Chapter Eighty-Four: The Monarch and the Minister
Nanyue sat down calmly, but after watching Yan Min pour wine by herself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The poured wine was directed at Nan Aotian.
Wan Yan Min raised his glass and saluted, and said calmly and wisely: "This first cup of wine, I want to thank the prime minister's adopted daughter If this, I have already mentioned in the court, I have been in the court for 14 years, and the symptoms of my 14 years of madness were cured on the night of the marriage with the queen, Yue'er can really be described as my medicine; ”
Feng Yanchen paused for a moment with the food chopstick in his hand, and quickly covered it up with a kind smile.
Nan Yue was shocked when she heard this, Wan Yanmin said these words to Nan Aotian, was it to appease, woo, or obstacle? But knowing that this was the emperor's gentle technique, when she heard the sentence "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for", she still had an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Due to nervousness and unnaturalness, the food chopsticks in Nanyue's hand kept falling on a food plate filled with nuts, and the almonds were stuffed into her mouth one by one, and she didn't know the taste of eating.
Wan Yanmin smiled at the corner of his mouth, quietly sandwiched a piece of fresh fish in a good position into Nanyue's bowl, and said softly to Nanyue with a side face: "Yue'er's body is too thin, so it's better not to eat it blindly." There was even a bit of pampering in his voice.
Nanyue had no surprise for Wan Yan Min's sudden movements, so she had to take it obediently, bowing her head and fiddling with the fish bones, and the unrest in her heart gradually swelled and spread.
This demeanor was in Nan Qingxue's eyes, but it was more like Nan Yue deliberately pretentious in front of her, showing off the strong love between Wanyan Min. I can't help but be jealous.
Nan Aotian quietly looked at Yan Min's series of demeanors, a fine light flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared, turning into a calm and peaceful sharpness brewing in his eyes, slowly raised the wine in the cup, took a sip, savored it for a while, and said: "Yue'er was delicate and sick when she was young, and she was injured in the face, she was able to enter the palace as the queen, and was so appreciated and loved by the emperor, it is her blessing, and it is also the glory of my Nanfu, the emperor is so loved, and the ministers are ashamed." ”
Wan Yan Min did not refute Nan Aotian's politeness, but continued to smile and raised the second glass of wine: "This second cup is to thank the prime minister for taking the lead after the collapse of the father and the emperor, and assisting the queen mother to help the queen mother rescue the northern underworld in the chaos. The prime minister can be said to have turned the tide with the power of one person, supported the building in the future, and the hard work is as high as this, and there are no two people in the Fengxuan Palace. ”
Wan Yan Min looked straight at Nan Aotian, and drank it all in a chic manner.
Nan Aotian was a sigh in his heart, this little emperor was thoughtful and respectful, could it be that he didn't know anything about the grievances between himself and the previous emperor. This is impossible, how can Empress Xuan be so generous and keep her mouth shut about the past. Even if Wan Yan Min really just recovered his mind not long ago, he would not be completely ignorant of the chaos back then.
However, as far as Xuanhou's lukewarm attitude towards Nanfu in the past fourteen years, she really doesn't seem to know the inside story of the Battle of Chuanyin, even in the court, she has always only doubted and tested herself. Could it be that Wan Yan Guchen really kept his promise before leaving the palace to fight, and did not tell Zhong Chuxuan the truth of the matter, so this shrewd and ruthless woman did not regard him as a thorn, and Wan Yan Min knew nothing?
Nan Ao Tianxin beat a few times, but he couldn't figure out Yan Min's true intention at the moment. I had to salute in return, and said respectfully: "The minister and the first emperor have the friendship of classmates, and they are also siblings." It is natural to fulfill the responsibility of a courtier for the North Underworld. Even so, he failed to expose Yelu Mingxiu's conspiracy and almost fell into the disadvantage of the royal family. The emperor does not punish, but favors, which is really tormenting the ministers. ”
Wan Yanmin smiled even deeper, listening to Nan Aotian's humble words. In his mind, he only relived the scene above Wanyan Guchen's funeral fourteen years ago, when he was dressed in filial piety, and the world in front of him was only full of funeral flowers and dim wind and sand, with hatred and love for his deceased father, I couldn't believe that the figure of Ying'an, who had taught him to hold a pen and take him to ride and shoot, had completely disappeared.
And all this appeared, even if the queen mother deliberately concealed it from him, how could he not know what role Nan Aotian played behind it.
The initiator of Xia Ji's entry into the palace, who is not him?
Fourteen years ago, in the snow-white sky of the palace, the little Wan Yanmin was held by a hand without temperature, and there were no tears in the beautiful eyes of Empress Xuan, who were as cold as death. The sadness like a cold pool in those eyes was burned into Wan Yanmin's five-year-old eyes. The young emperor grew up in an instant.
For many people around the world, sometimes, growing up is a momentary thing.
There was silence for a while, Nan Aotian didn't know what Yan Min was thinking, and didn't dare to say more.
Nanyue felt that the atmosphere was strangely oppressive, and glanced at Wan Yanmin with some concern, this person exuded an aura that made her uneasy at the moment.
The silence was broken by Wan Yan Min's third glass of wine, Wan Yan Min's expression was relaxed and comfortable, and he said warmly: "This third cup is the wedding wine I have preserved, and I and the Queen Mother both hope to see the Nan family and the Du family get married." Yelu Mingxiu has been subdued, the military generals in the Du General is the greatest, and now the son of the Nan family and the Miss Du family have become a good couple, not only to force back Helian Tuo's conspiracy, but also to make our dynasty civil and military harmony, and stabilize the foundation of the great cause. ”
Nan Yue looked at Yan Min Ruo's faint smile as if she had no light Fengyue, and Yan Yan was obviously as sincere as jade, but she always felt that there was a veil like a cloud in those deep phoenix eyes, and his true heart was always at the bottom.
Which side is his true appearance.
When Feng Yanchen heard this, there was doubt in his eyes, and he glanced at Nan Aotian carefully, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.
Nan Aotian didn't dare to take the third glass of wine easily, a dark cloud covered his eyes, and he actually left the table and kowtowed, and said in a loud voice: "The minister asks the emperor to forgive the minister for the crime of disrespect." The minister had no choice but to refute the prince of Xiqi in a hurry that day, and did not take into account Long Yan's superiority, which hurt the dignity of our country. ”
Wan Yanmin lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze stayed on Nan Aotian for a while, and he spoke in an atmospheric manner: "Prime Minister, please get up, it's a good refutation that day! The eldest husband acts informally, the prime minister does not need to be responsible for this matter, and it is too late for me to commend him, how can he indiscriminately hurt the hearts of virtuous ministers. The prime minister also invites him to sit down quickly, I and the prime minister, today I don't stick to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, but only talk about the family-in-law. ”
There was an unquestionable command in the gentleness, but the strength just hinted at the greatest courtesy to a courtier.
Nan Aotian was shocked, no matter whether Wan Yan Min's words were sincere or not, his maturity and sophistication and sleekness had greatly exceeded his imagination.
The young man in front of him clearly knows how to skillfully manipulate the overall situation and buy people's hearts. The most powerful thing is that he always seems to be able to grasp the key interests to drive and control his subordinates, so that everyone willingly becomes a pawn in the direction he predestined.
Nan Aotian felt a chill in his heart, and respectfully bowed again before entering the table.
Hold the wine glass firmly in one hand, pour the wine, and raise both hands to face Wan Yanmin: "The saint is gracious, and the minister is grateful." The minister asked the emperor to choose a specific time and let Qingyun and Miss Du Jia become a gift. ”
"Slow-" Feng Yanji stood up abruptly, interrupting Nan Aotian.
