It was another unquiet year, the new policy of Xifu, the juxtaposition of the three tombs, the Jinling incident, the new pattern, the new situation, but it was a great benefit for the people, and the local government treasury also took out money and grain to appease the displaced people and celebrate the New Year.

"Father! Father! Where did the concubine go? Meng Wanshu dragged Meng Chuheng, who looked unhappy, into the library hall.

Meng Wanshu jumped into Meng Yan's arms, Meng Yan pinched her red puffy little face dotingly and said, "What? Is there anything that my father can't solve, and I still want to find your mother? Your mother is busy in the apse. ”

Meng Wanshu rolled her eyes, tilted her head and said, "Shu'er wants to visit her uncle, does her father want to be together?" ”

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded Meng Wanshu's forehead and said, "You ghost clever, it's fake to visit your uncle, it's true that you want to leave the palace, right?" ”

Meng Wanshu felt an itch on her nose, scratched it, got up and pulled Meng Chuheng, who was standing aside without speaking, and said, "Father, it was Brother Heng who wanted to go to the martial arts academy that Shu'er thought of this method." ”

"Obviously you want to go out and play, you have to get involved with me." Meng Chuheng muttered dissatisfied.

Suddenly, Meng Chuheng felt pain under his feet, and his heart was finished, so he sold his sister, and he didn't know how many more chops he had to eat.

Seeing Meng Chuheng's reluctant appearance, Meng Yan felt very funny, but Meng Yan has never been too spoiled by boys, and said, "What is Chu Heng doing in the martial arts academy?" ”

For Meng Yan, Meng Chuheng is very afraid, he can hide on weekdays, and he will never ask for it if he can tell his mother, looking at Meng Yan's unhappy expression, he hurriedly replied: "My father is on horseback to lay down the Xifu little by little, so the child wants to go to the martial arts academy to study, and I ask my father for permission." ”

Meng Yan looked at the child in front of him, unconsciously reached the age of going to school, and sighed in his heart that time had passed, but there was indeed a charter for the two children's schooling, and he thought about it for a while and said: "Your uncle is in charge of the middle hall, and the civil and military courts are under his control, you go to your mother and ask him to take you to meet him." ”

Meng Chuheng was a little stunned, his father was a genius in both civil and military cultivation, why did he have to worry about his uncle to go to school, was he too stupid?

Meng Yan saw his thoughts, if the child was dissatisfied in his heart, maybe he would have to take it for a lifetime, so he cleared his throat and said: "Chu Heng, your uncle is in charge of taking the priest, you have to look more at him, see it clearly, come back and tell your father which way you want to go, do you understand?" ”

Meng Chuheng suddenly brightened, and the nodules in his heart also opened, and he said like an adult: "The child understands! ”

got the promise, Meng Wanshu couldn't sit still the most, and dragged Meng Chuheng to find Gu Qingfeng.

Watching the two children run to the apse, they lost the heart to read, and randomly flipped through the reports from all over the place.

Deng Ang came in wrapped in the cold wind and said, "Lord Wang, there is a letter from the hidden capital, and the old prince's car has already set off, this is the driving route." Deng Ang handed over the paperwork in his arms.

Meng Yan opened the document and read it in detail, from Youdu to Jiyang, then through Qingxu, through Huainan, Lu Danyang, and from Xizhou to Jiangxia, Quan Hanliang had a heart, and avoided the dangers that might be encountered on the road as much as possible.

The only dangerous place is Xuzhou, Xuzhou is the junction of Youdu, Jinling and Luochen, and the situation has always been complicated, but Beifu sent Teng Han to escort him, which can be regarded as Xiao Yu's dedication, which is sold well, and Meng Yan wants to pay it back.

"Deng Ang, you go and inform An Cang, let him go to Beifu in person, if you set off fast enough, you can at least pick up the car in Xuzhou, and see if your father thinks about coming directly to Chengdu or Changsha after arriving in Jiangxia." Meng Yan still felt uneasy, and he really didn't know what to say after seeing it, Changsha was a good choice.

"Lord Wang, Commander An is newly married, why don't your subordinates take a trip." Deng Ang said tentatively.

"I forgot this, An Cang and Chaoyu got married, and I also got married to the princess in the past, the newlywed Yan'er let him run is indeed a bit unkind, you can't leave, Du Heng is still being punished, Bai Zewei is complicated, so let's do it, the one named Xuansong was selected by the two courts, and it is time to go through the experience, let him bring someone over, let Quartz get ready in Xizhou." Meng Yan rearranged.

"Xuan Song? This kid is really good, he was the first to go to the city in the Battle of Sword Pavilion, Qingshuai recommended him to Qingyang Academy, but this kid had to study in Bai Zewu Academy, Gu Zhongtang didn't know how to agree, he actually persevered, and was recommended by the gentlemen of the two academies, it was time to practice. Deng Ang also admires Xuan Song very much, since he came to Bai Zewei, Bai Zewei has risen an atmosphere of learning, which is happy to see.

"Well, you go and arrange it, by the way, go back and tell your father, don't be stiff with Elder Tu Shanyin, there's no need." Meng Yan suddenly reminded.

Deng Ang's heart tightened, and he persuaded his father not to quarrel with Tu Shan Yinyuan, but his father didn't think so, it was still an old concept! Looking down on businessmen, although the officials of various departments were unwilling to have too deep a friendship with Tu Shan Yinyuan, they all gave him a thumbs up when it came to money and food.

"Obey the king's orders!"

The shackles on Meng Zhao's hands and feet in the Cangzhou City Post House have been untied, and his demeanor has recovered well, except for his pale hair, his face is a little ruddy, and at this moment Meng Zhao is holding the scroll and reading it carefully.

A man who looked like a scribe walked in from outside the door and said respectfully: "Mr. Meng, today we are resting in the Cangzhou Post House, the conditions in the post house are average, please forgive me." ”

Meng Zhao didn't raise his eyes, and said lightly: "Master Chu, you don't have to be like this, Meng is just a prisoner." ”

"Mr. is the father of King Yong, His Majesty has explained, and his subordinates dare not slack off." Chu Cheng's words were even more respectful.

Although Chu Cheng's official position as an inner servant is not high, he is also deeply trusted by Quan Hanliang, otherwise it will not be his turn to escort Meng Zhao, he knows that Meng Zhao's identity cannot be careless, and for some reason he is very respectful along the way, no matter what Meng Zhao's attitude is, he can't treat him coldly.

Seeing that Meng Zhao no longer spoke, Chu Cheng no longer bothered, and retreated on his own, thinking in his heart that it would take four days to walk from Youdu to Cangzhou, and after the handover in Xuzhou, it would not be a problem to return to Youdu before the year.

And a group of black-clothed people gathered in a private house in Xuzhou City, the oil lamp in the house was extremely dim, as if the spies were accustomed to talking and doing things in the dark, what can be determined is that these people are definitely not the spies of Xifu, and the Mingjian Division of Xifu is secretive and never gathers together in large numbers.

"The Lord has an order, as long as Meng Zhao sets foot on the boundary of Xuzhou, we will start doing things, and we can't let Meng Zhao leave Beifu alive." It should be the leader of the group who speaks.

"My lord, the spies from all the provinces have gathered in Xuzhou, and it is not easy for us to do it, and the Ming Jian Division has already spoken thoroughly, and I hope everyone will be safe in this matter." The person who spoke was not of low status, and the tone of the listener was clearly dissatisfied with the task.

"Be careful, the Lord has his own doctrine, don't speak falsely!"

Seeing that the man stopped talking, the leader directly blew out the oil lamp, and the black-clothed people in the house scattered in the dark night and disappeared in an instant.

The ministers in the palace of King Wu have long been dispersed, only Duanmuyang and Teng Han are left, Gan Ming is guarding outside the palace, after an incident on the Qinhuai River, Xiao Yu's control of the North Mansion is more and more handy, and the implementation of the new policy is even more invincible.

"Teng Han, you will leave for Xuzhou tomorrow, you have to be cautious about Mengzhao's affairs, Duanmu, you have to rush over after you finish the things in hand, and you can't let Mengzhao have any accidents."

"Obey the command!" Duanmuyang and Teng Han stood up and responded.

"Lord, the affairs of the East Mansion have been generally ascertained, the princess's change of guard in Luling is indeed aimed at Chenjing, but there is no action on Chenjing's side, according to our spies in Chenjing, the Queen Mother has not been to the court for more than ten days, and most of the major affairs in the court are decided by Cang Shuliang." Duanmu Yang continued.

"Sanniang can't sit still, she really wants to do something to Chenjing, let our people wait and see what happens, and don't make a move." Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said.

Duanmuyang was a little puzzled and asked: "Lord Wang, Dongfu sent troops to Changsha and Chenjing, Yuzhang must be empty, aren't we?" ”

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "Not to mention that we have an alliance with Dongfu first, even if Sanniang takes Chenjing or Changsha, do you think Meng Yan will sit still?" Sanniang is just a woman, can she turn the world upside down? ”

After hearing this, a thought flashed through Duanmuyang's head, and then he struggled and said, "Lord Wang, do you still remember the old Zhaoyang Empress?" ”

Xiao Yu's body was shocked, the Empress Zhaoyang, the peerless woman, created a precedent for the only woman in the Central Plains to be the emperor, and attracted many criticisms, but I have to admit that during the reign of the Empress Zhaoyang, the country was strong, and the eight directions were called ministers. Yi Zhong Roulan's intelligence is not weaker than that of the Zhaoyang Empress back then.

"Duanmu, do you think Sanniang has this intention?" Xiao Yu was surprised.

"Lord, Princess Chenyang has always been ambitious, never willing to bow to us, the ministers in this can't understand, but the princess's approach does understand it, the place where Xingtan and Chenjing belong, plus the power of Dongfu, once she fulfills her wish, how should we deal with ourselves?" Duanmu Yang simply said all the worries in his heart.

"Lord Wang, there is a precedent for assassination in Dongfu, you said this time?" Teng Leng's words shocked Xiao Yu and Duanmuyang.

Xiao Yu immediately became irritable, paced around, and suddenly stopped and said: "Duanmu, you put aside the matter in your hand, and immediately go to Xuzhou with General Teng to set up defenses, this king will assign two yamen to assist secretly, and must ensure Meng Zhao's safety, if Duanmu's assertion will happen, then Dongfu will definitely let Meng Zhao die on our territory." ”

Duanmuyang also felt that things were not simple, and said, "Lord Wang, are we also preparing early?" ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said: "Strengthen the defense of the two Huai, transfer Sun Ji to the general of Zhennan, and take care of the defense of the three prefectures." ”

Xuan Song's words were few and cold, and he hurried non-stop immediately after receiving the order, but he had already gone out of Sichuan to Yiling in three days, and after exchanging documents, Yu Geng personally received him, after all, he was his old subordinate, cordial.

"Your kid is only nineteen this year, and he has actually entered the eyes of the prince, and he has a bright future in the future!" Yu Geng took a big sip of wine and praised it unabashedly.

"The prince loves him, the general loves him, and the general is just doing his duty." Xuan Song replied calmly, today is already the time when he has spoken the most in the past three days, no matter how cold his temperament is, it is still different when he meets someone he knows.

"You don't have to be nervous, General Shi has made complete preparations, you just need to bring the old man back to our territory safely." Yu Geng is still grinning.
