In the seventh year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, the emperor collapsed.

After the death of Emperor Jinde, the new emperor should succeed to the throne, but who knows that there is chaos on the issue of the ownership of the throne.

Emperor Jinde made a posthumous call early in the morning, and established Zhao Rui, the fourth son of the emperor, as the new emperor. But the queen stood up and said that Emperor Jinde had left an edict before her death, asking her to assist the third son of the emperor, Zhao Heng, as the emperor.

None of these ministers were instructed to give such an edict, which shows that the queen is only one-sided. However, these things somehow spread to the people, and the three of them became tigers, and the rumors that these three princes should be emperors became more and more intense.

At this time, Zhao Rui succeeded to the throne, and the rumors were not settled, for fear that it would be unfavorable in the future, so the succession was delayed, but the affairs of the court were handed over to Zhao Rui to decide. This Zhao Rui's succession to the throne is imperative, and if the queen wants to change her life against the sky, I am afraid that she is also a mantis arm.

In recent days, Su Xuan had a lot of affairs to deal with, and he had to meet many people, so he moved to the big study to discuss matters. Ye Jinqing has also lived in Su Mansion in the past few days, but she still knows about the death of Emperor Jinde. There must be a reason why the new monarch has not succeeded to the throne for a long time.

Senior brother, Ye Jinqing couldn't help but think of Zhao Rui. Thinking of this, Ye Jinqing quietly walked out of the courtyard where he had been living for the past few days.

"Suan." Ye Jinqing, who was dressed in plain clothes, was stopped from behind.

Ye Jinqing looked around suspiciously, and there was no one else.

"You're calling me?"

looked at a young man about sixteen years old who was slowly approaching, because during the state funeral, the young man was also dressed in plain white.

"Su An, this is the name given to you by the master." The young man explained, "The master has instructed that if you go out of the courtyard, he will take you to the big study. ”

Ye Jinqing followed the young man named Su Zhe to the big study, and it happened that a courtier walked up from it, and when he saw these two teenagers, he seemed to think of something, and snorted in disgust before raising his feet and leaving.

Ye Jinqing lowered her head and was silent, but her face burned, and she was uncomfortable. It wasn't until the courtier walked away that Su Zhi nudged her that she staggered into the big study.

"Help me sharpen my ink."

As soon as he entered the big study, he listened to Su Xuan's instructions. Su Zhe didn't know when he had retreated, and Ye Jinqing had no choice but to move forward with small steps. Picking up the ink strip, Ye Jinqing began to sharpen the ink with some unwillingness, during which Su Xuan did not stop.

After grinding for a while, Ye Jinqing's wrist was already sore and weak, and he remembered that now he was not only sending people under the fence, but also being instructed to do things, and his nose was sore. With a click, a tear fell right on the ground ink, and a few small grains of ink splashed out and smudged on the paper written by Su Xuan.

Sighing silently, Su Xuan put down the pen in his hand, "Do you know why I called you here and why did I let you sharpen the ink?" ”

Ye Jinqing lost her temper, lowered her head, and did not say anything.

"Ye Qingyuan taught you too well, but you are too good, your gestures are actually full of flaws. If you just want to stay in that compound, you can learn nothing, but if you want to be in and out as freely as before, there are some things you have to learn. ”

Ye Jinqing blinked, blinked back the remaining tears, and looked up at Su Xuan. Today's Su Xuan is no longer dressed in Xuan clothes, and he is a little different from before after changing his plain color. He looks even more unpredictable in Xuanyi, and he has a bit of a childish taste like jade.

"Am I going to learn what these squires are supposed to do?" Ye Jinqing asked a little stiffly.

Su Xuan looked at this stubborn little face, stretched out his hand, and nodded his smooth forehead, "It's not learning, it's pretending." After saying this, he buried his head in his own eyes and looked at the official document.

Ye Jinqing was grinding the ink while stealing a glance at the official document. For a moment, the study was quiet only for the sound of grinding ink and the rustle of pen and paper. After thinking about it again and again, Ye Jinqing licked his mouth and said, "Senior brother, is it because of those rumors that he has not succeeded to the throne?" Su Xuan didn't blame her for peeking at the official document privately, "No, the queen hid too deeply, I don't know who her people are, this time she suddenly attacked, just to take advantage of this to dig out those people she buried." ”

"And what should you do?"

Su Xuan didn't reply and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

Ye Jinqing's eyes rolled and said: "Govern good with good, fight evil with evil, and stifle rumors with rumors." ”

Hearing this, Su Xuan pondered, although Ye Jinqing's remarks were concise and clear, they also had merit. Those of them who have been immersed in the DPRK for a long time often complicate things. In fact, the things in the world are simple and clear, but the complicated ones are just the human heart, so thinking about it like this, I called Su Zhen and told him something.

The next day, the rumors in the market were even better, but this time they were all talking about the purple qi that appeared in Haoran Palace at dawn. This time, Zhao Rui made such a big movement here, and the queen's side unexpectedly hibernated.

On this day, Concubine Su Guifei summoned Su Xuan and Su Xingjian into the palace. These days have not been seen, Su Guifei is more clear than before, and the plain palace clothes look empty on her body.

"Niangniang, that Qin Muweichen has already sent someone to guard it, and General Wang Qi has also sent someone to summon him, ordering him to abandon Bishan and join General Wang Yong. The Anping palace sent a silver wolf, and its momentum has been reversed, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, he can wave his army. The three princes had traveled in the south of the Yangtze River, and had set off to rush back when the first emperor was critically ill, and they would be able to reach Jinyang in a few days. The queen was also staring. ”

Su Guifei pressed her eyebrows with her hand, looked at Su Xuan, who didn't speak, and said, "What did Brother say?" ”

Su Xuan looked directly at the lady Su and said, "The queen is slightly inappropriate, and finding a reason to put her under house arrest is the best solution." ”

As soon as Su Xuanfang finished speaking, Su Xingjian hurriedly spoke: "Niangniang think twice, it is the best policy to act safely at this time, and the new monarch cannot be labeled as a disrespectful mother before he succeeds to the throne." Su Guifei thought about it for a while, and finally agreed with Su Xingjian's words.

Ye Qingyuan and Qin Lie, the king of Anping, sat in a simple pavilion on the mountainside, with two wine glasses and a pot of wine simply placed on the table. Qin Lie personally took the wine jug and filled the wine cup of the two with wine.

Outside the pavilion, two armies stood each. An army is covered with silver armor, and even the war horses under it are covered with silver armor, and if you look closely, you can see a lifelike wolf head engraved on one part of the armor. This army just stood there, and there was a strong murderous aura overflowing, obviously battle-hardened.

The other army looked a little ordinary, the black armor was not noticeable, and a large army stood there, but they didn't feel their presence at all.

But if you look closely at the silver wolves standing in front of this group of black armor, there is less of the indomitable momentum of the past, and more of a deep fear.

They can't forget that the group of seemingly inconspicuous people in front of them directly made Wang Yong proud of them just three days ago, and made them helpless in their defenses, and forcibly tore a hole.

"Is Master Ye planning to leave for Bishan immediately?" Qin Lie asked after taking a sip.

"Well, I'll leave tonight, there are still guests waiting in Bishan." Ye Qingyuan said and filled Qin Lie's already empty wine cup again. "Then Qin won't keep Master Ye, please." Qin Lie raised the wine cup, and Ye Qingyuan also raised the wine cup, and then the two of them raised their heads and drank the wine.

Qin Lie looked at the cyan figure that was surrounded by black armor and slowly disappeared into the night.

I remembered the letter that Qin Mu sent back, and the letter mentioned plum blossoms, when the plum trees bloomed, there were no leaves. It was he who was able to get the first opportunity and get on the line with Ye Qingyuan.

Looking at the army in Ye Qingyuan's hands today, even without the help of his silver wolf, his Ye Qingyuan's plan would not be chaotic. But Ye Qingyuan still accepted his kindness, indicating that the Zhao family of the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Ye family had no room for maneuver. Being able to befriend such a person who has no intention of being on the throne, but has a strange soldier, is an opportunity for the Anping Palace.
