Lou Yan hurriedly ripped off his cloak and put a lid on Chi Yun's leg.

Chi Yun raised his head and saw Beixiang Wang Lou Yi coming over.

"Big brother! Do you walk silently? Lou Yan was ashamed.

Lou Yi squatted on the side of the spring, and laughed: "My own house, why do you have to make a sound when you walk?" ”

Lou Yan said: "Now it's mine!" ”

"Huh." Lou Yicai didn't listen to him, his eyes were on Chi Yun, and he nodded with a smile: "Miss Chi." ”

Ji Yun wanted to give a gift, but his feet were still soaked in the spring water, and it was not right to want to get up.

Lou Yi saw her embarrassment, stood up by herself, and waved her hand: "Ah, don't be embarrassed, I'll just go." ”

Then he staggered away.

Ji Yun looked at his back and asked, "What is he here for?" ”

Scared them, didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and left?

Lou Yan rubbed his forehead: "I want to see you." ”

"Oh......" Chi Yun said, "Your eldest brother is almost the same as before!" ”

Lou Yan was full of resentment: "Where else can he change?" ”

was so disturbed by Lou Yi, the two of them didn't have the heart to soak down, got up and put on shoes and socks, went to the nearby night market to play for a while, went to Washe to watch a play, and sent her back at the end of the day.

Seeing Chi Yun enter Chaofang Palace, Han Deng asked, "Childe, shall we go back?" ”

Lou Yan paused for a moment and said, "Go to Wangfu Street." ”

"Yes."

……

It was late at night, and the king of Xining had not yet slept.

How could he possibly sleep? The prince of Xining is still in prison, and his future is uncertain.

The confidant said: "Lord Wang, you just listen to the next persuasion from your subordinates, this is obviously to deal with our Xining Palace!" ”

King Xining frowned, and walked around the study several times before he said, "If we really do this, we will turn against the court!" ”

"What if you don't turn your face? Do you want to watch your son die? ”

King Xining shook his head: "It shouldn't be ......"

The staff disagreed: "If they are willing to stay, why would they set up such a poisonous plan to kill the son of the world?" ”

The King of Xining was speechless, and only said after a while: "Our Xining Palace, not as good as the Beixiang Palace." The situation in the southwest has never been peaceful. If you turn your face with the court, let alone get help in the future, you will be constrained. How to ignore the entire Xining Royal Mansion for the sake of Ah Ming alone? ”

"But you see, in the past two days, we have found so many people, and none of them will accept our gifts. What does this mean? It shows that this thing can't be done, and they don't dare to accept it! Lord, it's not that we're going to get to this point, it's that they're forcing us to get to this point. ”

The king of Xining was persuaded by his staff and was almost shaken.

He only has such a son-in-law, if he dies in the capital, not only will there be problems with the succession of the prince, but it will also cause turmoil in the southwest.

The king of Xining regretted it, and showed his sincerity in this act, and specially brought his son here, who knew that it would be a Huangquan road with no return.

Just when he was about to decide to let his staff send a message back and use the situation to force the court to release him, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord, someone sent a letter."

The King of Xining was stunned for a moment: "Who sent it?" ”

"It's a beggar, and he should have been entrusted by others."

This style of behavior seems to be hiding people's eyes.

The king of Xining stretched out his hand: "Bring it." ”

"Yes."

The letter was very simple, only one line was written, and the king of Xining opened it, looked at it, and stuffed it back.

"Let's go."

The staff hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, where are you going?" ”

The king of Xining swept away his sorrow and looked extremely excited: "Go and see someone."

……

In the tea room, Lou Yan did not drink tea, but looked through a travelogue for guests to read.

After waiting for a while, Han Deng came in with someone: "Childe, the guest has arrived." ”

Lou Yan casually closed the book and stood up.

The King of Xining, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in and saluted: "Lord Lou." ”

Such an attitude is too polite for Lou Yan's official rank.

The staff who came with him disagreed, but they still politely gave a salute.

Lou Yan returned the salute with the same expression as usual: "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

The two sat down, and the king of Xining got straight to the point: "Last time, I had the help of Lord Lou, and this king is grateful." But I don't know what advice Lord Lou has this time? ”

Lou Yan poured tea for him with a pot, and asked instead of answering: "Is the prince hitting a wall everywhere and no one to help?" ”

King Xining was silent and nodded slowly.

He doesn't need to deny that anyone with eyes can see it. The current public opinion is all about the death of the prince of Xining, and no one wants to go against the mainstream.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid the prince will have to take risks, right?"

King Xining was taken aback and squeezed out a smile: "What did Lord Lou say?" This king can't rob the prison, right? ”

Lou Yan said lightly: "Naturally, you can't rob the prison, but if there is another war in the southwest, in order to appease your Xining Palace, I will never behead the prince again." ”

The plan was guessed, King Xining's cheeks twitched, and the faces of his staff were a little unnatural.

Lou Yan sighed slightly and said, "If the prince does this, then the Xining Royal Mansion will soon cease to exist." ”

King Xining looked at him suspiciously: "What does Lord Lou mean by this?" ”

Lou Yan said: "It means that if someone is waiting for you to do this, you can take the opportunity to condemn yourself and take away the military power of the Xining Palace." ”

The king of Xining didn't believe it: "We, the king of Xining, have been stationed in the southwest for more than a hundred years, how can we easily move?" Don't they want the frontier to be settled? ”

"I really don't want to." Lou Yan smiled faintly, "Lord Wang, think about what benefits the southwest can bring to the imperial court." Taxes? Upside down every year. Popular Hearts? It would be nice if those aliens could not make trouble. Mineral drugs? Yes, but relative to military spending, it is not enough to make ends meet. Therefore, erasing the southwest is not an unacceptable deal for the imperial court. ”

The king of Xining was stunned by his theory: "But, but ......"

Expanding the territory is the innate ambition of the dynasty!

Lou Yan shook his head: "Not everyone has a long-term vision. Whether he is reluctant or not, it depends on where his focus is. ”

The king of Xining was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "Is this what the top means?" ”

He was referring to the emperor.

Lou Yan shook his head again and said frankly: "If it was Your Majesty's will, I wouldn't be sitting here." ”

Hope ignited in the eyes of the king of Xining: "That ......"

"The prince will go to the palace gate tomorrow to cry." He said, "The worse you cry, the better, to let everyone know that Shi Shizi was drugged, and Zheng Xiaogongzi was not killed by him." ”

The King of Xining was stunned.

"At the same time, send people all over the city to inquire, offer a bounty, what medicine can make people eat as if drunk, and I can't think of it afterwards."

Before the king of Xining could do anything, his staff jumped up.

"I'll just say it's strange, the prince has a lot of alcohol, why is it so easy to get drunk this time?"
