Yujing City in early May is the most comfortable time.

Especially in the evening.

The weather is neither hot nor cold.

The air is neither dry nor dry.

The annoying cicadas have not yet woken up, and although there are mosquitoes, there are still very few.

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond that is quiet and leisurely are already in bud.

The green leaves have covered the pond, and the pink buds swayed slightly in the evening breeze. Dragonflies fell on the pointed lotus buds, and they also shook with the lotus buds.

Wen Zhuoyu stood by the pond, watching the red dragonfly resting on the lotus buds under the sunset.

Su Yian and Nian Chengfeng were in the pavilion behind him.

There are four dishes and a pot of wine on the table in the pavilion.

Su Yian turned his head and looked at Wen Zhuoyu's back, feeling very heavy.

He arrived in Kyoto in early April.

Now, he has taken over as Cheng Jingting, Duke Cheng Guo and became the subordinate minister of Ning Guo's disciples.

It can be said to reach the sky in one step.

But the ministers in the court had no complaints.

Because he was invited by the Regent!

It is also because he was a great scholar in Ningguo and had a noble character. Twenty years ago, he was even a colleague with many people.

In the more than a month, Su Yian also integrated into the temple.

He had a deep understanding of the essence of the regent's reform. He was about to show his strengths and show his ideals and ambitions, but unexpectedly... Just a few days ago, he received the urgent news from the Imperial City Si Feige-

Regent Li Chen'an, he died in the west mountain of Chongqing Prefecture!

This is fucking!

Wen Zhuoyu told him before that the regent's strategy is a series of reform strategies!

The current five-year plan is just the beginning.

In the future, when the Regent returns to Kyoto, there will definitely be more policies that are beneficial to the people and the country.

But now, he is dead!

When he died, no one in Ningguo could take the helm according to his ideas.

Then there is no future!

pity!

That kid is only eighteen years old!

Unfortunately, that boy had such a shocking talent!

"This is basically a jealous talent!"

Su Yian poured three glasses of wine, sighed, and said, "But it's strange that the regent died. Shouldn't his body be sent back to Kyoto to perform a state funeral according to the etiquette?"

"Why was buried in a desolate place in the West Mountain so sloppy?"

Wen Zhuiyu came over.

There was no sadness on his face.

Instead, it was a smile.

He sat at the table and looked at Su Yian, "Maybe it was the emperor's eldest son. Come and drink, don't talk about him anymore!"

Nian Chengfeng looked at Wen Zhuoyu suspiciously, picked up the wine glass, and did not ask Li Chen'an about it, but said:

"How much do you know about this eldest son?"

"Drink first!"

The three of them drank a drink together.

"I don't know much about this eldest son."

"His name is Xiaowu, he is disabled... he cannot listen to his ears and speak. He is a disciple of Doctor Sun, and a disciple of Changsun Tiewei."

Su Yian was stunned, "This, how can he communicate with the ministers as emperor?"

"He can write."

“…”

Su Yian wanted to say that there were all kinds of emperors in all dynasties, but he had never had a deaf and dumb emperor.

Wen Zhuoyu took the wine pot and poured the wine and said:

"He is the most important friend of the Regent, and this is a great blessing!"

"I dare to say that at today's meeting, just think about it carefully."

"Think about it, Xiao Wu is the eldest son of the emperor, and the regent went to Xishan to pick him up."

"The regent was killed in Xishan, and Xiao Wu's life experience was revealed. Although there was no necessary connection, the trip to Xishan cleared the last obstacle for Xiao Wu to become the emperor!"

Nian Chengfeng stroked her short beard and asked, "Is it just killing Concubine Li?"

"right!"

"In this way, no one in the palace can threaten Xiao Wu ascend the throne to the emperor... As for the third prince, I think that when Yan Jidao goes to the Chiyan Army, I will always give the court an explanation."

"Even if Yan Jidao, the uncle who can't do it, Ning Zhiyuan will never be able to return to Kyoto."

"Xiao Wu became the emperor, and the one he should thank the most is the Regent."

"With Zhongli's kindness to him over the years... I dare to assert that he will not deny the regent's national policies!"

Su Yian frowned and thought, and then a moment later, the eyebrows spread out.

He figured it out-

When Xiao Wu ascended the throne and became emperor, he relied on the power of Zhongli Mansion.

What he wants to thank is the Regent's brotherhood.

The most important thing is that Xiao Wu has no support in the court or among the people!

Even if he tasted the taste of power and wanted to do something, Wen Zhuyu was not an easy person, and Dingguo Hou was not a merciful person.

If Xiao Wu was smarter, he would definitely not deny Li Chenan.

He should approach the ministers in the court to safeguard his dignity as an emperor.

Of course, as the eldest son of the emperor supported by the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion, Wen Zhuoyu would not take the initiative to conflict with the new emperor.

The best situation is that the emperor was comfortable as his emperor, the three provinces and six ministries and all officials, and still implemented the five-year plan formulated by the Regent.

Of course it is the best if you can have fun.

If the well water does not interfere with the river water and they can be at peace with each other, then there will be no harm to Ningguo.

Su Yian figured it out.

Nian Chengfeng also figured it out.

The three raised their glasses to mourn Li Chen'an's death and set the tone for the major things to be done in the future.

"I'm afraid the news from Annan Province will be transmitted back in the next few days."

Wen Zhuoyu put down the cup, and there was a hint of worry between his eyebrows, and he said:

"That boy Wu Qian is a character."

"What I worry most is that the boy seized the opportunity to leave Wuyaguan!"

"Based on time, the boy arrived at Wuya Pass and was almost the same as when the Chiyan Army left..."

"If he brought the 80,000 troops from Zhaohua City of Wu Kingdom to attack and take advantage of the opportunity to capture Wuya Pass, even if Yan Jidao stopped the Red Flame Army in time, seized the command of the Red Flame Army, and then returned to Wuya Pass... I'm afraid it would not be so easy to retake it."

Nian Chengfeng nodded, "I feel that there are some problems with the command of this army."

"Last year in Kyoto's change, the Red Flame Army came to Kyoto."

"This time, the Red Flame Army left Wuya Pass and ran towards Kyoto..."

"After all the time, it's all that the control of the army has been wrong. I'm afraid this matter needs to be drawn up to solve it."

Wen Zhuoyu nodded slightly, "Well, but you still need to think about how to weigh the pros and cons."

"I'd love if that kid was there!"

"He must have a good way to restrain the army, and he must have a good way to build the army."

Nian Chengfeng also sighed, he drank a glass of wine, and suddenly asked:

"You said, will that kid be alive?"

Su Yian was shocked, and Wen Zhuoyu pondered for three breaths and showed a bitter smile:

"If he were still alive, how could the Fourth Princess Ning Chuchu go to Mobei!"

Su Yian asked: "Where is that Miss Xiao?"

"It is said that he is heartbroken and goes to Wanxizhai alone."

"Oh...then he's really dead."
