(31) Those who win the hearts of the people win the world
"Gongzi Lian, I came to the main hall early in the morning, but what is the important matter?"
In the early morning of the next day, Yan Xige, accompanied by Shangguan Yanyue, had just had breakfast when he heard Yuzhu say that Lian Qingjue asked to see him. Since this was the first time that Lian Qingjue had taken the initiative to find himself since he entered the mansion, Yan Xige hurriedly got up, first comforted Shangguan Xuanyue, who was a little absent-hearted, and then walked quickly to the lobby to greet Lian Qingjue.
"There is indeed something I want to talk to Your Highness about."
At Yan Yuge's signal, Lian Qingjue sat on the chair next to him, and then looked at Yan Xige.
"I want to come to His Royal Highness, I also know that before Lian Mou came to Yuruo City, the emperor of my Yu Kingdom originally wanted to go to the country of Bo Yan, but later, because of His Royal Highness, the emperor only stationed the army at the border, and had no intention of attacking."
"Yes."
Yan Xige nodded.
"Then His Royal Highness should also know that once, Yan Xisheng colluded with Cai Yong, the prime minister of my Yu country, to seek the power of my Yu country?"
Looking at Yan Xige, who was a little inexplicable, Lian Qingjue asked again.
"I know, but this matter should not be able to be done by Yan Xisheng's ability alone, this hall thinks that most of the collusion with Cai Yong was instigated by Ren Zhaokang."
Hearing Lian Qingjue ask this, Yan Xige was even more puzzled.
"I don't know what Gongzi Lian thinks when he says this?"
"Now that Lian Mou has a plan, he can let His Highness have one more helper, and he can also suppress Yan Xisheng and Ren Zhaokang's arrogance, is His Highness interested in hearing about it?"
The corners of his mouth raised a pleasant arc, and Lian Qingjue said.
"Oh? The main hall listens attentively, and even the son please speak. ”
When he heard that he could not only get a virtuous talent, but also be able to deal with Yan Xisheng and Ren Zhaokang, Yan Xige couldn't help but show joy.
"Before, Lian Mou accidentally got a letter of collusion between Yan Xisheng and Cai Yong, and handed over this letter to my Emperor Yu, and because of this letter, Cai Yong was speechless and was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason."
Although Cai Yong is dead, after all, he died too easily, so when he mentioned him, even Qingjue was still uncomfortable.
"Oh? In that case, if you take that letter and hand it to your father, wouldn't Yan Xisheng not have to worry? ”
Hearing Lian Qingjue say this, Yan Xige began to be a little excited.
"If that's the case, even so-and-so won't be used for this."
Lian Qingjue sighed with some regret.
"After Cai Yong was imprisoned, he died in prison for no reason, and the letter disappeared."
"And such a thing?"
Hearing this, Yan Xige couldn't help but be shocked. That is to say, Yan Yusheng and Ren Zhaokang's power is far greater than they imagined, otherwise how could they have stretched out their hands to the Yuguo Palace?
"Because of this matter, my emperor is very angry, but because Cai Yong is dead, it can be regarded as a big trouble, so my emperor did not investigate further."
Lian Qingjue sighed softly.
"What's more, I don't have to think about it to know that the loss of such important evidence must be Yan Yusheng's handiwork, so even if my emperor wants to pursue it, it can't be investigated."
"Then I don't know what Childe just said?"
Hearing this, Yan Xige's excited mood just now disappeared.
"His Royal Highness wants to investigate the old case of the Cheng family twenty years ago, and this idea is good. But after all, the Cheng family's case has been a long time, and it will definitely not be clear overnight, and during this period, if His Royal Highness just sits and waits for death, it will inevitably make Yan Xisheng and Ren Zhaokang too proud, so they ......"
Lian Qingjue smiled lightly.
"Therefore, Lian Mou wanted His Royal Highness to write to the emperor, in the name of 'in case of sudden war, the people are not happy', and asked the emperor to send an envoy to Yuguo, so as to make good relations between the two countries."
"Envoy Yu?"
Hearing Lian Qingjue's words, Yan Xige was taken aback.
"Suddenly, the palace went to talk to my father about the envoy, it was too sudden."
"Not suddenly."
Yan Xige's was expected by himself anyway, so even Qing Jue didn't care.
"Since the beginning of the spring, the army of the Yu State has been stationed on the border between the two countries, whether it is His Royal Highness or Yan Yusheng, he should be a little worried, after all, in terms of strength, the Bo Yan State is not the opponent of the Yu State. And before, Emperor Bo Yan was seriously ill and could not handle political affairs, although Your Highness and Yan Yusheng fought openly and secretly, they didn't dare to act too ostentatious. Later, Emperor Bo Yan's condition gradually improved, His Royal Highness should be able to see that he walked around the palace every day, for the Yu army, Emperor Bo Yan was actually very worried, although he did not know why Yu's army was suddenly stationed at the border and there was no movement, but after all, he was always worried, for fear that he would receive the news that Yu attacked Bo Yanguo as soon as he woke up. ”
"That's right."
Thinking of his father's appearance of worrying all day long since he woke up, although his body was constantly improving, Yan Xige also felt a little sad.
"Therefore, His Royal Highness going to mention the envoy at this moment can not only solve Emperor Bo Yan's mind at this time, but also take this opportunity to let Emperor Bo Yan see His Highness's mind clearly."
Lian Qingjue always maintained a chuckle that was in his hands.
"Your Highness should understand that if you want to sit in that position, it is not enough to defeat Yan Xisheng and Ren Zhaokang by calculating and means, what Your Highness has to do is to let Emperor Bo Yan, let the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and let the people of Bo Yan know that His Highness has been working hard for the country and the people. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, this truth, I don't need to say more. ”
"Hearts and minds...... Win the world? ”
Yan Xige suddenly realized because of Lian Qingjue's words. Yes, for a long time, he has only regarded Yan Xisheng and Ren Zhaokang as enemies, thinking that as long as he knocks them down, he will be able to sit in that position without obstacles. But what about when you sit in that position? What he wants is not only above 10,000 people, what he wants more is what the people want!
"What Gongzi Lian said, this hall understands."
"Your Highness is good if you understand."
Looking at Yan Yuge's thoughtful appearance, the curvature of the corners of Lian Qingjue's mouth became even greater.
"Then I don't know what Gongzi Lian said, what does this hall mean by a helper?"
As if he suddenly remembered something, Yan Xige asked again.
"When His Royal Highness envoys Yu Guo, it stands to reason that Yu State will also send envoys to Bo Yan Country to demonstrate the determination of the two countries to form friends. At that time, the envoy who came to envoy was another helper of His Royal Highness mentioned by Lian Mou. ”
As if he had seen the appearance of that person after coming to Bo Yanguo, Lian Qingjue's eyes were full of faint smiles.
"Then I don't know why Gongzi Lian is so sure that the envoys sent by Yu will definitely be able to help this palace?"
Looking at Lian Qingjue's happy appearance with a spring breeze, Yan Xige looked puzzled.
"This, Your Highness will naturally know when the time comes."
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lian Qingjue got up and bowed slightly to Yan Yuge.
"Your Highness, Lian Mou has taken his leave first."
"Lian Gongzi walks slowly."
Although he still had doubts, but seeing that Lian Qingjue looked like he was in his chest, Yan Xige stopped asking, anyway, he knew that Lian Qingjue had the imperial order of the Emperor of Yuguo, no matter what, he would not harm himself anyway.
"Your Highness."
After Lian Qingjue left, Shangguan Xuanyue walked out of the inner room, with a look of displeasure on his face.
"Yan Yue."
Yan Yuge, who was still immersed in Lian Qingjue's good strategy, took Shangguan Xuanyue in her arms, and there was a smile on her face.
"How correct the decision of the Emperor of the Yu Kingdom of the Alliance made by the main hall at that time! This Lian Qingjue is really thoughtful and scheming! ”
"Your Highness."
Listening to Yan Yuge's constant praise of Lian Qingjue, Shangguan Yanyue's already dull heart became even more unhappy.
"Even Qing Jue's words were heard just now, does His Highness really believe in a courtier from another country so much?"
"Yan Yue."
Slightly retracting the smile on his face, Yan Xige looked at the person with his head hanging in his arms.
"What's on your mind? Yan Yue came back so late last night, and got up this morning, and the palace felt that Yan Yue's mood was not right. ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."
Shangguan Yanyue lowered his head, and a trace of panic and determination flashed on his face. The previous thing, since I met him last night, it will be over, from now on, I just need to be with His Highness.
"Are you really okay?"
Yan Xige asked again uneasily, but saw Shangguan Xuanyue shaking his head, and then raised his head and looked at himself with some grievances.
"Your Highness, Yan Yue is afraid...... I'm afraid that His Royal Highness has Lian Qingjue, and Yan Yue will ...... in His Highness's heart It's not that important. ”
Biting her lip aggrievedly, Shangguan Yanyue lowered her head again. And at the moment of bowing his head, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, Lian Qingjue, I didn't expect you to be so favored by His Royal Highness, it seems that this mansion can't accommodate you!
"Haha, Yan Yue is too worried."
Pity dropped a kiss between Shangguan Yanyue's hair, and Yan Xige patted Shangguan Yanyue's back a little funny.
"Then Lian Qingjue is just a help in the palace, no matter how resourceful he is, how can he be able to compete with Yan Yue's position in the heart of the palace? Yan Yue, you just love to be cranky. ”
"Yan Yue knows that he is wrong."
Shangguan Yanyue wrapped her arms around Yan Xige and hugged Yan Xige.
"But Your Highness should understand, the reason why Yan Yue thinks so is because Yan Yue regards His Royal Highness as the only one in his heart, and Yan Yue is afraid that His Royal Highness will ......"
"Yan Yue."
Calling softly to the person in his arms, Yan Xige interrupted his unfinished words.
"The main hall assured Yan Yue that what Yan Yue was afraid of would never happen."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
buried his face deeply in Yan Yuge's arms, and Shangguan Yanyue looked satisfied.
"Okay, the palace has to go back to the palace to visit my father and concubine, I heard last night that my mother was sick, so I'm afraid that the palace won't be able to come out of these two palaces, you stay in the palace obediently, if there is anything, go to Ji Wen or Lian Gongzi to discuss."
Reluctantly let go of the person in his arms, Yan Yu said.
"Yes."
Shangguan Xuanyue got up, helped Yan Xige tidy up her clothes, and then sent Yan Xige to the door of the mansion, and saw that Yan Xige's sedan chair was missing, and then turned around and went back to the house with a gloomy face.
