Youwei, the heir of the Red Chamber

The carriage was about to enter the pass, because it was the time when the two armies were confronting each other, and the guards at the gate of the city were stricter than usual.

"My king doesn't trust them, so I can't reveal my identity."

Jia Lian nodded with a faint smile, "This is what I mean." Then he put down the curtain and drove the carriage on.

The carriage slowly approached the closed door, and the guard at the gate blocked the way, "Slow down."

Jia Lian hurriedly got out of the carriage, smiled at the two guards and said, "This is my brother who is in charge. The two of us have been doing business at the border. Unexpectedly, my brother suddenly fell ill. Now I am waiting to go back to reunite with my family. I hope it will be convenient." As he spoke, he secretly untied the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the guard at the gate.

The guard opened the door curtain and saw Zhongshun leaning against the car with a sick look on his face.

"Hmph, you two are dressed so strangely, that my uncle will let you enter the customs with just such an idea? Who knows if you are spies."

"Then this should be enough."

Jia Lian turned around and saw Zhongshun stretched out his hand from the car, holding the blood-red jade pendant in his hand.He hurriedly reached out to take it, and handed it to the guard, "This is our ancestral property. I keep it with me to keep it safe. I hope the two military masters don't dislike it, and go to exchange for some wine."

The guard knows a little bit about treasures, and when he saw this precious one, he hurriedly followed it, pretending to be impatient and said: "Okay, okay, you guys go over there quickly, so as not to be bad luck."

Jia Lian got into the carriage, and the carriage drove quickly. Just after closing the door, he heard a sarcasm from inside, "I didn't expect that the gate of my dignified Yuan family would be guarded by such a young man. If the emperor brother I know, I don’t know what to do and what to think.”

Jia Lian did not respond.In fact, Rongguo Mansion is not the only one that has fallen. Now the court is in constant struggle, the frontier generals are disloyal, and the monarchs and ministers are all involved in the struggle for imperial power.A king has no intention of benefiting the world, and an official only cares about his own strength.Aristocratic families have declined from generation to generation, and there is a scene of extravagance in the court.Things like just now happen every day in any corner of the world, and they are even more absurd and colder.

Zhongshun sat in the car and asked without hearing Jia Lian's response, "What are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything," Jia Lian smiled lightly, and while driving the carriage, said, "I'm just thinking, now that I've entered the customs, should I go to the prince or the minister first."

"Hmph, as far as your idiots are concerned, if they can take care of anything, they will naturally be the ones who contact me first."

"Oh - the prince knows how to contact them?"

Zhongshun took out a thumb-thick bamboo tube from his sleeve, "Take this and release it in a place where no one is around, and someone will come to meet you."

"Yes, I will obey the order." He said and took the bamboo tube.

"You... I don't need to call you that, you can just call me as before."

"I don't dare, the prince is a member of the royal family, and I should strictly abide by the way of the monarch and his ministers."

Seeing Jia Lian insisting on this, Zhong Shun's face darkened, he put down the curtain ruthlessly, leaned against the wall of the car, and said coldly: "If that's the case, please hurry up, Master Jia."

"Yes, my lord."

After entering the customs, the safety of the two can be guaranteed, after all, this is an important border area, and there are army leaders everywhere, so there is no opportunity for the thieves to take advantage of.

Jia Lian sent out the signal according to Zhongshun's instructions, and the two sat in a hidden place waiting for the rescuers to arrive.

Zhong Shun leaned back in the carriage, Jia Lian was outside the carriage, and the two of them were separated by a curtain in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhongshun suddenly lifted the curtain, and saw Jia Lian leaning on the car with his eyes squinted, not sure if he was really asleep or a fake sleep.

The face of this life is as gentle as jade, the shape is like Zhilan, and the demeanor of everyone in every gesture is not much better than that of the royal family. It is not like the Rongguo Mansion, which was cultivated by a declining family that started with martial arts.What's more, the knowledge and experience shown in the past few days is definitely not something that a pampered son in the Duke's mansion can touch. This man has more and more secrets...

"Jia Lian, what are your plans when you go back this time?"

Jia Lian opened his eyes, the eyes were as clear as water and as deep as a pool. "This time, the minister is acting as the minister of the peace talks for the prince. Now that the prince has returned safely, the subordinate officials will follow orders."

Zhongshun frowned, "If you don't want to make contributions, this king can help you. This king is sick this time, and you can continue to act as my king temporarily. The success of the peace talks will be a great contribution."

Jia Lian stood up, with a faint smile on his face, vague and unpredictable.

He bowed to Zhongshun, bowed his body and said: "I will eat the king's salary, worry about the king's worries, and never have any other thoughts. The prince's kindness, I appreciate it."

"You..." There was anger in Zhongshun's eyes, but he didn't know how to act out, so he looked coldly at Jia Lian who was motionless in front of him.

The two of them didn't move for a moment, and they didn't hear the wind and dust fall.

Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps, and then Liu Xia's voice was heard not far away. "Subordinates are late, please forgive me."

Zhongshun glanced at Jia Lian, who looked calm, and sighed inwardly.

In the past few days, there have been no major changes in the frontier, but just after the two arrived in the hotel, they heard that Feng Tang and his son had come to pay a visit to Zhongshun Wang Qiansui.

Zhongshun was unhappy at first, and the two of them couldn't get rid of their involvement in the robbery before, so he didn't look good, he just told him that he was tired and didn't have the heart to deal with it.

Putting on a sapphire blue robe of sitting dragon and python, her black hair tied with a white jade crown, and a pair of boots with silk and gold thread cloud patterns, fully showing the dignity of the royal family and princes.

After washing and washing, people went to find Jia Lian.

The confidant is in a hurry to find someone.

The hotel is not big, and after only going there for a while, I saw the man leading Jia Lian in Hanlin official uniform.

Jia Lian's inherently handsome face, coupled with his three-pointed smile when he sees people, makes people feel like a spring breeze.

When Zhongshun raised his head, he saw Jia Lian's eyes that penetrated deep into Bitan, his heart skipped a beat, and he became slightly nervous.

"My minister has seen the prince." Jia Lian bowed his body, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

The accompanying servants added chairs to Zhongshun's table, and brought new tea to Jia Lian.

Zhongshun waved his hand, and the waiters came out in a file.

Seeing that Jia Lian's expression remained unmoved, and there was no trace of discomfort, Zhongshun felt panicked for no reason, and said coldly, "Do you know what the king wants you to come here for?"

"I don't know." Clean and tidy.

"You..." Zhongshun frowned, picked up a cup of tea from the table and poured it in, and with a "bang", the white teacup fell on the table, "Jia Lian, this king didn't mean to hide it from you. , how can this king trust people so easily."

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Then why do you have such an attitude? This king has already said that if you really make friends with each other, you should call them friends."

Jia Lian raised his head and bent his lips slightly, "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and the principles of heaven, I dare not forget." If you really call yourself a friend, how can you still call yourself the king, how can you treat yourself as a king?

"You...that's all..." Zhongshun's eyes showed disappointment, and he could only give up after all.

The two were quiet, only smelling the fragrance of tea that filled the room.

"I wonder how Mrs. Jia thinks this Rouran matter should be done?"

Zhongshun finally spoke out, but his tone was full of alienation.

"The humble minister is superficial and can't do it for a while, but I think the prince should already have enough in his chest."

Zhongshun narrowed his eyes, put down his tea cup and stood up, his wide robe sleeves drew an elegant arc as he turned around.

Looking out the window sparsely, with dark eyes.

"You must have already guessed eight points of this king's identity. Today, this king will tell you the other two points."

"My minister is all ears."

"Actually, among the royal family, this is not a secret at all, but it is a matter of insulting the royal family's face. Naturally, the people don't know about it. The mother and concubine of this king is the Rouran princess Yu Jiuluru. The illegitimate daughter of Queen Dowager Rouran and a native of the Central Plains. Before the age of ten, she was brought up by the Queen Mother's confidantes. After the current King Rouran ascended the throne, she was formally raised in the palace. She was born beautiful , and grew up in the same place from a young age, he was loved by King Rouran, and soon gave birth to the eldest son of King Rouran, Prince Lou Ming who just passed away. Although Rouran people do not pay as much attention to ethics as Central Plains people, they do She couldn't accept such a woman to become a queen, so she persuaded King Rouran to marry the queen. The mother and concubine had a strong temper, so she sneaked out of the palace on the day of King Rouran's wedding, and met the Emperor Dayuan in the desert. That is the king's father. The father loves the beauty of the country, not to mention the mother and concubine are Rouran's most beloved princess, so there is this marriage between the two countries."

Then he turned around and looked at Jia Lian with irony in his eyes, "But the concubine gave birth to this king only eight months after entering the palace, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Jia Lian's heart moved slightly, but he just looked away.

"Huh, the mother and concubine are of the blood of the Rouran people and the Central Plains people, and the king was born like the Rouran people and the Central Plains people. Naturally, those guys have no handle, but the father is very suspicious, and there are caring people. Even the king of Rouran thought that this king was his flesh and blood, and even gave him the name Yu Jiululou. So - who else is more suitable than this king for this matter of Rouran?"

It is true that he has the shame of King Rouran towards him and the support of the Queen Mother of Rouran. If this person goes out, he can get twice the result with half the effort, but... this also means that he has admitted his Rouran bloodline and recognized his He is the illegitimate son of Princess Yu Jiuluru and King Rouran.

"Rou Ran is weak, the prince doesn't have to be like this." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jia Lian felt regretful. If he could solve this matter as soon as possible, it would be beneficial for him to free up time as soon as possible.

,

Fortunately, Zhongshun persisted, turned around to cover the look in his eyes, but slowed down his tone, "Jia Lian, I know you are a sensible person. If the court is united, Rouran has nothing to fear. But now that the internal troubles have not been eliminated, Rouran However, it is a serious trouble for the confidant! The king once said that he owed the third brother, and he would definitely pay it back."
