Seeing Pang Gang's unhappy face, Li Yan still held his head high and said: "Lord Wang, it's not that you deliberately raise the bar with you, but the fact is that this is the case, and the minister has to report it according to the truth." ”

"Tell the truth?" Pang Gang felt a greasy taste in his heart, no wonder you were clicked by Li Zicheng in history, I feel that your IQ is high, but your EQ is not good, but looking at Li Yan's serious look, Pang Gang had no choice but to ask helplessly: "Okay, then you can tell this king, what good proposal do you have?" ”

Li Yan thought for a while and said: "The prince made his career in Shandong, when the first Qin, King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and the world was changed, and King Wu was the first to assist the meritorious Jiang Taigong Yu Qi, and the younger brother of King Wu, Duke Zhou, was sealed in Lu. Confucius was born in Shandong, so he has the reputation of "because of its vulgarity, simplicity and etiquette", "virtuous and meritorious", and "crown with clothes and shoes in the world". Now that the prince is about to ascend to the throne and establish a new dynasty, this country name naturally has to be more cautious, so "

"Stop, stop, stop!" Hearing this, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little painful, quickly interrupted Li Yan's words, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about those useless ones, let's make a long story short, this king just wants to ask you, do you have any good country names you come up with?" ”

"Of course, the students also came up with a country name." Speaking of this, Li Yan's spirit was also lifted, and he said: "The student thinks that a monarch must have a good mind. Qu Li" has a cloud: Hua Zhi who is the monarch of the country. Therefore, students think that our country is called "Hua", which should be very suitable, I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

After speaking, Li Yan looked at Pang Gang with expectant eyes.

"Huada Huaguo!" Pang Gang muttered a few words and said nothing, his own nation is called the Chinese nation, and the country is called Huaguo and Dahua, which seems to be good.

Thinking of this, Pang Gang felt a little moved in his heart, after all, the country name Dahua gave him a more familiar and cordial feeling.

However, as a superior, he naturally couldn't show his preferences so easily, Pang Gang didn't immediately echo Li Yan's words, but looked at everyone again. Lang Sheng asked: "Li Zanhua proposed to set our country name as a "Hua" character, what do you think?" ”

"Hua"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other a few times, and Da Zhuang took the lead and said: "Lord, I am a rough person, I don't understand what the country name is, as long as you think it's good, it will be done, we don't have any opinions!" ”

"What about you? Do they all agree with Lord Huang's words? Pang Gang's eyes slowly glanced at the generals, and all the generals sitting next to Da Zhuang nodded silently. Anyway, for them who don't have much culture, what is the country name called, it's okay to call a cat or a dog, as long as they have a name, they are not as sour as those literati who are crepe, they have to pay attention to the occasion or fit or something, that's not what our martial artists do.

"Well, the martial artists voted in favor, and then it's up to those Wenchen." Pang Gang set his sights on Wei Tongtong again. Since Wei was considered an old qualification among the ministers in the same year, he was fair both as a person and an official on weekdays. is his cheap father-in-law again, and Wei Manyao gave birth to a son for Pang Gang, and when Pang Gang ascends the throne, maybe the crown prince's position will fall to him in the future. Therefore, those civil officials have a faint momentum led by him.

Although Pang Gang also sees this phenomenon, he doesn't want to change or correct it, after all, partisan disputes have existed since ancient times, and no dynasty or generation can really prohibit it, so how can he Pang Gang avoid vulgarity.

When everyone's eyes were fixed on Wei Tongnian's face, Wei Tongnian's gaze also stayed on Pang Gang's face. Wei Tongnian also noticed that when Li Yan said the word "Hua", Pang Gang's expression quickly showed a look of satisfaction, which showed that he was satisfied with the country name Pang Gang. In that case, do you have any reason to oppose it? …,

"For Li Gongzi's proposal, the official feels very satisfied, the word "Hua" not only exhausts the meaning of my Han people, but also quite my Confucian essence, so the official has no opinion. ”

Wei said this in the same year. It almost represented the opinion of the civil officials, and the next thing was easy to do, and the civil officials also expressed their support for the country name, so the country name was decided.

After deciding on the name of the country. Pang Gang was in a good mood, and looked at Li Yan with a smile and said: "Li Zanhua, the country name you proposed today has been approved by everyone, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service. ”

As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone looked at Li Yan with envious eyes, this is the boss's promise, with this promise, as long as your request is not too much, Pang Gang will generally agree.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan just shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, your kindness has been accepted, but it is just a name, how dare you ask for a reward?" ”

"Huh!" Pang Gang smiled, he didn't expect Li Yan to be a righteous gentleman who didn't covet rewards, and after thinking about it, Pang Gang said: "Although you don't covet rewards, this king can't just forget it, otherwise how will everyone obey this king in the future, so let's do it, this king will reward you with 5,000 silver this time."

At this time, Li Yan interrupted him inappropriately and interjected: "Lord Wang, please wait!" ”

Pang Gang's eyes froze, and he looked at Li Yan with some dissatisfaction and said, "Well, Jingbai, are you okay?" ”

Li Yan stood up boldly, bowed to Pang Gang and said in a deep voice: "If the prince really wants to reward the student, then the student is willing to exchange this reward for a person's life, please allow the prince!" ”

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, Pang Gang's face began to change, I saw that his face sank, and the air around him seemed to be a little colder for a while, everyone was silent and didn't dare to make a sound, and none of the people present were stupid, they immediately thought of who Li Yan wanted to intercede for.

Pang Gang was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Jingbai, it's not easy for this king to promise you a reward, are you sure you really want to intercede for someone who framed you?" ”

Li Yan shook his teeth, a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded violently and said, "Yes, the student is sure." Although he was sorry for the student first, but after all, the student had a fellowship with him, and he could be unkind, but the student could not be unjust, and the student still decided to save him this time. In the future, he has nothing to do with the students anyway. ”

After the confessions of some prisoners in the Dashun army, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing's broken incident has long been known to everyone, and everyone here will naturally not understand. Niu Jinxing tried to murder Li Yan three times and twice, but in the end, Li Yan still wanted to protect him, and everyone didn't know what to say at this moment.

Pang Gang shook his head helplessly, this elite soldier who obviously had tens of thousands of Henan battalions in his hands in history, but after Li Zicheng ordered him to cut himself, he did not hesitate to drink the poisonous wine given by Li Zicheng, which shows his foolishness and loyalty.

All right. Although this person is stupid and loyal, but as the person who admires and likes the superior the most, Pang Gang sighed, shook his head and said: "Okay, since you insist on this, this king is not reluctant." Speaking of this thunder, Pang Gang hesitated for a moment and then said: "In this way, you will take this king's edict to the prison and bring Niu Jinxing out, and then give him a sum of silver to let him go home to retire." The next time this king sees him in the enemy camp, it won't be such a cheap thing, do you understand? ”

Heard that Pang Gang agreed to his request. Li Yan's face also showed excitement, and he bowed down and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your grace!" ”…,

Pang Gang waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "Okay, don't thank King Ben, you remember, there are still a few days before the Zen throne ceremony, there are a lot of things to do, you and Wen Renjun must assist Lord Wei to do this well, understand?" ”

"Grass. This kid is really lucky, and it is a great honor to be able to assist Lord Wei in organizing the Zen throne ceremony together. The surrounding officials looked at Li Yan differently at this time.

Li Yan also knew that Pang Gang was giving himself a long face at this time, so he immediately said with a straight face: "Yes, the student will live up to your trust." We must cooperate with Lord Wei and do a good job in this Zen ceremony! ”

"Well, it's okay, you go down first!" Pang Gang nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Li Yan to go down. But Li Yan didn't go down. Still standing in place and looking at him, Pang Gang was anxious and strange, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Jingbai, are you still in trouble?" ”

Li Yan arched his hand again and said, "Since the prince ordered the student to cooperate with Lord Wei in handling the Zen throne ceremony, the student has to ask the prince for advice. ”

"What's the matter?"

Li Yan stared at Pang Gang and said word by word: "Since the prince is going to be a big treasure, the harem naturally cannot be presided over by no one, I heard that the prince has five wives and concubines, oh, by the way, there is still Princess Kunxing who was married by the emperor, and there are six in the prince's harem, I don't know which one the prince plans to set up as the lord of the harem?" ”

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, everyone around them began to discuss, this matter is actually something that everyone is very concerned about, Pang Gang is about to become the emperor, and as his subordinates, they are naturally facing the problem of standing in line. Since ancient times, for the courtiers, standing in line is a very mysterious and very important knowledge, and it is easy to get glory and wealth in the future, but if it is wrong, it is not uncommon to distribute, raid the house, or even be wiped out.

Although Pang Gang is not yet thirty years old, it seems that it is not a big problem to live for another few decades, but it is better to queue up sooner rather than later, and it would be a great thing for him to queue up early.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Pang Gang with blank eyes, expecting him to reveal the candidate for the future queen of the main palace.

Everyone's eyes Pang Gang also saw it in their eyes, but he also had his own difficulties, everyone knew that there were only two candidates for the future Zhenggong Niangniang, one was Kong Ruolan, who was the first to marry Pang Gang, and the other was Wei Manyao, and none of them could be qualified to live in the main palace. As long as Pang Gang personally said the candidate for the empress of the main palace, then the future emperor of Dahua would definitely be her son.

But the problem now is that Pang Gang doesn't want his subordinates to get involved in the dispute in the harem so early, and Pang Gang is also very uninterested in the rules of passing on heirs in later generations.

Under the gaze of everyone, after thinking for a while, Pang just held back this sentence: "Is this candidate for the main palace, this king has already made a decision, and the harem will set up two main palaces, divided into two palaces in the east and west, and the general size of the two palaces." ”

"What?"

"Ridiculous!"

As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone was shaken, and the two main palaces were set up? This kind of thing is something that has never happened in the past, can it be done?

"Lord Wang, this is too ridiculous." Li Yan was also thundered by Pang Gang's words, and stammered: "As the saying goes, there are no two days. There are no two masters of the people, how can there be two main palaces in the harem, isn't this a mess? ”

The people around him also persuaded one after another, and even Da Zhuang also persuaded: "Yes, lord, if there are two main palaces in this harem, if there is a dispute in the harem in the future, who should be honored by the will, wouldn't it be a big chaos?" Not to mention the harem. Let's just say that the common people still have a big woman and a concubine in their families, isn't it a mess for you to do this? ”…,

Among the people, only Wei Tongnian did not say anything, firstly, his identity as the abbot of the country is more sensitive, and he should avoid this kind of thing, and secondly, he is also afraid that he will be misunderstood by Pang Gang if he interjects indiscriminately.

Seeing everyone's unanimous opposition, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, and glared at everyone dissatisfied, "You guys are really, it's the king's family affair to set up a few main palaces in this king's harem." It's you, salty and don't worry about eating radishes, and if you really want to be idle, you can do things all. Sensei is in this fundamental king! ”

"You"

Seeing Pang Gang so scoundrel, everyone couldn't help but be angry for a while, and they all said that the heavenly family is selfless, how can such a major event as the queen be said to be your family matter, this is the future mother of the country, but you can't just set up a few.

Seeing that everyone was still going to admonish him, Pang Gang was annoyed for a while, and he shouted angrily with wide eyes: "If you chirp crookedly, this king will appoint Princess Kunxing as the master of the harem." What do you think? ”

"What? That's unacceptable! ”

When everyone heard this, they were almost frightened, if Princess Kunxing was appointed as the queen of the main palace, then if she gave birth to a prince in the future, what was the difference between it and the old Zhu family sitting on the country again.

In the future, if you wait until Princess Kunxing's son sits on the throne. Can these courtiers, who overthrew his grandfather in the past, have good fruit to eat? That's unacceptable!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get anxious, and in the end, they had no choice but to compromise, okay. Since the boss wants to set up two palaces in the east and west, it is up to him to go, and as for the canonization of the prince, let's talk about it later

Just when Pang Gang was busy with the Zen throne ceremony and the canonization of the queen, Hong Chengchou also led an army of 20,000 to return to Jinling.

Due to Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, Jinling at this time was already in chaos, and the camp in the western suburbs also became a sea of corpses and blood because of the war.

Due to Ding Qun's stubborn resistance, Zuo Liangyu's army of 50,000 did not go well, and it had been attacking for two days, but the camp in the western suburbs was still standing in place, and although countless soldiers were shouting slogans to attack, each attack left nothing but hundreds of corpses.

"Brothers, rush!"

"Kill!"

Outside the camp in the western suburbs, groups of soldiers rushed towards the camp with ladders, planks and shields held high, but each time they were shot back by the bows and crossbows behind the camp

Zuo Liangyu stood four hundred steps away from the camp, looking at the camp in front of him with a calm face, it was this camp that blocked his 50,000 troops for two whole days, and he still gained nothing after losing nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, which also made Zuo Liangyu feel extremely aggrieved.

Seeing that the attack in front was unfavorable, Zuo Yuliang, who had been standing behind Zuo Liangyu, couldn't help but persuade: "Father, the brothers have been fighting for two days, and they are already physically and mentally exhausted. ”

"No!" Zuo Yuqing on the side immediately objected: "Not to mention that it is time-consuming and laborious to transfer the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is too late, if we transfer them, then our control over Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also quickly drop to the freezing point, then our efforts over the years will be in vain." ”

Zuo Yuliang sneered: "Second brother, don't forget, if we can't pick up this nail left by Hong Chengchou in the shortest possible time, what is the use of our more soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Did you just give up Jinling? ”

The importance of Jinling's location is naturally undoubted, and in addition to Beijing, the city of the Ming Dynasty is probably the most important in Jinling. Besides, there is a complete set of teams in Jinling City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second imperial court, although Emperor Chongzhen announced the Zen throne, but as long as he controls this team in Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Zuo Liangyu will naturally not understand such benefits.

Although Zuo Yuliang is a rough mine, he is not as scheming as Zuo Yuqing, but his words are also very reasonable, and Zuo Yuqing was choked and speechless.

Seeing that Zuo Yuqing was choked by himself and couldn't speak, Zuo Yuliang, who was difficult to breathe, couldn't help but feel proud, he glanced at Zuo Yuqing with a provocative gaze before saying to Zuo Liangyu: "Father, how to decide, please let your old man decide!" ”

Zuo Liangyu didn't seem to see the two fighting openly and secretly, just looking at the soldiers who were still rushing forward in front of him, and were beaten back, his dark brows couldn't stop shaking, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also wrinkled into a river!
