Chapter 82 Ancient Times ([-]) Qingming Festival

After Yan Jin was grounded, he probably restrained himself a bit.

Yan Nanxu took over the follow-up matters of the mountain from the emperor. In the past few days, he was busy dealing with the bad situation there and trying his best to restore the mountain to life.

At the same time, Yan Nanxu has also been paying attention to the movements of the third prince Yanze. After all, according to the original plot, he is Yanjin's biggest political enemy. If he can be brought down, the basic task will be half completed.

The third prince, Yan Ze, was basically raised as an heir, and the power of the mother clan should not be underestimated. To be honest, you can't find anything wrong with Yan Ze alone, but the task is just that.

After all, no one is perfect, especially in this kind of royal family. After many investigations, Yan Nanxu found some clues. The personnel in Yanze Mansion are different. Yes, the record does not belong to him.

Yan Nanxu had a feeling in his heart, and tried to check the army's weapon establishment, and the result was as expected.

"Host, what is the third prince doing?" The system is unclear.

"Privately raise soldiers."

Those personnel are basically not affiliated with the local area, and armor and other things are hung in the regular military establishment. As a prince with real power, these are not difficult.

The system cheered: "Private soldier, that's great, then we have caught the handle."

This is indeed a clue, but in fact Yan Nanxu is not surprised by this. It is very normal for the prince to raise private soldiers, and he even feels that Yanjin probably also has private soldiers.

"Host, what should we do next? Tell the emperor directly about this, or secretly reveal it to the protagonist in private?"

The system feels that this is already a big gain, but Yan Nanxu shook his head and said: "Don't make any moves for now, the number of Yanze's private soldiers is unknown for the time being, and we don't have much evidence. It will be easily caught by others."

This matter needs a long-term plan, and it cannot be rushed. As for Yanjin... He had already shown obvious hostility to himself last time, and Yan Nanxu was still considering whether to tell him this clue.

However, before Yan Nanxu had the opportunity to contact Yanjin again, a big news suddenly came from the court——Yanjin took the initiative to ask the emperor to go to the border to join the army.

The emperor was also surprised by this request, but after reading the letter from Yanjin, he said that he was determined to change his past, and hoped to go to the front line to experience the suffering of people's livelihood. Go to the frontier.

Since ancient times, it is not a strange thing for a prince to go to the front line to make meritorious service, and it should even be said that it is the most serious way to make meritorious deeds.

Naturally, the environment in the frontier was not much better. The emperor felt that his son had finally changed his behavior, and he was quite relieved. He personally saw him off, and specially wrote a letter to the King of Southern Sichuan who was at the front line, expressing that the banquet had just arrived and the army was strictly disciplined. There is no exception, but in private, please ask him to take care of him more.

"Host, is this a good thing?"

"It is indeed the safest way to ascend to the throne." This method is probably the most suitable for the one who justifiably becomes the emperor, but it takes a long time. Although Yanjin can gain access to military power earlier, it is still right to stay away from the political center for a long time. self disadvantage.

However, since Yan Jin dared to write a letter and leave, he probably already had his own arrangements in the capital, and Yan Nanxu would still help him no matter what.

So overall it's a good thing.

But to be honest, Yan Nanxu was a little surprised by Yanjin's decision. After all, he felt that Yanjin's character is not a person who likes Xu Xuzhi after being in contact for so long. In the original plot, he also directly chose the coup to usurp the throne.Yan Jin prefers a direct method that can see the results quickly, and such a move is really not like his style of doing things.

Yan Nanxu is temporarily skeptical about his intentions.

The emperor specially arranged Yanjin in the military camp of the King of Southern Sichuan, so Yan Nanxu euphemistically expressed his concern for the seventh prince in his father's letter, hoping that his father could tell him anything.

Although King Sichuan didn't know why his eldest son was suddenly interested in this, it wasn't a big deal, so he readily agreed.

At the same time, Yanjin had just arrived at the frontier, just as the last battle plan had begun.The foreign people's food and grass have been cut off for several days, and it is time to retake the occupied city.

Soon, good news came from the border. Our army defeated the foreign army and took back the city!

And the Seventh Prince Yanjin, who had just arrived at that time, also participated in the battle, and his performance was very brave, which was highly appreciated by the King of Southern Sichuan.

After the capital received the news, Emperor Longyan was overjoyed and ordered to reward the border officers and soldiers, and the whole court celebrated together.

Yan Nanxu also received a letter from the King of South Sichuan, in which he praised Yanjin’s performance, saying that he was young, promising and extremely smart, and he was very active in participating in various activities, and often liked to come to discuss military strategies with the King of South Sichuan. The two chatted happily.

"Host, is the protagonist trying to win over King Sichuan?" the system analyzed.Maybe Yanjin saw that Yan Nanxu couldn't win over him, so he chose to go to King Sichuan directly?The King of Sichuan Nan has a long-standing reputation in the military and is really a good partner.

Yan Nanxu couldn't deny this. Judging from the current situation, this was indeed the most reasonable explanation.

However, Yan Nanxu noticed that King Chuannan mentioned Yanjin's personal matters at the end.

Yanjin seems to have an affair with a foreign woman.It is not that there are no cases of intermarriage between people and foreigners in the border areas. Basically, one-third of the population in the border cities is of mixed race, so the King of Southern Sichuan was not too surprised when he found out about this matter. In the end, it was a private matter, and the prince There is nothing wrong with having a confidante, but I just mentioned it to my son as gossip in the family letter.

Yan Nanxu paused when she saw this information, and asked the system: "Is this foreign woman mentioned in the original plot?"

"No, the original plot doesn't have the protagonist going to the frontier. There aren't many female characters. What's wrong with the host?"

Yan Nanxu hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly shook his head to express that it was nothing.

In fact, Yan Nanxu just felt that with Yanjin's character, he would not do anything that was not beneficial to him. Just like Qin Xianwan at the beginning, Yanjin had no feelings for her and was just using her, so how could he suddenly like her? The last foreign woman?
However, no one can say for sure, and Yan Nanxu cannot go to the border to investigate just because something is wrong.

In his letter at home, King Sichuan said that there will probably be no more fighting on the border this year. He will definitely go home before Qingming Festival, and maybe he can take his two children with him for an outing.

This is the first time King Sichuan has taken the initiative to mention his youngest son in his letter.

Yan Nanxu was overjoyed, and specially called his younger brother to tell him that his father would come back this Qingming Festival and take him out for an outing.

Yan Yousi's eyes were full of surprises, and she kept confirming to her brother again and again that even though her father had never shown closeness to her, in the heart of a child, he would always expect the love of his parents.

After hearing the news, I was very happy for a long time. From then on, I counted the days and looked forward to the Qingming Festival every day.

The vernal equinox is about to pass, and the Qingming Festival is coming.

However, on this leisurely and leisurely spring day, a devastating news came from the border──
Yanjin, who was in the barracks, opened the gate of the city on a rainy night, joined hands with foreigners, and defeated the army of the dynasty in one fell swoop. Foreign cavalry entered the pass, and blood flowed everywhere they passed!
