On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, Xiao Zhan, the King of Ji in Daning, captured Pukou Town, and then Xiao Ye ordered the Changsun clan of Yingzhou in Daning, and the left pacification envoy of Huai Zuo Qing to launch a joint attack on Jinling.

Prince Anjian of Donghai realized that things were troublesome this time and wanted to retreat along the coastline. Who would have thought that the navy under Teng Han's jurisdiction blocked the coast, the Songjiang coast was also blocked by Daxuan, and the people of Donghai were killed.

The soldiers of Zhonganhe Island and Jiudao jointly launched an army change against Prince An Jian, and tied up Prince An Jian to surrender at the west gate of Jinling. At this point, the war in the Central Plains was basically over. What is amazing is that the person who accepted the surrender of Jinling was not Xiao.

Ye, but King Ji Xiao Zhan.

"Ye'er is very steady and knows how to make choices. The honor of this last battle was voluntarily given to Xiao Zhan." Xiao Yu said with satisfaction holding the document in his hand.

"I'm afraid King Ji has defected to King Ying, do Your Majesty still feel happy?" Zhong Roulan reminded.

"It's okay, I have sent the prince back to Jinling to prepare first, and then fully accept the surrender ceremony. As for King Ying, I have worked hard in the past few years and made great contributions. I have decided to let him stay in Luochen and add King Cining to the country's name."

"The country's name is given, you are so courageous. You are going to watch your son start a war!" Zhong Roulan said contemptuously.

"You don't have to say that you are so sarcastic. There is an old man Zhong in the battle of the four islands of the East China Sea. Do you know who it is?"

"Your Majesty can say it out if you have any advice. There is no need for us to speak so elegantly. I am also curious. Who is this Mr. Zhong?" Zhong Roulan guessed roughly who that person was. In addition to him, Meng Yan, the people of Zhong family were also there.

He will not be left to give him a heavy responsibility.

"Zhongfan!"

"So what? Zhongfan was originally the second brother's senior brother. His whereabouts were unknown, and he was likely to be captured by his second brother. His second brother has always been kind and old-fashioned. What's wrong with Zhongfan serving in the Xuan Army?"

Although Zhong Roulan guessed it, she was somewhat unhappy. She was not unhappy with Zhongfan's betrayal, but with Meng Yan's ability to influence people's hearts.

In Hanyang City, Meng Yan and Gu Qingfeng surrounded the stove, eating mutton in a small pot of clear soup and drinking green plum wine. The emperor and the empress got along well like a folk couple.

"Qilang, the war in the Central Plains has ended. Yu Qingyu's army is in trouble on the north bank, do you still plan to talk about it again?" Gu Qingfeng asked.

"Talk, this is not what I want to talk about, it is Xiao Yu who wants to talk about. I understand what he wants to do, it is just to consolidate Luo Chen's status."

"Are you going to talk in person?"

Meng Yan shook his head, took a sip of wine and smashed his mouth and said, "What am I doing? I plan to set off for Xiangyang the next day. Tan Ji is waiting for me there. Luo Chen can't let him take it so easily.

”

Gu Qingfeng raised his eyebrows. Since Meng Yan was not attracted by Xiao Yu, the two armies are now confronting along the river. The only place where the war is possible is Dahe Zhucheng, and the first ones must be Nanyang and Luo Chen.

"Well, I won't go with you this time. There are many things after the war. Many families have lost their husbands and children. I have to try my best to comfort them. I also ask you to invite the Shangguo County Duke to the palace tomorrow.

”

Gu Qingfeng is indeed more concerned about the post-war comfort. After many years of war, nine out of ten families in the Central Plains were empty. Even though Daxuan has been stabilizing the development of people's livelihood, the emptiness of the national treasury is already in front of him. Tushan's help in rewarding the army.

"Qingfeng, take out all the money in the royal warehouse. We don't need much. You take the lead in spending money, and those big families and merchants will also pay, which can relieve the pressure.

Tu Shan Yinyuan has been having trouble for him over the years. Just so happened that the title given to him by Haitangyuan has also been given, and it is also a reward for giving him together tomorrow." Meng Yan was a little embarrassed when he spoke.

"The account ban? Is it too early now?" Gu Qingfeng asked inquired.

Meng Yan shook his head and said, "It's not too early. After the war is over, a major reward will be carried out. Those who provide food, grass and military funds are not qualified to rating, so! Take this opportunity to set their reward first.

It won't look abrupt at that time, nor will it feel cold."

Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "You are still thoughtful. Indeed, they are not qualified to participate in the rating according to the rules set by the state. It is right to give them the privileges of your emperor. I am stupid."

"Come on less, I can give him a title just a false title. What you, the queen, give is affordable. If you can give more, give more. Rules are for restraining villains, not for the cold-hearted people.

.”

Emperor Daxuan’s thoughts were completely different from those of Emperor Daning’s thoughts, so they also had different views on everyone in front of the army.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty did it intentionally, so you don't have to be sad." The emperor's holy order surprised Xiao Ye very much. Chu Cheng knew what Xiao Yu meant, but it was not easy to comment on the emperor's actions, so he could only comfort him.

"I thought I would understand me so much, but what about it? Haha, Tian Family! Born in Tian Family, alas!" Xiao Ye was a little discouraged at this moment.

"Your Highness must not think so. Your Majesty is also trying to worry about how you and the prince should deal with it. If you preside over the surrender ceremony, the prince's identity will be equivalent to being deposed. Your Majesty's title of King Qing has already given more court officials before.

guess."

"Does the talented person and capable person have to be treated like this? What will the ministers of the Daning court think? What do you those who follow me think?" Xiao Ye felt a bad mood suddenly.

Chu Cheng was shocked after hearing this, and waved his head slightly and whispered: "Your Highness! No! You can't say such words anymore!"

Xiao Ye was embarrassed, then calmed down and said to Chu Cheng: "Little Wang is reckless! Thank you for your reminder!"

"Well, Your Highness, it's not impossible for Luo Chen to stay. Xijing is still in the hands of General Gan and General Ming. As long as you manage Luo Chen well, if you have the opportunity to pacify the river, the military and political affairs of the western part of Daning are all in your hands.

.” Chu Cheng encouraged.

Xiao Ye thought for a while and then said cautiously: "Carewell, I have a word, please don't pass it on to Liu Er!"

Chu Cheng was stunned, a little alert, and said, "Your Highness, please!"

"I am trying to unify the world, clear the haze, and restore the world's clear and clear light. If I were just a vassal king, I would not want to."

Chu Cheng's heart trembled. It's been a long time since I saw such a person. This road is not easy to walk like this.

Chu Cheng said without hesitation: "Your Highness, the old minister is willing to clear the obstacles for you!"

Xiao Ye stretched out his hand, Chu Cheng was stunned, and then his palms hit each other to reach an agreement.

"Captain Chu, the first thing I faced after staying in Luo Chen was Nanyang. I heard that Daxuan sent Tan Ji to Nanyang. What do you think we should do?" As soon as the agreement was completed, we have to consider the future.

"Your Highness, Tan Ji, I know this person. Before the war, I partnered with Xuan Song to cause trouble in Dahe. Later, Zhou Ce was transferred back to Chengdu to serve as Chen Zhiqing's deputy until now. From this, it seems that he has a deep trust from Emperor Xuan.

, Emperor Xuan has always been instructive in employing people, so this person must not be underestimated."

"I think so too, but judging from the attitude of my father, I look down on Tan Ji. We need to make plans after we arrive at Luo Chen. Can the Prime Minister have good plans?"

"Well, Your Highness, what do you think is the transfer of General Mingyu as the general of Luo Chen's army?"

"Mingyu? If he could come here, I would be at ease, but my father had the will to let Mingyu follow General Gan Ming to clean up Beimu and completely stabilize the north. This time would definitely not be able to be transferred back."

"Apart from Chen Zhiqing and Yu Geng, everyone else in Daxuan can deal with it. If General Ming cannot escape, I would never think of anyone more suitable for a moment."

"How about Liao Renxiang?"

"Liao Renxiang? Uh, I'm sorry for being stupid, please let Your Highness say it clearly." Chu Cheng really couldn't think of who Liao Renxiang was for a moment.

"Liu Renxiang, the governor of Yecheng County, was the one who surrendered with the Minister of War Lu Qingchen."

"Your Highness, is there anything extraordinary about this person?" Chu Cheng still didn't understand.

"Liao Renxiang was originally the deputy general of Lu Qingchen. After he surrendered, he was appointed as the commander of Yecheng. After the war began, Yecheng became a major food and grassland for Cheng Ji and others. There had never been any chaos in Yecheng for many years, otherwise the Youdu County County

He had been defeated by the people of Donghai long ago. Before, when I was in Youzhou, I discovered that this person was a beautiful man."

"It is definitely an extraordinary thing to be favored by Your Highness. It is not a problem to transfer the transfer based on Yecheng's merits alone, but the old minister of Ren Luochen's army thought that Your Majesty would not agree."

"The father asked me to lead Luo Chen to stay, and the four armies of Luo Chen, Ruyang, Xingzhou and Mengzhou under my command all supported the transfer order of this king. How about transferring Liao Renxiang to the Ning Palace to join the army first?"

Chu Cheng thought for a while and said, "This is a very good move. Your Highness was named King Ning, and his fief is Luo Chen. Your residence in Luo Chen must be fully prepared. I and others have court positions, so I cannot serve Your Highness for a long time.

, it is necessary to have a close friend to use it. As for whether Liao Renxiang is really capable, it will be reflected by His Highness.”

Xiao Ye was planning on the side, and the Crown Prince Xiao Ning was not idle either. He was angry and irritable, and had no image of the crown prince.

"Duanmu! I thought my father would have some restrictions on King Ying, but now I have appointed him as King Ning and have become Luo Chen's stay. What's the use of me, Prince Luo Shizi!"

"Your Highness, don't say this again. If it is heard by Your Majesty, it will be very detrimental to Your Majesty."

Duanmuyang really has no choice but to serve the prince, but he has already served him and can only continue to walk with him. Although the prince is unstable, it has some benefits. He can rest assured that he has a hundred trusted people. Duanmu

It was because of this that Yang and others helped them wholeheartedly.

"Duanmu, you said, what method should I use to kill him!"

"Your Highness, King Ning is in the limelight now, and Your Majesty also intends to send him to Luo Chen for him. In the future, the battle with the pseudo-authored side Luo Chen and Yanjiang are key battlegrounds, so Luo Chen is not as good as he imagined. Old Minister

I thought Your Highness should also write to Your Majesty to support Luo Chen to show His Highness’s kindness and respect.”

"I am helping him? Duanmu, are you right?"

"Your Highness, giving him support is just enough for us to enter Luo Chen to look at him. From the future war, he will be the vanguard of His Highness and the pseudo-propaganda. It will be beneficial to Your Highness. The old minister also believes that Your Highness has a stable position.

With a moment of thought, as long as your Majesty does not take any other thoughts, your Highness’s position as the prince will be safe.”

Although Xiao Ning was a playboy, she was not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, although she was unwilling to accept it, she still endured it.

"Then let him be proud. You can arrange these things. You can also do the surrender ceremony in a few days. I don't have that much thought to ask about these bad things!"

"Old minister receives the order."
