From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 1239

Zhou Yuan didn't bother to care whether the Great Protector was broken, he just couldn't wait to meet this Ninth Prince.

A person, who has been ill since childhood, lives in seclusion, reads a lot of books, and doesn't ask about politics, but can get the support of the Baishan Sect.

This sounds like a unicorn talent.

He wants to see it!

If you can meet such a wise young man in this era, it is also a blessing.

After all, Zhou Yuan really didn't meet one before.

The eldest sister and Huang Taiji are definitely, but when Zhou Yuan met them, they were no longer young.

And Dai Si and Ayinizi are also smart people, but they have obvious experience problems. It takes a long time to accumulate before they can really form wisdom.

Li Jingzhi is a genius, but unfortunately he is shackled by the world and can't open up.

If you really talk about smart young people, Zhou Yuan feels that there is only one Miss Qu Ling.

Unfortunately, Miss Qu Ling doesn't like politics, but prefers to make money and direct plays.

Walking into the Buddhist temple, Zhou Yuan saw the servants retreating one after another.

Under the golden Buddha, on the cushion, a young figure was kneeling.

He had a thin back and his hair was combed meticulously. He held a stick of incense in his hand, slowly stood up and inserted it into the incense burner.

He did not look back, but said calmly: "The saints said: cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and pacify the world. I am ashamed. I have never married, so I have not managed my family; I have never participated in politics, so I cannot govern the country; I have never governed the country, how can I pacify the world?"

"What's more, I wasted my health in my early years, often complained about the world, and was angry. To be more specific, this self-cultivation is not perfect."

Zhou Yuan's face became serious and his mood was a little excited.

Although this Erken is from the Western Regions, he seems to be really cultured. It is much easier to cooperate with smart people.

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Although self-cultivation and peace are the words of saints, they cannot be applied completely. Otherwise, how can we explain - how can we have a family if the Huns are not destroyed?"

"In my opinion, as long as you care about the world and see the people, you can govern the country and bring peace to the world even if you have never participated in politics."

Erken slowly turned his head and revealed a handsome face.

Zhou Yuan was really shocked. He had seen many handsome Han men, after all, he himself was one, but he had never seen a handsome man from the Western Regions. This one was really handsome.

He had clear contours and a face as sharp as a knife. His brown eyes were extremely deep. His whole temperament was very tough and sunny.

Erken bowed and said respectfully: "Erken, the ninth prince of the Yarkand Khanate, pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Wei."

Zhou Yuan returned the greeting and said, "You are a prince of the Khanate. It is not appropriate to bow to me."

Erken said: "Khanate? If Yarkand is a great Khanate, I really don't need to bow to Prince Wei."

"But Yarkand has been growing stronger and stronger for decades, but it has never really benefited this land."

"The so-called growth and strength is nothing more than a larger land area, more weapons and armor, and more officials."

"And the people on this land are still poor and oppressed."

"As a prince of such a Khanate, facing Prince Wei, who benefits the world, shouldn't I bow!"

Oh my God, he speaks well, don't turn me into a homosexual.

Zhou Yuan said: "You have lived in seclusion for so many years and have such a clear understanding of the current situation. You should have a lot of ideas, right?"

Erken looked at Zhou Yuan with a surprised look: "You...you have heard my story?"

"Ah...ah?"

Zhou Yuan didn't react for a while.

Erken said: "For so many years, I have been claiming to be sick and not participating in political struggles. I have been reading, studying, and making progress, just to wait for an opportunity."

"Now, the opportunity has finally come!"

"On my father's birthday, I plan to incorporate all of you into my guard and bring you into the palace together."

"This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone! First, you can escape my father's search! Second, you can disguise yourself and assassinate my father!"

"As long as my father dies, Yarkand will be leaderless, and I will raise my arms and shout, with the Baishan faction as my confidence, win over the ministers, and then take the throne."

"After taking the throne, consolidate the power and then pay tribute to the Great Jin. When the time is right, the Western Regions will all belong to the Great Jin!"

What a good thing to say! I want to applaud you! You are such a filial son!

Zhou Yuan said: "That... Ninth Prince, the focus is not on the Baishan Sect, but the commander of the Imperial Guard and the general of the City Defense Camp. Have we won them? And the other princes and ministers of Yarkand, have you privately investigated them?"

Erken said loudly: "No need! Everyone knows! Yarkand will perish! The Prince of Wei has stood up, how can they not know the current situation? Will they resist stubbornly?"

"The so-called destiny and the general trend, dare they not obey? Are they waiting to be exterminated?"

Zhou YuanHe swallowed, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said seriously: "What if he doesn't accept it?"

Aierken said: "It doesn't matter, I have a good idea. The Imperial Guard is led by my eldest brother Azati. I asked him about his position, and he said that he would support me unconditionally."

You believe this? Not you...

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Did he give a reason at that time?"

Aierken said: "Of course, there are three reasons. First, he hopes that the people in the Western Regions can live and work in peace, which means that they must all return to the Great Jin."

"Second, I am his younger brother, a sibling, and the others are not, so we should help each other."

"Third, this is the most important thing, he said I have the aura of an emperor and the style of a king."

You... you have the aura of an emperor? Then I will be the first one to kill you! Damn, can I allow such a powerful person to appear in the Western Regions!

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I am not a little Zhuge Liang. The Ninth Prince is the contemporary Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!"

The Ninth Prince said seriously, "You are too kind. I am no better than Li Yi of the Eastern Han Dynasty."

You are really good at history!

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Then it's settled! We will contact each other the night after tomorrow! I will have a way by then!"

Erken bowed and said, "I am so lucky to be able to accomplish great things with Prince Wei! Wait for the good news from Prince Wei!"

After speaking, the two smiled at each other and he strode away.

Then, Zhou Yuan broke out in a cold sweat.

It's bad. This is a fool, the kind who is stupid because of reading books.

Why would the Baishan Sect choose such a person? Is he too good at covering up?

If he doesn't make a sound, he will be shocked?

Anyway, I was shocked.

Fortunately... Fortunately, I thought more deeply, otherwise I would have been fooled.

Zhou Yuan sat quietly in the Buddhist temple and did not leave.

After a while, a tall man in black walked in quickly, and his entourage closed the door.

Footsteps were heard all around, as if someone was standing guard.

Then, the man in black looked at Zhou Yuan and said in a deep voice: "You only have one chance for an incense stick, for the sake of your thirty thousand taels of silver."

Zhou Yuan said: "I will only ask you three questions. If you think the answers satisfy you, I will turn around and leave."

The man in black said in a deep voice: "Ask."

Zhou Yuan said: "First, if I didn't come to the Western Regions, do you think you will be the Khan of Yarkand in the future?"

"Second, besides Sima Yi, who has contributed the most to this Khanate?"

"Third, at the beginning of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the King of Qianning was enfeoffed in Yunnan, and he was enfeoffed for four generations. Is this authority more important than a prince who failed to win the throne?"

Silence.

A long silence.

The man in black finally spoke: "If you don't come to the Western Regions, the Khan will be the fifth brother Huojia."

"Apart from my father, I am the one who has contributed the most to this Khanate!"

"In the end... I failed to win the throne, and I almost died. Even if I survived, I would be under house arrest for at least half my life. Well, even if the fifth brother is generous and doesn't care about me, I can never compare to the former King of Qianning of the Jin Dynasty."

Zhou Yuan said lightly: "Is this the result you want?"

The man in black was silent.

Zhou Yuan looked at him and said word by word: "Help me succeed, and you will be the King of Pingxi!"
