Xue San was very embarrassed now, because he knew that the Demon Pill at this time must be in a very unbeautiful mood.

It is equivalent to a child who took the money given by his father and went downstairs to buy candy happily, and when he came back happy, he found that the door was locked.

"Maruko, I said I went to the wrong roof, do you believe it?"

………

The next morning,

The refreshed Zheng Cheng guarded the yard practicing knives,

Half an hour later, after the knife was collected, Siniang came over with breakfast, and handed over a hot and humid towel at the same time.

"The Lord doesn't need to be too anxious, it's only been a long time since he advanced, so you have to slow down and rest."

"This is not the same as drawing comics before, in order to make the plot a little longer, there is more water, and the rhythm is deliberately pressed and not upgraded."

"That's what I said, but it's not bad for the past few days, it's good to combine work and rest, besides, my lord, your physique has been seen by several people, and you are already extremely talented in martial arts in this world."

"I'm used to practicing, but I don't sweat one day, but I don't fit in."

"Siniang, I want to use this silver to buy utensils, you can approve it for me."

Zheng Fan, who was wiping his sweat, heard this voice, turned his head with some confusion, and saw Xue San, who had a blue nose and swollen face, standing there.

"San'er, why did you go last night?"

Xue San smiled and said, "I had a fight with Ah Ming." ”

"What are you fighting with him right now?"

People have one more layer of recovery than you, how can you fight with others?

"He said I was short, and I couldn't bear it, so he beat me."

"Oh, that's a gotta fight."

Zheng Fan sat down, picked up the porridge bowl, and said:

"Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, Lord."

"Alright, it's approved." Siniang handed over the approval slip, and the expenses of the extra silver in the public all need the approval of Siniang or the blind man, even if a few demon kings want to use it.

"Lord, you eat slowly, I'll go and get busy first, the brothers under my command are waiting for equipment."

"Well, there you go."

Xue San turned around and left, he chose fifty people under his command to receive his training, and they could become spies on the battlefield in the future, so they needed to add some new equipment, hidden weapons, flying claws and even light leather armor, etc., all of which needed to be re-equipped.

"San'er actually left like this."

Siniang held her chin with some curiosity and said while watching Zheng Fan drink porridge.

"He seems to be in a mood that is not right."

"It's not because of you, Ali has advanced, San'er hasn't yet."

"Isn't there a blind man?"

"The blind man, no matter how anxious he is, he won't show it, the three are different."

"Hehe, however, Ah Ming was quite ruthless last night."

"No, San'er is leaking his words now, by the way, Lord, there are already caravans that are gradually coming to us."

"Well, you just need to control the investment promotion."

"Yes, it just so happens that there are still a lot of goods in the house, and there are also a lot of good things in the three savage villages you laid down last time, which can be traded."

Although Shengle City is not a densely populated place, it is extremely suitable as a transit point for trade routes.

Now that the Three Kingdoms War is over, the merchants have long been impatient and have begun a new wave of trade journeys.

"By the way, how is the matter over there Gao Yi?"

Gao Yi was the general of the 1,000-strong Jingnan Army, and when the Marquis of Jingnan allocated this force to himself, he was the highest-ranking general among them.

If you want to swallow this thousand Jingnan Army Iron Cavalry, you must put him down first.

"Those captains of the Jingnan Army are still easy to speak, and they are also relieved when they are rewarded with gold and silver goods, and they are also aware of the relationship between the Lord and the Marquis of Jingnan, and they all think that the Lord has a bright future.

It's just that this Gao Yi has some meaning that oil and salt do not enter. ”

"Oh?"

"The middle-level cadres promoted by Jingnanhou over the years are very loyal to Jingnanhou."

"You have to mean that it's useless for me to win him over, he only obeys Tian Wujing?"

"Yes, Lord."

"It's difficult, I originally wanted to eat this team of centaurs and create an established reality, and then run to Tian Wujing to splash and roll, and I guess Tian Wujing should be down.

Now this Gao Yi can't submit, if he doesn't nod, this team still can't gnaw down. ”

"Lord, the original commander of this army was Ren Juan, the chief soldier of Xinsu City."

"Heh, your own soldiers and horses are the meat in the palm of your hand, how can you be willing to give them to others? Ren Juan also couldn't get through there, when he went to Tian Wujing to pull out the thousand horses, in my opinion, there was already the meaning of beating Ren Juan in it.

Besides, when you drink, you can pat your chest and say that you are your own person, but when you really settle accounts, Ren Juan's group of old Jingnan army generals will not really treat me as their own.

Forget it, I won't invite this meal first. ”

"Yes."

"I have to find a chance to meet Tian Wujing again."

For Jingnanhou, Zheng Fan was very in awe at first, then fearful, and then there was an emotion of a big brother taking care of a little brother.

In this world, there are few brothers who can save their younger brother's life twice, right?

"The last time Jingnanhou fought with the Sword Saint of the Jin Kingdom, maybe the injuries on his body were not good, and there are a lot of herbs abundant in the Tianduan Mountain Range here in the slave family's treasury."

"It's not enough to just give this gift, Tian Wujing is a realist."

"How?"

"Unless we are willing to take out our workshop and divide it into the Jingnan army of Hetian Wujing."

"For the words of a thousand Jingnan troops...... Lord, it may be a little unworthy, and besides, our workshop has not yet been built. ”

"I know, I know."

If you want to get something, you have to pay a certain price equally.

"It's really not good, there's only one way to raise your own respect."

Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes and continued:

"This time in the Tianduan Mountain Range, the soldiers and horses of the Situ family also appeared, although their large army was defending against the savages in the northeast, but it was obvious that whether it was from the original land of Jinggi in the Jin Kingdom to the Pimple Mountain, the generals of the Situ family who stayed behind were still willing to do something."

"Lord, are you planning to provoke a border?"

"Provoke without permission? Hehe, don't you think this method is very good, anyway, the Situ family's army is not here, let's fight one city at a time, and we won't suffer any big losses, and we can't even take advantage of it.

Besides, you've forgotten that we did this a long time ago when we were at Willow Castle. ”

"It's just that last time it was Yan Guo who was planning to go to war, and you took advantage of the situation, this time, it is clear that Yan Guo does not want to start a war against the Situ family at this time."

"If there is no potential, we must also create momentum."

"It's just that if you fight in the Tianduan Mountain Range, it won't have much impact, but if you start to friction with the Situ family, the route of trade will be blocked."

"It's good to control the range, eat a piece of his soldiers or take down a city of him, Yan Qiang Situ's family is weak, as long as we eat a mouthful and run, they don't dare to expand the scale of the war.

Counting the days, Liang Chengming will probably be able to come back the day after tomorrow, right? ”

"Yes, Lord."

"Okay, when Liang Cheng comes back, we will discuss it again, anyway, there are still two months before the March deadline agreed with Hou Ye, so there is no hurry."

"Lord, why don't I keep an eye on Gao Yi's side?"

Zheng Fan waved his hand and said:

"No need, he's not Hong Chengchou, and I don't want you to be a big jade."

At that moment, the blind man came up with a letter in his hand,

Road:

"Lord, there is news from Yanjing that the second prince will be canonized as the crown prince on the third day of the next month."

Hearing this, Zheng Fan put down the chopsticks in his hand and sighed,

Road:

"What should come is still coming."

"There is also a letter from the Sixth Prince."

"Which line are you taking?"

"The station."

"Oh, what does the letter say?"

If you go to the post station, it is obviously impossible to leave any "heartfelt words", just like a suspect sending a letter from prison, he will definitely be checked.

"The sixth prince said that the next batch of cornmeal should not be delivered, and now he and a few eunuchs are in his mansion, and they can't finish eating."

"Huh." Zheng Fan smiled and said, "Prepare a carriage of goods and send someone to the Mansion of the Six Princes of Yanjing, so you don't have to hide your whereabouts." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"No, you have to have someone walk in person, you go ........."

Zheng Fan pointed to the blind man,

The blind man's face is calm,

But Zheng Fan hesitated, because the blind man had not yet advanced, and it seemed a little inhumane to let him out to do things at this time.

"You go and call Ah Ming, let him go to Yanjing with his goods, and by the way, take over all the shopkeepers he used to have from the hands of the six princes."

A smile appeared at the corner of the blind man's mouth, and he said, "Big and generous? ”

"Open and bright."

"Subordinates understood."

Siniang was a little worried: "Lord, will this be too blatant?" ”

Zheng Fan shook his head,

Road:

"The emperor doesn't like his son to collude with the generals outside, but he doesn't like his son to be a white-eyed wolf after he shows favor to others."

………

Yao Zizhan experienced a different feeling for a while;

In the past, he always felt that he was a boater, sailing on the lake;

Now, he suddenly realized that it was really water that could carry boats.

"Master Yao really seems to have a second spring this time." Zheng Fan smiled while holding the teacup.

Outside, the sound of books is loud, a large group of children are in class, to tell the truth, counting the new place, the entire Dayan, Zheng Fan can be said to be the first person in office education.

In the previous education system, not everyone had a book to read.

Yao Zizhan nodded, smacked his lips, and said:

"There's a different flavor, there's a different flavor."

"It's good if Master Yao likes it."

"Why did Brother Zheng come to find the old man?"

"Look at what you said, Master Yao, you teach and teach here with me, and I, as the landlord, always have to come to greet and greet every once in a while."

"Say, let's two, we don't have to play dumb riddles."

"I, Yan Kingdom, will be canonized as the crown prince on the third day of the first month of next month."

When Yao Zizhan heard this, he pinched his fingers and calculated, and said:

"Judging from the time when the news was transmitted to Brother Zheng's side, this canonization, the envoys of the Situ family should not be able to go, and the envoys of my Qianguo are too late, the Marquis of Jingnan is in Litian City, not far from the Horseshoe Mountains, and it is enough time to go back, but the Marquis of Zhenbei should not go, so the Marquis of Jingnan probably will not go back."

"Yes, it didn't take long for the Marquis of Zhenbei to return to Beifeng County."

"Yes, although the second prince of Yan Kingdom is Tian Wujing's nephew, if the Marquis of Zhenbei does not come, it will be inconvenient for the Marquis of Jingnan to go back to participate in the canonization ceremony."

This is out of a political consideration, the prince is the foundation of the country, and the continuation of the interests and policies of the political group, and at present, the two marquis, one south and one north, are obviously two poles.

Canonization ceremony, if the Marquis of Zhenbei is not there, then the Marquis of Jingnan must not be there, otherwise the other party will be regarded as the target of suppression.

"Although this canonization ceremony is a little hasty, but you Yan Guo's second prince should have a harbinger of entering the East Palace, not the prince but better than the prince for several years, Brother Zheng, why did you deliberately ask the old man about this matter?"

"Nag."

"Really? Emperor Yan has six adult princes, the eldest prince Ji Wujiang is in Beifeng County, the second prince succeeds the crown prince, the third prince was abolished by Brother Zheng, the fourth prince has a military background of the Deng family, the fifth prince is mediocre, and the sixth prince is the least liked by Emperor Yan.

The old man dared to ask Brother Zheng, could it be that you also have a position in this succession? ”

"Don't hide it from Master Yao, there really is."

"Oh? Can you tell us? ”

"The eldest prince, Ji Wujiang is my benefactor."

"This ......... When the old man first read Brother Zheng's "The Art of War", he also specially inquired about Brother Zheng's life and found that Brother Zheng had saved the Six Princes? ”

"Well, the sixth prince helped me introduce it to the eldest prince."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Yao Zizhan laughed and said:

"It's rare for Brother Zheng to be so honest, which makes the old man a little surprised."

"I'm a person who likes to settle accounts, and I get money in one hand and spend it with the other, and I am only solid in my heart when the account is clear; But some accounts are really difficult to calculate, and that is the human favor account. ”

"The old man understands, the old man wants to add a favor to Brother Zheng, but to be honest, this is your Yan country's housework after all, even if the old man has some ear news, it is nothing more than some things that my big cadres and the opposition know about the silver armor guard.

However, there is one, the three princes who were abolished by you, Brother Zheng, are indeed quite culturally oriented. ”

"That's it?"

Why do you tell me now that the three princes have been infiltrated by your culture and have become capable and useful?

"Then the old man will make it up for you again?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said:

"I want to hear Master Yao help me analyze and analyze."

"Huh? Brother Zheng, with all due respect, the second prince entered the East Palace and became the lord of Dayan in the future, you are the person of the Marquis of Jingnan, and the Marquis of Jingnan is the uncle of the second prince, you don't have to do anything, the future of the future is actually in front of you. ”

"Master Yao, this is insincere."

Yao Zizhan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and took a sip of tea,

Road:

"Tian has no mirror, and there is no good end."

Zheng Fan was silent, his fingertips tapping lightly on the coffee table.

"Unless Tian Wujing becomes the emperor, there will be no good end, but he is the least likely to rebel, so he ........."

"Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Hehe, brother, do you know that the original Jin Emperor and my official family, they have all sighed about the same thing in their hearts, do you know what it is?"

Zheng Fan didn't speak,

Yao Zizhan asked and replied:

"Why don't I have a Tian Wujing by my side?"

"Coincidentally, I often dream about why I don't have 100,000 iron horsemen by my side."

"Brother Zheng, do you remember that the old man asked you in the Tianduan Mountain Range before, is Emperor Yan sick?"

"Yes."

"Actually, Brother Zheng, you are wrong, maybe in your opinion, if Emperor Yan's body goes wrong, it will be beneficial to my big Qian, but in fact, what I am afraid of is that Emperor Yan has a physical problem!"

As a courtier of an enemy country, he is actually afraid that the other party's king will have a physical problem, generally speaking, this must be that king is a faint king.

But on the contrary, Emperor Yan looked horizontally and vertically upside down, and he couldn't get along with the faint monarch.

You say that he is reckless, but there are some, but they have already defeated half of the Jin Kingdom, which is the same as the comparison between Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Yongle, they are all a bit reckless, but only if the former loses, his reputation will be rotten.

"You, the second prince of Yan Kingdom, are a king of success, not a pioneer lord."

"The Silverguards even know this?"

"What books the second prince reads, what articles he writes, and what he does, as long as he can find it, he will be collected and sent back to Beijing.

"I said that if you Qianguo people could put your efforts into reorganizing the armament of the spies, you would not have been beaten so badly last time."

Yao Zizhan didn't care about Zheng Fan's sarcasm, but continued:

"Emperor Yan wants to do the work of three generations, and he will finish it in one generation."

As he spoke, Yao Zizhan stretched out his finger and began to calculate slowly:

"It stands to reason that the reduction of the gate valve and the centralization of power are the business of a generation of emperors;

The next generation of emperors can fight against foreign countries;

The next generation of emperors, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and dominate the East.

Ji Runhao, I want to do it all in one breath, and give it to future generations, not to mention leaving a unified East and a new Great Xia, at least, I have to completely defeat the two countries, so that Yan Kingdom will become the first country in the East in the real world.

Originally, there should have been at least five years of recuperation, and even ten years was not too much.

Yan Guo can completely digest the new land, you must know that the knights of the three Jin Dynasty are really not weak, if Yan Guo can also pull out a field army in the Jin land, and go out in the future, the three iron cavalry will come out together, who will compete?

Of course, I can also take a breath with the help of Jiangnan's wealth, rectify the soldiers and horses, and manage the defense line, and the civil strife in the Chu State should also end. ”

"So?"

"Therefore, if Emperor Yan's body is really wrong, then maybe within a year, a new round of war will start, he wants to see his Yan Kingdom's iron cavalry when he is still healthy, and really break through my Daqian's Shangjing, at least, to beat my Qianguo to the same as the Jin Kingdom, only half of the wall remains.

This is the obsession of the Son of Heaven, and this is the demonic heart of the emperor.

The old man is not familiar with military affairs, but the old man is good at figuring out people's hearts. ”

Zheng Fan yawned,

Road:

"Master Yao, you're off topic."

The old man has already answered.

"Tsk, where?"

"If Emperor Yan is in good health and there are no problems, then it is enough for the prince to inherit the throne in the future, which should be a sure thing;

If Emperor Yan's body goes wrong, he forcibly raises troops again......"

Speaking of this, Yao Zizhan closed his eyes.

"You're still selling off at this time?"

"The old man is not selling off, but ......... Hehe, if Emperor Yan forcibly raises troops again, as smooth as last time, and finally directly collapses my Daqian, then it is okay to say, it means that my Daqian is really muddy and can't support the wall, you Yan people, it is really destiny.

If I survive the country........."

Speaking of which,

Yao Zizhan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were a little red, and he began to pant at the same time,

Said slowly:

"Then Emperor Yan will replace him with a prince who is most like him, to pick up this mess, gamble the fortunes of the country, and continue to fight until one side completely collapses;

Because of the battle of national fortunes, there is no way out. ”

"Most like his prince?" Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, and his heart turned a thousand times.

Yao Zizhan drank all the tea in the cup,

Road:

"With all due respect to the old man, among the six adult princes, according to the available news, after the old man's analysis, the one who is most like Emperor Yan should be ........."

Yao Zizhan gave Zheng Fan a thumbs up,

Zheng Fan quietly retracted his little thumb when he raised his hand, and only one thumb was left;

Two thumbs answered with a blank answer,

Yao Zizhan stood up,

Stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Fan's shoulder, and said earnestly:

"So, Brother Zheng, the relationship between you and the eldest prince must not be broken, and you have to move around more."

Zheng Fan's face showed a look of enlightenment,

rise

said to Yao Zizhan:

"Thank you Master Yao for your teachings."
