The old man spoke with some concealment. ”

The blind man said as he peeled oranges.

Zheng Fan took the wet towel from Yuexin's hand, wiped his hands and said:

"Don't you have to hide it?"

are all thousand-year-old foxes, what are you telling me about "Liao Zhai"?

"However, the lord, it is not completely uninspired, for example, what the old man said about the arrangement of the prince, his subordinates feel that there is some truth."

"This, it depends on the will of God, but I still think it's a little untrue, the wings of the six princes have been cut off almost, maybe we are already the thickest and darkest hair of the little six princes.

If there is really a possibility of such a situation in the future, will he be able to serve the public if he sits in that position? ”

The blind man put a piece of orange in his mouth and said as he chewed:

"Lord, this is the same as Gao Yi, Dayan, a discerning person can know at a glance that it is divided into three giants, one Hou of Zhenbei, one Hou of Jingnan, and one of Yanjing.

In fact, in terms of real strength, Yanjing's one is the strongest, especially after the horse step on the gate valve, and fought a big victory in the national war, people's hearts are attached to the orthodoxy, which is a natural thing.

For example, Xu Wenzu, at the beginning, Xu Wenzu was willing to open Hutou City for the sake of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but now, people are doing a good job in Nanwangcheng, and they also personally went to the front line to supervise the battle, and ordered the army leaders under his command to fight with the cavalry of the Xishan Battalion of the Western Army and not retreat.

Perhaps, Xu Wenzu still regards himself as a person from Zhenbei Hou Mansion in his heart, but it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to let Xu Wenzu rebel against Zhenbei Hou Mansion like he did at the beginning.

Xu Wenzu is just a microcosm, including Li Bao, the general of Quhecheng not far from us, although he was born in the Zhenbei Army and is also one of the seven general soldiers, but he is now guarding the newly promoted place, as if he has been divided into a small prince;

Even if Li Bao is willing to continue to be the loyal son of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, what about the soldiers and horses under his command? Are you willing to continue to follow him back to Beifeng County to eat sand or wave Bingge to Yanjing?

Orthodoxy can be worthless in many cases, but at other times, it is extremely important.

To put it bluntly, the winner takes all, the game collapses and the Ji family is dead, the legitimacy of the throne will not be worth mentioning, the game is done, it is Tianming in Ji, and the dividends can be given to the next generation to continue to eat.

And the center is an institution, a very large group, with civil and military affairs, hundreds of officials, and systems, it is a behemoth, with tentacles all over the country;

Even if Xiao Liuzi was a plucked chicken and scalded with boiling water before he succeeded to the throne, as long as he put on a dragon robe and sat in that position, he could instantly have extremely powerful authority.

Throughout the ages, there are actually many examples of such children, and the origins of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Hongzhi are not more miserable than those of the sixth son?

As long as he sits in that position, he will automatically gain the allegiance of a large number of people. ”

"I see."

"Lord, to put it bluntly, the former Ji family, although it was the royal family of Yan Kingdom, was actually the leader of a family alliance, and now, there is really the style of the lord of a dynasty.

However, what Yao Zizhan said, if Emperor Yan's body really has a problem, he may immediately restart the use of troops against Qianguo, and this may really be right.

Our Emperor of Yan Kingdom, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is eloquent, but the emperor is also a human after all, in fact, even if he is an immortal, when he learns that his life is about to end, how many can he face calmly?

This is a chessboard that he has painstakingly laid out, how can he tolerate dying before the end of the game? ”

Zheng Fan crossed his hands and silently listened to the blind man's analysis.

"Therefore, when the time comes, even if he knows that it is the right thing to do to continue to recuperate and consolidate his national strength, there is a high probability that Ji Runhao still can't help it.

How many Ming Jun are faint in their later years, and even ruined their reputation for this reason, there are really not a few. ”

"These are all things in the future, after all, although Tian Wujing hinted at me, he didn't admit it personally, I even doubted that there was something wrong with Emperor Yan's body, since even Yao Zizhan, the old man, could it be another smoke bomb?

Anyway, Yanhuang knows how to fish and is also good at fishing. ”

"Well, what the Lord said is true."

"So, let's take it one step at a time."

"By the way, my lord, my subordinates listened to the caravan from Litian City, Mrs. Jingnanhou seems to be pregnant."

"Really, cuckoo?"

"It should be her."

"Let Siniang prepare a gift to send to Litian City, don't be heavy, don't prepare gold and silver, send some really practical and intimate objects to the past."

"My subordinates understand."

At this time, Xiao Yibo came over and reported:

"Master, the Courier from Litian City has sent a military order."

"Bring it."

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and took it.

The military order is not a holy decree, since there is no need to kneel and knock on the case and burn incense or something, besides, even if it is a holy decree, in the army, the Yan people do not have any cumbersome etiquette.

However, it is said that after resigning from the errand of the Guozijian, Emperor Yan ordered Wen Sutong to enter the Ministry of Rites, and unprecedentedly opened the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and asked him to revise the etiquette law of the Yan State.

In fact, it is necessary to set these rules, get a set of formalized things out, and collect the overly loose atmosphere of Yan Guo.

After all, when it comes to cumbersome rules, Qianguo people are the best at it.

Zheng Fan opened the military order, glanced at it, and then placed it on the table.

The blind man also "swept" a glance,

I couldn't help but be a little puzzled:

"Lord, Marquis Jingnan asked me to wait to open up the route of the Tianduan Mountain Range between Shengle City and the Snow Plain?"

"Yes."

The northern frontier of the Jin Kingdom is basically bounded by the Tianduan Mountain Range, and the north of the Tianduan Mountain Range is a vast snowfield.

"Lord, what does this mean?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zheng Fan smiled and said, "It means that if I am asked to clear a way, it is impossible for me to trade with him." ”

"It's not trade, it's for ...... Resort to arms? ”

In the case of elimination, this is the only thing left.

"Help me write a receipt to Litian City, and say I obey."

"Subordinates obey."

"In this matter, we still have to wait for Ah Cheng to come back, but let's be prepared first, there should be a lot of money in the treasury, so I will first purchase horses and armor for a while."

Zheng Fan's original descendants were all very well equipped, but the defeated soldiers of the Jin Kingdom and the soldiers of the nearby families led by the bald clan were too inferior in terms of equipment.

"My subordinates understand, Lord, if you really want to fight, who will you fight? Becoming a country? ”

"The main forces of Chengguo are all in the northeast, and Yan is already strong and weak, so there is no need for any tactical detours to fight them."

"That's ........."

Zheng Fan nodded,

Guessed:

"I'm also suspicious of this, I won't really run to help Chengguo fight the wild people, right?"

………

Yanjing,

Palace

The Imperial Study.

In the morning, after the end of the court meeting, he left some important ministers alone to discuss in the imperial study, and after the deliberations were over, Emperor Yan left Zhao Jiulang to have lunch together.

The entire Great Yan, the closest to this emperor, is not the prince, but the Yan State Zaifu, which is a well-known thing in the government and the opposition.

Lunch is simple,

Three dishes and one soup,

Only Wei Zhonghe was waiting alone.

Yan Huang ate half a bowl of rice, the dish didn't move much, pushed the rice bowl forward, and said:

"Aiqing, help me eat."

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Wei Zhonghe sent the remaining meal in front of Emperor Yan to Zhao Jiulang's table, and Zhao Jiulang continued to gobble it up.

"It's hard to be sorry for Aiqing."

Zhao Jiulang smiled, and was afraid of spraying rice, so he could only cover his mouth and nod and continue to eat.

His Majesty's appetite is not as good as before.

However, His Majesty's meals cannot be reduced, and because of the good habits that he had developed in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion before, Emperor Yan has always put an end to extravagance and waste in terms of eating.

Therefore, since there was no leftovers in the past, now, it is also impossible to keep them.

Because, no matter how careful you are, you still can't avoid that so many pairs of eyes are staring at you.

Therefore, Zhao Jiulang, who was the chief of the dynasty and the first close minister of the Son of Heaven, did not eat supper or breakfast every day, and deliberately came to eat and drink at noon on an empty stomach.

Maybe no one will believe it when you say it, but the Prime Minister actually has to overeat every day.

Finally, when the meal was eaten, Zhao Jiulang leaned back holding his belly and kept exhaling.

"How is the canonization ceremony arranged?" Emperor Yan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been arranged." Zhao Jiulang responded.

Emperor Yan looked at Wei Zhonghe again and asked:

"Where's the East Palace?"

"Long live the master, the slave has already been ordered, and the master was still the same when you were in the Hidden Mansion. The queen's dress and the second highness's dress have also been made. ”

"Hmm."

Emperor Yan closed his eyes and nodded.

At this time, Zhao Jiulang finally came to his senses, got up, sat up slightly straight, and said:

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Chengguo, is still waiting to see you."

"Everything is discussed, what else do you see?"

"He said he wanted to be grateful."

"Excuse me."

"Obey."

"This time the use of troops, the government and the opposition, is there any criticism?"

Zhao Jiulang smiled and said:

"That's a lot of criticism."

"It's all a bunch of low-minded sparrows."

Zhao Jiulang smiled silently.

"He, Situ Lei, dared to withdraw the troops and horses from the western border pass, and personally conquered the northeast, no matter whether he pretended to be heroic and frank in front of me, or if he really had the legacy of Great Xia in his heart, he would follow him.

Since he has already done the first year of junior high school, I will help him push him to the fifteenth.

I want to make Situ Lei I a king, but he is actually a vassal of my Great Yan, and let him for ten, twenty, and thirty years, and he will have no shame to invade Yantu.

60,000 iron horsemen drove straight into Qianguo and went to Beijing, and 200,000 iron horsemen trampled on Helian's family, which was domineering;

I

To prosper the royal road. ”

Zhao Jiulang leaned over and bowed,

Road:

"The courtier's proposal, the minister can suppress it with all his strength and share the worries for His Majesty."

"Jiulang, it's really hard for you to be my Dayan's Zaifu."

Zhao Jiulang raised his head and said with a smile:

"I can accompany His Majesty and leave a name in history, and Jiulang has earned it."

Emperor Yan pointed to a yellow scroll on the imperial case,

Wei Zhonghe understood, picked it up and packed it, and sent it to Zhao Jiulang below.

"The envoy of the Situ family is no longer used to meet with Shane, so I will send this painting of mine to him and ask him to pass it on to Situ Lei."

"Obey."

………

In a palace under the jurisdiction of Yanjing Honglu Temple, the Chengguo Mission, who had just sent away the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was making Dong Di look at the box in front of him.

Long

He stretched out his hand and motioned to a few of his colleagues around him to open the box.

It was a yellow scroll of the holy decree, but it was not sealed, so it was given as an envoy gift, and there was no decree.

Dong Di took a few steps forward, and several subordinates silently stepped back to make way for their positions.

submit

Looking at the yellow roll,

I saw eight vigorous and powerful characters written on the yellow scroll:

"The mountains and rivers are exotic, and the wind and the moon are the same."
