It is logical that when the eldest prince went to Gyeonggi Province, it was still very far away. He finished the prisoner in the Tiger Bone Tower for half a year. According to his own opinion, he wanted to travel to the world of Daning. He was two years old and ten years old. To be honest, he couldn't have traveled all his life in Daning.

The old dean has been thinking about another thing since Simaozhai left. Han Huanzhi went to the grassland, Ye Liuyun went to the northern border, and everything about the Anxi Protectorate was ready. Han Huanzhi could directly control the overall situation when he went to the north. However, Ye Liuyun was so hasty to go to the north. This was definitely not the style of His Majesty's work. People in the court said that it was because Ye Liuyun and Shen Leng were too close to each other, so they were implicated, but the old dean never thought so. Will His Majesty implicate Ye Liuyun because of Shen Leng?

Your Majesty cannot be confused or absurd.

More importantly, even if you want to build the Northern Protectorate of An, it shouldn’t be Ye Liuyun. Is there a suitable candidate in Northern Xinjiang who knows more about Northern Xinjiang not suitable?

Moreover, Your Majesty wants to build the Anbei Protectorate, and he is definitely not thinking about doing it today. He transferred Ye Yun to the northern border to be responsible for the logistics of the food and grass of the army in the Northern Expedition. He has great authority and can control all the roads. Isn’t this paving the way for the Anbei Protectorate?

If it was said that it paved so many ways for Ye Yun to scatter and finally gave Ye Liuyun, wouldn’t it be an extravagant way?

Everyone said that the old president was not concerned about the government affairs, but in fact, if the old president really didn’t care about the government affairs, he just cared about the academy. Even later, people said that the old president was simply relying on His Majesty’s attention and even ignored the academy. Then why could the old president answer everything he asked about?

It is said that the old dean is not capable and only depends on his relationship with His Majesty, but he really has no ability and no vision.

The old dean needs to keep thinking all the time. He knows that His Majesty regards him as a spiritual support, but this spiritual support is really so easy to be?

As soon as he left the stoop and got on the carriage, he had not walked a few steps away and the carriage stopped again. Before the old dean could lift the curtain to see what was going on, the curtain of the car was picked up, and a man with a slight smell of sweat on his body came in.

The old dean couldn't help but sigh at the sight: "How long have you not been home?"

Lai Cheng, who entered the car, curled himself up in a ball and looked for a safe and comfortable position. He didn't know how long he hadn't changed his clothes. He was struggling in the cabinet house for a few days and didn't take a shower. There were still people smoking pipes in the room, so the smell was naturally not good.

People will think that the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet is so glamorous. If they were asked to go to the cabinet and smell the smell in the cabinet, they might be surprised to think that everything is an illusion.

"It's been more than ten days."

Lai Cheng huddled and replied with his eyes narrowed.

The old dean said, "Is there something wrong with stopping my car?"

"It's okay, I just took a car home. If I go back to Weiyang Palace, I will have to delay a while. I just happened to send a memorial to His Majesty. I knew that the gentleman was about to leave, so I caught up with him."

The old dean sighed: "The Chief Minister of the Cabinet, look at your clothes and the smell on your body."

Lai Cheng sighed: "There is a flood on Nanping Road."

He glanced at the old dean: "For this matter, the cabinet is inextricably contentious. Your Majesty asked the cabinet to come up with a result as soon as possible, but no one on both sides could convince each other. Nanpingdao turned out to be surrendered for a few years. In fact, it was hard to say how much surrender was. Qiuli was a little sinister and dissatisfied in his bones. If it were not suppressed by the general Zhuang Yong, please make trouble every now and then. Even if General Zhuang Yong was there, those remote places still made some noise from time to time. Therefore, most people in the cabinet said that they should not be rescued. The court's relief would have to be more than half of the loss from Chang'an to Nanpingdao. If grain was transferred from Pingyuedao and other places to provide relief, it would be more than half of the loss.

Ji, this matter cannot be spoken. At the beginning, these kids were seeking to establish a murderer and set fire to Pingyuedao for his crimes. How could the hatred be resolved? If Pingyuedao transfers food, they would deliberately delay even if the court dispatches it."

The old dean: "You are so worried about this?"

“This is one of them.”

Lai Chengdao: "Secondly, Your Majesty plans to let the cabinet discuss the matter of moving the war eastward."

The old dean's face changed: "Why?"

Lai Chengdao gestured a box with his hands: "It turns out that Daning is so big, and the four border soldiers are conquering east, west, south and north. But now, Daning has expanded its territory from east, west, south and north to east. Why did Your Majesty build Anxi Protectorate, Annan Protectorate, and Anbei Protectorate? He enlarged the box of his gestures. The Four Frontiers Tigers and Wolves are in their original location. The Protectorate is a framework with a large frame. Originally, the Four Frontiers Tigers and Wolves were the first line of defense, but now the Four Frontiers Protectorate is the first line of defense."

The old dean understood: "So the problem now is that there is only Dongjiang and no Protectorate."

"right."

Lai Cheng looked at the old dean: "In theory, if you want to set up the Andong Protectorate, the Bohai Road is the most suitable. General Yan Kaisong guards the Bohai Road, and he is the first protector of the Andong Protectorate. The problem is that Your Majesty just doesn't plan to set up the Andong Protectorate, and will soon launch troops against Sang Kingdom. Everyone is wondering if the Andong Protectorate will be established in Sang Kingdom after destroying Sang Kingdom in the future, but this is inappropriate."

Lai Chengdao: "If it is placed in the Bohai Road and connected to Daning, it is not an enclave, but if it is placed in the Sang Kingdom, it will be difficult to support it if there is anything."

The old dean shook his head: "Annan Protectorate's Mansion is farther away."

Lai Cheng: "Sir, you don't understand what I mean."

The old dean certainly understood, so he sighed: "Your Majesty wants to transfer Meng Chang'an away."

"yes."

Lai Cheng was helpless: "Although Your Majesty did not say it clearly, I guess it was probably like this. Your Majesty wants to bring Meng Chang'an down Bohai Road or Sang Kingdom, if so,"

He didn't say anything later, but the old dean would understand that this was the reason why Lai Cheng was inappropriate.

In this case, Meng Changan has been stationed overseas for a long time. This matter seems nothing special. However, considering that His Majesty still has the intention to suppress Shen Leng for a while, it can be roughly speculated that His Majesty wants to put Meng Changan farther away just in case.

The old dean looked at Lai Cheng: "I just chatted with His Majesty, and His Majesty said that he wanted the eldest prince to settle in Gyeonggi Province in the future."

Lai Cheng was shocked: "Gyeonggi-do?!"

His eyes flashed, and his gaze became a little vague: "What is your Majesty's arrangement like this?"

The old dean shrugged: "I want to know too."

Isn’t the threat to place the eldest prince in Gyeonggi Province much bigger than Shen Leng?

The two of them looked at each other and felt something was wrong with His Majesty. Even Lai Cheng had to doubt whether His Majesty was a little confused?

At this moment, the two saw a carriage parked outside the Imperial Garden. A man wearing a first-class official uniform got off the carriage, sorted out his official uniform, and entered the Imperial Garden, obviously going to meet His Majesty.

"Dou Huainan?"

The old dean looked at Lai Cheng: "Your Majesty asked Dou Huainan to come back, does the cabinet know?"

"have no idea."

Lai Cheng's face looked a little ugly: "Your Majesty has never mentioned it."

The governments in various places are second-ranked, but the governments in Gyeonggi Province are first-ranked. Dou Huainan was originally a marching consultant in the Chen Leng Army. His promotion speed in recent years was faster than that in Chen Leng. He first went to the cabinet to work.

Then he was released and became a prefectural governor. Within two years, he was transferred to the Daogong, and then to the Daogong for another two years. In another two or three years, he was transferred to the Gyeonggi Province. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had risen to the top.

"Your Majesty summoned Dou Huainan at this time."

The old dean raised his lips: "It's interesting."

Lai Cheng was anxious: "Sir, what does it mean?"

"Look at it."

The old dean looked out the car window: "Your Majesty may have to pull out the nails in Gyeonggi Province. I guess, Your Majesty has lied to me. Just now, Your Majesty said that the eldest prince will return to Gyeonggi Province at least a few years later. I think it's not far away."

Si Maozhai.

Dou Huainan quickly walked into the door, then leaned over and fell to the ground: "My minister Dou Huainan, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The emperor pointed to the chair not far away: "Sit down and talk."

Dou Huainan then sat down on the chair with his butt. The emperor flipped through the memorials that Lai Cheng had just delivered and said, "I asked you to hurry back to Chang'an. Are all the matters in Gyeonggi Province arranged?"

"After receiving the order, I made arrangements, and most of them were arranged."

"That's good."

The emperor said: "Dou Huainan, do you know why I summoned you back?"

"I don't know."

The emperor put down his pen: "I have surrendered Chen Leng's title in front of me and also surrendered his military post. There is no one in the court's civil and military affairs, and even the Censorate has submitted a letter to raise objections. Only you have submitted memorials three times in succession. I want to ask you if you are speaking for Chen Leng because of a private affair."

Everyone knows that Dou Huainan was promoted by Chen Leng. Although he was higher than Chen Leng in terms of official positions later, if Chen Leng had not been promoted and recommended by Chen Leng, how could he have the status he is today?

Dou Huainan bowed his head: "28."

"Um?"

The emperor glanced at Dou Huainan: "28?"

"yes."

Dou Huainan said: "Two points are to discuss national affairs, and eight points are to think about personal relationships."

The emperor frowned: "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you?"

"I'm not afraid."

Dou Huainan said: "I wrote the first time I wrote a letter, thinking that maybe Your Majesty will punish me. After the second time I wrote the letter, I was waiting for the decree of demotion. After the third time I wrote the letter, I felt that my career might have ended here, but I have asked myself carefully and I am not afraid. I am afraid of many things, but I am not afraid of being worthy of my conscience."

The emperor frowned and asked, "What if I kill you?"

Dou Huainan: "If I demoted because I wrote a letter to say something coldly, I think it's nothing wrong. After all, Your Majesty also has times of confusion. If I lose my life because of this matter, it's even more nothing wrong. Daning hasn't even more foolish monarch yet, and one will inevitably be released."

"Dou Huainan!"

The emperor shouted loudly.

Dou Huainan slowly stood up and knelt on the ground: "I am here."

The emperor frowned: "Do you really think I dare not touch you?"

"Your Majesty just asked me that I have made arrangements? I did make almost the same arrangements when I came, and everything I had arranged after me."

Dou Huainan raised his head: "I have been an official for many years and have saved a total of 726 taels of silver. They have all been donated to the Gyeonggi-do Dao Academy and a house. Before coming, I also gave it to the Gyeonggi-do Fujun Office to resettle the incomplete orphans. This house was not distributed to the court by the court. The house that the court distributed to the ministers was returned. This house was bought by the ministers himself."

After saying these words, Dou Huainan looked at the emperor: "If Your Majesty asks me again if I am afraid, I will still not be afraid."
