Four hundred and ninetieth chapters the battle of the harem

Seeing Pang Gang's face unhappy, Li Yan still raised his head and said, "Prince, it's not that I am accusing you on purpose, but that's the case. I have to report it according to the truth."

"Report it according to the truth?" Pang Gang felt sick, thinking that he was not surprised that you would have been caught by Li Zicheng in history. In love, you have a high IQ, but your emotional intelligence is not very good. But looking at Li Yan's serious expression, Pang Gang had to ask helplessly: "Okay, then you can tell me, what good suggestions do you have?"

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "The prince made his fortune in Shandong. In the pre-Qin period, King Wu of Zhou destroyed Zhou Zhou, and the world changed its status. King Wu first appointed Jiang Taigong, who had assisted meritoriously, and King Wu's younger brother, Duke Zhou, was granted Lu. Confucius came from Shandong, so he had the reputation of "simplifying the etiquette because of his customs, simplifying the etiquette", "referring to the wise and valuing merits", and "carrying the crown and wearing clothes to walk around the world". Now the prince is about to ascend to the great treasure to establish the new dynasty, so the country's name must be more cautious, so... stop and stop... stop and stop!" Hearing this, Pang Gang couldn't help feeling a little painful, and quickly interrupted Li Yan's words and said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about those useless things for now. Let's talk about it for a long time. I just want to ask you, have you come up with a good country name?"

"Of course, the students also came up with a national name." Speaking of this, Li Yan's spirit was also boosted and said, "Students think that those who are kings must have a world of mind. "The Book of Rites. Qu Li" says: Those who are kings are beautiful. Hua is an exquisite thing. Therefore, students think that the name of our country is "Hua", which should be very suitable. I wonder what the prince thinks?"

After saying that, Li Yan looked at Pang Gang with anticipation.

"Hua... Dahua... Hua!" Pang Gang murmured for a few words and then stopped talking. His own nation is called the Chinese nation, and the country is called Huaguo. Dahua seems to be good.

Thinking of this, Pang Gang felt a little moved. After all, the national name of Dahua gave him a more familiar and intimate feeling.

However, as a superior, he naturally could not express his preferences so easily. Pang Gang did not immediately agree with Li Yan's words, but looked at everyone again and asked loudly: "Li Zanhua proposed to set our country name as the word "Hua". What do you think?"

"magnificent....."

After hearing this, everyone glanced at each other for a few seconds. Dazhuang took the lead and said, "Prince, I am a rough man. I don't understand what you want to get the national name. As long as you think it's good, it's OK. We have no objection!"

"Where are you? They all agree with Lord Huang's words?" Pang Gang's eyes slowly glanced among the generals, and the generals sitting next to Da Zhuang nodded silently. Anyway, for those who do not have much culture, it is not a national name. It is okay to call it Amama and Agou. As long as you have a name, they are not as sour as those literary literati. They have to pay attention to the situation or the co-production. That is not what our military people do.

"Well, the military man voted for it, and then it depends on those civil officials." Pang Gang turned his attention to Wei Tongnian again. Since Wei Tongnian was considered an old qualification among civil officials, he was fair in daily life, both in person and in official positions. He was also his own cheap father-in-law, and Wei Manzi gave birth to a son for Pang Gang. After Pang Gang ascended the throne, the position of the crown prince might fall on him in the future. Therefore, those civil officials had a vague momentum of being led by him.

Although Pang Gang also saw this phenomenon, he did not want to change or correct it. After all, party disputes have existed since ancient times, and no dynasty or era has ever been able to truly prohibit it. How could Pang Gang be exempted from the common people?

When everyone's eyes were staring on Wei Tongnian's face, Wei Tongnian's eyes also stayed on Pang Gang's face. Wei Tongnian also noticed that when Li Yan said the word "Hua", Pang Gang's expression soon showed a look of satisfaction, which shows that he was satisfied with the national name Pang Gang. Since this is the case, does he have any reason to object?

"I am very satisfied with Mr. Li's proposal. The word "Hua" not only expresses the meaning of my great men, but also possesses the essence of my Confucianism. Therefore, I have no objection."

Wei Tongnian's statement almost represented the opinions of the civil servants, and the next thing was easier to handle. The civil servants also expressed their support for the national name, so the national name was settled.

After setting the national name, Pang Gang was in a good mood and looked at Li Yan with a smile and said, "Li Zanhua, the national name you proposed today has been approved by everyone, and it can be regarded as a meritorious person. I have always been generous in rewarding people who have made meritorious words. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

As soon as Pang Gang said, everyone looked at Li Yan with envious eyes immediately. This is the boss's promise. With this promise, as long as your request is not too excessive, Pang Gang will generally agree.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan just shook his head and said, "Prince, you are so humble and grateful to your good intentions. You just have a name. How dare you ask for rewards?"

"Haha!" Pang Gang smiled. Unexpectedly, Li Yan was still a gentleman who was not greedy for rewards. After thinking about it, Pang Gang said, "Although Jingbai, you are not greedy for rewards, I can't just let it go. Otherwise, how can everyone obey me in the future? Let's do this, I will reward you with 5,000 silver this time... At this time, Li Yan interrupted him in an untimely manner and interrupted, "Prince, please wait!"

Pang Gang's eyes froze, and he looked at Li Yan with some dissatisfaction and said, "Well, Jingbai, are you okay?"

Li Yan stood up with courage, bowed to Pang Gang and said in a deep voice: "If the prince really wants to reward the student, then the student is willing to exchange this reward for a person's life. Please be kind to him!"

As soon as Li Yan said something, Pang Gang's face began to change. He saw his face sinking. For a moment, the air around him seemed to be a little cold. Everyone was silent and did not dare to speak. No one here was fool. They immediately thought of who Li Yan was going to plead for.

Pang Gang was silent for a while before slowly saying: "Jingbai, it's not easy for me to promise you a reward. Are you sure you really want to plead for someone who has framed you?"

Li Yan shook his teeth, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes, and then nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, the student is sure. Although he is sorry for the student first, the student can be unkind after all, but the student cannot be unrighteous. Should the student decide to save him this time? In the future, he will have nothing to do with the student."

The destruction of Li Yan and Niu Jinxing was already known by the confession of some prisoners in the Dashun Army, and naturally everyone here would not understand. Niu Jinxing repeatedly wanted to murder Li Yan, but in the end Li Yan still wanted to protect him. Everyone didn't know what to say at this moment.

Pang Gang shook his head helplessly. This man, who had obviously had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands in history, did not hesitate to drink the poisonous wine given by Li Zicheng after Li Zicheng ordered him to commit suicide. This shows his stupidity and loyalty.

OK. Although this person is foolish and loyal, the person who is the one who is the one who is most admired and loved by the superiors. Pang Gang sighed and shook his head and said, "Okay, since you insist on doing this, I won't be able to force you." Speaking of this, Pang Gang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's do this, you will take my hand order to prison and bring Niu Jinxing to the prison, and give him a sum of money to let him go home to retire. If I see him in the enemy camp next time, there will be no such cheap thing, do you understand?"

Hearing that Pang Gang agreed to his request, Li Yan also looked excited on his face, and he bowed and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your kindness!"

Pang Gang waved his hand and said disrespectfully: "Okay, don't thank me. Remember, there are a few days left to be the abdication ceremony. There are so many things in abdication. You and Wen Renjun must assist Lord Wei in doing this. Do you understand?"

"Cao. This kid is so lucky. He can actually assist Lord Wei in organizing the abdication ceremony. This is a great honor." The officials around him looked at Li Yan differently at this time.

Li Yan also knew that Pang Gang was giving him a face at this time, so he immediately said seriously: "Yes, the students will live up to your responsibilities. We must cooperate with Lord Wei and prepare this abdication ceremony!"

"Well, it's okay, you go down first!" Pang Gang nodded, waved his hand to signal Li Yan to go down. But Li Yan didn't go down. He still stood there and looked at him. Now Pang Gang was anxious and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Jingbai, do you have anything to do?"

Li Yan bowed again and said, "Since the prince ordered the students to cooperate with Lord Wei to organize the abdication ceremony, the student had to ask the prince for advice if there was something."

"What's up?"

Li Yan stared at Pang Gang and said word by word: "Since the prince wants to ascend to the great treasure, no one in the harem can be left uninhibited. I heard that the prince has five wives and concubines. Oh, by the way, there are Princess Kunxing whom the Supreme Emperor gave marriage. Then there are six in the prince's harem. I wonder which one the prince plans to establish as the lord of the harem?"

As soon as Li Yan said this, everyone around him started to talk about it. This matter was actually something that everyone was very concerned about. Pang Gang was about to become the emperor, so as their subordinates, they naturally faced the problem of standing in the team. Since ancient times, standing in the team is a very mysterious and important science. If you stand well, you will be at your fingertips, and you will be able to gain wealth in the future. However, if you stand in the wrong way, you will be sent to your house, search your house, or even be destroyed, it is not a rare thing.

Although Pang Gang is less than 30 years old now, it seems that living for decades is not a big problem, but queuing is better than queuing later. If you can queue up early, it will be a great thing for you.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Pang Gang with a gaze, looking forward to his revealing the candidate for the future queen of the palace.

Pang Gang also saw the eyes of everyone, but he also had his own difficulties. Everyone knows that there are only two candidates for the future Empress of the Palace. One is Kong Ruolan, who first married Pang Gang, and the other is Wei Manfeng. Apart from this, no one is qualified to move into the Palace. As long as Pang Gang personally tells the candidate for the Empress of the Palace, then the future Emperor of Dahua will definitely be her son.

But the problem now is that Pang Gang doesn't want his subordinates to intervene in the dispute in the harem so early, and Pang Gang is not interested in the rules of passing on the legacy of the emperor but not the heirs in later generations. The emperor's errand cannot be done by a good man, so he must have real talent and knowledge, otherwise the whole country will be unlucky.

Under the eyes of everyone, Pang thought for a while and said this: "I have already made a decision to choose this official palace. The harem will set up two official palaces, divided into two palaces, the same size as two palaces."

"What?"

"absurd!"

As soon as Pang Gang said, everyone was shocked and set up two main palaces? This kind of thing has never happened in ancient times. Can it be done?

"Prince, this... is too ridiculous." Li Yan was also thrust by Pang Gang's words and stuttered: "As the saying goes, there are no days. There are no two masters in the people. How can there be two main palaces in the harem? Isn't this a mess?"

The people around him also started to persuade him, and even Dazhuang advised: "Yes, prince, if two main palaces are established in this harem, if there is a dispute in the future, who will be respected by the imperial edict, wouldn't it be a mess? Let's not talk about the harem. Just say that the people of the people still have a big wife and concubine at home. Wouldn't you be messing around like this?"

Among the people, Wei Tongnian was the only one who said nothing. First, his father-in-law was more sensitive and he should avoid such things. Second, he was afraid that Pang Gang would misunderstand if he was randomly interrupted.

Seeing everyone's unanimous opposition, Pang Gang felt a little unhappy and glared at everyone with dissatisfaction, "You are really, it's my family matter to set up a few main palaces in my harem. But you, you are worried about eating carrots and having to worry about everything if you really have nothing to do. Don't make things difficult for the king here!"

"You... Seeing Pang Gang so rogue, everyone couldn't help but feel angry. They all said that the Tian family was selfless, how could such a big thing as a queen be said to be your family matter? This is the establishment of the future mother of the nation, and it is not just a few you want to establish.

Seeing that everyone was about to give advice, Pang Gang was annoyed for a moment. He looked big and shouted angrily: "If you complain again, I will appoint Princess Kunxing as the lord of the harem. What do you think?"

"What? This is absolutely impossible!"

When everyone heard this, they were almost scared to death. If Princess Kunxing was appointed as the queen of the main palace, then if she gave birth to a prince in the future, what's the difference between it and the Zhu family re-entering the country?

If Princess Kunxing's son takes up the throne in the future, can these ministers who overthrew his grandfather's country in the past have good fruits? This is absolutely impossible!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get anxious. In the end, they had no choice but to compromise helplessly. Okay. Since the boss wants to set up two palaces in the east and west, he has to go. As for the matter of enthroning the crown prince, let's talk about it later...

Just when Pang Gang was busy with the abdication ceremony and the enthronement of the queen, Hong Chengchou also led an army of 20,000 to return to Jinling in a mighty manner.

Due to Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, Jinling was already in chaos at this time, and outside the camp in the western suburbs, it turned into a sea of ​​corpses and blood due to the war.

Due to Ding Qun's tenacious resistance, Zuo Liangyu's 50,000 army did not go smoothly. It had been attacking for two days, but the camp in the western suburbs was still standing in place. Although countless soldiers shouted slogans to launch attacks, each attack gained nothing except leaving hundreds or thousands of corpses.

"Brothers, rush!"

"kill!"

Outside the camp in the western suburbs, teams of soldiers held up ladders, wooden boards and shields, and rushed towards the camp, but they were shot back by the crossbow behind the camp...

Zuo Liangyu stood four hundred steps away from the camp, looking at the camp ahead with a calm face. It was this camp that blocked his 50,000 army for two days. After losing nearly 10,000 troops, he still gained nothing, which also made Zuo Liangyu feel extremely frustrated.

Seeing that the attack ahead was not good, Zuo Yuliang, who had been standing behind Zuo Liangyu, couldn't help but persuade: "My father, my brothers have been fighting for two days and have been exhausted physically and mentally. If you continue to attack forcefully, you may be exhausted. Why don't we transfer the troops deployed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to attack them again? What do you think?"

"No!" Zuo Yuqing, who was standing aside, immediately objected: "Not to mention the time-consuming and laborious transfer of Jiangsu and Zhejiang personnel, it is too late. If we transfer them, our control over Jiangsu and Zhejiang will quickly drop to freezing point, and our efforts over the years will be in vain."

Zuo Yuliang sneered: "Second brother, don't forget that if we can't remove this nail left by Hong Chengchou in the shortest time, what's the use of no matter how many troops we stay in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? Did you just give up Jinling like this?"

The importance of the location of Jinling is naturally unquestionable. Besides, the city of Ming Dynasty is probably the most important. Besides, there is a complete team in Jinling City, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the second court. Although Emperor Chongzhen announced his abdication, as long as he controls this team in Nanjing, Zuo Liangyu can control the emperor to command the princes. Zuo Liangyu naturally would not miss this benefit.

Although Zuo Yuliang is a rough man and is not as scheming as Zuo Yuqing, his words make a lot of sense. Zuo Yuqing was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Seeing Zuo Yuqing being choked by him and unable to speak, Zuo Yuliang, who was very surprised to breathe, couldn't help but feel proud. He glanced at Zuo Yuqing with a provocative look before saying to Zuo Liangyu: "My father, I'll ask you to make the decision on how to decide!"

Zuo Liangyu seemed to have not seen the two fighting openly and secretly, but just looked at the soldiers who were still rushing forward and were knocked back, their dark eyebrows kept shaking, and the wrinkles on their foreheads also turned into a Sichuanzi!!!!
