Later that day, Yang Peng summoned the remaining cabinet ministers and told them about the plans of the Japanese and his plans.

Tang Shidian said: "If you dare to offend Tianwei, you must be severely punished!" However, now is not a good time to send troops. Our army has just experienced a protracted war, the consumption is huge, the soldiers are tired and need to rest, and the newly occupied land still needs to be consolidated! Therefore, the minister thought that the Japanese people must be punished, but not now, and should wait for the spring and summer of the next year, when our army has recovered its vitality and the newly occupied land has been consolidated, before we can send troops to fight! ”

Han Bing said: "Although this battle was protracted, our army's losses were minimal. As for the consumption, although it is huge, the capture is even greater, not only does it not cause any burden to the empire, but also brings endless benefits to the empire. ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "As for the consolidation of the new territory, due to the rapid implementation of our Ming policy, almost all the local ordinary people are now on our side, although there are still some unwilling people who resist, but they can't set off any storms." So there's no need to worry about that at all. ”

Ya Yu Guanyin said: "Lord Tang is worried that our army is tired and needs to rest, and this is not a problem. If our army is crusading against the Japanese people, it will never be possible to mobilize the army in the southwest, so there will be no such thing as being too tired and affecting the performance of combat effectiveness. ”

Tang Shidian frowned, although he wanted to refute in his heart, he couldn't find the words to refute. After all, Tang Shidian was an out-and-out scholar, and although his thinking was already very enlightened, the morbid idea of peace in Confucianism still influenced him to some extent. Tang Shidian's opposition to sending troops to crusade against the Japanese state now is not so much because there is any reason, but because he subconsciously feels that foreign wars are not good in his heart.

Ye Yu Guanyin said to Yang Peng: "What needs to be considered now is only the problem of the Liao State. If we want to send troops to fight against the Japanese state, then we must transfer troops from the north, so that the security of the north can be guaranteed? ”

Yang Peng said: "There is no need to worry about this. In addition, according to reliable intelligence, the Liao army and the Western Liao army have already had friction with the crusaders in the West, and the situation is very tense, and they will never dare to quarrel with us again at this time. As mentioned above, the crusaders led by the Holy Roman Empire invaded the Seljuk Empire, and the Seljuk Empire was in danger, so Khorezm saw an opportunity to attack the Seljuk Empire from the east, trying to get a piece of the pie, but the praying mantis caught the cicada and the yellow finch behind, and soon after the Khorezm army entered the Seljuk Empire, the Liao army and the Western Liao army suddenly attacked Khorezm from the east. Khorezm was caught off guard, and the ice disintegrated in an instant.

Immediately, the Liao State and the Western Liao divided Khorezm, and at this time, the crusaders led by the Holy Roman Empire completely destroyed the Seljuk Empire, and Chen soldiers were on the border of Khorezm. The confrontation between the three armies inevitably led to many frictional incidents. The Khitan army and the Western Liao army saw that the crusaders were huge in scale and strong in battle, and did not dare to attack rashly; On the Crusader side, seeing that the Khitan army and the Western Liao army were elite and good at fighting, they were far from being able to compare with the Arab army, and they were already very tired from the continuous battle, so they did not dare to take the initiative to provoke. Each of the three parties had their own scruples, so although the patrols of the three sides clashed from time to time, the three sides still tried their best to restrain themselves. However, although the great war did not break out, all three sides increased their vigilance, and at the same time, the domestic troops were dispatched, and the material resources were constantly being transported, and the situation was like a volcano, although it had not yet erupted, it was becoming more and more tense.

Yang Peng continued: "And I don't plan to mobilize a large army. This time, only the main force of the naval army and 30,000 land forces are enough. After the start of the war, the military government army in the coastal area began to mobilize, and if necessary, it was enough to transfer the army and government army to support the war. ”

Everyone nodded, but Tang Shidian was still frowning.

Yang Peng motioned for the secret guards to hang out the map. The two guards immediately hung up the map of the eastern seas that they had prepared in advance. Yang Peng left his seat and walked to the map, and everyone stood behind Yang Peng.

Yang Peng pointed to the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom and said: "This battle will focus on one road and directly attack the Kyushu Island of the Wa Kingdom. The objective of the campaign is to capture the island. If the situation allows, the Kyoto raid of the Wajin will be told. I plan to attack at the beginning of spring next year. Everyone looked at the map and looked thoughtful.

Yang Peng turned around, glanced at everyone, and asked, "Do you have any questions?" Han Bing hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, let me lead the army in this battle!" "Yelu Guanyin and Yelu Hanyu also asked for battle.

Yang Peng said with a smile: "I want to fight this battle in person." ”

Tang Shidian immediately objected: "Your Majesty think twice!" On the sea, even if there is no enemy, it is extremely dangerous, how can Your Majesty's golden body easily take risks! Many ministers and Yang Peng's concubines also objected.

At this time, Yang Peng took out his majesty as an emperor and said in an unquestionable tone: "I have already decided on this matter, you don't need to say it again!" Everyone was greatly depressed, and Tang Shidian said: "Your Majesty insists on recruiting in person, and the cabinet will definitely not agree!" Yang Peng laughed and said: "You guy is really worrying!" Although the cabinet has great power, it can't control me in this matter! I am the supreme commander of the empire, and it is my power to command who to send as a general! Okay, let's stop fighting, the matter is settled! Everyone looked at each other and felt helpless.

After Yang Peng returned to the bookcase, he wrote an order to transfer troops, handed it to a secret guard, and ordered him to immediately hand it over to the military command department and send it to Yanjing. ……

At night, the palace is very lively, and Yang Peng's wife and children frolic by the lake.

As the night deepened, the palace gradually fell silent. The concubine and the princess had already rested, and only the Feifeng female guard on duty at night carried a lantern and patrolled back and forth in the harem.

A group of female guards came to the outside walls of Yan Ji's dormitory. The captain who was leading the team in front suddenly stopped and asked vigilantly; "Did you hear anything?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be vigilant, and they held their breath and listened. I heard a woman's charming voice coming from inside the wall: "Ah! Your Majesty, don't suck the concubines there! Yikes! ”

The voice was like a cry, and it was full of breath. The female guards couldn't help but be delicate and their hearts rippled. The captain came back to his senses and said anxiously: "What are you in a daze, go quickly!" Then he ran forward as if fleeing, and the women followed. ……

In Yan Ji's bedroom, a lingering love finally calmed down, but the room was still filled with a charming and touching atmosphere.

Yan Ji lay on her lover's chest, the whole person seemed to have lost her bones, her delicate face was flushed with a moving flush, and her red lips were full of delicate gasps. Yan Ji raised her head and said angrily: "Your Majesty, you actually treated your concubine like that!" Yang Peng recalled the feeling just now, and couldn't help but be fascinated. Touching Yan Ji's smooth brocade skin, he smiled evilly: "Wasn't you quite happy just now?" I said I would reward you during the day, but I didn't break my promise, did I? ”

Yan Ji's eyes were shining, and she was infinitely angry, "Hmph! Is it a reward for others to toss them like that? Then he laughed, gently stroked his lover's chest with his slender hand, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty has so much bad water in his stomach!" If this kind of thing is said, others will not believe it, the Ming Emperor of the world is actually such a bad guy! Yang Peng suddenly turned over and pressed Yan Ji under him, stroked the round and slender thighs, and said viciously: "How dare you say that your husband, you should be punished!" Seeing that Yan Ji under her was full of charm, she originally just wanted to scare her, but she couldn't control herself at this time.

Yan Ji felt her lover's impulse, her bewitching face showed a panicked look, she stretched out her hands and gently pushed her lover's chest, and said angrily: "The concubine's body is still very sore, you still have to come to toss the concubine!" ”

Yang Peng was already horny at this time, but he still reined in the precipice because he felt sorry for his wife. lowered his head and kissed Yan Ji's red lips fiercely, then rolled off her body and lay on the bed. Yan Ji's heart was filled with tenderness, and she fell back on her lover's chest, looking at her lover's face with beautiful eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal a happy look.

An incident suddenly came to mind, and the flush on Yan Ji's face quickly receded, replaced by a hesitant look.

Yang Peng noticed Yan Ji's demeanor, patted her waist gently, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" ”

Yan Ji didn't want to say it, but when she heard her lover's question, she felt that this matter really shouldn't be hidden, and said, "There is something that the concubine really doesn't know whether to say or not!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "What is this called, in front of my husband, there is nothing that should not be said!" ”

Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This matter was discovered by our Hua Xu by chance, and it was about An Qian. ”

Yang Peng was stunned, "Anqian? couldn't help frowning and asked, "Could it be that she is using her power for personal gain?" ”

Yan Ji shook her head, "No. yes, hey, I'll just get to the point. Your Majesty, my men stumbled upon Annsy her, and she seemed to have a secret correspondence with a scholar. ”

Yang Peng was shocked, "You, what do you mean?" What you mean by secret correspondence, is it, is it ......?"

Yan Ji nodded, "The specific situation is not clear. However, we found that there was a frequent correspondence between Anne and the scholar. The concubine felt that something was wrong, so she ordered her subordinates to secretly intercept a letter from the scholar, which was a love letter to Anqian. ”

Yang Peng only felt pain in his chest, and the whole person seemed to be unable to breathe. Immediately, boundless anger surged into his heart, but this anger quickly dissipated, Yang Peng felt that he had so many wives and concubines, and there were lovers outside, why should he blame Anqian? Immediately doubts came to his heart, he didn't believe that Anqian would cheat, and frowned: "I don't believe it!" Anne may not have the same affection for me as the others, but she should have no problem being loyal to me. I don't believe she's going to do anything to be sorry for me. ”

Yan Ji said: "I can't believe it either. It's just that this thing feels strange. Maybe the concubine was too worried. ”

Yang Peng couldn't let go, frowned and said, "I must figure out this matter!" ”

Yan Ji said: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing, it is naturally the best." But if it ......, how should this matter be handled? ”

Yang Peng understood what Yan Ji meant, and Yan Ji meant that he didn't have to go to the bottom of it, lest things really be the worst case and make him sad. Yang Peng shook his head and said, "No matter what the situation is, I have to face it." If there is nothing, that's for the best. But if ......, alas, I don't know what to do? He looked at Yan Ji and said, "You send a reliable person to investigate this matter, remember, you must keep it secret!" Yan Ji nodded.

……

Yang Peng came to Anqian's dormitory. When the palace maid saw it, she hurriedly paid a visit.

Yang Peng asked, "What about your mother?" A palace maid hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, Niangniang and Luo Niangniang went out of the palace early in the morning." ”

Yang Peng hummed and walked into the dormitory. Several palace maids followed. Yang Peng looked around and saw that the palace was delicate and warm, exuding a fragrant fragrance everywhere. If it was usual, Yang Peng would definitely think of the happy days with An Qian, but at this moment he was not in the mood at all.

Yang Peng walked to the bookcase. I saw that there was a lilac brocade hanging on the side of Anqian's changed dress, which was very beautiful even if it was hung there. Yang Peng thought that she might wear such a beautiful dress to meet her lover, and he couldn't help but feel a little crazy in his heart.

sat down in front of the bookcase, turned his head to look at the palace maids, his eyes fell on the palace maid in the lead, and said, "You stay, and the others retreat." The palace maids agreed, and the palace maid who was the leader stayed, while the others withdrew from the dormitory.

Yang Peng asked, "Has Ann Qian been happy lately?" ”

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Niangniang is very happy! The slave has never seen the mother so happy! ”

Yang Peng's heart ached, and he almost wanted to kill. Barely controlling his emotions, he smiled faintly: "Presumably because Ann Qian has recently met a new friend, right?" The palace maid looked dazed.

Yang Peng couldn't see the reason from the palace maid's expression, and turned to look at the bookcase. I saw a pen holder on the left, a few cleanly washed brushes hanging on the pen holder, and a stack of letterheads and manuscripts next to the pen stand; On the right is a pen washing inkstone and incense ink. In the middle of the bookcase is a pair of words that should have just been written: 'Why should a smile be a country, but it is called a reputation for future generations.' Yang Peng couldn't help but smile and muttered: "Anqian's ambition is not small!" Then he sighed.

Turning his head to the palace maid, he said, "You can go out too, I want to sit here alone." The palace maid answered and left.

When Yang Peng saw the palace maid leaving, he immediately stood up and rummaged through the pile of letterheads and manuscripts. I found a letter, picked it up and looked at it, only to see that it read: Out of its east gate, there is a woman like a cloud. Although it is like a cloud, I think about it. Silk clothes and scarves, chat about my members. Out of its humble beginnings, there are women in full swing. Although it is in full swing, I think about it. Dressed in clothes, chatting can be entertained.

Although Chen Xiao has not studied ancient poetry, he is no stranger to the poem in front of him. He knew that the poem in front of him was called "National Style, Zheng Feng, Out of the East Gate", which depicted a man's longing for a woman. It was obviously impossible for Anne to have done it, and the handwriting was completely different from Anne's. Yang Peng was originally skeptical about Anqian's derailment, but when he saw this poem at this moment, he no longer had any doubts, only felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest with a sharp blade.

……

Yang Peng paced back and forth in the study, since he heard about Anqian, he was in an irritable mood, and his chaotic thoughts came flooding in his mind, and he couldn't calm down to deal with anything at all.

Hurried footsteps were heard at the door. Yang Peng immediately stopped and looked towards the door, only to see Yan Ji running in quickly. hurriedly greeted him and asked urgently, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”

Yan Ji said: "My people found out that Anqian asked the scholar to meet at the official office of the Ministry of Investment tonight. ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "It's really a person who is about after dusk!" Damn it! He looked at Yan Ji and asked angrily, "Who is that bullshit scholar?" Yan Ji said: "That scholar's surname is Zhang, he is in his thirties, and he was a talent in the pre-Song Dynasty!" Yang Peng's eyes spewed a strong murderous aura, and he scolded: "I think this poor sour show is impatient!" ”

Yan Ji asked; "Do you want to arrest this person immediately?"

Yang Peng suppressed the urge to kill, frowned, and said, "This matter has not been clarified yet, don't touch him for the time being." ”

Yan Ji answered, and then asked, "How should we deal with tonight's affairs?" ”

Yang Peng only felt a pain in his chest, frowned, and said, "What the hell is going on, the truth will be revealed tonight." Then he gave an order to Yan Ji. Yan Ji clenched her fists and promised, and ran down.

Yang Peng walked to the door, looked up at the sky, frowned and muttered, "I hope nothing happens, don't fucking play me with you!" ”

Time passed in Yang Peng's anxious mood. When night fell, Yang Peng and Yan Ji came to the back alley of the Yamen of the Investment Department early, hidden in a gloomy. The streets in the distance are brightly lit and bustling, but the back alleys are dark and silent, as if they were another world.

"All the manpower is arranged." Yan Ji whispered beside Chen Xiao.

Time passed slowly, and before long, a figure appeared at the mouth of the alley and walked towards it. Yan Ji said softly: "Here, it's him." Yang Peng fixed his eyes, through the moonlight, although he couldn't see it very clearly, but he could roughly see that it was a handsome, very tall man, wearing scholarly clothes, walking from the alley, the moonlight covered his body, it can really be regarded as a jade tree in the wind, a beautiful son of the world! Yang Peng wanted to rush up and slaughter the bastard, but he forcibly endured it.

I saw that the scholar came to the back door of the government office and knocked lightly a few times. Soon the back door opened, and a female guard appeared in the doorway, and after saying a word to the scholar, let him in, and then closed the back door.

The scholar followed the female guard into the backyard of the government office, and the thought that his dream would soon come true could not help but tremble with excitement, and he only felt that he had worked so hard for so many days.

The female guard led the scholar to a walled passage, stopped, turned around, and said, "You wait here, I'll go and report to the mother." The scholar hurriedly bowed down and said, "There is Sister Lao!" The female guard smiled and turned away.

The scholar imagined in the passage that the two sides would meet soon after, thinking about how he should walk up to her in a graceful manner and say a few touching words. After thinking about it several times, he only felt invulnerable, and he was confident that even if a chaste martyr faced such an attack on him, she would definitely be unable to be emotional. The scholar couldn't help but smile proudly. Thinking of the beautiful place, I can't help but feel hot and impatient.

Looking up at the direction where the female guard had left, wondering why she had been gone for so long and not returned? Then I thought that the mother should be preparing something, right? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel itchy.

However, time kept passing, and the departed female guard never returned. The scholar couldn't help but get agitated, and walked in the direction where the female guard had left, wanting to see what was going on. However, when he walked to the exit of the sandwich passage, he found that the door to the exit was closed. Stretched out his hand and pushed, but it was locked, but he couldn't push it open at all.

The scholar couldn't help but feel bad in his heart, and pushed the door hard, but he still couldn't push it open. The scholar hurriedly ran towards the exit at the other end, ran to the door, stretched out his hand and pushed, only to hear a loud noise on the door, which was also not pushed open. The scholar looked at the door, and saw that the door was chained at some point, and a large lock was added.

The scholar was a little panicked, and turned around in the passage, the exits at both ends of the passage were all closed doors, but on both sides were walls as high as Zhang Yu, not to mention that he was just a scholar who was powerless, even Kong Wu might not be able to climb over these walls, he was locked in this passage! The scholar was terrified, and all kinds of ideas came to him, trying to convince himself that it was an accident, but all the signs in front of him clearly indicated that it could not be an accident. What's going on here? Why is the mother keeping me here? Did she blame me for being late? But I'm not too late, am I? What does she want to do?

The scholar couldn't think of a reason, and he was flustered and couldn't solve it. Time passed gradually, and before I knew it, it was late at night. The hustle and bustle of the street in the distance has been quieted a lot, the night wind is blowing, although it is not yet winter, but the cold wind in the middle of the night still has some biting chill, especially in this passage, the night wind blows from one end to the other, it is extremely cold, until the scholar shiveres with cold, his teeth chatter, his face is blue, and the whole person is shrunk into a ball.

The scholar was frightened, worried about whether he would be frozen to death. I wanted to call for help, but I didn't dare. Anqian was discussing things with Luo Yanran in the study of the government office, although it was already late at night, the two girls still had no intention of resting. Luo Yanran turned her head to look out the window, and saw the night wind rustling the treetops, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Sister, it's cold tonight, don't make something happen." ”

Anqian snorted, "The kind of thing that wants toads to eat swan meat should be taught a good lesson!" Luo Yanran smiled: "You also taught him too badly!" Anqian said: "It's not enough!" If this kind of man doesn't make him suffer once, there will always be women who will be deceived by him in the future! Luo Yanran nodded, and then said worriedly: "But you can't get a human life!" On such a cold day, those scholars are weak, and if they really let them blow the cold wind all night, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved! I think the punishment is enough, I can let him go! ”

Anqian was a little unhappy, but she didn't want to listen to Luo Yanran's words, and said depressedly: "Sister is kind-hearted!" Well, since my sister has spoken, my little sister will do it. Then he called the female guard and ordered, "Go and let the mouse go in the passage." Tell him, don't be delusional, next time it won't be so cheap for him! The female guard answered and ran down.

When the scholar was in a daze, he seemed to hear a knock from the door, and then several people seemed to come to him. Then I heard a woman's voice speak, and then I felt my body being lifted up. He couldn't figure out if what was in front of him was a dream or a real thing.

The female guard commanded the other two female guards to drag the scholar out the back door and throw him to the ground. The female guard mocked: "You kid really don't know how thick the sky is, and you actually want to get involved with your mother!" I really don't know whether to live or die! This time, the mother is magnanimous and spares your life, if you dare to give birth to non-centrific thoughts, you will not have much good luck! After saying this, the female guard led the two female guards under her command to turn around and enter the government office and close the door. The scholar finally realized that what was in front of him was not a dream, and stood up with difficulty against the wall. Recalling the experience just now and the words of the female guard, he naturally understood that he had been tricked by the imperial concubine, and endless hatred couldn't help but come to his heart. Staggered towards his house.

The female guard returned the favor to Anne, who nodded nonchalantly. In her mind, the scholar was nothing more than a mouse, and it was not worth bothering with at all. She continued to discuss the matter of the investment department with Luo Yanran.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
