"One hundred thousand?"

A voice of astonishment resounded in the silent chamber.

Looking at the red-robed eunuch before, Xu Yuan's eyes were a little dignified:

"Wang Gonggong, there is no joke in this matter, can the number of 100,000 be authentic?"

Wang Lingchi's tone was not disturbed at all:

"Naturally, it is true. This information was sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself. If the Third Young Master does not believe it, you can use the communication wafer underground in Mingxiang Garden to contact Di'an City."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately smiled and shook his head:

"You don't need to bother with the communication wafer. After this trip, I will confirm with the people in the mansion."

He doesn't know how to use arrays, so who knows if there is a sound array for monitoring the communication wafers in this place.

You must know that Lou Ji's poisonous old aunt has done such monitoring things before.

pause for a moment,

Xu Yuan knocked on the table in front of him, and glanced sideways at the woman in white beside him:

"Qing Yan, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Qingyan thought for a while, looked back and smiled, with a smile on his lips and teeth:

"How can I look at it? Isn't this just sitting and watching."

Seeing the casual appearance of this bad woman, Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, but seeing that the other party was so calm, he probably knew that there should be a gap in the other party's heart at this time, and said with a smile:

"One hundred thousand people, are you not panicking at all?"

"Ah"

Li Qingyan chuckled, and did not immediately answer Xu Yuan's question, but turned to look at the red-clothed eunuch opposite, and asked:

"I know about this matter. What message does His Royal Highness want you to tell me?"

The title has changed, and it is called His Royal Highness the Prince, not the eldest brother.

The slight change in address made Wang Lingchi's eyes flicker for a moment.

Although the title of prince seems a bit unfamiliar, it also recognizes the status of equal transactions between the two parties.

Thinking up to this point, Wang Lingchi glanced at Xu Yuan at the side.

Xu Yuan met his eyes, smiled at him, and sat grinningly, showing no intention of leaving.

Li Qingyan didn't have the slightest intention of saying anything to drive people away, but just waited quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Ling slowly bowed and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to tell His Royal Highness the Princess that the soldiers recruited by the Second Highness are all members of the sect, and that His Highness the Princess is brave and good at fighting will be a thorn in his eyes."

Li Qingyan nodded when he heard the words, with a graceful demeanor:

"You just said that."

Wang Ling slowly raised his lowered eyes, and his soft voice was slightly gloomy:

"Your Highness, the enmity between you and the Second Highness should be irresolvable, if he is allowed to gain power, it may be difficult to shake his position after the Northern Territory.

"Although the number of 100,000 is large, the Second Highness is negligent in battle and doesn't understand military affairs. Our family is willing to provide the princess with all possible help."

The voice fell, and the secret room was silent.

The look in Xu Yuan's eyes was slightly playful.

The words of the eunuch in red were quite straightforward.

Now the current emperor has a faint intention to support the second prince, and when he returns to the imperial court after he has made military achievements, he will surely be at the peak of his power.

In case it is enacted in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, you will not be able to escape Wu Yuan in the future.

But since His Royal Highness Wu Yuan and the third prince of Xiangfu can both be assassinated, the second prince can also be assassinated.

If things like marching are defeated, wouldn't it be reasonable to kill a coach and prince suddenly?

A gleam flashed in Li Qingyan's eyes, without refusing or agreeing, he said softly:

"Li Zhaoyuan led the army into the northern border, it should be his father's intention."

As she spoke, she paused and said softly:

"But I know about this, is there anything else?"

Unable to get an answer, Wang Lingchi sighed in his heart.

He remembered what the prince said to him in the communication wafer before this:

[Ling Chi, the father is approaching the twilight years, and the holy will is unpredictable. Although this move seems to support the second brother, the second brother may also be his abandoned son.

【You don't need to be too eager for quick success in this trip. With Qingyan's temperament, it is impossible to agree directly. As long as you save her life, she will stand by Gu's side sooner or later.】

Thinking of this, Wang Lingchi straightened his sleeves and bowed deeply:

"Return to Your Highness, there is no other matter."

"Then go down."

Li Qingyan raised a slender index finger and pointed towards the door: "I still have something to discuss with Chang Tian here."

Wang Lingchi lowered his head, his voice soft:

"His Royal Highness Wu Yuan, our family will stay here in Mingxiang Garden for a few days, and we will be notified anytime if necessary."

"knew."

"I wish Your Highness a prosperous trip to the northern border."

After all,

According to court etiquette, Wang Lingchi stepped back a few steps with his head bowed towards Li Qingyan, before turning around and leaving.

"."

With the departure of the great eunuch in red, only Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan were left in the secret room for a while, oh no, there was also Luo Xiran.

Glancing at the indifferent and stunning woman beside him, Xu Yuan asked softly:

"How, are you ready to cooperate?"

Li Qingyan lowered his eyes and lightly tapped the table. Instead of answering, he asked instead:

"Changtian, what do you think of my father's actions this time?"

Xu Yuan laughed without thinking:

"At this juncture, there are four meanings to doing this kind of thing."

"Four?"

Li Qingyan took a deep look at Xu Yuan and smiled sweetly:

"Oh, my dude son-in-law actually reacted like this? Tell me about it?"

Xu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, and he said in a low voice:

"First, father really wants to support Li Zhaoyuan, but I think that father's support of Li Zhaoyuan is probably a kind of bet."

Li Qingyan raised her black eyebrows, her smooth red lips parted slightly:

"On gambling?"

Xu Yuan's voice was soft and slow:

"Although I don't want to admit it, Li Zhaoyuan's methods in the city government are all like dragons and phoenixes. If I were your father, it would be a lie if I said I was not moved.

"However, you also know that his background is not good. Well, compared with the mother and queen of your three brothers and sisters, his mother and concubine were originally a court lady, and the difficulty for a concubine to become a prince is basically the same as that of my fourth sister.

"Your elder brother has been in charge of the country for more than ten years, and he has been diligent in governing the country for more than ten years. Apart from the Xiangdang, the princelings are the most arrogant in the court.

"The court has been sealed all the way, Li Zhaoyuan can only find another way."

Li Qingyan leaned gently on the back of the chair behind him, a pair of long legs under the white robe intertwined and raised Erlang's legs:

"So, he can only pass the military power."

"right."

Xu Yuan nodded, staring at Li Qingyan's beautiful eyes that seemed to be hiding stars, as if pointing:

"Any regime that is not supported by soldiers and guns is a fiction."

Li Qingyan touched his white and smooth jaw unmoved:

"When you say that, it seems that my elder brother is very stupid."

"No, no, your elder brother is not stupid, on the contrary he is very smart."

Xu Yuan shook his head, with a hint of amusement in his tone:

"The position is completely different, so naturally we can't use the same method to compete for the ninth-five position. The crown prince has supervised the country for so long, and the power is already in his hands. In addition, your third brother's royal chamber of commerce.

"Well, if we are going to touch the military power today, I guess Dayan will have to change the crown prince tomorrow.

"Your elder brother doesn't need it at all. As long as there are no major accidents, with his more than ten years of experience in the government, when our father dies, he will naturally be able to take over."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed brightly:

"But Li Zhaoyuan is different. If he wants to climb up, he can only rely on his life. Your father's move may be a test for Li Zhaoyuan to put his head on.

"Within the time limit of this trip to the Northern Territory, if Li Zhaoyuan has the means to use the one hundred thousand troops he borrowed from the clan alliance for himself, and bring these direct descendants back to the court, then he will be considered to have entered the finals for the succession."

Li Qingyan pondered a little, then said softly:

"Chang Tian, ​​your guess is a bit wrong.

"It's not an easy task to reorganize the army. The imperial court and the Zongmen's grassroots have different organizational systems, and the military formations they build are also different. What's more, those soldiers are loyal to the Zongmen."

"I know it's difficult."

Xu Yuan's face remained unchanged, but he just said in a low voice: "The difficulty is the difficulty. Qing Yan, you can answer me a question. Is this method feasible?"

"."

look at each other for a moment,

Li Qingyan exhaled lightly, and then spit out a word:

"have."

After a moment's pause, Li Qingyan lowered his eyes to think, and said in a low voice:

"...but it was really hard.

"Long Tian, ​​the military is actually a place where collective military style is used to obliterate individual individuality. An army with combat effectiveness will have its own military style, whether it is camaraderie, or faith loyalty, or binding interests.

"Once the military style is formed, it is difficult to change it. If Li Zhaoyuan wants to take this army from the sect for his own use, then he has to rectify the military style of the entire army."

"I can only think of two ways to do this quickly."

"First, replace all the non-commissioned officers and generals at the grassroots level with your own people, and second, have an army of the same size or even larger, and divide it into pieces.

"But these two points are not possessed by Li Zhaoyuan."

After all,

Li Qingyan raised his eyes solemnly to look at the man in front of him, but he met his smiling eyes.

Meeting her gaze, Xu Yuan leisurely said:

"This problem is indeed difficult to solve, but we are not the ones who solve it, so what are you worrying about?

"Qing Yan,

"If Li Zhaoyuan wants to climb into the clouds, he must first go to hell, and then climb out of it step by step."

Li Qingyan pondered for a while and asked:

"Then what if Li Zhaoyuan really crawled out of hell?"

Xu Yuan grinned brightly, and said softly:

"Kick him back."

"."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan gave him a blank look:

"Virtue.

"Then what is the second intention of the father?"

Xu Yuan spread his hands and laughed in a low voice:

"Treat Li Zhaoyuan as an abandoned son."

Li Qingyan's reaction was quick, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice:

"You mean to say that father not only wants to destroy the sects of the three continents in the north, but also eats up the elites of the two towns of the clan alliance?"

Xu Yuan leaned lazily on the back of the chair behind him, resting his chin, thoughtfully:

"A 100,000 army formation is a huge number, but it's actually not that many in today's northern border.

"You two towns of Yulin Army, Zong Qingsheng and Yuan Hao's towns of Black Scale Army staying in Guangyang Mansion, plus your Uncle Mu's Beifeng Army, the 100,000 elite Zongmen is really not too many.

"Under the blizzard and natural disaster, it is actually not impossible to be defeated by the "barbarians joining the army"."

"Papa. Papa."

Li Qingyan smiled lightly and applauded, and said in a low voice:

"Chang Tian, ​​your analysis makes some sense. As for the third and fourth intentions?"

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan didn't speak any more, but just quietly looked at her pair of astonishing phoenix eyes.

staring at each other without saying a word,

Li Qingyan narrowed her beautiful eyes:

"Changtian, what do you want to say...my father's third and fourth intentions are to target your Xiangfu? But I don't think my father should be such a short-sighted person."

It is self-evident what the Zongmen wants to do by sending this number of troops into the northern border at this time.

They want to give hope to the sects of the three continents in the north, let them resist in the end, and then completely destroy the three continents in the north, leaving ruins for the court.

This time the layout for the northern border consumed countless manpower and material resources of the Great Yan court.

Now that the barbarians have been exterminated, the northern sects with their best elites are waiting to be slaughtered.

At this moment when the sects in the northern border can immediately rob resources to restore their depleted vitality, an internal struggle between the royal family and the prime minister's mansion will start?

This is a complete failure.

The conflict between the Black Scale Army and the Royal Army would definitely allow the Clan Alliance to succeed.

"."

Seeing that the other party said it directly, Xu Yuan sat up straight and said with a smile:

"It's just a guess,

"Borrowing the sect's sword to kill the people in my Xiangfu, and then abandoning a prince who should have died as an excuse, laying the blame on Li Zhaoyuan and the Zongmeng. It not only consumed the strength of the Zongmen, but also caused my Xiangfu to lose its manpower."

With that said, Xu Yuan began to snap his fingers:

"And that's just one of the benefits of doing it.

"After the Zongmeng and our Xiangfu merged, the threat of the Zongmeng in the northern border disappeared, and the sect inventory in the three continents of the northern border became the court's pocket.

"And our Prime Minister's Mansion will inevitably suffer damage after this battle with the Black Scale Army in the Northern Territory. In the case of insufficient troops, the amount of resources that can receive the northern sects will naturally decrease. This will ebb and flow. If my Prime Minister's Mansion is less, your royal family will naturally have more resources."

"Chang Tian, ​​all your guesses are based on Xu Xiang's patience."

Speaking of this, Li Qingyan suddenly interrupted Xu Yuan with a low tone: "If my father does this, what if Mr. Xu turns against him?"

"."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Now that the words have been spoken, he has no more scruples, and chuckles lightly, but the smile is a little ironic:

"It is impossible for my father to rebel. Your royal father predicted that my father would not rebel at this time, so he may do so."

Perhaps the emperor had forgotten the ideals of the year, but the father did not.

If you fight, there will be no hope of realizing your ideals.

Ren, when you die and I integrate the power of the imperial court, the number of days will be uncertain.

Therefore, that father would never choose to fight in battle.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan stared at the woman in front of him with burning eyes:

"Qing Yan, you should also know that your father's time is probably numbered. As an emperor with the ambition of rejuvenation, he must think about your Dayan royal family when he is dying, at least not let the Dayan royal family end in his generation, oh no, in the generation below him.

"For this, he can do anything, because this is his responsibility as the Li Tian family."

"."

The words fell silent,

She looks at him.

a long time.

"responsibility?"

She murmured something like a smile, then slowly stood up and walked towards the door, her steps were very light and her voice was very low:

"Maybe, but before the sect is destroyed, as long as the palace is not dead for a day, it will never sit back and watch the court fight."

Xu Yuan looked at the back of the white-clothed figure, half-closed his eyes:

"Then what if your father insists on doing this?"

"clatter"

The footsteps stopped, and the pale inscription lamp in the room shone on her as-washed white robe.

silence for a while,

With a chuckle, Li Qingyan slowly looked back at him, his tone was indifferent, soft and gentle:

"Then it's up to Ben Gong to correct his mistakes."
