Fostering apprentices

The jade hand took the teapot and poured a cup of tea into the teacup: "The emperor pays attention to peace and recuperates, so he doubled the military salaries of the soldiers. The military salaries of the soldiers are not much at all. Who the hell will cut it down like this?" If you want to come to recruit soldiers, don’t those in the past just say that I did not believe what I said in Nanling?”

"Reduce the military pay... what about the civil servants?" Mu Chu asked, frowning.

"With the same reduction, those bastards can get hundreds of taels of silver by moving their mouths. Even if the reduction is reduced, the greedy ones can get fatter." The monthly salary of the officials in the court is only a little bit, But the sum of their external products can be said to be twice as much as the empress's salary.

The high-ranking ones didn't care about these things, and those low-ranking humble children might not even be able to support themselves, and doing so would undoubtedly be a blow to the soldiers in the barracks.

The emperor's order is hard to disobey. Since the emperor has already issued an order, they have no room for redemption. The emperor wants him to know that the world still belongs to their Yun family, and take this opportunity to declare his power and majesty.

However, the army is the foundation of Nanling's establishment of a country. This imperial decree may dissatisfy many military camps, especially those soldiers who have just entered.

Yan Nan felt a little headache. It is good to be diligent and thrifty, but he shouldn't use his own soldiers to attack him.

"Master, don't think too much about it. Whether it's a mule or a horse, he has to take it out. As for whether this policy can be implemented, there will be results in the future." Seeing his frowning, Mu Chu stretched out his hand to caress him Gently pressed his forehead: "The Yan family is powerful and holds military power in their hands. If he was not afraid when Yun Jing was there before, how about a person holding a long knife by his side now, who is not afraid?" ?”

"If he really can't, you can..."

"Impossible thing." Yan Nan interrupted him, he naturally knew what Mu Chu wanted to say.

——Overthrow the new owner of Nanling and establish himself as emperor.

If it was really a last resort at that time, he would do so, but the Yan family would never be able to sit on the land of Nanling.

Besides, the current Nanling is not as peaceful as it seems to outsiders. There are battles between civil and military officials above the court, and various natural disasters outside the court. He can save ten places, but he can't save all the places.

He had encountered famine years before, if it really came to that point, then Nanling would really be over.

Yan Nan sighed lightly, with bursts of pain coming from his head, to rule the country, one must first settle down, and now there are still a group of wolves, tigers and leopards in the Yan family that have not been dealt with, how can he devote himself to other things?

"Come with me to the Nuan Pavilion in the afternoon, and it's time for the opera over there to start singing."

"it is good."

In the prime minister's mansion, just as the prime minister stepped into the mansion, there was already a person standing in the yard, wearing a mask and only seeing a pair of cold eyes, he smiled at the prime minister, and casually drew out the long sword in his hand and put it on his neck.

"I don't know what mistake my subordinate has made, so I trouble you to come here in person?"

"Wrong?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the eyes of the man in black. He looked down at the kneeling man on the ground and said with disdain, "Li Xiang, what did the master tell you? How dare you let the poisonous snake into the general?" House?"

He leaned over and lifted the prime minister's chin, and the long sword in his hand never left the prime minister's neck: "You know that the master's taboo is snakes, but you deliberately let the Chilian king snake in, what do you think is your intention?"

Li Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes were full of shock, he clearly did it so seamlessly, how could he be seen through so quickly?

Was it Yan Nan's idea, or did Mu Chu distrust him from the very beginning, this time just to test his loyalty?

"You really think the master is a good-tempered person? Haven't you seen his methods before?"

Li Xiang slumped on the ground, his face was full of shock, he had seen that person's cruelty, even worse than his father, who could reshuffle the entire court overnight, To be able to evacuate all the influence of the surrounding princes within a few days, this person is destined to be an emperor through the ages.

His means and his resourcefulness are unparalleled.

Apart from……

"No matter what, Yan Nan must die." There was a flash of determination in his eyes, even if he took this life, Yan Nan must die.

"Do you still remember what the national teacher predicted?"

The man in black was stunned, with some strange gleams in his eyes, he withdrew his long sword, and said in a cold voice, "It's just a charlatan who confuses people with his lies in order to survive."

"Then is it a coincidence that he predicted that Dongyue will suffer disaster? Two emperor stars are born, and one of them will lose its light. What we have to do is to let Dongyue, the emperor star, hang on the night forever, Let its light be immortal."

"Yan Nan planned to kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Dongyue seven years ago. The first emperor and empress died for the country, and then planned to kill hundreds of thousands of soldiers when Mobei and Dongyue were fighting. If the master hadn't known in advance After seeing his plan, my lord can think about what those dead soldiers' corpses will bring to Dongyue?"

"The plague is widespread, and the people of Dongyue will die at that time, so Yan Nan must die, and his blood must be used to commemorate the dead soldiers of Dongyue."

The man in black remained silent for a long time with a sullen face. He closely watched the excited expression on Li Xiang's face, but he couldn't find any flaws.

"Then do you know what will happen to the master if you kill Yan Nan? Don't talk about you and me, everyone in the secret pavilion will die by then. Besides, the incident seven years ago has nothing to do with Yan Nan. Isn't it very clear?"

"Li Xiang, I only let you live because of your loyalty to the late emperor. The master has his plan. You'd better be sensible. Don't know what's good and what's wrong, and bring yourself to perish."

Now that the master has let go, what do they servants have to say? The matter of the former emperor has already been clearly stated in that secret decree. Otherwise, how could the master change the whole plan.

Even if it ruins his own way, he will be the most innocent young man by Yan Nan's side.

The plan he drew up included everyone in it, and everyone would know the truth of the matter, except Yan Nan, because he was afraid, afraid that Yan Nan would break away from him when he got revenge.

This plan started from the first time he saw Yan Nan five years ago, but he didn't expect that this plan would be completely changed in the end.

The master's obsession with Yan Nan has reached various levels. They don't know, maybe even he himself doesn't know. After the first emperor died, he was secretly sent out of the palace, and how many people outside the palace wanted his life. Walked over in one step and survived among the dead.

I remember the first time I saw this young man, holding a long knife in his hand, the blood on the blade fell to the ground drop by drop. The young man was only 34 years old, but his killing spirit was very heavy. Later, he came into contact with , this boy is much deeper than they imagined.

But it has two sides.

He didn't understand what was in Yan Nan that melted away the obsession of the master. In short, they could only obey the orders of the master.

When he was going out in the afternoon, Yan Nan arranged for a few servants to follow him, and specifically explained that he was going to the Nuan Pavilion to discuss matters. He looked at the figure in the dark with a little coldness in his eyes.

Suddenly, with a sound of "Oops", he lay on Mu Chu's arms, his delicate facial features were all clenched together, it seemed to be in pain.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yan Nan clutched his chest, his face looked extremely pale, but these were illusions created by forcing him with internal force, in order to get out of here now.

He clutched his chest and raised his voice: "I feel like my stomach hurts..."

Mu Chu: "..." He sighed helplessly. Fortunately, he covered his chest to block the sight of the people over there. Who said his stomach hurts while covering his chest?

He stretched out his hand to caress his master's abdomen, and asked with a worried face: "Did I eat my stomach? Or I won't go to the Nuan Pavilion today, and I'm not an important person anyway."

"Who said, isn't your third uncle important? Since he invited me over, I'm sure... hiss... it hurts."

Yan Nan deliberately revealed the name of his third uncle. In the Yan family, the third uncle and uncle were in the same camp. The younger uncle seemed to care about him, but he was still in the same camp as them behind the scenes. He wanted to move the uncle and uncle. The relationship between them is not easy, but the third uncle is different, after all, he used to be a contender for the head of the family, and he does not fight or grab on the surface, but everyone thinks that the other party is unhappy with the deeds he does behind the scenes.

Especially the recent news that there was a traitor between them will make them suspicious of each other.

And the third uncle has the least power, so they naturally want to use the younger one first.

Mu Chu cooperated with him in acting, there were already people they had arranged in the Nuan Pavilion, and Yan Shu often lingered in the Nuan Pavilion, so as long as they got in at the right time, they would naturally arouse suspicion.

On the bright side, they will not tear their faces apart, but behind the scenes, they will gradually divide the camps.

Breaking them down one by one is Master's strategy, but what should Yan Hui and Yan Hua do after Yan Shu is dealt with?

"How about Master, I'll go over. Anyway, the third uncle said to invite the two of us, so I will go over too."

Yan Nan "thought" for a while, then nodded, and was helped back to the room by his servants, while Mu Chu led some servants to Nuan Pavilion.

After hearing the information, the people in the dark immediately returned to their yards to report what they had heard.

"What, the youngest boy formed an alliance with that boy Yan Nan?" Yan Hua threw the cup in his hand to the ground and shattered it. He angrily pointed at the people standing beside him and shouted: "Look, look, I Just say that the third child is unreliable, and now that kid Yan Nan comes back, he will fall over there."

"This is the good ally you are looking for!"

Yan Hui's gaze was slightly cold. He never thought that the third brother, who had always been ambitious, would join Yan Nan so soon. However, there were too many doubts about this matter, and it was not enough for people to be completely sure.
