Chapter 3 Taoguang Cultivates Obscurity

"Ah Weng, you have served the first emperor for more than ten years, why is the Yan family so highly valued?"

On the corridor to the imperial study, Chu Heng did not take the imperial court, but asked Liu An, the chief official beside him, as if he was walking.

Liu An was silent for a moment and then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the Yan family was originally a big family in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after the Southern Tang Dynasty was flattened by Emperor Taizong, it was only then that it moved to Kyoto to enter the court as an official ......."

"When I arrived at the first emperor, because of the dragon's skill, this made the first emperor pay attention to it!"

"First for the subordination, and then pressed the right stakes to make a fortune again, so it was."

Knowing what happened, Chu Heng immediately continued to speak: "After today, I plan to cultivate my own power, and if you stay in the palace for a long time, there must be a suitable candidate, and you will draw up a list for me when you go back." ”

"My requirements are not high, just be loyal to the imperial power!"

Liu An nodded slightly when he heard this, but then he was still puzzled: "Since Your Majesty wants to cultivate power, why don't you choose the current Shangshutai ......?"

"Right now, I, the Great Yan Minister, is in charge, the imperial power is declining, and I can't trust the people in the court!"

At this moment, Chu Heng still has the prodigal appearance just now, and said with a sinister look in his eyes: "It is precisely because the people in the court are not trustworthy now that I need to secretly cultivate my own ears and eyes. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Knowing the deep meaning behind Chu Heng, Liu An couldn't help but have tears in his eyes when he heard this.

Liu An, who has served two generations of emperors, is already dying, and it is not so much that he is loyal to Chu Heng, but that he is more loyal to the Great Yan Emperor!

In the past few years, Chu Heng has been repeatedly manipulated by the Yan family, and although Liu An is saddened by the decline of the Great Yan Imperial Power, he can only sit back and watch.

Not for anything else, just for a sentence of Emperor Taizong's will:

Relatives and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics!

Therefore, he could only watch Chu Heng, who was still young, bear the name of a faint monarch and become a faint monarch.

And now that Emperor Dayan has finally woken up, even if Chu Heng has to face a sea of swords and fire, Liu An, who has already stepped into the coffin with half a foot, is willing to become Chu Heng's stepping stone!

Under Liu An's guidance, after a while, Chu Heng strode into the imperial study, and at first glance, the old man with red lines on a black background in the middle of the room was standing silently in it.

This person is now Da Yan's right Cheng Nangong Ce, and he is also his Chu Heng's father-in-law!

"Chennan Gongce, meet Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Chu Heng had arrived, Nangong Ce respectfully gave a big salute to the emperor, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

It wasn't until Chu Heng sat safely on the throne that Nangong Ce dared to stand up and stand in front of Chu Heng.

"The prince came here late at night, I don't know why?"

"Back to Your Majesty, a few days ago, the southern border received a war report, and the Qiang Yong barbarians have not been very peaceful these days, and they have repeatedly violated our border."

Nangong Ce made a generous statement, and said earnestly: "After the minister learned about this, he sighed all night, and specially came to ask His Majesty to send his dog Nangong Wei to the south to garrison and protect the territory and the people!" ”

These words seemed to be nothing, but Chu Heng immediately sniffed out something wrong from them.

There are 100,000 border troops and 50,000 reserve troops in the southern border, so there is no need to mobilize the army like this.

However, looking at Nangong Ce's anxious and worried look, Chu Heng seemed to smile and said:

"The right prime minister's loyalty is really gratifying to me, as the prime minister of the current dynasty still cares about the border barbarians, it is really commendable!"

"It's a pity that Youcheng's words don't look like seeking merit for his son, but more like avoiding trouble......"

Suddenly he was distracted, Nangong Ce's eyes widened, and an old face could not hide his astonishment.

I'm just an ordinary person.,If you don't know the inside story, it's basically impossible to be aware of your own thoughts.。

But today, His Majesty has sniffed out his own meaning with just a few words......

Is this still the emperor who has been greedy for the harem all day long, ignores the government and politics, and is submissive to the Yan family since he ascended the throne?

"You don't have to panic, although I am a little cowardly, I am not blind, and I have been watching you for all these years."

Chu Heng's sudden smile made Nangong Ce subconsciously calm the shock in his heart, but subconsciously he still looked a little incredulous about His Majesty's hasty change.

In order to make sure that the emperor in front of him had really changed, Nangong Ce immediately asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, there is a Kunpeng in my Dayan Palace, who has been grounded here for three years, wearing colorful feathers and not shouting, does Your Majesty know what he is waiting for?"

This kind of temptation is like child's play to Chu Heng, and he replied indifferently:

"He is waiting for a gust of east wind, and if he doesn't fly, he will fly 90,000 miles; If you don't make a sound, the world will be shocked by Kyushu! ”

Chu Heng's voice was not generous, but it smashed into Nangong Ce's heart like a heavy hammer!

Three years after the new emperor ascended the throne, the Nangong family almost dried up the blood of the Nangong family in order to repay the favor of the first emperor for his promotion, and even more to protect Chu Heng's throne!

His two sons died in this party struggle because of the battle with Yan Xu!

Without a son, he even married his beloved daughter to the harem, just so that Chu Heng could smoothly govern!

Nangong Ce almost gave everything for the power of the Great Yan Emperor, but in exchange for the rumors of the abolition of the queen from the palace.

has been diligent in the court for more than ten years, how could Nangong Ce not know that once it is abolished, the Nangong family will inevitably usher in the liquidation of the Yan family.

Although he claims to be a loyal minister of Dayan, he is also a father after all.

In order to let his only remaining son escape, he entered the palace overnight to ask to see Chu Heng.

It was also a conversation tonight that Nangong Ce realized that his three years of hard work were not useless!

"Right Cheng...... Guozhang, please don't cry. ”

Chu Heng's throat was blocked, and his face was full of solemnity: "Guozhang is hard!" If it weren't for the blood shed for me in the past three years, I am afraid that I would have become a marionette in Yan Xu's hands! ”

Seeing that his hard work was finally understood, Nangong Ce also burst into tears and said: "The minister is not bitter, His Majesty is the real hard-working person in three years!" ”

"I knew that Your Majesty could have such a heart, even if the old minister and Yan Xu fought for a jade stone, it would be as good as a glutton!"

"The prince is so loyal to the country, I am very relieved!"

Chu Heng is not a fool, he forcibly occupied Yan Ruoxi tonight, and then molested Yan Ruoxi, these actions are tantamount to declaring war on the Yan family.

In recent years, the imperial power has been damaged too much, and there is no power to stalemate with Yan Xu at the moment.

Therefore, the progress of overthrowing Yan Xu's party must be in full swing!

"Nangong Youcheng, today I have been awakened by the incident of the barbarian attack you mentioned, and since you have decided to bring down Yan Xu, you must first start the military power in his hands!"

Nangong Ce was both surprised by Chu Heng's eagerness and surprise at his spicy gaze, and immediately nodded.

"Since Your Majesty is so anxious, then tomorrow morning, the old ministers will do their best to join hands with Your Majesty and first cut off the military power in the hands of the Yan Party!"

However, Chu Heng's surprise to him was not the only one, and what he said in the next second made the old man instantly shocked:

"It is difficult for me to hold the reduced military power in my hands for a while, and it is necessary to have a belonging......"

"In that case, why don't you let Ling Lang take over the soldiers and horses in the hands of Yan Dang first?"
