The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

After the Queen Mother left, the imperial study fell into a brief silence.

Although Yan Cang was appointed as the regent, because the emperor was already a grown man, Yan Cang did not interfere in state affairs decisions after the new emperor ascended the throne.

This was the first time that Yan Chen put down his posture and was anxious to invite Yan Cang over.

"Why did the emperor call me here so urgently?" Yan Cang's tone was indifferent and distant, and his eyes and brows had a cold and stern demeanor that made people feel that they were thousands of miles away.

"Yan Qing killed the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family." Yan Chen frowned, "She also ordered people to take Hu Yushi's son to the princess's house, saying that he was making people into slaves. Isn't it too much to do these things? "

Yan Cang's figure is majestic, with one hand behind him. His whole figure is like an unsheathed ancient sword, sharp and restrained: "It really shouldn't be."

"She also poisoned me."

Yan Cang raised his eyes slightly and looked at Yan Chen's face. He saw that his face was as usual, his complexion was fair and healthy, and he didn't look like he was poisoned.

However, there are all kinds of poisons in this world, and not all of them can be seen with the naked eye.

Yan Cang said indifferently: "What kind of poison?"

Yan Chen's eyes darkened: "The imperial doctor didn't diagnose it."

Yan Cang hummed.

Yan Chen was dissatisfied with his understatement.

The crime of regicide should be punished by death. How could he be so calm after hearing such a treasonous thing?

Yan Chen held back his anger and said, "How should the emperor handle Yan Qing's behavior?"

"Kill the nine tribes."

Yan Chen's expression condensed: "..."

"Yan Qing, including the Queen Mother and the Emperor, as well as this king and those princes, it is probably impossible to kill the Nine Clan." Yan Cang said in a calm tone, "How does the Emperor want to deal with her?"

Yan Chen said angrily: "Yan Qing killed the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family. At least he should give an explanation to General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao. As for Hu Yushijia's son, she should be ordered to put him back. The dignified imperial court ordered his own son to be killed. I can’t protect you, and I’ll make people laugh if I tell you.”

"Your Majesty is right." Yan Cang nodded indifferently, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with this decision. "You can send someone to convey the order."

"If the decree works, I won't ask the emperor to come over and make up his mind." Yan Chen was angry, but his tone was quite helpless, "Yan Qing didn't obey the imperial decree at all."

Yan Cang narrowed his eyes and casually walked to a chair aside and sat down.

Yan Chen watched his actions in silence, his eyes dark.

Sure enough, he is a arrogant emperor, relying on his military power, how can he be so unruly?

Yan Chen calmly lowered his eyes, picked up the tea on the imperial desk, and took a sip, "Wei Changhai, make some tea for the emperor."

"yes."

Yan Chen collected his emotions, raised his eyes and said: "The emperor should know that there are at least 30% of the Qilin guards under Jiu Mei's command. In the princess's mansion, they are on duty day and night. The guards in the mansion are like iron barrels. If she doesn't According to the imperial edict, there is nothing I can do against her unless I use force."

Yan Cang hummed, noncommittal.

Yan Chen's eyebrows were gloomy, "But once we confront her forcefully, many people will inevitably be killed or injured."

Of course, the number of casualties is not the most important thing, but the consequences after the fierce conflict between the two sides is what makes him uneasy.

First, if the emperor and the eldest princess confront each other, will the regent sit idly by and watch?

Secondly, the imperial guardsmen protected both inside and outside the palace. They were numerous in number and carried out the emperor's will with great resoluteness. No one dared to resist wherever they passed.

But Yan Qing didn't even take the emperor into his eyes, so how could he put the imperial guards in his eyes?

If the Royal Forest Army really wants to face off against the Qilin Guards, it is impossible for them to face off against each other.

Third, Xiao Chongshan is the most powerful general in front of the emperor. If he really wants to deal with Yan Qing, Xiao Chongshan can only intervene. Then will the regent take the opportunity to punish the Xiao family and weaken Xiao Chongshan's military power?

These are all things Yan Chen needs to consider.

So for now, he doesn't have enough courage to make a decision on this matter.

Wei Changhai put the tea next to Yan Cang and stepped aside respectfully.

"Yan Qing was exiled to Zhuque City for ten years. It's normal to have some resentment." Yan Cang said calmly, "If the emperor doesn't want to cause too much trouble, he can only endure it for the time being."

Tolerate?

Yan Chen's face darkened. He, the majestic king of a country, needed to endure his own sister?

"If she wants to kill the king, do I have to endure it?"

"She probably won't commit regicide. After all, it won't do her any good." Yan Cang said in a calm tone, "At most, she just wants to threaten the emperor."

Yan Chen said nothing, his head was extremely angry.

To put it in such an understatement, is it not a capital offense to dare to poison the king of a country?

Asking him to make suggestions, he actually just asked him to endure?

"What kind of method does the emperor think can help Yan Qing restrain his behavior?"

Yan Cang asked: "Has the emperor ever gone to find out what she did in Zhuque City?"

Yan Chen was startled: "No."

"If the emperor treats her as his sister, he should take the initiative to shut her down. Even if he didn't shut her down before, he should make up for it as much as possible in the future." Yan Cang said in a calm tone, "If the emperor treats her as his rival or enemy, then Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. The emperor has never understood what she has done in the past ten years. He doesn't know what her power and abilities are now, so he can't wait to turn against her, fearing that he will not be able to please her. "

Although Yan Chen was not very happy by what he said, he couldn't help but shuddered.

Yes, not everyone would dare to have Yan Qing with such a rebellious temper. It would really be unreasonable to say that she had no one to support her.

"I will slowly understand the matter of Yan Qing in the future. What the uncle said just now is right. Yan Qing was exiled for ten years. It is normal for her to have resentment. I am willing to tolerate her." Yan Chen frowned, "But I have to give the Xiao family an explanation for the death of the Xiao family's daughter."

Is it possible that the person died in vain?

"Your Majesty, make your own decision." Yan Cang lowered his eyes, "Either let Yan Qing apologize, or give some compensation to the Xiao family."

Yan Chen gritted his teeth and asked Yan Qing to apologize?

If he could make Yan Qing apologize obediently, would he need to send someone to invite him here?

Yan Chen's eyebrows became colder: "Yan Qing imprisoned Xiao Jinghan in the princess's mansion, and I heard that he was tortured... Can the uncle go on a trip for me and ask Yan Qing to release Xiao Jinghan?"

Let Yan Qing release him?

"That's Xiao Chongshan's son." Yan Cang frowned: "Xiao Chongshan himself couldn't do it, what virtue and ability do I have to let Yan Qing listen to his words and let him go?"

Yan Chen's head suddenly became angry, and he suppressed his displeasure, "After all, the emperor's uncle is an elder, Yan Qing should give the emperor's uncle this face."

"The queen mother is Yan Qing's biological mother, wouldn't it be better if the queen mother came forward?"

Yan Chen choked: "Yan Qing doesn't listen to the queen mother."

Anyway, Yan Cang has to go there.

Yan Cang's slender fingers stroked the teacup, and nodded slowly: "I can try, but whether it will succeed is another matter."

Yan Chen was happy, "Thank you, uncle."

Regent Yan Cang came forward, Yan Qing had to give some face more or less.

Yan Cang then put down the untouched teacup and walked out of the imperial study.

His Majesty the Emperor Qing looked gloomy, walked out of the imperial study, stared at the cold and tall figure, and slowly clenched his fists behind him.

When he first ascended the throne, the throne was not stable, but Yan Chen felt like he was surrounded by a group of wolves and tigers, and felt quite powerless.

The regent with a large army, the rebellious princess, the wild king of the four directions... They can restrain each other, but they are also the emperor's headache.

Is it really necessary to wait?

He urgently needs to cultivate powerful ministers and generals who are loyal to him, first stabilize his throne, and then slowly grow his wings, first use the regent to get rid of the king of the four directions, take back the territory and military power, and then get rid of the regent.

As for Yan Qing...

Yan Chen thought coldly that his foundation was not stable at the moment. Otherwise, how could he, the emperor who ruled the country and obeyed the orders of the emperor, not be able to deal with a mere princess?
