Chapter 213 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 16
The plot of the hero and heroine went on like flowing water. At the beginning of March, Yan Ying's grandfather Yan Heng fainted during the court and was carried back by the guards.
After the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, he said that Taifu Yan was too old, and he was suffering from tuberculosis, and he was too worried, so he had to take good care of him. A bunch of herbal supplements.
The old head of the Yan Mansion was seriously ill, and it was paid off. All the younger generations in the mansion stayed outside the grandfather's yard. The married eldest sister, second sister, and two aunts all came back to their parents' house in a hurry after hearing the news.
Cangbai Courtyard, Yan's father, second uncle, third uncle, including several elder brothers were all kicked out by the Taifu.
Yan Liang silently walked in front of Yan Ying and said in a low voice, "Sister, grandfather called you in."
After hearing this, Yan Ying was puzzled for a moment, then raised her feet and walked towards the inner room. As soon as she entered the room, the heat wave hit her face. There were braziers in the four corners of the room, and there was only a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
An old man with a kind face and kind eyes was lying on the big dark blue bed. Yan Ying walked over and called: "Grandfather"
Yan Heng opened his cloudy eyes, and smiled when he saw Yan Ying: "It's the third girl, sit in front of grandfather."
Yan Ying moved the small stool and sat obediently by his bed, when the old man on the bed recalled: "When you were born as a small child, you were made a princess. Your grandmother was afraid that you would not be able to suppress this If you are blessed, you will eat fast and chant Buddha, and worry about it every day.”
"The old man still remembers when you were six years old, you entered the family school for the first time. The third girl was smart, and she was good at reading and writing. She was smarter than your brothers. At that time, your second uncle felt sorry for you. You are obviously a good candidate for the imperial examination. Why? into a daughter's womb"
Thinking of the original owner's incident in the school, Yan Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandfather, I'm not as good as you said, you said I was a monkey boy back then."
The old matriarch laughed twice, and then said: "You are intelligent, kind, magnanimous, and have outstanding talents and learning. You are well-deserved as the crown princess. We all know that you are an excellent girl, but why?"
Yan Ying suddenly looked at him puzzled: "Grandfather, why, I don't understand?"
Seeing her pretending to be stupid, Yan Heng's eyes could not help but become sharp. After all, she is someone who has been immersed in officialdom for half her life. With a straight face, her aura is scary enough: "There are only you, my grandparent and grandson here, let me ask you, What on earth are you going to do?
Yan Ying lowered her eyes, carefully thinking about where did she miss the show?Then he raised his head and said innocently: "The granddaughter just saved a few people, what does grandfather think I am going to do?
Yan Heng is an old fox who has become a master. Yan Ying's two small actions did not escape his eyes: "Don't avoid the serious and take the light, you are going to turn the world upside down, can't the old man ask?"
Yan Ying put away the disguise on her face, and said calmly, "Grandfather knows?"
Yan Heng looked at the most well-behaved and lovely granddaughter on weekdays and said incredulously: "Recently, there has been a famous gentleman religion among the people. I sent someone to check it out. I never thought that this old man has something to do with my most beloved granddaughter."
"You gave En Luobai, and then asked him to donate clothes and dispense medicine to the people, and recruit beggars and refugees from all over the world. At first, the old man thought that you were kind-hearted and doing good deeds, but after careful investigation, he was surprised to find that you even sent someone to After leaving the frontier, you have placed people in the army. The maid Yun Lu by your side has been in close contact with the eunuchs who came out of the palace. Following this line of investigation, it turns out that you are involved in what happened in the palace recently "
"Old man, the more I think about it, the more something is wrong. Third girl, tell your grandfather honestly, what exactly are you trying to do with all this?"
Yan Ying looked up at him seriously and said, "Emperor Daliang is unkind and unrighteous. He played with power and tricks to make his loyal officials renounced. Grandfather, I don't believe you can't see that the Zhou family is loyal and has guarded the frontier for generations. His Majesty can clearly take back the military power with a single edict. But he chose to cooperate with Beirong, framed Zhongliang, and caused the death of [-] innocent soldiers on the frontier. Such an emperor is disappointing and frightening."
Yan Heng's expression gradually changed: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven—"
Yan Ying sneered: "The emperor sits in the world, he should be good at governing benevolently, know people and use them well, have great talents, and don't care about trivial matters. Only in this way can he be respected by all officials and attached to all people. But our Majesty is narrow-minded. Just pay attention to this small fly in front of him, if there is even a little threat to him, he will secretly try to get rid of it."
"Wen Yan Wu Zhou, with dead lips and cold teeth, the Zhou family's today is my Yan family's tomorrow"
"Grandfather, how important is the princess concubine, but I have been crowned princess three times. To put it bluntly, I am a woman who has killed two fiancés. Isn't the royal family taboo? The emperor's goal is clearly aimed at the Yan family. He Want to kill, but not allow me to fight back?
Yan Heng patted the bed under him vigorously, not daring to say anything: "You, you, a thief, you are a big treason—"
Facing her grandfather's accusation, Yan Ying's expression remained unchanged, and she asked instead: "Grandfather, do you want to see the thousand-year-old foundation of my Yan family destroyed?"
"Pa—" There was a big slap mark on half of the girl's face.
Grandfather Yan said angrily: "Unfilial sons and grandchildren, who gave you the courage to gamble with my Yan family's future?"
"Do you know that once this matter gets out, the old man will not be able to protect the Yan clan, let alone you. Rebellion is a serious crime to wipe out the nine clans."
"How dare you, how dare you—"
"You, get out of here and kneel outside, when will you kneel sober, and when will you get up again?"
Yan Ying went out and knelt at the door of the room. Hearing the coughing sound coming from inside, apart from worrying about her grandfather's body, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
When facing Yan Heng's questioning just now, she seemed to be able to cope with it freely, but in fact, her palms were sweating.
Yan Ying thought of many possibilities. For example, the worst is that Grandpa Yan is a very loyal and patriotic person, or in order to protect the Yan family, he is likely to kill herself before anyone finds out. Unknowingly let her disappear, or imprison her.
There is family affection in the gate of the mansion, but not much, especially because Grandfather Yan is an old man, Yan Ying never overestimates the indifference of human nature.
Children can give everything they have to love their parents, but it is more of a far-reaching consideration for parents to love their children.
The descendants are flourishing, without one or two unworthy children, the family is still there, but once the whole family is exterminated, the roots will be broken.
Isn't what Yan Ying is doing is the treasonous crime of causing the Yan family to be stabbed in the back by the world?
Grandfather could do something to her, but he didn't, which shows that his words hit his heart.
Yan Ying stared at the tree by the door and thought: She barely passed the test of her grandfather, and the next big gamble depends on how her grandfather weighs it.
It's like an entrepreneur stuck in a bottleneck period, standing still and walking, seemingly smooth, but if he is a little careless, the huge torrent hidden under the times will completely submerge him, and he will die without knowing how.
And when he continues to move forward bravely, he may be overturned by the storm, and if he fails, he will die more tragically, but if he survives a narrow escape and insists on succeeding, the profits he will get are extremely rich.
For Yan Ying, the huge political group of the Yan family must be obtained no matter what.
Outside the yard, Yan Ying knelt for a whole day. The night was dark, she was tired and thirsty, and she felt that her legs were not her own.
In the room, Yan Heng stood at the window for a whole day, and he just quietly watched the three girl's straight back from beginning to end. This stubborn temperament is very similar to him when he was young.
He has been assimilated by the changes of this era, so what about the third girl?
"come in--"
With a smile on Yan Ying's face, she struggled to get up from the ground, and limped into the house: "Grandfather, you forgive me."
Yan Heng coughed twice: "Let's talk about your plan, the old man will decide how to deal with you bastard."
Yan Ying laughed, "I knew my grandfather couldn't bear to part with my clever granddaughter."
This narcissistic look is almost invisible, Yan Heng cut to the chase: "Do you think you alone can shake the country of Great Liang?"
Yan Ying knew that she had to go into details now, she dipped her hands in the tea, then drew a simple map of the girder on the table and said: "I can, grandfather, look, how many rivers and mountains are there in this girder?" part?"
Grandpa didn't talk, Yan Ying said to herself: "The ruler is the king, the managers are the subjects, and the social system formed by the common people"
"As far as I know, today's son was drugged by the empress, his body was damaged, and he will die soon. If the plan is right at this time, the power of the royal family will fall into the hands of one person."
Eunuch Jingming
"The courtiers are divided into civil servants and military generals. Our family has many civil servants who govern the world. I have arranged Feng Ye and others for the generals. Feng Ye has made military exploits and has become a small general. Now that the Zhou family has fallen, Feng Ye is The person who controls the power of the Zhou family army.
The more Yan Ying said, the more surprised Yan Heng was. His eyes were fixed on the seemingly random pause of the hand on the map, but every sentence hit the point.
Yan Ying frowned and said, "There is only Luo Bai among the common people, but there is still a large shortage of manpower. Grandfather, I need the support of my family."
Yan Heng watched as she casually paused on the map, dropping a piece. Each piece seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but there were several hidden threads that entangled them together. This force shrouded in the darkness of Daliang It seems inconspicuous.
But if the situation is turbulent one day in the future, when someone brings them together, this force will completely change the future.
This is an opportunity for the Yan family, and perhaps also the end of the Yan family.
Unknowingly, under my nose, the third granddaughter has grown into a heroic heart, which is really puzzling and gratifying.
Take a gamble?
Yan Heng looked at her and asked doubts in his heart: "How can you be sure that these people are used by you?"
Yan Ying's eyes became indifferent: "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. I can help them sit in that position, but if they are disobedient, then I can also pull them down and replace them with someone else."
Yan Heng stroked his beard and asked the last question: "If it's your father, your second uncle, your third uncle, your elder brothers, would they stop you from rebelling with their lives?"
Yan Ying looked at her grandfather with fierce eyes: "I have achieved great momentum, and I can't stop them from dying. Let's see if their heads are hard, or my sword is fast."
Yan Heng laughed heartily: "Hahaha, this is the posture of a hero. You are right. Except for the good boy, your father and brother are all a bunch of idiots. It's time to die."
Yan Ying looked at her grandfather speechlessly: Are you serious?
