From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1253

As an excellent intelligence leader, Ye Qingying is very perceptive in all aspects, especially in politics.

When Madam Xuesang said she wanted to talk alone, she immediately thought that the old woman wanted to pave the way for Ayinizi, and she must start with the lustful Prince Wei at home.

There is no way, the Prince Wei is famous and also famous for his lust, and Ayinizi is so beautiful, everyone knows that this routine has a great chance of success.

Even if some people pat their chests and promise that they will never mess around again, it is better to believe that the master secretly studies every day than to believe such words.

"Heh! Madam Xuesang!"

Ye Qingying narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't forget, besides being the executive officer of the Inner Court Division, I am also the princess. How can you put me in such a position when you are calculating these things in front of me?"

Madam Xuesang said calmly, "Really? I only heard that His Royal Highness Prince Wei has four princesses, but I haven't heard of any others. When did Officer Ye marry Prince Wei? Who was the matchmaker? Where did they get married?"

This sentence caught Ye Qingying's pulse, and she was so angry that she almost broke her defense. She immediately shouted, "He is still my junior brother! When Master is not here, I have the responsibility to discipline my junior brother!"

"You, don't even think about corrupting him!"

Even Ayinizi couldn't stand this sentence, and said in astonishment, "Sister Ye... You mean... lead him astray? Me?"

"I'm only fifteen..."

Ye Qingying said seriously: "Fifteen is still very young, so don't talk about marriage for the time being."

Zhou Yuan hurriedly came out to smooth things over, pulling the second sister out, and said in a low voice: "It should be something important, you can rest first, I will come to accompany you later."

Ye Qingying said: "Who cares who you want to accompany... I'm afraid that you will be tempted by beauty and make some regretful decisions."

Zhou Yuan patted the back of her hand and said: "Don't worry, I can actually guess what Madam Xuesang is going to say."

"You'd better not mess around, otherwise I'll tell Master..."

Ye Qingying gave a warning, and didn't bother much, but walked away.

Xiaoying blinked at Zhou Yuan, and followed Ye Qingying with a look of watching the fun.

Zhou Yuan returned to the tent, laughed, and sat down.

He looked at Ainizi and said, "Little Ayi, you left the master alone, are you worried about something?"

Ainizi murmured, "Grandma wants to talk to you... What are you thinking about..."

Madam Xuesang sighed and said, "Don't joke with me, Your Highness Prince Wei. I have been thinking for a long time and can't find any way to win. On the one hand, I want to hear your plan, and on the other hand, I want to ask for Ainizi."

Zhou Yuan said, "Let's talk about Ainizi first."

Madam Xuesang said, "This child has always been very smart. Now she is fifteen years old, and it is time for her to see the world. Can Prince Wei take her for a walk and see, and really treat her as a student."

"To be honest, these heirs in the Western Regions are not outstanding, but Ainizi is a rough jade. I believe that Prince Wei can make her shine."

It's easy to make her shine, but it's a bit difficult to shine...

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, "In the next one or two years, I will It will be very busy, and it will be inconvenient for her to be with me. "

"But I can find a good husband for her, such as Chenxi, such as my master."

"No matter how it is arranged, Ainizi must have a place to go. If it is just about this matter, it is easy to handle. It depends on what Ainizi thinks."

Ainizi said immediately: "I want to learn martial arts! I also want to go to the south of Dajin! I want to see the sea! I want to see iron boats! See firearms! See the direction of the world!"

Zhou Yuan said: "After the matter of the Western Regions is over, I can let Chenxi take you to Fuzhou Prefecture to visit the Fuzhou Treasure Ship Factory, you can board a warship and cruise the South China Sea."

Ainizi couldn't help but said: "Can you fight? Can I join the war?"

Zhou Yuan frowned and said: "Joining the war... This is not a joke, you need to fight for it yourself. If you can persuade the admiral of the Fujian and Guangdong Navy or others, I won't stop you."

Ainizi's eyes were full of stars. She was so excited that she wanted to fly to the South China Sea immediately.

Madam Xuesang said, "Your Highness, Prince Wei, Erken now has more than 20,000 elite soldiers and controls Yining City. We can't lock his food. How can we defeat him now?"

"It can be seen that he is dormant for a long time. If he is given more time and he stands firm in Yili, you will have to let Azati and Huojia transfer troops from other places, but... do you dare to take this risk?"

Zhou Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yining is actually a dead city. You are not a fighter, so you can't see the details clearly."

"But you should at least know that Yining cannot stand on its own feet by relying on soldiers. I came here to recover peacefully, and the essence is to alleviate the pain after returning... I have such a problem, he AiErken didn't?"

"Just this pain is enough to make others lose their hearts and collapse their power."

Madam Xuesang said: "I heard from the people below that you seemed to say that you would take back Yining and defeat Erken in ten days?"

Zhou Yuan said: "The one who really defeated him may not be me, but himself."

He tapped the table lightly and said in a deep voice: "You are a civil and military minister, an official and aristocrat. When the Khan and the two princes who have long held real power escaped, would you recognize this ninth prince who has just recovered from a long illness?"

"Even if he has more than 20,000 troops, this is enough to make people surrender, but can it make people loyal?"

"Once other news comes out, countless holes will appear around Erken, and each one is enough to kill him."

Madam Xuesang said: "As long as there are soldiers, he can plug these holes."

Zhou Yuan said: "Soldiers are not people? Those generals are not people? They have no family? No position? They can't evaluate the situation to make a choice? ”

“My subordinates and I are as close as brothers, and the officials of the court regard me as a saint, but without strict rules and restrictions, they will change sooner or later.”

“It is impossible to consolidate the political fortress by relying on human nature.”

He laughed and squinted his eyes and said, “Believe it or not, at the latest tomorrow morning, a large number of spies will leave Yining City and go east.”

“They will take Erken’s handwritten letter to the generals in various camps.”

“He will strive for the attitude of every important general, make rare promises, and even distort the facts to induce the generals to lean towards him.”

“But...his people can’t get through, this is the point.”

“Zhang Fei will lead the masters to stop all the spies who want to run east.”

“That’s our breakthrough point.”

As soon as the voice fell, Guan Lu’s voice suddenly sounded outside.

“My lord, there is a letter, just arrived. "

Zhou Yuan's expression became solemn. In this situation, the divine bird was able to take great risks to deliver the letter, which meant that the letter was very important.

He immediately walked out and took a look at the letter. He saw the words "Personally from His Royal Highness the King of Jin" written on the cover. It was a note he had never seen before.

But it can be seen that the handwriting is very immature, as if he had just learned Chinese characters not long ago and was just trying his best to maintain neatness, and it was not yet at a high level.

A line of small words in the lower left corner gave the sender.

"The Portuguese Minister of Foreign Trade - Kolodia."
