Meng Yan was leisurely fishing by the river with a hat, Gu Qingfeng was concentrating on cooking tea in the pavilion behind him, Yan Que on the periphery was arranging defense, and Xue Chen, who was accompanying him, lowered his head and whispered something to Meng Yan.

"This little girl is quite bold, Feng You is a pity, his life is also wonderful, is Wanshu still in Kaifeng?" Meng Yan said casually.

"Her Royal Highness the princess went to Wancheng, and General Shi Zun set up the camp there, and he said that Nanyang City was unlucky." Xue Chen said with a smile.

"What kind of fortune teller does this kid know, every day God is chattering, you send someone to tell Wanshu, saying that her old son and mother have arrived in Jiangxia, and the person who is about to marry should be retracted." Meng Yan said with a pulled face.

Meng Yan can talk about his children at will, but Xue Chen didn't dare to talk about Her Royal Highness the princess, among them, Deng Ang and Shi Zun are the most favored among the second-generation children, especially Deng Ang has the qualification of auxiliary ministers, although it is only temporary.

After listening to Meng Yan's complaints, he finally let Xue Chen leave after transferring a river fish, Gu Qingfeng raised his eyes and looked at Xue Chen's back and said angrily: "You are really, how cheerful a child is so afraid to speak by you!" ”

"This kid's mind is too active, I'm beating him, Yan Lan will inherit An Cang's position in the future, this Xue Chen will be released sooner or later, but his temperament is too unstable, it is better for Jing Mu, take this opportunity to improve his ability." Meng Yan responded to Gu Qingfeng while counting the fish in the barrel.

"Do they, the second-generation disciples and concubines, think that Jing Mu will be able to take charge of the army independently in the future? What do you think? ”

Meng Yan nodded in recognition and said: "Jing Mu is different from his father, this kid is smart, he has practiced well in the cultural context, and the martial arts have also grown with Ye Shuai in the past few years, but he lacks experience in the battle, and he still needs to be experienced." ”

"A few of them are the second-generation disciples of my Great Xuan Dynasty, but they are third-generation generals, Shi Zun and Deng Ang's positions are a little high, so it will make Xuan Song and them have some opinions, General Xuan came over yesterday and was somewhat unhappy with Shi Zun's appointment."

"It doesn't matter, Xuansong and the others have won a lot of battles over the years, and they are a little floating, I don't want them to become the next quartz, and the use of Shi Zun can just make them feel a sense of crisis." Meng Yan said nonchalantly.

"Since you have such a meaning, let Xuansong and them have more contact with Jingyan, and being close to the prince will not cause them to be too dissatisfied with you." Gu Qingfeng tilted his head sideways and said with a little seriousness.

"There's no need to be too deliberate, whether it's Xuan Song or Shi Zun, these people are of the same age, and the communication between young people is different from the people who planted trees in your generation and me, let them toss by themselves, I'm just sorry for Quartz and Lu Ping, one of these two people because of the light enemy, they lost consecutive battles and collapsed; The other is thinking too much and scaring himself half to death. Speaking of those two people, Meng Yan was a little unhappy in his heart.

"Forget it, don't be angry, don't you want to think about how many people are still alive who accompany you out to fight the country, Jin Shuai left two years ago, Zhuo Gong's body is not as good as day by day, it is difficult to say how long Qing Shuai can last now, Ye Shuai is in good health, but how many times a day is sober, that is, quartz and Lu Ping can still be useful, in the future, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will always need someone to sit in charge, and I really hope that Xi Qianbi can do anything?" Gu Qingfeng sighed while persuading.

Just when the Montessori couple was studying the future, Xiao Yu from Jinling had just sent Quan Xi away, with a displeased face, Quan Xi, this kid couldn't speak, and he also put on an imperial posture to talk to himself.

"Your Majesty, Kwon Hee can't move for the time being, please don't be angry." Duanmuyang hurriedly dissuaded Xiao Yu's idea of killing, and just let Youji and other places make a smooth transition, and at this time, killing Quan Xi outweighed the loss.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, otherwise I won't let him go back, Beimu has watched our Central Plains civil strife in the past few years, and has been constantly strengthening himself, this time let Quan Xi go back is to transfer these contradictions, Zhu Mu's family has been beaten by Meng Yan and almost disappeared, Nanyue is now estimated to be my aunt's puppet, and the forces outside the Central Plains are left with Donghai and Beimu, so they have to fight."

Xiao Yu forcibly suppressed his anger, since Xiahou Yingxue's death, his temper has become more and more difficult to suppress, only Duanmuyang can occasionally persuade, after all, with Xiao Yu's start, there is only one Duanmuyang, and Duanmuyang's character and loyalty are worth guaranteeing.

"Your Majesty, Quan Qing is only afraid that she will succeed to the throne as emperor in the near future, and it is ridiculous to think about it, Zhong Roulan, who has always wanted to be the empress, has not ascended the throne for a long time, and can only control the Chu Dynasty in the name of the queen mother, who would have thought that Quan Qing, a little girl, would take the lead, I don't know what Zhong Sanniang thinks?" Seeing that Xiao Yu's mood had eased, he quickly changed the topic and asked Xiao Yu to change his mind.

"Since people want to be the emperor, we can't help but join in the fun, tell Teng Han that his majesty likes to take a bath in the Beitianchi Hot Spring, see if he, the general, has any means, and by the way, let Yu Qingwu make some trouble for Meng Yan, didn't he go to Jiangxia recently? Let him move. Xiao Yu's smile became more and more gloomy.

"The old minister obeys the order, but what is the side of Poyang Lake?" Duanmuyang didn't know how to evaluate this order, the battle in Poyang was like a chicken rib battlefield, and both sides were exhausted.

"Don't worry about it, just keep the confrontation, Zhong Sanniang doesn't have the heart to fight at this time, with Poyang Lake as the boundary, everyone will settle down for the time being, who makes everyone's eyes on the little girl in Luochen City now." Xiao Yu said with confidence.

"Chu Cheng has already settled in the political affairs hall, what specific affairs does Your Majesty mean to let him be in charge of?" Chu Cheng's placement is the most important thing in Duanmuyang's heart, and he, Duanmuyang, as the head of the political hall, has some trouble managing these subordinates of his own.

"Chu Cheng asked him to assist in the management of the household department, the people of the Tu Shan clan have also been transferred to the household department recently, plus Pei Xin, the secretary of the household department, let them find a way to enrich the treasury of my Daning Dynasty, Poyang emptied a quarter of the treasury in the first battle."

Duanmuyang didn't speak again, this arrangement is reasonable, money and silver are the basic guarantee for the survival of a country, there has been too much loss of money and grain since the civil strife in the Central Plains, for example, after Mengyan took Chengdu, the process of going north was much slower, one is because of the rebellion of foreign races in the southwest and the fact that there are many mountains, and the people's livelihood is unstable, and the second is that the battle line is too long, there are too many soldiers, and the grain and grass cannot support a long battle. Their generals are also more biased towards quick battles.

And Chu Cheng and Pei Xin are both veterans of the government and politics, so it is not a problem to coordinate this aspect, and the Tu Shan clan has not received too much courtesy since they joined Daning, and this time is just an opportunity to exert their Tu Shan clan's energy.

Xiao Yu's gift is ready, Zhong Roulan can't sit still in Yuzhang, the courtiers' minds are to be the emperor before Quan Qing succeeds to the throne, once Quan Qing gets the first hand, Da Chu will lose the price in terms of reputation, and Zhong Roulan is no longer the little girl of the year.

"Murong, what are the dynamics of those people in Yuzhang City?" Zhong Roulan asked with a frown.

"Those people are waiting, the Chong clan's forces have long been cleaned by us, just wait for you to make up your mind." Murong Changfeng had waited long enough for Zhong Roulan to ascend the throne as emperor, and the patience of these old men was running out.

Zhong Roulan let out a sigh of relief and said quietly: "Inform Song Xiang, let's do it, Murong asked the people of Luantai to keep an eye on Luo Chen all the time, if you do things in advance over there and let our people stop it at all costs, this Central Plains Empress can only be me!" ”

Murong Changfeng smiled, I haven't seen Zhong Roulan like this for a long time, since she made a feud with Meng Yan, Zhong Roulan has been much lower, such a heroic appearance is back, and the brothers have hope again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Murong Changfeng accented the word "Your Majesty", and then continued: "Even if Quan Qing wants to be emperor tomorrow, I will make her cry tonight!" ”

"Murong, you are all old, where did you come from to be so arrogant, the emperor is just the first to take the lead, the pressure on us from the Montessori and the Xiao clan is still huge, and it is uncertain whether the next step will be to go north or west." Zhong Roulan decided to be the emperor, and when she thought of the predicament she faced, she was still sad.

"In this matter, everyone's eyes are more inclined to go west, or south." Murong Changfeng said cautiously.

"Westward? Hum! Do they have a long life? Do you really think Meng Yan is a clay sculpture? Zhong Roulan was surprised by her courtier's choice.

"They think that Yeling and Zhaonan are an opportunity, they won't say it to Song Xiang, Yu Geng is not a vegetarian, Emperor Xuan can let him garrison the southern part of Daxuan for a long time has a plan, except for General Tang, it is really difficult for our dynasty to find Yu Geng's opponent."

Saying this, Zhong Roulan fell into deep thought, and then said: "Du Heng is from Daxuan, so many years of testing can see that he is loyal enough, let's recruit him over, let him garrison Poyang, can't let Tang Yuan bear too much alone." ”

"General Tang has not been in good health in the past two years, and Zhuo Xun's ability is not enough to deal with the two armies opposite Poyang, Du Heng is suitable." Murong Changfeng did not doubt Du Heng's ability, but he always doubted Du Heng's scheming intentions, but he really didn't find any problems with Du Heng or even the entire Du family for so many years.

"Well, you go, plan well, we still have a lot of big things to do, and we are optimistic about those old guys, I know what they are thinking, Meng Yan is right, the family is the fundamental factor that endangers the government, they want to re-establish the system of the family to control the court, it is wishful thinking!"

"Who is it?! Who the hell is it?! Why are you always looking for trouble for the palace, Xijing is like this, and so is Luo Chen! You're going to tell me what to do?! Quan Qing pointed at Ruan Feng in the main hall and asked.

Ruan Feng was also very helpless, he didn't understand what was going on, although Xijing's problem was pushed on the body of the alien race in the Western Regions, but this time it was obviously for the enthronement ceremony, and this job could not be done.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime." It is really embarrassing for an old minister to be pointed at and scolded like this.

Hearing that Ruan Feng was going to resign, Quan Qing panicked, no matter what, Liuli Pavilion was the only spy in his hands, and it was too late to re-establish a spy organization, and Ruan Feng was qualified most of the time.

"Ruan Gong, this palace doesn't mean this, look at the fact that from Xijing to Luochen, our territory has been ventilated on all sides, and those people can do whatever they want!"

Ruan Feng sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the enthronement ceremony must be postponed, and all unsafe factors will cause big trouble. ”

Quan Qing paced in the hall, and finally said: "Then postpone, you are right, re-establish the defense line." ”

Just when Quan Qing decided to postpone his accession to the throne, the hundred officials of Da Chu wrote to ask the Empress Dowager Zhong Roulan to ascend the throne, and after three pushes and three invitations, Zhong Roulan was very reluctant to ascend the throne as the emperor.

Then Quan Qing in Luochen City immediately succeeded to the throne as emperor, but did not change the Yuan, known as the "Ming Wu Female Emperor", in September of the same year, Xiao Yu claimed to be orthodox, and established the Yuan "Jinghe".
