Mei Yunluo quickly took a cloak and put it on her, "I will accompany my sister-in-law."
Wei Mingfeng said: "Okay, Luo'er is the best."
In fact, she knew in her heart that Prince Jing was still convicted of treason. What was ridiculous was that there were rumors among the people that the eldest princess killed the traitor Jian Qingyang and saved her, and received many rewards. And because the new emperor ascended the throne, the emperor granted a general amnesty to the world, and the Jian family None of the clan was convicted, but they were all demoted to common people.
Although they kept it secret from her, she still heard some of the comments made by the people on the road.
That day, Wan Ling came to pick her up. She begged Wan Ling to take her away from the Northern Dynasty. Wan Ling kept saying that she would go to the Flower Kingdom and then give her a little prince.
Now she finally got her wish, she was leaving this place.
At this time, Mei Yunluo handed her another letter from Mei Yunfeng: "Brother has a letter."
Wei Mingfeng found a stone and sat down, took the letter and said, "I want to sit alone for a while. You go and have a rest. Don't keep hanging around me. I'm fine."
Mei Yunluo obediently walked to the carriage again, fed the horse some grass, then stared in the direction of Wei Mingfeng and sighed, thinking to herself: "Sister-in-law is suffering from a heart disease, so she keeps taking medicine without seeing her." improvement."
Mei Yunfeng stayed in the capital to suppress the rebellion and search for other rebels. He was a minister and he had to obey the emperor's orders, so he could not leave the capital at will.
But she didn't want to stay there for a moment, everyone was dead, and she wanted to escape from that place as soon as possible.
The letter said that the eldest princess had married Shangguan Jiyun...
Wei Mingfeng watched the tears flow down again, and her heart was very blocked.
"Mingfeng, why are you crying again?" Wan Ling came back with someone and walked to her side quietly.
"The wind was so strong that my eyes were blinded by the wind, and tears started to flow down my face." She explained and added, "What kind of game did you catch to satisfy my craving?"
"Pheasant and hare." She took out a snow-white rabbit from her back and handed it to her: "Here, let it be your pet."
Wei Mingfeng saw that the rabbit was so small and adorable, and sniffed her clothes with its three-petal mouth, and said, "It's so unkind to separate it from its mother when it's so small."
"It's a pity that my little lazy cat didn't take it with me when I left Beijing, and it turned into a stray cat again. I really feel sorry for it."
Wan Ling suddenly said: "It's been two months, are you in a better mood?"
Wei Mingfeng also looked up at her and nodded, "Well, I'm much better. Thank you for staying with me for two months."
"Anyway, I'm fine. I just want to enjoy the scenery of the Northern Dynasties." Wan Ling said easily.
Wei Mingfeng added: "I didn't expect that Her Majesty the Queen of the Flower Kingdom would accompany me all day long for sightseeing. I hope it didn't delay the government affairs of your Flower Kingdom."
Suddenly, Wan Ling stopped talking. Wei Mingfeng saw her expression solemn and said, "What happened? Be honest."
"Once the emperor and his ministers, since the death of Emperor Ming, the relationship between the Flower Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty has been somewhat tense." Wan Ling added: "If Emperor Nan tears up the treaty, both the Flower Kingdom and the Northern Dynasty will fall into war. They have been peaceful for so many years. , I don’t want to fight either.”
Wei Mingfeng said: "Emperor Nan has no reason to break this balance. The new emperor ascends the throne. When the situation is unstable, it is most taboo to cause a war."
Wan Ling said: "The Flower Kingdom pays tribute to the Northern Dynasty every year. Now Emperor Nan is asking for an increase in the amount of tribute, otherwise he will withdraw the soldiers guarding the Flower Kingdom. The Northern Dynasty has a strong military. If they withdraw, the surrounding countries may try again." On the head of the flower kingdom.”
Wei Mingfeng said coldly: "Despicable, it must be Empress Dowager Huo's idea. Emperor Nan is still young, and he doesn't have any opinions. He just depends on how King Yu adjusts it. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
She added: "Besides, the late emperor has issued an imperial edict that the Huo family must not interfere in politics..."
"I heard that it was the idea of the Prime Minister of the Northern Dynasty to replenish the treasury of the Northern Dynasty. This is indeed a good way, but it will only cause suffering for a small country like ours."
Wei Mingfeng also fell into deep thought and said: "The late emperor issued an imperial edict for Mei Yunfeng to guard the border fortress, but it has been two months and he has not left the capital. I also suspect that he may have been detained and he was not touched. , but I won’t let him go. Although he didn’t mention this in the letter he wrote to me, I can feel that he won’t leave Beijing so soon.”
"Mei Yunfeng has 300,000 dragon and tiger troops in his hands, which will indeed make the royal family fearful." Wan Ling also thought about it.
"I have a way to put pressure on Queen Mother Huo to let Mei Yunfeng leave the capital." Wei Ming said, "Let's eat roasted pheasant first."
"How can you confront Empress Dowager Huo? Now her two sons, one is the emperor and the other is the prince, they will naturally protect their biological mother."
"During Emperor Hades' reign, I supported many armies of the Northern Dynasty. If this support suddenly disappears, they will naturally send someone to talk to me. Don't worry."
She helped Emperor Hades for eight years, and it was for this reason that Emperor Hades trusted her so much.
"Wan Ling, please go back first. After I handle the matter in the Northern Dynasty, I will go to the Flower Kingdom to find you. Don't forget your promise to me, to make me a little prince."
She guessed that no war would start between countries at this time, because all countries needed to recuperate and would not foolishly take the initiative to start a war.
What she said to Queen Mother Huo was just because she didn't like her and wanted to give her a blow.
Although she has not caused trouble for so many years, she is not afraid of it either.
One month later, Mei Mansion.
Mei Yunfeng's daily routine is to go to the military camp to train soldiers, or to practice martial arts at home and sleep.
When he was too bored, he would practice calligraphy and write letters to his family, Feng'er.
On that day, the sun was shining brightly, and Prince Yu suddenly came to Mei Mansion to meet him for a drink and a game of chess. In fact, the drunkard was not interested in drinking.
It only took Wei Mingfeng three months to quietly withdraw from all her businesses in the Northern Dynasties. Even the supply to the army was suddenly cut off. No matter how strong the soldiers were, they could not last long without food in the rear.
Mei Yunfeng also entertained her with good wine and food, and played chess all day long. He seemed to be tireless, but Nangong Yu was tired from playing.
Nangong Yu came to him to find a way to solve the problem, but Mei Yunfeng pretended to be stupid and lived a happy life. A minister lived more happily than him, the prince, which really made him feel angry.
At this time, Nangong Yu said shamelessly: "Yunfeng, let Mingfeng think of another way. Now the treasury is empty. My father gave me so many soldiers, but I can't feed them. Mingfeng is smart, please write a letter." Give it to her and let her come back to help me."
"She said she wouldn't come back, and she didn't sell it to me. Even though she was his fiancée, she said that as long as she didn't get married, she wouldn't be under my control. Even if they were married, she wouldn't be under my control, so I have no choice but to let you stay in Kyoto and live a comfortable life."
Nangong Yu glanced at him and knew that Wei Mingfeng had this temper. When she helped the late emperor, she had no regrets, so why should she help them now.
Mei Yunfeng added: "She only asked the minister to ask the prince, whose idea was it to withdraw the troops from the Flower Kingdom? Whose idea was it to ask the Flower Kingdom to increase the tribute? After thinking about these two points, the prince naturally found a solution. Yes." Mei Yunfeng actually didn't want to embarrass him.
Nangong Yu has never felt such pressure. When the late emperor was here, he would review memorials and handle state affairs in the imperial study every day. He did not find it difficult. His task was to obey and execute orders.
