Yuan Qing walked in from the outside with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, a letter from Ge Shangshu."
Yan Han raised his head from the imperial case, his gaze was fixed for a moment, and after receiving the letter and opening it, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "The pen and ink are waiting for you."
When Yuan Qing heard this, he immediately stepped forward to polish the ink and spread the paper. Yan Han stared for a moment, then picked up the pen and began to write. He wrote two letters. The first letter was written to Ge Yang, and the second letter was addressed to Lin Zhang. Yes, after finishing writing and sealing the letter, Yan Han said again, "Quickly ask someone to send it to them, and let everything act according to what I said in the letter."
Yuan Qing took the letter, and went out without saying a word. When Yuan Qing came back, Yan Han wrote a third letter, and handed it to Yuan Qingdao after writing, "Send this letter to the north for delivery." To King Cheng."
Yuan Qing hesitated for a while, "The emperor wants to..."
Yan Han had nothing to say to Yuan Qing, and said, "The Shuoxi Army and Beifu Army in the north have joined forces with Yue Qiong, and now they have arrived in the south of Cangzhou. Ge Yang and the others have stayed in Yingzhou for many days. Now it's time to move." gone."
Yuan Qing's eyebrows jumped, "The emperor wants Ge Shangshu and the others to go west at this time?"
Yan Han nodded, Yuan Qing's heart tightened slightly, and he knew what those two letters were about.
Yuan Qing nodded, and went out to order someone to deliver a letter to King Cheng, but just as he walked out, he saw Yan Li standing at the door.
Yuan Qing was taken aback, "Why is His Highness Prince Gong here?"
Yan Li stood straight at the door, with a solemn expression on his face. Hearing this, he glanced at the letter in Yuan Qing's hand, and said, "I'm here to see the emperor."
Yuan Qing laughed hurriedly, "Okay, I'll report to you now, servant."
Yuan Qing went back inside again, and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Gong is here."
Yan Han raised his eyebrows, apparently surprised, but still said, "Let him in."
Yuan Qing immediately went out to deliver the order, and after a while, Yan Li walked in, saluted, and Yan Han asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
Yan Li put his robe back on his knees and said, "This minister is here to beg the emperor today. Although the emperor has allowed this minister to enter the household department for training, but now that there are frequent wars in the north, this minister is here to ask for a fight today. I hope the emperor will let Yan Go north to join the army."
Hearing this, Yan Han frowned first, and then laughed, "You, like Yue Jia, have moved to go north. Yue Jia begged to go north. Anyway, he was born in the army, but you... I didn't know that you knew the art of war. And your three-legged cat's kung fu is useless on the battlefield, that's it, what can you do when you go north?"
Yan Li frowned slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "The Hubu is in charge of the military supplies of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the minister can be used for rear defense and dispatch."
Yan Han narrowed her phoenix eyes when she heard the words, "There is no shortage of these people in the Northern Expeditionary Army. Of course, if you are ambitious, you can't leave the capital to practice more. But now, you haven't even started the household affairs. How to get out? When we get to the north, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to the Marquis of Anyang."
The corners of Yan Li's lips were tightly pursed, and he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Yan Han said, "You don't need to say it, the battle situation is a bit calmer now, and everything has been properly arranged, there is nothing I can give you. location, you can stay in the capital with peace of mind."
He waved his hands as he spoke, "I still have government affairs to deal with, so go ahead."
Yan Li raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Han, then got up and walked outside with gloomy eyes.
Yuan Qing stood at the door and didn't dare to go in. Seeing Yan Li coming out, he smiled and said, "Why did His Highness Prince Gong think about going north?"
Yan Li shook his head and didn't say anything. He went out and turned a corner, and walked in the direction of Shoukang Palace. After walking a few steps, Yan Li met Zhao Yu, the deputy commander of the imperial guards. Since Lin Zhang left temporarily, Zhao Yu is now General Yu was in charge of the defense of the inner palace, and behind him were several young generals of the imperial guards, who were coming from the direction of the school grounds.
Seeing Yan Li, several people saluted one after another, Yan Li smiled, "With Deputy Commander Zhao here, the defense of the inner palace is even stricter now."
After Lin Zhang left, the defense of the inner palace changed slightly. At first, Yan Han was a little dissatisfied. After asking about it personally, he found that Zhao Yu just added more people to the palace gates, and the defense was stricter than before. many.
Zhao Yu scratched his head and said embarrassingly, "Commander Lin left and asked the Imperial Guard to hand over the defense to me. If I made a mistake, I would have failed the emperor and Commander Lin, so I can only ask the brothers to work harder. After this period of time, when Commander Lin comes back, everything will be as usual."
Zhao Yu spoke directly, Yan Li looked at the generals behind Zhao Yu, and saw that these people were a bit unfamiliar, but he didn't care about the inner defense, so naturally he didn't want to ask more questions, so he went straight to Shoukang Palace. When they arrived at the Shoukang Palace, they found that Yan Ze was actually in the Shoukang Palace.
The prince rebelled and left, King Cheng went north to supervise the war, Yan Chi also became a traitor, and the other princes were also very reserved and reclusive, so the only junior brothers who often met in the capital were Yan Li and Yan Ze. Li still wanted to comfort her, but saw that there was no trace of sadness on his face, on the contrary, he often came to Shoukang Palace recently, and spent less time with the Queen Mother, but more time with Yan Sui. Today, Yan Ze is teaching Yan Sui how to write.
"Third brother, you came early."
Yan Ze glanced at Yan Li, turned his head and said, "Where did you go just now? Why are you so depressed?"
Yan Li was seen through at a glance, and there was only a wry smile on his face, "I want to go to the north, but the emperor doesn't allow it."
Yan Ze frowned slightly, "Of course I won't let you go, even Yue Jia can't go, let alone you."
Yan Li sat carelessly beside the stone table, watching Yan Sui write Prince Gong's "Gong" stroke by stroke, "Why are you writing this word?"
Yan Ze smiled, "He knows how to write all of our titles, the only thing missing is your name."
Yan Sui lay on the stone table, writing stroke by stroke, looking very obedient, with a small dagger hanging on his waist, after more than half a year, he has grown a lot taller, and he has become more and more attractive. Silent and dull, Yan Li stroked Yan Sui's hair, looked at Yan Ze and said, "Aren't you going to find Yue Ning?"
Yan Ze sighed when he heard the words, "Ning'er is a child, I don't want to force her."
Yan Li's words were blocked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he went into the palace to see the Queen Mother, who was half lying on the low couch by the window and fell asleep in the morning under the care of Nanny Chen, covering her body with a blanket and pretending to sleep. Hearing the movement, he opened his eyes and said in a trance, "Han'er—"
Yan Li's pupils trembled, and he stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, you mistook the person, it was me."
The Queen Mother stared at Yan Li for a while, then said with a smile, "No... I did not admit the wrong person, Han'er, is your eldest brother out of school?"
Yan Li's back stiffened slightly, "He...he hasn't..."
The queen mother sighed, "Your elder brother is going to be the prince, he has to learn too much, Han'er, being an emperor is the most tiring thing in the world, your father is too demanding of your elder brother, you usually need more Help your elder brother, you are brothers, but no one else can compare."
Yan Li nodded with a stiff smile, "Yes, you are right."
The queen mother showed a satisfied smile, "That's right, that's right..."
The Empress Dowager seemed to be extremely sleepy, she leaned on the pillow behind her and closed her eyes again, but she held onto Yan Li's hand and did not let go. After a while, he slowly broke away from the Queen Mother's hand, got up and walked out, but as soon as he turned around, Yan Li saw Yan Ze standing at the door.
Yan Ze stood there for an unknown amount of time, with a light and gentle expression on his face, without any emotion at all.
Yan Li walked to the door lightly, and said after going out, "The imperial grandmother seems to be getting more and more confused."
Yan Ze smiled and said, "No, when I came just now, he regarded His Highness Ninth Prince as you when you were a child."
Yan Li paused again, but Yan Ze put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Although the emperor doesn't want you to go to the north, if you really want to go, it's not impossible. You and Ning'er are still children , what do you want to do?"
Yan Li turned to look at Yan Ze, "The third brother means..."
"You want to see Yan Chi, right?"
Yan Ze sighed, "I'm afraid Ning'er went to the north to find Yan Chi and Qin Wan."
Yan Li frowned slightly, and before he said anything, Yan Ze walked outside where Yan Sui was writing, and while tidying up the pen and ink in Yan Sui's hand, he said, "Now that Yan Chi and Qin Wan are in the north, Shuo Xi is empty." Come out, I guess, His Majesty will not miss this opportunity."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Sui raised her little head.
