Chapter 4 Duan Tianya!
After hearing Sande's account of what happened in the palace, Xiao Yan was quite shocked!
"It seems that Hu Zhenghe is not as simple as he appears to be. I feel a little scared!"
Upon hearing this, Sande bowed slightly, still holding the whisk in his hand.
"Your Highness, could it be that His Majesty has left three people for you?"
Sande also knew his limits. Eunuchs interfering in government affairs was the most taboo thing for the royal family, so he did not continue.
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Go on!"
Sande remained in the same position as before: "Your Highness still understands it in your heart, why do I need to continue!"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly. This old guy is really cunning!
"I understand. Go and call the commander of the Royal Guards to come to me. Remember not to let outsiders in."
Sande did not dare to be negligent and left the room after paying his respects.
It took a long time before he hurried back.
"Your Highness, someone is already waiting outside the door!"
"come in!"
At this time, a man wearing a python robe and a jade pendant on his waist came in from outside the door. There was also a badge of the commander of the Jinyiwei hanging on his waist!
It can be seen that this person has received great favor from the emperor and is worthy of such an honor.
"I, the commander of the Royal Guards, Duan Tianya, come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
As he spoke, the man knelt on one knee.
Xiao Yan did not say anything when he heard this, but tapped , making a "thump thump thump" sound that echoed in the room!
Xiao Yan didn't knock once, but it felt like knocking on Duan Tianya's heart.
He naturally knew why Xiao Yan had summoned him here.
But at this moment it could not show any discomfort, so it remained in a stalemate.
After a moment, Xiao Yan said, "Stand up and talk. Come, give me a seat!"
At this time, Sande also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his prince had offended Duan Tianya.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the seat!"
After Duan Tianya sat down, Xiao Yan looked at him with a smile, and suddenly a chill rose in Duan Tianya's heart!
"Ahem... I wonder why Your Highness has summoned me here?"
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "My father asked me to supervise the country. As you know, we are facing internal and external troubles now. I don't know where to start!"
"So... I need someone!"
After saying this, he leaned back in his chair, like a second-generation rich kid.
When Duan Tianya saw this, a feeling of disgust rose in his heart.
"Your Highness, if you need anything, I will do it for you!"
The Embroidered Uniform Guard only obeys the orders of the Emperor, but now that the Crown Prince is regent, he naturally has the authority to command.
But the thought of working for such a notorious person made me feel unhappy.
Xiao Yan took a look at Duan Tianya's face and knew what he was thinking.
"Okay, then tell me what's going on in the palace now!"
"As far as I know, the people around the palace that Father often visited have all been replaced. Why is that?"
Hearing this, Duan Tianya's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly returned to normal.
To become a Jinyiwei, one must not only have extraordinary skills, but most importantly, have strong psychological qualities, not to mention being a commander.
"Your Highness, the affairs of the palace are not under my jurisdiction. The Jinyiwei monitors the whole world. You should ask Eunuch Sande about the replacement. After all, you know more about the affairs of the palace than I do."
Sande didn't expect that this matter would involve himself. Xiao Yan also looked at him slightly, but soon Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head.
"San De has been serving beside the emperor all this time. What could he know? Does he know that these people were replaced by the Prime Minister, or does he know that the Prime Minister has met with the Commander?"
After saying this, Xiao Yan still looked like a second-generation rich man, his fingers still tapping on the table.
but!
Duan Tianya couldn't remain calm. He led the Jinyiwei to monitor the world, and having a secret meeting with important officials in the court was a capital crime.
After all, I only obey His Majesty, and it seems that I have lost the initiative at this moment.
Every time Xiao Yan knocked on the table, it sounded like the death drum in Yama's palace in Duan Tianya's heart.
"Master Duan, don't panic. Everyone has friends. Even a dissolute person like me still has a few bad friends."
"What's more, Lord Duan is such an upright person, I'm sure he has many friends!"
Duan Tianya's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. He must be joking to say that he was extremely licentious after doing such things.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. The Prime Minister asked me to meet with him before because of the affairs of the court. He did not discuss the replacement of the palace."
"Now that the Crown Prince is the Regent, he will naturally not meet with the Prime Minister again."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan still looked nonchalant and continued tapping the table. Duan Tianya was also confused at this time.
Duan Tianya was extremely nervous. The more nervous Xiao Yan was, the stronger the sense of oppression he felt.
"Your Highness, I understand the situation in the court. Although the Prime Minister holds great power, he cannot interfere with the Jinyiwei."
"We, the Jinyiwei, obey your Majesty and are only responsible to your Majesty!"
"I won't go along with those who exclude those who are different from me!"
After saying this, Duan Tianya breathed a sigh of relief. He had been suppressed by Xiao Yan for a long time and felt very uncomfortable.
Xiao Yan naturally understood the meaning of these words.
I, the Jinyiwei, obey Your Majesty. Hu Zhenghe cannot do that, and you, the Crown Prince, are even less capable of that!
Xiao Yan was not angry, because he knew that the Jinyiwei were all arrogant and proud people, and it would be difficult to win them over!
"So that's how it is. I was wrong about Master Duan. You can go back now!"
Duan Tianya was actually prepared to be punished, but after Xiao Yan said that, he couldn't accept it.
But Xiao Yan had already spoken, and he had no choice but to obey.
"Yes, I will take my leave!"
Only after Duan Tianya left did Xiao Yan stand up.
"Your Highness, why don't you ask in detail, just in case ..."
Xiao Yan looked outside the door with a slightly cold expression.
"There's nothing wrong with him. If there really was a problem, he would have revealed it long ago. He doesn't even look down on me, let alone Hu Zhenghe!"
Sande had served three emperors, so naturally he could hear what was in Duan Tianya's eyes. However, he did not expect that Xiao Yan could also hear it!
Everyone says that the prince is not worthy of his position. It seems that people have underestimated him. This matter still needs to be reported to the emperor.
The next day, in the court.
"I have a memorial to report to you. If nothing else, I will leave the court!"
Sande shouted to the crowd in the hall beside Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's mood did not change when he sat on the dragon throne.
"Your Highness, I have something to report!"
"speak!"
Xiao Yan only said a few words, but they revealed a bit of majesty.
"Your Highness, the north has been suffering from a severe drought for several months, and the number of refugees is increasing. If disaster relief is not provided in time, disaster may occur!"
"I beg Your Highness to open the national treasury, allocate money for disaster relief, and save the people from the water and fire!"
Xiao Yan didn't expect that he would be given such a difficult question on his first day as regent!
If this matter is handled properly, his prestige will be greatly enhanced. If it is handled improperly, Hu Zhenghe is afraid that he will make a fuss about it.
Obviously this matter cannot be underestimated.
