An Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and repeated with some puzzlement: "City Lord? Castle Lord...... What's it called? ”

  Yang Ying reminded on the side: "The city lord of Nankai City is called Miss Murong Feng. ”

  An Jin didn't have any impression of the name "Murong Feng" in his mind, and An Jin looked a little hesitant on his expression, and it seemed that he didn't have the slightest impression of this name at all.

  Seeing this, Yang Ying couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said: "Miss, the situation here in Nankai City is more or less different, it stands to reason that other cities more or less need only one city lord. ”

  An Jin nodded lightly, for such and such regulations in the territory of the Great Zhou, An Jin also understood a little more or less in her heart, it stands to reason that a city will only have one master at most.

  If an entire city, along with the territory around the city, is assigned to a certain great hero, or someone else, then basically, the lord of the city is assigned to that one person.

  For those places that are relatively remote, if there are no people in the area for a while, then Kyoto will send a person to serve as the lord of the castle there, and to a certain extent, a castle lord, along with the entire castle and the places near the castle, will belong to the castle lord himself.

  It's the same thing that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers.

  No person in authority will tolerate the existence of a person with a position of power similar to his own, no matter how generous this person seems to be in his heart, it is absolutely impossible for this person to happen in reality.

  The collapse of the side lying on the side does not allow others to sleep soundly, which is exactly such a truth.

  An Jin was puzzled after hearing this: "In other words, there are actually two masters in this Nankai City?" One is the prince of the world, and the other is the lord of the city, called ......"

  An Jin thought about it for a long time, and finally recalled the name that Yang Ying had mentioned just now in his mind.

  "That guy Murong Feng actually enjoys the same power and status as the prince in this Nankai City?"

  Yang Ying and Yun Lan both knew what kind of reason An Jin was surprised, and when they heard An Jin's questioning words, before Yang Ying could open his mouth to solve An Jin's doubts, Yun Lan was already the first to speak: "It's like this, An Jin has been staying in Kyoto all the year round, and during the first period of time, you were still living in the people, and it can be seen that you don't know much about this matter back then." ”

  An Jin raised his eyebrows slightly in confusion when he heard this: "Oh? How can I say this, what else did the prince do in Nankaicheng back then? ”

  Yun Lan couldn't help but sigh softly, and then said: "Of course, the thing he did back then can really be said to be shocking, all of us."

  Stunned, you know? ”

  An Jin urged with some dissatisfaction: "You guy, if you want to speak, say it quickly, don't hang people's appetites here, it's really hateful!" ”

  An Jin reprimanded Yun Lan with some dissatisfaction, Yun Lan also showed a wicked smile on his face, and then said with a smile: "Ah, An Jin, what are you doing in such a hurry, listen to me slowly." ”

  An Jin waved his hand and urged: "Say it quickly." ”

  Seeing that An Jin was urging so anxiously, Yun Lan smiled lightly and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know, don't worry." ”

  After a slight pause, Yun Lan picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "Back then, it happened that in the period not long after His Majesty inherited the throne, at that time, the internal and external troubles of the Great Zhou were pacified at the same time, and His Majesty was also in a great treasure, so it was natural to start a group of meritorious heroes. ”

  "And at that time, it was by virtue of the experience that he followed His Majesty to fight outside the Saiwai that he was sealed by His Majesty in this Nankai City, where, according to His Majesty's order, the Prince of the World was the prince here in Nankai City, and at the same time responsible for the strategic and military defense of our entire southern Great Zhou for the Rouran people."

  After a slight pause, Yun Lan continued to speak: "At the beginning, everyone was full of joy to receive all kinds of rewards from His Majesty to them, and everyone was very happy about this, and after staying in Nankai City for a period of time according to His Majesty's order, the Prince suddenly returned to Kyoto and played a letter to His Majesty. ”

  An Jin asked with some puzzlement, "Oh? What kind of letter did he play to His Majesty? ”

  Yunlan was also unambiguous, and said directly to An Jin: "The prince said that it was already very hard for him to follow His Majesty to fight outside the Saiwai, and in order to follow His Majesty back then, he still had a lot of injuries on his body, and in the south, that is, he had to take care of military affairs, and at the same time, he also had to take care of landscape policy matters, and he really felt that there was some lack of spare strength, so he asked His Majesty to send another city lord to manage Nankai City for the prince. And those policy things near Namkaisong. ”

  An Jin couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when he heard this: "What? The prince took the initiative to propose to His Majesty the Emperor, and then assigned a city lord to help him? ”

  An Jin was more and more surprised by this: "Anyway, this kind of thing is a little too unbelievable, someone would take the initiative to divide part of the power they have already obtained in their hands and give it to other people?" ”

  Yun Lan also felt a little helpless about this, he nodded lightly, and then said with a long sigh of relief: "Yes, who said it wasn't, when the original prince's proposal was conveyed to Kyoto, all the people in the know were extremely surprised and puzzled by this, Your Majesty, he also felt the same way, and he didn't do it anyway."

  I believe that the prince would make such a move, and he even took the initiative to ask Kyoto to take another official to help him take care of political affairs. ”

  There are still doubts and incomprehensions in An Jin's heart: "However, His Majesty the Emperor directly came up and handed over all the power in the entire vicinity of Nankai City to the prince himself, isn't Your Majesty worried that the power of the prince will be too great at that time, and then if there is a day when the prince himself no longer obeys the instructions of His Majesty, that is, Kyoto, what should he do at that time?" ”

  "Isn't Your Majesty worried about the prince becoming bigger?"

  An Jin asked.

  Yun Lan smiled lightly and shook his head, for these things, Li Chongxiao actually had a very good relationship with himself and Lu Yunjing back then, when he made such a decision, Li Chongxiao actually discussed this matter with himself and Lu Yunjing.

  And at this time, seeing Anji asking this, Yun Lan couldn't help but smile lightly and said: "Your Majesty, of course he doesn't worry about this kind of thing, after all, the princes and princes he divided are all the old men who followed him to fight all over the world back then, and for them, for things like looking at people, Your Majesty is actually quite confident." ”

  Without waiting for An Jin to continue to ask, Yun Lan had already smiled lightly and continued to explain to An Jin: "It is for this reason that Your Majesty is quite confident in those who have been separated, and those people are unlikely to betray themselves. ”

  "It is for this reason that Your Majesty has never worried that those princes who have been divided will betray you, in Your Majesty's opinion, as long as you fought hard for me back then, shed blood for me and fought for me, then I will not be able to treat you badly no matter what, let alone doubt you, this is a reward and reward for all of you to follow me and trust me."

  An Jin couldn't help but smack his mouth lightly when he heard this: "It's really ...... A sovereign with a big heart. ”

  Yun Lan smiled lightly: "Of course, if Your Majesty is not such a person, if he does not have such a mind, it is impossible for us to follow him." ”

  An Jin waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know, so what's next, the prince took the initiative to mention that he asked Kyoto to send another lieutenant to Nankaicheng, or a role such as the city lord to take charge of political affairs for him, how did His Majesty react?" ”

  Yun Lan was also unambiguous, he smiled lightly: "Your Majesty naturally would not have agreed to such a thing at the beginning. ”

  "However, Your Majesty does not agree, it does not mean that the prince will give up, the prince insisted on this matter at the beginning, and even forced him to resign for this reason."

  "Shi Ziye said so at the time, his body is really a little weak, and there is no way to support him at all

  continued to deal with and be responsible for the affairs of Nankai, and the two sides were so involved with each other for a long time, and in the end, His Majesty reluctantly gave up his insistence and chose to follow the proposal of the prince. ”

  An Jin smashed his mouth when he heard this: "It's really ...... Therefore, the phenomenon of one city and two city lords on this side of Nankai City, one mountain and two tigers is actually caused by the prince himself? ”

  Yun Lan sighed and nodded slightly: "That's right, it's true, it is at the personal request of the prince himself that Murong Feng will be selected by His Majesty as the new city lord of Nankai City, and the prince will naturally live in seclusion behind the scenes, only responsible for secretly deploying military forces and military operations against Rouran's side." ”
