Yun Canglan saw Han Xuandao looking at him, smiled slightly, and continued: "And as far as we know, before General Xiao became General Shenwei, Grand Master Xiao was just the Minister of Personnel. At that time, Grand Master Ye Jingran of the Ye family... was the father of Ye Wuxun. At that time, the Xiao family was among the nine major families of Yan State. It was because Grand Master Xiao was the Minister of Personnel and had a group of direct officials trained under him, so he could barely live in the middle. Compared with the Ye family, the Wu family and even the Fan family at that time, it was not as good as that of the Ye family."

Han Xuandao stroked his beard and looked a little surprised in his eyes. The young man in front of him had a very detailed understanding of the history of Yan State, but he didn't know why he mentioned these past events at this time.

Prince Xihe also looked at Yun Canglan with a smile. It was obvious that in the prince's heart, he also appreciated this young man very much.

"The rise of the Xiao family was precisely because of Xiao Huaiyu's appearance." Yun Canglan said slowly: "When Xiao Huaiyu made great achievements in the border construction, the Xiao family members in the court also grew stronger day by day. Since then, Taishi Xiao has become the most respected minister of the monarch of the country. It is said that at that time, as long as it was a memorial submitted by Taishi Xiao, the monarch of the country would agree to it... Every time General Xiao's contribution became a springboard for the growth of the Xiao family. After Ye Jingran died, Taishi Xiao took the position of Taishi and became the chief assistant of the domestic cabinet... There was Taishi Xiao inside and Xiao Huaiyu outside. The power of the Xiao family began to reach its peak since then!"

Han Xuandao smiled and said, "Mr. Yun actually knows so much about the affairs of our Yan State. You are so terrifying to the younger generation, and you are so terrifying to the younger generation!"

Yun Canglan bowed his hand and smiled kindly: "Mr. Han has been too rewarded. However, General Xiao's light is too dazzling. He has always admired famous generals. Naturally, he knows more about such a person!"

"General Xiao... is indeed the dragon among people!" Han Xuandao sighed: "He has indeed made great contributions to my Dayan!"

Yun Canglan stared at Han Xuandao's face, looked solemn, and said slowly: "It's just... General Xiao's achievements are not too much!"

Han Xuandao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked calm, leaning on the chair, his hands clasped together, staring at Yun Canglan.

"Teacher Xiao tried every means to prevent my Daqing from forming an alliance with your country. I am not unaware of the thoughts." Yun Canglan knew in his heart that at this time, there was no need to hide it. The Qing State Mission had no time to drag on it anymore, so many things that should have been vague today were no longer mysterious, but said it calmly in this quiet room, because he knew very well that with Han Xuandao's prudence, no one else could hear what was said in this room, "He just wanted to form an alliance with Wei. Once Wei Yan formed an alliance, it would be inevitable that the use of troops to my Daqing was inevitable. The purpose of Tai Shi Xiao was to use troops to use troops to Qing... In fact, in Canglan's view, the intention of Xiao Tai Shi to use troops may not be to really want to occupy my Daqing territory, but to give General Xiao a chance to make military contributions!"

Prince Xihe nodded, while Han Xuandao sat quietly like a bell, staring at Yun Canglan without turning his eyes.

"Why did Grand Master Xiao want General Xiao to achieve military achievements? The purpose is naturally self-evident!" Yun Canglan said seriously: "Just because Grand Master Xiao gradually felt that their Xiao family seemed not as safe as before in the court of Yan State!"

Han Xuandao said lightly: "What's wrong with it? Master Xiao is still the Grand Master, and Xiao Huaiyu is still the Grand Master General... There has been no change!"

"The Xiao family has not changed, but Lord Han's clan has changed!" Yun Canglan bowed and said, "Shu Canglan is prone to the liberty. A year ago, even if I was the Qing Kingdom, I never thought that Yan would undergo such a huge change in the past year... I didn't expect that the Han tribe would be at its peak under the leadership of Lord Han. In fact, Canglan always thought that the Korean tribe was the best in the Yan Kingdom. If Lord Han could become the chief minister of the cabinet, it would be a blessing for Yan Kingdom!"

Han Xuandao smiled and said, "Mr. Yun's powerful tongue talent has already made Han admire him!"

Lord Yun looked calm and smiled faintly. He gracefully picked up the teacup on the table, tasted it, and then gently put it down, and continued: "It's just that... the Korean tribe has risen, and many talents have emerged, and they are deeply trusted by the monarch of your country. This is a celebration of congratulations, but it makes many people in your country feel uneasy and uncomfortable!"

Han Xuandao smiled and said, "If Lord Yun's words are heard by those who are uncomfortable, they will definitely make you uncomfortable!"

Yun Canglan said calmly: "Mr. Han, I will tell you that Canglan has been ready to deal with all kinds of accidents when he is on the mission to Yan State. Even if blood is splashing in Yan State, it will be a sacrifice for my Daqing. Canglan has no regrets!"

Prince Xihe sighed: "Canglan, you said it well. I have this idea in this trip!"

Han Xuandao also praised: "It is indeed a young man with both wisdom and courage. Qingguo has such a talent as you, and he is indeed worthy of being a great country in the Central Plains!"

"The old master obviously doesn't want to see Lord Han's family become his opponent." Yun Canglan smiled and said, "Lord Han's family is full of talents. I dare not say that Lord Han's brothers are outstanding people in the world. Only when he talks about Lord Han's sons and nephews, he is also amazing. Moreover, the name of the Korean clan's benevolence and righteousness is well known to everyone in Yan State, and with the valuation of the king of your country, it will take a few years to endanger Master Xiao's position as the chief minister, and Lord Han's family will also become the biggest obstacle for the Xiao family to cover the sky with only one hand...

Therefore, if Master Xiao wants to prevent such a result from happening, he can only take advantage of this opportunity to use General Xiao’s military achievements to make the people of Yan understand again that only his Xiao family can ensure peace in Yan, and only his Xiao family can make the people of Yan live and work in peace... Say Canglan nonsense, I am afraid that at that time, even the king of your country would think that Yan cannot be without his Xiao family, let alone Xiao Huaiyu…!” At this point, Yun Canglan looked at Han Xuan and asked calmly: “Canglan dared to ask, when is Lord Han going to that time?”

Han Xuandao looked calm, no longer had his previous smile, and even had a gloomy look in his eyes, and he said lightly: "My Han family is loyal to the country... General Xiao has made achievements, so his Xiao family will naturally be favored. I, Han Xuandao, are just congratulating him, so what can I do?"

Prince Xihe finally said, "Mr. Han, I also said something I shouldn't say. When that time comes, the Xiao family will be at its peak and be full of aura. I am afraid that the achievements made by the Han clan will be destroyed in an instant..." He stared at Han Xuan and said word by word: "The proud Master Xiao, I am afraid that the Han clan will continue to be glorious, right?"

Han Xuandao sighed, "Prince, Lord Yun, the words of the two today are gone. If it were someone else, I would have thought you were here to sow discord and get rid of the harmony of my ministers in Dayan!" A cold light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and he looked directly at Yun Canglan with a sneer on his lips: "Mr. Yun, when he first met you, Han was really surprised to know that you were the general commander of the police camp in Beijing. But now it seems that the monarch of your country really has a keen eye to recognize people... With Master Yun's talent, it is more than enough to sit in the position of General Commander of the Police Camp... It's like watching the fire, it's indeed a young talent. But... Han has a sentence today that really wants to persuade you!"

Yun Canglan bowed and said, "But please give me advice!"

"The sharpness is too obvious...it's easy to break!" Han Xuandao sighed softly: "Mr. Yun, if the negotiations between you and us fail, I will send someone to kill you first... You are so young, scheming but so deep, and have such unique vision. If you go in a few years, you will be the Qing people who are the most threatening to my Dayan, besides Shang Zhongli... Such a person becomes the enemy of my Dayan, and that is necessary!"

Yun Canglan was calm and smiled and said, "Fortunately, we are not enemies now. Canglan also hopes...we will never be enemies!"

Han Xuandao smiled faintly and finally said, "I understand what you said. Since it is said that, Lord Yun, what do you want Han to do, just say it!"

Yun Canglan stood up, bowed deeply to Han Xuandao, and then stood firm. Yushu was in the wind, but his expression became serious and said seriously: "Mr. Han, Canglan understands that Wei State has failed to reach an agreement with your country as he wished. That is because Lord Han is trying hard to withstand. No matter why Lord Han is doing, Canglan thanked me here." After a pause, he continued: "Your country has Grand Master Xiao to interfere. It is not easy for me to form a smooth alliance with your country. Moreover, every day, not to mention the loss of borders, it is just that the memorial of the censors in Daqing floated into the palace like snowflakes. After a long time, as the prince said today, we would probably have no chance to talk about it. So Canglan felt that this fact should not be delayed anymore... Lord Han and Grand Master Xiao were in stalemate. Canglan thought that to break such a deadlock, one person must come forward!"

Han Xuandao frowned, as if he had guessed something, but asked: "You mean?"

"Emperor Yan of your country!" Yun Canglan said seriously: "At this time, the intention of the monarch of your country may change the current predicament. Therefore, Canglan begs Lord Han to arrange for Canglan to meet with Emperor Yan!"

Han Xuandao frowned and didn't say anything for a moment.

"As long as we can meet Emperor Yan, Canglan is willing to persuade Yan State to form an alliance with me Daqing with his perfect tongue!" Yun Canglan said confidently.

Prince Xihe immediately said: "Mr. Han, if I can arrange for Canglan to meet Emperor Yan, I will definitely have a heavy reply!"

Han Xuandao pondered for a moment and finally said, "This matter... I will do my best to arrange it."

In fact, Han Xuandao also knew very well that the Han clan sect now have different goals from the Xiao clan sect. If you continue to talk like this, you will talk for another three or five months, and I am afraid there will be no progress.

There must be a way to break this deadlock.

Yun Canglan came today, undoubtedly because he found the right solution. The key now is really with the emperor.

Although Han Xuandao vaguely felt that the emperor seemed to intend to form an alliance with Qing Kingdom, the royal family had not clearly expressed their attitude, which made Han Xuandao unable to determine the emperor's true thoughts.

If Yun Canglan is really the stepping stone to knock on the emperor, if the emperor is still hesitating, then Yun Canglan will definitely be able to play a huge role. As long as Yun Canglan is really capable of convincing the emperor, the current deadlock will be solved.

...

After seeing off Prince Xihe and Yun Canglan, Han Xuandao immediately asked him to go to the Minister of Rites' Mansion to call Han Xuanchang. The two brothers sat down in the inner room, and Han Xuandao briefly said what happened today.

"Brother, the people of Wei also went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion tonight." Han Xuanchang frowned and said, "Are they also thinking about tricks? The old fox is cunning. Shouldn't he have any ideas for the people of Wei?"

Han Xuandao sneered: "He has gained a lot of benefits from the people of Wei. I want to see what other tricks they have to play!"

Han Xuanchang said softly: "Brother, with the cunning old fox, he should also know that the key now is the priest... Will they also move their minds to the priest?"

"Yes!" Han Xuandao nodded and said, "No matter what tricks they play, they will definitely follow this path. Now I am just worried that the emperor will not be able to withstand the conditions of the Wei people!"

"condition?"

"Xuanchang, the Wei people are mostly minerals and war horses." Han Xuandao sneered: "Don't think our emperor doesn't think anything. After the Ye and Wu families were executed, Zhao Xiqiao was not idle in Bozhou County... The several officials we had been in the hands of Su Guanya were all dismissed by Zhao Xiqiao... The Ministry of Personnel was in the hands of Su Guanya. The dismissal memorial made by Zhao Xiqiao, which was to be accurate. Zhao Xiqiao was not stupid. He kept several officials sent by Su Guanya, who deliberately showed kindness to Su Guanya, with the purpose of using Su Guanya's hands to get rid of other foreign officials... Then Zhao Xiqiao looked for evidence of removal, and Su Guanya happily sat in the yamen to indicate the dismissal memorial... Now, except for the several officials who Su Guanya's incoming, other important officials in Bozhou County are all direct officials of the royal family...!"

Han Xuanchang sighed: "Zhao Xiqiao is a stubborn person. It is extremely difficult to win him over!"

Han Xuandao said coldly: "Zhao Xiqiao recruits soldiers... Hehe, that's obviously what the emperor means. Now the city guards of the two cities in Bozhou County have nearly 10,000 people... but they are simply equipped. The army of ten thousand people is another sharp blade in the hands of the emperor. If the Wei people propose conditions and give a large number of war horses and weapons to our emperor, they can just equip his army in Bozhou County...!" Speaking of this, Han Xuandao looked at Han Xuanchang with a very strange look, "Do you think our emperor can withstand such conditions?"

Han Xuanchang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother, I don't think so!"

"oh?"

"The Wei people are now going to attack Qing State, but I am afraid they are still short of war horses and weapons!" Han Xuanchang said slowly: "Brother negotiated with the Wei people and proposed to send 5,000 war horses. The Wei people could not agree. It can be seen that the Wei people did not have too many war horses to send them as conditions... Then I think I wouldn't be too generous to the emperor, right?"

Han Xuandao nodded slightly: "You make sense. But... things in the world are unpredictable. Perhaps the emperor's appetite is not that big. One or two thousand war horses can change his intentions... Alas, who knows?" He glanced at Han Xuanchang, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yes, I haven't seen Xiaowu these days, what are he busy with?"

Han Xuanchang frowned, pondered for a while, and then said, "Xiao Wu... went to Fengguo?"

When Han Xuandao heard this, his expression immediately became cold: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's been a few days. It's just that my elder brother is busy with negotiations every day, so he didn't tell you."

"What did he do in Fengguo?"

"Inquiry into some things." Han Xuanchang said: "I heard that the Feng Kingdom is in chaos, so Mo'er asked for an order and went to Feng Kingdom to see what happened in person!"

Han Xuandao looked gloomy and looked at Han Xuanchang coldly. After a long time, he said coldly: "If he comes back, let him come to see me quickly... Even if there is something big, he must come to see me immediately!"

Han Xuanchang felt uncomfortable by Han Xuandao's eyes, but he nodded and said, "Brother, I understand!"
