When the eldest princess of Dongyang quietly walked into the Ningfu Palace, she saw that the emperor was not on the throne, but standing in front of the wooden shelf on one side with her back hand, concentrating on a map hanging on it. From her point of view, she could see the emperor's slightly blessed side face compared to before, as if he was boiling the queen mother and some disgusting ministers, and after he was really in charge, he was wide and fat.

However, she knew in her heart that this was not the case.

Sure enough, when she took two steps closer, she only heard the emperor suddenly sigh and say: "I don't know the price of firewood and rice, I used to only think that I had the power to control the world, and the order was forbidden, so I could implement the decree I wanted to implement and do what I wanted to do, but after I really monopolized the power, I knew that the constraints not only came from people, but also from the overall situation of the times, and from the people's back." ”

The eldest princess of Dongyang knew that when the emperor called himself me in front of her, what she needed was not advice and advice, but only a pair of listening ears, so she smiled slightly, did not speak, and was so quiet that she did not look like a woman who interfered in politics and slandered by many officials. However, the emperor was not able to pour a bunch of bitter water in one breath as usual, and he returned to normal in a moment.

"Don't say those frustrating words. As the king of a country, he must always be responsible...... Jianzhen, you take a look at this map. Calculate the time, I'm afraid it's time to come. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the eldest princess of Dongyang stepped forward and glanced at the map that clearly depicted the defense of the entire northern Xinjiang city fortress and the main roads and paths, and she said: "Ah Xu Feige passed the book, he has already led people to infiltrate Beiyan. ”

This simple sentence made the emperor change color instantly. He suddenly turned sideways to look directly into his sister's eyes, and seeing that she was not joking at all, his eyes turned sharply, and he asked in an unprecedentedly stern tone, "What's going on?" I remember that Ah Xu had never said that he would take such a risk! Didn't he go with Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning? ”

"The two kids covered him." The eldest princess of Dongyang explained concisely, and when she saw that the emperor was immediately angry, she said lightly, "I know that when he really takes over the position of General Xuanlong and really takes over the important task of military intelligence spying in Beiyan, he will not be willing to be a son-in-law in Jinling who can only be alive in the eyes of others by relying on his mother." ”

"But although he is good at martial arts, he has no experience in spy confrontation!" The Emperor raised his voice suddenly, "Since you expected it, you should have reminded me in the first place and sent a few safe people to watch him well!" ”

"I've locked his wings for so many years, and he almost doesn't recognize me as a mother. Now that he has finally married a wife that he is satisfied with and I am satisfied with, and has left three lovely sons, what should I do to stop him again? Yue Xiaosi has been flying alone outside for so many years, but Ah Xu, who had a good relationship with him back then, has always thought that he has achieved nothing, and if he is not let out, he will go crazy. ”

When she said this, the eldest princess of Dongyang was not arrogant and unreasonable in front of outsiders at all, and she seemed lonely but calm. Before the emperor spoke, she took out a small bamboo tube from her sleeve and said softly: "This is the news that the shadow in the old man's house sent back from the Bazhou Flying Pigeon Messenger. Kang Le has already met with the prince and presented the six seals of the Son of Heaven of Beiyan. ”

Only then did the emperor suddenly put aside the anxiety and concern about his nephew's adventure, and regained the calmness that a monarch should have. He took the bamboo pipe, took out the paper scroll inside and swept it slightly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When I sent Shiro away, I knew that there would be this day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." After the news came out, it was impossible for the soldiers and horses of Northern Yan and Southern Xinjiang to stand still. ”

"Not only will it not stand still, but it is likely to pounce on Bazhou. After all, no matter who becomes the Emperor of Northern Yan, he can't do without the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven. It could have been carved on the spot, and it could have been made by fooling people, but after such a big rumor was released, as long as there was a person who had the heart to win the throne of Beiyan, he had to make a look. And most importantly......"

The eldest princess of Dongyang paused as she spoke, and her voice was much lower: "Da Wu canonized the crown prince, and that prince is the only prince, and now he is in Bazhou, this is their best opportunity." The torn Beiyan may not be my opponent now, but as long as the prince can be controlled, then not only can he regain the six seals of the Son of Heaven, but he will also have the capital to negotiate with our dynasty. ”

"It's just that Shiro's side will naturally encounter untold dangers, and may even fall into a desperate situation."

When he took the words of the eldest princess of Dongyang and made this judgment, the emperor's face was obviously a little struggling, but he quickly calmed down.

"His biological mother is unknown, and even his background is not so clear, but I have brought him up since he was a child, and I am willing to treat him as my own flesh and blood wholeheartedly, but since others are so careful, if he is still as fierce and introverted as before, suffering from gains and losses, it is not enough. He needs a lot of courage, a lot of intelligence, even a lot of luck, enough supporters. ”

"Since the emperor put him in the most dangerous desperate situation, he questioned that Ah Xu actually led people to sneak into Beiyan across the border?"

The emperor was a little annoyed by the rhetorical question of the eldest princess of Dongyang, but then waved his hand weakly: "You and I are not the same person as Yue Lao'er. What's more, Ah Xu is not like Shiro and Chiaki, his background is clear, and he doesn't need to take such a big risk. Qianqiu has been questioned many times over the years, and there is no eye-catching credit, can Yue Lao'er live to be one hundred and fifty years old and shelter him for a lifetime? And Shiro's background is unknown, and he has no merit in establishing the country, so he can suppress his uncles and cousins in the future? Not to mention ......"

"What's more, taking Beiyan and unifying the world was originally the long-cherished wish of the imperial brother and the old man Yue."

The eldest princess of Dongyang broke through the emperor's secret intentions in one word, and saw that he suddenly put away the love on his face just now, and her face was a little gloomy, so she smiled and said: "Brother Huang, the prince is not here, and those ministers are not there, I am the one who knows you best, why do you hide it in front of me like that?" Ci is not in charge of the army, and the commander of the army still wants to kill his own son who lost the battle at a critical moment, so as to boost morale, not to mention that you are a dignified emperor? ”

Rao is always the closest to the eldest princess of Dongyang, and the emperor still couldn't help but be a little angry, however, in the face of those calm eyes, he finally said in a deep voice: "You don't have to squeeze me. That's right, I really don't have that magnanimous measure, and it's impossible not to care if Shiro is me or the bloodline of the Northern Yan Ji clan, but it's not eight years ago. ”

The eldest princess of Dongyang naturally knew the emperor's unfulfilled intentions. Eight years ago, there were still two pregnant concubines in the palace, and the emperor still had hope, and he was just over fifty at that time, but now he is close to the age of six, and it is difficult to expect to have biological flesh and blood. As for the sons and nephews of those brothers...... Joke, even if you hold a baby from outside now, can you still raise it like a little fat man?

As for Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, who is now recuperating in the Baoci Palace...... If the emperor really wanted to support this titular grandson, how could he completely beat King Jia to the point that he could not turn over forever?

Thinking of this, she finally lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Huang, forgive me, in fact, I am not as calm as I seem right now." My mother was worried, I was already in turmoil, and I was just trying to maintain the last bit of face. The old man Yue had just been ridiculed by me and walked away, and I don't know if he remembered that he asked for leave in the political hall before leaving. ”

Only then did the emperor realize that he was not the one who was unlucky under the sharp teeth of the eldest princess of Dongyang, and while laughing and laughing, he was also a little melancholy. Since the woman sent the fat son over, although he said that he gave it to Feng Guifei to raise, but since that mistake, the next person to raise the son became himself, and he really put in a lot of effort.

Even if you can't talk about how to raise a literary talent and a martial arts strategy, since ancient times, there have been few good Taiping emperors, and his son has almost raised him to a medium level. If it is only the two countries that hold each other, then such a prince should be enough. It's a pity that Emperor Beiyan is gambling, and he is also accompanying him to bet, so he finally chose to put this son at the forefront.

It's like Yue Taichang has always doted on his grandson, didn't he let Yue Qianqiu out this time? It's not just that grandson, even if Yue Taichang tried his best to get his daughter-in-law back, he still has a son in Beiyan, and now he is in a desperate situation where countless people want to get rid of him. Not to mention, the eldest son who had been trained so hard was also sent to Bazhou.

There is no doubt that when the war is about to start, he will definitely not send a Taishou to the past, and the boss of the Yue family will temporarily take on the responsibility of Bazhou Taishou!

"You, you have always liked to target Yue Taichang, and you even did not hesitate to release a rumor like Lao Beng Hanzhu to force people to find you Axu. But now that he's seventy, and you're in your fifties, why can't you help but have to fight each other? ”

"Get used to it." The eldest princess of Dongyang shook her head lazily, and then said with a smile, "Although we can do things together and work together, there is no need to be so harmonious in private." I can't get used to the old man, the old man, the cunning and calculating, and he can't get used to me being arrogant and domineering, and I have to intervene in everything. Anyway, just like Prince Qianqiu, he is used to being a sworn enemy. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the emperor was a little stunned, the eldest princess of Dongyang suddenly asked: "The flying pigeon passed the book that Han Yu just escorted King Jia to set off, do you want to live or die?" ”

For such a straightforward question, the emperor seemed to be a little caught off guard, and it took a long time before he shook his head and said, "Send him to Jinling alive, and I will ask him personally." ”

"Okay then." Now that she has let go of the Xuanlong Division, but she is a part-time mastermind behind most of the Wude Division, the eldest princess of Dongyang agreed casually, and after reporting a few more big and small things, she curtsied and retreated, but suddenly stopped when she walked to the door, "Brother Huang, the storm in Bazhou is about to rise, and the reinforcements must be prepared as soon as possible, fishing is okay, it can't be chilling." ”

"I understand."

After these simple three words, the emperor watched the figure of the eldest princess of Dongyang disappear outside the door. When he finally returned to the map, his fingers rubbing over the cities on the northern border, he muttered something that would have surprised anyone who heard it.

"Once this battle is really won, then the next thing should be to give Bazhou a name to accompany the capital......"

From the beginning of Yanhuang, the accompaniment system has begun to gradually originate and develop, and even from the initial two capitals to the current five capitals. Today's Northern Capital Daimyo Mansion is a first-class important town, in contrast, although Bazhou is incomparably big for the surrounding counties, villages and towns, it is not enough to see in front of the Daimyo, so it is still difficult to snatch the so-called Northern Capital name.

Therefore, the emperor pondered while drawing up several names in his heart, and finally a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since it is one of the earliest cities closest to Beiyan and the first to come in winter, then it is better to call it the winter capital." ”

When the emperor was thinking about what would happen a long time later, he was squeezed by the eldest princess of Dongyang, and the old lady Yue, who left the political hall in anger under the noses of his colleagues, subordinates and many onlookers, had already returned to Yuefu.

Now that the eldest lord and the more Qianqiu are gone, the shadow-like Yue Ying has also gone to the forefront, and the atmosphere in Yue Mansion is quite depressing. The more the old lady rushed back on this day, the more trembling she became. And after the old man got off the sedan chair directly at the gate, he commanded as soon as he entered the door: "Go and invite the eldest daughter-in-law, and Chang'an to come to Hemingxuan." ”

When the eldest lady and Yue Xiu entered the Heming Xuan together, they saw the old lady Yue pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. The eldest lady has always respected her father-in-law, but she is not as in awe as the other juniors and subordinates in Yuefu, and after saluting, she asked with a smile: "Why did the old lady come back so early today?" ”

"Don't mention it, I was beaten by that Li Jianzhen!" Old lady Yue snorted angrily, and then pointed at Yuexiu, "From today on, let Chang'an come to Hemingxuan to write me, private messages, and miscellaneous things, he will learn them all for me, I have limited energy, and he will write them all after dictation." ”

Yue Xiuyi is already a real shock. Although he also used to help the old lady Yue in the Heming Xuan on a regular basis, it was just sorting out the paperwork, and he couldn't really get involved in this most confidential thing. He opened his mouth wide to ask for clarification, but when he noticed that his grandmother was shaking his head at him, the words that came to his mouth were immediately blocked.

"Don't say no, don't say you're afraid of not doing well, your grandfather learned to do practical things from me. Your father is too square to be suitable for this, you were like your father in the early years, but then because of Qianqiu, he finally had a bit of a slippery head, so he was suitable to help me. The next season will be the whole world is changing, and I need a reliable junior by my side. ”

"Don't worry, old lady, Chang'an will try its best to learn." The eldest lady answered for Yue Xiuyi, and then said softly, "The master is not here, I'm afraid I have to focus more on socializing outside, can I let the fourth brother and sister take care of the affairs of the family?" ”

Old lady Yue nodded approvingly at her eldest daughter-in-law, and agreed, "That's it." As for the in-house residence, let Nuo Nuo take care of it personally, isn't An Renqing still there? Just give her a helper, our children should be able to do something. ”

After quickly cutting through the mess and assigning the housework, the old lady Yue went to the desk and sat down, and then said to the grandfather and grandson in front of him: "You go to the Ye family and the Yu family to walk around, and then see if there are suitable girls in the two families, even if it is not a daughter, but a niece and niece." As long as you are of good character and generous and capable, you will set one for Chang'an. ”

Yue Xiuyi couldn't believe his ears, and subconsciously shouted, "Grandpa, I'm ...... I'm still young! Uncle Nine......"

"Don't mention your ninth uncle!" Old lady Yue slammed the table angrily, "Besides, our family doesn't have the rule that if an uncle doesn't marry, a nephew can't get married!" If you don't want to marry blindly and dumbly, let your grandmother arrange it for you, and everyone will pick each other! In short, the family style of the Ye family's Yu family is not bad, and your temperament is not as indefinite as Qianqiu, hurry up and start a family! ”

Speaking in a hurry, the old lady Yue couldn't help but be choked and coughed several times. When he finally stopped coughing, he took a deep breath and said categorically: "Qianqiu told you before for me that you should come out to do things in the name of the eldest grandson of Yuefu, right?" Later, Jinling had many events, so this matter was put on hold, and besides, the prince has been established, so you don't need to take shortcuts. You go to give me the exam this year, and you go to give me the Jinshi exam next year, and that's it. I don't care what others say about taking care of my children and nephews, do they take care of fewer people? ”
