Chapter 23: Golden Stage I'm sorry, brother, I choose to run away first
Yong Shaolan's father and brother all served Emperor Yuanwu in his endeavors, only to die on the battlefield. After the founding of Dayan, all industries needed to be revitalized, the system needed reform, and post-war reconstruction required talent. The nobles of the previous dynasty were Emperor Yuanwu's ready pawns.
However, the previous dynasties were all destroyed by the interference of external relatives in power.
Emperor Yuanwu needed to support new nobles as a check and balance.
At the age of twelve, he was granted the title of King of a Different Surname thanks to the merits of his father and brother. Since then, he has enjoyed unending favors, and the accumulated power of the former nobles in Yujing has turned their attention to him. Although he holds the position of regent, he possesses no political power. Without roots in Yujing or the support of his father, he has no choice but to abandon politics and join the military, leading 20,000 imperial guards to Liaodong.
The old powers check and balance the new elites, and the new elites check and balance the old powers.
Emperor Yuanwu won a great victory in this game.
Ten years.
When the birds are all gone, the bows are put away.
When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.
The enemy country was defeated and the counselors died.
Yong Shaolan admitted that he was cold-blooded, jealous, cruel, despicable, and would do anything to achieve his goals.
But facing Shen Yan, he chose to confess.
…
Zhao Yan pretended not to understand and stammered, "Your identity... Brother Lan, what is your identity?"
Yong Shaolan raised his eyes and looked at the young man, "That night, by the lake, Xuanji called me Prince, and Brother Shen heard it."
An affirmative sentence spoken by Yong Shaolan.
"Oh, oh, now that you mention it, I remember." Yong Shaolan had already made it clear, and Zhao Yan could no longer play dumb. He could only laugh and sit down, pouring himself a cup of tea: "I didn't expect Brother Lan to be a prince... Hahaha, hello, prince, prince... then I am the princess..."
Yong Shaolan confessed without leaving any room for doubt: "I am the Yong Shaolan you hate."
Zhao Yan: “…”
Zhao Yan lowered his head in a flash, muttering softly, "I'm sorry, I take back what I said about you being unlucky."
Then he started to flatter me earnestly: "You are not unlucky at all, you are a very good person, you cooked noodles for me, and bought me candy men and watermelons!"
"Besides, I don't hate it, I just..."
Zhao Yan thought about it seriously: "I just need some time to adapt."
Yong Shaolan has already blown himself up, so why not just tell him to open up... He actually feels that Yong Shaolan may not treat him the same way as in the original book!
Zhao Yan prepared himself mentally for a long time: "Well, actually..."
"Yanyan." Yong Shaolan didn't wait for the young man to finish: "The Nangong clan, a vassal of the Shen family, and the Seventh Prince are most likely the culprits who poisoned me."
Zhao Yan: “????”
Zhao Yan thought he had misheard: "What?"
Yong Shaolan repeated, "Nangong poisoned me and forced me to marry the Seventh Prince."
"I refused, so they sent someone to assassinate me, which made sense."
Zhao Yan: “…”
How could his mother poison Brother Lan?
Zhao Yan shook his head: "The Queen is not that kind of person... and the Seventh Prince is certainly not that kind of person. Brother Lan, you haven't even met the Seventh Prince, how can you say that?"
Yong Shaolan explained to the young man earnestly, "Brother Shen, you are from Jinling. The spices you use on your body can relieve my eye disease. This means that my poison is inseparable from the Nangong family. It is very likely that this poison needs to rely on Qilin'er's body fragrance to be cured."
Yong Shaolan: "After the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely reduce the power of the princes. A month ago, the Nangong family asked me to marry the seventh prince."
"I refused this matter, so they sent someone to assassinate me. As long as I was killed, the eldest prince would not be a match for the Nangong family. This reasoning is very reasonable."
Zhao Yan: “…”
Yong Shaolan's reasoning was indeed very reasonable, so reasonable that he didn't know how to refute it.
Did the Queen Mother bring him back to Yujing to marry Brother Lan and prevent the Crown Prince from bullying him?
Brother Lan refused, so when the Queen Mother saw it, she was heartbroken and scolded Brother Lan. Did she want to kill someone again when she was angry?
All the logic makes sense.
So in the original novel, even though Yong Shaolan was very annoyed with him, he still kept doing it with him, with the purpose of detoxifying him?
Brother Lan said he liked him, was it because of his body odor?
No way!
The Queen Mother is not that kind of person! He doesn't believe that Brother Lan treats him so well just because he likes his taste!
There must be a misunderstanding here!
But given their current situation, it is not appropriate to discuss this issue in depth.
Zhao Yan felt that he was a little emotional now.
He asked weakly, "So, what are you going to do, Brother Lan?"
Yong Shaolan didn't say directly, "The eldest prince is already the crown prince, and he cannot be easily deposed. After returning, I will be frank and neutral. If the Nangong family gives me the antidote, I will spare their clan. Otherwise, I will help the crown prince to check and balance."
"Or, if you don't like it, just kill it."
"But I will never touch your Shen family."
“Brother Shen, stand on my side, I will protect you.”
Zhao Yan: “………………”
He wants to be quiet now.
Zhao Yan cleared his throat and said clearly, "Well, I can't make the decision on this. Let me think about it. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."
"Can."
Yong Shaolan thought he had been extremely frank. He could see that Shen Yan didn’t know much about Yujing’s affairs, which was enough to show that his position in the Shen family was just a branch of details.
Although the Shen family and the Nangong family are good friends, there is no absolute affection when it comes to power.
Emperor Yuanwu was old and stupid. He had been planning for the Seventh Prince for many years, causing the First Prince and the Seventh Prince to fight against each other.
"Okay," Yong Shaolan shook the young man's hand that was on the table, "After the birthday banquet for His Majesty is over, we will get married again."
"I want to kiss you in the wedding night."
"OK?"
"Hmm..." Zhao Yan nodded stiffly.
Yong Shaolan thought Zhao Yan would find it difficult to accept it, so he took the initiative to say, "If there are any problems between us in the future, can we just talk it out directly?"
Yong Shaolan reflected on himself: "I was the one who hid it from you before. I'm sorry."
Yong Shaolan: "If you can't accept physical contact for the time being, let's take it slow. I won't force you."
Zhao Yan broke out in a cold sweat.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore..." Zhao Yan silently pushed Yong Shaolan: "Well, I'm going to go shopping, Brother Lan, wait for me here."
"Yeah." Yong Shaolan looked at Zhao Yan: "I'll wait for you to come back."
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he looked up at Yong Shaolan. He seemed to be able to feel that Yong Shaolan was a little distrustful of him, but Yong Shaolan agreed to let him go.
She stood there like a husband-waiting stone, looking at him.
Zhao Yan hesitated: "...Okay, you have to wait for me for a while, I may have some issues to deal with."
"It doesn't matter." Yong Shaolan said.
Zhao Yan touched his neck, gritted his teeth, and walked out the door.
Sorry, Brother Lan... I may not be back for the time being.
Zhao Yanxin said.
He must first find his mother to figure this out!
