As soon as the silver-armored guards retreated, Yan Wei entered the palace with a secret letter.
Yan Xiu casually glanced at the letter in his hand and said, "Read it."
Yan Wei read the letter written by Sun Tianchan to him word for word. After reading it, he asked Yan Xiu:
"I wonder what your Majesty's plan is? Now that the whereabouts of the east patrol have been exposed, I think your Majesty should change the route and enter Langya."
"Change the route?" Yan Xiu turned the pen in his hand carelessly, "Why change the route?"
Sun Tianchan was worried that Yan Xiu would be angry with Zhu Yuancun after reading the letter, so he did not mention anything about Zhu Yuancun and Jiang Yuan in half of the letter.
He only explained that the eastern patrol route was most likely known to the remaining party of the old country in Qidi, fearing that they might plan an assassination, and advised Yan Xiu to consider it carefully.
Yan Wei was extremely anxious after reading the letter. Although Sun Tianchan did not tell the whole story, he had already concluded that there were many dangers waiting for Yan Xiu in Qi.
Yan Xiu took the letter, read it again, and put it on the tip of the flame to light it without thinking:
"Sun Tianchan just said that it is very possible, why are you so anxious? Or is it true that you are worried about me, but true that you are worried about Master Zhu?"
That's right, Zhu Ya will not be brought along on this eastward tour. After all, she is busy with matters at Taipei University.
But Zhu Ya strongly requested that she be brought along, saying that there might be many treasures worthy of her discovery in Qi, so Yan Xiu agreed.
Yan Wei and Li Woyun supervised the country on their behalf during this period.
Yan Wei smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Huang knows that, but I don't mean that. I'm really worried that if the Qi rebels find out that you are going to Xuzhou, there will be endless trouble. Since you want to go to Yanzhou We entered Langya with great momentum, why not go with the Yanzhou army instead? This way, we have more guarantees."
Yan Xiu: "Have you ever heard that the Taoist is as tall as the devil? The people who have assassinated me over the years have come up with all kinds of tricks. If I had not had the skills to defend myself, they would have almost killed me several times. What's more, there are female relatives this time. As you go along, you can’t be careless.”
"You are smart, and those who want to take my life are even smarter." Yan Xiu stood up and stretched his muscles. "If someone really planned this assassination plan carefully, Sun Tianchan's letter would have been intercepted and read by someone. Can you think of letting me If we change the route, they won’t be able to do it?”
Yan Wei was almost knocked out by Yan Xiu. He twirled his fingers and did some calculations before finally realizing: "That's it! Brother Huang, what is this called? Countermeasure? Counterreduction plan?"
Yan Xiu glanced at him.
Yan Wei continued: "The assassins over there were sure that you would follow the large army through Longshan Pass and set up an ambush in Yanzhou out of fear of changing the route. But what they didn't expect was that you would only follow the original plan and enter from Xuzhou. Langya. In this way, we can go to Yanzhou to catch these assassins off guard and completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Qi. Brother Huang is wise."
Yan Xiu laughed: "Have you had enough flattery? Get out of here."
Seeing through his thoughts at a glance, Yan Wei stopped pretending and said sternly: "The road is dangerous, so please allow me to accompany you."
Yan Xiu's refusal almost came out of his mouth: "If you are asked to supervise the country, then you can give birth to the supervising country. Mr. Zhu will ride in the same carriage as Zhaoyi. What are you worried about?"
Yan Wei said disappointedly: "But it is enough for Master Li to supervise the country. Master Li is not a sycophant..."
Yan Xiu was so angry that he brushed his sleeves: "That's nonsense! So what if Mr. Li is popular among the people? Is his surname Li or Yan? I can trust him and leave state affairs in his hands, but if there is no clan to take charge, Don’t you know how much verbal criticism and controversy Mr. Li will receive in the court, and how many thoughtful people will magnify his mistakes and murder him?"
This seventh brother is still too young and too impulsive. He doesn't even understand such a simple truth for the woman he likes.
Yan Wei rarely saw Yan Xiu get so angry with him, and wanted to make fun of him with a playful smile, so he muttered:
"I have only heard of the prince supervising the country. As your younger brother, has your Majesty ever considered how your brother will be scolded in the spine?"
What if during this period, someone spreads rumors that he is disloyal to Yan Xiu? What should we do if we say that he indulged in excessive drinking and neglected his job while in prison? What about driving a wedge between the trust and affection between the two brothers?
Yan Xiu: "...Prince? You should find one for me, and I will immediately ask you to go on a tour to the east together. You are so overwhelmed with the responsibility, and you feel that you are not qualified when encountering something. Have I taught you in vain all these years?"
If he and Zhu Sijia really have a son, if nothing else, he can boldly let him try to supervise the country when he is ten years old.
Seeing Yan Xiu's anger disappearing, Yan Wei hurriedly helped him sit down:
"What the emperor taught me is that I won't escape in the middle of the battle. At worst, I will go on the eastward tour next time. You can read the memorial here first, and I will go to Changle Palace to urge the emperor's wife to give birth to a young prince who will supervise the country as soon as possible. "
Yan Xiu hit him with a pen: "Don't bother your wife-in-law, she is feeling uncomfortable today."
Yan Wei chuckled: "The relationship between the emperor and the emperor is so good, I am really envious of it. I just don't know when my sweetheart will respond."
Yan Xiu thought of what Zhu Ya had said to him, and although he couldn't bear it, he still chose to tell Yan Wei:
"Tao Zhi, if you are just trying to get something new with Mr. Zhu, you should give up this idea as soon as possible."
Yan Wei: "Why?"
Yan Xiu: "I also asked you about her intentions."
Yan Wei: "She refused? It doesn't matter, brother Huang. A good girl is afraid of pestering a man. She refused more than once. I have plenty of time to wait for her."
Yan Xiu: "She said that she has decided not to marry in this life, and is willing to serve the Qin Dynasty for the rest of her life and die without regrets."
Yan Wei was stunned and said: "W-Why is this? She hates me so much that she is willing to take this oath and not have anything to do with me? I once thought about killing her, but at that time I wasn't-"
"Tao Zhi!" Yan Xiu interrupted him, "Everyone has his own ambitions. From the beginning, you and I understood that she is absolutely different from ordinary women, right? You are twenty-two years old this year. You should start a family and start a business early to strengthen the bloodline of the Great Qin clan. "
Yan Wei: "I don't want to! If she never marries, then I will never marry! Let's see who loses first."
Yan Xiu: "Don't be ridiculous. As a prince, don't you know whether your children's personal relationship is more important than the Great Qin State?"
Yan Wei took courage and choked back: "As His Majesty of the Qin Dynasty, don't you only drink from Zhaoyi? The royal family cannot wither. As a king, you should set an example, so why are you forcing me!"
Yan Xiu lowered his eyes: "She and I may really have no chance of having children."
Thinking of Zhu Sijia's appearance every time she had her menstrual period, Yan Xiu felt distressed, but gradually relieved.
Although there was nothing wrong with his and Zhu Sijia's health, they really couldn't force their heirs.
Therefore, he was prepared to have no children in his life, and his successors could pass to him and Zhu Sijia from their own heirs.
…
I hope Scarlett's menstruation is over and February is here.
The eastward tour is approaching, and almost everyone participating in the eastward tour is already preparing to pack.
Zhu Sijia took the time to leave the palace openly, and it was to Zhu Yuancun's Wuxinghou Mansion.
It had been many days since her mother had reconciled with King Yan and moved into the Wuxing Hou Mansion with her sister, but she had not had a chance to take a look.
