Chapter 609 Life and Death Decision

Yan Heng was sent back and fell ill that day. Ming Yu, who had been sick for a long time, heard about this and couldn't help but go to see him. "You should change your temper. Even if you want to give advice, it's not like this." Persuaded.”

Yan Heng was disheartened and said in a deep voice: "The general has changed and his authority has become dim. I should have known it. Ever since Gou Chun attacked Zhao Hanzhang but was not severely punished, the general's heart has changed."

Mingyu fell silent and asked after a while: "What are you going to do?"

Yan Heng lowered his eyes and thought for a long time. When he raised his eyes again, he was much more determined and said, "I want to write a letter to remonstrate."

He said: "For the last time, if he can change his mind, I will assist him as before. If... it still happens like this, then I will leave and go into seclusion in the mountains and forests from now on, and never care about worldly affairs again."

Ming Yu frowned, "Remonstrating with a book is more than words. If it angers him..."

Yan Heng didn't care, "This isn't the first time I've angered him."

He said softly: "I have been with him for fifteen years, and all my life's wishes have been placed on him. I am not willing to accept it. I am not willing to accept it."

Yan Heng's tears rolled down, "My lord, my Ming Gong, my general, how could he become like this?"

Yan Heng would not be willing to give in if he didn’t work hard.

Ming Yu had no objection, and he was unwilling to accept it, so he said, "You can write it. If it doesn't work, you and I will go into seclusion together."

Yan Heng got up from the hospital bed and wrote a letter of remonstrance.

He started writing from the past. Gou Xi was so good in the past. He was fair and selfless. Even if his cousin broke the law and his aunt, whom he always regarded as his own mother, knelt in front of him to plead for mercy, he showed no mercy. Should he be executed? Behead.

Then he preferred to wear mourning clothes and cry in mourning, saying simply: "The one who kills the governor of Yanzhou is the one who kills the prince, and the one who weeps for the younger brother is the Taoist general."

He was so upright and honest that he was incompatible with the ministers in the court, but because of this he was pardoned when King Qi was questioned. He really couldn't understand why Gou Xi had changed today?

Yan Heng sighed about the past, just to arouse Gou Xi's fighting spirit and let him not forget their original intention and their former character.

He hoped that Gou Xi could disperse the servants and maids at home, send Leren back to his place of origin, and enter the palace to serve the emperor in plain clothes...

Yan Heng wrote a lot eloquently and revised it all night. Finally, with a blue face, he handed the finished manuscript to his subordinates, and Yin Yin warned: "Send it to the general quickly."

If it was in the past, Yan Heng wrote a letter, then Gou Xi would definitely open it and read it immediately, but now, let alone the people around him who would not let Yan Heng's letter dampen his interest, even if no one stopped him, he would How can you have time to deal with official duties when you are fast asleep?

Therefore, Yan Heng's illness became more and more serious, but there was no news. Instead, Zhao Zhongyu found out what happened between them.

After learning that Yan Heng actually gave Gou Xi a letter of advice, he wandered around the study.

He was torn in his heart at this time. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to add fuel to the flames and let Gou Xi kill Yan Heng so that he could lose his arm; but he was also afraid that this would weaken the Jin Dynasty and allow foreign enemies to take advantage of it.

After all, Gou Xi is not Zhao Hanzhang's first enemy, the Huns in the north are. Gou Xi is strong, which is detrimental to Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family, but his weakness is also detrimental to Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family.

How to choose this?

Zhao Zhongyu walked around, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Zhao Ji came back from outside with a gloomy face. Zhao Zhongyu saw it, frowned slightly, stopped him and said, "Where have you been?"

Zhao Jidao: "General Gou is hosting a banquet. I just came back from the banquet."

Zhao Zhongyu asked: "Is this a public banquet?"

"No, it's a private banquet," Zhao Ji said, "My son just went to join in the fun. It's still lively there now."

Zhao Zhongyu pricked up his ears and listened. The two houses were not far away. He could still vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the other side. He pursed his lips and made up his mind. That's it. Gou Xi had already been stunned by the force. After Yan Heng is killed, there will be no one to restrain him. If the Huns really invade the south again, who will resist?

So let Yan Heng live.

Zhao Zhongyu thought about it and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, leaving Zhao Ji standing where he was.

Zhao Ji pursed his lips, turned and left.

No matter how long Zhao Zhongyu's hand was, he couldn't reach Gou Xi, but he could use his strength, so he found an official. During a banquet, he contacted the captain who threw Yan Heng into the water and said: " Colonel Zhen, I heard that Yan Heng wrote to the general the next day after you threw him into the water."

The captain snorted coldly, "Now that he has fallen out of favor, the generals no longer believe in him."

"No, no, the general fought in the north and south, and Yan Heng made great contributions. Although he is not serving in the court, he has always been the general's confidant. Now it's just that Yan Heng's words are not pleasant, and the general is annoyed with him. After waiting for a while, When the general thinks of his kindness, the two of them will naturally get back together."

He said: "When the time comes, Commander Zhen will tell you, will the general be on your side or on his side?"

The captain's expression changed, and it was naturally Yan Heng's turn.

Yan Heng was a close confidant of the general, and he once suggested killing the general's brother, but Gou Chun also took advantage of someone who had no way of doing anything about him.

"Then what should I do?"

The other party whispered: "The general is moody now. It's not easy to complain to him, but wouldn't it be easy to find a way to put away the letter he sent so that the general can't see it?"

"As long as the general doesn't see the letter, he will naturally not remember Yan Henglai, and he won't blame you, Captain, for him."

Captain Zhen felt that what he said was right, so he secretly bribed the clerk who was organizing the documents and asked him to collect Yan Heng's letter.

But it is impossible to put it away. Gou Xi governs the army strictly. Even if he has fallen now, the rules are always there. Every letter that comes into the account is counted, and the officials do not dare to put it away privately.

Once discovered, given their general's previous harshness, he would definitely be chopped down.

So even though he accepted the money, the letter with unknown contents was still on the file, but it was placed at the bottom.

Every time a new one was sent, he was at the bottom.

With the speed at which Gou Xi handles government affairs now, this letter may not reach Gou Xi's eyes in this lifetime.

Neither he nor Lieutenant Zhen knew that this was a letter of remonstrance that could cost Yan Heng his life.

But Zhao Zhongyu knew.

Yan Heng thought he knew Gou Xi, but what he knew was the former Gou Xi. In the past, if Gou Xi saw such a remonstrance, he might have burst into tears and then repented and corrected himself.

But now Gou Xi, judging from Zhao Zhongyu's understanding, would only get angry and kill Yan Heng directly.

Anyway, Zhao Zhongyu judged others by himself. If his staff scolded him like this, he would definitely kill him. Now Gou Xi is as small as him.

When Zhao Zhongyu realized it, he scolded himself in his heart. He shook his head, drove these thoughts out of his mind, and began to write a letter to Zhao Hanzhang in a deep voice.

He had to tell her that if she thought it would be better for Yan Heng to die, he could continue to operate. In fact, he was still not sure whether Yan Heng's life would do more good than harm or more harm than good.

Gou Xi is too powerful. In fact, Yan Heng is dead, so it would be good to weaken his power.

After hesitating like this, Zhao Zhongyu simply wrote to Zhao Hanzhang and asked her to make up her own mind.

Good night
