In the early morning, Lin Sui opened his eyes at the same time as usual.
There seemed to be something warm at his feet, which woke him up instantly, and he sat up very quickly with his legs bent, and saw the puppy sleeping wrongedly curled up beside his lap.
Yan Qin is much stronger than when he first met, and the young man's twitching speed is very fast, so it is difficult for him to put himself in this position.
Lin Sui didn't make a sound to get him up. After hanging his toes in the air for a while, he kicked the sleeping boy.
Yan Qin's posture was to hang above the bed, but under the force of this kick, he rolled directly off the bed.
Yan Qin opened his eyes suddenly, and before he could cry out the pain, he saw Lin Sui looking down at him from above.
The black hair was loose and the obscene clothes were slightly messy, and the delicate white feet stepped on the quilt, showing some light pink.
He looked at it stupidly, as if he had hit his brain just now, and he didn't look very smart at all, and it seemed that his brain was even more dull.
"Who allowed you to climb on Ben Gong's bed?"
Yan Qin said honestly: "Last night I was woken up from the cold, and I lay down in a daze for some reason."
Lin Sui didn't doubt it either, and glanced at him coldly and said, "Go back to your Zhong Yu Palace."
Yan Qin didn't answer, but stared obediently at Lin Sui with a flattering smile on his face.
He played the trick of pretending to be stupid to the extreme, as long as the prince's brother didn't ask carefully or strictly prohibit him, he could still come.
Lin Sui couldn't see the little thought in his eyes, so he just pretended he didn't notice it.
Anyway, the puppy in front of him can only be watched but not eaten, Lin Sui quickly put his mind on the things he cares more about now.
As expected, Xue Dingchun was promoted to secretary supervisor, Zhangzhou had a major reshuffle, and those corrupt officials were dismissed, so naturally new people had to replace them.
Zhangzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a rich and prosperous place. This area is a fat vacancy, and many people want to look around.
The emperor deliberately suppressed the influence of the prince's faction, so those who sat in that position were those who the emperor felt were more reliable. Of course, for the sake of balance, he still gave a few positions to the people who were assigned to Shang Shuling.
The water is stable and stable, and no one else has any opinions. Of course, those old foxes will not let people know if they have opinions.
Lin Sui was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, nothing more than other things, this time the emperor chose a candidate, Zhong Zhuo had a say.
Zhong Zhuo belonged to the emperor's faction, and the people he recruited were naturally loyal to the emperor, but the emperor didn't know that he had another master behind him.
Lin Sui was playing with the bodhi bracelet in his hand, which was a new offering made by the new governor of Zhangzhou.
"Jiangnan is good."
Lin Sui laughed a few times, tapped his fingers lightly on his knees, and thought in his heart that this was really interesting.
The taste of fighting for power and profit is indescribable.
There seemed to be a slight movement outside the door, Lin Sui subconsciously looked over and met Yan Qin's eyes.
Yan Qin leaned against the door, looking at Lin Sui implicitly and obsessively.
What he is obsessed with is not his beauty, but the desire hidden in his eyes under his skin.
So high-spirited, so ambitious.
There is a tendency to point the country and scold Fang Qiu, which makes people's hearts boil.
Yan Qin was a little tired of his disguise, but he couldn't wait to enter the court, and wanted to enter the center of the vortex of power.
But this is by no means an easy task, and the current dormancy is for the future.
Yan Qin was sensitively aware that this change was definitely not what it appeared on the surface, otherwise Lin Sui would not have acted like this.
Yan Qin also operated secretly with the help of his grandfather, and placed his own staff in a seemingly inconspicuous position, and he also took a comprehensive view of the layout this time.
The prince's faction obviously didn't take advantage of it this time, but judging from the performance of the prince's brother, who is the dark chess player
Yan Qin secretly guessed in his heart, and also found it very interesting.
"Did you not be asked to return to Zhong Yu Palace a few days ago, why did you come again?"
Lin Sui waved to Yan Qin who was at the door, his good mood was still there, and there was some meaning of laughing at Yan Yan in his words.
Yan Qin leaned over eagerly, and said affectionately: "Ah Qin wants to see the prince's brother."
Lin Sui's brows and eyes were slightly darkened, as if he wanted to scold him, but he didn't know how to scold him.
He suspects that Yan Qin is now immersed in it and enjoys it forever, words and blows have no effect, and he doesn't bother to waste any more words.
The fake prince looked at the real royal blood with his cheeks propped up, and looked at the "brother" beside him like he was looking at a cat or a dog.
Lin Sui withdrew his gaze, put aside the string of bodhi beads he was playing with in his hand, and flipped through the picture scroll on the desk.
There are a total of three picture scrolls on the table, all of them are young men who are about his age or younger, and they are his pre-selected companions.
To be precise, it was the preliminary selection he showed to the outside world. He already had one candidate in mind, but he could choose another one from these three.
"Who are these people?"
Yan Qin looked at the three scrolls with curiosity on his face, but his heart sank.
This is obviously used to select people, but if it is to select talents, how do they use portraits? Mentors and counselors have always been determined by talent and strategy, and what does it have to do with appearance
Lin Sui looked at the small characters next to the painting and said, "The previous companions, Ben Gong, were not very satisfied, so it's time to pick a new one."
All three of them were shown to him by Shang Shuling, and they were all disciples of the same faction. Some were good at writing articles, some were good at strategizing, and each had its own strengths.
Yan Qin said unhappily: "I can also be a companion for the prince's brother, why do you want a newcomer to enter the palace?"
Xiaogou didn't notice how his tone sounded like a jealous concubine, as if he wanted to see His Majesty accept new people into the palace.
"Little fool, do you know what companion reading means?"
Lin Sui smiled and watched him pretending to be stupid, his eyes flicked back and forth among the materials of the three people, and he already had a conclusion in his heart.
He needs a steady and prudent subordinate, who is just right for the new talents he will recruit soon.
"Isn't it just to study with the prince's brother? I can do it too. I accompany the prince's brother every day."
Yan Qin has cultivated his face to a certain level, even though he goes to attend the audition every day to gain knowledge, yet he speaks so beautifully.
"The companions I want are more than that. They will become my spears, my spears, and my loyal subordinates." Lin Sui smiled and raised his fingers in the air, "I The direction pointed is the place where they conquered."
If power is desired, seek power.
To be a superior man, to be supreme in the world.
When others are cowardly, he is greedy, and as long as he survives for a day, he will not be willing to be inferior to others.
"You are not worthy to be my companion, understand?"
The young prince raised his eyes and said with great interest.
The arrogance and demeanor do not need to be opened and closed, but only a look can be shown.
His arrogance and arrogance are undisguised, and his contempt and contempt are clearly visible.
It makes people want to bow their heads and bow down, willing to be a minister.
Yan Qin's heart was beating like a drum, and he clenched his palms under his loose sleeves, and lowered his head to cover up his gaffe.
People's opinions will really change with the change of senses. He only has the memory of being stupid. He thinks that the prince is violent and brainless, so he is not outstanding. high position.
But he didn't think so long ago, the person in front of him was far more unfathomable than what he saw, and he was definitely not a stupid and stupid person.
His greed and ambition can arouse blood, Yan Qin understands his desire, because they yearn for the same path, that is, desire to become stronger.
Yan Qin remembered Lin Sui's fragile appearance that day, and even his breathing slowed down a bit.
It was as if he had picked off a gorgeous flower growing on a high place, wrapped it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed the petals repeatedly with his fingers to squeeze out the juice.
At that time, the fragrance must be decadent and fragrant, making people tremble.
Yan Qin couldn't help thinking that he and Lin Sui had a good chance of winning against Lin Sui. He wanted to dominate Lin Sui and control him, but he became a little bit unwilling to confront him, and wanted to sleep on his bed as he is now. Next, be his eagle dog.
It's just that everything is just fantasy now, Yan Qin pretended to be sad and wronged by his elder brother, and continued to play an idiot.
At the end of autumn, Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin, a sociable lady in the capital, took the lead in organizing a polo match, which attracted many invitees.
Lin Sui and others finally returned home from their grandfather and returned to the capital.
"Which family is that boy, his skills are exceptional."
King Qing sat beside Lin Sui, drinking tea and laughing.
Yan Qin had been playing with the hanging lock, and raised his head curiously upon hearing this.
At this moment, the one who came out on top was a young man riding a big maroon horse. He was tall and handsome, and he looked a bit vigorous in playing polo.
"It seems to be the nephew of the concubine side of Prince Lan's mansion, named Zhou Yunfang."
The relative next to him stepped forward and said, King Qing nodded and did not speak again.
Lin Sui knew the twists and turns in his heart, and looked down on others' identities, so he gave up thinking of keeping them for his own use.
Prince Lan is the elder brother of the current Holy Majesty. Now that he is over 60 years old, he still holds an idle official position in the court. Although he is a prince, he has no real power.
After all, Prince Lan also participated in the seizure of the throne back then, but he withdrew quickly and wisely, so he survived and was not sent to other places.
How could the nephew of such a prince's concubine's concubine who has no real power catch his eyes.
But this person is the one Lin Sui is waiting for. In the original book, before the crown prince was abolished, the emperor was instigated by others, thinking that Prince Lan intended to rebel, so he beheaded the elder brother's family and the concubine's family.
Zhou Yunfang lost his mother when he was young, and treated his aunt, the prince's side concubine, as his own mother. His uncle was wronged, his aunt was killed, his grandfather's family was harmed, even he was exiled to a place of bitter cold, and his heart was full of unwilling anger.
The place where he was exiled happened to be the territory of Prince Huai, and this prince was really rebellious.
Zhou Yunfang was born to be a good fighter in marching and fighting. From Prince Huai's guard all the way, he became the chief of the guard, and then became the leader of Prince Huai's personal soldiers, and finally followed him to plot a rebellion.
Yan Qin led troops to vindicate the rebellion of the vassal kings, but they were almost defeated by Zhou Yunfang. He left Zhou Yunfang because of his pity, so he should vindicate him and win Zhou Yunfang as a general.
Zhou Yunfang, who has gone through all these twists and turns in the future and finally became a famous general, is just a young man who can play polo well in the eyes of outsiders.
Yan Qin just raised his head for a few glances and then looked away disinterestedly. It wasn't until he found that his prince brother was sizing up this person that he became vigilant.
Doesn't this person just know how to ride a horse and play ball? Is there anything worth seeing for the prince
The appearance was just like that, Yan Qin silently compared himself with that person in his heart, thinking unwillingly that his stature seemed to be taller than him.
But he's only fifteen! He can still grow taller!
He heard the prince's elder brother ask: "How old is that kid?"
A person on the side replied: "It should be the 14th Five-Year Plan."
