The crescent moon hangs in the air, illuminating the cold plums falling in the courtyard, and the winter is coming to an end.

Yang Yan's expression was slightly uncomfortable, and he said: "Grandfather, why do you deliberately do such a thing, I am sincere to Ah Ci......

Yang Yongnian sighed: "Too many things have happened this year, you are not in Beijing, you don't know what has happened in the past six months, I am old, if I go one day, this family ...... You were born to be a general, but the harder a military general is, the more he will be guarded against, and the king is suspicious by nature......"

Yang Yan was silent, and the old man with a slightly hunched back sighed: "I didn't expect it...... You actually found the fourth child...... This is the immortal luck of our Yang family. The Yang family has you and your fourth uncle, with your talent and your fourth uncle's resourcefulness, one inside and one outside, and after a hundred years, I can rest assured. ”

"But what do these things have to do with Ah Ci, a woman in the back house? I don't want to deceive her, and she will understand my heart for her sooner or later. ”

Yang Yongnian glanced at his grandson, "Confused! You think that girl is simple? If she didn't have a few means, her third room would have been eaten in the Li family a long time ago, and there would not even be any scum left. The Li family's big house is from the Shen family, and they have been stabbing behind their backs all these years, assassinating the Li family's ......"

"These are just backhouse women......"

"If you look at the women of the Shen family as a woman in the back house, then you will be eaten and wiped clean by them sooner or later, you have not seen Queen Shen's methods back then, and you will not lose half a point to men, not later...... Alas, it's better that you still don't know these things...... Think about it, if the Li family collapses, then what is the difference between the Li family and the Shen family, it is just two legs in a pair of pants. Li Weiqing is too upright and unwilling, caring about blood and family affection, and constantly avoiding it over the years, so that the Shen family's hands are getting deeper and longer. But the five girls of the Li family seem to have insight into all this, and in the past half a year, the Li family's big house has almost been wiped out...... Even the Shen family's plans have been hindered by many obstacles, and everything is not going well! ”

Li Shuci's dark and defensive gaze appeared in Yang Yan's mind, and said, "Grandfather, what do you mean ......?"

"Alas...... I can't help it, our Yang family is indispensable to your fourth uncle, but your fourth uncle is because of ...... That man...... He has suffered a lot over the years, and he has a deep grudge in his heart...... Since he is alive, but he is not returning to the Yang family, don't you still understand and don't know what he is going to do? He will avenge this...... And the enemy...... I think what the monk said back then might be a prophecy. Yang Yongnian looked straight at his eldest grandson and said, "The marriage between you and the five girls of the Li family is imperative, your sister has already exchanged Geng posts with Shen Yuan, and the marriage has been decided...... We, the Shen family, and the Li family will be people in the same boat in the future...... That's why Li Xiangcai and I decided your marriage as early as possible to prevent changes! ”

Yang Yan's palms suddenly broke out with fine sweat, and his eyes looked directly at the old man opposite who was thin and full of ravines, "Grandfather, we are going to ......"

Seeing Yang Yongnian nodding, Yang Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he heard Yang Yongnian say: "Now that the court has removed the neutral line of the Confucian king, the two major factions of the crown prince and the fifth prince are evenly matched. The five princes are calm and ambitious by nature. Some people ridiculed the biological mother of the five princes, Concubine Hui, who was from a humble background, but she was reckless. In fact, Concubine Hui was born in the Six Monarchs' Sect. From the time when the monarch had not yet ascended to the throne, he followed his side, all the way from a royal concubine to Jieyu to Zhaoyi and then to Concubine Hui, and the relationship with the monarch was very deep. ”

"Liujun Gate? Is it the only one in Shangyang Palace? ”

Yang Yongnian nodded, "That's right, Shangyang Palace is hidden, but the Six Monarchs Gate is just the opposite, they are looking for birth." The Liujunmen has been inherited for a hundred years and has countless disciples. There are many strange people. Among them, there are many people who are proficient in the art of war, civil and political, and armor techniques, but they are hidden in the court, merchants, and common people, and there are also princes and generals, and there are also field warriors. No one can identify his true identity, and the Shen family has been tracking it for many years, but only a few people have been confirmed. These forces should not be underestimated, when Hui Fei Niangniang was young, she studied under one of the three immortals, and her medical skills are all over the world, these years, the body of the king is Hui Fei Niangniang's conditioning, it is conceivable that the king's trust in Hui Fei Niangniang. ”

"The eighth prince is deeply favored by the king, and his biological mother, Concubine Hua, is even younger and more beautiful. Concubine Hua's father, Liang Youxian, the governor of Caoyun, is in charge of Caoyun in Wudu and holds the economic lifeline of the imperial court, so doesn't he have the heart to fight? ”

Yang Yongnian nodded appreciatively and said: "What you said is good, but the eighth prince is still young, and Concubine Hua is not a smart person. Liang Youxian is a person under Concubine Hui, and it is impossible for him to support the Eighth Prince to compete for the throne. ”

Yang Yan was stunned, "What? Is Liang Youxian a member of the Six Monarchs' Sect? ”

"That's right, Liang Youxian was born in the Liujun Sect and is the senior brother of Concubine Hui...... After Concubine Hui entered the palace, Liang Youxian became an official. In order to contain his body, the king hired his eldest daughter as his concubine, which is Concubine Hua. But, as it stands. Jun Shang and Concubine Hua don't know, so if Concubine Hua does something stupid herself, I think Liang Youxian will not give up first. ”

Yang Yan took a deep breath: "If my Yang family is with the prince, wouldn't I have to be the enemy of such a strong opponent?" What's more, Concubine Yi is now pregnant with a dragon seed in her womb, and he will be born one day, if it is a male fetus, is the Shen family really willing to support the prince? Yang Yan's eyes widened, and his face was sophisticated and calm that did not match his age.

"That's a good question! Yang Yongnian nodded approvingly, "It's not easy for you to have such eyesight at a young age...... Presumably, all these years of training in the army have not been in vain. The mind is superior to others. He sat firmly on the chair of the Purple Sandalwood Flying Bat and said:

"The male members of the Shen family are withering, and only Shen Wenhan can be reused. Even if Concubine Yi is really a prince in her belly, where does she have so much time to raise such a young child? If this is the case, it will inevitably lead to the concubines hanging the curtains, and if one is not good, it will be chaotic. This is something that the king will never allow to happen. If the Shen family wants to seize power, unless the remaining prince of Empress Shen is still alive...... It's a pity ......"

"Empress Shen's death...... Grandfather has been evasive, is there anything that cannot be explained? ”

"I'm afraid that only those of us of the older generation can know a thing or two about these old things. These palace secrets are not to be told to anyone. But now you should know what to expect. Yang Yongnian seemed to fall into memory. Empress Shen was just a woman living in the Shen family back then, and her true identity was not known. At that time, the monarch had just ascended the throne, and when he visited the Shen family, the two met unexpectedly, and Queen Shen naturally entered the palace. At that time, Empress Shen had just reached her death. The king was extremely fond of Empress Shen, but strangely, Empress Shen died later...... But there are rumors that it was the king's order......"

"If it was the monarch who ordered the execution of Empress Shen, then that child? That's the king's own flesh and blood, isn't it ......?"

"The emperor is ruthless, and his own flesh and blood are just one of his children. Moreover, the cause of this is unknown. That child was buried in the fire with Empress Shen......" Yang Yongnian paused slightly and said, "But ...... His Majesty did not seem to believe that the child was dead, and he suspected that Empress Shen had dropped the child before she died...... So all these years I have been secretly tracking down the traces of that child......"

"Tracking? Could it be that the child is really alive? ”

Yang Yongnian shook his head, "Unlikely...... I think it's probably because the king is too suspicious, if that prince is really alive, the Shen family can't be ignorant, and how can they stand behind the eldest prince? ”

Yang Yan was thoughtful, thinking that he would meet the prince and others at Changyuan Bridge today, and he seemed to be very interested in Ah Ci...... Yang Yan frowned, "Grandfather, presumably there will be no changes in my marriage with Ah Ci?" ”

Yang Yongnian smiled and said: "Your kid has been so interested in that girl for so many years, won't you be afraid of guilt in the future?" ”

Yang Yan's face turned red, "Grandfather, my heart for Ah Ci will not change. ”

Yang Yongnian's expression became serious, "Yan'er, the two daughters and one son of the Li family's big house have been destroyed, and the possibility of the Shen family's alliance with them is completely unguaranteed. All this was ruined in the hands of Li Shuci, she hated the Shen family to the core, and she would not give in easily. At that time, if she finds out about the relationship between the Yang family, the Shen family, and the prince, and refuses to marry you obediently, what will you do? ”

Yang Yan's hand trembled slightly, and he tried his best to make a voice and say that he couldn't hurt Li Shuci, but what should the fourth uncle do? What about the Yang family? Can he give up the entire family for his own selfishness? Yang Yongnian patted him on the shoulder: "Yan'er, if that's the case, you don't have to do it yourself, grandfather will kill her for you." ”

Yang Yan raised his head slowly, he finally knew why his grandfather had to let him act in today's play, presumably to win Li Shuci's trust. However, he remembered Li Shuci's bland and unwavering look, and he was afraid that without him to save her, she would still be able to get out easily...... It didn't work at all, but he didn't want to tell the truth to his grandfather, so he forced a smile: "Grandfather, she won't, I will definitely gain her trust, she will be happy to hear that I will stay in Shangjing...... When she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, she will naturally help us. ”

Yang Yongnian said: "It's best to be so, that girl's mental scheming is naturally no harm to our Yang family, and Li Weiqing is really unpredictable, I heard that he loves this daughter the most, if you can hold Li Shuci in the palm of your hand, Li Weiqing will naturally stand with us." At that time, even if the Shen family's arrangements all fail, the Li family will still have to help us. ”

Yang Yan remembered the assassin who was arrested today, and said, "There are masters around her, and her methods are weird, leaving a person." But don't worry, grandfather, he won't say anything. She...... When she marries me, she will be a member of our Yang family, and she won't harm our affairs......"

Yang Yongnian's eyes tightened, and he said, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" ”

Yang Yan was stunned and said, "I will find a way to get rid of that person......
