    My love is more real than the country (one hundred and eighty)

    “Congratulations to Young Master Yan for your influence becoming more and more widespread. Young Master Yan already knew about it when I arrived.”

    Dressed in purple, holding a crown fan in hand, under the narrow eyebrows are beautiful red phoenix eyes, which seem to be twinkling with stars, and there is a gentle smile on the corners of the lips. He seems to always have a good temper, like a handsome and gentle gentleman.

    Two people were following behind him, an old man in his forties, with gray hair, dense wrinkles on his face, and eyes like lightning, with a medium build, wearing a gray cloth shirt, and a calm expression.The other man had dark eyebrows and a burly figure. The blood baptism left a mark on his young face. He looked to be in his thirties, but there was an unruly and violent look between his eyebrows.

    These two people are Mu Su’s most trusted adviser Wen Qing and the secret guard leader Wu Ge.

    “The prince is serious.” Yan Sui glanced at the three of them and smiled softly.

    Yan Sui smiled, but Mu Su was stunned. After noticing his gaffe, Mu Su coughed to cover it up.

    Mu Su calmly found a chair closest to Yan Sui and sat down. He propped his chin on his hands and stared at the high-ranking Yan Sui. “We haven’t seen each other for several years. Master Yan has become more and more beautiful. Legend has it that the Bei Yan clan in Tianheng Continent once had the most beautiful people in the world. I wonder who will win and who will lose between Master Yan and the legendary Bei Yan clan?”

    “The prince doesn’t show his filial piety by doing everything in neighboring Shu, but he travels thousands of miles to secretly visit Zhou. Is it possible that he is just trying to tease me?” Yan Sui said gently without taking his eyes off the book in his hand. There seemed to be a leisurely chatter between the two, but it made people feel sharp and indifferent under the gentleness.

    “The concubine in the family is always too ambitious, and my father was bewitched by the traitorous concubine. Every inch of land in the court was fought for, and I was tired of dealing with it. But the concubine in the family was in trouble again. The father who was seduced by the traitorous concubine unexpectedly wanted to cause more trouble. With Li Xuan’s arrow, I couldn’t prevent it. In the end, I had to take the risk and come here to ask Mr. Yan to help me.”

    “A helping hand?!” Yan Sui smiled half-heartedly, “I remember, we just helped the prince solve the plot against you by your concubine, and now you came to me again. I always like fairness in business, but with you, I have a good temper and have good intentions again and again, but this business always makes ends meet. I have to think carefully about whether you, prince, are worthy of my cooperation.”

    “Su is well aware of the lofty ideals of the young master. The young master helped me win the Kingdom of Shu, just because he knows that my ambition, talent, and heart are not enough to be the enemy of the young master. In other words, the young master can see very clearly that Su’s obsession with becoming the emperor of the neighboring kingdom of Shu is not deep enough! I want this throne just for the sake of it.Revenge, let those people regret it.As for the true ambition of the young master, although Su is not interested in politics, he really likes to study people’s hearts.Although he is not as thorough as the young master, he still understands a little.This time he came to the showdown with the young master, but he came with good intentions, so why should the young master be so far away.”

    Mu Su’s words made Yan Sui finally look at him, as if he was amazed that he was such a self-aware and understanding person.

    Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Yan Sui smiled. The most important thing for She Muyu to choose Musu was that he could see that Musu loved power but was not obsessed with it. Rather than power, he felt more like a forbearing evil wolf in his heart, but he was a beast that wanted to show its sharp claws to high-ranking officials and those in the harem.

    He is a strange person but can also use support. He is ambitious but wants revenge more than power. He is wise but not arrogant.

    Although there were a few times in the middle, he did a few stupid things because of the confusion of the harem and the throne, and he was a target for others in vain. Fortunately, he is not too stupid. He will never hesitate when making a decision, even if he loses 800 yuan, he will never be indecisive at a critical moment!Otherwise, he would have long been unworthy of his cooperation.

    “Tell me, how do you want to cooperate with me, and what else do you want to cooperate with me?” Yan Sui put down the bamboo slips, and Lin Qiao immediately turned around and entered the screen behind the tent. When he came out again, he held an exquisite white magnolia tea cup in his hand and handed it to Yan Sui.

    Wu Ge frowned when he saw the tea cup in Yan Sui’s hand, and seemed dissatisfied, but Mu Su didn’t seem to care about Lin Qiao’s neglect, and even felt that Lin Qiao only served tea for Yan Sui as a matter of course.

    Yan Sui took it, held the tea lid in his right hand and lightly pressed the tea cup.

    The crisp sound was particularly eye-catching in the quiet tent. Musu gently clasped the crown fan in his right hand on the palm of his left hand, “Master Yan, you know that my bastard will come to Zhou with his envoys in seven days.”

    “Isn’t the rebirth incident mentioned by the prince alluding to this matter? Now, the prince might as well say his intention directly.”

    Musu smiled slightly and was not angry, “He came here to express gratitude for the marriage, but in fact he was just provoking the peace that had long existed in name only between Zhou and Xuanyang. And what I need Mr. Yan to help me is to expose his conspiracy and not let him get what he wants! He wants to be a yellow bird, but I just let him be that mantis that doesn’t know whether to live or die!”

    “Oh~” Yan Sui looked at Mu Su and asked shamelessly with a half-smile, “Since Mu Yu came to our Zhou State for marriage, how could he provoke a dispute between our Zhou State and Xuanyang State? Although our Zhou State and Xuanyang State were not at odds with each other for a long time, but this timeThe Xuanyang Kingdom suffered a disaster, and the Zhou Kingdom came to help regardless of previous suspicions. No matter what, the Xuanyang Kingdom would not risk the world’s disapproval to attack the Zhou Kingdom. The leader of the Xuanyang Kingdom is not stupid, and I, the Queen of the Zhou Kingdom, are not stupid either, and the alliances between the nations of Tianheng Continent are not a show-off.”

    Musu shook his head and retorted, “The Queen is not stupid, and the covenant is true, but the not-stupid Lord Xuanyang has a weakness. I wonder if Young Master Yan knows about it?”

    Yan Sui was slightly startled when he heard this, his smiling eyes quickly sank, then he recovered and asked, “I would like to hear the details.”

    Mu Su didn’t seem to expect that Yan Sui would pretend to be stupid, but he was not surprised. “Master Yan, do you still remember why Xuanyang and Zhou were at odds? After all, Xuanyang and Zhou were also related by marriage at the beginning, and they were like brothers. ”

    “The person Mu Yu Guoshu married must be Li Huan.” Yan Sui said the crux of the matter.

    “Yes, she is Li Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, the daughter of Li Huan, the former imperial eunuch. I believe Mr. Yan is not unfamiliar with Li Huan!”

    Mu Su looked at Yan Sui’s expression, trying to see something, but Yan Sui was too profound and the expression on his face was too perfect, so he could not find any flaws. He was quite helpless and could only continue, “Li Huan’s identity was once very famous. Her mother was Li Huan, the eldest princess of Xuanyang Kingdom.Qin, Li Qin’s brother is the leader of the country, Li Shigang. Although the man Li Qin married is not from the royal family, he is also the only son of the prime minister who accompanied the first queen of the Zhou Dynasty to expand the territory.Li Qin and the prime minister’s only son Yuan Xiang met because of love, and it was said that Li Qin chose her husband and got married in the end.”

    “But happiness never lasts long. Li Qin died in childbirth, leaving behind an orphaned daughter and her husband. The state system of the Zhou Kingdom was different from that of other countries. Li Qin’s husband did not want to remarry, and because of the existence of the Xuanyang Kingdom, no one dared to marry. A generation of virtuous ministers lost their power and were later divided by the Shen family and the Ruan family. When Li Huan grew up, she actually understood the five elements of heaven and earth.She was very interested in Feng Shui, and because of her special status, she was favored by Empress Wu Sheng at a young age.Although the Yuan family declined, Li Huan stood up because of Li Huan!The Yang Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom were completely at odds.After all, it was rumored that the octogenarian Li Zhenggang personally sent thirteen secret messages asking for forgiveness in exchange for his life, but Empress Wu Sheng sternly refused.In the end, Li Zhenggang sent troops to the border and threatened the Queen Wu Sheng.If he dared to destroy Li Qin, the Xuanyang Kingdom would fight to the death with the Zhou Kingdom!I don’t know what Empress Wu Sheng and Li Zhenggang talked about after they met in private. No, Xuanyang State gave seven cities to Zhou State and then retreated, but only in exchange for the life of Li Huan, who had just turned one month old. After returning to China, Empress Wu Sheng kept silent about what agreement she had reached with Li Zhenggang, but Li Zhenggang died the next day after leaving behind two imperial edicts.”

    Compared with Yan Sui’s calmness, civil servants such as Lin Qiao and Wen Qing seemed to have thought of something, and their eyes gradually changed a little, while Wu Ge, who only knew how to kill people, was a little confused.

    Although they are all things that happened before and everyone knows about it, does it have any big connection with the prince’s request for Yan Sui’s help?After all, it has been so long, Li Shigang, Li Qin, and even Li Huan have been dead for so long.

    They say that when a person dies, the light goes out, and when the person leaves, the tea cools down, right?

    There was no one to explain Wu Ge’s confusion. Mu Su opened the fan and fanned it lightly, “I have to say that Li Qin’s descendants can be regarded as the best among people. They all have different intelligences. Who would have thought that Li Huan would become the current Minister of Household Affairs!He is in charge of the money and food of the world!But what I admire the most is the long-dead emperor of Xuanyang Kingdom.He was so kind to his sister’s descendants that the world didn’t expect!Is it really a brother-sister relationship or does he have some agenda?”

    “This is a family matter of Xuanyang Kingdom, how do I know about it.” Yan Sui said with a light smile.

    “Master Yan, aren’t you curious about the last two decrees left by the propagandist?”

    “If you know what to do, what to do if you don’t know?” Yan Sui looked at Mu Su and said calmly.

    Mu Su was stunned and then happy because of Yan Sui’s Taishan Ziruo, and then he put his forehead and chuckled, “Hahahaha, who is Mr. Yan? He can help me gain a foothold in the wolves like the Pishu Kingdom, and can also establish information channels. How come I don’t have my own intelligence station in Xuanyang Kingdom? It’s because I have entrusted you.”

    Yan Sui put down the tea cup and looked at Mu Su, “So, the prince wants me to use the legendary decree of Xuanyang Kingdom to disrupt the marriage between Zhou Kingdom and Shu Kingdom?”

    “Actually, regardless of whether Zhou Guotong agrees or not, as long as the person Mu Yu requests for marriage is Li Huan, Mu Yu’s plan will succeed! Because Li Shigang of Xuanyang Kingdom and Queen Wu Sheng had an agreement. When Li Shigang came to the border, he met Queen Wu Sheng in private. Xuanyang Kingdom exchanged seven cities for Li Huan’s life, but at the same time, Li Shigang also asked for a marriage agreement for her and her descendants of the Li family., the oral decree of marriage autonomy.And one of Li Shigang’s last two decrees was to order all descendants of the Li family who ascended to the throne to abide by it. They must find ways to protect the descendants of the Li Qin family during their lifetimes, and monitor whether the Queen of Zhou abides by the oath of marriage autonomy.If she violates the oath, she will welcome the Li Qin family back to her hometown.” Musu did not say yes, nor did he say no.The ambiguous explanation makes people confused.
