"Although Yan'er does not fight or grab, has a docile personality, and has shared joys and sorrows with His Majesty for decades, these are not enough for a superior to spend so much effort on her, everything Your Majesty has done is just to win over our Situ family, and only by attracting our Situ family can the South Gate area develop steadily and avoid civil strife. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Situ Yan finished speaking in one breath, and then sighed softly: "It's a pity...... Yan'er's child didn't know this, even if she said it, she wouldn't listen to it, in that palace Yan compound, it's not a good thing to be affectionate......"

Situ Jia's behavior has always been low-key, if Su Heng hadn't heard Situ Yan's words today, he would definitely not have imagined that the latter's energy had reached such a huge level, and it was this kind of support that Zhao Jinyu needed now.

"The old man is heartfelt, and the kid is also here to explain that as long as the Situ family does not abandon His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness, he will survive in this world for one day, and the Situ family will be prosperous."

Su Heng's words were righteous and righteous, his expression was rigorous, and there was no ambiguity.

Situ Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Su's guarantee, the old man can naturally trust it." ”

The goals of both sides have been achieved today, although both are for their own interests, but it is precisely in this way that this alliance can be endured.

Su Heng didn't stay in Situ Mansion for long, got up to say goodbye, and when he left, he saw a young man lying on his side in the compound with a pot of wine, drunk and drunk. Next to him were a few subordinates, calling the second master.

……

The assassination of Gong Yannei on the night of the queen's birthday is still under investigation, and Meng Zhan still can't leave Shouyang, and he asked to see Zao Wou-Ki several times halfway, but he was blocked back for various reasons.

And the general sent by the imperial court to Jiuyuan City has already been selected, it is Xiao Niangen, the old general who is highly respected by Da Chude, Zhao Wuji knows very well that in Jiuyuan City, in addition to the Mongolian war, I am afraid that only this old general can suppress those soldiers.

Xiao Niangen was extremely low-key when he left, and almost no one saw him off, and by the way, he also brought his only granddaughter Xiao Ruiying.

The old general painstakingly transferred Xiao Ruiying back to Shouyang, originally wanting to choose a good husband for her, and from then on to teach her husband and children, but he didn't expect to rush to the battlefield with her in the end.

……

The night was hazy and the insects chirped uncontrollably.

The candle flame is faint, occasionally swaying by the night wind, and has the potential to go out.

This is a compartment, elegantly decorated, with mahogany windows open on all sides, and looking down from the window railing, you can see the entire brightly lit Yangchun Street, and the uneven, red bricks and gray tiles of various houses.

Obviously, this compartment is extremely high, and the only one who can have such a towering attic overlooking the entire Yangchun Street in Shouyang is the Tingxue Pavilion.

Yangchun Street, Baifeng Building, Tingxue Pavilion.

Agreeable spring and white snow.

These three places are a major feature of Shouyang City, and outsiders are all admired; Compared with Yangchun Street, which is full of people, and Baifeng Tower, which gathers the essence of Chu talents, the characteristics of Tingxue Pavilion lie in those Qingqi children who play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and dance with long sleeves and light dances, whether it is external or internal, they are all one in a million, as long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, there is always what you want.

No one has ever been to the highest attic of Tingxue Pavilion, even if some powerful people who think they have a good status want to break in, they have not succeeded, everyone knows that the background of Tingxue Pavilion is terrifying.

And tonight, the highest floor of Tingxue Pavilion is open, but no one knows who the people inside are.

The breeze struck on all sides, and a few candles in the room swayed lightly, and the dim candlelight should be on Zao Wou-ki's expressionless face.

No one could have imagined that the Holy One would come to such a place today.

Zao Wou-Ki straightened up, without saying a word, and sitting diagonally opposite him was a white-haired old man, in good spirits, writing something with his head down.

If Su Heng was here, he would definitely recognize this old man, who was his teacher, Liu Chuan.

"Your Majesty, the chess pieces have all fallen, just waiting for the east wind." Liu Chuan suddenly put away his pen, and a pair of old eyes stared at the candle behind Zao Wou-ki, slightly distracted.

Zao Wou-ki, who had been maintaining a posture, finally jumped his eyelids, his posture moved slightly, and a trace of determination flashed on his face, showing his true character: "If this matter is successful, I will be famous for eternity, and I will be the first emperor of all dynasties; Defeat will leave a lifetime of infamy, and the merits and demerits will be evaluated by future generations. ”

After finishing speaking, Zao Wou-Ki picked up the soft pen on the pear blossom table with a lonely expression, found Meng Zhan's name on a white paper with a dense list written on it, hesitated for a moment and then lightly scratched on it: "In the face of the general trend, there are always people who need to sacrifice ......"

……

When the rooster crowed, Zhao Jinyu went to the early dynasty, and after being adopted as an adopted son by Situ Yan, his identity and status obviously changed, and the little eunuchs in the palace were polite to him, without the arrogance of the past, and he also had the qualifications to participate in this court.

Zao Wou-Ki was diligent in his administration and loved the people, and he would come to the court meeting on time every day to listen to the opinions of his ministers.

Zao Wou-ki, who intended to cultivate an heir, also gave several princes the qualifications to participate in politics, and let them attend court meetings with his ministers every day.

At the beginning, Zao Wou-Ki also met with opposition from many ministers, who felt that Zao Wou-ki's actions would undoubtedly make several princes fall into a struggle for power and profit prematurely, which would be detrimental to the dynasty.

However, Zao Wou-Ki said at the time that I wanted a dragon, not a group of insects, to refute the ministers. Zao Wou-Ki felt that only in a harsh competitive environment could the qualified heir be selected.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." The one who spoke was Chang Maoqing, the superintendent of the imperial history, a member of the second rank of the court.

In the past, if there was a discussion, it was usually the officials under the imperial history platform to perform, and then Chang Maoqing came forward to summarize, but today Chang Maoqing stood up in person, and obviously something big happened.

Chang Maoqing was an honest official, and he was in charge of the power center such as the Imperial Historical Tower, and Zao Wou-Ki attached great importance to him, and immediately waved his hand to play.

Chang Maoqing, who has only reached the age of not being confused, has to ask about everything in person because of long-term overwork, and now his hair is half white, and his body is also a little bent, like an old man who is about to enter the age of the sixtieth year, but he is still in high spirits, and his voice is like a bell, ringing in the palace: "The minister impeached Danyang Taishou Xu Zhirong deceived the upper and lower levels, and did not report it, the bandits in Danyang County are serious, and there are often evil bandits who go down the mountain to disturb the people and kill innocents indiscriminately, as far as the minister knows, the number of mountain bandits in the Guanshan area of Danyang County has reached 10,000 people, please Your Majesty strictly investigate!" ”

Chang Maoqing's words were shocking and powerful, and his voice echoed in the court, and then, several officials of the Yushitai also came forward to impeach, and even some other officials also came forward to impeach, and the momentum was huge.

Zhao Wouji, who knew Chang Maoqing's personality very well, knew that he would not be untargeted, and now when he saw the impeachment of the officials of the DPRK and China like water, he immediately gloodied, but he did not immediately order Xu Zhirong to be severely punished, but asked: "If the bandits are not eliminated for a day, Danyang County will not be stable for a day, who do you think I should send to suppress the bandits?" ”
