Chang'an Youth Tour

In the past half a month since Mrs. Ye came to the East Palace, Yan Junyu's progress in tactics has been even greater compared to the article.It was also because Rong Hao spoke too elegantly in the past. Although he could understand, he always had a perspective of listening to the story. Now here comes Luo Heng. In Yun Lan's words, it is called "King Kong Heart, Thunderbolt Means." This sentence should have been Bodhisattva has a heart, but it is a pity that Luo Hengxing is actually a little different from Bodhisattva, not only ruthless, but also fast, the so-called thunderbolt method is like this.Orders and prohibitions, no explanations, even Yun Lan felt a little unable to keep up.

But he rather likes Yan Junyu, Yun Lan speculates that it may be because he has calculated Yan Junyu fiercely, if Yan Junyu is confused and doesn't understand at all, Luo Heng will not be like this.The strange thing about Yan Junyu is that he is ignorant and clever. Sometimes he has a broad mind that makes people surprised, and sometimes he holds grudges so much that people want to grab him and rub his head fiercely. Sometimes he makes people soft-hearted. Sometimes it makes people itch with anger.He said he didn't understand, but he knew the situation clearly, and even ran to invite Luo Heng here.He said he understood, but he didn't seem to be interested in in-depth exploration of tactics, so he immediately thought about how to use it in the art of war after listening.Luo Heng is not like Rong Hao. Although he doesn't know the art of war, he has great interest. Seeing him like this, Yan Junyu even moved the sand table over. Most of the time he just reads and let Wei Ru and Yan Junyu be by his side. Deduction, but an occasional pointer or two will be of great help.

Yun Lan once came to pass a message, and saw Yan Junyu set up a strange force layout, asked him and didn't say anything, asked him again, and he said: "This is for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"What Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"The combination of Li Ling's sword and shield soldiers and bow and crossbow actually restrained the Huns cavalry, but because he had no backup, he failed and was captured. If he had known earlier, he should have fought like this. Although he would have been punished at the time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was suspicious and always The truth will be found. Or if there are people in the frontier, or if the city is important, just put it like this, even if you die in the city, it can slow down the enemy's speed. If there are no [-] to [-] cavalry that cannot be defeated, the beheading should be around [-], and you will be rehabilitated afterwards. I won't be exterminated by the three clans." He said while seriously showing Yun Lan how to change.

After all, Yun Lan regarded him as a child's play, and didn't think about it carefully. If he thought about it, he would know that Yan Junyu could speculate on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and naturally he could speculate on others, such as the one who is currently sick in Yongqian Hall.

The household department was busy at the end of the year, and as soon as the memorial of Huang Xin's resignation came up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approved it first, and the resignation of the second-rank officials of the current court would naturally be sent to the imperial court, and Emperor Qingde also approved it.Although the emperor was old and sick, he was still the emperor who used the technique of checks and balances to divide the northern officials into two. When he saw this memorial, he couldn't understand it. At that time, he said lightly: "Unexpectedly, the prince still cares about Jiangnan."

The prince also answered calmly: "The place in the south of the Yangtze River is far away, so naturally we should pay more attention to it."

At that time, the Right Prime Minister Yong Hanhai and Xuan Tongfu were both waiting in front of the imperial court, they both laughed and made fun of it, so they got away with it.On the other hand, Rong Hao was there at the time, breaking out in a cold sweat.Luo Heng's move is brilliant because it is a real conspiracy. Zhang Wenxuan is an absolute pure minister and the mainstay of the Qin faction in the northern faction. According to His Royal Highness when he commented on the government when he was young, the Qin faction is an eagle. The Jin faction is a dog, the hawk faction is radical, and the dog faction is loyal. At that time, Emperor Qingde clapped his hands and praised "My son is like me", never expecting that more than ten years later, his son would use this to counter him.

Therefore, even if Emperor Qingde knew that Zhang Wenxuan's bright future would definitely scare the Jiangnan faction, he had no choice but to write the word "perfect" in the memorial.No matter how powerful the tricks are, they cannot be created out of nothing.There are only so many interests in the court, and there is absolutely no way for all the Jin faction, Qin faction, and Jiangnan faction to be happy.The prince's sentence "Jiangnan is far away" has pointed out the key point - Jiangnan was abandoned by Emperor Qingde a long time ago, even if he squeezed out a little favor, it would not help, the Jiangnan faction was destined to belong to him.Emperor Qingde couldn't chill the hearts of the most powerful hawks under his command just for a little clear speech.

Yong Hanhai and Xuan Tongfu smoothing things over at the same time also showed this point. Yong Hanhai is a member of the Jin school, and he is the best at catering to Shangyi, but after all, he is not from a scholarly background, and his brain may not be so fast.Xuan Tongfu, the old fox, has seen clearly for a long time, and he is still a good boy when he gets a bargain.

But Xuan Tongfu didn't sell for long, he came to pay his respects the next day, and because of the second son's concubine throwing a big banquet, the censor took a copy. In fact, Xuan Tongfu was still cautious, and he was really greedy. The one with fat intestines is actually Yong Hanhai.Rong Hao often laughed that he came from a humble background. Although he had been a right-hand minister for many years and made a lot of money in the market, he was not very popular, and he had the habit of a nouveau riche in the market.At that time, he held his father's [-]th birthday and built a new house. It happened that Ao Zhong had won the battle in Nanzhao. Many small countries in the south paid tribute, especially the three pearl shirts were the most exquisite. At that time, the emperor and the empress were separated, so he kept one for himself. , the smaller one was given to the Seventh Prince, and the remaining one was given to Yong Hanhai.Yong Hanhai wanted to show off, so he put it on on the day of his birthday, and invited all the ministers to a birthday banquet, Rong Hao took Ao Ji and Nie Biao and went in a grand manner.It happened that it was cold in the late spring that day, and Prime Minister Yong was so cold that he wanted to set up a stove. They wanted to invite the guests to play Cuju, and Prime Minister Yong dared not to watch them. They played in the cold wind all afternoon, and Prime Minister Yong stayed with them all afternoon.My nose was running out of cold, and I fell ill for half a month after finishing Shou.

Yong Hanhai has been showing off for so many years, Emperor Qingde didn't mention him once, but this time he scolded Xuan Tongfu bloody, which is really a bit unreasonable.When the news reached the East Palace, Yan Junyu's ears perked up immediately: "Xuan Tongfu is Li Ling, right?"

He knew that Emperor Qingde was suspicious. This time, Huang Xin wrote a letter to beg for bones when he was in his 50s. Although it can be said that the prince wanted to save the Jiangnan faction from knocking mountains and shaking the tiger, but after all, the Qin faction also benefited a lot. It is difficult for Emperor Qingde not to doubt it. What collusion.Moreover, when Rong Hao persuaded Huang Xin in the past few days, he did not forget to drop by Xuan Tongfu's mansion. He made Xuan Tongfu unable to do anything. Dedi's eyes and ears, on the contrary, seem to be colluding with a guilty conscience.

This one-handed planting is considered clever, but Yun Lan didn't buy it, and said with a sneer, "Li Ling, he deserves it too? At most, it's just a guard..."

Even though she said so, she never stopped her tricks, and after two days, Xuan Tongfu's daughter went home crying all the way. In fact, Xuan Tongfu was willing to part with it. Both of Yong Hanhai's sons were useless, and the eldest son was even more romantic. The regular customers on the field, without a wife, have three or four concubines.Xuan Tongfu is willing to marry just a precious daughter, Rong Hao also said: "If you want to talk about their matchmaker, it's Yun Lan."

The marriage of these two people is actually a matchmaker made by Emperor Qingde. As early as when the Xirong people first entered Beijing, Donggong had already searched for the main combat faction in the Qin faction and made close contacts. In order to show his loyalty, the old fox Xuan Tongfu simply followed the Emperor Qingde wanted to get married.But in fact, this matter was calculated by Yun Lan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she facilitated it.Because she also broke up the marriage that Yong Hanhai's son had made since childhood, and acted as a matchmaker for the Holy Majesty to clear the way. She had expected that Emperor Qingde would definitely let the Qin and Jin factions abandon their previous suspicions and unanimously oppose the "foreign palace" in the face of the rise of the East Palace. ", Xuan Tongfu has always regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye, and she wanted to use this incident to induce Xuan Tongfu to refuse marriage, sowing the seeds of dissatisfaction between him and the Holy Majesty.But I didn't expect Xuan Tongfu to be so tolerant, even his precious daughter.

When the matter of marriage came up, she was a little frustrated.On the contrary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very indifferent: "If you lose your horse, you will know that it is not a blessing."

This incident turned out to be an opportunity in the end. Yun Lan was very ingenious, and she planted a few hidden chess pieces in Yong Hanhai's son's backyard early on. How could Fangsi's diva fly to Takae and obediently be a pawn?She was totally aiming at burying the thunder, a few of them were beauties with deep scheming and powerful wrists, and two of them were not low-born, they were the descendants of the Jin faction, and the daughters of Yong Hanhai's old friend.Xuan Tongfu's pampered precious daughter was no match for them, the backyard suddenly caught fire and the world was turned upside down. Although Yong Hanhai tried his best to maintain it, he couldn't control his son's backyard affairs.

This time Xuan Tongfu's daughter suffered a great grievance, and cried all the way home, talking about the grievances of the past six months, mother and daughter sat and cried, it was very miserable.Yong Hanhai is used to be a good boy, he came to pick up people overnight, but Xuan Tong just gritted his teeth and sent his daughter back.

When the news spread to the palace, Yun Lan sneered: "The old thief is really willing, for the sake of power, he has long ago annihilated humanity."

Luo Heng was playing chess with the crown prince at the time, and he said indifferently: "The seeds of suspicion have already been planted, and no matter how much Xuan Tongfu abused himself, he couldn't get rid of it. On the contrary, he appeared guilty. The opposite is the way of the move, and the weak use the way, even If you don't study Taoism, you should know that Shengde is almost fake, and he himself is considered a great Confucian, so he was so frightened that he forgot the doctrine of the mean."

"Xuan Tongfu's staff all studied Confucianism and Mohism. If there is someone who learns from Yang Zhu, if you teach him to 'keep your whole nature true, don't lose your body', he will not be so pretentious, which will even arouse the suspicion of the Holy One. "Yun Lan also answered.

Yan Junyu didn't understand, and asked from the side: "I seem to know what Xuan Tongfu did wrong, but what is Yang Zhu?"

"Even if you lose a little bit and benefit the world, you don't do it. This is Yang Zhu." Rong Hao, who has read a lot of books, explained next to him: "Yang Zhu pays attention to acting rashly, which is somewhat similar to Taoism's renunciation of sages and abandoning wisdom. , is also a sharp weapon to break Confucianism. At the time when Li Jieyuan argued with me in Yichun Palace, this is what he said. And Xuan Tongfu can’t be regarded as wrong. He has no other way. of."

Yan Junyu still didn't understand.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince laughed, picked up the teacup on one side, and put it on the table for him to see. The red sandalwood bookcase was extremely brilliant. He used a chess piece to place a place on the bookcase, and told Yan Junyu: "Look, if I were Xuan Tongfu, I want to push the tea cup to the position of that pawn."

He pushed it lightly, and the teacup slid over, but it exceeded the position of the chess piece by a certain distance.Over there Luo Heng stretched out his hand to hold it down, and said: "Now I am Yong Hanhai, I want to push the teacup back again." He pushed it, and passed it slightly, so twice, the prince smiled and asked: "Do you understand Xiaoyan? "

"Know what?" Yan Junyu was still confused, so he simply reached out to pick up the teacup, put it on the chess piece, and asked, "Why can't we just put it there?"

Everyone at the table laughed, even Li Daoyong couldn't help laughing.Luo Heng simply told him seriously: "This is what Rong Hao just said. When we push the teacup, it is ingenuity and wisdom. The actions of all the officials in the court, and even the will of the Holy One, are all ingenuity and wisdom. When Xiaoyan puts the teacup, it is ingenuity and wisdom." Absolutely abandoning wisdom, it is equivalent to telling Xuan Tongfu directly that I suspect that you have colluded with the East Palace, and it is equivalent to telling Xuan Tongfu directly: I am His Majesty's eagle dog, and I have no second thoughts, and I can even abandon my daughter. But How can we win the trust of others? We have to figure it out on our own. It is inevitable that we have overdone it. The emperors and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have spent their entire lives hiding their true intentions and putting on the cloak of Confucianism. This gives us a chance to make a move, Xuantong The more flustered Fu is, the more he can't help doing more things, the strings are getting tighter and tighter, and when it breaks, he will naturally turn to the East Palace. The south of the Yangtze River is useless, and the key to the success of the East Palace lies in the Qin School... ..."

"But why do they do this? If you say it straight, you don't believe it once, but if you say it directly and do it directly, you will gradually trust each other."

"The one who can't sleep must be a sage." Luo Heng taught him seriously: "This is about what is the real emperor technique. Xiaoyan has been asking me these days, why do I learn Taoism, Confucianism, and law?" I also studied ink, knowing all kinds of skills, but I am not proficient in all kinds of skills. Because I happened to learn the art of emperors, and Yunlan also learned from various schools of thought in order to understand the art of emperors, so as to help His Highness. Do you have any Xiaoyan? I have thought about why the emperor can control the world with one person? You are not allowed to talk about the real dragon emperor, that is to fool the foolish people. Think about it, if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty really think that the emperor is the real dragon emperor, would Yong Hanhai still dare to embezzle? Do they still dare to collude with factions? The imperial examinations are held every year, and the most intelligent people in the whole country are selected. Xuan Tongfu, Yong Hanhai, and those from the Jiangnan faction are all old foxes with a thousand years of history. They all have families. If you want profit, everyone is like a hungry tiger and wolf, how does the Holy One control him?"

Yan Junyu's eyes widened when he heard that, and Yun Lan coughed a few words, obviously thinking that Luo Heng was too disrespectful, but His Royal Highness just smiled and listened, and those sitting in this small room were all the confidantes of the Eastern Palace , Luo Heng, herself, Li Daoyong, Rong Hao... To borrow what Luo Heng said, they are the smartest young people in the whole country, and even Xiaoyan has first-class talent in military art. If they are not worthy to talk about this, No one deserves to say it.

"Speak quickly, I want to listen." Yan Junyu hurriedly moved closer to him. Under the light, the young man's eyes glowed with the light of seeking knowledge. He was ambitious, but he had no ingenuity.

Luo Heng smiled.

He has always spoken in a simple way, and he is bolder than Rong Hao, so he said directly: "Look, Xiaoyan, we compare the Eastern Palace with the Eastern Palace. For example, Your Highness, the entire Eastern Palace is combined. Nie Biao is in charge of the guards of the Eastern Palace, and Rong Hao can contact the subordinates of the Eastern Palace. All civil servants, Yu Yanran is the military power of the East Palace, and Yun Lan is in charge of the dark power. Together, they will definitely be able to kill His Highness, but why is everyone under his control? Execute any one of them, or even half of them, and they will kill and refuse to resist?"

Yan Junyu was smart, he knew that Luo Heng was not talking about the East Palace, but the one in the Yonggan Palace.The guards refer to the imperial city garrison battalion in charge of the defense of the capital, and Ao Zhong is in charge. Rong Hao Wenchen refers to the Qin and Jin sects in the court. Marquis of Jingbei, as well as General Ao Zhong's Nanzhao Army, have already taken back most of their military power.In Yunlan's position, it should be Duan Changfu, the head of the imperial court.As long as they unite, they can easily kill Emperor Qingde and subvert the regime.

"I see. The emperor's strategy you mentioned is to divide and rule. We can't let them unite. Otherwise, it will be like the Chenqiao Mutiny in the Song Dynasty. Even if the orphan and widow of the Chai family sit in the position of emperor, other generals and courtiers will join together There was nothing they could do about Zhao Kuangyin's ascension to the throne. Therefore, Tuo Gu's important ministers had to choose a royal prince, several important ministers from different factions, and beware of the tyranny of foreign relatives, killing their mother and keeping their children like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty killed Mrs. Gouyi. As long as the generals colluded with civil servants, they will be punished immediately, no matter how much credit they have, they will be killed without pardon. This is also the reason why the loyal ministers of the founding of the country could not die well, and the death of Chen Sanjin is also the same, right?" Yan Junyu has learned nothing in vain these days.

"Yes, this is the art of power. To put it simply, it is like this in Xiaoyan, using people to rule people. But dynasties changed from generation to generation. The Qin Dynasty used prefectures and counties, the Han Dynasty used Confucianism and entrusted kings with the same surname, the Tang Dynasty used Jiedushi, and the Song Dynasty Emphasizing culture over martial arts, generations have been constantly improving the art of emperors. There is no end to the art. All real dragons and emperors are excuses to fool the people. The only foundation for a king is power. If he doesn't play well, he will die and the country will perish. There was more than one emperor in the last period who was strangled to death by eunuchs. There is another thing, I don’t know if Xiaoyan discovered it. In each dynasty and generation, what the emperor relied on will eventually die. So Qin died because of prestige, and the first emperor was too majestic , Li Si falsely preached the imperial decree, Prince Fusu committed suicide without even asking a single question. The Tang Dynasty perished due to political separatism, and the Song Dynasty perished when it emphasized literature over military affairs. Yin born, reincarnation is endless..."

"Then what does the emperor of our Great Zhou rely on?" Yan Junyu couldn't help asking.

Luo Heng didn't answer, but with a little smile, he looked at Xiao Jingyan on the opposite side with burning eyes. His Royal Highness looked indifferent, and said: "Great Zhou is Confucianism on the outside and Law on the inside, the way of kings and overlords."

"Confucianism on the outside and law on the inside are today's sages. Confucianism is the way of kings. If you set up a sage standard that no one can reach, all the subjects of the world are guilty in comparison. The courtiers can also wear the Confucian cloak and do their own thing inside. Legalism The domineering is the sharp weapon of the Holy Majesty, but it stops there. It is precisely because of the Confucianism and internal law of the Holy Majesty that the emperor does not know the ministers, and the ministers do not know the emperor, which gave us a chance to create a gap. In fact, His Highness can crack it by himself, old man Ye Xiang has a lot of attainments in Taoism, and His Highness is also well-read and memorized, and he has learned from various schools of thought, with a broad mind and a great legacy." Luo Heng sighed lightly: "It's a pity that the Holy Majesty is greedy for power and tricks, otherwise we wouldn't be needed It’s time to get an ax at the door.”

It was said that the situation in the Eastern Palace was so dangerous, otherwise the Jiangnan faction would not have fled the battle, but when he said this, although Yan Junyu didn't understand it halfway, he felt more at ease immediately.In fact, he never doubted that the East Palace would be defeated. Xiao Jingyan has this characteristic. No matter how turbulent the waves are, he always makes you feel that he is a huge rock in the heart of the river. If the river does not turn, nothing can really defeat him.

"Power tricks are just skills after all." Seeing Yan Junyu looking at him with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Jingyan patted his head, and said with a smile, "The real truth is to be able to defend the Great Zhou against foreign enemies, create a prosperous world, and bring about peace. The technique of the emperor. All the schools of thought return to their homeland, and what they ultimately pursue is a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."

It's no wonder Luo Heng praised him so much, he pulled everyone away from the treacherous intrigue Luo Heng talked about in just two sentences, as if the whole palace had become smaller, Xuan Tongfu What is Yong Hanhai's little scheming?Even Emperor Qingde's suppression of the East Palace was nothing more than an elderly father's suppression of his son, just like a family's discord behind closed doors.What we really need to be vigilant at all times is the robbers who are staring at the door, and how to rescue those low-level people who are struggling in poverty.

Yan Junyu knew that not only was he shaken in his heart, but also other people gained that kite-like perspective because of his words.Even Li Yu, who was lighting up the lamp, opened his eyes wide in rapt attention, and Luo Heng's pale face glowed like a flame.

"Your Highness has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond the reach of people like us who are trapped in ingenuity and trivial matters." He looked at Xiao Jingyan and said, "What Master Yun Lanrong and I can do is to resolve these trivial disputes for Your Highness. I am afraid that the real prosperity will be entrusted to His Highness."

As soon as he said this, even Yun Lan was touched for an instant. Luo Heng saw the matter so clearly that he might even point out the grievance in her heart.She smiled reassuringly, and said: "Then I'll take care of the dirty hands. Everyone, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each show their abilities. We will meet each other in prison in the future, and we will have a long talk."

She hadn't joked for a long time, and when she said this, everyone laughed, even His Royal Highness couldn't help laughing, and rubbed Yan Junyu's hair. When Chen Sanjin rebelled, it must have been like this.It's just that later, the ups and downs of the officialdom and the turbulent waves broke up the companions of the year, forgetting the original friendship and determination.

But the crown prince will not do this, Yan Junyu knows that there is a very high and bright part in his heart, like the moon in the sky, he can always find the best way, like now, he actually sees many things clearly.It's like the matter of Rong Hao, but he doesn't say or mention it, but every time he talks with Luo Heng at night, he brings Rong Hao with him. Gradually, Rong Hao can talk together and smile as happily as they do.

Unfortunately, Nie Biao outside quickly knocked on the door.

"Your Highness, the Holy One has ordered you to summon His Highness to Yonggan Palace immediately."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold, and Yan Junyu also became nervous.I always waited on the sick all day and all night, and called them immediately if they were not released.He and Rong Hao looked at each other and found that he was also extremely nervous.

Xiao Jingyan smiled instead.

"It should be that the empress mother has returned to the palace, and my father sent me to study for him." He didn't forget to tell Yan Junyu: "Xiaoyan go to bed early, don't wait for me to come back."
