[Crossing Books] The author is trying to clean up every day

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

At this time, Yan Jia could no longer keep his promise to his mother and concubine.

He often thought, since they were born from the same root, why should they be in such a rush? No matter how suspicious the emperor was, he would let them go to Prince Xi's residence for the sake of brotherhood.

However, what the emperor did still disappointed him.

Unexpectedly, Prince Xi nodded and said, "Father has exactly that intention."

The father and son conspired all night about the big event. In the end, they considered the overall situation. Prince Xi would go to the South China Sea as usual, just to mediate the situation there.

He didn't want to fight the battle of the South China Sea, and those mermaids were also helpless. If they were allowed to send the Ninth Prince back safely, they would gladly retreat.

Most of the generals in the South China Sea came from Prince Xi's battalion, and Prince Xi could just use the name of repelling the mermaids to gather troops and force them directly into the inner palace.

The night was dark, the servant girl held a lamp to light the way for Yan An, stepped into the corridor in the courtyard, the lights were brightly lit everywhere, Yan An asked the servant girl to go back, and there was no need to follow.

He yawned and pushed open the door, and the first thing he saw was Chi Xianhuai sitting at the table with his chin propped up.

The other party obviously had been waiting for a long time, Yan An asked, "When did you come?"

"One or two hours."

Chi Xianhuai's voice was inexplicably hoarse, and Yan An asked strangely, "Are you catching a cold?"

Chi Xianhuai is a martial artist, so it is impossible to catch a cold, but what he found out today was too shocking, and he couldn't control his emotions.

"Is that a fire?" Yan An walked up to him, opened the stool and sat down.

Chi Xianhuai shook his head, he wanted to say that the king's heart is unpredictable, the emperor is ruthless, even if Prince Xi's mansion did not intend to rebel, the emperor still couldn't tolerate them.

Yan An was taken aback by Chi Xianhuai, "What's wrong with you? You went out for a day, and when you came back, you looked at me like this and didn't speak, but what happened?"

Chi Xianhuai did not answer immediately, but said in a vague way: "There are really many stories about farmers and snakes. If An An is that farmer, he knows that he will be bitten by a snake. On the body of the snake?"

"Of course not."

"Okay, then I feel something important for you now, don't be nervous."

Yan An looked at Chi Xianhuai's serious expression, nodded and said, "Say it."

Chi Xianhuai pursed his lips and collected all the news he had found.

Tell Yan An.

Yan An knew about this in advance and was not too surprised.

He hummed, and didn't hide anything from Chi Xianhuai, and said directly: "I stayed with my father for so long tonight, just to discuss this matter."

Chi Xianhuai nodded, "What does your lord think about this matter?"

Yan An roughly stated their general thoughts, and Chi Xianhuai agreed.

This move can be said to be a tactic to delay the attack, and when the time comes, the emperor can be caught off guard.

……

In the following days, Prince Xi continued to train soldiers as usual.

Everything seems to be calm, but in fact it is already turbulent.

On the day Prince Xi led his troops to the South China Sea, the emperor couldn't wait to send Chi Xianhuai to remote areas.

Chi Xianhuai declined the emperor on the grounds that he was seriously injured. The emperor was furious and suspended Chi Xianhuai's position in the court that day.

Everyone sighed, but Chi Xianhuai himself complied without changing his face.

It doesn't matter if he suspends his position, he just happens to be able to share some of the bills for Yan'an. These days, Yan'an is preparing a lot of food, and except for the rest at night, he doesn't even have time to drink saliva all day long.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it snowed the night before the New Year's Eve.

There were two heaters in the banquet room, not to mention a big heater hugging him to sleep, so naturally he didn't wake up from the cold.

Snow is nothing to the rich and powerful, but it is a pain for the common people who don't even have warm quilts.

In the 32nd year of Yuankang, there was an epidemic in Wenzhou. The officials had already had their annual leave, but they had to go to court early on the day of the New Year's Eve.

Chi Xianhuai, who had been dismissed for half a month, resumed his post, and the emperor asked him to lead the troops to Wenzhou to find out the situation.

Chi Xianhuai's body is recovering fairly well, so there is no way to refuse at this time, if he says more, it will be against the decree.

The epidemic is a big deal. When Chi Xianhuai told Yan An that he was going to Wenzhou, Yan An stood up in surprise, "What! Say it again."

Chi Xianhuai touched the back of Yan An's head soothingly, "Don't worry, I'm just leading soldiers to investigate the situation, not to treat those sick people."

Others don't know, but Yan'an knows that the epidemic is a contagious virus, which is equivalent to the plague.

Don't talk about finding out the situation, even if you are close to those patients, you will be infected.

But the emperor was determined to let Chi Xianhuai go, so Yan An could only grit his teeth and ask the emperor to go. Before going, he asked the emperor to bring several imperial physicians to accompany him.

This matter concerns the hearts of the people, even if the emperor is not happy, he has no choice but to agree.

Before leaving, Yan An wrote a letter and sent it to Jing Lan who lived in her private mansion.

The spring exam is approaching, and he believes that with Jing Lan's literary talents, he must be the number one scholar.

At that time, he will help Jing Lan to sit in that position smoothly. Of course, he has selfish intentions.

From the very beginning when he met Jing Lan at the entrance of the restaurant, he didn't lower Jing Lan's value to imitate the account book, but arranged him to a private mansion to let him concentrate on his studies, so that Jing Lan would become the number one scholar one day, Used by him in the court and became his most loyal staff.

There is no need for staff now, but Jing Lan is still valuable. Before the rebellion, he can rely on Jing Lan to obtain information from the court.

As long as Jing Lan wins the trust of the emperor, everything going on for him will be much smoother.

On the other side, after reading Yan An's letter, Jing Lan stood in front of the window and pondered for a long time.

He had no choice at all, if he didn't do what Yan An said, what would happen to him, he didn't even need to think about it.

In fact, he is very grateful to Yan An. If there was no Yan An, he would still be living on the streets, not to mention not having such a luxurious courtyard to live in, and he would not even be able to borrow books.

Ever since Yan An arranged for him to enter this mansion, he knew that he had to serve that person all his life. He didn't reject Yan An at the beginning because he didn't want to continue to be poor.

He lacks a noble person to support him, and Yan'an also lacks a loyal person to do things for him.

They benefit from each other, why not do it.

Jing Lan looked at the snow that had accumulated overnight and was slowly melting, and the last trace of pride in her heart also disappeared.

He is willing to be Yan'an's most loyal dog, even if he commits the crime of deceiving the emperor for Yan'an, he will not hesitate.
