Fuyang City soon returned to its former calm.

For the people, there doesn't seem to be much difference, that is, the people in power in the palace have changed from Empress Dowager Liu to King Zheng in the past and Princess Qingluan now.

There was no tax increase, no new conscription was added, and everyone still did what they had to do, so the people of Fuyang City quickly accepted this unchanged change.

The army of the Tang Dynasty also withdrew, and there were still some people living in the camp outside the city, and I heard that it was the Tang Navy that followed the Duke of Pingguo of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Qingluan.

After they solve the matter of Fuyang City, they will continue to go south to find trouble with the Zhen family's father and son.

Zhen Xiong has been the father of the country for several years, but the people don't like him very much, and even hate him.

In the first battle of Baozicheng, the Tang Dynasty lost 40,000 soldiers, and the Dongyue suffered 100,000 casualties, and two or three of the ten households had a funeral.

And the reason for this battle was to preach the rebel thief at first, and later I learned that it was for fear that Pingguo Gong and Princess Qingluan would seek revenge on him.

In addition, some time ago, Zhen Xiong wantonly looted people's wealth, which made more people hate him to the core.

Therefore, Tang Ping and the others wanted to continue to go south to Nanyang to attack Zhen Xiong's new territory, and many people applauded in their hearts.

Of course, what happened after that had nothing to do with the people here, Princess Qingluan said that there would be no tax increase within two years. That's enough for many people, and for the rest, love whoever you want.

The only people who were worried were the officials of the Central Committee of East Vietnam in the past in Fuyang City.

A few years ago, the emperor died, Zhen Xiong stole the country, and their group of people can be said to have vested interests, after all, the position in the court is a turnip and a pit, and many officials who support the Wang family have stepped down, so they vacated their positions and let them take the position.

This is also why the closer Tang Ping and the others get to the vicinity of Fuyang, the stronger the resistance of Dongyue will be, and these people are indispensable behind it.

Otherwise, how could it be done with only one Empress Dowager Liu in the palace?

Empress Dowager Liu opened the city and surrendered, they were unwilling, but the huge artillery outside the city and hundreds of thousands of Tang troops let them know that if they didn't surrender now, it would be a question of whether they could survive after the city was broken.

In desperation, he remained silent.

Now that the power is in the hands of Wang Qingluan, it is not yet known what the status of these people is, but they heard that Wang Qingluan has sent someone to invite some old ministers in the past, and this news also makes them even more worried.

It is always uncomfortable to hand over the power that was once in your hands.

After waiting like this for five or six days, Princess Qingluan in the palace did not go to the court or announce the audience of the people, but only sent Zhang Wenhan to each official, telling them to think about what they thought if they were in their original position, had measures to govern, and if they were allowed to manage East Vietnam.

The first one is good to say, in their positions, although these people were promoted by Zhen Xiong later, but in the past few years, they may not have no merit in their own positions, at least Dongyue has maintained prosperity in recent years, and they have made great contributions.

It's rare to be the second one, as a courtier, to say how to manage Dongyue's opinion, this is a bit arrogant, plus he is not the original minister, and he can't figure out the character of Princess Qingluan.

"What do you say, what does this Qingluan princess want?"

"He Shangshu said cautiously, today we should all change our words to Your Majesty!"

"What Wang Shangshu said is that the old man lost his words."

A group of former East Vietnamese courtiers gathered together to discuss.

"I think, is it the matter of the former emperor that makes His Majesty doubt us? So you use this as a temptation?"

"It's unlikely, you must know that Your Majesty has followed the emperor from the beginning of the past to learn the way of the emperor, and married Tang Ping, the most intelligent prince of Pingguo in the Tang Dynasty, how could they be so straightforward to test us?"

"You say, is it possible that Your Majesty will live in Chang'an in the future because he is married to Tang Ping, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty? I've heard that the two of them have a beloved daughter named Tang Tang, who is extremely favored by the two, so will Your Majesty not stay in Fuyang, so you have to choose someone to oversee the country on her behalf?" One

As soon as Shilang finished speaking, he was looked at by a group of courtiers with strange eyes: "Cui Shilang, I'm afraid you didn't wake up, right? Your Majesty has finally returned to the country to regain reunification, how can it be possible to live in Chang'an?"

"That is, although Dongyue will inevitably be affected by the Tang Dynasty in the future, but we are the richest country in the Central Plains Continent, how can Your Majesty leave Dongyue for the sake of Princess Tang Tang alone? Impossible!"

A group of Dongyue courtiers discussed and discussed the past, but they never understood why Wang Qingluan asked everyone to put forward their views on how to manage Dongyue.

In the end, they can only discuss simply writing some clichés, they are still very good at this kind of thing, and they are sprinkled with thousands of words, as if they have said everything, and they don't seem to have said anything, anyway, they don't leave a single mistake.

On the tenth day of Fuyang's change of master, everyone finally got the news of the reopening of the court, and went out from home and entered the palace early in the morning.

"Tut-tut......" Tang Ping made a strange sound while surrounding Wang Qingluan, who was wearing a dragon robe.

Wang Qingluan gave him a blank look and asked, "What? Do you think I don't look as good in a dragon robe as Gu Xiaotang in a sweaty suit?"

"Hey, look at what you said, why did this happen to Gu Xiaotang again." Tang Ping straightened her collar: "Isn't this that I haven't seen such a beautiful female emperor?"

"I'm the king of Dongyue now, but I'm not the emperor, don't talk nonsense."

"It's okay, I'll just say it, as long as the second uncle doesn't mind this matter, others will hold back even if they have any opinions." Tang Ping looked at Wang Qingluan, who had sorted out his clothes, and said, "Well, I didn't expect that one day, I would really be a man who could become an emperor."

Wang Qingluan didn't understand it first, but after careful consideration, he thought about what he said, took a bite of him and said, "It's about to go to court, why don't you go with me?"

"Haah......" Tang Ping yawned: "I won't go, you see that I am too lazy to go to the Tang Dynasty, and I said that Dongyue is autonomous, I am going to go, I am afraid that it will be true."

Wang Qingluan nodded, of course she went up to the Dongyue Hall countless times in the past, but she was always in the position of King Zheng of Dongyue standing at the bottom, and the position of the dragon chair was the first time to sit on it, and it was impossible to feel a little apprehensive in her heart.

As the chamberlain walked through the corridor, he could already see that the hall was full of Dongyue courtiers, Wang Qingluan took a deep breath, and then walked in.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin was crowned the king of Dongyue, but he didn't say that he wanted to change the regulations, the Turks still called Gu Xiaotang the Great Khan, and these courtiers in Dongyue also called Wang Qingluan His Majesty.

"All the ministers are flat."

Among the courtiers, there are many who do not wear court clothes, but they all stand straight one by one, with a proud face.

These people are the old ministers of the year, who were squeezed out of the court by Zhen Xiong after the death of the first emperor, and now they are invited back by Wang Qingluan, so they naturally feel that they have turned over. On the other hand, those wearing court clothes are trembling and cautious.

"I won't say more, everyone knows the current situation in Dongyue. The family of Zhen Xiong, a female thief who steals the country, is far away from overseas, so I will naturally go to seek justice for the emperor in person, and I will call everyone to come today......

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Before Wang Qingluan finished speaking, he was interrupted by an old man in a cloth robe.

This person Wang Qingluan also knows, the past imperial doctor.

I couldn't help but have some strange thoughts in my heart, you must know that this old man often interrupted his father's words like this back then, and his father was often angry enough after coming down.

I didn't expect it to be my turn today.

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty wants to rebel for the emperor, it is a matter of course, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, the Zhen family father and son are far away from overseas, Your Majesty can send someone to go, how can you easily drive the expedition?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the situation at sea is changing rapidly, how can Your Majesty's golden body be easily in danger? I heard that His Majesty is returning to China with the Tang Navy this time, so it is better to ask the Tang Navy to take action on his behalf when the time comes!"

"I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

With this imperial envoy doctor taking the lead, a group of old ministers in cloth clothes all stood up and admonished

。

And those in court clothes were all silent, and the camp above the court was clearly divided.

Wang Qingluan was helpless in her heart, this was one of the reasons why she didn't want to be the emperor, what kind of imperial technique, the way of balance, she didn't understand, she just felt too tired.

These old ministers seem to be well-intentioned, but in fact, they are just afraid that this road is far away, or they go to the sea, in case they have some accidents at sea, they finally return to the court and take power again, it is likely that they will be empty again.

And before they finished speaking, they dared to refute without giving themselves face, because they felt that they were the first emperor's faction at that time, and they were demoted for the sake of the first emperor, they were all meritorious ministers, and they had no choice but to take them.

Originally, Wang Qingluan first readjusted the officials of various ministries of the imperial court, but before she could speak, these old ministers began to oppose her to continue to go south to conquer Zhen Xiong.

"That Zhen Xiong is a national thief, and I am the lord of Dongyue, how can I sit idly by? Moreover, when the emperor died, I swore that I would personally rebel, and if I did not go, wouldn't it be unfilial?"

These old ministers buttoned up their big hats for their own safety, and Wang Qingluan turned his hand and buckled back the big hats that were going to trap him for his unfilial piety.

But these old fritters were not so easy to deal with, and once again they spoke one after another, and for a while, the court actually became a group of old ministers in cloth clothes chattering around Wang Qingluan.

"Ahem!" At this moment, a cough interrupted their argument, and Tang Ping walked in with twenty-eight steps.

"Ping Guogong, you are ......?"

"It's okay, I'll take a look, originally I said I'd wait for my daughter-in-law to go to breakfast later, but I didn't see anyone for a long time, so I'll come and see."

"You!"

"Ping Guogong, this is the Dongyue court, you do this......

"Alright!" Tang Ping said loudly, "You have a lot to do! You also know that this is the Dongyue court, and this is the only daughter of the former emperor, the king of Dongyue recognized by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.

The courtiers below were dumbfounded, this ...... Aren't all the courts like this? What do you mean by that?

Tang Ping didn't care what they thought, and continued: "Also, calling you here today is not necessarily to reinstate your officials, but originally to discuss the positions of these ministries. It's your turn to tell you about this court?"

"You!" A few old ministers opened their eyes and pointed at Tang Ping.

"What am I? What we want today is an executor, a person who can do things according to His Majesty's will, who can do it, and if he can't do it, go home and farm."

Of course, Tang Ping knew that what he said was a bit excessive, but it was also these old ministers who were too first, relying on the former emperor's faction, relying on the old and selling the old, and messing around, he couldn't listen to it anymore.

So he simply came out to support his daughter-in-law and cut through the mess quickly.

And he is not wrong, what Dongyue wants in the future is a manager, and the decision is to let Fang Du and others in Chang'an City come out, as long as it can be implemented well.

"Ping Guogong, this is Dongyue, not the Tang Dynasty!" An old minister was anxious and blurted out.

"So what?" Tang Ping glanced at him contemptuously: "I have dozens of strong ships and cannons outside the city, as well as tens of thousands of warriors, you must also know that the current Dongyue is not the previous Dongyue!"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, I've told you a long time ago, prepare your governance measures in your respective positions, today we will be selected and competed for posts, starting from the position of prime minister, and those who intend to be in this position will be listed."

Then Tang Ping waved his hand, called the waiter outside with a dinner plate, and said to Wang Qingluan, "Let's listen while eating, don't starve yourself."

Although Tang Ping's move was too nonsense, Wang Qingluan was full of joy, knowing that Tang Ping was defending her, so she nodded in response, regardless of the reaction below, and sat on it with Tang Ping to eat breakfast.
