The coffin of Bai Zheng was sent back to Heluo City, and after some mourning in the Xiangu Valley, he buried Bai Zhengguang. Even the question, who was far away in Shifeng City, after hearing the news of Bai Zheng's death, also rushed to Heluo City, just to express his last condolences for this old friend.

But Bai Zheng's death could not dispel the ambition of Xian Valley to dominate the world. With An Yun, who is full of talents, and hundreds of thousands of iron-blooded soldiers, he is unwilling to be depressed. Therefore, he told the people who came to Stone Wind City that he wanted to start war again immediately.

"The young master has great ambitions, which is naturally the blessing of the entire Anyun. However, the young master must also understand that reckless use of force will only put the entire An Yun in a difficult situation. What do you rely on to fight a war? It relies on strong national strength, excellent generals and elite soldiers. And although I, An Yun, have recovered a little, it is still far from what it was back then. If the young master wants to conquer everything and be invincible, it is best to calm down and develop An Yun's strength. The young master is still young, and he has time, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. After listening to the words of the Ken Valley, he persuaded him.

"But General Bai died on the battlefield, and he had nothing to do with Fan Guanyi in Jiangnan. Mr. Dao is a good friend of General Bai, don't you want General Bai to take revenge? And Wei Zeng is my Anyun's great enemy, and now he is colluding with the Zhantu people, if he is not eliminated, I am afraid that it will cause a big disaster in the future. But how can they be defeated without fighting? Ken Guzhong said unwillingly.

"I also hope to defeat Fan Jiyi immediately, and I also want to capture Wei Zeng immediately, but everything can be done without thinking. Strong national strength is fundamental, and excellent generals are the key. Without these two things, it would be difficult for us to win even a war. The young master must not be greedy for merit, let alone be rash, and if you want to be fast, you will not reach it, this truth must be understood by the young master. What's more, we failed in our attack on Jiangnan, and now that the court is in turmoil, if the young master insists on using troops, I am afraid that the entire Heluo City will be in chaos. He asked, and continued.

Xiangu is young and vigorous, let him learn to forbear, how can he accept it? In his opinion, the so-called national strength, the so-called elite soldiers, is not a problem at all. But after listening to the last sentence, he could only admit it. Those powerful people who are right next to him, if they really want to make trouble, I am afraid that strengthening Heluo City will become a cage that he will never be able to get out of.

When he saw that he didn't speak, he thought that he had understood the stakes, and after a few words of persuasion, he resigned to Xianguzhong.

It's just that in the heart of the Xiangu, there is something else to think about.

"I, Anyun, am so strong, but weak in national strength? Is there a shortage of talent? Is it impossible to win by using troops abroad? If it weren't for General Bai's death this time, the entire Jiangnan would already be in my pocket. If it weren't for the opposition of the powerful people in the court, I would have to conquer Jiangnan again.

"There is nothing to be afraid of external troubles, but internal worries are the most terrible. Being tied by these old ministers, so that I can't make a big difference, I'm really unwilling. Mr. Lan Qi once told me about the conspiracy, the conspiracy, and it seems that I should use it now. When I settle these old ministers, I will definitely lead the troops to recruit in person. As long as I go out myself, there is no enemy that I cannot defeat. The more Xian Guzhong thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and the more he thought about it, the more conceited he became, and finally pointed the finger at a group of Anyun ministers.

Others didn't understand the mind of the Henya, but how could Lan Qi, who was now the head of the cabinet, not understand? Of course, he wouldn't let Xian Guzhong do such a thing of self-destruction of the Great Wall. He just skillfully used the conceit in Xiangu to transfer the anger in Xiangu to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and took the opportunity to rectify the atmosphere of Anyun's high-level officials.

Under Lan Qi's mediation, the contradictions between Xian Gu and the old ministers of An Yun did not intensify, and everything went on in an orderly manner as before.

Wei Zeng in the north and Fan Yuyi in the south echoed each other, which put a lot of pressure on the entire Anyun, but hundreds of thousands of iron-blooded troops took a defensive position, and there were no big problems in various places.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed like this, and Lan Qi has let everyone see his ability through his own efforts, and his authority has been established little by little.

Xian Guzhong trusts him very much, thinking that as long as Lan Qi is there, An Yun's magnates will not want to threaten the power in his hands; The powerful ministers of the court, seeing that An Yun's national strength was increasing little by little, recognized Lan Qi and expressed support for Lan Qi's various decrees; And the people in the government and the opposition saw Lan Qi vigorously cracking down on corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they not only applauded, but also praised Lan Qi's personality; As for the magnates of An Yun, seeing that the wood was already in the boat, they naturally didn't say anything more.

Although he has been busy in the past three years, he has been able to give full play to his skills, and Lan Qi's heart is also very happy. As before, avoid all disputes and enjoy life in a quiet town, naturally relaxed and happy; But like now, in a high position, guiding the country, and turning one's own knowledge into an unparalleled achievement, isn't it a kind of happiness?

The wise man is not confused, whether he advances or retreats, blessings will always be with him.

On this day, as usual, after being busy with various official duties, Lan Qi was about to get up and go home, but Shen Deqing suddenly found Lan Qi and said that Xian Guzhong wanted to invite Lan Qi to come over.

"What is the matter with Lord Ken looking for me this time, do you know something?" Lan Qi asked.

"It sounds like it's about the use of foreign troops." Shen Deqing replied.

"In the past three years, Lord Ken has always wanted to personally lead the troops into battle, and I have always dragged him down for various reasons. However, the situation in the DPRK and China has been stable for a long time, and An Yun's national strength is gradually increasing, so I am afraid that this time it will be impossible to persuade him. Lan Qi said.

"Then the teacher is going to persuade him well? Both Fan and Wei Zeng want to live in peace with us, and as long as it is handled properly, war can be avoided. Shen Deqing said.

"Lord Xian is ambitious, how can he tolerate others in his eyes? Since I can't persuade anymore, then I won't persuade me, so I'll let Master Xian send troops. However, I must do all the preparations, regardless of whether the army is a victory or a failure. An Yun must not be messed up. Lan Qi said.

"What the teacher said is that what Kendai means is one aspect, and so is our efforts. As long as we work hard, the good situation in Anyun will definitely continue. Shen Deqing replied.

"Now that you've understood, go down and make arrangements. You have the skills now, and the difference is the qualifications. Meritorious service is the fastest and best way to improve qualifications. As long as you have enough qualifications, I can introduce you to the cabinet as a matter of course. You must work hard and live up to my expectations. Lan Qi said.

Shen Deqing thanked him and went down to do his errands. Lan Qi got into the carriage and headed for the mansion in the valley. (To be continued.) )
