/p>     The Emperor has always been directly managed by the Emperor, and the Emperor has never been bound by any yamen and is directly responsible to His Majesty the Emperor.
However, when Qi Ning heard the little emperor say this, he realized that the little emperor has not yet completely controlled the Shenhou Mansion.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved. Since Emperor Taizong was established, there have been two divine dignitaries. After the first emperor ascended the throne, Ximen Wuhen became a divine dignitaries. Once the emperor was the emperor and the minister, the little emperor had already succeeded to the throne, but Ximen Wuhen was still above the position of the divine dignitaries.
Ximen Wuhen was loyal to the previous emperor, so there was no objection to this, but I am afraid that even the little emperor himself would not know whether he was loyal to the little emperor.
The most important thing is that Ximen Wuhen, as the divine marquis promoted by the advanced emperor, was a confidant of the advanced emperor. The advanced emperor naturally had the means to control Ximen Wuhen. However, it was not easy for the young emperor to ascend the throne and in a chaotic moment of the court.
For the little emperor, the best way to control the Shenhou Mansion is of course to promote his confidants to replace Ximen Wuhen, but in the current situation, it is obviously not easy to do this.
If it cannot be replaced, then another way is to win over it.
All the civil and military officials of the court naturally knew that after the little emperor ascended the throne, he valued the Jinyi Qi family very much, and everyone knew that the Jinyi Qi family was completely on the same path as the little emperor. The emperor gave the marriage to the Ximen family and the Qi family, of course, to bring the Shenhou Mansion into the emperor's sect.
Qi Ning thought something, and the little emperor patted Qi Ning on the shoulder and said, "I have indeed revealed the intention of giving a marriage, but I have not disclosed who to give you, and I have never issued an order. I am going to wait for you to come back to discuss." He sighed and whispered, "I understand that once the order to give a marriage is issued, it will not be possible to take it back."
Qi Ning was originally quite unhappy about being decided by someone, but the little emperor had such considerations, which made him feel more comfortable.
"I know if it's up to me to decide, you may not feel happy." The little emperor smiled bitterly and said, "The Empress Dowager has been forcing me to make Sima Wanqiong the queen. I am not feeling well and knowing the taste. So...!" Looking at Qi Ning, he said, "I treat you as a brother, so whether to agree or not is your own decision."
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Emperor, as long as there is a force in the court that can be won over, we naturally cannot miss it. However... it is unknown whether Ximen Zhanying agrees to this marriage. If it is just to win over the Shenhou Mansion and let Ximen Zhanying marry into the Qi family in aggrieved manner, it will not be very fair to her."
The little emperor Zhan Yan smiled and said, "You are too worried. You are handsome and handsome, and you are a marquis of the empire after all. If you can't even conquer a woman, how can you help me conquer the world?"
"Your Majesty, I don't like to hear this." Qi Ning's eyes rolled: "Who said that you can't conquer a woman? If you don't believe me, I will handle all the women in the capital."
The little emperor laughed and said, "I will give you three days. Three days later, you will tell me if I am willing to give a marriage. If there is no reply, I will directly announce the edict."
At this moment, I heard a voice coming from outside, saying, "Fan Zhuo, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, bowed to the Emperor!"
Longtai said: "Come in and talk."
When Fan Zhuo entered the imperial study, Qi Ning recognized it at a glance. He had been to the Imperial Hospital for Mrs. Tian's affairs, but he had met the envoy of the Fan Hospital.
The envoy of the Fan Academy came in to visit. Qi Ning thought that the envoy of the Fan Academy was quite good at treating him in the previous episode, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Fan Academy is superb in medical skills and generous. Last time, thanks to the envoy of the Fan Academy, I saw me sick."
The envoy of Fan Yuan heard that Qi Ning praised him in front of the emperor and was grateful and hurriedly bowed down and humble. Longtai had already asked: "What's the situation of the prince?"
The envoy of the Fan Yuan looked around and looked at Qi Ning again. Longtai said, "The Hou of Jinyi is my close minister, so there is no need to be a taboo."
Fan Yuanzeng thought to himself that everyone outside said that Jinyi Hou was close to the emperor, but now it seems that this is true. He stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the disease...!" After hesitating, Longtai had already frowned and said: "Your way, there is no need to be a taboo."
"Yes!" Fan Zhuo hurriedly said: "The prince is terminally ill, has economic and trade disorders, and has qi deficiency and blood deficiency. If the diagnosis is good, he will be unable to make up for the future. At most... it will be about a year."
"Is it really helpless?"
"I am not sure." Fan Zhuo looked solemn: "There are many strange people in the world, and it is unknown whether there is a way to bring back the dead. I will recruit people to search for magical medicine everywhere, and whether it can quietly help the prince recover."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from behind him, "Enter Fan, don't be upset." Everyone looked over immediately, but saw that Xiao Shaozong had already walked to the door and was entering the imperial study room.
Longtai frowned and said, "Criminal, you..."
"I am grateful for the favor of the emperor." Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "But it is difficult for people to ascend to heaven. My stubborn disease has been favored by God. It is also a gift for him to live for a year or two. I know my own situation. Over the years, my father has also found countless famous doctors, but he is helpless. How long he can live depends on God's gift." As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed.
The envoy of the Fan Yuan hurriedly said, "Criminal, I will go and dispense medicine now, you...!"
"No need to work hard." Xiao Shaozong smiled and said, "The medicinal materials in the Huainan Prince's Mansion are piled up like mountains. Over the years, I have never taken medicine at any time. I am really tired of it." He bowed and said, "Assistant Fan, I have to worry about you more. You are busy with your affairs, so you don't have to delay here."
The envoy of the Academy Fan looked at Longtai. Longtai looked solemn and nodded slightly. The envoy of the Academy Fan then left.
"Criminal, you are in poor health, go back to your house to rest." Longtai stepped forward and comforted him: "I will send someone to continue to visit famous doctors and will cure you no matter what."
Xiao Shaozong smiled slightly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, I may enter the palace less and less in the future, and I cannot help you too much. You have just ascended the throne, so you don't have to hurry up in everything. With the help of the brocade, everything will be fine." After a pause, he said, "This great Chu country was forged with blood from the ancestors. The Xiao family's country must be borne by you alone. You should take care of it."
He said he was diagnosed and treated. Qi Ning saw that he knew that he was suffering from a terminal illness and was still able to remain calm, and secretly admired his mentality.
"Waiting for Jinyi, I originally hoped to help the emperor unify the world with you and let the people of the world live and work in peace and prosperity." Xiao Shaozong's face was pale and his voice was quite weak, but his tone was still very calm: "But it seems that I can't accompany the emperor too far. The emperor values ​​you very much, and I just hope that you will not let down the emperor's expectations."
Qi Ning bowed his hand and looked solemn.
"Emperor, I will leave first." Xiao Shaozong coughed for a while, and Longtai had already shouted: "Van Dehai!"
Fan Dehai, the eunuch in charge of internal power, hurried in, and Longtai ordered: "You bring people to see the prince back home, and you should take more care of him on the way." He said to Xiao Shaozong: "I will go see you another day."
Xiao Shaozong bowed without saying much, and with Fan Dehai's company, he retreated.
When Xiao Shaozong left, Longtai sighed lightly. Seeing that the little emperor looked bad, Qi Ning knew that he was worried about Xiao Shaozong's illness, and comforted him: "Emperor, life and death are fate, and this is also a matter of no need to worry too much."
Longtai nodded slightly, pondered for a moment before saying, "By the way, you have been on a mission to Dongqi and have dealt with Beitangyu, do you know how he is?"
"I don't have much contact with him." Qi Ning said: "I heard that he has a high status in Northern Han, but he doesn't have much real power."
Longtai smiled faintly and said, "Beitang Yu loves to dance and write, and has literary talent. His father once mentioned this person. The three brothers Beitanghuan, Beitanghuan inherited the throne. His two brothers Beitangyu and Beitangqing are also among the people. However, Beitanghuan is suspicious and has always rejected the two brothers after ascending the throne. Beitangqing, the Marquis of Changling, is a talented general. He has been on the front line and confronted my Great Chu. Beitanghuan was unable to move easily, but Beitangyu has been suppressed. Although he has a noble status in the Northern Han Dynasty, he has never had real power."
"So that's it." Qi Ning knew some of the history of the Northern Han Dynasty, but this was the first time he heard these things.
"Beitang Yu was naturally a little complaining about Beitang Huan and his son because of the suppression." Longtai smiled and said, "This time capturing Beitang Yu is of great benefit to us."
"Emperor, since Beitangyu has no real power in Beihan, how many secret matters can he know?" Qi Ningqi said: "Even if he defects to my Great Chu, what's the use of?"
Longtai said: "Although Beitangyu has no real power in Beihan, Beitanghuan asked him to do something extraordinary." After a pause, he said: "Come with me."
He carried his hands on his back and bypassed a wooden screen. Qi Ning followed in. He saw Longtai walking straight to a wall and staring at the wall. Qi Ning went forward. Only then did he see clearly that a map was actually hung on the wall.
He looked carefully and found that the map only depicts the area south of the Huai River, including the Yunnan-Guizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou-Cizhou
"This map has taken countless people's efforts." Longtai said slowly: "It is timely that the terrain within the territory of our Great Chu cannot be fully displayed on this map, and there are even some mistakes." Turning around, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be able to win a hundred battles. If you want to succeed in the Northern Expedition, in addition to having strength, do you know what is another important thing?"
"The Emperor said to know their terrain overview?"
Longtai nodded slightly: "Yes, it is so difficult to draw the terrain of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains into a map. As far as I know, in the previous dynasty, there was a map of the universe in the Luoyang Imperial Palace. However, when Beitang Tianwu led his army to attack Luoyang, someone set fire in the palace. The map of the universe is said to be in the fire. Although it was rescued in time, I heard that the map of the universe has been burned halfway."
Qi Ning understood that drawing a map is not easy, especially the conditions of this era. It is necessary to make a topographic map. Every ten or twenty years, plus a large amount of manpower and material resources, is simply impossible to achieve. A map of the world can be said to be a priceless treasure.
"Beitang Tianwu has obtained the incomplete Universe Map, and he has always wanted to repair it." Longtai said slowly: "It is said that when Beitang Huan's hands, the Universe Map had been repaired most of the Universe Map. He didn't want to give Beitang Yu real power, so he sent him to take over the repair of the Universe Map...!" His eyes shone, he stared at Qi Ning, and said with a hint of excitement: "Do you understand the value of Beitang Yu now?"
