The current form of the court, Yuan and Zhang are well aware. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But after hearing this, Yuan An still said angrily: "Cui Xu is too sophisticated." ”

"It's no wonder he does." Zhang Zeduan then said, "Your Majesty has indeed favored the King of Jin too much over the years, and this Hebei War, if it weren't for the King of Jin's efforts, it wouldn't have been able to fight." Now that the war is scorching, the imperial court is also burdened by it, and even the disaster in the south cannot be taken care of. ”

"Mr. Zhang, don't say anything about that again." After hearing this, the crown prince Chai Yu said, "Father has father's considerations, and these things are not something we can put in our mouths. ”

"It's the minister's speech." Zhang Zeduan bowed his hand and said, "Your Highness Xie reminds you that the minister will be careful in the future." ”

"Your Highness, although the words of the righteous path should not be said, they are also the truth." Yuan An got up and said, "Although Pei Gongzhishi is helpless, he broke one of His Highness's arms. And His Majesty's closeness to King Jin is also a well-known thing, and it is not okay for His Highness not to pay attention. ”

This Pei family has the merit of following the dragon, as early as when the Seven Kings seized the throne, they supported Shang Yongwang Chai Jue.

After that, the daughter of the Pei family married Chai Yu and became the princess, and gave birth to the eldest son, Chai Yu, who became the prince of the king. Later, Chai Jue became the master of Dabao and became the current majesty. And Pei and Chai Yu also ascended to heaven with the chicken dog and became the queen and prince of the Great Zhou.

Because of this kinship, the Pei family is the natural ally of the crown prince Chai Yu.

Now that Pei Jun is old, although it is customary to resign from the above table, Emperor Chai Jue intends to let Cui Xu replace him, which makes people have to think deeply. The Pei family is a surname such as Da Zhou, and the Cui family is too, the emperor promoted Cui Xu in this way, which was to set up a big enemy for the Pei family, which also hit the crown prince Chai Yu from the side.

In addition, now that the King of Jin and the princes have shown their desire to seize the heir, and the emperor has connived, this matter of Cui Xu's entry into the Chinese book is even more critical.

Above the jade steps is the supreme position, but this climbing road is like a boat against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

As the crown prince, Chai Yu has no way back.

But now that the situation in the court is so changing, he is also a little at a loss, so he said dejectedly: "I know this, but my father means this, and as a son, I can only do it." "Prince Chai Yu is a generous, benevolent and filial person, and he said this out of sincerity.

"Your Highness thinks so, and the minister can't say that it's wrong." Yuan An also got up and said, "But Your Highness must not be depressed, things can still be planned." ”

"If you have something to say, sir, please say it." After listening to this, Chai Yu said.

The minister said bluntly. Yuan An said, "Although Cui Xu is the person chosen by His Majesty, there is a great disaster under his rule right now. Although the disaster is the destiny of heaven, if it is not handled properly and there is a man-made disaster, it is a dereliction of duty, and how can a person who is derelict in his duty enter the center? ”

Chai Yu listened, frowned, thoughtful.

Zhang Zeduan, who was on the side, also got up and said, "Your Highness, what Taiping said is very true. This year's Jiangbei disaster has been decided, if there is no Jiangdong to help, Cui Xiaolin is a clever woman, and it is also difficult to do. ”

Chai Yu saw that both of them had such opinions, so he asked, "Then according to what the two gentlemen said, what should be done alone?" ”

Yuan An thought for a moment and replied: "The minister can send a letter to Zhao Longhua and ask him to leave the grain mainly in Jiangdong." Zhao Longhua in his words was originally named Zhao Xixian, the word Longhua, from Tianshui Zhao, the official residence Jiangdong was dethroned, and he was from the second grade.

Zhang Zeduan also echoed on the side: "Your Highness, Taiping's words are feasible. ”

The two of them decided on the priority, since Jiangdong is the mainstay, then the current meaning, Jiangbei can give up. Such an understatement of a few words, although it is well-founded, is a matter of seeking a family and abandoning the lives of thousands of families.

And the crown prince Chai Yu has lived in the deep palace for a long time and does not know the difficulties of the world, he saw that both of them were like this, so he nodded and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”

"This is the minister's duty, and the minister will write it when he goes back." Yuan An said.

Seeing that the letter was mentioned, Zhang Zeduan said: "Your Highness, since Taiping has come, the minister will show him the letter?" ”

Hearing this, Prince Chai Yu nodded.

witnessed, Zhang Zeduan said to Yuan An: "Brother Taiping, I just received a letter today, and it was Xiao Ziyu who replied to me. ”

Xiao Jing's letter is called a private message, but it is actually for secret communication. Yuan An was very familiar with this, and many of the letters between the prince's mansion and foreign countries were transferred in and out through his hands. When he heard this, he speculated, "But what about the disaster?" ”

"Exactly." Zhang Zeduan nodded

After Yuan An thought for a moment, he asked Chai Yu again: "Your Highness, have you ever seen it?" ”

Prince Chai Yu nodded and said, "I've seen it." ”

Seeing this, Yuan An asked for the letter.

He took out the letter and took out the letter, and after quickly browsing it, he opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Ziyu has a good means, His Royal Highness asked him to help, it seems that he has chosen the right person." Zhang Zeduan's letter to Xiao Jing was originally instructed by Chai Yu, and he was also clear.

"It's a good idea." Zhang Zeduan echoed, "However, Xiao Ziyu is only a state assassin in the end, and it is difficult for him to be able to do this step now." ”

Yuan An nodded when he heard this, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Xiao Ziyu said in the letter that a note was attached to the letter, what is written on this Chen?" ”

"It's not just a strip." Zhang Zeduan replied, "There is another article. ”

After hearing this, Yuan An asked anxiously: "Where is the article and the article, can you let Yu Yiguan?" ”

"Both of these objects are now in His Highness's study." Zhang Zeduan replied, "Brother Taiping wants to see it, so it's better to ask His Highness." ”

When Yuan An heard this, he turned to the crown prince Chai Yu.

But before he could speak, Chai Yu beckoned: "Outside, someone comes in." ”

As soon as his voice came out, Li Guotai, who was outside, hurriedly walked in: "Your Highness, the slave is here, please command." ”

Then, Chai Yu instructed: "There are two things on the bookcase in the lonely study, you let people get them quickly." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Li Guotai received the order, turned around and wanted to go out.

At this time, Yuan An and Zhang Zeduan had already sat down again. Chai Yu saw that the desk of the two of them was empty, so he said again: "Slow." ”

When Li Guotai heard this, he hurriedly stopped, turned around and walked back and asked, "Your Highness, what else do you have to order?" ”

"You've been getting more and more unruly lately." Chai Yu said in a low tone, "Two gentlemen, why don't you bring tea after coming in for so long?" ”

When a guest comes to the door, the host gives tea, which is the way of hospitality, which Li Guotai will not understand. It's just that he knows that His Royal Highness has invited these two gentlemen to come to discuss something, so he doesn't dare to disturb. At this time, seeing Chai Yu's reprimand, he didn't dare to argue, but said: "Your Highness, it was the slave maid who was negligent, and the slave maid asked the two gentlemen to bring tea." ”

Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Chai Yu was not too harsh, but just nodded slightly.

When Li Guotai saw this, he retreated again.

When he went out, Yuan An arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

After hearing this, Chai Yu just smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, there is no need for this, both of you can sit down." ”

After Yuan and Zhang listened, they sat down again.

Subsequently, the young palace people brought tea to them, and Li Guotai went to fetch the two items himself.
