After Yan Tian heard the queen's words, his mind suddenly became a mess. In his heart, it was already a sure thing to sit on that dragon chair. Sooner or later, it only depends on how much of his father's longevity remains. Because of this, His Royal Highness the smart Prince of Youbei has never been in a hurry. The reason why he is so calm, in addition to the incomparably harmonious "parent-child relationship" between himself and Yan Hunt, the most important point is that his opponent is too weak!

Yes, Yan Qinghong, the "opponent", is weak, and he doesn't know if he deserves to be called an opponent. When he was young, he studied hard late at night with his mother and the emperors, and practiced martial arts early in the morning, which has never stopped for more than ten years; And his second brother is simply the most troublesome trouble in the palace: he burned the imperial dining room, tore up the royal classics of the Winter Warm Pavilion, and broke his arm when he secretly rode a horse, and it is said that he often misbehaved with some beautiful palace maids;

As he grew older, he became even more out of the ordinary. I sneak out of the palace every day, and I often can't find anyone. One year, he played with his temperament, and he didn't even have time to attend his father's birthday feast; And he is also "widely famous" in the market: whether it is a prostitute who sells laughter and meat, or a lowly hawker, he is "full of praise when he is mentioned". How could such a person who was so difficult to wait for the hall of elegance become a threat to himself? It can be said that if Yan Qinghong did not bear the name of a second prince, the final outcome would have been very miserable: he was not arrested and put in prison by Yin Wei Anheng of Fengjing Mansion; is to be eaten, drunk, prostituted and gambled to exhaust the family wealth, and fall to the North Market to be a worthless rabbit master......

Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherited the appearance of his father Yan Hunt, and he can only barely be regarded as an ordinary person. So in his heart, he has always been a little jealous of the personable "second brother".

Of course, if you look at it from Yan Hunt's point of view, his youngest son is simply a standard template for a gentleman. If you throw him into the pile of fat powder, he can really be called invincible in the world; If he is allowed to fiddle with gadgets that are not on the table, he can also be called a top master; But if anyone expects this young master to do something serious, it is really blind to his dog's eyes;

And his eldest son, who has been obedient and sensible since he was a child, is proficient in both civil and military affairs, and after years of careful training by himself, he is simply a perfect heir. Such a prince will not only be able to govern the country well in the future, but also be able to implement his unfulfilled will 100%, which is simply the best gift from God to Youbei. Although it is said that his eldest son is a bit good at gambling on weekdays, but any heroic figure who is the king and hegemon, which one is not good at gambling? And what decision isn't a gamble? In this way, it is not so much that good gambling is a shortcoming, but that it is an imperial talent!

In this way, the two princes were treated differently by their fathers. One is to let it grow wildly, and the other is to carefully cultivate it. From this point of view, as long as Yan Tian patiently looks forward to his father's return to heaven, it will not be too easy to sit in that position.

However, according to what the queen just said, Yan Qinghong, after so many years of neglect and ignorance, is finally going to take the stage and sing the protagonist in person. Moreover, this stage was set up for him by himself.

Yan Tian sat on the carriage, and while instructing the handlebar to go to the direction of Li Mansion in the west of the city, he was extremely worried and blamed himself in his heart. It's not that he is afraid that his father will depose the crown prince, but in his plan, his second brother had better stay like this mud and can't support the wall. The more his father ignores him, the more attention he will naturally pay to himself; But now, if he really shows his face once this time, then maybe there will be some trouble in the future.

After Yan Tian sat down in the main hall of the Li Mansion, he finally made an extremely important decision: no matter how this incident ended, whether it was for Beiyan and Mobei, whether it was land compensation or tax-free trade, he could not let his second brother have the slightest chance to show up.

Yes, in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, no degree of concession is more important than the stability of the future throne. From this idea, it can be seen that the current prince has been thinking about the affairs of the family and the country from the perspective of the emperor.

Li Deng, who had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion after dispersal, and his faithful disciple Wan Changning, each holding a thick stack of account books in their arms, spoke in a low voice with a heavy face, and walked towards the study. Just as they passed by the main hall, the two were stopped halfway by the housekeeper Li Fu:

"Master, the prince has been sitting in the main hall for a full hour, you better go and see the driver first. I'll help Master Wan and send these things to the study. ”

Li Fu said without waiting for his master's reaction, he first held the thick account book, and at the same time gave Wan Changning a color, and the two walked away quietly and quickly.

Li Deng looked at the door of his main hall and hesitated, all because in recent years, deep down in his heart, he was also very dissatisfied with this nephew. But even if it's a family, there's a difference between dignity and inferiority after all. The prince of Youbei in front of him who broke into a catastrophe is no longer the original nephew. Because of his affection and disregard for his status, Guo Yunsong has already given him a vivid demonstration.

Li Deng finally sighed and walked into the main hall with rather heavy steps. The prince, who had his eyes empty and didn't know what he was thinking, saw his maternal uncle returning to the house at this time, hurriedly bounced up from the chair, walked forward quickly, and put his hands on his uncle's left arm extremely hard:

"Uncle, you're finally back! The nephew went to find the queen mother, and the queen mother said that now only you can protect your nephew through the difficulties, uncle......"

Yan Day's "Corporal Lixian" style comes entirely from the words and deeds of his father Yan Hunt. Whether it is the fast or slow pace, the slow tone, or even the look and figure, Yan Tian has learned eight or nine times out of ten. Li Deng and Yan Hunt have been dealing with each other for half their lives, how can they not see it?

If Yan Tian had told him bluntly as soon as he saw him today, even if he was throwing and rolling, he would have made Li Deng feel a little sincere in caring for his family and seeking advice: after all, under the helplessness, no matter what the reaction is, it is reasonable; If you really think of family affection and come to your mother-in-law for help, you should also be a junior, or coquettish or begging for mercy, instead of subconsciously using such a clumsy "Yan's acting skills" to show yourself a disgusting from the inside out.

Disgusting is disgusting, hypocrisy is hypocrisy, and Li Deng has been familiar with things on the surface since he was a child.

"Oh? The queen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do you want the old man to serve? Although there are some transgressions, the old minister still has to say ugly things in front. Recently, the border of the three roads in Youbei has been tight, and the old man naturally has a lot of urgent business to deal with. If you don't have time to take care of it for a while, please ask the queen and the prince to forgive one or two. ”

The prince didn't care about the deliberate detachment in Li Deng's tone, and held the attitude of "you cold your ass, I stick to my hot face", and said with sorrow and sincerity:

"Presumably my nephew didn't say it himself, but my uncle also knew very well in his heart that what was the reason for Beiyan and Mobei this time, they would suddenly attack me on the three roads of Youbei. Since this matter started because of me, then I must be inextricably involved. However, the nephew was still at a loss as to how to solve this matter. I came here today because I wanted to rely on my uncle's old spicy experience to give my nephew some advice! ”

Li Deng believes that since the prince's "open-door face" is full of hypocrisy, then the current attitude of humbly seeking advice is naturally not going anywhere. However, after all, this is a matter of my sister and nephew, and we are still a family after all. Just like the few gambling debts that I helped him pay off before, I still inevitably have to help him.

Li Deng secretly pursed his lips, changed into a relaxed posture, and said as if chatting about family life:

"You're not young anymore, and you should have a beginning and an end, a beginning and an end when you start doing things, you can't poke the basket every time, and you have to ask us to clean it up for you! To put it mildly, how long can your mother and I take care of you? If you want to inherit the great unification in the future, you must learn to be self-reliant! Okay, I won't go any further, this matter seems to be menacing, but in fact it is not difficult to solve, it is nothing more than to pay a little price and give away some benefits. As long as you can learn the lessons, it's always worth it in the long run. ”

Li Deng, who was full of official business, did not have the heart to go around in circles with this nephew, so he took responsibility for it in a few words, and then picked up the tea bowl on the table. Yan Tian knew that this meant to serve tea to the guests.

He walked to the door of the main hall in a trance, and was about to take a step when he suddenly turned around, his face was a little hesitant, but after all, he looked around, and added:

"Uncle, you can solve this incident perfectly, I have no doubt about this nephew. But my queen mother hopes that you can curb the possible positive impact of the second child in this incident......"

One sentence stunned Li Deng on the spot, and it was not until the satisfied Yan Tian walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion that the sound of porcelain cracking came from the main hall.
