Return of the Swallow

Pang Xiao's people did things very neatly and sent Qin Huaiyuan back to the city safely in the early morning.

Qin Huaiyuan stepped on the morning light and went to see Yu Chiyan without hesitation.

He is not a stubborn person, knowing that the situation is over, he still needs to learn from his loyal ministers to die.

After so many years of survival under Taihuang's hand, several ups and downs, Qin Huaiyuan has transformed from a pure and innocent person full of ideals to a person who now knows how to consider his family.

Since he knew he couldn't beat the Great Zhou, it was better to think about how to get the most benefit for the emperor.

Yu Chiyan is in a good mood today. Perhaps because of seeing Qin Yining yesterday, she can still remember Qin Yining's docile appearance when he lowered his eyebrows when he closed his eyes.

More perhaps, after meeting Qin Yining, some inherent attachments in his mind were finally shattered.Yu Chiyan felt as if she had been stripped of the heavy shackles, and her whole body began to lighten up from the inside.

"Emperor, please see Taishi Qin."

"Quickly please." Wei Chiyan had something to say to Qin Huaiyuan, and the answer was a little eager.

Not long after, Qin Huai walked into the imperial study room quickly and saluted: "The minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor and health."

"Flat body, give it a seat." Yu Chiyan smiled.

Qin Huaiyuan thanked him, and sat down in the official hat chair brought by the little servants, and said with a smile: "The look of the emperor, there seems to be something happy today?"

Yu Chiyan smiled and said: "It's not that there is something happy, but that I really figured out some things and felt a lot lighter in my heart. You are here today. Even if you don't, I will declare you to come."

When Qin Huaiyuan saw that Yu Chiyan seemed very interested, he asked cooperatively, "What did the emperor figure out?"

Yu Chiyan stood up and said with a serious face: "Yesterday we went on a tour in the micro-services. After walking in the city for a long time, I saw the tragedy of the city."

Seeing that the emperor's brows were furrowed, Qin Huai knelt down and said, "We are incompetent, so we can't share the worries for the emperor."

"No, you have done very well." Yu Chiyan helped Qin Huaiyuan stand up and said, "Master Qin has done a lot for me and for the people of Dayan. The only blame is that the sky is not blessed, and the time and place are favorable. Neither of us accounted for it."

Yu Chiyan smiled bitterly: "When my father handed over the throne to me, he didn't actually value my talents. It was just that he had no other successor to help him carry the scapegoat. He hid a lot of money and put one The empty shell was thrown to me because he wanted to save capital for a comeback in the future. Once the Great Yan Dynasty was defeated, he would not be the shameful king of subjugation. When the time comes, the meticulous history and writing will only record that I was the last emperor of the Great Yan. "

Speaking of this, Yu Chiyan closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and said, "It's true that my heart is full of resentment. I have never received any love in my father's body. As I grow up slowly, my father When the emperor looked at me, what he saw was not his father's liking for his son, but a deep jealousy.

"I know that he is afraid that I will take his place. The concern he has given me is not as much as the emperor's uncle. Sometimes I hope that the emperor's uncle will come to sit in Dayan's country, and maybe he won't get to the end so quickly. . But everything is too late."

Wei Chiyan turned her back to Qin Huaiyuan, not wanting Qin Huai to see her cowardly tears.But his strong nasal voice has revealed the fact that he is crying as an emperor and as a man.

Qin Huaiyuan knelt on the ground again, quietly listening to Yu Chiyan's confession, feeling a sorrow in his heart.

When Taihuang was in power, he was more than jealous of Yu Chiyan, he was jealous of everyone!Not only Yu Chiyan alone feels painful?As a courtier, he devoted most of his life to the imperial court. Wasn't he being played by the emperor between applause, wanting to kill, want to praise?

He can understand Yu Chiyan's pain.Because he also suffered the same pain, the kind of pain that was entrusted to be inhuman, and his ambitions could not be displayed. Perhaps the pain of not getting his father's attention was not much worse, right?

"I went out yesterday and saw the scene of Yi Zi eating." Yu Chiyan's voice trembled. "I personally watched an old woman in ragged clothes gnawing on the hand of a half-baked child... I really wanted to kill myself!

I don't want to be the king of subjugation, so I have been reluctant to admit my failure, and clenched my teeth until now, but for the sake of my ridiculous self-esteem, it is innocent people.Taishi Qin, I was wrong.From the beginning, I was wrong."

Yu Chiyan turned around with tears in her face, but her eyes were unprecedentedly firm: "From the very beginning, I shouldn't plunge the people into deep waters just for my own benefit. As an emperor, I cannot seek happiness for the people, but To use the people as a tool for me to build a position, what is the difference between me and my father? The same selfishness, the same stupidity."

"Emperor, you have done well." Qin Huaiyuan persuaded: "If you had ascended the throne ten years earlier, Dayan would never die. When you took over, there were some things that could not be undone. No wonder you."

Qin Huaiyuan's persuasion was actually exaggerated, because Yu Chiyan's talents were really limited.

But this sentence was the most timely affirmation for Yu Chiyan when he was most self-denying.

Yu Chiyan felt that as long as one person could understand him, he would not be so wronged if he became the king of the country and saved the lives of the remaining people in the city.

"Master Qin, thank you very much." Yu Chiyan laughed, but tears were flowing. He said with a thick nasal voice, "I can no longer be selfish. I can't let everyone be buried with my throne. I decided to surrender to Da Zhou. ."

"The emperor..." Qin Huaiyuan's voice choked.

Although he knew that there would be such a result, once this decision was made, the country Qin Huaiyuan spent most of his life defending was equivalent to perishing.What perishes at the same time is the hard work and youth he put in, and many great dreams of youthful spirits.

He was sad and helpless.

But he is not an emotional person.The general situation is gone is the general situation is gone, and there is no way to return to the sky, then you have to think of another way out.

"The emperor." Qin Huaiyuan wiped a tear, and tremblingly took out the envelope from her arms, and said, "The minister got up early this morning and found that there was something on the pillow. When he opened it, it was really... the emperor, the minister did not dare Nonsense, please see the emperor."

Yu Chiyan was startled when he heard the words, hesitantly accepted the letter, and after unfolding it and reading it carefully, her thin and pale face was already devoid of humanity.

Although he had already decided to surrender, he decided that it was different from the feeling of surrendering after being betrayed.

"These people are really, good, good, they are my good courtiers, they are my good father-in-law." The emperor screamed up to the sky and wailed loudly. "The generals have rebelled, the ministers have turned half, even my father-in-law betrayed. Come on! My country has fallen, so what are you going to fight? What can I do besides grabbing?"

Qin Huaiyuan was sad for the past, and closed his eyes and wept.

The monarch and the minister cried like this.

At this time, they did not notice that, outside the Imperial Study Room, Queen Li Yanyan quietly retreated, gave the emperor's Minister Lu a wink, and left quickly.

Grandpa Lu lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't seen the queen at all.
