During this period, Chang Geng lived a very smooth life. First, he perfectly solved the matter of Jiangbei, and achieved all the set goals. He concluded slowly. On the way back, Gu Yun was accompanied by his side. Except for the days when he was young, Daliang had been in a mess and was in chaos. Gu Yun rarely had the opportunity to be with him for so long. He walked along the way, and he felt the illusion that he would live forever. He could not feel the silence and coldness of the autumn and early winter.

Chang Geng was once extremely uneasy and was cautious about everything around him. A clue could alarm him. Although he was nervous all day long, he was indeed completely indifferent and rarely made mistakes. At this time, he was trapped in the gentle village for many days. After Gu Yun's words, he realized that he had been a little lost.

Chang Geng stabilized his mind and silently recalled the scene when Li Feng summoned him to the palace for a moment, and felt a different meaning - now the Lord of Nine Five is in a place full of medicine. The heavy palace and the silent palace servants all seemed so dull, and the room was filled with a bitter taste of being about to go down. Li Feng was in his prime and was not really old. Seeing through the mortal world, what would he feel?

Some people will give in disheartenedly when they realize that they are powerless, but Li Feng will never be that kind of person. If he gives in so easily, he would not have angrily crossed the crowd when the Beidaying mutiny, nor would he get on the Red-headed Booth when the troops are at the city.

Gu Yun was indeed mentioning him. When Chang Geng shuddered, a little cold sweat oozed out of the back of his neck, and his face calmed down with excitement.

Gu Yun knew he had listened to it. This man was too smart. Sometimes a word was enough. Without further ado, he reached out and touched Chang Geng's head.

Chang Geng grabbed his hand and pulled it down. Gu Yun waited leisurely to listen to his self-reflection. He thought at least he would have to say "What should I do without you?", but Chang Geng held him for a while, and not only did he not reflect, he also said unreasonably: "It's all your fault, which made me dizzy."

Gu Yun: "..."

Less than half a day after arriving in the capital, he had already played the role of "pervert" and "fakes" in two parts, which was really busy.

His Highness Yan was so shy and introverted when he was young. Why did His Highness become less shameful as he grew older?

Gu Yun shook away Chang Geng, who was becoming more and more distant from him, and picked up the wine pot hanging on the side. Chang Geng jumped up with a well-trained and reached out to grab it: "It's such a cold day, you are not allowed to drink cold wine!"

Gu Yun raised his hand and threw the wine pot from his left hand to his right hand, and gently grabbed it. The empty left hand happened to grab Chang Geng who had hit him in his arms. He quickly pinched his chin and kissed him. Before Chang Geng could react and fight back, he turned around and put on his coat and smiled, "I want to go to Beidaying. You can go to bed by yourself at night. Read the sutra twice before going to bed to avoid being confused again."

Chang Geng: "…"

What I promised on the way!

The dignified Marquis of Anding actually broke his promise and became fat!

Although Gu Yun was teasing him, there was something wrong. He should have stayed in Beidaying directly, but because he was really worried about Chang Geng, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion first and waited for him to come back for a meal. The situation in the palace was probably clear, so he left home and rushed to Beidaying. Beidaying not only commanded the external defenses of the capital, but also sent emergency military information to the capital. The Northern Barbarian envoys came suddenly, and Gu Yun felt uneasy. He was worried about the family affairs and began to worry about the state affairs.

It was already late in autumn in the capital. As soon as I went out, the smell of deep winter that could not be suppressed had already emerged and was filled with gloomy face. The little cold wind in the night had taken its sharp shape. Gu Yun still had a habit of many years when he went out - wearing only a single dress.

But on that day, Gu Yun had already gotten on the horse and had not yet left the house. Suddenly, he felt that the wind in the pass was a little bit harsh. He sighed secretly, turned back, hung the cold wine pot in the stable, and told Huo Dan to bring him a cloak to put on, and then he hurriedly left.

Although Gu Yun was struggling by the mob rebellion in Jiangbei and the thieves in the capital forcing the palace, his contact with Cai Yan in the northern border was not interrupted. If Jiangnan was already a tragic situation where "the remnants were crying in the dust", he would not have to think about it and know what was going on in the northern border.

The blood feud between the barbarians and the Central Plains may have to wait for a long time to pass, and all these two or three generations of people will die before they can be relieved.

Gu Yun had just arrived at Beidaying and sat down before he even had time to drink saliva. Cai Yan's letter happened to come.

The letter was very simple, but there was a lot of information in a few words - the two armies had confronted each other for so long, and they had scouts and spies from each other. The people lurking in the enemy's camp came to report that in the spring, Calais seemed to have been seriously ill, and he had never been seen before.

What's even more strange is that his eldest son was not seen all day long under the name of filial piety, and his business was temporarily replaced by Calais' second son.

Calais had three sons, all of whom were born by one woman. He imitated the Han system and regarded the eldest son as the prince. His father was seriously ill and it was not unusual for his son to show his filial piety. However, the prince was filial and did not care about his serious work and asked his younger brother to do it for him. Is this appropriate?

According to this description, what happened to the barbarians seemed to be about to emerge. The second son, who was capable of both talent, was unwilling to live because he was born a few years later and relied on his brothers to put him under house arrest in some way, and usurped the throne and seized power.

The current commander of Beidaying said: "Master, in addition to those thirteen items, the Eighteen Tribes also agreed to send Calais's youngest son as hostages, and give us a reassurance for the next peace talks. Just now, General Cai heard from him that the little man's car frame was about to enter the pass, and he handed the document to Jingcheng, waiting for the court to approve it. Finally, the general was planning to send someone to the Marquis's mansion, and you were here."

As he said that, he handed Gu Yun another note.

The Northern Barbarians involved border military affairs. Before delivering to the Military Office, the commander who held the Black Iron Tiger Talisman could first take a look. The comment handed over by the barbarian was indeed very sincere, and he carefully described who the third prince and the entourage of the car driver were.

The third prince was only fifteen years old, and it is said that he was a weak and sickly half-aged child. He accompanied him with one envoy and translator, ten young men and women, and ten guards escorted. He escorted him with twelve names and names. He wrote clearly the years and positions of the slaves clearly. He strictly followed the customs clearance procedures of Daliang. Gu Yun looked at it three times from beginning to end, but did not see any of the rules.

Shen Yi held his arms and said, "It seems real. The ambitious second prince imprisoned his father and brother, and even drove his brother to kill him as hostages. He is so dominant of the Eighteen Tribes."

"What are the benefits of dominating the Eighteen Tribes?" Gu Yun threw the letter aside. He sat by the camp stove for a long time, but he didn't feel warm. At this time, he still intentionally or unintentionally approached the heat source and rubbed it gently, "If you are defeated this time, the barbarians will not be able to fight back. They have no food or drink outside the pass every year, and they will dig a little purple gold and have to pay tribute. Even the daughter of the Goddess and the Wolf King can't keep it."

The barbarians and the Han people in the Central Plains had a feud between them. A few dynasties ago, the nomadic peoples in the north had the custom of going south to fight the autumn wind. There was a fierce battle with all the people in the north, and there was a backbone of famous generals in the south. Both sides had been stalemate between plundering and fighting back. No one had truly conquered anyone for a hundred years - until Daliang took the lead in developing steam technology.

People today can only get a glimpse of the situation in those years from historical materials. It was the golden age of the Long-armed Master. The Central Plains, with thousands of miles of fertile land, was like a awakened giant beast, layered with light fur, heavy armor, giant kites, flying eagles... Steam is like a tide, iron golems are rampant in the capital, and the range of long and short cannons is almost changing with each passing day.

At the beginning, when shipping, the beams of the steel armor that jointly developed the lighter were once despised by the uncivilized barbarians as "the southerner who focused on luxury and sidelines". The Northern Wolf King trusted his minions too much and arrogantly missed the opportunity. He failed to sit on the thick clouds of purple and gold soared into the sky. Later, he was cleaned up by the people of the Central Plains and had no power to turn over for decades. Zi Liujin was forced to offer sacrifices in the territory, and he was unable to catch up with his own steel armor technology. His equipment has been supported by Westerners.

This bloody lesson from the past is impossible for the Eighteen Tribes to ignore. It is impossible for them to watch Daliang factories everywhere, and the palm-order method is lifted, and the second round of lighter steel armor technology is about to set off a peak period - if Daliang is allowed to survive the cold winter and recover slowly, the northern barbarians may really have no room for survival.

"I don't dare to say how the Second Prince is," said Gu Yun. "But I understand Calais. That old guy would rather die than sit and wait for death, not to mention just sending a son. Even if he sends a father, we have to keep a hand-to-get my seal."

During this stay, more than ten beacon orders were issued from Beidaying, and the level was the same as when foreigners came to Dagu Port. The entire northwest to the capital was all sent more troops as if they were facing the enemy. Lingshu Courtyard sent a group of people to the Northern Defense Army station to inspect the situation of the lighter steel armor and ready for a battle at any time.

Daliang entered winter as the storm was coming, and a new year was about to enter, but the court was very peaceful.

King Yan held the military office in his hand, almost the center of the vortex. His return made everyone secretly pay attention to it, but King Yan was beyond everyone's expectations.

He did not start the subsequent reforms as Fang Qin thought, as he came back, but instead "cooked a little fresh".

After returning to Beijing, King Yan changed his previous state of being busy. He first stayed at home for half a month before appearing quietly at the Military Affairs Office. He didn't say much at the meeting between big and big courts, as if he had become the invisible man before the war. He usually handled some daily affairs in the Military Affairs Office. He should write the summary and send it to the palace to the palace. He should do the work carefully and rigorously and does not make people gossip, not considered passive and slack work. Apart from this, he should not worry about any unnecessary things.

Anyway, just judging from the quantity and quality of the complaints Li Feng received in the palace, it has basically no effect on whether Yan Wang comes back or not.

Previously, there were no signs of Yanwang among the people in the Military Affairs Office every night. He came to visit during the day and left at night. He rested on time on time. He didn't see guests at all. He also built a small garden in the suburbs of Beijing. When Gu Yun was soaking in Beidaying and not going home, he walked over to plant flowers and tease birds. In less than half a month, he trained the starling who was suffering from plague from the Shen family, with a sweet mouth and praised him when he saw people... His tail was bald, and his feathers made his servants thorn a shuttlecock and sent it to the little prince to play.

Li Feng's legs were almost rubbed and walked. After ordering the memorial every day, he could walk around the room with the help of the eunuch. This day, he accidentally remembered that he came to the Prince's study room. The prince was very well-behaved and never cheated on his studies. Li Feng did not disturb him. He stood at the back door for a while, but his eyes were attracted by a small decoration on the prince's desk.

I saw that it was not an ordinary clay embryo, but a metal rack with fine steam at the rear. There was an exquisite small carriage on the metal tracks on both sides. The body was a Western clock, running back and forth around the tracks. A small flower pot was clustered in the middle, and the pot was still empty. You could see the air holes specially left at the bottom. Maybe the prince hadn't figured out what to plant.

Li Feng walked over slowly and picked it up and looked carefully. The prince was shocked and quickly got up to greet him in a regular manner. He secretly glanced at his father, fearing that he would be "lost in a playful manner".

Li Feng was probably in a good mood and didn't see any anger. He just asked, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has increased its revenue and reduced expenditure. Haven't they not allowed them to enter these luxurious toys in the past few years? Where did it come from?"

The prince did not dare to show his temper and replied carefully: "Brother, this was not bought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but by the Fourth Emperor's uncle to his son minister."

Li Feng frowned slightly: "One day I haven't seen Amin, so he's busy making these things?"

The eunuch stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, did you ask for a garden with you last time? Recently, he has not been busy with official business, so he built a greenhouse in the garden, cultivated some rare flowers and plants, and studied many various pots with Ge Lingshu. Now it is almost the Chinese New Year, and every family is willing to set flowers. Your Highness's fresh bonsai is hard to find - you see, there is water in this little carriage, and it will water it regularly every day. If the light is good, it will run like this a few laps, and there will be a small rainbow where the water droplets pass."

The prince whispered beside him: "Uncle the emperor said that all he bought were ordinary grass seeds and flower seeds, which were collected from the countryside for a penny. After buying them, they were put in a pot but cut them in shape, so that they would fool the rich people with art and elegance."

Li Feng: "It's not so irrelevant! Last time I asked him to assist the prince more, just to teach him how to play with flowers and birds, was he going to fool people?"

As soon as he lowered his face, the prince became scared and stood aside in a cold state.

Li Feng put down the flower pot heavily and asked with a stern face: "I asked you to learn the way of governing the country with King Yan. What did he teach you? Let's hear it."

The prince glanced at him quickly, feeling scared, but he did not dare to neglect his words, and replied in a delicate voice: "Return... Return to the father, the fourth emperor, the uncle teaches his sons, governing a great country does not require one to work day and night, and to do his best. The most important thing is to use everything and use people as much as possible. Laws and systems are the basis for the superiors to govern. As long as a complete system and laws are established, let all civil and military officials perform their duties, and the source of the national treasury is stable, uh..."

Li Feng's eyebrows and eyes eased a little. When he heard his son's mouth stuttering, he couldn't help asking: "How is it?"

The prince gritted his teeth and said, "...you can be lazy and scattered once and for all."

Li Feng: “…”

The little prince pursed his lips vigorously, for fear that his father would be furious after hearing these rebellious bastards. However, after waiting for a long time, the expected scolding and punishment did not fall on him. He raised his head tremblingly and looked at Li Feng, but saw the emperor who was talking nonsense and looked calm. He thought for a long time before sighing: "He is right, Amin can see through more than I do."

The prince looked at him inexplicably, and always felt that his father was in a good mood that day.

Some of the 255 in the court thought that the King of Yan was silent because Yang Ronggui lost his holy heart and did not dare to do anything. He was relieved to write down the King of Yan and listed several crimes. Emperor Longan, who rarely appeared at the dynasty meeting, had a stir in court, and his intention of protecting him was beyond words.

Not only that, the next day, the iron rooster-like emperor made an exception to approve the Ministry of Internal Affairs to a higher expense. He became a sucker for a high price and bought a bunch of exquisite and novel metal bonsai from Yanwang's garden to send it to the palaces. Li Feng paid out of his own pocket to give his younger brother a small meal.

The Feng Shui of the Military Affairs Office is ununderstood for a while.

The impeachment memorandum prepared by Fang Qin and others was revised and written. It was the Chinese New Year that there was no chance to deliver it upwards, which made Fang Qin unconsciously wonder - Could it be that someone in the world was ordered to leave after being ordered and had no ambitions?
