Yan's foreign relatives, give Da Yan a little Xuanwu Gate shock

Before Zhongyue could refute, Yuan Congqian immediately interrupted him and shook his finger: "You don't want your sister to be involved in the struggle for succession in the royal family, and the New Culture Movement Progress Memorial that you worked so hard to write will come to nothing, right?"

Chapter 3: Mr. Yuan, the Imperial Prison invites you

Yuan Congqian's words made Zhongyue fall into deep thought and silence.

His dragon tail swayed slightly behind him.

Yuan Congqian leaned back on the comfortable Leitania sofa, waiting quietly, also without making a sound. The cold wind of September blew into the modern-style side hall through the window lattice and the screen that half-covered the window. After a while, the half cup of tea in front of Zhongyue had already gone cold.

"So, I have to help you?"

Zhongyue's voice inevitably became low and hoarse.

After a long period of repression and silence, it seems inevitable that the throat will become like this.

"Master, you have no choice, and neither do I."

Yuan Congqian replied calmly:

"Even if Duke Wei leaves me, he is still the eldest son of the emperor. The Yuan family has no real estate or land in the capital, and only a few favors from the heavenly masters who I don't know who recognizes. If Duke Wei leaves me, I will be like a rootless duckweed, and will be washed away by the waves in an instant.

Therefore, I want to make Yuan Congqian very important to Duke Wei, so that I will not become the price he pays when he fails in his competition at all costs one day. If Duke Wei thinks he is not important, then let him and his personal guards know that Yuan Congqian is very important. "

Yuan Congqian had read a lot of history in his previous life.

The more you read history, the more you know.

There is no room for maneuver in the political struggle within the Central Plains cultural system.

Unlike the civil officials’ political struggles and factions, from the pre-Qin, Han, and Jin dynasties to the Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, when did the power animals competing for the throne ever have any affection? Duke Wei could go to Longmen to be the economic center of Terra. Without power, the Yuan family would be like a child holding gold and swaggering through the streets. The next day, Yuan Congqian would die in the wilderness between the moving cities.

"Ah. Does it have to be in the capital?"

Zhongyue pursed his lips and sighed, seeing many people in history in Yuan Congqian.

I don't know whether he was admiring Yuan Congqian's persistence or his sister.

"The Witch King is stupid and cruel, the Tsar is old and incompetent. King Aslan is cold-blooded and jealous, Kazdel is like the sun and the moon. Casimir is ruled by merchants, Columbia and RemBit are controlled by Victoria, they are not like countries, but more like master and servant. Without Da Yan, where can we live in peace?"

Yuan Congqian looked at the sea chart next to Zhongyue.

Terra is a continent with an excellent matching system.

Most of the monarchs of this era were the same, unable to take care of themselves.

There was war in their territory as well.

In a few decades, there will be the Kazdel Civil War, the Victoria Civil War, the Tenth Uka War, the Bolivarian Civil War, the Lethanian Civil War, and the bloodshed at the RemBit fence. Looking around, there is no place in Terra outside the East of Yan Country that is in peace. Looking thousands of miles away, there is no place for civilians to stand!

War, famine, bloodshed, and devastation!

Leaving Yan Guorun does allow you to live a low-quality, stable life.

But at what cost?

"..." Zhongyue was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

What Yuan Congqian said was true.

Terra's geographical environment is harsh, natural disasters occur one after another, and there is almost no safe settlement. If you don't use mobile cities to avoid disasters in advance with the help of natural disaster scholars, the villages and settlements in the wilderness will have to be replaced every year. When natural disasters strike and Originium is contaminated, you have to leave your homeland and settle down again.

Mobile cities have fixed agricultural plots and agricultural areas for cultivation. Farmers are scarce, and Terra city residents can only work in sweatshops. At the same time, Originium medicine cannot be developed, and Originium products are dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be scratched by Originium crystals and your name will be crossed out from the denominator of the population.

If Yan Country doesn't come to become the Light of Terra, which other country can do it?

Did Yuan Congqian have to count on Rhodes Island, a small medical organization that only appeared decades later?

"Master, next, I will begin to tell you the top-secret information that Duke Wei's assassins heard from Duke Shu's mansion."

Yuan Congqian sorted out his thoughts and said seriously:

"On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the True Dragon will summon the Queen's relatives, the True Dragon's descendants, the court officials, and the old Heavenly Master to the palace for a banquet. At that time, the capital will also hold its own celebrations in various markets as usual. The venue is the Hanguang Hall that you will arrive at after passing through the Xuanwu Gate."

Duke Shu was going to lead Chen Guangxu, Fu Tingzhao, Zuo Xuanliao, Lin Yingwen and dozens of others to the court. They would first go to Hanguang Palace to pay respect to the True Dragon and the Queen, and have Fu Tingzhao lay an ambush at Xuanwu Gate. When the True Dragon summoned Duke Wei to attend a banquet with me, I would shoot him in one fell swoop. There was an insider of Duke Shu in the imperial army.

If Duke Wei escapes, he will lead more than 70 imperial guards to break into the palace and kill them. Lin Yingwen is a leader among the new generation of heavenly masters. He is enough to guard Xuanwu Gate alone. Zuo Xuanliao has supernatural power and can close the city gate, so Duke Wei's guards will not be able to rush in. Shang Shu is full of heroes, not to mention that Duke Shu is generous and generous. Many of the Jiangnan bandits have received his kindness. It will only take two days for them to rush to the capital and take control of the city defense.

So Lord Shu led Fu Tingzhao into Hanguang Hall, and Zhenlong would ask why there was a riot outside and who the soldiers around him were. Fu Tingzhao punched the emperor three times, and Lord Shu scolded Zhenlong for favoring Lord Wei and not allowing him to establish a personal guard. He also cut off Zhenlong's sleeve with a sword and ordered Zhenlong to announce his accession to the throne..."

……

Chongyue came here covered in dust and left wherever he wanted.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into dust.

Yuan Congqian called the female official in the mansion and asked her to ask the kitchen staff to prepare dinner when the door of the side hall was violently pushed open with a bang.

The metallic sound of armor colliding continued. Yuan Congqian looked back and saw a team of soldiers gathered at the door. A man covered in blood was thrown in.

When he saw Yuan Congqian, he immediately twisted his bound legs and feet on the ground, making a whimpering sound.

Yuan Congqian froze his grip on the teacup.

Then he calmly put the cold remaining tea into his mouth.

"I think you know why we are here."

The leader took off his helmet, looked at Yuan Congqian, and laughed loudly: "Mr. Yuan, the imperial prison wants you. Since you are a noble relative of a country, I will not put you in shackles. I also hope that Mr. Yuan will not embarrass the Taiwei Mansion and Queen Yuan."

"Who do you think you are to invite me?"

Yuan Congqian sighed and swaggered back on the sofa in an extremely impolite cross-legged posture.

The words echoed in the side hall, and the handsome young man behind the leading soldier's face turned red. He was about to reach for the sword at his waist with his right hand, but was stopped by the leading soldier. The leading soldier smiled and said, "Young man, why do you have to do this?"

"If you don't want to live through the Mid-Autumn Festival, or want to go to the underground to reunite with your loved ones in advance, then take a step forward."

Yuan Congqian tilted his head, his brown cat ears standing up arrogantly:

"Did Lord Nai and the Grand Commandant give you face? We entered Yuan's mansion today to arrest someone and poisoned the manor's steward to silence him. Will we enter Hanyuan Palace tomorrow and Zhenlong's bedroom the day after tomorrow and tell Queen Yuan that you know why we are here?"

Chapter 4: The Han Palace at Dusk Passing Candles

The leader's face changed slightly, and the people behind him tightened their weapons.

However, Yuan Congqian didn't care.

It doesn't matter whether he panics or not.

The important thing is to make the soldiers feel that he is not panicking.

He leisurely picked up the teacup, blew a breath, and said, "The Yuan family is full of loyal and brave people. They have been loyal to the Great Yan for generations. They have never received a stone of grain and have never had any rebellious thoughts. If you want to frame me so easily, you will really betray the trust of the general and miss a good opportunity."

The leader obviously did not expect that the son of Yuan Kerang, who had never entered the eyes of the high-ranking officials of Dayan, would be so difficult to deal with. Based on their understanding of these noble descendants, if they committed a crime, it would be good enough if they could not tremble in front of a man in full armor.

He bowed silently, and his tone softened immediately:

"We are just following orders, please don't obstruct me, Master Yuan."

According to the old rules, if a noble committed a crime, the servants arrested by Du Ya would be brought out to confess, and the matter would be resolved, and blood would never be splashed on Long Lin. But today, a weird rumor about "The Xuanwu Gate Incident of Duke Shu" spread in the capital, and the whole court of Da Yan was in chaos.

The Taiwei Mansion, Simaitai, Shangshutai, and Yushitai checked and investigated the case against each other all night long, and it was not difficult to find the cause of the case to Yuan Mansion.

Then, you can't investigate further.

Let’s not talk about the Yuan Mansion for now. It’s abnormal to be able to investigate the background of the person who spread the rumors so easily!

The three ministries and commissions of the government all turned their attention to the issue and began to investigate their political enemies to see if they had the guts to spread rumors that falsely accused the relatives of killing each other! They also wanted to frame the only son of the queen's brother! If they really couldn't find out, they would rather push the unlucky person to apologize than let the real dragon know about this rotten thing.

This is also where Yuan Congqian’s confidence comes from.

Everyone in Dayan thought that their political opponents were very capable and that this was an ingenious frame-up.

In fact, Yuan Congqian's level is very low.

Just like the business wars in previous lives, everyone thought that business wars were high-end games in offices and exchanges where people were giving orders and making speeches. In fact, the real business war was stealing the opponent's company seals, having the cleaners cut the wires, and logging into the opponent's QQ number to copy the chat records.

Duke Wei has not yet fallen from power in the Great Yan court, so who would really dare to treat him as a criminal who spread rumors?

Between the truth and the lies, Yuan Congqian had the capital to show his displeasure to this group of people.

Yuan Congqian smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and slowly stood up.

His eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped at the leader: "Acting on orders? Okay, I'll go with you. But I don't know whose orders you are following? The order of His Majesty, the order of the Queen, or the order of the Grand Marshal?"

The leader was surprised again. His face flushed, and he was obviously feverish.

Putting a hat on someone is also an art.

Directly accusing the other party of betraying the country and being unfaithful to the emperor may seem like a high-level accusation, but it is actually of a very low standard.

This kind of sinister accusation is the most heartbreaking.

◇

At dusk, at the Taiwei Mansion.

Yuan Congqian slowly stepped down from the carriage and smiled at the people around him:

"Yesterday, two Leitanian Electors announced that the Benz cars in the Elector Territory will be selected as the means of transportation for the administrative staff of the Elector Territory. General Tresis of the Kazdel Military Committee also announced that they will develop a civilian design for airships to achieve a curve overtaking of other countries.

But I don’t know when the important officials of the court of our great Yan will stop riding on the backs of lowly drivers and pack animals. "

The guard cursed in his heart who had brought this sharp-tongued relative here, and replied stiffly, "Don't bother, sir."

It is very rude to discuss the popularization of automobiles when electrical appliances have not yet been popularized in Da Yan.

After teasing the gatekeeper of the Taiwei Mansion, Yuan Congqian returned his gaze to the main entrance of the mansion.

The main colors are gray and bright red, which is a subtle difference from the traditional architectural style of Dayan, and inexplicably brings a sense of misery and solemnity. The two stone lions at the door have ferocious faces and sharp claws, so that the civilians who occasionally pass by the roadside dare not look directly at them.

"Mr. Yuan, please."

The leading soldier pushed open the gate of the mansion, saluted to Yuan Congqian, and waited silently by the door.

The handsome young man who had been behind him walked straight into the Taiwei Mansion, glared at Yuan Congqian, handed his sword to the guard, and said, "Follow me!"

Yuan Congqian didn't care about his offensive tone and walked in together:

"May I know your name, sir?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, as if trying to escape from Yuan Congqian.

The leading soldier walked beside Yuan Congqian and whispered, "The Imperial College student is recruited by the Imperial Guards, and the military candidate is Zuo Xuanliao."

Yuan Congqian immediately understood.

It turned out that it was in the Dayan version of the Xuanwu Gate folk legend that he had thought up after spending half an hour collecting information that Zuo Xuanliao and Zuo, who had "shined brightly", had unexpectedly found such a coincidence.

After all, in the previous life of Arknights, Zuo Xuanliao was already a white-haired general who guarded the border and had spent his whole life in Yumen. Who would have thought that he was so young now? He went from handsome to old, but Zhongyue still looked the same, almost making Yuan Congqian forget the era he was in.

No wonder Zuo Xuanliao always dislikes me.

The Taiwei Mansion recruited students who were both Taixue students and Wujuren. In other words, they were specially recruited by the Military Commission.

The soldier stopped at the entrance of the side hall and watched Yuan Congqian and Zuo Xuanliao enter the mansion.

After wandering around a lot, we finally arrived at the side hall used for receiving guests.

The specifications of the Taiwei Mansion were much higher than those of Yuan Congqian's Yuan Mansion, and even many places were illegal buildings ordered by the current True Dragon himself. In the feudal dynasty of Dayan, the number of entrances, rooms, and building heights of the mansions were strictly regulated. People of different classes could only open a certain number of doors, otherwise it would be illegal.

That is, due to the modernization of various countries, new-age building materials such as cement flowed into Yan State, and the government gradually relaxed the relevant laws. Otherwise, if you build a building with more than four floors in the capital, the soldiers of Da Yan will arrive at your doorstep that night.

Sitting in front of Yuan Congqian was the current Grand Marshal and General, Fu Qianming.

The inner lining was black, the outer robe was deep red, the jade pendant was taken off and put aside, and the golden belt was loosely wrapped around the waist, reflecting the flash of the crystal chandelier. Yuan Congqian only looked at him for a moment, and he felt a creepy feeling coming from all parts of his body, as if being pricked by needles.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze stayed on Yuan Congqian for less than a few seconds before shifting to the book in front of him.

"Who taught you this?"

Fu Qianming's voice was powerful and clear, like a huge bell in a tall building.

Yuan Congqian bowed his head and said, "I just had a sudden inspiration and a premonition, so I wrote it down. Unexpectedly, the servants in my family were afraid of death and secretly read the jokes I wrote. In order to save their lives, they fled to the wine shop and teahouse and spread rumors about the royal family."

Chapter 5 Smoke Scattered into the Five Marquis' House

Fu Qianming looked at Yuan Congqian calmly, his eyes were like torches, as if he could see through him, and he lowered his head as if he was asleep, silently examining the yellowed pages in front of him. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, he spoke, his voice deep and powerful:

"So, Mr. Yuan had no intention of stealing, and was just negligent in not noticing it?"

Yuan Congqian's heart tightened, but he remained calm.
