Aoyama-in

Yuan Che rode a fast horse to the gate of the Qingshan Courtyard, and the guards saw the Praetorian Guards coming, and immediately sent someone to inform the war cockles, who received the notice and immediately followed, welcoming the new emperor Yuan Che into a secret hut, asking him to wait for a while, then bowed and turned around and exited the door.

Half a cup of tea, the sound of a car wheeling outside the door, followed by a push door, the wheel pressed over the threshold. Yuan Che saw that the person who came was an old man with gray hair, who should be what Yu Wenyue said in the letter before, the dead Yuwen family, the head of the family, Yu Wenzhuo.

Yuwen saw that the new emperor came to visit in person, and he felt very uneasy in his heart, could it be that something big happened, or was Yu Wenyue's death known?

Yuan Che picked up Yu Wenzhuo and looked at him, his brows, which were originally full of frowns, seemed to be tighter.

"Yuwenzhuo's legs and feet are inconvenient, please forgive the new emperor, although you can't get up and salute, but the etiquette can't be abolished, see the new emperor, long live long live long live."

"The head of the Yuwen family and I don't have to be so polite, Yuwen Yue and I are friends of life and death, and when we fight on the border together, we are like brothers. This time I came to visit, it is indeed because of the crisis in the situation in Dawei, Yuwenyue left me again, there are really not many trustworthy people around me, and there is no way to ask the head of the Yuwen family. ”

"The new emperor's words are serious, the Yuwen family has taken the protection of the Great Wei as their own responsibility for generations, and the spy paper Tianyan has served the monarchs of the Great Wei for generations. If you have anything to say, the Yuwen family will definitely do their best to share your worries and solve problems for you, and follow the work of dogs and horses. ”

"The master of the Yuwen family, presumably if you don't go out of the house, you can also know that the situation of the Great Wei is critical, although there is Dongfang Ji around me to give advice, but he is always not my Great Wei people, and now there are very few talents available in the court, and now there are internal and external troubles, people's hearts are uneasy, the treasury is empty, and natural and man-made disasters are continuous, so that I am worried, I need your support now, so that the spy paper Tianyan can be reactivated. I can't be a pawn, I just listen to what others say, I need a safe and reliable intelligence system so that I can accurately grasp the situation of the country. Yuan Che's eyes showed an earnest look, and he said strongly and firmly.

"Xindi, do you think Dongfang Ji is unreliable? Have you investigated him? ”

Yu Wenzhuo looked at the new emperor in front of him, and felt relieved that the Great Wei Emperor could wisely choose the most suitable heir before he died. At least the young man in front of him can use his brain to think, he is not blindly obedient, and he has experienced the baptism of battlefield anger, he is calm and thoughtful, and he is a good emperor seedling.

"After returning to the imperial capital, there was an order for the secret guard to investigate, but the information was very small, I only knew that he was from Daliang, a family of Daliang nobles, and there was a son-in-law, a concubine, and two concubines under his knees."

"These are all superficial, the Oriental family is a family of the ancient generation, with a rich heritage, and what you check is some of the simplest information given to you by others. This Dongfang taboo is not simple, his tactics are indeed very powerful, if he assists you to stabilize the current Great Wei, it is not impossible, but this person is very vicious, you still have to guard against him. As an emperor, you must know how to use trade-offs, you have to read this person, know what he wants, and where his weaknesses are, so that you can truly trust, otherwise you will only be restrained and used by him and become his puppet. ”

"I understand, thank you for your advice. I also ask the head of the Yuwen family to do his best to help me and guard the Great Wei Dynasty for more than 500 years. ”

"The new emperor is serious, and the Yuwen family will do their best. I'll arrange it later, and you can go back and arrange it, and the person who answers the news must be reliable, preferably your confidants. ”

"Then please, I'll go back to the palace first."

"War cricket, send the new emperor out."

"No. Your Majesty, please. ”

Zhao's Mansion Shao'an Courtyard

Zhao Xi'an returned to his Shao'an Courtyard. The scenery in Shao'an Courtyard is picturesque, rockeries and strange stones, flowers are clustered, vines and green bamboos, and the green period is pointed. At this time, Zhao Xi'an was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, calmly cooking tea by himself, the teapot on the table had just been warmed by hot water, the wisps of heat on the purple sand pot were rising upward, the warm water went down with the teapot, and fell low in the tea tray, after the heat was dissipated, Zhao Xi'an picked up two tea coasters and two cups from the teacup plate on the side, and put them on the table, picked up the purple sand pot and poured fragrant tea for himself first, tasting tea, looking at the entrance of the courtyard from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

At the time of the two teas, I saw that at the entrance of the courtyard, the guards led Dongfang Ji to come closer and came to him, Zhao Xi'an hurriedly got up and bowed to Dongfang Ji respectfully.

"Master, you are here, please take a seat and taste the fragrant tea that the student has just brewed."

Dongfang Ji walked into the pavilion, brushed his clothes and sat down, Zhao Xi'an saw Dongfang Ji sit down, turned around and picked up the teapot that had been warmed before, and poured it for Dongfang Ji.

"Master, please use it."

"Xi'an, your performance in the ruling hall today is good, and the timing of throwing bricks and stones is just right, although this Yuan Che is experienced on the battlefield, he is indeed very inexperienced in internal affairs. This time, you just use the identity he gave you, you can make good use of it and expand your contacts and influence. This Great Wei seems to be in turmoil, but there are also a lot of opportunities. ”

"The apprentice understands, thanks to Master's careful arrangement, I will make good use of the opportunity. But Master, Yuan Che doesn't seem to have absolute trust in you and me, before you came, I received a reply from the eyeliner, saying that Yuan Che rode a fast horse to Qingshan Temple, does this show that the Yuan clan still has ideas about the Yuwen family's spy paper Tianyan. ”

"It's not surprising that he has thoughts about the spy paper eye in the sky, since the Yuan clan has enabled the spy paper eye in the sky, the benefits from it are far from being something that can be replaced by a few words and a few good strategies, but now the spy paper eye is already in a state of semi-waste, even if it is activated again, it may not be of much use, let him die and die."

Hearing Dongfang Ji's answer, Zhao Xi'an's eyes flashed slightly, and this inevitable look was precipitated in his eyes.

"Master, this tea I brought back from the Nanhuai vendor, it is called Zhuye Qingshan, and it is a rare and good tea. The palate is bland and fragrant, but with a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. ”

"This tea is good, Xi'an, you have to remember that the more you are in the current situation, the more calm you must be, and the more cautious you must be."

"Master, this time the apprentice went out to run errands, does the master have anything else to order?"

"If there is anything else, you can be careful yourself, if there is anything urgent, you ask the secret guard to send a letter to tell me, we must be careful now, we must not let Yuan Che grasp the handle, but also let him trust us with confidence."

"Yes, I understand."

"Okay, it's not too early, and it's inconvenient for me to stay with you for a long time, and the news will spread for a while, and it's not very good, you pack your luggage and go, pay attention to safety on the road, and go back for the teacher."

The two people in the pavilion got up separately, Zhao Xi'an called someone to secretly send Dongfang Ji away, and he also turned around and went into the bedroom to start packing his things.

"Young master, the master sent someone to call you over." The voice of the personal guard Zhao Han sounded at the door.
