Yan Lianyun was frightened enough by the knife, and she sat at the door of the main hall in a panic, and the maids carefully pinched their legs and backs on the side and waited, for fear that Yan Lianyun would be beaten to the point of losing her life if she gave an order.

A master like Yan Lianyun who likes to take a maid out of anger when he is in a bad mood is the most difficult to serve, the master is angry, his little fate is half hung in the sky, and the dexterous maid hides away as soon as she sees her face, who wants to find this bitterness?

The little girl kneeling on the ground was nervous all the time, her hands were loose and tight, and suddenly Yan Lianyun was pinched a little painfully, so she shouted: "Oops! It hurts me to death, do you little girl want to kill me on purpose, someone dragged me out and beat me to death." ”

The maid in the orange shirt hurriedly kowtowed and cried: "The Queen Mother spare me!

Qing Ziyuan walked in slowly at this time, and Yan Lianyun saw the great master, so he said, "Don't spare your life and get out of here." ”

The little maid crawled out of the courtyard.

Qing Ziyuan walked up with his hand and said, "I've seen the Queen Mother, is your health better?"

Yan Lianyun said with a smile: "Great Master, Qi Hongtian dares to use a knife against me, what do you say I can do, he is blatantly rebelling." ”

A few little maids glanced at Yan Lianyun's face, and they all went out and closed the door, they were secretly glad that Qing Ziyuan had arrived well at this time, otherwise they wouldn't know how they would die.

Qing Ziyuan regarded the Empress Dowager Palace as his home, when he came, he was familiar with the light car, and when he went, he didn't need Yan Lianyun's polite words, he walked to the side and sat down, for a long time, Qing Ziyuan had to run the Empress Dowager several times a day to discuss some major matters, and these light cars were familiar enough to see.

Once went to the Empress Dowager's Palace, maybe he had to hide, but now who in the world doesn't know, the court is divided into three factions, one faction is headed by Yan Lianyun and Qing Ziyuan, and the other faction is headed by Uncle Liu Huang, so the remaining faction is naturally Qi Hongtian.

Of course, people like Xiao Yuanshan, who don't take refuge in anyone, can't be considered a faction.

It is already the most normal for Qing Ziyuan to run to Yan Lianyun, no one will talk about this matter, even if the people don't want to talk about it, let alone those commonplace courtiers.

On the contrary, Qing Ziyuan did not run to the Empress Dowager's Palace, which would make people feel that it was abnormal.

"Don't worry, the Queen Mother, Qi Hongtian didn't dare to kill, if he had the guts, he would have killed you a long time ago. Qing Ziyuan held his beard and comforted, "It's just that I'm wondering why Uncle Liu Huang didn't give up the opportunity to Ji Chen, after all, Ji Chen is his henchman." ”

Yan Lianyun said with some atmosphere: "Great Brother, our only military power is gone, is it really not the strength to compete with Qi Hongtian? Now we should consider ourselves, Uncle Liu Huang is at least stronger than us, why worry about him?"

Qing Ziyuan smiled gently: "We still have those civil officials and intellectuals, and those guards guarding the city are not a few together, which can be regarded as our military power!"

Yan Lianyun frowned and said: "Great country teacher, don't mention those guards, they are so weak that they are vulnerable, where is they like a soldier? ”

"You can train, and you can train a good soldier, Queen Mother, I thought of a way to order those prefects to strengthen the guards, and each of them tried their best to train the soldiers and horses At this time, the southern uprising is a good time, at least Qi Hongtian will think that in order to block the southern uprising, practice the soldiers and horses. ”

"Hehe, national teacher, are you really afraid of Qi Hongtian? Or are you afraid that your beloved disciple will never come out?"

Qing Ziyuan paused, Yan Lianyun seemed to be much smarter, and he guessed all this of his thoughts, so he said: "I'm afraid that my beloved disciple will never have a chance to come out." ”

Yan Lianyun smiled with some sarcasm: "Because of Qi Hongtian's words when he went to court today, he said that as long as you don't make a name for yourself, maybe your disciple will have a chance to become an official and a half-job? But do you believe what Qi Hongtian said? This is a clear threat to you? Why would you be afraid of him as a great power teacher? If you want me to say that if it is really for Chen Feng, simply let Chen Feng go." ”

Qing Ziyuan himself didn't know how many times he had thought about it in private, and found an excuse to release Chen Feng from prison, but Qi Hongtian was bound to be unconvinced, if he really killed him, no one would be able to keep it, and the only way out to compete with Qi Hongtian at the moment was to train the guards of various Zhizhou to become strong soldiers.

So the prescient Qing Ziyuan was not angry at Yan Lianyun's words, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the Queen Mother, what do you use to compete with Qi Hongtian." ”

Just such a simple and clear sentence, Yan Lianyun was stunned when she heard this, she really couldn't answer this, and hurriedly said: "Why does the great master think that those prefects will obey us? At this time, we are the weakest, isn't it better to leave us?"

Qing Ziyuan laughed and said: "At this time, they will obey us even more, first, Qi Hongtian and civil officials have always been incompatible, Qi Hongtian is arrogant and looks down on civil officials, everyone knows that those civil officials will definitely not go to ridicule themselves, and it is even more impossible to take refuge in Qi Hongtian." ”

"As for this Uncle Liu Huang, a few days ago, Tang Li secretly killed a few corrupt officials, and now how many of the officials are clean? Isn't this a tiger's mouth? Therefore, in addition to us, who else can we take refuge in, we should huddle together to keep warm at this time. ”

Yan Lianyun and his entourage listened to the silent calculations, according to what the national teacher said, Uncle Liu Huang killed many of his henchmen when he rectified corrupt officials, and he didn't know where to get his anger?

Looking at it this way, Uncle Liu Huang killing corrupt officials is a good thing for him, getting more henchmen, Yan Lianyun is in a much better mood, and said with a smile: "National teacher, I finally know why you watched Uncle Liu Huang kill our henchmen without saying a word, it turns out that you have long seen the benefits of this way." ”

"The Queen Mother, I finally figured it out, in my opinion, Uncle Liu Huang looked at Sven on the surface, and swore that he didn't want to be the emperor in his life, I think these are just lies, he is making calculations, no one knows, and Qi Hongtian only fancy Shen Ye's reputation? Who believes you? These two people are not simple, they each have a golden abacus, the Queen Mother, we have to look at every step of the way is ten steps away. ”

"The great master is reasonable, I think Uncle Liu Huang is a hypocrite, as for Shen Ye, do we move or not?"

"Don't move, Shen Ye is too critical, first, he has a good relationship with Uncle Liu Huang, second, Qi Hongtian cherishes him, maybe these two people contradict Shen Ye and create opportunities for us, right?"

"How do I feel that Uncle Liu Huang borrowed Qi Hongtian's hand to push Shen Ye to the position of general of Zhennan, and then took Qi Hongtian's 50,000 dead soldiers to become his subordinates?"

"The Queen Mother said to the point, but Uncle Liu Huang didn't like 50,000 dead soldiers, he liked the wordless battalion, General Sima Tianzhuo, anyway, Sima Tianzhuo is a first-class talent in the Zhenbei Army. ”

"But the key is that after Shen Ye became General Zhennan, did he listen to Uncle Liu Huang or Qi Hongtian?

"Queen Mother, let Yan Jiuli and Shen Ye be closer. ”

Yan Lianyun nodded, she seemed to have come out of the clouds, and the feeling of a village was suddenly bright, and she understood what she should do at this time.
