Chapter 10 The Great Talents of the World
He personally named Xiao Tingyan, who was only six years old at the time, as the king of the banquet, and gave him 100,000 troops to take charge of the southern prince's northern territory beyond the emperor.
These 100,000 soldiers do not belong to the emperor, but only recognize the king of the banquet as the master, it can be said that this is the bargaining chip and trump card left by the emperor to the king of the banquet to protect his life.
After so many years, no one knows what kind of terrifying force the 100,000 soldiers have developed.
Therefore, today's saints are very jealous of his younger brother. Every year, he would find various reasons to recall King Yan from the northern land and let him stay in Kyoto for a few months.
The emperor's holy decree had to be obeyed by King Yan, so every time he returned to Beijing, he experienced the test of life and death.
Unexpectedly, this time the king of banquet did not resist, was betrayed by the people around him, and died of poison in his body. After the death of King Yan, the 100,000 soldiers were withdrawn by the emperor the next day, and since then, no king has been stationed in the south and north.
Later, Yun Luan inadvertently learned the truth about the death of King Yan from Xiao Xuanrui. The person who poisoned the king of the banquet was his henchman maid, this servant girl followed the king of the banquet for more than ten years, and for more than ten years, this servant girl blocked the sword for the king of the banquet several times to risk herself, so she gradually let the king of the banquet let down his guard against her.
Therefore, when the king of the banquet completely trusts her, it is also the death of the king of the banquet. That handmaid is Xiao Xuanrui's person.
The death of King Yan is one of Xiao Xuanrui's plans, and it is also the most important trump card for him to sit on the throne of the prince.
Yun Luan did not have any contact with the banquet king, and once there was a palace banquet, she had only seen it once from afar. At that time, he was wearing a moon-white robe, his face was haggard and pale, and at first glance, he looked like a terminally ill short-lived person.
Although King Yan's face was haggard, he still couldn't hide his stunning appearance. Everyone sighed with emotion, King Yan gave birth to a peerless appearance that was shocking to heaven, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the first beauty of the Southern Prince.
If he hadn't been sick and sick, I don't know how many women in Kyoto would have thought about marrying him.
Unfortunately, he was not in good health, had a serious disease, and died soon. No one wants to be widowed, so King Yan is now twenty-six years old, and there are no wives and concubines in the palace.
The emperor was lenient and affectionate to him on the surface, but many people knew behind his back that the emperor was jealous of the 100,000 troops in his hands and wished that he would die early.
Therefore, this banquet king looks at the scenery on the surface, but secretly does not know how many crises are hidden. This noble girl in Kyoto City, no matter how infatuated with his appearance, it is impossible for the family to marry their daughter to the king of Yan.
The reason why Yun Luan attaches great importance to this matter is that she takes a fancy to the 100,000 soldiers in the hands of King Yan. If she can help King Yan in secret, she can also use the power of King Yan to fight against Xiao Xuanrui in the future.
Xiao Xuanrui's ability is too strong, and when he was more than ten years old, Zhao Guifei used his mother's family to plan for him to fight for the forces of the previous dynasty.
Now, for decades, the court has been full of Xiao Xuanrui's forces. In the past few years, Xiao Xuanrui has gathered countless courtiers, and almost half of the courtiers of Nanchu have been pocketed by him.
coupled with the emperor's pampering of him, this further contributed to the stability of his power. Such a person, with the strength of the Yun family alone, was not enough to shake him.
If she can win over the Banquet King Alliance, she will not be so passive in many things with help. Yun Luan stood up, her eyes flashing with scorching fire.
It's noon now, and there are at least a few hours left before the king of the banquet is poisoned. If she had informed the king of the banquet in advance, would the king of the banquet have been able to avoid this catastrophe and escape death?
As long as King Yan doesn't die, then she can have a powerful helper. The more Yun Luan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible.
She hurried towards the desk, just about to polish the letter. Ruchun entered with a decoction.
"Miss, you are still sick, why don't you lie there and rest? You hurry up and drink the medicine, drink the medicine Miss and sleep again, sweating, and the wind and cold are almost cured. ”
"I prepared a lot of sweet dates for Miss, Miss don't be afraid of bitter ......" Yun Luan's mind was not here at all, she didn't wait for Ruchun to finish speaking, when she picked up the decoction and drank it all.
It was as fast as drinking water, without blinking. Ruchun was almost surprised, when did the young lady drink the medicine so refreshingly?
She hurriedly handed the sweet jujube to Yun Luan: "Miss, this medicine is very bitter, you hurry up and moisten it with a sweet jujube...... "In the past, Yun Luan had to have these things ready when he drank medicine.
If you take a sip of medicine, you have to contain a sweet jujube, otherwise Yun Luan can't drink this medicine in one gulp, and she is so squeamish.
If it weren't for her squeamishness, with Yun Luan's talent, her martial arts attainments would have surpassed that of the third sister Yun Tian.
It's a pity that she is lazy, she doesn't want to suffer and suffer, she gives up halfway to learn anything, and she is unwilling to persevere.
So this has created her appearance of not being able to do anything. Yun Luan pushed away the sweet dates handed over by Ruchun, and she handed her the empty bowl.
"I don't need that thing right now...... Take it. I'm busy, you can step down......" Yun Luan didn't have time to pay attention to Ruchun's surprise, in the three years of her previous life, she had experienced too many miserable things.
She has long been numb to these things, what is the bitterness of the decoction? The loss of loved ones is the most miserable thing in the world.
She took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then continued to pick up the brush and write. Time was pressing, and she had to be fast.
After only half a cup of tea, she wrote a letter. After sealing the envelope, she hurriedly ran out and asked Ruchun to find her second brother Yunfeng.
Yun Feng's light skills are good, and his light skills in Nanchu are almost among the best. Therefore, this letter must be delivered by Yun Feng.
The Yun family and the king of the banquet have nothing to do with each other, if you want to send this letter to the king of the banquet successfully, only Yun Feng performs light skills, secretly enters the palace of the king of the banquet, and presents the letter to the king of the banquet.
As for whether King Yan believes it or not, the content of this letter can give him a clear answer. In his previous life, Yun Luan had a fairly thorough understanding of this matter through Xiao Xuanrui, including the servant girl who poisoned the banquet king.
Soon after King Yan's death, she also saw this woman in the palace of King Rui. At that time, that woman had already become a member of King Rui's backyard.
Nothing is groundless, according to the caution of the banquet king, Yun Luan is sure that nine times out of ten, the banquet king will be on guard against the servant girl tree when he sees this letter.
No matter who you are in this world, you should rather believe in it than believe in it. As the royal heir, he must know this truth better.
Yun Feng arrived quickly, he thought something had happened to Xiao Si, and when he ran over, he was sweating profusely and his forehead was a layer of sweat.
Yun Luan hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Yun Feng rarely enjoyed such gentle treatment from Xiao Si, and his face couldn't help but flush slightly.
