"The emperor has arrived!"

There weren't many people at today's dinner, so the venue was also in a small room.

Of course, the crampedness is also compared to those halls, which is more than enough to accommodate a dozen people.

"Weichen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Weichen see the queen's mother, the queen is a thousand years old!"

Zhu Gaoqi did not do anything to cover up what he said before, so the news spread quickly in the palace, and Su Wu and Yang Shiqi had already received the news.

"Haha, concubine, look at it, my right-hand man has already called you the queen mother!"

Normally, before the emperor was crowned a god, other people called a concubine the queen in front of the emperor, which was a passover.

But Yang Shiqi and Su Wu are both old acquaintances of Zhu Gao, and when they say this, of course Zhu Gaoyi cannot be investigated, not to mention, Zhu Gaoyi is very happy to hear others say this.

Because Zhang Yingzhen has been shirking the matter of becoming the queen.

"Two Aiqing, please hurry up, tonight, the banquet will be regarded as my family banquet!"

Zhu Gaoyi laughed and took Zhang Yingzhen to the top position, while Su Wu and Yang Shiqi sat at the low tables on both sides.

There is a strict hierarchy in the palace, even if Zhu Gaoyi said that this is a family banquet, but in the palace, the two of them cannot sit at the same height as Zhu Gaoyao.

"The two adults laughed, this palace is just an ordinary imperial concubine, and she didn't help His Majesty do anything, how can she afford the position of queen?"

At this time, Zhang Yingzhen said modestly,

"What's more, there is only one concubine in this huge harem, I wonder if you need to recruit some talented and talented concubines for Your Majesty?"

"The queen doesn't have to be modest, during the absence of His Majesty, you will keep the entire harem in order. has long had the demeanor of a queen, and everyone is willing to nominate you as a queen in their hearts! ”

Yang Shiqi raised his glass and continued.

"If it weren't for the queen's mother taking care of it in the harem, I'm afraid I wouldn't have to worry about handling government affairs in the front hall!"

Yang Shiqi appreciates Zhang Yingzhen's ability very much from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as Yang Shiqi finished speaking, Zhu Gaoqi's eyes were on Su Wu's body, Su Wu chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly echoed Yang Shiqi's words.

"What the two adults said is extremely true, Weichen heard that in this palace, the prestige of the queen mother has impressed most people!"

"It's really expected that you will be the queen!"

Well, that's right!

After listening to Su Wu's words, Zhu Gaoyao nodded with satisfaction.

Su Wu didn't know Zhang Yingzhen before, and when Zhang Yingzhen moved to the harem, Su Wu followed him and went to western Sichuan together, so it was naturally impossible to know what Zhang Yingzhen did in the palace.

Normally, Su Wu should not be able to say anything, but under the coercion of Zhu Gaozhen, he also praised Zhang Yingzhen a lot.

"Ai Concubine, look at what my ministers say, don't shirk it anymore, okay!"

The form is like this, Zhang Yingzhen couldn't refuse at this time, so she had to nod and agree.

"Well, then thanks to your lordships and Your Majesty's kindness!"

"That's right, come, Yang Aiqing, Su Aiqing, let go of all your worries tonight and have a good drink with me!"

……

After being full of wine and food, Zhu Gaozhen sent someone to send Zhang Yingzhen back to the harem, and he went to the imperial study with Su Wu and Yang Shiqi.

"Su Wu, what happened in western Sichuan, as well as your plan, let's talk to Yang Shiqi, I will take a look here for a while!"

It was only then that Zhu Gaojiao remembered that there were still two prisoners in the camp in western Sichuan!

Zhu Gaoyao remembered that they were a man and a woman, what were the names of the two of them?

Forget it, forget it, forget it, it's two inconspicuous characters anyway, I guess they're all dead now.

Zhu Gaoyi looked intently at the excerpts in front of him, and among these excerpts, there were not many that needed to be authorized by himself, and most of them were transfers of some officials.

Others, Yang Shiqi has already approved, and he is consulting his own opinions

What else can I say, of course, I am very satisfied!

Just when Zhu Gaoyi was about to review the fold in his hand, Su Wu had already told Yang Shiqi in detail about what he encountered in western Sichuan.

"Yang Shiqi, what do you think about this matter!"

This time, Zhu Gaoyi called Yang Shiqi's full name, and Yang Shiqi could also hear that His Majesty was quite serious about the affairs of the frontier.

"Wei Chen thinks that the strategy proposed by Lord Su is indeed exquisite, but even if His Majesty promulgates a will, it may not guarantee that those frontier ministers can believe it!"

"So Yang Aiqing means ......"

"Shoot the first bird, in the same way, among these people, there needs to be a person who eats the crab first, so that they can see the benefits before they can proceed smoothly!"

Zhu Gaoyao nodded, and said lightly, but this candidate is difficult.

If Zhu Gao's brothers are still alive, their descendants are good candidates, first, they are close to themselves, know themselves and know their opponents, and they are easy to control, and second, they are all a family, let them eat the benefits first, and they will also get it from their own families, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

It's just a pity that they all died in the previous civil strife.

"Your Majesty, if there is such a person, Weichen has a candidate!"

"Who?"

"The King of Canglan County!"

The king of Canglan County, who is he? Zhu Gaoyi couldn't help but recall this person carefully in his mind, but he was stunned and found that he had no impression.

"As far as Wei Chen knows, this person did not participate in the civil war of the vassal king, but settled in a small county town at the junction of my Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions, and used it as his fiefdom!"

When this person was a young man of Su Wu, he listened to his teacher, and it is said that his teacher had also met with the king of Canglan County.

"Although this person has always been in a single position and wants to continuously expand his power, the resources of the fief where he is located are too small, and the population is even more sparse."

"So I can only endure it all the time and develop slowly, but at this rate of development, it is difficult for him to have any effect before he dies."

Ambition, fiefdom, and being on the frontier are indeed very suitable for this first crab eater.

"According to Weichen's teacher, once this Canglan County King gets the right to use troops freely, he will definitely open up his territory as soon as possible."

"And Your Majesty only needs to pretend, give him a certain amount of resources, let him plump his wings in a short time, and there will definitely be gratifying results in a short period of time!"

With courage, strategy, and ambition, this Canglan King is indeed a candidate. (End of chapter)
