Chapter 20
In the afternoon of the second day, Zhao Ying called Zhao Nan to play chess and chat, Zhao Ying suddenly remembered something, and said: "At this time in the past, there were horses from Hainan eight hundred miles to send Yangmei to Wuchang in an urgent manner, why not this year? "
Zhao Nan laughed and said, "Your Lord Yan likes to eat red bayberry, which is specially ordered by the late emperor every year. This year when the late emperor passed away, those people probably forgot about it."
Zhao Ying said: "Let them be sent to Beijing. After I ascend the throne, he won't be able to eat the red bayberry."
Zhao Nan answered yes, and said again: "Brother Huang, you don't seem to be very happy. It's not because of the Yangmei matter. I dare to guess, is Brother Huang angry because Luo Xianlin scolded Lord Yan at the Ministry of War yesterday?"
Zhao Ying sighed, and said: "In the past, even if someone talked about his rapid promotion behind his back, no one dared to say anything in front of him. Now Xie Zihu suppresses him everywhere, Luo Xianlin is just a servant of the military department, how dare I insulted him face to face. I wanted to punish Luo Xianlin, but he refused."
Zhao Nan said: "Lord Yan is very arrogant in his bones, if Brother Huang meddles in the affairs between him and his colleagues, he will definitely not want to."
Zhao Ying said: "Exactly. I said that I want to restore his position as Grand Master and let him enter the cabinet, but he is also unwilling, saying that he is afraid that Xie Zihu will have resentment in his heart, so he will not work hard. If he has a higher official position, Presumably those people would not dare to discuss it.”
Zhao Nan said with a smile: "Brother Huang is concerned about chaos. From the perspective of my ministers, everyone in the court was very respectful to Master Yan before, but now it is not as good as before. In fact, it has something to do with the change of his identity. Those fake Taoists, in their hearts They all have their own set of standards for people. At that time, Master Yan was the emperor's teacher, and everyone thought it was right to respect him. Now that he is the emperor's brother... they feel that if they get too close to him, it is flattery. Another point is that the first emperor always kept his husband in his mouth and heart. Everyone in the court knew how much the emperor valued this teacher. Now, most of the officials don't think Yan Luan is so important to the emperor's brother .Because most of the people in the court don't know much about the entanglement between the emperor's brother and Lord Yan for more than ten years. I'm afraid many people will really think that Lord Yan is desperate to defect to you. After all, how many men are willing to serve others with sex, especially Lord Yan was once a very human minister."
Zhao Ying said: "We must find a way to make the officials dare not look down on him. There is no reason why I can't give him what the late emperor can give him. Otherwise, what's the point of me being the emperor."
Zhao Nan smiled and said: "Brother Huang, I have told you many times that your Lord Yan can handle this matter completely by himself. In my opinion, the current situation is actually much better for him than before. At that time, it was true that he was in power, but his heart was torn on both sides."
Zhao Ying said with a smile: "Don't flatter me, when did he tear it up for me?"
A few days later, Yan Luan and Chen Wenying had completed the matter on Xie Zihu's brochure, Yan Luan said to Chen Wenying: "Yanhua, I want to entertain our old friends in my residence in three days, please post the post for me .”
Chen Wenying said with a smile: "It's easy to post, but I'm afraid some people won't come."
Yan Luan said: "Tell everyone that I will give everyone an account of what happened in the past ten years."
Chen Wenying nodded.
On the day of the banquet, Yan Luan had already greeted Zhao Ying in advance, and then returned to the mansion in the evening.In the past few days, he had dinner with Zhao Ying, and rested in Zhao Ying's bedroom for a while before returning to the mansion.This is the first time I came back at dawn, but I found that there were many changes in the mansion.The yard is more tidy, the trees and flowers inside are more prosperous, the lake water is clearer, and the servants are more disciplined, and the whole Yan Mansion shows a thriving atmosphere.Yan Luan thought to herself mockingly, it really is different to have a woman in the family, no wonder people in the world marry a wife no matter they are rich or poor.
At Xu time, the guests arrived one after another, and there were more than [-] people in total.When all the dishes were served in the kitchen, Yan Luan picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "The people who came today are all my best friends. Yan Luan has failed everyone many times, and you are still willing to come to the banquet today. I am really grateful. I will first Three cups of self-punishment, everyone can do whatever they want."
As soon as Yan Luan had a drink, Chen Wenying stopped her and said, "Ling'an, you can't drink, just have a drink to express your feelings."
Yan Luan smiled and said: "It's okay, I haven't drunk alcohol for several years, it doesn't matter if I drink it once in a while." After all, I drank the three glasses of wine.Everyone present also drank the wine in their cups.
Yan Luan said: "I have failed too many people in my life, and I am most sorry for everyone here today. Today, I will give you an explanation, and let everyone know that Yan Luan is really an ungrateful and capricious person. villain."
Kou Yiqing said: "Okay, Ling'an, isn't your slanderous words about Xie Zihu advancing on the emperor every day not enough, you have admitted these words yourself."
Yan Luan smiled and said: "Xie Zihu's words are never true. Didn't the emperor say that his evaluation is pertinent? Well, let me start from the beginning. Everyone knows that I am from Wuchang Prefecture, and the emperor's feudal state is also in Wuchang. I I was poor since I was a child, and I was almost destitute before I went to Beijing to catch the exam. It was the emperor, who was still the son of Prince An at that time, and the emperor gave me the travel expenses to Beijing, so I was able to participate in the imperial examination. In the 26th year of Shunkang, eunuch The party controls the government. After 13 of us signed the letter, I already had a premonition that the rain was coming, so I wrote a letter to the emperor. After the emperor received the letter, he led his troops to serve the king, wiped out the eunuchs, and rescued me from the imperial prison Among the thirteen people, I was the only one who survived, and it was all because the emperor asked the medical officers in the palace to treat me carefully. I was poisoned by the eunuchs, and the emperor tried to find out the solution to the poison, and he cured me of the poison. The current house was also given to me by the emperor. After that, my health went up and down, and every time my old disease relapsed, it was the medical officer in the palace who took care of me."
Everyone here was shocked when they heard this, Kou Yiqing said: "It turns out that the emperor treats you so...long and mighty, then why did you recruit us people to plot against the emperor?"
Yan Luan said: "When Emperor Taizong was dying, he entrusted the late emperor to me. I just came out of the prison, and my body completely collapsed. I don't know where my wife and children are, including the dead capital. I thought about this remaining life. But the late emperor didn't At the age of seven, he completely trusted me and relied on me, and I couldn't let him go. I said in my heart that the only reason I lived was to hand over this land to the late emperor one day. I knew that the emperor To me... is a little appreciative, so I dealt with the emperor while waiting for the late emperor to grow up. After ten years in Xintai, I finally let me wait for an opportunity, and everyone knows what happened after that."
