Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 352 She is more likeable

An Zhou was silent for a moment: "Your Highness is right to worry. There are indeed many talented people in the Wei royal family, and His Highness is in a dilemma now. In front of him are a few brothers who have already accumulated enough merits and have titles and real power, and behind them there are A group of nephews who are about the same age. They have their own fathers to pave the way for them, but His Highness can’t count on anyone. If you step back now, it will be difficult to regain momentum later.”

"So, I have to ask Mr. to help me more." Song Yuan continued to focus on the seeds on the table: "I have done so many things in the past, what is the point of quitting now? Go high and play low. Leave? In fact, I don’t have much merit, but I am popular. If I don’t seize the opportunity to find a title for myself, I will have to wait for many years if I want to get a title, and I can’t wait.”

"Don't worry, Your Highness. As long as I can help, I will not be stingy. I am one with Your Highness. Only when Your Highness is good can I be good. I understand this truth." An Zhoushi said, and his body became uncontrollable. Lean forward slightly and arch your back.

This subtle movement made Song Yuan momentarily distracted. She subconsciously reached out to hold An Zhoushi's shoulders: "Sir, there is no need to be so polite."

An Zhou realized his actions belatedly, and squeezed out a smile: "Your highness must be shocked by this servant appearance. I have been here for too long. Although your highness has always been polite to me, what is your identity?" No, sometimes I will inevitably think of being more respectful to His Highness."

"You shouldn't be like this."

"The environment has a great influence on people. In fact, in our place, we say that everyone is equal, but in fact, there is also a distinction between superiority and inferiority. It's just that we don't say it so nakedly. We like to use whatever workplace culture, people, and sophistication to cover up." An Zhoushi's expression Lonely, but he quickly cheered up and changed the subject: "Have you met Zhou Ye since your highness came to the northwest?"

Song Yuan shook his head: "I haven't seen him before, and it's not convenient for me to ask him where he is. Yan Yan came to see me."

"That girl also came to see me. She was a very powerful girl who came to the northwest from Jingzhao alone. She said that she had a clear goal of defecting to Song Run because the history books said that Song Run was an extremely enlightened man who respected his wife. So she wanted to make a difference by Song Run's side, but even a man like Song Run couldn't accept her being a woman in public, so she gave up. After waiting for Zhou Ye to come to the northwest, she decisively followed Zhou Ye. , asking for nothing else, just looking for an opportunity to show off her merits. She also asked about His Highness, and after learning about what His Highness had done in Leping, she said she was going to see His Highness. I thought she was joking. "An Zhoushi talked about this ramblingly, and then Song Yuan knew that they had met.

An Zhoushi took a sip of hot tea from a bamboo tube and said, "What do you think of this Miss Yan Yan, Your Highness?"

"She is a girl with strong opinions and courage, but she is trapped by her identity. If she is given a chance, she will definitely be able to achieve outstanding results. She came to me because she wanted to cooperate with me. I agreed, but I also said At the front, I really can't give her any help now, so she went back to find Zhou Ye."

An Zhoushi pursed his lips and nodded: "If you have a chance, your highness should meet Zhou Ye. If we don't see each other for too long, no matter how deep the friendship is, it will fade away."

"Of course." Song Yuan responded.

She spent New Year's Eve in Anzhou's small yard and was not in a hurry to leave. After waiting for two days, Zhou Ye came.

He was still as tall as he remembered. When he came in from outside the house, he was almost blocked by the snow light that reflected from outside the door.

An Zhoushi was startled before he could see who it was: "Oh my god, I thought a bear broke in."

"Hahaha" this metaphor made Song Yuan laugh: "In the winter, all the bears lie down in their dens to sleep."

An Zhoushi hurriedly went to drink water to calm down. Song Yuan stood up and looked up at him with a smile on his face: "Long time no see." "Long time no see." Zhou Ye's eyes were fixed on her, three years was a long time. It's not long, but Song Yuan has changed a lot. She is more stable and calm, and has more mature charm. This kind of charm is more likeable than the frizzy innocence and affectation of a little girl.

An Zhoushi hurriedly asked Zhou Ye to sit down: "Everyone has been arranged to go out. There are no outsiders. Don't worry. Sit down and chat. Why did you come so suddenly?"

"Yan Yan said that His Highness was on inspection, so I guessed that His Highness would come to your place to celebrate New Year's Eve, so I rushed over directly." Zhou Ye looked at Song Yuan with a smile: "Fortunately, I didn't miss it."

"Where's Miss Yan?" Song Yuan asked, "Why doesn't she come with you?"

Zhou Ye shook off the snow on his body: "She is very busy. She is busy tinkering with fireworks these days. She said she wants to take advantage of the New Year to make a lot of money so she can tinker with something she wants to do. When His Highness needs her someday, So she won't be unfamiliar with it."

"Okay." Song Yuan picked up the hand stove and said, "Since you came to the northwest, we haven't had a chance to meet and talk. My elder brother arranged for you to come here. You haven't been embarrassed since you came here, right?"

"His Royal Highness arranged it. How dare others make things difficult? Moreover, the Second Master relies on me very much. After I came to the northwest for three months and got familiar with the situation, he arranged for me to go to the forward camp." Zhou Ye is very satisfied with his current situation: "The big and small have also fought against the Huns seven or eight times, and now they have become a forward captain."

Song Yuan was overjoyed: "Congratulations on that."

"I have to thank His Highness for the introduction." Zhou Ye said and clasped his fists. He was very adaptable to his current status. Going into battle to kill the enemy made the blood flowing in his body boil.

Song Yuan hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare to take credit. You have the real ability to achieve your current status. If you really want to thank me, you should thank my elder brother. But having said that, there are frequent battles with the Huns on the border. ?"

"It's not that frequent, but there are always Huns who cross the border. I don't know how other places will deal with it, but the Second Master has ordered that all Huns who enter the country will be executed without mercy. There is no need to show mercy. For this reason, both sides have fought several times."

When he said this, Song Yuan remembered that Wei Yan once mentioned that some people would deliberately let the Huns enter the country: "Are you only responsible for the Zhangye border?"

"It was true before, but after Your Highness came to the northwest, the Second Master ordered me to lead a team of troops to patrol the entire northwest, and kill all the Huns I saw. He said that the Huns should not be allowed to ride loose and cause trouble for the autumn harvest. The Second Master went to Beijing to report on his duties. He appointed me as the captain, added some troops and told me to continue patrolling, and there is no need to show mercy to the Huns."

Song Yuan was surprised: "I was just wondering why the Huns didn't cause trouble during the autumn harvest. It turns out that my second brother had an arrangement. I thought it was my connections that worked."

Zhou Ye smiled: "Although the Second Master is lax about military affairs in the northwest, he does not give in at all on serious issues. No matter how thoughtful the other masters are, they would not dare to provoke the Second Master on such matters."
