"Your Majesty, Guoan has come to report, Jinling has issued a decree, Duanmuyang is promoted to the Duke of Shu, Lingshangshu Order, Chu Cheng is promoted to Xiangguo Gong, Lingzhongshu Order, Chen Zhuo is promoted to the throne and Guogong, and Lingqilin Order, this is for us!" Tan Ji was by his side and reported to Meng Yan.

"What's this, we have also done the same thing, Tan Ji, your mind is better to focus on military affairs, these political methods are not your concern."

Although Meng Yan reuses Tan Ji, but Tan Ji is also constantly beating, Tan Ji is a thoughtful person, and he has a strategy in his chest, but his mind is not pure, no wonder he Tan is bent on trying to get into the wealthy family, but Tan Yong is already one of the nine Qings in Haitang Garden, and Tan Ji can't have so many ideas.

Tan Ji's expression was a little gloomy after listening to Meng Yan's words, but he still pretended to be frightened and replied: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Weichen is too talkative." ”

"Nanyang's deployment is good, you have a heart, if Xiao Ye goes south, how should you deal with it?" The purpose of the beating has been achieved, and it is time to get back to the topic.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Ye may not dare to go south, if he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he will ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin to take Xijing directly." Tan Ji is quite sure of this.

"You are very confident, tell me why Xiao Ye didn't dare to go south, don't worry, it's just a discussion."

Tan Ji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Ye has ten dare not, one, Luo Chen is my old land, and the relationship is intertwined; Second, I have a lot of eyeliner under Luo Chen; Third, the military strength of our dynasty is not what it used to be, Xiao Ye knows it well; Fourth, most of the generals who are good at fighting in Daning are stationed in the north and along the river, and there is no one to fight among the soldiers and horses of Luochen; Fifth, there are many rivers and plains, and if the war starts, the scale will inevitably be grand, and both countries have just experienced a major war, and the soldiers are war-weary; Sixth, the soldiers and horses stationed in Nanyang were destroyed by the war, and they were all good soldiers; Seventh, the King of Qin passed through the Western Regions and Hanzhong to maintain a threatening posture against Xijing and Luochen; Eighth, Daning's seizure of the heir has already appeared in its initial state, and Xiao Ye must be jealous in order to ensure his prestige; Nine, the Daning Imperial Court focused on the use of troops along the river, and underestimated the surrounding areas of Luochen; Ten, Xiao Ye himself does not want to go to war with our dynasty. ”

"Hahaha! It's a good ten without a fight, Your Majesty, the minister thought that Xiao Ye would have a fight! Meng Huan strode in and smiled.

"You're here, let's talk about it, why did this Xiao Ye have a battle with our dynasty?" Meng Yan hadn't seen Meng Huan for a long time, and he really missed it.

"Xiao Ye wants to save enough capital to fight for the throne of Daning!" Meng Huan said loudly.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Weichen doesn't dare to agree!" Tan Ji retorted.

Seeing that the dispute was about to start, Meng Yan said in the middle: "What you two said makes sense, Eleven Lang, this time I summoned you here to discuss with you about the deployment of defense along the river, Tan Ji has taken over the military affairs of Nanyang, and you will work together in the future." ”

The two counties said that Nanyang military affairs had always been Shi Zun's business, but this time Meng Yan deliberately transferred Shi Zun to the south to take over the affairs of the Southwest Bureau, and Meng Yan had decided to liquidate the southwest departments that betrayed the Central Plains.

"Brother Huang, the 300,000 troops in the northwest have been rectified, and they can all be mobilized with just an order from His Majesty."

Meng Yan waved his hand and said: "Don't move for the time being, many people in Beimu have joined Daning, the countries of the Western Regions are going back and forth, the trade routes are not quiet, your side will not settle down in the near future, everything will be decided after the peace talks." ”

"Brother Huang thinks the Western Regions will rebel?" Meng Huan was surprised.

"I don't think it's that some of them are already secretly in contact with Daning, the national policy of our dynasty is different from Daning, our dynasty values the people, and the powerful are not easy in our dynasty, and of course the small countries in the Western Regions don't want their rule to be restricted, so it's not strange to make peace with Daning in private." Meng Yan said thoughtfully.

Meng Yan knows that innovation is not easy, reform will inevitably shed blood, some things are unavoidable, as the territory and power of Daxuan become bigger and bigger, there are more different voices, and the pressure on the imperial court is also increasing.

"Brother Chen understands, after going back, Brother Chen will strengthen his control over the Western Regions, and if necessary, he will use iron-blooded means."

"Can there be less bloodshed or try to shed as little blood as possible, too many families have been sad over the years," and then suddenly looked at Meng Huan coldly, and said coldly: "And what you are doing in the Western Regions, don't think that the court doesn't know, I don't object to men and women having love, but if there is any more reckless disregard for human life, you will take the blame yourself!" ”

Meng Huan felt cold all over his body after hearing this, the soldiers in the army have been in the Western Regions for a long time, the Western Regions are rich in beautiful women, and some young soldiers naturally can't hold back, and a lot of ugly things have happened because of this, and there is a homicide.

"Brother Huang, I have already dealt with that soldier in this matter, but he has made meritorious contributions to the community for many years, so I left him alive."

"Credit, credit, can not offset the merits in human life, although there are many foreign races in the Western Regions, but the people are under the rule of my dynasty, do you understand?"

Meng Huan knew that there was no love to ask for, and he also knew that the general who made the mistake was his favorite general, so he closed his eyes and said: "After the minister goes back, he will be handed over to the People's Court for trial!" ”

"Well, we must not be careless about the affairs of the people, our dynasty can have today's scene is dependent on the support of the people, once bad habits are formed, how different are we from the previous dynasty, after the trial, take more care of his family, and children can be admitted to the two houses of study without examination, so as to be a permanent example."

Meng Huan's originally resistant emotions eased in an instant, and he bowed: "Thank you for the grace of the imperial brother!" ”

Meng Yan waved his hand irritably, sighed and said, "I don't want to give such a grace!" Tan Ji, you also remember to restrain your subordinates! ”

The worries before the meeting were one after another, and Gu Qingfeng was facing Meng Jingke at this moment, and she was thinking about whether she should beat her with her hands or beat her with a stick.

"Tell me, why?!"

"Queen Mother, it's a black shop, and the sons are just eliminating harm for the people!" Meng Jingke stiffened his neck with an attitude of not admitting his mistakes.

"Good! What is the purpose of the various departments and yamen of the imperial court! Use your shot?! It's a loss that no one died, otherwise your father wouldn't have been able to protect you! ”

"The yamen?! Hum! Queen Mother, you don't know that behind the shop is the son-in-law of Hanyang Ling's brother-in-law's family, otherwise why does the queen mother think he didn't dare to report to the official? ”

Gu Qingfeng had long known the background of this shop, and the reason why she was angry was that Meng Jingke was too hasty and too violent.

"You go to the inner courtyard to get the punishment yourself, I will naturally handle the affairs of the Hanyang Order, and next time, I don't care about you, I'll let your eldest brother take care of you!"

sent Meng Jingke away, Gu Qingfeng sat alone, Meng Yan left Beijing, and the affairs of the DPRK and China were handed over to her to act, and Hanyang Ling had already made a plea through the Begonia Garden, but it was just a plea.

Deng Gang is from an old background, and he still doesn't dare to do some things, perhaps because he treats these things as trivial things, which is the inherent characteristic of old people.

"Come on, please invite the Marquis of Jinling and the Marquis of Luochen to come over to discuss the matter." Gu Qingfeng felt that this matter could not be allowed to develop like this, most of the people in Begonia Garden were old people, and their minds were average, and only Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming were suitable to deal with this matter.

Not long after, Yuan and Fang came over together, and when they saw Gu Qingfeng's expression and the fold in their hands, they roughly guessed that they should have been summoned for the matter of Hanyang Ling's family.

"Weichen meets the queen, Niangniang Jin'an!" The two arched their hands.

"The two Aiqing don't have to be polite, have you seen this excerpt?" Gu Qingfeng asked very directly.

The two glanced at each other, and then Yuan Huaiying took the lead in replying: "The opinion of Haitang Garden on this matter is to be shelved, and it will be dealt with after His Majesty returns to Beijing." ”

"This palace doesn't ask the opinion of the Begonia Garden, only the opinions of the two of you."

"Niangniang, the minister thinks that this should be used as a warning, and it should be dealt with openly by the People's Court or the Inner Court!" Fang Keming is colorful.

Yuan Huaiying glanced at Fang Keming, and then said: "Niangniang, the minister thinks that it is better to be cautious, Hanyang Ling's identity is not ordinary. ”

"Lord Yuan, is it because of his identity as Hanyang Ling that he won't dispose of it?! How can the people explain this? What if other officials followed suit?! ”

Fang Keming is an artillery battle, Yuan Huaiying sighed, and said helplessly: "Lord Fang, I didn't mean that, now that the war has just ended, Daning is eyeing me, the new policy is still being implemented gradually, Hanyang is more than Shangshu, it can be regarded as a feudal official, and hasty disposal will cause instability in the court." ”

"Then you mean, you have to look at people's faces? There is no need to talk about the talks after that, no matter what the outcome of the talks is, it will cause turmoil in the DPRK situation, so it is better to go to war directly! ”

"Old Fang, this is too much, I just think we have to deal with it carefully, not to say that we don't deal with it, what does this have to do with peace talks?"

Fang Keming was about to refute, but Gu Qingfeng stood up and said angrily: "Enough!" This palace asked the two of you to come here to inquire, not to listen to your quarrels, let alone ask about your talks, it seems that His Majesty is used to you spoiling you, so you are so presumptuous! ”

When the two saw Gu Qingfeng getting angry, they realized that they were off topic, and hurriedly arched their hands and said: "The ministers are reckless, please forgive your sins!" ”

"Okay, this palace knows what you mean, since you mentioned talks, let's talk about it, what does Jinling want to do?!"

"Niangniang, Jinling suddenly sent an invitation to His Majesty with the intention of Emperor Daning, hoping that His Majesty would go to Jinling to talk with him in order to seek peace." Yuan Huaiying is mainly responsible for sorting out foreign affairs in Begonia Garden.

"What about the Yingzhou talks? Eat one's word? Gu Qingfeng knew that this must be Zhong Roulan's idea.

"Jinling means that the Yingzhou talks are still continuing, and Emperor Ning invited His Majesty in the name of Emperor Daning, and Haitang Yuan thinks that he will not reply."

"Lord Fang, what do you think?" Gu Qingfeng looked at Fang Keming, Yuan Huaiying was resourceful, Fang Keming was decisive, and a decisive response was needed at this time.

Fang Keming's opinion on the handling of Begonia Garden is reserved, since the queen mother asked, he has something to say.

"Niangniang, the minister feels that he can't ignore it, so it's easy for people in the world to think that His Majesty is afraid of Xiao Yu."

"Old Fang, you don't plan to let Your Majesty go, do you?" Yuan Huaiying was surprised.

"Regardless of whether Your Majesty will go or not for the time being, we have to respond to Xiao Yu's invitation, Shizi is the most susceptible, if the wind direction is controlled by Jinling, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

"What the Marquis of Jinling said is reasonable, and this palace also thinks that it is impossible not to respond, but how to respond?"

Fang Keming thought for a moment and said: "Niangniang, the minister has a plan, the current effectiveness of the United Army is still there, and Hu Shuai is still the first person in the United Army in our dynasty, first submit a letter to Xiao Yu in the name of Hu Shuai, explaining the post-war affairs, especially to raise the issue of military deployment along the river and along the river." ”

Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "This plan is very good!" ”
