58, Xiangfu Night Banquet

The Prime Minister's Mansion set up another family banquet, probably because Yu Nian came back.

When An was tired of seeing her, she was wearing a red and white pomegranate skirt and sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard with Yu Jin and Yu Ru.

When she faced her brothers and sisters at home, she was not so bitter and hateful, and all her resentment seemed to be only directed against Yu Jingtang alone.

An Yan didn't know what she was thinking.

"I'm tired of my brother!" Yu Huanzhang and the others were also there, and when they saw An Yan, they smiled and waved his hand to signal him to come over.

"Some days are gone, tired of my brother." Yu Jin also opened his mouth with a smile.

Except for a few children, the younger generation all came together.

"Lord An is very busy, and I can't find you anymore when I become an official." Yu Huanzhang said leisurely.

Yu Jin said: "My brother is now in an important position, and he has to go to the queen of heaven every day, so he must be cautious in doing things, of course, he can't do nothing every day like you." ”

Yu Huanzhang pursed his lips when he heard this.

An smiled and said: "It's really been a little busy these days, so I'll invite Brother Huanzhang to drink another day." ”

"Don't you invite me if you're tired of my brother?" Yu Huanzhen said on the side, and deliberately winked at An Yan.

An Yan immediately understood, and said, "Naturally, please do it together!" ”

Yu Huanzhang and Yu Huanzhen smiled.

Yu Jin looked at them with bright eyes, and said to An Yan: "Brother I, these two people always do some serious things, don't learn from them!" ”

Yu Huanzhen was unhappy: "How can Sister Jin look at us like this!" ”

The two of them shook each other up there, watching the scene with disgust, and then looking at Yu Nian, who was still sitting in the pavilion and hadn't come.

Her face was not so cold today, but it was also very light, and her eyes glanced at the flowers and plants in the courtyard casually.

Wang Gui, the head of the house, walked over: "Young Master An, the master will let you go." ”

"Okay." An Yi nodded.

After An Yi left, Yu Jin glared at Yu Huanzhang and then Yu Huanzhen: "The two of you, you are not allowed to take your tired brother to a place like the brothel in the Qinglou!" ”

Yu Huanzhen's eyes widened, with an innocent and surprised face: "Sister Jin, what are these words!" How could I possibly go to that kind of place?! ”

Yu Huanzhang couldn't help but laugh out loud on the side.

Seeing this, Yu Jin waved his little fist and threatened: "What are you laughing at, I'm serious, if you dare to mess around, I'll tell my father...... No, tell the great uncle to go! ”

Yu Huanzhang said with a straight face: "Although our brothers are a little cynical, they have always hated that kind of pickled place!" ”

An Yan walked into the inner hall and saw Yu Jingtang, Yu Zongqian, and Yu Wenjian sitting there drinking tea.

Yu Jingtang's expression was faintly sad.

An suddenly thought that maybe it was because of the murder of Zheng Zhuoming, the assassin of Yanzhou, this Zheng Zhuoming came from Yu Jingtang's father's disciple, and he should have a good relationship with Yu Jingtang.

"My nephew has seen my uncle and two uncles."

"Sit down." When Yu Zongqian saw An was tired, he smiled and spoke.

Ann sat down on one side.

"Then the envoys of Qin and Han went to see the queen of heaven again, right?" Yu Jingtang asked.

An Yi nodded.

"What does the queen of heaven mean, is it different?" Yu Jingtang asked again.

As a living room, An Yan is often in front of the queen of heaven, and Yu Jingtang asks him some things in the palace, which is naturally the most convenient.

This Yu Jingtang is also against opening the Three Realms Pass.

An Yan groaned for a while, and did not answer directly, but said: "The envoy made a new condition, they heard that my Xuantang has not rained for three years, and promised to help us Shi Yun Buyu. ”

All three were shocked.

Yu Jingtang frowned even more, and he didn't continue to ask An What the Queen of Heaven meant.

Yu Zongqian asked, "What does it mean after that day?" ”

"The queen refused." Ann replied.

Yu Zongqian sighed deeply.

Yu Wenjian said: "My Xuantang country is rich and prosperous, even if there is a natural disaster, it is no problem to support these victims for a few years, but if it does not rain all the time, even if the national strength is prosperous, sooner or later it will be dragged down." ”

Yu Zongqian said: "If the Three Realms Pass is opened, it will undoubtedly bring disaster to the people of Xuantang and Tang Dynasty!" But if this continues, the people will be equally miserable, and they should hope for rain from heaven in the distance? ”

Yu Jingtang sat on the main seat and pondered silently, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he was also distressed by this.

"Since the envoy will come to find the eldest brother, presumably Shen Tuying and Pei Shihe should have also been there, and they may not be able to resist the temptation of this monster outside the gate."

"This is a crime of treason!"

"Once the Three Realms Pass is opened, will the country still be a country? Both of these can be accepted! ”

Yu Jingtang looked at An Yi, who was also silent, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian also stopped, and they all looked at An Yan.

An said disgustingly: "Uncle is asking me, should I open the Three Realms Pass?" ”

"Hmm."

"If they are asking for us, what are our concerns?"

Yu Jingtang frowned and said, "Go on." ”

An Yan said slowly: "If what they said about the spiritual disaster outside the customs is true, we can only let one person who can send clouds and rain in, if they are really to survive, then they will definitely not give up such an opportunity, the world is rumored to be chaotic outside the customs, I think they should not unite in the face of life and death only for the good of the family and the country." ”

"If you put this demon in, it would be best if you could solve the rain problem at the root at one time, and he could be killed when he ran out."

"If you can't, you can keep him as a rain tool."

Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian watched An Yan say these words without changing his face, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

An Yi knew the purpose of those monks outside the gate, and the spiritual disaster was only part of the reason.

But in doing so, it opens a gap.

Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan's eyes flickering, he didn't make a decision, just said, "It's time to eat." ”

Seeing this, Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian also stopped, got up with Yu Jingtang, and walked out.

At the banquet, they did not mention the matter, but talked with the family.

"Next year's spring, Huan Ting and Huan Qi should participate." Yu Zongqian said.

"Let them go." Yu Jingtang only said. "If you don't prepare enough, you will make a fool of yourself if you go."

Yu Wenjian sighed and said, "These two children are far away in Chang'an, so it must be very difficult to come." ”

These words made Yu Huanzhang pout secretly, and made a disdainful expression to Yu Huanzhen and An Yan, which seemed to mean that it was ridiculous that they were living a hard life in Chang'an.

Yu Wenjian frowned when he heard this: "Did you send them less money?" Neither is it bitter on their heads. ”

"Who will host next year's Spring Festival?" Yu Zongqian asked.

Yu Jingtang groaned slightly: "It's not decided yet, it should be Zhao Hanqin." ”

Yu Zongqian couldn't help but say: "Zhao Hanqin...... Isn't the qualifications sufficient? Wouldn't it be better to get rid of the public? ”

Yu Jingtang said indifferently: "Duke Xie is already old and is about to retire, his son Xie Linghan's talent is acceptable, but the political career will not be so smooth, I think Zhao Hanqin is quite suitable." ”

Yu Huanzhang and Yu Huanzhen were not interested in the elders discussing these things.

And An Yan understood a little.

Yu Jingtang's son Yu Huanting will come to participate in the scientific examination next year, and let Zhao Hanqin preside over the Spring Festival, which is to let Yu Huanting enter Zhao Hanqin's door.

Now that the position of Luantai Nayan is vacant, Zhao Hanqin, the waiter of Luantai, is the number one on Luantai's face.

An Yan already has some knowledge of the high-level of Xuantang.

The most important person in the power of Wenchen is naturally Yu Jingtang, the history of the Feng Pavilion and the left servant, and the protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the government and the opposition.

The second is Pei Shihe, who is the secretary of the ministry and the right servant, who also has the power and is the heavenly official (ministry), to some extent, his status is not lower than Yu Jingtang.

But because of the relationship between the queen of heaven, Yu Jingtang is still the first person in Wenchen.

Then there are all the Shangshu lords, except for Pei Shihe, they all stand in line, and the household department and the ritual department are all from Yu Jingtang's side.

Then there is Zhao Hanqin.

And Shentu wins, because he holds military power, is completely different from the Wenchen group.

After the family banquet, Yu Jingtang called An Yan to stay.

In the study.

An Yan closed the door and saw Yu Jingtang standing behind the desk with his back to him.

"Do you think the Queen of Heaven has any intention of opening the Three Realms Pass?" Yu Jingtang asked him.

"Shouldn't my uncle know the queen better than I do?" An Yan said.

Yu Jingtang sighed and said, "In the past two years, something has changed. ”

An Yan's heart moved slightly, secretly wondering if it would be because of the matter with Shen Tu Win.

After thinking about it, he said: "When the envoys of the two countries met the Queen of Heaven for the first time in the Fuluan Palace, they offered an elixir that could revive the dead, and the Queen of Heaven seemed to have intentions at that time, but the envoy said that the deceased must be allowed to take the medicinal herbs within seven days to have an effect, so the Queen of Heaven rejected them. ”

An Yan's meaning by saying this was to tell Yu Jingtang that the Queen of Heaven was not determined to refuse to open the Three Realms Pass, as long as those monks outside the gate showed enough conditions, she might change her mind.

Seeing that Yu Jingtang was silent, An Wei asked, "Uncle thinks that the method I proposed before will not work?" ”

Yu Jingtang was silent for a while: "Maybe it's a solution, but it's not a pure solution to the problem, it will bring more problems." ”

Yu Jingtang realized......

An was tired of thinking, and then felt that how could he not realize it, after all, he was the prime minister of the dynasty.

"What my uncle said is very true, but my nephew is not thoughtful enough."

He saw that Yu Jingtang was still frowning and thinking, and said, "It's better to wait for your uncle." ”

"Wait?"

"Wait a minute, Master Pei, and Zhenguo Gong." An Yan said.

"Didn't my uncle say that the envoys of the two countries might also go to them, maybe they would have some solution, if the matter was finally resolved, they would naturally be happy, and if it failed, it didn't matter about the uncle's business."

Yu Jingtang waited for An Yi to finish speaking, his cold and hard face was expressionless, and a pair of eyes stared at him.

After a long time, Yu Jingtang said coldly: "You want to open the Three Realms Pass? ”

An bowed down and replied without humility or arrogance: "Uncle, nephew has been a disaster victim. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Stand down. ”

"Yes, my nephew is leaving."

Walking out of the study, An Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He did this for only one purpose, to tie Yu Jingtang to his boat!
