Three years and seven months later.
Almost all the inns in the city are occupied, and there are no vacant inns. Young people full of hope can be seen everywhere.
Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.
Mu Changyan replied: "Yes, there is constant friction between the southeastern border and You Country. The general said that he would take Tie Liuhuo to move southeast to shock You Country. Tie Liuhuo has not experienced a war since its reconstruction. Although it is brave, We don’t have much experience on the battlefield, so the general’s intention is to train our troops in battle.”
Empress Dowager Su softened her tone, leaned over and helped Mu Changyan up with one hand: "You are Dayan's hope, and I have high expectations for you, so I am strict. I think back then Dayan dominated the north and was almost unified. How majestic that is. The mortal enemies of Youguo, Hanguo, and Yongguo all surrendered, and even my home country, Great Zhao, sent people to express their respect. Don’t you want to restore Dayan’s glory?”
However, the moment he returned to Fang Gucheng and saw Queen Mother Su's eyes, he knew that he had failed.
Ye Yun.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her... If it weren't for the face of the royal family and the face of you, King Yan, this woman would have died hundreds of times. "
royal palace.
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."
The Imperial City Tianji Palace was built in the back city of Fanggu City, only ten miles away from the north city wall. Thirty miles outside the north city wall is a branch of Cangman Mountain, which is called Yanshan here. After crossing the Yan Mountain and heading north, there is a piece of land called Dayan... The reason why it is called the land is because the place is controlled by the grassland nomads and nominally belongs to Dayan, but Dayan does not have many people stationed there.
Before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "You worry too much. How can a king look forward and backward? Especially in military affairs, decisions should be made immediately. The words of the two generals can also supervise and compare each other, and even more It will be beneficial to the development of the military defense of our country. Su Zongfeng, the Marquis of Chongming, is a humble man and loyal to our country. I think he will be of great use... I will mention this matter in court later and let the important civil and military officials see it. Let’s see if it’s feasible. I’ll leave Tie Liuhuo to Fang Zhiji, and leave all other military matters to Su Zong.”
royal palace.
Fanggu City is a very strange city, the strangeness lies in its shape. Other cities are generally built in a square and regular shape. Although Fanggu City has the word "square" in its name, it is not square at all. Viewed from a height, Fang Gucheng looks more like a huge bull's head. There are two city walls extending outward in a half-moon shape, which are the horns. The main city is larger at the back and thinner at the front. Such a strange architectural style is unique in the world.
It is said that Fanggu City was exactly the same as the cities in other places, square and regular. But the second generation king of Yan, King Muyun of Yanwen who almost unified the sixteen northern kingdoms, personally designed and rebuilt this place. It has to be said that this construction style that abandons aesthetic concepts has indeed greatly improved defense. The horns protruding from both sides can increase the attack surface of the attacking party. Moreover, the two sections of the Niujiao Wall can be cut off, so even if the enemy kills them, there is no point.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
"The descendants are all from the State of Zhao. On the surface, the State of Zhao seems to be friendly to me, Dayan, but this kind of behavior is clearly to destroy me, Dayan, without fighting. Your Majesty... My slave mentioned it last time. Your Majesty, you can't just do this. Keep it up, most of the old ministers are from the Queen Mother, and the backbone is also from the Queen Mother. If the king wants to succeed, he needs to recruit young talents. In any case, King Qiucheng Dadian has to recruit some young talents and slowly cultivate loyal ones. Heart, just wait for the time to come..."
Mu Changyan felt better and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "With such a grand occasion, why worry about Dayan's revival."
Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
Ye Yun.
With a plop, Mu Changyan fell to his knees and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must obey my mother's teachings."
Tianqizong.

Moreover, the two sections of the Niujiao Wall can be cut off, so even if the enemy kills them, there is no point.
Facts have proved that Queen Mother Su's eyesight is indeed very good. The most courageous thing Mu Changyan has done in his life is to go to Huanshi Changju City to protect Ye Yun. But after returning, the moment he saw Su Qingnuan, this courage disappeared.
he muttered.
Before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "You worry too much. How can a king look forward and backward? Especially in military affairs, decisions should be made immediately. The words of the two generals can also supervise and compare each other, and even more It will be beneficial to the development of the military defense of our country.

I will mention this matter in court later and let the important civil and military officials see it. Let’s see if it’s feasible. I’ll leave Tie Liuhuo to Fang Zhiji, and leave all other military matters to Su Zong.”
Mu Changyan stood there blankly, with a miserable look on his face.
"don't want!"
As for the fact that the front city is narrow and the rear city is wide, it is because the width of the rear city is conducive to the deployment and deployment of one's own forces. The front city is narrow, so it is difficult for the attacking side to fully deploy its forces.
Mu Changyan said: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and take a walk. It's so depressing here that it's uncomfortable."
"Why, no explanation?"
Mu Changyan stood there blankly, with a miserable look on his face.
With a bang, Queen Mother Su slapped her hand heavily on the table: "But look at what you look like now!"
Of course, these are all legends, and ordinary people do not understand war. Moreover, although Dayan had a period of weakness that lasted for decades, there was no situation where the capital was besieged. Ten years ago, after the generals and military confidants rebuilt Tieliuhuo, the strength of the Yan army increased greatly. Although it could not return to the peak of the Mu Yun period, self-protection was no longer a problem.
Facts have proved that Queen Mother Su's eyesight is indeed very good. The most courageous thing Mu Changyan has done in his life is to go to Huanshi Changju City to protect Ye Yun. But after returning, the moment he saw Su Qingnuan, this courage disappeared.
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
Mu Changyan did not ride a horse, but walked all the way. After leaving the palace, his mood improved a lot.
The young eunuch An Chengli knelt there and looked at the king with a distressed look on his face: "Your Majesty, the Autumn Ceremony is coming soon... the selection is held every five years. Now in the court, the civil servants are headed by Prime Minister Su Mao of the Left. Originally, the military still had General Fang Zhiji is a virtuous man, but this time General Fang Zhiji left the capital, most likely because of the Queen Mother forcing him to leave. If Su Zong is appointed as general again, the civil and military affairs of Great Yan will all be in the hands of the descendants. "
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
Queen Mother Su Qingnuan is only thirty-nine years old this year. If it weren't for her biological son's early death due to illness, it would not have been Mu Changyan's turn to come back and become the king. The reason why she chose Mu Changyan was because Su Qingnuan knew Mu Changyan's temperament very well. He looks crazy, but he is actually cowardly. Moreover, Mu Changyan has no independent opinion and is often influenced by other people's opinions.
Almost all the inns in the city are occupied, and there are no vacant inns. Young people full of hope can be seen everywhere.
Because there is a super overlord Da Xi in the south, all the surrounding small countries, including the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan, dare not proclaim themselves emperors and can only proclaim themselves kings.
The current King of Yan is Mu Changyan, the third son of the former emperor who returned four years ago.
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
"What's the point of this king... doing it again?"
The current King of Yan is Mu Changyan, the third son of the former emperor who returned four years ago.
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
Before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "You worry too much. How can a king look forward and backward? Especially in military affairs, decisions should be made immediately.

I’ll leave Tie Liuhuo to Fang Zhiji, and leave all other military matters to Su Zong.”
Mu Changyan raised his head but didn't say anything. He knew that he had been defeated from the day he came back, completely defeated. On the way back with Ye Yun, he devised ten thousand ways to protect his beloved woman. He even thought that if the Queen Mother pushed too hard, he would resist, truly resist. It would be better not to have the throne than to let Ye Yun suffer.
Empress Dowager Su's tone was more gentle: "Ask An Chengli to send all these memorials to my palace, and I will help the king to review them. But I can't share everything for the king. The king still needs to make more progress in the future. "
Tianqizong.
"don't want!"
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Mu Changyan replied: "Yes, there is constant friction between the southeastern border and You Country. The general said that he would take Tie Liuhuo to move southeast to shock You Country. Tie Liuhuo has not experienced a war since its reconstruction. Although it is brave, We don’t have much experience on the battlefield, so the general’s intention is to train our troops in battle.”
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her...

Mu Changyan smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done... But Gu will not give up. You are right, Gu can pretend to be lazy and go around the capital to discover some available young talents early."
An Chengli helped Mu Changyan change into ordinary clothes, and left Tianji Palace with a dozen palace guards.
The Imperial City Tianji Palace was built in the back city of Fanggu City, only ten miles away from the north city wall. Thirty miles outside the north city wall is a branch of Cangman Mountain, which is called Yanshan here. After crossing the Yan Mountain and heading north, there is a piece of land called Dayan...

I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her... If it weren't for the face of the royal family and the face of you, King Yan, this woman would have died hundreds of times. "
He did not continue speaking because there was no need to speak too clearly.
Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.
Empress Dowager Su nodded: "In terms of using troops, there is no need to question Fang Zhiji's methods. Give Tie Liuhuo to him, and the king can let it go. However, this person does things as he pleases, regardless of the overall situation. As a general, he personally led Tie Liuhuo southward, and lost What to do with a lot of military affairs in the capital? The king can't personally train the troops, let alone handle the trivial matters of the military department. So I thought, should we restore the double general system like that of King Wen? "
Yanshan Mountain is steep, and the nomads are not good at attacking cities, so with this natural chasm, Dayan doesn't care much about the nomads in the north.
Before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "You worry too much. How can a king look forward and backward? Especially in military affairs, decisions should be made immediately. The words of the two generals can also supervise and compare each other, and even more It will be beneficial to the development of the military defense of our country.

Mu Changyan asked, and An Chengli immediately sent someone to inquire.
royal palace.
Mu Changyan replied: "Yes, there is constant friction between the southeastern border and You Country. The general said that he would take Tie Liuhuo to move southeast to shock You Country. Tie Liuhuo has not experienced a war since its reconstruction. Although it is brave, We don’t have much experience on the battlefield, so the general’s intention is to train our troops in battle.”
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her... If it weren't for the face of the royal family and the face of you, King Yan, this woman would have died hundreds of times. "
"My son... I think that if there are two generals in the court, they will inevitably hinder each other..."
"What's the point of this king... doing it again?"
Mu Changyan sat in a chair and was in a daze. In recent years, he has become more and more dazed. The pile of memorials on the table in front of him was already two feet high, but he just didn't want to look at it. There was only that woman in his mind, the woman who was now locked in a secret cell and could not even see him.
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.
Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
Mu Changyan raised her head sharply: "I know she always loves her eldest brother in her heart, but..."
Mu Changyan stood there blankly, with a miserable look on his face.
Tianqizong.
Just as he was talking, a group of carriages came in front, a series of more than thirty vehicles, which looked very impressive. At least hundreds of big men in black were accompanying them. Although they were silent, their courage was evident.
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.
Ye Yun.
Ye Yun.
"Why, no explanation?"
"The descendants are all from the State of Zhao. On the surface, the State of Zhao seems to be friendly to me, Dayan, but this kind of behavior is clearly to destroy me, Dayan, without fighting.

Mu Changyan's expression suddenly changed. He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Mu Changyan asked, and An Chengli immediately sent someone to inquire.

Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
At this moment, the little eunuch An Chengli from outside ran in quickly: "The Queen Mother is here."
Mu Changyan asked, and An Chengli immediately sent someone to inquire.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
Su Qingnuan maintains a good figure. She is less than forty years old, but there is no trace of fat on her body. There were no wrinkles on her face, but there were still traces of time at the corners of her eyes.
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
At this moment, the little eunuch An Chengli from outside ran in quickly: "The Queen Mother is here."
"Where did this people come from?"
Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
"What's the point of this king... doing it again?"
An Chengli said: "The king's plan is very good. I will arrange it now. Young talents from all over the country have almost arrived in the capital. The king simply handed over all government affairs to the Queen Mother. She feels that the king is neglected and can relax a little."
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
"You are the king of Dayan and the king of all peoples."
An Chengli said: "The king's plan is very good. I will arrange it now. Young talents from all over the country have almost arrived in the capital. The king simply handed over all government affairs to the Queen Mother. She feels that the king is neglected and can relax a little."
"Your Majesty."
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
"I see you are tired today too."
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
An Chengli helped Mu Changyan change into ordinary clothes, and left Tianji Palace with a dozen palace guards.

Su Qingnuan's voice was a little hoarse, not the kind of beautiful and gentle female voice. But this does not affect her beauty, which is a very cold, arrogant and graceful beauty. She was originally a princess of Zhao State and was married to King Yan. After King Yan died of illness, the power of the court was always in her hands. If it weren't for the fact that she had a bad reputation for becoming the king, and it was difficult to offend all the family forces, why would she bring back Mu Changyan, whom she disliked the most, to become the king.
"Why, no explanation?"

Such people are best suited to be puppets.

he muttered.
"That woman is not your woman, she is the former prince's woman!"
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
"Get up."
he muttered.
Almost all the inns in the city are occupied, and there are no vacant inns. Young people full of hope can be seen everywhere.
Empress Dowager Su's tone was more gentle: "Ask An Chengli to send all these memorials to my palace, and I will help the king to review them. But I can't share everything for the king. The king still needs to make more progress in the future. "

"No buts!"

Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
As for the fact that the front city is narrow and the rear city is wide, it is because the width of the rear city is conducive to the deployment and deployment of one's own forces. The front city is narrow, so it is difficult for the attacking side to fully deploy its forces.
However, the moment he returned to Fang Gucheng and saw Queen Mother Su's eyes, he knew that he had failed.
He did not continue speaking because there was no need to speak too clearly.
Su Qingnuan quickly walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and the two maids behind her bent over and trotted to follow. As soon as she turned around, the two little maids immediately knelt down to straighten the hem of her long dress.
"You are the king of Dayan and the king of all peoples."
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
"Where did this people come from?"
Tianqizong.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Queen Mother Su sat down on the chair, glanced at the memorials piled on the table, and her face became even more unkind.
Three years and seven months later.
Fanggu City is a very strange city, the strangeness lies in its shape. Other cities are generally built in a square and regular shape. Although Fanggu City has the word "square" in its name, it is not square at all. Viewed from a height, Fang Gucheng looks more like a huge bull's head.

Such a strange architectural style is unique in the world.
“I, Dayan, am full of talents.”
"You are the king of Dayan and the king of all peoples."
With a bang, Queen Mother Su slapped her hand heavily on the table: "But look at what you look like now!"
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her...

It would be better not to have the throne than to let Ye Yun suffer.
The Imperial City Tianji Palace was built in the back city of Fanggu City, only ten miles away from the north city wall. Thirty miles outside the north city wall is a branch of Cangman Mountain, which is called Yanshan here. After crossing the Yan Mountain and heading north, there is a piece of land called Dayan... The reason why it is called the land is because the place is controlled by the grassland nomads and nominally belongs to Dayan, but Dayan does not have many people stationed there.
Su Qingnuan maintains a good figure. She is less than forty years old, but there is no trace of fat on her body. There were no wrinkles on her face, but there were still traces of time at the corners of her eyes.
Such people are best suited to be puppets.
Mu Changyan's expression suddenly changed. He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Because there is a super overlord Da Xi in the south, all the surrounding small countries, including the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan, dare not proclaim themselves emperors and can only proclaim themselves kings.
However, the moment he returned to Fang Gucheng and saw Queen Mother Su's eyes, he knew that he had failed.
he muttered.
With a bang, Queen Mother Su slapped her hand heavily on the table: "But look at what you look like now!"
he muttered.
Mu Changyan raised her head sharply: "I know she always loves her eldest brother in her heart, but..."
She walked up to Mu Changyan, less than a foot away from Mu Changyan's face. She just stared straight into Mu Changyan's eyes and said word by word: "I said, as long as I live, you will never marry that woman. Because of her, the former prince was deposed and even died unexpectedly. I can't let her ruin my other son, and he is also the king of Dayan! She was charming and seduced the former prince, so that the former prince acted recklessly in front of the late king, and now she has fascinated you... I warn you, if you If it continues like this, I will kill her first."
With a plop, Mu Changyan fell to his knees and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must obey my mother's teachings."
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
"Why, no explanation?"
"That woman is not your woman, she is the former prince's woman!"
Just as he was talking, a group of carriages came in front, a series of more than thirty vehicles, which looked very impressive. At least hundreds of big men in black were accompanying them. Although they were silent, their courage was evident.
Of course, these are all legends, and ordinary people do not understand war. Moreover, although Dayan had a period of weakness that lasted for decades, there was no situation where the capital was besieged. Ten years ago, after the generals and military confidants rebuilt Tieliuhuo, the strength of the Yan army increased greatly. Although it could not return to the peak of the Mu Yun period, self-protection was no longer a problem.
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."
Queen Mother Su asked.
Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.
"Get up."
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
"You are the king of Dayan and the king of all peoples."
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son, I will do my best."
“I, Dayan, am full of talents.”
"My son... I think that if there are two generals in the court, they will inevitably hinder each other..."
Queen Mother Su asked.
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her... If it weren't for the face of the royal family and the face of you, King Yan, this woman would have died hundreds of times. "
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."

The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
"No buts!"
Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.

Fanggu City is a very strange city, the strangeness lies in its shape. Other cities are generally built in a square and regular shape. Although Fanggu City has the word "square" in its name, it is not square at all. Viewed from a height, Fang Gucheng looks more like a huge bull's head. There are two city walls extending outward in a half-moon shape, which are the horns. The main city is larger at the back and thinner at the front. Such a strange architectural style is unique in the world.
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
"You are the king of Dayan and the king of all peoples."

"Where did this people come from?"
Mu Changyan asked, and An Chengli immediately sent someone to inquire.
Mu Changyan's expression suddenly changed. He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Mu Changyan said: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and take a walk. It's so depressing here that it's uncomfortable."
She walked up to Mu Changyan, less than a foot away from Mu Changyan's face. She just stared straight into Mu Changyan's eyes and said word by word: "I said, as long as I live, you will never marry that woman. Because of her, the former prince was deposed and even died unexpectedly. I can't let her ruin my other son, and he is also the king of Dayan! She was charming and seduced the former prince, so that the former prince acted recklessly in front of the late king, and now she has fascinated you... I warn you, if you If it continues like this, I will kill her first."
"The descendants are all from the State of Zhao. On the surface, the State of Zhao seems to be friendly to me, Dayan, but this kind of behavior is clearly to destroy me, Dayan, without fighting. Your Majesty... My slave mentioned it last time. Your Majesty, you can't just do this. Keep it up, most of the old ministers are from the Queen Mother, and the backbone is also from the Queen Mother. If the king wants to succeed, he needs to recruit young talents. In any case, King Qiucheng Dadian has to recruit some young talents and slowly cultivate loyal ones. Heart, just wait for the time to come..."
Mu Changyan's expression suddenly changed. He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
"don't want!"
Mu Changyan raised his head but didn't say anything. He knew that he had been defeated from the day he came back, completely defeated. On the way back with Ye Yun, he devised ten thousand ways to protect his beloved woman. He even thought that if the Queen Mother pushed too hard, he would resist, truly resist. It would be better not to have the throne than to let Ye Yun suffer.

Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
He did not continue speaking because there was no need to speak too clearly.
Ye Yun.
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
With a plop, Mu Changyan fell to his knees and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must obey my mother's teachings."

Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son, I will do my best."
"Your Majesty."
Su Qingnuan's voice was a little hoarse, not the kind of beautiful and gentle female voice. But this does not affect her beauty, which is a very cold, arrogant and graceful beauty. She was originally a princess of Zhao State and was married to King Yan. After King Yan died of illness, the power of the court was always in her hands. If it weren't for the fact that she had a bad reputation for becoming the king, and it was difficult to offend all the family forces, why would she bring back Mu Changyan, whom she disliked the most, to become the king.

Empress Dowager Su softened her tone, leaned over and helped Mu Changyan up with one hand: "You are Dayan's hope, and I have high expectations for you, so I am strict. I think back then Dayan dominated the north and was almost unified. How majestic that is. The mortal enemies of Youguo, Hanguo, and Yongguo all surrendered, and even my home country, Great Zhao, sent people to express their respect. Don’t you want to restore Dayan’s glory?”
"That woman is not your woman, she is the former prince's woman!"
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son, I will do my best."
royal palace.
"Why, no explanation?"
"I see you are tired today too."
"Your Majesty."
Su Qingnuan quickly walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and the two maids behind her bent over and trotted to follow. As soon as she turned around, the two little maids immediately knelt down to straighten the hem of her long dress.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
"Get up."
Empress Dowager Su's tone was more gentle: "Ask An Chengli to send all these memorials to my palace, and I will help the king to review them. But I can't share everything for the king. The king still needs to make more progress in the future. "
Mu Changyan sat in a chair and was in a daze. In recent years, he has become more and more dazed. The pile of memorials on the table in front of him was already two feet high, but he just didn't want to look at it. There was only that woman in his mind, the woman who was now locked in a secret cell and could not even see him.
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."

"don't want!"
Mu Changyan replied: "Yes, there is constant friction between the southeastern border and You Country. The general said that he would take Tie Liuhuo to move southeast to shock You Country. Tie Liuhuo has not experienced a war since its reconstruction. Although it is brave, We don’t have much experience on the battlefield, so the general’s intention is to train our troops in battle.”
However, the moment he returned to Fang Gucheng and saw Queen Mother Su's eyes, he knew that he had failed.
"The descendants are all from the State of Zhao. On the surface, the State of Zhao seems to be friendly to me, Dayan, but this kind of behavior is clearly to destroy me, Dayan, without fighting.

Heart, just wait for the time to come..."
Mu Changyan felt better and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "With such a grand occasion, why worry about Dayan's revival."
With a plop, Mu Changyan fell to his knees and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must obey my mother's teachings."
Empress Dowager Su nodded: "In terms of using troops, there is no need to question Fang Zhiji's methods. Give Tie Liuhuo to him, and the king can let it go. However, this person does things as he pleases, regardless of the overall situation. As a general, he personally led Tie Liuhuo southward, and lost What to do with a lot of military affairs in the capital? The king can't personally train the troops, let alone handle the trivial matters of the military department. So I thought, should we restore the double general system like that of King Wen? "
"don't want!"
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"

Because there is a super overlord Da Xi in the south, all the surrounding small countries, including the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan, dare not proclaim themselves emperors and can only proclaim themselves kings.
Yanshan Mountain is steep, and the nomads are not good at attacking cities, so with this natural chasm, Dayan doesn't care much about the nomads in the north.
Su Qingnuan quickly walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and the two maids behind her bent over and trotted to follow. As soon as she turned around, the two little maids immediately knelt down to straighten the hem of her long dress.

The young eunuch An Chengli knelt there and looked at the king with a distressed look on his face: "Your Majesty, the Autumn Ceremony is coming soon... the selection is held every five years. Now in the court, the civil servants are headed by Prime Minister Su Mao of the Left. Originally, the military still had General Fang Zhiji is a virtuous man, but this time General Fang Zhiji left the capital, most likely because of the Queen Mother forcing him to leave. If Su Zong is appointed as general again, the civil and military affairs of Great Yan will all be in the hands of the descendants. "
"That woman is not your woman, she is the former prince's woman!"
Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.
"don't want!"
With a bang, Queen Mother Su slapped her hand heavily on the table: "But look at what you look like now!"
Three years and seven months later.
"My son... I think that if there are two generals in the court, they will inevitably hinder each other..."
"Get up."
"No buts!"
"Get up."
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.

Before he finished speaking, Queen Mother Su waved her hand: "You worry too much. How can a king look forward and backward? Especially in military affairs, decisions should be made immediately. The words of the two generals can also supervise and compare each other, and even more It will be beneficial to the development of the military defense of our country. Su Zongfeng, the Marquis of Chongming, is a humble man and loyal to our country. I think he will be of great use... I will mention this matter in court later and let the important civil and military officials see it. Let’s see if it’s feasible. I’ll leave Tie Liuhuo to Fang Zhiji, and leave all other military matters to Su Zong.”

Queen Mother Su turned around, had all the memorials taken away, and walked away like the wind.

Mu Changyan smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done... But Gu will not give up. You are right, Gu can pretend to be lazy and go around the capital to discover some available young talents early."
Fanggu City is a very strange city, the strangeness lies in its shape. Other cities are generally built in a square and regular shape.

He did not continue speaking because there was no need to speak too clearly.
An Chengli said: "The king's plan is very good. I will arrange it now. Young talents from all over the country have almost arrived in the capital. The king simply handed over all government affairs to the Queen Mother. She feels that the king is neglected and can relax a little."
“I, Dayan, am full of talents.”
With a bang, Queen Mother Su slapped her hand heavily on the table: "But look at what you look like now!"
Queen Mother Su asked.
Mu Changyan smiled bitterly: "It's easier said than done... But Gu will not give up. You are right, Gu can pretend to be lazy and go around the capital to discover some available young talents early."
As for the fact that the front city is narrow and the rear city is wide, it is because the width of the rear city is conducive to the deployment and deployment of one's own forces. The front city is narrow, so it is difficult for the attacking side to fully deploy its forces.
Mu Changyan did not ride a horse, but walked all the way. After leaving the palace, his mood improved a lot.
Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."

Facts have proved that Queen Mother Su's eyesight is indeed very good. The most courageous thing Mu Changyan has done in his life is to go to Huanshi Changju City to protect Ye Yun. But after returning, the moment he saw Su Qingnuan, this courage disappeared.
An Chengli said: "The king's plan is very good. I will arrange it now. Young talents from all over the country have almost arrived in the capital. The king simply handed over all government affairs to the Queen Mother. She feels that the king is neglected and can relax a little."

I will mention this matter in court later and let the important civil and military officials see it. Let’s see if it’s feasible. I’ll leave Tie Liuhuo to Fang Zhiji, and leave all other military matters to Su Zong.”
Su Qingnuan's voice was a little hoarse, not the kind of beautiful and gentle female voice. But this does not affect her beauty, which is a very cold, arrogant and graceful beauty. She was originally a princess of Zhao State and was married to King Yan. After King Yan died of illness, the power of the court was always in her hands. If it weren't for the fact that she had a bad reputation for becoming the king, and it was difficult to offend all the family forces, why would she bring back Mu Changyan, whom she disliked the most, to become the king.
royal palace.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
"The descendants are all from the State of Zhao. On the surface, the State of Zhao seems to be friendly to me, Dayan, but this kind of behavior is clearly to destroy me, Dayan, without fighting. Your Majesty... My slave mentioned it last time. Your Majesty, you can't just do this. Keep it up, most of the old ministers are from the Queen Mother, and the backbone is also from the Queen Mother. If the king wants to succeed, he needs to recruit young talents. In any case, King Qiucheng Dadian has to recruit some young talents and slowly cultivate loyal ones. Heart, just wait for the time to come..."
Mu Changyan said: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and take a walk. It's so depressing here that it's uncomfortable."
Mu Changyan's expression suddenly changed. He had expected this day for a long time, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Almost all the inns in the city are occupied, and there are no vacant inns. Young people full of hope can be seen everywhere.
An Chengli helped Mu Changyan change into ordinary clothes, and left Tianji Palace with a dozen palace guards.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
Three years and seven months later.
Mu Changyan felt better and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "With such a grand occasion, why worry about Dayan's revival."
She walked up to Mu Changyan, less than a foot away from Mu Changyan's face. She just stared straight into Mu Changyan's eyes and said word by word: "I said, as long as I live, you will never marry that woman. Because of her, the former prince was deposed and even died unexpectedly. I can't let her ruin my other son, and he is also the king of Dayan! She was charming and seduced the former prince, so that the former prince acted recklessly in front of the late king, and now she has fascinated you... I warn you, if you If it continues like this, I will kill her first."
Mu Changyan said: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and take a walk. It's so depressing here that it's uncomfortable."
Empress Dowager Su nodded: "In terms of using troops, there is no need to question Fang Zhiji's methods. Give Tie Liuhuo to him, and the king can let it go. However, this person does things as he pleases, regardless of the overall situation. As a general, he personally led Tie Liuhuo southward, and lost What to do with a lot of military affairs in the capital? The king can't personally train the troops, let alone handle the trivial matters of the military department. So I thought, should we restore the double general system like that of King Wen? "
An Chengli helped Mu Changyan change into ordinary clothes, and left Tianji Palace with a dozen palace guards.
It is said that Fanggu City was exactly the same as the cities in other places, square and regular. But the second generation king of Yan, King Muyun of Yanwen who almost unified the sixteen northern kingdoms, personally designed and rebuilt this place. It has to be said that this construction style that abandons aesthetic concepts has indeed greatly improved defense. The horns protruding from both sides can increase the attack surface of the attacking party. Moreover, the two sections of the Niujiao Wall can be cut off, so even if the enemy kills them, there is no point.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
Mu Changyan raised her head sharply: "I know she always loves her eldest brother in her heart, but..."
Empress Dowager Su nodded: "In terms of using troops, there is no need to question Fang Zhiji's methods. Give Tie Liuhuo to him, and the king can let it go. However, this person does things as he pleases, regardless of the overall situation. As a general, he personally led Tie Liuhuo southward, and lost What to do with a lot of military affairs in the capital? The king can't personally train the troops, let alone handle the trivial matters of the military department. So I thought, should we restore the double general system like that of King Wen? "
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Mu Changyan did not ride a horse, but walked all the way. After leaving the palace, his mood improved a lot.
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Queen Mother Su Qingnuan is only thirty-nine years old this year. If it weren't for her biological son's early death due to illness, it would not have been Mu Changyan's turn to come back and become the king. The reason why she chose Mu Changyan was because Su Qingnuan knew Mu Changyan's temperament very well. He looks crazy, but he is actually cowardly. Moreover, Mu Changyan has no independent opinion and is often influenced by other people's opinions.
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Mu Changyan murmured to himself: "Gu Weike, I have made you suffer since I returned to Dayan. Don't worry, if you give Gu a while, Gu will definitely save you."
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
The Imperial City Tianji Palace was built in the back city of Fanggu City, only ten miles away from the north city wall. Thirty miles outside the north city wall is a branch of Cangman Mountain, which is called Yanshan here. After crossing the Yan Mountain and heading north, there is a piece of land called Dayan... The reason why it is called the land is because the place is controlled by the grassland nomads and nominally belongs to Dayan, but Dayan does not have many people stationed there.
However, the moment he returned to Fang Gucheng and saw Queen Mother Su's eyes, he knew that he had failed.
Almost all the inns in the city are occupied, and there are no vacant inns. Young people full of hope can be seen everywhere.
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
The capital of the Yan Kingdom was Fang Gucheng.
“I, Dayan, am full of talents.”
Mu Changyan felt better and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "With such a grand occasion, why worry about Dayan's revival."
Empress Dowager Su softened her tone, leaned over and helped Mu Changyan up with one hand: "You are Dayan's hope, and I have high expectations for you, so I am strict. I think back then Dayan dominated the north and was almost unified. How majestic that is. The mortal enemies of Youguo, Hanguo, and Yongguo all surrendered, and even my home country, Great Zhao, sent people to express their respect. Don’t you want to restore Dayan’s glory?”
he muttered.
Queen Mother Su stood up, and the maid behind her quickly followed her.
Queen Mother Su sat down on the chair, glanced at the memorials piled on the table, and her face became even more unkind.
Mu Changyan's expression changed, she quickly stood up, walked quickly to the door and leaned over to wait. As soon as the beautiful woman in palace attire appeared, he bent even lower: "My son, I pay homage to my mother."
Mu Changyan felt better and couldn't help but feel a little lost: "With such a grand occasion, why worry about Dayan's revival."
Facts have proved that Queen Mother Su's eyesight is indeed very good. The most courageous thing Mu Changyan has done in his life is to go to Huanshi Changju City to protect Ye Yun. But after returning, the moment he saw Su Qingnuan, this courage disappeared.
"Where did this people come from?"
Just as he was talking, a group of carriages came in front, a series of more than thirty vehicles, which looked very impressive. At least hundreds of big men in black were accompanying them. Although they were silent, their courage was evident.
Queen Mother Su hummed and looked around: "I heard that Fang Zhiji went out to train troops recently?"
Because there is a super overlord Da Xi in the south, all the surrounding small countries, including the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan, dare not proclaim themselves emperors and can only proclaim themselves kings.
An Chengli helped Mu Changyan change into ordinary clothes, and left Tianji Palace with a dozen palace guards.
Queen Mother Su said coldly: "I know what you are thinking, and I also know that you want to kill me. But what you are thinking in your heart will never happen unless I die. I have done my best to her. I didn't kill her at the beginning, I just imprisoned her... If it weren't for the face of the royal family and the face of you, King Yan, this woman would have died hundreds of times. "
"Where did this people come from?"
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
Ye Yun.
Mu Changyan asked, and An Chengli immediately sent someone to inquire.
Mu Changyan kept her head down, not daring to look into Empress Dowager Su's eyes: "I understand."
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
Before Ke Ren went out, he saw clearly the flags on the carriages, with three words embroidered on them.
Queen Mother Su Qingnuan is only thirty-nine years old this year. If it weren't for her biological son's early death due to illness, it would not have been Mu Changyan's turn to come back and become the king. The reason why she chose Mu Changyan was because Su Qingnuan knew Mu Changyan's temperament very well. He looks crazy, but he is actually cowardly. Moreover, Mu Changyan has no independent opinion and is often influenced by other people's opinions.
With a plop, Mu Changyan fell to his knees and said, "Mother, I know I was wrong. I must obey my mother's teachings."
The streets are bustling with people coming and going. Many young people wearing bright clothes and angry horses appeared on the street, all coming from all over the country to participate in the Autumn Festival Ceremony. The Qiucheng Ceremony is held once every five years to recruit virtuous people for the imperial court. For most children from poor families, this is the only chance to change their destiny.
Mu Changyan lowered his head: "My son is slacking off, and the mother is the one to blame. I will pay more attention in the future and never dare to neglect government affairs."
Aunt Ye, who returned with Mu Changyan, has been in prison for more than three years.
Empress Dowager Su's tone was more gentle: "Ask An Chengli to send all these memorials to my palace, and I will help the king to review them. But I can't share everything for the king. The king still needs to make more progress in the future. "
Mu Changyan raised his head but didn't say anything. He knew that he had been defeated from the day he came back, completely defeated. On the way back with Ye Yun, he devised ten thousand ways to protect his beloved woman. He even thought that if the Queen Mother pushed too hard, he would resist, truly resist. It would be better not to have the throne than to let Ye Yun suffer.
Tianqizong.
