69, against the heart

As soon as An Yan entered the palace, he learned the news from the Queen of Heaven that the rebels in Yanzhou had a civil strife, and its original leader Pei Xiao was assassinated by his subordinates, and then several powerful generals fought for sovereignty.

Pei Xiao was assassinated by his subordinates?

This is a coincidence!

An Yan felt that there was something strange about what was happening.

"An order has been issued to let Wu Shiwei march with all his strength and clear Yanzhou City within seven days!" The queen of heaven said.

"This Pei Xiao was really killed by his subordinates?" An couldn't help but ask.

"The exact reason is not yet known, and we have to wait for the spies sent to come back." Tianhou Road.

However, after this incident, Wu Shiwei no longer had a reason to delay his advance, and he could not say anything if he wanted to prevaricate and delay the war.

At first, An Yan also thought that Xuanyi Zhenren would use some outside forces to assassinate Pei Xiao, so that those rebels would inevitably be leaderless and unable to form an army, but this coincided with his thoughts.

At the end of the early dynasty, An Yi went to the Zilan Palace.

"Pei Xiao, the rebel leader of Yanzhou, is dead."

"I already know." Xuanyi is a real person.

An couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "You learned about it from the queen of heaven?" ”

Xuanyi Zhenren handed over a jade slip, An Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and the moment he touched it, a voice sounded in his mind.

"The scourge has been removed, and it will be carried out with all its might."

An Yan was shocked: "You sent someone to do it?" ”

Xuanyi Zhenren shook his head: "Someone did it themselves, and the current Xuantang is not suitable for civil strife, and it has blocked the way of too many people." ”

"Who?"

"I've told some people that they're doing these things."

"They're all monks?" Ann asked again.

Xuanyi Zhenren said slowly: "This huge Xuantang seems to be indeed an inexhaustible treasure of heaven and earth, monks are scarce, and there is no need to fight with each other, but people's qualifications are limited, and what a person does not have congenitally is extremely difficult to make up for the day after tomorrow, those who have lived for hundreds of years cannot see the way forward, so they need an earth-shaking change, seek opportunities in this chaos, and wait for a higher place." ”

An was speechless, and said for a long time: "Chaos is a ladder." ”

"Not bad." Xuan Yi Zhenren said, "But the chaos before this may cause a big deal, and they will remove these obstacles on their own, without us taking action." ”

An Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, and then smiled: "It seems that the matter of the Three Realms has attracted the attention of all parties in the Xuantang cultivation world, but there are many participants, aren't you worried that in the end, things will be out of our control?" ”

"I, Xuanzhen, am the only Taoist in the Xuantang Dynasty, those people are just idle cultivators, and some of them have started their own sects in private, but how can they compare to my thousands of years of inheritance." Xuanyi Zhenren said indifferently.

"The most important thing is that we have divas, and they can only rely on us to have soup to drink."

In the evening, An Yan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion first.

Yu Jingtang didn't come back, and heard Wang Gui say that he went to Wenren's mansion.

An Yan waited quietly in the study, took a book in his hand, and read it while drinking tea.

It was getting dark very quickly.

"I heard that you rarely go to Wentang Pavilion today." Yu Jingtang's figure suddenly appeared at the door.

An Yan put down the book, gave a salute and said, "My nephew also reads a lot at home. ”

Yu Jingtang bowed his head slightly: "Even if you enter the office, don't waste your literary career, I will ask Wang Gui to send you a few more books when I go back." ”

"Remember, nephew."

Yu Jingtang walked to the main seat and sat down: "What's the matter with you?" ”

An Yan stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Is it because of Yanzhou that my uncle went to his father-in-law's house?" ”

Yu Jingtang looked stunned and muttered, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Does Uncle know how the rebel leader Pei Xiao died?"

Yu Jingtang shook his head slowly: "Someone has been sent to investigate." ”

"It was made by the queen of heaven."

"What did you say?" Yu Jingtang raised his head suddenly.

"It was the queen of heaven who privately sent someone to assassinate Pei Xiao." An Yan looked at Yu Jingtang and said calmly.

Yu Jingtang's eyes showed surprise, and he looked at the teacup on the table for a long time.

His expression changed, and he asked for a long time: "How did you know about this, and the queen of heaven didn't shy away from you?" ”

An Yan said: "It was the queen of heaven who told me personally." ”

“……”

An Yan continued: "The intention of the Queen of Heaven is to tell my uncle through my mouth, and the Queen of Heaven also asked me to ask my uncle, if Shen Tu wins and falls, does my uncle have a candidate to replace him?" ”

However, to An's surprise, Yu Jingtang was not happy when he heard this, but sat on the seat a little weakly, looking stunned.

He thought left and right: "Uncle? ”

Yu Jingtang looked at him and asked in a daze: "Queen of Heaven, do you really say that?" ”

An Yi's heart turned sharply, and then nodded slightly.

Yu Jingtang was silent and said no more.

An Yan asked, "Uncle, aren't you happy?" ”

Yu Jingtang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, and his cold and hard face looked more and more vicissitudes now.

"Happy, why am I not happy?" He said indifferently.

"Shen Tu wins arrogance and luxury, supports the army and self-respect, if the queen of heaven has this heart, it will benefit the country and the people!"

An Yan asked, "Then how do I reply to the diva?" ”

Yu Jingtang was silent for a while: "...... Wait, wait for Yanzhou to rebel ......"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his words, and then said to An Yan: "Before you enter the palace tomorrow morning, come to me...... I'll give you another answer. ”

“…… Be. ”

"You go back first." Yu Jingtang waved his hand.

"My nephew is gone, and my uncle is resting early."

An Wei bowed and retreated, still thinking about it after leaving the study.

Why did Shen Tu Ying fall, but Yu Jingtang didn't look so happy?

Obviously, he was still planning this before, could it be that he was still thinking about the old relationship?

But no matter what, Xuan Tang's military power, An Yan must be controlled in his hands, or let Yu Jingtang hold it, this is the safest thing.

Otherwise, even if the Three Realms Pass is opened in the future, there will still be unpredictable things.

Early the next morning, when An was about to go out, he saw Wang Gui, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, coming to the house.

"Young Master An, this is for you."

Wang Gui respectfully handed over an envelope.

An Yan opened it and looked at it, and there was only a simple name on it.

Jiang Ting.

An Yan thought about it seriously, and remembered that this person was the maiden brother of Yu Jingtang's wife, the Jiang family, and Minglan was the maid of the Jiang family, who helped deal with it.

Jiang Ting's official position is not high, but Meng Zuyin also has a third-class dukedom, and he is still a martial artist.

"The chief manager of the king of labor has returned to his uncle, and his nephew knows." An Yan put away the envelope and said to Wang Gui.

Yu Jingtang didn't know what he thought in his heart, but now he seems to agree.

It is difficult for him and Wen Renyun to bring down Shen Tu to win, but with the current An Yan, it is different.

Inside the Fuluan Palace.

"You want to get Shen Tu out of power?" The queen of heaven looked at An Yi in amazement.

"For ...... Why? ”

"Before opening the Three Realms Pass, the military power must be in our hands."

The Queen of Heaven was stunned and said: "However, my will, he will not be disobedient, I want to open the Three Realms Pass, and if I want to do anything, he will also obey and support it." ”

An Yan said: "The military power is not in his hands, after all, it is not a safe plan, he will not resist the decree now, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no dissent in the future, once the Three Realms Pass is opened, the world will change." ”

"Yes...... However...... "The queen of heaven still wants to say something, but she is a little short of words when facing An Disgust."

She got up from the bed and walked to the side, her back to Ann.

"Why, don't you want to?" An Yan stepped forward and asked.

“……”

The queen of heaven was silent for a long time before she said: "Shen Tuying's power in the DPRK and China is intertwined, even if it is me, it is impossible for him to step down so easily, but it will cause his subordinates to counterattack." ”

"You can let my uncle's people replace his people little by little." An Yan said.

"If this court becomes a family name, the courtiers below will also become taboo-free." The queen of heaven said.

An Yan said calmly: "There is always a time when one side loses power and one side gains power in the party struggle, and it is good to do other things in the future, and what we need to do now is to take back the military power." ”

The queen turned to look at him, and there were waves of light flowing in her beautiful eyes.

"You...... Can't you really tolerate him? ”

"You're reluctant?" An asked with a frown. "What is the special relationship between you and him?"

"What nonsense." The queen of heaven shook her head, "Shen Tu Ying's loyalty to the first emperor is unique through the ages. ”

"The First Emperor is dead."

The queen of heaven was a little stunned.

An Yan pondered for a while, and said: "When Shen Tuying recommended Wu Shiwei as a general, you knew the calculation behind all this, but you still agreed, as a diva, you actually took the life and death of the people of Yizhou as a child's play!" ”

“…… If Pei Xiao wants to achieve great things, it is impossible to do things that hurt the people. The queen of heaven's eyes moved lightly and said slowly.

An sneered: "The queen of heaven is really sympathetic to the courtiers, what about the dead soldiers?" ”

The queen of heaven did not answer this question, but said: "Shen Tuying's subordinates are a little arrogant, but he shouldn't end up like this...... I can make him surrender his military power, return it to me, and let him go into the wilderness. ”

"I'm afraid that just the name of Zhenguo Gong can command the army of the world, how can I rest assured of such a person?"

“……”

The queen of heaven was silent, and the Fuluan Hall fell silent.

Inside the Purple Orchid Palace.

"You're thinking a little simple."

Xuanyi Zhenren said to An Yan.

"Shen Tu wins this person, the queen of heaven is too indulgent to him, and now, even the queen of heaven and Yu Jingtang are difficult to bring him down, his power in the court has been damaged at all, even if Shen Tu wins doesn't do anything, his subordinates will not agree."

An Yan frowned and said: "There is always a chance, we are not in a hurry, my uncle's power is also not small, just eat it up slowly." ”

"The people of the DPRK are not fools, once there is a movement in the Queen of Heaven, they will definitely be able to guess what is happening, if the Queen of Heaven and Yu Jingtang really stand in the same team, they will force Shen Tu to win and rebel."

An Yan groaned: "Will Shen Tu win the opposite?" ”

Xuanyi Zhenren said slowly: "It doesn't matter if Shen Tu Ying will win, those old subordinates of his will rebel, Shen Tu Ying still has a son, and even when the time comes, Shen Tu Ying's life will not matter." ”

An Yan frowned and thought about it.

"You are wrong about one thing, it is not that Shen Tu Ying relies on the Queen of Heaven to have today's position, it is the Queen of Heaven who relies on Shen Tu Ying to sit in the court for more than ten years, this court seems to be divided into parties, it is nothing more than Shen Tu Ying, Yu Jingtang, Pei Shihe, how do you know that no one has a heart to Chang'an?"

Also, it's true
