(Yang Yu protests to the author: Do you know how to write novels?) At the beginning of a volume, you should write about the scenery along the way, lyricism or something! Come up and write me!?
Author: The protest is invalid, let's not talk about water, hurry up and get into the plot!
Yang Yu: ...... You're not a water word?! )
In fact, it was not very smooth, but Yang Yu had already mixed to the point of almost distribution, so he had no scruples at all, and made a small detour to visit King Yan.
Yang Yu thought that the second prince was now the king of Yan, and it was estimated that it was not so simple for him to want to see him, so he sent Zhang Junhai to deliver the letter early.
Unexpectedly, when I entered Yanjing City, I just arrived at the gate of the palace, and I saw a group of people in front of the door, thinking about how King Yan's guards were so undisciplined, how they were crowded together, and I heard King Yan's voice: "Brother Yang, Brother Yang, hahahaha, I didn't expect us to meet so soon." "It turned out that King Yan was in the crowd, and he actually came out of the palace!
Yang Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly dismounted, walked quickly to him, and stepped forward to salute: "His Royal Highness King Yan, how can this make the ministers dare not ...... Chen Yang Yu see His Royal Highness! Yang Yuyi didn't expect King Yan to welcome him at the gate of the palace, and secondly, he didn't expect to call himself Brother Yang in public, both of which scared him half to death.
Yang Yu has been in this plane for three years, and he is completely unaware of the hierarchy at this time. Although King Yan is down, after all, he is the younger brother of Emperor Shunzheng, and he is the king, whether he welcomes himself to the gate of the palace, or calls himself Brother Yang, he can't afford it at all. This is also more than 20 years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, and the hierarchy and etiquette system are not strict enough to kill people, or just rely on these two things, and also distribute, and the official can directly make himself a civilian.
How do you know that Yan Wang didn't care, he helped Yang Yu and said, "Don't, don't make these false things, I'm in this field now, it's not easy for you to come to see me." Sister Dolan is here too, right? Let's get drunk tonight! Come on, let's talk as we go. ”
Yang Yu hurriedly said: "I would like to listen to the arrangement of His Royal Highness King Yan!" "Looking carefully, I saw that King Yan was taller and fatter than before, and today he only put on a robe at random, tied it with a jade belt, his eyes were red, and he could smell the smell of wine.
When King Yan left Beijing, his performance was quite normal, but he didn't expect that it had been less than a year since he was separated, and he had become like this, even in front of the public, he had no scruples, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but he didn't say anything else in front of everyone, but only followed King Yan in.
Yang Yu knew that King Yan was martial and good at the art of war, and he wanted to lead troops to help his brother Emperor Shunzheng, just like Xiong Ziyang, the prince of Chu, who led troops to fight in the south and north. Could it be that Emperor Shunzheng drove King Yan out as soon as he ascended the throne, and King Yan was disheartened and gave up on himself?
Sure enough, in the next conversation between the two, King Yan had many complaints in his words, and he spoke coldly about Emperor Shunzheng and Nanzheng, and Yang Yu persuaded a few words, but it had no effect at all.
At the dinner in the evening, only people close to both sides attended, Yang Yu's side was Duolan, Zhang Junhai and Wang Dazheng, and on the Yan Wang's side, it was the chief official Zhu Rongdan, the army member Meng Chunxia and the chief bookkeeper Jiang Hong, these three people knew Yang Yu when they were in the central capital before, and they were all old people around King Yan.
After spilling three rounds, King Yan drank a few glasses of wine, and began to complain again, and what he said to Emperor Shunzheng became more and more explicit, Yang Yu sweated when he heard it, fortunately, there were not many people attending the banquet, and they were all close to both sides, so they were not afraid to spread it.
Halfway through Yang Yu came out to go to the toilet, and just after cleaning his hands, a person quietly flashed to his side and said, "Yang Tingshi, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Yang Yu saw that it was Zhu Rongdan, the chief official, and it was estimated that he came out with him to wait for him. Zhu Rongdan is a gentle young man, Yang Yu has a good impression of him, and hurriedly said: "Chief Zhu doesn't need to see outside, if you have any orders, it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”
Zhu Rongdan didn't dare to say anything, so he said: "Maybe Yang Tingshi can also see it, His Royal Highness King Yan is currently disheartened, self-defeating, and he can't hide it, His Royal Highness doesn't care about affairs at all, he drinks all day long, and he can't wake up for a long time, if it goes on like this, even if everyone doesn't impeach, the emperor doesn't blame, and it won't be long before he is abolished." ”
"But a few of us have persuaded us many times, but Your Highness just won't listen. I listened to His Royal Highness's words, and I admired Yang Rashi very much, and I took the liberty to ask Yang Rashi to persuade His Highness. ”
When Yang Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "It should be so, Yang originally had this intention." However, what is the reason why His Highness is so depressed? When I left Beijing that day, I saw that although His Highness was sad, it was not like this? ”
Zhu Rongdan said: "His Royal Highness left Beijing, and it was normal at first, because he knew that the new emperor had ascended the throne and it was normal to canonize the vassal king. But when I arrived in Yanzhou, I found that this place was too poor, not a lack of this, and the tax could not be collected fifty percent, after all, His Royal Highness was used to eating and drinking, so he wrote to the emperor to ask for this and that, but the emperor not only did not allow it, but also issued an order to reprimand, and His Royal Highness was completely sad. ”
Yang Yu was ashamed in his heart, he didn't know these things in the capital, and replied: "Okay, so I have a number in my heart, and I will find a way to persuade His Highness tomorrow." ”
Zhu Rongdan was overjoyed and threw himself to the ground: "Zhu deeply feels Yang Rashi's great virtue." ”
Yang Yu hurriedly helped him up: "It's all for King Yan, don't see outside." ”
The two returned to the table one after another, and although the Night Swallow King was in a good mood, he was drunk in the end.
The next day, Yang Yu asked to see King Yan, and the reply was that His Royal Highness King Yan had not woken up from the night, several times, until noon, no one came to report that King Yan had gotten up, please have lunch with him.
Yang Yu entered the restaurant and smiled bitterly, only to see that the wine was on the table again, thinking that you are so drunk, what I said will not work, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the minister came from afar, there is a reluctant request, I want to ask Your Highness to take the minister to see the scenery of Yanjing, let's not drink at noon today, right?" ”
King Yan said: "This poor and remote place, what is there to see." That being said, I didn't drink anymore. Zhu Rongdan was very clever, and immediately arranged the afternoon trip when he saw the situation. After lunch, the two of them changed into their regular clothes, and only the guards secretly followed them out of the palace.
Out of the palace, the two wandered aimlessly down the street. According to Yang Yu's point of view, this Yanjing City is not as good as Zhongdu, and it is not as good as many other high-class counties, the height of the buildings, the degree of prosperity, and the density of the population are not good, so it is no wonder that King Yan is resentful.
King Yan hasn't been out of the palace for a long time, it's hard to get out today, and his mood looks pretty good, and he and Yang Yu are talking about some old things about the two of them, while strolling around.
Yang Yu responded, thinking repeatedly in his heart, how to persuade him?
