Soon after Lin Ling and the others returned to the valley, Li Qingluo and Wang Runsheng returned to Gusu with Ye Jing and others, and soon came to the valley. Qiao Feng was also dragged to the valley by everyone, Qiao Feng had always known that Qimian Mountain Valley was such a unique sect in the past, but he had never had the opportunity to see it, this time he came in and found that the environment of the valley was really very beautiful, and he felt that practicing martial arts here would get twice the result with half the effort.

Lin Hongyang and the others did not watch what the apprentices and others did for a while, but after the apprentices came back, they asked them to make a report, each narrating what happened from their own perspective, and then summarizing what they did well and what they didn't consider.

Lin Ling Heiyao and they called Zhu Yan to discuss things, Zhu Yan was apprenticed to Lin Hongyang, Lin Ling and they did not directly accept him as an apprentice, and the disciples and grandsons also taught him.

"Come and sit!" The boy is only a little over thirteen years old, and his face is still full of baby fat, and he is especially cute with a face at this time.

Zhu Yan is not surprised, because of his identity, the ancestor always opens a small stove for him, and the senior brothers and sisters don't mind, but he himself is still quite embarrassed.

"Master, what do you have to tell me to come?"

In order to look solemn in front of her apprentices and grandchildren over the years, Lin Ling has put away her naughty side many times, and she also said with a stern expression: "The master wants to discuss very important things with you, which is related to your future life, and you need to make up your own mind." ”

Zhu Yan's expression became more and more stern, "Master, please speak!" ”

Hei Yao and Si Luo opened their eyes, a little unbearable to look at directly, this little guy was deceived by Lin Ling's expression every time.

"You know from the Prime Minister, right?"

"You know, I know from you that I will be in the valley is the work of the prime minister."

Lin Ling raised his eyebrows: "Not long ago, I wrote a letter to the prime minister, saying that I want his young granddaughter to also apprentice in the valley, what do you think Prime Minister Xiang is planning?" ”

Zhu Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, he was not stupid, nor was he arrogant, he quickly thought of it.

"Because of me?" Zhu Yan was very confused, what was he planning for the prime minister? Although Zhao Jun is now a little derelict as the emperor, he has not done anything to do anything wrong, can Prime Minister Xiang still figure out how to control him to control the court?

"That's right, you're smart. Prime minister, there are more than seven tricks in the heart, and the eight tricks and nine tricks are unknown. ”

Zhu Yan immediately stood up straight and said, "Master, I don't want to be a puppet of the Xiang family, and I don't want to have anything to do with the Xiang family. ”

Lin Ling raised his eyebrows: "Then what can you do to avoid his calculations?" You must know that you will eventually return to Bianjing, and you will marry a wife after all, and your wife will not be a girl from the Xiang family but also the daughter of other court officials. ”

The young man was still very innocent, and when he suddenly thought about marrying a wife, he blushed.

Lin Ling coughed and silently prompted: "The first strike is stronger!" ”

Zhu Yan restrained his shyness, and after a while, his eyes lit up, "I understand, since I can't avoid it in the future, then I can find a girl I like first." The tone was very annoyed, "But I don't know the officials of the imperial court, and I don't know which official is more honest and reliable?" ”

Lin Ling grinned secretly, and then said: "It's better for the ancestor to give you a year, this year I will let your senior brothers and sisters go to Bianjing with you to help you choose a more honest and reliable official." The chosen girl is between the ages of ten and thirteen, and can only be a concubine, and after all aspects have been considered, the master will send someone to take the girl to the valley to grow up with you, and you will have a few years to cultivate a good relationship with her. ”

Zhu Yan smiled and nodded again and again: "Thank you, Ancestor!" Growing up in the valley, Zhu Yan is actually very grateful to the Prime Minister Xiang, no matter what he is planning, in short, he helped him get out of the palace and grow up easily outside for more than ten years, this is a very happy time for him.

"Another point, your mother, Concubine Zhu, she is very kind and simple, and she has always been under the control of the Xiang family, so this time the master will give you another task, you have to isolate your mother from the Xiang family."

Zhu Yanyan nodded, no matter what, he wouldn't care about his mother Zhu.

Lin Ling and Lin Hongyang's apprentices discussed this matter, and before they could issue this task to Ye Jing and them, someone outside the valley sent a message in, and the post read: King Zhenning.

Who is King Zhenning? I don't know!

"I remember, isn't that the old prince who rescued Zhao Jun before? What is he here for? "Lin Hongyang is now the valley lord of the valley, and he should handle the matter, but when it comes to Zhu Yan's affairs, he knows what the masters have planned, and he will not make decisions on his own.

"Since people are a lot older, they come to the door in person, and the person who comes is a guest, and I will talk about it when I see someone." I don't know what the old prince is doing, is it to apologize for Zhao Jun, or is he looking for trouble?

The old prince came to the door around the next day, and he was followed by two strong men, who couldn't tell that they were dignified princes, but they were no different from ordinary old men.

greeted each other, the old prince was very simple, he came for Zhu Yan.

"What are you here for? The sixth prince will return to Bianjing sooner or later, at the latest at the age of twenty or fifteen or sixteen at the earliest. Lin Hongyang said a little strangely.

This meeting was naturally Lin Hongyang coming forward to talk to the old prince, Lin Ling and the others would not show up, but they paid attention to the content of the conversation.

The old prince narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord Lin Gu, let me tell you the truth, I want to know what deal this person Xiang Mo has with you, and what is he sending Xiao Liu here for?" ”

Lin Hongyang raised his eyebrows and said, "Old prince, aren't you asking knowingly?" What else can a courtier do in charge of a prince? I heard that the Empress Dowager Xiang has been suppressed by the Song family in the harem, and in the past year, the emperor accepted the Xiang family as a concubine, which led the emperor to trust the prime minister Xiang, but the prime minister Xiang still can't compare to the weight of other concubines. ”

The old prince's face was dark, Ma Dan, Zhao Jun's bastard boy chose trusted officials based on the harem woman, it was a bastard!

"Xiang Mo doesn't have the ability to change the world, but I know that he sent his young granddaughter to Gusu, could it be that he is preparing to marry Xiaoliu?" The old prince's face became more and more pale, how could the dignified son be controlled by an official?

Lin Hongyang didn't want to reveal anything, but at this time, he suddenly received the transmission of the masters, and used the action of drinking tea to cover up that he was listening carefully to the instructions of the masters.

After a while, Lin Hongyang said: "Old prince, don't underestimate the prime minister, he still has some ability to analyze a person, for example, he thinks that the current emperor is not worthy of being the emperor, it is not impossible." ”

The old prince's eyes were as big as a cow's eyes, "What do you mean?" If the Lord of Ringu has something to say, you might as well say it directly! ”

"Old prince, you have also seen the current emperor Zhao Jun, do you think he can continue to be the emperor with such ability? If you are blinded, you will always wake up in the end. Lin Hongyang said lightly, I don't know what the master means when he said that Zhao Jun's current deceptive charm is slowly disappearing, but for Zhao Jun, it will be a disaster, if he doesn't quickly correct his mentality and work hard to learn to be an emperor, then what the result will be in the end can be imagined.

"To put it bluntly, Xiang Prime Minister is investing in the next emperor, and he is naturally half kind and half bad when he sends the six princes out. Good intentions can ensure that the six princes grow up safely, and bad intentions are that the six princes who grew up in the reckless rivers and lakes can't control the court even if they become emperors, and in the end the six princes can only rely on the support of important ministers, and then it is time to give orders to the prime minister. ”

The old prince was so angry that his beard was cocked, and he cursed in a low voice: "Okay, you bastard to the end, Lao Tzu will not let you succeed in your calculations." ”

Lin Hongyang shook his head funny, there are not many members of the Zhao clan, the Great Song Dynasty believes in governing the country with benevolence and righteousness, that is, the status of civil officials is higher than that of military generals, and the court from the emperor to the officials are all weak scholars, and over time, many people's bodies have really become weak, and the Zhao family, whether it is the emperor or the prince of the clan, does not live for long, this old prince is an accident.

"Okay, old prince, if you really want to save your Zhao family, then in the next year, please help Zhu Yan and them in Bianjing, I let Zhu Yan go to Beijing to choose the daughter of an official's family as his future wife, I originally asked their senior brothers and sisters to go to Bianjing to grope for him, and it can be regarded as training him, and now I will not change my original intention." You don't directly intervene to help them, you can help teach them indirectly, after all, you are more familiar with the important ministers of the court in Bianjing than them. ”

The peak turned around, and the old prince stared at a pair of eyes in disbelief.

"Lord Ringu, what you said is true? Didn't lie to this king? ”

Lin Hong raised his eyebrows: "Naturally, since Zhu Yan is a disciple of this sect, this sect will naturally consider him, and he will not let him fall into the position of a puppet, no matter what he does in the future, it should be Zhu Yan's own business." His identity is that he will definitely return to the imperial court, so his wife candidate cannot be a Jianghu girl, but he grew up in Jianghu, if the real boudoir woman and him have no common language, so we let him choose the candidate in advance, and then spend a few years growing together, which is good for both of them. ”

"I don't know where you got such stereotypes in the court? A man must have three wives and four concubines? Old prince, ask yourself, the wife works hard for her husband to run the family business, and the husband's family she maintains belongs to her children, and she will treat her husband wholeheartedly? Disciples who come out of this sect are not allowed to take concubines. ”

"Don't talk about spreading the branches, it's a lie at all, a drop of essence and ten drops of blood, men also have to maintain their health, most of the heirs are dying in the backhouse battle, I hope you don't force Zhu Yan to do this kind of thing in the future, this is what stallions do in order to match cubs."

The old prince frowned, speechless, but he is old, and he looks at women relatively lightly, so let's not talk about this issue for the time being, and I will talk about it later. The old prince got such a heavy situation, and he left the valley and did not tour outside, and immediately returned to Bianjing.

This Fang Lin Ling and they have already instructed Ye Jing and the others to tell them about this matter, let them go to Beijing to help Zhu Yan choose a daughter-in-law, Ye Jing and they only then know that Zhu Yan still has this identity, but there are some people who know Zhu Yan's name, such as Prime Minister Xiang, so Zhu Yan needs to use a pseudonym again.

Dao Guanle was full of interest, Lin Ling gave him a positive answer, let him toss hard in Bianjing, don't be afraid of him because of the identity of Emperor Zhao Jun, as long as it doesn't kill people, it doesn't matter how Dao Guanle fights with Zhao Jun.

This time, not only did their original team enter Beijing, but also two thirteen-year-old teenagers also followed the experience, which could be regarded as a diversion to the prime minister's attention on Zhu Yan.
