Chapter 144 The Son of Merchants Fights the World 44

In Shangjing, in the study of the prime minister's mansion, an elegant old man wearing purple and yellow and official uniform was sitting on a chair, flipping through the investigation records of his confidant Gu Cheng, his cloudy eyes were thoughtful.

Prime Minister: "You mean that Yizhou soldiers occupied Jingzhou because Yizhou Mu Yanying couldn't bear the suffering of the people and acted in a moment of indignation?"

Gu Cheng nodded and said: "It's true that the official ordered someone to inquire in private, and Yan Ying also said the same in front of the official. Yizhou Mu is highly praised by the people, and the people of Yizhou and Jingzhou respect him very much."

The prime minister had also received filial piety from Liu Ye of Jingzhou before, and he knew that Liu Ye's hands were not clean. The regent made a mess before, delegating power to the states, and further weakening the influence of the imperial power. It was a bad move.

Now that the regent is dead, the government has returned to his hands, but now that His Majesty is young, everything is up to him. I thought that apart from the national traitors, I didn't expect to take over a big mess.

The prime minister is currently busy with the fragmented state affairs. Although there is a general Qin Lang in the north, there are still some bandits taking advantage of the situation to make trouble. It is enough to send troops to suppress these things, and there will be no big troubles.

What he needs to focus on is the movements of the major princes. Now, the thirteen state herdsmen are all ready to move. Liu Yi in Qingzhou in the north and Zhang Jian in Xuzhou are embracing their own troops and making small moves. Yizhou shepherds in the south One person occupied two prefectures. Although the reasons given by Yizhou Mu Yanying were reasonable, the prime minister knew clearly that this case must not be opened, especially the princes of the prefectures should not be allowed to grow bigger.

However, it is easy to release power, but it is difficult to take it back!

The study was very quiet, Gu Cheng bent down and respectfully reported the situation of Yanzhou Mu and Yangzhou Mu, and told the prime minister in detail.

After a cup of tea, and finally finished speaking, Gu Cheng with a dry throat quietly raised his eyes to look at the prime minister, but saw him concentrating on something, tapping the table with his index finger again and again.

After a while, the prime minister came back to his senses, looked down at his subordinates, and immediately had an idea in his heart.

……Dividing line……

In Yanzhou Mu He Zhan's mansion, Yan Ying woke up every day to eat, and went out for a walk after eating, and then had a few dishes with Nanqian after she came back. The life was very pleasant, and it was not over until the seal letter from the Prime Minister of Shangjing was delivered. This comfortable life.

In the wing room, Yan Ying finished reading the letter, and then expressed deep thought.

At the court meeting, the prime minister publicly praised him for his actions to eliminate the moths in the country, and then appointed Gu Cheng as the new Jingzhou shepherd, who will take office soon.

Although a Jingzhou shepherd was appointed, he didn't ask Yan Ying to return the general administration. It was obviously a test. The prime minister was testing her for disobedience. What an old fox.

After Yan Ying got the letter, she went to the living room to resign. Coincidentally, Nan Qian also got the order to evacuate.

The journey back was smooth, Yan Ying had just arrived in Jingzhou, and Gu Cheng also came, and after some pleasantries, they entered the mansion.

In the study, Bai Jueyan explained in detail the appointment of some officials in Jingzhou. It was still about the planning of Jingzhou's land and population. In fact, the template of Yizhou came first, and the governance of Jingzhou was not very difficult.

After Bai Jueyan finished speaking, he asked, "Gu Cheng has the prime minister behind him, so it's troublesome. Obviously, the prime minister wants to weaken our power. How should we deal with him? Hold him up as a puppet, or keep doing nothing? "

Yan Ying smiled lightly, and said: "Gu Cheng is nothing to be afraid of, I have already arranged a good place for him to eat and drink without worrying about it."

Bai Jueyan frowned and thought for a while, and then saw outside the window, the soldier in the mansion made a gesture, and after a second of understanding, he was surprised: "The lord locked him up?"

In fact, when she was in Yizhou before, Bai Juyan got the news that Qingzhou was going to fight. She thought, the north was in chaos, and Jingzhou was left unattended. Who knew that the calculation was wrong, and the north is safe and sound until now. Yes, their action of annexing Jingzhou from Yizhou actually put the lord on fire.

It’s not a good thing to shoot the bird at the head and expose your ambition prematurely. Although the Yong Dynasty has experienced such dirty things as Zhang Sheng’s rebellion and the country’s uncle’s chaos in government, there are still many centipedes in such a huge country. of a loyal man.

If Yizhou was once labeled as a traitor by the prime minister, then the princes would have a reputation and attack them in groups... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Bai Jueyan frowned deeply, and blamed herself quite a bit. As a counselor, this time she didn't think carefully and acted recklessly.

Yan Ying glanced at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Xiaobai. When I was in Yanzhou, I had nothing to do, so I wrote a few letters to Qingzhou Mu and Xuzhou Mu. I think there will be news from Jizhou soon."

When she was in Yanzhou, Yan Ying learned a lot of information about Liu Yi, Mu of Qingzhou, and Zhang Jian, Mu of Xuzhou, through the help of this famous person who moved to the south. Definitely not a law-abiding person.

So, she privately wrote a few letters of encouragement to them, originally thinking of casting a net everywhere, but she didn't expect that both of them would bite the bait, and then Yan Ying acted as the middle hand, fooling their coalition forces to fight Jizhou.

General Qin Lang took over Uncle He's remnants, and now he has become the most powerful military commander in each state. He was transferred from the mountain by the prime minister and sent to Youzhou to clean up the bandits. , It is estimated that it can be done in one pot, and then Qin Lang will hold Bingzhou and Youzhou.

In this way, she is not the only prince in charge of the two states.

Besides, the war in the north is raging, who still has that carefree Gu Cheng who manages Jingzhou.

Yan Ying took a sip of her green tea, and she had a good plan.

It is said that the times make heroes, but according to Yan Ying, heroes can also make the times. If there is no turmoil, let's create turmoil. We can't keep our eyes on her. It's time to divert our attention.

Bai Juyan was stupefied when he heard this, and he breathed a sigh of relief after a long time, and sighed: "My lord, this devil's mind has changed, and his mind is so sluggish."

Yan Ying rolled her eyes in embarrassment and anger: I am here to mend the loopholes, for whom am I patching up the loopholes?

In the dark prison at the bottom of the government office, Gu Cheng has not been out for ten days. In this place surrounded by walls, he has shouted and made trouble, but no one responded.

Every three meals, there will be a special person to put the food at the reserved window, and he will pick up the bowl and eat it mechanically, without any taste.

Today, he already understands that Yizhou Mu may have the heart of disobedience.

After figuring this out, he suddenly rejoiced that he was still alive. After all, if he was Yizhou Mu, he would have executed himself, the eyes and ears of the court, right away.

Sure enough, as Yan Ying expected, half a month later, Qin Lang showed his might in Youzhou, took over the bandit's den, and then carried it with the officials.

Qingzhou Mu Liu Yi and Xuzhou Mu Zhang Jian sent troops to Jizhou at the same time, and the war in the north was imminent.

Jizhou is in danger! ! !

At this moment, an urgent distress letter from Yangzhou sent to Fuchu.

After reading Nanqian's letter, Yan Ying lowered her eyes. It turned out that Nanqian had a cold when she returned to Yangzhou. The road was bumpy, and she fell ill after returning home.

At this juncture, the eldest son was poisoned and died, and the daughter-in-law, who was from a noble family in the south of the Yangtze River, even took the opportunity to steal the military amulet. Seeing this situation, the aristocratic family united to seize power.

After Yan Ying received the letter, she discussed with Xiaobai, and immediately dispatched [-] troops to Yangzhou.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is unique, but Yan Ying didn't have the time to appreciate it. She changed four horses along the way and finally arrived at Yangzhou City.

The city was heavily guarded, and the population and household registration of passers-by were being checked at the entrance and exit. Yan Ying concealed her identity this time, so she took a look at the situation first. She only brought Lingyou and a team of 20 people with her, leaving the army in the Hengshan area.

Yangzhou is prosperous and prosperous, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and study tours are popular. It is common for young princes like Yan Ying to go out to visit friends with their family guards.

Yan Ying and his party were unobtrusive. After entering the city, they went straight to Nanqian's mansion.

No matter how rampant this Jiangnan family was, they would not dare to seal up the state shepherd's mansion. After Yan Ying handed over the post, a five-year-old child in sackcloth and mourning came out.

"Small, son, Nan Geng (geng), I've seen it, my lord." The little baby looks like a radish, and his black pupils are very vivid, as if he can talk, but his every move has a look that doesn't match his age. Mature, just eight words, there were five pauses in a daze.

Yan Ying was taken aback.

Is this kid a stutter?

When he was in Yanzhou, the grandson Nan Geng was the one who talked about Nanqian. Whenever he was mentioned, his proud tone was filled with unspeakable distress. Presumably it was because of this child's congenital inadequacy?

Thinking of this, Yan Ying felt a pity in her heart, she reached out and touched the top of his head and said: "The little guy should call me brother, the adults are all old."

As he said that, there was an extra candy in his hand like a magic trick, and he coaxed: "Call me brother, I'll give you candy"

Nan Geng was stunned. He fixedly watched Yan Ying's fancy movements, and his encouraging smile. He didn't have the look of contempt or disgust from others. He seemed to be able to see his own in his eyes. Shadow, it is undeniable that he is in a very happy mood at the moment.

He opened his mouth, wanting to yell out two words, but the more anxious he got, the more stuck he was in his throat, and his face was flushed red, but he couldn't yell out.

The little guy lowered his head in frustration.

In the next second, a head was knocked on the forehead, and then a candy was stuffed into his mouth, only to hear the beautiful little brother hold his hand and said with a smile: "Why are you pretending to be deep?"

After Yan Ying burned a stick of incense in front of the mourning hall, she went to Nanqian's dormitory, and when she walked to the door, she smelled a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

Lying on the bed, Nan Qian, who was already seriously ill, lost a lot of weight and looked haggard. After seeing Yan Ying, he immediately struggled to get up.

Yan Ying really didn't expect Nanqian to become like this all of a sudden, so she stepped forward quickly, stopped his movement, frowned and said, "Why did you become so sick, what did the doctor in the mansion say?"

Nan Qian held Yan Ying's arm with a trembling hand and said, "My time has come, and the only thing I can't let go of is my grandson Nan Geng. Although he has a congenital illness, he is intelligent and sensitive. Don't expect him to become rich in the future. But please live a smooth life, from now on, I will entrust my grandson to you, I only hope that he can learn one or two of your wisdom, even if I die, I will be at ease."

Yan Ying met his earnest eyes and nodded involuntarily: "Don't worry, I will take care of him."

After Nanqian got this accurate sentence, he laughed. He was kind to others all his life. He thought that he had friends all over the world, but he never thought that an emergency letter on his deathbed would make him understand people's hearts. The fastest one came was Yan Ying, whom he had just met .

"There are many gentry in Yangzhou, entrenched in various places. My daughter-in-law in the mansion is from the Tao family in Danyang. She is not kind to her mother, and she relies on her natal family. Once I leave in the future, I will leave Geng'er alone in the mansion. He is still young and has no conscience. My mother, there are gentry from outside watching over me, and my child is hard to survive. Today, I beg my little friend to accept Nan Geng as an apprentice, teach him the worldly principles, and raise him to adulthood. I can’t repay him, but I can only offer Yangzhou to him.”

Seeing that Nanqian finished speaking and took out the seal of Yangzhou Mu from under the pillow, Yan Ying's eyes widened, her heart was excited, and her hands trembled: "Accept it, or not?"

I never thought that I thought I was Cao Cao, but I never thought that I could be Liu Bei once again!
