"Master...is he still alive?"

Su Yan asked this question and felt it was not appropriate, so he had to turn his face away and asked as if he hadn't asked.

Li Yannian said: "Your Majesty, no one knows whether the vanguard general is alive or dead."

Yuan Bolang glared at Li Yannian. Since you didn't even know whether he was alive or dead, you still came to talk nonsense. Isn't this not to feel happy about yourself? Everyone knows that the new emperor's feelings for Liu Wenyan are very complicated. He respects them and hopes to break away from the control and fly high as soon as possible.

Liu Wenyan's death is a relief for the new emperor.

"Oh! It's been a long time since I met the master." Su Yan looked at Xue Jing and sighed, "It's been four or five months. Before he left, he had seen me in a hurry, and I didn't go to see him. Who would have thought that it would take half a year to leave, and I'm afraid I'll never see him again."

Yuan Bolang bowed and said, "Prince, please feel sorry for me."

Su Yan glanced at Yuan Bolang in surprise and said, "Suang Yuan, don't you want your master to be alive?"

Li Yannian was still holding the letter. Su Yan wanted to take it and check it out, but he still didn't.

"When it snowed last year, I was in Xuzhou City, and it was also so heavy snow outside. I really wanted to go out and play for a while. But I didn't feel that way. The master said he was coming, but how could he wait? The master still didn't return to Xuzhou City after all. The master owed me a promise."

When Su Yan said this, his face also sobbed a little.

"But the master still helped me to pacify the world and stabilize my throne. He was a hero of the Dashun Dynasty."

After hearing this, Yuan Bolang felt unhappy.

It is well known that Liu Wenyan is abusing his power. What made Yuan Bolang be worried about was that Liu Wenyan interfered in the selection of a concubine in the new emperor and replaced the candidate for the best queen he thought in the future. And the current queen Sun Xiaoyu is just a vase decoration after all. It is not enough to be a mother to treat the world.

Now the new emperor is remembering the past, and he has any opinions but is not suitable for mentioning it for the time being.

"After knowing that something happened to the master, I didn't even go to see my master's wife. I don't know if my master's family is fine."

Yuan Bolang interrupted: "The emperor does not need to worry about these things, and the Liu family's female family is safe for the time being."

After saying that, Yuan Bolang looked at Li Yannian with a hint of expression. Su Yan also cooperated and asked Li Yannian: "Li Aiqing, have Ling Yuan found it?"

Li Yannian said helplessly: "There is no news yet."

"That's probably hidden by the master. The master is still very good at treating several master's wives. Li Aiqing doesn't have to worry. I believe Ling Yuan will live a good life too."

If this was not what the emperor said, but what a minister in the court said, Li Yannian had to go up and fight to the death.

Even if he agreed to this "elopement" marriage, Liu Wenyan's life and death are unknown now, so he wants his daughter to be a widow, and he is a widow without a formal title.

"well!"

Finally, Su Yan sighed again, and finally took the letter from Li Yannian, and opened it with some hesitation. When he saw the content on it, his expression still did not change.

"Commander. This is indeed what the new army soldiers call the master. The master may not be dead." Su Yan closed the letter and said helplessly. "Two dear friends, you can check it carefully. Whether the master is alive or dead, you still need a definite news."

Su Yan lost interest in playing snowball fights and turned toward the Yaqian Palace. At this time, the palace maids also followed closely behind.

After walking a while, Su Yan seemed to remember something and turned around and said, "Oh, by the way. If you have any news, you will definitely notify me as soon as possible, and... I will notify my master's wife by the way. I guess she is more worried."

Seeing the emperor return to Yaqian Hall, Yuan Bolang knew that he would leave even if he didn't leave. He looked at Li Yannian with a side face. At this time, Li Yannian seemed to have lost the mood of laughing. The two of them walked towards the palace gate, one left and one right.

"Was that guy alive or dead?"

After walking for a while, Yuan Bolang couldn't help but ask sideways.

Li Yannian was asked about his daughter Li Zheer by the emperor, and was in a bad mood. At this moment, his tone was not as respectful as before. He said, "Yuan Xiang wants to know, why not ask His Majesty?"

Yuan Bolang heard this and said that he was not dead. After all, no one was sure that Liu Wenyan was dead. If Liu Wenyan beat the Turks to the ground, he, the head coach, died first, and no one dared to believe it even if he said it.

"This man surnamed Liu will die if he dies. When he runs back, he thinks that Chang'an City is not messy enough? It would be fine if there are boys with no hair in front of him all day long. With Liu Wenyan, will Chang'an City still have a stable life?"

Yuan Bolang originally thought that Liu Yu was dead, but he thought that he had eliminated a great enemy in his heart. He focused all his attention on how to deal with the young and strong factions. Now that the more cunning Liu Wenyan came back, it was like a hanging sword falling to the ground.

Li Yannian sneered slightly, "Yuan Xiang, this seems to be wrong. If it weren't for Liu Wenyan, would you think you could handle the border affairs?"

Yuan Bolang was a little surprised and immediately thought of what Li Yannian meant.

He is talking about Hua Ji'an.

Li Yannian continued: "When Liu Wenyan is dead, the Hua person will definitely not take Your Majesty and the ministers in the court seriously. The soldiers obey the orders of the general and do not obey the emperor's orders. Such soldiers are generals of the general, and the general will usurp the throne at any time. But what if Liu Wenyan has not died yet?"

A question was thrown to Yuan Bolang, and Yuan Bolang no longer complained, but thought about it carefully.

It is impossible to hand over the military power smoothly by Hua Ji'an. Even Liu Wenyan did not have this ability. Although Liu Wenyan led his troops to win the battle of Jin Yaocheng, Hua Ji'an had already taken over the power in the future. Liu Wenyan was at most an outdated coach.

But this outdated commander has a large number of fans. After quelling the great trouble of the Turks, the two powerful ministers who would have endangered the orthodox imperial power would fight to the death in the army. That may not be a good thing for the court.

"The most important thing is to investigate whether that guy is alive or dead."

…………

After autumn, the snow in Chang'an City stopped for more than ten days.

On October 14th, Yuan Bolang hurried into the palace. Although this day was not a day for court discussion, the emperor summoned the ministers of the six ministries to Yaqian Hall to discuss matters. If he convened the six ministries in such a grand manner, it must be a matter related to the overall situation of the court.

"These boys whose hair has not grown enough must have succeeded."

Since the end of the imperial examination in May, after the emperor broke away from Liu Yu's control, he devoted himself to reform.

From land taxation, labor, military pay, to agriculture, commerce, handicrafts, the aspects involved cover the people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but because there are many aspects involved, there are many places to argue, which has kept this reform in the preparation stage.

Some conservative ministers mainly included the right prime minister Yuan Bolang and the left prime minister Lanhe. Although they had some slight remarks about this reform, they still did not make much comments. The main reason is that many of these reforms seem to be loud, but the raindrops are very small, and they will not shake the foundation of the country, nor will they hurt the interests of the landlords and officials. On the contrary, it was clearly stated in the reform that it was necessary to increase the income of officials, similar to "high salary to maintain integrity."

If a new official takes office, he will be able to burn the fire. Now that the world is determined, there will be no major enemies in the country in the future, and some foreign countries and southern barbarians will not be able to do anything. A prosperous country and the people will be safe and sound, and at least they can handle the government safely in the future, and emphasize civil and military affairs.

At the entrance of the Yaqian Palace, Zuo Xianglanhe didn't go in and waited there when he saw Yuan Bolang greeting him.

As for the current heads of civil officials, the left prime minister and the right prime minister have a good position in the court, and they even have the right to reject the decisions made by the emperor. Of course, this also requires a sense of courage. Although they have the power to reject the court, the emperor has the power to dismiss their prime minister. Before vetoing, they still have to consider it first.

"Why did the Prime Minister come this late?" Lan He walked over with a little nervous look.

"I am still eager to come today!" Yuan Bolang said coldly.

Lan He naturally knew that Yuan Bolang's indifference was not aimed at him, but at the newly emerging young and strong people in the North Korea, and he didn't mind.

"Secretary Yuan, something happened. It's not what you and I thought before. Those young boys couldn't make waves. This time they were discussing things from the north."

"What's wrong in the north? Could it be that Liu Wenyan was not dead, or that the Turks were put down?"

Lan He had no choice but to pull Yuan Bolang's sleeve and pulled it into the yard, saying, "Go in quickly, I'm afraid you haven't come. We haven't discussed what the emperor asked, so it's hard to deal with it. It's good that you're here."

"What's going on, let me explain it clearly first." Yuan Bolang had a grudge against Lan He, and asked impatiently at this time.

He felt that Lan He had made a big deal.

Lan He leaned over and whispered: "The Turks are here to hand over the letter of the country!"

Yuan Bolang was shocked. Didn’t Hua Ji'an say that the Turks would not turn back? Why did the Turks send a letter of nationality in a blink of an eye? Could it be that the Turks bypassed the Shunchao army led by Hua Ji'an and prepared to "seek help" from the Shunchao court?

If this is true, then this is really a "big thing". How can Hua Ji'an know that it is so good?

"I also asked Eunuch Wu for inquiries, saying that the letter of the country arrived yesterday. The specifics are not clear, but according to the situation, the emperor seems to be controlled by others. According to Eunuch Wu, the emperor met the letter of the country last night and did not sleep all night, and was alone in Yaqian Hall. Eunuch Wu also said that he was wiping his tears when he saw the emperor."

What Eunuch Wu said was not clear at all, and Lan He was also far-fetched. Yuan Bolang was even more confused when he heard this.

The Turks just sent a letter to the country, why would the emperor hide and cry alone?

Yuan Bolang followed Lan He into the Yaqian Hall. At this time, the stove in the Yaqian Hall was burning brightly, warm and crowded, and the ministers of the six ministries were all there. Yuan Bolang also found two "big figures" who had not seen for a long time, the royal national treasure-level couple Su Bi and Chai Jin.

Even the fourth princess and his wife who have been undermined for a long time have come, which means it must be as simple as a simple letter of nationality. (To be continued...)
