Rebirth of the King of the World

After all, it was his own country, no matter how doubtful Emperor God Blessed was about Jun Lan's words, it was impossible for him to really ignore it.

After recalling Junlan to Yujing, the emperor sent the third prince Wei Zhan to Yizhou to take over all the affairs that Junlan was in charge of; How true is Jun Lan's words?

Because in the emperor's mind, Jun Lan didn't have the guts or reason to deceive him, but it was possible for him to exaggerate appropriately for his own convenience.

As an emperor, the most intolerable thing is that someone violates his authority, but in Yizhou, which has special geographical conditions and inconvenient transportation to the outside world, the emperor has seen this trend.

In other words, it's not that the emperor doesn't believe Jun Lan's words, but that there are some things that he doesn't want to hand over to outsiders, especially since this outsider has the same ancestor as himself, but changed his surname for a special reason.

Besides, if the situation in Yizhou is really that serious and Jun Lan handles it well, wouldn't his reputation be soaring?

The emperor didn't want to see such a thing happen, since Junlan had already controlled the situation in Yizhou, it was just right for him to replace Wei Zhan.

Wei Zhan was called back by the emperor when he arrived in Shuozhou, and he was in a bad mood at that time.The environment in northern Xinjiang is too harsh, with strong wind and sand, which fills people's mouths with sand every day. They can't eat well and sleep well. Most of the soldiers guarding the border are rough people, and it's hard for him to talk to them.

If it is something else, if Wei Zhan rushes to the land of Shuozhou and rushes back before he is familiar with it, he will be so angry that he will jump his feet. Even if the imperial decree cannot be defied, it is necessary to curse in his heart.

It can be heard that the emperor asked him to go to Yizhou, Wei Zhan was so happy that the return journey was faster than going to Shuozhou.

There are two reasons for Wei Zhan's excitement. One is that he is good at wine, and by chance, he hooked up with Xichuan's wine making family very early.When Junlan arrived in Yizhou, his six relatives did not recognize him, and he blamed the middle and high-level officials. Even if Wei Zhan didn't come forward in person, he was afraid that he would be exposed.

Now, although the matter of Yizhou can't be hidden anymore, if he cleans up the mess by himself, at least he can wipe himself clean.

Secondly, Wei Sheng, Wei An, and Wei Ying are all in the capital, no one can go to Yizhou faster than him, but the father didn't send them, he just summoned himself back from northern Xinjiang.Besides, the mother and concubine's pillow style has some effect, those few also have mother concubines, it can be seen that the father still values ​​him.

After waiting for so many years, they finally waited until Wei Yi's sick son died, vacating the crown prince's position.If he can handle the errands assigned by his father well, he will definitely have the upper hand in the next battle for the reserve position.

Wei Zhan arrived in Yizhou smugly, and within a month he made himself ashamed and embarrassed.

Unlike those civil servants who were so shocked that they fell silent for a moment and stopped clamoring to impeach Junlan, Jiang Yuan and Junlu were not surprised at all when they heard about Yizhou, and even felt like it had finally come.

Jun Lan has made it very clear that Yizhou is at the end of its rope. Only by making full use of all the existing food, strictly distributing it according to work, and not wasting a single bit, can it be possible to support most people until next spring.

After all, it is unrealistic to transport grain from other places to Yizhou, and the cost is too high to solve practical problems.

Don't say that the third prince himself went to Yizhou with selfish intentions, even if he was thinking of Yizhou wholeheartedly, he might not be able to suppress this situation.The reason why Junlan dispatched the army in the first place was that the measure of evenly distributing food touched the vested interests of many people.

Just imagine, someone has a long-sighted and foresight and resists the temptation to save life-saving food, and loses a certain amount of profits for this. Can I feel at ease now that I'm gone?

In fact, such people in Yizhou are not alone, and the amount of food borrowed varies.Of course Jun Lan knew that his actions were unreasonable, but in order to save the lives of as many people as possible, he had no choice.

Besides, in Xichuan and other severely affected places, most of the families with surplus food were looted. After all, most people only want to save their lives when their lives are threatened, and etiquette, justice, shame and face are not that important.

In farther counties that are less affected by the earthquake, more and more refugees and refugees are pouring in. It is only a matter of time before conflicts occur.

Jun Lan's attitude is strong enough, he sees the problem clearly enough, and has Meng Lingshan's Yizhou camp as his backing. Under the condition that personal safety can be guaranteed, not everyone has the courage to stand up and resist, so it's better to endure the hard times Let's talk about it in the past.

Wei Zhan doesn't have Junlan's judgment and execution ability. He went to Yizhou with the idea of ​​picking fruits, but he couldn't even continue Junlan's practice.

As the local people in Yizhou, they didn't care whether the person who came to the court to relieve the disaster was King Zhaoyang or the third prince. Anyway, those princes and nobles were all high above them, and they couldn't see anyone.

However, before King Zhaoyang came, some places were almost ready to be eaten by children, but when King Zhaoyang came, as long as he was willing to work, he would always have something to eat.Therefore, even if some people are dissatisfied with Junlan's tough attitude, more Yizhou people are still very grateful to him.

However, with the arrival of the third prince, everything has changed again. The daily food supply is getting less and less, let alone inserting chopsticks, it is good to be able to see rice grains.

What's worse is that the original fairness and reasonableness are gone. Although not many people have seen it, there has always been a saying.In Xichuan, King Zhaoyang and his subordinates ate the same food as the common people outside, without any difference.

Not many people believed this at the beginning, and more people even thought that as long as they could fill their stomachs, King Zhaoyang should eat well.

In fact, no one has seen what the third prince eats every day when he arrives in Xichuan, but in the counties below, people who could barely eat enough are now completely hungry, so someone stormed the local county government, only to find that there was a lot of food inside. Drinking loudly, the noisy crowd suddenly boiled.

People don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality, especially when the inequality has reached the point where most people can't get enough to eat. The public anger that had accumulated for a long time erupted instantly and spread from point to area, thus sweeping the entire Yi state.

At first, Wei Zhan didn't pay attention to those who he regarded as ants, thinking that they were just making trouble for no reason, and felt that Jun Lan was not good, spoiled those people, and raised their appetite, so now he came to find own trouble.

Wei Zhan didn't close because he was prejudiced against Junlan. His most fatal flaw was that he didn't understand the real situation of Yizhou at all, so he was easily fooled.

When Junlan was around, Meng Lingshan obeyed his advice, no matter where to fight, he didn't say a word of nonsense.But when it was in Wei Zhan's hands, he found that Meng Lingshan was very difficult to use. This unremarkable middle-aged man treated him like he was obedient and obedient.

How did Wei Zhan know that except for the upper-level officers in the Yizhou camp, most of the soldiers were locals, and at most they were not working in the county.What Junlan asked them to do was to keep the people of Yizhou alive, including their fathers and fellow villagers, so it was natural that they kept their promises.

But Wei Zhan was just the opposite. Maybe he didn't order directly, but with his connivance and acquiescence, the officials under him became more and more shameless.The common people will starve to death, Wei Zhan will not conduct self-examination, but will send troops to suppress it, it is normal for the soldiers not to deal with it.

Under the influence of multiple factors, the riots in Yizhou intensified, and finally reached the point where Wei Zhan couldn't control it at all, and even spread back to Yujing.

The ironclad evidence is so strong that no one will say that Jun Lan is just a bluff. If it weren't for his thunderous tactics, the conflict in Yizhou would have erupted earlier.

The topic of the debate quickly shifted to how to deal with Yizhou's affairs. Of course, the riots must be suppressed, but it is also a top priority to feed the people of Yizhou. That's it.

No one dared to accuse the God Blessed Emperor of employing a wrong person, so the responsibility could only be shifted to the third prince, saying that he failed the emperor's high expectations.

However, these are empty words. The crux of the problem is who dares to go to Yizhou to clean up the mess.The emperor's eyes first fell on the princes, but Wei Sheng, Wei An, Wei Ying and others were watching, and no one dared to stand up.

Before that, they were indeed envious of Wei Zhan, but Wei Zhan made things like this, how dare they stand up.It is good to deal with Yizhou's affairs well, and Yu Lichu is a big bonus, but if it is not done well, it will be the second Weizhan.

Everyone knows that raw rice is not cooked well. Without Wei Zhan to disrupt the situation, they might still have the heart to try. With Wei Zhan's lessons learned from the past, they would rather not make mistakes than have such an opportunity to perform.

Seeing the performance of his sons, the emperor said in his heart that it was impossible not to be disappointed. It was one thing whether he needed them or not, but they didn't even have the attitude to stand up and share with him, which was too disappointing.

Xu Shi noticed the strange gaze of the emperor, Wei Sheng took a look at his younger brothers, stood up and replied: "My son intends to share the worries of the father, but Emperor Chengzu said that Dayan soldiers should never point their spears at their own people. I'm afraid I have nothing to do when I go to Yizhou."

Although Wei Sheng's temperament is rough, he still has basic self-knowledge. If he is asked to lead troops to fight, he will definitely agree to it without saying a word, but in Yizhou right now, there is no room for him to use his skills.

Wei Ang remained silent from the beginning to the end, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Wei Ang didn't intend to make a statement, Wei Ying walked out slowly, cupped her hands and said, "My son is just like the second brother, and he wants to share his father's worries, but the situation in Yizhou is complicated. My son is young and inexperienced, so I really don't dare to take it It's a heavy responsibility, but I can recommend someone for my father."

"Who?" In theory, God Blessed Emperor knew who was the most suitable person, but he just didn't want him to go.

The first time Junlan was sent to Yizhou, he did it impeccably, and later he asked Wei Zhan to pick peaches, but he messed up the whole thing.

If Junlan is allowed to go to Yizhou again, if he does well, the emperor will have no place to put his face. Isn’t that a naked slap in the face? field.

"The person recommended by my minister is—" Wei Ying paused intentionally, and Fang continued: "Yong'an Wang Jiangchen."

The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard the words. Apart from Junlan, the person who is most familiar with the situation in Yizhou is probably King Yong'an. After all, Jiang Yuan followed Junlan to Yizhou.It would not be appropriate to let Junlan go to Yizhou, but if Jiang Chen goes, he will be less burdened.

After the court came down that day, the emperor summoned Jiang Chen and Wei Ying to the imperial study, and then settled the matter.

Jiang Yuan didn't have too many doubts about the emperor's actions. Based on his knowledge of the emperor, this was his most likely approach.

But when Jun Lu heard that Wei Ying recommended King Yong'an, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart. No matter how much he disliked Wei Ying later, when he was young, some tricks were really decisive and unique, and he just took a step to see. Three steps, everything is very thorough.

If there was no evidence, Jun Lv would have doubted whether there was an expert behind Wei Ying, or the changes before and after him were really hard to explain.

From the current point of view, there are four princes competing for the reserve position. Wei Sheng has the most obvious advantage. Wei Zhan played himself out of the game ahead of time. Shake your head.

Jun Lu couldn't figure out what benefit Wei Ying would benefit from recommending King Yong'an, even if Jiang Chen really settled the situation in Yizhou, the emperor would not credit him with the credit.

Jiang Yuan had just returned from Yizhou, if not for the fact that the prince and the eldest son could not leave Beijing at the same time, he really wanted to go to Yizhou with Jiang Chen.

Princess Ankang originally thought that the emperor sent her son and husband to Yizhou successively, which was already very annoying. Unexpectedly, the emperor called her into the palace shortly after King Yongan left, but he talked about something that bothered her even more. thing.

The emperor asked about Jiang Yuan and Jun Lu's engagement, and asked her whether it was true or not.

Princess Ankang can tell other people that the marriage is set first, and whether it will come true or not.But in front of the emperor, it's hard to say that.

Seeing the embarrassment on his younger sister's face, the emperor said again that the Jun family has a mentoring relationship with him, and Jiang Yuan is his nephew, so he can't bully the future head of the Jun family.

Counting from Emperor Ruizong to the first emperor to the present, there are three successive generations of emperors who came from the Jun family. However, among the current princes, none of the masters have the surname Jun. It can be seen that the God Blessed Emperor has alienated the Jun family. meaning.

But no matter how alienated they are, the emperor is still very polite to Langya Jun's family, and will never let anyone make a mistake.

As soon as the Emperor God Bless said this, Princess Ankang knew that she had to make up her mind, either to marry her son ruthlessly, or to cancel the engagement immediately, so as not to affect Jun Lu's marriage.

After hesitating for a moment, Princess Ankang said in a deep voice: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Now that we have mentioned it today, my sister will ask the emperor to marry you." He dare not bet on Jiang Yuan's life.

The emperor laughed loudly, and said that when Jiang Chen triumphantly returned from Yizhou, he would make a formal decree.

From the beginning to the end, the emperor never mentioned what to do with the prince of King Yong'an, let alone Princess Ankang.
