Yan Yunge sent a letter to the second sister of the queen.

In the letter, she mentioned implicitly that she would speak out if necessary.

My dear sisters, if you can help, you will definitely contribute.

Upon receiving the letter, Queen Yan Yunqi sighed.

She didn't hide it from the emperor and said bluntly: "The fourth sister should know everything! But she did nothing, which shows that she has been thinking about me in her heart, and she is not as unbearable as His Majesty said."

"Yeah?"

Emperor Xiao Chengwen picked up the letter and browsed it quickly.

"She is indeed affectionate and righteous to you and the prince now, but she still cannot change my view of her. I don't trust her."

Queen Yan Yunqi smiled bitterly and did not argue.

"If I have difficulties in the future, can I ask the fourth sister for help?"

"What are you going to do? Let her lead troops into Jianzhou City? Don't be confused. Has she been to Jianzhou once since she started her career in Pingyang County? Do you know why? Because she is afraid of death. The reason for her is because she is guilty."

"But my elder sister has never been to Jianzhou for so many years."

"That's because your elder sister doesn't want to make you embarrassed. But Yan Yun is different. She and the court have millions of yuan in trade and tax transactions every year, but she never set foot in Jianzhou City. Apart from being guilty and afraid of death, I can't find a second reason."

When Queen Yan Yunqi heard this, she suddenly felt depressed.

Deep in her heart, the person she trusted the most was always the fourth sister Yan Yunge, not the court officials.

But……

Why……

"Forget it, I'll listen to you. You won't harm me, let alone the emperor."

"Of course! Everything I do now is for you and the emperor."

...

Yan Yunge had a good intention and put it into pieces.

The emperor was very cautious about her.

She had expected all this.

Looking at the second sister's reply, she sighed, and then put the letter in the brazier and burned it all.

As a strategist, Mr. Ma naturally has to be conscientious and responsible.

He used his sarcasm and incited, "It can be seen that Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against his wife. Before dying, he must be on guard against his wife. Why should the wife keep her promise? It is better to raise troops to go south and take down a few county towns first."

Yan Yunge had a stern face, "Don't bewitched! What my wife said must count. You will never use any weapons against the Southern Wei within this year."

"If you don't use any war this year, what about next year? Although Beiliang is poor, it is a difficult bone to crack. Even if you bite it, you will have to spend several times of your energy to manage and guard. Due to the identity of his wife, many families in Beiliang do not recognize his wife. The wife must have a clear idea!"

There is very little private trade between Pingyang County and Beiliang, so Yan Yunge's influence in Beiliang is far less than her influence in the Southern Wei Dynasty.

In the Southern Wei Dynasty, many people, including Pingyang County, have a good impression of Pingyang County and are willing to leave their hometowns to work and earn money in Pingyang County.

Beiliang is not good.

Beiliang has changed hands several times, but except for the official trade transactions, the people have basically cut off contacts for six or seven years.

Six or seven years is enough to change a lot.

From top to bottom, from aristocratic families to the people, all of Beiliang were prejudiced against Yan Yunge.

The biggest obstacle is because she is a woman.

Cheap goods produced in Pingyang County will hardly enter the hands of the people of Beiliang.

so……

The effort spent on sending troops north to attack Beiliang and stabilizing people's hearts was several times higher than that of sending troops to Southern Wei.

This is also the biggest reason why Mr. Ma has always insisted on sending troops to the Southern Wei Dynasty.

First take off the bones that are easy to chew, and finally chew the hardest bones.

It is easy first and then difficult, not difficult first and then easy.

However, Yan Yunge was persistent in keeping with his promises, and in addition to the difficulties in actual conditions, he always refused to send troops south.

Mr. Ma was very disappointed.

"Why is the lady so persistent? The emperor is so cautious about her, why should she be polite?"

Yan Yunge said loudly: "If the emperor dies this year, my nephew will be the legitimate heir to the throne. My second sister is the regent.

If you ask me to raise troops to go south, it is equivalent to seizing my nephew's country and attacking my second sister's majesty in the court.

Also, do you really think that Ling Changzhi and Shi Wen are vegetarians?

In just a few years, Ling Changzhi was able to seize thousands of miles of southern border, expand territory for the Southern Wei Dynasty, increase production and income, and transport ships of gold, silver and jewelry back to Jianzhou City, which was not an ordinary person.

Once the war begins, Mrs. Ben will face the situation of fighting against Ling Changzhi Shiwen. However, Mrs. Ben is not ready to start a war with these two people. She hastily sent troops south, but Mrs. Ben is not optimistic about the result.

Also, I said that I would not fight unprepared wars. I planned to attack Beiliang for several years. It took several years to send spies to spy on intelligence and buy officials.

At this time, it was ridiculous that you asked me to give up attacking Beiliang and head south to Southern Wei!

Not to mention the problem of insufficient troops, there were not enough spies in the Southern Wei Dynasty and had mature layouts, so this battle could not be fought at all.

Don't talk to my wife, Mr. Tihu, he was stirring up the wind and rain in the court, to prevent the court from storming troops to the north while the seven counties were empty.

Mr. Hu did a good job. It seems that the emperor has no intention of sending troops to the seven counties.

But if I rush my troops south, it will be another situation. Everything Mr. Hu has worked hard before will soon become a bubble.

Those officials who have benefited can prevent the court from sending troops to seven counties, but will not prevent the court from resisting the troops going south."

Mr. Ma sighed repeatedly, regretting to miss a great opportunity again.

"The emperor will be busy solving people who are threatening the imperial power, and has no time to take care of the seven counties and the Beiliang. A great opportunity, I missed it for nothing, alas..."

Yan Yunge snorted coldly, "Don't worry. If one day I really want to send troops south, my wife will definitely compete with the court in a dignified manner."

"Is there really a day when the troops are sent south? At that time, will the lady not have to worry about her nephew and the regent queen mother?"

"This is one time and another. So, before this lady makes up her mind, don't talk too much. Especially not to talk nonsense in front of the princess."

"Don't worry, the students are responsible. Students only mention these words in front of the wife, and outside, and ensure that a single word is not disclosed."

“So great!”

After suppressing Mr. Ma's heart, Yan Yunge felt very tired.

A hero in troubled times is not easy to do!

This world is suitable for hypocrites like Liu Zhang to dominate the world.

A person with a conscience like her will eventually suffer.

Family affection and interests...

How to choose?

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

...

Liu Baoping is in a bad situation and Liu Baozhu is worried.

She tried to write to her elder brother Liu Baoshun, but she fell into a sea of ​​trouble and never received a response.

She also tried to write to Liu Baoping, but she also received no response.

The two brothers have completely moved her out of the Liu family's internal struggle and are not allowed to participate.

Liu Baozhu wrote to Yan Yun to complain.

Yan Yuntong promised him that if there was a need, he would save Liu Baoping's life.

He can't do more things.

At this time, he was actually more worried about Queen Yan Yunqi and his fourth sister Yan Yunge.

...

Emperor Xiao Chengwen has been in court for several days and has not been to court.

Now, the court officials knew that the emperor might have reached the last moment and that his life would be in the near future.

Empress Dowager Tao said nothing wrong.

Once the emperor passes away, the only prince Xiao Yan inherits the throne.

However……

The prince was young and was just a little kid, which meant that the empress dowager had to come forward to govern and support the young emperor.

So, the court officials stared at the Warm Heart Pavilion where the emperor lived, while staring at the Cining Hall where the Empress Dowager Tao lived.

Since Empress Dowager Tao made a big fuss in the Golden Palace, she has never taken a step forward in the Cining Palace.
To be continued...
