Chapter 1536 About Winter

The tenacity of the defenders was surprising, but so was the speed with which they collapsed.

Just over an hour after the guard Du Que died, the situation in the city has calmed down.

"Your Majesty, Suo Yun died in battle!"

The emperor was startled, then sighed, "Go and see."

Suo Yun was lying naked on the ground at the moment, and Lan Jian was wiping his body.

He wiped it so carefully that he didn't even notice that the emperor was coming.

The emperor bent down, and Lan Jian noticed it, and stood up to salute.

The emperor stretched out his hand, pressed it on Suo Yun's forehead, and said, "You go down first and wait, when I come, our monarchs and ministers will continue to work underground!"

This is the best evaluation of Suo Yun.

It is also the best compliment.

Lan Jian knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

"Don't worry, I will take care of his wife and children!"

The emperor will not chill loyal ministers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lan Jian continued to wipe. While wiping, he said, "Don't worry, brother. From now on, I will fight with His Majesty. When your sons grow up, I will teach them to kill..."

The emperor has entered the city.

The old thief brought Jiang Qin to see him.

"Jiang Qin!"

The emperor smiled and said, "I'm very happy if you can anyway."

"I didn't know the heights of heaven and earth in the past. If my brother hadn't persuaded me, I would have made a big mistake. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jiang Qin had seen the false emperor, and when he saw the emperor, he couldn't help but compare the two.

One is calm and confident, and the other is full of calculations.One is not angry and majestic, and the other looks gloomy and frightening.

When the old thief arrived with them earlier, he could clearly feel the pressure the defenders were under.Even without them, Jiang Qin judged that Fangzhou would not be able to hold on for long.

Once Fangzhou is lost, where else can the navy go.Either surrender, or die.

Naturally, Jiang Qin would not sacrifice his life for the false emperor, but at that time his surrender was much worse.

So, he was really scared.

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty is vast, but you only saw the land, but not the wider sea." The emperor happened to pass on his ideas to his courtiers.

"The sea is choppy, but there are times of calm. There are countless skilled craftsmen in Datang, and they will definitely be able to build ships that can sail smoothly in the sea."

The emperor looked very excited, even more energetic than breaking through Fangzhou.

"There are countless fish in the sea, and there are countless lands overseas, with countless grasslands, mines, and fertile land. To be honest, I am jealous."

The emperor thought of another world. If that world could go to sea earlier, even if it was just immigrants, hundreds of years later, those immigrants would blossom and bear fruit. Even if they became enemies of the Central Plains, they would still be of the same clan!

Whoever wins is the victory of the Central Plains.

"If we don't occupy those places, foreign races will occupy them. So, turn around and the navy must hurry up."

The emperor said with unfinished thought: "Jiang Qin will go to the navy!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Qin was overjoyed, and Xie En resigned.

"What does Guanzhu Jiang want for this great achievement?" the emperor asked Jiang Min.

Jiang Min Jishou, "Poverty only asks brothers to get out of the wrong way, and nothing else."

"Where's the mountain gate?" The emperor was in a good mood. "Shu is very mountainous. I've seen it all the way, and it's quite beautiful. Do you have a fancy?"

This is a reward.

Ning Yayun glanced at Jiang Min, thinking that this person would become a force not to be underestimated outside of Shu in the future.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Min smiled and said, "A calm heart, there are mountain gates everywhere. A place with beautiful mountains and clear waters is also a busy city in the world. Why do you bother to do this?"

This person is also somewhat interesting.

Jiang Min resigned.

Then the ministers withdrew.

The emperor, Yang Lue, and Han Ze were in the lobby.

The emperor said: "Jiang Min's ability to go down the mountain means that his six sense organs are not clean, but at this moment he refuses to accept my reward..."

"Your Majesty, his brother will serve His Majesty in the future. If he doesn't want any reward from His Majesty at this moment, His Majesty will naturally transfer those benefits to his brother Jiang Qin." Yang Lue said.

"That's right!" said the emperor, "Ordinary people would fight against Yingtian and turn against each other for the sake of some interests. But there are also some people who are willing to give up their own interests for the sake of brotherhood."

Jie Long came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I just learned that it was Suo Yun who hugged Du Que desperately, and Lan Jian just stabbed him casually."

Most of the credit should go to Suo Yun.

The emperor was silent for a moment, "Lan Jian killed Du Que!"

The emperor spoke, this is the conclusion.

"Yes!"

Jielong continued to report, "In Chang'an, Liu Qing and others are still the same, and there is nothing wrong with assisting the prince."

"Where's the East Palace?" the emperor asked.

"In the East Palace. Zhang Qiang, the prince's servant, attends the prince every day, so that the prince should be cautious in his words and deeds."

"understood."

Jie Long resigned.

After going out, I heard the emperor chuckle inside.

"Last time, it was Zhang Qiang who persuaded A Liang to pray for me every day, and advised A Liang to talk less and listen to Liu Qing and others more. He even told me to report every detail to me. Yang Lue, what do you say? Say, what is this person thinking?"

"This person is a master of knowledge, and there is nothing wrong with persuading the prince to be cautious..."

"Yang Lue!" The emperor frowned, "You know, I'm not suspicious of the prince. And this attitude has already been shown to the outside world."

"But there are always people who are worried." Yang Lue said: "The late emperor talked too much back then."

"Only you dare to say that." The emperor shook his head, "The prince's cautious words and deeds are the beginning of his estrangement from me. I did not suspect the prince, but the prince is estranged from me. Do you think this is normal?"

"Sir, don't dare to speak nonsense."

"What are you afraid of?" The emperor became more and more dissatisfied, "Are you worried that I will suspect you?"

Yang slightly smiled bitterly.

"You were the one who brought me to the south. In my eyes, you are like a family member. Others dare not tell about my family affairs. Why don't you?"

The emperor wanted to force Yang Lue to express his opinion... Qin Ze shivered.

Yang Lue sighed: "The status of the minister...somewhat inappropriate."

The outside world knows that it was Yang Lue who took away the emperor back then, and he was the one who guarded the emperor until he was ten years old, and he taught the emperor's civil and military skills.

No one would say that Yang Lue was half the emperor's father.

In this way, the attitude of the officials in the court towards Yang Lue is naturally different.

With such a great god standing by the emperor's side, even Liu Qing and others have to be afraid.

"Liu Qing and the others are worried that they will be replaced by you, but I never thought of having you as my prime minister." The emperor said: "Let my closest person be my prime minister, in fact, this is not fulfillment, but destruction."

Yang Lue nodded, "Your Majesty can see this clearly, so I can rest assured."

"Tell me!" the emperor urged, picking up a copy of the memorial on the case table.

"As long as the hero is in power, the first prince will not end well." Yang Lue made Han Ze's eyelids twitch wildly.

"The same is true of the Tang Dynasty. When the false emperor came, the power of the Tang Dynasty declined, and it seemed to be overthrown. His Majesty destroyed the Northern Liao Dynasty, went south to wipe out Shi Ni, and then broke the Southern Zhou Dynasty... Speaking of it, this has nothing to do with the founding emperor. It's different. In the eyes of many people, His Majesty is the hero... None of the princes of the hero can die well."

Every hero is extremely sensitive to power.Whoever threatened his power, even his wife and children, would be wiped out without hesitation.

"You don't like me either?" The emperor smiled.

"Chen, I just don't like human nature."

Only Yang Lue dared to say this.

Human nature cannot withstand temptation.

"Power is the sweetest food in the world, but whoever is in it, how many people can resist the temptation?" Yang Lue said.

"It seems that there are not many people who have confidence in me!"

……

Changan.

"Your Majesty has broken through Yangling Pass!"

In the court hall, the officials who received the good news were overjoyed.

"Once the Yangling Pass is breached, how long can Fangzhou stop the army? From Fangzhou to Yizhou, there is a flat plain, which is where the cavalry can be used."

Song Zhen said happily, "The overall situation is settled!"

"The false emperor is probably going to tremble." Luo Cai couldn't hide his excitement.

Liu Qing coughed dryly, and everyone looked at the prince.

The prince said: "After the army went out, there were people everywhere. Although I don't worry about it, it would be good if some troubles can be avoided. Let people quickly spread the news of the victory to all places. When those people hear the good news, they will definitely die down. "

"Your Highness is wise!" Liu Qing praised.

Afterwards, they dispersed.

The crown prince was surrounded by people and walked in the palace. Zhang Qiang, the crown prince who also participated in the court meeting today, followed up, "Your Highness."

"What's the matter?" The prince turned around.

Zhang Qiang said: "When Liu Xiang praised His Highness for his wisdom, His Highness should have been more humble."

The prince looked at him, "The courtiers have to be humble when they praise Gu, but if they praise Gu again, they have to apologize?"

The prince suddenly became sharper, which made Zhang Qiang feel a little uncomfortable, "Your Highness, after all..."

"After all what?" The prince said coldly: "If you are careful about this, then be careful, why bother to supervise the country? Besides, you are waiting to assist Gu, not just to advise, you should also pay attention to the affairs of the court, for Gu Advice. Do you have any suggestions for Taifu Zhang regarding today's matter?"

Uh!
Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment.

The prince walked away.

He went to the queen.

"How is today?" The emperor went out to fight, and the empress was in charge of the harem, so nothing happened.

"Fortunately, Aye captured Yangling Pass, and the follow-up will be smooth." The prince sat down, and the queen's voice made people get refreshments.

Fugui rushed in, Ah Liang waved, and when it came over, he hugged it.

"So, how soon will you be back, Aye?"

"Probably...in winter!"

……

Then Ah Liang took his two pets to accompany Li Laoer for a while, and then went to the East Palace.

Others live on the side of the emperor and empress, but at the moment of supervising the country, many things have to be dealt with in the East Palace.

"Your Highness!"

Luo Songlai reported, "Zhang Sheren complained earlier, saying that His Highness doesn't respect veterans very much, and some want to resign."

This is a threat.

If the officials of the Eastern Palace resign, there will be various speculations from the outside world.

Zhang Qiang is not yet old enough to retire, why did he resign on his own initiative?
It must be the prince who can't help.

Therefore, Luo Song was a little anxious, "Your Highness, do you want to summon Zhang Sheren to appease you?"

"How can a servant be involved in politics?"

A Liang's eyes turned cold suddenly, Luo Song's heart trembled, and he knelt down, "Damn it, slave!"

"Ten punishments with the rod, next time if you commit another crime, you will be kicked out of the East Palace!"

Immediately, the maids in the palace felt awe-inspiring.

But what about Zhang Sheren?

Ah Liang picked up a memorial and said:

"Resign? That's fine!"
