Chapter 283 Situation in various regions
Prince Yan summoned his staff to the study to discuss matters and sent Qing'er to the side room.
"The Nalan family is going to have two great scholars come. What do you think?"
King Yan asked these people directly for their opinions.
"Your Highness, the Nalan family was convicted before, but now they can walk openly? Doesn't that mean that all our previous efforts have been in vain?"
"Indeed! When the Nalan family was framed for treason, the emperor didn't believe it and dealt with some of the Nalan family. It would be hard for the lucky survivors to accept them, right?"
......
Many staff members talked at once and disagreed with the arrival of the Nalan family.
King Yan knew that they had selfish motives, so he could only appease them, "Since we didn't catch them all that day, we can only win them over now."
"You all know the status of the Nalan family in the hearts of scholars all over the world. Their surname is more important than the emperor in the hearts of scholars."
The King of Yan regretted his decision so much because of a change of mind at that time.
The staff looked at each other and knew that if the people from the Nalan family came, they would be unable to stop them.
By that time, all of them combined will be no match for the Nalan family. They know this.
"How is the prince going to place them?"
One of the staff members boldly asked, "You and the princess are not on good terms now, will the people of the Nalan family work hard for the prince?"
What this man said was exactly what King Yan was worried about.
"Your Majesty, why not let the two gentlemen from the Nalan family stay with the prince and observe him for a while before asking them for advice."
Everyone seconded the proposal.
"The situation in various places is not good. Yanzhou needs to make early plans. What do you think?"
After finalizing the matter of the Nalan family, Prince Yan began to discuss the affairs of Mingzhou, Lianzhou and the capital with everyone.
He got some news, but he's not sure whether it's true or not.
"More than half of the troops from Lianzhou have arrived in Mingzhou. What do you think is going on there?"
King Yan was somewhat puzzled as to what was going on, and asked everyone.
"Could it be that King Ming and King Li have joined forces to rebel?"
"How is that possible! If they want to rebel, wouldn't it be more reasonable for both sides to gather in the capital?
What's more...the capital city has suffered heavy losses, the emperor has issued a self-blame edict, and the drought has caused a crop failure, so this is a good time.
If they really wanted to, they wouldn't have gathered in the open.
Besides, King Ming may not submit to King Li."
An aide hastily retorted, "Your Majesty, don't listen to him or be led astray by him. The current situation is better to remain calm than to act. It won't be too late to act when the opportunity comes. Besides, the border is unstable and there are frequent invasions by foreign races. It is more important to guard this small piece of land in front of the gate."
"Indeed! Prince Ming and Prince Li didn't care about the lives of the people, but Your Majesty fought off the foreign tribes. It's better to have a good reputation now than to cause trouble."
Everyone tried to dissuade him, fearing that Prince Yan would really want to get involved.
"Forget it, you guys just leave first! We'll discuss it again after we get news from the other side." King Yan sent everyone away and sat at the desk, not knowing what he was thinking about.
An Yi appeared at this time, "Your Majesty, Master Zhu has come to greet the princess again."
After hearing this, the King of Yan looked up, somewhat suspicious, "They have been writing to each other frequently recently, have you found anything wrong?"
"No. Mr. Zhu just wrote a letter to say hello. We tried many tricks but didn't find anything unusual." This is exactly what An Yi suspected.
In the past few years, the correspondence between these two people was all through the prince, but recently they suddenly started to bypass the prince and contact each other frequently.
An Yi always felt that something was wrong, so he reported it.
"Keep it sealed as it is and don't let the princess notice." Prince Yan glanced at the letter and found that the content was no different.
"What happened to Prince Li? Why did most of the troops go to Prince Ming's territory?"
King Yan is still struggling with this matter.
"Lianzhou blocked the news, and it seems that they rebelled, so they went to Mingzhou. On the surface, it seems that Prince Ming stole Prince Li's army."
An Yi's information was uncertain, and he did not dare to be sure in front of Prince Yan, for fear of affecting Prince Yan's judgment.
"There's still no news from the capital?"
Prince Yan always felt that he had missed something, so he specifically asked about things in the capital.
"The capital is heavily guarded. People are allowed in but not out. If someone goes in, no news can get out."
An Yi had no choice but to tell the truth.
The Prince of Yan's mother died early, and he had no capable relatives from outside his family, let alone a powerful family of his wife. As a result, he was short of manpower in the capital, and news came slowly.
Prince Yan nodded and instructed, "Pay more attention to the news of the two princes, and also pay more attention to the princess."
"Yes! Someone has been watching the princess, and nothing wrong has been found." An Yi bowed his head and reported, "Even the princess was not speaking loudly to the wet nurse, and our people didn't dare to get close to her."
"See if the maidservant around the princess can be bribed, and then go find Qing'er to ask."
Prince Yan rubbed his brows, his whole body showing fatigue, "Oh, right, go to Aunt Hua and count out the things that I have taken from the princess over the years, and avoid being seen by others."
"Madame Hua may not listen to me. If she shouts and makes a scene~"
The dark side looked embarrassed.
After all, the owner of Jingwen Cottage is the prince's woman. He has gone too far. He has to endure her whispering.
"If she screams and makes a fuss, just shut her mouth and don't let anyone hear her." Speaking of that, the King of Yan became more and more impatient.
With the prince's order, An Yi had a clear mind and quickly gathered people to do what the prince had ordered.
Prince Yan sat alone in the study with an unclear expression.
"What exactly do Prince Ming and Prince Li want to do?"
......
Lianzhou Liwang Mansion.
Qianyuan and Lin Gu discussed matters in Prince Li's study and analyzed the current situation with Prince Li.
Yue Song was kneeling below, not daring to make a sound.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, the person behind the rebels is most likely the emperor." Qian Yuan expressed his opinion.
He has become familiar with Lin Ge in the past few days and does not dare to underestimate this man. In order to gain the trust of King Li, Qian Yuan can only use all his skills.
"Why do you think so?" After hearing this, Prince Li motioned for him to continue, "Mr. Qian, please go on."
"The rebels headed straight for the capital, and the emperor gave them orders to attack the Ming King and alienate the relationship between him and you.
The King of Ming will surely think that you ordered the rebels to attack Mingzhou. If you send a letter to explain this to the King of Ming, he will surely not believe you. "
Qian Yuan expressed his thoughts and glanced at Lin Ke secretly. This man would definitely do the opposite.
As expected, Lin Ge spoke up at this time, "Your Majesty, Lord Qian's views are somewhat biased."
Prince Li gestured, "Yu Ru, what do you think?"
“The rebels are the Ming king’s men. They went to the capital to pretend they were going to attack the capital, and then they pretended they were going to Mingzhou.
The emperor is a suspicious person. If they go to Mingzhou now, he will definitely think that the prince is framing the king of Ming."
What both of them said made sense, and Prince Li was somewhat shaken.
"Your Highness, you must make plans early. No matter what happens, Lianzhou will suffer." Yue Song knelt on the ground and said unwillingly.
Qian Yuan stroked his beard with his right hand, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
