Feng Ang and Ning Changzhen have already lived in the palace, in the annex of Menxia Province, in addition to sleeping every day, they are in Shangshu Province.

Recently, Shangshu Province is very lively, and after the court meeting, the chief officials of the eleven temples in the three provinces will come here to discuss matters about Lingnan.

In such a large area, the policies of the imperial court have never been able to be implemented, not to mention that the emperor is not happy, the ministers are not happy, the common people don't know, if they know that the people over there only pay the tax of the two jujubes, they are not happy.

Don't suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness.

Pei Ju is already formulating the list of the twenty counties of Lingnan, and the imperial court is preparing to have a big blood change in Lingnan, and the magistrates will go down to implement the policy, this is for you to write from, and Laihu'er, who is in Jiangdu, is not the right time, and it will be hard for you.

With a two-pronged approach, it can be seen that the attitude of the imperial court this time is very resolute, but they still have to grasp a good degree, that is, to avoid the Lingnan rebellion as much as possible.

Therefore, coming to Hu'er to sit in Jiangdu is actually a kind of deterrent, and it will not be used easily.

Feng and Ning didn't have to worry about the central bigwigs in the court making faces with the two of them, because at the moment, the court wanted to appease them and stabilize them, so they naturally greeted each other with a smile.

Yang Yue is also here, and it stands to reason that he doesn't have a part in participating, but his qualifications are too old, as long as he wants to come, no one will stop him.

"These new Taishou lists in Lingnan should take care of the general and the Duke of Qinjiang to the greatest extent, they think that fifteen belong to the imperial court and five belong to them, if it is inappropriate, then let's take a step," Yang Yue said.

Feng and Ning couldn't imagine that there would be someone to help them speak, and they were Yang Su's younger brothers.

Interesting enough, brother, you friend, Lingnan has made a deal.

Ning Changzhen nodded and said: "As Yang Gong said, we don't care how many people the imperial court sends down, what we care about is that after these people go down, what will happen to Lingnan, Feng Ang and I are in Lingnan, and we can't have the final say on everything, it involves the interests of various tribes, we are caught in the middle, and we can only be peacemakers, as for whether people listen to it or not, it's another matter." ”

It was originally a negotiation, and there must be concessions in the negotiation, Pei Jushi opened his mouth and said at once that he wanted fifteen counties, but in fact, he first raised the offer, and then slowly bargained.

Pei Ju said with a smile: "Ningyue County is still the most suitable for Qinjiang Gong, Hepu County is your cousin Ning Daoming, Yongxi County belongs to your clan uncle Ning Chun, Nanhai County belongs to Pingyuan Gong (Feng Xuan), Gaoliang County is still General Feng, these five counties are not moving, and the rest, let's discuss it slowly." ”

Feng Ang opened his mouth and said: "Liuqiu, the prince once promised us that he would hand it over to us for management, and Pei Gong should be included in it." ”

"It's counted," Pei Ju said with a smile: "How about setting up a county and handing it over to Feng Shihui (Hui), the eldest son of Pingyuan Gong?" ”

Feng Ang nodded, Nanhai County is in their hands, it is the most important, because Nanhai County is the largest county in Lingnan, during the Kaihuang period, it was called Guangzhou, and Guangzhou in later generations was also here.

And occupying Guangzhou, he has always had the right to supervise the entire Lingnan.

The whole Lingnan can be divided into three large blocks according to its special geographical conditions.

In layman's terms, it is Guizhou Road, Guangzhou Road, and Jiaozhou Road.

Guizhou is in the northwest, Guangzhou is in the east, and Jiaozhou is in the southwest.

Between Guizhou Road and Guangzhou Road, there is a Yunkai Mountain, with this mountain range as the dividing line, later divided into Guangxi Autonomous Region and Guangdong Province, in the Tang Dynasty called Lingnan West Road and Lingnan East Road.

Do you know why Guangxi is not a province, but an autonomous region? In the 21st century, you have to let people govern themselves, and this is to take care of the local cultural customs of others.

As for Jiaozhou, this is in Vietnam, and there is almost no land transportation between Jiaozhou and Guizhou.

During the Kaihuang period, Liu Fang attacked Jiaozhou, which was over the mountains and mountains, not along the road, what kind of mountains did he turn? That's right, 100,000 mountains.

In history, it was not until the twelfth year of Zhenguan that Li Hongjie, the prince of Qingping County, followed the road walked by Liu Fang, and opened up a land passage between Guizhou and Jiaozhou.

These three areas will be the key to the negotiations between the imperial court and Feng and Ning.

Su Wei smiled on the side: "The matter is to be discussed a little bit, we must also have considerations, the two of them must be raised, as Your Majesty said, what we want is a happy one, the two of you can rest assured, the final result is to be consensual, if one party is not happy, this matter will not be decided." ”

Ning Changzhen smiled bitterly and said: "The princes need to know, it's not that the two of us are unhappy, but according to the current situation in Lingnan as a reference, for the princes to refer to." ”

"Of course, of course, the two of them have their hearts to the imperial court, this is a thing known to the whole world," Su Wei said with a smile.

A group of bigwigs use a piece of land as a bargaining chip in negotiations, this county belongs to you, and that county belongs to him, as if they are sharing the cake.

A small decision made by the center of the Great Sui can affect the lives of millions of people in Lingnan in the future.

is like a sentence in the TV series: If your grandfather makes a mistake, my grandfather will have to ask for food.

Feng Ang is interested in the imperial court, so he occupies Guangzhou, and the imperial court has no opinion, but Ning Chang is really Guangxi, and it will not make you comfortable.

Ningyue County is the area of Qinzhou City in later generations, which is close to the sea, and Yulin County to the north, that is, around Nanning, Guangxi, which is also Ning Changzhen's sphere of influence.

But the imperial court has made up its mind here, and is ready to put a ruthless man, General Zuo Yuwei, Qiu He.

As soon as Feng and Ning heard this name, their faces turned green, because Qiu He used to be the Taishou of Yanmen County, and they were the best at deploying defense lines.

Do you want to go? If he wanted to go, there must be something wrong with his brain.

Although the military department can't control him, Shangshu wants him to go, so he has to go.

"Pingcheng County Gong is placed in Lingnan, do you think it is appropriate?" Feng Ang was surprised.

Pei Ju said with a smile: "It's appropriate, Pingcheng Gong doesn't look like he was born in the military, but he is easy and submissive, gentle and humble, and if he goes to Yulin, he will definitely be able to complement the two." ”

Gentle Nima's legs, Lao Tzu has not seen him in Liaodong, Feng Ang shook his head and said: "It doesn't work, I can't agree." ”

Qiu He's arrangement was clearly aimed at Ning Changzhen, because the original five fixed county guard positions, Ningyue County, Hepu County, and Yongxi County occupied by the old Ning family, were all in the south, and all of them bordered Yulin.

Is this unclear because they are not at ease with their Lao Ning family?

It is a matter of tangible interests, and Ning Changzhen is definitely going to speak: "With all due respect, half of Yulin is the Xiou tribe, and this place cannot be managed by others." ”

Pei Ju said with a smile: "Qiu He goes down, naturally you are still the main one, he is the auxiliary, there are some things, if you don't help, he can't do it." ”

Hehe, why should I help? Ning Changzhen said:

"The Xiou tribe is not my own decision, there are more people surnamed Ning, 'Lingnan is rich and strong, the pearls are surrounded by the sea, and it is especially difficult to be subdued, and it is abandoned by the Han family,' This is the evaluation of the Central Plains people on us, I think this evaluation is very pertinent, Lingnan also needs to be governed by the autonomy of local tribal leaders, and the Yanmen County that Pingcheng can govern can not govern Yulin County."

Pei Ju smiled and looked at Su Wei.

Su Wei sat in one of the main seats, bowed his head and sucked the tea, and did not say a word.

The official office was quiet all of a sudden, because Ning Changzhen's attitude was obvious, he still hoped that Lingnan would be autonomous, and I would just pay tribute to the imperial court every year, you want too much, I can't give it.

Niu Hong said: "The arrangement of Yulin County is unanimously considered appropriate after the unification of the ideas of the three provinces and eleven temples, and the imperial court will not change it, so it is decided on this arrangement." ”

Ning Chang was really angry, and there was a fire in his stomach, is this called discussion? nmlgb。

The imperial court's competition for this position is actually to occupy most of the Guizhou Road, compress Ning Changzhen's sphere of influence, and form a pattern of facing east and west with Feng Ang in Guangzhou.

Since it is going to target Ning Changzhen, Feng Ang must not be moved, so the arrangement of Guangzhou Dao of the imperial court will take care of Feng An's feelings to a large extent.

In fact, in the final analysis, everyone is so eager to compress Ning Changzhen because you rebelled.

How can a person with a backbone not be wary?

This is a negotiation that is in the interests of each other, and it is bound to be protracted.

After returning to the East Palace, Yang Ming was as usual, he even deliberately avoided Yang Yinjiang and Chen Shuyi and went to Pei Shuying's Yichun Palace.

"I've seen the list in Shangshu Province, he was sent to the county guard in Lingnan, there is Pei Xuanji, do you want him to go?" Yang Ming asked.

Pei Shuying smiled and sat down next to her husband: "I definitely don't want it, but the arrangement of Shangshu Province naturally has a father's meaning, as long as he is willing, let his younger brother go." ”

Yang Ming said with a smile: "It's very dangerous over there, the law is useless, the fangs are mixed, and it is not uncommon for officials and people to fight each other, aren't you worried?" ”

Pei Shuying said: "How is Lingnan today compared to 20 years ago? My father went there twenty years ago, and my brother naturally went too. ”

Yang Ming smiled and nodded, looked his wife up and down, and said, "You are a lot plumper than before?" ”

"You're a busy man, and you rarely come to me, do you know now that you can take a good look at your wife?" Pei Shuying snuggled into Yang Ming's arms, and said quietly: "I still miss the time when I was in the palace, everyone lived close and walked around a lot, now I come to the East Palace, I want to see each other, sometimes it's not easy, you come to see me more, I'm not competing for favor, I just want to be with you more." ”

Yang Ming simply picked her up and put her on her lap and shook it:

"People are in a high position, they can't help themselves, national and family affairs, the world's affairs, I have to take care of everything, although it is not common in ordinary times, but the concern has never stopped, by the way, I want to tell you one thing."

"What's the matter?" Pei Shuying closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of this moment.

Yang Ming said lightly: "Shuyi was once pregnant with my child, but the child was not saved, do you know about it?" ”

Pei Shuying was stunned for a moment, sat up straight and said in surprise:

"When?"

Yang Ming said: "In the second year of the Great Cause, you left Beijing to see me in Luoyang, and she just returned to Beijing with Mrs. Great Wall, of course, you didn't meet her, because she was in Yang Yin's carriage at the time." ”

Pei Shuying was suddenly stunned: "What did Yang Xuan do?" ”

Yang Ming nodded, and told Pei Shuying what he heard from Wei Ying as it was.
