Chapter 81: Firm Direction

"Dad, I didn't expect you to get the thing done just a few days after you talked to Tao Zhongwen. www.biquge.info"Yan Shifan picked up the fruit on the plate to eat, looked at Yan Song and asked, but it didn't seem to care much about this matter.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to do it so quickly..."Yan Song didn't look very happy, "Originally, I thought that after talking to Tao Zhongwen, it would take a while to do it, but I didn't expect Peng Yue's movements to be so fast." ”

"Huh?" , Yan Shifan threw a fruit into his mouth, "Isn't this what Tao Zhongwen said to the emperor?" What's the matter with him Peng Yue? ”

"Of course it's his business, if it weren't for Peng Yue and a group of them, how could this matter be so easy to complete, do you think he Tao Zhongwen is so powerful?" Yan Song glanced at Yan Shifan and said slowly.

"Oh, I really don't know about this, I thought that Tao Zhongwen pretended to calculate a hexagram, and then said that it was the will of God, then the emperor naturally agreed, hehe..." Yan Shifan wiped the juice that overflowed to his mouth, not caring at all about the white eyes that Yan Song threw over.

"How can it be so simple, if this is the case, then wouldn't it be all he Tao Zhongwen who has the final say in everything in the court, what else do we do?" Yan Song pouted, "Actually, it is not easy for Tao Zhongwen to be in front of the emperor, only when the emperor asks him, he can talk about his thoughts, and he must be cautious in his words, figure out the emperor's thoughts, do you think the phrase "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger" is a joke?" , If Tao Zhongwen really doesn't know how to converge, it is estimated that he will become the second Duan Dynasty. The apprentices taught by Shao Yuanjie are all very smart, and they will not just learn to cultivate and refine the Dao, but the "emperor's mind" is the most important lesson they should cultivate. ”

"Then it seems that he Tao Zhongwen is also very good at doing things, we have accepted a big favor from him this time..."Yan Shifan wiped his hands, "Peng Yue must thank us well, otherwise this transaction will be a big loss." ”

"He Peng Yue himself also contributed a lot, he saw the opportunity to play, found momentum, and did it all in one go, but in the end, he still lost the words that Tao Zhongwen said when the emperor asked Tao Zhongwen for advice, so Peng Yue should really thank us this time."

"What did Tao Zhongwen say, it was so effective?" Yan Shifan asked with a smile on the side.

"I don't know...," Yan Song shook his head, "Actually, there's no need to know what Tao Zhongwen said, just rush at his improvisation cleverness, and you can deduce that those few words must have spoken to the emperor's heart." I still remember the last time the palace fire, Tao Zhongwen was also slightly injured, but he said that it was the result of praying for the emperor and transferring some of the disasters suffered by the emperor to himself. ”

"And Tao Zhongwen also caught up with the good time this time, it just so happened that he did something that made the emperor very happy, so this time his words were so effective..."Yan Song smiled a little regretfully, "Otherwise, I still want to delay this matter..."

"Oh? I don't know what he did to make the emperor happy? ”

"He presented a kind of soup to the emperor, called "Guben Jingyuan Soup", and the emperor was very happy and satisfied after taking it, so this time things went a little smoother..."

"Oh? Solid essence soup? What kind of soup is this? Yan Shifan said, and suddenly a lewd smile appeared on his face, "Is it the kind of soup that can enhance physical strength after drinking, and there are many women in the night, I heard that recently the palace has recruited a lot of virgins from the people for the emperor's cultivation, Dad, why don't you ask Tao Zhongwen for a prescription?" ”

"Nonsense, you are not allowed to talk about royal affairs, be careful of your mouth!" Yan Song glared at Yan Shifan fiercely, "Also, Tao Zhong's literature prescription is not allowed to talk nonsense to me everywhere, this is all a royal secret!" ”

"Okay, yes, Dad, I wrote it down..."Yan Shifan saw that Yan Song was really angry, and hurriedly bowed his head and let it be wrong.

"Dad, according to what you said, Tao Zhongwen's move this time is for your sake, otherwise Tao Zhongwen really doesn't need to take this risk, after all, this matter is not good for him, what did you tell him?" Yan Shifan wanted to bypass the incident just now at this time, so he quickly changed the topic.

"That's right, Tao Zhongwen knows that the emperor doesn't want him to meddle in the affairs of the court, so he is very cautious on weekdays and never says much, but if you say that he has no benefit in this matter, then you are wrong..."

"Oh? What benefits can Tao Zhongwen get in this matter? ”

"Actually, strictly speaking, it's not a good thing, but I used this to persuade him..."Yan Song's tone became deep at this time.

"Dad, don't sell it to me, tell me what you told Tao Zhongwen quickly." Yan Shifan leaned forward curiously.

"Actually, there is one thing in this, almost no one knows, but this matter is a pimple in Tao Zhongwen's heart, he mentioned two sentences to me at the beginning, I wrote it down, but I didn't expect it to play a big role today..."Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan with a smile, as if he was very proud, "Do you remember the last time Xia Yan privately united with the ministers to report Duan Chaoyong?" It was because of this incident that Tao Zhongwen was very jealous of Xia Yan in private, because Duan Chaoyong was the person recommended by Tao Zhongwen, Xia Yan's move almost affected Tao Zhongwen, but fortunately, Tao Zhongwen stood up at the critical moment and accused Duan Chaoyong, and used metaphysics to exonerate himself, so he escaped, but the hatred of Xia Yan in his heart could not be removed. ”

"Oh? At that time, there were rumors that it was because Tao Zhongwen and Duan Chaoyong had a private discord, so Tao Zhongwen stood up and accused Duan Chaoyong? ”

"This rumor was released by Tao Zhongwen, in fact, I also contributed to the spread of this rumor at that time." Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan's puzzled eyes and slowly explained, "The emperor is most afraid of being deceived, but he sees the whole thing of the courtiers' fight very openly, he knows that this is inevitable, and the emperor also takes advantage of this, he can use whoever he wants, and he can use whoever he needs, so that the courtiers will know to be obedient, this is the "emperor's technique", oh... I seem to be biased, Tao Zhongwen saw the emperor's thoughts, so he spread the news of his discord with Duan Chaoyong to make the emperor believe that he had nothing to do with Duan Chaoyong and did not unite to deceive him, so as to avoid his own trouble, how about it, Tao Zhongwen's mind is careful enough, right? ”

"Tao Zhongwen is really not simple, it seems that you really have to be careful of this person in the future." Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song, and there were still some doubts in his eyes, "But what does this have to do with opening a private mouth?" ”

"Of course it matters, because I told Tao Zhongwen that this move was to win over Peng Yue, Tao Zhongwen also knew the importance of Peng Yue, he was usually in front of the emperor, and he knew very well what the emperor thought of the ministers, so he also persuaded me to bring Peng Yue over, and..."Yan Song smiled and narrowed his eyes, "And I also said that I would use this opportunity to create a conflict between Peng Yue and Xia Yan, so that Xia Yan would have one less big helper, and it would naturally be much easier to deal with..."

"Oh... It turns out that this is the case, it is really a good calculation..."Yan Shifan nodded, and said with a smile, "It's not good for him Xia Yan to offend anyone, but he wants to offend Tao Zhongwen, it seems that Xia Yan deserves to be unlucky this time..."

"But, Dad, how can you be sure that there will be a gap between Peng Yue and Xia Yan? I think the relationship between the two seems to be unbreakable now, right? Yan Shifan asked Yan Song, and he also pinched his chin on the side and thought about it.

"Unbreakable is very easy to break..."Yan Song pretended to smile mysteriously, "Since you all know that the relationship between the two seems to be unbreakable, can the emperor not know?" Now the two of them haven't done anything that makes the emperor jealous, but if they do something that makes the emperor unhappy one day, then the emperor won't be able to tolerate them, are you right? ”

"Oh... You mean to use the emperor to break up their alliance! Yan Shifan said excitedly.

"What is the use of the emperor! No nonsense! Yan Song glared at Yan Shifan fiercely, "Now this is just an immature idea, it is still relatively difficult to implement, and the timing is not right now, the emperor is still very fond of Xia Yan, so we must be patient." Of course, we also have to leave enough time for Xia Yan to fight Guo Xun, now that the matter of private talk is solved, Xia Yan should do his best to solve Guo Xun, let Xia Yan clean up Guo Xun for us first. ”

"Dad, do you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"

"It's not about sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, but about reaping the benefits of the fisherman." Yan Song said with a smile, "The snipe and the clam are fighting, although there will be one left, but that person will not last long." Xia Yan and Guo Xun poured into each other, even if Xia Yan won Guo Xun, but in this process, the emperor's trust and dependence on Xia Yan will gradually weaken, courtiers will tie each other, slander each other, and even life style problems can be taken out to talk about things, do you say that the emperor's impression of Xia Yan can still be good? After all, his Xia Yan's power is not much stronger than Guo Xun, and the two can't get along. ”

"Dad, great, I hope Guo Xun and Xia Yan can quickly decide a winner, so that we can save a lot of effort."

"They have their business, and we can't be idle." Yan Song's expression became serious at this time, "First of all, we also have to find our own position in the emperor, now many of the so-called capable ministers in the court are his Xia Yan's people, and we can't compare to him in terms of political achievements, but we can be more obedient and diligent, in short, we want to leave a good impression on the emperor." Doesn't the emperor like to cultivate, then we will do what he likes, send more green words to the emperor, Fan'er, don't be idle, you write with your father, I don't believe that I can't write green words that can satisfy the emperor, usually figure out the emperor's intentions, do more things to make the emperor happy, these small things are done well, and one day it will be of great use. ”

"Yes, since the emperor also relies more on his father now, we must seize this opportunity and resolutely not do anything that will make the emperor unhappy." Yan Shifan's expression on the side also became serious, "Dad, are you still satisfied with the few Qingci that I wrote last time?" ”

"Well, the emperor was very satisfied with the few green words you wrote last time, Fan'er, you just continue to write, just by virtue of the green words, my father can also straighten up in the emperor." Yan Song raised his head and blinked, "And Peng Yue, we must take this opportunity to win him over, so that we will not accept Tao Zhongwen's favor in vain, and it will also help break up the relationship between him and Xia Yan, in short, Peng Yue is of great use, we must pull him into our camp, with his help, it will save a lot of trouble in the future." ”

"Well, Daddy is right, but it is also a trouble to win over Peng Yue, if you really want to draw him directly to our side in the short term, I'm afraid you can only go through Mengyun girl."

"By the way, I didn't ask Mengyun recently, what does he think of Peng Yue, did she tell you?" Yan Song paused, looked at Yan Shifan and asked.

"I asked her, but she couldn't say anything... There is no need to ask her about this matter, what idea can she have, who do you ask her to marry, will she not marry? Yan Shifan said slightly teasing on the side.

"That's what I said, but after all, it's Mengyun's lifelong event, and I can't be sloppy." Yan Song sighed as he spoke, "I just want to ask her what she really means because I know that Mengyun is weak, because I know that even if she doesn't want to, I'm afraid she won't say it, it's all your mother, and it's stupid to let her read every day, and she has no idea when she encounters this matter." ”

"Daddy doesn't have to worry about this, I think Sister Mengyun still has a good impression of Peng Yue, recently she always mentions Peng Yue intentionally or unintentionally in her words, but when I asked her carefully, she blushed and didn't say anything, I think she must have moved her mind. How could this be? ”

"Really?" Yan Song's face was a little surprised at this time, "That's good, that's good, I'm still worried about wronging Mengyun, as long as she is willing." ”

"But guess what Mengyun said to me that day?" Yan Shifan couldn't hold back a little laughter, "She said that Peng Yue is quite literary and writes good poetry, I am... Haha..."

"What, doesn't Mengyun know that when Peng Yue first started, he had to find someone else to polish his work? He also writes good poetry, it's really ridiculous, it seems that Peng Yue's kung fu is not bad, haha..."
