Du Ziping only felt that his brain was in a trance for a while, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to be learning Taoism with a Taoist priest surnamed Shi, and he gave him an elixir, and after he took it, he didn't know anything. But he always felt that something was not quite right, as if something important had been forgotten, but he couldn't remember it anyway.

After more than ten days, he was in good health and began to deal with the government affairs, and he couldn't remember the previous cultivation at all. As soon as he first went to court, he encountered a major event.

"When the emperor was there, Lu Wan, the daughter of Prime Minister Lu Xiang, had a gentle temperament and good manners, so she intended to be the crown princess. Now Your Majesty is in the prime of life, please be the lord of the harem ......", Du Ziping read this imperial history Song Ziwan's recital, and thought to himself, even the affairs of my harem, these people have to interfere?

Although he has never had a good impression of Lu Xiang, he also knows that the stability of the emperor's throne still depends on this person. After that, he dealt with some government affairs and retired from the court.

Fifteen years have passed, he not only married Lu Wan, but also gave birth to a son and a daughter, the girl was called Qing'er, named Princess Anyang, and the boy was named Du Ming, and became the prince. That Lu Wan is indeed as famous as her person, she is extremely gentle, she knows the general situation, and her appearance is even more beautiful, and no one in the harem has any of the seventy-two concubines. Even if it is Lu Xiang's daughter, Du Ziping can't find any fault.

In the past 15 years, he has handled the government handy, rectified the rule of officials, governed water conservancy, encouraged agriculture, and selected famous generals to guard the frontier, and the national strength has been thriving, which is a rare prosperous era since the founding of the Jade Dragon Empire. It's just that his psychology has gradually undergone other changes.

For him, the territory of the Jade Dragon Empire is still too small, and he wants to include the entire Yunxiao Continent in the territory of the Jade Dragon Empire, creating an unprecedented cause!

Speaking of which, the Yunxiao Continent was originally composed of more than 100 countries, and later the Jade Dragon Empire destroyed dozens of countries and established the largest country in the entire continent, and after a few decades, Baiyue and Dongqiang rose and divided the entire continent into three kingdoms. Although Baiyue and Dongqiang are far inferior to the Jade Dragon Empire, after joining forces, their national strength is above that of the Jade Dragon Empire.

Du Ziping knew in his heart that if he used swords and soldiers without permission, the ministers would definitely oppose it. First of all, Lu Xiang can't pass this level. In the past fifteen years, Lu Xiang's power has been slowly weakened by him, but he has been sitting firmly in the phase for more than 30 years, and his prestige is extremely high.

But Du Ziping is not in a hurry, he is only thirty-five years old now, and his health is excellent, while Lu Xiang is more than seventy years old, and he will retire in another year or two. It's just that the change in the situation is unexpected.

On this day, he looked at the folds in his hands in the palace and was silent, it turned out that there was a mess in the Dongqiang Kingdom. In the territory of Dongqiang, there is a foreign race named Roulan. Although this Roulan name has a soft character in it, it is extremely brave and good at fighting, and has always lived in the three southern provinces of Dongqiang State.

Each of these three provinces, Roulan, had a leader, and they all wanted to annex the other two provinces, and were used by the Eastern Qiang State to divide and rule. For more than 100 years, it has not posed any threat to the Eastern Qiang State. It was only later that a talented figure appeared in Roulan, named Huerhe.

For more than ten years, Huerhe actually annexed three provinces and established the country independently. Dongqiang woke up like a dream and sent troops to quell the rebellion, but he was repeatedly defeated, but Roulan was sparsely populated and the national strength was insufficient, so he could not swallow Dongqiang.

Huerhe actually sent people to secretly send envoys to the Jade Dragon Empire, hoping to destroy Dongqiang together. For Du Ziping, this is really a pie in the sky, but he estimates that the Jade Dragon Empire has been peaceful for a long time, and most of the ministers are against it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he had a plan in his heart, picked three folds and brought them on his body, and went back to the queen to rest. When Lu Wan saw Du Ziping coming back, she seemed to be depressed, knowing that it was a matter of government affairs, so she didn't ask much, arranged food and drink, and prepared to rest. However, when Du Ziping was bathing and changing, the three folds were revealed.

Lu Wan didn't want to read it, but when she saw a copy of the fold with Ding Yun's name on it, she couldn't help but think a little. This Ding Yun is Lu Xiang's protégé, and the official is the governor of a province.

She thought to herself: Could it be that something happened to Ding Yun, but don't involve her father, so she opened it and looked at it. It turned out that someone reported that Ding Yun bullied the good and corrupted all things. The more she looked at it, the more shocked she became, so she opened the other two ways, one was that Li Hong, the brother of Li Cheng, the head of Lu Xiang's mansion, borrowed the power of his brother to collude with the government in other places to make a fortune, and the other was to point directly at Lu Xiang, saying that he had lived in the phase for more than 30 years and had power all over the world, and he was afraid that it would not be the blessing of the society.

Lu Wan watched the third recital, and was extremely angry in her heart. However, she thought about it again, Lu Xiang is old, and his subordinates are uneven, it is inevitable that something will happen, if someone takes the opportunity to sow discord, I am afraid that it may not end well.

She looked at Zeng Han again, and she was shocked in her heart, this Zeng Han is the person of Shouwang Du Zimo, and some people in the clan can't get used to Lu Xiang.

After Du Ziping finished bathing and changing, Lu Wan asked directly: "Your Majesty, these three parts, the concubine has already seen them." I think my father is old, so let's let him quit. ”

Du Ziping was secretly happy in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "How can this work? Even if Ding Yun and Li Hong are guilty, it is enough to deal with these two people." As for Zeng Han, this kind of nonsense, the villain who picks up discord, will dismiss his official tomorrow. ”

Lu Wan shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, my father is over seventy years old, so you can let him retire with peace of mind." If he is still in phase and deals with Ding Yun and other matters, it will inevitably hurt his face. ”

Du Ziping refused to allow it again and again, but he finally did not resist Lu Wan. Lu Wan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion that night, and she didn't know what the father and daughter said.

The next day, Lu Xiang went to court, and he made a comeback, claiming that he was old and frail, and he wanted to return to his hometown. Du Ziping kept it again and again, but he still agreed.

Du Ziping then issued three more edicts, the first was to recall Ding Yun and send people to investigate his crimes; the second was to investigate Li Hong's collusion with the government; and the third was to remove Zeng Han from his official position, also known as Zeng Han's way of entrusting King Shou, and King Shou to manage his subordinates.

He took advantage of Zeng Han's incident to squeeze the power of the Queen Mother and King Shou out of the court, but in Pingyang Province in the northwest region as the fief of King Shou, he rushed over, and took advantage of the case of Ding Yun to replace a group of new officials, the new prime minister is named Yanping, but he was born as a military general.

Next, he formed an alliance with Roulan and sent troops to Dongqiang. The Eastern Qiang Kingdom began to suffer heavy losses, but immediately allied with Baiyue. The Baiyue Kingdom also knew the truth of cold lips and teeth, so he raised a large army. Although the Jade Dragon Empire was stationed on the frontier, it couldn't resist it, and actually occupied two provinces in a row, and Pingyang, the fief of King Shou, also accounted for most of it.

When Wen Ruyu learned about it, she couldn't help but be furious. Originally, King Shou was sealed to Pingyang, although she did not want the mother and son to be separated, but this was also Du Zimo's place to avoid trouble, and Pingyang was very rich, she thought that Du Ziping still cared about brotherhood. At this point, she saw clearly that Du Ziping had already made a clear plan. This Baiyue is located in the northwest of the Jade Dragon Empire, and Du Zimo is the first to bear the brunt of the war.

She went straight to Du Ziping, and when Du Ziping saw it, she didn't wait for Wen Ruyu to speak, so she said: "Queen Mother, King Shou has been operating in the northwest for many years, although the northwest border army has been defeated, there is still the strength of a battle, although King Shou is trapped, but for a while, Baiyue can't help him." I will immediately send a large army to conquer the west, one is to restore my territory, and the other is to rescue King Shou. ”

Du Ziping then issued an edict and sent troops west to resist Baiyue. Wen Ruyu saw it, although she doubted whether Du Ziping tried her best, but she was helpless.

The interior of the Eastern Qiang Kingdom has long been decayed and vulnerable. However, after more than a year, it was destroyed by the Jade Dragon Empire and Roulan. Du Ziping saw that Roulan's morale was high and knew that he could not be defeated in a battle, so he drew the border and collected his troops.

The war in the northwest has been tug-of-war, and Pingyang was finally occupied by Baiyue, and King Shou was martyred. Wen Ruyu's hair turned white overnight, and she was sick in bed, but after a few months, she returned to the West. Du Ziping raised the whole country's troops again and marched westward again. It's just that he was quite worried about Roulan in his heart, so he used Huairou's right strategy, and ordered Du Qing'er, the princess of Anyang, to marry Huerhe.

That night, Queen Lu Wan, who had been gentle and considerate for more than ten years, finally became angry. I saw that her face sank like water, and she said to Du Ziping: "Your Majesty, Nahuerhe is two years older than you, and Roulan is not yet civilized. Why are you willing to marry Qing'er?"

Du Ziping sighed: "Born in the emperor's family, there is no way to do it, otherwise the two sides of the Jade Dragon Empire will fight, and the outcome will be unpredictable, and when the time comes, the people of the whole world will have to be displaced." ”

"The people of the whole world, it's rare that Your Majesty still remembers that you designed to force my father back in order to start a war with Dongqiang, do you think of the people of the whole world at that time?" Lu Wan said coldly.

Du Ziping looked at this cold gaze, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

"Your Majesty, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask my son and daughter to live happily, for the first time in so many years, I beg you, take back the edict," Lu Wan finished speaking, and two lines of tears flowed.

"Father, I won't let my sister go," Prince Du Ming said.

Du Ziping looked at it and sighed: "Ming'er, remember, you will also climb this son in the future, there is no way to do it." ”

"Then I don't want this position," Du Ming said categorically.

Du Ziping shook his head and walked out.

Baiyue's national strength is flourishing, which is beyond the reach of Dongqiang. But under the crushing of the Jade Dragon Empire's huge chariot, it was defeated after all. After nearly a decade of fighting, the Jade Dragon Empire finally annexed Baiyue. During this period, Huerhe had intended to raise troops, but he died of illness, Huerhe's son Mo He ascended the throne and married Du Qing'er, but it was difficult to control Huerhe's proud soldiers and fierce generals, and for a while, Roulan fell into turmoil again.

Speaking of which, Huerhe's death is also related to Du Ziping. On the same day, Du Qing got married, and also brought a palace maid Yuchan, this Yuchan is charming and moving, trained by Du Ziping, scheming is quite deep, and later ordered to poison Huerhe to death.

After ten years of war, the Jade Dragon Empire weakened its national strength and frequent civil strife, Du Ziping suppressed it with an iron fist, and at the same time planned to send troops to Roulan, but at this time it was collectively opposed by the ministers, but where was Du Ziping willing to listen? He actually punished two important ministers one after another, which suppressed the opposition.
