Chang'an Youth Tour

Yan Junyu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Then I will be your general in the future and clear the frontier for you."

"Okay."

Xiao Jingyan agreed with a smile.

Yan Junyu was embarrassed, and he knew that this deal was a bit unfair, because he was going to be a general, and this promise was a bit of a favor.But Xiao Jingyan is the crown prince, the future emperor, and his promise is actually very heavy.I took advantage of it, and seeing Xiao Jingyan still smiling and not exposing himself, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassing, and asked for something to say: "What book is Your Highness reading?"

Xiao Jingyan raised the cover of the book, it was "Five Hu Customs", and Yan Junyu recognized it immediately.

"Look at this? I also found a copy from the Imperial Study Room and brought it back. Ao Ji forbade me to read it, saying it was an idle book, so I snatched it away..." He complained very unhappily.

"Oh, so it was you." Xiao Jingyan laughed: "I said who painted so many pages on the book."

Yan Junyu's face turned red. He was actually watching the prince annotate the book, so he learned to do it himself, but he couldn't write small script, so he scribbled all over the book, looking like someone deliberately erased the book.

When Xiao Jingyan said that, of course he was embarrassed to explain, so he could only change the subject and said, "Is everything written in this book true? Are barbarians really cannibals?"

"Usually, it's not like cannibalism. It's hard to say in a war. Using captives as military rations has existed since ancient times. Huang Chao did it in Tang Dynasty. It's not just Hu people. But it's true that Hu people have always coveted the Central Plains."

Xiao Jingyan's tone was calm, but what he said was the cruelest thing.

"So are we going to go to war?"

"That depends on how the situation develops." Xiao Jingyan said lightly.

He often has this kind of demeanor when he is idle, lazy and careless, but he is talking about important matters of the whole country. This state makes Yan Junyu feel very contradictory, but it also has a fatal attraction.

The feeling of sitting and playing in the hall and listening to adults chatting about military affairs is back.But this time was different, this time it was as if standing on the edge of an abyss, staring at power itself.Yan Junyu was instinctively attracted by this feeling. After all, he is a descendant of a prince. His enthusiasm for the battlefield and power is written in his blood, not to mention that he is only 15 years old.

And Xiao Jingyan was still lazily leaning on the couch, Su Jingun's dragon robe was brilliantly embroidered with silver, his posture was so casual, as if no matter what you asked, he would get the answer.

"In Chunwei's test paper, someone wrote this, called "The Theory of Subduing Barbarians." He carefully considered his wording, and asked, "But Chen Wen said that "Ping Rong Ce" has a bigger structure. Why?"

He is not like a deer now, but more like a wolf, or a tiger, or a cub, but he has the opportunity to grow into a ferocious beast. Behind the seemingly clumsy temptation, he hides the posture of becoming the king of beasts in the future.

Xiao Jingyan laughed.

"However, the Wanzi Ping Rong Ce was exchanged for the master's tree planting book. This allusion is well used."

Yan Junyu frowned: "Maybe it's not because of the allusion?"

"Why is that?" Xiao Jingyan asked back.

His eyes are still light gray like mountains and mist, but they are bent. No one knows that there are thousands of troops hidden in the mist.

Yan Junyu hesitated for a moment in such eyes.

But he said it anyway.

""Ping Rong Ce" is bigger than "Falling the Barbarians", because the "Rong" refers to Xi Rong, right? The person who wrote this article already knows that Xi Rong is the biggest threat to our Great Zhou. So he has a big picture, right?"

Xiao Jingyan laughed.

"Really smart." He praised Yan Junyu: "How did Xiaoyan guess it?"

"Yu Yanran and Ao Ji went to visit the embassy that entertained the five Hu envoys. They spoke highly of Prince Xirong and were jealous of him." Yan Junyu couldn't help asking: "Rong Hao said that Ao Ji went to Fireworks Lane. I don't believe it."

Xiao Jingyan couldn't help laughing.

"Then you are wrong, they really went to Fireworks Lane."

Yan Junyu's eyes widened immediately, and he wanted to ask again, but Xiao Jingyan had already picked up the book again and continued to read.He had no choice but to think about it for a while, but he still couldn't figure out what the relationship between going to Fireworks Lane and Xirong was.

Xiao Jingyan raised his head quietly from between the pages of the book and glanced at him quietly.

The look of Yan Junyulin's copybook is clumsy and serious, which makes people laugh.

There are many smart children in this palace, but it is too rare to see someone who is so smart and sincere, so Ao Ji saw it at a glance, took him under his wings, and took care of him patiently, for fear of being coaxed away by him.

Because the more sincere a person is, the easier it is to be torn apart when he falls into the power field.

Just like Yan Junyu would never guess, the reason why "Ping Rong Ce" is so big is not because he sees that Xi Rong is the future enemy of Da Zhou, but because of that allusion.

Xiao Jingyan didn't lie to him.

"However, the Wanzi Ping Rong Ce was exchanged for the tree planting book next door."The person who wrote this line was Xin Qiji, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. The world praises his works a lot, but no one mentions them. He once wrote "Ten Treatises on Meiqin" and "Nine Discussions", both of which are books of controversy.But because of the peace of the imperial court, he was impeached and dismissed from his post, and retired to the countryside. His ambition was hard to repay, and he could not be reused for the rest of his life.

People who use this allusion not only see that Xi Rong is the biggest threat to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also see Emperor Qingde's desire for harmony, but he still regards himself as Xin Qiji, not so much that he wrote this article for the sake of gaining fame , it is better to say that he is sending out a signal for people who can understand this article to hear.Otherwise, he can only exchange the tree planting book from the neighbor's house like Xin Qiji.

And Xiao Jingyan was the one who received the signal.

Seeing Yan Junyu dozing off again, Xiao Jingyan reached for the crane cloak, only to hear someone behind him laughing: "This kid slept soundly, he chased me around asking questions today, he's so stupid."

"Have you contacted Zhu Liangcai?"

The Chu Liangcai he was talking about was the Yunnan Yayuan who wrote "Ping Rong Ce".

"I found it a long time ago. We have a lot of people in Yunnan, and someone has gone to make friends with him. That kid is very honest. When he heard that the prince read his article, tears came down, and he saluted in the direction of the capital."

"Is he willing to give up Chunwei?"

"I'd rather be willing." Rong Hao hesitated a bit: "But he is not from a wealthy family. There is a widowed mother in the family, and they have high expectations for him. In fact, it's nothing to let him get a good reputation. It's the same to send him to the frontier next spring. ..."

"His essays are so good, and his sharpness shows, there will be variables when he goes to the Chunwei exam." Xiao Jingyan is very assertive: "Let him go to the military. There is a shortage of people in the frontier. The sooner he passes, the better."

"It's so critical." Rong Hao smiled: "My trick hasn't worked yet, maybe it can be delayed for five or ten years."

"Okay, if you can delay for five years, I will make you prime minister."

"That's settled." Rong Hao dared to answer anything.

"By the way, Jing Hu has a companion named Chen Wen who has some insights, please pay attention."

"Hey, I figured it out a long time ago. That kid is smart, but his heart is too soft. He is stupid after reading sage books. It's just for the third prince to study hard and let him know that being kind is not enough. Tan Siyuan is also good, and his heart is even softer." , what's wrong with the children now, they are all as stupid as Xiaoyan."

"Is it good that they are all as cunning as you?"

"Okay, I know you like stupid ones. I like smart ones. It's fun to meet your opponent."

"The He family came from a military background, and Ms. He doesn't know a single word."

"That doesn't matter, I'll just teach. I don't believe there are people in this world who I can't teach."
