Liu Yan has been in a good mood recently.

Although the Huwei battalion in Liaodong raided Goryeo and lost most of the troops, it killed Li Chenghui, the first military general of Goryeo, and it was difficult to find a general in a thousand troops, and on the whole it was still advantageous, so Liu Yan did not punish Gao Dingbian and Wang Hanxin for the defeat, but appeased them.

Since it has been decided not to send troops to attack Tuqi this year, a lot of time has been saved to prepare for the war, and Tuqi has not raised troops to attack the south again, so Liu Yan does not have to be busy dealing with government affairs every day, and can finally have some leisure time.

You can practice martial arts, shoot arrows and ride horses, and even accompany Empress Hua for a walk in the imperial garden and talk about some poetry and articles, these are all happy times that Liu Yan has not enjoyed since he succeeded to the throne. What's even more gratifying is that as he spends more time with the queen, the queen's physical condition has also begun to improve, which is really an unexpected gain for Liu Yan, after all, the queen's intelligence is a priceless treasure for him.

Of course, Liu Yan also noticed that after appointing Guozhang Pingguo Gonghua Tianyu as the provincial servant of Menxia, the forces of the neutral faction showed signs of rising too quickly. Originally, the centrists were quite powerful forces in the DPRK and China, but they were often not keen on power struggles and people ignored their strength. Now that Han Kemin and Empress Dowager Li have fallen, the power of Han Kemin's party is not as good as before, even if Liu Yan did not delve into the case of the Empress Dowager's communication with foreign countries and retain the strength of this faction, but the lack of leading figures still caused them to decline rapidly, and now their strength in the DPRK is even worse than that of the old opponent's right servant Yan Ming's faction. If the power of the Neutral faction is too great, then the two factions may turn to unite against the Neutral faction, which is obviously not conducive to Liu Yan's rule. For this reason, Liu Yan specially promoted Zou Feng, the new champion. Qiu Yiru is the eye of the list, and the grandson of the flower is expected. as well as Jinshi Pi Longxian and Wu Siwen and others, although these people are not high in rank at the moment. It's not enough to balance the three factions, but these talents have a broader future, and if the three major factions want to unite this emerging force to balance the other two, then it will be a good thing for Liu Yan. But this kind of thing is like making wine, it takes time to ferment. Prior to this, Liu Yan was not very close to Empress Hua, so Liu Yan often went to other concubines to pass the time, especially Concubine De, the niece of Anjingbian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Concubine Rong, the granddaughter of Yu Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who were important figures belonging to the other two factions, respectively. Although Concubine De and Concubine Rong are not as beautiful and intelligent as the queen. But he is younger than the queen, and he is more gentle and obedient.

Compared with this kind of harem fun of coping with errands, Liu Yan takes a fancy to another person, that is, the beloved daughter of Cheng Mi Nanfeng in the imperial history, the newly named Mi Cairen.

It was a fluke that this woman could be found by Liu Yan in the vast harem. If it weren't for Liu Yan's recent idle years, I'm afraid that this woman would have to die in the palace. Because Minanfeng was reprimanded for offending Han Kemin by offending Han Kemin soon after sending his daughter to the palace, the daughter he sent to the palace was naturally ignored. Moreover, this girl is stunning, and the other palace maids are naturally afraid that she will be seen by the emperor one day. After being pampered, she endangered herself, so she was arranged to clean the toilet.

It just so happened that Liu Yan rode a horse and archery that day, and galloped freely in the palace. In the end, because of internal urgency, I went to the toilet cleaned by Mi Cairen. When Mi Cairen suddenly saw the emperor, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and retreated. Liu Yan could see at a glance that although this woman was unkempt. The clothes are shabby, but there is a beauty that is difficult to hide. Moreover, the few steps she took to observe etiquette were obviously not comparable to ordinary palace maids. So he asked. Mi Cairen behaved decently, the narrative was clear, and Liu Yan was very happy.

After grooming and tidying up Mi Cairen is amazing, and she is not as charming as the queen, but the kind that is Chu Chu moving, Liu Yan was overjoyed when he saw it, and Liu Yan was fortunate to be Mi Cairen that night. Who knows that Mi Cai people are not only beautiful and moving, but also have a strange interest, and whenever the love is irrepressible, they will scratch and bite Liu Yan. Although Liu Yan has so many concubines, who dares to treat the emperor like this? Therefore, Liu Yan felt that it was very novel, and he was sealed as a talented person that night. After that, for more than ten days, he stayed in the Micai Palace every night.

This Mi Cai was favored, but he was not guilty of abusing his palace maid before, so that everyone in the harem praised her for her tolerance, and later reached the ears of the queen, so she persuaded Liu Yan to make her a concubine, that is a later story.

Besides, Liu Yan not only got the opportunity to play in his spare time, but also added a new beauty, so he was smiling and in a good mood every day. Reviewing the chapters is also becoming more and more handy, and it can really be said that people are in good spirits when they are happy.

In the afternoon of this day, Wu Sicheng sent a secret letter, which said that the Great Khan of East Turki, Abi Cherier, raised the whole country's troops to conquer the West Turki, and had reached the northern foot of Jinshan.

Liu Yan saw the news and smashed his mouth. It seems that he intends to fight to the death with Anbalturi in Western Turki, and it stands to reason that Abichilir will go all out to the west, and his country will inevitably be empty, which is a God-given opportunity to attack East Turkiche in a big way. However, this year, the Yellow River burst its banks, and after a catastrophe, he was no longer able to start a major war, so he could only watch this opportunity pass.

Wu Sicheng looked at Liu Yan's expression and said softly: "How does the emperor feel when he sees this news?" ”

"How can I feel? We can't send troops this year, aren't we just watching? ”

Wu Sicheng smiled: "No. Enlightening the emperor, Weichen saw two things from this. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Yes. First, Abicheril is not a foolish man, so how dare he ignore my immediate threat and turn to Anbalturi, far away in the West? If he is not dizzy, it means that he knows that our DPRK is unable to send troops, so he can rest assured that he will go to solve the threat from the west, so that he can go all out to deal with our DPRK in the future. ”

Liu Yan's eyebrows moved, his eyes rolled a few times, and he said strangely: "No, if he is in Jinshan now, then the timing of his troops, coupled with the preparation to send troops, is it difficult."

This is the point of the first article that Weichen said. He had accurate intelligence to find out the news that our bank had burst on the Yellow River, and it was accurate enough to analyze that our dynasty would not be able to raise troops this year! In other words, Abichellir has already established a fairly efficient espionage system in our country. ”

Liu Yan immediately stood up from the dragon chair when he heard this: "This matter must be investigated immediately!" Do not tolerate adultery! ”

"Wechen obeys! This second article is that Abichilir knows very well that the Liaodong Army is preparing to attack Goryeo and cannot divide troops to attack him, and the Liaodong offensive route is also a little far away, and from Youzhou to Shuozhou, the Linzhou line is unable to launch a large army because the Yellow River has washed out the road and lost the logistics support, Fengzhou and Lingzhou are the gateways to Chang'an, and the road is difficult, and it is difficult to send troops from this line alone. That's why he dared to go on such a bold expedition to the west. However, he overlooked one thing, although our army is not capable of waging a big war, if the goal is to touch the tiger's butt and tear off one or two tiger skins, it is still more than enough. ”

Liu Yan squinted at Wu Sicheng and said, "It seems that your kid is also restless, thinking about finding something for them to do all day long." Anyway, which generals do you want me to give a lecture to Abicheril? ”

Wu Sicheng raised his head and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have to give an order, as long as the content of this letter is informed to the generals guarding the border passes, and let them take the best measures, maybe their attack effect will be better than what we asked them to do." ”

"You kid's heart is really bad." Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. (To be continued......)
