Chapter 90: Exploring the Shengwen Hall at Night
Du Yan looked at the pile of notes on it, which were basically about Nanshang Construction and the like, and she flipped through it and found that the content was basically the same.
Du Yan turned her head to look at Xiao Yechen, and saw that Xiao Yechen was looking at the recent fold on the other side and didn't care about her, so she raised her hand and stretched out her hand to the fold below.
It took him a lot of effort to pull out the pads underneath from the pile of music folds above, Du Yan took out a dozen copies, and began to look at them in the moonlight.
There is an intuition telling her that there must be something important underneath, Du Yan opened the first book and found that it was a military attachΓ©'s fold, which listed Luonan's new army, as well as the appropriate size in the army, etc., Du Yan looked back, and everything written on this fold was the number of troops, camps, military rations and other things. Although it was ordinary, the numbers in it surprised Du Yan.
For example, there are hundreds of thousands of new promotions in the army, and the amount of grain and grass is even larger, Du Yan doesn't understand these things in the army, but she also feels that these numbers are not normal. She raised her head and quietly glanced at Xiao Yechen, Xiao Yechen also happened to raise her eyes to meet Du Yan, Xiao Yechen smiled at Du Yan and said, "What's wrong?" β
Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the fold in his hand, and raised his hand to beckon Xiao Yechen over. After Xiao Yechen sat down beside her, Du Yan handed the copy in her hand to Xiao Yechen.
"If you look at this, I think the data in here is very abnormal." Du Yan looked at Xiao Yechen, her brows furrowed, Xiao Yechen also knew that this was indeed not an ordinary content, so she also looked at it seriously.
Xiao Yechen looked at it for a long time, and it wasn't until Xiao Yechen's eyes fell on the last line of words that Du Yan asked on the side: "Is this military demand really right?" β
As soon as Xiao Yechen played in the ensemble, his expression became serious, he looked at Du Yan and said, "It's really unusual, every bit is abnormal." β
Du Yan anxiously tugged at Xiao Yechen's sleeve and looked at Xiao Yechen with an urgent face, her father wanted to run to Luonan, and Luonan had abnormal army data, so why didn't she hurry, this piece of music was presented, the emperor must have seen it, then the emperor would definitely be suspicious of the Prime Minister's Mansion, if that was the case, the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion would be very dangerous.
Xiao Yechen raised his hand and gently patted Du Yan's hand holding his sleeve, his eyes gently signaled her to calm down, Du Yan slowly lowered her head when she was watched, and also let go of Xiao Yechen's sleeve.
The two sat side by side, looking at the dark place together, Xiao Yechen slowly spoke: "Luonan has always been unguarded, because Luonan is difficult to attack, and there are no other barbarians to attack, so Luonan has always been lax in management. β
Xiao Yechen glanced at Du Yan and continued: "But Luonan still has a military attache to manage, but this army, as far as I know, has a total of 100,000 people, and it has to be said that it is the entire Luonan army." On top of this recital, it is said that the number of existing troops is 600,000, and the amount of military rations and official silver applied for is also about the same as that of Beichuan, and the imperial court did not order Luonan's army to recruit soldiers, so how could Luonan suddenly have so many more troops. β
After Xiao Yechen finished saying this, he didn't say it anymore, as if he was giving Du Yan one
Time to think. After a pause, he continued: "My father has never said anything about this, and no one in the court has talked about it, no one has mentioned it. β
Du Yan suddenly remembered what An Mingxun had told her, stay away from Xiao Wenqing, Xiao Wenqing is ...... dangerous. At first, An Mingxun was just speculation, but now, Du Yan can basically be sure.
No wonder Xiao Wenqing was silent when he was demoted to the king of the county, no wonder Xiao Wenqing looked as usual when the emperor rewarded other princes, no wonder...... Xiao Wenqing didn't seem to be interested in the throne, no wonder his temperament became gentle.
It turned out that Xiao Wenqing had never changed, but Xiao Wenqing didn't care about these things, he had a new ambition, that is, he overturned the country.
Du Yan suddenly felt a chill down her spine, and at this moment she began to regret it, regretting that she started too quickly, angering Xiao Wenqing, and causing the situation to get out of control.
Xiao Yechen watched Du Yan think about it from the side, and didn't want to disturb her, but Du Yan's mood obviously drifted farther and farther away with her thoughts. Xiao Yechen couldn't see it, and slapped Du Yan's stiff back with one hand.
Du Yan felt the warmth behind her, came back to her senses suddenly, and looked at Xiao Yechen on the side in a daze.
Xiao Yechen grinned at her: "It's okay, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there is always a way." β
Du Yan looked at Xiao Yechen, her eyes darkened: "I'm wondering if I've done something wrong." It is not unreasonable for Du Yan to think so, from the very beginning of her contact with Xiao Wenqing, she has constantly pushed things to an uncontrollable height. And now, she may harm a lot of people, including Xiao Yechen.
Xiao Yechen's eyes reflected the moonlight, looked at Du Yan very gently, and then caressed his hand on Du Yan's little by little, looking at Du Yan was not too disgusted, so he dared to hold the hands that were still scarred in his palms.
"You can't suffer a second time. You did the right thing, now you just need to believe in me, believe in yourself, no matter what Xiao Wenqing wants to do, we can accept it at any time.
Moreover, according to the character of the sixth brother, even if he did not have the previous demotion to the king of the county, he would not give up the throne. In this way, his purpose has not changed, but it has been achieved in a different way.
And I'm glad I did. β
Du Yan raised her head: "Rejoice what?" β
Xiao Yechen looked at her and smiled: "I'm glad he won't use you anymore and hurt you again." "Take you away from me again, of course, Xiao Yechen said this sentence in his heart, and he also wanted to confess to Du Yan, but he understood that now was not the time, so he could only endure it.
Du Yan was also persuaded by Xiao Yechen and said with a smile: "Indeed, I have experienced the worst ending, how can I be afraid of other changes." β
Xiao Yechen sat with Du Yan in the back hall of the Shengwen Palace, leaning on a bunch of twists and turns and laughing, as if the front was not the front, and the mountain was not high.
The two of them communicated in the Shengwen Hall and decided that no matter what Xiao Wenqing wanted to do, they would beat Xiao Wenqing
Hold down.
Xiao Yechen took Du Yan out of the Shengwen Palace, and walked around the palace for a while, and when he was dying in Changting Palace, Xiao Yechen stared at Du Yan's eyes and asked a question.
"Will you marry me?" Xiao Yechen's voice was dry, and his expression froze when he asked, so he looked at Du Yan with a pleading look.
Xiao Yechen's meaning Du Yan understands very well, if she marries Xiao Yechen, then it is equivalent to trapping the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least, Du Chuanlin will not jump to pave the way for Xiao Wenqing. But ......, but Du Yan doesn't want to marry now, or she doesn't want to marry in her life, or she doesn't want to marry again.
