Hidden Blade Chapter 67: Bargaining Chips
As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the younger brother of His Majesty, Yu Wenyang had a very comfortable life for the first thirty years.
Eating, drinking, having fun, and having a good look, the biggest worry every day is whether I should go hunting for horse racing today or drinking and listening to music.
Yu Wenyang once thought that such days would last forever, until the day he died, but unfortunately, the sky was unfulfilled, and his brother who had rarely contacted him since he became the throne was in his forty At the three-year-old birthday banquet, the idea of establishing a prince was suddenly raised.
This is naturally a matter of course.
But his emperor's brother, who has been in power for more than 19 years, has never given birth to an heir for so many years. Then if he wants to establish a prince, he can find nothing more than the collateral royal family, and as the brother of Emperor Tai Yuan's father and mother, he is naturally the best choice.
Although Yu Wenyang looks to most people in Chang'an City as just a wine bag and rice bag, his round figure and fat face are all confirming this to the world without exception.
In fact, Yu Wenyang, who was only sixteen years old at the time, could survive the knife of Yu Wenluo who decided to slaughter all the princes, but he did not rely on being single as Yu Wenluo's brother.
He is actually very smart, at least smarter than most of the dignitaries in Chang'an City who think about how to do the calculations every day.
He understands very well that if he wants to live in this grotesque Chang'an city, he needs to do two things, Yu Yuwenluo is harmless and Yu Zhuxian is harmless.
What Yuwenluo wants is to keep the throne, so he hides all his thoughts, and does not show even a little envy to the throne at any time; what about Zhu Xian? Zhu Xian is more troublesome. He can't tolerate dissidents. Even a little threat to him likes to obliterate him in the cradle. So Yu Wenyang simply plunges into this flowery world, never asking about the ruling and the opposition, even Whenever someone asks, he always asks three questions.
With these, he lived happily for more than 30 years.
It wasn't until the farce in the palace not long ago that this prince, who had been forgotten by everyone, entered the sight of everyone again.
This is an event that can be regarded as a catastrophe for His Royal Highness King Yu. Zhu Xian’s conspiracy of rebellion has almost reached the point where everyone knows. He can use various methods to solve Emperor Tai Yuan. As the Emperor Taiyuan had no queen, the fate of the throne would become a problem, which gave Zhu Xian a chance. Once the crown prince is established, the kings of the various vassal states will have reasons to be king, which will undoubtedly add many variables. With Zhuxian's thought of being intolerant of others, how can I make Yu Wenyang feel better?
As there are more and more rumors about Yu Wenyang becoming a prince among the various ministries, Yu Wenyang can obviously feel that there are many strange faces in front of his mansion that they have never seen before, and they are always in the mansion every day. Outside, wandering back and forth like a hound.
Yiyu Wenyang’s ability to fight against Zhu Xian is no different than hitting a rock with an egg. He thought for a long time and finally realized that Zhu Xian could not let him go this time. Therefore, he made up his mind and came to heaven. In front of Ce's Mansion, there was a knock on the lintel of this mansion.
With a very worried mood, Yu Wenyang stood in front of the gate of this mansion for more than ten minutes. Only then did a mansion army come to him again, and bowed to him and said: "Inside the lord Please."
Yu Wenyang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Since Xu Han was willing to see him, at least it showed that the other party did not resist him. Thinking of this, Yu Wenyang hurriedly followed the footsteps of the mansion and moved towards the mansion. Go.
Yu Wenyang, who was walking in the mansion of Tiance Mansion, carefully observed the situation in the mansion.
The mansion of Tiance Mansion is naturally very large, but the part used is very small. It looks like a few hundred people, but it is extremely busy. From time to time, one or two persons in charge of the mansion can be seen leading some obvious things. People who looked like ordinary people came and went in and out of the mansion, and they were angry or sad and said something to the personnel of Tiance Mansion.
I heard that Palace Master Xu set up a drum for voicing grievances in front of the gate of Tiance Mansion. The people who came from all over Changan these days to vindicate grievances are very happy, and even the case has come out. The people thought of it for the first time It was not the official mansion in the capital, but the position of the Xu Palace Master.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" At this moment, there was a crying chant, and Yu Wenyang followed the prestige, only to see an old lady in plain clothes kneeling on the body of an army soldier. Before, said excitedly. The army army tried to help the old woman several times but returned without success.
"Come to Yanyan, please kneel down for your benefactor!" It seems that this is not enough to express my gratitude, the old woman pulled aside and the one who looked very cute and pleasant Girl, the girl also knelt down at that time, and said to the army: "Thank you, En Gong, for your life-saving grace."
"This is a matter of the next minute, please get up soon." The army army obviously couldn't resist the mother and daughter. At that time, he continued to say, but still couldn't stop the mother and daughter's behavior.
Yu Wenyang seemed to have never seen such a situation before, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times because he felt so curious.
"The woman's husband is a gambler. After getting drunk three days ago, he gambled with others. After losing his red eyes, he used the sixteen-year-old daughter as a bargaining chip and pressed it up."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from Yu Wenyang's ear.
He was an agitated, bloated body that turned around with difficulty at that time, but his goal was an indifferent and clean face. Although there was only one side, Yu Wenyang recognized the person at a glance.
"Palace Master." He hurriedly said.
He is the prince and Xu Han is the Taiwei. The identities of the two are very different. It should be Xu Han who salutes him. However, Yu Wenyang, who is accustomed to bowing in the city of Chang'an, does not realize that he is there, on the contrary It is to make this courtesy frank, frank and respectful.
Xu Han received a courtesy from the prince, and he also didn't realize what was wrong, he nodded lightly, which was regarded as a courtesy.
"Palace Lord, come here next time..." Yu Wenyang, who came to Tiance Mansion with a pleasurable heart, showed great respect in both his attitude and words, but when he was about to Tan Ming's intention this time, Xu Han stretched out his hand at that time and blocked Yu Wenyang's words to his lips.
"How does His Royal Highness Yu feel about my Tiance Mansion?" the young Palace Master asked.
His Royal Highness Yu Wang, who weighs a full two hundred catties away, is eager to know Xu Han's attitude, but with a pleasurable mentality, on the surface, he has to choose to go with the Lord of the Palace. Therefore, he squeezed an unpleasant smile on his fat face, and then said: "Antique, heavy, but elegant and unconventional."
Yu Wenyang, who hadn't read the seriousness for several years, said these two rhetoric for a while.
However, such beautiful words did not provoke Xu Han's half-hearted joy. The Young Palace Master of Tiance Mansion still looked at him calmly.
Now Yu Wenyang is a little confused about Xu Han's mind.
He scratched the back of his head, and decided to change his language and praise the Palace Master Xu: "Majestic and unique."
But Xu Han still didn't speak.
This made Yu Wenyang panic suddenly, he became increasingly unable to see the thoughts of this Master Xu, and for this reason, dense sweat began to appear on his forehead.
"Palace Master, what does this mean?" He couldn't help asking.
"Master Yu Wang is in big trouble on the stall."
Xu Han's expressionless words made it difficult for the expression on his face to examine his true thoughts at the moment. "Wang Yu wants Tiance Mansion to help you withstand this trouble... If he can't even be honest, he is not sincere."
"This..." Yu Wenyang was taken aback when he heard the words, but Xu Han's voice sounded again at this moment.
"So, King Yu has one last chance, how does King Yu feel like he is in the Heavenly Strategy Mansion?"
At this moment, Yu Wenyang finally understood Xu Han's meaning, but he inevitably still hesitated, some did not understand why this Palace Master Xu cared so much about this matter, or there were other deep meanings. Yu Wenyang secretly weighed how to answer this question in order to satisfy Xu Han, but at this moment he met Xu Han's cold eyes. He was shocked, and he knew Xu Han from these eyes. What just said was not false.
As long as he doesn't give the answer Xu Han wants, it is very likely that Palace Master Xu will expel him from Tiance Mansion.
Yu Wenyang, who was thinking about it this way, simply froze, and finally said like this: "It's tattered and unsightly."
After all, Yu Wenyang is the prince of Da Zhou. Whether it is the occasion where he enters or goes out of his own residence, which part of his residence is not decorated with magnificent decorations, but the Tiance Mansion in front of him, except for the larger ones, it really does not exist. Anything desirable.
After saying this, Yu Wenyang felt a little regretful in his heart. He carefully looked at Xu Han for fear that the palace lord's face would show a half of dissatisfaction at the moment.
"Since His Royal Highness King Yu has also seen the status quo of my Tiance Mansion, why did he choose to cooperate with Tiance Mansion?" Xu Han's expression did not change as a result, he still asked indifferently. road.
Hearing this question, Yu Wenyang couldn’t help but his heart, if it weren’t for Zhu Xian’s posture that he was going to die, how could he choose to go to Tiance Mansion, Xu Han should be clear to anyone with a discerning eye, Yu Wenyang Can’t help but wonder, with the wisdom and skill that Palace Master Xu showed after coming to Chang’an, he shouldn’t ask such questions. Yu Wenyang felt that this Palace Master Xu would never be so naive to think that he came to take refuge because of some reasons such as socialism or common people's righteousness, right?
Xu Han also seemed to see something from the different color on Yu Wenyang's face. His Gu Bo's unsurprised face finally changed a little at that time, "Or I can ask another question."
Xu Han's eyes suddenly narrowed at that time~IndoMTL.com~His voice also became a little deep.
"Tiance Mansion helped His Highness to block this trouble, but how can we ensure that when everything calms down, and when others draw some attractive chips, His Highness Yu Wang will not become my Tiance Mansion? Where is the enemy?"
When these words were spoken, Yu Wenyang's face suddenly flushed. He heard many things from Xu Han's words, such as Xu Han's confidence in solving this trouble. He hurriedly said excitedly: "Palace Master Xu, don't worry, I'm Yuwen..."
"Wang Yu is a clever man, and since he is a clever man, I thought I wouldn't need these indifferent cutscenes." Xu Han interrupted Yu Wenyang's vow that he was about to blurt out.
Yu Wenyang was stunned, and soon returned to his senses. A touch of determination appeared on his bloated face, and he asked solemnly: "Then please let the palace master clearly indicate what you want to do next."
"I want His Highness to do something for me."
"What's the matter?"
"One thing that is enough to make Lord Zhu hate His Highness!"
