"Master, the young lady has brought the eldest princess. She wants to see you."
The servant bowed back outside the door. In the small study, Yin Yan was writing something.
Hearing the message, he didn't lift his head. "Please come in. It's all a family. Why so much courtesy?"
The servant said quickly: "master, it's not the princess in our house, it's the princess of Zhenjiang. The eldest princess came with Marquis Gu today. She said that she had something to discuss with the eldest son. "
Yan Yan raised his head to look at the servant and slowly put the pen on the shelf.
"Princess Zhenjiang wants to see me. What can I do for you? It's not necessary to pay an ordinary visit. She's a female guest. She's served by the young lady and Princess Danyang. She doesn't have to come to see me. "
The servant thought, "the young lady said that she has something to see the master. It's not like an ordinary visit. Does the master want to see you?"
Yan Yan picked up the things on the book case and said slowly, "she's the eldest princess. I just have no job. How dare I refuse? Ask her to come in
He packed up his things and walked out. "I'll meet you in the main hall of the upper room."
"Yes, sir."
Yin Jikua led Yu into the main hall, and saw an old man sitting on the top. He was so thin that he was only a bone. It was obvious that Gu huaijiang was a few years old, but he looked very old.
Seeing Yu Fu, he got up slowly with his crutch.
After all, people who have been prime ministers for decades are calm and calm, and have little respect for Yufu, the so-called long princess.
Yu Fu took advantage of the situation and said, "don't be polite, old Prime Minister. You are an elder. Just sit and talk."
Yan Yan didn't refuse, "the princess, please sit down. The princess is a distinguished guest. Ji Yi, please cook tea for her."
Tea cooking and other small things have always been done by the servants. The prime minister's contacts were not without valuable status. Yin Yan never asked the young lady Yin Jiyi to cook tea in person.
This is where respect Yu Fu's identity, clearly want to support themselves.
Yin Jiyi also hoped to help Yu Fu say a few words here, but naturally he would not leave easily, "father, the eldest princess is easy-going and doesn't have to cook another tea -"
Yin Yan glanced at her sharply, "don't you go soon?"
Yin Jichu looked at Yu Fu's face, and the latter nodded slightly to her, and she stepped back.
After holding back the crowd, Yan Yan's expression became more and more alienated, "I don't know what happened when Princess Chang came to see me specially?"
He came straight to the point, and Yu Fu said, "the old prime minister must have heard about what happened in the Palace last night. Your majesty is still young, and sometimes you have some ridiculous ideas that need to be admonished by the old minister. Do you know if the old prime minister has the intention to admonish you? "
Yan Yan's face did not change, "the princess joked. I had already lost my office. Now I'm just an ordinary old man. How can I persuade your majesty? I don't even know what happened in the Palace last night. "
He pushed it clean, but Yin Jihe had already betrayed him.
Yu Fu laughed, "why should the old prime minister be so wary of me? I know that it is impossible for the old Prime Minister not to know what happened in the Palace last night. Nowadays, the imperial capital has been spread all over the streets. What's more, the old prime minister is in the prime minister's office, the center of the imperial capital's power? "
Yan Yan's eyes flashed and he didn't speak.
Yu Fu added: "the old Prime Minister and the general have always been at odds. I am the adopted daughter of the general. It's right that the old Prime Minister refuses to tell the truth. Although the old Prime Minister does not believe in the general, the general has always respected you as a prime minister with talent and courage. Like the general, I believe that you are loyal to the king. You can't be indifferent to his Majesty's Hu Wei. "
Yan Yan's face was slightly loose, "is that how Marquis Gu evaluated me?"
Yu Fu replied, "yes, the general has never been hostile to the old Prime Minister. On the contrary, he has always felt that when you were in office, you managed the court very well and could take on a great responsibility."
Yan Yan looked at Yu Fu seriously. On the first day of the new year, she wore a long plain white skirt and a black cape, elegant and pure.
In other people's eyes, such a dress is taboo, but in Yan Yan's eyes, she is very comfortable, knowing that she is filial to the emperor.
A princess who is not the blood of the former Emperor, she can still restrain the woman's natural love for beauty and serve the former Emperor as a vegetarian. Ning Chengzhi, however, indulges in banquets in the palace.
He spoke slowly, and his voice softened a little. "I heard that last night the eldest princess advised her majesty to have a moderate banquet to show respect for the former Emperor, and politely refused her Majesty's will. I want to tell you the truth today, but it's not for the sake of looking after the Marquis, but for the sake of her filial piety to the emperor and her integrity of not being greedy for glory. "
Yan Yan was finally relieved, and Yu Fu was also relieved.
She said: "in that case, I will tell the truth to the old Prime Minister. I am the one who was given marriage by the former Emperor to the son of marquis Gu. The son's disobedience to his father's will is disrespectful. Your Majesty's action is really disrespectful to the former Emperor. If the old prime minister thinks so, can he write to his majesty and advise him to change his mind? "
When Yin Yan heard this, he was sure that Yufu had come to ask him to dissuade his majesty from setting up his post.
Whenever she had a little bit of lust for the power and glory of the queen, she would not ask for her counterpart in guhou mansion. Yin Yan felt that she had misjudged her too much in the past.In his eyes, the woman with unknown origin and hidden conspiracy has such a spirit of despising power and position!
Yin Yan asked himself that he was more than 50 years old, but he could not compare with Yufu who had not yet reached the hairpin. It was really embarrassing.
He thought for a moment, "he who is a minister should admonish his majesty. But did Princess Chang find the wrong person? I have no right now. Even if I write to you, can you listen to me? Marquis Gu has a wide range of friends in the court, such as Mr. Ji and cabinet ministers. The princess should ask them to advise his majesty. "
Yu Fu said: "the old prime minister is among them. You should know who is the most trusted Minister of your majesty. The cabinet was established during the reign of the former Emperor, and now it has no power. Elder Ji is old, and the general has gone to the palace to admonish his majesty. If the old prime minister can persuade the Yin prime minister to remonstrate with his majesty, there will be Zhongzheng's old ministers in the court, and this matter will be very promising! "
Yan Yan's heart moved and fell into deep thinking.
……
Gu Shubai and Yin Shuo were drinking tea in the outer study.
The first time he came to the prime minister's residence, he looked around, and his mouth turned slightly up. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Yan Shuo seemed to know what he thought, "is the son of heaven thinking, how can I invite you to come to such an important place as the outer study?"
On the one hand, he pushed the cooked tea to Gu Shubai.
Gu Shubai said with a smile, "can't other courtiers come to the prime minister's office to enter the outer study? For example, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, Lord Liu Zhenliu
Yan Shuo took a deep look at him and didn't want him to explore the prime minister in front of him.
Gu Shubai said: "why did Prime Minister Yin look at me like this? In terms of the familiarity with each other's mansion, Prime Minister Yin is better
Yan Shuo also laughed, "yes, thanks to the generosity of marquis Gu. In the past, the generals were at odds with each other. My father didn't even bother to do superficial Kung Fu. He never invited people from guhou mansion to come in. Marquis Gu is different. Every time you invite a courtier to a banquet, you will get an invitation from the prime minister's office. Thank you for your invitation, so that I can get familiar with the situation of Hou's residence. "
"You know in your heart whether my father does superficial Kung Fu or sincerely hopes to govern Dongling peacefully. He allowed a man who designed to kill me to come to the front of the house and plead guilty, hoping that you could take the place of the old prime minister to govern Dongling well. "
Gu Shubai secretly warned him that they had long known that Yin Shuo was responsible for the poisoning and ambush in Changzhou government, but they let Yin Yan resign.
With a faint smile, Yan Shuo was not worried about Gu Shubai's loyalty. But Shizi -- "
" Shizi is here today. What can I do for you
Gu Shubai picked up the tea cup, and Yin Shuo waited for him to speak quietly, as if he knew what he was going to say.
"Others say that Prime Minister Yin is the most ruthless person. I don't know whether it's true or not?"
Yan Shuo was stunned. He didn't know why he asked, "who else? That's what Ji said. How can we be merciless? How can we be affectionate? How can we know that we can be affectionate? "
"I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about Yufu."
Yan Shuo's face suddenly changed, Gu Shubai looked in his eyes, and he could not escape the truth if he pretended again.
Even in a flash.
Yan Shuo tried his best to maintain his normal face, "the son of heaven came for the palace banquet last night. Your majesty wants to set up Yu Fu as the empress. The loyalty of marquis Gu's family naturally can't disobey the imperial edict. It's hard to be a son of the world. I can't help it. "
The four words of loyalty and righteousness came out of his mouth, which was ironic.
Gu Shubai said with a smile, "why should I ask you? Is it that the Prime Minister of Yin, who showed his heart to Yu Fu on the day of his wedding, now wants to be indifferent to the second volume
Yan Shuo's momentum suddenly decreased by three points.
Yu Fu has nothing to say to Gu Shubai, even she tells him such a private thing without reservation, but not to herself.
Thinking that they were under the same roof every day and were close to each other, Yin Shuo felt a fire coming out of his chest.
He said in a cold voice, "I like Yufu, but give up. I won't help you change your Majesty's mind."
Yan Shuo refused so cleanly, which Gu Shubai never thought of.
He pondered for a moment and understood Yin Shuo's mind.
He hated the house of marquis Gu. He also knew that everyone in the house of marquis Gu didn't want Yufu to be canonized. Even if the imperial edict came down, the house of marquis Gu was in front of him.
Yin Shuo could take advantage of himself, waiting to see the Marquis's house and Ning Chengzhi.
Gu Shubai sneered, "it seems that I overestimate your love for Yu Fu. At the beginning, Yu Fu clearly told you that you were not for concubine's room, not for continuation. You were still marrying Princess Danyang for power. Such a cheap love is really not worth the risk of offending your majesty
After that, he got up and didn't want to talk with Yin Shuo any more.
Yan Shuo immediately stood up, "don't think you really love Yu Fu. I've loved her since I first met her. I have no less feelings for her than you! It's a pity that it was Gu Hou's house that adopted Yu Fu, not the prime minister's house. If I had an engagement with her, I would have fought my life and wouldn't let you seal her! "Gu Shubai's smile was a little contemptuous, "why should Prime Minister Yin deceive himself? If you have an engagement with Yufu, you are also reluctant to give up your official position and power. So you are doomed not to get her, even what you have already got, and you can only hold your power and position in your life
Yan Shuo could not restrain himself, and his whole body trembled.
What he said he had got was nothing more than Princess Danyang and Yin Jihe, a wife who loved and hated him, and a sister who was used by him and treated badly by him.
They He doesn't care.
Yan Shuo suddenly laughed, "the son of the world doesn't have to use provocation. Since you like Yufu, you should be ready to pay for her. I won't dissuade your majesty for you."
"What if I let you go?"
Suddenly, the old man's voice came from outside the study. Yin Shuo was stunned, and the door of the study was pushed open.
Yin Yan stood outside the door and didn't know how long he had listened. Yu Fu stood behind him, and they came in one after another.
Thinking that his words had just been heard by Yan Yan and Yufu, Yan Shuo became angry and looked at the servant outside the door, "why don't you inform me when the master and the princess come?"
The servant was so scared that he bowed his head and didn't dare to agree. Yin Shuo was leaning on his cane, but he was thin and old, but his Majesty was still there. "It's none of his business. I won't let him report it. Why, can't I use a servant in my own house? "
This was quite dissatisfied with Yin Shuo, and Yin Shuo said, "father, son doesn't mean that, I mean..."
"That's not what I mean. Close the door!" Yan Yan turned back and cheered sternly.
The servant immediately closed the door, Gu Shubai was surprised that Yu Fu and Yin Yan appeared at the same time, looking at Yu Fu, Yu Fu gave him a reassuring look.
The eye contact between the two fell into Yan Shuo's eyes without accident, and his face moved.
In his eyes, Yin Yan hated iron but not steel.
His son, who had always been the most proud of him, was as sentimental as those dandy boys, and raised his mind to Yu.
No wonder he ambushed Gu Shubai in Changzhou to assassinate him. It turned out that he was not sharing his worries, but fighting for Yufu!
What makes him more intolerable is
"Shuo'er, why don't you agree to my son's request?"
Yan Shuo frowned, in front of Yu Fu's face, he could not repeat what he had just said.
He looked at Yin Yan in embarrassment. He didn't know what was the matter with him today. He embarrassed himself in front of outsiders, especially the people of Gu Houfu.
Yes, it must be something Yufu and Yin Yan said!
"You don't have to see the eldest princess. You just tell me why you don't want to answer the son's request?"
Yin Shuo hardened his head and said, "my father didn't always like Gu Houfu. Why do you want my son to help them today?"
Yan Yan knocked his walking stick on the floor tile clearly, "this is a private complaint, how can it be greater than a state affair? Your majesty wants to canonize the employed daughter as the queen, and the monarch seizes the minister's wife. This is a great crime criticized by the history books of future generations! As the prime minister, how can you not admonish your majesty? "
On the duty of standing up as a minister, Yin Yan never neglected that he was different from Yin Shuo.
In the face of his father's censure, Yin Shuo was extremely embarrassed.
He knew that as long as he stepped back, many things would be wasted, and he could not retreat.
Even if Yin Yan's own father asked him to retire, he couldn't.
He arched his hand and said in a deep voice, "father, please forgive my son for not being able to comply."
