Nanyi Kingdom, Xiao Mansion.

Since the battle of Xiaoyao City, Wang Xiao Zhan, who has a different surname, has not been out of the house, and he has closed his door to thank guests, and no one has seen him, even if he is blind, he can see that this Xiao Wang Ye is not in a good mood.

It is also changed to no one's mood to be comfortable, obviously a god of war who has won all battles, but because the emperor's prince was captured and retreated, it will not be easy for anyone.

What's more, he Xiao Zhan became famous as a young man, and few people have been able to rival him for many years, and now he finally met an "opponent" with a good appetite, but he gave up because of the life of this little crown prince.

"Master, the father-in-law from the palace has been waiting outside the palace all morning...... "The palace housekeeper came to report.

Xiao Zhan turned a deaf ear, still went his own way, looked at the military book in his hand seriously and rigorously, and ignored it.

The palace steward sighed helplessly, alas, isn't it difficult to be a subordinate for them? This can make him how good it is.

The father-in-law who came from the palace was a big celebrity around the queen's mother, and now because the queen's son was captured, Nanyi's 100,000 army was forced to retreat, the Xiao family was completely against the queen's family, Xiao Zhan cherished his soldiers so much, not to mention that the 100,000 army lost a full 20,000 not to mention, Xiaoyao City did not move at all and had no intention of taking it, how could Xiao Zhan not be angry?

"Shadow." Xiao Zhan suddenly called the secret guard.

"The subordinates are here." A gray-lettered man appeared in front of him in a flash.

Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Lonely you guys are checking the battle, how is that person checking?" ”

"Back to the master's subordinates and others who are not good enough to be punished, we ...... the news of that person" The shadow hesitated for a moment, but still said, "I haven't found anything." ”

Xiao Zhan raised his hand and broke the tea cup on the table, and narrowed his eyes, "A bunch of waste!" ”

"Subordinates should be damned, please calm the anger of the master." The Shadow knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Xiao Zhan waved his hand tiredly and motioned for the shadow to go down.

Staring at the book of war in his hand for a while, who are you? Yongchang's generals are nothing more than just two, and he only knows the father and son of the Jiang family, after all, the skills have been passed down from generation to generation. But who is she? Yongchang has never heard of such a person for many years.

There is also the secret guard of his Xiao family, who can't find out about her at all, he still knows more or less about his Xiao family's secret guard, and the person who can make them can't find out is really cunning.

He's really looking forward to meeting her again more and more, after all, she's just a little fox with a headache.

After the last time Nanyi's spies were arrested, none of the spies sent by Danfan came back alive. It is conceivable how perverted Yongchang's one is, he can build the border city so tightly, exaggerating to say that "not even a fly can fly in", let alone spy on the military.

In fact, this kind of method of closing the country is not a long-term solution, Yan Yu knows very well in his heart, but now Yongchang has experienced civil strife again, it is very difficult for the government to be in the government, the previous emperor has already hurt the foundation of the country for pleasure, and it is not easy to restore the economy and agriculture in a short period of time, and it is only an expedient measure to close the country.

When the national strength of the Yongchang Dynasty is restored, the problems of poverty and weakness are changed, and other methods are used to improve the national strength, and the new policy can be put on the agenda when the time is ripe.

Therefore, for Yongchang, "the outside must first be inside"! It is still necessary to gather power, and only by centralizing power can it resist the foreigners.

However, the local division of Yongchang is Yingzhou, which is the most troublesome.

Nanyi, Imperial Palace.

"Back to the queen, the old slave stood outside King Xiao's Mansion for a day yesterday! Then Prince Xiao was stunned that he didn't see our family! The old eunuch cried to the queen.

"Hmph, this Xiao Zhan clearly doesn't take this palace in his eyes! This palace is just to save the emperor, let him retreat a soldier, he dared to throw face at this palace!! The queen was furious.

"The queen mother is angry, but the old slave has a way to cure him well." The old eunuch smiled sinister and flattered the queen.

The queen tidied up her appearance and sat upright: "Oh? What is the method, let's hear it. ”

"When the old slave heard that this Xiao Wang Ye was still a minor, the Xiao family ordered a family affair for him...... For many years, Prince Xiao has been fighting in the south and the north, and he has no time to take care of his fiancée, and now the peaceful and prosperous era is suitable for Prince Xiao to start a family. The old eunuch winked at the queen and said.

The queen is not a stupid person, she has been immersed in the palace for several years, and she does not understand what he means. The queen thought about it carefully and felt that this method was feasible, since ancient times, it has been "gentle township, hero mound." ”

She didn't believe that this Xiao Zhan would have no interest in beauty, you must know that all men in the world are the same, but those who sit still and are not tempted enough.

The queen asked the grandmother on the side, "Which girl is it that has a relationship with Xiao Zhan?" ”

"If you go back to your mother, it's Jiang Ge's granddaughter." Mama and the old eunuch glanced at each other, and they both knew each other, in addition to the relationship between the emperor and the concubines in this palace, there was also a relationship between them.

"Jiang Ge Lao's granddaughter? But as far as this palace knows, didn't Jiang Ge resign and return to his hometown many years ago? ”

Mama continued, "Niangniang, not only that, although the elder Jiang Ge is highly respected, he has passed away the year before last, and the Jiang family is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Jiang Zhongjiang, and there is an old lady in the house." ”

The queen muttered to herself, "No wonder no one dares to mention this, now that girl's identity is indeed not worthy of Prince Xiao." By the way, what about the girl's father's family? ”

"Hui Niangniang, that girl is more than enough to accompany Xiao Wangye no matter how talented she is, but her father is only a Shaoqing of the Sipin Taichang Temple."

"It's okay, it's not too bad, this palace will definitely say a few kind words for her in front of the emperor, and it will depend on her creation when the time comes." The queen has always been willing to help people with this kind of low status, because such people are easy to control, isn't it?

"But......" Mama wanted to speak and stopped, as if she had her intentions.

"But it's okay to say it's okay, this palace just listens." This grandmother is the queen's own mother, and she still respects her queen very much.

"Lord Kangning seems to be ...... to Lord Xiao"

"So what? She is just a side of the Queen Mother's family, and the Queen Mother saw that she was pitiful and rewarded her with the identity of the county lord, and she really regarded herself as a thing! ”

As a woman in the lineage, the queen is extremely disdainful of the background of concubines like the queen mother and the county lord of Kangning, not to mention that the queen mother's background was just a concubine, if it weren't for her mother's son, she would also be worthy of the position of the queen mother?

The old eunuch patted his horse and said: "That girl is really a blessing, she can get the favor of her mother, I really don't know if it is a blessing that she has cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

"What's that girl's name, and how old is she?" The queen asked nonchalantly.

Mama replied, "Tang Zhixuan, twenty-nine years old." ”

"So old?!" The queen was surprised, you must know that the average woman is fifteen or sixteen years old, but she has already started a family.

Mama couldn't help complaining, "But isn't it, this Xiao Wangye refuses to get married for a long time, and I don't know if the marriage is still counted, but it really delays the girl." ”

"Alas, a poor child, too." As a mother, the queen naturally understands a little. She will blow the pillow wind with the emperor as soon as possible.
