Chapter Eighty-Three: Listen to the Rain
The snow has stopped, and the snow covers the blue roof tiles of Xizi Villa, slowly melting into snow water, dripping down the eaves on a few banana leaves next to the bluestone steps of Tingyuxuan, which is sad.
Listening to the inner hall of Yuxuan, a wide and gorgeous carved screen blocked the cold wind outside the door.
There was a burning charcoal fire in the brazier, and the crimson color was covered with a layer of silver-gray. The house is warm as spring.
There is wine on the table, it is Yuquan spring wine.
Two men of peerless elegance sat opposite each other, one with a relaxed and lazy posture, and the other with a straight posture, calm and elegant.
Baili peerless picked up the wine glass, shook it lightly in his hand, and after a while, put down the wine glass, and sighed lightly.
"What, this wine doesn't meet Master Hou's taste?" The man in the dark red brocade robe supported his forehead with his hand, raised his sword eyebrows, and said coldly.
"Changsi, you know why I'm bothered, can you say something nice?" Baili peerless glanced at him and sighed again.
Yue Changsi sneered and said, "I've always been like this, if Master Hou has an opinion, he can leave." β
Before Baili Peerless came, Yue Changsi sent away the Crown Prince Fu Yi and Rong Huanghuang Fu Yuntian, originally thought that he could be alone with Feng Xiange, but Baili Peerless actually came, and called Feng Yange to protect Zhao Yu, he was naturally uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer at Baili Peerless.
Baili Peerless also knew why he was in a bad mood. But now it is an eventful time, and Zhao Yu is pregnant at this time, Baili is naturally not at ease, so he has to invite Feng Yange to protect Zhao Yu.
"Changsi, I came today to discuss with you about Yan's return to China and His Majesty's marriage." Baili peerless picked up his wine glass, raised his glass and smiled.
Yue Changsi snorted coldly and said, "The matter of Yan's return to China is something that King Rong is worried about, what are you worried about?" As for Your Majesty's marriage for you, you should be grateful to Your Majesty for marrying his favorite princess to you. β
When Baili Peerless heard this, he was not angry, but smiled deeply, and said: "Changsi, I heard that Di Yao is still in the imperial capital and has not left, you said that if I accidentally distort the news of the burning song in my mansion, what do you think will be the result?" β
"Baili peerless, you dare to threaten me?" Yue Changsi straightened up, glared fiercely at Baili Peerless, and gritted his teeth.
"Where, where, I just accidentally said the wrong thing." Baili peerless looked at him with a few glasses and smiled elegantly.
"Hmph." Yue Changsi leaned back on the back of the chair, supported his forehead with his hand, and his face was full of disdain, "Do you think that Zhao Yu is pregnant, so you have nothing to fear?" Baili peerless, you have to be optimistic about Zhao Yu, if one day she knows some news that she shouldn't know, you will suffer it. β
"Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it." Baili peerless smiled, unaffected by his words in the slightest.
"I hope so." Yue Changsi replied coldly.
Baili peerless smiled disapprerovingly, and said: "The crown prince and King Rong came to you, but for the personnel transfer and military power of this western expedition. What are you going to do? β
Yue Changsi's eyes lit up, and he hooked his lips and sneered: "I'm not a person from the court, how do I know what to do?" Hou Ye is extremely wise, and he is in power, so it stands to reason that there is already a good plan. β
"Changsi, this time, as long as we plan well, we will definitely be able to use this western expedition to help him return to the sight of everyone in the court." Baili peerless cynicism that he didn't care about, Zhengse said, "Changsi, what do you think?" β
"You're too anxious." Yue Changsi said coldly, "He has no power at all now, whether it is in the court or in the rivers and lakes, the power and status of the crown prince and King Rong are indestructible, and the battle for the crown prince between them is becoming more and more intense, you push him out so early, it will only make his years of hard work go to waste, and in the end he will only die even worse." β
"But didn't you instigate King Rong to fight for military power this time just to create a chance for him to come back? What are you afraid of at this time? Baili Peerless also said coldly.
"Chonghua, you have always been smart and calm, why can't you hold your breath this time, is it because Zhao Yu is pregnant, and the emperor gives you marriage?" Yue Changsi's expression was solemn, and he said, "I asked King Rong to fight for military power, but it was just to test the emperor, if the emperor still cared about the rebellion of the twelve cities of Yanzhou and the rebellion of the Heavenly Ghost Gate, then he would definitely think of him, guard against him, and even summon him into the palace to spy on him." β
"My temptation has proved to be effective, and the Emperor has decreed that he will be summoned to the palace. And at this time, we should all stand still and continue to wait is a wise choice. Yue Changsi analyzed the form, and looked coldly at Baili peerless.
"yes, I can't hold my breath anymore." Baili peerless hearing this, his expression was cold, and his eyes were red, "I've endured it for six years, six whole years, and I've done countless things I don't want to do in these six years, and I also have my most beloved woman, and now Minmin is pregnant, but I still want her to worry about me, and she even doesn't hesitate to abandon me in order not to embarrass me." Changsi, do you know how that feels? β
"I understand." Yue Changsi sighed and said, "I understand your feelings, aren't I just like you with Burning Song?" Chonghua, at this time, you must calm down and not mess with yourself. Otherwise, not only will all these years of hard work be in vain, but you will not be able to protect Zhao Yu. Chonghua, listen to me, you must calm down. β
Baili peerless listened to Yue Changsi's words, and felt that this time he was too out of shape, and his face showed a trace of shame, and said, "I'm sorry, it's me who lost my temper." β
"You don't have to blame yourself." Yue Changsi waved his hand and said, "If it were me, I would be like you." Zhao Yu has the protection of the burning song over there, don't worry. β
"I know." Baili peerless nodded and said, "In three days, King Rong will lead his troops to the west." At that time, there will be a shortage of personnel on the Taiwei Mansion, and I will find the right time to put our people in. β
"The affairs in the palace will naturally have to work for you. As for the things outside the court, I will take care of them, and I will also pay attention to the affairs of military power, don't worry. After Yue Changsi finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup.
"I will also take care of his affairs, I will always pay attention to His Majesty's movements and intentions, and I will definitely protect him." Baili Peerless regained his expression and said lightly.
"Then what should Your Majesty do about your marriage?" Yue Changsi asked.
Baili Peerless shook his head and said, "There is no way to get the best of both worlds yet. Fortunately, His Majesty's decree has not yet come down, otherwise I really don't know how to solve this matter perfectly. β
"That's good, but you must tell Burning Ge to pay attention to protecting Zhao Yu's safety, the last time you rejected the emperor's proposal, he will definitely not let Zhao Yu go."
Baili Peerless nodded and said, "I'll pay attention." I will definitely find a way to get His Majesty to take back his fate. By the way, he married Min Min in a dignified manner. β
Yue Changsi's eyes were gloomy, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after a while, he said quietly: "Maybe there is a way to solve your marriage with the princess." β
"What's the solution?" Baili's peerless gaze locked on him tightly and asked.
"Rong Wangxi's expedition was defeated."
"What, King Rong was defeated?" Baili was shocked.
"Not bad." Yue Changsi stood up and picked a charcoal fire, and the scarlet color was completely revealed, exuding a powerful heat.
"As long as King Rong is defeated, with the emperor's temperament, he will inevitably be furious, so he will issue an edict to King Qin, send an edict to the princes, raise the strength of the whole country, and attack Yan Hui in a group. But think about itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Yue Changsi poured a glass of wine for himself, and then said slowly, "Due to the weakness of the national treasury in Daya in recent years, heavy taxes have been increased for the people, coupled with the rampant corruption of officials, the people in the land of the five states are not happy. And militarily it is even more slack, whether it is the imperial city guards in the imperial capital or the armies of various states, the combat effectiveness has decreased significantly. β
"Yan Guoguo is the largest vassal state in Daya, and their lord is wise and hardworking, and he has far surpassed Daya in terms of economy and military." Yue Changsi analyzed, "Although other countries are not as strong as Yan Guoguo, they have developed in terms of governance, economy, culture and other aspects, and they are no longer the original weak vassal states. Therefore, they have long wanted to get rid of Daya completely and establish themselves as kings. The emperor issued an edict to the princes, and they would definitely not respond. β
"Only then will the Emperor realize the weakness of my Daya. In the case of powerlessness, the emperor will definitely choose to negotiate peace. Yue Changsi hooked his lips and smiled, "Discussing peace is nothing more than cutting land, paying compensation, and making peace." Daya has no silver, and he will never cut the land, so there is only harmony. The emperor has two princesses, but Princess Junni is only three years old, so the only person who is close to her is Princess Junhuang, so the marriage between you and Princess Junhuang will not be resolved. β
Hearing this, Baili peerless groaned. After a while, he said: "King Rong is a man of outstanding wisdom and deep scheming, he is also familiar with the art of war, and he cannot be underestimated in the aspect of arranging troops, how easy is it to defeat him?" β
"Chonghua knows, who is the coach of Yan returning to Changlin City this time?" Yue Changsi asked nonchalantly.
"Could it be that this time it is Xiliang Yaotang, the first general of Yan's return to China?"
"Not bad." Yue Changsi smiled slightly, and said, "This Xiliang Yaotang has been on the battlefield for a long time, proficient in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, and has always been undefeated in a hundred battles. If I use a little more means, King Rong will definitely be defeated when he encounters him. β
"If King Rong is defeated, other countries will inevitably take the opportunity to raise troops to invade Daya, and then the people will be endangered, and I am afraid that this will bring disaster to Daya." Baili peerless worried.
"You can rest assured that the other vassal states are still fledgling, and then they just want to take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of it, if they join forces to invade our Daya, they don't have the courage and strength." Yue Chang thought.
Hearing this, Baili stood up, paced and muttered: "Changsi, I have always believed in your ability, since you say so, I am relieved, now there is only this way, I want to give it a try anyway." β
"Don't worry, I've already taken the divination, and everything is fine."
"Okay, that's it." Baili peerless patted him on the shoulder, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and nodded.
