"It's not that something happened," Nan Yan said in a deep voice, licking the rim of the teacup, "Something might happen."
"ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes involuntarily as she listened.
The concubine of their family can be regarded as traveling with the emperor, and someone who has seen the big world, in front of her, the trivial things are almost not worth mentioning, but if even she says "something is going to happen", then it is no small matter .
Ran Xiaoyu hurried forward and squatted beside her: "Again, is there someone who wants to rebel?"
Nan Yan couldn't help chuckling.
He stretched out his hand and tapped Ran Xiaoyu's forehead, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, King Ning has just pressed down, if you talk like this, people will say that you cursed the court and the emperor."
Ran Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Listen to this meaning, no one wants to rebel.
She was really haggard both mentally and physically by the things that happened these days. Ever since Feng Shu was favored, her life has not been easy. Nan Yan has suffered all kinds of grievances, and she is also mentally haggard.
Really can't afford a second time.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "What is that?"
Nan Yan said: "For the imperial court, it is not necessarily only a major event when people rebel. Although this matter may not be as dramatic as King Ning's, but the impact is much greater than the rebellion of King Ning. "
"What is it exactly?"
Ran Xiaoyu thought about it, she is going to the emperor's family banquet tonight, could it be—
"It's those people, the people sent by the old uncle, is there any problem?"
Nan Yan said softly: "The problem is serious."
Ran Xiaoyu became more nervous, and leaned closer to her: "What's going on?"
Nan Yan said: "During dinner today, I have been paying attention to those three brothers. The boss Chen Zixiao is a very stable person, and according to them, he is familiar with the art of war. I’m afraid I’ll stay in the army.”
"oh?"
"Second brother, Chen Yiliu, this person behaves properly, and seems to be measured in what he says and does. In the future, he should also stay in the court."
"..."
"As for the youngest Chen Xuan..."
Nan Yan thought for a while.
This person is the youngest and doesn't seem to have any advantages, but the old uncle asked the three brothers to come here from a long distance, it is impossible to just let him come to see the world.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "So, they came here to beg officials?"
Nan Yandao: "Actually, His Majesty originally meant this too."
"Why?"
"Think about it, King Ning has fallen, how many of his subordinates have served in the court before, will the emperor still stay?"
Ran Xiaoyu understood as soon as she heard it: "Oh!"
Nanyan said: "That group of people will definitely dismount. The emperor is still staying in Crane City, but when he returns to Beiping, I'm afraid there will be a strong wind. When the court leaves so many places, how can it be possible?" Empty? Naturally, people will be arranged to go in again."
"..."
"This time, Dingguo Gong has made meritorious escort, I'm afraid he will take the opportunity to arrange for his own people to go in, including General Xu—"
Having said that, Nanyan stopped the conversation by herself.
Regarding the Xu family, the queen's family, she was reluctant to talk too much.
Ran Xiaoyu said: "In order not to let these people take up all the positions in the court, the emperor has to arrange some people of his own."
"That's right." Nan Yan nodded and sighed, "I hope these people are his own people."
Now that Zhu Feng has lost his memory, he has forgotten all his past. He really doesn't have many "people of his own".
He can believe less.
After they talked for a while, Nan Yan was thirsty again, but she had already finished the tea in the cup, Ran Xiaoyu hurriedly took the cup to refill some hot water, came back and offered it to her again, and said : "Speaking of it this way, it's the right time for old Uncle Guo and the others to come."
"it's time to?"
Nan Yan smiled slightly after hearing these words: "Yes, indeed, it's time."
Seeing her inexplicable smile, Ran Xiaoyu seemed to feel something again, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think there is any problem?"
Nan Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Do you really think it's just a coincidence?"
"Isn't it a coincidence?"
"Think about it, when Uncle Guo sent these three brothers here, he had just learned about the Great Sacrifice Altar. At that time, he should have seen King Ning's plot. If he really wanted to help, he should personally Come to the scene, as his uncle, to help the emperor suppress King Ning."
"..."
"But he didn't. Instead, he asked three brothers of the same generation to come here, each with their own strengths. It was clearly here to plug this loophole."
"Could it be that they are sure that the emperor will win?"
Nan Yan glanced at Ran Xiaoyu and smiled: "Anyone who is familiar with the emperor knows that he will not lose."
"..."
For some reason, although she was talking about business, Nan Yan's words seemed to be showing off.
Ran Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and said: "I know the emperor is powerful, the empress has good eyesight!"
Nan Yan couldn't help smiling too.
But after laughing, it was not easy, she said: "Now I think, I am afraid that the old uncle's monkhood was not that simple."
"ah?"
"I heard from the empress that the old uncle became a Taoist monk after the former prince fell ill. The other brothers of Empress Chen died young. Once he left, the former empress's family completely quit the court."
"Here, what's the problem?"
Nan Yan looked at her with a smile, and there was a bit of coldness in the smile: "Then look, how many of the big clan that followed Emperor Gao are still there?"
When Ran Xiaoyu heard this, her expression turned cold.
Like ice.
good.
After Emperor Gao ascended the throne, several major treason cases occurred one after another. The heroes who followed him were purged, and those who survived were really rare.
Nan Yan continued: "Besides, that time is just right, it was when the first prince was ill."
Ran Xiaoyu said: "What's the matter?"
"The prince fell ill first, and passed away not long after. The emperor named the grandson of the emperor, and then ascended the throne as Emperor Wen. Of course, we all know what happened afterwards."
"..."
"At that time, the ministers of the court and the central government, how many of them should be reused now?"
Ran Xiaoyu gasped.
She sighed: "This old uncle is so smart."
Nan Yan shook her head: "He's not smart."
"ah?"
Ran Xiaoyu turned her head to look at her in astonishment, only to see Nanyan's eyes flicker slightly, and said in a deep voice, "He is wisdom."
"..."
"Being in the vortex of power, and having reached such a high position, it is a kind of wisdom to be able to let go when it is time to let go without delay, and it is even more ruthless that ordinary people don't have."
"..."
"His retreat not only saved himself, but also saved their family."
Speaking of this, she sighed: "Although this man is a general, he is terrifyingly calm and rational!"
