Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1467: Mu Zhuohua is shocked, Emperor Liang has passed away

Mu Zhuohua!
The person Jiang Chen met at the door of the study was none other than Mu Zhuohua.

Mu Zhuohua in "The Brilliant Romance".

Jiang Chen was very surprised to see Mu Zhuohua.

Because this study is in the inner courtyard, Mu Zhuohua should not be here.

"Jiang... Young Master Jiang..." Mu Zhuohua was also surprised when he saw Jiang Chen, but he immediately reacted and bowed.

"Get up." Jiang Chen raised his hand to support him.

After Mu Zhuohua got up, Jiang Chen asked, "Miss Mu, why are you here?"

"I, I came here to read a book." Mu Zhuohua explained.

The Jiang family has two study rooms, an outer study room and an inner study room.

The outer study is where the Jiang family summons the shopkeepers and managers. Mu Zhuohua worked in the outer study before. The inner study is the study room used by the Jiang family and has various books.

Most of these books are from Nanchen, and a small number are from other continents and other worlds.

Mu Zhuohua was allowed to enter the inner study only after getting approval from Ruolan and others.

"The examination is in February? How are your preparations going?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Still in the final preparations." Mu Zhuohua replied.

"What don't you understand?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Ah..." Mu Zhuohua looked at Jiang Chen.

"I am very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, Classics, History, Philosophy and Anthology." Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "I guarantee that I am better than the doctors in the Imperial Academy."

"Really?" Mu Zhuohua's eyes lit up.

"Let's discuss it together?" Jiang Chen asked.

Mu Zhuohua did not refuse.

"Let's go to the study." Jiang Chen said.

"it is good."

Mu Zhuohua followed Jiang Chen into the study.

After arriving at the study, Jiang Chen and Mu Zhuohua began to discuss.

Mu Zhuohua was originally skeptical about Jiang Chen's talent.

But after talking with Jiang Chen, Mu Zhuohua realized that Jiang Chen was extremely talented.

Unknowingly, two hours passed.

"Ms. Mu, it's almost time for today." Jiang Chen said.

"So fast?" Mu Zhuohua never felt that time passed so quickly.

"Miss Mu, we will leave Dingjing tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. How are you?" Jiang Chen looked at Mu Zhuohua and asked.

"Mr. Jiang, I will stay in Dingjing for the New Year." Mu Zhuohua said.

"it is good."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "You can enter the inner study room these days."

"Ah?" Mu Zhuohua looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

"I'll arrange someone to give you the key." Jiang Chen said.

"Really?" Mu Zhuohua asked.

"Yes, I want you to win the top prize. As long as you win the top prize, I will give you an opportunity." Jiang Chen said.

"Opportunity?" Mu Zhuohua was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"What opportunity?" Mu Zhuohua asked.

"I guarantee that you will have the opportunity to become a female prime minister." Jiang Chen said meaningfully.

"Really?" Mu Zhuohua's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Jiang first." Mu Zhuohua bowed.

The next day, Jiang Chen took Ruolan and others and left Nanchen Dingjing.

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to take Liu Roujia with him, but Liu Roujia was the eldest princess and it was not easy for her to leave during the New Year. Jiang Chen had no choice but to give up.

……

Sky Continent, Great Qin Empire, Bianjing City.

"happy New Year to all."

Jiang Chen raised his glass and spoke to the girls.

During this year's Chinese New Year, Xu Miaoyun, Xu Yeyue and Shen Bijun from the Ming Continent were also brought here by Jiang Chen.

"Happy New Year."

The women raised their glasses.

This year, the Jiang family prepared imperial cuisine for the New Year.

The imperial court meals are the meals enjoyed by the emperor and his family.

The Jiang family has experienced several worlds and is very familiar with the imperial court cuisine.

Palace-style dishes are mainly represented by several ancient capitals, and are divided into southern and northern styles. The southern style is represented by Jinling, Yidu, Linnan, and Yingdu, while the northern style is represented by Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Beijing, and Shenyang. Their common characteristics are luxury and rarity, and the side dishes have certain specifications.

The “Eight Delicacies” (dragon liver, phoenix marrow, leopard fetus, carp tail, roasted ape lips, bear paws, and crispy cicadas) mentioned in the Book of Rites have been in use for more than two thousand years.

The Eight Land and Water Delicacies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were said to be "purple camel peaks emerging from green cauldrons, white scales floating on crystal plates". They included not only land products but also aquatic products. The later Eight Delicacies of Yibei and Eight Delicacies of Tianchu were dominated by game.

In the second world, on the Qing mainland, there are eight delicacies from the mountains, eight delicacies from the sea, eight delicacies from the upper reaches, and eight delicacies from the lower reaches.

Therefore, for this year's New Year, the Jiang family combined various royal court meals. In addition, the ingredients were spiritual materials, and some were monsters brought from the fourth world. It can be said that everyone was very happy to eat.

As for New Year's gifts.

This time, whether it was Shi Yi and others, or the maids, stewards, and guards, they all obtained low-grade and medium-grade spirit stones, as well as elixirs.

It was the first time for Xu Miaoyun, Xu Yeyue and others to attend the Jiang family's New Year's Eve and they were very curious about everything.

However, seeing Jiang Chen with so many women, Xu Miaoyun and Xu Yeyue remained silent.

In the evening, Jiang Chen came to Shi Yi's room.

"Congratulations, husband. There are more and more family members, and the Jiang family is becoming stronger and stronger." Shi Yi looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

"Yes, the family is getting bigger and bigger." Jiang Chen was very emotional.

"I see you are happy." Shi Yi glared at Jiang Chen.

"Why shouldn't I be happy?" Jiang Chen hugged Shi Yi and said, "After all, I am the beneficiary. If I am not happy, wouldn't it be too hypocritical?"

"Aren't you hypocritical?" Shi Yi asked back.

"Okay, how dare you say that?" Jiang Chen fiercely picked up Shi Yi by the waist.

"What do you want to do?" Shi Yi asked.

"What do you think?" Jiang Chen and Shi Yi went to the couch.

"How should I know?" Shi Yi put his arms around Jiang Chen's neck and expressed his thoughts to him.

Well, Shi Yi knew that it was impossible for her to change Jiang Chen's mind. In addition, she had awakened her memories of her past life (the memories in "Zhou Sheng Ru Gu", mentioned earlier), so she did not have much resistance to this situation deep in her mind.

In her previous life, those men treated their ladies with respect.

But she and Jiang Chen do not treat each other with respect.

"Then I'll let you know." Jiang Chen began to act.

The first place I visited during the Chinese New Year was Shiyi because it was my last name in the queue.

……

Because of the New Year, the daughters of the Jiang family stayed in Bian Jing for several days.

Most of the girls in the Jiang family had never been to Bianjing City, so they were very curious about the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace in Bianjing is almost identical to the Imperial Palace in Kaifeng Prefecture in the central continent of the second world.

Although the palace was a little small for Jiang Chen, it was not small for the women.

But it is also true that the imperial palace in Bianjing City is the same as the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty in history.

At the peak of the Song Dynasty, the imperial palace supported more than 6,000 palace maids and more than 2,000 eunuchs. So now there is not only enough room for so many people, but also a lot of empty houses.

Jiang Chen had nothing to do during this period. He just visited the Daxing Dynasty, Daye Dynasty, Daliang Dynasty, Sui Kingdom in Sui and Tang Continent, and other places where he was needed to appear in his alias. The rest of the time he was with the women in the Bianjing Palace in Tianqiong Continent.

It is also thanks to the existence of Xiaoyao Tianjue, otherwise, Jiang Chen would really feel the pressure.

Of course, during this period, if he has time, Jiang Chen will leave the palace and go on private visits.

On this day, Jiang Chen came to Qianfan Mansion on a secret visit.

Well, that’s where Li Fuhui lives now.

After learning that something had happened to the Fan family, the bewildered Li Fuhui did not go to Luoyang the next day, but instead sent a letter to the Li family.

So even though it is the New Year now, Li Fuhui still lives in Qianfan Mansion.

As the owner of the house, you always have to send some warmth during festivals.

So, as early as before the Chinese New Year, Jiang Chen came to give some gifts and visit.

After a few interactions, Jiang Chen and Li Fuhui became familiar with each other.

Although compared with Jiang Chen, Li Fuhui is younger.

But for Jiang Chen, as long as he doesn't reach the minimum age limit, everything else is fine.

"Miss Li." Seeing Li Fuhui, Jiang Chen smiled gently. "Mr. Jiang." Li Fuhui only knew Jiang Chen's name, and nothing else. However, in this unfamiliar Bianjing City, although Guan Yuqing allowed her to stay in the former Fan Mansion, Jiang Chen's concern made her feel indescribable.

"Ms. Li, these are the pastries I brought. I hope you like them." Jiang Chen handed over the pastries in his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Li Fuhui took the pastry after a moment's hesitation.

The first time before, she refused, but after listening to Jiang Chen's words, she still accepted Jiang Chen's gift, so now she doesn't have the previous resistance.

Jiang Chen found a topic to chat with Li Fuhui.

Li Fuhui comes from an average family and has average knowledge, so Jiang Chen can easily control her.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Chen asked, "Miss Li, do you want to stay in Bianjing City?"

"Stay in Bianjing City?" Li Fuhui was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, if you want to stay in Bianjing City, I can help you." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

"This one……"

"Haha, Miss Li, you don't have to reply to me now. It's not too late to think about it after your family's letter arrives." In his previous life, Jiang Chen also wanted the Li family to come to Bianjing City, so that he could also sign in in Bianjing City.

However, if Li Fuhui really wanted to return to Luoyang, he would have no choice but to find another way.

Of course, if you really like Li Fuhui, it would be easy to win her over.

Li Fuhui didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking, so she didn't refuse after hearing what Jiang Chen said.

She didn't have many ideas now, so Jiang Chen's words seemed to her to be the best choice.

"Ms. Li, are you feeling cold?" Jiang Chen asked after seeing Li Fuhui shiver.

"without……"

As soon as Li Fuhui said a word, Jiang Chen held her hand.

I immediately noticed that Li Fuhui's hands were cold.

"So cold?" Jiang Chen took off his cloak and put it on Li Fuhui.

"Mr. Jiang, you..." Li Fuhui looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

Although the customs of this era were not as restrictive as those in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiang Chen's behavior was too rude.

"It's so cold today. It would be bad if you catch a cold." Jiang Chen said with concern.

"But, but..." Li Fuhui still felt that Jiang Chen was too rude.

"It's okay. No one else will know about this, and I just care about you." Jiang Chen comforted her softly.

With Jiang Chen's care, although Li Fuhui felt that something was wrong, she slowly accepted it.

However, knowing that too much is as bad as too little, Jiang Chen did not stay long. He left after chatting with Li Fuhui for a while.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Chen returned to the palace.

"Xuezhi, are you out?" Jiang Chen walked over when he saw Chong Xuezhi.

Before, after the Chinese New Year, Chong Xuezhi entered the training tower to practice in seclusion, and the time flow rate was ten times faster.

"Yeah." Chong Xuezhi said happily: "This training tower is really great, it's safe and saves time."

"Are you so happy?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"How can I not be happy? One day outside is equivalent to ten days inside." Chong Xuezhi said.

"Actually, I still think that this time multiplier is a little low. I wonder if the training tower can open a higher time multiplier in the future." Jiang Chen said.

"Is there a higher time multiplier?" Chong Xuezhi was very surprised.

"Well, you also know that our Jiang family can travel through several worlds. The fourth world has the highest level of strength, and it is normal for those strong people to practice in seclusion for decades. And with the training tower, we can save a lot of time." Jiang Chen said.

"Is the fourth world really so magical?" Chong Xuezhi looked at Jiang Chen curiously.

"You'll know when you go there later." Jiang Chen said.

"The fourth world..." Chong Xuezhi was somewhat expectant and somewhat hesitant.

"Don't worry, this is not the first time we come and go. It's not unsafe." Jiang Chen knew that people who experienced this for the first time would be very confused, and there was nothing he could do except comfort them.

"Yeah." Chong Xuezhi nodded.

"Xuezhi, you have been in seclusion for such a long time, it's time for you to take a bath. Coincidentally, I just came back from outside, so let's go together." Jiang Chen said.

"..." Chong Xuezhi said.

"Let's go." Jiang Chen pulled Chong Xuezhi and left.

Chong Xuezhi did not refuse.

……

Central Continent, Daliang Dynasty, Jinling City.

"Emperor Liang finally passed away?"

Jiang Chen did not expect that Emperor Liang would pass away just after the Chinese New Year.

However, the death of Emperor Liang also meant that Jiang Chen's alias, Prince of Huai Xiao Jingli, would ascend the throne and become emperor of the Daliang Dynasty.

Jiang Chen was no stranger to ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

After Emperor Liang passed away, Jiang Chen directly arranged to ascend the throne.

Meng Qianxue, Mu Nihuang and others were also mobilized by Jiang Chen.

Although most of the Daliang Dynasty was now under the control of Jiang Chen, the Changlin Army was still out of control. In addition, the Xiao royal family was still watching him secretly, so Jiang Chen also had more than half a month to spare.

Three days later, Jiang Chen ascended the throne as Xiao Jingli.

After ascending the throne, Jiang Chen began to carry out drastic reforms.

Long before he ascended the throne, Jiang Chen had already reformed the court of the Daliang Dynasty as Xiao Jingli. However, after he ascended the throne, Jiang Chen's actions became even more ambitious.

Of course, there was dissatisfaction among the people in the court with Jiang Chen's reforms.

In response, Jiang Chen used ruthless means.

With the secret help of Xiao Yu's Daliang Secret Palace, Xia Dong's Xuan Jing Si, and the Jiang family's Jinyiwei, Jiang Chen carried out a purge of the Daliang court.

At the same time, Jiang Chen appointed Meng Qianxue as the queen, and Su Huairou and Mu Nihuang as imperial concubines.

Under Jiang Chen's secret plan, Meng Qianxue, Su Huairou, and Mu Nihuang also began to help Jiang Chen handle government affairs, with Xiao Yu and Xia Dong assisting outside.

For this reason, many people in the Daliang Dynasty were dissatisfied.

Jiang Chen didn't care about this.

He has already spent a lot of time in the Daliang Dynasty, so naturally he would not involve himself in political affairs.

"His Majesty."

Su Huairou handed a piece of information to Jiang Chen: "This is the information from Dayu."

"Dayu?"

Jiang Chen opened the information and read it.

After reading the information, Jiang Chen handed it to Meng Qianxue next to him.

After reading it, Meng Qianxue handed it to Mu Nihuang.

After a while.

Jiang Chen asked: "What do you think?"

This intelligence is about the various forces within Dayu.

Many film and television dramas have been integrated into Dayu, and this intelligence includes many forces from the dramas.

"According to this intelligence, Dayu may mobilize troops." Meng Qianxue said.

"If Dayu wants to mobilize troops, it will inevitably form an alliance with Northern Yan. And if Dayu and Northern Yan form an alliance and bring Khitan into the picture, it will cause considerable pressure whether it is marching west to Northern Wei or marching south to Daliang," said Mu Nihuang.

"Then can't we take the initiative?" Su Huairou said.

"Strike first?" Meng Qianxue's heart moved, and she said, "I think it's okay."

"The Changlin Army is now at the border of Dayu. We may be able to use this opportunity to take down the Changlin Army." Xia Dong said beside him.

Hearing Xia Dong's words, Mu Nihuang suddenly thought of the Red Flame Army.

The original Chiyan Army is the same as the current Changlin Army.

According to the plan of Emperor Liang and Xuan Jingsi, the Chiyan Army was destroyed.

"The Changlin Army has 200,000 soldiers, which is enough to resist Dayu. However, this is not enough if we want to control the Changlin Army." Jiang Chen said.

Ten years ago, there were only 50,000 imperial guards and 10,000 patrol troops in Daliang and Jinling. Now there are 100,000 imperial guards, 10,000 patrol troops, and 70,000 royal guards in Daliang and Jinling, a total of 180,000.

Although there were 20,000 Jiang family troops among them, facing the 200,000 Changlin troops, even with the Mu family troops added, the pressure was still huge.

"What does my husband want to do?" Mu Nihuang asked.

"We will first send the Changlin Army to the north to attack Dayu. When the Changlin Army suffers casualties, we will send out the Royal Guards. We will take advantage of the opportunity of the northern expedition to Dayu to take control of the military power of the Changlin Army." Jiang Chen directly stated his plan.

Jiang Chen never thought of killing all the Changlin troops.

Behind the 200,000-strong Changlin Army are more than one million people.

These are the Jiang family’s labor force and also customers for dumping their products.

"Prince Changlin is quite capable. It is not easy to seize military power from him." Meng Qianxue said.

"As long as Prince Changlin doesn't want to rebel, we have a chance." Jiang Chen said.

"Too."

Meng Qianxue and others reacted.

Prince Changlin is a member of the royal family of Daliang. It is impossible for him to disobey the order except by rebelling.

"There are only a few hundred thousand soldiers in Jinling City now. If the Royal Guards are transferred away, there will only be 100,000 soldiers in Jinling City (originally 110,000, but a lot of them were lost in the Northern Expedition to Southern Qi. Although a lot of reinforcements were made, there are only 100,000 left in total). Southern Qi might..." At this point, Su Huairou suddenly realized: "My husband wants to lure the snake out of its hole and let Southern Qi send troops?"

Jiang Chen did not deny it and said, "Yes, although Xiao Yu defeated Southern Qi and negotiated with Southern Qi before, it was far from enough. Although Jinling City only has 100,000 soldiers and horses, it is enough to fight against Southern Qi. If we can lure the snake out of its hole and defeat Southern Qi, maybe we will have the military funds for the Northern Expedition to Dayu."
