Chang'an Youth Tour

Yan Junyu didn't do anything serious, but just sneaked to the back of the study to eavesdrop on what they were saying.He has been here once, and he is familiar with the way, so he easily touched under the window of the study, put his ear on the window, and listened carefully.

It was Rong Hao who was talking inside.

"...Xuan Tongfu is also an old fox, he doesn't say a word of truth, Huang Ke is more reliable."

"These old ministers are all like this. It's better to look for young people. Jinshi of Guiyou's department has also come out, but the position is not high, and it's useless to win over." Ao Ji is always the one who is frustrated anyway.

"We still have to work hard on the veterans." Xiao Jingyan decided. For some reason, his voice paused, and when he spoke again, there was even a hint of a smile: "Young people have no experience, and their positions are easily shaken. consider."

Sure enough, it was about the same as I expected.Yan Junyu knew that since there were courtiers who were in charge of the war and pretended to be the main battle, there were naturally some courtiers who were in charge of the war and pretended to be the main war.The former is just for the sake of fame, while the latter is dangerous, because the Holy Master belongs to the Lord's Harmony faction, and they are guarding against the Holy Master by mixing with the Lord's Harmony faction.This thought cannot be expressed at all, and it cannot even be mentioned.

So this time Xiao Jingyan asked the two prince companions to come forward in person and visit the high-ranking officials' mansions. It was clear that he was lobbying to win him over. Of course, the Holy Majesty would not be happy.People who don't understand tactics will think that the prince is ostentatious and ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth, so why didn't he make an unannounced visit instead of making it clear.They didn't know that Xiao Jingyan's move was to stand up and take up this responsibility in the name of Donggong.

The more ostentatious this matter is, the more it can reflect Donggong's determination. Only when Donggong is carrying it in front can these old foxes show their fox tails.The East Palace is the crown prince, so it's really a big mess, but the Holy One just reprimanded them, but they are the result of ransacking their families and exterminating their families.They can't help but be careless.

Xiao Jingyan's actions showed his courage and position as the East Palace, and these old foxes would weigh it in their hearts.When they are in their position, all the virtuous and bloody outsiders are deceiving young people, but they are just bookish.What these old foxes think in their hearts is the glory of the family, and whether they should gamble on Donggong now.If he wins the bet, he will become a confidant when the prince ascends the throne, and if he loses, he will be forever lost.

"Xuan Tongfu is from outside the Guan, and has suffered from the barbarians. However, he has been the prime minister for more than ten years, and it is hard to say whether he still remembers the suffering." Ao Ji said lazily: "But he is a student of the Ye family... "

His voice gradually dropped, and Yan Junyu couldn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly brought his ears closer, but he stepped on a dry branch, and there was a click, and he thought "No", just as he was about to escape, he just Hearing a sneer from inside, it seemed to be Ao Ji.

He could only hear the sound of piercing through the air, a gust of wind, extremely fast, like a gun, came out of the study window directly, and shot towards him!Yan Junyu was so frightened that she hugged her head, she couldn't dodge it, just when she thought she was going to be shot straight through, she felt a strong force on her shoulder, and she was picked up and thrown aside.

Yan Junyu was frightened, only saw that the rescuer seemed to be dressed in black, very thin, like a shadow, as fast as a ghost, turned over the eaves, and disappeared.Yan Junyu looked at the place where he was standing in a daze, and it turned out that what Ao Ji threw was not a gun, but a writing brush. The place where Yan Junyu was standing was an osmanthus tree, and the writing brush shot directly into the trunk of the tree. In the middle, three points into the wood, even if you pull it out, you can't pull it out.

He was petrified, until the window was pushed open, he was still in a daze.

Several people came out through the window and saw him pitifully frightened, Yu Yanran also heard the movement over there, and ran over quickly, Yun Lan also came over, a group of people surrounded him, touching his head, checking his body, checking his body , took him to the Sihong Hall, and inspected it carefully until His Royal Highness spoke, saying: "Everyone go down."

When everyone dispersed, Yan Junyu slowly came to his senses. Xiao Jingyan also felt distressed seeing him like this, and was afraid that this time his heart would soften, and he would become even more lawless in the future. on his back.

"Now you know how powerful you are?" Although his tone was admonishing, his voice was extremely gentle: "I heard you coming, but I deliberately pretended not to know, but you are bold enough to make a noise. Fortunately, there are hidden guards around , otherwise what can I do?"

Although Yan Junyu is bold, he is a young master after all. He lived to be 16 years old. This is also the first time he has passed through a life-and-death situation. Everyone was frightened and stupid. Hearing this, he felt even more aggrieved, angry and anxious, crying Said: "Who told you not to take me into the study. I am also a companion, why can they go in and discuss? Although I am not as smart as them, I can still learn."

Xiao Jingyan had no choice but to say, "I don't let you in because I think you're stupid."

"why?"

"War and peace are not yet settled, but other things will be settled tonight."

"What's the matter?" Yan Junyu had already reacted when he asked.

What is settled is a marriage.Because the day after tomorrow is the farewell banquet, I always have to give an explanation to the people of Xirong.

"Impossible!" He stood up anxiously, forgetting even his fear, but he couldn't say any impassioned reasoning, so he could only pull Xiao Jingyan's sleeve and say: "I can't get married, it's a great humiliation, the people of Xirong will have nothing to fear, It will be very painful for the princess to marry a barbarian..."

In fact, what he said are all very simple truths, and the more profound truths have been clearly stated in the books written by those scholars and the advice of the censor.But Emperor Qingde wanted peace wholeheartedly, if he got more entangled in the matter of marriage, the rift between the East Palace and the emperor would be out of hand.The people of Xirong saw through this point, and their proposal this time was not so much for marrying a princess and making peace with Da Zhou.Rather, it is a tactic of attacking the heart, which is to force Xiao Jingyan and Emperor Qingde to separate themselves.

Even a single crack is more precious than thousands of gold and silver jewels.Sooner or later there will be a battle between Xi Rong and Da Zhou, Xiao Jingyan will be too strong an enemy, if it is changed to a prince, things will be much easier.Even if he couldn't change it, it would be good to add some obstacles to his succession.

This scheme is so simple and straightforward, but it is difficult to decipher - because the person who used the scheme has already seen it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was crowned king on the ground, became the crown prince at the age of seven, and Xiao Jingyan, who grew up with countless expectations and admiration, absolutely He will not tolerate the humiliation of making peace, and let his sister become a victim of seeking peace with the barbarians.

And above the marriage, there is also the final contest of war and peace.All the main battle factions in the Great Zhou knew that sooner or later there would be a battle between Xirong and the Great Zhou, but the Xirong people wanted to put on a gesture of peace. If the main battle faction did not accept it, they would become villains who started the war.Marrying is just the first step, followed by paying tribute, indemnity, cutting land... Sooner or later, there will be one item that will touch their bottom line, but the main peace faction can readily accept it.In this way, before the Xirong people invaded, the Great Zhou Dynasty had already fought among itself.Even if the internal friction is not between the crown prince Xiao Jingyan and Emperor Qingde, at least it can make the officials of the Great Zhou fight together.

Even Rong Hao has to admit that Xirong's mastermind, the blond-haired Helian whom he hates to the bone, is one of the most cunning people he has ever met.His status is so humble, but his plan is so upright, pointing directly at people's hearts.

That failed beauty trick was just a small pastime, but it was this step that was really hard to crack.

And in the whole world, there should be no one else who can hope to solve this puzzle except Xiao Jingyan.
