Chapter 598: Early Summer
At the beginning of May, Yujing City is the most comfortable time.
Especially in the evening.
The weather was neither hot nor cold.
The air is neither dry nor dry.
The annoying cicadas have not yet woken up, and although there are mosquitoes, there are still very few.
The lotus flowers in the lotus pond where you live quietly have already budded.
The green leaves have spread all over the pond, the pink buds are swaying slightly in the evening breeze, and some dragonflies have landed on the pointed lotus buds, and they are also swaying with the lotus buds.
Wen Boiled Rain stood by the pond and looked at the red dragonfly resting on the lotus bud in the sunset.
Su Yi'an and Nian Chengfeng were in the gazebo behind him.
On the table in the gazebo were four dishes and a pot of wine.
Su Yi'an turned his head to look at Wen Zhuanyu's back, and his mood was very heavy.
He arrived in Kyoto in early April.
Now, he has taken over the position of Cheng Jingting, the Duke of Cheng Guo, and has become the subordinate of Ning Guo.
It can be described as a step to the sky.
However, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not complain.
Because he was invited by the regent!
is also because he is a Confucian of Ningguo, and his character is noble, twenty years ago, he was even a colleague with many people.
In the rest of the month, Su Yi'an also integrated into the temple.
He had understood the essence of the Regent's transformation, and he was about to make a big show of his ambitions, but unexpectedly...... Just a few days ago, I got an urgent message from the Imperial City Division Flying Pigeon-
The regent Li Chen'an, he was actually in the Xishan place of Chongqing Mansion...... It's gone!
What the hell!
Wen Zhuyu also told him before that the regent's policy is a series of reform strategies!
The current five-year plan is just the beginning.
In the future, when the regent returns to Kyoto, there will certainly be more policies that are beneficial to the people and the country.
But now, he's dead!
If he dies, there will be no one in this Ning Kingdom who will be able to take the helm according to his ideas.
Then there is no future!
Pity!
That kid was only eighteen years old!
It's a pity that kid has such an amazing talent!
"This is roughly the genius of the heavens!"
Su Yi'an poured three glasses of wine, sighed, and said: "But it's strange to say, regent Wang Xu, shouldn't his body be sent back to Kyoto for a state funeral according to the etiquette system?" ”
"Why is it so sloppy and buried in that desolate place in the West Mountain?"
Wen Boiling Rain walked over.
There was no sadness on his face.
Instead, with a smile.
He sat down at the table and looked at Su Yi'an, "Xu is the emperor's eldest son, come, drink, don't talk about him!" ”
Nian Chengfeng glanced at Wen Zhuan suspiciously, picked up the wine glass, and did not ask Li Chen'an about it, but said:
"How much do you know about this eldest son of the emperor?"
"Drink first!"
Three people share a drink.
"If you want to say that I know about this emperor's eldest son, I really don't know too much."
"His name is Xiao Wu and he has a disability...... The ears can't hear, the mouth can't speak, he is the disciple of Sun Shenyi, that is, the disciple of the eldest grandson Tiexian. ”
Su Yi'an was stunned, "This, how can he communicate with the ministers when he is the emperor?" ”
"He can read and write."
“……”
Su Yi'an wanted to say that there were all kinds of emperors in all dynasties, but there had never been a deaf and dumb emperor.
Wen Zhuan Yu took the wine jug and poured the wine while saying:
"He's the Regent's best friend, and that's a great blessing!"
"I dare to say that at today's meeting, I have thought about it carefully."
"Think about it, Xiao Wu is the eldest son of the emperor, and the regent went to Xishan to pick him up."
"The regent was killed in Xishan, and Xiao Wu's life story was revealed, although there was no necessary connection, but the trip to Xishan cleared the last obstacle for Xiao Wu to become the emperor!"
Nian Chengfeng stroked his short beard and asked, "Did you kill Concubine Li?" ”
"Yes!"
"In this way, no one in the palace can threaten Xiao Wu to ascend the throne as emperor...... As for the third prince, I think that when Yan Jidao goes to the Red Flame Army, he will always give the court an explanation. ”
"Even if Yan Jidao, who is an uncle, can't do it, Ning Zhiyuan will never be able to return to Kyoto."
"Xiao Wu has become the emperor, and the one he should be most grateful for is the regent."
"And then there is Zhongli Mansion's kindness to him over the years...... I dare assert that he would not deny the regent's national policies! ”
Su Yi'an frowned and thought about it, and after a while, his eyebrows expanded.
He figured it out—
Xiao Wu ascended the throne as emperor, and he relied on the power of Zhongli Mansion.
He had to thank the regent for his brotherhood.
The most important thing is that Xiao Wu has no support for him whether he is in the court or in the people!
Even if he tasted the taste of power and wanted to do something, Wen Zhuanyu was not an easy person, and Dingguo Hou was not a soft-hearted person.
If Xiao Wu was smarter, he would definitely not deny Li Chenan.
He should get close to the ministers of the court in order to maintain his dignity as emperor.
Of course, as the eldest son of the emperor supported by the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, Wen Zhuanyu would not take the initiative to conflict with the new emperor.
The best-case scenario is that the emperor is comfortable as his emperor, with three provinces, six ministries and all officials, still carrying out the five-year plan drawn up by the regent.
Of course, it would be best if you could have fun.
If the well water does not interfere with the river water, and each other can be safe, then at least there is no harm to Ning Guo.
Su Yi'an figured it out.
Nian Chengfeng also figured it out.
The three of them raised their glasses to mourn for Li Chen'an's death, and also set the tone for the big things to be done in the future.
"The news from Annan Province, I'm afraid it will come back in the next few days."
Wen Zhuanyu put down the cup, there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows, and said:
"Wu Qian, that kid is a character."
"What I'm most worried about is that the Red Flame Army will be seized by that kid when they leave the Boundless Pass!"
"According to the time, that kid arrived at the Endless Pass, almost exactly when the Red Flame Army left......"
"If he takes the 80,000 troops of Zhaohua City of Wu State to attack and take advantage of the situation to take the Boundless Pass, even if Yan Jidao stops the Red Flame Army in time, seizes the command of the Red Flame Army, and then returns to the Boundless Pass...... I'm afraid it won't be so easy to recapture it again. ”
Nian Chengfeng nodded, "The old man thinks that there is something wrong with the command of this army. ”
"Last year, the change in Kyoto, the Red Flame Army came to Kyoto."
"This time, the Red Flame Army left the Boundless Pass without permission and ran to Kyoto again......"
"Speaking of which, it's all about the control of the army, and I'm afraid we need to come up with a good way to solve it."
Wen Zhuanyu bowed slightly, "Well, but how to weigh it, this matter needs to be thought about more." ”
"If only that kid were here!"
"He must have a good way to restrain the army, and he must also have a good way to build the army."
Nian Chengfeng also sighed, he drank a glass of wine, and suddenly asked:
"Say, will that kid still be alive?"
Su Yi'an was taken aback, and Wen Boiling Yu groaned for three breaths and showed a wry smile:
"If he is still alive, how could the fourth princess Ning Chuchu go to Mobei!"
Su Yi'an asked, "What about Miss Xiao?" ”
"It is said that he was sad and broke his heart, and went to Wanxi Zhai alone."
"Oh...... Then he would be dead. ”
"It's a pity!"
