The emperor and Meng Shulan stared at each other for a long time, but finally the emperor compromised.

This guy didn't go to morning, he just came after dinner, but he's still hungry!

In fact, this is not the first time Meng Shulan has come to his door. Ever since the reward was announced, this kid has blocked him every day, but today he was negligent and was blocked by him.

The emperor rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, sighed, and then spoke: "You should know what it means for a prince's family to stay in Kyoto for a long time."

Seeing that the emperor straightened his expression, Meng Shulan stopped making jokes, knelt down and straightened up, as if he had admitted his mistake and listened to the instructions, and naturally did not answer the emperor's words.

The emperor glanced at Meng Shulan and twitched the corner of his mouth, knowing that he would definitely not give up until he knew the reason.

The emperor, who originally wanted to hide it from him, couldn't help but turn his head and thought of other ways, but he was thinking in his heart, "If this bastard dares to chase after him, his legs will be broken!"

Because Meng Shulan's father had done the kind of thing back then, the emperor felt very unsure.

Especially since Meng Shulangang reminded him that father and son are quite similar.

The emperor was thinking about what he could say to make Meng Shulan pay more attention to the overall situation, so he naturally spoke slowly. It took him a long time to finish the sentence: "The reason why the princes' family members stay in the capital for a long time is to prevent the princes from rebelling. This has nothing to do with loyalty or not.

, or whether the emperor is suspicious or not, this is just a way to reassure both parties."

Meng Shulan frowned.

He knew there was nothing wrong with it, but he felt it was somewhat unkind.

"Not only the family members of princes, but also the family members of some important ministers stay somewhere for a long time. The same reason applies."

The emperor continued, "The first is to prevent problems before they occur, and the second is to allow him to concentrate on his official duties without being burdened by family affairs."

The emperor paused, glanced at Meng Shulan, his lips moved slightly, but stopped talking.

Meng Shulan took a look and knew that the emperor had finished talking about the pretext before, and he was probably thinking of some new pretense at this moment.

Where can I give him a chance?

So Meng Shulan tried to guess and asked: "So Aqing doesn't want fame, but he wants to take Madam Hou out of Kangdu?"

The emperor pursed his lips, stared at Meng Shulan with calm eyes, and sighed in his heart. For the first time, he thought that his nephew should be a little stupid, or pretend to be stupid like the third child, since it is easy to be fooled.

"yes."

The emperor rolled his eyes under his half-downed eyelids for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth, "Old General Qin Mang is old, and he only has one daughter, Qin Zhen. The father and daughter have been separated for twenty years, but they suffer from the fact that one of them is an important minister on the border and cannot

To leave easily, one is that the royal family members are not allowed to leave the capital privately. Moreover, the journey from Kangdu to the North is long, and there are many variables involved. For the sake of safety, we dare not let her leave the capital."

"Now that both Yan Kangming and Yan Xiu have passed away, the position of Zhenxi Marquis is vacant, and Yan Qing does not have any great official position. If you want to take Qin Zhen away, now is the best opportunity."

While talking to Meng Shulan, the emperor also recalled Yan Qing's exchange with him when he summoned Yan Qing a few days ago.

In the imperial study that day, after asking about the details of the war, the emperor asked Yan Qing: "With your contribution this time, you are enough to lead the army south. If you can subdue Li Dingshan's old troops and govern southern Xinjiang well, although I can't make you the Marquis of Zhennan, I can

It can also make you the Marshal of Southern Xinjiang. But why do you want to attribute this credit to Shu Lan?"

"You know, without this credit, everyone knows that those who want to take power will not agree to a girl like you heading south."

Yan Qing didn't even frown at the time when such a great contribution was given away: "Wei Chen thanked the Holy One for his favor, but Wei Chen has no intention of going south, nor does he have any intention of controlling the soldiers and horses of southern Xinjiang."

"Why?"

The emperor asked, "I heard that on the day of your father and brother's funeral, you once announced on the street that you would be promoted to a higher position as a woman, just like the Marquis Anyuan. Now it is a great opportunity to go south, so why don't you want to go south?"

During the questioning, the emperor suddenly lowered his eyes and looked a little more serious, "Could it be that you are still thinking about returning to Western Xinjiang?"

Facing the emperor's scrutinizing eyes, Yan Qing's expression remained as usual: "With Prince Shu in charge of Western Xinjiang, there will be long-term peace and stability, and we don't need to worry about it. I also believe that the Holy Emperor must have a better candidate to go south."

"The so-called remarks of Anyuan Hou's second class are just the angry words of a minor minister who was forced by his uncle at that time and he was not angry. They cannot be taken to be true."

As he spoke, Yan Qing paused, suddenly raised his head and met the emperor's eyes, and said seriously, "After this experience, Wei Chen realizes that you can't have your cake and eat it too in this world. Now that Wei Chen's grandfather is old,

Jiaci has been separated from his grandfather for many years, and he has not fulfilled his filial piety, so he often feels guilty. Moreover, the ministers and Jiaci have spent many years together, often apart from each other."

"Therefore, Weichen begs the Holy Emperor to allow Weichen to resign and leave Beijing, and take his family and family to the north to reunite with his grandfather's family."

Yan Qing bowed to the ground, but the emperor could not recover for a long time.

He had seen many old ministers retire and return home, and he had also seen many courtiers coerce him into compromising by resigning and returning home. But now, for the first time, he saw a child with a good future give up his bright future for his mother.

At this moment, upon closer inspection, the emperor seemed to suddenly realize that this young minister whom he was optimistic about, who had just made great achievements and relied on him, was actually still an underage child.

The emperor was in a daze.

Looking back on Yan Qing's behavior in the past, people always unconsciously ignore her age and treat her as someone else.

Looking at Yan Qing again, the emperor's expression was a little complicated.

He did not immediately agree to Yan Qing's request to resign. Instead, he asked her: "How old are you this year?"

The emperor suddenly asked such an irrelevant question, and Yan Qing couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking, so he had to answer honestly: "Wei Chen is fourteenth this year."

The emperor was slightly shocked, is he really underage?

Then he asked again: "How long do you have to wait for Ji Ji?"

Yan Qing was even more confused: "Wei Chen's birthday is more than two months before the ceremony."

The emperor looked at Yan Qing, feeling unable to calm down for a long time.

A child of more than fourteen years old has been a pioneer in the frontier for four years. Yan Kangming is really willing to give up!

But he soon remembered that the first time Yan Qing fought as a vanguard, he had personally made him a general.

Although I was carrying this child at a young age, she would not take it seriously if she was discovered by bandits after going up the mountain in disguise. The person assigned to her was just in case, so that he could help her go down the mountain.

But I never thought that she would be able to capture the bandit stronghold with just a few people!

After that, Yan Qing's position as vanguard was confirmed. Yan Kangming arranged to be assigned to the vanguard camp in Er County as a squad leader. Later, for some reason, she became the commander of the vanguard camp, completely confirming her title as a vanguard general.

.

After roughly sorting out what he knew about Yan Qing's achievements, the emperor only found it incredible.

While he was shocked, it also made his mind clearer.
