kill the immortal

Chapter 59, Chapter 58

The Prime Minister's Mansion held another family banquet, probably because Yu Nian came back.

When An tired of seeing her, she was wearing a red and white pomegranate dress, sitting with Yu Jin and Yu Ru in the gazebo in the courtyard.

When she faced her brothers and sisters at home, she was not so bitter and bitter. All her resentment seemed to be directed at Yu Jingtang alone.

An Yan didn't know what was going on in her heart.

"Brother Yan!" Yu Huanzhang and the others were also there, and when they saw An Yan, they smiled and waved for him to go over.

"It's been a few days, I hate brother." Yu Jin also said with a smile.

Except for a few children, all the younger generation joined together.

"Master An is very busy. After becoming an official, you will never be found again." Yu Huanzhang said leisurely.

Yu Jin said: "Brother Yan is in an important position now, and he has to go to the queen's court every day, so he must be careful in doing things, and of course he can't be like you doing nothing every day."

Yu Huanzhang curled his lips upon hearing this.

An Yan smiled and said, "I'm really busy these days, so I'll invite Brother Huanzhang to drink another day."

"Brother Yan, won't you invite me?" Yu Huanzhen said aside, and even winked at An Yan.

An Yan understood immediately, and said, "Naturally, I invite you together!"

Yu Huanzhang and Yu Huanzhen smiled knowingly.

Yu Jin sized them up, and said to An Yan: "Brother Yan, these two people always do some unscrupulous things, don't imitate them!"

Yu Huanzhen was unhappy: "How can Sister Jin look at us like that!"

The two started fighting each other there, An Yan looked at the scene happily, and then turned his gaze to Yu Nian who was still sitting in the gazebo and didn't come over.

Her face was not so cold today, but it was also very light, her eyes casually glanced at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Wang Gui, the manager of the mansion, came over: "Master An, the master let you go."

"Okay." An Yan nodded.

After An Yan left, Yu Jin glared at Yu Huanzhang and then Yu Huanzhen: "You two, don't take Brother Yan to places like brothels!"

Yu Huanzhen's eyes widened, with an innocent and surprised face: "Sister Jin, what are you talking about! How could I go to that kind of place?!"

Yu Huanzhang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing this, Yu Jin waved her small fists and threatened: "What are you laughing at, I'm serious, if you dare to mess around, I'll tell daddy... No, tell uncle!"

Yu Huanzhang said seriously: "Although we brothers are a bit cynical, we have always hated that dirty place!"

An Yan walked into the inner hall and saw brothers Yu Jingtang, Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian sitting there drinking tea.

There was a hint of sadness in Yu Jingtang's expression.

An Yan suddenly thought that maybe it was because of the murder of Zheng Zhuoming, the governor of Yanzhou. This Zheng Zhuoming came from Yu Jingtang's father's family, and he should have a close relationship with Yu Jingtang.

"My nephew has seen my uncle and two uncles."

"Sit down." Seeing An Yan, Yu Zongqian said with a smile.

An Yan took a seat on one side.

"Then the envoys from the Qin and Han countries went to see the Queen of Heaven again?" Yu Jingtang asked.

An Yan nodded.

"Is there any difference in the meaning of Queen of Heaven?" Yu Jingtang asked again.

An Yan, as a housekeeper, was often in front of the Queen of Heaven. It was naturally the most convenient for Yu Jingtang to ask him about things in the palace.

Yu Jingtang was also against opening the Three Realms Gate.

An Yan pondered for a while, and did not answer directly, but said: "The envoys made a new condition. They heard that there has been no rain in Xuantang for three years, and they promised to help us spread the clouds and rain."

All three were shocked.

Yu Jingtang frowned even more, and he didn't continue to ask what Empress An Yantian meant.

Yu Zongqian asked: "What do you mean after that day?"

"The Empress refused." An Yan replied.

Yu Zongqian sighed deeply.

Yu Wenjian said: "My Xuantang country is rich and prosperous, even if there is a natural disaster, it is no problem to support these victims for a few years, but if it does not rain, no matter how prosperous the country is, it will be dragged down sooner or later."

Yu Zongqian said: "If the Three Realms Pass is opened, it will undoubtedly bring disasters to the people of Xuantang! But if this continues, the people will also suffer untold hardships. Do you want to hope for the rain from the sky that is far away?"

Yu Jingtang sat in the main seat and thought silently, but it seemed that he was also troubled by this.

"Since the envoys will come to look for elder brother, Shentu Ying and Pei Shihe must have been there too. They may not be able to resist the temptation of this monster outside the pass."

"This is a crime of treason!"

"Once the Three Realms Pass is opened, will the country still be the country? There are reasons to accept both of these!"

At this time, Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan who was also silent, and after thinking about it, he suddenly asked: "What do you think?"

Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian also stopped and looked at An Yan.

An Yan said: "Uncle is asking me, should I open the Three Realms Gate?"

"Ah."

"Since they are asking us, why should we worry?"

Yu Jingtang frowned and said: "Continue."

An Yan said slowly: "If what they said about the spiritual disaster outside the pass is true, we can only let in one person who can spread clouds and rain. If they really want to survive, they will definitely not give up such an opportunity. It is rumored in the world that there is chaos outside the customs, so they should not unite as one in the face of life and death just for the sake of the righteousness of the country."

"It would be best if the monster brought in could solve the rain problem from the root cause at once. He can be killed when he is used up."

"If not, you can always keep him as a tool for rain."

Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian watched An Yan say these words without changing his face, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

An Yan knew the purpose of those monks outside the pass, and the spiritual disaster was only part of the reason.

But doing so is tantamount to opening a gap.

Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan's eyes flickering, he didn't make a decision, but said: "It's time to eat."

Seeing this, Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian stopped there, got up together with Yu Jingtang, and walked out.

At the banquet, they did not mention this matter, but chatted with their family members.

"Next spring, Huan Ting and Huan Qi should participate." Yu Zongqian said.

"Let them go." Yu Jingtang only said. "If you are not prepared enough, you will be embarrassed if you go."

Yu Wenjian's wife, Mrs. Bai, sighed, "These two children are far away in Chang'an, so they must have had a hard time here."

This made Yu Huanzhang curl his lips secretly, and made a disdainful expression towards Yu Huanzhen and An Yan, as if to say that it was ridiculous that they lived a miserable life in Chang'an.

Yu Wenjian frowned and said, "Did you send them less money? It's not their fault."

"Who will preside over the spring next year?" Yu Zongqian asked.

Yu Jingtang pondered for a while: "Not sure yet, it should be Zhao Hanqin."

Yu Zongqian couldn't help but said: "Zhao Hanqin...isn't his qualifications not enough? Isn't it better to be Xiegong?"

Yu Jingtang said calmly: "Mr. Xie is old and is about to retire. His son, Xie Linghan, is quite talented, but his career in politics will not be so smooth. I think Zhao Hanqin is quite suitable."

Yu Huanzhang and Yu Huanzhen had no interest in discussing these matters with their elders.

An Yan, on the other hand, understood a little bit.

Yu Jingtang's son, Yu Huanting, will come to take part in the scientific examination next year, and asking Zhao Hanqin to preside over Chunwei means that Yu Huanting has joined Zhao Hanqin's school.

Now that the position of Nayan in Luantai is vacant, Zhao Hanqin, the servant of Luantai, is the top leader in Luantai's face.

An Yan already had some knowledge of Xuan Tang's senior management.

Naturally, Yu Jingtang is the one with the most power as a civil servant, the internal historian of Fengge and Zuo Servant, and his disciples and former officials are all over the court and the public.

The second is Pei Shihe, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the right servant, who has the same power and is a heavenly official (the Ministry of Officials). To a certain extent, his status is no lower than that of Yu Jingtang.

But because of the relationship with the Queen of Heaven, Yu Jingtang is still No.1 civil servant.

Afterwards, all the ministers, except Pei Shihe, stood in line, and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rituals were all on Yu Jingtang's side.

Then there was Zhao Hanqin.

As for Shentu Ying, because he holds military power, he is completely different from Wenchen Group.

After the family banquet, Yu Jingtang asked An Yan to stay alone.

in the study.

An Yan closed the door and saw Yu Jingtang standing behind the desk with his back to him.

"Do you think Tianhou intends to open the gate of the Three Realms?" Yu Jingtang asked him.

"Shouldn't uncle know Tianhou better than me?" An Yan said.

Yu Jingtang sighed and said, "In the past two years, something has changed."

An Yan's mind moved slightly, secretly wondering if it was because of the matter with Shentu Ying.

After thinking about it, he said: "The first time the foreign envoys from the two countries met Tianhou in the Fuluan Hall, they offered a pill that could bring the dead back to life. At that time, Tianhou seemed interested, but the envoy said that the deceased must take the medicine within seven days. It worked, and the queen rejected them."

What An Yan meant by saying this was to tell Yu Jingtang that the Queen of Heaven is not determined to refuse to open the Three Realms Pass, as long as those monks outside the pass come up with sufficient conditions, she may change her mind.

Seeing that Yu Jingtang was silent, An Yan asked, "Uncle, do you think that the method I proposed earlier will not work?"

Yu Jingtang was silent for a while: "Maybe it is a solution, but it is not a pure solution to the problem, it will bring more problems."

Yu Jingtang realized...

An Yan thought to herself, and then thought how could he not realize it, after all, he was the prime minister.

"What uncle said is very true. It is because my nephew is not careful enough."

Seeing that Yu Jingtang was still frowning and thinking, he said, "Why don't uncle wait a bit."

"Wait?"

"Wait a minute, Master Pei, and Lord Zhen Guo." An Yan said.

"Didn't my uncle say earlier that the envoys of the two countries might also go to them? Maybe they will have some solution. If the matter is resolved in the end, everyone will be happy. If it fails, I don't care about uncle's business."

Yu Jingtang waited for An Yan to finish speaking, his cold face was expressionless, and his eyes were fixed on him.

After a long time, Yu Jingtang said coldly: "You want to open the Three Realms Pass?"

An Yan bowed down and replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Uncle, my nephew was a disaster victim."

"...You step back."

"Yes, nephew retire."

Walking out of the study, An Yan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He did all this for one purpose, to tie Yu Jingtang to his boat!
