257 The Great Leader and the Dragon and the Phoenix Show auspiciousness

Northland.

late at night.

Yanbei Palace.

There is news from the secret agent of Zhenbei Secret Guard——

[Wang Zhaomin has taken the bottle of poison - "Baotai Yijin Pills" and is willing to serve the king from now on. 】

Yan Wulu took the secret letter presented.

After reading it, immediately put it in a candlestick and burn it.

"Wang Zhaomin is really lucky. He can still be used by me."

The light from the burning candle reflected the young Zhenbei King's delicate face like a blade.

He smiled softly and then said out loud——

"...Tell Wang Zhaomin that I, the king, will give him a crown of great power. Give him the absolute power that represents one person under one person and over ten thousand people."

The secret agent under the throne looked shocked when he heard this, but still half-kneeling respectfully.



Inside the Jinling Palace.

Zhao Purui, the old emperor of Daqian, now intends to reduce the vassal status.

He drew up a "tender order".

However, it has not been implemented yet.

It's not because they're afraid of forcing the feudal king too much, but... there's no one to carry it out.

That night, most of the Jinling family were massacred by the demon Xie Qixing. Tens of thousands of people died. The implications were too wide.

Among them, there are many capable officials from the Six Divisions and Six Ministries.

Overnight, many official positions were vacant in the imperial court.

In this way, no one will do anything.

The old emperor needs to choose to submit to his own strength from other noble families and from the poor family members in the imperial examination to take office again.

At the same time, there are many remnant forces of the Jinling family, which contain endless anger towards the sudden death of their relatives.

For example, Yuan Tiankai, the general of the Nanzhu Kingdom, led the army and guarded the south of the dynasty, but suddenly he heard that his most beloved only daughter, Yuan Che, had died in the Imperial City Square that night...

There is also the Gu family, which has been in charge of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites for many years. Their eldest son, Gu Beiju, went south with his younger sister a few months ago to manage the Gu family's southern industry. However, before returning to Jinling, he heard that everyone in the Gu family, including himself, had always respected and loved him. My father, who was a role model, died in the Imperial City Square...

In addition, there are countless aristocratic families such as the Yuwen family of General Yuwenhu of the Beizhu Kingdom, the Cen family of the Ministry of Industry, the Han family of the Demon Suppression Department, and the Qin family.

These Jinling aristocratic families were not only obstacles to the imperial power, but they were also the pillars of the Daqian Dynasty.

Everything was destroyed overnight.

The old emperor now needs to appease the anger of the remaining aristocratic families.

In addition, the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, under the leadership of the new queen mother, seems to be becoming more ambitious and has the potential to invade the south.

Zhao Purui quietly looked at the "Tweening Order" on the Long case.

His finger knuckles slowly tapped on the wide armrest of the dragon chair.

In the ancient Han Dynasty, there was also the "Tianfa Order", but what followed was the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

If there is no ability to suppress the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, then the order of grace is just a piece of waste paper.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Purui chuckled and temporarily accepted the "Long Case" that he had already written.

"Perhaps, I won't be able to directly attack the feudal king in a short period of time."

"...We must first appease the remaining forces of the aristocratic family, gather military power, and fill the official vacancies in the six divisions and six departments of the imperial court."

The old emperor has made up his mind.

But he thought that the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang was becoming more and more important and should not be underestimated, so maybe it could be weakened first.

Zhao Purui asked Eunuch Wang next to him to bring a brand new piece of rice paper.

He wrote a secret letter, drew a big cake, and secretly sent it to the Donghu people who were attached to Wanyan Jin Kingdom.





The thirty-second year of Qianyuan.

In October of this year, King Yan Dong of Zhenbei passed away. The following month, the crown prince Yan Wulu inherited the throne and was crowned king, becoming the new King of Zhenbei.

In November of this year, Queen Mother Wanyan Lingxu integrated the internal political affairs of Northern Xinjiang, continuously strengthened the centralization of power in the central royal family, weakened the power of the Khans of other tribes, and changed the original kings of the North and South to East, West, and South. The King of the Four Courts.

At the beginning of December of this year, Daqian held the imperial examination twice a year, recruiting students from all over the world's aristocratic families and Confucian scholars from poor families to serve as officials.

In mid-December of this year, the two major vassal kings in the south, King Pingxi and King Dingnan, followed the orders of Emperor Daqian and sent protons to Jinling.

At the end of December of this year, King Donghu, who was attached to Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang... rebelled.



King Donghu, entrenched in Liaodong, occupied the entire northeastern plain, and had nearly 200,000 Donghu barbarian troops who were not afraid of death.

Originally attached to the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, he was a powerful tribal khan within the Jin Kingdom. His Donghu sergeants were even more wild and war-loving than the people in northern Xinjiang.

The Donghu are even still in a slave-tribal state where they drink hair and blood.

During marching operations, they even liked to eat their defeated enemies alive, and often took prisoners with them during the march, using them as live "military food."

Even the Jin people in northern Xinjiang are somewhat resistant and even look down on the Donghu people.

A series of reforms carried out by Queen Mother Wanyan Lingxu, the political queen of the Jin Kingdom, seriously violated the rights of the tribal khans.

...especially a subordinate Khan king like King Donghu who was extremely independent and incompatible with the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Purui, the emperor of Daqian, promised King Yu Donghu to replace him as the king of Northern Xinjiang, and said that he would send the generals of Beizhu State of Daqian and the Zhenbei army to assist him.

The king of Donghu was blinded by profit and short-sighted. He immediately killed the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin and mobilized an army of 200,000 to march westward on the grasslands of northern Xinjiang.



Northland.

Yanbei Palace.

Inside the main hall of the palace.

There was an envoy from Emperor Daqian, anxiously waiting with an imperial edict. He was the envoy sent by Zhao Purui to ask the young King Zhenbei to send troops to the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.

But at this moment, he couldn't even see the King of Zhenbei...

At the same time, Madam Zhang Chunhua's bedroom.

Countless maids were busy coming and going.

There was also a large group of palace doctors who were discussing in low voices outside the palace.

King Zhenbei sat on the main seat.

He had a cold face and said nothing, but his eyes would drift to the inner hall from time to time.

Surrounding the main hall were Princess Zhao Lingrui, his wife Jiang Yueling, Yi Qiuyue and others, all sitting quietly on the sides waiting.

The expressions on their faces were also constantly changing with worry.

Yi Qiuyue stood up several times and tried to enter the inner hall, but stopped and came back temporarily.

As the current leader, King Zhenbei would occasionally calmly chuckle and appease everyone.

But in fact, even he himself was in turmoil at the moment——

"Why is this time so much longer than Yue Ling's time?"

Finally, after nearly a morning of anxious waiting, the baby's cry interrupted the oppressive silence in the outer hall.

Along with the baby's cry, a very obvious smile appeared on the face of King Zhenbei who maintained his majesty and calmness.

The midwife who was responsible for delivering the baby also came out at this moment to report the good news to King Zhenbei.

This midwife was the one who delivered Mrs. Jiang Yueling's baby back then. She was also the most experienced and prestigious midwife in Yanbei City.

"Your Majesty, I am very happy! The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and Mrs. Zhang's is a pair of twins."

"How is Chunhua?"

"Madam Wan'an. The young prince and the young princess are also very healthy, and the young prince is even more..."

"Well, a big reward."

When King Zhenbei heard what he wanted to know, he interrupted directly, and immediately ordered a heavy reward for everyone, and then entered the inner hall first.

Princess Zhao Lingrui came forward, praised the midwife and others for taking great care of the etiquette and meticulous arrangements, and then entered the inner hall with the other two ladies.

Amidst the layers of curtains, they saw Zhang Chunhua's appearance at this time.

The beauty lies quietly on the bed.

The curtain floats around it.

Such an extremely beautiful picture is beyond compare to their arrogance.

The young King Zhenbei sat sideways on the bed, holding Zhang Chunhua's jade-white slender right hand in his hands.

He had obviously been communicating with Zhang Chunhua for a long time, and there was a look of joy on his face that was not seen outside the palace.

At this moment, he seemed to have finally removed all the shackles and disguises of King Zhenbei, and returned to his original appearance of Yan Wulu.

Zhang Chunhua's eyes were full of warmth and smiles at this moment.

Zhao Lingrui, Jiang Yueling and others came forward to express their congratulations.

Yi Qiuyue's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she immediately came to the bedside, talking to herself about how she wanted to be the godmother of the young prince and the young princess.

Zhang Chunhua looked at Yan Wulu and asked for his opinion.

Yan Wulu smiled softly and naturally agreed.

Yi Qiuyue was so satisfied that she even felt that she had made two profits at once.

The same goes for Yan Wulu, who "earned" two.

"The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, Chunhua, you have brought me great auspiciousness."

He thought that maybe it was because they were twins that the time took longer than before when Yue Ling was born.

When Zhang Chunhua heard this, he was also smiling and overjoyed.

She never thought that she would have two children at the same time, a dragon and a phoenix.

The midwives came to the palace with the little prince and princess simply wrapped.

Yan Wulu helped Zhang Chunhua sit on the edge of the gorgeous bed.

Looking at the children handed over by the midwives, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but feel a little helpless for a moment.

She suddenly reacted, looked at the people around her, and asked -

"Your Majesty, have you decided what to name our children?"

Yan Wulu heard the words and thought for a moment. He saw heavy snow falling outside the window and red plum blossoms falling in the courtyard.

"The red cotton is cold in the sky, and the soil is fragrant when it falls."

He suddenly turned and said——

"...The little princess will be called Ningxiang. Yan Ningxiang."

"Yan Ningxiang."

Zhang Chunhua repeated, a little lost, and then smiled, "What a good name."

"...So, where is the young prince?"

Yan Wulu smiled and said casually——

"I think this kid has fat arms and legs. I think he will be a strong kid in the future. Then he will be called... Yan Dazhuang..."

Yan Wulu said.

Zhang Chunhua's face was instantly filled with surprise.

The people around Zhao Lingrui, who were still slightly intoxicated by the name of Princess "Yan Ningxiang", also suddenly looked shocked.

Yan Wulu felt that something was getting wrong in the atmosphere, so he immediately chuckled and changed his words: "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

"He is my first son. Our Yan family has been based on the military for generations. He should be a brave and invincible god of war. It is called... Yan Zhan."

Zhang Chunhua felt inexplicably relieved as he listened.

Although this name still feels perfunctory, at least it is much better than Da Zhuang...

"Yan Zhan. Zhan'er, Zhan'er."

Zhang Chunhua read it and felt more and more fluent, "I believe that Zhan'er will definitely be an invincible hero in the world. Just like you, the king."

"...He is your son, Your Majesty, your first son. He will never disappoint your expectations."

As Zhang Chunhua spoke, his eyes seemed to become more and more fanatical.

Yan Wulu stretched out his hand to hold the other person's palm tightly, and said softly and gently——

"Zhan'er is your and my child. Naturally, he will not let us down."

Zhang Chunhua also suddenly came to her senses, and she smiled softly...

Everyone around you is in harmony.

Only Princess Zhao Lingrui's originally joyful face suddenly became depressed because of the few words she just said.

A great hero who is invincible in the world?

The air pressure around her was extremely low, and she quietly left the place first.

Jiang Yueling is also a person who has spent a long time with Zhao Lingrui in Northern Xinjiang.

She was keenly aware of Zhao Lingrui's departure at this moment.

In order to prevent Yan Wulu from noticing that Zhao Lingrui disappeared alone, Jiang Yueling silently took Yi Qiuyue away.

"Give Brother Wulu and Sister Chunhua some time to spend alone together."

Jiang Yueling said secretly.

Yi Qiuyue heard the sound and saw that Princess Zhao Lingrui had left.

She stretched out a finger and shook it, silently saying that you and Her Royal Highness will see the opportunity.

Then he left with Jiang Yueling.

After the midwife took over the young prince and princess, she also retired to take care of the children.

The other maids were also rejected by Yan Wulu.

Yan Wulu looked at Zhang Chunhua's beautiful face quietly. He gently stroked his hands to smooth some of his hair...

Zhang Chunhua's face looked a little frail and pale at this moment, and he had been looking much weaker than Jiang Yueling's condition at the beginning.

Presumably it was because she gave birth to two twins, or because her physique was different from Jiang Yueling's.

"Thank you very much, Chunhua."

Yan Wulu said.

At this moment, he was very grateful to the other party in his heart. Although it was the simplest words, it was also the most sincere feeling.

"king……"

Zhang Chunhua said, but Yan Wulu stretched out his slender index finger to his lips to indicate.

Zhang Chunhua smiled lightly, as he had always done in the past.

In intense nights alone together, Yan Wulu would always ask the other person to call him by his name.

Zhang Chunhua immediately changed his address and said: "Wulu, you don't need to thank me. I love you, I love you very much."

"...It feels like I have loved you for three lifetimes."

Zhang Chunhua said, there is no reason.

Yan Wulu took him into his arms and hugged him.

He feels very lucky.

And Zhang Chunhua feels the same way.

She secretly raised her head and looked at Yan Wulu, as if her sweetheart hadn't been as happy as today for a long time.

She suddenly murmured——

"Wulu, I hope I can share the shackles of King Zhenbei with you."

Yan Wulu was a little dazed, but then he chuckled and responded, "Chunhua, having you by my side is the best way to share my burden."





For the Wanyan Jin Kingdom in northern Xinjiang, although King Donghu's rebellion was fierce, it was not fatal.

What they really need to be wary of is the south.

Without the encouragement and support of the Southern Central Plains, no matter how stupid King Donghu was, he would not be stupid enough to dare to directly become an enemy of his suzerain country.

The queen mother of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Lingxu, actually felt that this time was a great opportunity.

She is now embarking on a grand system reform and urgently needs to use the blood of the opposition khan to establish her prestige.

And King Donghu is just right.

However, in order to minimize losses, she currently needs the power of the south.



The young King of Zhenbei is sitting on the throne.

Now he finally knew that his father's method of dragging the Daqian envoy was really a good method.

Now he has what he needs - the secret document of the Queen Mother who discusses the political affairs of Northern Xinjiang.

King Zhenbei had already known about the imperial edict of the Daqian envoy before leaving Jinling.

The imperial edict required the Zhenbei Army to make the Northern Expedition.

The secret document on Wang's case in front of him is another request, hoping that the Zhenbei Army will not attack the Kingdom of Jin.

King Zhenbei had an idea, and he was ready to agree to both sides and get the benefits of both sides.
