The queen is a bit cowardly

The chariot moved forward slowly, the soldiers walked in unison, and the city guards who were looking for the night saw the carriage with the dragon pattern flag hanging and retreated to both sides.

The young man looked dissatisfied, and he said: "If I am the same as my brothers, why should I only follow Elder Sister around?"

Chang Lan looked at the city guards on both sides of the car. They were dressed in golden armor and kneeling respectfully on both sides. She said softly, "What do you think of the current situation in the world?"

"The feudal lords fought in chaos, and the rites and music collapsed. All the lords wanted to expand their borders, and they only had themselves in their hearts, and no royal family." Chang Min said: "We are the heirs of the heavenly family, so naturally we must revive the rituals and music, and promote the majesty of the emperor."

Chang Lan asked back: "Do you think the brothers don't think so?"

Chang Min was stunned for a moment, and replied: "They naturally think so too."

The young man was eager to explain: "If you want to think about it, I am naturally different from them. The prince thinks that the current situation is due to the disorder of the elders and the younger. Not to mention the world, in our Daxin, many aristocratic families set up the young but not the elders. , so Chang Dai's heart is more than ritual and music, I saw that he has been wooing several clan heads recently, and he is also an envoy to the Bai family in Shangjing, and he has the intention of marrying you to the son of Shangjing."

"Continue." Chang Lan didn't have much expression on her face.

"The Bai family in Shangjing is indeed close to us. Although the king of Qian rebelled 400 years ago, he has been loyal to the royal family since then. It's just that Shangjing has no good generals and no good ministers. If we just pull them to play a role of fatherly kindness and filial piety, I'm afraid they will also be in this troubled world. It doesn't help us to build up our prestige."

After the boy finished speaking, he looked at his eldest sister, expecting the other party's approval, and Chang Lan nodded slightly.

"What if it's you?" Chang Lan asked.

The young man's face was even more willful. He said: "The rich country is strong and the army is strong, and the weak are prey to the strong. If I were to raise soldiers with agriculture, keep a low profile, and wait for the opportunity to take back the Xiajing Kingdom and divide the land with the Bai family in Shangjing. The Bai family must die to serve us. With an extra arm, we can push further north and take down the northern countries..."

Chang Lan couldn't help shaking her head, and said in a low voice: "Send troops to attack the city, what's the difference between your thinking and your second brother Chang Bai's, military aggression is not good for the society, and we are the country of the Son of Heaven, how can there be any talk of confiscating the territories of the princes?" .”

Chang Min closed her mouth, a little dissatisfied in her heart, but what Chang Lan said made sense.

"Then sister, what would you do?"

Chang Lan looked at the young man, and said in a gentlemanly manner: "If you only focus on me, Da Xin, the road to governing the country will naturally be difficult. Whether it is the prince, the second brother, or all the grown-up brothers, you can only think about it. To rebuild ritual and music, or to conquer the Quartet, but these two roads are difficult."

Chang Lan went on to say: "Li Tai, a famous general of the Li family in Xiajing in the north, used his troops like a god, and wiped out [-] troops of the Wei State with [-] cavalry. It has become a gold price, and further to the east, a small country is at the beginning of the day, and the land is small and weak, but the sea battle is the best in the world. Among the six southern countries, Cheng is the overlord, and the king of Cheng, Qin Su, is the tiger of this world. Western Fu Putting aside the country, their aspirations are not in the Central Plains, and there are Fushan Mountains between Tianping, so it is not easy to come here."

Looking at the boy's expectant eyes, Chang Lan continued: "These people are dragons and phoenixes. If you talk about etiquette with them, they will only laugh at us when they close the door. If you compete with them, do I have any famous generals in Daxin? Are there any virtuous ministers?" Is it? It was not easy to invite Kong You from Fu Kingdom to be the chief commander, look at what kind of idiot his son is."

Chang Min smiled awkwardly, and asked: "I heard what Sister means, and I can't save Daxin."

Chang Lan said: "Cross-crossing, vertical and horizontal." But then sighed: "It's a pity that no one wants to listen to me."

It's not that no one has heard Chang Lan's words. Huo Xian, the great Sima at the time, admired Chang Lan's words very much, but the officials of the Xin Dynasty all considered themselves to be the top kingdom, and regarded the art of war as a trick, and the strategy as the tricks of the country princes. Crude art.

So Chang Lan regards the brothers as idiots, but it's a pity that she can't flex her muscles.

"If I'm a concubine, I will definitely speak for my sister." Chang Min continued, "It's a pity that I'm a concubine, and you are a woman, so you speak lightly."

Chang Lan also lowered her head, because she was the only girl among the prostitutes, so she was spoiled all the time, and because she was a woman, she seemed too weightless.

"There is a chance." Chang Lan looked at the stars in the sky and said, "I must prove that I am right."

The car is moving forward on the road of Tianping, the darkness is grand in the imperial city, but the stars will always shine.

Twenty years later, when Chang Min walked this street at night again, he thought that he had a wise elder sister, but at that time, they no longer cherished each other side by side like they do today.

-

The East Palace Study Room is extremely bright. If you stand in the sky and look down on this huge scale, there must be a golden pearl there.

A team of attendants passed by the door of the study room. Their backs were straight and their eyes were open like copper bells. If they didn't look like this normally, why did Prince Chang Dai lead a group of staff to discuss matters today.The chief servant involuntarily raised his head and glanced into the study room. Their crown prince was thinking, and the group of staff members were whispering something. It was approaching midnight, but the energy of these young people was still the same. exuberant.

"Is that slave still not recruited?" Chang Dai asked the handsome young man beside him.

Yan Qi replied while rubbing the ink: "I have recruited some, and I feel like I don't know anything."

His voice is extremely pleasant, and it always makes people listen carefully to every word he utters.

"Then there must be an explanation." Said the young man sitting on the right seat. Compared to his looks, he was not handsome, but he had a handsome figure. He looked like a young man from a family.

"Shu Da, what do you think should be said?" Yan Qi asked the boy with narrowed eyes.

"Just kill the slave, and say that he failed to manage the cattle well enough to supervise the cattle, and that's why the running of the bulls happened."

"Stupid!" Chang Dai stopped and said, "Master Zong is in charge of the sacrifice, and he has prepared a hundred cows, how can one slave conjure up more?"

The boy named Shu Da closed his mouth and fell into deep thought again.

"The slave only said that the cow was found by accident when he was lazy. There was a cowshed hidden under the hillside. He thought it was the priests who hid the cows for sacrifice. He was afraid of offending the priest. He was about to leave, but he heard a cry from behind the cowshed. The muffled sound means that there was the incident of running the bull that day." Yan Qi said softly.

"But who made the muffled noise, and who put the cow there?" Shu Da wondered, "Now that the doubt is stuck here, how can this case be solved? Ten days have passed before us, so the prime minister's old man can't let it go." Do you see your joke?"

Yan Qi put down the inkstone and said: "The Prime Minister's side is still a trivial matter, but His Majesty has to make an explanation. It depends on what you want, Prince. It is easy to find a scapegoat, but Yan Qi thinks that this case must be done beautifully to be able to do so." It has won the trust of the ministers."

Chang Dai nodded: "I think so too, but Ben Gong is upset that there are always no clues."

Yan Qi sat behind Chang Dai and put his hands on Chang Dai's shoulders. The young man's strength was much better than those of the servants. He rubbed Chang Dai's shoulders and said, "Actually, in my opinion, this bull's goal should not be the female family seat." , after all, women have nothing to do with the temple."

Chang Dai relaxed his shoulders, he and Yan Qi have been living and sleeping together and have long been used to this kind of service.

"Could it be that the black phoenix assassin of the Fu Kingdom is going to kill Jiang Qingluan?" Chang Dai immediately denied it: "The Fu Kingdom has already established a new king, so there is no need to go to such lengths to deal with an abandoned son."

"The prince is wise." Yan Qi replied.

"So I checked the location and orientation of the cattle shed, and the location facing it is directly facing the post road leading to Qinglong Avenue." Yan Qi pointed to the map in front of Chang Dai and said, "If the festival is over, the cattle will come from the hillside to the road." If you rush down, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Chang Dai sat up straight. In fact, he had doubts about what Yan Qi said, but there was a mixed bag of fish and dragons at the ceremony that day. Not only the ministers of his own country, but also the princes of all countries sent envoys. Now the princes are fighting in chaos. Go out to kill someone.

"There is still no clue." Ji Shuda slapped the tea machine with one hand, looking discouraged, he continued: "The only witness is a slave, and the physical evidence is the ten cows. No matter how hard we investigate, we still have no clue."

Chang Dai's brows were frowned. At that time, he took over the matter himself. In fact, he could have done it hastily, but his dignity as a prince did not allow him to be so slack.

"rise."

"Yes." Yan Qi replied with cupped hands.

"Write your conjecture just now into a document and present it to your father tomorrow. There are more slaves than cows in the world. Go to the cow and see who lost the cow," Chang Dai said coldly, "I still don't believe this. Can't find out the truth."

"Understood." Yan Qi replied, but the young man raised his brows, and continued: "Although he is the Son of Heaven, I think His Highness the Crown Prince still needs some means, otherwise the ministers will only think that the Eastern Palace is weak."

Chang Dai bowed his head slightly, Yan Qi studied with him since he was young, Chang Lan has always been the most knowledgeable in the study, Yan Qi is second, as the prince, Chang Dai clearly knows that the world is not ruled by the most knowledgeable people Instead, he is governed by those who know people best, so his focus is often on recruiting talents and winning over ministers.

"Then kill that slave." Ji Shuda said.

"Shu Da, do you look like a scholar?" Chang Dai was a little impatient. If it wasn't for Uncle Ji Da being the son of General Zuo's family, he didn't intend to make him his aide.

After several performances were not recognized, Shu Da kept his mouth shut.Chang Dai looked at Yan Qi, not only was he handsome, but he also spoke as sweetly as a nightingale, and he could always get an idea every time.

"It seems that you should have a solution in your mind." Chang Dai asked.

Yan Qi bowed his head, nodded and said: "I think it's nothing more than reward and punishment. On that day, the Talisman King Jiang Qingluan responded in a timely manner and rescued the eldest princess and all the female relatives. Naturally, there is a reward. As for the punishment, the slave Youtu temporarily You can’t kill them, but the other slaves who watch the cows are executed on the spot, which is also considered as an example to others.”

Chang Dai got up from the table, he pressed Yan Qi's shoulder and said: "Yan Qing still understands me, so I will do as you said. On the Zhengyang Festival on the fifth day of May, Jiang Qingluan will be invited to the imperial court for a banquet. As for the slaves, let them Lord Zong chooses a date to bury Dongjiao alive."
