The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 34: Appeasing Nian Gengyao

Seeing that the Tenth Master cared so much about him, Nian Gengyao was moved beyond words and stood up and was about to say something.

Li Yan held Nian Gengyao's hand and said with a serious face: "Go! Follow Fourth Brother wholeheartedly and work hard. He is a practical man. Explain to him clearly that although you are a talented person, I have no intention of poaching Fourth Brother's talent or creating conflicts."

"But, Liang Gong, remember, no matter what time, you are Qiuyue's brother, and also my brother!"

This sentence is equivalent to hinting to Nian Gengyao that you follow Lao Si first, not to let you be an undercover, not to let you tip off, and not to make things difficult for you. If Lao Si's ship capsizes at that time, I will still accept you. I give you this opportunity to bet on both sides. Don't worry about me. I have Qiuyue here. What are you afraid of? You will come back sooner or later.

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!"

Nian Gengyao was moved. He thought that the Tenth Master was truly thinking about him and was only concerned about his own interests, so he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and spoke from the bottom of his heart.

After seeing Nian Gengyao off, Li Yan thought silently that he was currently weak.

Longkodo was still easy to deal with, as he had a backer who was no less powerful than himself, and no one dared to move rashly. However, Nian Gengyao had no background, and if he followed him, he would not only be envied by the fourth prince, but also the crown prince and the eighth prince would not be able to find trouble with him and would keep an eye on Nian Gengyao. Everyone knew that Nian Qiuyue was his concubine, and Nian Gengyao was transferred to the capital because of his praise, which meant that he was his own man.

If anything happened to Nian Gengyao, he would still be implicated, and he would not be able to hide in the mansion and bide his time. The only solution now was to hand him over to the fourth brother, and let the fourth brother protect him from the wind and rain. As for whether the fourth brother would have a grudge against him, that was not something he could control.

The fourth brother is now in a state of disgrace. Nian Gengyao's visit to him as a disciple is like timely help. Moreover, he has transferred him from the local area to the capital, so he can be regarded as a useful person. Will the fourth brother be willing to push him to his side?

Without Li Wei, Lao Wu and others, the Fourth Brothers' power is now even weaker, and this is when they need manpower.

Let's put Nian Gengyao's affairs aside.
Thinking of Nian Qiuyue who had just arrived, Li Yan smiled happily and went to the backyard with a smile on his face.

Several months passed in a flash. During this time, Li Yan stayed in the mansion with nothing to do. He spent the whole day with his four wives, Borjigit Huining, Guo Luoluo Wanlin, Wang Jiayue and Nian Qiuyue.

Li Yan is so happy that he doesn't want to leave his homeland, and enjoys all the blessings of having many wives!
Huining is like a blooming lily, elegant and noble; Wanlin is like a bunch of roses, gorgeous and passionate; Jiayue is the lilac in the valley, quiet and leisurely; Qiuyue is like a lotus on the lake, tall and graceful.

The four beauties, each with their own characteristics, accompanied Li Yan day and night, making him almost forget the struggles in the court and the right and wrong in the capital. During this period, Li Yan took turns staying in the rooms of the ladies. Except for his favorite wife, Borjigit, he treated the other three ladies equally, without any special preference.

Although he has many wives, Li Yan does not think it is a trouble. Instead, he enjoys it. Every girl is a unique flower, with her own characteristics and beauty!

Li Yan savors the difference of each flower
When facing each lady, Li Yan would try his best to make them feel his affection and love. With Li Yan's careful coordination, the barriers between them no longer existed, and their relationship became much more harmonious. They would visit each other from time to time, and their sisterly love became deep.

Jin Huining and Qiuyue became pregnant one after another. Li Yan fell into great joy and enjoyed this wonderful life just like Jia Baoyu staying in the Grand View Garden.

She was oblivious to the affairs outside the palace, and her heart was only on the cosmetics! In her spare time, she would read books, go fishing, practice Tai Chi, which she had seen in later generations, and talk about the past and present with Lao Wu.

Thinking about his college entrance examination, Li Yan also found a British missionary to teach him English.

The two-tone glasses were just for emergencies. The teachers and classmates at school all knew my grades. I had no hope of getting into the top three, but suddenly I was admitted to Kyoto University. Isn't this very strange? Anyone would be suspicious.

If someone raises an objection, he will be exposed if you just test yourself.

You also need to improve your own strength!
If conditions did not allow it, I would have liked to catch up on several subjects. In this world, there are more than ten years, and you can learn anything.

I just need to study English first. I believe that with the help of British missionaries, I will be able to master English completely.

In fact, if you have the chance, you can learn Japanese, French, etc. They will be useful sooner or later anyway.

Nian Gengyao and Longkodo came to visit him every now and then. Although the emperor asked him to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors, he did not explicitly forbid others from visiting him. Li Yan was able to learn some things about the court from them.

Especially Longkodo, after being promoted to Shuntian Prefecture Governor, he repaired his relationship with his uncle Tong Guowei, and Tong Guowei often explained some of the situation in the court to Xiao Duozi. Tong Guowei had a keen eye and naturally observed the situation in the court very well. Xiao Duozi told him all these without reservation, and then asked Lao Wu to analyze them for him.

Although Li Yan stayed in the mansion, he could clearly understand the developments in the court.

Surprisingly, after hearing the news brought by Nian Gengyao, the Fourth Master did not have any grudge against Nian Gengyao for marrying his sister to him. He readily accepted Nian Gengyao's loyalty and instead told Nian Gengyao with understanding that he could interact normally with the Tenth Master. After all, he was his brother-in-law, and normal interactions with him were human nature and there was no need to be shy about anything.

Li Yan told Old Wu about this doubt, and Old Wu laughed and said, "Master Shi is a person who is in a difficult position and is confused by the situation!"

"What do you mean? I hope you can give me some advice!" Li Yan looked pleading.

"The Fourth Prince is quite talented. Nian Gengyao is his man. If he becomes estranged from him because he married his sister to the prince, it would be like alienating him from the sect and pushing a capable general to your side. Isn't this a bargain for you? He will not do such a thing that will do more harm than good. In addition, he might even be thinking whether he can use the relationship between the Nian brothers and sisters to pull the Tenth Prince into his camp."

"After all, after the disaster relief work in Jiangnan, the position of the Tenth Master in the Emperor's heart and his influence in the court are no longer the same as when he was following the Eighth Prince. Those princes who want to seize the throne are all trying to win over the Tenth Master. The Tenth Master can now be aloof and wait for marriage."

"Besides, even if we can't win over the Tenth Lord, with this relationship, Nian Gengyao's frequent trips back and forth will also make the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince suspicious. We can not only recruit a useful person, but also create a rift between the Tenth Lord and the Eighth Prince. Why not do it!"

Wu Sidao had a confident look on his face, and Li Yan felt both admiration and jealousy. When would he be able to be like Old Wu, a scholar who knew everything about the world without leaving home, and was able to win battles thousands of miles away by making plans?
Luckily I have a cheat, otherwise I would have been killed by these people!
