Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Emperor Yan's eyes dropped slightly, as if he were thinking, "Aiqing has loved Qiqi since childhood, and I treat her like a daughter. Otherwise, how about you go to the north on behalf of me? The Duke of the kingdom is the Minister of my dynasty. If you go, the morale of the army will be high and you can kill several birds with one stone. "
Emperor Yan is not wrong about this. Yan Tianji fought on the battlefield step by step for half his life, glory, wealth and position. Now his four sons are in their prime, brave and good at fighting. He is still strong in guarding the border for Yan.
Nowadays, almost half of the millions of soldiers in the state of Yan are promoted by Yan Tianji. It is even no exaggeration to say that as long as Yan Tianji is still there, Da Yan will rest easy.
Before waiting for Duke Cheng to speak, Xu Shian stood aside, but his arm tightened slightly, his eyes narrowed and looked very nervous.
But I didn't expect that as soon as Emperor Yan's voice fell, Duke Cheng stood up and knelt on the ground. He said incisively: "I thank your majesty for his kindness, but I'm old and I'm afraid I can't travel a long way. Although I miss July 7th, as a great Yan people, I must take sharing his worries for your majesty and give up my family for everyone. It's my duty as a minister. I dare not forget my roots."
Emperor Yan looked at Yan Tianji with deep eyes. Maybe he didn't expect him to refuse and didn't speak.
After a while, he seemed to react and spat at the waiter standing next to him, "how many times have you seen something without eyesight? Don't go and help the Marquis up! "
After being scolded twice, the waiter didn't dare to complain. Then he hurriedly helped Yan Tianji up and slowly moved towards the chair.
"Aiqing has devoted himself to Dayan all his life. He is really a model for the courtiers and preaches my will. In the future, the Duke of the state does not have to bow down to me and give me a seat in the court."
Yan Tianji was in a panic for no reason. Emperor Yan's behavior style has always been like this. Those who follow others prosper and those who oppose others die. The more he dotes on anyone, the more ruthless he will turn over in the future.
Yan Tianji used his troops like a God. Naturally, he knew that arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Moreover, he always liked to be alert to danger in times of peace. Similarly, Emperor Yan held him high today. It is inevitable that one day if he finds his mistakes, he will be punished more severely than others.
It's a pity that there are many storms at the top. Don't go to the top of Qionglou. That's the truth.
He wanted to kneel down again, but was quickly held by the waiter on the side. He had to stand and refuse, "Your Majesty, don't overstep the rites of kings and ministers..."
Emperor Yan waved his hand and refused him. "Aiqing doesn't have to care. You can afford this honor, so it's decided."
"In that case, coupled with the inconvenience of Aiqing's legs and feet, I won't force you any more. In your opinion, is there a suitable candidate for this trip to the north to comfort the frontier soldiers?"
"This..."
"Your Majesty, the minister petitioned to go instead of the marquis."
Yan Tianji was still thinking about the candidate. Unexpectedly, Xu Shian, who had been standing quietly, volunteered.
Not only Yan Tianji, but even Yan Di was stunned.
"Xu Shian, it's a long way to go, with such a large amount of silver. The road is difficult. You are a civil servant with no strength to bind chickens. I'm afraid of you..."
Emperor Yan has the consideration of Emperor Yan. It has to be said that Xu Shian is several times stronger than his dead father. He is ruthless and vigorous. In just a few months, he has eradicated most of the troubles in Emperor Yan's heart, which is 100 times easier to use than he Donglai.
Emperor Yan felt that he was beginning to rely on him.
When I heard that he was going to leave, I was slightly dissatisfied and even suspicious. Was this boy accepted by the Duke? After all, had it not been for Cheng Guogong, he would have been afraid of Xu Shian because he was a relative.
After kowtowing to Emperor Yan, Xu Shian said, "Your Majesty doesn't know. All the files in Dali temple that need to be solved have been completed. Officials can't be superior. They should be more aware of the people's feelings. As a minister of the Ministry of household, if he doesn't work hard and doesn't share grain, how can he feel it if he doesn't see it with his own eyes along the way? To formulate good policies for governing the country and share your worries with your majesty? "
He said the truth one by one, and bluffed Yan Di.
The hall was quiet.
At this time, the superintendent of rites rushed in again, "Your Majesty, your Highness the prince asked for an audience."
Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Shian looked up at Emperor Yan's face. As expected, it was gloomy and could drip water.
Xu Shian's mouth aroused an inexplicable smile, and then disappeared.
Looking at the prince Yan luoqian who hurried in a hurry, Emperor Yan seemed to know what he was going to say, but he asked patiently, "what did the prince do here in a hurry because he wasn't well at the military plane?"
Since the last time the crown prince showed his feelings for Qi Qi in front of Yan Tianji, today is Yan Tianji's first time to see Yan luoqian. He feels that today's crown prince seems to be a lot calmer than usual. I don't know why the juvenile spirit on his face has been eliminated, and there is a dignified look on his face that is inconsistent with his age.
Yan Tianji just wanted to see Yan luoqian, but he held him down quickly. "Hou Ye doesn't have to be polite."
Then he turned and looked at Emperor Yan sitting high on the Dragon chair. His words were sincere, "report back to my father and Emperor. My son and Minister want to take the initiative to escort their pay to the frontier today."
Yan Di looked at his son, and all kinds of feelings surged into his heart. At the moment, he was very glad of his decision to send Yan Qiqi to the Northern Kingdom and relatives.
Qian'er still doesn't give up. For a woman, he ignores the noble status of the crown prince and wants to see her all day and night!
"Qian'er, do you know what you're talking about? You are the crown prince, and even the son of heaven after my great Yan. If you have three advantages and two disadvantages, don't you ignore all the people in the world? "
Emperor Yan said it with high sounding, but everyone here knows that the woman the crown prince likes is in the north, but the royal secret is never to be told in the open. Even if you know it, you can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Then I heard the prince say, "but as a prince, my father and son-in-law should be considerate of the emperor and the people. I can't be a 'deaf mute' prince!"
As soon as he said this, Emperor Yan's face turned black and became a piece of charcoal.
"What a coincidence. Xu Aiqing said the same thing just now."
