Chapter 821 Zen Position

The lotus flowers all over the lake are in full bloom, like open green umbrellas standing on the blue waves, like layers of green waves, like pieces of emerald jade. And a young girl in a long green dress was standing by the lake playing the flute.

Yan Wushuang was dissatisfied after seeing the painting. He frowned and said, "Why did you draw the profile, but not the front?" He wanted a portrait of Han Yuxi, not a beautiful painting.

Yuchen said: "Isn't this kind of artistic conception better?" She did it on purpose, and deliberately didn't draw Yuxi's front face. She has been tricked too many times and now Yuchen has a long-term mind.

Yan Wushuang didn't think much this time, just looked at the girl in the portrait and said, "Is this Han Yuxi?" The appearance of the girl in the painting can only be regarded as upper-class, and there is nothing special about it.

Yuchen hummed and said: "In the mansion, Yuxi doesn't show much in terms of talent or temperament, and she doesn't like socializing." It's not that Yuxi doesn't like socializing, but because those rumors make everyone reject her, isolate her. Therefore, she would rather just sit in the study and read a book than bore herself.

Yan Wushuang also knew about these things: "Yunqing has surrendered power, and Han Yuxi has become the real ruler."

Yuchen looked up at Yan Wushuang and said, "What does the prince mean by this?" What is a real ruler.

Yan Wushuang smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "It means that even Yunqing has to listen to Han Yuxi now. Han Yuxi has become the uncrowned emperor of the Northwest."

Yuchen said with difficulty: "The uncrowned emperor?"

"Yes, the uncrowned emperor." Yan Wushuang said, "Han Yuxi actually managed to get Yunqing to hand over all the political power and military power. I'm really curious how she did it." It's because he doesn't like government affairs, but now even the military power is handed over to Han Yuxi, he really can't figure it out.

If the military regime grabs it, it is not the uncrowned emperor. Yuchen lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "How can the concubine know something that even the prince can't figure out?"

Yan Wushuang was just talking casually, how could she really want to get an answer from Yuchen. How could Han Yuchen know what he didn't even know!

When Nanny Gui entered the room, she saw Yuchen sitting on a chair in a daze: "Ma'am, what's the matter?" Every time Han Yuxi was involved, her master was in a bad mood.

Yuchen raised his head, looked at Nanny Gui and said: "Just now, the prince said that Yunqing handed over the power and the army to Yuxi. Yuxi now controls more than half of the country."

If so, apart from the lack of the title of emperor, wouldn't it be no different from the emperor. Nanny Gui opened her mouth wide in shock: "How is this possible?"

Yuchen said in a low voice: "I also think it's impossible. But there should be nothing wrong with what the prince himself said. Yuxi, she, she..." Yuchen couldn't continue speaking.

Nanny Gui quickly regained her composure: "Your Majesty, even if it is true, it has nothing to do with us." No matter how good Han Yuxi is, he is also their enemy.

Yuchen said: "I was just thinking, if grandma knew Yuxi's current achievements, would she regret it?" Her grandmother's greatest wish in this life was to revitalize the Han family. If she knew that her granddaughter whom she had always despised had become an empress-like existence one day, would she regret being indifferent and alienated to Yu Xi at the beginning.

Nanny Gui knew that Yuchen was thinking nonsense again, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, Mama Cai has something to report, and she has been waiting outside for a long time," Mama Cai is a lady in charge of the palace. There is something to do, and no time to think about it.

Yuchen immediately calmed down, puffed up her chest and said, "Let her in!"

Meng Nian held the portrait and looked at it for a long time. It looked good, but it didn't make people fascinated: "It looks no different from those ladies in the capital."

Yan Wushuang felt that Meng Nian was stupid: "If she were a girl, she would be as powerful as she is now.

Wouldn't that be a monster? "Han Yuxi's tactics and strategies are not inferior to him at all, but they are also accumulated after more than ten years, not innate.

Meng Nian put the painting back on the table and said, "I'm just a little pity. If Han Yuxi had one-tenth of his current ability when he was in the capital, we wouldn't miss it." Yan Wushuang was installed in the capital more than ten years ago. There are quite a few people, but they haven't paid attention to noble girls like Yuxi.

Yan Wushuang glanced at Meng Nian, and said, "There is Han Yuchen in the Han family who is both talented and beautiful, so naturally there are no other girls." Except for Han Yuchen, the other girls in the Duke's mansion are not well-known because they are all under the background. It got dark.

Just like the current Ah Chi, because he is so talented that he can learn everything at once and can draw inferences from one example, so the other brothers are set off like elm lumps.

Of course, Brother Hao is better than Ah Chi. However, because Yuxi realized this problem and intentionally downplayed the gap, and strictly ordered the people in the palace not to compare Brother Hao with the triplets, the triplets were not affected.

Meng Nian sighed and changed the subject: "My lord, General Qiu said that Lu Gang wanted to go back to Beijing, and he has already agreed." Although Lu Gang recovered his life, his whole body was injured and he even broke a leg. It wasn't for Qiu Dashan looking after him, he would have died long ago. Now that he has recovered from his injury, he wants to come back. It is impossible for Lu Gang to return to the barracks in his current state, so he proposed to return to Beijing Qiu Dashan and agreed.

Yan Wushuang said: "Since I agreed, I can't break my promise, let him come back if he wants to!" Yan Wushuang is still very tolerant of Qiu Dashan's confidantes.

Meng Nian said: "Do you want to return the Lu family's house to them?" The Lu family's house is still sealed.

Yan Wushuang said: "Lu Lin is in the West Sea now, and he's doing quite well." He would rather leave the house in disuse than return it to the Lu family. Although Lu Gang almost lost his life in Liaodong, the merits and demerits outweighed each other.

When Meng Nian heard this, he didn't say any more.

The second day is the court meeting. Ever since Yan Wushuang came to power, the court meeting has only been held for two days, the first day of the new year and the fifteenth day. However, Zhou Yan just sat on it for the past two days, and everything was decided by Yan Wushuang.

After the ministers of civil and military affairs arrived, the normal procedure would start to report after everyone gave Zhou Yan a big gift. Today, however, is not destined to be an ordinary day.

Yuchen was dealing with internal affairs when she saw Nanny Gui rushing in.

After the lady in charge went out, Nanny Gui said, "Your Majesty, the emperor said at the court meeting today that he wants to give the throne to the prince." It was also Yuchen who was in charge of the general affairs, so the news was better than before, otherwise they would not have gotten it so quickly. information.

Yuchen said with a pale face: "What did you say? You said that Yan'er wants to give the throne to the prince?" Seeing Nanny Gui nodding, Yuchen said: "What is he going to do?"

Nanny Gui didn't know what Zhou Yan was going to do either.

Yuchen got up and said, "I want to enter the palace." She was going to ask Zhou Yan which song she could sing.

Nanny Gui hurriedly held Yuchen back and said, "Your Majesty, you have nothing to do with this matter." Yuchen's identity is destined to be wrong no matter which side he is on. Keeping silent is her best choice.

Seeing Yuchen throwing her hand away, Nanny Gui said: "Madam, you can't control this matter if you want to. Madam, you are not only the emperor's child, you also have the eldest son and the princess, and you have to do it for them too." Consider it." For Zhou Yan Zen position, Nanny Gui felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. When Yan Wang became the emperor, the eldest son became the prince, and the eldest princess became the eldest princess. Even if my master can't become a queen, a noble concubine will definitely not be able to escape.

When Yuchen heard this, he suddenly felt that all the strength in his body was exhausted.

Nanny Gui thought for a while and said, "Madam, to tell you the truth, I actually think it's a good thing for the emperor to sit on the throne. Without real power, it would be better not to be the emperor." A puppet emperor is not as comfortable as an old woman like her!

Yuchen was silent.

Nanny Gui listed the various benefits of Zhou Yan's Zen position: "Your majesty, if the emperor is willing to back down, the prince will definitely treat him kindly." It was almost impossible to say that Yan Wushuang would not kill Zhou Yan.

Yuchen raised his head, looked at Nanny Gui who was chattering, and said, "Go out and let me be quiet." When Nanny Gui walked to the door, Yuchen said, "If the prince comes back, please tell me." Things, she doesn't care and who else cares.

Yan Wushuang was caught off guard by Zhou Yan, but he calmed down quickly. In front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, he said that Zhou Yan was ill and confused, and did not accept Zhou Yan's edict for the Zen position. But this incident caused an uproar in the court. Most people support Yan Wushuang as emperor. After all, they had already taken refuge in Yan Wushuang, so it was natural for Yan Wushuang to treat them better. Only a very small number of royalists opposed it.

It was not until noon that Yan Wushuang returned to the palace.

Seeing Yan Wushuang, Meng Nian asked, "My lord, who provoked Zhou Yan?" It is impossible for Zhou Yan to think about the Zen position for no reason. Before that, they didn't get any news! This is very unusual.

Yan Wushuang looked very cold: "It's from the Han family. I didn't expect their hands to be so long, but our people didn't notice it." So many people were placed around Zhou Yan, but none of them noticed the abnormality. A group of idiots.

Meng Nian couldn't figure it out, and said, "Han Yuxi is the mastermind behind the scenes? Why did she do this? It doesn't do her any good for Zhou Yan to give the prince the throne?"

Yan Wushuang said: "No matter what Han Yuxi's idea is, I will really be the emperor.

Meng Nian was taken aback, but he knew that Yan Wushuang never had the idea of ​​becoming emperor: "My lord, it is not a trivial matter to become emperor, we have to think about it carefully." If Yan Wushuang becomes emperor, those royalists will definitely jump out of. My lord is not a good-natured person, and the capital will be flooded with blood again, which is not what Meng Nian wants to see.

Thinking of this, Meng Nian suddenly came to his senses: "Your Majesty, Han Yuxi encouraged Zhou Yan to take the Zen position, so she just hoped that we would get out of the house, so that she would benefit from it."

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Now Yunnan and Guangxi are still at war, and they don't have the military and financial resources to attack the capital."

Meng Nian hesitated and said, "My lord, do you really want to be the emperor?" The momentum in the northwest was getting stronger and stronger, and they were not sure how to keep the capital. Proclaiming emperor at this time is not a wise move.

Yan Wushuang said: "Well, after becoming the emperor, I can leave a mark in the history books." As for whether the things left in the history books are good or bad, he doesn't care.

Before Meng Nian could speak, he heard Ah Qian's voice outside: "My lord, the side concubine is asking to see you."

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Han Yuchen has done his best for this son." After speaking, he asked Ah Qian to let him in.

Hearing Meng Nian said that he was going out, Yan Wushuang said, "It's okay to listen to it." Anyway, it was Zhou Yan's business.

Yuchen entered the room, and after saluting, he asked, "My lord, I heard that the emperor wants to give the zen seat to my lord. I don't know if it's true or not?" Without Yan Wushuang's confirmation, Yuchen still held a trace of luck in his heart. .

Meng Nian said from the side: "Miss Concubine Side, this is true." I have to say that God loves Concubine Han very much, and a thirty-year-old woman is still so beautiful.

Yuchen didn't shrink back this time, but asked directly: "I don't know what the prince is planning?"

Yan Wushuang was able to speak his mind to Meng Nian because Meng Nian was his confidant: "Then do you think I should take this position as the emperor?"

Yuchen knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, no matter what you decide, I just ask you to spare Zhou Yan's life." All she can do is try her best to save her son's life.

Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill him." Even if he becomes the emperor, he won't kill Zhou Yan. But after this incident, he will never relax his surveillance of Zhou Yan again.

Yuchen said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord."

Yan Wushuang showed sarcasm, and said: "You should also put more thought on Ah Chi and Ah Bao." Although he was honest with Ah Chi and had strict requirements, Ah Chi was his favorite among all his sons. red.

Yuchen lowered her head and said, "I will take good care of Ah Chi and Ah Bao." The palms and backs of her hands were all fleshy, and she couldn't bear to suffer any of them.

Back in the Ruyi Courtyard, Nanny Gui asked in a low voice, "Madam, what does the lord say?" Although she hoped that Yan Wushuang would become emperor, she knew in her heart that even if Yan Wushuang had such a heart, she would not reveal it to her master.

Yuchen sat on the chair and said: "The prince said he would not kill Yan'er, and he didn't say anything else. However, as long as Yan'er is not in danger." She didn't dare to ask for more, for fear of backfire .

This was expected by Nanny Gui.

Yuchen said to himself: "It would be great if I had Yuxi's ability. Not only can I protect myself, but I can also protect my children." Yuxi suppressed Yunqing and became the real master of the Northwest, not only her status No one can shake it anymore, even children don't need to be wronged.

Nanny Gui comforted: "Mother, don't think about it anymore. There are thousands of women in this world, but there is only one Han Yuxi." Yun Qing was willing to give up the power, and this alone shows that Han Yuxi's methods are powerful .

Yuchen smiled wryly, if Yuxi wasn't a girl from the Han family, it wouldn't matter to her, and she wouldn't think so much. But the problem is that Yuxi grew up with her, and she was not as good as herself in everything since she was a child. Now the two of them are in the same place, how can we make her not think too much.

Nanny Gui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it's useless to think too much." No matter how much you think about it, you will only add trouble to yourself. (to be continued)
