What is the Way of the Monarch?

The way of the monarch and the minister is that not only the king must have the appearance of the king, but the minister must have the appearance of the minister, and for some things that will affect the decision of the monarch, the courtier cannot rush to say it before he has formed a formal idea and affect the idea of the monarch.

Of course, this is not only the respect for the monarch, but also the protection of the courtiers themselves.

Because even if the wrath of the king does not necessarily mean that there will be a river of blood, but even if Tu Sheng is not a real king now, Yan Nan, who has long been accustomed to being a minister, will not make such a mistake lightly.

So after seeing Jiao Jiajun leave and settle down in Benzhou City, Yan Nan quietly found Cheng You.

Because the rest of Tu Shengjun is not incapable of discussing his ideas with Yan Nan, but for his own ideas, Yan Nan knows that only Cheng You can really answer questions for himself.

And after entering Benzhou City, Cheng You and the others not only had their own rooms, but even their own residences. After all, as a county seat in a state, after Balertu took all the civil officials of Benzhou City with Jiao's army, there were also enough mansions in the city to house the civil and military officials of Tushengjun.

Then after beckoning Yan Nan to sit down in the study of the mansion where he was not yet hot, Cheng You didn't seem to be surprised that Yan Nan would come to his mansion in a hurry and said, "Is Lord Yan here for the court or the attitude of the Queen Mother towards the eldest prince?" ”

"The master is wise, but I don't know if the master knows why the Queen Mother of the Virgin wants to condone our army's actions in Benzhou?"

As early as when he explained to Tu Sheng outside the city, Yan Nan had already noticed that Cheng You had also noticed this matter. So in the case that I can't figure out the reason. Yan Nancai wanted to hear what Cheng You's explanation would be.

Otherwise, in the end, she really fell into the calculations of the Queen Mother, and Yan Nan was unwilling to make a wedding dress for others.

Because even if this is not to say that Yan Nan and others are forcing Tu Sheng to seize the throne of Beiyue Kingdom, if it were not for the dissatisfaction with the diagram lineage, Yan Nan would not have abandoned the post of secretary of the military department along with the troops of the Gongjun Palace. And since Yannan has chosen this path, he must not only get the maximum benefit from it, but also fail lightly.

Otherwise, it would not only be Yan Nan who would destroy Miè together, but also the entire Yan family.

It's just that even though Yan Nan was not wary of the Beiyue Imperial Court and the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother in the past, Tu Shengjun's current dominance in the Benzhou battle situation still made Yan Nan feel that there must be something hidden inside.

Seeing Yan Nan's nervousness, Cheng You waved his hand and said, "Lord Yan doesn't have to worry, or maybe Lord Yan thinks it doesn't matter what he thinks." Is the Queen Mother just targeting our army? You must know that there are still Xianyang Gong, Yangguo, and Dashang who are making trouble now! ”

"This ....... What does the Master mean that the Queen Mother is really calculating? ”

Hearing Cheng You mention Yangguo and Dashangguo, Yan Nan's face softened.

Because compared with the Tusheng Army, which has not yet officially established itself, not only the Yang Kingdom of Tuyang and the Great Shang State of Commerce have been officially established, but even the Xianyang Gongtu has made a fuss in Xianzhou. So don't look at it now, it's mainly Tu Sheng's army resisting Jiao's army. Take the eagerness of the imperial court dù as an example. Tu Shengjun is really nothing compared to others. The premise is that they are not in a hurry to destroy the Jiao family army and the Mu family army.

So nodding, Cheng You said: "That's for sure, although Mu Jiajun and Jiao Jiajun have a deeper relationship with the little emperor. However, if we start from the overall situation of stability, it is impossible for the Queen Mother to keep her eyes on Xian and Ben. Therefore, it is very likely that when the imperial court was clearly placing its troops in Xian and Ben Prefectures, the Queen Mother of Our Lady was secretly designing the Great Shang Kingdom and the Yang Kingdom, and even the Prime Minister's Mansion......"

“…… Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Although he attaches more importance to Yangguo and Dashangguo, when he heard Cheng You mention the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Nan's expression couldn't help but change.

Because before the Yang State and the Great Shang State became independent, and even before the attempt to become self-reliant during the Xianyang Gongtu, Tu Shengjun already knew about the Prime Minister's Mansion's attempt to become self-reliant.

It's just that with the status of the Prime Minister's Mansion as the current court of the North Yue Kingdom, it is not easy to stand on its own feet and leave the capital safely, and I believe that this is also the reason why the Prime Minister's Mansion does not dare to act rashly.

But the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Tu Shengjun is not deep after all, so even if he is very curious about how the Prime Minister's Mansion will become self-reliant in the end, and even whether it can succeed in self-reliance, Yan Nan finally hesitated a little and said: "But with the relationship between Yangguo and Tianyingmen, does the master think that the Queen Mother will really calculate Yangguo?" ”

"Huh! Did the Queen Mother really not calculate the Yangguo again? Presumably, after those Tianyingmen disciples went to Yangguo, even if they would not set up Yangguo, but before the funeral of the Queen Mother, it would be impossible for Yangguo to really get out of Yuzhou! It is also impossible to enter Yuzhou City. ”

"Funeral day? I see, it seems that the Queen Mother is indeed a little old! However, not to mention whether Yangguo can afford to wait, it seems that we must help the eldest prince lay a foundation before the death of the Queen Mother, and even clear the rule of the Yangguo and the Beiyue court! Otherwise......"

Otherwise what? Naturally, otherwise, he may not have lived so long.

After all, don't look at the age of the Queen Mother Tulian, as the same generation as the former emperor Tu Lian and the king of Gongjun, Yan Nan and Cheng Youke are also the elders of the Queen Mother Tulian. Therefore, even though he didn't think that he would soon follow in the footsteps of King Tu of Gong County, Yan Nan also didn't feel that he had more waiting time than Yang Guo.

Therefore, even if he didn't look down on Tu Sheng's ability, if he wanted Tu Sheng to become the emperor of Beiyue, Yan Nan felt that he had to defeat Yang Guo and the Queen Mother.

As soon as he heard Yan Nan's words, Cheng You's originally extremely stretched expression also became solemn and said: "What Lord Yan said is very true, it seems that the front is indeed too optimistic. ”

"Master's words are serious, but what does Master think we should do now, or what more should we do under the condition of continuing to weaken the Jiao Jiajun and the Mu Jiajun? Otherwise, I don't know what the Queen Mother is calculating, it will be really difficult to feel at ease, after all, sooner or later, we will have to find a way to help the eldest prince face the Queen Mother together. ”

Although it is not that the Empress Dowager regarded the Empress Dowager as the only enemy, in terms of danger, Yan Nan was indeed extremely worried about the influence of the Empress Dowager on the court of the North Yue Kingdom and even on the Tu Sheng army.

Because even if Concubine Xia seems to be on the side of Tu Shengjun, the will she really represents is the will of Tianyingmen, and with the investment of the Queen Mother and Tianyingmen in the matter of equality between men and women, it is impossible for Tu Shengjun to avoid the issue of formal confrontation with the Queen Mother in the future.

Of course, this does not mean that Tu Shengjun cannot choose to support the gender equality policy of Tianyingmen and the Queen Mother, but in the situation that everyone can support the gender equality policy of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, how to make the Queen Mother choose Tu Shengjun is very important.
