Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Sow discord

Lin Rongchen said: "Did the grand master know that you are close to me, so didn't he ask you something?" His underlying meaning was—did the grand master not let you monitor my every move?

Yan Xi shook his head, obviously he hadn't recovered from the dizziness just now.

"Yan Xi, Fu Zhuo is vicious, don't lose more than you gain."

This kind of caring warning made Yan Xi feel very uncomfortable. "The emperor knew that I was following Fu Zhuo, why didn't he shy away from it and let me follow you?"

Lin Rongchen stretched his slender and straight legs, "You want to follow me around, why should I avoid you? Is it possible that you really believe that you will betray me?"

These words hit Yan Xi's heart like a drumstick, making his heart beat like a drum.He stared at Lin Rongchen for a long time as if he didn't know Lin Rongchen, "Does the emperor really trust me so much?"

"I trust my eyes, and I also trust my intuition. If you betray me one day in the future, it will be because I don't know people well, and I can't blame others." No matter how Lin Rongchen uses Yan Xi, at least he doesn't want to be in this relationship between the monarch and his ministers. He has a relationship with Yan Xi. "I forgot to tell you one thing. In a few days, Xiang Jiayan should be exiled to Yansai."

"Weichen..." He felt guilty again and blamed himself. "It's all my fault."

"That's not all. At least in this matter, Fu Zhuo had a strong hand. He wanted to assassinate Xiang Jiayan when he was in exile, and he will not stop until he gets rid of him."

Yan Xi hurriedly said: "Is there a way for the emperor to save your lord's life?" He believes that Lin Rongchen has a way, and he is always a person who can make people feel at ease.Since Yan Xi came to Beijing, he can handle everything he encountered with ease.This ability to be so powerful that people can't help but rely on and believe in it may be regarded as a natural talent.

"Xiang Jiayan was born in Hanguan, which is next to the county town. He met Mrs. Xiang by chance during a visit. The two fell in love at first sight and promised each other for life. In order to prevent him from being accused of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, Mrs. Xiang broke up with Wen Su. I originally wanted to send him to Hanguan... After all, he is a close relative of flesh and blood, even if we cut off contact, Wen Su will not die. What's more, Mrs. Xiang's cousin entered the Northern Zhou harem again, and I opened my eyes Just turn a blind eye and let him go." Lin Rongchen sighed, feeling very regretful, "It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes."

Yan Xi was silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Rongchen took a few steps, then turned around and said, "I have one more thing to tell you about your title in the palace, is there any word you like?"

"..." Yan Xi shook his head, "Not yet. Everything is up to the emperor to decide."

Lin Rongchen pondered for a while, then raised his eyes and said, "How about calling me Concubine Xi? Xi and Xi have the same pronunciation, and both have the meaning of light, okay?"

"It's all right." Yan Xi became more and more uneasy. Will he really live up to Lin Rongchen's expectations?If there is a change at that time, what should we do?

Lin Rongchen tucked the quilt up for him, "Go to bed early, I'm leaving."

Yan Xi was tossed and turned overnight, and went to Taishi Mansion the next day.

After careful calculation, this is the third time he has come, and he is already familiar with the road.

When he arrived at Taishi Mansion, Fu Zhuo was playing with birds.The bird was green all over, with a pair of black claws, strong and powerful, and its eyes the size of mung beans rolled around. The cage was not closed, but the bird did not fly away.

From time to time, Fu Zhuo stuffed some bird food into the birdcage. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn't turn his head and said, "Master Yan is here?"

"Yeah." Yan Xi saluted, "I have seen the Grand Master."

"Okay, no need to be too polite." Fu Zhuo smiled and teased the bird, "Master Yan, what do you think of this bird?"

Yan Xi didn't know why, "It's pretty nice."

"Well, it's pretty, but it's useless." Fu Zhuo withdrew the feeding hand, "It has been locked up for a long time, and it has forgotten that it can fly. When the birdcage is opened, it doesn't know how to go. Talk to people But it’s quite different, some people don’t hit the south wall and don’t look back even though they know it’s impossible, Master Yan, right?”

Could this be Lin Rongchen?Yan Xi smiled awkwardly, "What the Grand Master said is true!"

"This old man was planning to meet Master Yan, but he didn't expect him to come first." Fu Zhuo closed the birdcage and returned to the flower hall, "But something is wrong?"

Yan Xi nodded, "The lower official overheard the conversation between the emperor, Chang Xiaowei and Mr. He."

"Oh? What did they say?" Fu Zhuo became interested.

Yan Xi knew everything, "The emperor thinks highly of Chang Xiao, and he intends to let him go to the southwest to learn from General Ji to lead troops to fight, and... and the last time the emperor heard Mr. Feng said that the sky was different, he didn't move, just to wait for this time. "

"Really?" Fu Zhuo looked sideways, "How do you say it?"

Yan Xi didn't know what was going on in Lin Rongchen's mind, so he simply guessed what he had guessed, "The emperor wants to transfer troops from the grand master, but he is afraid that the grand master will not give it. In front of all the officials, Grand Master naturally cannot refuse Southwest's reason, otherwise it will be justified, and if it is more serious, he will even become Yunchu's sinner."

Fu Zhuo nodded, how could he not guess this? "What else did the emperor say?"

"The emperor... also talked about the draft." Yan Xi thought about it last night, but he didn't think of what to say that would make Fu Zhuo feel valuable, so he simply arranged the draft. The method of choosing a concubine restrains the ministers of the court. From what the following officials have seen, isn’t Lord Huang’s daughter also participating in the selection of concubine this time? I’m afraid the emperor will love her very much in the future, and by then her status will be equal to that of Concubine Yi. Stop Concubine Yi from conferring queen, and secondly use this to drive a wedge between Grand Master and Master Huang."

Fu Zhuo's face darkened, because he actually believed Yan Xi's words.This matter is also Yan Xi's speculation, but after thinking about it for a while, it is almost the same meaning, and it is not a secret.

The reason why Yan Xi said this was because he really thought so, and felt that this method was very feasible, and he planned to recommend it to Lin Rongchen.After all, Fu Zhuo and Huang Jingchun are using each other. Once there is a conflict of interest, the "friendship" will be in jeopardy, and they can turn against each other at any time.

"What else does Master Yan know?"

Yan Xi's hesitation made Fu Zhuo even more anxious, "Sir Yan, you have something to say, don't worry about it."

The rest of the words are the purpose of his coming to the Grand Master's Mansion.

"The emperor knew that the grand master wanted to kill Xiang Jiayan, so this time he followed the grand master's wishes and dispatched Mr. Xiang to Yansai. He was sure that the grand master would attack Xiang Jiayan. At that time, he will use this Tell Wen Su about it."

Yan Xi paused, and then said, "I heard that Wensu's niece is now the concubine of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After all, Lord Xiang has some connections with the Northern Zhou royal family. If he died in exile in a foreign land, the emperor will definitely push all the responsibilities to the queen mother." Master. A secret letter was sent to the county, and Mrs. Xiang, there is no guarantee that Wen Su will not go to the emperor of Northern Zhou to file a complaint with the emperor in order to avenge his son-in-law, and I am afraid that the border will change."

Fu Zhuo didn't take it seriously, "Then Wen Su's father and daughter have severed ties for more than 20 years. He would beg the Northern Zhou royal family to send troops to attack the city for Xiang Jiayan? Is he crazy? Besides, even if he is crazy, the Northern Zhou emperor can't go crazy too. Bar?"

"Of course not. But if the emperor agrees to some conditions of Bei Zhou, such as... ceding the land or giving him enough property, there is no guarantee that he will not agree to accompany the emperor to stage such a play. At that time, the emperor will announce to the world with an imperial decree This battle started with the Grand Master, not only took over the military power on the border of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as a matter of course, but the Grand Master lost the hearts of the people, and I am afraid that his success will come to naught.”

Yan Xi's analysis is clear and logical.The more Fu Zhuo heard this, the more he frowned. This Lin Rongchen is now in a hurry to jump over the wall, maybe he will really lure wolves into the house in order to deal with him, and run to cooperate with the enemy and betray the country by himself.Even if Xiang Jiayan was once his capable minister, it is useless now, and he can still use him before he dies, this is what Lin Rongchen would do.

Fu Zhuo believed it nine out of ten, and asked, "What do Lord Yan think?"

Yan Xi said: "As long as my lord keeps Xiang Jiayan alive and lets him send home letters every now and then, everything should be fine."

Fu Zhuo regretted it at the beginning. Why did he take such a hot potato into his hands? If he had known this, he should have suggested that Xiang Jiayan go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then find any reason to frame him for colluding with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and attempting to rebel. Everything will be fine what?

Not long after Yan Xi left Taishi Mansion, Huang Jingchun arrived.

Fu Zhuo asked about the draft, Huang Jingchun was afraid that he would misunderstand, and explained: "Don't worry, the grand master, if it wasn't for the emperor's decree, among the hundred officials, all women who have reached the age of fifteen and are not married must participate in the draft. Wan'er will not be allowed to enter the palace, even if he is selected to serve the king, he must always put Concubine Yi first."

"Really?" Fu Zhuo said nonchalantly.

"Naturally." Huang Jingchun wiped away the sweat that didn't exist on his face, "The grand master must not fall into the emperor's scheme to sow discord."

Even Huang Jingchun knew it was a trick to sow discord, how could Fu Zhuo not know?But I have to admit that this trick is very good at sowing dissension, at least now he doesn't trust Huang Jingchun completely.

What Yan Xi said was right, as long as Lin Rongchen pampered Huang Wan, she might be crowned empress. When Huang Jingchun became the head of the state, would he still be willing to follow him and risk his life to rebel?Anyone with a little brain knows how to choose.

He has only two options now, either to speed up and make trouble before that, or to find a way to deal with Huang Wan so that she can't take the back seat. Get rid of it together with Huang Jingchun.

Fu Zhuo stroked the wrench and asked, "How about the mining business?"

Huang Jingchun said: "Everything is going well. However, the mountain will be closed due to heavy snow in October, and all mines will be shut down. I ordered a batch of spears, spears, spears and halberds half a month ago...just waiting for enough gold."

Fu Zhuo said: "How much did you order?"

Huang Jingchun replied: "Five thousand. The money and goods will be settled by next spring."

"An additional [-]. When the weapons are handed over, we will start the incident immediately."

Ye Chang has many dreams, now he not only has to guard against Lin Rongchen, but also guards against Huang Jingchun's defection, he is really tired.
