You Yan, Yi Jing.

In a certain room in the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Jianan was pacing back and forth anxiously in the room, his expression full of panic as he didn't know what to do...

"Deng Deng Deng..."

Anxious Zhao Jianan walked faster and faster in the room. Just when he could hardly wait any longer, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Jianan immediately rushed forward and asked the visitor:

"Mr. Sun, how is my father now?"

Facing Zhao Jian'an's inquiry, Sun Zhunde, who was involved in politics in Youyan and was another great adviser under Zhao Fuqu, shook his head and said:

"We don't know the specific situation yet, but we just know that the old commander was indeed injured when he was assassinated by a killer from the Supervision Department!"

Zhao Jianan looked a little disappointed when he heard this, and then he seemed to remember something and asked:

"Isn't there any news from the Hu family?"

In order to secure his status as the heir, Zhao Jianan usually gave Hu a lot of benefits, Zhao Fuqu's favorite concubine, and her two brothers. This was so that Hu could blow the pillow next to Zhao Fuqu's pillow.

Feng Shuo talks well about himself and can tip him off at a critical moment!

Sun Zhunde still shook his head and said:

"The message from Hu may be on the way, but I have indeed not received the message now!"

Unlike Huang Wenze, Zhao Fuqu's most trusted advisor, who stayed aloof and stayed out of trouble, among Zhao Fuqu's sons, Sun Zhunde had already placed his treasure on Zhao Jian'an, the eldest son...

···

Zhao Jian'an couldn't hide his disappointment when he said this. He now urgently wants specific news about his father, Zhao Fuqu. No matter whether the news is good or bad, if Zhao Fuqu's injury is okay, then he will continue to grow old.

He will defend the rear for his father honestly, but if things change, he must take decisive action!

What he is most worried about now is this situation of not knowing anything, which makes him wonder whether he should be prepared! If he is not prepared, he is afraid of losing the opportunity, and if he is prepared, he is afraid that his father will find out later that he cannot explain it.

, in short, Zhao Jianan is now in a dilemma!

Seeing the disappointment in Zhao Jianan's expression, Sun Zhunde hesitated and warned:

"My eldest son, whenever there is a moment of calm in an important matter, I think we should stand still at this moment!"

After listening to Sun Zhunde's words, Zhao Jianan's expression changed and he immediately asked:

"Mr. Sun, do you think there is nothing wrong with father?"

Under Zhao Jianan's gaze, Sun Zhunde hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said:

"Although there is no definite news about the situation of the old commander, some news has been sent back from Jinzhong. This time Feng Han led his troops to attack. More than 7,000 people of our unit were killed and more than 8,000 were injured. Although the losses were not huge,

Although it was small, Jinzhong City was still defended, and most importantly, the front line suddenly required a lot of money and food supplies..."

Regarding Sun Zhunde's words, Zhao Jian'an thought for a while but still didn't understand what he meant, and asked with some confusion:

"Mr. Sun, isn't it normal for the frontline to lose a battle and suffer heavy losses and need money and food supplies?"

Seeing that Zhao Jianan didn't understand, Sun Zhunde could only explain in detail:

"My eldest son, the deputy general next to the old commander is General Jin Zhengrui. This man is a mature and prudent man, and his behavior is average.

Safety is the most important thing. When marching and fighting, troops rarely take risks. If something happens to the old commander, then what will happen to the soldiers in the land of Yunbin?

The command of our Yan Army must be taken over by General Kim Jung-rui. Therefore, in order to preserve the main force of our army, General Kim Jung-rui will most likely

Nine, will choose to follow the cloud and retreat!"

"And if this is the case, then there is no need for General Kim Jung-rui to ask for a large amount of money and food supplies from our rear. From this, I infer that the command power should still be in the hands of the old commander. Since the old commander still has the command power, the injury should be

It’s not a big problem!”

Listening to Sun Zhunde's analysis, Zhao Jian'an suddenly realized and bowed to Sun Zhunde:

"Sir's words were like clearing the clouds and revealing the sun, which made me suddenly enlightened!"

Listening to Zhao Jianan's praise, Sun Zhunde also felt a little proud, but he still said modestly:

"It's just my humble opinion. The eldest son deserves the reward!"

"If my guess is correct, the commander is not in serious trouble. If there is no news coming back from the front line, then it is very likely that the commander gave the order to block the news...

··”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jianan seemed to realize something, but he asked Sun Zhunde with some uncertainty:

"Mr. Sun, do you mean that Father, he wants to test the reactions of our brothers?"

"That's right!"

Sun Zhunde nodded affirmatively, and then continued to offer advice:

"Now, whether it is strength, reputation, or status, it all belongs to you, eldest son. There is no need for you, eldest son, to do anything extra. You can pretend that you don't know anything and stand still, and then secretly spread the news about the old commander's accident.

I gave it to the Second Young Master and made him jump up and down anxiously..."

Zhao Jianan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he was ready to move. In feudal etiquette, the eldest son is the natural successor. Although Zhao Jianan is Zhao Fuqu's eldest son, unfortunately he is not the legitimate son, but only the eldest son of Zhao Fuqu in his later years.

The result of others being content with others!

It is precisely because of this background that even though Zhao Jianan tried very hard to be a good person and make himself appear to be generous, humble, low-key, diligent and studious, and possessing all the characteristics of an excellent successor, he still stayed in Youyan because of his background.

Much criticism··················

Zhao Jianan's rival for succession is his brother who is three years younger, Zhao Jianwen, Zhao Fuqu's second son. Unlike Zhao Jianan, Zhao Jianwen was born with a golden key in his mouth. He was married to You by Zhao Fuqu.

The heirs born from the daughter of the Feng family of the Yanhao clan are different from Zhao Jianan who needs courtesy and good manners and strives to be kind to others in order to attract supporters. Zhao Jianwen was born with the Feng family as his biggest supporter!

Although Zhao Jianwen was not as diligent and studious as Zhao Jianan since he was a child, he was several times more talented than Zhao Jianan. Zhao Jianwen could learn an article that Zhao Jianan took three days to learn in one day, so Zhao Jianwen was also more talented than Zhao Jianan.

Favored by Zhao Fuqu!

However, it is precisely because his life is so smooth, he has a good family background and a good talent. This also means that Zhao Jianwen's character is not as strong and hardworking as Zhao Jian'an. He usually indulges in sensuality, so he often suffers from Zhao Fuqu.

scold··············

This time Zhao Fuqu went to Yunbin. Although Zhao Jianwen was not arranged by Zhao Fuqu, it seemed that Zhao Jian'an had won the final victory in the succession battle. However, Zhao Jian'en never dared to be careless, because his second brother Zhao Jianwen had nothing to do with him.

In addition to Feng's help, the more important reason is that his cousin Zhao Yong is on Zhao Jianwen's side, and Zhao Yong has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and was arranged by Zhao Fuqu to be in charge of Zhuo County!

To be honest, Zhao Yong was not on Zhao Jianwen's side from the beginning. He even said that because of his background, he was more inclined to Zhao Jianan's side!

Zhao Yong was born in a grassland family. When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he was wanted by the government for killing someone during a fight. He wandered in the green forest in fear all day long. Later, Zhao Fuqu's power in the army grew day by day, so Zhao Yong joined Zhao Fuqu and became a general.

Zhao Fuqu has a strong warrior who can fight and fight!

Although he was very brave in combat and dared to risk his life with the enemy, he had not gone to school for a few days and had no education. In addition, he had lived in the green forest, so he brought some green forest habits into the army. Not only did he have very low requirements for military discipline among his subordinates,

, allowing his soldiers to harass the people, and even backing some gambling stalls and banks, taking dividends as a filial piety...

When Zhao Jian'an first came to power, he encountered Zhao Yong's bad things. At that time, Zhao Jian'an was also very courageous. In order to establish prestige in the government and win the hearts of the people, he did not hesitate to kill Zhao Yong's corrupt officials.

The soldiers who harassed the people, and the gambling banks that were established illegally and destroyed people's lives, were shut down, and all those involved were brought to justice!

Among these people were Zhao Yong's brother-in-law and trusted generals who had been friends with Zhao Yong for many years. Zhao Yong personally went to Zhao Jian'an to plead for these people. However, because of the strong public opinion in Youyan at that time, Zhao Jian'an hesitated again and again, but still did not ask for mercy.

Zhao Yong compromised and executed these people in accordance with the law.

As a result, although Zhao Jianan established prestige in the government and won a good reputation among the people, he also completely offended the military leader Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong once again publicly stated that he and Zhao Jianan were incompatible with each other after a drunken banquet.

And he completely sided with Zhao Jianwen!

Zhao Jianwen, who already had the support of the Feng family, became even more powerful after getting Zhao Yong. Not only did he have money and power, he also had soldiers. He was ambitious and coveted the position of his eldest brother's heir, and became Zhao Jian'an's confidant.

Jian'an thinks about how to get rid of this younger brother all the time...

·······················

······················,

In Dongning, from the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, the sound of reading could be heard.

The late emperor's career was not even half-way when the middle road collapsed. Today, Yizhou is suffering from fatigue. This is the autumn of the sincerity's survival. However, the ministers of the bodyguard are tireless in the internal affairs, and the loyal people forget themselves outside. This is the special experience of pursuing the late emperor.

, I want to repay His Majesty. It is sincerely advisable to open a holy hearing to honor the legacy of the late emperor and to magnify the spirit of the people with lofty ideals. It is not advisable to belittle oneself, introduce unjust words, and block the road of loyalty and remonstrance.

In the palace and in the mansion, they are all integrated. There should be no similarities or differences in terms of punishments. If there are those who commit crimes and are loyal and good, they should be punished and rewarded by a judge to show your majesty's common sense. It is not suitable to be partial and make different laws inside and outside.

·············

The two little maids were holding books, squealing, and reciting the instructions for apprenticeship in a serious manner. Not far away from them, An Miaoyi was sitting on the Taishi chair, looking at the candied fruit in front of her with some eagerness and some hesitation.

A few days ago, while being affectionate with Ye Mingsheng, Ye Mingsheng accidentally talked about prenatal education. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener did.

Although she was skeptical about whether the baby in her belly could hear the sound of reading, An Miaoyi felt free to give it a try. It would be a pity to succeed, but there would be no loss in failure, so she found two little maids to do it every day.

Reading beside me, sometimes even reading to the baby in my belly in person

The list of apprenticeships written by Marquis Zhuge Wu to his empress Liu Chan was specially selected by An Miaoyi from a large number of classics and scriptures. Only she knew the reason for choosing the apprenticeship list.

As the saying goes, sour children and spicy girls, but An Miaoyi didn't know why, during the period of pregnancy, she didn't like to eat sour food, nor did she like to eat spicy food, but she especially liked to eat sweet food...

············

Although sweets are very expensive in this feudal era, as Ye Mingsheng's wife, An Miaoyi still wants sweets. However, every time she eats sweets, An Miaoyi will think of what Ye Mingsheng said, always eating sweets is good for you.
To be continued...
