"Imperial sister, I have some ideas." The young man sat in the dragon chair and listened quietly, his clear eyes full of anticipation.

Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, and then made a gesture of please: "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

His face burned a little, but he still cleared his throat and looked at the ministers of the first hall. "The master said that if you lose 100 redundant soldiers, you can raise 10 strong soldiers, and you can raise 100 strong soldiers in peacetime, and you can get 100 elite soldiers in times of emergency. I thought that it was not only necessary to reduce the army, but also to recruit strong young men to build an elite army. ”

His Royal Highness Wei Yan, Xing Ru'an and the others were all pleased, Ning Yan nodded with a smile, and said approvingly: "The emperor said it well. In fact, what Lord Wei and General Meng said was very much in line with the heart of this palace. The Donghe army has been accumulating shortcomings for a long time, and the palace has long had the idea of rectifying. ”

Looking at the pale faces of some people, she straightened out the luxurious and noble crescent white wide-sleeved long skirt, drank a cup of tea slowly, and laughed softly: "This palace reminds some people here in advance, if you don't want to be found out by this palace, you can cut off those flies and dogs as soon as possible." Save the hands of the palace from being dirty, and end up with a few embarrassments! ”

She spoke wantonly, but no one dared to raise their eyes to her. Many people were already gushing in a cold sweat, and the backs of their entire official uniforms were wet.

Ning Yan sneered, her eyes turned around, but she fixed on the bright yellow figure sitting not far from her.

There was no smile on the young man's face, and there was even a little ...... A cold feeling. There seems to be something subtle hidden in the seemingly clear eyes. For the first time, she felt that she was beginning to lose sight of him, the teenager who would hide in her arms and cry, and would pester her to prevent her from leaving.

Something is quietly changing. Although she is happy to see these changes, because only in this way will she get closer to an emperor. But if the reason for this qiē is that person, it is worth thinking about it.

This court meeting was later recorded in the history of Donghe, although there was a period of malicious deletion, tampering, and distortion for a period of time, but after the fall of Donghe, when the new dynasty was first established, the new emperor re-recorded this rich and colorful stroke in the history of Donghe in the most glorious way, and was widely used as a reference by various dynasties and generations.

In this court meeting, Ning Yan clearly proposed to use the conscription system to ban the conscription system. It is also clearly stipulated that those who have orphans, widows, and no brothers will not be recruited. She once again used martial arts, and in addition to martial arts considerations, she added the assessment of command, formation, art of war and other literary theories, and all military positions above the ninth rank can only be promoted by military merit.

One of the most acclaimed initiatives was the introduction of the wheel system. All armies are stationed at the border every three years. So that many soldiers who are difficult to go home all year round have the hope of going home for reunion.

Ning Yan was once deeply loved by the soldiers with this move, and even after the news of Ning Yan's treason spread throughout Donghe, many people still supported her. and directly led another round of army purges in Donghe, and this time many loyal ministers and good generals promoted by Ning Yan were beheaded under the knife. The vitality of the army was greatly damaged, which directly accelerated the demise of Donghe.

But later historians gave Ning Yan a very high evaluation, calling her Donghe Golden Phoenix. And said frankly that if there was no Ning Yan, Donghe would definitely not have the last return. Of course, that's an afterthought.

At this time, the eldest princess of Donghe, who was famous in history, was lying idly in the Broken Leaf Xuan, eating the peeled lychees handed over by Qingluan.

"Princess, this thing is said to have been transported from Lingnan, and it was very bumpy along the way. The emperor said that he would send it to the princess to try it. ”

"I have tasted it when I traveled to Lingnan before, why did the emperor think of eating this?"

"I heard Xiao Anzi next to Duan's father-in-law say that Lord Yun Xiu often paints and plays games with the emperor. In the conversation, he said a lot of rare things that we don't know. Once, when he happened to talk about this, the emperor asked the Inner Court Division to find a way to find a basket to taste. ”

Hearing that name, the book in Ning Yan's hand "snapped" and stuck on her face.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Picking up the book, Ning Yan sat up with a wry smile. Asked, "Is there any news from the cup moon?" ”

Qingluan shook his head: "I didn't hear the shadow say, it should be that there hasn't been any movement yet, otherwise I will definitely come to see you first." ”

"No news...... Ning Yan rubbed her eyebrows, "That's what happened, I really underestimated that person." Qingluan, during this time, you should try to stay in the house and don't go anywhere, and you must be cautious when traveling. ”

"Qingluan obeys!"

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his shoulders through the fine bamboo curtains hanging from Broken Leaf Xuan, and there was no trace of temperature.

Ning Yan looked up at the clouds in the sky and sighed, it was almost the end of the year, and the year was finally coming to an end.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A few years ago, Ning Yan braved the wind and snow to inspect the forbidden military camp on the outskirts of Beijing for the last time.

The wind and snow are heavy, and the roads are difficult to navigate. And what gave her a headache was that Zheng Yu also came, and the emperor personally patrolled it, and the most important thing was that Yun Xiu also came.

He didn't hold an umbrella or ride a carriage, he walked as if he was strolling leisurely, and his bright purple robe was quite dazzling in the vast wind and snow.

She heard the carriage in front of her stop, and Zheng Yu asked him, "Mr. Yun, do you want to get on the car?" ”

His purple eyes narrowed slightly, and the fine snowflakes fell on his long eyelashes, which were extremely soft. He glanced obliquely at the car with tassels hanging from behind, and said with a light smile: "Weichen is active and active, the emperor will go first!" ”

He bowed to Zheng Yu's departing carriage, but then turned and stopped the carriage that was following him.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the road is slippery on a snowy day, I don't know if you can take Weichen with you?" He bowed nonchalantly.

"Isn't Lord Yun Xiu going to move his muscles and bones? Why take a car? After a pause, a cold voice came from the carriage.

Yun Xiu smiled evilly, and suddenly spun around and jumped into the carriage. lifted the curtain and met a pair of glass-colored cold eyes.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess said this, but it hurts Wei Chen's heart too much, how can you say that it is also an old acquaintance, don't you talk about friendship at all?" He unceremoniously slipped into the carriage.

Ning Yan stiffened and involuntarily leaned back.

Qingluan stood in front of Ning Yan, staring at him vigilantly, and his right hand was already holding the soft sword wrapped around his arm.

I saw Yun Xiu Shi Ran sit down, and took a cup of tea on the table. "Don't be nervous, Weichen just wants to talk to the eldest princess alone, I don't know what the eldest princess thinks?" He gently turned the teacup with his wrist, blew on it, took a shallow sip and smiled: "Good tea!" ”

Ning Yan glanced at him and said softly, "Qingluan, go down first!" ”

"Princess ......"

She nodded at her, reassuring her. Then he closed the book in his hand and threw it on the desk.

"Tell me, what the hell do you want?"
