Chapter II. 86. Bao's crisis
Yan Qinghong was still a little unconcerned when he heard this, and even Tie Lian'er, who was joining in the fun, just pouted. On the contrary, Song Xingzhou, who was feeding He Wendao rice cereal, immediately stopped what he was doing:
"Let's talk, I'll go out first. These things you are talking about are too big, and it is easy for me as a cook to invite trouble. ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up half of his body, he was pressed back by Shen Gui's big hand:
"You do your thing, no problem. Everyone who can stand in this room can be trusted, including this waste man. With that, he pointed to He Wendao, who was half-lying and half-lying, swallowing in a daze. He Wendao, who was mentioned by Shen Gui, didn't even raise his eyes, but just smoothed his throat with his hand.
Yan Qinghong looked at Song Xingzhou, who was trusted by Shen Gui, a little strangely, but he was only slightly stunned, and then pulled the topic back to the original point:
"According to what you just said, the most dangerous person right now is not me? Then I would like to hear what kind of opinion you have, and why do you dare to make such a judgment. ”
After speaking, Yan Qinghong looked around, but finally didn't find an empty stool, so he had to hold his shoulders and lean on the door frame.
Shen Gui rolled his eyes and said in an extremely impatient tone:
"Didn't you just say it all very clearly? The Northern Yan army seems to be menacing, but who knows the difficulties of whose family. Do you think it's so easy for this army to move? Whether it is soldiers' salaries, food and grass, ordnance supplies, camp consumption, etc., it is an astronomical amount. No matter how abundant the treasury of Beiyan is at this time, it will be a thankless task to go north in this spring ploughing season. So in my judgment, this time the Northern Yan people are still feints. If you think about it carefully, although he Beiyan has inherited the mantle of the previous dynasty Dayan, he has also inherited the fatigue and evil diseases of the former Yan. Just talking about redundant officials and heavy taxes and deep-rooted gate lord clans, plus various chaebol merchant groups, as long as any one starts to come out, it is enough to drag the entire Beiyan court into the quagmire of endless infighting. Those Northern Yan people with strong backgrounds, if they really pull the skin for the war in front of them, it is different from Youbei, and no one can know where it is. So now the biggest headache is not our Majesty Xuande, but his Emperor Tianyou of Beiyan! ”
When Yan Qinghong heard the second half, his mind was a little confused, and he didn't have time to keep up with Shen Gui's train of thought for a while, and continued to ask persistently:
"I don't care what happens to their Beiyan and grassland, and I can't care either! I just want to know why my mother was caught up in the crisis. ”
Shen Gui squinted his mouth and glanced at him, but he said to Tie Li'er:
"I said, Sister Li'er, what do you like about him? Short-sightedness is like a blind eye, otherwise you should go and learn fortune-telling from Liu Banxian, right? I'll give you another name, just call it the second blind man, what do you think? ”
In the first half of his sentence, Tie Lian'er, who was born as a woman in a green building, was also ashamed and blushed. Of course, on the one hand, it is because of Shen Gui's Noye, and on the other hand, because of Yan Qinghong's pig brain.
Shen Gui stretched out a hand, dipped it in water, and analyzed it in detail for Yan Qinghong on the table:
"Now that many years of rare cold winter have passed, it is said that the people of Dongyou Road are not having a good time, let alone the Mobei grassland, which lives on nomadism. In my opinion, the reason why they were pushed down by the Northern Yan people at this time to take the lead was that they had no way to live......
Shen Gui's words are still very accurate at this point. Although he still didn't know the peerless plan of the prince Yan Day's eight-sided leakage, based on the current situation of the three families, he could still deduce a little bit of an approximation.
"The Northern Yan people want to take it step by step, gradually divide and encroach on the entire Youbei Third Road, and then completely unify all the territories north of the Huahe River on Huayu Road. This is their consistent way of thinking about the outside world, and it has never changed; The Mobei people are different, they don't have so much ambition, and they don't have that much ambition. In my opinion, they are fighting for the livelihood of the entire grassland, this is a battle of trapped beasts, like a gambler who has staked all his fortune, waiting for a turn or death. Since this is the case, it will not be difficult to divide their alliance, as long as I only face the Beiyan family, then the East Customs, the head of the world's heroes, will become a stone mill erected by Beiyan himself, crushing and squeezing the flesh and blood of all the Beiyan soldiers. ”
When Yan Qinghong heard this, he thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion:
"You mean that if you succeed in dividing the two alliances, then the situation in front of you will be self-defeating? But what do these major events in the world have to do with the safety of my mother? ”
Shen Gui laughed angrily when he heard this, stepped forward and touched Yan Qinghong's head, and then touched his own backhand: "Don't burn it......" and then said to Tie Li'er with a straight face: "Sister...... Why don't we think about it again? Nankang's merry and talented people are famous, otherwise you go to Nankang to find Uncle Tie and ask him to find another wishful husband for you? ”
Fu Yi, who had just been trained by the forest ghost to a headbag, finally couldn't help it at this time:
"What a stupid! The reason why the Mobei people are so desperate is nothing more than several possibilities: either they are threatened by the trade of Beiyan or Nankang; Either they were directly cut off from the trade route by the Northern Yan people, and there was no grain flowing into the grassland, which would make them fight against the water. In fact, as long as it can be solved by silver or food, it is not a big deal for my Youbei, as long as the people of the grassland can survive the famine year safely, who is willing to use swords and soldiers! ”
Shen Gui heard this and added to his words:
"So you think you're in the first place, and you're wrong. Although you and Bao Guifei are both communication chips with the grassland people, this is only of some value to my Youbei Third Road. And in this game, Youbei has always been a passive party; If Beiyan, who occupies the initiative, can send someone to assassinate Bao Guifei and then blame any of the leading figures in Youbei, then the grassland people will naturally form an undying blood feud with us...... You must know that although Bao Guifei's maiden family is now in decline, it is also the first male lord in the history of Mobei after all. ”
Yan Qinghong's head was stuffed with these questions that he hadn't expected, and he couldn't turn around for a while. He said in a daze:
"But after all, my mother lives in the Northern Palace, how could she be assassinated by the Northern Yan people? No matter how powerful a spy is, it is impossible to break into the palace and kill people! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people in the room looked at him with extremely ambiguous eyes. Tie Lian'er, who really couldn't look at it, leaned into Yan Qinghong's ear and said the three words "Liu Banxian", and Yan Qinghong immediately withered. Although he still refuses to admit defeat:
"That day, the Spirit Vein Martial Artist was not a cabbage, as long as you keep an eye on that old liar, it is impossible for anyone to break into the palace and assassinate the concubine!"
Shen Gui tapped his fingers on the table and reminded him:
"The most terrifying killer in the world is not a killer with superb martial arts, nor is it a Heavenly Spirit Vein martial artist like Liu Banxian...... It's a mole! ”
Yan Qinghong completely fell into Shen Gui's reasoning from a somewhat conspiracy theory angle. In an instant, the faces of countless eunuchs and palace maids flashed in his mind, and even the imperial dining room and the Huanyi Bureau were not missed, but they were still mushy.
"And ......" Before he could figure out why, Shen Gui spoke again: "And what you said is not entirely wrong, you yourself are currently in danger." Of course, it's not because you're also targeted by the Beiyan people. What I'm worried about is the two ...... who live in the East Palace."
When Yan Qinghong heard this, he suddenly shuddered, and his mind became extremely clear: Yes, he has been invisible for more than 20 years without his grandmother and uncle's love. Recently, I don't know that the demon wind blew in the wrong direction, and it actually blew the center point of this major event to his mother and son. A large part of the reason why he has endured so many years is that he is very aware of his eldest brother's narrow-minded nature. Since he didn't want to be the emperor, why bother to arouse his suspicions. But now, he has been pushed down on the cusp of the storm and is unavoidable, coupled with his current somewhat embarrassing age, he will naturally be regarded as a thorn in the side of his eldest brother.
Yan Qinghong still thought a little simple, if he knew that this bad thing was completely caused by the prince, and now he actually had to rely on himself to settle it, then he must be even more panicked at this time.
Shen Gui saw that Yan Qinghong's face was pale, and he patted him on the shoulder with a little comfort:
"Actually, it's not so serious, you first go and quietly sieve all the eunuchs and palace maids in Concubine Bao's bedroom, and then secretly lay a few secret piles, and at the same time, the two of you also try to avoid contact with the living, especially the neighbors of the queen and the prince. When the incident subsides, there will be no major problems. ”
Yan Qinghong was still confused, but after listening to Shen Gui's words, he still nodded indifferently. It didn't take long for him to turn his head and look at Shen Gui coldly:
"If you don't let me go out, how can I come to you if I have an emergency?"
Shen Gui rubbed his chin with his hand, inhaled like a toothache, and then scratched his sideburns and said:
"The people you can use now, whether it's light or dark, no one can say when they are human and when they become ghosts, and they really can't be trusted anymore. It's better to do this, let the little fox of Princess Fengyang be a person who spreads the word in the middle, although it is a bit ostentatious, but it can also ensure that the news will not leak to a certain extent......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Shen Gui with some ambiguity, and Shen Gui had a frank face, but the base of his neck was slightly red.
"Shen Gui! Why don't you go to me when you're hurt! ”
Just when the atmosphere in the room was extremely ambiguous, a woman's voice sounded very familiar to Shen Gui from outside the door.
