Reborn as King again

After the fall of Yan State, Dai Viet was the only country in the Central Plains that was still neutral.Dayue is located in the southernmost part of the Central Plains. On the contrary, Yan State is very good. The land of Yan State is barren and borders the Western Regions, while the land of Dayue is fertile. It originally bordered Ran State and Dashang, but after the demise of Ran State and Dashang, the bordering countries changed. It became Datong and Zheng Guo.The founding of the country in the mountains of Dayue has always implemented a closed-door policy and does not deal with any country. Because of the region, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack if there is a war.

A few years ago, due to the turmoil in my court, other families except the Jia family were eradicated, and then I was transferred from the center of the capital to various places in the region. That mind goes to war.As for the state of Zheng, the old emperor Ouyang Hai's health is getting worse and worse, his princes are ready to move, and they are all staring at the position of the throne. In this way, Da Yue is given time to breathe. In the past few years, Da Yue seems to be developing Very good, if you don't do it again, it will be even more difficult to capture in the future.

Now I have almost calmed down inside and outside the court, I want to take advantage of the civil strife in Zheng State at any time, and take the first step to eat Dayue.But Dayue seemed to be aware of my thoughts. In mid-April, Dayue sent envoys, intending to marry me in Datong.

I hosted a banquet in the Hall of Changhuan to receive Wang Sen, the envoy of Dayue. During the banquet, he told me that the Emperor Dayue wanted to marry his daughter, Princess Min Yanle, to Datong to strengthen the relationship with Datong.It is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing by marriage to maintain the temporary peace between the two countries, and I really don't know what to do.

I know too little about Dai Viet, for example, I don't know how old the Emperor Dai Viet is this year.The spies I sent seldom managed to sneak into the Yue Kingdom.At this time, I thought of a person, Duan Muchen, Ran Kingdom has bordered Dayue for hundreds of years, as the prince of Ran Kingdom, he should know more about Dayue than I do.

The next morning, I went to Laiyi Hall to meet Duanmuchen.

At this time, Duanmuchen was having breakfast. When he saw me coming, he quickly got up to say hello, thinking that I was looking for Zhen'er, he smiled and said: "Zhen'er just ran out to play after breakfast. Let someone bring her back."

"No need," I waved my hand and said, "Concubine Chen, I'm here to find you."

Duanmuchen froze for a moment, then looked at me suspiciously.I'm afraid he's going to think about it, but he can't think of what I want to do with him. After all, the only connection between me and him is Zhen'er.

"I have a private matter to discuss with Concubine Chen, please step back." I sent away the eunuchs in the hall first, and when there were only the two of us left in the hall, plus a Wanfu who was waiting on the side, I pulled Duanmuchen to sit down , and asked earnestly: "Concubine Chen, how much do you know about Dayue?"

"Da Yue?" Duanmuchen thought for a while, then shook his head in embarrassment, "I don't understand at all."

"You are from the country of Ran. Da Yue is next to the country of Ran. You don't know anything about the rumors about Da Yue?" I asked.

Duanmuchen still shook his head, and briefly told me about the situation of Dai Viet, "Although they are neighbors, Dai Viet has never negotiated with the Ran Kingdom. For hundreds of years, they have been self-sufficient, and there is no caravan to do business with the Ran Kingdom. In addition, the location of Dayue is difficult to enter, so even if you are in Ran Country, you don’t know much about Dayue. People who leave Dayue are desperadoes who broke the law. It will end in killing."

"Da Yue is so mysterious." I frowned, a little annoyed.

Seeing my uneasy expression, Duanmuchen cautiously asked, "Is there... something wrong?"

I glanced at Duanmuchen, and thought it would be alright to ask his opinion, so I said: "Dayue sent an envoy here yesterday, intending to marry Datong, I'm afraid there may be fraud, what does Concubine Chen think?"

"Ask a humble official?" Duanmuchen pursed his lips, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, coupled with his identity, I can tell that he has ideas, but he dare not say them.

"I let outsiders leave just to ask your opinion in private," I said, "Just say what comes to mind, I forgive you for your innocence."

Now that I have said that, Duanmuchen boldly expressed his thoughts, "I feel that your majesty is completely overwhelmed, Da Yue is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is only a small country, and it is the only neutral country. Wanting to get married is nothing more than hoping for a moment of peace."

"The emperor of Zheng State is in his seventies and eighties, and all his princes are not fuel-efficient. Civil strife will happen sooner or later. On the contrary, Datong has always been prosperous and prosperous. Your majesty is an upright man. You married Datong and married the princess. It is the best choice for you. If the princess gives birth to a man and a half woman, then Da Yue will have more backing. When you want to send troops to Da Yue again, or Zheng Guo wants to attack Dayue, and Da Yue When borrowing troops from you, you have to worry about that princess and the prince he gave birth to."

After listening to Duanmuchen's analysis, I pointed to myself involuntarily and asked, "You mean, Da Yue wants to marry the princess to me?"

Duanmuchen looked at me inexplicably, and seemed to be saying, "Who do you think you are marrying?"

I really don't have any idea about marriage. I didn't ask the envoys of Da Viet who they wanted to marry their daughter to. After all, the emperor of Da Viet wanted to marry his daughter. My first reaction was to marry my prince.Li Chen is 17 years old this year, and he went out of the palace to build a mansion last year. His overpowering appearance has fascinated everyone in the capital, but Li Chen is very disgusted with the relationship between men and women. Jia Wanru is the master of the harem. They were often sent to Li Chen's mansion, but Li Chen kept refusing, so we didn't force him. I really thought that if I agreed to the marriage of Dayue, I would betroth the princess to Li Chen as a side concubine. .

I wanted to ask something more, but all of a sudden, the eunuch at the entrance of the main hall said: "Your Majesty, Empress Chen, Xiao Lanzi has something important to ask."

Xiao Lanzi is the eunuch I arranged next to Duanmuchen, and he has won Duanmuchen's trust. Hearing Xiao Lanzi's tone at the door seemed urgent, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Princess Zhen'er was stung by a bee and is making trouble in the Little Red Garden. Go and have a look."

As soon as I heard it, that's okay, Duanmuchen also stood up in shock, followed me to open the door, and rushed towards Xiaohongyuan together, I asked while walking, "Did you call the imperial doctor?"

Xiao Lanzi followed closely three steps away from us, and replied: "I called the imperial doctor, this servant came back to report to the concubine Chen."

I didn't blame Xiao Lanzi for not sending Zhen'er back to the Hall of Laiyi. After all, if Zhen'er started to cry, no one could stop her.

The Little Red Garden is a small garden not far from the Laiyi Hall. I built it specially for Zhen Er for her to play.

I thought that there might be a situation where I didn't see the person who heard the cry first, but I didn't expect that after arriving in Xiaohongyuan, Zhen'er stopped crying. Although there were tears on her face, she smiled and said to the two girls in front of her. What, looking at the attire of those two girls, they are neither concubines nor maidservants, they should be young masters.

Zhen'er saw me coming, she ran towards me with a smile, and stretched out her arms for a hug, "Father~"

I saw that there was a brocade handkerchief on the back of Zhen'er's hand. I should have done emergency treatment. I smiled and hugged Zhen'er, and said: "I heard that Zhen'er was stung by a bee, and my father thought you would die again." Crying and fussing, seeing that you are not crying, father is relieved."

"My servant Sun Zijun has met the emperor, and the emperor is safe."

"Servant Yuan Qingmei has met the emperor, the emperor is safe."

Yuan Qingmei?I looked at the two young masters who were stalked by Zhen'er just now, they were bowing their heads and saying hello, "Get up."

"Father, father, that elder sister is amazing~" Zhen'er pointed to Yuan Qingmei and said, "Just now Zhen'er was bitten by a bee, and that elder sister caught the bee and suddenly turned into a flower~"

I smiled and didn't say a word, Yuan Qingmei in the previous life could do these little tricks to make those little princes happy, my children like to play with her.

Duanmuchen carefully looked at the back of Zhen'er's little hand, seeing that it was properly bandaged, he felt relieved, and asked Yuan Qingmei, "Did you bandage it for Zhen'er?"

A trace of disappointment flashed in Yuan Qingmei's eyes, even though it was only for a moment, I could see it all, it was that kind of boring drama again.

Every time after the draft is over, the masters will always try to get my attention in one way or another, just like Zhener has told me just now that Yuan Qingmei will turn bees into small flowers. According to Yuan Qingmei's thinking, I should She was very interested, and then asked a few more questions, but she didn't expect that I didn't care about it at all, but Duanmuchen asked first.

"It's not the servant girl, it's Xiaozhu Sun," Yuan Qingmei quickly adjusted her mood, and said, "The servant girl is just coaxing Princess Zhener to play, and it was Xiaozhu Sun who bandaged Princess Zhener."

This is also Yuan Qingmei's usual practice, she will not steal the limelight in anything, leaving a generous impression on people.

Duanmuchen looked at the young master named Sun Zijun, and said sincerely, "Thank you, my grandson, young master Sun."

Sun Zijun said in a hurry: "This is the duty of a servant, as long as Princess Zhen'er doesn't get hurt."

"Concubine mother, hug~" Zhen'er was about to pester her concubine mother again, so I transferred her to Duanmuchen.

"Zhen'er, are you still in pain?" Duanmuchen held Zhen'er's hand distressedly, bragging to her.

Zhen'er was immediately flattered, because Duanmuchen was not close to her, and Zhen'er immediately smiled brighter, even if it hurts, it doesn't hurt at all now, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore, it won't hurt if the concubine mother blows It's gone~" She continued to act coquettishly with Duanmuchen and said, "Concubine Mu, let's watch that sister turn into a flower together in the future, okay?"

"Changing flowers?" Although Zhen'er's words didn't arouse my interest, Duanmuchen did, and asked curiously, "You know how to change those little things?"

Yuan Qingmei turned her body sideways, and said with a respectful smile: "This servant likes children, and likes to tease them the most, so I learned some tricks from the folks to play with children, which can make Princess Zhen'er happy, which is the blessing of this servant. "

Tsk tsk tsk, the wording and statement are the same, Yuan Qingmei in her previous life is also the same. I accidentally found out that she was playing with the little princes with such a deceptive gadget, which successfully attracted my attention, and then expressed that she likes the little prince. The matter of the child made me have a good impression of her. After all, everyone likes a gentle and kind woman.

In the same way, the previous life was exciting, but this life makes people feel a little hypocritical.

"Let's take Zhen'er back to Laiyi Palace first, and let the imperial doctor take a look." I said to the two little masters who occasionally appeared in Xiaohongyuan: "Go back."

"Yes."
