Early the next morning, King Xuan announced at the wedding banquet that he had demarcated the border with Dasheng and that Zhi'en had broken off his righteousness, and the news was quickly sent to all directions by people from all sides. However, none of the envoys of the North Di Xi Liang and the South Chen left in their leave.

The meeting hall of King Xuan's Mansion was already crowded with people, except for Mr. Ethereal, all the civil and military officials at the wedding banquet last night gathered together and discussed.

When Meng Yuanheng and Shen Qianmo walked into the hall hand in hand a little later, everyone stopped discussing and got up to salute.

"I've seen the prince, princess."

Meng Yuanheng took Shen Qianmo's hand and sat down, and smiled indifferently: "You don't have to be polite, feel free to sit." ”

Squinting at Yun Fei's two blue and black eyes, Meng Yuanheng pulled the corners of his mouth lightly, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with Master Yun Zhuang, I didn't rest well last night?" ”

Yun Fei gritted his teeth with a dark face and said: "Naturally, it is not as comfortable as the night of the candle in the prince's cave room, and the drunken and gentle country rest." ”

This guy has a refreshed look and a lovely smile that makes him grind his teeth with hatred. Remembering the shock after he spread out the silk silk last night and saw the contents clearly, if it wasn't for his good concentration, maybe he would have thrown the things in his hand on the spot. Barely able to finish reading the above words calmly, God knows that his palms were full of cold sweat at that time. He had never been so frightened, how could he have slept well last night?

Revenge, this is definitely Meng Yuanheng's revenge on him with a black belly!

Who let him "accidentally" say that the first beauty in the northwest favored Yu Xuan Wang Ye before, and told Qianmo.

"It's nature." Meng Yuanheng nodded as a matter of course, without the slightest strange look, raised his eyes and glanced at the subordinates with different expressions below, and said with a smile: "Why, everyone is also scared?" ”

"What are we all afraid of, the prince should have been like this a long time ago!" The head of the Meng family's army, Wei Zhongyuan, who was full of black beards and strong body, sounded like a bell.

Others, such as the old general Lin Chao, the commander of the Feiyun Cavalry, Wen Renyuan, and the subordinates of the Mo family, also echoed one after another, and the hall began to be noisy again for a while, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Xie Chunjing listened to everyone's discussions, and said to Meng Yuanheng: "Since the prince has made up his mind to demarcate and rule with Dasheng, then it is reasonable to first solve the misunderstanding between the people of the northwest and Dasheng about the Xuanwang Mansion for some time. ”

Meng Yuanheng nodded, "What does Songyue Monk think?" ”

Xie Chun thought for a moment and said, "The first thing to do is to clearly announce the grievances and grievances between the Dasheng Royal and the Xuan Palace, and this announcement must be sent before the news from last night reaches the imperial court, so that the palace will be caught off guard." Although the people are not literate, they always understand the reason, and there is no public opinion on which is right and which is not. ”

Mo Qingshan nodded and said, "What Songyue Monk said is reasonable. The so-called preemptive strike can win with one blow. By the time the news of last night reached Shengjing, the royal family's chilling methods were already known to everyone, and the one in the palace could not turn the tide. ”

Everyone also seconded the proposal. When Meng Tianheng issued more than a dozen holy decrees to reprimand and smear Xuanwangfu, Meng Yuanheng did not make any response or refutation, waiting for today's decisive counterattack!

Meng Yuanheng and Shen Qianmo naturally had no opinions.

"This matter is bothering the Songyue monks." Meng Yuanheng looked at Xie Chun and said indifferently.

Xie Chun is a well-known scholar in the world, and this kind of thing is certainly not a problem for him.

Xie Chun nodded in agreement. "The prince is polite."

After discussing for a while, Meng Yuanheng dismissed a group of generals and officials, leaving only a few henchmen in the Xie family, the Mo family, the Meng family, and Feiyun Cavalry, as well as Qiao Yuan, the new Taishou of Jingzhou City.

Jiang Tianyu, the former Taishou of Jingzhou City, moved out of the Taishou Mansion after he recovered from his illness. Nian is loyal and upright, and he can be regarded as diligent and loving the people for one term as an official, Meng Yuanheng did not embarrass him too much, and at Shen Qianmo's suggestion, he also arranged a small courtyard in the south of the city for his family to live in.

Although Qiao Yuan is not very old, he is still rigorous and responsible, and he has been handling government affairs in a decent manner these days, and he can't find anything wrong. Now with such a turbulent situation in Jingzhou City, it is excellent that he can do this with his qualifications. Meng Yuanheng and Shen Qianmo were also very satisfied with him.

Seeing Qiao Yuan sitting in his seat with his back straight, his expression was serious and dignified, which made Shen Qianmo feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

This appearance is really a fight with Lu Ziqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

With a smile in her eyebrows, Shen Qianmo asked, "Lord Qiao, what are the movements of the envoys of Beidixi, Liangnan, Nanchen and other countries, have you proposed to resign?" ”

Qiao Yuan stood up and bowed and replied, "Back to the princess, I have not yet received the resignation documents from the envoys of various countries. Early this morning, the prince of Beidi, the prince of Yanping in Xiliang, and the horses of Nanzhen all went out of the city one after another, saying that they wanted to enjoy the scenery of various places in the northwest. ”

Shen Qianmo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let them go, as long as they obey the rules." Master Qiao just let it go, if there is any problem, you can send someone to the palace to tell you, you don't have to tie your hands, and if someone makes trouble, you don't need to be polite to them. ”

Qiao Yuan's young and square face was slightly moved. He is still young and has shallow qualifications, and he used to be just an insignificant six-grade sesame official in Jingzhou City, although he often had the feeling and regret of not meeting talents, but he never thought that he would be so reused by the prince and princess.

He gave Meng Yuanheng and Shen Qianmo a deep look, and said respectfully: "Please rest assured that the princess and princess will do their best and do their best to live up to the trust of the princess and princess." ”

Meng Yuanheng looked at him, nodded indifferently and said: "This king has never hired people based on age and qualifications, but now that you can afford to support the affairs of Jingzhou City, this king and princess will entrust this Jingzhou City to you, you just have to perform your duties with peace of mind." ”

Qiao Yuan suppressed his excitement and said respectfully: "The lower official receives the order." The lower official retired. ”

Looking at Qiao's distant back, Xie Mingyu smiled brightly and said: "The prince has a way of employing people and controlling his subordinates, no wonder all parts of the northwest are united and united as one. ”

Meng Yuanheng said with a smile: "Prince Mingyu has won the award, in fact, this king's subordinates are all a bunch of military generals and rough people, and there are not many civil officials, and Qiao Yuan was also a last resort at the beginning, but fortunately, he is diligent and his ability to do things is acceptable." However, in the future, the affairs of the Northwest will need to rely on the prince of Mingyu and the monk Songyue. ”

Xie Chun raised his eyebrows slightly: "The prince can trust the Xie family?" ”

Meng Yuanheng smiled, "Naturally, you can trust this king to do this." If you can't even trust the Xie family, who else can this king and Mo'er believe? If you want to take root in the northwest, you don't just have to be a military general. It's a pity that these generals of the Meng family army have no problem letting them lead their troops to fight, but if they are allowed to handle government affairs, I am afraid that it will be a mess. It can't be that all affairs have to be done by Ben Wang and Mo'er, right? ”

Wen Renyuan and the two main generals of the Meng family, Lin Chao and Wei Zhongting, nodded again and again. Remembering that when they first occupied the northwest provinces, they also dealt with local government affairs for a period of time, and that feeling was simply unbearable.

After talking and laughing, everyone got down to business again.

Mo Qingshan asked: "Now that the Northwest can be said to have officially drawn a line with Dasheng, I don't know what the prince plans to do next?" ”

Speaking of this, he also sighed secretly. I think that when he learned about Meng Yuanheng's true life experience, he also tested his mind, Meng Yuanheng at that time had no intention of competing for the throne at all, who knew that it had only been more than half a year, and the situation had evolved to this point. couldn't help but make him sigh that the world is impermanent.

Meng Yuanheng pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, it is natural to reunify the establishment of officials in the northwest. ”

Xie Chun nodded, "It's just that I don't know what the prince's true position is for the current Northwest and the Meng Family's army?" ”

Meng Yuanheng raised his eyebrows and said respectfully: "Please give advice to Songyue Monk." ”

Xie Chun looked at him and said slowly: "Now that the Northwest and Dasheng no longer have a subordinate relationship, how does the prince plan to position the future of the Northwest and the Meng Family's army?" Will you keep the status quo and Dasheng on each side, or will you continue to expand your territory until you ...... Eminence? ”

Although Xie Chun's words were said very gently, they were like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

Although it is too early to say that the word "rule the world" is too early, it is a very real problem. Now that the Meng army is in the northwest, it can be said that it is surrounded by enemies, if Meng Yuanheng does not have the ambition to dominate the world, then if he wants to sit firmly in the northwest, he must choose a strong country to rely on. But if this is the case, it is equivalent to going back to the old path of the former Xuanwang Mansion, and it will be even worse than before. Therefore, on the road of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, the Meng family army can only move forward and cannot retreat, not to mention that this is also the expectation of all the soldiers of the Meng family army.

However, if Meng Yuanheng overthrows Dasheng and establishes himself as the emperor, then no matter what intolerable things the royal family has done to Xuanwangfu before, and no matter how much enmity there is between Xuanwangfu and Dasheng's court, in the eyes of the world, he will inevitably be infamous for treason.

The young man in front of him, who shouldered the century-old foundation of Xuanwangfu, has such an embarrassing background that cannot be disclosed, can he afford such an infamy?

Meng Yuanheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, but his eyes looking at Xie Chun were calm and resolute.

"The meaning of Songyue Monk This king understands, since this king has decided to break with Dasheng, how can he be a person who is obsessed with false names? The hatred of killing his father, the hatred of assassination, and the innocent death of 100,000 soldiers of the Meng family's army, this king will never give up, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the countless heroic souls under Jiuquan! ”

When everyone heard Meng Yuanheng's words, they already understood his determination. Wen Renyuan and several other Meng family army generals were obviously enthusiastic, and the rest were also in good spirits.

Men have elements of conquest, plunder, and warlike in their nature. Born in troubled times, for these people of insight and iron-blooded soldiers, only by expanding their territory and competing for the world can they truly reflect the value of their lives.

Xie Chun stood up and said to Meng Yuanheng: "Since the prince has already made a decision, then please advise." ”

Meng Yuanheng pondered for a moment and said: "Change the name of Jingzhou City to Mocheng, and set the year name as Xuanhe. ”

Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that Meng Yuanheng had no follow-up, they were a little stunned for a while. Xie Chun reminded loudly: "Lord Wang, the country name." ”

Meng Yuanheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "This king didn't think about setting a country name. ”
