Chapter 113: No Retreat
"Your Majesty, but it's rare to sit in this Wanhua Palace! I remember the last time My Majesty came to Wanhua Palace, it should have been half a year ago when the peach blossoms first bloomed! ”
Although Wanhua Palace is still in the palace, the location is relatively remote. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Daming was not married, she would not still be able to live in the palace. Of course, as long as Princess Daming does not marry one day, according to the royal rules of Beiyue, she is still qualified to live in the palace.
Tu Lian was not surprised by Tu Yun's visit, because Tu Yun did not visit again, or insisted on sending an edict to Tu Lian to see him, which would be too disappointing for Tu Lian.
smiled modestly, but Tu Yun didn't know that the corners of his slightly drooping eyes had revealed the cunning in his heart, and he leaned back on the chair in the study and said, "Sister Lian, you are laughing with me again." It's not that I don't want to visit Sister Lian, it's that I don't know when Sister Lian is in the palace and when she isn't. ”
"It's not that I know Sister Lian's exact whereabouts, I don't want to come to Wanhua Palace every time to eat this closed door."
"Your Majesty is laughing, in this palace, who else dares to let His Majesty eat a closed door."
Tu Lian and Tu Yun had been sitting in the study for almost an hour, but they didn't talk about anything to the point, and Tu Yun didn't even mention a word about the tax-free fields.
But hearing this, Tu Lian smiled slightly, knowing that Tu Yun still cared about his whereabouts.
Of course, Tu Yun doesn't want to care. Because others may not know how powerful Tu Lian is, Tu Yun knows very well how deep his sister's background is.
Because without Tu Lian's help, Tu Yun would not have been able to sit on the throne of the North Vietnamese State at all.
Although they are sisters and brothers, Tu Lian and Tu Yun were not born to the first queen, but to the Hua Guifei who lived in Wanhua Palace. Then I don't know what means Tu Lian used, after the death of the first emperor, the edict left behind was to let Tu Yun succeed to the throne. After some competition, Tu Yun also squeezed out the original crown prince Tu Hao in one fell swoop and became the rightful emperor of Beiyue.
Others thought that this was Tu Yun's powerful means, but Tu Yun knew that he couldn't do anything when he was seriously ill at the time.
If Tu Lian was not supported behind and running in front, Tu Yun would not be able to sit on the throne of the North Vietnamese Kingdom at all. It was also from that time that Tulian began to have the habit of leaving the court for a long time.
Therefore, for his sister Tu Lian, Tu Yun has always been both respectful and awe-inspiring. Because since Tu Lian can send Tu Yun to the throne of the emperor of Beiyue in such an unfavorable situation, he also has the ability to drag Tu Yun off the throne again at any time.
Fortunately, Tu Lian is a woman, and it is impossible to compete with Tu Yun for the throne. As long as Tu Lian is not co-opted by other princes, Tu Yun will not be worried.
And with the qiē that Tu Lian has now, Tu Yun doesn't think that any prince is likely to pull her away from him.
Just thinking of Tu Lian's role in the tax-free field, Tu Yun still couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Lian, the Yi Huan you put in Xingcheng County this time is really interesting!" I didn't expect him to come up with the brilliant idea of opening more tax-free fields. ”
"Your Majesty smiled."
"At the beginning, Sister Chen was just pity for the old bastard's poetry, seeing that he was still participating in the scientific examination at such an old age, so she casually threw a petty official for him to do, so as not to come out again and be embarrassed, and it was estimated that he would end up being a magistrate in his life. I never thought that he would be so capable of tossing things. Knowing this, Sister Chen would not be nosy. ”
Knowing that it is useless to cover it up, or rather, no one will push the current Yi Ying out, Tu Lian admitted calmly.
Tu Yun originally planned to test it with the sentence "Let him go", but Tu Lian had already admitted that Yi Huan was the man she had arranged, and it would be a bit of a trick to say this, so she said: "Sister Lian, in this case, why does Sister Lian still let Yi Ying mention any tax-free land?" ”
"Does Your Majesty think that your country is sitting firmly now?"
Who dares to question the emperor in person, I don't know what Tu Lian means, Tu Yun's face sank slightly.
Although noticing Tu Yun's face, Tu Lian did not flinch, and even asked: "To be honest, you are not allowed to retreat!" ”
Honestly? No back-down.
Under Tu Lian's questioning, Tu Yun's chest swayed slightly, and he couldn't help but remember that this was exactly what Tu Lian had questioned himself before deciding to push himself to the throne. Because if he didn't want to take the throne, the two of them would only be expelled from the palace in the end, and they would be foreign kings like King Tulang.
Don't look at King Jun's strong soldiers now, if you talk about Qinzhou at the beginning, it is thousands of miles away.
Knowing what Tu Lian might have discovered, Tu Yun's expression froze slightly, nodded and said, "What Sister Lian said is that no matter whether there is a tax-free field or not, my country is becoming more and more unstable now. ”
"Does His Majesty know why King Jun and King Yu dare to fight His Majesty's idea of the throne?" Seeing that Tu Yun had fallen into her own pace, Tu Lian sighed in her heart, but her face was still solemn.
"Because, because...... I have no children. ”
With a look of shame on his face, Tu Yun also knew that it was pointless for him to hide it here.
"It's good if Your Majesty knows, but whether Your Majesty knows it or not, whether you work hard or not, some things can never be changed." With a sigh, Tu Lian looked out the window and said, "That is the case, not only for myself, but also for the North Yue Kingdom, what does Your Majesty think is your biggest responsibility now?" ”
"The biggest responsibility? Could it be that Sister Lian wants me to determine the heir now? ”
When he said this, Tu Yun felt a little uncomfortable. Because although Tu Yun's body is not as good as in previous years, he does not think that he is really to the point of thinking about the future.
But when he thought that he had no children so far, Tu Yun wanted to know what Tu Lian's plans were.
Tu Lian said with a firm expression: "It's not to determine the heir, but to let them compete for the inheritance qualifications." In their internal friction, I am afraid that His Majesty can still fight for himself for a while longer, and think and plan more for the future, otherwise, our brothers and sisters are in danger. ”
"What does Sister Lian think I should do?"
From Tu Lian's eyes, Tu Yun seemed to have returned to the days when he decided to compete for the throne, not only did he feel a little emotional.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Tu Lian's eyes and said: "If they are willing to compete within the scope specified by His Majesty, His Majesty can turn a blind eye to them and close one eye, and also buy himself some more time." But if they show their disobedience to His Majesty because of this, this tax-free field is their talisman, and it is also the fastest knife in His Majesty's hand. ”
I didn't expect this to be what Tu Lian really wanted to say, and I didn't expect this to be the real intention of Tu Lian to let Yi Huan launch the tax-free field. In shock, Tu Yun also fell into deep thought.
Of course, if Yi Huan heard Tu Lian's words at this time, I am afraid that she would immediately jump out of Bai Huahua's arms.
Because Tu Lian simply took Yi Huan's "initiative" into his arms, and even completely wiped out Yi Huan's efforts.
But using and being used is the essence of officialdom in the first place, and it just means that while you use others, you have to be used by others to what extent, and how to be used.
At the same time, seeing that Tu Yun had begun to gradually accept his own point of view, a strange brilliance suddenly flashed in Tu Lian's eyes. It's just that this brilliance didn't last long, and even the wind chimes outside the window didn't subside from the last shaking and passed away completely.
didn't notice this brilliance, Tu Yun was still thinking about it.
