Chapter 228
When Su Nancheng was called into the palace, he was taken directly to the imperial garden.

This is because no matter the old emperor or the new emperor, they all like to talk in the imperial garden.

Now at the beginning of May, it is the time when the flowers are red and the willows are green.The Imperial Garden was also tossed a little by the Beiyi people, but at that time they were mainly catching people and taking things, and no one cares about the flowers and plants here.So after a little tidying up, it's back to normal.

However, when Su Nancheng arrived, he saw not only the emperor in the pavilion by the lake in the Imperial Garden from a distance.

And a woman in an ivory dress.

Su Nancheng is only regarded as the emperor's concubine.

The Crown Princess Han committed suicide in order to avoid the Beiyi people.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he didn't have a queen, so he couldn't be so fast.We always have to wait until the late emperor's filial piety period has passed.

But he has other women, more than other princes, three or four.Su Nancheng only thinks of those people.

As a result, when he went up, he was surprised to find that this person was an acquaintance, Yu Guang.

This person was not sent to the old emperor immediately after being taken away by the eldest princess, so he needed to be trained.She is also young.

As a result, if you come and go again and again, you will be delayed.

The eldest princess only brought people into the palace in the past few days and left them directly to the current emperor.

Su Nancheng didn't know about this yet.

At this time, he saw Yu Guang's attire, if it wasn't a girl, it was a concubine.

So he cupped his hands and said, "I send my greetings to Your Majesty, and to your empress."

"Come and sit with the jade." Emperor An laughed.

Su Nancheng thanked him and sat down.

Yu Guang chuckled: "Concubine is not a concubine, Master Su, don't call her that in the future."

"Hehe, this is Yu Meiren." Emperor An smiled and said, "I can't enter the harem even during the filial piety period. I just asked Yu Meiren to come and sit with me and have a cup of tea. Now Chiyu you come, it's good. Yu Meiren you Come back first."

Yu Guang got up, saluted and left without any hesitation.

The already stunning person, after half a year of training at the eldest princess's residence, lost the rough skin caused by the escape and the sallow and emaciated complexion caused by hunger.Some withered and yellow hair.Even more beautiful now.

As expected, the pearl was not covered with dust.Such a woman, no wonder Emperor Andi also accepted it during the filial piety period.Even when entering the palace, she was sealed as a beauty.

What he said was nothing more than telling Su Nancheng that I have no time to prostitute myself.

But this kind of thing, as long as Xiaoqi doesn't produce children, the ministers don't care.It's just that the first emperor's visit can really see the eagerness of the eldest princess.

After Yu Guang left, the monarchs and ministers talked about the current state affairs.Because of the emperor's reliance, he would tell Su Nancheng many things now.

First of all, he talked about the matter in the north, drove away the Beiyi people, and wanted to guard the two gates again.

The destroyed city gates and walls must be repaired, and there are destroyed towns everywhere... There is always a word, money is needed.

He also said that Northwest Yun Zhishen asked to be crowned king, the emperor frowned deeply, obviously very displeased.Fortunately, the emperor is not the blind and confident character of the first emperor.

He knows he can't afford it now.Jinzhou is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you are in a hurry, you can't take it down, and then attract the Beiyi people?
"Chiyu, what do you say about the current situation?" The emperor left Su Nancheng to speak.

He wasn't just asking questions, but just chatting with Su Nancheng.

"I don't know much about military affairs, but it would be a good thing if Jinzhou can be stabilized. It's time for General Xu to return to court." Su Nancheng reminded.

General Xu...

But let alone Jinzhou, in a year or two, Ganyang Mansion will become its own school.

The emperor sighed and looked at the sky outside: "What Chiyu said is true, but at the moment, people in the court disagree. It is not easy for the army to rectify the north."

"There have been disasters in the north for years, and now the Beiyi people have temporarily retreated, but I don't know when they will come back. The most important thing now is to strengthen the Xiongshan Pass and Jinshan Pass. The generals guarding the pass must be carefully selected. And the guards are short Military pay and rations, we can't delay any longer,"

Su Nancheng sighed and shook his head: "Now the national treasury is empty, and it can no longer withstand consumption. It must take a few years to recuperate. Otherwise, the people will no longer be able to withstand such a heavy pressure. The Northwest Army is stationed in Ganyang Mansion. It has not seen an inch of merit, but it has consumed the local area. Taxation is not a long-term solution. What's more, after a long time, it will be a serious problem."

"What you said is that I didn't sleep last night, and I was thinking about it too. However, once I am transferred from the Northwest Army, I am afraid that Jinzhou will cause chaos if there is no suppression." Emperor An nodded.

"Ganyang Mansion certainly can't withdraw all the troops, but if His Majesty agrees to grant Yun Zhishen the kingship, half of the Northwest Army can withdraw. The southern army led by General Xiang is not suitable for the weather in the north, not to mention that the south is unstable now. It won't last long Stay in the north and not go back. Most of the Northwest Army was drawn from the north, so it is better to let more than half of them return to their original places. You can also transfer some to the two major passes in the north."

"You're right." An Di nodded.

"Although I'm in the city defense battalion, I don't have any experience in leading troops to fight. Everything I said is just superficial knowledge. Your Majesty still needs to listen to the generals. However, I feel that if Yun Zhishen wants to be the prince , then you have to follow the rules of the prince. There is no prince in my court who supports himself. Even if he can't be asked to disband the army, he can't be asked to expand any more." Su Nancheng said.

Emperor An hummed: "Are you tired these days? You have taken care of many things in the capital. I know it in my heart. Ever since I became the throne, there have been funerals one after another. The day before yesterday, I dreamed of the queen. "

The queen he was talking about was his wife Han Shi.He is the posthumous queen.

"She looked at me, her face was full of tears, and when I woke up, it was also full of tears. Now that I think about it, how many people in this world are full of tears every night. The north has been made like this, and I am heartbroken."

"Your Majesty must not think like this. These things are not your Majesty's fault. The matter has come to this point, and His Majesty will make up for it with your heart. The spirits of the late emperor and all the late emperors can see it. You just need to do your best." Su Nancheng said.

To be honest, the emperor now looks like he is trying his best to govern.

But this is just enthroned, as long as it is not Haihunhou, then no one can do more than 1000 wrong things after being enthroned for a month.

If you look at it for a long time, Su Nancheng doesn't really believe how diligent and caring the old emperor's son will be.

When leaving the palace, a young eunuch caught up to Su Nancheng: "Your Excellency, please stay."

"Who is this father-in-law?" Su Nancheng was surprised.

The eunuch laughed: "The servant is the person in front of Yu Meiren."

Su Nancheng nodded.

The person around who was going to see Su Nancheng off stepped aside.

The eunuch caught up and said with a smile: "Yu Meiren has a letter for your servant to hand over to you."

To be honest, Su Nancheng didn't want to accept it, this kind of private giving and receiving is easy to cause accidents.

"Don't worry, my lord, the beauty is kind to the servant, and the servant is willing to die. You just accept it."
