Chapter 1633 Li Zan: Why should he be stingy if he is allowed to live a life of glory and wealth?
The next day, Funing Palace
In the late autumn of October in the first year of Jianxing, a pattering autumn rain enveloped the land of Guanzhong, bringing with it a hint of coldness. The glazed tiles with double eaves and hooked corners seemed to be covered with a layer of fine rainwater.
In the palace, inside the pavilion with windows and windows——
The noble concubine has a dignified and gorgeous bun with black silk hair. The beauty wears a sky blue dress with a slender waist and a high waist, which accentuates the beauty's gracefulness and tranquility, and her extraordinary temperament.
At this moment, the beauty stood quietly in front of the window, looking at the hazy mist and rain outside the window, her beautiful eyes shining in a daze.
Concubine Duanrong couldn't help but feel a sense of worry, or perhaps it was because of a small note sent by Li Zan.
King Wei has left the capital, and the east wind has arrived!
Concubine Duanrong raised her head with green hair like a waterfall, and under her slender eyebrows like a spring mountain, a dignified look could not help but appear in her twinkling eyes.
Next, it's time to make a decision.
At this moment, a nun came into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eighth Prince is back."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong suppressed the worries in her heart for the time being, left the dormitory, and headed towards the outer palace.
While speaking, Concubine Duanrong stared at the handsome young man wearing the python costume of the feudal lord, and said with a bit of joy in her voice: "Ze'er, you are back."
Chen Ze is already twelve or thirteen years old. His face is sparse and clear, his figure is as straight and straight as a pine tree, and his face already shows a heroic look.
It was precisely because Li Zan saw Chen Ze's outstanding appearance and grace that he decided to help Chen Ze ascend the throne.
Chen Ze raised his head, his face as white as jade full of surprise, and asked: "Concubine, why are you frowning in deep thought?"
Concubine Duanrong smiled and said: "Concubine, I didn't think deeply about anything, I just missed your father."
When Chen Ze heard this, his eyes dimmed slightly and he said, "It has been a year or two since my father passed away."
Concubine Duanrong said softly, "Hmm," and said, "Ze'er, what did you teach me in the school today?"
After Lu Li was exiled to Yunnan, the teaching master in the imperial palace was replaced by a new bachelor's degree from the Hanlin Academy. Chen Ze's training also followed the training of the clan vassals.
Chen Ze came to sit on a pearwood chair and said softly: "Back to my concubine, my master has taught me the book of commandments."
Concubine Duanrong smiled and said loudly: "The Book of Commandments to Sons, this is a letter written by Zhuge Kongming to his son. Without indifference, there will be no clear aspirations, and without tranquility, there will be no progress."
Chen Zedao: "My mother and concubine usually educate me like this."
Under the plump eyebrows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, she looked at Chen Ze with warm eyes and said softly: "Yes."
However, if my son wants to sit in that position in the future, he can no longer be so uncontested.
Seeing his mother in a daze, Chen Ze whispered, "Mother, what are you thinking about right now?"
The imperial concubine's charming and flowing eyes, under her emerald willow eyebrows, said loudly: "I'm not thinking about anything."
As the beauty spoke, she came close enough to reach out, gently put her arm around Chen Ze's shoulders, and murmured: "Ze'er, you will be a good emperor in the future."
The words that followed were almost unnoticeable, but Concubine Duanrong's eyes were dazed, as if she was thinking about something.
There seemed to be a look of surprise on Chen Ze's jade-white face, and he said, "Mother, what were you talking about just now?"
The imperial concubine Duanrong's face was calm, she forced herself to smile, put her arm around Chen Ze's shoulder, and said, "I didn't say anything, Ze'er, you have to study hard these days. In a few days, the concubine will give you a test on your homework."
of."
Chen Ze said "hmm" and felt a sense of surprise in his heart.
The concubine seemed to have mentioned the emperor just now?
Maybe he heard it wrong?
Palace Garden,Kunning Palace
Zhen Qingyun has a beautiful bun and is sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress. Her long and narrow, clear phoenix eyes are rippling with light.
The two siblings, Chen Jie and Yinyin, were sitting next to a small table, eating fruit. The two siblings had palm-sized faces and bright smiles on their faces, clearly enjoying themselves.
This pair of siblings were chatting and laughing non-stop.
Under Zhen Qing's slender willow eyebrows, her narrow, clear eyes glowed with warmth, and she asked, "Has King Wei left the city?"
"Go back to the Queen Mother, King Wei has left the city." The female official said.
Zhen Qing nodded, and immediately, her phoenix eyes flashed coldly, and she warned: "Let people keep their eyes on the direction of Funing Palace."
The female officer responded softly, then turned and left.
Zhen Qing stood in front of the window, looking towards the direction of Funing Palace. A look of sullenness appeared on her face as white as snow.
No one can take the throne from her son!
Just wait, after all these people are picked out, she will catch them all.
In the palace where Queen Song lives——
Empress Song was dressed in a vermilion dress, with a slim and graceful figure. She stood quietly in front of the window with a beautiful bun, and a soft couch covered with a mattress behind her.
Queen Song whispered: "King Wei is gone?"
The female official behind her suddenly paused, looked at Empress Song, and said softly: "My dear, King Wei has already set off."
Empress Song sighed faintly and said: "Really...go to Funing Palace and ask Concubine Duanrong to come over and talk together."
The female officer replied quietly, then turned and left.
Empress Song stared at the scenery outside the window, and saw the misty autumn rain pouring down, covering the entire palace with double eaves and hooked corners, and the glistening glazed tiles seemed to be wet.
After a while, the female official left and returned, and at the same time, Concubine Duanrong came from Funing Palace.
Queen Song said: "Sister, you are here."
Princess Duanrong raised her emerald eyebrows, her eyes were warm, and she said loudly: "Yes, sister, the weather is getting cold, so you should wear more clothes."
Empress Song frowned slightly, and said with no less worry in her voice: "Sister, Ziyu went to Taiyuan, and I feel a little uneasy. I always feel that something will happen in the capital in the near future."
Concubine Duanrong felt nervous and asked, "Ziyu is just going to provide disaster relief. Why is my sister not settled?"
As expected of someone who has had skin-to-skin contact, she has already begun to worry about her lover's safety.
Beauty couldn't help but think of the secret exchange between the two. She was really... an adulterer and an adulterer, passionately in love.
That day, the visual impact and heart-stirring scene almost left a stamp of thought on Concubine Duanrong's heart.
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, and her cold, jade-like white face gradually gained a layer of worry. She was silent for a moment and said, "There is something wrong with the atmosphere in Beijing."
Concubine Duanrong asked: "What's wrong?"
Could it be that my sister noticed something?
However, now that Ziyu is still outside, even if my sister wants to tip off her lover, she probably won't be able to.
Concubine Duanrong said in a low voice: "Sister, Xianning has also had her confinement period in Jinyang. Let her come over with the baby in her arms."
If a conflict really breaks out, Xianning and her two children will be in the palace, and Ziyu's accomplices outside will also be able to throw a tantrum at them.
Wait until Ze'er ascends the throne and becomes emperor, and then pardon Zi Yu in the future.
Thinking of the young man in python suit, Concubine Duanrong sighed quietly in her heart.
Empress Song responded softly and said: "Then I will ask the eunuch to go to Jinyang Mansion to talk to her, and let her bring her children over and have a fun together."
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong's beautiful, sparkling eyes flickered under her slender, curved eyebrows.

On the official road sixty miles away from Shenjing City, you can hear the "clack-clack" sound of horse hooves, followed by smoke and dust, and you can't see the end at a glance.
Jia Heng holds a horse rein as thick as a finger and wears a black and red satin python suit. He rides his horse. Behind him are the imperial guards in brocade clothes. A murderous aura silently sweeps across all directions, which makes people feel nervous.
trembling.
The cavalry was so vast, with smoke and dust billowing behind them, that it was impossible to see the end.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Not far ahead is Weinan County. The guards of the various prefectures should speed up."
I'm afraid that Li Zan and others can no longer sit still in the capital.
In his opinion, it was probably Li Zan and others who led troops and horses into the palace, then welcomed the eighth prince Chen Ze, and then issued a decree declaring him a traitor to the king.
As Jia Heng led the Jinyi Palace Guards to Shanxi, the originally turbulent torrent in the entire Shenjing City quickly surged.
Shenjing City, Cao Zhai
In the courtyard with high red walls, it was raining at dusk, and the vision was blurry. The rainwater slapped on the eaves, making a crackling sound, while the sycamore leaves were swaying in the wind.
At this moment, Cao Bianjiao was wearing the python suit worn by the Marquis. He was sitting on a pearwood chair in the spacious study room. He was holding a letter with a light yellow cover in his hand. Under his high eyebrows,
His eyes were dark and unpredictable, and his expression was ever-changing.
The servant came closer and said, "Sir, the people outside are still waiting for a reply."
Cao Bianjiao was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Just go over and say... I have read the letter."
When the servant heard this, he was stunned for a moment, said nothing, accepted the offer, then turned and left.
Cao Bianjiao raised his eyebrows and watched his servant go away, his expression changing, and finally he sighed.
King Wei, maybe you are right?
After all, this world is not a world of one family and one surname, and it is time to make a choice.
In these years, King Wei served the people of Kyushu, fought in the south and north, and presided over the Chongping New Deal. It can be said that he worked hard and made great achievements. His contribution is in the present and will benefit the future.
Cao Bianjiao closed his eyes tightly, but he had already made some decisions in his heart.
…
…
Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, Rear House, Waterside Pavilion
In a pavilion with double eaves and hooked corners, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing. He had gray hair and a stooped body. There were waves of thinking on his resolute face.
"Master, the son who claims to be Mr. Li Ge is asking to see the master." An old housekeeper from the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion came closer and slowly came to Yan Ye and said in a clear voice.
"Lao Li Ge's son?" Yan Ye turned his head, with a somewhat lazy look on his face with gray temples, and his eyes were extremely cloudy under his drooped eyelids.
Yan Ye put down the fishing rod in his hand and said, "Son of Mr. Li Ge, what is he doing here at this time?"
While he was talking, he took off his bamboo hat and stood up. The servant on the side quickly held an umbrella and followed him, and then he went to the flower hall in the front yard.
At this moment, Li Zan's son Li Yi stood up slowly, looked at Yan Ye, bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "I have met the prince."
Yan Ye's eyes were deep and his face was slightly solemn. He waved his hand and said, "I am no longer a prince."
Li Yi said: "Your Majesty, my father said that as long as he wants to, he will still be the prince."
Yan Ye looked solemn, his old eyes filled with surprise, and asked: "Oh?"
Li Yi didn't say much. He stood up quickly and said, "This is a letter from my father. I would like to ask Prince Nan'an to read it."
While talking, he took a letter from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
Yan Ye took the envelope, lowered his eyes to open it and read it. A touch of emotion appeared on his old face, and his originally droopy eyes suddenly opened.
"What does Mr. Li Ge mean?"
He finally waited for this day.
Qing Jun is on his side and he will kill the traitors!
Li Yi said righteously: "My father has worked hard for the Han Dynasty. Now that traitors are in power and are endangering everyone, my father has no choice but to punish the traitors, but there are no loyal ministers and righteous people around him."
Yan Ye raised his sword eyebrows, looked with burning eyes, and said loudly: "What does Mr. Li Ge mean?"
Li Yi said: "Now in the capital camp, Shanhaihou Cao Bianjiao and other brave and loyal generals are willing to respond to his father and kill the traitors together. However, they are alone. The prince of Nan'an County still hopes to go to the capital camp to participate in the grand event."
Under Yan Ye's gray eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and he said: "King Wei is a man of extraordinary wisdom, courage, and many tricks. If someone like him is sitting in the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to execute Jia."
This is the fear of Jia Heng, and it is also the great reputation Jia Heng has built over the years.
Li Yi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The Taiyuan earthquake happened a few days ago. King Wei received the imperial order and went to Taiyuan, Shanxi to provide relief to the victims. He is no longer in the capital at the moment. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
When Yan Ye heard this, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably shocked, and he quickly calculated the success rate of this matter in his heart.
It’s not surprising that Yan Ye was cautious about what he did, it was just because Jia Heng had such a good reputation that everything went smoothly from the 14th year of Chongping to the first year of Jianxing. Anyone who went against him would not end well.
Li Yi looked calm and suddenly said: "Father, I would like to ask the prince, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"
Yan Ye's heart was agitated, his sunken cheeks flushed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "I hope you can tell Mr. Li Ge that for the sake of the Han Dynasty, Ye is willing to run away!"
Li Yi looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, my father said that after the matter is completed, the title of county king can be restored and the Yan family's reputation can be revitalized."
Yan Ye cupped his hands and said loudly: "Ye dare not ask for anything extravagant. I only hope that the Han Dynasty will last forever and the country will be stable."
Seeing this, Li Yi nodded, said nothing else, and left the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.
After Li Yi left, Prince Nan'an left the flower hall and returned to the back house.
At this moment, Princess Nan'an happened to come from the back house, saw Yan Ye, caught the look on his face, and said loudly: "Ye'er, what's going on?"
"Mother, if it doesn't take long, that little Jia Heng will be dead." Yan Ye had a smile on his old face, and he was full of energy.
Hearing this, the old concubine Nan'an couldn't help being surprised and then happy, and said: "What exactly do you say?"
Prince Nan'an's face paused slightly, his eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice: "The loyal ministers and righteous men in the imperial court, seeing that Jia's thieves are causing trouble to the country, have decided to attack in groups and kill the thieves."
When Princess Nan'an heard this, she was overjoyed and said loudly: "Ye'er, is it true? The sky is really wise. Jia Heng has been a villain in recent years, but he has often bullied our Yan family. Now he can be regarded as
There is retribution.”
In the past few years, due to the Northwest War, the Duke of Nan'an was deprived of the title of the Duke who had been replaced by a sudden attack, and was renamed a first-class marquis. The Yan family's reputation has plummeted since then.
Concubine Nan'an placed all the blame for this incident on Jia Heng.
Yan Ye came to the back house with excitement in his heart. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a figure in a green skirt opposite, it was Yan Yiliu.
Yan Yiliu said softly: "Father, why are you here?"
He also caught the joy on his father's face, and was secretly surprised.
Yan Ye stared at Yan Yiliu, who looked a little haggard, and felt pity in his heart, and said: "Yiliu, not long after, our family will be able to regain the title of county king."
Yan Yiliu: "???"
What's going on? Why does your father bring this up so well?
Yan Yiliu was silent for a moment and then said in surprise: "Father, is it possible that there is an imperial edict from the palace?"
Under Yan Ye's thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not an imperial decree, it's Qingjun's side."
When Yan Yiliu heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.
Because these three words have always been exclusive terms for rebellion.
Yan Ye looked at Yan Yiliu with calm eyes and said: "Yiliu, after my father regains the title of county king, I will ask someone to arrange a good marriage for you."
Yan Yiliu heard this and said, "Father, I never want to get married again in this life."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You are still young, why don't you want to get married?" Prince Nan'an said.
Yan Yiliu sighed and said, "Father, I just want to be filial to my father for the rest of my life, and no one else has time to care."
Yan Ye saw the look on Yan Yiliu's face, sighed softly and said: "That's it, that's it."
Yan Ye said and walked towards the backyard.
He needs to contact the old headquarters in the capital, otherwise, even if Cao Bianjiao responds, it will be very difficult to successfully take over the Shenjing City.
Li's house, in the study
Li Zan stood in front of the screen with his hands behind his back, looking at the map of the sacred city, his eyes flashing with thought from time to time.
Cao Bianjiao is in charge of the Jingying camp. He can capture Cai Quan and other members of the King of Wei immediately, and then enter the sacred city of Jing to suppress the guards of Jinyi Mansion.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department also needed people to control it, and Yan Ye was responsible for this part.
In addition, there are the core internal guards of the palace, which are controlled by the trusted generals of the Jia clan. Not long ago, Empress Zhen re-installed people from the Zhen family. Now is the time to be wary of each other, and this is their opportunity.
Li Zan was thinking in his mind.
Now that Xie Zaiyi is no longer in the capital, and King Wei has gone to Taiyuan again, there is no more appropriate time than this.
At this moment, the old servant entered the study from outside and said: "Master, the young master is back."
While talking, Li Yi came in from outside and said: "Father."
Li Zan turned around, looked at the old servant, and asked, "Has the letter been delivered to Yan's Mansion?"
"My son handed it over to Yan Ye personally, and Yan Ye happily agreed." Li Yi said.
Li Zan nodded and said: "Okay, okay."
Now that everything is ready, it will be launched in a while.
Li Yi said: "Father, King Wei is highly respected outside, and his party members are all over the local counties. If he raises troops to rebel outside and attacks the capital, and the Duke of Liao in Sichuan responds, I am afraid that the land of Sanfu will not be obtained.
Save."
Li Zan said: "You can take this into consideration, which shows that you have made progress."
Li Yi said: "Father, please make it clear."
Li Zan said: "The Ning and Rong mansions and all their female relatives are all in Shenjing."
Li Yi lost his voice and said: "Father?"
Li Zan gave a bitter smile and said: "I know what you want to say, as a father, this is not what a gentleman would do, but for the sake of the Han Dynasty, why should I cherish my posthumous reputation? If King Wei is willing to return to the Chen family and leisurely stay under the forest, then
At that time, the emperor would not kill them all, reduce their titles, and let them live in glory and wealth, so why be stingy?"
If King Wei really makes trouble outside, then the world will be shattered and the country will be in chaos.
It can be said that at this moment, Li Zan has already thought about how to clean up the mess after success.
