"Ai Qing, don't panic. There's no definite news yet. Remember not to mess up your hands and feet and make yourself in a mess. I can order people who can trust to go to the north country to inquire about the reality. The mountains are high and the road is far. Even if there is a war, the armaments and materials can't be prepared immediately. We need to think about it in the long run."
Emperor Yan was very oppressed. He clearly didn't want Yan Tianji to lead the army. However, he had to speak beautifully.
He looked straight at Yan Tianji, with more warning. "Moreover, the northern kingdom is still a subsidiary of Yan. Even if they have a thief's heart, they don't have the courage to hurt 77."
Emperor Yan originally wanted to comfort Cheng Guogong. Unexpectedly, when it came to this, a terrible idea welled up in his heart.
What if Yan Qiqi suddenly died in prison?
If the Northern Kingdom really killed Yan Qiqi, it would be a good opportunity for the whole Yan!
It has been a long time since he wanted to completely take the rivers and mountains of the northern kingdom into his own hands. If Yan Qiqi, the close princess, really died, he would have a reason to start a military expedition. In order to avenge his beloved daughter, Yan Tianji would certainly regard the emperor of the Northern Kingdom as a great enemy and kill his red eyes. After thinking about it, he could give Yan Tianji military power as long as he took over the northern kingdom, It's much easier to deal with a minister.
Once this crazy idea becomes a type in the heart, it will take root and start to grow wildly.
For a moment, the measurement in his heart had already had results, and Emperor Yan's look turned from worry to joy.
He was thinking about how to make his plan look seamless, but he didn't expect to stand up again.
"Your Majesty, I feel that although the Duke is in a hurry to say something, it is not completely unreasonable." The trembling tone was very slow, but it was enough to ease the tense atmosphere in the hall.
It's none other than Jia Yong, the great scholar of Yuehui hall, the pen writer of Sanpin Hanlin, the grandfather of the crown princess, and a generation of great Confucianism.
As soon as he spoke, the situation in chaotang became subtle.
Everyone knows that before Yan Qiqi was given marriage and marriage by the emperor, Yan luoqian, the crown prince of the state of Yan, liked Yan Qiqi very much and was imprisoned for half a month because Yan Qiqi offended Emperor Yan.
Although later, with Yan Qiqi's distant marriage, the prince married Jia Liusu, Jia Yong's direct granddaughter, as his imperial concubine, this unique affair disappeared, but today, the prince met Xu Cheng again in the court, which made Yan Di unhappy.
Just after everyone thought that this matter would put on a hat for the crown prince that people who love beauty do not love rivers and mountains, Jia Yong actually stood up to speak for the crown prince and Yan Tianji.
Yan Tianji and the prince looked at each other, and their faces were inexplicable.
Not only Yan Tianji, but also the prince himself was a little confused when he heard Jia Yong speak.
He thought he was not good to the crown princess at all. Even on the day he returned, he only ordered his entourage to prepare gifts. He didn't accompany Jia Liusu to visit the grandpa at all.
Why should he intervene in something that ordinary people can't avoid? Yan luoqian was really confused.
At this time, Emperor Yan was even more surprised. He also wanted to know why Jia Yong, a great scholar with clear sleeves and eyes higher than the top, also wanted to speak for Yan Tianji. He tried to make his voice sound kind, "why did Jia Aiqing say that?"
"Your Majesty, although the old minister is mediocre, he has seen some people and things since he became an official in the dynasty for many years, and so has Duke Cheng. He has returned to the field for more than ten years. Since the Northern Kingdom surrendered to our Dynasty, under the protection of our Dynasty, he probably forgot what style Duke Cheng used to gallop on the sand field."
It is no exaggeration to say that when Yan Tianji killed the enemy with blood on the battlefield, it was like the arrival of the God of Luocha. No matter how treacherous the troops were, Yan Tianji could kill them all.
This is probably to explain Cheng Guogong's behavior of drawing his sword against Xu Guogong just now. It is also to beat Xu Guogong and make him pay attention to his discretion. After all, the current Xu Guogong can't be compared with Yan Tianji.
The power of life and death is in his hands.
"Father..."
"Your Majesty, the old minister's idea is the same as that of the crown prince. It's more important to investigate first. In case it gets out of control, Duke Cheng will make the most correct choice. If the Duke can't keep his daughter from spreading, how can people all over the world believe that the Duke can protect all the people in the world?"
Without a small family, how can we come? This is the explanation given by Hongru to Emperor Yan.
Yan luoqian was about to speak when Jia Yong interrupted him and took advantage of the situation to pull them to the same front.
Yan Di's expression was dark and unclear. He stared at the people standing at his highness, and didn't speak again for a long time.
"Well, first send someone to inquire about the truth. From now on, Duke Cheng begins to train his officers and men and is ready to be sent at any time."
"My emperor is wise!"
When the meeting was over, it was midnight, and the Chamberlain rushed to the hall of supreme harmony.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to bed... Imperial concubine Qin has sent someone to say that if your majesty doesn't sleep again, she will be angry..." now the most favored imperial concubine in the back palace is still Yunqin. What other imperial concubines dare not say is not a matter here.
Emperor Yan is also in a trance now. Since the death of the legitimate son of the cloud family, the Qin imperial concubine has become more and more considerate. She is not only considerate in her daily company, but also makes extra efforts in her sexual affairs every night. Emperor Yan will be overwhelmed with all kinds of flattery.
Emperor Yan is old after all, but also has more than enough heart and less strength. He suffers from back pain every day. Emperor Yan is also tired. He didn't lift his head and ordered the Chamberlain to say, "go back to imperial concubine Qin and say I want to review the memorial. I won't go tonight and let her rest earlier."
As soon as the waiter left, Emperor Yan spread out the documents that Xu Shian had just sent six hundred miles. After thinking about it, he picked up his pen and stained it with cinnabar, and wrote only one word - "kill".
……
The courtiers dispersed in twos and threes and left in carriages. Yan Tianji was no exception. The frost fell heavily in winter and the white jade steps were very slippery. His highness took care of his cold illness and specially sent an escort.
"My Lord, stay." Yan luoqian caught up with him at last.
