Princess Xiurong's Mansion.

Yuan Mulan's fief is in Xiurong County, so it is also called Princess Xiurong, her mansion is located in the northern suburbs of the capital, adjacent to Beiyuan and Baiyang Spring, across the courtyard you can see the seven-level floating tower of Yongning Temple up to more than 300 feet, and lead like muddy water flowing through the rockery pond and marsh, there are high and concave, there are curved and deep, there are steep and hanging, there are flat and flat, it becomes a natural interest.

In order to compensate for the suffering she suffered when she left Beijing since she was a child, Yuan Yu spared no material resources and manpower to build the princess's mansion elegant and magnificent, far beyond the regulations that Princess Xiurong should have, and was once questioned by the imperial history platform. And Yuan Mulan is accustomed to Rong Ma's life in northern Xinjiang, a bed, a quilt, a peaceful sleep is enough, and she is quite disgusted by the extravagance of the princess's mansion, but she can't refuse the kindness from her father, and she settled here after returning to Beijing, and has never been to other places except for her own yard and back garden.

Leaving the General's Mansion, Yuan Mulan immediately sent someone to summon Yu Zhong to stroll among the orchids in the back courtyard, the blooming Mo Lan or peach green, or pink, or white, as Confucius said, orchid is the king's incense, and it is also Yuan Mulan's favorite.

"What's going on in the south lately?"

"No, it's safe!"

"The egrets of Jinling, can they all do their duty?"

Yu Zhong smiled and said: "Destroy Meng, this is the matter of the foreign marquis, how do I know?" ”

"The information of the outer marquis is not to be reported to the inner marquis for filing, you are already one of the dragon sparrows of the inner marquis, how can you not know?"

"It's really wronged to destroy Meng, I'm just making up the numbers in the internal marquis, it's good if others don't give me small shoes to wear, where will I have access to confidential information, especially ...... Especially related to the south side......"

"Huh?" Yuan Mulan's face was slightly cold, and said, "And because of the incident earlier, the imperial bird doesn't trust you very much?" ”

"That's not it, Hou Guanling understands that I and Di Ji are just acting according to orders, and if you want to blame, you will also blame and destroy Meng, and you won't be angry with me, an insignificant little person." Yu Zhong smiled and said: "The main thing is that the responsibilities of the internal marquis are clear, and it is not the part I am responsible for, so I must not inquire." Zhan Meng rarely walks around in the Hou Guancao, and may not know that the Hou Guan's order punishes those who are too talkative and tongue-in-law, and no one dares to violate it......"

The reason why Yuan Mulan served as the exterminator in the Hou Guan Cao was that Yuan Yu personally ordered the general, and he also made an exception to install an important position in the Inner Dynasty as a princess.

Seeing that Yuan Mulan didn't squeak, Yu Zhong said cautiously: "Annihilation suddenly asked about the south, did you find any clues?" ”

Yuan Mulan shook her head and said, "Do you know where Zhu Zhi is now?" ”

"Zhu Zhi?" Yu Zhong was surprised: "He is the assassin of Jiangzhou, he must be in Xunyang!" ”

"That's not necessarily ......"

Yuan Mulan pondered for a moment and said, "Yu Zhong, do you have a reliable egret in your hand?" Go to Jiangzhou for me, if I can find out Zhu Zhi's whereabouts, I will tell my father and the emperor, and promote you to destroy Meng! ”

Yu Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

The turmoil inside and outside Pingcheng lasted for seven full days, and Gao Teng suppressed the rumors with brutal and bloody methods, and killed more than 100 Han people who claimed to be Daoyi's spies. At the same time, Yuan Guang could not continue to hide in Qingjing, the palace attendant came to greet him every day with Yuan Yu's message, he had to go out to the court, expressed his support for the new policy, Yuan Yu descended to the next level, and joined hands in the Tai Chi Palace.

Subsequently, He Barongfeng, the general of Wuchuan Town, was transferred back to Beijing, and was immediately imprisoned for punishment. With his outstanding performance this time, Gao Teng successfully persuaded Yuan Yu to replace the general of Zhendu with his younger brother Gao Yuan and take control of the military and political power of Wuchuan Town.

Yuan Yu used He Batrong to kill chickens and monkeys, shocked the ministers, and forced Yuan Guang to stay out of the matter through rumors, even if he didn't agree, he had to support Sinicization. Then, led by Cui Boyu, he began to promote sinicization by leaps and bounds: first, the Xianbei script was abolished, and all the invitations, national letters, seals and letterheads were all changed to Chinese characters; Second: Abolish Hufu, change the left to the right, change the hair to tie the hair, and change the palace and the palace to wear Hanfu; Third, the abolition of the Zhubei language, all changed to Luoyang Zhengyin, more than 30, the habit has been a long time, and it is not allowed to change suddenly. Under thirty, when you see people in the imperial court, you dare to speak the northern language, and you should be dethroned; Fourth, Hu Han intermarried, took the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family as the concubine of the crown prince Yuan, and married Princess Le'an to the son of the Taiyuan Wang family as a daughter-in-law, as an example, encouragement; Fifth, determine the family line, with Fanyang Lu, Taiyuan Wang, Qinghe Cui, and Xingyang Zheng as the four surnames of Gaomen, and their status and treatment are the same as the eight surnames of Mu, Lu, He, Liu, Lou, Yu, Ji, and Wei, further integrating the Xianbei nobles and the Han Gaomen;

Sixth............ Seventh...... Eighth......

Sinicization alone,There are as many as 19,The detailed rules are countless,All of these,All of which show Yuan Yu's determination and courage to completely sinicize,He ignored the dissatisfaction of the Xianbei nobles,Ignore the turmoil that may be caused by the dynasty,Even ignore the serious negative impact on the Northern Wei Dynasty in the long run。 The unprecedented victory in defeating the Rouran Empire made his ambition uncontrollable any longer, like a wild horse on the loose, no matter whether there was a broad road or a cliff in front of him, he only cared about running forward, and he didn't even bother to stop and poke his head out to take a look.

Yuan Guang has never shown up since that time, and from time to time, Xianbei nobles have asked to see him in private, but they have been turned away. It was a foregone conclusion, and no one had the ability to dissuade the emperor, especially since he was in a place of suspicion, and opening his mouth could only backfire.

"My father has changed ......"

"Huh?"

Yuan Mulan was slightly depressed, and said: "After the defeat of Rouran, he no longer listens to other people's advice as before, the inner and outer dynasties have become decorations, except for Cui Boyu and the Songshan Taoist Kang Jing, even the words of the great monk He turned a deaf ear, this time the sinicization, the clansmen complained a lot, and the next step was to implement the Juntian system and the three-long system, I am really afraid of causing trouble, He Batrong is in the front, and no one may follow suit......"

Yuan Guang sighed and said, "The imperial brother has his own great strategy, and Xi Jin and Changsun Di and others can't persuade them, so don't worry about it." ”

"I don't care about these, but Cui Boyu advocates reforming the official system, absorbing the experience of the Southern Dynasties, establishing nine products, dividing the right and subordinate, setting up three provinces and six departments, abolishing the eight major officials and the internal Cao Council, and it is rumored that the post of general will no longer be established, and it will be changed to a leading general, and the master will replace Changsun Di as a captain. Although the Taiwei belongs to the list of the three dukes, he is a vain and has no right to lead troops......" Yuan Mulan's beautiful eyes showed a little guilt, and said: "Such a trick of ascending and descending secretly, waiting for it, should not be used by the emperor, Master, thanks to the ...... of Cui Boyu"

Yuan Guang reached out and gently stroked Yuan Mulan's green silk, for many years...... Maybe since Yuan Mulan entered the fifth grade, he rarely had such a pampering move, and said softly: "You and I are both soldiers, we have been licking blood from the knife for many years, and we are fortunate to have survived, fame and fortune, can we compare to those robes who died on the battlefield?" If you don't bring soldiers, you won't lead soldiers, you know my mind, if possible, I don't even want to be a captain, it's just ......"

Yuan Guang didn't say it too clearly, Yuan Mulan knew it in her heart, but Yuan Yu refused to let him go, took away the general's military power, and controlled him under his nose to rest assured, my brother was suspicious of this, what does this royal mean?

"As for Cui Boyu, this person has the talent to deal with Zhu Zhi in the future, you still need to rely on his divine strategy, you must not offend him, and don't look for trouble with him."

"Master!"

"Obedient!" Yuan Guang withdrew his hand, looked far away, and said: "Mulan, I still remember that you were in your infancy, I was raided by Rouran, holding you out of the encirclement, blood dripping to the corners of your lips, but you didn't cry or make trouble, then I knew that the Great Xianbei God was above, and you were a gift from God to my clan, so no matter what, you should not easily get involved in this dispute!" ”

Yuan Mulan was silent for a long time and said, "I know! ”

At this time, someone hurriedly came to report, saying that there was a girl outside the door who wanted to see the ugly slave of Su Xi, holding the jade trick as a token, Yuan Guang asked the next person to invite the ugly slave, and when she saw the jade trick, she jumped up excitedly and ran directly out of the door.

Yuan Mulanqi said: "Who makes the ugly slave so happy? ”

Yuan Guang smiled: "It must be an old man from the south......"

Yuan Mulan remembered the not-so-pleasant experience of the Southern Dynasty, her jade-like eyes flashed with brilliance, and said, "Then I'll take a look!" ”

"Also, Mulan, let Hou Guan Cao not provoke the ugly slave's friends, she is in Pingcheng for a day, protect her thoughtfully!"

Yuan Mulan looked back and smiled: "I, the nominal Annihilation, can still speak, Master don't worry!" ”

Yuan Guang guessed accurately, and it was Fang Sinian who came. She seems naïve, but in fact she is not stupid, she came to Pingcheng to find Yuan Mulan directly, the consequences are unpredictable, but if she finds the ugly slave first, Yuanguang will give her Xu Langjun a few thin noodles no matter what, then it will be safe, and then go to see Yuan Mulan through the ugly slave, and it will be nine out of ten.

When the two girls met, they hugged and cried and laughed for a while, and finally waited for them to calm down, Yuan Mulan smiled at the corner of her lips and said, "Girl Fang, we have met ...... in Mingyu Mountain."

Not only have I seen it, but also indirectly made a move, and it was also at that time that Yuan Mulan remembered Fang Sinian, a little girl, but she didn't expect that in the past two years, she had stepped into the mountain gate of Wupin.

"Si Nian has seen the princess!"

Fang Sinian's smile was not stained with dust, revealing the natural beauty of heaven and earth, and said: "What a coincidence, I came to Pingcheng to miss the ugly slave and see if she is doing well in Pingcheng; Second, it is for the princess ......"

"Oh?" Yuan Mulan smiled: "For me? ”

"Yes!"

Fang Sinian casually bowed his hands, but his demeanor was secretly indescribably subtle, and he said solemnly: "Please give the princess a lesson!" ”
