Ascension

"I don't know how Wen Wen is doing underground."

Wen Liang looked at the proud son of heaven with his back turned to him in surprise, and happened to see the handle of the umbrella tilted, and a thin layer of rainwater on the umbrella surface gathered into a stream, and finally dropped a drop of rain and fell to the ground.

He looked weird, as if he was nervous: "Why did Your Highness suddenly mention elder brother?"

Yan Siyu's words slipped out of her mouth unconsciously, and at this moment a faint blush appeared on her snow-white face.

He turned around and stretched out his white jade hand to hold Wen Liang, pinched the thick calluses in his palm with his fingers, and said softly: "When Yanqing was choosing a son-in-law, wasn't your elder brother the first thing he looked at?"

Because Wen Wen had already made an appointment with the Su family, the abolished emperor regretted giving up.After all, Wen Wen, Wen Liang, and Wen Liang are hard to distinguish between the literary and the military. Parents always hope that their son-in-law can live a long life, and civil servants are too safe compared to military generals.

But Wen Liang didn't believe his words, said: "The emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for His Highness."

He was extremely sensitive today, hitting the nail on the head.

Yan Siyu is worrying about this matter, the emperor may not really want to do it, but he is disgusted by publicizing the matter of recruiting a son-in-law everywhere, now everyone in the world knows that Princess Xiang'an is going to marry.He smiled wryly and said: "I sincerely hope that Wen Wen will be this son-in-law, so as not to make the emperor laugh at me now. It's a pity...he died."

Hearing this, Wen Liang subconsciously clenched the fingers in his palm.

His Highness Fourth has a pair of very soft jade hands, so soft and slippery.And the bow and horse in his hands are full of thick calluses, usually nothing is empty, and the rain is still passing between the fingers of the two as an accomplice, and the fingers in the palm are like clouds, which may slip away at any time .

"Your Highness, why don't you hire an obedient son-in-law so that His Majesty won't bother you anymore."

Yan Siyu looked at Wen Liang suspiciously, he had mentioned this matter many times, and seemed to have hidden feelings: "Do you have someone to choose?"

Wen Liang woke up from his own thoughts, knowing that His Highness was suspicious, quickly lowered his eyes, and turned back to that silent, boring gourd and rotten wood, nana said: "Humble job... There is no candidate."

Yan Siyu nodded, held his hand and taught gently: "Multiple sons-in-law is not as simple as having multiple people in Changpei Palace. These people in the court are the most likely to make trouble out of nothing. Ordinary things may imply cleverness. You have to be careful too."

After all, he didn't understand him, and he only made tricks and conspiracies with his true feelings.

Wen Liang said dumbly: "The humble official knows."

If Xiang'an needs someone to be the son-in-law in the end, he would rather find someone irrelevant who won't cause Yan Siyu's heartache, rather than be occupied by the dead elder brother and cause troubles.

Yan Siyu is thoughtful and thoughtful, and has always treated his subordinates with kindness and power, only gentleness, he is too lazy to play with those fake things, so he doesn't spend too much energy thinking about his secret thoughts.

He said to Wen Liang, "You are my family."

Family, what a warm title, but it can only be warm for a moment, and then only the bone-chilling cold remains.

His Royal Highness's understanding of family members is different from Wen Liang's.Like every husband who returns home, he complains to Wen Liang, but he never cares about Wen Liang's reaction when he hears this.Or he did it on purpose, he wanted to teach gentleness, forcibly reverse his natural kindness, even if it would bring heart-breaking pain.

Just like today, it was not enough for Yan Siyu to tell Wen Liang clearly that it was his third brother's handwriting, he had to bring people out, to hear the slander of the people with his own ears, and to see the contemptuous faces of the people with his own eyes.

Yan Siyu's gentle and upright dignity made Yan Siyu feel at ease. This kind of person didn't need to spend too much effort to win over and guard against, but it also made him feel uneasy.Carefully searching for all kinds of people who have appeared in her life, Yan Siyu can't find a way to deal with such people at all.Even if they are rare loyal ministers, they want to leave a name in history and be admired by thousands of people.And what does Wen Liang want?

When they first met, it was Yan Siyu who came to Huainan in rare men's clothing, and by chance ran into Wen Liang who was familiar with the border town with his fourth brother. The three pretended not to know each other's identities, chatted freely, and became close friends.After meeting again in the capital, Wen Liang and Wen Wen became his subordinates as a matter of course.Wen Liang knew his identity as a man, but Wen Wen thought that when he first met, it was a princess disguised as a man.

At that time, Yan Siyu thought that after Emperor Qi ascended the throne, she would be the prince of the dynasty, and she was full of ambition, and it was only normal for someone to defect to her.Not so sure now.Wen Liang became more and more depressed, Wen Wen didn't hide his intention to leave at all, but because of his indelible red makeup?

Yan Siyu's deep eyes stared at the man standing respectfully, his eyes full of gloom.

He had to hold Wen Liang tightly, and would rather destroy it if he couldn't handle it.

Yan Ye, who has just moved into Qianqing Palace, will not know Yan Siyu's troubles.No matter how much he slandered and belittled him in his words, he couldn't hide his fear and... admiration for this younger brother who was so wise and close to a monster since he was a child.

Yes, he admired him.He shouldn't have admired him. As a prince and later His Majesty the Emperor, it was a big mistake to admire his younger brother.But he couldn't defy the voice in his heart, that voice always told him that if it was Yan Siyu, he could do better.

That made Yan Ye almost crazy!

Yan Siyu has the trust of his father, at least the trust in ability; the loyalty of Wen Liangwen and others; the favor of civil and military officials.And what does he have?

He always thought this way, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had nothing but the throne, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

It is also natural to ignore that it is difficult for Yan Siyu, as the "Princess of Xiang'an", to give her subordinates substantial benefits.

Emperor Qi was an emperor who knew people well and made good use of them. It can be said that his political team were all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and they were fully capable of running the dynasty in an orderly manner.In order to "make good use of it", Emperor Qi gave each of them a lot of power.The imperial power is large enough, as long as it is properly distributed, the courtiers can each occupy a small part of the imperial power, check and balance each other without powerful ministers in power.But the disadvantage is that when the emperor is not strong enough, any major power changes will make them vigilant, and then unite to protect their own place.

Yan Ye wanted to promote his own people several times but was refuted by the officials. He thought that this kind of thing would not happen in front of Yan Siyu, but he didn't realize that Yan Siyu had a sense of proportion every time he discussed politics.

This scale is ridiculous to say, it's just a job, and the people in Changpei Palace will do it, Guan Er, you can watch it.

Without an official position, no matter how well things are done, the right to do things will be taken back afterwards.

Yan Siyu's advantage over Yan Ye is that he joined politics very early, so early that perhaps only the deceased Emperor Qi knew about it.Most of the courtiers in the court have gotten used to Princess Xiang'an's position as "almost the crown prince", and even many courtiers were recruited by him for Emperor Qi.Like Yan Ye, they are willing to look up to Princess Xiang'an and obey him in areas other than their own rights, even if Her Royal Highness the Princess will never really ascend the throne.

The status of "princess" is a double-edged sword, because everyone believes that it is impossible for him to ascend the throne.

But once the ministers find out that the princess is likely to ascend the throne, they will immediately turn to the more kind Yan Ye.

Therefore, Yan Siyu must at least convince Yan Ye that the support of the ministers is in his hands until the soldier talisman is retrieved.

"Your Majesty is standing on the edge of the cliff. He doesn't know that he is also standing on the edge of the cliff."

Taifu Nianxu smiled, unfathomable.

Yan Ye's chess game is about to fall, and Zhizi is uncertain, frowning: "His foundation is not stable, but his power is far greater than that of the lonely king."

Taifu's son landed lightly, ignoring the weak foundation, and went straight to Yan Ye's hinterland.

The king's hand trembled, and the white chess piece was about to fall between his fingers. He held the chess piece with an old hand and said, "Your Majesty is upset."

Yan Ye's brows were tightly furrowed, he was already showing his age at such a young age, and said: "If there is a Sirius who offends Ziwei, how can we not make a mess?"

The Tai Tuo spread out his palm, saw the white chess lying quietly in his palm, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the world is like a chess game, you should not give this white chess to the old man."

Yan Ye was stunned for a moment, and if he realized something, he said, "If the grand master would put this chess piece?"

"Where does Your Majesty want the old man to put?"

Having said that, the Taifu took back the white pieces slowly, and put the white pieces into the black chess urn bit by bit.

Yan Ye is holding the white stone, but now, there is a white stone shining brightly hidden in the sunspot.What would the owner of Heizi think?

Yan Ye stared at this piece of chess and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help lowering his voice: "Wen...?"

The last word disappeared into the coda and was indistinct.

Taifu nodded in affirmation.

How important is the Huainan soldier talisman, where can those people who were killed gently get it?Although there was a little mistake in the middle, as long as the soldier talisman is not in Yan Siyu's hands, his foundation will not be stable.

"Your Majesty, why don't you spend more time on Wen Liang," Tai Tuo said, "Wen Liang and the military talisman are indispensable if we want to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in Huainan."

Yan Ye stood up and said happily: "Xiang'an has lost his military talisman and is at odds with Wen Liang, so Gu can take this opportunity to seize power?"

The Tai Tu raised his eyebrows and taught: "Your Majesty, don't be careless. Even though the man stole the soldier talisman, he didn't give it to us. If he finds that the situation has changed and returns the soldier talisman, the loss outweighs the gain."

Yan Ye calmed down upon hearing this, looked at the tutor, and raised his hand to wipe his neck.

Taifu shook his head slightly: "It's too difficult to kill him, one time may not necessarily be self-defeating. Besides, even if he dies, the soldier talisman may not return to Xiang'an."

Only then did Yan Ye fully wake up.Xiang'an has its own means of attracting people. Those who are fond of fame and wealth promise them power and wealth, and those who value affection and friendship give them a glass of wine to raise their kindness.After all, that person is not black and white, but a person with seven emotions and six desires.

He picked up a white piece and pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Xiang'an must also know that the mastermind who stole the soldier talisman is not dead, this is Gu's chance!"

The Tai Fu was slightly startled, and in an instant he wanted to understand what Yan Ye was referring to, and said with a relieved smile: "Your Majesty has made great progress."

Yan Ye didn't care about humility, and stared intently at the chessboard, the white piece in his hand shifted several times, and he couldn't make a move for a long time.

Wen Liang is the person who has the best chance of stealing the soldier talisman. He doesn't believe that Yan Siyu will ignore this general who could have spread his wings and soared, but was implicated in the court for several years.

It depends on how he lands this white piece.

One son can determine the ownership of the country.

The author has something to say: This chapter is obviously very harmonious, so there is no political connection if it is empty, why is it locked?

☆, 3

When Liu Wan walked out of Changpei Palace, Wen Liang, the commander of the imperial army, was entering.The lord was held by Princess Xiang'an, and the wide sleeves embroidered with rich peonies were covered with half-worn official clothes. He couldn't help but drag him into the boudoir without giving any time to speak.

In fact, Wen Liang didn't like to talk at first, after he came to Beijing, he talked even less, and he wouldn't talk to someone who didn't have a name like him.This shows how cautious Princess Xiang'an is. How many years has Liu Wan entered the Changpei Palace, not to mention the famous Wen Liang, who has never said a word even to his colleague Wen Wen.He touched the rusty dagger at his waist, he really didn't like the gentleness of robbing his own business, he had to make a difference if he really met, lest the yellow-haired boy bully the old man.

"Brother Liu, where are you going?" the old eunuch who was pouring Yexiang in the palace asked when he saw the figure.

Liu Wan's back is hunched, only a few strands of hair are left sticking to his white scalp, his old face looks like he has been unlucky for eight lifetimes, even though he is an old man serving by Princess Xiang'an's side, he is like a brother who is like Ye Xiang .

His words leaked, and he listened to people in the middle of the night: "Princess Yanqing's Mansion, the master personally gave me a good job."

"Oh, well developed!" Yexiang's tone changed immediately, and she ran over to flatter her with a smile on her face, "The old slave said that you are also a lucky person with Princess Xiang'an..."

Liu Wan didn't like it very much.What is "what's going on"?The old man was so gentle and still in his mother's womb, if he was not old enough to be handsome, how could it be the turn of that little boy to become famous and guard the Changpei Palace for several years?

Fortunately, the master Shengming knew that the little boy was unreliable, so he gave him the task of visiting the princess' mansion at night.Soldier talisman, soldier talisman, wait until the old man finds the soldier talisman, let's see how long the Wen family can play around for a few days!

Liu Wan made up his mind to bring down the Wen family, so Yan Siyu naturally knew about it.He has already made up his mind, just see if old man Liu can find the military talisman - if he can't find it, then of course there is no need to mention it, if he really finds it...

He hooked the back of Wen Liang's head and asked for a kiss, half of the clothes were barely hanging on his body, the gauze was between the two of them close to each other, a rich peony was imprinted on Wen Liang's mouth, it was as red as blood.

"Back then you said you were willing to fight for me, but now it still counts?"

The hoarse voice of both male and female is right next to Wen Liang's ears, as light as a dream.

He was panting slightly, the blood all over his body was burning, the high temperature made him feel at a loss, and he couldn't see the person on him clearly in the dark. The prince looks like jade.

If it was Princess Xiang'an, would he be willing to fight for her?

Wen Liang was at a loss, unable to say whether he wanted to or not.In order to cover up his evasion, he hugged Yan Siyu's shoulders with both arms and kissed his lover's brows and eyes indiscriminately, his panting suddenly became louder,

Yan Siyu understood, or thought he understood, pursed his blade-like thin lips, trying to sneer, but couldn't.The only way is to take this man fiercely, crush him, swallow him into his stomach, melt into his own flesh and blood, turn him into his own nourishment, and never separate him again.

This is his most trusted subordinate, and he can't answer "yes"!

All of Wen Liang's coldness and hardness are easily broken in front of Yan Siyu, only patience is left, bearing all the sweetness and pain.

The master has no thoughts about him beyond the boudoir, as a subordinate, it is wrong to have dirty thoughts, how can he say it out loud?He is willing to fight mountains and fires for the talented and generous monarch, but he only wants to grow old with his beloved.

Like a flower like a jade, he has never been allowed to make decisions, even his heart is unknowingly held in the hands of the master, so there is no need to answer whether he wants or not?Live for the king, die for the king.

The cloud and rain had rested, Yan Siyu and Wen Liang lay on the couch after taking a bath, their hearts were empty and they couldn't sleep well, so they put on their clothes and got up.He noticed that Wen Liang turned over and was also looking for his clothes, and ordered: "You will stay here today, and you are not allowed to get up before dawn."

This is a male voice, lingling and clear, with its own majesty.Wen Liang lay down again, entangled in the same mind, still thinking: "Add a big cloak, it's cold at night."

Yan Siyu hummed, and Leng Xiang, the personal maid, helped him get the cloak.He frowned when he saw the gold and green satin, and said in a deep voice, "Bring a black one."

Leng Xiang was taken aback, there was nothing dark in the master's closet.Fang was about to speak, Qin'er next to her pulled her sleeve, and directly took a dark gray cloak that Wen Liang left here.

Yan Siyu was upset and didn't care, she put on her clothes and went out.On the contrary, Wen Liang lay on the bed and looked at his back again and again.

"Why is the master wearing black today?" Leng Xiang wondered.The master usually hates black clothes the most.

Qin'er was cautious in words and deeds, looked at Wen Liang and didn't answer.

Wen Liang said softly: "He likes black people."

The first time the two met, the thin young man was wearing a black satin Confucian shirt, looking cool and cold, not like a mortal person.

Yan Siyu wrapped herself in the night, and hid alone on the porch, looking in the direction of Princess Yanqing's Mansion.

He has always kept the Huainan soldier talisman close to his body, and it must be someone close to him who has the opportunity to steal the soldier talisman.In terms of intimacy, who can compare to the gentleness who is always honest and relative?

Only the Huainan soldier talisman may not be able to move the Huainan generals who have been in the hands of Wen Liang for seven years, but if Wen Liang's loyalty can be added, the overall situation is settled.

Wen Liang, Wen Liang, Wen Liang, it was the first time in Yan Siyu's life that she worried about this firm and reliable man.

If Liu Wan really finds the soldier talisman from Wen Liang's mansion, should he kill him?At least half of the generals of the Huainan Army followed Wen Liang to directly attack the capital a few years ago, and his title of Army Soul is by no means in vain.If the soldier talisman cannot be found, Wen Liang is the only one who can mobilize the Huainan army.

The ups and downs of half of her life made Yan Siyu used to plan for the worst possibility, even if she had a false alarm, she would be better off being caught off guard.

"Chen Dong Yan sees Your Highness."

Yan Siyu had already heard this person's footsteps, an ambitious young man.

He turned around and saw Dong Yan standing behind him, also dressed in ink and bowing his head in salute.

"It's really time for you to come." It was a female voice.

In these words, there are three points of indifference, three points of reliance, and four points of sarcasm.

After all, Dong Yan was young, so he forced a smile when he froze: "I saw His Highness here alone from a distance, come to ask His Highness if you need my service?"

Yan Siyu jokingly said: "Help me? Wen Liang's stone won't please me, so you can do it for him?"

Dong Yan's face flushed, and he said awkwardly: "Your Highness, why do you have to tease your subjects? Isn't Commander Wen your favourite?"

The little staff not only spied on the master's whereabouts, but also dared to ask back every sentence when he spoke.If it weren't for the fact that he still has some skills, he would have killed the dog a long time ago.

Yan Siyu raised her eyebrows, her long and narrow eyes were delicately outlined with eyebrows, making her more mysterious in the night.He chuckled lightly and said: "Mr. Dong knows a lot, just like the roundworms in my stomach." Wen Liang is honest and straightforward, but this person has eight orifices, only one is missing.

Dong Yan finally heard that his master was not happy, but relying on his intelligence, he didn't take it to heart, and said directly: "Your Majesty is worrying about the military talisman. Even more deeply, you left the bedroom alone, but you suspect Commander Wen ?”

Yan Siyu shook her head and said: "Wen Liang has always been loyal, and he really has deep affection for me, Mr. Dong's words are not wise."

Dong Yan has brains, but he thinks too much of himself when he becomes famous as a young man, and acts extremely insanely.He didn't even think about it, if the words were leaked to Wen Liang's ears and forced people to Yan Ye's side, beheading him a hundred heads would not be enough.

"I heard that Gao Jie, sent by His Majesty, has almost emptied Commander Wen. Your Highness had better make another plan for Commander Wen."

"Of course I made plans for him, but he didn't want to. He just takes his salary and doesn't do anything. Commander Wen is in a very good mood these days." Yan Siyu really helped Wen Liang find an errand, but he rejected it , "His ambition is not here, and I will not force it. People in Xilu are ready to move, and there is always time for him."

Xilu?Dong Yan's eyes were only on the turbulent Beijing, but he didn't expect Princess Xiang'an's words to focus on the border.He frowned and pondered the bits and pieces of news about Xilu that he had heard recently, and he still insisted: "Even if His Highness asks Wen Liang to lead troops to attack Xilu, without a soldier talisman, a famous general is useless. But the emperor has at least tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands." Horses can be maneuvered."

Yan Siyu's expression changed, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses might be the emperor's bait to induce Wen Liang to rebel.Really, do what you like.

He subconsciously clenched the gray-black cloak tightly.The dark color is like night, which can give people a sense of security, but it is also the most unsafe color.No one knows what is hidden under this constant color.

"What's your idea?"

"I would like to give Commander Wen a try for Your Highness."

Yan Siyu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and threatened in a deep voice: "If you dare to reveal the slightest bit of what you said today, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I cherish my life."
