The whole family travels with me

The three of them exchanged glances, and Wei Qing said: "This time I send the princess to get married and I have another mission, which is to explore the people's livelihood situation in the Yan Kingdom, the situation of the court and the strength of the army."

Huang Ye became more and more confused as he listened, and couldn't help complaining: "Why, my father still wants to capture the Yan Kingdom!"

Wei Qing was noncommittal.

Huang Ye choked on his own saliva several times. He took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "I told you not to think too wildly. First, let's talk about people's livelihood. Do you know the geographical environment of Yan State?"

All three of them looked confused.

Wen Jin humbly asked for advice: "Does the princess know?"

Huang Ye nodded slightly, "Some people happen to know a thing or two. The entire land of Chen State is like a disk, evenly distributed. The bad thing is that the central area is surrounded by mountains, so most of the state capitals are distributed on the edge of the disk, while Yan State It is completely different from Chen State. It is more like a crescent moon and runs north to south. It is adjacent to Shiwan Mountain on the northeast and southwest sides and faces the sea. Its altitude is much higher than that of Chen State.

There are many mountainous areas, and animal husbandry is the main industry. Most of the people tend to livestock, and farming is only a sideline. This is very different from the Chen State. Therefore, even though the people of the Yan State are not as good as the people of the Chen State, their physiques are incomparable to the people of the Chen State. .

If you want to know the people's livelihood, you have to go deep into the people and understand the changes in the four seasons, their daily food, clothing, and work. These may seem simple, but the wealth varies in different areas. You can't see the real people's livelihood in Taikang City. But you can't leave Taikang City and go outside. Even if you collect enough information, you can't make a comparison without being equal at all. "

These words made the three men stunned, as if they had refreshed their understanding of women.

Wei Qing frowned, "How do you know so much, princess? What are your connections?"

Wenjin quickly asked her to cover up, "Wei Qing, the princess has to stay and live in the Yan Kingdom. It is impossible for the king, Concubine Zhou and the Zhou family to watch her helpless in a foreign country. They must have paved the way for the princess. , let’s ask less about these things.”

Wei Qing nodded clearly, "Brother Wenjin is right. I heard that the Zhou family also has business in the Yan country. With the Zhou family here, it is not difficult for the princess to know this information."

Tian Huai then thought of what Huang Ye said last night, and thought of the fact that the head of the Zhou family treated her as his own daughter. He instantly understood and his face looked much better.

There was no need for Huang Ye to lie. The three of them had already made excuses for her. Huang Ye sat down and told them about the situation in the Yan Kingdom's court, "The Yan Kingdom is just like our Chen Kingdom. The aristocratic families here are the main ones. The Lu family , Ouyang family, Feng family, Que family, the four major aristocratic families are about the same strength and restrict each other. There are more than a dozen medium aristocratic families under the four major aristocratic families, such as Liu family, Chen family, Yin family, Pei family, etc., and small aristocratic families. It’s even more numerous.

Although King Yan relied on aristocratic families, he was also afraid of aristocratic families, so the queen did not choose from the four major aristocratic families, including the still-living Concubine Yin, who only came from a middle-class aristocratic family.

The concubine with the most powerful background in the palace is Concubine Rou, the biological mother of the sixth prince. She is from the Que family. The other concubines, virtue, concubine, concubine and virtuous concubine are not as good as Concubine Rou, but the daughters-in-law chosen by these three are all from the fourth family. Women from wealthy families, why do you think this is happening? "

Wen Jin opened his mouth and said: "Do you still need to think about it? It's just for the throne!"

Huang Ye nodded, "Their thoughts are written on their faces. Why was the Sixth Prince assassinated just after he came back? We are all bastards, but the Sixth Prince's mother and concubine had the best background. Who would we kill if we didn't kill him? Now you know that the Yan Kingdom Dynasty The hall is in such chaos! There is only one throne, everyone can fight for it according to their ability.

When the Sixth Prince comes back, the water will only get muddier. Do you think King Yan is willing to let you see his sons killing each other? "

The three men were silent.

Tian Huai asked: "What about the situation of Yan's army?" Huang Ye glanced at him, lowered his eyes and said, "Do you know King Pingnan?"

Tian Huai nodded, "King Pingnan is the God of War of the Yan Kingdom. If he had not died, it would not be Shan Pei's turn to be crowned the God of War."

Huang Ye laughed dumbly, "Old King Pingnan is indeed dead, but the position of King Pingnan always has to be occupied by someone. I heard that King Pingnan's Li Ruo family's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, but after the death of King Pingnan, Pingnan Prince Nan’s Mansion seems to have disappeared, why do you think this is?”

The three men frowned at the same time.

Huang Ye glanced at them inscrutably, "It means there are some secrets here. I don't know what they are exactly, but since I am in the Yan Kingdom, sooner or later I will find out some clues. What do you think if Pingnan comes to Pingnan one day? If the heir to the palace leads the army to go to war, will a world-famous God of War reappear in the Yan State?"

The three men looked extremely ugly.

Huang Ye breathed a long sigh of relief, "Okay! I've told you everything I know! Don't make blind inquiries if you have nothing to do! If my father asks about it when you go back, tell him what I said today, and he will never embarrass you."

Wei Qing came back to his senses and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that what I thought was a difficult thing turned out to be nothing to mention when it came to the princess. After all, it was my incompetence. Not only could I not help the princess, but I also asked the princess for help.

The princess is right. It seems that our stay in the Yan Kingdom will not be of much use. In this case, we will wait and see for two more days. If the King of Yan has not made any move, I will go and say goodbye. "

Huang Ye's face brightened a lot when he saw that he had convinced Wei Qing.

After two days, King Yan did not mention the marriage to Princess Qingyang, except for him to entertain the people of the Jade Fei Palace with good food and drinks.

Tian Huai and the others went to see King Yan as agreed before.

"Are you going back?" The shock on King Yan's face was undisguised.

Tian Huai nodded solemnly, "It's almost late autumn now. If we leave now, we can return to Chen Kingdom before the heavy snow closes the mountains. If we continue to delay, we won't be able to return until spring next year. The princess is kind and can't bear to let me wait. Leave now.

It's just that the princess's marriage has not been settled yet, and the ministers really can't explain it to King Chen. "

"Young Master Tian is absolutely right!" King Yan sighed and nodded, "To be honest, I have been worried about this matter recently. I originally wanted to point out a noble prince to Princess Qingyang, but several of them The concubines each had their own ideas. Gu had promised them that they would also have a say in the prince's marriage, but now they were in trouble for Gu.

Lao Qi, mother and son, had no idea, but Lao Qi's condition was really not worthy of Princess Qingyang, so I couldn't aggrieve Princess Qingyang, so I could only wait and see.

On that day, Gong Yangu also promised Princess Qingyang that if she fell in love with an unmarried prince, she could marry him directly, but did the princess have someone of her choice? "

Tian Huai shook his head, "The princess has been staying in the Jade Fei Palace and has never left except for the day of the palace banquet. How can there be someone she likes?"

King Yan smiled kindly and said, "Since you are so lonely, just wait a little longer. The princess is already living in the palace. You can go out more and see more and listen more in the future! I will give her some time to adapt. If it is before Princess Qingyang's birthday next year, There’s no one chosen yet, how about I make up my mind for her again?”
