"Your Majesty! Since ancient times, the national teacher has known astronomy and geography, and he can only know medical skills, how can he be worthy of the great responsibility of the national teacher? ”

After Yuan Yan heard this, he immediately opened his mouth to refute.

In fact, most of the civil officials in the court disagreed, and the officials of the entire Great Chu Dynasty, except for the military attachés, were almost all children of the family.

"I said he could, and he could." Xiao Yechen had a cold face, and a pair of sharp eyes swept straight towards Yuan Yan, not angry and arrogant.

Seeing Xiao Yechen's appearance, the ministers below were silent, and they didn't dare to say anything at all, since the last time the Cheng family was beheaded, all the ministers had a new understanding of Xiao Yechen, and now no one is willing to be this up-and-coming bird, only Yuan Yan has been arguing with Xiao Yechen.

He looked at Shang Xiao Yechen's cold gaze, and his heart was stunned, only to feel that these eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart, and he immediately hung a heart, but when he thought of Cheng Xiaoyan's words, he still stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, if you insist on this, what is the difference between you and the faint monarch?" It is only because he cured the queen's illness, and if you are grateful to him, you can reward him with gold and silver treasures, but it is unheard of to reward him with official positions! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked, looking at Yuan Yan with admiration or surprise, and for a while, there was a whispering voice in the court.

Xiao Yechen looked at His Royal Highness Yuan Yan with a smile, his fingers were slightly bent, and he tapped the armrest on the dragon chair, and only said: "Yuan Qing means this, is it to say that I am a faint monarch?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are indeed a generation of Ming monarchs in the matter of governing state affairs, but once it comes to the queen, you are the faint monarch who is confused by beauty!"

Yuan Yan's words were blunt, and he said the thoughts of many ministers present, and they glanced at each other, and they actually saw the color of approval in each other's eyes.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent and thrifty, and the life of the two of them with the queen may not be as good as a servant in Yuan Qing's family, and the queen is even more virtuous and wise, and I have never complained about it. The previous dynasty was destroyed, but the emperor was greedy for pleasure, and the harem concubines were crowded, so there was a struggle for the throne, and there was only one person in my harem, such a thing could never happen, and you belittled the queen here, what should you be guilty of? ”

Xiao Yechen couldn't bear the accusations of others against Du Yan, this Yuan Yan's words were obviously sarcastic Du Yan, he wouldn't bear it, so he immediately said it, and after hearing it, Yuan Yan's face turned white.

This word is ironic, what is better than a servant in one's own house, where does this put oneself? The little caution in Yuan Yan's heart suddenly disappeared, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention!" ”

Even if he had this intention in his heart, he didn't dare to say it now, such a charge was on his head, where did he dare to say anything, and he hurriedly confessed immediately.

Xiao Yechen is now a cronie in the DPRK

Less, but he has all the military power of Chu in his hands, in this world, it will always be the supremacy of military power, and the behemoths of the Cheng family at the beginning have not been beheaded by the whole family?

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan immediately reacted, he knelt on the ground and no longer refuted Xiao Yechen's words.

Yuan Yan's attitude changed, and some ministers in the court and the central government flashed their eyes, but they did not speak.

After going down, Xiao Yechen went to Chenyang Palace with a gloomy face, but Du Yan was not in the palace, and he immediately became nervous.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang has gone to pick up the Star Pavilion."

Hearing this, Xiao Yechen's gloomy face relaxed, he nodded, turned around and walked towards the Star Picking Pavilion.

In the Star Picking Pavilion, the fragrance of tea was overflowing, Du Yan and Qin Li were drinking tea here, and when they saw Xiao Yechen walking in, although he had a smile on his face at this moment, he could still see the anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you angry at their words."

Du Yan greeted her, although she was in the palace, she also heard a little rumor, Yuan Yan's words in the court, after Li Dequan's word-for-word relay, she already knew everything.

"Yan'er, Yuan Yan is really hateful!" Xiao Yechen listened to Du Yan's persuasion, but he shook his head, thinking of Yuan Yan's words today, a burst of anger surged in his heart.

While speaking, a cup of steaming tea appeared in front of Xiao Yechen's eyes, he saw this, and met Qin Li's eyes full of wisdom, and Xiao Yechen only felt that the displeasure in his heart had dissipated a lot, he took the tea, thanked him, and sat opposite Qin Li with Du Yan.

"Your Majesty, did Yuan Yan behave the same way before?"

Qin Li poured tea and asked slowly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yechen was stunned, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he looked at Qin Li, and said, "The meaning of the national teacher is ......"

"As far as the old man knows, this Yuan Yan has always been a courtier who abides by his duty before, but with such a big change in his temperament this time, there must be some kind of variable."

Qin Li replied lightly, just by his few words, Xiao Yechen already had a thought in his heart, he nodded, his face became solemn at this moment, he looked at Qin Li, and said: "What the national teacher said is very true, this Yuan Yan's temperament has suddenly changed, behind this, there must be a reason!" ”

"Does the emperor still remember the relationship between the Cheng family and the Yuan family?" Du Yan reminded loudly: "This Cheng family and the Yuan family have been married for many years, which is quite good for Qin and Jin back then, I heard before that Cheng Yuan and Yuan Yan are brothers and sisters. ”

"Brotherhood! What a brother! After Xiao Yechen heard this, he sneered: "I forgot about this, Yuan Yan and Cheng Yuan have a very good relationship, because of this relationship, Xiao Wenqing will definitely try his best to lobby Yuan Yan, and it seems that today I am afraid that he has already hooked up with Xiao Wenqing." ”

Qin Li nodded, and said in passing: "In this way, Xiao Wenqing is only afraid that he still has to envelop many families in Beijing, and if he wants to set aside the emperor's power, there is another point, the emperor must pay attention."

”

"What?"

"Since ancient times, only those who win the hearts of the people win the world, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the people's hearts are still unstable, Xiao Wenqing is only afraid that he will make a hindrance from it."

Qin Li stroked his beard, he saw that Xiao Yechen's face was extremely solemn at this moment, and said again: "The old man can be regarded as witnessing the rise and fall of two generations of dynasties. ”

Having said that, the three people here all know that it is very difficult to solve these two things, and at the moment, Xiao Wenqing is scheming, and he has set up ambushes everywhere, and it has already taken a lot of effort to solve these things.

"Your Majesty, in the future, we must not let Xiao Wenqing grasp the opportunity, if this is the case, we can only be forced to deal with it, and it will not be a good strategy for a long time."

Du Yanxiu frowned slightly, and her clear eyes were full of worry about Xiao Yechen.

Hearing this, Xiao Yechen and Qin Li both nodded, very much in agreement with this matter, and Xiao Yechen even said: "I have sent people to search for the traces of Xiao Wenqing's men in various places, as long as you follow their tracks, you can always find Xiao Wenqing's lair." ”

Qin Li nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yechen's approach.
