The eldest prince's expression moved, and so did the eighth prince, since Emperor Yan said that he was sick, he no longer took care of things, if this matter related to the border was not handled well, he would lose a lot of points in his eyes, but the gain would outweigh the loss.

"I hope you will think clearly, this time the border general is gone, once the Great Qi breaks through the border pass, the iron hooves enter the pass, the people suffer from the war, and the people's hearts are in turmoil. Yan Zhen's tone sank, and he said: "The ministers should not have forgotten the lesson of Zhongyi Town five years ago, how the father dealt with it at that time, whether he was present or not should still remember it vividly." ”

Five years ago, in Zhongyi Town, that is, when Zhang Kaifeng was at the border, a barbarian tribe took advantage of the lack of people on the border to lead his troops to attack, although the siege was finally relieved by Lin Yuanhe's help. But this incident shocked the government and the opposition, Emperor Yan was furious, the military department bore the responsibility, the inaugural military department lost his head, and the whole family was sat down. Most of the military officials were dismissed, and local officials were even beheaded. The officials at the upper level of the imperial court were not only in the military department, but the other five departments were also purged to varying degrees. The storm lasted for a month, and the officials of Dayan were terrified, and no one was stable.

Some of these people took the opportunity to take the position here, and now Yan Zhen brings up the old matter again, although Emperor Yan ignores the government, but once this matter is big, it will definitely set off a storm. These people are all shrewd people, and of course they understand the stakes, but neither of the two factions is convinced, and it is difficult to open a breakthrough.

"Now that everything has been said about this, everyone is worried about their father. The fourth brother must have a way to do it, so it's better to say it openly and honestly, and let me and others refer to it together. The eldest prince was the first to speak to break the atmosphere of the place.

With the eldest prince speaking first, the breathless atmosphere was loosened a little, and the ministers of the eldest prince's faction also chimed in.

The eighth prince also said: "Since the fourth brother has a good plan in his belly, we will wait and see." ”

Now that there is a consensus, the next step is to discuss, and the people are no longer so repulsive to each other, and although they quarrel in the discussion, it is clear that they are no longer as nonsense and waste time as before.

Unconsciously, the sun was setting, and the guards by the door did not know how many shifts they had rotated, but the Taihe Hall was still brightly lit, and they were all discussing in the hall except for eating and relieving their hands.

The night was dark, and in Yuxiu Palace, a woman in Tsing Yi was looking left and right outside the door, as if she was waiting for someone, her face was a little anxious, and the palace lady beside her was helpless to persuade this stubborn master.

Soon after, the full moon hung high, and footsteps could be heard on the silent road. Yan Zhen, who was dressed in court clothes, had a handsome face, and after a day of deliberation, he was still bright, but he was obviously tired in his slightly heavy steps.

"Brother, why did you come back so late. Qingqing stepped forward.

Yan Zhen was interrupted by his sister, only then came back to his senses, looked at Qingqing with a rare smile, and said: "The court is busy, I originally wanted to go back after asking my mother to say goodbye, but it's you, why don't you rest so late." ”

"I'm worried about you, there are so many people in the Taihe Palace, brother, you are alone, I'm afraid you can't cope with those old foxes. Qingqing said.

Yan Zhen smiled dumbly, and said: "You also underestimate your brother and me, although I haven't entered the court for a long time, how can those people calculate me, it's just that there are some things that you have to do yourself." ”

"Is there a result?"

"How can it be so easy, how can those people easily loosen the fat that has reached their mouths, and only barely withdraw their direction. Yan Zhen's eyes were deep, and he said, "There are still many things to do next, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

"It must be the eldest brother and the eighth emperor brother who are getting in the way again, it's so hateful. Qingqing raised his fist, his face full of indignation.

"That's just part of it, and what I'm most lacking right now is manpower. The people who can help me, I haven't been in the court for a long time, and I don't even have a reliable person by my side. Yan Zhen was helpless, there were generals around him, but there was a lack of strategists around him, and the generals alone couldn't do anything. At this time, Yan Zhen knew the importance of strategists, and he didn't have to bow down to everything, but now, most of the strategists had fallen into the side of the eldest prince and the eighth prince, and it was even more difficult for him to find one.

Qingqing smiled and said, "I might be able to help you." ”

"Oh, when did you have this thought. Yan Zhen was surprised, but he didn't take it seriously, he just thought that his sister was comforting him.

"You don't believe me. How could Qingqing not see the perfunctory words in his brother's words, so he was unhappy.

"How could it be. Yan Zhen hurriedly brushed it off and smiled awkwardly.

"Here's for you. Qingqing took out a letter from his cuff and said, "When I went out of the palace to play today, someone gave it to me." ”

Yan Zhen took the envelope and opened the envelope, on the letterhead, there were eight sharp words, set the world, why do you need a million teachers. His eyebrows raised, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and said, "We'll see." ”

"How can there be something. Yan Zhen asked.

"I miss you. Qingqing said.

"I'm afraid it's not me. Yan Zhen shook his head, how could he not guess the thoughts of this sister of the scriptures, and couldn't help sighing: "I saw him, but he didn't come back with me." ”

"Why?" Qingqing shook his brother's arm.

Yan Zhen looked at his sister's face and couldn't bear to hurt her with a sense of happiness in love, but he also thought that if he didn't fall deep, it would be good to tell her now: "There are so many talented and handsome people in Dayan, why are you so obsessed with him alone? ”

"Uh-----。 Qingqing didn't understand why her brother was so different today, but she quickly understood the meaning of the words, and her face was full of sweetness, and she radiated a beautiful look against the moonlight: "He is the only color in my life, and life has become more different with him." ”

"You're so stupid, he's destined to be more than one by his side. Yan Zhenquan said. This sister has lived in the palace since she was a child, and she can get anything, and she is rebellious and unwilling to stay in the palace until she meets that person and changes her.

Qingqing thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "I know, but I don't care." ”

"You don't care, but will your father, queen and mother agree?" Yan Zhen was a little angry: "He can't give you any promises, and you don't regret it?"

Qingqing, who automatically ignored the first half of the sentence, said: "If you love, you love, if two people are together, you want each other's commitment, then love is not a transaction." What is the meaning of this kind of love, as long as his heart for you remains the same, it is enough to always have a place for you in his heart. After all, love is not possession, and if one day he tells me that he is leaving, I know that it is not too late to let go when I can't keep him. ”

"I hope that when that day comes, you have not forgotten today's words and will be able to bear it. Yan Zhen smiled.

Qingqing looked at his brother, and then said seriously: "Brother, when you meet that person, it may be different." However, this can be a bit difficult for you, and you will be away from anyone who sees you with an ice cube face all day long. ”

"Pretend to be deep with me. Yan Zhen shook his head and walked away.

The two brothers and sisters walked side by side on the path, could they get along, and the elongated figure came from laughter from time to time.
