[System] Former political enemies are all guilty of peach blossoms

Muyunmen was surrounded by a group of guards with swords and silver armor, and the tea garden countryside, which was originally comfortable, became a little tense.

"That's right, I am Mu Yunmen, the envoy of Dragon Talisman, and I am sent to Yan Kingdom by the emperor's order."

The man in the jade shirt nodded without fear.

"His Royal Highness King Yan invites the Dragon Talisman to go to the palace for a talk. There will be a banquet to cleanse the dust at night. Please come with me."

The silver-armored guard turned and walked eastward with a serious face.

The man's footsteps followed the clanging of the guard's armor, and he came to the bottom of a staircase made of white marble.Going up the steps, at the end is a glazed tile mansion connected to the mountain, with carved beams and painted buildings, but it is quiet and terrifying.

"Master Mu, please, Your Highness has instructed you to go in directly."

The silver-armored guards did not climb the white marble steps, but five people stood under the steps and continued to stand guard.

Hearing what the guards said, Mu Yunmen raised his head and looked at the Yanwang Mansion, which was located high up in the distance. At this moment, the clouds and mists lingering in the mountains slowly floated in, slightly covering up the quiet and gorgeous mansion, giving it an air of fairyland.

It's too cold at the heights, that's the meaning.

He lifted up the hem of his clothes that was blown by the mountain wind, and walked up the steps. His thin figure was slowly covered by the clouds and mist, and he disappeared.

There were about one hundred and eighty steps, and it took Mu Yunmen a while to walk to the door of the mansion.He stretched out his hand, pressed against the cool silver vermilion door, slowly pushed it open, and a faint scent of sandalwood rushed into his nose first.

At that moment, the old memories came alive again.

But at that time, he was brought up in front of King Yan, with a big knife raised to the center of his eyebrows. Under the sharp edge of the knife, he could only use his own mouth and the will of Queen Mother Mu to persuade the gloomy king to give up the idea of ​​rebellion. think.

"It's the trash sent by that incompetent Qi Qin again. Don't you think I didn't kill enough heads?"

Yan Wang Youlan's eyes released a murderous intent.

"Kara!"

The sound of the door closing brought Mu Yunmen back from memory to reality.Directly in front of you is the spacious lobby, which is empty, only the shadow of the sun reflected on the pillars and window grilles.

The scent of sandalwood permeated the quiet space. If it wasn't for the fragrance flowing, the man would even have the illusion that time had stopped.

"Da da da."

At this moment, the sound of slight footsteps came from the other side of the lobby, very steady and light.

"This is your second visit to Yan Kingdom. The last time it was in the name of Empress Dowager Mu, and this time it was my nephew Qi Li...every time you come, nothing good happens."

An extremely indifferent, lazy and lonely voice echoed in the closed wooden wall of the lobby, penetrated into the eardrums of the man in the jade shirt, and shocked him all over.

"It turns out that when the official came here, he had to accompany Han Ren every time to see His Highness. Is it because of this fault?"

Mu Yunmen laughed at himself with a shallow smile and said that he already recognized the person.

King Yan put his hands behind his back, and Shi Shiran stood in the shadow between the sun and shadow.

Dressed in a spotless white dress, with emerald green jade ornaments hanging around her waist, her rich and timeless facial features reveal a tiny smile, her half-covered eyelids cover her icy blue eyes, leaving her lonely.

Mu Yunmen thought to himself, compared with the bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty before, it seems that there has been a huge change, from a sad and angry heir to the throne to an indifferent and low-key hermit.

At this time, Mu Yunmen's eyes released a scroll of characters:

Character: Qi Ye

Eloquence: [-]

Momentum: 69

Ayutthaya: sixty

Chances: [-]

Marquis position: King Yan

Official position: none

After looking at King Yan's parameters with his eyes, the man was about to kneel down.

"Mu Yunmen pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Yan. It's been seven years since we saw each other."

Yan Wang Qi Ye who was standing in the shadow interrupted him quietly:

"Mo Bai, I don't like these etiquettes, I haven't seen you for a long time, Mu Yunmen."

Qi Ye gradually stepped out of the shadows, revealing his handsome appearance, with a faint but kind smile.

Compared with the livid faces of the northern kings when they greeted him, it was really quite different.

——Qi Ye will be happy if you go to Yanguo.

Involuntarily, seeing King Yan's smile, Su Xieyi's joke suddenly appeared in Mu Yunmen's mind.

It seems... the atmosphere is really good.

A pot of top-notch Baixuejian was poured into the teacup, the tea was golden yellow and full of fragrance.

Qi Ye and Mu Yunmen were sitting in the lobby, Yan Wang held the handle of the pot with his slender and snow-white fingers, and filled the two with a cup of world tea.

When Mu Yunmen was the prime minister, the production of Baixuejian was even rarer. Except for the fact that King Yan devoted himself to building the Yan Kingdom and making Baixuejian flourish in the past few years, basically only the royal family could taste it in the previous era.

This was the second time in his life that he drank this tea. He held up the cup tremblingly, like a treasure, smelled the aroma, and took a sip.

In an instant, everything in my mind was lit up by the mellow aroma of this tea!

With starry eyes, he stared blankly at the tea in the cup, and took another sip cautiously.

"If Master Mu likes it, I can send someone to send ten catties of tea to Mu's residence."

Seeing Mu Yunmen's careful and loving appearance, Qi Ye raised his beautifully plump lips and said lightly.

Mu Yunmen shook his head.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. If I accept your gift, it will be in vain to gain a little trust from the emperor."

After Qi Ye heard this, his blue eyes stared quietly at the man, and said after a long time:

"Yan Kingdom was originally a mountainous area with barren people and barren soil, but after you came, I realized that if you want to rule, you should start from the land under your feet. How can I have a beautiful dream under the heavens?"

"Your Highness... are you still unwilling, is your brother the emperor?"

Mu Yunmen's scalp went numb, and he asked in a daze.Could it be that after so many years, even the late emperor has passed away, Qi Ye still can't let go of the resentment of not being elected emperor?

"This king has never changed his mind. Qi Qin is benevolent, but incompetent. If it wasn't for the queen mother, who said she couldn't bear to see our brothers killing each other, if it wasn't for you who came here to ridicule me that I can't even govern Yanguo well, why look at the world? Probably still stuck in the obsession of resentment, unable to take the next step."

Qi Ye's long and narrow eyes were revealing this ambiguous light, lingering on Mu Yunmen's plain face.

"...Fortunately, I came out and developed Yanguo well, becoming one of the lands that are the lifeline of the imperial court's economy."

The handsome man's expression seemed to be a little affectionate, and his eyes changed from staring to affectionate, which was intriguing.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, you are right. Since he is the king of the feudal country and the minister of the emperor, Mu Yunmen came to Yan Kingdom today for the emperor's order."

Mu Yunmen noticed King Yan's gaze, although he felt a little strange, he restrained his doubts, pinned the dragon talisman on his waist, and opened the edict in his hand.

Seeing Mu Yunmen get up to take the edict, Qi Ye also got up and lifted up his clothes, knelt down to listen.

"Yan Wang Qi Ye, according to the emperor's order, should be chosen from among the sons, and he will be an official in the court, and the stone will be one thousand. No son is inevitable, and those who have one son or do not want to enter the court, each person should pay 3 taels of silver per year to show loyalty. "

After Mu Yunmen finished reading the imperial edict, Qi Ye kowtowed and said softly:

"The minister takes orders."

He leaned over to support Qi Ye, raised his head to compare with his tall Yan Wangdao:

"Your Highness has three days to consider whether it is your eldest son or 3 taels of gold. After you make up your mind at that time, the next official will send a letter to the court to send someone here."

Qi Ye lowered his eyes and nodded.

"This order of grace, it seems that you mentioned it to the emperor. Either enter the court or pay heavy taxes. If my son goes to Beijing and grows old, he will not be able to share the land of Yan Kingdom. How will the emperor arrange for him in his old age?"

"His Royal Highness, all the princes who enter the court will be enshrined as marquises in their twilight years, and the marquis will give them land, and then their sons will inherit it. However, the sons, all the princes do not want to enter the court, because they are the most orthodox in the feudal kingdom. heirs."

As Mu Yunmen spoke, Qi Ye's icy cold fingers slowly brushed across his face, like a superficial touch, he swipe away and left again.

Qi Ye's eyes were deep, really... the man in front of him was probably his evil star.

"Let me think about it, but Master Mu still has to give me some light at the reception banquet at night."

Mu Yunmen took a step back slightly, keeping a little distance from Qi Ye.

"Okay, Your Highness."

The man stared at the white-clothed Qi Ye in front of him, the projection of the window grille was mottled and branded on his face, and he didn't understand what it meant.
