Chang'an Youth Tour

Yan Junyu met Ye Linglong first.

As soon as she entered the Changchun Palace, she began to trouble Yan Junyu: "Hey, Yan Junyu, how can you be the boss like you? Wei Ru and Minglu are both in the East Palace, so you come out to have a good time by yourself."

Yan Junyu had no choice but when she was about to explain, she lost her composure and laughed: "Okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose. The whole palace knew about your troubles, I'm really not ashamed." , such an adult is still crying..."

"I didn't cry."

"If you say no, then there is no. I'll tell you something, so don't cry again," she leaned over and said mysteriously, "Your Majesty is going to hand you over to my sister."

"what?"

Yan Junyu didn't believe it, but she didn't expect that Ye Linglong really didn't lie this time.The queen really handed him over to the crown princess, and without even saying a word, the three of them were silent for a dinner, Ye Linglong even finished eating early, and went to talk to Xiao Xu.When the queen went in to copy the scriptures, the princess suddenly said, "Does Xiaoyan have anything else to take?"

Yan Junyu suddenly understood, looking at her, she just smiled.

"Is Changchun Palace not safe?" Yan Junyu was very smart.

"The queen mother has her own arrangements."

Yan Junyu really didn't say much, and followed her, this time also carrying a chariot, to a small palace to the east of Changchun Palace, it was very quiet and quiet from a distance, it seemed that no one lived there for a long time, but there were still people guarded.

"I thought Xiaoyan would be angry?" Ye Xuanji said suddenly when they were about to arrive.

He should be angry. Xiao Jingyan felt that he was not safe in the East Palace. If he handed it over to the queen, and the queen gave it to her, he would be angry even if it was changed hands like this, let alone a person.

Yan Junyu doesn't lie, so he doesn't speak.

"I can't blame him entirely," Ye Xuanji said indifferently facing the moonlight, "My grandfather must be safe in everything, and the disciples I teach are the same. Everyone is most afraid of accidents, and they must do everything perfectly..."

"Do you like people too?" Yan Junyu asked back.

He regretted it when he said it. In fact, he was angry with Xiao Jingyan, otherwise he wouldn't have met her for so long and didn't ask him how he was.But the question was ambiguous, as if it was not for himself, but for Ao Ji.

Ye Xuanji didn't seem to be offended, but didn't say anything more.Ye Linglong, on the other hand, told Yan Junyu that this was the place where they used to live. The old Ye Xiang had been a tutor for many years, and the generation of the Ye family basically grew up in the palace, just like her own family.

Ye Xuanji is not like Yun Lan. Yun Lan likes to fight fiercely, and she often strikes hard, and her intentions are still unfinished, which will show some traces.Rong Hao likes to explain even more, Luo Heng is because he is willing to teach Yan Junyu, Ye Liangyu is informal and free, and Yan Junyu can see a lot.

Only Ye Xuanji, almost an antelope's horns, could not be found.She is the closest person to Xiao Jingyan, she doesn't like to brag, and she has a deep heart, even with Ao Ji, she has never let Yan Junyu get a glimpse of the whole picture.

If it wasn't for the court, Yan Junyu wouldn't have had any chance.

As the Xi Rong encroached on Jingbei step by step, the court panicked again, and there were even voices blaming the East Palace. Although the civil servants were extremely strong, most of them were still weak. They had no concept of the cruelty of war. war.Not to mention the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households was already yelling and couldn't bear it just seeing the expenditure, and when the Ministry of War released the plan for conscription, the whole court was full of quarrels.

During the battle, Xuan Tongfu seemed to be shaken, and Yong Hanhai made up his mind to go all the way to the dark, acting as a barrier for Emperor Qingde.The Ministry of War was refuted for three days, and a single memorial was not approved. The Minister of the Ministry of War threatened to sleep at the gate of the Yonghe Hall, saying that if the conscription order was not approved, there would be no one to guard Jingbei before summer.But these words not only did not scare Yong Hanhai, but scared many of the ministers who had been in the main battle before, and even scolded the East Palace together.

Among them, Yushitai was the most serious. Emperor Qingde suffered a loss in the Li Daoyong case. After he transferred Taifu Ye back, he vigorously rectified Yushitai. Now Yushitai has begun to question the prince.He kept silent about the fact that Emperor Qingde released Helian, but only grasped the fact that Meng Cang had left the capital at the beginning, questioning why the East Palace was in charge of receiving the Wuhu envoys, why he let him go so easily, and blamed the East Palace for not attacking Meng Cang early, and should have killed him. Losing him will make Cha Yunshuo available without a master.

Although these words sounded like a layman, it was actually a drunkard who didn't want to drink.Those who seriously analyze the Xirong army will know that regardless of whether the East Palace can withstand the pressure of Emperor Qingde at that time, even if they can really kill Meng Cang under the protection of Xirong warriors, it is only an advance of Cha Yunshuo's attack time. That's all.Although famous generals are important, they are just opening the battlefield. What is really fatal is Xirong's current strong national strength and military strength. With the huge grassland as the backing, they may even consider eating Youyan in a few years.

So this interrogation is not so much about not killing Meng Cang, it is better to say "why don't you want to pay compensation with your relatives, at least the war can be postponed for a year or two", but this can't be said, so I changed it to a more provocative statement, which is also true After getting away with it, even the Tai students who shouted about fighting were deceived a lot. Although they didn't scold the East Palace, they still had quite a few criticisms.

At this time, Yan Junyu still didn't understand why the East Palace wanted to let Ye Xuanji out. Anyway, it was necessary to use the queen's name. Wouldn't it be better to let Ye Lingyu out to operate?Although the crown princess is powerful, she has the status of a harem woman after all, and cannot link up with the previous dynasty.

He didn't understand the reason until the day Tai students also began to write articles questioning Rong Hao's letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

When he came back from gun practice that day, he saw Ye Linglong sitting on the porch alone, wiping her eyes, as if she was crying.

He also knew that girls should not be disturbed when they cry, but it was not easy to leave and just stand by.Seeing him like this, Ye Linglong got so angry that she threw the snow balls around her to him.

Yan Junyu was confused: "Why are you crying?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

He hid two snowballs, saw that she was silent and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Ye Linglong: "Go in."

"why?"

"My father and my sister are arguing, and they will be embarrassed to quarrel if you go in."

Yan Junyu was not afraid of Grand Tutor Ye, so he went in, and sure enough there was a quarrel inside, but to his surprise, it was not the Grand Tutor who was talking, but the Crown Princess.

"...Before the spring, you have to find all the old disciples of Grandpa Qi back then, starting from the Hanlin Academy, I have already arranged..."

Yan Junyu realized that her tone was offensive as soon as she heard it, although according to royal etiquette, she is the emperor, and the Tai Tuo is the minister, and the tone is from top to bottom.But the Taifu is both a teacher and a father to Donggong, needless to say her status, her tone is completely condescending, although it is not arrogant, it is also too offensive.

Naturally, Taifu Ye couldn't bear to listen to this.

"What if the old minister doesn't obey? How will His Highness deal with the old minister?"

Ye Taifu's tone really sounded a bit like an admonishing minister, but Yan Junyu was not used to it.He has always disliked Mrs. Ye, feeling that although he has profound attainments in Confucianism, his views on many things are far inferior to Rong Hao's.This has nothing to do with his slapping his own palm. Mr. Mei from the Imperial Study Room is also a very strict Confucian teacher, but the book is very good. Yan Junyu once heard it once, and he felt that it was simple and simple, and it was the right way in the world.

It's a pity that he just doesn't like Mrs. Ye instinctively, and he can't tell what's wrong with Mrs. Ye.

In contrast, the princess is much sharper.

This is the inner hall with heavy curtains. After all, the crown princess is a member of the Eastern Palace. Seeing that her father is also separated by a bead curtain, there are also female officials serving close by. Silk is corresponding.Yan Junyu originally wanted to go there directly, but what the Crown Princess said next made him afraid to show his face.

When Mrs. Ye said those words, the princess was silent for a moment, and then sneered.

"Don't act like a pure minister here. Even if you are sucking carbuncles and hemorrhoids now, you have to be ranked behind Yonghan Haixuan Tongfu. I don't care if you understand or not, your brain makes sense. Six years ago you I have already missed it once, this is the last chance of the Ye family. Your son is still guarding the East Palace, living and dying with Xiao Jingyan, if you don’t even understand this, get the hell out of here as soon as possible.”

Her scolding was so hard and fast that it was like a rain of swords and swords. Not to mention Mrs. Ye, Yan Junyu behind the curtain was also dumbfounded. He had heard a lot of scolding. The little eunuch in the palace The parrot is also extremely mean, but no one is like her, she is a sharp knife, her words clearly distinguish the pros and cons, and her words are so cruel that it makes people unable to recover.

Mrs. Ye was obviously dumbfounded by the scolding, and after realizing it, her voice trembled with anger: "I, Ye Hengsheng, are unfilial..."

"Are you worthy of telling me a word of filial piety?" Ye Xuanji stood up directly, and her sentences were as sharp as a knife, condescendingly questioning him: "As the son of the Ye family, you can't enter the court to worship the minister, and you can't retreat to study and become a great Confucian , your grandfather passed down such a great foundation, and you were completely ruined by two fatal mistakes. Even this Tai Tuo rewarded you for the sake of your grandfather's face. How dare you have the face to listen to others call you Xiaoye? The greatest achievement of your career is being used As a tool, a student of politics, your father uses you as a sword to balance the East Palace, are you still dreaming? You have been confused all your life, and you are in vain as a man, unable to revitalize the family business and protect your wife and children. Your grandfather has worked hard for 30 years. You have the face to talk about filial piety with me today? Sometimes I wonder if you are from the Ye family!"

If it were someone else, after hearing these shocking words, they would probably be terrified.Although Da Zhou was open-minded, Ye Xuanji's words were by no means something that ordinary women could say, besides, she was still the perfect Crown Princess in the eyes of outsiders.

But maybe it was because of Yun Lan's backing, Yan Junyu was not frightened when he heard it, but reacted instead.

He finally realized the difference in Ye Xuanji's tone from everyone else.Because she is not a daughter, and she is not even the tone that belongs to the female family members of the palace that Yun Lan usually uses, but is like a tiger like a leopard, condescending and crushing.Although His Royal Highness never lectured Rong Hao and the others, his tone was similar.

Speaking of Junyu's sense of familiarity, it did not come from the East Palace.

He had only seen this tone when Emperor Qingde spoke, as if she was the master of the Ye family, and she was teaching Grand Tutor Ye how to do things, with a tone between reprimand and enlightenment, like a king like a father.She is in charge of all the decisions and naturally takes all the responsibilities.Like the leader of a pack of wolves, he is capable of biting wolves who don't fit in, but he also has to take on the responsibility of leading the pack through the long winter.

It is difficult for ordinary people to bear this. Luo Heng said that the emperor's art is the way of kings and hegemony.That kind of overlooking perspective is that everything in her way will be ruthlessly cut off, and there is only one dead end except surrender.Those who do big things will be trampled on at will by the etiquette that the world dare not surpass. In the royal family, father and son brothers can fight each other. No one will doubt that she will have even a little soft-heartedness.

Mrs. Ye obviously couldn't handle this either.

Yan Junyu didn't look at it, but knew that Mrs. Ye was about to collapse after being scolded by her, his face must be pale, and he might not be able to stand still.

But Yan Junyu knew that the so-called emperor technique was more than just powerful. The feeling should be like the feeling of Xuan Tongfu and Yong Hanhai in front of Emperor Qingde.When Longyan is angry, it makes people tremble, but as long as you follow his will and figure out what he wants, the feeling of being rewarded and valued will also make people feel ecstatic, not to mention the ensuing Rewarded.

Emperor Qingde acted so retrogradely, and a large group of pure ministers followed him to death, it was also due to this technique of controlling people.Not to mention Yong Hanhai and the others, even Yu Yanran was in front of the imperial court when he was commended by Emperor Qingde until he shed tears.As Ye Liangyu said, there is a tendency in human nature to go down and backwards, and even deceive oneself and others, preferring to be a sheep among the sheep, without thinking, following the guidance of Emperor Qingde, and not having to bear the wrath of his thunder .The so-called father is to make people unconsciously return to the position of the child, like a junior in a big family, as long as he follows the elder's wishes, the wind and rain will not fall on him. This kind of illusory sense of security makes people willing to follow suit. Slowly sinking together with the big ship, without realizing it.

The princess is obviously well versed in this.

After some angry reprimands, she did not completely defeat Mrs. Ye, but was silent for a while, and even sighed, which obviously contained a lot of "I don't want to go this far, it's all yours!" Wrong, you won’t listen to me", and when he spoke again, his tone softened, and he even called out softly, "Father..."

Yan Junyu didn't hear what was said after that, obviously she had already stepped down from her seat and went to whisper to Mrs. Ye to show her intimacy, but it didn't really matter what she said at this time.Just like when Emperor Qingde was in his heyday, he controlled his officials and gave them both kindness and power. After the house was confiscated, he would be followed by rewards, and he played with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the palm of his hand.As long as the essence of power tactics is learned, it doesn't really matter what you say.

People who have been severely beaten and thrown into the darkness will not think too much if they see a glimmer of light, as long as they can be forgiven.Yan Junyu guessed that she must have said something like "I am also thinking about the future of the Ye family", and it took a strong willpower to resist.

Mrs. Ye obviously couldn't resist this, although because the other party was his daughter, he still couldn't hide his face, and his tone was blunt, but in the end he obeyed and asked, "What do you want?"

The princess laughed.

"I want my father to go to the Hanlin Academy first. That was the place where my grandfather cultivated the most. I have also been in business for six years. I just need a name. You can just go through the motions. Naturally, someone will agree. Then take the Yushitai, Qin Tianjian sent the latest astrology, and it would definitely say that Emperor Ziwei was in turmoil, and some people in Yushitai were thinking of their grandfather, so it was enough to scare them. Then go to King Guangping, he is a disciple of his grandfather, and he knows the severity. Then recruit An Xuan Tongfu, my grandfather has many disciples, but they are scattered in the government and the public, I only need a trend that you can serve for the East Palace, smart people will follow the trend, understand?"

Grand Tutor Ye obviously still hesitated, and the Crown Princess smiled again: "Let me tell you the truth, with the current situation of my father, can I really abolish the Crown Prince? Xiao Jingyan will have to settle the score sooner or later. Smart people have already attached themselves to the East Palace. The East Palace does not lack your family." Surrender, even if there is no Ye family, there will be Zhang family and Li family. But this is the only chance for our Ye family. You know Xiao Jingyan's methods. How could he lose? The only time he miscalculated was your son That time."

Grand Tutor Ye whispered a few more words to her, and it was obvious that the agreement was settled, only to hear the Crown Princess say lightly: "Qingluan, go out with the Grand Tutor. My daughter cannot serve in front of her knees in the palace, so I can only let the maid Qingluan take her place." My daughter is a filial piety."

Even a fool can see that she sent Qingluan not to serve Ye Taifu, but to guide Ye Taifu in his actions, perhaps with a sense of surveillance.

Taifu Ye obviously knew it too, and he might feel that his father's dignity was damaged, so he said immediately: "You are too arrogant, you look down on your father..."

"Father is a person of the utmost affection and nature. With Qingluan by his side, someone can point it out at critical times. Having said that, if my father did not get along well with Xuan Tongfu back then, I am afraid there would not be a Jin faction today."

One sentence made Mrs. Ye speechless, so she had to leave angrily.Yan Junyu was at a loss when he heard it, but he also knew a little about the past.After Emperor Qingde succeeded to the throne, he made great use of power and tactics, and the factions of court officials changed several times, the most exciting of which was the battle between Chen Tonglin and Ye Xiang, the northern school. It's a pity that he met Lao Ye Xiang who was in his prime, and lost to the most compatible pair of monarchs and ministers, Lao Ye Xiang and Emperor Qingde.Since then, the northern faction has been divided into two. After the officials of the northern faction were wiped out, Emperor Qingde was also tired, so he copied the Jiangnan faction.Luo Heng once said with emotion that Lao Ye Xiang was a talent for governing the world at the prime of his life, and that being a tutor is really overkill. The princes of all generations have never received such a good education, so not only His Highness the Crown Prince's power skills are very solid, but even the companions of the East Palace are also very talented. Benefits, talent aplenty.

But what Ye Xuanji was talking about was later. After the war between the court and the Chinese party ended, Emperor Qingde rested for a while, and then began to support the new faction, and the people he used were much more docile.Xuan Tongfu got up at that time, and lived a good life as a family dominator.Originally, Taifu Ye had the opportunity to become the leader of the faction that stood up to Xuan Tongfu. The old Ye Xiang had already passed away at that time, and Emperor Qingde inevitably empathized with Taifu Ye. The nickname of Xiaoye Xiangfu came at that time. Thought he would succeed Prime Minister You.

It's a pity that Ye Taifu's qualifications are mediocre, his mind is shallow, and he made a wrong move.The civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't get along with anyone, but they ran to make friends with Xuan Tongfu, which violated Emperor Qingde's taboo.Just abandon it and let him be the grand tutor, and Yong Hanhai came out later, and this formed a situation where the Qin and Jin factions in the court and China check and balance each other.

Now everything is over, the glory of the Ye family has passed for a hundred years, and the revival of the old Ye Xiang has also failed, and the rest are just some names.People in the market don't understand, they think it is an honor to be talked about in a storyteller. If it is legitimate, how dare the storyteller make it up?The No. 1 Ye family in Lingyan Pavilion is just the talk of the world now.

After Mrs. Ye left, Ye Xuanji sat quietly for a while, as if she had recovered, she called lightly, "Come out, Xiaoyan."

Yan Junyu was also sincere, he really didn't dodge, walked out, and didn't explain that Ye Linglong asked him to come, but just stood there upright, as beautiful as a pole, or a dustless tree. Tree.

"You know I'm listening?"

Old Ye Xiang's students must learn the six arts of a gentleman, riding, archery and swordsmanship, and she is used to it, so she has to answer this way.But maybe Yan Junyu's eyes were too open, she just said: "My swordsmanship is from Ao Ji, how can I not even know this?"

Sure enough, Yan Junyu's eyes lit up when he heard the name.

This was the first time Ye Xuanji mentioned Ao Ji's name to him. He was too clever to know what it meant.Immediately, she took a step forward, the inner hall was not big, hidden by the bead curtain, Ye Xuanji's figure seemed a little tired, but for the first time she seemed to gain some popularity.

Different from Yan Junyu's conjecture that she is as bright as the moon, she has a kind of beauty that is burning with ambition.It turns out that Linglong's enthusiasm is like her, and her occasional indifference to people is also like her. It is a flame dancing on the ice, calm and restrained, and has the same temperament as Xiao Jingyan, but there are differences in the subtleties .

"Xiaoyan wants to hear a story?" She asked behind the bead curtain.

The fear that Ye Liangyu mentioned in human nature should be this. It is the feeling of standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down uncontrollably, but unable to walk away.

But Yan Junyu was no longer afraid of anything.

To know everything is to protect everything.Even if it is for Ao Ji, he must understand the story.

"If you want to talk, I'm willing to listen." He answered Ye Xuanji frankly.

How could she have such a character? She also felt the same way when she saw Ao Ji for the first time. There was something extremely dangerous about the young man, a strong and unfettered nature, but he was so magnanimous, with a kindness like a wild animal in the forest. , because he doesn't care about all ingenuity, as long as he can be himself frankly.

"What story does Xiaoyan want to know?" Ye Xuanji asked him softly.

Xiao Jingyan also often feels this kind of weakness, right?Like getting a beautiful stone, they are tigers and leopards, it is not their food, it cannot be eaten, and it does not have many functions, but they must be moved back to their caves.Reluctant, knowing that he will not change, liking him will not change.What makes them most powerless is that the stone is something from another world, a law that tigers and leopards cannot understand. They are the masters of the entire forest, but they don't know what to do with this stone.

"You said Mrs. Ye did two things wrong, did one of them happen six years ago?" Yan Junyu asked her directly.

"Yes."

What happened six years ago?Everyone knew it well, and Yan Junyu knew it too. It was nothing more than the 16-year-old Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace who had a mutual agreement with his companion Ye Lingyu and refused to accept the Crown Princess. In the end, Emperor Qingde found out...

"The matter between the two of them was informed by my father to the Holy One."
