445 Behind the scenes

Yan Qi and Narcissus waited for nearly half of the night and didn't see Yan Zike come back, Narcissus was so sleepy that Ge You was almost paralyzed, Yan Qi said goodbye and left, and went back to the summer residence in the dark

Pushed the door into his room, but found that the study was still lit up, and stepped in gently, and saw Young Master Yan Jiu crooked on the chair, supporting his head with one hand, and closing his eyes as if he was asleep, but when he heard the sound of closing the door, he quickly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Qi: "Tell me." ”

"I can't help you," Yan Qi sighed, "Why did you suddenly change from chronic to acute, let's talk about it tomorrow, it's so late." ”

"So you didn't see the uncle, did you?" Young Master Yan Jiu ignored her nagging at all, raised his hand to pour himself tea, and seemed to be preparing to have a long talk with her all night.

"Yes, I heard that I have been negotiating every day recently about the competition between Da Mo and the Heavenly Dynasty, and I stayed in the palace when the talks were late. Yan Qi walked across from him and sat down, "First tell me what you heard again, with a look of a sudden opening. ”

"It's not a mouthful, it's just one more idea. Young Master Yan Jiu took a sip of tea, and then looked at Yan Qi fixedly, "Assuming that King Shou chose the safest way to wait and see what happens in the battle for the throne, and then suppose that the Bu family also adopted the same strategy as him and no one instigated or supported him to rebel, then, who spread the rumors about his rebellion to the ears of the former emperor? Who made the rumors that he had privately created the dragon robe and the national seal? Who is in the best interest of removing him from the succession candidates?"

"The current emperor?" Yan Qi asked.

"But as far as I know from Lord Xiao, the current emperor soaked with the uncle and Bu Xinghe almost every day during the Jinxiu study, and the three of them simply seized every moment of time to play, and then the uncle participated in the scientific examination and became an official, and the current emperor only went back to be his prince at that time, if you are one of those ambitious people, will you support such a prince who only knows how to play and has no enterprising spirit to inherit the unification?" The future is like gambling for some people, and the pressure bet also depends on whether the bet itself has potential - I asked Yuan Chang to go back and talk from his father's mouth, and learned that when he was a prince today, the house didn't even raise guests, and all the money was spent on eating, drinking, and having fun. ”

"I think the reason why he did it so obviously was probably to tell people that he wasn't interested in that position. Yan Qi thought about the face of the one today, and it was certain that no ambition did not mean no wisdom.

"Don't raise customers, don't accumulate money, don't associate with powerful figures, eat, drink and have fun every day, have two or three friends, just ask such a prince, who will put down the heavy pressure and wait for him to appreciate?" A strange smile hung on the corner of Young Master Yan Jiu's lips.

"So King Shou's real opponent is not him?" Yan Qi looked at his younger brother and vaguely knew what he wanted to say.

"Remember," Young Master Yan Jiu leaned forward slightly, "The most beloved son of the Queen Mother today is not this Long Live Lord, but ......"

"King Zhuang. "Yan Qidao.

"The current emperor and King Zhuang are brothers of the same father and mother, but unfortunately the current emperor has no interest in the dragon throne, and ran to the Splendid Academy early, avoiding the center of the power struggle, and the current queen mother Wan Guifei at that time, and Shou Wang's own mother Bu Guifei, at that time in the palace was a double female, behind them respectively represented two political forces, no matter which force finally wins, for the other force will be a catastrophe, no one will want to raise a tiger that may burst out at any time to eat people by the side, which determines the relationship between the two sides- It must be endless. Young Master Yan Jiu leaned back in the chair and lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, "Whether it is power or human instinct, no one wants to die, no one wants to sit still, so Concubine Wan Guifei put all her strength on her favorite youngest son when she couldn't count on her eldest son." ”

"I have a slight impression of this Zhuang Wang," Yan Qidao, "It is rumored that he is also a gentleman who eats, drinks and has fun and is endless, and now he has no real power in his hands, and he is idle every day, and he is an idle prince." ”

"If he wasn't 'idle', would he still be able to live like this?" Young Master Yan Jiu laughed, "Born in the royal family, I'm afraid that there are no fools, unless they are born." King Zhuang should be said to be very clever, or you can also say that he is afraid of death, so once he fails to succeed in ascending to the throne, he immediately picks himself up to show that he is harmless to humans and animals, so that he can settle down.

According to Lord Xiao, the former emperor was still reigning when King Zhuang, but not the King Zhuang we heard of today, the reason why this person is favored by the Queen Mother, naturally because of his excellence, the first is that he is clever and sweet-mouthed, anything can be said in his mouth; What he hates and what he is afraid of, this is not only what he can do, but also what Ruyan Jinglan who is close to us can also do this.

"With such a clever and likable son, there was no reason why Concubine Wan Guifei didn't fight for him. Wan Guifei is working hard in the palace, King Zhuang is working outside the palace, and the inside and outside should be combined, and it is not too difficult to stab Queen Shou in the heart, so at present, the incident of framing King Shou and destroying the Bujia back then, King Zhuang's suspicion has risen to the first place. ”

"But all this is just speculation," Yan Qi is always objective and calm, "without empirical evidence, we can't draw conclusions." ”

"Indeed, we have no empirical evidence for the time being," Young Master Yan Jiu bowed slightly, "and there are still some questions that cannot be explained, such as what kind of impact that Tianshi had on the former emperor, whether it was the main cause of the fiasco of King Shou, how the remnants of the Tianshi were in Aunt Yang's hands, why she put the remnants by your side, what role did the current emperor and the uncle play in the events of that year, and what is the relationship between the person who guided the murderer behind the scenes and Bu Xinghe." Now, it's your turn. ”

"It's over so soon? Tell me a little longer, I still want to hear it. Yan Qi gave him a cup of tea.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to go to sleep when I'm done. Young Master Yan Jiu showed no mercy.

"I don't think you can sleep today. Yan Qi also poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and told him Min Xuewei's words truthfully.

Young Master Yan Jiu did not feel a little sleepy, as Yan Qi relayed, a pair of eyes became darker and darker, and he sat there motionless, like a statue, until Yan Qi's words fell for a long time, he slowly took a breath, and his voice came out of his lips in a deep voice: "Uncle...... is good at reading people with words......" The latter words are difficult for even him to speak.

Knowing people by words, whether the person who writes is male or female, personality age, family background, industry, and even life experience can be inferred from the words.

If......

If the behind-the-scenes murder instructor also had the same specialty, after getting the river lantern on Nojima, he could deduce the general situation of the lamp writer based on the handwriting on the lamp, and then narrow down the scope of the lamp writer based on the name of the cursed person.

In addition, the behind-the-scenes murder instructor is familiar with the family members of the various official families in Kyoto, the rumors in the circle of the news spirit, the good at observation, and the memory is strong, and the small circle of cursed people is observed through each circle party and banquet, and then finds the one from the small circle that meets the conditions of the lamp writer inferred from the handwriting......

It's complicated, but for a person with a clear mind and a careful logic, doing the above is just a process of turning the brain a few times and falling into place.

Rather, a person who possesses the ability to reason by words, the identity of the official circle, the well-informed information, the keen observation and the prerequisites for discovering the river lantern......

Who else could there be besides Yan Zike?

"I can't figure it out. Young Master Yan Jiu's voice was unprecedentedly low and slow, "If it's him...... And why is he...... If he hadn't brought up the idea that there seemed to be a connection between those cases, I don't think anyone would have thought that this was someone behind the scenes, not to mention that he acted like an uninformed person, I don't believe that anyone can act so realistically, this is unreasonable, he sings himself out, and then acts in front of us, and then pretends to be behind the scenes, what is the picture? This is unreasonable. ”

Seeing that Yan Qi had been silent for a long time, Young Master Yan Jiu raised his eyes to look at her and said, "What do you think?"

"I didn't think about anything," Yan Qi's tone was as calm as ever, "instead of speculating behind his back, it's better to ask him directly." ”

"What if the answer is the one we don't want to accept the most?" Young Master Yan Jiu looked at her.

"I can accept any answer," Yan Qi said calmly, "but it doesn't mean that I won't do anything, I will do my best to strive for the best result, and for this, I can do whatever it takes." ”

Young Master Yan Jiu leaned back on the chair, looked at the dark courtyard outside the window, and said for a long time: "Now that I think about it, the poem on the Sanyou Cave may have been written by the uncle." ”

imitated Bu Xinghe's handwriting, denouncing his ruthlessness and unrighteousness.

That's why I can't explain why the Bu family was raided and destroyed, and Bu Xinghe still has the opportunity to go to Sanyou Cave to leave poems.

Only then can it be justified.

No wonder the clues to the Sanyou Cave are still kept, maybe Yan Zike hoped that someone could find the cave, see the poem, speculate about what happened between the three friends, and then scolded the person who betrayed the friend together.

Punish yourself with this.

In this way, salvation can be obtained.

It's no wonder that Yan Zike has done almost nothing to hinder his various behaviors in tracking down his life experience, and is probably waiting for him to reveal the whole truth in order to get his final liberation.

Before I knew it, the whole night passed like this, and the biting morning breeze penetrated through the cracks in the window, making the sleepless body shiver.

"Let's go back to the room and sleep for a while, if not, I'll take a leave of absence today." Yan Qi stood up.

Young Master Yan Jiu looked at her and said, "You still want to go out for a morning run?"

"yes, rain or shine. "Yan Qidao.

"And Xiao Chen?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu.

"Well, then we absorbed a new member," Yan Qi spread his hands, "and Comrade Yuan Chang." ”

"How far have you gotten with Yuan Chang?" asked Young Master Yan Jiu as he slowly stood up.

"If that pleases you — well, it's a steady daily date. "Yan Qidao.

Young Master Yan Jiu laughed: "Thank you, your spirit of sacrificing yourself to amuse me is worthy of praise, but thinking that I will have a brother-in-law Xiong in the future, my mood seems to be even worse all of a sudden." ”

"Okay, I'll go out and tell him in a moment that he's been dumped and honorably become an ex. "Yan Qidao.

Even Yuan Chang, who had not yet been the current one, didn't know that he had directly become his predecessor, and he was standing with Xiao Chen in the old place waiting for Yan Qi.

"Yesterday, the news came out of the palace that the venue for the match with Da Mo has been decided. Yuan Chang said.

Xiao Chen looked at him.

"Just north of the capital, in the middle of the 100,000 mountains. Yuan Chang snorted, "The Da Mo people are cunning, knowing that deep in the mountains is our court, and few people enter, so as to prevent our court from cheating in the form of the position, and according to my guess, the reason why Da Mo chose this place is only afraid that most of the people who brought the participants this time are familiar with the mountains and forests." ”

"What about the rules?" asked Xiao Chen.

"The rules are still being negotiated," Yuan Chang said, "I heard that the negotiators on both sides last night stayed up all night, and they were discussing this matter, and the result should be available today, and a big war will start in less than ten days." ”

However, Yuan Chang underestimated the efficiency of both sides of the negotiation, and when he and Yan Qi were having dinner at Zhiwei Zhai at noon that day, the latest negotiation results were reported in the palace.

"Each side selects 100 candidates for the contest, in addition to the generals, the first side selects one of their own chariots, horses and artillerymen and three soldiers in charge, and the remaining seven candidates are designated by the other party, and requirements: will be held by civil officials who do not know martial arts, and there must be a royal relative, a commoner, and a woman among the contestants on both sides - so it is counted as covering the different classes and fields of civil and military, noble, low, and male and female in both countries, so that it is more meaningful to win. The first candidate for the two sides to be determined is the general, the 'will' of the country of Da Mo will be the leader of their mission, Amur, and the 'handsome' of our dynasty will be the leading official of the negotiations with the big Mo on behalf of the Celestial Dynasty - Yan Zike. ”

"As for the rules, there is only one: the side that kills all the members of the opposing party, wins. 166 Reading Network
