut my position to serve the people. At that time, they didn't have the same treatment as me. It was impossible to retain some official positions. It was very likely that these seventeen guys would be taken over.
After receiving the order, Xu Yunyan said goodbye to them and left, planning to go home and take his family to Qiongzhou. Now he didn't think about anything and didn't do anything, no matter if the landslide or the earth would collapse in the future.
Although I am very unwilling to do so, the Weishui Alliance will happen in two months. If I still have the strength to fight in the capital, it is not impossible for me to defeat Jieli Khan again with my foresight, but I think that I have I defeated Jie Li in the North Land, will this happen again now? Xu Yunyan didn't think too much about it.
"My family and life are still important now. If I continue to mess around in Chang'an City, I might drag my relatives down, so I'd better go out in advance to avoid trouble.
With such a level, in the turbulent era of the Tang Dynasty, he could always create a different style. "
After Xu Yunyan said this, he walked out of the prison in a bloody armor and walked towards his home. Fortunately, it was already night and there were not many pedestrians on the road, otherwise Xu Yunyan would definitely scare people like this.
But even if it doesn't scare anyone like this at night, it's not good to scare the flowers and other plants.
Xu Yunyan laughed to himself and arrived at the Xuanwu Gate not long after walking.
"Why didn't I know that Tianlao and Xuanwu Gate are really close!"
Xu Yunyan smiled and shook his head, and continued to walk forward. Xuanwu Gate was still brightly lit, and it did not look like it had experienced a battle during the day.
Group after group of soldiers wearing armor patrolled back and forth on the city, and a general at the city gate heard a slight sound of armor rubbing from a street corner in the distance.
Turning his head to look, he saw a vaguely recognizable figure, but in the darkness it was not clear what rank he was. As a guard, he could not help but wave his hand quickly to fulfill his duties.
"Come on, come up and see what's going on!"
A pair of soldiers quickly rushed forward with torches and surrounded Xu Yunyan tightly, as if they were afraid that he would run out for no reason. The captain guarding the Xuanwu Gate hurriedly stepped forward and saw Xu Yunyan. Then he knelt down with a plop.
"The last general has seen the Lord Guard!"
As he said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong and stood up awkwardly, "This...general, I don't know how you became like this? Now the guard has been given to Chang He by the decree conveyed from above. I don't know what the general is now." No matter who you are, we can pay homage to you."
Seeing a familiar soldier from the Xuanwu Sect who cared about him ask this question, Xu Yunyan laughed twice. Before he could say his identity, another rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind.
As the sound of horse hooves sounded, everyone turned their heads to see what was going on. The cavalry was already approaching.
And the soldier on the horse held the whip in his hand with great power, crowded the soldiers in the encirclement and came forward to ask.
"Is that Li Ying, the former King of Han, in front of you?"
The cavalryman's words shocked everyone present. King of Han? Isn't this Xu Yunyan, the guard of Xuanwumen, his own general? How did he suddenly become Li Ying, the king of Han Dynasty?
When Xu Yunyan heard his new name being called, he hurriedly clasped his fists and lowered his head.
"The guilty party is none other than Li Ying!"
"Okay, as expected, it is you, His Highness the King of Han, who has offended me."
As they said this, Xu Yunyan still didn't understand what was going on, and the soldiers of Xuanwu Sect were even more surprised here. When they were wondering what was going on with the prince, they listened to the shouts of the cavalry soldiers.
"Come on, hold His Highness the King of Han down for me. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the king will be dethroned as a commoner and will be whipped nine times, and the pride of the king will be beaten away."
After the cavalryman finished speaking, a group of wolf-like and tiger-like cavalrymen stepped forward and pushed Xu Yunyan to the ground, and the cavalry leader took out a golden whip from his arms.
"Please ask your majesty to whip the King of Han with your holy whip, and strike away the arrogance of the king."
After the cavalry leader said this, he slipped the golden whip in his hand in the air, and the sound was harsh, but it was light when it hit Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan didn't know whether it was because he was feeling uncomfortable now and didn't feel it, or because he was wearing armor. When the nine whips hit, the cavalryman stepped forward and looked at Xu Yunyan apologetically.
"Your Highness, the King of Han, don't blame me. This is just what I was ordered to do. Please take care of me, Your Highness, the King of Han."
After the cavalry finished speaking, he raised his hand, "The holy whip has been finished, let's go back and resume our lives."
As they left, the captain guarding the Xuanwu Gate looked at Xu Yunyan in confusion.
It's wrong to call him General Xu, and it's even more impossible to call him Li Ying. Calling him Prince has also been reduced to an ordinary person now. Just when he was here wondering what to do, the imperial edict that Xu Yunyan had just whipped fell to the ground.
The guard captain hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up. From this corner, he could see the title of General Yunhui, the fourth-grade Zhongwu General.
Seeing the title, the guard captain hurriedly made a ceremony here.
"The last general and others meet with General Zhongwu. Here we are waiting for General Zhongwu to return as king again."
They said this with sincerity. After all, it was Xu Yunyan who trained him. Because of Xu Yunyan's training, they were able to achieve what they have today.
Xu Yunyan looked at them and shook his head, "Come back again? I don't dare to do that. I could lose my head if I'm not careful."
Xu Yunyan laughed awkwardly and walked past them toward his home next to Xuanwu Gate.
