Fairy, Please Let Me Explain

In the past half month, there has been a lot of traffic in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because the Pingxian Tax Law was presented too suddenly, most of the ministers and ministers in the court did not receive any news in advance. They naturally rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion afterwards to see the situation, but their purposes were different.

Some people try to find out what's going on in order to plan for the future.

Some people visit simply to show their loyalty.

There are also some people who made a special trip to say goodbye.

Although they felt grateful for the support of the Prime Minister, but as the seriously injured censor in front of the hall said that day, "when the war breaks out, more than tens of thousands of civilians will be killed or injured." This is already their biggest compromise.

As the highest-ranking person in the prime minister's mansion after the prime minister's retreat, Xu Yuan had taken the time to meet with many important ministers these days, but this was the first time he came to the gate of the mansion to greet him in person like today.

The moonlight fell, and the heavy door slowly opened.

Li Zhaoyuan, who was waiting quietly in the carriage in front of the door, looked sideways when he heard the sound, and saw that the main door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was open. Surprised.

As the second imperial palace in the capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion must have rules and regulations. Although he entered the capital with great momentum, on the surface he was still just a concubine prince. In his heart, he was already prepared to be humiliated by the three sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion again. But he didn't expect that the other party would directly give him such high courtesy.

After calming down the weird eyes, after getting off the carriage, Li Zhaoyuan saluted calmly as he looked at the handsome young man who had already arrived in front of the carriage. Tonight, he was not wearing a python robe, but a blue and white Xuanwen costume, and his behavior revealed a leisurely calmness:

"Visiting late at night, the courtesy is not very good. I hope that the third young master will pay attention."

Xu Yuan raised his hands and folded them in return, saying:

"Your Highness is joking, please come in."

After the guests have finished the ceremony, they enter the house together.

The bright and clear light of the full moon fills everywhere.

Following Xu Yuan, Li Zhaoyuan glanced at the empty corridor of the box courtyard without leaving any trace.

There should have been many visitors to the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, but along the way, no one from the staff or outside visitors was seen.

He waited at the door for only half a moment before Xu Changtian emptied the crowd and came to greet him in person

Time has passed, has it finally changed?

"Your Highness, do you think it's strange?"

Walking in the cold water pavilion courtyard, Xu Yuan's calm voice suddenly sounded: "You think I, Xu Changtian, would treat you with such courtesy?"

The moonlight night is quiet, and the footsteps echo.

Li Zhaoyuan replied:

"Such attention to courtesy really makes Gu Shou a little flattered."

Xu Yuan looked back and asked half-jokingly:

"Then if I humiliate you as always, will Your Highness still tolerate it as before?"

Li Zhaoyuan also laughed when he heard this:

"Third Young Master, won't you know if you try it?"

When Xu Yuan heard this answer, he waved his hand:

"Your Majesty's decision to let you enter the capital is almost a clear sign. Times have changed, and neither you nor I can act the way we did before. We always have to consider the consequences."

Li Zhaoyuan pondered for a moment and said leisurely:

"If you, Third Young Master, are the same as before, I will still tolerate you."

Xu Yuan chuckled lightly and said:

"I know, but does this mean anything? People like you won't care about such an obvious insult. With my current status, if I really do such a childish thing, I'm afraid it will make you laugh, right?"

Li Zhaoyuan was silent for a while and said:

"Third Young Master, you have really changed a lot. When I was in the north, I saw you as a general, but today when I meet you, you are already a commander. You can actually calm down your emotions when facing extremely evil people."

Hearing the soft nails in these words, Xu Yuan didn't care at all:

"As we approach the top of the mountain, you have changed a lot. However, your words are so direct. It's not easy for me to accept."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan changed the subject and said:

"Calculate the time, Your Highness, you should have come straight to look for me as soon as you entered the city. Why don't you go back to the palace first to have a look?"

Li Zhaoyuan replied falsely:

"On the way to the palace, I thought I would pay you a visit first."

Xu Yuan stood still, directly exposed the other party's politeness, and asked:

"By the way? Your Highness was stationed in the north of the city, and the prime minister's palace is located in the south of the palace. Why, your Highness entered the capital from the south gate today? There is no need to be polite between you and me. If you have anything to say, please say it directly. I am very busy. ”

When Li Zhaoyuan heard this, he raised his eyes and stared at Xu Yuan for a moment, and said:

"In this case, Nagu is no longer polite.

"Third Young Master, I know that you hate me, so my visit tonight is to heal the rift between you and me."

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and asked:

"Is it necessary?"

The tide has turned. Even if he, Xu Yuan, hates Li Zhaoyuan, he still has to endure it, just like Li Zhaoyuan endured his slaps and endured the pain of being forced to eat his beloved.

Li Zhaoyuan smiled casually and said:

"The Pingxian Tax Law has reached all parts of Great Yan, and the situation no longer allows the emperor to fight. You and I have always been hostile, which will eventually affect the overall situation."

Xu Yuan listened to the other party's admission that he was about to ascend the throne and said:

"If that's the case, it won't be too late to come look for me again after you sit on the throne of Prince."

"."

The words fell into silence.

Li Zhaoyuan stood up with a sigh, bowed to Xu Yuan, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows and called out to the other party:

"Ready to leave?"

Li Zhaoyuan said with serious eyes:

"I only believe what the young master said. I am taking the liberty of visiting you tonight."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan raised the corners of his lips and said calmly:

"Such pretentiousness is not the caliber of a crown prince. Now that you are here, tell me what you have to say. I want to see what suggestions you have to bridge the gap between us."

Li Zhaoyuan thought for a moment and said softly:

"Third Master, I was the one who stabbed you and Qingyan before the battle."

Xu Yuan looked calm and said:

"Why bother to bring up this kind of news that is so common?"

Li Zhaoyuan ignored Xu Yuan and continued to say:

"So, I can give you, Third Master, a chance."

"."Xu Yuan frowned when he heard this.

"An opportunity to assassinate me without the royal family pursuing me."

"."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes finally flashed with surprise, and he smiled strangely:

"Your Highness, at this point, such lies..."

"I am not joking, and I have already obtained my father's approval for this matter."

Li Zhaoyuan said it very calmly, as if the things he said did not affect his own life: "It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. I know the temperament of the third son. For the sake of future plans, I am willing to take this risk."

Xu Yuan smiled gently when he heard it:

"No matter the means?"

"No matter the means."

"In other words, I can kill you now?"

After the words fell, the opportunities around Xu Yuan began to surge, and his spiritual vision directly locked onto Li Zhaoyuan in front of him.

Li Zhaoyuan seemed to have sensed something, but his expression did not change at all. The Qi around him also began to rise. He looked directly into Xu Yuan's eyes:

"Third Master, please be careful. You only have one chance."

"."

After staring at each other for a few breaths, Xu Yuan smiled and dispersed his skills, saying:

"You are brave, but I hate you not only because of that assassination?"

"Is it because of those millions of people?"

Li Zhaoyuan reacted quickly, but he also had a hint of amusement in his eyes, and asked leisurely:

"If that's the case, Third Master, Then there is even less reason for you to hate me. The process of rising to power is always bloody. This is true for me, my father, and the prime minister. You don't think that the source of the prime minister's power has not been stained with the blood of the common people, right? The Tatar Chao Rebellion forty years ago and the two rivers bursting their banks half a century ago were all masterminds of the prime minister. There are countless strategies with fewer casualties, and the total number of casualties of these common people is more than tens of millions?

"I am the same as my father and the prime minister. We are all for our wishes. If you hate me, you should hate those two as well!"

A general's success is built on the blood of thousands of people.

The current imperial power and prime minister's power are both built on mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Xu Yuan certainly knew this.

He took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Your Highness, what do my father and the emperor want in their hearts, and what do you want in your heart?

"This is the essence of why I hate you."

"Okay, I'll take the chance you gave me. If you can survive, I'll fight you and establish our sect!"

"Mu Xi, show me away!"
