Raiders Guide

A six-foot wide bed of aquilaria wood hangs a crocodile twirled tent, embroidered with beads and silver thread begonia flowers all over the tent, and decorated with bead curtains.On the couch, there are sapphire pillows, soft silkworm ice mats, and jade belts and quilts.

Yan Yushu sat on the bed and rubbed his temples. He drank alcohol yesterday and he had a busy day, so he felt a headache at this moment.

Just about to lie down, Ji Muxian walked in, Yan Yushu looked at him, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"

What did Lou Yan and Lou Chong do to let people in like this.

"Gu won't come to congratulate tomorrow." Ji Muxian stepped forward and said, "Gu messenger sent you a set of tea sets with coral red and white plum patterns."

Yan Yushu got up, took his clothes and put them on his body, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Ji Muxian looked at his expression and saw that his expression was as usual, not as drunk as yesterday, blushing, and sleeping peacefully, "Gu today is here to tell you something."

"what's up?"

What made Ji Muxian so serious.

"Ming Wang proposed marriage to the Taiwei's mansion, and wants to marry the second young lady of the Yun family, and the Taiwei has already agreed."

"When will it happen?" Ming Wang wanted to marry Yun Jinse, he knew that Ming Wang and Yun's family got close recently, and he had already prepared for this matter, but he didn't know about the marriage proposal.

"Yesterday." Ji Muxian lifted his robe and sat down, "I didn't offer the appointment, I just mentioned it in private. The Taiwei has agreed, and I think the appointment will be made soon."

This matter had nothing to do with Yan Yushu, but Yun Jinse and Yan Yurong fell in love with each other. He didn't know how his elder brother wrote Yun Jinse back...

Forget it, my elder brother can't come back, so why waste Yun Jinse's prime time.

"You don't seem surprised."

Yan Yushu poured a cup of tea for Ji Muxian, "As early as I knew that His Royal Highness Prince Ming was close to the Yan family, I already knew about it."

Ji Muxian took a sip of tea, and sighed, "Father has already sent someone to fetch the money left by the Liu family, and when he gets it back, he will be sent to the border. Yushu thinks who is suitable to be the escort."

Yan Yushu recalled the generals in the court, and shook his head, "I don't know, is there someone in the king's mind?"

"I don't have any." Ji Muxian raised his eyebrows and said, "I just came out of the house alone, and I don't know much about the generals in the court."

"Your Majesty will choose someone to escort." Everyone knows that this batch of silver is sent to the border, and it is used by the border guards to guard the border. It is not necessary to say how important it is. Emperor Zhaohe will make himself trustworthy and capable. people go to escort.

"Yushu, the Prince of the Marquis of Jiangbei and the princess will arrive in Chang'an in the day after tomorrow." Ji Muxian put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "I don't think I can care about others for the time being. The important thing is to borrow troops. We cannot bear the consequences of not allowing the prince to marry him and not being able to borrow soldiers."

Yan Yushu raised his eyes to look at him, "Your Highness King Chong has a heart for the people, and Yushu admires it."

He was once assassinated by the prince, but now for the sake of his family and the world, he actually said that he could not care about whether the princess of the Marquis of Jiangbei married the prince or not.

It's not that he doesn't know the consequences of Ruoruo's marriage, but he is just worried that it will be self-defeating. At that time, he will not be able to borrow soldiers.

Ji Muxian smiled, "Why should Yushu make fun of Gu? The Marquis of Jiangbei has a strong military force. Even if the Khitan enters the Central Plains, the Jiang family will not be destroyed. However, it is urgent for Dasheng to borrow troops like the Jiang family."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Marquis of Jiangbei has troops, but they also need money to support them. It is not good for them to let the Khitan drive in and destroy crops and food. Besides, after the Khitan takes over, there are too many uncertain factors. Will they want to wipe out the Jiang family? They won't be willing to borrow troops to help."

Ji Muxian sighed. He is such a big man, he really doesn't feel melancholy, he is very low-key, "I know it, but people's hearts are the most unpredictable. If they are not careful, they would rather be broken than broken."

Yan Yushu was confident, and said with a slight smile, "No, they won't know."

On the second day, the sky darkened, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the raindrops were about to fall. Early in the day, someone came to the Taihua Hall to congratulate Yan Yushu on his ascension to the position of National Teacher. Yan Yushu took them one by one, and invited people to enter the hall later. attend banquet.

After the banquet, Yan Yushu sent the people who came to congratulate him out of the house, and Yan Xu handed him a greeting card, "My lord, Miss Yun sent someone to send me, saying that I invite you to meet me at Zuiyuxuan. "

It was Yun Jinse, Yan Yushu accepted the invitation, and said to Yan Xu, "Go and sort out the gifts I received today and see how much money I can pawn."

"Yes..." Yan Xu habitually ran away after listening to the order. After realizing what Yan Yushu said in his mind, he stopped again and said hesitantly, "My lord, is our Floating Life not bankrupt? The Xiangfu is also fine. There are so many good things sent here, pawning them will offend people."

"Now is the time when money is urgently needed, so I don't care about these." Yan Yushu knocked Yan Xu on the head, "What's more, I have already received the gift, and how to use it is my business. How can the gift-giver interfere with the collection?" How would a man of rites use this rite? Go quickly."

"Oh..." Yan Xu patted his head and left, as if...that's what the young master said, but he always felt that something was wrong.

The emperor will interfere with the recipients. For example, if the recipient of the emperor's gift accidentally damages it, that is a serious crime. Why?

"Nanzhi, let's go."

Zuiyuxuan is elegantly furnished and is a favorite place for noble ladies in Chang'an. When Yan Yushu entered the cubicle, Yun Jinse was already waiting. Seeing him enter, he got up and performed a blessing ceremony, "Jinse of the Yun family pays homage to the national teacher. "

Yan Yushu raised his hand and returned the gift, "Sister Yun shouldn't be so polite in private."

"Etiquette cannot be changed." Yun Jinse stood up straight, "Yushu, please sit down."

She invited him to come here this time, Yan Yushu probably knew why in his heart, after sitting down, he didn't take the initiative to speak.

The girl beside Yun Jinse poured wine and vegetables for the two of them, Yun Jinse picked up the cup and said, "Yushu, try this Biluochun."

Yan Yushu picked up the teacup, took a few sips carefully, and said, "The taste is fresh and refreshing, mellow and long-lasting, and the aftertaste is refreshing and sweet, very good."

"Since you like Yushu, let's take some back." Yun Jinse put down her teacup and motioned to the maidservant behind her. The girl hurriedly took the packed tea leaves and handed them to Yan Yushu.

The tea leaves are in a pear flower pot carved with purple sand. Yun Jinse knows that he loves pear blossoms, so this tea pot has been carefully thought out.

Yan Yushu bowed slightly and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Sister Yun, for letting go."

Coincidentally, Ji Muxian gave him a coral red tea set with white plum patterns, let's use it to brew this Biluochun.

Yun Jinse smiled, "Sister Yun doesn't have anything good to congratulate Yushu on her ascension to the position of national teacher, this tea was sent to my room by elder brother, so I have to borrow flowers to present to Buddha, as long as Yushu likes it."

"Sister Yun, don't worry, Yushu likes it very much."

With a haggard face, Yun Jinse took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Yan Yushu, "Yushu, I have to trouble you to give this thing to your brother."

Yan Yushu reached out to take it, he recognized this thing, Yan Yurong used to wear it on his body often.

"This is something I gave your brother before, and he sent someone back in the letter." Yun Jinse said this, her smile became bitter, "I understand what he means, but since I like him, I should understand He understands him."

"Daddy told me about Prince Ming's marriage proposal. I don't want to. I understand him. I don't blame him. I wait for him. I won't marry anyone but him. If he really doesn't come back, I'm his widow. .”

Yan Yushu looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but remained silent for a long time. In the troubled times, someone needs to carry a heavy burden to move forward. Yan Yurong was afraid that Yun Jinse would be mistaken, but Yun Jinse knew the general situation and never blamed him.

"I'm a boudoir daughter's family. I don't know how to return it to him. After thinking about it, I can only come to Yushu."

"Sister Yun, don't worry, I will definitely send it to my brother." Yan Yushu couldn't talk much about the relationship between them. He had already persuaded Yan Yurong, but he didn't know how to persuade Yun Jinse.

To persuade her to find a good marriage as soon as possible, or to wait for Yan Yurong, he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to persuade her.

"So, Jinse thanked Yushu in advance."

"Sister Yun is being polite."

In the past, Yan Yurong and Yun Jinse met and fell in love, and Yan Yushu knew it well. He remembered that Yan Yurong, a person who didn't like poetry, wrote Yun Jinse's name all over the paper. May I be like a star king like a moon, with bright and clean night and night streams.

At that time, he didn't understand what love was, but he felt that it was really a beautiful and satisfying thing to be filled with his name written word by word.

The sun shining on the yellow tiles above the palace casts a glazed color, making people lazy.

The Empress Dowager leaned on the couch and closed her eyes to meditate. The palace people outside came in and knelt down to report, "The Empress Dowager, the national teacher is asking to see you."

"National teacher, what is the national teacher doing in Aijia Palace?" The queen mother opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and then realized that the position of national teacher had been passed to Yan Yushu, "Let him come in."

"Ah..."

The Empress Dowager got up, supported by the palace servants, walked around the screen and went outside.

Why Yan Yushu came here this time, the Empress Dowager generally understood in her heart, but it was not so easy to ask for things.

Yan Yushu was led into the palace by the palace servants, he wore the clothes of the national teacher, his robes dragged on the floor, and bowed slightly to salute, "Join the Empress Dowager."

"National teacher doesn't need to be polite, please sit down." The queen mother sat upright and asked, "I don't know, what is the reason why the national teacher came to the Compassionate Palace of Aijia this time?"

Yan Yushu sat on the side, and the palace servants brought him some tea. He said bluntly, "This visit is a matter of state."

"The national teacher should know that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics. The national teacher came to see Ai's family for state affairs, and I am afraid that he will return without success."

Yan Yu wrote with a smile, "Yu Shu knows, but the empress dowager has a kind heart, and she must not let the soldiers and civilians at the border suffer."

He spoke flattering words, and the Empress Dowager had a benevolent face, with a smile on her face, "I can't bear Aijia, but Aijia is not a man, can't go to the battlefield to defend the country, and secondly, he has no ability to persuade the emperor. There's nothing you can do."

Yan Yushu didn't listen to her refusal, took a sip of tea, and smiled slightly, "The queen mother is the mother of the prince, how can she go to the battlefield, but what Yushu wants, only the queen mother can fulfill."

He won't stop easily, the queen mother asked, "I don't know what Yushu is asking for, if the Ai family can do it, it will definitely fulfill Yushu."

"Since that's the case, Yushu first thanked the Queen Mother." Yan Yushu got up and saluted. "Yushu wants to ask the Queen Mother to let Xie's family lead the families and contribute to the border guards."

No matter what you do, you will naturally ask for money, and the Queen Mother still maintains a smile on her face, "Yushu, what you said is for Dasheng, for the benefit of the soldiers and people at the border. It stands to reason that Ai's family has no reason to refuse, but Yushu , why don't you go to see the prince, instead come to see Ai's family first?"

Yan Yushu straightened up, hiding the smile on his face, "Yesterday, Yushu made a divination for Miss Xie Yunshang, she has an excellent fate..."

As soon as he said this, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked, "What is your destiny?"

"The Fate of the True Phoenix..." Yan Yushu let it go, "But..."

"But how?" The Empress Dowager and Xie's family, what they are most concerned about now is that they want Xie Yunshang to be the crown princess. Hearing what he said, the heart that let go is raised again.

"However, when two phoenixes fight, one must be injured."

"Two phoenixes..." The queen mother thought for a moment, stood up and asked, "Who is the other phoenix?"

Is Jiang Beihou the princess who is about to enter Chang'an?Or is it the daughter of the Chang'an family?

Yan Yushu bowed and replied, "It's Li Wanhua from the Li family."

"Li Wanhua..." The queen mother sat back and asked Yan Yushu with a smile, "Is there any solution for the national teacher to come to see Ai's family?"

"Yes."

"According to what the Ai family knows, the Yan family belongs to the crown prince. If you don't go to see Master Li, come to see the Ai family first..."

Yan Yushu laughed and said, "He belongs to the prince, but not from the Li family."

This is an interesting remark, and the Empress Dowager smiled even more, "What do you mean by the country's lord?"

"The queen mother understands in her heart, why must the jade book explain it?"

Pretending to be ignorant and pretending to be confused, this is for him to make it clear, Yan Yushu said, "Because no one would want to have a second Wang family."

"Are you afraid that the Li family will become the second royal family, but you are not afraid that the Xie family will become the second royal family?"

"The Xie family is no better than the Li family. If Li Wanhua becomes the crown princess and becomes the queen in the future and gives birth to a son-in-law, the Li family will be at the top of the sky and will not be shaken. If Miss Xie Yunshang becomes the crown princess, they will be able to check and balance with the Li family."

Xie Yunshang became the crown princess, whether the crown prince will let Xie Yunshang give birth to a son is still open to discussion, but the relationship between the two cannot be completely separated. If Xie Yunshang...

The queen mother looked at Yan Yushu with a gentle face, and sneered in her heart, "It is said that the new national teacher is a fairy-like person with benevolence in his heart, and he doesn't want to have so many ideas in his heart. The national teacher has never thought about it. After leaving Yunshang, are you still worried that the Xie family is not loyal to him?"

"Queen Mother, do you think that if the crown prince marries Miss Xie, he won't accept Li Wanhua?"

The Empress Dowager smiled even more, "Being married as a concubine and accepting as a concubine, since the national teacher came to see Ai's family first, he must have some idea, so that the prince Mingmei can marry my Yunshang?"

"Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Empress Dowager, the heart of a person in a high position is the most important thing. Yushu came to see the Empress Dowager first because he wanted the Li family to take the lead."

Yan Yushu bowed and said, "Queen Mother, as long as the Xie family wins the hearts of the army and the people, are you afraid that you won't get what you want?"

"The Ai family will seriously consider the words of the national teacher. After discussing with the elder brother, the Ai family will definitely give the national teacher a satisfactory answer."

"Yushu thanked the Queen Mother in advance." Yan Yushu bowed, "Yushu will take my leave first."

"The national teacher can do as he pleases."

The Empress Dowager's expression turned cold when she saw Yan Yushu's leaving figure. Yan Yushu, the national teacher's mind, was probably more unpredictable than Mu Chengge's.
