Chapter 1298 Prepare
Xiao Rongyan looked at Yue Shi with a serious expression, was amused by Yue Shi, put down the memorial in his hand, squinted at Yue Shi and asked, "Who did you learn all this from?"
"Uncle Feng!" Yue Shi said with a serious face, "Today, one of my subordinates talked to Uncle Feng... When I was in the palace, the master left too fast, and my subordinates didn't find a chance to ask Wang Jiuzhou how to keep his temper Yu Se, then Uncle Feng told his subordinates that the strategy of His Majesty and Master this time will definitely make the Empress Dowager come to persuade the Master, and if others want to inquire about news from the subordinates, they should let the subordinates sigh, shake their heads, and then hesitate to speak. Stop it, just act like you can't tell the pain!"
Xiao Rongyan smiled and nodded: "Then you should remember it!"
"Master, don't worry, Yue Shi will remember it firmly!" Yue Shi patted his chest and promised.
This time, after arranging the affairs of Yan Kingdom to go to the capital city, Xiao Rongyan planned to bring Feng Yao with him. Uncle Feng is an old man who takes care of his mother, and... Uncle Feng saved him when he was a child, and later he devoted himself to serving his elder brother. After his elder brother left, Uncle Feng sat by his side again and refused to rest for the elderly, saying that he couldn't be idle.
In fact, Xiao Rongyan knew that Uncle Feng was just worried about him.
This time, when he went to see the two children in the capital city, Xiao Rongyan also wanted Uncle Feng to meet him. In Xiao Rongyan's heart... Although Uncle Feng is a domestic servant, he can also be regarded as his elder.

On the second day, when the court was up, almost all the most important courtiers of the Yan Kingdom knew the news of the Empress Dowager's night visit to the Prince Regent's Palace last night.
Some courtiers speculated that the Queen Mother must have reached an agreement with the regent Ninth Prince, and she must not gamble with the Kingdom of Yan.
Naturally... some people speculated that the Queen Mother Yan still cared about her son, and she went to the Prince Regent's Mansion last night to lower her profile... to ask the Prince Regent to agree to the emperor's gambling with the country, so as to prevent the King Regent from really having the idea of changing the emperor.
Just as the courtiers were speculating, the emperor Murong Li had already arrived, but the regent Murong Yan hadn't arrived yet, but the maidservant next to the Empress Dowager came to the front hall with the Queen Mother's decree, and proclaimed the decree to all the courtiers... calling her body The discomfort has not lasted for a day or two. Now that the regent is back, the queen mother will have to recuperate behind closed doors, and will not ask about the government from now on.
The courtiers stared at each other in surprise, and they saw Murong Li on the high platform telling the Queen Mother's personal maid to take good care of the Queen Mother. After he came down to court, he went to visit the Queen Mother. : "The queen mother is not feeling well, and she needs the company of her relatives the most. If there is nothing else to do after my uncle goes to court, why not visit the queen mother together like me."
Zhong Xingxiao hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! The queen mother's body is uneasy, and my minister is also very worried."
The courtiers of the queen mother's party looked at Zhong Xingxiao one after another. Zhong Xingxiao got the news from the queen mother last night, saying that he had persuaded the regent, but he did not expect that today the queen mother would suddenly announce that she would never ask politics again.
However, since the regent brought back the two cronies of the old general Cui Shanzhong, the Queen Mother's party headed by Zhong Xingxiao had already vaguely guessed that today would happen, and this was already the best ending.
Compared with the previous emperor who was furious and wanted to trap the Queen Mother in the harem on the grounds of recuperating, at least this time he gave the Queen Mother a face. Since His Majesty also allowed Zhong Xingxiao to visit the Queen Mother, it means that Emperor Yan and the Queen Mother are still close.
As far as the Regent Party is concerned, it is unexpected that the Empress Dowager suddenly claimed to be sick and recuperating at this time. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable. These courtiers could not agree either.
Although there is an example of Empress Ji, they dare not say "the rooster wakes up the morning" in the court hall, but the difference between this Empress Dowager and the Empress Ji of that year is too far, far less than one ten-thousandth of that of Empress Ji, I hope that the queen mother will know her mistake from now on, and stop interfering in the government affairs, and just keep raising flowers and feeding fish in the harem.
"The Regent arrives..."
Just when the courtiers were thinking about it, the eunuch outside the hall sang and announced that the regent had arrived.
The courtiers immediately turned to face the entrance of the main hall, knelt down to greet them, and Murong Li also stood up and looked in their direction.
Seeing the Prince Regent walking towards the jade steps in court clothes and a silver mask, Murong Li also bowed: "Uncle Jiu..."
Xiao Rongyan stepped up from the side and sat down on the regent throne set up next to the emperor's throne: "Get up!"
Murong Li looked a little afraid of the regent, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair. Some courtiers could not help but slander the regent for being too contemptuous of imperial authority, and completely treated his majesty like a child, not at all what a courtier should have appearance.
Some courtiers also speculated in their hearts whether the regent intends to abolish the emperor this time and put an obedient puppet emperor on the throne again.
"Yesterday, after the king returned to the mansion, I carefully thought about the strategy of sending His Majesty's envoys to Zhou to determine the outcome of the two countries and merge one country." Xiao Rongyan rested his elbows on the armrest of the chair, speaking slowly, "Although I still feel There are all kinds of inappropriate things, but... His Majesty is the emperor of our country Yan after all, and what the emperor of Yan said must not be taken for granted!"
"Uncle Nine..." Murong Li was full of guilt, "But right now, there is no better way! The Zhou Dynasty is powerful... After Xiliang is destroyed, the current situation is unstoppable."
Xiao Rongyan nodded: "So, as Your Majesty said, the most important thing right now is not to get our Yan courtiers to agree, but to try to get Da Zhou to agree."
"Uncle Jiu, so you agree!" Murong Li's eyes were full of surprise, like a child who trusted Xiao Rongyan very much.
Xiao Rongyan nodded: "After all, this king really can't think of a better solution. After discussing with this king yesterday, the queen mother decided... that this king will go to Dazhou in person, so the weight is enough! This king... once led the army Helping the city of Gyantse to rescue the Emperor of the Great Zhou. The Emperor of the Great Zhou has always said that the Great Zhou puts the people first. This time, I will use the people of the world to talk to the Emperor of the Great Zhou. I hope that the Emperor of the Great Zhou will take into account the world's long-term mouth and agree with us. Emperor Yan's merger strategy."
"No, Lord Ninth!" A minister of the Regent's Party quickly knelt down, "If the Emperor of the Great Zhou disagrees with His Majesty's strategy, it would be too risky for the Regent to go to the Great Zhou!"
"This king is the Regent of the Yan Kingdom, and only this weight is enough!" Xiao Rongyan said in a very low voice, and told the courtiers what the Queen Mother Yan said to him yesterday, "If the king doesn't go, why not ask His Majesty to go in person?"
The courtiers were silent.
Xiao Rongyan turned to look at Murong Li: "Before this king leaves, he will arrange the defense of Yan Kingdom. If... this king fails to persuade Da Zhou to accept His Majesty's plan of merging the two countries, Your Majesty must do a good job with Da Zhou. Prepare for battle!"
The second more...
