Yan Yuan looked at Lord Song.

Lord Song looked very proud.

He was sure that Yan and An would like this proposal.

The emperor will definitely agree.

Sure enough, Emperor Rong Sheng began to weigh the Minister of War's proposal.

Now, only Yan and An are fifth-rank guards in Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

Marquis Yong'an is a hopeless case. The news that he favors his concubine and kills his wife has even reached the palace. There is nothing to be afraid of.

The Prince of Xiang was an idle prince who had been away from the court for many years.

Even the Marquis of Yong'an dared to slap the face of the Princess of Xiang, which shows how indifferent the Prince of Xiang is.

"Yan Yu'an, listen to my orders. I order you to be the military supervisor of the Northwest. You will set off tomorrow."

Yan Yu'an knelt down and said, "I accept your order!"

The ministers were all confused.

When did Song Hao, this old fox, become so kind?

A fifth-rank guard suddenly became a military supervisor and competed with Jiang Huai. What was Song Hao planning?

But he didn't expect that the emperor would follow his lead in making trouble.

Only Lin Muheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan and An are the best candidates.

He is brave, resourceful, skilled in martial arts, loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

There is another person like this, Jiang He!

But Emperor Rong Sheng would not allow a tiger to become a threat to him, so he asked Jiang He to help Jiang Huai.

Of course there are other candidates, but Emperor Rong Sheng would not really find someone who doesn't get along with Jiang Huai.

Internal strife is no joke, as the northwest is the gateway to Daqing.

The loss of the Northwest will eventually lead to the destruction of Daqing.

Emperor Rong Sheng is suspicious but he is not stupid.

But this candidate cannot be proposed by Lin Muheng.

Seeing Song Hao's pride, Lin Muheng was also surprised why Song Hao would take the initiative to bring it up.

He is like a seasoned expert in the court.

It is not clear which side to support.

After the court session ended, Song Hao deliberately walked at the end.

Everyone had something to ask him, but he had to give up.

No one dared to form cliques in the palace.

When Song Hao saw Prince Yu coming, he immediately quickened his pace.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, what do you think of my recommendation?" Song Hao asked with a smile.

Lin Muheng said: "Nothing."

Song Hao smiled and lowered his voice, "Then Prince Yan is the person you want to recommend, right? I recommended him as the Northwest Military Supervisor in the court today, which helped you a lot."

Lin Muheng smiled and said, "Lord Song, you are joking. Whether Guard Yan goes to the northwest or not has nothing to do with me."

After saying this, he left without waiting for his reply.

But in the invisible place, the corners of his mouth were curled up wildly.

This Song Hao really knows how to read people's expressions.

He remembered this favor.

Although Lin Muheng had not had much contact with Prince Yan, he knew that he was a man of blood.

The people sent by the court must not be there to cause trouble.

Once the army is divided, it is an opportunity for the enemy.

Everyone knows the emperor's intention.

It's just to send people to contain Jiang Huai.

We cannot allow the Northwest to be controlled by Jiang Huai alone.

Lord Song was not annoyed when he saw that Lin Muheng did not say a word to him.

Your Majesty is trying to avoid suspicion!

However, Song Hao is not afraid. The emperor will not suspect him just because he said a few words to Lin Muheng.

It is a well-known fact that the Minister of War never takes sides.

Looking at Lin Muheng's back, Song Hao laughed a few times, which attracted people's attention.

After Song Hao turned around and left, he was secretly calculating in his mind.

The recommendation of Prince Yan not only helped Prince Yu a lot, but also left a good impression in front of the Emperor.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!

The emperor didn't say anything, but he immediately issued an order in the court to let Prince Yan go to the northwest, which showed that he was very satisfied with this man.

Song Hao knows very well that the officialdom is like a battlefield and he must always keep a clear head.

The reason why Song Hao was able to rise from a centurion to the current Minister of War is not only because of his bravery and good fighting skills, but also because of his flexible mind and extraordinary ability to understand people's hearts.

He voluntarily surrendered his military power when he was at the height of his power.

The emperor wanted to send a signal to the generals who commanded heavy troops, that even if the generals no longer led the troops, the emperor would make proper arrangements for them.

Song Hao has also thought things through this matter.

He not only gave Prince Yan an opportunity, but also found a backer for his daughter.

Song Hao believed that as long as Yan Yuan had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, it was only a matter of time before he would make meritorious contributions.

He is brave, resourceful, and very sincere.

So marrying my daughter to Yan Yuan is a certainty.

Song Hao never doubted it.

The more he investigated Yan Yu'an these days, the more he appreciated him.

It is hard to find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.

Song Hao walked at a leisurely pace. He was thinking that he must tell his wife to get along well with Madam Yan.

No matter what method is used, Yan and An cannot be engaged to others.

When Song Hao returned to the mansion, his wife immediately came to greet him: "Husband! What good news is there today?"

They have been married for more than 20 years and can tell each other's mood with just a glance.

Song Hao told Mrs. Yan that Yan Yu'an was going to the northwest, and Mrs. Yan became worried. "Can Prince Yan handle going to the northwest battlefield?"

Mrs. Song knew that Prince Yan had been bedridden for three years.

If Lord Song knew about this at that time, he would definitely go find a doctor and ask for medicine to save his benefactor.

There was one more thing that Song Hao did not tell his wife.

Prince Yan was saved by Princess Yu.

Given Prince Yan's character, he will definitely repay this kindness.

Princess Yu is Yan Yu's savior.

From now on, Song Hao will also regard Princess Yu as his savior.

In other words, from now on, Song Hao will have to take sides.

Prince Yu is the one he wants to serve.

Of course, these things cannot be said yet.

The lady will be anxious.

When the imperial power changes, if you don't take sides and don't offend anyone, you may be able to survive.

However, as long as the throne changes its owner, you will not get any benefits.

Song Hao's position as Minister of War was not stable, let alone any further progress.

Otherwise, how could so many people rush forward to strive for the honor of following the dragon?

Prince Yu has been gaining momentum in recent years, and now with the powerful General's Mansion, he has become even more powerful.

In terms of ability, Prince Yu is better than other princes.

Song Hao felt that he would not lose by betting on Prince Yu.

Of course, this cannot be said openly.

"Madam, don't worry. I think that Prince Yan is in good health now. He will surely achieve great things in the northwest." Song Hao consoled her. "Besides, with the mighty general taking care of him, he will be fine."

Mrs. Song felt relieved for a moment, and then asked, "What about the marriage? Let's find a chance to talk to Mrs. Yan about it as soon as possible."

Song Hao nodded, "I have my own ideas on this matter, just do as I say." He secretly calculated that although he couldn't stand on the side of Prince Yu openly now, he could first get closer to the Yan family. When the time was right, he would express his feelings to Prince Yu.

However, Song Hao didn’t know that his proposal almost killed Prince Yan.

*

Yan Yu'an went to take over from Commander Li and handed over the tasks at hand.

Commander Li congratulated Prince Yan with a wry smile.

Yan and An looked at him.

I remember the first time I served under Commander Li.

Commander Li disliked him in every way.

He is just a descendant of aristocratic family who came here by parachuting in.

Later, Prince Yan's performance was not as bad as Commander Li had imagined.

He was the first one to come to work every day, and except for his days off, he spent almost all his time in the palace.

The key is that his martial arts skills are also not weak.

It can compete with rivers.

However, the two of them never regarded each other as rivals.

What surprised Commander Li was that Prince Yan treated Jiang He like his own brother.

The care was meticulous.

Jiang He felt a little ashamed.

No matter what good thing happened, the first person Yan Yuan thought of was Jiang He.

Yan Yuan was happier than anyone else when Jiang He was promoted to deputy commander. His series of actions made Jiang He feel unworthy of the position.

Yan Yuan never cared. As long as it was good for Jiang He, he would support it unconditionally.

These things surprised Commander Li, but he was no longer surprised after seeing them so many times.

People who don't know Yan Yu'an, after seeing what he did, will think he has nothing to do with military generals.

For example, Yan Yu'an was on duty when he heard a commotion. He went to check and found that several palace maids were bullying a young eunuch.

Yan Yu'an immediately stepped forward to stop the palace maids and rescued the little eunuch.

The young eunuch was so grateful that he knelt on the ground and thanked them repeatedly. Yan Yuan helped him up and asked what happened. The young eunuch cried and said that he accidentally soiled the clothes of the palace maids and was bullied by them in every way.

Yan Yu'an was furious after hearing this. He turned to the palace maids and shouted, "You bully the weak like this, do you still have any compassion?" The palace maids were so scared that they lowered their heads and kept silent.

But no one was convinced.

They don't bully the weak.

It was so disgusting to see those nasty eunuchs touching them.

Meeting this honest little eunuch today, of course I have to vent my anger.

Yan Yu'an knew that there were always some unfair things in the deep palace.

However, many people are afraid of offending others and pretend to turn a blind eye.

Yan Yuan, however, could not stand this kind of behavior of the strong bullying the weak.

He turned to the young eunuch and said, "You don't have to be afraid. If anyone bullies you again, just come to me." The young eunuch was deeply moved and knelt down and kowtowed again.

This scene happened to be seen by Commander Li who was passing by, and he couldn't help but feel more admiration for Yan Yuan.

In the palace, it is better to have less trouble than more, which is the life creed of most people.

Because in the palace, even a small maid doesn’t know who the noble person is behind her.

Yan and An don't care about these things. Everything in the world is nothing more than black and white.

Whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, it is wrong to bully the weak.

No matter who is standing behind them, Yan and An will not be afraid.

After this incident, Commander Li's original prejudice against Yan and An gradually disappeared.

The purity of Yan and An is admirable.

Now, hearing that Yan Yu'an was going to the northwest, Commander Li was truly happy for him.

If you want to get ahead, there is no faster way than going to the battlefield.

Although swords and guns are merciless, it is okay for a man to sacrifice his life to defend his country.

This is the bloodiness of a military general.

"I'll wait for your triumphant return!" Commander Li stretched out his hand and their fists collided.

"Yes! Definitely!" The two smiled at each other.

"Go back! Get a good sleep today, as we still have to travel tomorrow." Commander Li felt that he was becoming too fussy.

However, he couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Yan Yu'an was walking on the palace road when a young eunuch ran over.

"Prince, please stay." A shrill voice chased Yan Yu'an.

The young eunuch was sweating profusely.

Yan Yu'an recognized that this man was the little eunuch he had once saved.

Yan Yu'an was surprised that this young eunuch was quite well-informed and knew that he was leaving the capital so quickly.

The little eunuch was also a grateful person.

When Yan Yu'an saved him, he saw that he was just protecting his head and not fighting back.

Although the young eunuchs are not completely men, their strength is unmatched by the palace maids.

If he just hit back hard, perhaps he could scare the palace maid away.

Later, Yan Yuan also asked him why he didn't fight back.

The young eunuch said, "They are also pitiful people. I will let them vent their anger. They will feel better."

Yan Yu'an was a little angry. Why should the little eunuch bear the consequences of other people's mistakes?

Is there still justice in this world?

But there was nothing he could do.

There are so many unfair things, how can we take care of them all?

"I wonder what the father-in-law wants to say?" Yan Yu'an asked.

"This amulet is for the prince!" The young eunuch stretched out his hand, his eyes full of eagerness.

Yan Yuan was suspicious and reached out to take it.

The young eunuch pinched Ping An Fu heavily, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Yan Yuan looked at Ping Anfu and he nodded.

The young eunuch knew that Master Yan had understood his intention, so he left with peace of mind.

After the young eunuch left, Yan and An avoided people and opened the amulet.

"There's an ambush in Wutong Alley."

The font is crooked.

Yan An'an didn't know whether this was the handwriting of the little eunuch.

I just don't know where he heard that someone wanted to assassinate him.

Yan Yuan tore up the note and threw it into the lake.

It seems that this journey out of the city may not be peaceful.

He walked out of the palace calmly.

From behind, he always felt like there was a pair of eyes spying on him.

Yan and An did not stay for long.

Regardless of whether the little eunuch's news was true or false, he would be careful.

After returning to the mansion, Marquis Yongning also came to his yard, which was a rare occurrence.

Seeing my son succeed.

Marquis Yongning also looked at his son in a good light.

“Yu’an, you performed very well in front of the emperor this time and also brought honor to the family.” Marquis Yongning said with a smile.

"Yes!" Yan Yuan spoke briefly and didn't say a single word to his father.

Yongning Hou waved his hand and said awkwardly, "By the way, be careful when you are outside. The city has been in turmoil recently. If you don't have something necessary, don't go out today."

Yan Yu'an's heart sank. Could it be that as the young eunuch said, someone was trying to assassinate him, and even his father was suspected?

"Yes." Yan Yu'an responded.

He was wondering who wanted to kill him.

Wutong Alley is the only way from the palace to the Yongning Marquis Mansion. The terrain is complex and easy to hide.

If there really is an ambush, the other party must be well prepared.

Yan and An changed their route and avoided Wutong Alley.

We are leaving the capital tomorrow, so there is no need to create unnecessary trouble.

But in this case, the enemy failed to succeed and who knows if he will have any further tricks up his sleeve.

Just as he was thinking, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. Yan Yu'an immediately became alert and hid behind the door.

I saw a dark shadow slowly approaching, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand.

Yan Yuan took advantage of the situation and acted quickly.

There was a sound of fighting in the house.

But I didn’t expect that there were so many people in black.

It seems that the other party is determined to sabotage his trip to the northwest.

As long as you knock him down, he won't be able to leave even if he wants to.

Yan Yu'an looked at the man in black, and he immediately climbed over the wall to get out.

He didn't dare to take the risk as he had parents and a lot of other elderly and children at home.

If he leads the assassin out, he will be the only one in danger.

But the men in black would never let him succeed and rushed forward.

Suddenly another group of people came out.

Separated Yan, An and the men in black.

The two sides fought.

Yan and An no longer have any use for their abilities.

Seeing that he could not gain any advantage, the man in black immediately climbed over the wall and left.

The group of people who rescued people immediately climbed over the wall and left.

Yan Yuan stood in the yard with a confused look on his face.

Who are these people? Who wants to kill him? Who wants to save him?
