As the night grew thicker and the stars shifted, the bustling city of Di'an gradually fell silent.

Xu Yuanduan sat in front of the tea case, his eyes flickering in the moonlight that entered the window.

Li Yucheng returned to the palace.

The large room was empty, and it was a little lonely to sit alone.

Even if Li Yaoxuan had acquiesced to the fact that he could make some preparations, as a prince who was already in charge of the country, Li Yucheng's move to recruit courtiers still had to be carried out in secret.

Before dawn, he had to go back to the palace to prepare for the morning pilgrimage of the new day.

Xu Yuan picked up the teapot that Li Yucheng had made before leaving, added a cup for himself, and drank it all in one gulp, with a smile gently on the corner of his lips.

People walk away and the tea is not cold.

This night, the two talked a lot.

After opening the conversation, the topic of the two talked all the way from the grassroots people's livelihood to the decrees of the current dynasty, and from the external worries to the internal hidden diseases, which can be described as the joy of the guests and the hosts.

However, to Xu Yuan's surprise, Li Yucheng did not mention the solicitation from beginning to end.

I think it should be his previous remarks that made Li Yucheng change his mind and change the importance he attaches to his current false identity.

has risen from a dispensable shadow to a staff member who can assist him in governing the world.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan sighed softly.

Judging from what he saw and heard tonight, this middle-aged prince really fits Xu Yuan's definition of Renjun.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Li Yucheng did not play him.

Everyone in the power center of Great Yan is the kind of great master who can act until you cry, Xu Yuan naturally will not make the mistake of easily believing others.

However, with the posture of the two talking tonight, he should still have a chance to meet this prince.

When the time comes, just observe it.

Standing up from the tea table, Xu Yuan prepared to go to rest.

Although he broke through the fusion body, his body no longer needed to sleep, but if he didn't sleep at night, Xu Yuan always felt like something was missing.

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the wooden door of the Tianfu wing.

"Tuk Tuk"

Pausing to look back, Xu Yuan subconsciously wanted to use his spiritual vision to investigate, but in the end he held back.

Although the spiritual vision is extremely hidden, the powerhouse of the mortal level can still be penetrated, in order not to reveal his identity, it is best for him not to abuse it during this period of time.

When I walked over and opened the door, I was greeted by an old man who was a little old, but his eyes were sharp.

Xu Yuan glanced up and down at the visitor, and a name came to his mind.

Wang Yuqian.

The soldier is the old man of his current identity.

Glancing at the other party, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

He didn't understand why the other party was able to find this place.

Although he was puzzled, Xu Yuan didn't speak immediately, turned around and walked into the room, and sat back in front of the tea case that he had just talked about with Li Yucheng.

But this time,

He sat down on the throne.

The old man had no objection when he saw this scene, and followed Xu Yuan into the room.

And the moment he stepped into the room, Xu Yuan's fingers for pouring tea were slightly raised, the door closed automatically, and the formation set up in the entire wing room immediately began to operate, completely separating all sounds inside and outside.

Pouring a cup of fragrant tea for the old man and placing it on the tea table opposite, Xu Yuan slowly raised his eyes and asked:

"Doesn't Elder Wang sit?"

Wang Yuqian looked at the man opposite who had the same face as his heir, but his expression was extremely respectful, and after bowing solemnly, he knelt down and sat down:

"Yes, Third Prince."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, poured himself tea, and asked casually:

"How did you find here, Elder Wang?"

This room was opened by Li Yucheng, and the front foot of the person had just walked for less than half an hour, and the squire of the military department came over, is this prince a little too imprudent?

Wang Yuqian hesitated slightly when he heard this question, and replied softly:

"The servant reports, you have booked two floors of private rooms in this Xuanyue Building tonight."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he also knew instantly:

"It seems that the man opened a private room in my name."

"The man?"

Although Wang Yuqian was old, he reacted quickly, and subconsciously looked at the two empty tea porcelain cups on the side of the tea case.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, and said casually:

"Prince Li Yucheng."

The person in front of him is the person that Daddy absolutely trusts, so naturally there is no need to hide it.

And

The other party is the father of this identity, and there are some things that the other party needs to know in advance to be prepared.

“.”

When Wang Yuqian heard this, his pupils shrank slightly.

Three Sons. Meet the prince here?

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Yuqian subconsciously thought that he had almost broken the third son's plan, and immediately bowed his head and said quickly:

"Third son, little old man doesn't know about you tonight."

“.”

Xu Yuan looked at the old man in front of him with sincere fear, a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

Although the other party is an old minister who has experienced decades of ups and downs in the court, the power in his hands can be said to be above 10,000 people, but this power is rooted in the behemoth of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And now the fake death has shown that he is important in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In other words,

In the eyes of this soldier of the military department, he Xu Yuan is a person who can determine the life and death of his whole family with one word like the prime minister.

The thought flashed, Xu Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and smiled indifferently:

"Why should Wang Lao be like this?

"Tonight's incident happened suddenly, and I was also suddenly approached by the prince, and if outsiders see that you, Lao Tzu, are so respectful to the heir, is it too weird?

"During the period when I disguised my identity, Elder Wang only needed to treat me as a junior."

“.”

After a moment of silence, Wang Yuqian slowly raised his eyes and nodded slightly hesitantly.

Although he wondered why the prince was looking for the third son, he didn't ask very well.

Xu Yuan knocked on the table and asked softly:

"My son doesn't like it, but when Wang Lao is here, he should have something to convey to me, right?"

"Yes, Lord Xiangguo asked Xiao Lao'er to tell his son that he can go back to his house in the near future."

"Oh?"

"Lord Xiangguo said that the formation on the fourth lady's side has broken through, and you need to go back and verify it with the third son."

“.” Xu Yuan.

After being quiet for a while, Xu Yuan's eyes gradually brought a trace of excitement.

He didn't expect the progress to be so fast, and it has been less than two months since he told the other party about his needs that day, and Dora Yao has already made a breakthrough.

After a slight groan, Xu Yuan stood up and was about to go out.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yuqian, the squire of the military department, hurriedly called Xu Yuan and said:

"Childe. Childe, please be calm and don't be impatient, Xiao Lao'er is only to inform you in advance of this trip, at this time, when Fang Caiyin, you need to enter the palace in the early morning later, and when I come back, I can take you to the Prime Minister's Mansion together. ”

Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this, then raised his hand and knocked his head, sat back again, and said with a smile:

"I forgot about this when I heard this good news, thank you for your words."

The third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion is dead, and with his current status, there is no reason to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.

And there are a lot of eyeliners from all parties around Xiangguo's mansion, and if he wants to go home, he can only enter the mansion with this old man's talents.

After a pause, Xu Yuan asked softly again:

"In addition, Wang Lao Ke has other things."

"Not yet."

"In that case." As Xu Yuan spoke, he raised the teacup in front of him and arched his hand towards the other party.

When Wang Yuqian saw this, he immediately understood, and a smile appeared on the old man's face:

"If there is no major event in the early dynasty, the time of the next dynasty will be around the hour of the morning, and the little old man will not disturb the third prince to rest."

Speaking of which,

Wang Yuqian slowly stood up and saluted Xu Yuan.

The number of ceremonies is not finished,

Looking at the old man in front of him, Xu Yuan glanced at the porcelain cup that Li Yucheng had just used, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly asked out loud:

"Elder Wang, what do you think of the prince?"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the son sitting opposite, groaned slightly, and said softly:

"I don't know what Childe is referring to?"

Xu Yuan lightly deducted the tea case and said softly:

"The prince has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, and Wang Lao is a pillar of the court, so he should know the prince quite well, right?"

"Human."

Wang Yuqian muttered, slightly considered his words, and said softly:

"Based on what Lao Chen has seen in the past ten years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a gentleman."

That is to say. Will he be a benevolent monarch? ”

“.”

The corners of Wang Yuqian's eyes jumped, and he didn't answer.

As an old oilman who has been up and down in officialdom for so long, he feels that he can't accept this.

But now the position of the ninety-five is undecided, and the meaning of what the son said is .

Noticing the old man's eyes looking at him, Xu Yuan immediately realized that he had lost his words, and turned to laugh in a low voice:

"You don't have to take it seriously."

Wang Yuqian nodded with a smile when he heard this, but the meaning of thought in his eyes was even stronger.

“.” Xu Yuan.

It's bad, and now it seems that the other party won't believe anything.

The old man had already reminded him before that every move he made now, even if it was a casual joke, the people below would read and understand it word by word.

He still hasn't been able to adapt to the change in his current identity.

While sighing softly in his heart, Xu Yuan suddenly heard the old man on the other side say in a slightly tentative voice:

"The third prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a gentleman in terms of being a man, and there is also a benevolent monarch among the courtiers in the court, and many of the decrees issued when he was in charge of the country are indeed related to the livelihood of the people."

Speaking of which,

Wang Yuqian bowed slightly before continuing:

"However, due to various reasons, these decrees have basically been rejected by the prime minister."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

And when Wang Yuqian saw this scene, his voice was much quieter:

"The reason for the refusal of Lord Xiangguo is that the cost of realizing these decrees is too great, and it is difficult to fall to the grassroots government."

Xu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, he understood the meaning of the other party's words.

Although on the surface, he was referring to the prince's decree as a bit unrealistic, but in fact, it was to remind him that Lord Xiangguo's attitude towards the prince was not good.

You're a son, take it easy.

Dumbfounded for a moment, Xu Yuan smiled lightly, with a faint smile:

"I know about this matter, this Xuanyue Tower is quite far away from the palace, Wang Lao, you should enter the court first.

"If it's too late,

"According to the rules of the court, you are afraid of being punished."

Wang Yuqian's body trembled slightly, his body became more and more rickety, and he bowed:

"It's the third son, the little old man retired first."

“.”

After watching the wooden door of the other party's wing close again, Xu Yuan's whole body lay directly on the slightly cold wooden floor, staring silently at the gorgeously decorated ceiling.

I don't know how long it took,

With a light sigh, Xu Yuan got up from the ground.

Now the three princes who are qualified to win the throne on the royal family, the eldest and the second, and the third have all been in contact with him.

If the father wants to carry out the original ideal, then he must choose one of them as the next cooperation.

Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is large, if there is no support from the royal family, with the current situation today, they are likely to repeat the mistakes in "Cangyuan" if they fight alone.

From an absolutely rational point of view, Li Zhaoyuan, who paved his way to the top with tens of millions of lives, is actually the most suitable to become the next emperor in today's situation.

It's been two months since I woke up,

Regarding Li Zhaoyuan, a lot of internal information about the war in the north of the Prime Minister's Mansion is indicating,

He had almost completely digested the soldiers he had borrowed from the sect.

moreover

Li Zhaoyuan had already begun to gradually get rid of the sect's control over him through the various military industries left by the Northern Sect.

Even with all the obstacles, his plans are advancing step by step under his control.

From all angles, the second prince Li Zhaoyuan is really Xiao's father, and this is undoubtedly the best partner to work with.

But it's a pity that Li Zhaoyuan is one who is excluded, whether it is out of personal emotions or the overall situation.

Even though he was now trying his best to get rid of the sect's control over him, it had already made it difficult for the Prime Minister to trust him anymore.

As for saying. Li Yucheng.

Xu Yuan walked slowly past the silk curtain and stood on the railing that he had previously stood with the prince.

At this time, downstairs in Xuanyue, the moonlight was like a waterfall, and the lights of thousands of homes in Di'an City had been extinguished, and the prosperous scenery that the two of them enjoyed together turned into a quiet.

"Lonely, I want to try."

The soft words spoken by the middle-aged prince subconsciously appeared in his mind, and Xu Yuan couldn't help but smile lightly, but the smile was a little helpless.

From Li Yunqing's side, he learned that Li Yucheng was actually very scheming, even his brother was still monitoring, but in fact, Xu Yuan didn't care about this.

The other party is in the center of power, if there is no city behind him, I am afraid that it will be played to death by others, and there is actually no conflict between the ruthless vigilance of political opponents and the benevolence of the world.

After talking overnight, Xu Yuan admired Li Yucheng's personality very much.

And

His words tonight seemed to plant a seed in the heart of the prince.

If it were a different time, a different place, and a suitable situation in the world, Xu Yuan might really be willing to accompany this prince to go crazy.

But it's a pity that the current world is not enough to support the other party's ambitions.

Xu Yuan knows very well that some things cannot be done if you want to.

Ambitions beyond reality,

It is an unrealistic dream that will squeeze the dreamer to pieces.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan sighed faintly, and subconsciously looked in the direction of Miyagi.

Thinking about it,

He still thinks that Li Yunqing's kid is the most suitable partner for the Prime Minister's Mansion
