A cup of realgar wine and half a catty of soy sauce beef, it was difficult to make a pair of each other. Zhong Roulan couldn't get used to living in Chuzhou, so she simply left Chuzhou to Tang Yuan and built the Princess Chenyang's mansion in Yujun. Anyway,

Yu Jun is safer in his heart.

Zhong Roulan drank realgar and felt that she had aged a lot after this year. She received a letter from her elder brother the day before yesterday, saying that her second brother was going to bring his family to Yu County to ask for a red envelope. It sounded so harmonious and relaxed, but in fact it was

The eldest brother and the second brother are doing the last negotiation, and he is the middleman.

From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want Xiao Yu and Meng Yan to conflict, but from her own point of view, or from the point of view of the Qingluan Army, it is best for the two of them to fight to become stronger. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival

She should have gone back to see her father, but she chose to escape. Whether she was facing her father or Zhong Fan, her own existence would make things difficult for them.

Zhong Roulan turned to look at the crescent moon hanging high outside the window. She was thinking that the fairy in the moon palace might be more lonely than herself. At this time, a sound of rushing upstairs disturbed Zhong Roulan's sadness. From the sound, she knew it was tangerine.

.

"Princess, there are a lot of soldiers coming outside the city. I think the leader is Tang Yuan. Is he going to rebel?" Orange said nervously.

If Suli was around, he would have made arrangements for the army to enter the city. Only a silly girl like Ju Guo could think that Tang Yuan was rebelling by leading troops into the city.

"Citrus, you go prepare a few jars of good wine and bring them over, and then ask the kitchen to prepare some more dishes and bring them over. You go and arrange the accommodation for Mrs. Tang and others, do you understand?" Zhong Roulan said patiently.

I saw Orange making a surprised expression, and said with indescribable confidence: "Princess! No! How can you have a private meeting with Master Tang? The prince knows that he will beat me to death!"

Zhong Roulan put down her wine glass, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and said slowly and calmly: "Master Tang will come up with a few important people to discuss things with me. Just do as I tell you.

Don’t worry about anything else.”

"Oh, then should I tell Mrs. Tang?" Orange asked.

"Well," Zhong Roulan's suppressed anger immediately burst out, and she shouted loudly: "Get out of here!"

"Princess, it's not good to let Mrs. Tang know, I won't tell you, don't worry!" Orange said as he exited.

Zhong Roulan drank all the wine in the pot angrily. She was so angry that she didn't know whether this orange was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. No matter how detailed her arrangements were, orange could always understand them in all kinds of weird ways.

Not long after the food and drinks were delivered, Tang Yuan led a middle-aged man and a young man to the attic, and respectfully bowed to Zhong Roulan. Zhong Roulan did not get up, "Marquis Pingyang, it's the right time to enter the city during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Is there something important?"

Tang Yuan did not rush to report to Zhong Roulan the reason for entering the city during the Dragon Boat Festival. Instead, he introduced the two people around him to Zhong Roulan. He first pointed at the middle-aged man and said: "Princess, this is Han Kou, now Qingluan

Army Sima."

Zhong Roulan looked at Han Kou. Han Kou was very square and had bright eyes. This man was originally the governor of Ninghai County. Because he said a few words of opposition when Fan Lihu sent troops to rescue the Zhuo family, he was directly detained by Fan Lihu for questioning.

Zhong Jue was persuaded to surrender when he entered Chuzhou. In order not to cause Chuzhou's backlash, Zhong Roulan did not cleanse Chuzhou's officialdom that day, but handed everything over to Tangyuan for processing, and returned directly to Yujun.

"This is Murong Changfeng, recommended by the Marquis of Kuaiji. My subordinates haven't made any arrangements yet. Please let the princess decide." Tang Yuan introduced the young people around him with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Murong Changfeng, the Northern Mu royal family, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Mausoleum, the sixth prince of Northern Mu, Murong Xu, failed in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, and was then hunted down by the victor, Murong Chang, Mingzong of Northern Mu. Almost all the generals died in the battle before Murong Xu's pregnant side was taken away.

The concubine was sent to the Central Plains. After arriving in the Central Plains, the concubine died of illness due to the fright and the pain of giving birth. After learning about it, Emperor Gaozong made proper arrangements and granted the title of Marquis of Linyang County to the newly born Murong Qiu.

Later, Murong Qiu became Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Murong Changfeng was a descendant of Murong Qiu.

Zhong Roulan took a breath when she saw Murong Changfeng's face. If you only looked at the left side of his face, he could be regarded as a rare handsome man in the world, but on the right side of his face, there was a large ink-colored birthmark, which looked a bit leaky.

He had a sinister look in his eyes, Zhong Fan sent him over firstly to show his goodwill, and secondly probably because Murong Changfeng's appearance and character were difficult to tolerate among the Zhendong Army, which was always cheerful and cheerful.

"Murong Changfeng, you were recommended by my brother. I know a little about your abilities. What do you think you can do?" Zhong Roulan asked lazily after adjusting her mood.

"Princess, I want to be a spy." Murong Changfeng was not polite at all.

"Well, that's fine. Marquis Pingyang and I have never chosen a suitable person for the position of Luantai envoy. Since you recommended yourself, you must be somewhat confident, so let's do it first." Zhong Roulan was not surprised, regardless of Murong's ability.

Anyway, with this confidence and that face, he is a born spy.

"Thank you, Princess." The crisp reply made Zhong Roulan's favorable impression of him go up a notch.

"Everyone, sit down. There must be something big happening when you come here during the Dragon Boat Festival, but it doesn't matter. Let's talk while we eat." Zhong Roulan reached out and motioned for the three of them to sit down.

"Princess, the envoy from Yuzhang has come to Chuzhou and wants to join us." Tang Yuan said in a low voice.

It's interesting. This news sounds exciting enough, but Zhong Roulan still doesn't feel too happy. Instead, she doesn't care. Zhong Roulan filled the three glasses of wine with her own hands and asked: "Is it Zhuo Dingfeng's messenger or...

The messenger of Zhuo Tianya?"

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a questioning look on his face: "The person who came here said that he came on the order of the family head. Is there anyone else besides Zhuo Dingfeng who is the head of the Zhuo family?"

"After the tragic defeat of Zhuo Dingfeng in Luling, there was internal fighting within the Zhuo family. Zhuo Dingfeng is now in Jiujiang. Zhuo Tianya, the second wife of the Zhuo family, is in charge here in Yuzhang. So it's hard to say who the head of the Zhuo family is now." Murong

Changfeng said softly.

Zhong Roulan was not dissatisfied with Murong Changfeng's interruption. Instead, she stared at Murong Changfeng with interest and motioned for him to continue speaking.

"My subordinate Meng Lang! Please forgive me, Princess." Murong Changfeng realized that in order to show off, he had forgotten that the real controller of the Qingluan Army was Zhong Roulan.

Zhong Roulan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Murong came here with a certificate of surrender. Let me hear if you have anything else to say. Today is the first time for the Qingluan Army to communicate with each other. You can say whatever you want. I don't have a General Secretary here.

ears."

Zhong Roulan's gentleness and magnanimity made Han Kou and Murong Changfeng, who had just joined, breathe a sigh of relief. They felt that although the master they were loyal to was a woman, their generosity was not inferior to that of the leading generals. Besides, who said women were inferior to men? Back then

Everyone has not forgotten Empress Zhaoyang.

"Princess Princess, I heard some news from the army of Marquis of Kuaiji a few days ago. Zhuo Dingfeng did not return to Yuzhang at all after his defeat in Luling. Instead, he followed Fan Lihu all the way north until Jiujiang and did not stop. Among the Zhuo clan

Very dissatisfied with Zhuo Dingfeng, the second-fang Zhuo Tianya, who was already as powerful as Zhuo Dingfeng's third-fang, stepped forward, and the Zhuo clan elder has already opened an ancestral hall and plans to change the head of the family." Murong Changfeng said in detail.

"Murong, do you know Zhuo Tianya?" Zhong Roulan said while raising her glass, still looking calm.

Murong Changfeng did not answer immediately, because he did not know Zhuo Tianya very well. Fortunately, Han Kou, who had not spoken, solved the embarrassment and said loudly: "Princess, I have dealt with Zhuo Tianya before, and I know him fairly well."

Second, it was only five years ago, so I’m not sure whether Zhuo Tianya has changed."

"Don't be so restrained. Let's talk about it. You see, you are all generals in the army. Why are you still afraid of a woman like me?" After saying this, he glanced at Tang Yuan who was eating and said, "Marquis Pingyang, are you?

You said a lot of bad things about me?"

When Tang Yuan heard this, he almost spat out the freshly chewed longevity fruit. Zhong Roulan was teasing him. Besides, who in Dongyang didn't know how powerful Zhong Sanniang was, which made the two commanders of the Nanchen army uneasy.

Yes, but now that the newcomers are joining the team, it is better to be honest. He quickly swallowed it and replied: "Princess, you have wronged me. Although we are familiar with Old Han, we don't have much contact. Murong and I have never had any contact. Besides, you

You’ve always been gentle and elegant, how can I say anything bad?”

Zhong Roulan glanced at him and then said to Han Kou: "As much as Han Sima says, we have to be cautious about what kind of person Zhuo Tianya is. The important thing is whether we need to let Qingluan offend Qilin."

Han Kou slowed down and said: "Zhuo Tianya, the second brother of the Zhuo family, studied under Li Qun in Xia Yang. He returned to Yuzhang from Xia Yang only after Li Qun died. Because the Zhuo family has always valued cultural heritage, for a person like Zhuo Tianya who practices martial arts

There is some rejection, Zhuo Bailing is an example, but the second wife of the Zhuo family has always controlled Yuzhang's defensive power, which also gave him an opportunity. The lower official guessed that Zhuo Tianya saw Zhuo Bailing's current status, and did not want to compete with King Yuzhang

The generals under his command compete with each other, and after all, Gu Qufeng is the top three generals under King Yuzhang."

"You mean Zhuo Tianya thinks my Qingluan Army is easy to bully?" Zhong Roulan was a little angry now.

After Zhong Roulan finished speaking, she filled a glass of wine for everyone. After drinking it, she said angrily: "Zhuo Tianya doesn't have any outstanding achievements. He wants to come to our Qingluan Army to eat meat. He has such a beautiful idea."

!Murong, please first find out who the person from Chuzhou is speaking for, Pingyang Marquis, Han Sima, you two don’t want to see him, no matter who it is, I want to kill his vigor!"

After receiving the order, Murong Changfeng said: "Princess, I am afraid it will be difficult to hide this matter from the General Secretary and the Zhengbei Mansion, especially the northern and southern yamen of the Zhengbei Mansion. They have been so pervasive in the past few months that even the people in the General Secretary have shunned them.

"

"You are the envoy of Luantai, aren't you willing to compete with them? Or do you not dare?" Zhong Roulan closed her eyes and rolled her neck, as if she was tired.

"My subordinates really want to compete with them, but I'm afraid the initial construction of the Luantai will be insufficient." Murong Changfeng did not get dizzy because of Zhong Roulan's provocation. Neither the General Affairs Department nor the northern and southern yamen of Zhengbei Mansion were made of clay.

Zhong Roulan smiled, took a piece of meat to Murong Changfeng herself and said: "Murong, it's okay. I'm so exciting to you but you won't fall for it. I can rest assured if I leave the Luantai to you. You're right, so I have to give it to you."

Find a helper and find a way for you. As long as you can hold on to Luantai, you will become famous all over the world."

"Please give me some advice, Princess!" Murong Changfeng was a little excited.

"I will help you contact Tan Guogong. He will not refuse me. Su Qing, the commander of the Mingjian Department of Zhengxi Prefecture, is very low-key, but the northern and southern yamen of Zhengbei Prefecture have not gained much advantage in her hands."

"Su Qing? I have heard of this person. This person is very low-key. She is a woman. It is said that she is the sister of Duke Tan. In addition to being in charge of the Mingjian Department, she is also in charge of the Zhengxi Mansion's inner palace." Han Kou frowned and said, Mingjian Department

She is very famous, but Su Qing is too low-key, and many people have never even seen her portrait.

"I'm here to tell you about the complicated situation of Zhengbei and Zhengxi. You guys should think about it carefully. After all, we will have to deal with each other frequently in the future. Are you interested in Zhengxi or do you have feelings for Zhengbei?" Zhong Rou

Lan said with a sense of amusement. Han Kou and Murong didn't know, but Tang Yuan knew clearly. Zhong Roulan usually talked about business at this time, so she quickly drank a glass of wine and listened.

"Then let's talk about Zhengbei Prefecture first. Zhengbei Prefecture consists of four parts. Headed by the Daijun Hou Zhang Jin and the same Junhou Ying Zongyue are the old Qilin tribes. Most of these people are Zhanchuan soldiers, 90,000 people, and Zhang and Ying Er

The second is Licheng County Marquis Gu Qufeng, who are newly surrendered from the old tribe of Qiwan Zhuo; the third is the local officials headed by Duanmu Yang, who have a good relationship with the old Qilin tribe and control the Zhengbei Prefecture.

There are about 40,000 guards; fourth, there are about 40,000 people who came from Zhengxi Mansion, led by Yu Qingwu and Teng Han, but most of them are composed of soldiers from Luling and other places." Zhong Roulan said.

When he was thirsty, Tang Yuan quickly poured a glass of wine with a glance, and Zhong Roulan drank it down without hesitation.

"These people are not the core. The core is the Qilin Guard. There are about 30,000 people. The commander of the Qilin Guard is Gan Ming. It is difficult to shake this guy's loyalty to King Yuzhang. There are also Jinyi Qilin in the Qilin Guard. What do you think?

The two yamen in the north and south are Qilin in Jin Yi, Wen Jun in the south yamen, and Xu Yu in the north yamen." Zhong Roulan finished roughly describing the composition of the northern yamen.

The three of them looked at each other, and pressure followed. This was just Zhengbei Mansion, so the three of them naturally responded. Tang Yuan did not think that he was better than the leading figures in Zhengbei Mansion; but Han Kou was confident that he could do better than Duan Muyang.

Even better; as for Murong Changfeng, his face looked ugly at the moment.

Zhong Roulan knew that they still needed to digest, so she could stop talking about Zhengbei Mansion. Then she poured a glass of wine, took a sip, cleared her throat and said: "The composition of Zhengxi Mansion seems complicated but is actually simple. I believe you

You also know that there are three departments and two supervisors in the Zhengxi Mansion. The Military Council is led by Ye Bohuai and Zhuo Bailing. These two people are not your opponents yet. The ones you should focus on should be Yu Geng, Jin Qian and Gu Yanfeng; the Government Affairs Department is headed by Deng.

Gang, headed by Xue Zhen, the government affairs under the Zhengxi Mansion are even better than the imperial court; Mingjian Division is actually a branch of Baize Guard. Recently, Baize Guard has been divided into three divisions. One is Bai Ze Zuowei, commanded by Shi Ying, Tan Guo Gong.
