The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 163

? Luo Huaiyuan’s recent small movements are so many that it will inevitably fall into Yan Yan’s eyes.

Nowadays, Luo Huaiyuan doesn’t hide Yan Yan a lot of things. Although she didn’t ask carefully, she still has a general idea of ​​what men want to do.

Yan Yan really couldn’t understand why Luo Huaiyuan would want to work **** King Jing’s side, because from any aspect, King Jing had no advantage.

However, Yan Yan really didn’t understand the affairs of the court. She could only see some clues from the increasingly low-key handling of the government of Zhenguo in recent years. One more thing is Yan Mo.

Juren, who Yan Mo had passed the exam two years earlier, did not end the exam in a hurry, but fell silent, staying at home with nothing to do all day long, and occasionally discussing poems with his friends who had been able to talk about it. Recently these days, I suddenly decided to go out for a walk. I just sent a letter to Yan Yan. The letter said that I would go to Fuzhou for a trip as a study tour.

Study Tour?

There are too many people in the Shen family who like to go out to study and travel. Luo Huaiyuan also gave an explanation to Yan Mo who was clearly able to end but did not end. The timing was inappropriate.

So when is the right time? No one knows.

Yan Yan was indignant, and Luo Huaiyuan comforted her for a few years.

Knowing that her younger brother will be leaving Beijing after the New Year, Yan Yan was very concerned, and she wrote a thick stack of letters, not to mention all kinds of food, drink, and fun. Shen Yiyao prepared the New Year’s gift and transported a few trucks to Beijing.

Luo Huaiyuan couldn’t laugh or cry, saying that Yan Yan didn’t need to worry so much. Shen Qi, Shen Xuan, and Shen Zhen were all in Fuzhou. Yan Mo went to walk sideways and it was all right. Didn’t you let him take so many things out of the house? Isn’t it a joke? Of course, he was a little jealous. When he went out, his daughter-in-law did not worry about him so much.

Yan Yan is too lazy to argue with him, can it be the same? Luo Huaiyuan was a bull who ran to Fuzhou where pirates were flooded at the age of twelve. He not only retreated, but also dug the biggest pot of gold in his life. Amo couldn’t be compared with him. Amo was still that weak and in need of passport materials in Yan Yan’s mind.

After hearing this, Luo Huaiyuan rolled his eyes.

It’s messy if you care! Is Yan Mo weak and in need of care? Well, from the outside, it is indeed true, but Luo Huaiyuan, who has not shown his brother-in-law for years, knows that his brother-in-law is actually a black belly who is accustomed to pretending to be. So sometimes the appearance of a person is also an advantage, and having a seemingly innocent and weak face is also an advantage.

Yan Mo, who was far away in the capital, naturally did not feel Luo Huaiyuan’s resentment.

At this moment, he was suffering from a headache. Since he said that he wanted to go outside, even if he chose Fuzhou, where his mother was most at ease, he did not dispel Shen Yiyao’s worries about him.

After Shen Yiyao remarried, Yan Mo changed residence between Qi Mansion and Zhen Guo Gong Mansion, mostly in Zhen Guo Gong Mansion. After this happened, Shen Yiyao forced Yan Mo to be taken to the Qi mansion. She surrounded Yan Mo with her mother’s love every day, and asked her all kinds of worries so that Yan Mo was going crazy.

Yan Mo couldn’t handle his mother, so he could only ask for help from his stepdad Qi Ran. Fortunately, the two used to be very good partners. There was Yan Mo’s explanation in the front and Qi Ran’s relief in the back, which gradually dispelled Shen Yiyao’s worries.

In a blink of an eye it was the time of the New Year again.

Every time when the New Year was approaching, it was the time when King Jin was most proud of the scenery. Due to the lack of security of the dragon’s body for the past six months, King Jin relied on his fief to be close to the capital, and he came up with filial piety every few days. All kinds of rare and exotic treasures, delicacies of mountains and seas, and rare medicinal materials were sent to Beijing in turn, one car and one car, one team and one team, dazzling people’s attention.

Returning to the peach and repaying the plum, with such a filial son, Emperor Xi naturally wanted to show his face to him, and even more frequently called the king of Jin to return to Beijing. The frequency was surprisingly frequent, and the prince was uneasy.

Fortunately, Luo Huai was far away in Yunzhou, and what happened in the capital was extremely far away from him. He just watched, what else should he do. He has his beloved daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and his family is the happiest thing, so why bother to envy others to tease the dog.

It’s just that the recent actions of Emperor Xi are really puzzling, and Luo Huaiyuan can’t figure it out. Because according to the current situation, it seems that he is gradually losing control. Is it possible that his cheap father finally made up his mind, and preparations are still in his mind?

In fact, removing the dark side of King Jin’s character, on the surface, King Jin is indeed more suitable than the Prince to inherit the Datong. In the last life, due to limited ability, Luo Huaiyuan didn’t really understand how Jin Wang got the big treasure. However, judging from the situation at the time, Emperor Xi suddenly died, and the prince’s succession was just now. The king was recalled to Beijing for the funeral, but King Yun was deliberately postponed by people, including King Jing.

When the two received the news of Emperor Xi’s death and were about to return to Beijing to go to the funeral, the winners and losers had already been decided on the Beijing side. The prince was charged with conspiracy to kill his father. He happened to be on the side of the king of Jin in the middle of Beijing, and he was given the edict of his position. Since then, he has become the next emperor of Daxi.

Of course, this is the truth presented to the world. No one knows the real truth, and probably only the Prince’s First Family and Jin Wang’s First Family can know.

Luo Huaiyuan found out a lot of secrets in Jingzhou, but he caught them as if playing a game with King Jing.

As Luo Huaiyuan’s confidant of the guard and commander, Li Wei expressed deep sympathy for King Jing.

Who on earth is this provoke? It provokes such a limitless one!

Li Wei spent a long time with Luo Huaiyuan, and he naturally understood the nature of this master. It was obviously a very serious thing, but it was always full of irregularities when asked him to do it. And you can’t accuse him of doing something wrong, just like this time, Luo Huaiyuan said very righteously that he did it just to test the other party’s xinxing.

Well, King Jing was always a little transparent, but when he was in the palace, he was still transparent when he went to the fief. Like King Yun, he was extremely unwilling to see Emperor Xi. Since the feudal clan, Jingzhong has never given any rewards, let alone being recalled to Beijing. He is also low-key and reticent. From the surface information, he is a very dull person who is not good at speech, but he is very hardworking.

Really worked very hard. Li Wei felt that if his master had worked so hard, he probably didn’t want to cooperate with others at this time, but went directly up to the crown prince and king of Jin.

It’s a pity, who told him to put on a master without ambition?

Such a lackluster person without any hobbies or interests is really hard to figure out his character. Is it just this way to test the other’s xinxing? Li Wei expressed doubts.

…

Luo Huaiyuan had a lot of fun here, and the people in Jingzhou were going crazy by him.

Without him, it’s all because someone who doesn’t talk about it seems to be against them recently.

When King Jing returned from rebirth, he made a determination not to repeat the same mistakes again.

He pondered for a long time, reviewed himself, and found that he was no better than others. Just like in his previous life, what he faced was the indifference of Beijing, the barren fief, and the distressed economic situation. The House of Internal Affairs, who saw people serving food, always defaulted on his salary, which caused his dignified prince to pass. Life is not as good as a small official.

Fortunately, with the experience of the previous life, these King Kings can be calm, the hardest time has passed, everyone has died once, and what can’t be passed.

It’s as if Luo Huaiyuan and King Jing took over and teased him. You are really a hardworking bee. Luo Jing didn’t understand that this sentence actually contained teasing, but from all his experiences, he was indeed hardworking. There is no shortcut, so just do it step by step, and take your time, you can always accumulate less and become more, and the accumulation of sand becomes a tower.

The fief was barren, so he thought broadly to discover all kinds of products suitable for local cultivation. With a lack of money, he expanded his thinking and ordered his men to engage in business and attract money.

Luo Jing, who suffered from his own dumb illness due to his childhood, was actually an outsider who did not touch any dust. He is a whiteboard for many things, including managing fiefdoms, dealing with people, and dealing with subordinates. He is not as witty and clever as Luo Huaiyuan and has many crooked ideas. He can only enrich himself a little bit by painting various colors on his own whiteboard.

Abandon all distracting thoughts and do everything for the same purpose——

Become stronger.

Constantly getting stronger.

Strong enough to no longer repeat the mistakes of the previous life.

Such a person is actually quite terrifying, because he has ordinary people’s lack of perseverance and determination, and is sufficiently focused and dedicated. He has the spirit of a fool, knowing that he can’t do it, even if he can’t see hope, he just keeps his head down and does it a little bit. Until one day, the mountains were overturned.

The prince’s advantage is that the fief belongs to his own. Although there are all kinds of restrictions, he can always go around and secretly do what he wants to do.

Everything that moves that kind of mind is nothing more than two things, money and manpower. Money is easy to explain, that is, it is enough to support the foundation of your own stall. Manpower can be interpreted as personal connections or military strength.

Why would the prince be so afraid of the Jin Wang family? It’s nothing more than because Jinzhou and Qizhou have strong soldiers. Although on the surface the military power of the two places belongs to the court, it is not necessary to mention whether the guarding commander who controls the military power has been surrendered. Such a large boundary hides a few tens of thousands of private soldiers. , It does not seem to be difficult.

This is a consensus, and all the feudal lords who have moved their minds are doing this, including King Jing.

There are several uninhabited places in Jingzhou, where King Jing’s private soldiers are hidden. It’s a pity that these places have been harassed frequently recently, and their behavior is extremely bad, which is simply outrageous.

The other party didn’t do anything else, just sent a few crappy spies, suspiciously appearing in the surrounding area frequently. Since it is the place where private soldiers are trained, they are naturally not known to outsiders, and they have not come to catch one by one.

These spies are clumsy, they should have no professional skills, and they lack the qualities that a spy should have.

What qualities should a spy possess?

That is, you can’t be caught, and even if you are caught, you can’t let people ask anything from your own mouth. Many people just stop themselves as soon as they are caught in order to keep their secrets.

But these spies were extremely poor in character, and extremely greedy for life and fear of death. Almost all of them were confessed before they were sentenced, and they gave their masters a clean offering.

Their master pointed directly at one person–

King of Clouds.

Could it be someone framed it?

The answer is too easy, and it is always suspicious.

Because it was related to King Yun, the people below didn’t dare to call the shots privately, and they all reported it.

The news was delivered to King Jing, who was silent for a long time.

“Look again.” This was King Jing’s reply.

Two very patient people started playing like this. One enthusiastic one sent a crappy spy here to test the other party’s bottom line. One was motionless, with no response on the surface, but in fact, he had ordered his subordinates to begin to calm down and slowly shift.

This kind of game played too much and it was meaningless, and soon Yunzhou gave a signal and made an appointment to meet.

What will you do when you meet?

In fact, the message given by King Yun is very obvious. First, I know what you have done, and I have understood your details. Second, I am not malicious.

That being the case, the meeting must be to discuss related matters.

Although King Jing was calm, his vital points had already been taken care of, so King Yun asked to meet, but he couldn’t refuse, and he wanted to figure out what the other party meant.

It is imperative to meet, but where do you meet?

You should know that one is in Jingzhou and the other is in Yunzhou. Although they live next to each other, they belong to different territories after all. The rules that the princes are not allowed to leave the fief and whether the princes are not allowed to see privately, although they are all obeyed on the surface, only their own knows whether they are private.

But the two have never had a relationship before, so who can trust whom?

As the passive party, the confidant and staff around King Jing advised him not to take risks easily, because King Yun’s intention is unknown, and who knows if he is malicious.

On the other hand, Yan Yan also strongly asked Luo Huaiyuan not to go to Jingzhou, who knows if it is a wolf’s nest over there!

People’s hearts are separated by the belly, if the other party deliberately retaliates, what awaits their family will be forever. Luo Huaiyuan comforted her and said that the fifth person would not. Yan Yan asked why he would not, but Luo Huaiyuan could not answer. It can’t be said that when you are three years old you look at your older seven years old. The fifth one was a little sheep in his previous life. Although he evolved from a little sheep in this life, he can’t go anywhere. In particular, he was asking for others, but the posture that he should pose needs to be displayed.

You must know that cooperation is only the beginning, and there are a series of things behind. If the fifth person finally got the position, how to get along is also a learning. Since you have to work hard, it is better to do it from the beginning. Why should you be so petty? Disgusted in people’s hearts.

It’s just that when a woman starts to hack into a horn, many truths don’t make sense. Especially as Yan Mo left the capital for Fuzhou, Yan Yan’s nerves became even more tense. This kind of subconscious worry has accumulated little by little, and even if she can’t see the clue, she can realize the seriousness of it.

No way, Luo Huaiyuan could only act privately.

After discussing with them, they chose a place in Jingzhou, but close to the border of Yunzhou.

The meeting went extremely smoothly.

Luo Huaiyuan was an extremely bachelor, and as soon as he came up he showed his attitude of seeking cooperation, and King Jing also let go of his doubts.

In fact, it is conceivable that the two people are in the same situation, struggling to survive since childhood, and most of them understand each other’s ideas, but they are just trying to find a way to survive.

After the meeting, they hurriedly said goodbye, each returning to the place where they should go.

Since Luo Huaiyuan had crossed the border, it was natural to be farther away, so it took two or three days to go back quickly. He had arranged it before he left the house, and he didn’t know if he could hide Yan Yan. Luo Huaiyuan didn’t deliberately deceived Yan Yan, but it didn’t make sense and he had to do it, so he had to cut first and then play.

Sure enough, it was a low pressure when he went back. Fortunately, Luo Huaiyuan still had a way to deal with Yan Yan, and there was no conflict between the couple. Yan Yan was also worried. Seeing her husband came back safely, there was nothing else but to vent the panic in her heart.

The intention of cooperation has been reached, and how to proceed is also a matter of discretion.

To change Luo Huaiyuan’s temperament, it was natural to throw a handful of useful things in his hand to King Jing, and he was left alone. But sometimes, you can only think about this kind of thought, but you have to be cautious when doing it.

After several exchanges, the two sides also revealed some insights to each other.

Luo Huaiyuan slowly shared the information network in Qizhou, Jinzhou, with King Jing, which was exactly what King Jing needed. In return, King Jing also told Luo Huaiyuan the biggest secret in his hand——

Xi Di didn’t have much time.

Luo Huaiyuan was shocked to learn the news, because according to the trajectory of his previous life, the death of Emperor Xi was four years later. But that said, it’s also right why King Jin would return to Beijing so frequently. In the last life, when Emperor Xi was about to fail, King Jin returned to Beijing very frequently, and stayed in the capital for various reasons.

King Jing gave a very vague concept of how much time is left for Emperor Xi, it was about two years.

As for why King Jing knew this, he himself didn’t mention it, nor did Luo Huaiyuan ask. Everyone has their own cards, and so does he.

However, because of this incident, Luo Huaiyuan had more confidence in King Jing, and some of the dark lines he laid in the middle of Beijing were successively handed over to the opponent.

In fact, the body of Emperor Xi had long since failed, and the fainting was just the beginning.

In everyone’s memory, there was a long time when Emperor Xi was obsessed with alchemy. It just seems that everyone has forgotten that alchemy was actually more popular at the time of the first emperor.

Probably out of to please the present day, or out of his own desire to become immortal, the first emperor’s alchemy practice was popular in the capital at that time, and for a while, the Taoist limelight overwhelmed the Buddhist school.

The dragon body was always bad when the first emperor was, and the emperor always took his life very seriously. Since ancient times, there have been many emperors seeking longevity, and emperors who are intoxicated in the way of alchemy are even more numerous. Because of the unhealthy dragon body, the first emperor seemed to be particularly obsessed with these. There were many alchemists in the palace who were specially responsible for alchemy.

At that time, Emperor Xi was still the prince, because the Queen Mother preferred her two younger brothers and feared that her status would be unstable. At that time, Emperor Xi did a lot of work on the Emperor. For example, if I took the time to listen to the Taoist alchemy with the first emperor, naturally, he was also rewarded with the elixir, and the young emperor Xi was rewarded and taken.

It can be said that the first emperor has always loved the queen dowager, and the reason why the emperor Xi has been able to keep the crown prince is only because of the preference of the first emperor. Everyone has a preference, and the elder Xi is dedicated to his favor. Among the three sons in the heart of the first emperor, this eldest son is quite popular with him.

After pressing not to mention, the first emperor died, and the Xi emperor got the big treasure after a lot of setbacks.

It stands to reason that he should get rid of the alchemist and eliminate the unhealthy wind in the palace. He does not know what kind of mentality he is. It may also be that the spirit pill does have magical effects and there is no harm. The Emperor Xi has been taking the pill all the time. , It’s just that there is no such big fanfare as the first emperor, but everyone in the palace knows that the emperor is so used to it.

At that time, Emperor Xi didn’t know that the pill was actually harmful.

At that time, he was in a difficult situation. There was instability in the court before, and the queen mother was repeatedly troubled. There were two same mothers and brothers who were restless. He had to do too many things. When a person has a lack of energy, taking a pill can keep him energetic.

After that, all obstacles were cleared, and it was found that the dragon’s body was abnormal, but it was too late, and a large amount of erysipelas had already accumulated in the body of Emperor Xi.

After ruining the pill and expelling the alchemist, Emperor Xi suddenly ceased to be obsessed with alchemy.

Of course, this is only a superficial situation. The emperor Xi secretly sought out famous doctors to restore his dragon body, but the harm has already been done. Because of the overdraft of the pill, the dragon body of Xi emperor has long become an empty shell. The reason why it has been maintained is that the imperial doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital carefully waited and nursed them.

That time, the fainted dynasty caused a long backlog of physical problems that broke out overnight. Although he was suppressed by the superb medical skills, the emperor Xi knew that he had died soon, and the imperial physician gave a few years of concluding remarks.

Emperor Xi did not react at the time, but afterwards killed many imperial physicians. Some imperial physicians who knew his physical condition were slaughtered. Only one reticent but superb doctor Zhou was left beside him.

Xi Di’s physical problems were thus obscured.

He thought that he could be in control of the universe, and how did he know that the few sons he had been driven by him all the time, none of them were simple. The secret fight between the thrones began as early as when his physical problems broke out. ?
