Chapter 15: Yuan Cheng's counter-plot
"Then you say, when is the best time to send troops to the Southern Dynasty?" Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke wondered.
"First of all, Xiao Baojuan is only in his teens and is still a child. He can live for many more years. Therefore, the foundation of the Southern Dynasty can allow him to continue to toss for ten years. Secondly, there are still capable people in the Southern Dynasties. This is also the reason why the first emperor had to withdraw his troops. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.
"Didn't the capable people of the Southern Dynasty let the tyrant Xiao Luan kill almost?" Emperor Xuanwu asked.
"How can I not believe it? Xiao Yan is a capable person in the Southern Dynasty. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.
"Xiao Yan, is it Xiao Shuda? The clan of the Southern Dynasty Qi State? Xiao Yan, the nephew of Xiao Daocheng, the founder of the Southern Dynasty Qi State? Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke asked.
"Your Majesty, the first emperor once said: Xiao Baojuan, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, is a faint monarch. But Xiao Yan, the Yongzhou assassin of the Southern Dynasty, was a saint. If Your Majesty wants to destroy the Southern Dynasty and dominate the world. Xiao Yan must be eliminated. Yuan Cheng said with a smile.
"I've heard of Xiao Yan too. He is both civil and military, and is proficient in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. He and seven people are known as the Eight Friends of Jingling. He was a saint of the Southern Dynasty. However, I heard that I was also a little afraid of guilt. is actually in his thirties, and he still doesn't dare to take a concubine. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke covered his mouth and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Yan is afraid of guilt. However, he is not a useless person. He just didn't want his wife to be sad. This is just like His Majesty is unwilling to pamper other concubines for the sake of noble concubines. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.
"Go, go...... Why did you mention the harem again? Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke said angrily.
Wei Chen continued to talk about Xiao Yan. Xiao Yannai was the most strategic person in the Southern Dynasty. Although Xiao Baojuan was mediocre, he didn't dare to kill him casually. If Xiao Yan is not removed, the Southern Dynasty will never be pacified. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said worriedly.
"And what do you have in mind?" Emperor Yuan Ke of the Northern Wei Dynasty asked.
"Your Majesty, we can let Xiao Baojuan kill Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan has always been known as a saint. This is what Xiao Baojuan is not pleased with. β
"Aiqing means to use: anti-plotting?" Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's a counter-plot. Xiao Yan can be eliminated. Rencheng Wang Yuancheng suggested.
"How?" Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said with a smile.
"Let's take a walk around the rumors: Xiao Yan is accumulating strength in Yongzhou and preparing to rebel. Xiao Baojuan will inevitably send someone to investigate, and then we will secretly kill Xiao Baojuan's messenger. Xiao Baojuan must have thought that Xiao Yan was going to rebel. In this way, Xiao Yan will inevitably rebel. We can reap the benefits of the fisherman. King Ren Cheng smiled.
"Aiqing's plan sounds seamless. However, if Xiao Yan destroys Xiao Baojuan, won't we lose more than we gain? Xiao Yanruo took the opportunity to replace Xiao Baojuan and became the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. I'm afraid that our Wei State is about to face a powerful enemy. Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke worried.
"We can also announce that Xiao Yan killed the monarch and seized the throne, and take the opportunity to crusade against Xiao Yan. In this way, we are also famous! Rencheng Wang Yuancheng said with a smile.
Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke thought to himself: This plan is very good. No matter what the outcome is, we can crusade against the Southern Dynasty.
"Even if Xiao Baojuan kills Xiao Yan. It will inevitably make the hearts of the people of the Southern Dynasties float. We can also take the opportunity to go south. Rencheng Wang Yuanke said with a smile.
"Aiqing is really a god." Xuanwu Emperor Yuan Ke said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is falsely praised. However, Xiao Yan is not so easy to deal with. He was a meritocracious man. If only we could let him work for our Wei State. Then His Majesty can create a great cause like Qin Shi Huang. Rencheng Wang Yuanke said with a smile.
"I have long hoped that I can inherit the legacy of the emperor, pacify Kyushu, and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world." Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile.
Let's talk about Xiao Yan's side.
He and Chen Qingzhi were talking about Ding Lingguang.
"What? Master, do you want me to marry Ding Lingguang? Chen Qingzhi thought: No? I'm in the 21st century. How can I change history? What about the woman who married her lord?
"Yes! Ding Lingguang is the same age as you. It's nothing for you to marry her. Xiao Yan pretended to be polite.
"Your Majesty, it sounds like nothing. But, sir, I know that, too. You've long liked Miss Ding Lingguang. You want to marry her. Why do you want to do this? Chen Qingzhi instantly pierced the window paper.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: Chen Qingzhi is worthy of being my personal scholar! I knew my mind so quickly.
"Now that you know my mind. I won't hide it from you. To be honest, I was also forced by my wife. I don't want you to marry Ding Lingguang. You have to find a way to stop Madame's plot from succeeding. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"The lord's idea is a little naΓ―ve. Madame is so sophisticated. How can it not be seen? If Madame knew all this, she would definitely come up with other ways to deal with Ding Lingguang. Chen Qingzhi said worriedly.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: yes! What to do?
"Then, Chen Qingzhi. Do you have any other way? Xiao Yan asked.
"There are ways to do it. Let Your Majesty give you a marriage. It's the best way to do it. Madame is amazing. She can't disobey His Majesty. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"Chen Qingzhi, aren't you playing an international joke with me? How could His Majesty grant marriage for no reason? Besides, if Your Majesty really sees Ding Lingguang, I'm afraid she will be made a concubine. How could he possibly give marriage? Xiao Yan said angrily.
He thought to himself: Chen Qingzhi said this, isn't he making fun of me?
"Possibly. Lord. As long as we have a good way. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
"What's the solution? Make Your Majesty happy. For example, doesn't Your Majesty like beautiful women? The lord can send some beauties to His Majesty. In this way, Your Majesty will also grant your request. Moreover, His Majesty's favorite concubine Pan Yunu also had a holiday with adults. This can also restrain Pan Yunu. Moreover, once the beauty given to His Majesty is favored, it can also be used as an internal response. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.
Xiao Yan thought to himself: This Chen Qingzhi really has a way. He's my advisor.
"Good. I sent someone to select the stunning beauties of Yongzhou to give to Your Majesty. Xiao Yan said with a smile.
However, the news that Chen Qingzhi was going to marry Ding Lingguang had already spread.
The most unhappy is Xiao Yan's eldest daughter Xiao Yuyao.
"What? Chen Qingzhi is actually going to marry Ding Lingguang, a little slut. Is Daddy crazy? I was afraid that my mother would be unhappy, so I did it. Xiao Yuyao scolded.
Xiao Yuyao's maid Xiao Lian'er said: "Miss, Lord Chen Qingzhi has always been a childhood sweetheart with you. How can you get that vixen cheaper? β
"No, I can't. I'm going to talk to my father. Xiao Yuyao said angrily.
So, Xiao Yuyao hurriedly ran to the study to see Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan is looking at the water conservancy in Yongzhou.
He thought to himself: Yongzhou's forest coverage rate is okay. Is it possible to develop the land? Or vigorously attract investment?
"Daddy." Xiao Yuyao shouted.
Xiao Yan was startled, looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" Daughter. β
