There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 667: Get ready to tremble!
"Yan'er, what did you say?"

Emperor Chen's expression was no less shocking than that of King Tian, ​​Prince Li, the Sixteenth Prince, and others, or even more shocked than them, because Emperor Chen really knew this precious princess very well.

Chen Keyan was already prepared, and now she wasted no time in explaining the reasons given by Su Xian——

If Daliang is destroyed, Nanchen will definitely be adjacent to the Liao Kingdom!
The Liao Kingdom is so ambitious that Nan Chen must be the next target!
After explaining this reason, she saw that Emperor Chen's expression did not change at all, and she was not in a hurry, so she continued to add:
"Father, please think about it. Although Daliang is hateful and has never been on good terms with me, Dachen, it is undeniable that Daliang will not easily provoke disputes."

"On the other hand, the Liao Kingdom is very different. The Liao people are as ferocious as jackals. If Dachen is really adjacent to the Liao Kingdom, we will never live in peace in the future!"

"Although we have the divine thunder to control the country, the Liao people dare not invade easily, but they are always watching from outside. If something unexpected happens inside our Dachen... the consequences will be disastrous."

"..."

After hearing these words, Emperor Chen frowned, especially the last sentence, which reminded him of the princely dispute between King Li and King Tian.

"What Yan'er said makes sense!"

Emperor Chen thought for a while and gave Chen Keyan an appreciative look.

But then his face was full of hesitation and hesitation, and he sighed:

"Although what I say is reasonable, but... I, Da Chen, and all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, including me, don't have a good impression of Daliang... Besides..."

"..."

When Chen Keyan heard this, she was secretly anxious, not as confident as she was just now.

This time she entered the palace to meet the saint, not only did she bring good news like Xue Yan, but she also presented the facts and made sense, but the result was not satisfactory.

Do you want to live up to Su Xian's expectations?

Su Xian sent the poisonous lady all the way to see her and asked her for help, although he did not explicitly say what Su Xian would do if the matter failed.

However, if this "little thing" was not taken care of, Su Xian would definitely be disappointed with her.

That's it?Still want to fight for the throne of Nanchen and become the queen?
It's better to wash and sleep as soon as possible!

No!

Chen Keyan secretly clenched her fists, and said that she would do whatever it takes to deal with Emperor Chen today, make him change his mind, and help Su Xian complete this "little thing".

After silently strengthening her determination, she raised her eyes to look at Emperor Chen again. At this time, her bright eyes couldn't help but light up.

Because Emperor Chen had a hesitant look on his face and did not completely deny it!
Strike while the iron is hot!

Chen Keyan's spirit was shocked, and at the same time her soul was filled with happiness, and she asked without thinking:

"Father, although the national strength of the Liao Kingdom is not as good as that of Daliang and I, Dachen, their cavalry is very powerful, and they can sweep away the enemy wherever they go...Does your father agree with this?"

"Yes." Emperor Chen nodded.

Chen Keyan then said loudly:
"Faced with such a powerful fighting country, my father's national policy in the past was to 'diplomize far away and attack close', joining forces with the Liao Kingdom to put pressure on Daliang."

"But Father, please think about it, if Daliang is really destroyed and annexed by the Liao Kingdom, then the Liao Kingdom with strong military force will be our close neighbor!"

"Such a powerful country can only make friends from far away, not achieve success close to home. It is better to learn from my father!"

"..."

After hearing these words, Emperor Chen's expression suddenly changed.

I have to say, it touched his heart.

Chen Keyan analyzed it strategically, and the reasons were very good. Although Emperor Chen didn't like Daliang, he had to calm down and weigh it carefully.

Chen Keyan saw him frowning silently, lost in thought, holding her breath and concentrating, not daring to disturb him.

Whether this "little thing" can be done depends on now!

As time passed by, Emperor Chen's expression changed several times, sometimes hesitant, sometimes firm.

Chen Keyan's mood also fluctuated. She stared at Emperor Chen's face with her bright eyes, but she didn't dare to disturb him, and she couldn't help but become anxious in her heart.

Finally, Emperor Chen looked up at her with a determined expression.

Is Father finally going to make a decision... Chen Keyan hurriedly braced herself.

"I'm very curious. Didn't Yan'er dislike Daliang very much in the past? Why... did she speak for Daliang this time?" Chen Di's facial expression instantly turned suspicious.

Chen Keyan sighed silently in her heart when she heard this.

Then he steeled himself and came up with the words he had already thought of:

"Yes, my daughter does hate Daliang... But this matter has already touched upon the fundamental interests of me, Da Chen. My daughter is thinking about the overall situation and the stability of Da Chen."

"..."

Emperor Chen looked at her with burning eyes.

After a few breaths, he threw his head back and burst into laughter, and finally said with a smile: "Looking at the whole Da Chen, only my Yan'er truly thinks about Da Chen. I am very happy!"

Chen Keyan's expression relaxed slightly and she said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Father, for the compliment."

Emperor Chen had a determined expression and said loudly:

"After much thought, I feel that Yan'er's words make sense. Although Daliang is annoying, it is better than the Liao Kingdom, which looks at it like a leopard."

"Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, reaping the benefits of the fishermen, you can indeed get some benefits in the short term, but I'm afraid it will be doubled in the future!"

"For the long-term peace and stability of Da Chen, I decided... to adopt Yan'er's suggestion and cooperate with Da Liang to fight against the Liao Dynasty!"

"Father is wise!" Chen Keyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

After dealing with this "little matter", the two fathers and daughters chatted about other chores. Chen Keyan made her old father happy and comforted her, and she resigned from the palace after a long time.

After walking out of the palace and returning to the princess mansion, Chen Keyan immediately summoned her maid Jian'er, told her the story of her meeting with Emperor Chen, and ordered her to spread the word.

In order to achieve a certain effect, she took out a whole box of about fifty or sixty small porcelain bottles filled with snow salt, and ordered Jian'er to spread the news while also spreading the snow salt.

After Jian'er left, Chen Keyan turned around and faced the direction of the beam, with a fox-like smile on her delicate face like a fairy, and murmured:

"Master, Master, the cooperation between you and me is about to start to work."

Then she turned around, facing the direction of Prince Li's Mansion, with a contemptuous curve at the corner of her mouth, and said in a cold voice:

"The Queen's family, and King Li, next... get ready to be trembling!"

"..."

Jian'er is very efficient.

In a short period of time, the news of Chen Keyan's entry into the palace spread throughout the court, and all officials, both civil and military, knew about it.

Prince Li's Mansion.

Flower Hall.

The silk and bamboo are sweet to the ears, the dancers are dancing, the room is filled with spring, and the overwhelming sound penetrates people's ears uncontrollably.

But King Li turned a blind eye to the dancing girls with fragrant shoulders and pink legs. He concentrated on sitting at his desk and writing with a pen. To him, the lingering sounds seemed to be the sounds of mountains and flowing water, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Suddenly, a eunuch entered the flower hall, holding a whisk in his arms, and walked straight to King Li's desk with a little haste.

"Your Majesty, Princess Wu has left the palace." The eunuch lowered his voice and looked unhappy.

"Oh?" King Li didn't pause at all. He was still swiping his brush and ink. His face was calm and calm, and he asked casually: "Have you ever found out why Sanniang came to the palace?"

"I have heard about it, and it is spreading all over the streets. It is said that...Princess Wu has convinced His Majesty, and His Majesty has issued an order to agree to the proposal of the Daliang envoy to 'cooperate against the Liao Dynasty'."

Even though the eunuch had known about this before, he still looked incredulous when he told it now.

"Ok?"

Prince Li paused with the brush in his hand, slowly raised it, and hung it in mid-air. He looked at the eunuch and frowned and asked in a deep voice, "She actually convinced my father?! Are you sure this is true?"

"Reporting to the lord, this statement is true! The civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty should have heard of it. The servants and the father-in-law in the palace had secretly communicated, and they got a positive answer." The eunuch said.

King Li frowned with thick eyebrows and looked suspicious. He slowly placed the brush on the pen holder, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and murmured in a low voice:

"This is really weird! First of all, Sanniang has always disliked Daliang, but this time she helped Daliang speak up. For this reason, she did not hesitate to return from Suzhou and enter the palace to see my father."

"Secondly, I didn't expect that my father actually agreed! How strange! Even though my father likes Sanniang, he can't change his mind and agree to the proposal of the Daliang envoy."

"Why is Sanniang acting abnormal this time? How did she convince my father? There must be a conspiracy in this! I must find out!"

"..."

The eunuch turned his body, always facing King Li, put his hand into his pocket and took out a small porcelain bottle, and said with a calm face:
"Your Majesty, the reason why Princess Wu persuaded Your Majesty may be related to this thing."

"What is this?"

"It is said to be called...snow salt!"

"Snow salt? Salt?"

"..."

King Li's expression changed visibly.

He is very sensitive to the word "salt".

The main economic pillar of his mother's family, the Queen's family, is coarse salt.

Because of the coarse salt, the queen's family is strong, and the strong mother family can help him win the position of crown prince and then become a great treasure.

He grabbed the small porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork, tilted the mouth of the bottle, and poured it into his palm. A pile of crystals as white as snow and as fine as sand appeared in his palm.

Not to mention anything else, the color and purity of this product alone beat coarse salt instantly.

King Li immediately pinched a little with his fingers and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully... After a few breaths, his brows were completely squeezed together, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes widened.

His expression at this moment was one of rare shock!

"It is indeed...salt!"

King Li roared, his voice was extremely solemn, and coupled with his pale face, he looked like he was about to face a catastrophic disaster and undergo earth-shattering changes.

At this time, the sound of silk and bamboo in the flower hall is still pleasant.

The dancer's dancing posture is still graceful and sultry.

King Li had already broken through his guard. The melodious sound suddenly entered his mind. The atmosphere was completely inconsistent with the emotion in his heart at the moment. This made him furious on the spot. He turned around and shouted at the dancer and musicians:
"Get out!"

"Slaves, please obey..."

The dancers and musicians were almost scared to death. This was the first time that King Li scolded them like this. What happened to King Li?No one dared to ask, and everyone fled out of the flower hall quickly.

The flower hall finally became quiet.

King Li held the pile of snow-white salt in his hand, looked at it again and again, and tasted it again and again. His face became more and more gloomy and ugly, and finally he ordered the eunuch:
"Hurry and get ready, I want to see my grandpa."

"Yes.".

"..."

the other side.

The poisonous lady is on her way.

She had received the news that Chen Keyan had persuaded Emperor Chen. Although she was surprised, she didn't think much about it and hurried back to Yingzhou to tell Su Xian the news.

……

……

girders.

Yingzhou.

Su Xian had no idea what happened to Nan Chen.

No matter how fast the poisonous lady is, it will take a day or two to return, maybe longer.

Su Xian is still waiting for news from all parties.

For example, Yan Dashan.

Such as the poisonous lady.

Also like the people who were sent to secretly contact King Hunxie or Nalanjie...

During this period, Su Xian was not idle.

He tried to trick Tang Shujing and "stole" Tang Shuwan again, and they met to swim in the lake together as unmarried people.

This time, Su Xian found a way to get away Tang Shujing and Yang Zhilan. He and Tang Shuwan were the only two people on the big boat on the sparkling lake.

While fishing with fishing rods in hand, they talked about poetry, ancient and modern times, laughing constantly, and the distance between the two shortened a lot.

A sour smell called "love" is fermenting rapidly...

After this day, they had almost reached the point where they could talk about everything.

Tang Shuwan shared little secrets and interesting things in her daily life.

Su Xian also selectively talked about himself.

For example, when he returned to Hebei Province this time, his real purpose was not to return to his hometown in glory, but to secretly fight against the Liao Dynasty... as the chief official of the Criminal and Prison Division.

He did not dare to reveal the identity of the small pavilion leader of the inner guard. After all, the inner guard was too mysterious and taboo, and it would not be beneficial for Tang Shuwan to know.

……

After swimming around the lake.

Back to Houfu.

Before he could take a sip of tea, a piece of good news fell from the sky and hit Su Xian on the head——

Yan Dashan is back!
"Take him to the study quickly!" Su Xian immediately became energetic. After giving the instructions, he rushed to the study and waited there in advance.

Soon, the light dimmed at the open study door.

Su Xian looked up and saw a tall, energetic but energetic man blocking the door. Who was Yan Dashan?

"Mountain!"

"Son!"

Su Xian greeted him into the room and slammed the door tightly. Looking back, he saw that his face was a little haggard, as if he didn't have enough sleep, so he said with concern:
"It's been a hard journey, why don't you go take a nap first? It'll also help you regain some energy."

"Thank you for your concern, sir, but no need. I'm in good health and can withstand it. It's not too late to rest after finishing the business." Yan Dashan's voice was loud and his eyes were so bright that he was almost beating his chest and pretending to be a gorilla.

"Okay, sit down first and have a cup of tea to refresh yourself." Su Xian didn't force it. When he saw Yan Dashan, he drank a whole cup of tea, and while carrying the pot to refill him, he asked:
"What was the result of this trip?"

"Living up to your expectations, sir, I have found out everything about the recent situation in the Liao Kingdom!"

Yan Dashan poured another cup of tea, burped, put down the cup, and immediately spoke in detail about the experiences of the Liao Kingdom and his party.

Su Xian hurriedly gathered his energy and listened carefully.

He did not interrupt, and let Yan Dashan speak first. After he had a general impression, he asked questions based on his own needs...

To put it simply, the chaotic situation in the Liao Kingdom is accelerating for the better thanks to the efforts of Prince Nantu and his son!
Yan Dashan estimated that it would take about another month and a half for the Liao Kingdom to basically resolve its internal conflicts and then gather a large army to go south to invade the Daliang border.

This is similar to Su Xian’s estimate...

The Liao Emperor fully supported Nan Tu Wang and his son and gave them various privileges, because the Liao Emperor also wanted to quell the civil strife as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor's position might not be guaranteed.

Once Nantu Prince and his son had their privileges in hand, while rectifying the civil strife in Liao, they also eradicated dissidents.

Many people who disagreed with their father and son's political views suffered a devastating blow.

Hearing this, Su Xian's expression changed, and he interrupted and asked: "What is the specific situation of King Hunxie? What about his son Nalanjie?"
