Chapter 141: Xia Yan's sense of crisis
"Hurry up, catch up with the carriage in front...", Peng Yue lifted the curtain, saw Xia Yan's car in front, and hurriedly asked the coachman to speed up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My lord, we are almost at the palace in front, and we can't go any faster...", the coachman raised his horsewhip and cautiously took it back.
"Then hurry up a little bit and catch up with the person in front of you before he gets out of the car...", Peng Yue breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in the car.
I originally went to visit Xia Yan's mansion yesterday, but unfortunately, Xia Yan was not in the mansion. After waiting for most of the day, Xia Yan was still missing, and Peng Yue, who was a little impatient, left a letter to say goodbye. After returning to the house, Peng Yue, who had not waited for Xia Yan's reply, felt a little discouraged, knowing that he would stay with Xue Qi for a while, it was better than making a fight with Xia Yan...
"My lord, I caught up...", the coachman shouted outside at the top of his voice, and Peng Yue was tossed hard, "You just arrived at the place where you got off the car..."
"You slow down...", Peng Yue straightened up and helped the wheel to get out of the car, just in time to see Xia Yan in front of him also just got out of the car, and was about to go to the palace, "Lord Xia, wait for me!" Peng Yue hurriedly raised his throat and shouted.
"Oh? Zi Rui? When Xia Yan heard Peng Yue's shout, he also turned around and froze there, "I heard yesterday that you came to my house, and it just so happened that I had something to go out, so I'm really sorry to let you wait..."
"It's okay, it's okay...", Peng Yue responded with a smile, and suddenly turned to the coachman and said, "Take off my hat, yes, it's the green leaf crown..."
"Lord Xia, have you read the letter I left?" , Peng Yue grabbed the green leaf crown and hurriedly ran in front of Xia Yan. "I also had something to do yesterday, so I waited for a while and left..."
Xia Yan glanced at the green leaf crown in Peng Yue's hand. His face was a little gloomy, "I read the letter." But there's something I want to ask you..."
"Huh? What's the matter...", as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the time of the previous dynasty, Peng Yue asked while walking forward quickly, "Yesterday the time was indeed a little urgent, so I didn't say some things too clearly..."
"I wonder when Yan Song had the idea of marrying his daughter to you?" , Xia Yan frowned and looked at Peng Yue, his eyes full of puzzlement.
"Oh... I said that the emperor's marriage was Yan Song's words, but in fact, I guessed..."
"You don't have to explain this...", Xia Yan waved his hand at Peng Yue. In fact, I don't need you to say it, I can also think that this is Yan Song's idea, otherwise the emperor may not know that Yan Song has such a daughter... I want to ask why Yan Song has this thought? ”
"Yan Song... Ah...", Peng Yue smiled embarrassedly, but his eyes were a little evasive, "He mentioned to me before that he wanted to marry his daughter to me, but... I politely declined..."
"What? Did he mention it to you before? Xia Yan's brows furrowed even tighter, "Why haven't you mentioned this matter to me before?" ”
"I didn't take it to heart before. So I didn't mention it...", Peng Yue blinked and lied, "Actually, I didn't expect it at the time." Yan Song will let the emperor give him a marriage..."
"Yes, who would have thought that Yan Song would make such a move, it seems that Yan Song's determination to marry his daughter to you is quite firm...". Xia Yan said teasingly, "But have you ever wondered why Yan Song behaved like this?" ”
"It's obvious. Naturally, he wanted to have a good relationship with us, after all, Guo Xun had fallen. The situation is also very clear...", Peng Yue said in a low voice, but he was hesitating in his heart whether to tell Xia Yan now that Yan Song had the intention of framing him. After all, Xia Yan is more anxious now, if he tells Xia Yan at this time that Yan Song has bad intentions, it is difficult to guarantee that Xia Yan will make some irrational moves.
"I don't think what Yan Song is trying to do is that simple, right?" , Xia Yan said meaningfully, "Maybe he really wants to win you over, but for me... Not necessarily..."
"What do you mean by Lord Xia?" , Peng Yue looked at Xia Yan, but his eyes were a little distant.
"I mean... I think Yan Song has other plans...", Xia Yan said softly, but his eyes kept staring at Peng Yue, "Yan Song has made a lot of small moves in front of the emperor these days, sending green words, alchemy, although the work is not very effective, but it can also be said to be very hard, this should not only be limited to the purpose of getting closer to us." ”
"If you want to say that it is to fix your favor, I can understand it, after all, the minister has this idea in his heart, and no one is exempt from vulgarity, but...", Xia Yan pursed his lips and chuckled, "But after this happened, I have a sense of crisis, it seems that Yan Song's plan is not so simple, he covets me as the first assistant..."
"Lord Xia, you are... Where did this come from...", although Peng Yue wanted to fight with Xia Yan and deal with Yan Song together, and if Xia Yan had this sense of crisis, then his determination to get rid of Yan Song would be even stronger. But Peng Yue didn't want Xia Yan to have anything to do with Zhu Houxi's marriage and dealing with Yan Song, after all, he was also an "unwitting victim". But judging from Xia Yan's current tone, he also had a trace of suspicion about himself, indeed, this matter was too unexpected.
"This is not a tentative guess, but a conclusion that is almost certain after analysis and scrutiny...", Xia Yan spoke, and his pace slowed down, "Now putting aside Yan Song, I just want to ask you... I also know your attitude towards Yan Song, but... How could Yan Song have the idea of marrying his daughter to you? ”
"This... I can't hide it...", Peng Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled bitterly, "Didn't I ask Yan Song for opening a private mouth before?" So the relationship with Yan Song at that time... It's a little closer..."
"Oh... I understand, no wonder Xia Yan has the idea of marrying his daughter to you...", Xia Yan laughed when he said this, "Although I know your thoughts about Yan Song, others don't know, and even Yan Song doesn't know, that's why he wants to win you over, and objectively, it's a very smart way to squeeze me out and win you over." ”
"Lord Xia, the relationship between me and Yan Song is really...", Peng Yue sighed, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts Xia Yan had in his heart, "Actually, I also have the idea of asking the emperor to withdraw from the marriage, but if I find the emperor to divorce..."
"You don't need to ask the emperor to withdraw from the marriage...", Xia Yan waved his hand at Peng Yue, "If you ask the emperor to withdraw from the marriage, it will inevitably cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and suspicion, since the emperor agreed to Yan Song's proposal, there must be his considerations, so you don't have to think about shirking this matter, and besides, the emperor has already issued a will, how can it be easily withdrawn?" ”
"You don't have to worry about my thoughts and attitudes, others don't know, I don't know?" , Xia Yan smiled and patted Peng Yue's shoulder, "After so many years, how could I not believe you?" It's just a pity that Yan Song made a mistake, what is that called... I lost my wife and broke my soldiers, haha... But you got a cheap daughter-in-law, I heard that Yan Song's daughter is very beautiful! ”
"Lord Xia made fun of it...", Peng Yue smiled awkwardly, "Since Lord Xia understands Yan Song's intentions, I don't know if he has thought of a countermeasure?" ”
"What to do? Hehe... Yan Song's choice to woo you was a mistake, what other countermeasures do I need? Xia Yan said nonchalantly, "I know that Yan Song's move is just to drive a wedge between us and bring you closer at the same time, but his goal can't be achieved, why should I worry?" You won't really run to his camp just because Yan Song married one of his daughters to you, haha..."
"Lord Xia, having said that, you can't really ignore it, right?" , Peng Yue saw that Xia Yan was in a hurry, so he consciously slowed down his pace again, "You must know that Yan Song has this kind of ambition, and he has so many small actions in front of the emperor, we can't turn a blind eye..."
Regarding Xia Yan's careless attitude, Peng Yue was also a little anxious. He can't tell Xia Yan, in fact, Yan Song did get you down in history. But even if he said this to Xia Yan now, Xia Yan didn't believe it.
"Of course I won't pay attention at all...", Xia Yan paused and looked at Peng Yue, "But if you want to get rid of him, it's also difficult." His current power is not small, and his foundation is not shallow, and the emperor treats him... It's still trusting, he didn't make any big mistakes, it's okay to suppress it, but if you want to get rid of... It's not that easy..."
"Lord Xia, it's better to prevent trouble before it happens...", Peng Yue reminded with some excitement, "You must know that if you are soft-hearted today, you may leave yourself in big trouble in the future..."
"I naturally know this..."Xia Yan turned his head to look at Peng Yue, "But to be honest... For this matter, I really have more than enough heart but not enough power. The suppression is acceptable, if you want to solve the scourge in one fell swoop... It's unlikely...", Xia Yan shook his head as he said.
Peng Yue understood Xia Yan's thoughts, he didn't have a sense of crisis when dealing with Zhang Xuan, Guo Xun and others, so naturally he wouldn't put so much thought into this matter. Of course, he also saw the difficulty and complexity of this matter, Yan Song is very much in Zhu Houxi's mind now, and he didn't do anything excessive, just pointing at him for embezzlement and bribery and simmering some black money, Zhu Houxi would not treat him well. After all, in Zhu Houxi's eyes, obedience and ability are the most important.
"Lord Xia, in fact, it doesn't seem so important to deal with Yan Song...", Peng Yue frowned, and suddenly remembered something, "Actually, as long as you can keep the Holy Family alive, Yan Song will not be able to achieve his goal even if he racks his brains." ”
"This is nature...", Xia Yan flicked his sleeves, "but if you really want to keep the Holy Favor alive, it will not be an easy task..."
"This...", Peng Yue pulled Xia Yan's sleeves, his face was embarrassed, "Lord Xia, today's green leaf crown... Did you bring it? (To be continued.) )
