Tang Qianqian seemed to sneer, but responded: "Dorgon really meant this."

Liu Xundao: "That's clear. If we can't defend the poor land in Shanxi, we might as well give up, preserve our strength and accumulate strength. In the future, if Jianlu gets Shanxi, he will definitely attack Shandong. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos to seize Henan and occupy the prosperous Jiangnan?"

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "Then what is the difference between this and the Jianlu Alliance?"

"Whoever attacks him, and we will attack us, will we be an alliance?" Liu Xun said: "We can also kill the envoys of Jianlu as the prince said to show our determination to resist the enemy. But the enemy must also be tactical, first attack the south of the Yangtze River, guard the Yellow River, collect money and grain, and raise elite troops, so that we can have a chance in the future, right?"

Tang Feng said: "If you want to attack Jiangnan, you must first attack Henan. In fact, you will still attack Northern Chu by defeating the alliance. You will be defeated by Jianlu and attacking Guo."

"We must do both things to destroy Chu and fight against the enemy. The difference is nothing more than to destroy Chu first or fight against the enemy first. Could it be that one day when Northern Chu is in great power, can we let us go?"

Tang Feng hummed, and said nothing.

"Okay!" Tang Zhongyuan said: "If you discuss matters, just discuss matters. Boss, don't show your face in front of your Yue Weng. If you discuss this matter again, you will go down first... Lao Qi, stay, I will ask you a few words."

"yes……"

Tang Feng and Liu Xun retreated.

Tang Zhongyuan rubbed his forehead, cursed softly, "You're a broken emperor," and then asked, "Do you understand everything?"

"I understand." Tang Qianqian responded, her expression as if she was still thinking about something.

"The fake Taoist attacks Guo... The boss said it well." Tang Zhongyuan said: "What do you think should be done?"

"We can't defend Shanxi, so let Beichu help us guard..."

"You are wrong." Tang Zhongyuan said: "If you want to defend, it is not Bei Chu who helps us defend, it is us who helps him guard. Liu Xun said it very clearly. Dorgon was not here to beat us when he wanted to go to Shanxi, but to beat him."

"I don't think so..."

"No matter what you think, the place in Shanxi is withered, I don't want to guard it anyway. If Wang Xiao wants me to help him, take out some useful things... and send a few truckloads of food to send the beggars?"

"That was given to us mother and son. If the father wants food, he will send someone to trade..."

"Trade? Humph, listen to what you said."

"We all joined forces to fight against the enemy. Last year he went north to save his father. Now Jianlu wants to attack him, but his father wants to abandon the people under Shanxi and ask for benefits from his allies?"

"Stop talking about these useless things. Am I not loyal enough? I didn't even stab him when I was gnawing potatoes." Tang Zhongyuan said: "You write a letter to tell him that if I have no way to go, go to Henan to chop off his little emperor first. If he doesn't want to be finished, come over to negotiate terms with me and take a look at you mother and son. This is what he should do..."

Jinan.

Wang Xiao raised his hand and marked it on the map, murmured: "There is no soldiers to adjust."

"Of course there are no troops to adjust." Wang Zhu said: "The existing troops are not enough. Dezhou needs to defend, the Yellow River floods will be rescued, Henan needs to recover, Your Majesty needs to protect, and Xu Huai also needs to increase troops to station the guards... The stall is too big and it is difficult to get too tight."

"Then let's train a new army."

"Where does the population come from? Henan needs arable land, the Yellow River needs to be managed, and the people still have..."

"I know, I know, second brother, stop talking." Wang Xiao put down his pen and yawned again.

Wang Zhu said: "Don't be anxious, take your time. Now is the time to expand. After this year, you will surely achieve results."

"Hmm? Speaking of which, my second brother seems to be a little different recently?"

Wang Zhu's face turned pale and she stood up with her lips pursed.

"Since the official talks are over, say goodbye..."

"Second brother, wait, I'll go see you later."

Wang Xiao knew that Wang Kang had worked hard recently in order to prepare salt and Ruichao trade. Now Qian Chengyun and Wang Xian led the delegation and the caravan to Xi'an, so it was time to go over and ask my father for peace and say some words to his second uncle.

Wang Zhu said, "You can go by yourself, I still have something to do."

Wang Xiao turned around and looked at the sky, saying, "It's not too late to spend the meal with my father if you have anything to do."

"I don't want to have dinner with my father."

"If my second brother is gone, my father will talk to me. Let's go together."

"I think you're sleepy, next time."

Wang Xiao looked at Wang Zhu again and felt a little strange.

Then I felt that maybe I had a high position and power for a long time, and few people dared to reject me, so I felt that it was strange...

"Did your second brother hide something from me?"

"What can I hide from you?"

"Then go tomorrow."

"good."

Suddenly someone preached: "King Jing'an, Lord Zuo from the Military Affairs Office is here..."

"Let him come in."

After Wang Xiao gave the order, he said to Wang Zhu: "I have transferred Zuo Mingde back. I thought he would come to ask for a meeting tomorrow. Since I don't go to see my father today, I just happened to see him."

Wang Zhu nodded, picked up the tea on the table and took another sip.

After a while, Wang Xiao raised his eyes from the map and said in surprise: "Isn't the second brother wrong?"

"You don't have to worry about me before you finish the tea."

"oh……"

Zuo Mingde entered the lobby and keenly felt that King Jing'an was much more enthusiastic about him, so he even stood up and helped him personally.

"Speaking of this, I don't know what the word Mingde is?"

"The lower official character is Jue Xiu, the so-called "the way of the university is to understand the bright virtue". The upper character is Ming, which is the cultivation of the initial enlightenment, and the lower character is Ming virtue, which is the nature of the original enlightenment, so the elders give the word Jue Xiu."

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm transferred you back this time. I intend to set up another official school in Jinan, called the "Continuing School" to study for officials... Since ancient times, I can become an official after taking the imperial examinations. How to govern in the future depends entirely on personal understanding. But I don't think so. I think officials cannot only know the Four Books and Five Classics. So I must convey the experience of governing the government of each official as a discipline... You have served in the martial arts lecture hall, and I plan to leave this matter to you..."

Zuo Mingde knew that although this matter was small, it was an errand that was extremely beneficial to the future, so he quickly bowed deeply.

"The prince will never let down the prince's high expectations..."

"Okay, I have already set up regulations on how to do it. You can take it back and take a look..."

Wang Zhu finished drinking a cup of tea over there and got up to walk.

Suddenly, Wang Xiao asked Zuo Mingde again: "By the way, I heard that you have an engagement with Du Zhongsu's daughter?"

Du Zhenghe died in battle. After Zhou Yan ascended the throne, he posthumously awarded the title and was given the posthumous title of "Zhongsu".

Zuo Mingde fell a little sadly and saluted: "Yes."

Wang Xiao said: "I intend to simplify the mourning system, using the month to replace the year, so that the bereaved children only need to be mourned for three months. Do you dare to take the lead in breaking this etiquette and marry Du?"

Zuo Mingde was stunned and looked up at Wang Xiao.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and a sentence blurted out.

"King Jing'an said 'break ethics'? Then why not break 'parents' first, the words of the matchmaker'..."

"Hmph, I said it seems that if he didn't marry the Du family's daughter, I would marry him. I said everything, and I only treated him as my brother."

That night, Song Lan'er said this.

March is coming soon, and nearly three months have passed since New Year's Eve.

In the past three months of nineteen years old, she felt that there were some small changes every day...

Song Lan'er was standing on a trunk of a fallen tree and staggeringly walked around. Wang Zhu was holding a tree skill in his hand. He held one end and she held the other end.

"Are you jealous? You're actually eavesdropping on them."

"It's just that I haven't finished the tea, I just heard it."

"Tell me, my mouth is wrong..."

Song Lan'er took a few more steps on the trunk, but before grasping the balance, she simply jumped down, but she still held the branch in her hand.

The two of them walked along the Yellow River for a while with the branches.

"Actually, I don't think my parents' lives are bad." Song Lan'er suddenly said.

"Why?"

"At that time, your father proposed to my father. If you were forced to get married by him, you wouldn't have to blame yourself so much now..."

"I have nothing to blame myself."

"You obviously have it, you feel that you have let down your deceased wife."

Wang Zhu stopped talking again.

Song Lan'er hated him a little, and cursed softly, "Wang Xiaobei is really annoying."

"When your father comes back from Henan, I will go to your house to propose marriage." Wang Zhu suddenly said.
