Chapter 140 Two People from Yan State

"When the second floor opened, everyone was silent, suddenly you rose up and smiled and said I can..."

Situ Yilan looked at him with a smile and shook her head, and said with emotion: "The picture is very good, the story is wonderful, but it's a pity that you are a poor person who cannot practice, just like me."

"I can..." Ning Que thought of himself saying that, probably not believing in the girl by the railing . He smiled gently and turned his words, looked at the lively place on the other end of the mantle , and said leisurely: "If this second floor is the second floor this time If you only recruit one person, then I don't understand why they are still so happy?"

Situ Yilan smiled and said, "Because Mr. Xie is much more popular than you, even if someone is jealous of him, he will not put it on his face, but will cheer for him like Zhong Dajun."

Ning Que was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Did you all forget one person?"

Situ Yilan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately figured out what he was referring to, and couldn't help but be shocked and unable to speak.

Including her, all the students in the academy forgot that Prince Longqing from Yan State. It may be because in the minds of the students, Prince Longqing is a big figure in the Judgment Department of the Xiling Temple and a peerless genius of cultivation, so they Subconsciously put this person in a higher position, and never thought of comparing it with himself. Moreover, the beautiful son of heaven who caused thousands of girls to be full of love as soon as he entered Chang'an City, lived in simplicity these days In Taohua Lane, even the palace banquet was not attended. It was so low-key.

"Everyone knows that the purpose of this Prince Longqing came to Chang'an City was to replace Prince Yan as a magistrate, but whether it was his prince's identity or the unoffensive dignity of the Xiling Temple, it needed another reason that could be justified, so he wanted to The rumors of going to the second floor of the academy to further study...maybe it is not just rumors."

Ning Que looked at her and continued, "If the second floor of the academy really only recruits one student this time, if Prince Longqing really wants to enter the second floor, then in your opinion, Xie Chengyun is still Linchuan Wang Ying is qualified. Become his opponent?"

"Mr. Xie San is of course talented, but how can he be compared with Prince Longqing? Wang Ying is still young..." Situ Yilan gradually digested the shock in her heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Can you know, will it be fine?" Prince Huilongqing does not occupy the quota for entering the building?"

Ning Que shook his head and said, "If the quota is taken, what should these happy guys do?"

He smiled and felt relieved, "...but I think even if I know that I want to compete with Prince Longqing for the only quota, Xie Chengyun would not be discouraged. On the contrary, he might be able to be inspired to fight a stronger will."

Situ Yilan shook her head and said, "Prince Longqing has to step into the realm with one foot. The third prince Xie has just entered the forty-minded state. The difference between the two is too huge, and the fighting will not play a big role."

Looking at the classmates on the terrace who were drinking happily, thinking about the opening of the second floor of the next day, the Prince Longqing walked over and made the students of the academy dull, she said melancholy: "Although Mr. Xie is from Nanjin , it's not me, the Tang people, but after all, after studying in the academy for a year, he can enter the second floor, and we Tang people can accept it, but if it is... Prince Longqing overwhelmed Zhusheng and became the only one who entered the second floor It is hard to imagine what the elders in the court will be angry and disappointed with our students at that time."

Prince Longqing is from Yan State and is a proton. However, he is a big shot in the Xiling Temple Judgment Department, a world-class enemy who competes with the Tang Empire. If such a person is allowed to directly overwhelm the young of the Tang Empire with his strong strength in Chang'an City. A generation of handsome men waited for Ruoye to slapped hard in the face in the Tang Empire.

"I don't understand why the academy is doing this rule this time." Situ Yilan frowned and looked at the fish swimming in the lake , and said, "Isn't this deliberately creating a scene for Prince Longqing to see the mountains?"

Ning Que smiled and comforted, "It hasn't started yet, and I don't know how to enter the second floor of the academy. How can you predict in advance that the only person who can enter the second floor is Prince Longqing?"

"The Xiling Temple is my world enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Even if I stand on the enemy's side, I must admit that Prince Longqing is definitely the best person in the younger generation today, and it is difficult to find an opponent."

Situ Yilan said in a low mood: "It is not shameful to admit that the enemy's strength is. What really bothers me is that the Tang Empire has always emerged in many talents, and in our generation, we can't find anyone who can compete with each other."

"Who said no?" Ning Que said with a smile.

Situ Yilan looked at him with a smile and said, "If you want to talk about yourself, it's really not convincing."

"Okay." Ning Que sighed, spread his arms and said, "You don't have to worry about these things anymore. Their left and right are just face-to-face matters. Even if Prince Longqing's body shocked the heroes and the females were lost. The Yan State still wants to pay tribute to us, but the Xiling Temple still dares not provoke us, and there will be no essential changes."

"It's not facial skills, it's honor and dignity. By the way, you are also from a border army, why don't you feel like you at all?"

"What should I be a soldier in the Tang Dynasty? Just like Hua Shanyue, I just looked at her eyes and walked with her hands on the hilt, and she was so strong that she looked like a soldier? I don't think so. What a soldier depends on defending the territory and opening the border is not a good manner , but not a good person. of."

"What else?"

"Discipline, courage, trust."

"By the way, you should know Hua Shanyue , right?" Situ Yilan looked at him curiously.

Ning Que thought about the moment when he had touched the Gushan County Chief Commander before , and then smiled and replied, "He is the best among the younger generation of my Tang Dynasty military. I am just an ordinary person, and I can't say I know you. , I just faced me, but that was a year ago. Speaking of which, I remember he didn't like me a little at that time."

Situ Yilan didn't know what was happening on the grassland trip , and said with a smile: "I found that there seemed to be not many people in Chang'an City like you."

Ning Que shook his head and refuted: "You obviously don't know me enough. You can go and ask the neighbors in Lin47 Alley. Except for Wu Laoer next door, who doesn't like me? I'll take you with me last time. I have been to Hongxiuzhao. Look at those girls, who doesn't like me?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you." Situ Yilan looked at the quiet house deep in Deshengju and said, "Are you going in with us later, or go in alone?"

"What are you doing when you go in?" Ning Que looked at her gaze and shook his head and said, "I don't want to have dinner with that highness, and she may not invite us in."

"You really guessed that the princess was having a banquet there." Situ Yilan smiled and replied, "If you were to call you and me in normally, but since all the classmates of the academy gathered here today, the guests who were invited by Your Highness were also welcomed by you and me. He is definitely not an ordinary person, so she will definitely call us in later. "

Ning Que thought for a moment and understood what was hidden in her words like Hua Shanyue before. He couldn't help but smile sarcastically, thinking silently in his heart, Li Yu, you can't help but develop in the younger generation of the empire. Power, enhance your influence, and at the same time, use this to show your wrist thickness to distinguish your guests...

"It is impossible for more than a hundred people to go in." He said with a smile: "I must choose some guys with good grades and good moral character to come in to meet His Royal Highness. It's not my turn."

Situ Yilan remembered that one day he met his little maid Sangsang in the princess's mansion, and said annoyedly, "You and Your Highness have had their old age in the past, and now they are quite familiar with each other. I want to take you in. Who dares to say anything?"

...

...

The boss of Deshengju bought a restaurant in Nancheng and found that he had a deep natural background, but he was responsible for the livelihood of people coming and going, and he must be a long-lasting person. Although the students of the academy bought the lakeside terrace and couldn't make much money, if they were normal, he would definitely find ways to get close to those students for future use. However, today he did not deal with the students at all, but waited respectfully outside the second gate like a servant.

Dozens of maids and servants walked between the quiet houses with food trays and utensils. They were well-trained and did not make any sound. They could only hear the rustling sound of the wind blowing on the treetops in the house. The boss of Deshengju stared at everyone's movements with sharp eyes. After confirming that there was no problem, he relaxed a little and raised his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The most quiet and expensive backyard of Deshengju can be kept, and the boss of Deshengju is willing to serve the servants. You can imagine how noble the identity of both the guests and the hosts of the backyard are today. The host of today's banquet is Li Yu, His Highness, the fourth princess of the Tang Dynasty. The guest she invited was indeed a distinguished guest. If nothing unexpected happens, after leaving Chang'an City, the guest will never have the chance to return to Chang'an for the rest of his life. .

At the end of the shiny ebony floor, two short sides were facing each other. After the left hand plan, he sat in a seat to meet the young man. He saw him wearing plain green clothes , wearing a jade hairpin on his bun, with straight eyebrows and bright eyes, which looked extremely calm and gentle. A few traces of silver hair that could be seen in the hair inadvertently reveal the depression over the years.

Prince Yan, who has been hostage in Chang'an City for nearly ten years, looked at Li Yu, the princess of the Tang Dynasty opposite him, picked up the wine glass at hand, drank it slowly and firmly, and then said with emotion: "I went to Chang'an for the fourth year of the Tianqi period. , after six years of re-entering Chang'an, I finally got to know you for ten years with Your Highness. Although you went to the grassland for two years in the middle, you are still growing up together. I don't know when I will meet again after this separation. Some sigh."

"Brother Chongming, you and I know that if you want to meet in Chang'an City, it must be because of two reasons. Since that's the case, it's better not to meet, or if there is a chance, I'll visit you in Chengjing. ."

Li Yu smiled slightly, picked up the small wine glass that he had been playing with for a long time between his fingers, and took a sip. During the meal, both of them knew that the Crown Prince Chongming would succeed to the throne if nothing unexpected happened after Emperor Yan died . If the king of a country still wanted to enter Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, then there were only two possibilities: one was Yan State Destroyed by the Tang Empire, he was taken to Chang'an as the king of the fallen country to offer prisoners and sacrifices to heaven. The second type was that he led the Yan army to invade the city of Chang'an.

The former is too bleak and the latter is too impossible, so Li Yu would say it is better not to see each other.

"It's good if you don't see me." Prince Yan smiled slightly and said, "As you said, if there is a Shandong in the future, you can go to Chengjing to see me. Then I will be the master and invite you to eat some fresh things."

"It's not my childhood now, so I can't only be greedy for my mouth." Li Yu smiled and said, "But Brother Chongming in the future, you will be the king of a country. If I reach out to you, it will be convenient."

One is the orthodox heir to the throne of Yan State, and the other is the princess with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty. It seems that it is just a childish friendship before separation, but in fact, who knows which sentence hides future disputes?

Prince Yan was silent slightly , and a bitter smile appeared on his thin cheeks. He raised his glass and said in a low voice: "The king of a country... is not so easy to do? I have lived in Chang'an City for nearly ten years. I have long been accustomed to the climate, land and people here, but I really don't want to go back."

"Brother, you are inappropriate. Emperor Yan is old and in poor health..." Li Yu shook his head gently.

"What's wrong? My father didn't like me back then, so he rushed to Chang'an as a hostage. He didn't have any sadness or pain. For eight years, I spent my entire city silently and quietly living like the year, and I was in Beijing. Have you ever sent me a few letters to express your concern? Actually, the whole Yan State...has I forgotten me long ago?"

Prince Yan raised his wine glass and drank it all, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

"I spent two years on the grassland. I was also worried that Chang'an City would forget me, but it turned out that as long as you are still alive and come back, no matter how old and thin the memories are, they will be picked up again."

Li Yu looked at Prince Yan with a firm expression and said, "It was Brother Chongming that you gave me the idea that I had to go to the grassland and put me out of it. I have gained great benefits. Now Brother Chongming is about to return to China, so I will give you my wishes too. A few gifts, but I know you are not willing to ask for them, but you must remember one thing clearly. No matter how bad the situation in Chengjing is, you are the eldest prince after all, and no one can rob you of the throne. Now!"

Prince Yan looked back at her calmly , thinking that she had worked hard for her younger brother over the years, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pain in the same way. After laughing at herself, she said, "The problem now is not that someone wants to steal my throne, but this The throne does not belong to me. In the eyes of all Yan people, my wise and powerful younger brother is more suitable to sit on that imperial chair than this cowardly prince who has been imprisoned in Chang'an for many years."

After a moment of excavation, he continued to whisper: "Although I have been away from Chengjing for many years, I still remember some things clearly when I was a child. Longqing seemed to be a genius since he was born. Whether it is riding, shooting, poetry, or even practicing, it seems that there is no such thing in the world. What he could not do, but compared to him, I, the prince, had nothing special, so the father liked him and pampered him, and the ministers trusted him and relyed on him, which became a very natural thing."

"What's more, he is now a big shot in the Judgment Department of Xiling Temple."

Prince Yan looked at Li Yu and said, "From the day he entered Xiling Tianyu Academy , Longqing's mother tribe began to build momentum in Chengjing. Now this momentum is no longer suppressed by manpower, because he has strong support outside, and strong support... …from Xiling."
