As a dormitory, the lights out time of Shoukang Hall is always later than elsewhere, especially these days when the envoys of the five countries come to visit, it is often not until the second half of the night that Zhao Gonggong will serve Wen Jingyuan to rest and turn off the lights.

The night has passed the fourth watch, and seeing that it will be dawn after another hour, Emperor Wen Jingyuan of Dayuan still has no intention of resting, and a pair of gray eyebrows mixed with a few strands of gray 'hair' are tightly twisted into a ball.

"Yi Zhen's original intention was to let the second prince go to Nanqing to be a concubine, but the Nanqing princess fell in love with the fourth prince, and the 'female' of the Mugeta family did not ask for any marriage, so I really can't think of a good way to control the development of things next."

By the window, the miserable white figure that cut through the dim light swayed: "Now that the Yuan Kingdom is the most powerful, and most of the visits of the five countries are for the purpose of testing, the emperor is making requests from them at this time, won't these small countries be self-righteous and powerful in the future?" ”

"But it's inconvenient to set up a horse so quickly, after all, Nahos is a big country outside of Zhongzhou, and it seems impossible to make it submit." Twisting his half-length beard, Wen Jingyuan hesitated.

Lian Song was noncommittal about Wen Jingyuan's caution, but his eyes were full of disapproval when he looked out the window at the dark night.

Duo Kingdom, Nanqing Kingdom, Huqiu Kingdom, Qingyue Kingdom, and Hosdu Kingdom, these five countries all decided to send envoys to Yuan Kingdom with their own purposes. Qingyue Kingdom was instructed by Lian Song, and there is no possibility of harboring evil intentions; The foundation of the three kingdoms of Fox Hill, Nanqing, and Qingyue is not enough to be enemies of the Yuan Kingdom, and only the Hosdu Kingdom needs to deal with it with some effort.

On the surface, Lian Song didn't know anything about Helian Mingyan, who was the envoy on behalf of the Hostur, but in fact, he had already checked the matter about her, whether it was a confidante who was warm and affectionate in the past, or a villain who had assassinated the first emperor, Lian Song just pretended to be ignorant and unconscious; As for the purpose of Helian Ming's visit, Lian Song didn't understand it very thoroughly, but he naturally wouldn't believe the reason for the envoy to "connect the good of the two countries" and "set a precedent for exchanges".

"Didn't Hosturguo say that he had something to discuss with the emperor 'privately'?" Lian Song walked out of the dark corner where the light could not shine, and his white clothes were dyed with a soft color.

"I said something about the six cities of Sangluozhou, to the effect that I wanted to ask for land back, and I told her to think about it for a few days, and sent it away temporarily." Wen Jingyuan's brows tightened again, and he gasped hissedly, "I always feel that the 'woman' still has nothing to say, the deputy envoy was also present at the time, and several times he coughed and signaled, but the 'woman' deliberately ignored it, it seems that he has no plans to give it all for the time being, is it not trying to test my attitude?" ”

Lian Song groaned slightly: "It is also possible that I plan to sit and watch the changes and watch the actions of several other countries before making a decision." ”

The impermanence of the world, especially the complex relationships between nations, cannot be easily inferred by far-sighted intellect alone. Wen Jingyuan still respects Lian Song, although Lian Song has not given him any surprises in the matter of sending envoys from the Five Kingdoms so far, Wen Jingyuan does not blame him, and he will still frankly ask Lian Song's opinion for what he thinks and beware of suspicious people and things.

"In the evening, Concubine Yun came to look for me, saying that there was a 'chaos' in the Leadhua Palace. Wen Moqing sent two men with suspicious identities to guard the Leadhua Palace, and after being discovered and questioned, they unscrupulously dragged Yan away from the sorrow, without taking the imperial concubine and Concubine Yun and me in their eyes at all. Hmph, I know that he is not a person who keeps to himself, and there is that ...... who is not worried about his words" The expression of the 'yin' owl that did not match his majestic face flashed on Wen Jingyuan's face, and Sen Leng said in a low and cold tone, "These two must not stay for long!" ”

Since ancient times, the emperor has been ruthless, and what he admires is not to repay grievances with virtue but to cook rabbits and dead dogs, which is the people's hearts and the lessons engraved in history. Lian Song didn't have any disgust with Wen Jingyuan's viciousness, but had a faint excitement, and even the end of the thin 'lip' flap outlined a ruthless smile that shouldn't be there.

"Wen Moqing is arrogant and arrogant, not only to coerce the emperor to obtain the right to dispose of words and worries, but also repeatedly conceal clues about the Qinglian King and the 'jade' seal, and now he is even more reckless, whether it is to Concubine Yun, the imperial concubine or the emperor, there is a lack of courtesy and disrespect, and the rules of the six palaces are like nothing, and the emperor's prestige is like nothing, and in the long run, it will be a big disaster in the court."

What he was most afraid of was adding fuel to the fire, listening to Lian Song's exaggeration, Wen Jingyuan's disgust and suspicion of Wen Moqing became more and more serious, and his clenched fist slammed on the case: "Wen Moqing...... If I want to get rid of the troubles, what is the prime minister's plan? ”

"There is a clever plan, but according to the minister's thoughts, now is not a good time to get rid of the prince of Dingyuan." Just provoked Wen Jingyuan's anger, Lian Song poured cold water on him again. Seeing Wen Jingyuan's stunned and stunned look, Lian Song smiled, still with a cold tone that could not be changed: "The emperor must first know the current situation. Although the second prince is assisted by Chu Ci, his illness is unpredictable, and the appearance of Yan Liwu seems to make the second prince be restrained to a certain extent. On the side of the four princes, Jun Wunian is rich and rivals the country and was born in a gentleman's mansion, and his mind is not much inferior to Chu Ci, but the qualifications of the four princes themselves are far inferior to those of the second prince, and it is not so easy to shake the emperor's great cause; ”

Speaking of Wen Moqing, Lian Song paused slightly, as if organizing the logic of the language, and only spoke again after a while.

"Wen Moqing is a troublesome horn 'color', since he can help the emperor to obtain the throne, he can also support others, in addition to the huge power that Junzilou has, he also has a well-connected and well-known King Dingyuan behind him as a backer, and the worst thing is that he himself also has extraordinary talents and wisdom that do not lose Chu Ci and Jun Wunian. With all due respect, it is really not wise for the emperor to try to prevent the second prince and the fourth prince before, and the real danger is not them, but Wen Moqing! ”

Only the two brothers Wen Moshu and Wen Mozheng had already given Wen Jingyuan a headache, and at this time he was told that there was a Wen Moqing who needed more attention, and Wen Jingyuan's face was naturally not better: "In this case, shouldn't we strike first to eradicate the troubles?" Why did the prime minister say that the time was not right? If it drags on until Wen Moqing is full-fledged, how can you let me suppress it? ”

"The three-legged stand, the emperor will cause the other two forces to be vigilant if they are eliminated first, and the consequence of scaring the snake is very likely to make some situations happen early, and it may also prompt the three of them to work together; If you want to say that the three-pronged approach, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, it seems that it is not so easy, in case any party is 'smart' to do the yellow finch that eats the praying mantis, or sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and wait for the benefit of the fisherman, it is still the emperor who suffers. Therefore, the minister thinks that the best way at present is to respond to all changes with the same, and the emperor will be the most 'shrewd' fisherman, and when the three parties have contradictions and both lose, the emperor will find a reason to eradicate them together, which is as easy as a snap. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lian Song's palm hanging in the air flipped abruptly, seeing Wen Jingyuan's heart surging with a certain thought.

However, after thinking for a while, Wen Jingyuan shook his head frequently: "The idea is good, but why should those three people develop according to your guess?" The second prince and the fourth prince are more affectionate than brothers, and Wen Moqing has no reason to dispute with them......"

"Reason? That kind of thing, can't the emperor give it to them? Lian Song rudely interrupted Wen Jingyuan's words, a cold smile wandered on the side of his lips, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, "For example, the visit of the envoys of the five countries is not a good opportunity to make those three people fall apart?" All the emperor has to do is say a few words of Chrysostom 'jade'. ”

Without Lian Song's signal, Wen Jingyuan, who was the emperor, had already taken the initiative to bow down and lean over to the ear, listening to Lian Song's whispering in his ear, he nodded thoughtfully and thoughtfully, and a smile of ambition gradually appeared on his face.

※※※

The 'spring' season always teaches people to be sleepy, and they have never liked to get up early to leave the warm bedding, and they are not willing to leave the warm bedding until the brocade nobles push the "door" and enter, and they are embarrassed to get up from the "bed", and their pink cheeks reveal a healthy "color".

"I didn't want to urge you to get out of bed, but I was worried that you would miss breakfast time and be hungry, so I simply brought the meal over." Jin Guiren's face did not see the panic left by yesterday's wind and waves', and he was still so approachable. Gently put the tray on the table, the brocade nobles half-opened the window, and the fresh morning breeze swept into the room with a moist breath, which made Yan Li worry a lot of "spirit".

Looking back at Yan Li's worries, Jin Guiren covered his mouth and chuckled: "I saw it all last night, and the second prince only came out of your room when it rained, and left in a hurry with a half-used oil-paper umbrella." ”

Yan Li's face was slightly red: "I kept urging him to go back earlier, but he didn't listen, and I don't know if it was raining." ”

Wen Moshu is the kind of person who is soft but very stubborn in his 'temperament', and he can be regarded as finding an opportunity to coax him to leave his worries for a few days, he naturally refuses to leave easily, if it weren't for the sudden fall of the 'spring' rain in the second half of the night and the fear of being blamed by Chu Ci, Wen Moshu would have stayed in the cold and deserted west side hall of the Leadhua Palace all night.

The relationship with Wen Moshu, Yan Liwu once vaguely said to Jin Guiren, yes, and he was not afraid of her suspicion, and he was ridiculed for a few words as a joke between friends, and the topic gradually deepened.

"Yesterday, not long after you and the prince left, Concubine Yun also left, and I heard that I went directly to the imperial study, and I don't know how this matter is going to be resolved." Seeing that Yan was in a hurry to eat, Jin Guiren poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and sighed lightly, "The second prince and the prince take care of you very much, and dare to have such an attitude in front of Concubine Yun, especially the prince, I have to secretly applaud him, but it's a pity that the two he sent can't stay in the Leadhua Palace anymore, I estimate 'touching', probably Yan Doctor You're also leaving." ”

"Well, Wen Moqing plans to find time to explain the situation to the emperor, and if the emperor allows it, he will take me out of the palace - but I also understand that the possibility of the emperor's consent is not 'sexual', otherwise he would not have forced me to stay in the imperial medical hall in the first place."

Jin Guiren is a smart person who is used to seeing more and talking less, she has no way of knowing why Wen Jingyuan left Yan Liwu in the palace, but she knows in her heart that Yan Liwu's position in the complex situation definitely has an important 'nature' that Wen Jingyuan does not dare to ignore.

Whether it is a harem or a previous dynasty, as long as you are involved in the endless power struggle, which 'girl' can be happy?

Looking at Yan Li with some sympathy, Jin Guiren carefully spoke after hesitation: "Yesterday, the second prince protected you like that in front of everyone, and then he didn't shy away from staying in your room until late at night, which can be regarded as a clear attitude to condemn you, and the emperor may want to embarrass him because of this." As the old saying goes, 'fine' sincerity is the opening of the golden stone, you can be stronger than the second prince, I am not worried that you will be separated, what worries me is the prince of Dingyuan. ”

After quietly looking at it and seeing that there was no sense of boredom, Jin Guiren took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind to pour out the strange feeling that had been pressed in his heart for many days.

"Doctor Yan, I always feel ...... The prince's affection for you is not shallower than that of the second prince! ”
