Reborn Queen

Chapter 121 Succession

"Have you found out?" An Chengji looked at the person standing in front of him with a gloomy expression. He thought that the news he got at that time was just an exaggeration from Iris, but he didn't expect that the result made him more angry than An Chengji imagined.

An Chengji doesn't know what Ji Youyi was like 20 years ago, but judging from the current situation, this Lu Shuyi is even more favored than when his mother and concubine were in the limelight. The only difference is that the emperor favored his mother. The concubine dotes on high-profile, while doting on Lu Shuyi is low-key.

"Yes." The man looked at An Chengji's face, and after answering, he didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he made a wrong word, he would hit the muzzle of the gun. Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness Jing Wang has a bad temper these days?

But even so, he did not escape the order of being reprimanded by An Chengji. An Chengji patted the table, pointed to the person in front of him, and finally uttered a word: "Get out!"

After getting this order, how could that person have any reason not to obey?He walked out in a hurry, afraid that if he took a step too late, King Jing would get angry again.

At this time, Liu Yuan was obviously much calmer than An Chengji, but seeing An Chengji's exposed appearance, the words in Liu Yuan's heart, "Still playing with that highness, please be safe" rolled countless times on the tip of his tongue, but he still didn't say it out. .

Today is different from the past, not only His Highness is like this, even he is like this, he used to be able to point out the country at will in front of His Highness, but now, he obviously does not have that status, thinking of this, Liu Yuan's eyes darkened.

After venting a lot, An Chengji finally looked at Liu Yuan, and his tone was much calmer than before: "I don't know what's your opinion, sir?"

The same title, but compared to before, An Chengji's tone lacked a sense of convincing, and the "Sir" also lacked a trace of respect, more like an ordinary title.

Now is obviously not the time to care about these things, and Liu Yuan has no identity or qualifications to care about these things. After glancing at An Chengji's face, he pondered for a while: "Liu Yuan thinks that His Highness need not be so anxious, let's not talk about what is in the belly of Concubine Mei. Whether the child is a boy or a girl, even if it is a prince, there are quite a few princes who died in the palace."

The last half of Liu Yuan's sentence was tinged with gloom and coaxing.

"The imperial doctor said it was a boy!" An Chengji's expression darkened again when he heard Liu Yuan's words. The imperial doctor seldom made mistakes in this regard. They said it was a boy, and nine times out of ten they would not be able to escape.

But died... Thinking of this, An Chengji's complexion improved a lot. The father is a romantic man. There are many princes and daughters, but not many survived. It's the year of the spoon dance, and it's finally in the hands of the mother and concubine?

"When the concubine was in Mrs. Lu's stomach, the imperial physicians still said it was a girl." Liu Yuan looked at An Chengji's appearance, and felt a little powerless in his heart. The problem of having a boy or a girl is difficult before the child lands. There are variables. If the imperial physician can be completely accurate, the harem will save a lot of trouble. Why doesn't His Highness understand?

When An Chengji heard Liu Yuan mentioning Lu Yanqi, his expression improved a bit. That's right, when Lu Yanqi was in Yun Wanyi's stomach, how many people swore that she was her daughter, and Lu Yuan never shied away from himself The idea of ​​wanting a daughter, even the name "Yanqi" is more feminine. Although Lu Yanqi's family still dotes on him after he speaks out, but occasionally mentioned, the Lu family still has some regrets. .

Besides, if it wasn't because everyone said that Lu Yanqi was a daughter, the marriage letter between Lu Yanqi and An Jingxing might no longer exist.Thinking of this, An Chengji's heart calmed down a bit: "Sir, what do you mean, wait for Concubine Mei to give birth before making any plans?"

"That's right, when a woman gives birth, it's a walk before the gate of hell. Isn't that what the former queen did?" Liu Yuan said, looking at An Chengji meaningfully.

When An Chengji heard this, he probably had a clue in his mind. Everyone in the palace knew how Yu Wanling died. If he wanted to do something, he could only endure it. Since there was already a Yu Wanling in the harem, why couldn't there be another Lu Shuyi?

"Besides..." Seeing that An Chengji's heart had calmed down a bit, Liu Yuan felt a little relieved, and then continued, "Even if both mother and child are safe, it will take at least 15 years for the little prince to take on the big responsibility.

Let's not talk about whether Concubine Mei can be honored and favored forever, let's talk about the emperor, although the emperor is now in his prime, after 15 years, will the emperor still be in his prime?To be disrespectful, how can there be no surprises in life? "

Hearing this, An Jingxing's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Liu Yuan with a look of uncertainty, sir, what he meant, couldn't be...but he unexpectedly met Liu Yuan's affirmative gaze.

Since the last time he made an attack on An Jingrui, An Chengji's heart has become much more ruthless, not to mention that Liu Yuan's proposal this time hit his heart even more. Thinking of this, An Chengji nodded to Liu Yuan: " This king thinks about it again."

Hearing this, Liu Yuan stood up from his seat: "Then please Your Highness, think carefully."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yuan looked like An Chengji had resigned. In the past, Liu Yuan would play chess with An Chengji to exchange feelings after finishing the business, but now, Liu Yuan obviously would not do such a thing again.

An Chengji also looked at Liu Yuan's back at this time, and fell into deep thought. Although he knew that there was a problem in the relationship between himself and his husband, An Chengji didn't know how to adjust it. As long as he got closer to his husband, the side concubine His words would come to mind, thinking of this, An Chengji closed his eyes, put Liu Yuan's question behind him, and decided to solve a series of questions about Lu Shuyi first.

Xiyuan, Xinzhou——

"General, great victory!" Meng Jiayi said, bowing his hands to Lu Yuan. As expected of General Weiyuan, he changed Xi Yuan's weak situation when he first arrived in Xinzhou, and now he has turned defeat into victory in just a few days.

Not only Meng Jiayi, but the other generals in the room looked at Lu Yuan with eagerness and reverence. This is Lu Yuan, this is General Weiyuan, and this is their god of war in Xiyuan!

"Well, everyone has worked hard." Hearing the news of the great victory, Lu Yuan nodded without moving his eyelashes, expressing his appreciation for the performance of his subordinates in the past few days, his eyes still falling on the sand table in front of him, his expression did not move.

"It's not hard work, it's all thanks to General Lu!"

"Yes, it's all thanks to General Lu!"

"If it weren't for General Lu, we might have to retreat again now!"

……

As soon as Lu Yuan said this, almost everyone waved their hands, and they all put on top hats for Lu Yuan. Hearing these words, Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "I can't do anything by myself, how can I say Is this the general's credit? Let's go, General Meng stays."

The lieutenants never expected that one day their flattery would be patted on the horse's leg. Looking at Lu Yuan, they were not very happy. They looked at each other, stopped staying, and walked out the door in twos and threes, while Meng Jiayi Standing in the house, looking at Lu Yuan who was studying the sand table, he probably knew why Lu Yuan would keep himself here.

During the march, Meng Jiayi had already seen that Lu Yuan's sentence "to take over from the general in the future" was not a joke, but Meng Jiayi never thought that Lu Yuan had already reached the point of teaching himself by hand.

Even if Lu Yuan didn't say it clearly, Meng Jiayi could see that every time the pre-war analysis, post-war summary, even how to lead the army, how to guess the psychology of the soldiers, how to treat the enemy... When Lu Yuan taught him, He didn't hide any secrets. There are some things that Meng Jiayi might not be able to realize even if he read military books all his life.

When marching and fighting, the most important thing is experience. Which general doesn't cover his experience to death?If Lu Yuan said that he wanted to recruit apprentices, how many men in Xiyuan who were determined to be here would fight for their heads, so how could they fall in love with him?

"Why are you in a daze? Come here!" Seeing Meng Jiayi's slightly dazed look, Lu Yuan frowned, and sternly reprimanded him. After seeing Meng Jiayi regained his senses, he pointed to the sand table on the table, "Although this time is a great victory , but the general is not satisfied, why didn't you chase after the second confrontation here?"

"That... poor bandits don't chase after him." Meng Jiayi looked at the place Lu Yuan pointed at and lowered his head. Although he didn't see any problem here, since the general raised it, he should have chased it at that time.

"Yes, don't chase after the poor." Lu Yuan nodded, looked at Meng Jiayi, and agreed with his point of view, but immediately changed the subject, "But that's when the other party still has spare power and may have backup. , but if you had sent some troops from this fork to outflank them back and forth, you could have wiped them all out, do you think they would be able to tell if they were yours or our reinforcements under the circumstances at that time?"

As Lu Yuan said, he pointed to an inconspicuous fork on the map. Obviously, from the perspective of the terrain, if the outflanking was carried out at that time, the Turks would not have the power to resist at all when their morale was lost.

"Besides, the Turkic is terrible is the cavalry, and you are facing the infantry. Everyone is about the same strength. At that time, they were beaten to pieces by you. What are you afraid of?" Lu Yuan said, clicking on the map, his tone was obviously dissatisfied For this battle, although it was a great victory, Lu Yuan was not very satisfied. The team he was most dissatisfied with was Meng Jiayi's team.

Lu Yuan originally just wanted Meng Jiayi to hold back the team led by Lieutenant General Ge Shu. Although Meng Jiayi did better than he imagined, he could do better, but Meng Jiayi didn't do it, which made Lu Yuan a little disappointed.

"The last general..." Meng Jiayi heard Lu Yuan's reprimand and couldn't refute it. That's right, the Turks were afraid of cavalry, and they were fighting against infantry. When the advantage was great, he didn't pursue the victory, and he didn't even think that he could use The outflanking method, General Lu should be disappointed in himself, right?

"Raise your head up!" Lu Yuan frowned seeing Meng Jiayi's bowed head, "What does a general look like if he keeps his head down?"

Hearing this, Meng Jiayi suddenly raised his head, looked at Lu Yuan's face, but still didn't dare to speak.Looking at Meng Jiayi's appearance, Lu Yuan sighed in his heart. He was still a little impatient, and immediately softened his tone: "Actually, you have completed the original task very well. I would be very satisfied with that."

Hearing this, Meng Jiayi's eyes flickered with joy. He seldom heard General Lu praise himself. Usually, he would say "not bad" at most, but today, the general used "very satisfied."

"But being satisfied with this does not mean that what you did is right." Lu Yuan looked at Meng Jiayi's expression, still showing no mercy, "Before you lead the army, you will carve the map into my heart!"

As he said that, Lu Yuan tapped on the sand table under his hands, and his tone couldn't help but become more serious. The leader of the army doesn't know the terrain, so why talk about leading the army?

"Yes." Meng Jiayi wanted to bow his head again when he heard this, but recalling Lu Yuan's reprimand just now, he forcibly held back. Meng Jiayi, who was full of thoughts about the terrain, did not see the flash of satisfaction in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the night raid with the general." Lu Yuan said, and glanced at Meng Jiayi, "Go back and get ready."

Meng Jiayi's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although Lu Yuan taught him a lot in the past few days, he never took him to do anything together. Now hearing this "together", how can Meng Jiayi not be excited?

Looking at Lu Yuan who was writing and drawing on the topographic map with a brush after speaking, Meng Jiayi hesitated for a moment, looking at Lu Yuan, hesitant to speak.

"Just say anything." After Lu Yuan felt Meng Jiayi's gaze, he didn't lift his eyes. He was still studying the map of Xinzhou. He had only been to Xinzhou once before, and he was not very familiar with the terrain of Xinzhou. Lu Yuan decided to wait and find someone to explore the blurry place on the map.

"General, why..." Meng Jiayi didn't know what to say when he said this, why did he treat himself like this?Or does the general want to accept himself as an apprentice?If the general didn't mean it, if he said it himself, would it embarrass the general?

But seeing Lu Yuan frowning slightly, knowing that Lu Yuan was a little unhappy, Meng Jiayi gritted his teeth and said what was in his heart, "Why did the general teach me alone?"

"I thought you already knew." Lu Yuan said, and glanced at Meng Jiayi. He thought this kid would be able to hold his breath, but he didn't expect to ask, but it is rare to be able to bear it until now.

Hearing this, Meng Jiayi's eyes lit up. Perhaps because he had received Lu Yuan's permission, he became more courageous and cautiously probed: "General...do you want to take me as an apprentice?"

"No," but Lu Yuan denied Meng Jiayi's flower without a word. When Meng Jiayi heard this, the light in Meng Jiayi's eyes went out a little, and there was a trace of embarrassment on his face. Lu Yuan didn't see Meng Jiayi's face, and continued to look down. Said, "I will not accept disciples, but I can teach you everything except the Lu family's marksmanship and passing inside and outside."

The second half of Lu Yuan's words almost made Meng Jiayi see the hope of turning a desperate situation into life. He looked at Lu Yuan in a daze, and at the same time, there was a trace of doubt in his heart: Why is it me?

Meng Jiayi doesn't think that he is an excellent person. Although it is really rare for a person with no background to climb from a soldier to the third-rank status in just six years, Meng Jiayi doesn't think that this will make Lu Qualifications for personal teaching from afar.

But Lu Yuan didn't give him time to doubt, and waved him: "What I told you today, you should think about it when you go back, and call Xiao Xu in when you go out."

The Xiao Xu in Lu Yuan's mouth is Lu Yuan's deputy general, and he has been with Lu Yuan since he marched and fought.Hearing this, Meng Jiayi came back to his senses, and knowing that Lu Yuan would not say anything to him, he bowed his hands to Lu Yuan and went out.

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Jiayi's back, with an unclear look in his eyes. If possible, he also hoped that the Weiyuan General's Mansion would prosper forever, but the price of longevity is too high. Even now, the emperor thinks that the Lu family is an eyesore. In this case, it is better to cultivate an heir early and let the Lu family retreat to the second line.

As for why Meng Jiayi?Lu Yuan would not tell Meng Jiayi that it was on the way here that Meng Jiayi's words "The prince will not be such a person" touched Lu Yuan's heart. He just hoped that in the future, Meng Jiayi would still never forget his original intention. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan His gaze became longer.

Meng Jiayi, who had just walked out of the room, was grabbed by someone: "What did General Lu tell you?"

Meng Jiayi looked at Wu Youde who was holding him, and shook his head: "I didn't say anything, just that I shouldn't let Vice General Ge Shu go."

As for Lu Yuan's statement "I can teach you everything except the things that are not passed on in the Lu family biography", Meng Jiayi thought and knew that he couldn't say it, so he shook his head and picked out a sentence or two that were not important.

"Did you offend General Lu?" Wu Youde looked at Meng Jiayi's expression, thinking that Meng Jiayi had been scolded by Lu Yuan, so he quickly asked in a low voice.

"Why do you say that?" Meng Jiayi looked at Wu Youde with some puzzlement in his eyes.

"Look, Lu Feiyang is just like you, he went to hold back the team of Deputy General Asuman. He didn't hold back in the end, and General Lu didn't say anything. You obviously did such a good job, why did General Lu not Accused you together?" Wu Youde said, with a trace of sympathy in his tone, compared to Lu Feiyang, Meng Jiayi was obviously treated differently.

"I didn't do well," Meng Jiayi said, shaking his head, "Maybe General Lu has other arrangements for General Lu."

Of course Meng Jiayi knew why?The greater the hope, the stricter the requirements. Lu Yuan blamed himself but did not say anything wrong with Lu Feiyang. It was obviously because he had greater expectations for himself. Seeing what Wu Youde wanted to say, Meng Jiayi immediately bowed to Wu Youde : "General Lu has other orders for this general, Vice General Wu can do it himself!"

After finishing speaking, Meng Jiayi didn't care about Wu Youde's reaction, and left first. Naturally, he didn't see Wu Youde's ever-changing expression. I'm afraid Meng Jiayi wouldn't take it seriously even if he saw it.
