"The curtain is about to open!"

The lights in the large room were not so bright, and a gust of wind passed through the hall and couldn't help but make the servants who lit the lamps busy again, and the old man with gray sideburns was wearing a scarlet robe, squinting and lying on a rocking chair made of hundred-year-old rattan wood, muttering softly, and the young man on the side felt the coolness and couldn't help but tighten the felt blanket on his body for him.

This empty house has a touching name, Zhongshu Province.

This is the stage that all the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty dream of having a place, and it is the people in this room who support the operation of this huge empire, and the identity of this old man who can rest on the rattan chair with his eyes closed in such a solemn place is about to come out.

The fourth and third dukes, the old ministers of the three dynasties, the ruler of the Chinese book, and the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, known as the two generations of emperors, Yuan Taiqi.

Yuan Taiqi's life is just like his name, Taiqi.

Born in the family of the third prince of the fourth generation of Zhongzhou, he was unruly when he was young, and when a young man of his age embarked on the road of studying hard to become an official, he smiled disdainfully, "Waste Shaohua!" ”

The latter is a scholar and a scholar, determined to travel to Jiuzhou, and in the past ten years, he has traveled to the boundless sea in the north, the Tiantuo Strait in the south, the Hanhai in the east, and the Taihang Mountain in Yunzhou in the west.

In the latter returned to Zhongzhou, indulged in poetry and painting, for a time became famous, known as Zhongzhou literary courage, the painting has been circulated, Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce has bid 100,000 gold to beg, Taiqi just said indifferently, "I disdain also!" For a time, he was in the limelight, and was called "Wan Jinlang" by people at that time.

When people reach middle age, they seem to have suddenly woken up, live in a simple place, and study to cultivate their nature.

Once even in the three yuan, the Son of Heaven in the temple asked, there is no one who does not call it good, the Son of Heaven stroked his palms and laughed, saying "no one in the world is left or right".

Awarded the professor of the Hanlin Academy, the doctor of Xunlu, the Qingjin Sanlang, entered the Zhongshu Province, and had the right to recite the meeting.

People to the ancient years, during the period of three ups and downs, three into the book, three times for the phase, a life and not only the word Taiqi can be exhausted.

"Little Skyfinch, see if it's dark outside."

The old man lying on the rattan chair waved his hand to greet the young man next to him, and said kindly.

The young man with the red-crowned crane embroidered on his sleeve approached the old man, bowed down, and said with a smile, "Grandfather, this is the time of the day!" Just returned to the palace sounded the sound of cloud boards, the outside is still bright, and it is not night! ”

"Idiot, it's clearly dark, you can't see a trace of light anymore!"

The young man was a little confused, and he didn't know what his grandfather would say, but he followed his grandfather's trembling finger pointing to the sky outside the window, and then pondered what his grandfather had just said, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

"Grandfather is saying it's getting dark?"

The young man shuddered, and hurriedly crouched down on the side of the old man's legs, asking in a low voice.

An indescribable smile appeared on the old man's old face, and his thin hand lovingly touched the young man's hands on his lap, and the tone was like thunder and rain above the nine heavens, unpredictable but sacred.

"Silly boy, it's already dark."

"Grandfather ......"

The young man crouching beside the old man changed his face for a moment, and he exclaimed in surprise, but he did not doubt what the old man said.

The old man patted the young man's panicked hand indifferently, and his resting eyes did not open, "The mountain collapses in front of you without changing color, this is the state of mind that people who have achieved great things must have, you are still so frizzy!" ”

The young man's face was a little pale at this time, if it was really what his grandfather said, it was a major event when the sun and the moon overturned, how could there be eggs under the nest, how could he still calm down!

"How did grandfather know?"

The young man glanced at the old man who was resting with his eyes closed, then carefully looked around and no one noticed, and asked softly.

"I just flipped through the paperwork I had accumulated yesterday, and suddenly I flipped through a document and a change of guard order."

"What?"

"Allow the royal city guard to take leave to recuperate from his illness, and then order the 5,000 Tianyu army outside the city to change guards with the rotating Jin Wuwei."

"My grandson still doesn't understand!"

The young man asked anxiously, his mind was already a mush, how could these irrelevant clerical orders make his grandfather make such an astonishing decision.

"Li Yan, the general of the royal city, was the orthodox of the capital because of the cold weather in winter, which led to the recurrence of the old disease, and he wrote a letter to take leave and go home to recuperate.

Isn't this a normal thing, almost everyone who knows Li Yan knows that every winter, the old disease will attack.

Besides, the Tianyu Army and Jin Wuwei are stationed in the palace in turn, and it has been an order that has lasted for many years! ”

The young man took out two documents from the desk, but after careful inspection, he found no clues, and walked quickly to the old man's side with the documents in his hand and asked.

"Look closely, what is the difference between the two documents!"

The old man's unfathomable words echoed in the ears of the young man for a long time.

"What's the difference, different ......"

The young man muttered as he quickly flipped through and compared the two issued documents, and suddenly his eyes tightened.

"The seal, the seal, and the seal of the grandfather's two documents are not the same!"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly held two documents and placed them on the old man's lap.

"One is a seal issued by the Ministry of War, and the other is a phoenix seal.

Why did the Queen Mother sign her own seal on the document of the change of defense of the Tianyu army, although she has the same responsibility as your grandfather to take charge of the government, but why did she want to cross the Ministry of War and Zhongshu Province?

No, according to the old practice, you only need to notify the Ministry of War, and you don't need to sign the documents yourself! ”

"Haha, idiot, which seal is not for us to see!"

"Who is that for!"

The young man stared at his grandfather with a strong eye.

The old man on the rattan chair sat up at some point, his eyes were far away, and his white beard trembled slightly, "That's for the commander of the Tianyu Army!" ”

"Grandfather is saying that the Queen Mother and the Tianyu Army have long been in collusion and have been plotting for a long time? This time it's not just a simple change of guard! ”

Seeing his grandfather's smiling expression, the young man asked urgently, "Then what does Li Yan have to do with this matter when he goes home on leave?" ”

"Who is the boss of the military department now?"

"Wang Ze!"

"Don't you know who is behind Wang Ze?"

The old man's simple words made the young man's pupils shrink sharply and his body trembled.

"Wang Ze went to He Jin's mansion overnight to surrender to Cheng after He Jin'er entered the city, and it is precisely in this way that he can make a decision in the Great Army!"

"You said that there was no He Jinxiao'er behind this matter, do you believe it?"

Young people are still struggling, "Isn't it the norm to just take time off work to recuperate?" And isn't there still a gap between Li Yan and He Jin's party? ”

The old man waved his vermilion long sleeves, his eyes like a deep well were not shocked, and he said sharply, "Zhengdu is all complaining, whether he is complaining about himself or others for him." There is a gap between the orthodox and the discord, so what about the vice-unification?

These two things happened to happen together, do you think it was just a simple coincidence?

Which of the generals under He Jin's command who used to visit the Qinglou and prostitutes can hear a little more in the past few days?

If you can't walk around and see three like you, and only know how to deceive yourself, then it is difficult to say whether my Yuan family can survive this turmoil, and whether there will be descendants to worship in a hundred years! ”

When the young man saw his grandfather angry, he lowered his head and said nothing, his expression was already pale, and after hearing what his grandfather said, the stakes during this period were already clear.

"Tianque, those who do not seek a lifetime are not enough to seek a time, and those who do not seek a domain are not enough to seek a place, think more about everything, you can be a qualified chess player!"

"The grandson is wrong, the grandson knows, grandfather!"

The young man was already very talented, and in just a few breaths, he had already re-sorted out the matter, and he also understood the negligence of his own thoughts just now, and he couldn't help but regret himself, and then heard his grandfather's earnest teachings, and couldn't help but say sincerely.

"I should give you the name Tianque, which means Tianque, and the expectations are deep, you are the heir of my Yuan family, the burden on your back is a thousand catties, and you must not be careless in thinking and acting, otherwise the heads of thousands of people will fall under the stage, and the foundation of hundreds of years will come to naught!"

The old man's originally slightly narrowed eyes had already opened, his expression was solemn, he grabbed the young man's hand, and settled down word by word.

"My grandson will not dare to forget the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he will not live up to his grandfather's trust, and he will make up for the shortcomings!"

The young man knelt beside the old man, his eyes were firm, and he said loudly.

"Okay, worthy of my Yuan family's Lanzhi Yushu!"

The old man smiled and slowly got up with the support of the young man.

"Grandfather, the general and the queen mother have such actions, shouldn't we deal with one or two? The grandson is afraid of increasing the variables! ”

The young man hurriedly put on a big hat for the old man who was standing in front of the window and asked, and asked softly.

"Your grandfather is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, a generation of emperors, protégés and former officials are all over the court and the opposition, and the Yuan family is the head of the family, if he still wants to eat and look good, he will definitely not move me, and he is relieved!"

"I heard that in the past few days, there have been envoys from the North Continent in the royal city, and they have made a huge noise, and everyone knows about it?"

"Yes, a learned Hokuriku Great Witch is an envoy of the Shuofeng Clan, and many forces have already come into contact!"

"I heard that the Shuofeng Department of the Northern Continent has unified the two continents of Hanliang and is about to ascend the throne and establish a khanate?"

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was a little reminiscent, is there another figure like the Tieqin King hundreds of years ago in the distant North Continent?

"Ah, what a world of great contention, heroes are numerous! Are the steppe people coming back again? ”

The old man's fingers clasped lightly, and he sighed with a sigh in his mouth.

"The Iron Cavalry of the Northern Continent is about to set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent again!"

The young man stood quietly behind the old man, listening to the old man's emotion, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"I remember that the envoys of the Hokuriku once boasted that their son was a young hero after a banquet, and he was already chasing the grassland at the age of the weak crown, and he was indeed a young hero!"

"What do you mean?" , the young man asked tentatively.

"Since ancient times, beauties have been matched with heroes, and we have no shortage of beauties in Da Zhou!"

The young man frowned, "But how can an ordinary beauty match the son of a country?" ”

The old man smiled for a long time, "Isn't there a beauty of the right age and status in this majestic palace?" ”

"You mean Princess Wenyue?" The young man tentatively said a name.

"You go to invite the Hokuriku delegation to the banquet later, and mention this matter on the side, if the envoy moves, tomorrow the court will meet, I will write to ask for this matter!"

"Will the Queen Mother agree to this?"

The old man glanced at his grandson and said with a smile, "She must be afraid that she will not be able to ask for it, and besides, she has the right to refuse!" ”

The young man looked puzzled, although the queen mother's power was a little weaker than that of her grandfather, but her status was noble, and her brother helped her, this matter was a matter of the harem, and the queen mother's decision was also justified, how could my grandfather say that.

The old man kindly patted the young man's arm and pointed to the vast pavilion outside the window.

"The water is still too clear, and you can only catch fish if the water is muddy!

They are all anglers, and everyone throws the rod according to their ability, but there are also high and low anglers. ”

The old man said leisurely, but he was still unfinished, turned around tremblingly, and when he was about to go out, he first looked up at the sky, and then laughed out loud.

"The sunset is so beautiful, why fish, why fish, you might as well fish this twilight!"
