Liu Yan and Concubine Hua sat down opposite each other to eat. To put it cruelly, this is the first time that Liu Yan and Concubine Hua have eaten together after marriage. During the banquet, Liu Yan removed the content about Concubine Hua from what happened in Yin'an Hall today, and told Concubine Hua one by one. Concubine Hua listened quietly, and poured vegetables and wine for Liu Yan from time to time.

After Liu Yan finished speaking, Concubine Hua said lightly: "Your Royal Highness and the concubine have said so much, but the concubine thinks that it is not appropriate for a woman to discuss the government, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble to the court." ”

Liu Yan originally admired Concubine Hua's graceful figure while talking, which was actually a kind of enjoyment, but now Concubine Hua threw out such a sentence lukewarmly, and couldn't help but be unhappy, and snorted angrily: "Can you not look like you have nothing to do with yourself." Let's not mention the government for the time being, now it's my father's woman who is threatening your man, are you my woman? I ask you what's wrong with analyzing this from a woman's point of view? ”

"His Royal Highness's words are really detrimental to the royal image." Concubine Hua still said unhurriedly.

Liu Yan became more and more angry: "Don't avoid the important and trivial, I want to listen to your opinion on these things, what do you care about my words!" ”

Concubine Hua still said expressionlessly: "The concubine heard that in ancient times, people were arrogant and arrogant, and they never understood, but today I finally saw one or two of them from His Royal Highness." ”

Liu Yan was speechless with a sentence, but now Liu Yan finally understood the problem. Concubine Hua's personality is very stubborn, if she is really a talented woman as her father said, she naturally refuses to bow to herself easily, she has always had a condescending attitude towards the concubines, and Concubine Hua is always cold to herself because of this. It looks like I've done the wrong thing from the start, and then it gets worse.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan hurriedly stood up from his seat and said with a deep salute: "I was reckless just now, please Niangniang, you have a lot of Haihan." What Fang just said is very important, and I ask my mother to give me advice. ”

Concubine Hua said: "Your Highness is such a big gift, the concubine can't afford it." ”

Liu Yan saw that Concubine Hua said this but did not mean to stop her, but the words eased up a little, so she simply did more, so she came up to fill a glass of wine for Concubine Hua, and then stood on the side and said, "Please have a drink to moisten your throat." ”

Concubine Hua was not polite when she saw it, she took a sip of the wine glass, and then said: "As His Royal Highness said, my father's dragon body may have reached a very critical situation, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have told His Highness the truth with my father's personality." His Royal Highness should prepare for the aftermath as soon as possible to avoid changes in the palace. ”

"Is it that serious?" Liu Yan was taken aback, this was much more serious than he had imagined.

Concubine Hua nodded and said, "I hope the concubine is too worried." My father is a far-sighted person, and he will not do things for no reason. If the concubine says something that shouldn't be said, I'm afraid that my father's body can survive until this winter, and the imperial doctors are clever. During this period, His Highness did have a lot to do. ”

Concubine Hua took another sip when she said this, and Liu Yan hurriedly filled it for her. Concubine Hua said: "Concubine Li is a very powerful character, the concubine has been invited so many times, the depth of her city is chilling, her every move is simply not flawed, otherwise with her father's insight, it is impossible to condone her to this day." Although His Royal Highness's younger brother Liu Xian is only thirteen years old, he is smart and clever above His Royal Highness, and with this alone, Li Guifei will spare no effort to accumulate strength to think of her son on the throne.

If she guessed correctly, her father has been trying to suppress her power in the past few years, and if her father is gone, and His Royal Highness's strength is not enough to contain her, the situation will slowly get out of control. Now the biggest card in His Highness's hand is Chang Miao's hundreds of thousands of Liaodong troops, but unfortunately they are now far away from the front line of Goryeo, and they can't quench their thirst from far away. The easiest way to reverse this situation is to win over those neutrals in the DPRK. ”

Concubine Hua's words made Liu Yan dumbfounded. What she said was exactly the same as what her father said, I really didn't expect that this wife of mine was such a thoughtful person, she hadn't found out for so many years, and she had to be reminded by her father, she was really ashamed. Seeing that Concubine Hua's expression was still calm when she said this, there was a light in her eyes that was difficult to hide. Liu Yanxin said that this is what I really like, and I owe you for enduring it for so long. Immediately, he said, "Neutral? They are so few in number, and how can they fall to my side so easily. ”

Concubine Hua showed an imperceptible smile and said, "The number of neutral factions in the court is small, but it should not be underestimated. Centrists are people who do not want to get involved in political struggles, but how can they become neutrals if they are not strong enough? How could the father allow his courtiers to stay out of the matter so easily? The father and emperor can't force their position out for decades, if it's not strong enough, who can do it? ”

"Makes sense, makes sense. But how can these people take a position so easily? ”

When Concubine Hua heard this, a smile finally appeared on the corner of her mouth. Just between this smile, the coquettishness and touching made Liu Yan stunned. Concubine Hua noticed his distraction, nudged him and said, "What is Your Highness thinking?" ”

Liu Yan came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile: "Fang Cai Niangniang's smile is really shocking, I don't think there is anything else, as long as Niangniang you come out, it is enough to make them change their minds." ”

Concubine Hua's face flushed slightly, and she said angrily: "Speaking of business, what is Your Highness talking nonsense." ”

"Yes, yes, please go ahead and listen to you." Liu Yan said and poured the wine in the cup again.

Concubine Hua said: "Your Highness wants them to fall to your side, naturally they will have to pay some price, as long as they are prescribed, they should be able to succeed in targeting their weaknesses." ”

Liu Yan said disappreciably: "I'm afraid it's not that easy, if there is really a weakness, can my father not succeed for so many years?" ”

"Definitely. The father may not be unaware of these weaknesses, but first of all, the father does not have to make a statement to maintain the balance of the political situation, and secondly, the father disdains to use these methods, most of which are double-edged swords, which can not only catch others, but also give people a handle. But His Highness is different, His Highness must fight for these forces. ”

Liu Yan nodded and said, "That's true." In this case, this matter should be started as soon as possible, but how to open the gap? ”

Concubine Hua glanced at him and said coldly, "Why does Your Highness ask knowingly. My father, Ping Guogong, was a neutralist. If it weren't for your father and emperor to remind your Highness, how could Your Highness suddenly come to ask your concubines these questions? This person chooses a concubine and thinks there is no need to discuss it, right? ”

was told what he was concealing, Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "I really can't hide anything from you, if this palace knew that you have such a great ability, how dare I hide it just now." I couldn't hide it from the beginning, but it seemed that I had a small belly and chicken intestines, and I didn't have the bearing of the Wang family. ”

Concubine Hua nodded and said, "Your Highness reacted quickly, this is clear." It seems that the concubines also underestimated His Highness. ”
