Chapter II. 222

"Now that we're here, I'll tell you about my plans as well. You Shen Guizhi is only several times more than me, and you will definitely be able to help me see what is missing. ”

Yan Qinghong looked at Shen Gui, a staunch 'fatalist' opposite, and smiled extremely relaxedly. After all, he hadn't been so relaxed for many years since he was sensible.

As early as when he was a child, he felt the cruelty of being born in the heavenly family in the different attitudes of the Yan family towards his two brothers. And the Lan concubine who was killed by Yan Day, when she was in the Mobei grassland, was also a figure on the cusp. How could such a co-master of the grassland, the only bloodline of the Sons and Daughters of the Jin clan, be as hopeless as he seems?

As Yan Shuqing just said, all the previous performances of her second brother were just a means to protect herself while taking the initiative to retreat.

Just imagine, if Yan Qinghong is also talented since he was a child, and he is also the blood of the neighboring country of Mobei Grassland, which is 'both friend and foe', then the clansmen of the Yan family, and even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces on the three roads of Youbei, will naturally bet between the two brothers; Some people like the icing on the cake, and naturally some people like to send charcoal in the snow; No matter what one chooses, what they seek is just fame and fortune. In essence, these two types of people are not different from each other.

However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Youbei Third Road has been destined to be a three-legged trend. Inside, Li Deng controls the financial power, and Guo Yunsong leads the military affairs; In this way, there are not many places left for the Heavenly Family Yan Clan to flicker and move; If these two princes are also very prominent, then the wall grass that originally belonged to the Yan family will definitely split into two factions; One faction is the icing on the cake who is unswerving and follows in the footsteps of his father and the crown prince; The other faction of people who can't grab a good position will turn around and burn the cold stove of their second prince, wanting to be small and big. At all times, the Yan family, which was originally in a weak position, was naturally unable to deal with the tilting of the Guo and Li families......

In that case, no matter which side the imperial chair belongs to, the Yan family will be the biggest loser. At this point, Yan Hunt and Yan Day, father and son, didn't see it, or they didn't care much if they saw it; On the other hand, Yan Qinghong, the prince who has been ridiculed for more than 20 years, has long been worried, and took the initiative to back down with the solution he thought of.

Yes, in the eyes of the young man, the Guo and Li families are not only not the pillars of the country, but the two powerful ministers who are powerful bullies. What's more, no matter what kind of thoughts these two kings with different surnames have in their hearts, it is impossible for the Yan family to use the entire Youbei Three Roads to test the humanity and loyalty of these two powerful ministers.

In his opinion, since it is a gamble that he cannot afford to lose, there is no need to open the market at all.

And today, Yan Qinghong has seen with his own eyes the result of his voluntary concession: his hard work, instead of getting stronger and stronger of the Yan family and Youbei Third Road, has pushed all the people of Youbei Third Road into purgatory.

The officials under the Li family's 'tree' are as greedy as jackals, and the lackeys of the prince and his father's disciples are three points more evil than them; The soldiers of the Guo family fought for the country, and as a result, those 'sharp blades of the country' were all divided. It can be said that in this war between the two norths, except for Yan Chongwu, an unborn bright general, there is not a single soldier to fight in the entire Youbei! And it turned out that the Flying Tiger Army, which was as famous as Tai Baiwei, under the leadership of Zhang Huangling, a mediocre person, turned into a group of wine bags and rice bags who were greedy for life and afraid of death!

If it weren't for Shen Gui's ruthless determination and use that serial poisonous plan, he ignited a heavenly fire in the Eastern Customs and annihilated the enemy of Beiyan; At this time, the people of Youbei Third Road had already been trampled by the steel knife and war horse in the palm of Yanyun Iron Horse, moaning and wailing day and night.

In fact, for Yan Qinghong's gentle and humble nature, it is not unacceptable for him to take the initiative to withdraw from the struggle for imperial power, but it also carries a sense of relief; But the secluded country that he humbly let out was ruined like this by his ancestor father and brother, how could he not feel heartbroken!

What's more, if the three roads in Youbei fall into the hands of the enemy, the two fathers and sons of the Yan family can escape under the protection of elite armorers, continue to be their rich men, and live their peaceful life; But those ordinary people in the north, where can they go?

Therefore, at this moment in Yan Qinghong's heart, he has already raised his family hatred to the level of national hatred. Although, he doesn't know who he really should hate.

At this moment, in the face of Shen Gui, an irreversible friend, he finally planned to reveal his true intentions. In fact, it can also be said that it was not until this moment that Yan Qinghong completely believed in Shen Gui's 'friend'.

"Yan Tian must no longer be the emperor of Youbei, the life of the people is too hard, and they can no longer be succeeded by an emperor who is very happy; However, he did not have to die...... According to my idea, I can reward him with a large sum of silver, and then expel him from the three roads of Youbei, so that he can live a peaceful and prosperous second half of his life; Or, put him under house arrest in Dongkun Palace and ...... with his mother."

"Can you be a little weaker?" When Shen Gui heard this, he glanced at Yan Qinghong. He had long known that the real Yan Qinghong was an extremely kind person, but he didn't expect him to be so kind! In the face of the blood feud of killing his mother, he was still thinking about the enemy's 'old life', if he hadn't been together for such a long time, he would definitely think that Yan Qinghong was just pretending.

"Can you be a little weaker? Concubine Lan died at his hands, and you still want to reunite their mother and son? What do you think? Come and talk to me about your mental journey, okay, Second Master Yan? ”

Yan Qinghong saw his eager appearance, and waved his hand casually:

"Hi...... I'm just thinking about it, is it really that easy to bring down the prince? Your father-in-law, Li Dengke, is his maternal uncle, do you think that King Dongyou will stand by and watch? Although he has been accustomed to not speaking a word for many years, who would really think that this Dongyou King is really weak and deceitful? You go and ask Wan Changning, for many years, the people who dared to anger Li Deng on the three roads of Youbei, no matter how powerful he was at that time, didn't he still end up with a bleak end where no one was alive or dead? ”

Shen Gui looked at Yan Qinghong's serious appearance, and his heart was also terrified: in his eyes, the impression of Li Deng has always been that he is just a rich little old man with his hands in his cuffs, speaking and doing things slowly and methodically, and his temper and expression are also easy-going and soft; But now, according to what Yan Qinghong said, it turns out that this gentle and elegant 'Confucian businessman prime minister' has such a ruthless side.

Of course, who can fight for their own piece of the world in such a chaotic and wild place as Youbei Third Road, who will be a good man with no temper?

For a long time, Shen Gui has never hidden his disgust for Yan Tian in front of Li Deng; And the other party seems to have no nephew at all, and has been ignorant of Shen Gui's transgressions, and has taken resigned measures to it; Now after Yan Qinghong's reminder, Shen Guicai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: although Li Deng seemed to appreciate himself very much; But if the time comes, will he turn against him? After all, although he and Li Le'an have a marriage contract, in the face of such a major event, the private relationship of their children is actually not binding.

Lee Deng...... Li Deng's side handed it over to me ......! ”

Shen Gui lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and finally made this promise dryly. In fact, he himself has no bottom in his heart, but between him Yan Qinghong and Li Deng, there is no friendship; And the most important thing is that the crown prince Yan Tian colluded with Wan Changning first; He also instructed the scar man who listened to Nan Kangdi to assassinate Li Le'an, plotting to follow the secluded land of Li Jiadong; These dirty things, even if there is no guarantee that Li Deng will be on his side, can also guarantee that he will not be on the side of the crown prince. After all, everything can be faked, but his love for the calf licking of his only daughter Li Le'an must be sincere.

"If the Dongyou Li family doesn't have to worry, then there are only two troubles left. One is Pei Ya, the governor of Zhongshan Road, who took over your Guo family's ancestral business; The other is Yan Chongwu, the newly promoted 'Protector Divine Pillar' of Youbei Third Road, which was created by you. You must know that Yu Gong, this Yan Shuai is also subject to Yan Jiuning, the great sect of the clan mansion; Yu private, my identity as the second prince is not as good as the orthodox name of the prince of the prison country in any way. So the attitude of him and the Flying Bear Army under his command can be imagined......"

Yan Qinghong counted his fingers and carefully analyzed Shen Gui; After listening to this, Shen Gui only frowned, and said his own arrangement to Yan Qinghong:

"As early as after the Battle of Puhe, I dug a big pit for Pei Ya in Shuangshan City. As long as he falls, he may not be able to come out alive; And, whether he gets up or not, I still have another killer move in my hand. Could it be that you and your father have the same thoughts, do you really think that you have uprooted my Guo family? ”

Of course, Yan Qinghong knew that the killing move that Shen Gui was referring to was the former governor of Zhongshan Road, Fu Ye's son Fu Yi. This Fu Yi has been helping his unobtrusive father 'wipe his buttocks' since he was a child, the main generals of the Zhongshan Governor's Army, and even the military and civilian people of the entire Zhongshan Road, the attachment to the old master Guo Yunsong and Fu Ye in his heart has been transferred to this young man. If it is twenty years later, after all the veterans of this stubble wither, maybe Fu Yi will really not be able to play a role; But at this moment, if Fu Yi and Shen Gui waved their arms, it is really difficult to say whether the entire Zhongshan Road will change the sky......

"No, no, no...... I've never thought of it that way. Originally, what I feared the most was the elite of the 50,000 Flying Bear Army with the momentum of a great victory; And the most headache for me is the handsome Yan Chongwu. After all, you personally lifted him to the sky, and now with his prestige in the government and the opposition, it is too tricky for us to deal with...... How do you think you should solve the sins you have done? ”

Shen Gui touched his bare chin and asked a little inquiringly:

"What do you think?"

"Co-opt, or exterminate altogether."

"Extermination? Where did you come from? ”

"Borrowed from Mobei...... I've probed the tone of Mobei's envoy Mugel before......"

Yan Qinghong was about to continue, but was interrupted by Shen Gui waving his hand:

"Friend, your plan to 'drive the tiger and devour the wolf' does sound good, but I'll tell you a story, right? The name is 'Attracting Qing Soldiers into the Customs'......"
