Chapter 289: Double Trap

Of course, Yan Song did not stop thinking at this moment of silence. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He slowly discovered one thing: Zhu Houxi is a person who misses the old and is also a person who is easy to regret. He did feel guilty about his indirect killing of Queen Fang, although he did not admit that it was Queen Fang who he indirectly killed.

But it's enough to know that he's prone to regretting the decision he's made right now. He is now an out-and-out "old man" because of his constant repentance, because of his capriciousness.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." Yan Song saw that Zhu Houxi seemed to have finished all the words in his heart, so he got down from his seat and knelt on the ground again.

"What's the matter with Yan Aiqing?" , Zhu Houxi, who had just spit out the thoughts in his heart, was in a really good mood now.

"Your Majesty, the minister just had an idea buried in his heart, but he was afraid of affecting His Majesty's mood, so he kept it silent. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible not to say it! Yan Song's words were extremely earnest, which inevitably aroused Zhu Houxi's curiosity.

"Aiqing, don't sell it, let's say it quickly." , Zhu Houxi unconsciously straightened his sitting posture and returned to his usual majestic appearance.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Empress Fang's disaster needs to be taken seriously, this is not as simple as an ordinary fire." , Yan Song raised his head and stared straight at Zhu Houxi's eyes, "The minister thinks that this fire is very strange, Ouchi has always been very vigilant, how could such a fire be born for no reason." And the place where the fire broke out this time is close to the Thunder God Altar, and the cause of the fire cannot be found out afterwards, doesn't Your Majesty think it's unusual? The so-called nameless fire will cause something famous. Therefore, the minister thought that this fire was caused by Zeng Milling's unauthorized opening of the border provocation, his intention to recover the Hetao, and the misguided plan of the country! ”

Zhu Houxi was stunned by Yan Song's words, and suddenly fell into deep thought. He became more and more superstitious about the cultivation of ghosts and gods, and he couldn't help but start to associate with all kinds of strange phenomena after the complex, most things in the world are just like this, and they can't stand scrutiny at all, if you think something is weird, then after some careful thinking, how simple it may be that there is a conspiracy.

"The matter of the complex was beneficial, and many courtiers also supported it at that time?" , Zhu Houxi said in a low voice, with obvious hesitation in his tone, because he still remembered that there were also many courtiers who opposed the repetition at that time, but they were all degraded and deposed by their own enthusiasm.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to take into account the opinions of the courtiers." , The sharp-eyed Yan Song has already seen that Zhu Houyu has wavered about the re-set, according to the close attendant secretly reported that Zhu Houyu had privately complained that the re-set cost was too much and the casualties were too serious, and now what he has to do is to strengthen Zhu Houxi's thoughts from the other side.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the complex has brought many hidden dangers, which have to be paid due attention. This time it was a fire in Ouchi, which affected Queen Fang, if there is a more tragic disaster next time, what should it be? Although the minister also cares about the gains and losses of the border pass, the minister is more concerned about the safety of His Majesty! ”

Yan Song's words were sincere, which made Zhu Houxi feel a little moved, but he ignored that Yan Song had invisibly changed the concept: in fact, the complex had nothing to do with fire, but it had become inevitable when Yan Song said it. Of course, Zhu Houxi, who was already in mood swings, didn't seem to care much about this matter.

Yan Song would not give up this opportunity, he was still babbling about his set of rhetoric that he had been preparing for a long time, and he knew that the balance in Zhu Houxi's heart was tilting towards him little by little.

Yan Song's words really spoke to Zhu Houxi's heart, as an emperor, his own safety is naturally much more important than the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of people at the border.

And in private, there are many chamberlains who have told him that the repetition has caused a lot of resentment in the court and the people, but he doesn't know that those are all people who Yan Song bought in private, he just doesn't want to think about what he doesn't know, how can those chamberlains be clear.

Yan Song can see Zhu Houxi's mind clearly, he knows that Zhu Houyu is now thinking about the old love, and Queen Fang is naturally a powerful persuasion, so he began to talk about the past relationship between Zhu Houxi and Queen Fang.

Zhu Houxi is really an "old man", and he is thoughtful, and he has been repeatedly brought into the trap by Yan Song. He remembered Queen Fang, remembered the past, and remembered the queen's sense of saving his life, but now the queen was killed by a fire, and the culprit of this fire is the "person who has recovered it"!

"Your Majesty, if you still have questions, you can go and ask Immortal Master Zhongwen, you should always believe his words, right?" Yan Song knew that with such a big decision, Zhu Houxi would not completely overturn the case because of his words, so he carried Tao Zhongwen out.

Since the last fire in the palace, Zhu Houxi has trusted Tao Zhongwen. Moreover, Tao Zhongwen once offered a lot of elixir recipes to Zhu Houxi, so that Zhu Houxi, who had no heirs, actually got a lot of dragon heirs because of taking this medicine, so Zhu Houxi was even more fond of Tao Zhongwen.

If others say that the fire in Ouchi was caused by "unauthorized provocation", Zhu Houxi still doesn't believe it. But if Tao Zhongwen said this assertion that he was both a god and a ghost, Zhu Houxi would definitely be convinced of this matter.

"I'll think about it in detail." Obviously, Zhu Houyu didn't want to show too much in front of Yan Song about his attitude towards this matter, but his wavering attitude towards this matter was what Yan Song wanted to see the most, but Zhu Houyu didn't realize this.

"Your Majesty, such a big deal... I still need to discuss it with Lord Xia Yanxia. Yan Song said slowly, "If you don't consult Lord Xia in advance about this matter, I'm afraid Lord Xia will be unhappy, after all, the matter of the complex was strongly supported by Lord Xia at the beginning..."

When Zhu Houxi heard Yan Song's words, he was naturally unhappy, but his emotions were because of Xia Yan, not because of Yan Song. Yan Song's words made Zhu Houxi invisibly feel that his power was restricted, and this is indeed the case, many decisions in the court require Xia Yan to nod and agree, if he does not ask Xia Yan in advance about this matter, Xia Yan will definitely come to him to argue.

Zhu Houxi is obsessed with cultivation on weekdays, so he naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing, because many things don't have to be nodded and agreed by Xia Yan, but he is too lazy to take care of them. But when he insisted on doing something, Xia Yan still wanted to stop it, and he still needed to ask Xia Yan's opinion, which couldn't help but make his heart angry.

"Hmm...", Zhu Houxi's face was a little gloomy, although he tried his best to control it, this emotion still made Yan Song capture, "This matter, I will ask Xia Yan..."

"Your Majesty." , A subtle smile appeared on the corner of Yan Song's mouth, because he knew that his goal had been achieved, Zhu Houxi had unknowingly fallen into the trap he had set, and Xia Yan had also fallen into the trap he had set without knowing it... (To be continued.) )
