Chapter 66 The Butterfly Effect

When Yan Hongyuan was still a long way from the palace gate, he walked off the carriage and took Su Jinsheng along the shade of the roadside to Hening Gate. In the distance, there was the lush Phoenix Mountain and the tall red palace wall connected to the foot of Phoenix Mountain.

As soon as the two of them walked to the near Hening Gate, they saw a man who looked like a eunuch standing at the vermilion gate, so they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

Wang Deqian reached out to ask for help, and then Yan Hongyuan followed Wang Deqian's footsteps. Su Jinsheng stayed in place, stood under the shade of the tree, looked at the Phoenix Mountain in the distance, and then looked at the red palace wall in front of him, which was as majestic and towering as the Great Wall in the north.

"We believe that it was not your Yan Man Wai who asked someone to do it, but this matter is very important, and it is related to the peaceful relationship between the imperial court and the Jin people in the north. Our family has also heard that the Jin people who ambushed the eldest lady yesterday were killed by your guards, so this makes people have to suspect that the Yan family is taking revenge. But..."

Wang Deqian looked at the worried Yan Hongyuan who was about to explain, and stood still, reached out and pressed Yan Hongyuan's arm that was raised on his chest, and continued, "But don't worry, Mr. Yan, the palace has already spoken. This matter has nothing to do with your Yan Mansion, and will not take his anger on Yan Mansion because of this. But... you have to hurry up what our family told you yesterday, and separate the family. As long as the nobles in the palace speak for you, your royal merchant's hat is still stable? Yesterday, our family didn't point out some things to you, but today there have been so many things, and our family is not afraid to tell the truth to you. Your Highness Gong was hired by the Supreme Emperor to be the daughter of Li Dao, the Minister of Works, as Princess Gong. It is probably going to be married in three months. This is a great event for my Song Dynasty, so your silk, fabric, etc. are extremely delayed."

Wang Deqian said, and Yan Hongyuan next to him nodded repeatedly, but another meaning that Wang Deqian did not say was that the Jin envoy was stabbed, whether it was the Supreme Emperor or the Emperor, who chose to settle the matter and would rather compensate, was entirely for the wedding of His Highness Gong in March or half a year later.

Neither Emperor Zhao Xing nor Emperor Zhao Gou wanted to have friction with the Jin Kingdom at this time, nor did he want to continue to focus on peace talks.

Of course, Yan Hongyuan was just a small merchant, and Wang Deqian would not tell him about these major events in the palace, but if it were Wang Huai or Tang Situi, Wang Deqian would naturally tell them why the emperor and the emperor chose to calm the affairs and even compromise.

After Yan Hongyuan thanked Wang Deqian for his advice, he focused on business matters. Naturally, the sheep horn lantern sent to the palace today is easy to use or not. Whether you like it or not, it depends on the attitude in the palace. If the palace does not like it, then even if this sheep horn lantern is popular among the people, its value will be greatly reduced.

Wang Deqian nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I tried it, it's really good. Today, our family will light up those lanterns in the palace of the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor. There should be no mistakes. What's even more commendable is that the embellishments outside the lanterns are also well made, and it should be congratulated by Yan Yuanwai."

"In this way, there will be a noble person in the fortunate way. I hope that the noble person in the future can ignore Yan's stupidity and continue to give advice." Yan Hongyuan bowed and bowed, but the silver notes that he wanted to stuff out today were pushed back quietly by Wang Deqian.

Then he smiled and said to Yan Hongyuan: "I have done my job for the emperor. The benefit of our family taking over Yan Shiwai is imminent. It is a matter of three or two months, which is just a blink of an eye. So Yan Shiwai, you must understand the anxiety in our family."

"Yes, yes, Yan is abrupt. Don't worry, Zhong Guiren. No matter what happens, Yan will definitely give Zhong Guiren an explanation within two months." Yan Hongyuan said with a smile, then looked at Wang Deqian bowing, and then walked in quickly from the tall and majestic He Ning gate side door.

After waiting for a long time to close the side door, Yan Hongyuan took Su Jinsheng and walked towards the direction of the carriage with great worries. The road outside the palace wall was not very lively. Because there was a patrol in front of the palace, no one would think of coming here when they were fine. Although the Tian family did not require these, the people were still unwilling to wander here without any trouble.

Therefore, on the spacious and flat stone road, the shade is rich and quiet and elegant, and only the occasional sound of carriage wheels passing by is heard in my ears.

Yan Hongyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked very thoughtful all the way. Su Jinsheng, who was sitting in the carriage with him, wanted to ask questions again and again, but after opening his mouth several times, he looked at Yan Hongyuan as if he was absent-minded and worried, and then held the words he wanted to ask tightly in his stomach.

Yan Hongyuan lifted up the curtains from time to time and looked outside the carriage. When he passed by the slanting wind and drizzle building, four words appeared in his heart, a place of right and wrong.

At the same time, he frowned and began to smile bitterly in his heart. He didn't know what was going on. Judging from the signs of all this, the great foundation he had made with one hand was about to decline, but by chance, it seemed that it was all tied to the imperial guard who had been hired for a few days.

"Is it success or failure? It's all here to kill you." Yan Hongyuan sighed and suddenly said in the quiet carriage.

"master……."

"It's okay, yesterday's incident almost destroyed the Yan family in an instant. Fortunately, my Yan family has always been sitting upright, and with the support of the nobles in the palace, it has been considered as a waste of danger. But at present, the requirements for silk and fabric in this palace are getting higher and higher. So, whether our Yan family can still sit firmly on the imperial merchant seat depends on the difficulties we can overcome this time." Yan Hongyuan patted his thigh heavily, and another radiant ignited in his heart.

"I believe that the master will be able to lead the Yan family to escape danger and let our Yan family stay firmly in the first place in the imperial merchants." Su Jinsheng smiled, not quite understanding why Yan Hongyuan suddenly seemed to be back when he was young, with a high spirit and courage to fight.

"I'm old, it's not like that of the past. This person has to accept his old age. By the way, from now on, we must treat those imperial guards well, especially those imperial guards, Ye Qing, who must treat them with courtesy and must not be neglected. It's hard to say that he is the life-saving straw for our Yan family." When he got off the car, Yan Hongyuan who stopped Su Jinsheng in front of the Yan Mansion, and said to Su Jinsheng solemnly.
