Chen Guo
It was already the twelfth month of the fourth year of Dingyuan. In another month, it will enter the fifth year of Dingyuan.
This is the fifth year of Chen's reign, and it is also the most uneasy year.
In the past year, although the people of Chen State still lived and worked in peace and had no trouble in their lives, several major events actually happened to the court.
The two princes rebelled one after another, and when Zi was critically ill today, they almost completely overturned the situation in the court. Fortunately, there was still a magic needle in the capital. No matter how critical the situation was, it could calm down with his actions.
Right Prime Minister Tang Ning has been away from Beijing for half a year, and no one knows where he went, just as he quietly rushed to Guizhou a year ago.
That time, he silently calmed the chaos in Guizhou and eliminated a major hidden danger in Jiangnan for the State of Chen.
When Tang Ning was in Beijing, he was a wise minister in governing the country. Those corrupt officials and corrupt borers had nowhere to hide in his eyes.
When he was not in Beijing, he did something bigger and more valuable, pacifying the rebellion of Jiangnan, determining the situation in the northwest, and sank the rebellion in Qian... These things are all rewards that have been poured out by the sky.
His whereabouts are a mystery to the people and even to most officials in the court.
Over the past six months, many people have also speculated whether he has gone to the Western Regions.
After all, the four realms of Chen are now stable, and only the Western Regions are still extremely hidden dangers. Wherever the right prime minister came, he would go wherever he threatened Chen.
And in the past six months, the Western Regions have become more and more chaotic, which is the same as the style of right-minister Tang Ning doing things.
Although his name is Tang Ning, as long as he is, there will be no peace wherever he is
Imperial Palace, in the Imperial Garden
The snow had just passed by the capital a few days ago. The snow in the imperial garden had not melted, and there was still a hint of coldness in the air.
Emperor Chen followed Wei Jian and slowly paced in the imperial garden.
His face looked much better than half a year ago. Under the care of the imperial physician, although his body has not recovered yet, it has recovered to 60% or 70% of the previous appearance.
He wandered around the Imperial Garden for a quarter of an hour, and suddenly asked: How is the situation in the Western Regions?
In the past six months, due to physical reasons, he has stopped dealing with political affairs by himself, but he still pays special attention to some major events related to the national sports.
Wei Jian stopped and said respectfully: Go back to Your Majesty, the Western Regions have become even more chaotic in the past six months. Dayue and Wusun joined forces to gather 200,000 troops, as if they were going to get rid of Xiaowan. News came just a month ago that in order to fight against the horse thieves, those small countries formed another Western Regions allied state...
Emperor Chen didn't take the so-called allies in the Western Regions to heart because he knew that it was just a name. Those so-called countries were not even as good as a village in the State of Chen.
On the contrary, the news that Dayue and Wusun joined forces attracted his attention.
Emperor Chen thought for a moment and said: I just thought not long ago that if we could unite Dayue and Wusun, plus our 400,000 army of Chen State, destroy Xiaowan and take the head of the Lord of Xiaowan, wouldn’t it be like taking a piece of cake?
Wei Jian thought for a while and said: Go back to Your Majesty, the situation in the Western Regions is complex and the territory is extremely large. If our army goes deep into the Western Regions, the supply of food and grass will be a big problem. It is not good for us to fight in the Western Regions...
That's why I have to join forces with them. After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chen made a decision in his heart and ordered: Summon Wang Xiang and several Shangshu to enter the palace. This is a rare opportunity for us to have
After Wei Jian ordered, Emperor Chen remembered something and asked again: Did Tang Ning return to Beijing?
Whenever such a big thing happens, he subconsciously wants to discuss it with Tang Ning, but unfortunately he has been away from Beijing for half a year.
Wei Jian shook his head and said: Not yet. If Lord Tang returns to Beijing, he will definitely come to the palace to see His Majesty as soon as possible.
Emperor Chen snorted coldly and said: Don’t think I don’t understand him. He entered the palace to see me...
Wei Jian smiled embarrassedly, no longer interfered
This bastard boy, in the past six months, has not known where to go for a happy and romantic life... Chen Huang showed regret on his face and said: If he had known, he would have asked him to go to the Western Regions. He would be a messing stick. If he targeted anyone, he would be unlucky. If he went to Xiaowan and stirred up, maybe my Chen Kingdom would no longer have the big threat of Xiaowan...
The two of them wandered around the Imperial Garden for a while, and Emperor Chen was about to return to the bedroom.
At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly walked in and said: Your Majesty, Lord Lu, Minister of War, asked for a meeting, saying that there was something very important to see Your Majesty...
In the past six months, Emperor Chen has handed over the full power of government affairs to the Shangshu Province for treatment. He knew that his health was not a big deal, and officials would not disturb him.
Emperor Chen's brows rose slightly, and it would be no trivial if he could make the Minister of War Lu Ding enter the palace in a hurry.
He looked serious and said, "Let him come to the temple."
After a while, Lu Ding stepped into the temple of Shangshen and bowed and said: Please see Your Majesty!
Lu Aiqing was exempted from courtesy. Emperor Chen waved his hand and saw a hint of anxiety on his face. He couldn't help feeling a bad feeling in his heart and asked: What happened?
Lu Ding raised his head and said slowly: Your Majesty, a tip came from the front, Dayue, Wusun was defeated by Xiaowan, and has now surrendered to Xiaowan, Xiaowan, Xiaowan has unified the Western Regions...
Chen Huang's body shook, and his face suddenly turned pale
Now, Xiaowan, the Western Regions, is almost the only thorn in his heart. He originally planned to send troops to help Dayue and Wusun after this year.
Unexpectedly, the scene he least wanted to see happened
Xiaowan unifies the Western Regions, and what Chen State is going to face is that there will be no peace...
His face was extremely ugly and he whispered: Let me continue to hold the morning court tomorrow, and all the ministers must not be absent...
……
Chu State, Kyoto
The story of the Western Regions being unified by Xiaowan was spread to Chu State today
Although Xiaowan's unification of the Western Regions is also a great event, there is a Chen State between Chu State and Xiaowan. No matter how powerful Xiaowan is, it cannot threaten Chu State.
Unless they destroy the Chen State, of course, this is impossible. Although Xiaowan is powerful and can pose a great threat to the Chen State's border, if they force Chen State to force them, they can raise an army with a population of more than the Western Regions in a very short time. However, if they really want to fight Xiaowan in such a way, Chen State will have to pay an unimaginable price.
After all, Xiaowan is too far away from Chu State, so although this incident also caused trouble in the court, its impact was extremely limited.
For Chu State, the continuation of the royal family is much more important than Xiaowan's affairs.
The emperor of Chu State now has only one queen and only one princess under her knees. Although this princess's talents are not inferior to those of wise kings of all dynasties, she is a woman after all and cannot inherit the position of the emperor.
The queen can no longer have children, which is not a secret in the court, but the emperor cannot have a son. Although the emperor is in his prime, he will always have a day when he grows old. At that time, who should inherit the throne?
A minister once suggested that Your Majesty should take more concubines and give birth to more princes for the sake of the overall situation.
However, this suggestion was rejected by His Majesty in person. Not only that, he also specially rewarded several beautiful girls to marry these officials as concubines.
Even among these officials, several of them married wealthy girls and never took concubines in their lives, but the emperor's orders were hard to violate, so they could only follow the saint's orders.
Later, these officials had not been to court for several days. When they appeared in the court again, blood marks could be seen on their faces.
Since then, no one has mentioned this again
Your Majesty is unwilling to accept a concubine, so they can't force your Majesty. It would be a good idea to adopt a prince from the kings.
Changning Princess Mansion
Although Li Tianlan is a princess, she has taken over the government affairs several years ago. In recent years, she has made many political achievements. No one in the court dares to underestimate her because he is a woman.
At this time, in the study of the princess's mansion, she was sitting at the table with a seal of note on it.
The content on the secret note is very important. Xiaowan unified the Western Regions and greatly changed the pattern of the mainland. Although there is a Chen State between Chu State and Xiaowan, it cannot be completely ignored.
However, after reading the secret note with a expressionless face, the woman at the table completely threw it behind her mind.
Thinking of the three-year appointment with someone, it had been more than half a year. A hint of anger appeared on her cold face and she whispered: Don’t keep your promise!
Bang!
The pen in her hand was broken into two pieces because she held it too hard.
It was already the twelfth month of the fourth year of Dingyuan. In another month, it will enter the fifth year of Dingyuan.
This is the fifth year of Chen's reign, and it is also the most uneasy year.
