The next day, Qingling really received the news that Luo Yao had entered the palace to meet Mu Chen.

She hesitated for a moment, sorted out her clothes, took out the momentum that an emperor of a country should have, and hurried to the Chengji Palace.

Mu Chen and Luo Yao in the hall were standing in front of a map displayed on the table.

Luo Yao pointed to the picture, while using his divine power to draw a figure of water vapor condensation, demonstrating what to explain.

Because of Mu Chen's permission, Qingling did not need a palace person to report to enter and exit the Chengji Palace, she walked straight in with her chest held high, which made the two people who looked focused in front of the map slightly startled, and raised their heads at the same time.

Mu Chen was the first to calm down, looking at Qing Ling, his tone soft, "Why are you here?" ”

Before Qing Ling rushed in, he didn't expect to see such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a while, cleared his throat, and said, "I heard that I'm going to talk about Daze's military defense today, so I want to come and take a look." ”

The reason for making up the nonsense came out, and even he felt embarrassed.

Mu Chen didn't care, beckoned, motioned for Qing Ling to walk to his side, pointed to the map on the case, and said, "Well, the prince is demonstrating Daze's newly arranged military defense, you can also listen to it." ”

Qing Ling walked over and glanced at the case, and saw that the rivers, seas, plains, and towns were all depicted in detail and detail, and the terrain undulating constructed by Luo Yao with spiritual power could be described as unobstructed.

Mu Chen said to Luo Yao, "You go on." ”

Luo Yao's fingertips turned lightly, and he used the water mist to conjure up the layout of the military forces in the sea area, and continued to explain.

From his point of view, Qing Ling stood beside Mu Chen, his body leaning almost slightly. Mu Chen listened very attentively, but his gaze unconsciously wandered slightly, as if he was observing Qing Ling's expression all the time.

The facial features of the two are obviously not similar, but they both exude a kind of noble charm of the heavenly family.

Luo Yao's consciousness was a little sluggish uncontrollably, and the water vapor under his fingers suddenly became foggy.

Qing Ling stared at the map, but his thinking was wild, and he didn't understand the reason for deploying troops in various seas after listening to it for a long time.

Mu Chen was very serious, interrupting Luo Yao from time to time and asking him a question or two.

Although he himself is a capable man who leads troops and generals, he has no experience in naval warfare. Luo Yao, on the other hand, is very familiar with all affairs in the sea, but he does not have much battlefield experience. Between the two questions and answers, they have already learned from each other's strengths, each has gained something, and they are also secretly free to admire each other's talent and learning ability.

After talking about the military defense arrangement, Luo Yao took out another roster and handed it to Mu Chen.

"This is the cronies of the Fang Shan clan in the Daze garrison, a total of two hundred and seventeen people, all those who have military positions have been removed or transferred elsewhere."

Mu Chen took the roster and looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart.

At the beginning, Luo Yao asked him for orders to clean up Daze's military defense, but he didn't really expect that things would be completed so beautifully and thoroughly in such a short time. The cronies of the Fang Shan clan in the army, Mu Chen himself has not been able to obtain a complete list, and at this moment, in the register submitted by Luo Yao, not only the background of these two hundred people and the involvement with the Fang Shan clan are clearly explained, but even the whereabouts after the dismissal and the reasons for such an arrangement are clearly recorded.

Mu Chen himself has been immersed in the court for many years, and he knows that such a large-scale personnel change is not easy to do, and all kinds of resistance and non-cooperation are commonplace. However, in the year and a half since Luo Yao returned to Daze, the court has not received the slightest impeachment against him, and there has not been any disturbance in Daze's army due to dissatisfaction.

Mu Chen knew that Luo Yao was quite dexterous in the past, whether it was in Lingxiao City or in the military camp in the south in the past, he could get along well with all kinds of people and have excellent popularity, but he never expected that his exquisite temperament could be used to deal with official affairs, and he could get twice the result with half the effort......

Luo Yao saw that Mu Chen was silent, speculating on his doubts, and said: "The Baili clan has lived in Daze since ancient times, and they know more about all the matters in Daze than others, and they are naturally more handy in handling them. ”

Mu Chen closed the roster and bowed his head indifferently, "If other courtiers can do things like you, I will be relieved." ”

Qing Ling took the roster from his hand and quickly flipped through a few pages, and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the meticulous and effective handling of Luo Yao's process.

Thinking that she was in charge of Chaoyan's finance and taxation back then, she was forced to arrange a Fang Shanji by Emperor Hao's side, so angry that she was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. As a person in power, it is not difficult to force others to act according to their own wishes with iron and blood. But this is only the last way to hurt others and hurt yourself. How to make people willingly serve themselves and make choices according to their own wishes is the wisest and most painstakingly pursued way of the emperors of all ages.

At this point, Qing Ling understood that he was really much worse than the two men in front of him......

She cleared her throat, looked at the contents of the roster seriously, frowned and said, "The people of the Fang Shan clan have been replaced, what kind of people can be replaced?" None of the names are like I've heard them. ”

Luo Yao was silent for a moment, "Most of the officials who replaced them were drawn from the Baili Clan's West Sea Patrol. ”

Qing Ling snorted, put the roster on the case, and said unhurriedly: "It turns out that they are all from your family." It's quite good at arranging. ”

Daze's personnel arrangement, Luo Yao had actually discussed with Mu Chen before. However, Qing Ling had never learned the details, and now he was sarcastic, quite provocative.

Mu Chen has been paying attention to Qing Ling's every move, but seeing her react like this at this moment, he seemed to be worried and suspicious in his heart, and quietly motioned to the palace people who were accompanying him to put away the roster and maps, and said to Qing Ling and Luo Yao: "It is rare for the prince to return to Beijing, since he has finished talking about official business, he will move to the side hall to sit and chat for a while." ”

Luo Yao raised his eyes, his gaze touched Mu Chen's eyes for a moment, only to feel that it was deep and far, and he couldn't see clearly.

He has known him for many years, and he also knows that the other party is the only son of Ye Zhenji, and the innate calmness and distantness in the aura makes him have a deceptive gentleness and elegance in appearance. However, the last time, and the only time I heard him speak to himself in such a polite tone, was when he asked him to give up the Red Soul Bead in Chongwu Ganyuan.

This time, what did he plan to ask for from him again?

Under the guidance of the palace people, the three of them moved to the side hall.

The stewards had already prepared refreshments and other things, and served them one by one.

As usual, Mu Chen first picked out Qingling's favorite food and sent it to her. Qing Ling was thinking about his heart and had no appetite at all.

It stands to reason that now that Luo Yao and Mu Chen can get along peacefully and stand on the same position to govern the country and prosper the country, she should be very happy.

Once upon a time, because of himself, how many incidents did he have in vain? Now Mu Chen has broken off his thoughts about her, and he only thinks about establishing his imperial power outside, and he is also happy to get along with his wife and concubine and daughter inside, she is happy for him, and he continues to care about her as a beloved sister, and has experienced confrontation and questioning, understanding and compromise between each other again and again, but the final ending can also be called a happy ending.

As long as she is willing, her brother and her husband may have the opportunity to live together in harmony like a real family, right?

As long as she's willing......

Would you like to......

～~

After a while, Queen Mo Nan Shiyin also came to the Chengji Hall with the little emperor Ji Xi'er.

Mu Chen seems to be very fond of this daughter, and he will find time to meet him almost every day.

An Huaiyu's body has been weak since giving birth, so the duty of bringing Xi'er to Muchen Palace to ask for peace naturally fell on Queen Shiyin. Shiyin also cherishes this rare opportunity to meet Mu Chen every day, although she is a queen, she can't guarantee that she can see her husband every day......

Shiyin personally hugged Xi'er and slowly stepped into the side hall, and unsurprisingly saw Qing Ling sitting next to Mu Chen.

It seems that every time I bring Xi'er to Chengji Palace, I can meet this sister of His Majesty. And because of Xi'er's arrival, Qingling's stay in the Chengji Hall was inevitably extended a lot.

This time, in addition to Qingling himself, the prince of Osawa was also there.

Shiyin handed Xi'er into Mu Chen's hands, and greeted Qingling and Luo Yao politely, and his attitude was always generous.

Xi'er has been getting more and more naughty recently, stretching out her chubby little hands and grabbing them, babbling unspoken words in her mouth, making a fuss in Mu Chen's arms for a while, then she turned around and opened her arms towards Qingling, kicking excitedly.

Mu Chen naturally sent Xi'er to Qingling's arms, and said with a faint smile: "This girl, I still like you the most." ”

Xi'er immediately quieted down in Qing Ling's arms, grabbed a lock of her hair with one hand and held it, put the other hand in her mouth and nibbled on it, making a pleasant giggle from time to time.

Qing Ling withdrew her hair from Xi'er's hand, grimaced, and said, "Where does she like me the most?" Obviously I like to abuse me the most! ”

said this, but his fingertips doted on Xi'er's little nose, making her laugh even louder.

Shiyin silently looked at Mu Chen and Qingling, who were approaching each other and teasing the baby, and glanced at Luo Yao, who was drinking tea with his head bowed on the other side, and said with a smile: "In the end, it is related by blood, shouldn't my niece be with my aunt?" We usually hold her, but she ignores her. ”

She turned to Luo Yao and asked with a smile, "Do you want to try it too?" Let's see what kind of attitude Xi'er will have towards your uncle. ”

Luo Yao raised his head, his eyes glanced at Qingling quickly, but the expression on his face remained calm, and he smiled at Shiyin: "The minister has never been good at getting along with babies, in the past, when my sister was still young, every time I hugged her, she cried bitterly, and it was better not to annoy the emperor today." ”

Shiyin said: "Because I am not good at it, I must practice more." Glancing at Qing Ling with a smile, "A few days ago, Qing Ling taught Zhecheng, saying that if you practice holding other people's children more now, you will be able to hold your own family in the future." No, the same is true for you. ”

Qing Ling couldn't help but blush slightly when she heard Shiyin say this, and struggled in her heart for a long time, and suddenly had the idea of teasing again, and looked up at Luo Yao and said:

"The queen tells you to try, and you can try it!"

She carefully sent Xi'er in her arms forward, "If it really makes her cry, I will punish you for making her laugh again!" ”

Seeing this, Luo Yao had to get up and sit next to Qing Ling, took Xi'er and hugged her into his arms.

Xi'er stared at Luo Yao for a moment, as if she was a little curious about this sudden stranger, and then pursed her lips and stretched out a pair of small hands.

Qing Ling was used to seeing Xi'er's crying when she was hugged by the living, and she just waited to see Luo Yao's good show on the side.

Who knew that Xi'er reached out and touched Luo Yao's face, and actually curled the corners of her mouth and smiled sweetly.

Qing Ling was shocked and couldn't help but lean over, "Huh? How so? He raised his hand and waved it in front of Luo Yao's eyes, "You shouldn't have used some magic spells, right?" ”

Luo Yao raised his eyes to look at her, a faint smile escaped from his lips, "Why does it have to be a demon illusion?" Can't the emperor really like me? ”

Qing Ling chewed on his words, as if he felt that his words were a pun, and involuntarily let out a low "puff", but the heat on his cheeks that had just faded slowly surged back.

Mu Chen saw the interaction between the two eyebrows and eyes clearly, took the teacup silently, stared at the ring mark on his index finger with lowered eyes, and never spoke again for a long time.
