The people of Chengdu didn't feel any difference, but the restaurants in Chengdu felt very obvious, and they could no longer keep accounts for the royal family, the famous Ye Shuai was actually sick, and it was very serious, and the emperor specially ordered him to go to the royal palace in Jinping Mountain to recuperate.

Meng Yan was no longer worried after learning that the affairs of Chengdu were bloodless, and returned to Chengdu on the twenty-fifth day of the third year of Taihe.

Meng Yan looked at the group of people who took over, saw Lu Chongzong and Zhuo Bailing, but did not see Ye Bohuai, and his mood suddenly lacked.

After everyone flocked to Meng Yan and returned to the palace, Gu Yanfeng, as the current leader of Wenchen, reported to Meng Yan what had happened for more than a year, and then Xi Qianbi, the rotating governor of the capital, informed Meng Yan of the progress of the military situation, and at the same time asked Meng Yan to resign from the governor, not that he resigned, but that he really couldn't do it, and he couldn't do this rotating governor, every time the governor had something to do, he had to visit Quartz and others, so he wouldn't be ashamed.

Meng Yan did not immediately agree to Da Xi Qianbi's resignation, because Meng Yan found that with a metropolitan governor like Da Xi Qianbi, the affairs of the military were much smoother, and Chen Zhiqing and Yu Geng both felt this way.

"Have you had enough?" After the welcome dinner, Gu Qingfeng took off the queen's appearance and demeanor, she was angry, she had to be angry today, not because he pushed things to himself, but because he really made her pregnant again, and the old clam was already a sure thing.

"Madam, be careful of the tire gas, it's not the same as before, take care of yourself!" Meng Yan said with a wicked smile.

"You go away! It's a joke to death! Gu Qingfeng's face was a little crimson, as shy as a girl.

The news of the queen's pregnancy could not be hidden, first the Gu brothers sent a lot of supplements to the palace, and Gu Xifeng, who was far away in Yiling, even went into the mountains to hunt a bunch of game and sent it back.

If the care of her mother's family embarrassed Gu Qingfeng, then the blessings from her children made her especially want to kill Meng Yan, and the girls who were to be married in two places prepared a lot of silk and satin for her, and Meng Jingye, who had just come out of his father's shadow, also personally arranged internal security candidates for the queen's mother, it is said that even the birthdays of the guards and maids had to be asked by him personally, and the two sons changed into brocade clothes and went into the mountain in person after knowing about it, and did not return to Chengdu with Meng Yan at all.

Meng Yan was so happy that the folds on his face were blooming, although there was only one person in the harem, but there were many children, how could he not be proud.

"I think it's a daughter, and my son is annoying!" Meng Yan said with a smile, not caring about Gu Qingfeng's expression at all.

Gu Qingfeng is more shy and relieved than angry, men are rare, the emperor's long-term affection is the only one in the world, what else can there be to be dissatisfied, living for the family since childhood, since marrying Meng Yan, although it is hard work, but at least for herself, Meng Yan is trying her best to let her live as much as she wants.

Gu Qingfeng held his waist and said: "You have also returned to Chengdu, worry more about the affairs of the government, the affairs of the eldest brother will have to be faced after all, Zhuo Gong and Ye Shuai still have to go on a trip, there are so many vacancies at once, you have to rearrange it, this is a business matter, the marriage of the children is also on the day, this is a private matter, I don't have so much energy to deal with it." ”

As soon as he mentioned these Meng Yan, he wanted to run, and suddenly Meng Yan smiled and said: "Those two rebels can be of great use, the third child should study and study, and the second child likes to lead troops, let him go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion and Daxi Dadu Governor to toss, the boss is the prince, three Taiwan, four halls, six divisions plus the cabinet, well, he is busy." ”

As he spoke, Meng Yan's mood suddenly fell, and he said helplessly: "It's time for me to meet my brother and old brothers." ”

Gu Qingfeng stepped forward and grabbed Meng Yan's arm, and said softly: "Actually, they are very cooperative, no one has resisted, my brother and Zhuo Gong are all neatly dressed and waiting for the internal guards to come to the door." ”

Meng Yan patted Gu Qingfeng's hand and sighed and didn't respond, maybe they were really old.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Meng Yan presided over the great court meeting in Chengdu, and explained the huge adjustment in personnel, and Lu Chongzong, the king of Xiang, presided over the Zongzheng Division and served as the great Zongzheng; Zhuo Bailing, the Duke of Chenguo, was promoted to the title of Duke of Korea and was honored in the house; Ye Bohuai, the Duke of Tanguo, recuperated in the Royal Palace of Jinping Mountain due to illness.

Then it was announced that the crown prince officially assisted the government, took charge of the cabinet and Shang Shulang, and Meng Jingyi, the king of Yong, served as the counselor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion to assist the Dadu Governor in handling the military situation of all parties.

At the same time, the marriage of Princess Meng Wanshu of Baoqing and Hou Zhouce of Xia County, and Princess Meng Wanyu of Changsha and Hou Huo Youjian of Chu County was set on the fourth year of Taihe.

Although it is a few simple holy decrees, but the people in the court are not stupid, these wills point to obviously, the older generation of people are beginning to prepare to withdraw from the stage of history, the new generation of people is rising, and at the same time, the possibility of centralization of power is more eliminated, the marriage of the two princesses can explain everything, Zhou Ce and Huo Youjian are both white, and even as early as thirty years ago, it was impossible for them to even be officials, and now the marquis is adding and commanding thousands of troops.

On the thirtieth day of the third year of Taihe, Emperor Daxuan Meng Yan secretly went to the Xiangwang Mansion in a light car, and Meng Jingye, the son of the Xiangwang Wang, was waiting in the gatehouse early in the morning.

"Your Majesty, Father He ·····" Meng Jingye was a little embarrassed.

Meng Yan was very calm, he was ready for his brother not to see him, Shi Shiran said: "Ye'er, you don't have to wait here, Chinese New Year's Eve, the family is busy, this year your younger brothers and sisters are in Chengdu, so lively and lively, Shu and your father are brothers, he can still beat me?" ”

Meng Jingye squeezed out a smile, this joke was quite embarrassing, "Your Majesty, my father actually cares about face, especially since we are a royal family. ”

Meng Yan nodded, sighed and said: "I know, I talked with Zhuo Gong for a long time last night, he was from the old family, and he always felt that the royal blood was given by God, and the scholars controlled the court is etiquette, and they thought that the people were ignorant. ”

When it comes to the court, Meng Jingye can't speak anymore, he is now presiding over the Mingjian Division, and he can't easily express his opinions, His Majesty didn't issue an order to deal with Zhuo Gong, Ye Shuai and others, which means that His Majesty used the privileges granted to him by the People's Court.

Meng Jingye arched his hand and responded: "Your Majesty, my father is in the inner courtyard bookstore, and the prince summoned his ministers to meet him, probably for the sake of the two sisters' great joy. ”

Meng Yan smiled and said, "Go ahead, the marriage of the two sisters is going to be done in a big way, and I have already ordered the Rite and Music Division to cooperate with all powers, and the scale is not limited!" ”

Looking at the back of Meng Jingye leaving, Meng Yan said to himself: "Stinky boy, don't prepare a pot of wine for me, how embarrassing is it to go in empty-handed!" ”

Meng Yan walked in with apprehension, after all, he was his brother, he had cared for him since the time of Xiao Huli, and how many times he risked his life to pass on information for himself, and now no one wants to see this step.

Lu Chongzong sat at the table alone in a swallow house suit and drank, but there were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks placed in front of the table, and when he saw Meng Yan coming in, he didn't salute, and said coldly: "Come here and do it, what does the dignified emperor look like!" ”

Meng Yan moved to the table and sat down, took a full glass of wine and drank it down, and said, "Brother, it's really not what I want!" ”

Lu Chongzong looked at Meng Yan with a strange expression, and said: "Qilang, you think too much, even if you kill me, it's nothing, I interfered with your government and obstructed the implementation of the new policy, this is a big crime, you shouldn't let me preside over Zongzhengsi." ”

Meng Yan was stunned, he had thought about the many scenarios he was about to face along the way, and he might be reprimanded, maybe Xiong Zheng didn't want to see him, but he didn't expect Lu Chongzong to be like this.

Looking at Meng Yan's stunned expression, Lu Chongzong poured him a full glass of wine, and then said: "I conspired with Zhuo Bailing, but the two of us have different purposes, I know what kind of temperament Qilang is, and I also know that the ambition in your heart is to live for the people, for the world, and for peace, but you are too merciful, you can let people like Jin Qian die well, Ye Bohuai is tantamount to betraying the country, you can tolerate it, this is not right, I want to use my blood to wake you up, you are the emperor, you are the master of Daxuan!" ”

Seeing that Lu Chongzong was getting more and more excited, Meng Yan was filled with endless grief in his heart, his father who had never met was like this, and so was his brother who had been separated since childhood, this is luck and an invisible pressure, everyone doesn't seem to be talking about family blood, but in essence, everyone has not forgotten the idea of revitalizing the family.

Meng Yan was grateful to Lu Chongzong for everything he had done for him, but he didn't agree, and after drinking it all again, he said with a wry smile: "Brother, let me ask you, how many self-proclaimed orthodox royal families outside the Meng clan go back thousands of years, and how many people claim to be human emperors going back thousands of years, but what about the facts? ”

Lu Chongzong fell into contemplation, this is a controversial proposition, no one has been able to answer this question for thousands of years, from the three emperors and five emperors, down to the primordial ancestors in the first unification, there has never been a surname and a family that can never decay, can his younger brother solve this problem, if he can, what will he do?

"Qilang, this is too big a question, I can't answer it, I believe that the person who can answer it doesn't exist, maybe there is an answer in your heart, but for the current Central Plains, iron and blood are outside, and mercy is a must, you can not kill me, but Ye Bohuai can't stay!"

Seeing Lu Chongzong's resolute attitude, Meng Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, what would you think if I told you that I had already deployed in the other three families?" I can tell you that these deployments are fatal for them. ”

This time it was Lu Chongzong's turn to be dumbfounded, had he already deployed? What deployment? As the first prince of Daxuan, he has nothing to hide from him in government and military affairs, except for the people in Meng Yan's own pocket.

"Shichiro, don't lie to me, is it true?" Lu Chongzong is indeed hard to believe.

"Yes!" Meng Yan replied categorically, and then continued: "Brother, that's all the talk, you have handed over all your errands, and you are the most suitable person to be the liaison, are you willing?!" ”

Meng Yan felt in his heart that Lu Chongzong was not the best candidate, but at present, it must be the most suitable, there is one thing he recognizes Lu Chongzong, and the identity of the royal family is the best cover-up.

Lu Chongzong thought for a moment, and then said firmly: "I am willing!" But only for my Montessori country! ”

The concept is different, but the purpose is the same, that's it, Meng Yan explained something to Lu Chongzong in a low voice, the voice was very small, but it could be seen from the change in Lu Chongzong's expression that he was surprised.

It took a while for Lu Chongzong to recover from the shock, and after taking care of himself, he picked up the wine and dried it up, and said, "They are all your people?!" It's incredible! ”

"They are not my people, we just have a common goal, brother, with Ye Bohuai in front, there will be others behind."

"I understand, go forward, don't worry, I'll take this job!"
