No one would have expected that the battle at Wuyaguan would break out so suddenly and end so quickly.

No one would have expected that after Wuya Pass was recaptured by the Ning army, the cavalry in the Seven City Walled would be severely damaged.

Whether it is national strength or military strength, Wu State is above Ning State!

Especially Ningguo has not developed under Ji Tai's control in the past 20 years, but has fallen behind a lot.

In the eyes of Prince Wu Qian, Ningguo will be his primary goal after becoming emperor, and also a stepping stone for his name to go down in history.

After he easily captured Wuya Pass, this grand plan had been uncontrollably born in his heart, and it was gradually being perfected.

From Xiayuanzhou to Dongxu City in Kyoto, you must pass through Zhaohua City.

He came here after Gou Kuo's disastrous defeat in the Battle of Wu Ya Pass.

On this day, Zhaohua City closed the Sifang City Gate, which resulted in the battle report not being sent to Kyoto in time.

Gou Kuo needs to think carefully about how to write this battle report.

He lost Wuya Pass, and lost a full [-] elite cavalry... Such a result is enough for the emperor to chop off his head!

……

Prince's East Palace.

study.

Wu Qian poured two cups of tea and handed a cup to Prince An Wu Huan.

"Second Brother, how do you feel in Kyoto these days?"

Wu Huan took it with both hands, and his chubby face was full of smiles: "I haven't been back to Beijing for more than ten years. The changes in Kyoto are beyond my imagination, and I don't know how much more prosperous than my fiefdom!"

"These days, when I have free time, I wander the streets and alleys of Kyoto. One is to search for memories of the past, and the other is...to feel the power of our Wu country!"

"It's not that I'm flattering Your Highness, but I've heard many people praise His Highness in the streets and alleys or in teahouses and restaurants!"

Wu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became interested, "What did the common people say? Don't tell me the beautiful things, I want to know what the common people think!"

Wu Huan gave a thumbs up, and said very sincerely: "The eyes of the common people are discerning!"

"Don't look at them who haven't read much and are busy making a living all day long, but they know in their hearts who treats them well!"

"They say this is the luck of Wu!"

"Now there is the emperor who works diligently, and His Highness loves the people!"

"Wait next autumn, after His Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, our country of Wu will usher in another Mingjun!"

"I even heard from many people that Your Highness is young and powerful, and has great ambitions, and he will create a more beautiful Great Wu Dynasty!"

"They also said that life will get better and better in the future, because His Highness also loves his name like a son, and he won't see ordinary people living unhappily!"

This flattery without any trace made Wu Qian's heart sweeter than eating honey.

But he waved his hand very humbly, "Second Brother, it's all the common people's love!"

"Father often beats on the palace, saying that as the king of a country, he must have a clear understanding of the big picture, such as awareness and keen judgment of the situation in various countries."

"We must also be able to calm down and listen to the voices of the people, and know the sufferings of the people."

"Only by being clear can we formulate appropriate national policies and make the people richer and the country more prosperous!"

After saying this, Wu Qian waved his hand very modestly: "I haven't done enough!"

"too busy!"

"Look at the mountain-like memorial. I don't have a humerus minister like Wen Zhuyu in my hands. I am worried about many things that they will deceive."

"Royal father trusts me and entrusts the affairs of state to me, so there must be no mistake."

"Otherwise, if you go up, you will fail the father, and if you go down, you will miss the country, and then this palace will become a sinner of the state of Wu!"

Wu Qian took a sip of tea, put down the cup and stood up.

He walked two steps in the study with his hands behind his back, and then sighed leisurely: "Hey...we are brothers, so let's close the door and say something that shouldn't be said."

"Second Brother, in fact, I often look up at the starry sky at night and think of you."

"Actually, I really envy you all in my heart."

"As a vassal king, he has his own vassal land. Like the second emperor brother, he can relax in the mountains and rivers, and be intoxicated in poetry and articles."

"There are no endless official duties, and there are no problems that need to be solved all the time."

"This is the world of happiness!"

"It is said that the Son of Heaven is rich in the world... but no one knows how much the Son of Heaven has paid for the wealth of the world!"

"Hey……"

Upon hearing this, Wu Huan stood up quickly.

He bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is called hard work for those who can!"

"The minister is incompetent, so he can only eat and wait for death for the rest of his life!"

"But His Highness has great talent!"

"Father entrusts the country to your hands, and Wu will have a future and a better future... By the way, if His Highness needs someone who can help with trivial matters..."

"I dare not lie to Your Highness, but I have met some capable people and strangers over the years."

"There is one next to me. This person is named Huo Yizhen. He is thirty-two years old. This person has great talent!"

"He takes care of everything in the vassal's land. In just over half a year, he has managed the vassal's land in an orderly manner. If His Royal Highness needs it, I dare not hide his secrets, but I am worried that His Highness will think too much... ...This is how I judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"If Your Highness needs it, I can send this person to His Highness at any time!"

"In addition, Your Highness is familiar with Xian Youzhi, my teacher's teacher, a layman in that cottage, but these years, my teacher lived in seclusion in the thatched cottage at the foot of Jimo Mountain... If Your Highness also needs such an old man, I can see if I can invite him to come out of the mountain again. With the wisdom of my benefactor, I think I can still be competent as His Highness's staff."

Wu Qian turned around and looked at Wu Huan meaningfully.

He suddenly smiled: "Of course, Elder Xian is familiar with Confucianism in the Palace, but there are some political disagreements between Elder Xian and the Taifu... So, another day, after Father's birthday, you invite Elder Xian to come to the East Palace... No !"

"Take me to the thatched cottage."

The Taifu is another great Confucianist in the Wu Kingdom, that is, Yun Shuxian, the teacher of Prince Wu Qian.

The conflict between Yun Shuxian and Xian Youzhi is not a secret, of course Wu Huan knows it too.

He hastily bowed and saluted: "It's better for me to invite you to the East Palace, after all..."

Wu Qian waved his hand: "Mr. Xian is always talented. I thought about it, and listened to it. Different viewpoints may give me different inspirations."

"Xian Lao is already very old, so I should go and see his old man as I am."

Wu Huan pondered for three breaths, "Your Highness is as open-minded as a valley, I... admire you!"

Wu Qian waved his hand, "Then Huo Yizhen, if this person is really as you said...then I won't treat you politely, you let him come to the East Palace tomorrow, I will see how he is capable!"

Wu Huan bowed again: "Minister, obey your orders, His Highness, after using it, you should understand what I mean by fist!"

"Well, Father's birthday is approaching..."

Sitting in front of the tea table, Wu Qian raised his eyes to look at Wu Huan: "What is the birthday present that the second brother brought to the father?"

Wu Huan grinned: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty's fief is bitterly cold, but there is nothing good about it."

"I am thinking about it, my father intends to cut down the vassal. If the father really wants to take back the vassal land...then I will use that vassal land as a gift...but it depends on where I will live in the future. His Highness or Father's meaning."

"Oh……?"

Wu Qian was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that the Second Emperor's brother came to the capital for such a purpose.

Is he telling the truth?
He is afraid that he is advancing by retreating!
"Perhaps this gift can really please my father... This gift was given by the second brother in person at my father's birthday banquet. If my father accepts this gift, why should I worry about where I will live?"

He was carrying a pot of tea, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, I got a piece of news yesterday that my sister-in-law left Tianyin Pavilion and went to Tianshan, and Xia Hua became the Pavilion Master of Tianyin Pavilion."

"I was puzzled. I thought my sister-in-law went down to Tianshan to celebrate Father's birthday, but I didn't expect her to go to Ningguo..."

"In addition, the old master Qiu from Bailu Academy has also left!"

"Also go to Ningguo..."

"Tell me, what are they doing in Ningguo?"

"It's been four months since Li Chen'an entered Wangqingtai, this fellow must die inside!"

"Even if they didn't die, Ningguo doesn't have Li Chen'an... What else can attract them to go?" (End of this chapter)
