"Are you sure Xiao Yu'an will go to support the Eastern Border?"

Xiao Ye looked at the man in front of him who was not in a hurry to make tea, and became more and more curious about him, "Why are you so sure." ”

Xiao Ye put the brewed tea in front of him and said respectfully: "Not sure, it's just that Xiao Shizi is a person, you know better than me, it is impossible for him to give up the eastern realm, he is a benevolent person."

Xiao Ye picked up the tea in front of him and asked casually, "Then what if he doesn't go to the Eastern Border?" ”

"Isn't that what your majesty would like you to see?" Su Li was still calm, kneeling on the couch, looking at him without squinting, "Xiao Shizi's biggest bargaining chip is the Northern Army, but the Northern Territory is located in the lifeblood of the Yan Kingdom, it is impossible for the King of the Northern Territory to send all the soldiers to him, Your Majesty has more soldiers and horses than him, and Kyoto is now Your Majesty's territory, he has no divine calculation." ”

"In this way, in order to gather enough people, he will not go to the eastern border to volunteer, Your Majesty's biggest threat, the people's heart! There is nothing to be afraid of, Xiao Shizi lost the hearts of the people, and his team collapsed. ”

"Of course, if he still thinks about the soldiers in the east, he will send troops to help, so that his men and horses will be even more invincible to Your Majesty, even if he has Her Royal Highness the Princess by his side, what is Your Majesty afraid of?"

In just a few words, all the pros and cons were analyzed, Xiao Ye couldn't find anything wrong for a while, looked at Xiao Yu'an with a cold face, and laughed twice, "It is worthy of being a famous talent in Kyoto, sometimes, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too smart, Mr. Su, you say yes?" ”

"I don't know when it will be calculated on my head, I am afraid that my throne will not be guaranteed."

Su Li buried his head, "The emperor is joking, Su is just trying to survive." ”

"Live?"

Su Li kowtowed and knelt on the ground, his posture becoming more and more humble, "As Your Majesty said, sometimes if you are too smart, you will be jealous. ”

The more Xiao Ye values him, the more people will find jealousy, the strategists in his hands, his subordinates, deputy generals, military attachés, which are not jealous of him, once he is out of Xiao Ye's protection, there will be no scum left of them in an instant.

These Xiao Ye are all Xiao Ye's indulgence of the oppression of his subordinates, the purpose is to prevent Su Li from escaping his control, Su Li is a smart and dangerous person, if he can't take it for himself, then he can only lock him around, so that he has no chance to become his enemy.

The more humble his attitude was, the more reassuring Xiao Ye became, he pretended to be a benevolent gentleman and helped him up, "What did Mr. say, Mr. is so smart, it is inevitable that people will be hated, Mr. is generous, you shouldn't worry about them, as long as Mr. doesn't fork the road, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life." ”

"Su thanked Your Majesty."

The figure with him disappeared in the attic, Su Li slowly straightened up, Su Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and couldn't help complaining, "What does Old Man Xiao mean?" Specially here to make people kneel!"

Su Li smiled self-deprecatingly and rubbed his knees, "He's still here."

It's beating me, and he's still doubting my identity. ”

"What's so suspicious about that? It's all true. ”

"It's just too true, there is no flaw at all, so it will make him feel guilty."

Su Qi was stunned by what he said, "This is really wrong, I would have known that I wouldn't bother to do these things so much, and I was still remembered by others." ”

"No problem." Su Li looked at him with a remorseful expression, and his mood relaxed a lot.

Xiao Ye's life experience found out was indeed true, but it was not him, thinking of this, his eyes sank two points again.

Su Qi brought the soup woman and put it on his knee to warm him, observed his emotions, found that he relaxed a lot, and hesitated to speak, "Son, the Xiao family was destroyed ...... the door"

"The destruction of the Xiao family is a means used by Xiao Ye to remind Xiao Yu'an, he is forcing him to make a choice, and he is also breaking through Xiao Yu'an's mental defense, if Xiao Yu'an can't bear it, it is not impossible to collapse."

"On the other hand, it is to beat those families, the family is already dissatisfied with Xiao Ye's superiority, the relationship between the family is complicated, Xiao Ye has no effort to deal with the family now, so he used the matter of Xiao Houfu to beat them, so that the family is dissatisfied in their hearts, and they dare not act rashly."

"Xiao Ye's move is to directly give up the people's will."

Such a king will only be a faint king in the future, who does not know the suffering of the people, and does not listen to the truth of the people, and cannot be entrusted.

Su Qi saw that his face was gloomy and the green muscles on his hands were violent, so he knew that he was in a bad mood now, so he changed the topic, "Just now Gongzi said that Xiao Ye came to beat Gongzi today, why?" ”

Don't look at Su Qi who looks like a weak scholar, he doesn't like to read the most, and he is also stupid and naïve, and he can't understand what others mean at all.

Su Li sighed, as if he was a little helpless, "Beat me, now he is my only guard of honor, if I dare to betray him and calculate him, these people who hate me in Kyoto will want my life at any time." ”

"Shh Su Qi rolled his eyes and said with a pout: "It's not all for him to offend those people, those people can't think of a way themselves, why blame you!"

As he spoke, he looked Su Li up and down again, quite helpless, "It's not that Su is rude, just your brain, there are not one or two people who offend." ”

Su Li listened, lowered his head and coughed violently, glaring at him, is this a praise or a curse, what a fool!

But Su Qi didn't know it, facing his handsome face, he looked old, "But your body, tsk, I guess they ......"

Su Li didn't want to listen to the next words, so he drove him out, and he lay on the couch, tired and angry.

His body is not good, he squinted and was groggy, but his thoughts drifted to the snowy north.

The cold in the north is the kind of pain that scrapes people's skin, blowing on the face, like someone else slapping the big ear, and the whole cheek is also red.

Yiren buried his whole head in his hat, his neck shrunk in his cloak, and took Seventeen's hand and walked forward with difficulty, "What are you bringing me here for the night?" ”

After she drank the warm tea, she was about to fall asleep, but Seventeen suddenly jumped in the window, put the cloak on her and took her out, and led her up the hill without saying anything.

In the dark sky, she didn't hold the lamp, nor did she hold an umbrella, she took her hand and climbed up, Yi's body was just right, and when she walked down, she was already sweating lightly, and when she stopped, she put her hands on her knees and panted rapidly.

"What the hell are you doing, if you can't tell you why, I'll spare ......."

"I'm sorry, I asked him to bring you here."

Yiren took a breath, raised his head suddenly, and before he saw Xiao Yu'an standing in the moonlight in a jade blue robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a gentle smile, she was a little sluggish for a while, "Xiao, Brother Xiao?" ”

Xiao Yu'an raised the wine in his hand, "I haven't drunk together for a long time, so I asked Seventeen to bring you tonight, is it okay?" ”

"Yes, you can." Yiren stammered, and before she could react to what the situation was, she agreed first, and by the time she reacted, she had already walked in front of Seventeen.

Seventeen spread the robe he had taken off on the ground and pulled her to sit down, and Xiao Yu'an immediately sat on her left and handed her the wine jug in his hand.

She was a little thirsty, so she picked it up and took two sips of it, and was caught off guard by the wine.

Seventeen hurriedly stroked her back, dodged the wine jug in her hand, and tasted it, "Burn the knife?" ”

Yiren didn't know why, but he saw Xiao Yu'an smile, took the wine in his hand, raised his head and took a big sip, "You're right, this kind of place has a taste for this kind of spirit." ”

Seventeen laughed and snatched it, for fear that he would take an extra sip, "That's, don't look at him cheap, but only it is the strongest and the most bloody of all wines." ”

They discussed the pot of wine with a word, and when they handed it back and forth, they couldn't reach Yiren's hand, so she held her chin and looked up at the stars.

"Huh!"

There was a sudden sigh around him, Yiren turned his head, and saw Xiao Yu'an also looking up at the sky, something flashing in his eyes, "It's been a long time since I've chatted and drank with you like this, have fun." ”

Yiren was stunned, and Seventeen, who was laughing beside him, also settled down, and Yiren knew that he was homesick.

The leaves are flying, everything in the palace is calm, and the emperor who thinks about the people has since fallen, half a lifetime of hard work, and a few strokes end in the history books that no one reads.

Xiao Yuanqing knelt in front of the window, looking at the moonlight outside the window, the moon was full, and he was wearing a dragon robe, planning a unique plan.

Ye Feng surrounded the palace, the news could not be transmitted, Xiao Ye and Gao Qing didn't know what was going on in the palace, they listened to their father's words, and led people to control the prince's mansion in advance, creating the illusion that the prince was rebelling.

There was no signal in the palace for a long time, and I only saw someone leading troops into the palace, and they did not dare to do anything outside in ambush.

The prince's mansion was in chaos, the crown princess Gao Ling was in control of the overall situation, seeing that the side concubine was bleeding profusely, and a basin of hot water stained with red blood was sent out, giving people a nervous feeling, Xiao Yu'an held the princess's hand nervously, although he didn't understand, but he also knew that the atmosphere was solemn, standing quietly aside with a wrinkled face, and comforting his mother.

Gao Ling knew that there were people outside who coveted the Prince's Mansion, and she also knew that this was her mother's family, but it was ridiculous that as her mother's family, she was calculating him all her life, and she was trying to calculate her son.

She listened to the cry of despair inside, and two tears crossed her, "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?" ”

Before the next person arrived, a long bell rang from the direction of the palace, Gao Ling staggered, looking at the direction of the palace in a daze, and everyone also looked in that direction, and they all knelt down, only Gao Ling and Xiao Yu'an were still standing.

"It's out, it's out! The side concubine is born!"

At the same time, a fire appeared in the sky, and Xiao Ye saw the signal and took the lead in leading people to surround the prince's mansion.

There was silence in the room, there was no sound of newborn babies crying, only whimpering cries, Gao Ling led Xiao Yu'an to the door, looking at the lifeless baby in the arms of the midwife, and finally did not stand firmly.

"How so?"

The royal heirs of the past dynasties are thin, and only the queen Gao can feast, so Concubine De, the child, has been carefully taken care of since she was conceived, and her three meals a day are personally watched by her, but she still hasn't kept it.

The soothing incense she ordered was refined by the masters, and the fetus was suffocated in the womb, Gao Ling watched all this helplessly, crying silently, why is this still the case?

In order to control the court and prevent the prince from distracting his power, the hundred officials murdered His Majesty's heirs, and the heirs of the emperors of all dynasties were strangled by the hundred officials with various accidents before they were born, only the Gao family has one line, in order to stabilize the position, all the time, the prince is from the Gao family, which is the tacit contract of the Xiao and Gao families.

In order to protect this child, Gao Ling, Concubine De spent almost all her efforts, but now she still hasn't kept it.

Xiao Ye has already surrounded the courtyard with people, in order to save a face for Gaoling, they did not lead the troops to break through, the bell rang from the palace, Emperor Xiaoxuan died, if King Rui succeeded, they would not release the signal, it can only mean that their plan failed, Xiao Ye planned to hold the prince's mansion hostage and Xiao Yuanqing to negotiate conditions, as long as they take Xiao Yuanqing in the first step, it is only a matter of time before he is overthrown.

Xiao Ye and Gao Qing understood this in their hearts, Xiao Yuanqing also understood, Gao Ling understood, and Concubine De also understood.

Concubine De was born extremely beautiful, is a famous beauty in Kyoto, cold temperament, once married into the prince's mansion, became the canary in the prince's mansion, but the heart is ambitious, I hope that all women in the world are equal, can enter the subject examination, can also participate in politics and enter the office, is a strange woman in the mouth.

Gao Ling is just a competent crown princess, she doesn't love Xiao Yuanqing, but she knows that she has to help him succeed, she has been taught by her aunt since she was a child, and she knows what her family is doing, she looked at the woman lying in the room, and felt a sense of guilt and powerlessness, he didn't know how to face her.

"Crown Princess, please come in, Chang'er has something to say to you."

A weak voice came from within, and Gao Ling stepped in with heavy steps.

She stood at the head of her bed, looking at this beautiful fragile woman, and wept silently.

Li Chang's eyes were blank, his eyes stared straight at the roof, and he said coldly: "If Niangniang feels ashamed, please remember my appearance."

She turned her head and smiled weakly, "The prince and the prince's mansion are still waiting for you." ”

Gao Ling didn't know how she had the courage to come out, she held a sword in her hand, and led people to confront Xiao Ye in front of the courtyard, "Say it again, let my people out." ”

"Crown princess, why are you stubborn, that child can't live, and the elixir can't save him when it comes."

The moon buds have already revealed their figures, and the moon is full of fullness, like the moonlit night twenty years ago.

The cold wind blew the corners of their clothes, Yiren's drooping eyelashes hid her emotions, Xiao Yu'an looked up at the full moon, still lonely.

Ye Feng's hoarse voice rose and fell in the night, tugging at their heartstrings, "Later, ......"

They all knew what happened later, and the people of the prince's mansion died one after another that night, and the queen mother lived far away in Foju Mountain before she ascended the throne, and Li Chang was sealed after her death and buried in the palace gate.

And Xiao Yuanqing, who is more patient than anyone else, has been dormant for twenty years for today's situation.

Ye Feng's wife died tragically in the Prince's Mansion and was buried in the fire, Xiao Yuanqing blamed Ye Feng for not protecting the Prince's Mansion, Ye Feng scolded the new emperor in the court, Xiao Yuanqing was angry and expelled him from Kyoto and asked him to guard the northern border.

In fact, this is just a trick they use, the northern border is the foundation of Dayan, and Ye Feng's defense of the northern border is actually to retain the maximum number of troops.
