The beginning of May is the most comfortable time in Yujing City.

Especially in the evening.

The weather is neither hot nor cold.

The air is neither dry nor dry.

The annoying cicadas haven't woken up yet, and although there are mosquitoes, there are still very few.

The lotus flowers in the lotus pond where I live quietly are all in bud.

Green leaves have covered the pond, and the pink flower buds are swaying slightly in the evening breeze. A dragonfly lands on the pointed lotus buds and sways along with the lotus buds.

Wen Boyu stood by the pond, looking at the red dragonfly resting on a lotus bud under the setting sun.

Su Yian and Nian Chengfeng were in the pavilion behind him.

There are four dishes and a jug of wine on the table in the pavilion.

Su Yian turned around and looked at Wen Boiyu's back, feeling very heavy.

He arrived in Kyoto in early April.

Now, he has taken over the position of Cheng Jingting, Duke of Cheng State, and has become the minister of Ning State.

It can be said that you reach the sky in one step.

But the ministers in the court had no complaints.

Because he was invited by the regent!

Also because he was a great scholar from the Ning Kingdom and had a noble character. Twenty years ago, he was even a colleague with many people.

In the past month, Su Yian also integrated into the temple.

He has deeply understood the essence of the regent's changes. He was about to flex his muscles to realize his ideals and ambitions, but unexpectedly... just a few days ago, he received an urgent message from Si Feige in the Imperial City.

information--

Regent Li Chenan, he died in Xishan, Chongqing Mansion...

What the hell!

Wen Boyu told him before that the Regent's policy was a series of reform policies!

The current five-year plan is just the beginning.

In the future, when the regent returns to Kyoto, there will definitely be more policies that are beneficial to the people and the country.

But now, he is dead!

If he dies, no one in Ning will be able to take charge according to his ideas.

Then there is no future!

pity!

That kid is only eighteen years old!

What a pity that boy has such amazing talent!

"This is probably because God is jealous of talented people!"

Su Yian poured three glasses of wine, sighed, and added: "But it's strange to say that the regent is dead. Shouldn't his body be sent back to Kyoto for a state funeral according to etiquette?"

"Why was it buried in that desolate place in Xishan with such a careless design?"

Wen Boyu came over.

There was no sadness on his face.

Instead, there was a smile.

He sat at the table and looked at Su Yian, "Xu is the eldest son of the emperor. Come, have a drink and don't talk about him anymore!"

Nian Chengfeng glanced at Wen Boiyu suspiciously, picked up the wine glass, and said instead of asking Li Chenan about:

"How much do you know about this emperor's eldest son?"

"Drink first!"

The three of them had a drink together.

"When it comes to understanding the eldest son of the emperor, I really don't know much."

"His name is Xiao Wu. He is disabled... He cannot hear or speak. He is a disciple of Divine Doctor Sun, a disciple of Chang Sun Tiexian."

Su Yian was startled, "Well, how will he communicate with the ministers when he is the emperor?"

"He can read and write."

"..."

Su Yian wanted to say that there have been various emperors throughout the dynasties, but there has never been a deaf-mute emperor.

Wen Boyu took the jug and poured wine while saying:

"He is a close friend of the Prince Regent, which is a great blessing!"

"I dare to say that in today's meeting, just think about it carefully."

"Think about it, Xiao Wu is the eldest son of the emperor, and the regent went to Xishan just to pick him up."

"The regent was killed in Xishan, and Xiao Wu's life experience was revealed. Although there is no necessary connection, the trip to Xishan cleared the last obstacle for Xiao Wu to become the emperor!"

Nian Chengfeng stroked his short beard and asked, "Did you kill Concubine Li?"

"right!"

"In this way, no one in the palace can threaten Xiao Wu's ascension to the throne... As for the third prince, I think that when Yan Jidao goes to the Red Flame Army, he will give the court an explanation."

"Even if Yan Jidao, the uncle, can't do it, Ning Zhiyuan will never be able to return to Kyoto."

"Xiao Wu has become the emperor, and the person he should be most grateful to is the regent."

"In addition to the kindness Zhongli Mansion has shown him over the years... I dare to say that he will not deny the regent's national policies!"

Su Yian frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyebrows widened after a moment.

He figured it out——

When Xiao Wu ascended the throne as emperor, he relied on the power of Zhongli Mansion.

It was the brotherhood of the Prince Regent that he had to thank.

The most important thing is that Xiao Wu has no one to rely on, whether in the court or among the people!

Even if he had a taste of power and wanted to do something, Wen Boiyu was not an easy person, and Marquis Dingguo was not a soft-hearted person.

If Xiao Wu was smarter, he would definitely not deny Li Chenan.

He should get closer to the ministers in the court to maintain his dignity as the emperor.

Of course, as the eldest son of the emperor supported by the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, Wen Boyu would not take the initiative to conflict with the new emperor.

So the best case scenario is that the emperor is comfortable as his emperor, and the three provinces, six ministries and all officials will still implement the five-year plan formulated by the regent.

Of course it would be best if you can have fun with it.

If the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, and both sides can live in peace, then at least there will be no harm to Ning Guo.

Su Yian figured it out.

Nian Chengfeng also figured it out.

The three people raised glasses to mourn Li Chenan's passing and set the tone for the great things to be done in the future.

"I'm afraid the news from Annan Province will come back in the next few days."

Wen Boyu put down the cup, with a hint of worry between his brows, and said again:

"That guy Wu Qian is a character."

"What I'm most worried about is that the Red Flame Army left Wuya Pass and that kid took advantage of it!"

"Calculating according to time, the boy arrived at Wuyaguan almost exactly when the Red Flame Army left..."

"If he led the 80,000-strong army from Wu State's Zhaohua City to attack and took advantage of the opportunity to capture Wuya Pass, even if Yan Jidao had stopped the Red Flame Army in time, seized the command of the Red Flame Army, and then returned to Wuya Pass,

Yiguan... I'm afraid it won't be that easy to take it back."

Nian Chengfeng nodded, "I feel that there is something wrong with the command authority of this army."

"Last year's incident in Kyoto, the Red Flame Army came to Kyoto."

"This time, the Red Flame Army left Wuya Pass without authorization and ran towards Kyoto..."

"After all, there is a problem with the control of the military. I'm afraid we need to work out a good way to solve this problem."

Wen Boyu nodded slightly, "Yeah, but how to weigh it, I need to think more about it."

"It would be great if that boy was here!"

"He must have good ways to restrain the army, and he must also have good ways to build the army."

Nian Chengfeng also sighed. He drank a glass of wine and suddenly asked:

"Tell me, is that kid still alive?"

Su Yian was startled, Wen Boyu sighed for three breaths and revealed a wry smile:

"If he was still alive, how could the fourth princess Ning Chuchu go to Mobei!"

Su Yian asked: "Where is Miss Xiao?"

"It is said that he was heartbroken and went to Wanxi Zhai alone."

"Oh...then he is really dead."
