The Grand Master

The drama of Jingzhao Yinfu Office finally ended, but the situation in Chudu this time seemed to be becoming more and more bizarre.

Just as all the insiders turned their doubtful eyes to Lord Huangfu, the old man sat alone in the study drinking tea, with a satisfactory curve hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"The fox's tail is finally revealed."

Without the audience, naturally no one would know who the old man was saying to whom he meant, but, as Emperor Chu asserted, his teacher would not make a name out of nothing.

At the same time, Grand Master Yan of Yan's mansion was holding a family meeting again. I don't know how many times it was in the past few days, but he was still anxious and became more and more like an ant on a hot pan.

"Confirm? Lord Gu came out without any injuries?"

"Yes, and the process is open. Lord Gu did not mention a word about His Highness the Third Prince."

"Well, that's good..."

Master Yan was helpless. He thought that Gu Yue no longer had an excuse to go into seclusion and refining medicine. He might not have to be so anxious. He never thought that before he saw the following, Teacher Zhang, who was provoking trouble, was assassinated in a tavern. The news was simply a thunderbolt, because even himself, he would have thought that this was not done by Gu Yue, but it must be directed at Gu Yue.

So there is a big net behind this scene that is gradually revealing clues.

Especially after hearing Gu Yue was taken to Jingzhao Yin's office, Grandmaster Yan became more and more nervous, because he knew very well that Huang Youwei was a veteran of the officialdom and a personal talent, but he was loyal to His Majesty enough, so he would not be vague in the face of major issues. Even if Gu Yue had life-saving grace to him, it might not work.

What made Master Yan even more worried was Gu Yue's attitude, because his stupid son said that Gu Yue had admitted to the beating in front of Huang Youwei very bluntly but did not explain why. This shows that Gu Yue himself didn't care at all. If Gu Yue was so unscrupulous in the court, could Yan family and Master Yan themselves not care?

Unfortunately, there was no good result in this family meeting. Master Yan was very tired, but the big family could not find someone who could share his worries. The family was already in turmoil...

"Father, my son thinks that Gu... is definitely not a reckless person. It is better to be able to escape from Jingzhao Yinfu this time, so you don't have to worry too much. Why don't you let your son go to the Alchemist Academy again? Just think that it's because I heard that Gu entered Jingzhao Yinfu and express my greetings?"

"No! You have to go over to "condolences" without anything else. What's this?! I warn you not to make a fuss during this period of time, and not to go to the Alchemist Academy!"

Yan Safu felt very frustrated. He obviously got Gu Yuena's first-hand news, and his father did not praise him at all. Now he continued to scold him in front of other people in the family, without any face at all!

But his ability to withstand pressure is enough. Perhaps he has been treated like this since he was a child. If it were someone else, he would have been rebellious...

However, the ridicule and contempt in the eyes of those sidekicks still made Yan Safu angry. He secretly decided that he must make greater contributions in this matter and that everyone who looked down on him would shut up!

So, after the family meeting, Yan Safu came to wander around the Alchemist Academy alone, but he was still a little afraid of his father's majesty and did not dare to take a step in.

But this action alarmed the people in the academy, especially during this sensitive period, the guards were all cheering up.

Gu Yue, who had just returned to the college, specially invited the Tang sisters to visit with her "by the way". She is still enjoying family ethics dramas, but in fact, it is just a few girls who come and go.

"Sir, Yan Safu from Taishi Yan's family was sneaky outside the courtyard and went back and forth several times. For some reason, did you have any instructions?"

"This guy dared to come alone before, but now he doesn't dare to come in. It's probably because his father issued the ban. He is an interesting 'filial son'. Let's not care too much, let him wander more."

"yes!"

It is not difficult for Gu Yue to imagine how hot the impatience of Master Yan was, but he himself did not understand why this happened at this moment, so he naturally had no time to worry about others.

However, one thing that reminded Gu Yue of new ideas was not a secret that he had beaten the third prince, most of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the court were clear about it, and they also understood who would suffer if this matter was shaken out.

Before, Huangfu Bozhong was suppressing him, so no one dared to take action, but this time Huangfu Bozhong did not react. Is it an excellent opportunity for Taishi Yan's enemies?

So, perhaps there is a possibility that Tai Shi Yan’s enemy is the enemy behind this scene?

"That, interrupt a little bit. Who knows anything about that Tai Tai Shi? Does anyone like to go against him the most?"

Knowing that Gu Yue wanted to talk about serious business, the girls who were talking just now also put down their swords, but Tai Shi Yan had nothing to do with their daily life and there was not much news.

"Aren't we all very good at talking just now? Why do we feel more silent when we encounter serious matters?"

Faced with Xiang Wuyou's sarcasm, Tang Jihuang and Murong Di, who were the most "bounced" just now, could only roll their eyes but were indeed powerless.

"Brother, at the critical moment, do you still have to help you solve your doubts, right?"

It is true that you don’t miss any opportunity to highlight your ability at critical moments, but Gu Yue dare not say this.

Of course, he didn't dare to really agree with Xiang Wuyou's statement...

"Wuyou, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time. So do you know anything about Master Yan? Tell me quickly. I don't know anything except how many stupid children he has."

"Okay, okay, since my brother is so anxious, Wuyou naturally needs to share the burden."

The face with "little pride" really has the style of her mother when she talks, especially the light of confidence.

However, no audience member would applaud this stall.

According to Xiang Wuyou, Yan Taishi is actually very ambitious and skillful.

As early as that turbulent period, Tai Shi Yan not only did not make much achievements in the court, but also did not really receive attention in the Yan family.

But all this was changed by one person and one thing.

This person's name is Huangfu Dang, and the incident was that Emperor Chu married Concubine Yan.

Speaking of this, Xiang Wuyou actually had some sympathy for his mother, because the wedding date between Empress Chu and Concubine Yan was only three days apart...

Of course, the distance between Concubine Yan and the fourth mother was even shorter.

All of this was a transaction by Lord Huangfu, and the purpose was naturally to attract support to Emperor Chu.

Under the compromise of Emperor Chu and the profound understanding of the great righteousness of Empress Chu, Yan Taishi's daughter soon became the imperial concubine, and he himself began to rise to the top. After all, the Yan family has always been a wealthy family. After beginning to pour his resources on Yan Taishi, everything was easy to come naturally, not to mention that these were Lord Huangfu's tacit consent.

But Taishi Yan's own ability is still strong, otherwise he would not be appreciated by Emperor Chu and would not be entrusted with important tasks.

However, there are actually more complicated considerations here, that is, let the Yan family check and balance the Changsun family.

At that time, there was no important minister behind Emperor Chu who could rely on except Lord Huangfu. As for Tang Wentian, that man even felt troublesome to attend court...

Because the Changsun family had two consecutive empresses, they were in the great Chu for a while. What's more, they might not even take the Emperor Chu seriously because they had the support of the empress dowager.

The person who stood up at this time was Taishi Yan.

He made full use of all the resources he could use to compete with the Changsun family in the court.

However, he was too single at that time, especially the ally who could win over the most was actually the family of the fourth prince's mother. However, this family came from the military. What Emperor Chu did not want to see the most was that the civil and military officers got too close to each other...

So every time he fights against Taishi Yan, he is at a disadvantage, but he never gets discouraged or slackens because he knows his positioning and knows more clearly what Emperor Chu wants.

Therefore, before the Emperor Chu personally led the imperial command, Yan Taishi's position was much higher, because only in this way could he help Lord Huangfu protect the peace of Chu.

Whether he was grateful or had more thoughts, Tai Shi Yan worked harder and made more famous officials and nobles. He had only one purpose, that is, to compete with the Changsun family, because this was the key to his success.

After the war, Lord Huangfu retreated bravely and took all his guilt with his shoulders. It was during this period that Master Yan climbed to the height he had always dreamed of. At the same time, he finally had the opportunity to rely on his own strength to curb the power of the Changsun family. Because the "omniscient and omnipotent" Lord Huangfu retired, only Taishi Yan could compete with the Changsun family in the court, so those adults who did not want to follow the Changsun family solemnly chose their own side.

For a time, Taishi Yan had an unprecedented reputation, and he successfully became the successor of the head of the Yan family, and all this became more and more consolidated when the third prince came to the age.

At that time, Tai Shi Yan's ambition was extremely expanding. Because he understood that Emperor Chu was afraid of the Changsun family, the candidate for the crown prince might not be the legitimate and the eldest son!

Unfortunately, Emperor Chu's decision disappointed Master Yan.

However, it was also during that time that Taishi Yan officially became Taishi.

Of course, this kind of power trick is not very new to him, a thousand-year-old fox.

However, after a while, Master Yan discovered a very surprising phenomenon, that is, for some reason, Empress Chu, who was obviously a savage, actually trained her son, the prince who had not yet been officially enthroned, into a playboy!

This discovery made Tai Shi Yan unclear, so he had to seize the opportunity, so he paid more attention to the cultivation of the third prince, and at the same time, he specifically asked his son to restrain the third prince's words and deeds.

Because Master Yan was very much looking forward to it, with Emperor Chu's talent and strategy, he might not be so willful in choosing a successor...
