Chapter Nine: Empress Yin Yang (2)
Meng Yan was wearing a hat and fishing leisurely by the river. In the pavilion behind him, Gu Qingfeng was focusing on cooking tea, Yan Que on the outside was arranging defense, Xue Chen, who was accompanying him, lowering his head and whispering to Meng Yan.
What.
"This little girl is quite brave. It's a pity for Feng You. His life is amazing. Is Wanshu still in Kaifeng?" Meng Yan said casually.
"Your Highness the Princess went to Wancheng, and General Shi Zun set up the camp there. He said Nanyang City was unlucky." Xue Chen said with a smile.
"This kid is so good at fortune telling? He is so silly every day. Send someone to tell Wanshu that she has arrived in Jiangxia and that the person who is about to get married should calm down." Meng Yan said with a face pulled.
Meng Yan can talk about his children at will, but Xue Chen dared not discuss the princess. Deng Ang and Shi Zun are the most favored among their second-generation children, especially Deng Ang has the qualifications to be a minister.
, although it is only temporary.
After listening to Meng Yan complaining, he finally transferred a river fish and let Xue Chen leave. Gu Qingfeng looked up at Xue Chen's back and said angrily: "You are really, you are such a cheerful child who is fucked by you."
I have to dare not speak!"
"This kid is too active. I'm beating him. Yan Lan will inherit An Can's position in the future. Xue Chen will be released sooner or later, but his temperament is too unstable. It's not as good as Jing Mu. Take this opportunity to improve.
Take a look at his ability." Meng Yan responded to Gu Qingfeng while counting the fish in the barrel.
"Do they, the second generation of children, think Jing Mu can be the independent army in the future? What do you think?"
Meng Yan nodded in agreement and said, "Jing Mu is different from his father. This kid is smart and has good literary culture. His martial arts have also improved with Marshal Ye in recent years, but he lacks experience in the battle.
Need to be trained.”
"They are second-generation disciples of my Daxuan Dynasty, but they are third-generation generals. Shi Zun and Deng Ang's position is a bit high, so this will make Xuan Song and the others have some opinions. General Xuan came to Shi Zun yesterday
Appointment is somewhat unpleasant."
"It's okay, Xuan Song and his team have won too many battles over the years, and they are a little bit arrogant. I don't want them to become the next quartz. The activation of Shi Zun just makes them feel a sense of crisis." Meng Yan said indifferently.
"Since you have this intention, let Xuan Song and the others have more contact with Jing Yan. Being close to the prince will not cause too much dissatisfaction with you." Gu Qingfeng said with a slightly serious look on his head.
"There is no need to be too deliberate. Whether it is Xuan Song or Shi Zun, they are of the same age. The communication between young people is different from those of you and me. Let them make trouble for themselves. I just regret Quartz and Lu Ping.
One of these two men was defeated by underestimating the enemy and was unable to recover; the other was thinking too much and scaring himself to death." Meng Yan said that the two men were a little unhappy.
"Forget it, don't be angry. Don't think about how many living people accompany you to fight the country. Jin Shuai left two years ago. Zhuo Gong's health is getting worse day by day. It's hard to say how long Qing Shuai can last now
Marshal Ye is in good health, but he is awake every day, that is, Quartz and Lu Ping are still useful. In the future, the Grand Governor's Office always needs someone to take charge, and I really hope that Da Xi Qianbi can do it.
What happened?" Gu Qingfeng sighed while persuading.
Just as the Meng couple was studying the future, Xiao Yu from Jinling had just sent Quan Xi away, and looked unhappy. Quan Xi was too ignorant and even acted like an emperor.
"Your Majesty, Quan Xi cannot move for the time being, please don't get angry." Duanmuyang quickly dissuaded Xiao Yu from the idea of killing people. He just made the transition smoothly in Youji and others. At this time, killing Quan Xi is not worth the loss.
"Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility, otherwise I wouldn't let him go back. Beimu has watched our civil strife in the Central Plains in recent years and has been strengthening himself. This time, let Quan Xi go back to change these contradictions. Zhu Mu's family has been
Meng Yan's fight was almost gone. Nanyue is probably the puppet of my aunt now. The only forces outside the Central Plains are Donghai and Beimu, so they have to fight."
Xiao Yu suppressed his anger. Since Xiahou Ying's death, his temper has become increasingly difficult to suppress. Only Duanmuyang can occasionally persuade him. After all, Duanmuyang is the only one who started with Xiao Yu, and Duanmuyang's character is
And loyalty are worthy of guarantee.
"Your Majesty, Quan Qing is afraid that she will succeed to the throne and become the emperor in the near future. It is ridiculous to think about it. Zhong Roulan, who has always wanted to be the empress, has not ascended the throne for a long time. She can only control the Chu Dynasty under the title of the empress dowager. Who would have thought of Quan?
Qing, the little girl, actually wanted to take the lead. I wonder what Zhong Sanniang thought?" Seeing that Xiao Yu's emotions eased, she quickly changed the topic and asked Xiao Yu to change his mind.
"Since people want to be emperor, we must join in the fun. Tell Teng Han, and he said that his Majesty likes to take a bath in the Beitianchi Hot Spring, to see if he, the general, has any means, and let Yu Qingwu find Meng Yan by the way.
Please give me some trouble. Hasn't he arrived in Jiangxia recently? Let him move." Xiao Yu's smile became colder.
"Old minister obeys the order, but there is the Poyang Lake?" Duanmuyang didn't know how to evaluate this order. The Poyang war was already a useless battlefield, and both sides were exhausted.
"Don't worry, just keep the confrontation. Zhong Sanniang has no intention of fighting now. With Poyang Lake as the boundary, everyone will be at peace for the time being. Who makes everyone's eyes now be on the little girl in Luochen City?
"Xiao Yu said with confidence.
"Chu Cheng has already entered the Political Affairs Hall. What is his Majesty meant to let him take charge of the specific affairs?" Chu Cheng's placement in Duanmuyang's heart is the most important thing. As Duanmuyang, as the political affairs hall, he is relative to his own management issues.
Some troublesome.
"Chu Cheng asked him to manage the Ministry of Revenue. Tushan's people have also been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue recently. In addition, Pei Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, let them find a way to enrich the treasury of our Daning Dynasty. In the fight against Poyang, fight
One quarter of the treasury has been empty."
Duanmuyang didn't say anything anymore. This arrangement is reasonable. Money is the basic guarantee for a country's survival. Since the civil strife in the Central Plains, too much money and food have been lost. For example, after Meng Yan took over Chengdu, the process of going north was much slower. One reason is that
The rebellion of aliens in the southwest and the number of mountains is large, people's livelihood is unstable. Second, the front line is too long and there are too many soldiers raised. The food and grass cannot support long-term combat. Compared with other three countries, Daxuan is the most durable war, so
Most of them focus on fast combat, and their generals are more inclined to fight quickly.
Chu Cheng and Pei Xin are both veterans in the court, so it is not a problem to coordinate this aspect. The Tushan clan has not received much courtesy since he surrendered to Daning. This time it happened to be an opportunity to use the energy of their Tushan clan.
Xiao Yu's gift was ready, Zhong Roulan couldn't sit still in Yuzhang. The court officials were determined to be the emperor before Quan Qing succeeded to the throne. Once Quan Qing got the first move, Da Chu was in the name of the title.
The price was reduced, and Zhong Roulan was no longer the little girl she used to be.
"Murong, what are the dynamics of those people in Yuzhang City?" Zhong Roulan asked with a frown.
"Those people are waiting. The Chong family's power has been cleaned up by us. We will wait for your determination." Murong Changfeng has been waiting for Zhongrou Lang's ascendance to the throne as emperor for a long time.
These old people's patience is almost exhausted.
Zhong Roulan breathed a sigh of relief and said quietly: "I inform Song Xiang and start doing it. Murong Rang Luantai people are always staring at Luo Chen. If we do things in advance, let our people do whatever they want.
Stop it, this Central Plains Empress can only be me!"
Murong Changfeng smiled. It was a long time since he saw Zhong Roulan like this. Since he became enemies with Meng Yan, Zhong Roulan has become much more depressed. Such a heroic look has come back, and the brothers have hope again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Murong Changfeng increased his accent of the word "Your Majesty" and then continued: "Even if Quan Qing wants to be emperor tomorrow, I will make her cry tonight!"
"Murong, I'm so old, where did you get such a heroic spirit? I just took the lead by proclaiming emperor. The pressure from the Meng family and Xiao family is still huge. It is still impossible to determine whether to go north or west next step."
Lan decided to become emperor and thought about the difficulties she faced and was worried.
"In this matter, everyone's eyes tend to move westward or go south." Murong Changfeng said with caution.
"Going west? Humph! Do they think they live long? Do they really think Meng Yan is a clay sculpture?" Zhong Roulan was surprised by the choice of her minister.
"They thought Yeling and Zhaonan were an opportunity, and they would not say that Song Xiang was not a vegetarian. Emperor Xuan had plans to let him stay in the southern part of Daxuan for a long time. It was really difficult for our dynasty to find apart from General Tang.
Yu Geng’s opponent.”
Speaking of this, Zhong Roulan fell into deep thought, and then said: "Du Heng came from Daxuan. After so many years of tests, he can see that he is loyal enough. Please call him over and let him station in Poyang, so that Tang Yuan can't bear too much.
.”
"General Tang has not been in good health in the past two years. Zhuo Xun's ability is not enough to deal with the two armies opposite Poyang. Du Heng is suitable." Murong Changfeng did not doubt Du Heng's ability, but he always doubted Du Heng's unpredictable intentions.
However, I have not discovered any problems with Du Heng and the entire Du family over the years.
"Well, go and plan carefully. We still have many big things to do and we are optimistic about those old guys. I know what they are thinking. Meng Yan is right. The aristocratic family is the fundamental factor that harms the government. They want to re-enforce them.
Establishing a system where aristocratic families control the court is a delusion!”
"Who is it?! Who is it?! Why are you always causing trouble for this palace? This is the case with Xijing and Luo Chen! Come and tell me what to do?!" Quan Qing pointed at Ruan Feng in the hall and asked.
Ruan Feng was also helpless. He didn't understand what was wrong. Although the problem of Xijing was directed to the alien races in the Western Regions, this time it was obviously for the throne ceremony, and this job was impossible to do.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, so I'll ask your master to punish him." It's really embarrassing to be pointed at the nose and scolded him like this.
When Quan Qing heard that Ruan Feng was about to resign, he panicked. No matter what, Liuli Pavilion was the only spy in his hands. It was too late to re-establish a spy organization, and Ruan Feng was qualified most of the time.
"Mr. Ruan, this is not what I mean. Look at the fact that from Xijing to Luochen, our territory is already airtight on all sides, and those people do whatever they want!"
Ruan Feng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the ceremony of the throne must be postponed, and all unsafe factors will cause big trouble."
Quan Qing paced in the hall and finally said, "Then let it be postponed. You are right, and re-establish the defense line."
Just when Quan Qing decided to postpone the ascension of the throne, all officials of the Great Chu wrote a letter to ask the Empress Dowager Zhongroulan to ascend the throne. After three requests, Zhongroulan was very reluctant to ascend the throne to the emperor. All the court officials were rewarded and changed the reign of Chuyang, which is known in history.
"Chuyang Empress".
Quan Qing in Luochen City immediately succeeded to the throne as emperor, but did not change the reign. He was known in history as the "Minister of Ming Wu". In September of the same year, Xiao Yu claimed to be orthodox and established the Yuan Dynasty as "Jinghe".
