old friends return

In the private room by the window on the second floor of Zuixiang Pavilion, it was Liu Qingyan who was sitting.

The weather in early April was not too hot yet, and the wine served in the store was deliberately warmed. Liu Qingyan drank the wine one after another, and looked out the window.

Beside the window are pear blossoms in full bloom, with big clusters clustered on the branches, the white and tender flowers are very pleasing to look at.

Pear blossoms have thoughts and leaves, and Yishu Jiangtou is annoyed to kill the king.

Liu Qingyan suddenly thought of these two poems.

This poem was read to him by Cheng Muzhi earlier.Word by word whispered softly in his ear, with some lingering meaning.

Ever been annoyed by pear blossoms?It's just people worrying about themselves.

Liu Qingyan glanced at the sky again, thinking that it was clearly your own time, why did it come so late?If it wasn't for the military power in your hands, would I really be willing to wait for you here?

It doesn't matter if you come late on purpose to get off the horse, or you are really late because you are delayed by something, Liu Qingyan, who had been sitting all afternoon, sat there and continued to wait.

He raised his eyes and looked out of the window, and saw Li Xiu rushing over in a hurry, it didn't seem like he did it on purpose.

Not long after, the wooden door of the private room was gently pushed open.Li Xiu, who had just stepped in, cupped her hands and said to Liu Qing: "Suddenly there was an urgent matter at home that was delayed, and I made you wait for a long time. Please forgive me."

Liu Qingyan nodded, "Mr. Li, please sit down and rest for a while."

He got up and closed the window, and finally separated the sight that had been staring at him.

Liu Qingyan glanced at him, saw that although his head was covered with sweat, he still couldn't hide the joy in the corners of his eyes and brows, and then remembered his family's recent situation, and said, "I'd like to congratulate Mr. Li first."

Li Xiu nodded, her expression on a face that wanted to be happy but had to hide was slightly distorted, and finally stood up again, bowing to Liu Qingyan, "Thank you, my lord."

Having a child in old age is a great blessing in life, how can he be unhappy!

I was speechless for a moment.The two drank tea for another minute before they started talking about business.

Liu Qingyan asked him at the beginning: "I don't know what the sincerity that the eldest prince said is what?"

Straight to the point.

Li Xiu also stopped beating around the bush, "Shangshu Yan, I have ordered His Highness to discuss these things with you. Naturally, we must exchange the smallest things for the greatest benefits."

"That's right," Liu Qingyan nodded, "Mr. Li's ancestors were in business? So careful and careful."

Li Xiu ignored his joking words, and continued: "I know what Yan Shangshu wants, but it's too hasty to hand over this military power to someone who doesn't know him well."

"What's more, Yan Shangshu should also know that His Royal Highness does not have any other military power in his hands. He is just learning something from the commander-in-chief of the Guards Army. You want military power, but the military power in our hands is too real. It’s hard to come by.”

"Furthermore," Li Xiu paused, "It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that you are asking for a bargaining chip with us, and I haven't seen any promises from you to us."

"Oh," Liu Qingyan smiled slightly, "Mr. Li, you have to figure out one thing first. Now you are asking for me, and I am not here to seek your cooperation. Who has the initiative? Mr. is a sensible person, so I don't think you need to." I said."

"What's more, what the eldest prince wants is not a matter of a piece of land or a city. Everyone in the world wants to touch that position. I stand on the same line with you, and there is a risk in the first place. Who knows who will end up in the end?" win?"

"But everyone has ambitions." Liu Qingyan looked at Li Xiu, "I want military power not only to make myself feel at ease, but also to save my life."

"If things come to fruition, then you and I are both heroes, so we will naturally enjoy inexhaustible glory and wealth, but how did the eldest prince come to this position, will he allow others to know?"

Li Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

Between the monarch and his ministers, they can only share weal and woe forever.

"If things fail, the result..." Liu Qingyan took a deep look at Li Xiu.

This game of chess has just begun.

Li Xiu is still on the periphery, surrounded by sunspots on three sides, and there is only a very narrow path left.

"Yan Shangshu, although I am only a staff member beside His Royal Highness, but I have been with His Highness for many years, and my words are more or less useful. If I am determined not to hand over the military power to you, Your Highness may not waver in cooperating with you."

The implication is to find an alliance with others.

Bai Zi had no way out.

Liu Qingyan laughed softly, with three points of relief, two points of disdain, and five points of understanding in this laughter, "Mr. Li is really focused on the main thing!"

"Since this is the case, it seems that I am too eager for quick success if I try to force it. How about this, sir, go back and tell His Highness that if this is done, I will have one person as a prime minister, and another three points in the world. Is it possible?"

Li Xiu's heart was shocked, this Yan Qing's ambition is not insignificant.

The world is divided into three parts, and one person is the prime minister. To be a prince of one party, one must also have power in the government and the opposition.

But these are all empty words. Li Xiu was just about to agree, but Liu Qingyan added another sentence after that sentence, "Oh, by the way, at that time, His Highness will not have military power, right? Can the tiger talisman be used by then?" Leave it to me to play for a few days?"

Li Xiu just felt that talking to this person was really tiring, not to mention that he said before that he didn't want these empty promises, and he had to grasp these things before he was willing to do things, why now...

Li Xiu only felt that she was surrounded by this person.

On the other hand, Liu Qingyan seemed to want to get up and leave.Li Xiu hurriedly said: "Since Shangshu Yan has already said so, if this matter still fails to be negotiated, it is also my fault, and I will inevitably be punished by His Highness when I go back. Then this matter is settled like this?"

Liu Qingyan nodded, "Go back and find the eldest prince to write a note and stamp it, so that you won't forget it later." In one sentence, it seemed like a serious reminder and also a joke.

Liu Qingyan opened the door, just walked out, then turned around and said, "If the young master can grow up safely and happily, with a father like you, he will have a bright future."

Liu Xiu frowned slightly. Are these words threatening him?

Li Xiu straightened her thoughts, got up and walked out.After all, Yan Qing still didn't seem to get anything, so they didn't look like they were at a disadvantage.

As for the future, it seems that it is not his turn to worry about it.

Liu Qingyan left the Zuixiang Pavilion, reflexively looked at the second floor of the opposite restaurant, but saw nothing.Cheng Muzhi seemed to be leaving first.

Shengjing's night market has just become lively at this time.

Liu Qingyan wasn't in the mood to go shopping either, the night was chilly, not to mention that when he thought of the night market in Shengjing, he first thought of Cheng Muzhi's smiling face.

Liu Qingyan returned to the mansion with the cold air all over his body. Yuan Bao wanted to come up to wait for him to take a bath, but he just waved his hand to let him back down. He was really tired.

Cheng Muze is not smart, but Li Xiu who is by his side is a sensible person.

The dragon fights in the wild...can't escape.

Pushing open the door, Liu Qingyan suddenly felt an aura that didn't belong here, turned around and was about to exit, but someone had already pulled him over, even covering his mouth.

Liu Qingyan slowly pushed back the dagger in his cuff.
