Shengjing is the Shenyang of later generations.

In a mansion, the Thirteenth Prince, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in the main seat, listening quietly to the story of the people on both sides.

More than a year has passed in a flash. The Thirteenth Prince is a little different from that time. Compared to when he was a prince in Beijing, he now has a strong face, his sharpness has been restrained, and his demeanor seems extremely calm.

There were three people sitting in the lower head, naturally the first in the left hand was General Song Zhu, General Shengjing, the first in the right hand was General Azalan, and the other was the royal family member Yongqian.

Songzhu will not talk about him for the time being. After the Thirteenth Prince arrived in Shengjing, he was the first person to surrender to the Thirteenth Prince. This is naturally related to his identity. As Prince Yong's slave, the Thirteenth Prince is also his master. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty has moved westward and does not care about Liaodong at all. With the Thirteenth Prince's status, Songzhu quickly stood on the Thirteenth Prince's side after weighing the pros and cons.

As for the general of the state of Supplement, Azaran was the second brother of Prince Jian Yaer Jiang A. In March of the 41st year of Kangxi, he was appointed as the first-class guard and was granted the third-class general of the state of Supplement. In the 46th year, Azaran was discharged from his post due to physical reasons and then returned to Liaodong to cultivate.

Azalan knew Prince Thirteen when she was the first guard. Because they were similar in age, had similar tempers, and had a very good relationship, they were considered good friends. Unfortunately, Azalan later went to work and returned to Liaodong, and the two sides interrupted their contact until the Prince Thirteenth met again after coming to Shengjing.

The Thirteenth Prince knew about Azalan. Although Azalan's health was not as strong as his father and his health was not very good on weekdays, he was a very talented person, especially very knowledgeable about military affairs. Otherwise, Kangxi would not have directly awarded him the position of first-class guard.

If Azalan was not because of his physical burden back then, his background and ability would have been very useful. Unfortunately, Azalan suffered a serious illness in the 46th year of Kangxi, and had no choice but to take the initiative to recuperate. It is precisely for this reason that in the past few years after returning to Liaodong, Azalan's health has recovered a lot. He originally wanted to return to Beijing to find a job again, but who would have expected that the world would change a lot.

The Thirteenth Prince attaches great importance to Azalan. After obtaining the military power of Shengjing, the Thirteenth Prince found Azalan privately and invited him to come out to plan for him. Azalan quickly agreed to this, because of the friendship that year, and secondly because the Qing Dynasty is now setting, and as a royal family, he cannot stand by. Thirdly, it can be said that the most important thing is that the Thirteenth Prince gave him an irresistible promise.

When talking about this promise, we must mention Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo. As the **** of the Qing Dynasty, Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo can be said to have a honorable status and has great power outside the pass.

Unfortunately, Prince Zhuang Bo Guoduo is old this year, but has no offspring. Once he dies, Prince Zhuang's position will inevitably fall into his family. If it were in the past, who would inherit Prince Zhuang's title would definitely be decided by the emperor. But now the Qing Dynasty is far away in Xi'an and there is no way to take care of Liaodong at all. Where can Emperor Jianxing be this master?

So the Thirteenth Prince promised Azalan directly that he would support Azalan to obtain the position of Prince Zhuang by then. This temptation is great for Azalan.

The royal family member Yongqian and Azalan are very close. In terms of their identities, Azalan is actually Yongqian's uncle, and Yongqian is the third son of Prince Jian Yaerjiang A.

It is said to be the third son, but in fact, the third son is no different from the eldest son, because one of his two older brothers died at the age of thirteen, while the other died at the age of nine. So from the ranking of brothers, although he is the third son, he is the eldest son of Yaerjiang A.

Yongqian is the youngest among the few people, only seventeen years old this year, but he is stout and has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He can flare his arms and can also drive a five-stone hard bow, and has excellent riding and shooting skills.

Yongqian's ambition is to drive away from the battlefield like his ancestors to make achievements. In the eyes of the Thirteenth Prince, although Yongqian, who is very brave, is a very good general, not to mention that Yongqian has a good relationship with Azalan. When he is employed, whether for the sake of great achievements or to win over Prince Jian's lineage, the Thirteenth Prince will not use Yongqian.

Now Song Zhu is talking about the matter between the General Heilongjiang and General Jilin (General Ningguta). The current General Heilongjiang is Tuoliu, and General Jilin is Meng Oluo. These two generals surrendered to him when the Thirteenth Prince received support from Shengjing. Therefore, from outside the Northeast Pass, the Thirteenth Prince has completely obtained all the support of the three generals' mansions.

"The body bones of Tuoliu are not very good now. He often stayed in bed since last winter. It is said that he sometimes coughed up blood. Now it is better after spring, but the doctor asked him to continue to be bed-living." Song Zhu sighed, shaking his head as he said: "He is not old, why is it like this? Some time ago, someone asked to bring a letter to the slave, saying that he might not be able to last long, so he asked the slave to tell his master and ask his master to make arrangements early."

The Thirteenth Prince knew about this, but he didn't expect that the person who was tempted to be so seriously ill. Originally, the Thirteenth Prince planned to let Toru and Meng Erluo come to Shengjing after the beginning of spring, but now he will definitely not be able to come to this kind of tempted.

Fortunately, Meng Yuluo was already on the way, and it would not take long to reach Shengjing. However, Tuoliu did have to prepare in advance. As the three generals outside the pass, except Shengjing, Tuoliu's troops were second only to Songzhu. In addition, its vast territory and location were very important. It directly controlled the Heilongjiang River Basin and even eastern Mongolia. It was a rear area outside the pass, and there was no loss at all.

Once he is seriously ill and cannot be in charge of the director, or even dies, the Black Dragon General's Mansion will be without a leader. If there are different people in his mind, the Thirteenth Prince will be the same, then he will lose this important territory. The Thirteenth Prince is absolutely unwilling to see this result, so he immediately began to ponder.

"How did Qiqihar arrange the tuition in the place of Tuolu now?" After thinking for a while, the Thirteenth Prince asked.

"I am still a tutor to the pathology director, but you know that this is not a long-term event. Besides, the tutor to Liu did not let the slave tell anyone who could be replaced. According to the tutor’s guess, it is probably the intention of tutoring Liu to let the master arrange it."

Nodded slightly, the Thirteenth Prince said he understood. Toliu did this to show his loyalty, and at the same time, he also used this method to remind the Thirteenth Prince that his subordinates would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility or that they could not trust them completely, otherwise he would not have been like this.
