Ye Liangping's military camp is extremely large and his guard is even more intense.

At this time, Xiao Yuanjing rode a war horse, and his subordinates behind him dragged a carriage and slowly drove into Ye Liangping's military camp.

Ye Liangping, who had already learned the news in advance, and the middle and high-level generals in the army, stood in front of the camp one by one, waiting.

Xiao Yuanjing stopped the war horse and looked at the hundreds of generals in front of him. The first one was Ye Liangping.

Xiao Yuanjing also thought in his heart that Ye Liangping was willing.

Ye Liangping naturally received the news that Xiao Yuanjing sent someone to spread in advance. At this time, he brought these generals, so he naturally wanted to show them an explanation given to them by Emperor Yan.

"Discharging irrelevant personnel." Xiao Yuanjing said lightly without expression.

Ye Liangping nodded and turned around to give instructions. There were still many ordinary soldiers guarding him.

The senior officials and powerful people of Yan State can know how Xiao Yuanshen died, but they cannot spread it on a large scale, which also damages the majesty of the royal family.

"Mr. Marquis, take a look." Xiao Yuanjing pointed to the carriage behind him and spoke.

Ye Liangping nodded slightly, then slowly came to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked inside, it was Xiao Yuanshen's body.

Ye Liangping suddenly became a little excited.

He hurriedly knelt down in the direction of Yanjing, kowtowed loudly and said, "Thank you for your father's sake!"

After saying that, he kowtowed hard.

Even though he had guessed in advance that Emperor Yan would take Xiao Yuanshen to his father for his life.

But when Xiao Yuanshen's body was placed in front of him, he still couldn't believe it. After all, this was the former prince.

Many generals also had good eyes. When they saw Xiao Yuanshen's corpse in the carriage, their expressions changed slightly.

However, this result did not exceed their expectations.

Their 400,000 troops were approaching. Emperor Yan knew what they wanted and did not send anyone to negotiate terms. As soon as Xiao Yuanjing came, he promised to pay the prince's life.

Xiao Yuanjing naturally couldn't make the decision, this was what Emperor Yan meant.

Although Xiao Yuanshen was the crown prince of Yan, he used his life to stabilize the country of Yan. This deal was very cost-effective.

"Everyone, lead the army back to Dalin County!" Ye Liangping said with a serious expression: "I will stay and apologize to Your Majesty!"

Ye Liangping is a loyal and kind person. The reason why he did such a thing was that he was forced to do it.

As the saying goes, rabbits still bite people when they are anxious.

Listening to Ye Liangping's words, the generals frowned one by one.

"Marty, you are now the leader of my Western Army! You can't go!" A general said first.

At this time, the army was approaching, and Emperor Yan handed over Xiao Yuanshen's order. If Ye Liangping went to Yan Palace alone to apologize, who would know what Emperor Yan would do?

At this time, Xiao Yuanjing said, "Mr., you don't have to blame yourself. This matter starts from Xiao Yuanshen. From the beginning to the end, Your Majesty has never blamed you."

Listening to Xiao Yuanjing's words, Ye Liangping looked ashamed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm not to hide it. I know that my decision at that time almost made Yan State fall into a place of doom."

"If the men sent by the prince had not been to Qi State to burn a large area of ​​Qi State's grain field and left Zhao Lingxing's army without food to fight, I would probably have brought a catastrophe to Yan State."

After a pause, Ye Liangping took a deep breath and said, "I, Ye Liangping, are a military man. I only know that Xiao Yuanshen is the crown prince. If I make a mistake, I will die. Of course, I will have to bear the mistakes myself."

Xiao Yuanjing looked at Ye Liangping's eyes deeply and laughed: "Since he is a man in the army, don't be so pretentious. Just lead the Western Army to guard Dalin County. Remember, the development of grain in Qi is now just a shortage of food and grass. You can retreat temporarily, and Quanshangcheng is still in the hands of Qi."

"As long as the country of Qi is rich enough, it can attack Yan at any time!"

"Yes." Ye Liangping said in a deep voice: "Qi State wants to take Dalin County, unless it steps over my body!"

Ye Liangping was not too long-winded and quickly ordered the army to clean up and rush back to Dalin County the next day.

As for Xiao Yuanshen's body, Xiao Yuanjing sighed and asked someone to send it directly to the imperial tomb for burial.

If Xiao Yuanshen was still the prince and died, he would naturally hold a grand funeral, but his current identity is only the prince.

And the way of dying is quite unbearable.

Although everyone knows that this is what Xiao Yuanshen made a mistake and did it himself.

But in the eyes of many people, it was the Emperor Yan who sacrificed Xiao Yuanshen to stabilize the country. Although he did this, no one could say that Emperor Yan did something wrong.

But reputation is always bad.

So it's just that people can bury it.

After all the busy schedules, the sky was already dim. Xiao Yuanjing was riding a horse and wanted to return to his palace, but when he first arrived at the palace.

But I saw Huang Zishi standing at the door.

"Eunuch Huang?" Xiao Yuanshen dismounted: "Is there anything wrong?"

Huang Zishi sighed and said, "Your Majesty wants you to enter the palace, Prince, he wants to talk to you if he has something to do."

Listening to Huang Zishi's words, Xiao Yuanjing also vaguely guessed that Emperor Yan might want to talk to him about something.

His eyes sank for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Yuanshen and Huang Zishi soon returned to the palace and came to the imperial study room.

In the imperial study, Emperor Yan sat on the dragon throne in a bad mood.

"Father." Xiao Yuanjing said respectfully.

Emperor Yan slowly looked up, looked at Xiao Yuanjing, and said, "Yuanjing, do you want to sit on this throne?"

When Xiao Yuanjing heard this, his eyebrows frowned and said, "Father is joking, you know what I think."

Listening to Xiao Yuanjing's words, a hint of pity appeared in Emperor Yan's eyes, and he said, "Ah."

Emperor Yan really felt a strong sense of helplessness now.

At this time, Xiao Yuanjing said, "But my son has a recommendation."

Hearing Xiao Yuanjing's words, Emperor Yan asked slowly: "Yuanlong?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yuanjing nodded and said, "Emperor Yuanlong is also very popular with civil servants. If he becomes the crown prince, he can be a civil servant, and I can help him as a military general."

"Everyone is safe in civil and military affairs, why worry about the prosperity of our country of Yan?"

Listening to Xiao Yuanjing's words, Emperor Yan frowned and said, "But Yuanlong has been back a few years ago. He has lived more in the mountains and fields before. I'm afraid he won't be able to take on the great responsibility."

"Father, among our many princes, only the Emperor Yuanlong knows the hearts of the people best. He comes from the people and knows what the people think. If he ascends the throne, the Kingdom of Yan will flourish."

Emperor Yan closed his eyes and said, "I'll think about it again."

In his opinion, the best choice is Xiao Yuanjing...

Under the current circumstances, if Xiao Yuanjing wants to ascend the throne, no one will say no.
