Since the prince was ordered to guard Dongping Lane, the only outsider who can freely enter and leave the princess's house is Prince Fengge. He does not even need to notify when he enters Jiyue Pavilion. If Yuan Zhao is disheveled, Aunt Xia and Lady Yang will send someone to intercept him.

The so-called disheveled clothes are not considered neat even if she wears three layers of clothes as long as they are not formal enough.

It doesn't matter, she doesn't care what outsiders think, and she dresses casually in her own courtyard, causing Feng Pavilion to be often stopped outside the entrance of Jiyue Pavilion.

"How is Your Highness feeling? Is there anything you don't like in your daily life?" Meng Ke came with Fengge today. He was very concerned about Yuan Zhao's living habits, "How do you spend your daily life?"

"Back to Commandery Ma," the maid replied respectfully, "His Royal Highness daily practices music, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts. The most common thing is to play the Langya Qin and let the servants choreograph dances and sing songs..."

In addition, almost all the household items in the courtyard have been changed into different styles, including high-legged and short-legged. She seems to be very busy, but despite this, she still found time to draw a variety of headdresses, one of which is called curtain

Comb and give it to Funing.

He was taken out for a walk by Princess Funing, and became popular in the capital instantly.

"She seems to be living quite comfortably." Meng Ke smiled and felt more relaxed after hearing this.

He admired and cared deeply for this female general who shocked the Nine Provinces, fearing that someone would neglect her.

"Get rid of it." Fengge glanced at him, "She lives more comfortably than anyone else."

Even the emperor found it incredible after hearing his report, and was worried that she was living too freely and wasting her talents. Those who didn't know it thought she was living a miserable and poor life in captivity, but they didn't know that she had reached an agreement with Funing.

Other women were imprisoned and could only make a living through embroidery. She was different. Funing had a jewelry store, and she had a unique style.

By joining forces, the two of them made a lot of money and were very happy.

After Yuan Zhao ignored military affairs, he concentrated on renovating household items, and the work of the young manor became more and more. Rare things are valuable, and if there are too many objects, they will appear ordinary. The princes and nobles picked out the styles that suit their eyes, and the rest were passed down.

folk.

Gradually, some high chairs and stools became people's daily household items.

No, the prince and his horse are here today. They are sitting on high round stone benches and round stone tables. They are a little uncomfortable and feel that it violates the rules of etiquette. But Yuan Zhao is sitting there calmly and comfortably. If they are sitting on the ground, she will appear to be superior.

.

They both felt even more uncomfortable and simply sat together.

"Although Luo Yan is courageous and has ideas, she comes from a poor family, is naturally reverent of officials, and is serving as a general for the first time. How can she dare to kill the son of a courtier easily?" When he learned that Luo Yan had been found out, Yuan Zhao didn't take it seriously, "Say something.

If you are disrespectful, if she is really killed, Your Majesty may not be able to save her."

Can an official in charge of food and grass be an ordinary minister? But Luo Yan is only a guard, and she is a woman. Even if she becomes a military general, she is still just a military general.

Since the late emperor left, the status of civil and military officials in the court has become clearer, with military officials being more than half as short as civilian officials.

The generals are brave, but they are not as eloquent as the civil servants. Even if they are reasonable, they cannot defeat the civil servants in front of the emperor, and His Majesty is helpless.

Emperor Yongchang knew that he was not capable enough, so he asked his son King Jin to worship her as his teacher.

However, since she was imprisoned, the King of Jin probably heard something somewhere and made his position clear to Emperor Yongchang, not to come to her to learn skills for the time being.

Shaoyang camp is now in charge of the county prince, and it is the same for him to practice martial arts directly in the eastern suburbs.

Feng Ge conveyed King Jin's intention to Yuan Zhao, and she was noncommittal, saying just let it happen and not force it. In addition, she asked Luo Yan to pretend that Lord Shaoyang was Feng Ge's intention, hoping to scare away King Pingchuan.

As expected, the sight of the Shaoyang flag frightened King Pingchuan so much that he withdrew from Wancheng, and the court was extremely surprised.

But the good times didn't last long, and Luo Yan was found out.

The two of them came here today just to hear what she, the master, thought of this matter.

"Don't talk about her. If I hadn't relied on my friendship with His Majesty, how would I have dared to kill a general in front of the battle?" Yuan Zhao said frankly, "She can kill the enemy in battle. Unless the imperial court makes her a general, she will not be able to establish an army.

Wei, he can only serve as deputy general."

Not only Luo Yan, but also her fifth brother-in-law You Changgeng and her brother's deputy general Lu Zhi are also deeply feared. Unless the situation is urgent and there is no general in the camp, they will be allowed to temporarily take the position of chief general until the court sends someone to take over.

Lieutenant General.

Gu'er's father's lieutenant general Hong Fusui and others have been sent back to their place of origin to farm on the grounds of old age.

She and her third brother felt that rather than letting them stay in the army and be implicated by the Beiyue clan and never become generals, it would be better to go home and farm and spend their remaining years peacefully, so they did not try to persuade them to stay.

The current situation is in chaos, and heroes emerge from troubled times.

In addition to Daqi, Yanshu and Sanglan, even small countries such as the Zhu Kingdom also produced a brave and capable prince. In the Wuchu Dynasty, new generals went into battle. They died and fled; those who refused to escape fought and retreated.

, unwilling to fight.

The kings and ministers of Wu Chu knew in their hearts that the heroes of Feng Wu were in Dongping Lane.

But she is a woman, and she is from the royal family of the previous dynasty. In these troubled times, tens of thousands of troops are needed every time they go to war. How can anyone dare to let her take charge of a hundred thousand troops?

"Most of the officials in the court are in favor of peace talks," Meng Ke told her, "Peace talks with Qi must come at a price, and cession of territory and compensation are inevitable..."

They even concluded marriages and suspended the war.

"The relationship between in-laws is extremely weak, especially in the state of Qi. To marry them would be like taking the initiative to give face to others." In Yuan Zhao's view, entering into an in-law relationship is a marriage. "Please tell your majesty that you must consider it carefully."

…

In the palace, Emperor Yongchang looked at Fengge and Meng Ke and said in surprise:

"Did she really say that? No resentment?"

"I can't see that she has any resentment towards His Majesty," Meng Ke said truthfully, "but she is rather disapproving of the courtier's attitude."

He was ordered to go to Dongping Lane with the prince to test her attitude towards the court and the emperor. It didn't matter if she complained about the court, but it was understandable if she had complaints against the emperor. If the words contained hatred, even she would not be able to tolerate it even if she was a general.

"Well, she has never had a good look towards the ministers of the DPRK." Emperor Yongchang nodded, returned to the high dragon chair and sat down. Hey, his legs were stretched out and it was extremely comfortable. "You two think, let her control

Is there anything wrong with the soldiers?"

When Meng Ke heard this question in Feng Pavilion, he couldn't help but look at each other.

"I always believe that she values ​​love and righteousness, and she dare not rebel when the Duke is here." Meng Ke truthfully expressed his opinion.

Emperor Yongchang himself said these words more than once, and he was tired of hearing them. Seeing that Fengge remained silent, he pressed him:

"Zi Chen, what do you think?"

When Fengge asked, he could only say:

"I have the same idea as the ministers. It is indeed inappropriate to let her take charge of the army. It is a bit too risky..."

However, although Lingchuan was defended, Shanxi, Nanzhou, Yansai and other places have been lost, and they were all occupied by Qi State. The strength of Qi State cannot be underestimated. It not only sent heavy troops to invade Wuchu, but also had spare power to fight with Sang Lan

Join forces to attack Yan and Shu.

I heard that Yan and Shu could no longer hold out and requested peace talks with Da Qi.

If Qi, Sanglan and Yanshu form an alliance, even if Wu Chu negotiates peace with Qi and cedes territory to pay compensation, Qi will not give up.

It has coveted this land for a long time and will never let it go easily.

"It's better to let her quell the civil strife and stabilize the people's sentiments first, and then make plans." Feng Ge came up with a plan to delay the attack.

Before fighting foreign affairs, one must first settle the internal affairs and quell the civil strife. The news that Lord Shaoyang and the emperor have made peace may be able to calm the foreign countries that are about to make a move for a while.

When the time comes, whether it is fighting or negotiating peace, Wu Chu will not be too passive and let others decide.
