Chapter VII: Strict Orders (One Change)

In the Seven Princes' Mansion, Chu Yan has been thinking about it for a whole month behind closed doors.

He has his own power for so many years, naturally different from the queen, the queen stays in the palace, as long as the emperor orders the Praetorian Guards to block her palace gate, she will not get news from the outside, but Chu Yan is different, even if the emperor sends someone to keep an eye on the Seven Princes' Mansion, he can still get news from the outside.

For example, King Jing was very favored and took over most of the affairs of the DPRK and China, and in the past month, the momentum has been very strong.

For example, the fourth prince and the fifth prince were not willing to lag behind, and they did not dare to fight Chu Lan openly, but they were secretly developing their own forces.

For example, Old Man Gu has been ill for a month.

For example, there was no news of Nanyang at all, and there was no news of what An Huajin had done since he returned to Nanyang City, and there was no news of Gu Qingyan after he went to Nanyang City.

For example, the emperor was on fire several times this month.

For example, Wang Anzhi is very valued by the prince, and the emperor will find Wang Anzhi if he has anything, not to mention that Wang Anzhi has become a new upstart in the court, but also a popular person in front of the emperor, and his official position has been promoted to three levels.

……

There was too much news, and Chu Yan often waved his hand after hearing it, not saying a word.

Chu Yan has practiced in front of the emperor for so many years, and he can calm down, many of the staff of the Seventh Prince's Mansion can't hold their breath, for so many years, they have accompanied Chu Yan, and when the second prince and the third prince are favored, it is very difficult to avoid the edge of the second prince and the third prince's favored prince step by step.

After the second prince was given death and the third prince's power was implicated and weakened suddenly, Chu Yan's prospects were in sight, and it seemed to be getting better all of a sudden, but it was also accompanied by huge pressure. In the past six months, he has been stared at by countless people, dealing with countless tricky things, early drought, later floods, droughts and floods, he is in charge of overall planning, especially His Majesty and the flowers are like jade and the phoenix in those days, the court affairs have been pushed to him, he works hard every day, he can't even sleep well, and the people who are close to him who support him are in his eyes, but obviously everything looks good, who knows, in the blink of an eye, it has plummeted, to this point.

Now that he has been ordered by His Majesty to think behind closed doors for a month, a month is nothing to ordinary people, but for the prince who is fighting for power, the impact is too great. There are people who support him who may watch the situation waver, and the forces he has worked so hard to cultivate may be eaten away by other princes, and the foundation will be dug deep and take the opportunity to eradicate it, and for a longer time, the most serious consequence will be that years of operation will be ruined.

The corners of some of the staff's mouths were foaming, "Your Highness, what should you do if you squeak?" We can't just wait day after day. ”

Chu Yan looked at the most confidant staff in front of him, "Wait for news from Nanyang." ”

The staff members glanced at each other, "There is no news from Nanyang so far, if you keep waiting, if Nanyang is reversed, then Your Majesty will be in danger." ”

Chu Yan smiled faintly, "Nanyang won't rebel." ”

Even if he wants to rebel, whether it is the king of Nanyang or An Huajin, it is impossible to ignore him and his mother.

One of the staff stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness, you are so calm, but what did Lord An Xiaojun say to you when he left?" ”

"She's talking something." Chu Yan didn't plan to say to the staff, "So, just wait patiently." ”

The staff had no choice but to give up.

However, after not waiting for two days, news came from Nanyang that the old king of Nanyang had received a summons from His Majesty and had already left Nanyang for the capital.

The staff were shocked and asked the person who reported the news, "Is the news true?" The old prince has already set off? What about the little county lord of Ann? ”

"The news is true, the old prince has indeed set off, and there is no news from the little county lord An, probably not coming."

The staff asked again, "How many people did the old prince bring with him when he came to Beijing?" ”

"The old prince is said to be lightly armed and simple, and he only brought a few hundred guards."

The staff members were even more frightened, and they all looked at Chu Yan.

Chu Yan smiled, "My grandfather has been fighting horses all his life, and he has experienced countless lives and deaths on the battlefield, how can he be afraid of his father's summons?" The father summoned his grandfather, so his cousin naturally didn't have to come, even if he was summoned, he would definitely not come on the surface, so why did his father slap himself again? ”

"But after the old prince entered Beijing, His Majesty was there...... In case the old prince ......"

"Do you want to do it? Father didn't dare. Chu Yan shook his head, "He must not have expected that his grandfather would answer the call so quickly, since he answered the call, his plan must be to detain his grandfather and threaten his cousin to come to Beijing to punish the crime." ”

"In this way, isn't the old prince very passive? The little lord is afraid that he will also be coerced by His Majesty for the sake of filial piety. The staff began to worry.

Chu Yan smiled, his tone was light, revealing a faint emotion, and he was almost unnoticed, "If she was such an obedient person, she would not have left Beijing and returned to Nanyang, and she would have obediently appeared to let her father punish her." Since she dared to kill flowers like jade, and dared to blatantly return to Nanyang under the wanted notice of her father, she was not afraid, and she was not a person who would let herself be passive for the sake of filial piety. ”

"What about the old prince after he came to Beijing?" The staff didn't know much about the old Nanyang King after all, they only knew that for many years, Chu Yan had an indifferent temperament, and the old Nanyang King didn't seem to care about this grandson, and there was not a single letter exchanged all year round.

"After coming to Beijing, His Majesty did not let people go, and just took the opportunity to retire." Chu Yanyun is light and breezy.

Staff: "......"

The staff looked at me and I looked at you for a while, and they were very speechless, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Because it was so understated by Chu Yan, it seems that the old prince came to Beijing and came to His Majesty's Hongmen banquet, which doesn't seem to be a big deal.

In vain, they are sixty or seventy old, and they are not as calm as the Seventh Highness.

A staff member said, "Wang An knows that this person is very unfathomable, and his methods are very evil, this person is now highly valued by His Majesty, and he has been born three levels in a month, and he has already worshiped the secretary of the military department, if he does it in the military department, then the supply of the Nanyang army will be difficult again." ”

"The Nanyang Army has been raising nothing in the imperial court for so many years." Chu Yan sneered, "Wang Anzhi even if he wants to cut off the supply of the Nanyang Army, he can't starve the Nanyang Army to death, otherwise for so many years, anyone in the Nanyang Army can take it away?" ”

The reason why the An family has been established for one hundred and fifty years is nothing more than painstaking efforts, when the imperial court can't point to it, it is its own strength, raising millions of soldiers and horses, Nanqi and Nanliang are eyeing each other, and they will unite to fight a battle every three or five times, the capital is far away, and the Son of Heaven will not see the bloody battlefield fighting, so he thinks that the prosperous era is too peaceful, but everyone knows that without the Nanyang army, Dachu would have been destroyed by Nanqi and Nanliang together.

If he didn't know about the Nanyang Army before, Wang Anzhi might have worried about this if he blocked and delayed the supply of the Nanyang Army in the military department, but since An Huajin entered Beijing, he also had a deep understanding of Nanyang, so he naturally wouldn't be worried.

According to the news from the palace, Wang Anzhi recommended King Jing very much, and I am afraid that he has already taken refuge in King Jing. This person is really a bit powerful, and there is a royal family behind him, if he takes refuge in King Jing, then, with him helping King Jing, His Royal Highness will be even more difficult here, after all, now looking at the momentum of King Jing, with the support of His Majesty, it is very fast. ”

Chu Yan smiled, "Have you forgotten that his people were cleaned up by his cousin?" ”

The staff patted their heads together, King Jing was really in the limelight for a while, so they really forgot that as early as a month ago, when His Majesty began to want Lord An Xiaojun, King Jing could almost be regarded as sending people to dispatch, but as a result, they were all strangled by Lord An's people, and only one came back, reported a letter, and fell to the ground and died.

How many people can still worship the king today?

The limelight is fast and sharp, what about contacting courtiers? Its own power is just an empty shelf.

Unless......

One person, "Zhenbei Wangfu Su Shizi has been sighing very much with Chen Xiaowang and Jiang Xiaohou recently, and the friendship seems to be very good, and he has not yet found out that Zhenbei Wangfu has completely helped King Jing." ”

One person took over, "The Zhenbei Wangfu is probably waiting, and the Zhenbei King sent Su Shizi into Beijing, probably to investigate the situation in Beijing." Now in this form, the king of Zhenbei is afraid that he will be more cautious. ”

"Wang Anzhi is such a person, arrogant and arrogant, evil-minded, arbitrary, I'm afraid he doesn't look down on my eighth brother, why is there news that he supports the eighth brother now, this matter remains to be seen. As for Su Han, he is very smart, I'm afraid he can't look down on my eighth brother, if the Zhenbei Wangfu wants to express his position, he will already express it, so that he won't drag it all the time, and drag the good concubine in the palace so tolerated, and he wants to take the opportunity to go back to Mobei Province to persuade the king of Zhenbei to support my eighth brother, but my father doesn't know what the consideration is based on, and he hasn't agreed yet. ”

Chu Yan stood with his hands in his hands and waved his hand to everyone, "Let's wait for my grandfather to enter Beijing!" After my grandfather entered Beijing, he was ghostly, and if he wanted to move, he couldn't sit still and make a move. During this time, I ordered the people below to obey my orders, and they were not allowed to act rashly, and those who violated them were severely punished. ”

Everyone responded in unison, "Yes!" ”
