Chapter 365 Just a reminder for my mentor back then
Xie Yu was silent.

Of course he thought about it.

Lin Fan asked again: "The eldest princess betrayed the emperor, never Da Zhou."

Involuntarily, Xie Yu clenched his hand in his sleeve tightly.

Xie Yu had heard of many deeds of the eldest princess, but the only time he really dealt with her was the previous one.

The eldest princess took them to the ruined temple on the mountain in Chunxian County, and after throwing a few words, she turned around and went back to Qiyang City.

Xie Yu saw how tricky and picky this Highness was, but he also knew that those tempers were not aimed at him.

At that time, Yang Xingren complained to him in private.

Most likely, the eldest princess was very dissatisfied with the emperor. Fortunately, she still thought of the empress dowager.

Now it seems that the dissatisfaction with the emperor is real, but the empress dowager's kindness is pretended, the purpose is only the contents of the letter in Xie Yu's hand.

Princess Pingyang wants to wipe out the emperor and the Yan family.

But will she subvert Da Zhou?

impossible.

The eldest princess didn't look like a woman with ambitions like the Emperor Wu.

Then, the answer to Lin Fan's question is already clear.

In the heart of the eldest princess, the emperor is not suitable to sit on the dragon chair. In her opinion, Da Zhou has a more suitable emperor.

However, Xie Yu racked his brains to think about it, but he didn't think of the identity of "that person".

He sighed.

If you don't want to, you might as well ask Duke Ding directly.

Since Lin Fan begged him, he should have told the truth.

"After Qing Jun's side, the eldest princess hopes..." Xie Yu suddenly paused again when the words came to his lips. Almost instantly, he remembered the article that was stopped by Lin Xuan, and then, his thoughts were always foggy. So there is a new angle.

Surprised, uneasy, and a sense of solidity like a stone falling to the ground.

He knew he was headed in the right direction.

Taking a steady breath, Xie Yu changed the subject and asked Lin Fan, "Do you know which article my mentor commented on when I first met him?"

This question really caught Lin Fan.

"I don't know," he honestly shook his head, begging to ask, "I hope your lord can explain in detail."

Xie Yu said: "During the reign of Emperor Xian, King Wu personally conquered the two prefectures and six prefectures in the south, which were good and bad for the imperial court."

Now, it was Lin Fan's turn to be stunned.

He never imagined that Xie Yu had ever written such an article.

With Xie Yu's literary name, all kinds of articles he wrote when he was studying in the academy have been dug out, not to mention that each article is widely praised, but there will be some splashes to some extent.

"I've never heard of it," Lin Fan said. "Not to mention the content of the article, it's just the topic of policy. I've never seen anyone mention it."

Xie Yu smiled, and told Lin Fan exactly what happened back then.

In the end, he said: "At that time, I was very puzzled and unwilling, why the article I wrote with great care was so...

A few years later, I asked my mentor, but he didn't give an answer.

Today, I think, I can more or less perceive the deep meaning of some mentors. "

In that personal expedition, King Wu was in command, and the commander of the three armies who cooperated with him was Lin Xuan himself.

Judging from Lin Xuan's guidance on his article, Lin Xuan agrees with the results of the Southern Expedition, and also understands that the benefits of the results outweigh the disadvantages for the Great Zhou. Lin Xuan is satisfied with the victory that year.

With such a careful and serious analysis first, there is no doubt that the article did not touch Lin Xuan's Achilles heel.

Since it is not the mentor who is unwilling to discuss it widely, then who is the unwilling person?

It is the emperor.

It is precisely because Xie Yu's article will touch the Emperor's Ni Lin, Lin Xuan can give him advice, but he will not let him spread it.

In Lin Xuan's view, Xie Yu is a useful talent of Da Zhou, and he shouldn't ruin his future because of this article.

"Your Majesty and King Wu, this pair of brothers is not as harmonious as the outside world thinks, and this is why the Eldest Princess wants to attack the Emperor and the Yan family." Xie Yu thought for a while, and said, "I seem to have heard of it before. , when King Wu passed away, Concubine Wu was pregnant, but she just disappeared..."

After all, it was a rumor before he became an official, even if Xie Yu heard about it, he didn't break the casserole.

What's more, after the emperor ascended the throne, the Great Zhou was booming, who would mention Wu Wang's posthumous son who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman?

Until today, it was deduced in the dialogue that I could get a glimpse of it.

Seeing Lin Fan nod his head, Xie Yu knew that his guess was right, and he asked again: "Which His Highness is in the hands of the Eldest Princess?"

Now, Lin Fan chuckled lightly.

"Thank you, sir," Lin Fan said word by word, "he is in front of you."

Clang.

Xie Yu almost knocked over the teacup beside him.

Lin Fan had sharp eyes and quick hands, and supported him.

Xie Yu didn't care about the teacup, he looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.

He wanted to say that even for the sake of raising troops, one shouldn't tell such a big lie.

But deep in his heart, he knew better that this was not a lie.

Will a son taught by a mentor recognize someone else as his father?
"You..." Xie Yu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a while, he finally said, "You are so open and honest, don't you worry that I will catch you and betray you?"

"Not afraid," Lin Fan answered him in Xie Yu's way, "I also know myself. If I really want to leave, Mr. Xie's government and state will not be able to keep me. And, now, those who are most afraid of the whole world knowing my identity should It's the emperor."

This moment, that moment.

When Marquis Anbei and General Feng were still traveling with them, Lin Fan and Marquis Yongning had to be very cautious.

But now, those two have led the troops back to the capital first, out of the dilemma, Lin Fan has much less worries here.

In contrast, the emperor's troubles had only just begun.

"Master Xie's family is in the city, and his relatives are in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the capital," Lin Fan said calmly, "It is to write a letter to crusade against the Yan family, so that the Marquis of Yongning and I can lead our troops through Guanzhou smoothly. Mansion, or when I send troops, my lord will personally lead the government soldiers to stop me?"

Yes.

In addition to a proclamation that can spread throughout the world, another reason why Lin Fan sought Xie Yu was to pass through Guanzhou.

At the beginning of the year, in the residence of the Marquis of Yongning, Lin Fan and Marquis of Yongning envisioned a quick battle.

The army was not blocked by the state capitals along the way, and was able to reach the foot of the capital smoothly without dragging other Dazhou lands into the flames of war, minimizing the impact of the succession of the throne.

Now, they have successfully walked from Feimenguan to Qiyang.

And Qiyang Mansion faces east, does not pass through Chenjiang Mansion, and enters Guanzhou by relying on the bordering river.

If Xie Yu lets go, the army will leave Guanzhou and get closer to Gyeonggi.

Can be closer, as close as possible.

After hearing this, Xie Yu raised his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows with his knuckles.

Then, he took out the letter again and read the contents of it twice.

It's not about changing dynasties, but about changing uncles for nephews.

It's not that this action is so just, but Yan's family has acted like this before, Xie Yu can't say that, he believes that the emperor can handle this turmoil with the empress dowager and relatives well.

Xie Yu stood up abruptly, and opened the door of the private room.

Lin Fan didn't stop him.

"Xiao Er," Xie Yu called, and when someone came, he said, "Lend me a study room."

Xiaoer agreed and went to do it immediately. When it was delivered, he said embarrassedly: "The study room used by our master bookkeeper is not a good pen or ink, adults will just use it."

Xie Yu thanked him and closed the door again.

Spread pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, Lin Fan poured water to grind the ink, Xie Yu walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back.

Finally, he went to the table.

Not for anything else.

Others think clearly about this, and then blur that.

That being the case, it is only a reminder for my teacher back then, and the teachings of the next few years.

Putting pen to paper becomes an article.
