In court...

Many court officials blushed and argued endlessly for Yan Yunge.

One said he would be dismissed from office or demoted to a commoner.

If one says it is inappropriate, it may backfire.

For Yan Yunge, a "local power" that is free from the court's power system, you should not be forced too quickly and be careful of being backfired.

The best way to deal with these local powers is to be gentle.

Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

Don’t try to show the authority of the court, you will be slapped in the face and beaten to the point of a slap.

but……

The court officials were all the masters who did not mind the big deal and kept trying to convince Emperor Xiao Chengwen to take severe punishment measures against Yan Yunge.

The reason is very powerful!

Pingyang County is a territory under the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Yan Yunge was an official of the Great Wei Dynasty and was awarded by the imperial court.

In this case, should Yan Yunge be governed by the imperial court?

It must be governed by the imperial court.

This is the voice of many court officials.

Some officials sneered, "The same reason can be used on Liu Zhang, so is Liu Zhang under control? What is the purpose of fighting in the north now? I think it is better to use the salt tax and sugar tax to deduct the rewards of Youzhou soldiers and horses. This also saves a transportation procedure and reduces the loss of the journey."

"absurd!"

"Shameless!"

"I am ashamed of being with He'er and others."

The court officials quarreled, and the roof of the hall was almost overturned.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen sat on the dragon throne without any panic.

While listening to the court officials’ arguments, they read the memorials from all over the country, and the news from all over the country delivered by Jinwu Guards.

Eunuch Fei whispered, "Your Majesty, it's very late."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen asked him, "Is it time to noon?"

"It's half an hour before noon."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen immediately closed the memorial. When quarrels, time always passes very quickly, especially quickly!

In a blink of an eye, two hours have passed.

"Ahem..."

He coughed twice, instantly interrupting the courtiers' dispute, making sure that everyone's eyes were on him.

He said loudly: "Don't mention this matter about the removal of Yan Yunge's official position. Yan Yunge is not guilty, so why did he get dismissed from office?

Regarding the reward of soldiers and horses in Youzhou, the Ministry of Rites, together with the Ministry of War and the Political Affairs Hall, will provide a statement as soon as possible. The court should not let down the hearts of the soldiers in front.

Although the north and south are now separated and the soldiers and horses of Youzhou are hanging alone, the front line of the border is still under the rule of the Great Wei.

The soldiers and horses of Youzhou were guarding the border for the Great Wei Dynasty, and avenging the court, the people and the late emperor. Repelling Wuheng was a great contribution.

Before his death, the late emperor was still talking about beating back to the north and taking revenge. Although the soldiers and horses of Youzhou were unable to completely kill Wuheng's troops, they could defeat Wuheng's southern invasion, at least they could see the hope of revenge in the world.

The isolation between the north and the south is only temporary. The imperial court has the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Yuzhou, and sooner or later it can be fought back to the north. The people who should be liquidated must be liquidated sooner or later, and the revenge that should be avenged will be avenged sooner or later.

In short, you should not let down the hearts of the soldiers on the border.

In addition, the Political Affairs Hall issued a document, ordering Guangning Hou Yan Shouzhan to be responsible for the defense of the border thousands of miles away.

I will hand over the northern border of the Great Wei Dynasty to the war to Hou Yan, Guangning, hoping that he will not let down my expectations, insist on guarding the border, and return the people in the northern border to a peaceful year."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

When it's time to shout slogans, the courtiers are definitely fast, good and neat.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen nodded with satisfaction, said, "Retreat!" and left in a blink of an eye.

"Greatly send your Majesty!"

...

After retreating from the court, Emperor Xiao Chengwen went to the harem.

It is almost noon, so you might as well have lunch first and then continue to be busy with political affairs.

During lunch, you can also take the opportunity to get close to the emperor.

The eldest prince has recently lost money and has lost weight.

I can walk, swaying like a little duck, rattle...

It looks very cute.

Teased my son.

The child was hungry and was making trouble for food, so he asked the nanny to take the child down.

The palace servant brought warm water, and Emperor Xiao Chengwen cleaned his hands and prepared for lunch.

He nagged with Queen Yan Yunqi, "I originally wanted to summon Yan Yunge to Jianzhou City. Your sisters have parted in the capital. They have not met for several years. They took the opportunity to let your sisters get together. As a result, Yan Yunge was not grateful at all and refused my invitation very rudely."

Queen Yan Yunqi personally prepared the dishes, and she whispered: "I have reminded Your Majesty that the fourth sister has just been out of confinement for a few days, so she is afraid she is so busy that she is not stuck in the ground. Your Majesty asked her to come to Jianzhou, and the journey was very troublesome. Most of the time she couldn't leave and could not come to Jianzhou. Your Majesty didn't believe it and insisted on letting her come to Jianzhou. He was rejected and felt that he was blind."

"I don't feel like I'm dying." Emperor Xiao Chengwen retorted.

Queen Yan Yunqi pursed her lips and smiled, following his words and not exposing him.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen snorted coldly, "Why don't you believe what I said?"

"I believe it!" Yan Yunqi looked sincere, "Your Majesty is not someone who wants to live with face. I believe that the fourth sister refused to come to Jianzhou and did not hurt Your Majesty's face. Your Majesty is just a pity."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen laughed, "You are really watching me with a joke."

"Your Majesty is such a bad word! I just remind Your Majesty that there is no need to use tricks to test the fourth sister. Your Majesty wants to use her and also guard against her. The fourth sister knows this. She is willing to be sent by Your Majesty, but she also has her own bottom line. Why don't Your Majesty keep the boundaries and be at peace with each other?"

"I am the emperor and must think about the whole world. If I were still Prince Ping of the past, I could certainly turn a blind eye to the water of the well and not overthrow the river."

"As the emperor, can't we insist on not breaking the river?"

"Are you kidding?" Emperor Xiao Chengwen asked back.

Queen Yan Yunqi smiled, "I don't understand the principle of governing the country either. But, I think your Majesty is stubborn? The most important thing at the moment is the progress of the war in the Northland. Why not let the fourth sister go? Don't always worry about the taxes in Pingyang County."

"As the emperor, how can you not worry about the taxes of a prosperous place? If I turn a blind eye to the world, it would be better to hand over the country of Wei. Or simply give up the throne and continue to be a free prince."

"Your Majesty is so serious! I think your Majesty is clearly jealous of the fourth sister."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen sneered.

He will never admit it!

He would be jealous of Yan Yunge, what a joke.

It's simply nonsense.

Yan Yunqi didn't expose him, making him sulk.

Taxation is in the hands of "local powers". As time goes by, Emperor Xiao Chengwen becomes increasingly dissatisfied.

This is also the reason why he frequently tests Yan Yunge.

As the Emperor, you must control everything.

However, under the rule of the Great Wei Dynasty, local powers were rampant, and they were like princes.

Liu Zhangdi's rebellion sounded the alarm for him.

We cannot continue to allow local power to act freely. Any time there is a slight possibility, we must take measures to separate and disintegrate. It is only a matter of regaining some power.

If local governments continue to be allowed to develop on their own, the final result will be that government orders will not leave Jianzhou City.

The court will fundamentally lose control over the local government.

At that time, will the country still be?

Local autonomy, the Great Wei Dynasty was in name only.

Just wait for one overlord to raise his arms and shout, the local government will bow down and submit to the dynasty and change the dynasty.

By then, the emperor, he, will be the sinner of the Great Wei Dynasty.

It's difficult!

Eating the food is tasteless.

After only six cents of fullness, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and asked, "Have you sent a letter to Guangning Hou?"

Yan Yunqi nodded, "The letter to my father has been sent out today. Should Your Majesty go and take a look at the Empress Dowager?"
