Yue Hongling originally didn't have high requirements for food, nor was she very interested.
In her early years, she had established a firm will under the guidance of Yue Shan, and ordinary material things could no longer seduce her.
If she wants money, Yue Shan can give her a lot of money. If she wants gold, silver, treasures, and rare treasures, Yue Shan is not without them, and Yue Hongling has enjoyed them all.
Because only after letting her enjoy it, her interest will weaken.
Wanting something but not having it cannot fully train a person's willpower. Wanting something but not having it can truly make a person have strong willpower.
However, after Yue Hongling ate roast duck and hot pot, she couldn't control her appetite and ate quite full.
He also took away two cooks.
The chefs in the East Palace have also been slowly guided by Xiao Yi, and now the meals they cook are more delicious.
The cook given to Yue Hongling is considered a cook and is ready to teach.
When Yue Shan learned about the East Palace, he was silent for a moment.
Finally, Yue Hongling was punished by standing still for an hour.
He slowly walked into his study with his hands behind his back.
To be honest, in the past, among the several princes, he was more optimistic about the third prince Xiao Zheng, who was brave, resourceful, benevolent and virtuous.
But now that His Highness the Crown Prince has appeared and taken direct control of the court with thunderous means, Li Linfu, who was suppressing him, could not even lift his head.
His heart was shaken.
For Yue Shan, the stability of Daqian is above all else.
The prince has the power to supervise the country and has the support of Xiao Di, which is even more justified.
The enthronement ceremony should be smooth in the future.
Xiao Zheng's words are very big obstacles.
The biggest enemy standing in front of him is His Highness the Crown Prince, followed by the great Confucians and ministers who abide by the ancestral system.
"well……."
In late autumn, the cold wind from the northwest whistled outside the palace. The soldiers guarding the palace with swords, like the vermilion pillars beside them, remained motionless in the cold wind.
The warmth in the warm pavilion of Xi Zheng Hall is as warm as spring. The surrounding ground dragons are burning hot air, which is transported into the hall through bamboo tubes. A layer of frost has already appeared on the glass windows.
Xiao Yi threw the memorial in his hand aside, with a gloomy face as ice, and asked Dai Guang, who was standing next to him, "Can't Longyou Road's disaster relief plan be fully implemented?"
It's almost the end of the year.
In a blink of an eye, it will be the early spring of next year, and then Longyou Road will definitely have large-scale spring plowing.
If good disaster relief strategies cannot be fully implemented, there will be no guarantee that spring plowing will start in full.
How much fertile land will be wasted?
When the autumn harvest comes, how much less food will be harvested?
In this era, farming basically depends on the weather. The yield per mu is not high, so it relies entirely on quantity.
An acre of fertile land left uncultivated will not feed many people.
Dai Guang said: "Your Highness, there are still some shortages in the manpower of Yushitai and Jinyiwei. Cai Shenzheng, Commander Lu and Fang Zhongcheng have tried their best, but the resistance of the officials and gentry on Longyou Road is too strong."
"Then let's cut through the mess quickly and create a bright world." Xiao Yi's face looked a little ugly and he put down the ink pen.
Jin Yiwei was originally a sword he raised. If this sword is not fast, what is the use of raising it?
The problem of Longyou Road must be solved before the end of the year, and then the court will directly arrange officials to take office to manage the entire Longyou Road.
At the beginning of spring next year, spring seeds will be distributed and large-scale spring plowing will begin.
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "Did Lu Ming and Fang Xuan have any secret messages?"
Dai Guang said cautiously: "Your Highness, no secret message has ever been reported."
Xiao Yi said: "Well, no matter what, Longyou Road must be thoroughly inspected and rectified before the end of the year, so that the people of Longyou Road can live peacefully for a year, and next year they can farm after the beginning of spring! "
The current situation is not optimistic.
Dong Zhuo from Jiangdong was the first to jump out, followed by others.
By then, there will be a lot of troops sent out to fight.
Longyou Road is his designated granary, so he must ensure that food can be supplied.
When Dai Guang saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked gloomy and in a bad mood, he felt a little scared and did not dare to say anything.
"You go down first." Xiao Yi said expressionlessly.
Dai Guang bowed and said, "Here."
Wait until Dai Guang leaves.
Xiao Yi summoned the Sanbao eunuch again.
"How is the progress of Dongchang's hidden pile plan?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.
The so-called hidden stake plan is to cultivate hidden stake organizations to insert and penetrate into the enemy's interior, such as the places of Meng Yuan, Beijin, and Beiyan, such as the palaces of the five border guarding princes, and the mansions of several prefects who support their troops and respect themselves.
Xiao Yi feels that if the hidden pile plan is implemented well, its future role will be immeasurable.
Eunuch Sanbao hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Highness, it is not easy to cultivate loyal secret agents. If you are not careful, some secret agents reveal their identity or rebel, they will alert the snake. When the time comes, they will There must be precautions.”
"If we want to arrange hidden stakes again in the future, it won't be so easy."
Xiao Yi said coldly: "That's because you don't have enough resourcefulness. When you are looking for a suitable hidden stake, you also need to find some people to plan for you. What about arousing the enemy?"
"Conspiracy, conspiracy, as long as it can be successful, then you can use it however you want."
The eunuch Sanbao bowed and said, "Here."
Xiao Yi said, raised his eyes and glanced at the vast sky outside, and said: "Do it well, I know you have a way, but there is still too little news about them now."
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in any battle. Only by understanding their movements and knowing their motivations and intentions can you plan ahead and solve the biggest hidden dangers at the minimum cost."
"The enemy of Da Gan is not inside, but outside!"
"Only by quickly stabilizing the internal situation can we take action against external troubles. Once the external troubles are solved, Daqian can achieve peace for a hundred years."
“Those who don’t plan for eternity are not enough to plan for one domain!”
Eunuch Sanbao's attitude became more respectful, and he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is wise, and I will do my best to complete the task."
Finished handling government affairs.
Xiao Yi returned to the backyard.
At this moment, in the palace in the backyard, the lights are brightly lit, and people are looking forward to it. The maids and eunuchs are standing under the pillars of the palace with their hands down, waiting for the nobleman's orders.
Li Qiuya wore a light yellow jacket and skirt. Under her rolled-up hair, her forehead was as bright as jade, and the sides of her cheeks were as bright as peach blossom petals. She looked at Xiao Yi lovingly in her phoenix eyes and gave a slight salute. Said: "Your Highness."
Xiao Yi sat down and said, "I have been busy with government affairs recently, so I have kept you waiting for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiuya was extremely moved and said: "Your Highness is dedicated to serving the country. No matter how long I have to wait, I am still willing to do it, which is even more natural."
There was a hint of smile on Xiao Yi's slightly tired face, and he said, "Well, with you by my side, no matter how tired I am, I can get a moment of relaxation here."
This is true.
For a person like Li Qiuya, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a green tea person.
But that's why she is so obedient to Xiao Yi now, really like a virtuous wife.
Xiao Yi also knew that this was an illusion, but no matter how false it was, it was still a real feeling.
Li Qiuya could see the fatigue in Xiao Yi's expression, she pursed her pink lips, stepped forward to massage him, and said softly: "Your Highness, no matter how busy the country is, you must pay attention to your own health."
Xiao Yi said softly "Yeah".
…
But on the other side, Li Linfu, the prime minister of Daqian who was on duty after Zhongshu's resignation, got into a sedan chair and headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion in Yong'anfang.
After returning to the mansion, I sat down in the study and thought about the court situation. At this moment, the dusk fell, and the old face of the Prime Minister of Daqian was shrouded in a dark shadow, while the old eyes in the sunken eye sockets flickered. .
When it was time to turn on the lamp, the maid took a fire stick and lit the candlestick in the study.
"Go and summon Liu Hui, Yang Zhao, Sima Yi, Yu Shiji and others." Li Linfu said suddenly.
The maid said yes, and then slowly exited the study.
Not long after, Liu Hui and others hurriedly entered the study, stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, please call me."
Li Linfu's old face showed a hint of thoughtfulness and said: "Where is His Highness King Yan now?"
Liu Hui's face paused, and Yang Zhao quickly said: "Hui Gongxiang, we have now arrived at the edge of the Yellow River. We will cross the Yellow River soon. It is estimated that we will return to the capital in seven or eight days."
Li Linfu asked again: "How is the war between Beiyan and Jin people?"
Liu Hui quickly said: "The stalemate remains. The Golden Thieves are still very strong. Murong Yin's two armies were stopped after several victories."
"What Murong Yin means is that he wants to borrow troops from Daqian and asks King Ning to lead troops out of the pass and together we can completely destroy the gold thieves."
Li Linfu's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "The prince has His Majesty's support. No matter how dissatisfied we are, now, I'm afraid we can't shake him at all."
"If you want to keep your official title, you must be obedient and wait for the opportunity."
"Until Lu Ming's Jin Yiwei returns to the capital, everything will be calm, but if Lu Ming's Jin Yiwei returns to the capital, there will definitely be a bloody storm."
"It's not like we don't have a chance."
"His Royal Highness King Yan will return to the capital soon, which will give you another way."
"Dong Zhuo's rebellion in Jiangdong has also made the prince tired of dealing with it. He will not rush to use the knife on you."
"However, it is only a matter of time before the prince takes action."
Li Linfu knew he couldn't wait any longer.
The prince has Xiao Di's support, and he and the prime minister cannot touch him.
The only people who can defeat the prince are the princes or princes like Dong Zhuo.
But if Dong Zhuo gains power, will the other party still accept him as prime minister?
Sima Yi said: "Mr. Prime Minister, the prince has now resorted to violent means to straighten the court. The people rely heavily on his virtues in rectifying corrupt officials. The people praise him and he is gradually gaining popularity."
So this is not something that His Majesty supports, but even the people are supporting the prince.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
As the prince becomes more and more popular, his prestige will become higher and higher, and more and more people will support him.
People like Di Yan and Fang Xuan took the initiative to stand up and support the prince.
It may not be that easy for His Highness King Yan to seize the throne.
"The hearts of the people." Li Linfu murmured a few words, frowned in the Chinese character "Chuan", and said after a moment of silence: "Nowadays, there are many rumors in the public that I am the traitorous prime minister of Daqian. There are countless slanders, and I have also heard about it."
"I'm afraid these rumors were deliberately made by someone."
"In that case, why don't you also ask someone to pass it on?"
Liu Hui said: "The method of the public minister is actually a good method. Rumors are spreading everywhere. It's not shit, it's shit."
"By then, if there are too many rumors and they are not true, people will become suspicious."
Yang Zhao also quickly flattered him.
Yu Shiji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly suggested: "Prince, the prince can let Di Yan and others impeach Zhu Mian. Can we join hands and impeach Fang Xuan and others? Since he is the censor Zhongcheng, he will go to Longyou Road to thoroughly investigate this time. , it seems that he has been reused, but has this person done anything wrong before?"
Yu Shiji whispered again: "Even if he doesn't, then we can make him 'make' big or small mistakes, so that he can no longer serve as the censor Zhongcheng."
Li Linfu thought for a while, nodded and said, "We can give this a try."
