Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 211 What happened to the Six Dynasties? The family plotted privately, and the King of Yan returned to the capital!
The atmosphere between Liu Wen and the other six was quite relaxed.

Today's morning meeting cannot afford any delay.

The Prince of Yan has entered Yanjing today, and the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is only three days away.

Although all the preparatory work has been completed, this matter concerns the national system and there must not be the slightest mistake.

Today's morning cabinet meeting was proposed by Mercury Governor Zhang Yu yesterday, and it contained important news concerning Bei Feng.

The five men waited, and then the mercury commander spoke.

Zhang Yu, as a veteran of the Lu family army, was one of the first members of the team formed by Prince Yan.

His voice rang out from the wheelchair, and he said in a deep voice: "For this Yandi Grand Ceremony, the envoys from the four countries have all arrived, except for Beifeng's envoy who has not yet arrived."

He paused and continued, "According to the intelligence handed over by Beifeng's Mercury the day before yesterday, Beifeng does not seem to have any intention of coming this time. Instead, he has been in frequent contact with Hexi, and even secretly communicated with the royal family of Qianyuan, and important senior officials of Dachu and Han."

"Bei Feng has secretly dispatched tens of thousands of troops to build fortifications outside Yunzhou. Tuoba Shuyi has rebuilt the Iron Pagoda in recent years."

Huo Hai lowered his eyes when he heard this.

He was the person who knew the group of North Wind kids best. His experience of going north back then had left him with a deep hatred for North Wind.

There has long been an irreconcilable feud between Yan and Beifeng.

The White Horse Alliance ended, but only one storm was enough to cause chaos in the four countries.

Since Beifeng and Yan had no chance to become allies, they could only turn to lobbying other countries.

Bei Feng had made his position clear by not sending an envoy to this festival.

Everyone had anticipated this.

Therefore, Zhang Yu’s proposal for today’s morning meeting was not without purpose.

But there should still be "articles".

Everyone held their breath, waiting for his next words.

Zhang Yu had a cold expression on his face. He slowly pulled out five lists from his sleeve and handed them to the other people present one by one.

Liu Wen took the list, quickly scanned the names on it, and frowned.

"This is a list of high-ranking officials in Yan territory who have close contacts with various countries that Shuiyin has painstakingly collected over the past few years."

"Among them, some have already decided to unite privately with ill intentions."

Colluding with foreign countries may be considered treason.

Although Feng Haiping had expected this, his expression changed slightly when he saw the first person on the list.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the greenhouse became solemn.

Wen Xiaohe sat at the lower right. Compared with the five people present, he had the least experience and was the youngest, but he looked mature.

He was of medium build, wearing a black Yan court robe, with unusually large ears and a slightly bald forehead, but his eyes looked kind.

The court dress of Yan was different from that of other countries.

The colors of Daqing official uniforms from high to low are purple, scarlet, green, and blue. The darker the color, the higher the status, which cannot be exceeded.

Officials of the Great Chu were even more specifically divided, with strict distinctions being made between the hats they wore to court and the patches on their court robes.

Civil officials are birds, and military officials are beasts.

People also jokingly call him "beast in human clothing".

A first-rank civil official, with a ruby ​​bead on his head and crane-shaped tonic clothes.

A second-rank civil official wears a red coral bead on his head and golden pheasant clothing.

A first-rank military officer wears Qilin clothing.

Second rank military officer, lion catcher uniform.

Qianyuan also had similar official uniforms.

However, in Yan, everything was different. Whether it was a civil official, a councilor or a military general, the court robes here were all black.

The material is not particularly particular, and most people can easily buy it, so there is nothing special about it.

This is also one of the rules written in "Governing the North", "There is no special requirement for carriages, horses, and clothing materials."

Wen Xiaohe couldn't believe it either. This document, which covered almost all the political affairs of Yan territory, was written by the King of Yan in one night in the imperial palace of Daqing.

Dou Gu and Liu Wen who were present were absolutely sure of it, as they witnessed it with their own eyes that night.

Wen Xiaohe held an important position in finance and taxation in Yan area. He was actually the "God of Wealth" of Yan area, holding the financial lifeline and holding a pivotal position.

At this moment, he was silent, staring at the list in his hand, on which were listed the core figures of the Lu family army. They were all one of the twenty-six generals of the pavilion back then, promoted by the King of Yan himself, and were veterans who had made great military achievements for the Yan area.

They and Liu Wen and others have the spirit of comrades-in-arms.

Huo Hai sighed softly. He and one of the people on the list had fought side by side many times, and depended on each other for life and death.

However, in recent years, this old brother has drifted away, aggressively expanding his influence in the army, and even privately established a troop base in Haozhou. His behavior has crossed the line.

For a moment, Huo Hai felt mixed emotions.

Only Zhang Yu had a stern expression and said in a firm tone: "Ye Mu, this man is almost omnipotent in Haozhou, and he has many adopted sons in the army, so his influence is huge."

"It is true that he has been able to complete the taxation and various government orders of the Prince of Yan's Mansion every year. However, all the councilors in Haozhou for the past three years have been his students. The Ye Mansion has also secretly stored 30,000 weapons and armors. This is a serious crime."

There is even a nursery rhyme among the people that goes "A leaf from Bozhou covers the sky".

"In the past, he was able to follow the rules, and no one said much. However, a few days ago, Ye Mu had a private meeting with Beifeng Crown Prince Tuoba Hong in Haozhou. This matter is no small matter."

Ye Mu, with his brilliant military exploits, ranked seventh among the twenty-six generals in Tingtai, and was truly a brave general.

When Daqing was conferred the title of marquis in the past, the imperial edict praised him for being "thorough in his work, deploying his troops and managing his army, valuing both civil and military talents, and being a general and a prime minister", which shows that he was both civil and military.

He was a Confucian general. When not on the battlefield, he never put down his books and had a collection of over ten thousand books at home.

Once upon a time, Ye Mu said to Shao Bao:

"If I were given three times as many men as the Grand Guardian, why couldn't I defeat him?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shao Bao actually nodded in agreement. In a short while, the reputation of "Ye Sanbei" spread like wildfire in the Lu family army.

Things to know!
When the Lu family army was first established, they were all trained by Shao Bao himself. The soldiers were all highly skilled in martial arts. Some powerful northerners even joined his army, but they were not convinced by Shao Bao's reputation, but were defeated one by one.

It is true that he can defeat Shao Bao three times as well as he can. This is actually a high praise for his ability.

However, although Zhang Yu had expressed his opinion, the other five people looked hesitant and found it difficult to make a decision.

"If the war between Beifeng and Yan breaks out again, and this person raises the banner of rebellion, how should we respond?" Zhang Yu asked worriedly.

"Is Yandi also going to split up?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Hai said decisively: "Ye Mu would never do that! I know him well."

"He would never do such a treacherous thing!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen and Dou Gu also nodded silently.

Ye Mu's prestige in the army is second only to Feng Haiping and Huo Hai. When the cabinet was formed in the past, his name was also prominently listed.

However, Ye Mu was not interested in the position and was eventually selected as the Left General of Bozhou and the Jiedushi of Bozhou, holding two positions.

Otherwise, today's cabinet would have one more chair.

Although both the Left General and the Jiedushi were the top leaders in Bozhou, they did not have the power to fully command local officials and troops.

If local armed forces want to leave the state, they must have documents from the Prince of Yan's Palace to be dispatched.

Bozhou, part of which borders Yanjing and Beifeng, is actually an important military location.

Its strategic depth, together with Yunzhou, forms a triangular defense line of Yanjing.

Once the north wind invades Yanjing, the two places can send troops together to form a pincer attack and encircle the city.

Three years ago, Ye Mu privately built a troop in Bozhou and recruited private soldiers. Shuiyin had already submitted a memorial to the cabinet to inform him of this matter.

At that time, the six members of the cabinet discussed countermeasures and wanted to summon Ye Mu to the Prince of Yan's Mansion to ask him to explain the whole story.

Ye Mu, however, did not show up for the appointment due to illness. The cabinet had no choice but to discuss the matter again and prepared to send 60,000 Yanbei troops to Bozhou to investigate.

This matter is indeed of great importance, and the people involved are all pillars of the Lu family army. Faced with this situation, the six people were all hesitant and found it difficult to make up their minds.

Once troops are dispatched, there will be no room for maneuver, and it is more likely to evolve into internal disputes, from which there will be no room for turning back.

Indoor fighting!
During this period, some letters were sent to Mount Zhongnan, but they fell into the sea and no response was received.

In the end, the matter was left unresolved.

There was silence in the greenhouse!
Huo Hai pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Ye Mu will definitely come to participate in the King Yan's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony this year."

Wen Xiaohe smiled and said: "Since General Ye can come to Yanjing, let's report it to the King of Yan and let him make the decision."

Several people nodded.

Feng Haiping also smiled and said, "Once the King of Yan returns, this matter will be easily resolved."

After that, he comforted everyone: "It is a great joy that the King of Yan is about to be registered, so don't be so sad."

Zhang Yu sighed softly. How could he be willing to be the bad guy?
In his heart, Ye Mu has always been the respectable Brother Ye Qi.

However, when they followed Shao Bao, they swore together:

"Drive out the foreign enemies and recover the North."

"Let all the people in the north live and work in peace and contentment, eat meat in large bowls, and drink wine in large vessels."

Today in Yan area, people's lives have entered a prosperous scene. Zhang Yu knows that this hard-earned peace must not be easily destroyed.

Starting a business is difficult, and maintaining it is even more difficult.

In fact, tracing back to the root of all this turmoil, it is all because the King of Yan has been cultivating his mind in Zhongnan and has no offspring to carry on his cause.

As long as the King of Yan is alive, all problems can be easily solved; but what if a hundred years pass?

Who can bear this great responsibility?
Looking around, there are still four countries watching covetously.

There are tigers and leopards outside!
However, with the current strength of Yan, Zhang Yu was confident that even if Qianyuan attacked with the entire country, Yan would still be able to win the battle.

However, although the external threat is severe, the internal troubles cannot be ignored.

Amid internal and external difficulties, if the situation changes, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, King Yan has returned!

Wen Xiaohe mentioned something else, with a hint of worry between his brows:
"Are we going to let the envoys of the four countries go their own way? They must have learned something about Yan during their journey. Even though they only have a limited understanding of the area, they should not be underestimated."

When Liu Wen heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile:

"Let him go. This is something that is obvious. The "Essentials of Governing the North" written by the King of Yan contains many policies and decrees, most of which are explicit. Even if he wants to learn, I'm afraid he won't dare to learn it."

"This is an open conspiracy. How can they have the same broad mind as the King of Yan and regard the fame and fortune of the people as their own?"

Why did everything in the Six Dynasties become just a private scheme?

Liu Wen's words were full of admiration for King Yan.

Dou Gu was also filled with emotion and said:
"I have spent these years in Prince Yan's mansion. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. After reading these decrees again, I feel more and more that Prince Yan has a far-sighted vision. He is truly a god!"

Everyone nodded when they heard this.

……

……

On the city wall of Yanjing, it was not yet dawn, but the city was already crowded with people, bustling with activity and extremely lively.

The whole of Yanjing is brightly lit!
"It's been so noisy these past few days that I can't sleep well. Princess, you haven't rested well, have you?"

Yuwen Liqian's maid rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned lightly with her slender fingers, and her voice revealed a strong sense of sleepiness.

The two of them set out from the embassy in Yanjing, and early in the morning, holding up lanterns and lifting their skirts, they climbed up the wall of the south gate.

These days!
The night in Yanjing is almost shrouded by the noise of fireworks and firecrackers, which lasts from morning to night.

The maid murmured to herself, wondering why these people were so excited, as if the return of Prince Yan to the capital was an even more sensational event than the arrival of a "celestial fairy".

Yu Wen Li Qian ignored the maid's complaints.

At this moment, on the wall of the south gate, if they were not the envoys of four countries, although they had a special status, they would only have three places on the wall.

Those who could stand on the wall included the common people who did not leave yesterday and the places specially reserved for some "characters" in Yan.

"your Highness!"

A familiar voice sounded behind Yuwen Liqian.

Yang Wenxian walked over slowly.

He shook his head helplessly and said:
"I had been out for a long time, but there were too many people on the road and it was crowded, so I arrived late."

Yuwen Li nodded lightly.

Since Yang Wenxian is a rare talent, it is only natural to give him some preferential treatment.

So she gave him the remaining spot to watch the ceremony.

The traffic was really congested along the way.

The roads were crowded with people rushing to the city gates, and carriages could not pass at all.

Yu Wen Li Qian also noticed that there were four people two steps away from her, and they seemed to have arrived here early.

That was the area reserved for the four-nation delegations, and standing there were four people from Daqing: Xie Chunan, Xie Lingxuan and their cousin Zou Lin.

There is actually one extra spot.

Considering the previous marriage between Xie Lingxuan and Prince Yan, this seems to make sense.

"Princess and Lord Xie, you're here really early!"

Yu Wen Li Qian knew who was coming without looking back.

Wulong, the fourth prince of Qianyuan.

"Li Qian, I thought the prince would not come."

Xie Chunan's voice sounded at the right time, and he said with a smile:
"The prince is here too!"

Wulong walked naturally between the two groups of people and responded with a smile:
"The noise outside is as loud as ten thousand horses pulling a cart. I have no choice but to come."

"However, I do want to meet this legendary King Yan."

He glanced at Xie Lingxuan inadvertently, but found that this woman didn't seem to pay attention to the conversation here, and her beautiful eyes were always fixed on the outside of the city.

Wu Long turned around and looked around.

The wall was already crowded with people, including quite a few elderly people and mostly women.

But no one from the Great Chu delegation was seen.

He didn't care. He didn't mind the group of Confucian scholars.

The military formation had already been formed under the city wall, and both sides of the avenue were filled with civilians.

The entire city of Yanjing was immersed in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and expectation.

Behind him, the entire Yanjing was already illuminated by lights.

It seems that a city has been waiting for one person for a long time!
The sky finally brightened and a thin morning mist rose.

A dark crowd of people stopped not far away.

Two fast horses came slowly along the road.

At this moment, a deafening shout rang out.

Prince Yan has returned to Beijing!
