Liang Jianyan

Chapter 5 A Joke

In order to appease the hearts of the people and calm the world, in addition to conquering the world, we must also rectify the people's livelihood.The Great Liang has only been open for six years, and yet another army has been raised to seize the throne, so the treasury is naturally in a panic.Liang Xuanliang succeeded to the throne at a young age but was violent by nature, so she didn't have a good reputation among the people.Therefore, if Liang Xuanliang wanted to stabilize the hearts of the people, he naturally had to spend time on stabilizing the country.Reforming the salt tax and reorganizing the market, the people only thought of how good the saint is today.

Hearing these words in Yan Chen's ears, although he was uncomfortable, he had to admit that he had been by Liang Xuanliang's side all this time, even though he was only 17 years old, he acted like an adult.He has read all the letters to Waichao one by one, and sometimes it takes a night to read them.Now I accompany him to inspect the shop and see how much effort he has put in when he talks about prices with those hawkers.

Seeing Liang Xuanliang sitting with the folks in the village, talking and laughing, without any imperial style, Yan Chen felt a tightness in his chest.

"Don't you think you are not worthy to be the emperor of this world?"

Yan Chen turned around and saw Qi Zhaoyan looking at him with a smile on his face.His impression of Qi Zhaoyan is really indescribable—the city is quite deep, thoughtful, and he is both an enemy and a friend.

This kind of person is really annoying.

Qi Zhaoyan knew what Yan Chen was thinking of him, but he didn't point it out, he just said leisurely: "I will go to Zhongshu Province to deal with business in a while, so you should stay with the emperor well."

"...Aren't you afraid that I'm not good for the emperor?"

"This is His Majesty's intention." Qi Zhaoyan said with a smile, "And with your Yanchen's ingenuity, you know better than me what to do and what not to do at this time."

Yan Chen and him looked at each other for a while, then chuckled, "I obey."

After Qi Zhaoyan left, Liang Xuanliang walked over.He glanced at the direction Qi Zhaoyan left, and then asked Yan Chen: "What did he tell you just now?"

"Qi Shilang asked the minister to protect His Majesty well."

"Heh, he really has a heart." Liang Xuanliang smiled, turned around and took a step, Yan Chen followed closely.

The two of them didn't say a word during this journey, Liang Xuanliang walked in front, Yan Chen followed behind.Until Fengyue Tower, Liang Xuanliang stopped, and Yan Chen also stopped.Liang Xuanliang walked into the building, and Yan Chen also walked in.In this way they went up to the attic and into a room.

Liang Xuanliang called Xiao Er to serve a pot of good tea, and he and Yan Chen were the only ones left in the room.For a while, the atmosphere was strangely quiet - even if he was on duty at night in the palace, Du Guanxuan was always by Liang Xuanliang's side.Now there are only the two of them, making Yan Chen really uncomfortable.

Liang Xuanliang smiled calmly, and waved to Yan Chen, saying Yan Chen, sit down.

Yan Chen was taken aback, not knowing what to do.

"I told you to come here." Seeing that Yan Chen didn't move, Liang Xuanliang was a little impatient, so he simply stood up and grabbed Yan Chen's hand, pulling him over.

Yan Chen was taken aback by his sudden action, and took a moment to answer "Yes".

"Heh, you, the former prince, really have a lot of face, I can't even invite you anymore."

"Your servant is flattered." Yan Chen picked up the teapot and poured tea for Liang Xuanliang, but was stopped - Liang Xuanliang took the teapot, filled Yan Chen's teacup, and then filled her own.

Yan Chen lowered his eyes slightly, only paying attention to Liang Xuanliang's every move from the corner of his eyes, thinking about the other party's thoughts.

"You don't have to be so careful." Putting down the teapot, Liang Xuanliang picked up the teacup and blew on the water, "I said before, I won't kill you now."

Or did I make some jokes with you before, are you afraid?

Yan Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he felt relieved, "Since Your Majesty didn't come to make fun of me, why should I order me to come with you?"

"Wouldn't it be entangled to death if you ask why all the things in the world come to you?" Liang Xuanliang said, "But if you have to give a reason... Those civil and military officials are really boring."

"Your Majesty thinks the minister is interesting?"

"Interesting, of course it's interesting." He poured himself another cup of tea, "If it's boring, can the two of us still sit here and drink?"

Seeing his calm expression, Yan Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip, but felt very bitter in his mouth.

Seeing Yan Chen frowning, Liang Xuanliang couldn't help laughing.

"Bitter?"

"……bitter."

"My cup is not bitter." Pushing her own cup in front of Yan Chen, Liang Xuanliang raised her chin slightly.

Yan Chen hesitated for a moment, then picked up Liang Xuanliang's teacup, drank it down in one gulp, but coughed it out all at once. "This tea..."

"Hahahaha, isn't it more bitter?" Seeing the slight anger between Yan Chen's brows, Liang Xuanliang actually laughed like a prank.

Realizing that he had been tricked by Liang Xuanliang, Yan Chen was a little embarrassed for a moment - he couldn't even see through such a child's prank.

"...Your Majesty is the body of a saint, please don't fool me anymore."

Liang Xuanliang didn't take it seriously, he laughed out loud, completely losing the appearance of being a king.

Seeing the young man in front of him smiling so heartily, Yan Chen didn't know whether to raise or lower his hand holding the teacup.

"Don't worry, if you drink too much of this tea, it will be beneficial and harmless to your body." Seeing Yan Chen's embarrassed look, Liang Xuanliang stopped laughing.He took Yan Chen's teacup and took a sip, "This tea is called Luoshuangbai. It is a tea planted by Master Jingsong. It is said that it can improve eyesight and improve thinking."

When Yan Chen heard the word "bright eyesight", he couldn't help looking up at Liang Xuanliang.Liang Xuanliang was still indifferent, poured the tea and then said: "It's really thanks to you, I have been drinking this stuff for 13 years."

This joking tone made Yan Chen's heart tremble slightly, and he couldn't help looking at Liang Xuanliang's left eye.

...In the final analysis, he was the one who failed him first.

"...I was young and ignorant at that time." He nodded slightly and said, "If Your Majesty remembers this matter, I have nothing to say."

Whether you want to kill me or imprison me is just a matter of your words.

Seeing Yan Chen's calm appearance, Liang Xuanliang only felt a breath in his chest - it would be nonsense to say that he didn't hold grudges against Yan Chen.He had to admit that keeping Yan Chen by his side and not killing him, but watching him respectfully be a servant of Great Liang and submit to his feet, really felt a pleasure of revenge.But he is the king of Great Liang after all, and a king must have the bearing and wisdom of a king.

Besides, he hasn't played enough with Yan Chen yet.

"Our accounts can be settled slowly. Right now, you just need to remember that you are a servant of Great Liang and one of my people." Liang Xuanliang said.

Since you belong to me, you have to listen to me.

Yan Chen was expressionless, but felt ridiculous in his heart—this sentence again, Yan Chen thought.Perhaps it was because the little emperor hated himself that he wanted to keep himself by his side.They are inseparable every day, just to let him see clearly who is the master of this world now.

For a person like me, just the pain on the flesh can't be softened, if you want to hit, you have to break my heart.

This little emperor is really scheming.

But you said that he was too thoughtful, but he didn't go to the morning court for several days in a row - he made the queen Si of Wang Yizhen, the political adviser, a beauty, and missed the gentle township every day, and within a few days, he made her a concubine Shu .For a while, she favored the sixth palace, and even the queen was afraid of her three points.

He thought, this little emperor really forgot the etiquette and righteousness of the monarch after a few days, and even regarded governing the country as such a trifling matter.

But this is also good, save him to toss me.

However, a few days later, Liang Xuanliang found another way to torment him.

"Martial arts?" Looking at the letter of order Li Mu gave him, Yan Chen felt a little dumbfounded—this little emperor asked me to go to martial arts?

Isn't he a child who has lost his temper again?The envoys from all over the world are performing martial arts banquets, why do you ask me to ride a captain of the forbidden army?

"Your Majesty's will cannot be disobeyed." Li Mu really couldn't figure out why the emperor would ask a white-faced scholar to represent the Qianji Army to perform martial arts, but since the emperor personally appointed him, as a general, he could only supervise Yan Chen. "This martial arts performance is related to the morale of the three armies, and your Majesty's face. Don't lose the face of the three armies, you scholar."

After a while, I will take you to the training ground and personally supervise your practice.

Li Mu's serious look made Yan Chen a little ridiculous - this Li Mu is probably used to being unruly on the battlefield, and he doesn't shy away from talking to people of his status, but instead speaks bluntly like training recruits. .

The little emperor has a good vision, it's not bad to have such an upright and loyal person as the general of the three armies in front of the palace.

When he came to the training ground, Li Mu threw a gun to Yan Chen without saying a word.

"Play a few moves first." He picked up another gun, "Let me see your background."

All the soldiers stood upright in the team, no matter how confused they were in their hearts, they did not dare to show it on their faces.

Glancing at Li Mu, Yan Chen tightly clenched the iron-tipped gun in his hand. "Then ask General Li to enlighten me."

Blocking, grabbing, piercing, stabbing, Li Mu pressed hard, not giving Yan Chen a chance to breathe.Although Yan Chen hasn't touched these weapons for a long time, his body still remembers the moves he learned when he was young, and he has stayed in the battlefield for several years, so he is no stranger to Li Mu and others' attacks.Li Mu stepped forward to stab, he drew his gun and hugged it obliquely, Li Muping twisted the gun back, and he pulled the gun up to block it.After going back and forth like this, it took a long time to decide the winner.Until half a moment later, Li Mu stabbed directly at the brow of Yan Chen's brow, and stopped a finger away from Yan Chen's brow - Yan Chen's gun was only a finger away from his waist.

...I didn't expect you, a white-faced scholar, to be so talented.

"General Li has won the prize." Putting away the gun, Yan Chen put it in the weapon rack.Li Mu kept looking at him—or the former prince Yan Chen was a hero on the battlefield, this is not a rumor.

"Whether it's a rumor or not, Yan Chen is not a simple person." Liang Xuanliang was looking at the court documents sent by envoys from various countries.After listening to Li Mu's report on today's martial arts practice, he found it interesting - although he had never really seen Yan Chen's martial arts, he had heard many people talk about Yan Chen's heroic appearance on the battlefield.

"When you tried his skills, you put in a bit of effort."

"Returning to Your Majesty, I had spare energy at the beginning, but later..."

"Later you also started fighting seriously?" Putting down the documents in her hand, Liang Xuanliang looked up at Li Mu, then shook her head with a smile, "Yan Chen is your subordinate, you have such a strong general, I think the military performance of the three armies will be very good." Wonderful."

Li Mu is a straightforward person. Hearing what Liang Xuanliang said, he couldn't choose what to say when he was so happy.He said what His Majesty said, at first I thought that this little boy couldn't even hold a gun steadily, but I didn't expect him to be really good at it, I haven't played so happily for a long time!

"Oh?" Liang Xuanliang raised her eyelids slightly, "It seems that Yan Chen really has a lot of skills, and he can make you, an unstoppable crazy lion, appreciate three points."

You, if you were in the previous dynasty, maybe you could fight with him on the battlefield!

"This... I'm vulgar by nature, I forgot Yan Chen's identity. I didn't mean to praise him..."

"Then you're from the bottom of your heart?" Liang Xuanliang suddenly put on a straight face, narrowing his eyes, and his tone was a bit cold, "Do you think I'm not as good as him?"

When the emperor said this, Li Mu was even more confused. He was not as smart as Qi Zhaoyan, and he could figure out the holy will, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted: "I am loyal to your majesty, please forgive me for my tongue."

"That's all." Liang Xuanliang waved his hand, "Since it is the third army that I called Yan Chen to join, he is now one of my people. Your praise of him proves that my vision is right. I am happy."

"I... I am terrified."

"If you are panicked, who will help me fight the country?" Liang Xuanliang reached out to support Li Mu as she got up and went down the steps. "Since the late Emperor was alive, you have fought with me, the Liang family. I know your temperament. I am here in Great Liang, and General Li has contributed a lot."

What he said was three parts majestic and seven parts sincere, Li Mu's heart was instantly moved, and he made another big gift, saying that Li Mu should be His Majesty, who will go through life and death for Great Liang, and will not hesitate to do so.

After Li Mu left, Qi Zhaoyan came out from behind the curtain, and said with his tongue, "Your Majesty's trick of capturing people's hearts is really admirable, admirable."

Liang Xuanliang smiled and said that since you came back because of me, I will not care about you.

If you let me hear uncomfortable words again next time, I will cut your tongue off!

Qi Zhaoyan saluted respectfully, saying that the minister would bear in mind His Majesty's teachings.

"You have the skills to play tricks, why don't you tell me what you said to those envoys of Zi Fan barbarians today."

"Hey, the minister is so happy at this moment that he almost forgot the business." Qi Zhaoyan sat in the lower hall and said that the minister met with the envoys of the three kingdoms today and talked about business and tribute, but the most interesting thing was Tubo.

"Gesang Deji Zanpu of Tubo wants to marry Daliang."

Yan Chen thought for a while, "I remember Zanpu Gesang Deji of Tubo is a woman."

"Your Majesty has a good memory." Qi Zhaoyan said, "I really admire you."

Liang Xuanliang didn't bother to pay attention to his glib tongue - now he was even more curious about who this Gesang Deji would choose?
