In Liyang, a wealthy manor served as the emperor's temporary palace.
Wang Jian was sitting in the study, flipping through the information from this period.
Some were from the imperial court, some were from the Baling Gang, and a few others were sent by the woman Yun Yuzhen.
Li Clan hasn't raised the flag yet, so obviously the information hasn't been passed on yet. After all, Wang Jian moved too fast.
Li Mi and Zhai Rang in Wagang Village did not fall out like they did in the original plot. After all, Xingyang had not yet been conquered.
The Four Bandits are still preparing to attack Pegasus Ranch, but they haven't started yet.
The north is in chaos. Dou Jiande, Gao Shida, Liang Shidu, etc. are all not simple things.
The Eastern and Western Turks were also eyeing him, especially the Eastern Turks. Khan Jieli was eager to see through the situation, and the Turks were equally ambitious, and for this reason they also supported a large number of rebel leaders.
Even the Li clan has connections with the Turks and will unite to conquer the world for a long time.
But in the end, Li Shimin finished taking advantage of others and had to be a vassal and pay tribute for twelve years. Finally, he felt that he had fallen out, but unexpectedly, he offended the Turks, and finally signed the Weishui Alliance, one of the biggest humiliations in his life.
Although after several years of recuperation, the country's military strength increased significantly. He defeated the Turks and crushed Jieli like a dog, and was called the Khan of Heaven.
But these are indelible. Wang Jian knew very well that if one day the Li clan turned against him and rebelled, there would definitely be the shadow of the Turks behind him.
Although the information looked good, Wang Jian knew that he had to speed up.
It's okay for others, but the Turks can't stand it.
If the country had not yet been stabilized, he would have wanted to gather his troops and sweep across the northern prairie.
Kill all the men and rob all the women.
After putting away this information, he practiced for a while, refining the spiritual energy in the bone soup, and then went back to the room and fell asleep with Dugu Feng and Shan Wanjing in his arms.
Early the next morning, when Wang Jian, Shan Wanjing, Dugu Feng, and Bai Qing'er were practicing together, they heard the palace maid report that Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong had met.
He also stopped practicing and invited the two generals to have breakfast together while listening to their reports.
He has nothing to say, and he doesn't have much experience in the management of the country. He can only deal with it from the overall situation. It is nothing more than political system, military, economy, agriculture, etc. The trivial matters will naturally be handled by the people below.
It's the same now, let the two of them decide for themselves whether they should attack the Jianghuai Army and regain the lost ground.
The two of them left immediately after eating. Soon after, Qin Qiong led 30,000 soldiers and horses and headed towards Xin'an County.
Zhang Xutuo also asked his lieutenants to lead their armies to clean up the Jianghuai Army and some mountain bandits around Liyang.
After the last sniper attack on Wang Jian was defeated, the Jianghuai army was already exhausted and could no longer attack Liyang.
Li Zitong had already fallen out with them and returned to the East China Sea, so Liyang was considered safe.
The safety here means that Jiangdu is connected to the Central Plains, Xiangyang, Dongting Lake and other areas without any obstruction.
The situation in Jiangdu is now a little safer, as it is not surrounded by enemies on all sides, has no strategic depth, and cannot farm and develop.
Wang Jian stayed in Liyang for three days and received good news. Qin Qiong entered Xin'an County and defeated the Jianghuai army.
Now the remnants of the Jianghuai Army in the area are being cleared, and Xin'an County has been officially recovered.
Wang Jian was inexplicably surprised to receive such great news so soon. She was so happy that day that she spent the whole day looking for Dugu Feng, Shan Wanjing and the other six girls.
In the morning, Wang Jian finished practicing and was about to go into the house to see if the six ladies were up when he heard the palace maid say that two young men were trying to break into the temporary palace.
Wang Jian was furious after hearing this. If anyone dared to provoke him at this time, shouldn't he be shot to death?
Immediately, he stepped on Fengshen's legs and quickly came to the front yard, where he saw two young men flexibly dodging and defending under the siege of the guards. Some of them were repulsed with every move.
But it was obvious that none of them had killed anyone.
"stop!"
Wang Jian scolded, and the guards quickly sheathed their swords and retreated, keeping distance from the two young men.
"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, come with me."
That's right, it was these two people who broke into the temporary palace, and they simply didn't know how to live or die.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and inquiry in each other's eyes.
He was surprised that Wang Jian knew him, and asked if he was already famous all over the world, even the emperor knew about them.
The two of them are both talented in arts and bold, and they are extremely confident people. Otherwise, they would not dare to break into the temporary palace directly. Since Wang Jian invited them, it would be even better.
In the main hall, Wang Jian sat with a golden sword, and the maids who were waiting around him were all dismissed by him.
In the past, some people might still be worried, but now, no one would worry about the emperor's safety in this palace.
"The one-year time limit has not yet expired, and you two brought the "Secret of Immortality"?"
Wang Jian's words shocked the two of them. Xu Ziling's eyes flashed: "It turned out to be His Majesty that night!"
Kou Zhong was also a smart person. Unlike Xu Ziling, he heard Wang Jian's voice. He figured it out from his words, not to mention being reminded by his companions.
"Oh it's you!"
"That's right. Where's the "Secret of Immortality"?"
"Your Majesty, we don't have this "Secret of Immortality" with us. We don't even know it's you. How about we go back and get it now?"
Kou Zhong said with a smile, as if he was very relaxed, but in fact his whole body was tense.
How could he have imagined that the person who asked them for the "Secret of Immortality" one night was actually the emperor in front of him.
That's not what he came here for this time, because he didn't even know it was him at the time.
Wang Jian shouted coldly: "Then why did you break into my temporary palace? Are you trying to assassinate me?"
Of course Wang Jian knew that the two of them had other affairs, but he was just deliberately embarrassing them.
You are so audacious, you dare to break into the palace without permission, I can't bear it.
This is his home. It would be uncomfortable for a normal person to have someone break into his home, let alone an emperor who occupies a high position and controls the world.
Kou Zhong rolled his eyes and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about national affairs. I accidentally obtained Dongming's account book, and I immediately found an opportunity to hand it over to you, the emperor."
Xu Ziling said calmly from the side: "The emperor was also in Yuhang that night. Did he want to steal Dongming's account books?"
Wang Jian then remembered that in the original plot, Shuanglong seemed to bribe Yu Shiji and Pei Yun to get the opportunity to meet the emperor, and also handed over Dongming's account book to the emperor.
At this point, I really have to admire the halo of the two protagonists. Tianyu Wenji immediately rebelled, and Yang Guang also directly burped. Speaking of which, I don’t know if there is a reason why the two people are adding fuel to the fire.
Wang Jian never expected that Shuanglong would come directly to Liyang. By the way, isn't Du Fuwei their cheap daddy?
It's just that Dongming's account book is of little use to him. Princess Dongming is still at home, and she doesn't know if she's up yet.
"By the way, who asked you to steal Dongming's account books?"
