The crown prince Yan Tian is far from being as clever as his father, and he can't cry for the time being. As early as when he was outside the hall, he desperately pinched the roots of his thighs. In a moment's urgency, I didn't care about the severity of my hands, until now I had a handful of snot and tears, and knelt in front of my mother sadly, and my tears were like a broken bead chain, and they kept falling on the bright stone slab on the ground.

Yes, the prince was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but self-harm a little too much, and now these tears, every drop is a real heartfelt tear!

Before he broke into the palace, the queen mother Li Lian was half-nestled on a huanghuali chaise couch, enjoying the warmth brought by the collapsed sandalwood stove, while holding a volume of folk books in her hand, reading with relish. The look of enjoyment is like a lazy cat, leisurely spending the slightly cold early spring season.

But when the voice of Yan Day, his own son, came from the main hall into the inner room, Li Lianniang, who was enjoying a comfortable life, couldn't help frowning. She closed the notebook in her hand and stuffed it under the pillow, straightened up her body and straightened her clothes, and said in a cold tone: "Is it daylight outside?" Come on in. ”

It is not difficult to hear from this tone that Queen Li Lian's feelings for this biological son are not as close as ordinary mothers and sons. In fact, until Yan Yan was fourteen years old, he grew up in this Dongkun Palace, and Li Lian also personally selected a master of civil and military affairs for him, coupled with his strict control on weekdays, this will make Xiao Yan Tian famous in Youbeiguang, and even the ministers of civil and military affairs, the imperial historians, when they mention this prince, they are all praised.

But after the age of fourteen, Yan Hunt took this outstanding eldest son with him to teach him personally, and he wanted to make this genius prince the next eternal monarch of the prosperous era of Youbei Sanlu! Yes, this is the master of Youbei Zhongxing, and he intends to do it with his own hands.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has been carefully trained by Yan Hunt, is naturally becoming more and more similar to his father. It's really hard to say about this bloodline thing sometimes. The crown prince has the blood of the Yan and Li families flowing in his body, and while inheriting the Yan family's talent as a broker who is obscure and clumsy, he also inherits the Li family's businessman temperament who is meticulous and calculating. The talents of the two families are integrated into one, and they have been instructed by famous teachers and masters since childhood, and they should be the most outstanding young heroes...... But raising children, after all, is different from farming.

In the next few years, Yan Day, who was already extremely talented when he was a teenager, and Yan Day, who was carefully taught by Yan Hunt, made Li Lianniang feel that her son was getting worse and worse in terms of perception. Not only did he learn Yan Hunt's hypocritical face by mistake, but he also somehow contracted the bad problem of narrow-mindedness; The advantages of the two families are getting weaker and weaker in him, but the disadvantages are particularly obvious; This result naturally disappointed the queen mother, who was strong in her life. Every time she saw Yan Day, she seemed to have seen the most failed work in her life, which made the most protective queen treat her only child so coldly.

Disgust is disgust, disappointment is disappointment, but Yan Tian is still a piece of meat that fell from his body. At this time, Li Lian saw her son kneeling in front of her with a handful of snot and tears, and she was still a little distressed, and there was a trace of calf licking in her eyes:

"What kind of trouble have you come back into? Which casino did you smash? Or did you beat up the little master of which important minister? ”

Yes, when Yan Tian goes out of the palace on weekdays, his favorite place to go is the casino. With his identity, losing 10,000 taels of silver at a time is not a big deal. is to pity his father Xuande Emperor Yan Hunt, because of various reasons, from the accession to the throne to the present, every meal is only "only" four small dishes.

However, his mother's maiden family is also the richest family in Youbei. Those bright and dark casinos and meat and vegetarian treasure bureaus in Fengjing City are not afraid of not being able to collect silver at all. Whenever this young master speaks, no matter how much money people dare to release. At the most, the prince only had one game of pai gow, and he fully exported 80,000 taels of silver.

Of course, in the end, under Yan Day's tearful offensive, this silver was filled in for him by his maternal uncle Li Deng. At this time, Li Lian saw that his son's routine today was very familiar, and thought that he lost the silver again and couldn't plug the hole, so he came back to ask his mother for money.

At this time, Yan Tian, who was already weak-hearted, cried even more

"No...... Queen mother...... My son ...... a few days ago."

Under Yan Tian's intermittent wolf crying and howling, Queen Li Lian finally gave a general idea of what happened. Of course, she really didn't want to understand.

That is to say...... It was all because you instructed Zhang Huangling to send troops to Zhongshan Road to intercept and kill the Beiyan caravan, which led to this border disaster? ”

Yan Tian finally stopped his tears, secretly observed Li Lian's expression, and nodded slightly with a weak heart.

It doesn't have to be that way...... But it should be roughly ......"

Li Lian nodded, lost in thought. After a long time, she looked at her son seriously, and asked him word by word in an extremely calm and stern tone:

"Who else knows about this but yourself?"

"I instructed Zhang Huangling to borrow troops, and my father and uncle must already know about it at this time. But at present, it seems that no one has been able to link this matter with the border war, but it will not be hidden for long. After all, although Zhang Huangling's soldiers had died cleanly, the Beiyou caravan went back unharmed...... Besides, who killed more than 100 Flying Tiger Army, we haven't found out yet......"

"Smack!"

Li Lian slapped the prince in the face, and directly slapped Yan Tian's teary-eyed appearance back. Yan Tian, who was stunned, looked at his queen mother blankly, trembling her lips and didn't say anything for a while.

"You have disappointed the Queen Mother so much! Impulsive, thoughtful, and unskilled, the ability to adapt has not improved, and even the eye for seeing people is getting worse and worse! The deeds were revealed and no timely remedial measures were taken, and now it is too late to kill Zhang Huangling's mouth...... Prince, Prince, do you think that the current situation is safe and sound because your father and uncle did not expect you to be at this level? According to Weiniang, the reason why they didn't mention this matter was because they wanted to protect you! ”

Yan Tian's face turned pale from the surprise of the queen's words, and the trace of luck he still had in his heart flew away in an instant. This time, he was really shivering, like a puddle of mud "soft" on the cold and biting ground. Although the stove next to him is warming, and although the weather has begun to warm up in early spring, Yan Tian at this time is still like being in an ice cave on the river.

"You can leave the palace now and wait at your uncle's house. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Weiniang will also go to the Winter Warm Pavilion to find your father in person. In the final analysis, the matter of my secluded north is only the matter of those two bits. No matter how it ends in the end, it all depends on what these two people have in mind! ”

As soon as Li Lian's words fell, as if he remembered something, he immediately added:

"It is said that the envoys of Beiyan and Mobei are already halfway through the road at this time, and they will be able to enter the territory of my Youbei in a daytime. Day'er, you remember, this matter must reach a tacit agreement with your father and uncle before the envoy enters Fengjing! If this opportunity is missed, the consequences can be unimaginable. You must know that you are not the only son of your father! ”

As soon as Yan Tian heard this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and there was a little disdain in his tone:

"Yan Qinghong is just a foreign concubine, and he is prodigal and disrespectful of etiquette and law on weekdays, whether it is the court, civil and military affairs or ordinary people, his impression of him is extremely unbearable. I don't understand, what kind of threat does such waste pose to me? ”

After hearing his words, the queen mother stared at this biological son who had been raised since she was a child in great surprise. She really didn't understand why that originally smart and clever prodigy became what he is today? Today's Yan Tian is so narrow-minded, and his vision is so short-sighted and shallow; What's even more terrifying is that Yan Tian's current way of thinking and the height of thinking about problems are absolutely inferior to himself when he was young.

Li Lianniang sighed, this sigh was long and soft, and she listened to the personal maid next to her. I don't know if I was too disappointed in this son, or I didn't have the strength to fight with him again, after sighing, I directly said the reason why I wanted him to guard against Yan Qinghong:

"Today's border disaster seems to have started from Beiyan, and Mobei is just happening at the right time; But Wei Niang told you that in fact, the protagonists of this drama have always been those Mobei grassland people. As long as they don't agree to send troops, then the East China Sea Xiongguan of Beiyan is a chasm that they will never be able to cross. ”

"But what does this have to do with the second brother?"

As if he had discovered Yan Tian, who was displeased with his mother, he finally changed the name of his second brother Yan Qinghong.

Li Qing stared at the prince straight again for a long time, and then sighed:

"Qinghong's mother, Bao Shi, was originally the princess of Mobei sent by the grassland people. Therefore, in this incident, your second brother Yan Qinghong is the most important key to solve the trouble of the northern border! ”
