"Master...... Is he alive? ”

When Su Yan asked this sentence, he felt that it was not appropriate, so he had to turn his face away and ask as if he didn't ask.

Li Yannian said: "Your Majesty, no one knows whether the forward general is alive or dead. ”

Yuan Bolang glared at Li Yannian, since you don't even know whether he is alive or dead, and you still run around talking nonsense, isn't it that you can't find it yourself? Everyone knows that the new emperor of Lu Dao's feelings for Liu Wenyan are very complicated, both respectful and hope to break away from the control and spread his wings as soon as possible.

Liu Wenyan's death is a relief for the new emperor.

"Alas! Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen my master. Su Yan looked at the snow scene and said with emotion, "It's been four or five months, he met me in a hurry before he left, and I didn't go to see him, who would have thought that he would be gone for half a year, and I'm afraid I won't see him again." ”

Yuan Bolang arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please mourn." ”

Su Yan glanced at Yuan Bolang in surprise and said, "Yuan Xiang, don't you want your master to be alive?" ”

Li Yannian was still holding the letter, and Su Yan wanted to take it and take a look, but he still didn't answer it after all.

"When it snowed last year, I was in Xuzhou City, and it was snowing so heavily outside, I really wanted to go out and play for a while. But I didn't have that kind of mood, the master said he was coming, but no matter how he waited, the master still didn't return to Xuzhou City after all. Master, he owes me a promise. ”

When Su Yan said this, his face also sobbed a little.

"But the master still helped me calm the world and stabilize my throne. He was a hero of the Great Shun Dynasty. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Bolang felt unhappy.

It is well known how much power Liu Wenyan has, and what makes Yuan Bolang angry is that Liu Wenyan interfered with the new emperor's selection of concubines. Replace the queen who he thinks will be the best in the future. And the current queen Sun Xiaoyu. It's just a vase after all. It's not enough to honor the world.

Now that the new emperor is there to remember the past, he has opinions that are not suitable for the time being.

"After Master Lu Dao had an accident, I didn't even go to see Shi Niang's side, I don't know if Master Lu Dao's family is okay."

Yuan Bolang interjected: "There is no need for the emperor to worry about these, the daughters of the Liu family are safe for the time being." ”

After speaking, Yuan Bolang glanced at Li Yannian with a narrow look, and Su Yan also asked Li Yannian very cooperatively: "Li Aiqing, has Ling Yuan found it?" ”

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned. Li Yannian said helplessly: "There is no news yet." ”

"That should have been hidden by the master, the master is still very good at treating a few masters. Li Aiqing don't worry. I believe that Ling Yuan will also have a good life. ”

If this was not what the emperor said, but which minister in the court said it, Li Yannian would have to go up and work hard.

Even if he acquiesced in this "elopement" marriage, but now Liu Wenyan's life and death are unknown, it is to make his daughter a widow, and she is a widow with no official name.

"Alas!"

After the last moment, Su Yan sighed again, and finally took the letter from Li Yannian, opened it with some hesitation, and when he saw the content on it, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Commander. This is indeed the name given to the master by the officers and men of the new army. The master may not really be dead. Su Yan closed the letter, and seemed to be a little helpless. Two Aiqing, you should go and check, whether the master is alive or dead, after all, you still need an exact news. ”

Su Yan lost the interest in having a snowball fight, turned around and walked in the direction of the Yaqian Palace, and the palace maids followed closely at this time.

After walking out for a while, Su Yan seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Oh, that's right." If there is any news, I will be notified as soon as possible, and ...... By the way, I will inform the teacher. She must be more concerned. ”

Seeing the emperor return to the Yaqian Palace, Yuan Bolang knew that he would leave if he didn't leave at this time. glanced at Li Yannian with a side face, Li Yannian seemed to have lost the mood to laugh with him at this time, and the two of them, one left and one right, walked in the direction of the palace gate.

"That guy, is he alive or dead?"

After walking for a while, Yuan Bolang couldn't help but ask sideways.

Li Yannian was asked by the emperor about his daughter Li Sha'er, and he was angry, and his tone was not as deferential as before at this time, and said: "Yuan Xiang wants to know about Lu Dao, why don't you ask Your Majesty?" ”

Yuan Bolang heard what this meant, that is, he was not dead. After all, no one was sure that Liu Wenyan was dead. If you want to say that Liu Wenyan beat the Turks all over the ground to find teeth, but his own boss died first, and no one dares to believe it.

"This surnamed Liu, he died when he died. Running back again, is Chang'an City not chaotic enough? It's just that those boys who haven't grown up all day long are hanging around in front of them all day long, plus Liu Wenyan, there is still a stable life in Chang'an City? ”

Yuan Bolang originally thought that Liu Yu was dead, and felt that he had eliminated a big enemy in his heart. He put all his thoughts on how to deal with those young Zhuang factions, and now that the more treacherous and cunning Liu Wenyan came back, it was like a hanging sword falling to the ground.

Li Yannian sneered slightly: "Yuan Xiang, this seems to be wrong. If there is no Liu Wenyan, do you think you can handle the border affairs? ”

Yuan Bolang was slightly surprised, and immediately thought of what Li Yannian meant.

He's talking about Blossom Peace.

Li Yannian continued: "Liu Wenyan is dead, and the person surnamed Hua will definitely not take His Majesty and the Manchu ministers in his eyes. Soldiers obey the orders of the commander and do not obey the emperor's orders, such soldiers are handsome soldiers, and the commander will usurp the throne at any time. But what if Liu Wenyan is not dead? ”

A question was thrown to Yuan Bolang, and Yuan Bolang no longer complained, but carefully considered the problem.

It is impossible to let Hua Ji'an hand over the military power smoothly, even Liu Wenyan does not have the ability. Although Liu Wenyan led his troops to win the battle of Jin Yaocheng, Hua Ji'an had already taken over the power after that. Liu Wenyan is at most an outdated coach.

But this outdated coach has a large number of fans. After pacifying the Turkic calamity, the two powerful ministers who would have endangered the orthodoxy of the imperial power would fight to the death in the army. That may not be a good thing for the imperial court.

"The most important thing is to investigate whether that guy is alive or dead."

…………

The snow in Chang'an City after the autumn has been stopped for more than ten days.

On October 14, Yuan Bolang hurried into the palace. Although this day was not the day of the court, the emperor summoned the ministers of the six ministries to the Yaqian Hall to discuss the matter, and if the six ministries were convened in such a grand manner, it must be something related to the overall situation of the court and politics to discuss.

"Those boys who haven't grown their hair yet, they must have succeeded."

From the end of the imperial examination in May, the emperor, after breaking away from Liu Yu's control, devoted himself to reform.

From land taxation, labor service, military salaries, to agriculture, commerce, and handicrafts, the aspects involved cover the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of the common people, but because there are many aspects involved, there are also many places to be demonstrated, so that this reform has always been in the preparatory stage.

Some of the ministers of the old school were mainly Yuan Bolang, the minister on the right, and Lan He, the minister on the left, although they were quite critical of the reform, they still did not put forward much opinion. The main reason is that many aspects of these reforms seem to be thunderous, but the raindrops are very small, and they will not shake the national capital, let alone hurt the interests of large landlords and eunuchs.

The new official took office with three fires, and the new emperor took office, and it was also appropriate to burn the fire. Now that the world is decided, there will be no big enemies in the country in the future, and some Fanbang and Nanban will not be able to do anything. The security of the country and the people is also a good thing for officials, at least they can handle the government in peace in the future, and they will be able to emphasize literature over military force.

At the gate of the Yaqian Palace, Zuo Xianglanhe didn't go in and waited there, and saw Yuan Bolang coming over.

For the current head of civil officials, the left and right ministers have a lot of status in the court, and they even have the right to veto the decisions made by the emperor, of course, this also requires a courage, although they have the power to veto the affairs of the court, but the emperor has the power to remove them. They still have to weigh it before vetoing it.

"Why did Sangkook come this night?" Lan He looked a little nervous and walked over.

"I have to come today!" Yuan Bolang said coldly.

Lan He naturally knew that Yuan Bolang's coldness was not aimed at him, but at the newly rising Shaozhuang faction in the DPRK, and he didn't mind.

"Yuan Xiangguo, something happened. It's not what you and I thought before, those hairy boys can't make waves. This time it's about the north. ”

"What's going on up north? Could it be that Liu Wenyan didn't die, or that the Turks were pacified? ”

Lan He reluctantly pulled up Yuan Bolang's sleeve and dragged it into the courtyard, saying, "Come in, I'm afraid you didn't come, we haven't discussed what the emperor asks, it's not easy to deal with it." It's good that you're here. ”

"What the hell is going on, let's make it clear first." Yuan Bolang originally had a problem with Lan He, and asked impatiently at this time.

He felt that Lan He was making a bit of a fuss.

Lan He leaned over and said in a low voice: "The Turkic side is here to deliver the national letter!" ”

Yuan Bolang was shocked, didn't Hua Ji'an say that the Turks vowed not to look back? How did it take a blink of an eye to let the Turks hand over the credentials? Could it be that the Turks bypassed the Shun Dynasty army led by Hua Ji'an and were ready to "ask for help" from the Shun court?

If that's the case, then it's a big deal. Was it repaid by Huaji An Zhilu?

"I also asked Gonggong Wu to inquire, saying that the national letter only arrived yesterday. The details are not clear, but according to the situation, the emperor also seems to be subject to others. According to Gonggong Wu, the emperor didn't sleep all night when he saw Guoshu last night, and was alone in the Yaqian Palace. Gonggong Wu also said that he saw the emperor wiping his tears alone. ”

What Gonggong Wu said was not clear in the first place, Lan He was also far-fetched, and Yuan Bolang was even more confused when he heard it.

The Turks just sent a letter of state, why would the emperor hide and cry alone?

Yuan Bolang followed Lan He into the Yaqian Palace, at this time the stove in the Yaqian Hall was burning, the inside was warm, the crowds were crowded, and the ministers of the six departments were all above the third grade. Yuan Bolang also found two "big shots" who had not been seen for a long time from the crowd, the royal national treasure couple four princesses Su Bi and Chai Jin.

Even the four princesses and couples who have been in the air for a long time are here, which means that it must not be as simple as a simple national letter. (To be continued......)
