He Lianchun nodded, "The leg of lamb is good. This was my favorite in the past. If I have more drinks, oh! Even gods won't change it."
He Lianyan put the food on the table and said apologetically: "The leg of lamb is a little burnt."
"It's okay, I just like to eat mushy food."
He Lianchun didn't use knives either... All sharp weapons had been confiscated since he was placed under house arrest.
He gnawed it away, and the burnt part was like charcoal, turning the corners of his mouth and face black.
He was gnawing on the roasted leg of lamb with all his concentration, making humming sounds from time to time.
Like a pig.
When he was in Tanzhou, the emperor's uncle wouldn't look twice at the undercooked leg of lamb.
Without a knife, the emperor's uncle would rather use chopsticks than grab meat with his hands.
After eating, He Lianyan went in to clean up.
The emperor's uncle burped and said with satisfaction: "Yan'er, how is Yang Xuan's situation?"
He Lianyan shook his head, "He was assassinated yesterday."
"Um?"
After listening to He Lianyan's description, He Lianchun squinted his eyes and rubbed his oily hands together.
"Let the third child go to receive Yang Xuan. This is meant to be a test, right? But the prince has made such an arrangement because he is well fed, but he wants to leave the third child alone?"
"No, let the Tang Dynasty attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty... If this doesn't work, then what is the prince doing by tossing the third child?"
"The assassination... 99% of this was the prince's fault!"
He Lianchun suddenly laughed, "Does the Emperor ever have a headache?"
"I don't know."
"Yang Xuan can promise you because of his acquaintance, but that brat is someone who won't take action without seeing any benefit. Yan'er..."
"Uncle Emperor."
"You come."
Helianyan leaned over.
"There is a blacksmith shop in the west of the city. In the well in the backyard, go down about two steps along the well mouth. You can take out a stone on the side. There is an oil paper bag inside..."
He Lianchun looked at her and said, "Inside is a statue of an immortal carved from mutton-fat white jade. It is priceless. Go get it and give it to Yang Xuan."
"Uncle Emperor, I promise to use my life as a reward!"
"Silly girl!" The emperor's uncle gasped with laughter, "Who is Yang Xuan? When you dealt with him in the past, did he ever have sex with you?"
Helianyan shook his head.
She almost knocked down Yang Xuan last time, but Yang Xuan avoided it.
"Beauty cannot tempt you, so what is your life worth? Not to mention your ability, Yan'er, he is now the governor of Chenzhou. As long as he is willing, he can recruit talents. What do you know? Settle accounts and manage affairs...
Will he be short of such people?"
The emperor's uncle sighed, "Beautiful women always think highly of themselves. Yan'er, you have to remember that since he doesn't look down on you as a person, he will naturally look down on your life."
Helianyan sat down in confusion, "So, what are we left with?"
"Destiny, let it be your fate!"
…
He Lianyan went to look for Yang Xuan.
I happened to meet someone from the palace.
"There will be a banquet in the palace tonight to see off the envoy of the Tang Dynasty."
Wang Deng's expression changed slightly.
Liang Jing took a deep breath, "Easy to say!"
As soon as the visitor left, Wang Deng said, "It's a pity that time doesn't wait for us!"
Liang Jing smiled and said: "In that case, then this is my fate. I will just hibernate for a while."
He wanted to ascend to the throne of the Minister of War in one fell swoop and intervene in the court. But now it seems that this wish will be postponed.
"There's no rush."
Yang Xuan thought for a while, "Even if we have a banquet, we don't mean to leave right away. It will take a few days to wait. However, the nights are long and the dreams are many, Lao Liang!"
"Here!" Liang Jing was counting on Yang Xuan at this moment.
No, the whole village is counting on him.
"Go and ask to see the Third Prince!"
"What reason?"
"Please give me a poem!"
Liang Jing was startled, "Asking for poetry? His poetry is mediocre. Hey! Zitai, are you trying to build momentum for the third prince?"
"That's right!" Yang Xuan said with a smile: "During the night banquet, Mr. Wang... By the way, is Mr. Wang good at flattering?"
Wang Deng said casually: "This is my special skill!"
Everyone: "..."
Wang Deng said sarcastically: "I am getting older and I like to talk nonsense."
Yang Xuan said: "During the night banquet, Wang Shilang remembered to praise the crown prince and the third prince more. However, the third prince deserves seven points and the prince three points."
"I'm afraid that many important ministers from the Northern Liao Dynasty will come tonight and praise the third prince in front of them. Tsk tsk! The prince may have murderous intentions." Liang Jing sighed.
"When tomorrow, Lao Liang remembers to invite the third prince to be a guest, he will say thank you. Then Lao Wang arranges for someone to go on a tour, and he will say that the third prince is graceful and noble, and the prince is sharp..."
I'm driving you crazy!
…
East Palace.
The prince and Song Zhan were discussing secretly.
"Tonight is an opportunity." The prince's eyes were bright.
Song Zhan hesitated, "How about waiting a little longer!"
"What are you waiting for?" The prince sneered, "He deliberately wanted to abolish Gu. He is not abolished now, but he just didn't find an excuse."
Song Zhan showed a troubled look for the first time, "Your Highness, the third prince is still immature. Your Majesty cannot allow him to be the prince."
"It's better to be young!" The prince laughed, looking particularly sad, "It's a happy event for ordinary people to have a strong son and a father who is still young, but for the royal family, this is sad!"
"Your Highness, please slow down!" Song Zhan advised: "Let them disperse! Let's wait until the autumn hunting time to see what Your Majesty means."
"Your Highness." A confidant appeared outside the palace.
"What's the matter?"
"Liang Jing, the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty, went to the third prince to ask for poems."
The prince took a deep breath and said, "Even they know that asking for help is useless, so it is better to ask for help from Saburo. Sir, if outsiders do this, what will happen to those ministers?"
"This matter..." Song Zhan's face turned red and he kept taking deep breaths, "I'm just afraid of failure..."
The prince sneered, "The Tang Dynasty ordered Yang Xuanyin, the governor of Chenzhou, to hide in the mission, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Aye! The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to go south to attack Northern Xinjiang to avenge Aye!"
Song Zhan lowered his head, then slowly raised it for a long time, "The third prince colluded with the Tang envoy and took advantage of the night banquet to assassinate His Majesty!"
"Of course I know, I just want to wait for you to say it yourself!" The prince stared at him, "Sir, this is certain, we are in the same boat. If we are alone, sir, you will be my right-hand man."
Song Zhan was a little confused and ignored the fact that the prince called himself me.
"Where are the manpower?"
"I have been preparing since the day before yesterday. I am just waiting for the order."
"Your Majesty's side..."
"An Xin, Gu has the means. Even if the matter fails, he can't dethrone Gu's crown prince position!"
Song Zhan looked at him, "I can certainly trust His Highness's methods. This matter..."
The prince likes to make calculations when doing things, and pursues the state of making perfect plans. He wants to achieve perfection in everything and take all the benefits for himself.
"Since His Highness has decided on a strategy, I can only do my best to assist you."
Song Zhan stood up and walked to the front of the prince.
Kneel down.
"My lord, it's just death!"
The prince stood up, went over to help Song Zhan, and said with a smile: "I still need to rely on you, so please take care of yourself!"
After Song Zhan left, the prince called a few people to come and make arrangements for tonight.
The last one is the chamberlain.
"Go tell him it's time to take medicine."
The chamberlain bowed, walked backwards to the outside of the hall, turned around and left.
…
"I'm hungry." He Lianfeng put down the memorial.
"Slave, let's go take a look." He Zhong lowered his head.
After a while, the food was delivered, including roast beef that was exquisitely cooked.
"It tastes good." He Lianfeng praised.
He Zhong said with a smile: "The new cook's skills look good."
…
"What if we kill He Lianfeng?"
The old thief is looking forward to his ambition.
"Not at all." Tu Shang shook his head.
The two of them sat in the open space outside the house, enjoying the autumn wind and basking in the sun.
"Once He Lianfeng dies, Lin Ya and others will definitely start an uprising. Then there will be chaos within Beiliao, and the Northern Xinjiang army will take advantage of the situation to attack..." the old thief said happily.
"Even if Beiliao is destroyed, what good will it do to Lang Jun?" Tu Chang asked.
The old thief laughed dryly and said, "How about getting promoted and getting rich!"
"Promote and make a fortune?" Tu Shang said calmly: "Without Northern Liao, Northern Xinjiang will become useless. At that time, where will Lang Jun go to serve? Southern Xinjiang? Or Chang'an."
Southern Xinjiang is other people's territory, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere.
Chang'an...that means entering the whirlpool.
"What do you think?"
"I think...it might be better if you become a military governor."
"Why do you say that?"
"Everything Lang Jun does in the city is to win over people's hearts and attack the three major ministries. I often think that once he was the emperor and his ministers, Lang Jun was just the governor, so what do you do to win over people's hearts? What do you think?"
"Uh! Of course I love my people as my own children."
"Yeah?"
"Of course."
"That's it!"
The old thief found Yang Xuan later.
"The villain always feels that Tu Gong has noticed something."
"If you notice it, just notice it!"
Yang Xuan didn't care about this.
Tu Chang had no children, was alone, and was not young at all.
"He has lived to this extent and has seen through the world. If it were not for his second son, he would become a walking corpse. He would even go crazy and assassinate Nian Xu and kill himself."
The old thief sighed, "At this age, I often think about what I want to do with my life. After thinking about it..."
Yang Xuan looked at him, wondering if he would say something shocking.
"Of course it's for promotion and wealth!"
…
The time has come.
Yang Xuan and others entered the palace under the setting sun.
Two rows of tall guards stood on both sides, looking at each other intently.
When people walk through it, they will feel a little depressed.
Yang Xuan smiled, "What kind of formation is this?"
He walked to the middle and stopped.
Everyone behind him also stopped.
Yang Xuan looked at the guard on the left, up and down, left and right, and finally patted his chest with his hand.
"Something interesting."
Yang Xuan continued to move forward.
The chamberlain leading the way smiled and asked, "How do you feel, Commander Yang?"
"Flower display!"
The waiter had a dark face and never spoke again.
"To be honest, no one listens."
Yang Xuan looked at Lin Ya.
Lin Ya and more than ten ministers were standing in front.
On the other side were more than twenty civil and military officials.
The two sides are clearly distinct.
The third prince came early and was very busy.
"Your Majesty." The third prince came over, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "You're a little early, but you can go to the side hall to serve tea."
Wang Deng glanced at Yang Xuan.
I don't know since when, he, the envoy, became Yang Xuan's follower.
"No need." Yang Xuan said, "We just want to consult with you gentlemen."
When the officials over there heard this, they all looked sideways.
Messengers are required to be dignified, that is, speak less.
But this guy doesn't seem to follow the rules very well.
The third prince smiled and said: "Yang Jijun is very talented in poetry. I think I can find a close friend."
This is a polite statement.
Yang Xuan sighed suddenly.
"The king's poems are powerful and majestic. Yang couldn't put them down. He often recited them in his spare time, and his teeth and cheeks were fragrant. But the king didn't take it seriously. It shows that he has a broad mind!"
Liang Jing followed immediately, "That day I saw a servant made a mistake. The king only warned him but did not punish him. This kind of kindness moved Liang."
Wang Deng stroked his beard and nodded, "I am old. I have seen countless people in my life, but none of them are like a king..."
The third prince's face was slightly red, and he felt a sense of pleasure similar to that he felt when having sex with a woman.
This is called fluttering.
Being patted by someone can produce such pleasure, keep patting, and feel pleasure... A man's waist function is limited, and the number of times of pleasure is also limited. But there is no limit to the number of times of patting...
It’s so cool to keep flirting with me!
The prince was on the other side, surrounded by several people.
"Those three people are shameless!" someone cursed.
"They wanted to achieve their goals through the Third Prince, but they lost all face of the Tang Dynasty."
The prince said calmly: "Do something."
Everyone's heart trembled, "Yes."
He should go to the main hall first.
Asked softly: "How is it outside?"
"appropriate!"
"How is it in the palace?"
"appropriate."
"Then, I will make this palace change its color today!"
…
When the prince grew up, he wanted to leave the palace and build a mansion. He Lianfeng's five sons, the prince was in the palace and the other four princes were outside the palace.
The third prince is also in the palace today.
The second prince, He Lianxiao, was drinking in the mansion.
"How's it going over there, Prince?"
He Lianxiao was tall and tall, and the one with the highest cultivation level among the princes.
The counselor next to him said: "His Royal Highness asked the king to stay on guard and wait until the Tang Dynasty envoy leaves to take action."
"Then... there are still a few more days!" He Lianxiao sneered, "Let them live for a few more days."
The counselor smiled: "Yes, your Majesty is merciful."
The other two princes were eating, drinking and having fun at home, doing nothing.
In the palace, Helianfeng appeared.
"I have met His Majesty."
"Everyone is safe."
He Lianfeng pressed his hands with a smile.
Then the food and wine were served.
After three drinks, Wang Deng raised a glass to wish He Lianfeng longevity.
Then, Yang Xuan stood up.
"The Southern Zhou Dynasty was rude to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty prepared to send troops to punish them. They took ten cities from the Southern Zhou Dynasty and then withdrew."
Haven't we already said this?
He Lianfeng glanced at the prince.
The prince glanced at the third prince.
The third prince stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have already said this before, and Daliao will never agree to it!"
Such perseverance! Everyone couldn’t help laughing.
Someone said: "Isn't this the new famous general from Northern Xinjiang, Commander Yang Xuanyang? Why has he learned to be shameless?"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed wildly.
Yang Xuan looked calm.
Lin Ya slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty has been quite disrespectful to the Liao Dynasty in recent years. I think this matter is not wrong!"
The hall became quiet.
Lin Ya objected to anything the emperor approved of.
Nothing wrong!
He Lianfeng said calmly: "Let's discuss it again!"
good!
Wang Deng's face glowed red.
This matter has opened a hole!
Lin Ya sat down and glanced at Yang Xuan inadvertently.
I can give you some advice and approval, and the rest... I’ll just wait to see your performance.
If the performance fails, I don't mind breaking my promise and withdrawing my approved advice.
Yang Xuan smiled, "Thank you, Prime Minister Lin."
Then he toasted to the third prince, "In the past few days, the king's demeanor has impressed the foreign ministers deeply."
The third prince raised his glass and glanced at the prince.
There was more smile in the prince's eyes and he was very kind.
Then.
Get up.
"Go and change your clothes alone!"
The wind suddenly started blowing outside!
call!
The prince was escorted out of the hall by two chamberlains, his clothes rustling in the wind.
Turn left.
A chamberlain nodded slightly from the side.
OK!
When the prince was changing his clothes, there was a chamberlain by his side.
"Get in position outside."
"Take your place in the palace."
The prince's whole body trembled, and then he lifted up his pants comfortably.
Turn around.
"That Chenzhou governor has become addicted to praising Lao San in recent days, so let them go together tonight."
