Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining opened his eyes and saw the low roof of the carriage and a yellow oil lamp like a bean. The handsome silhouette of Pang Xiao was outlined by the orange light, and the voice was gentle in his ears.

"How's your sleep?"

"Fortunately, why have I slept for so long? What time is it now?"

Qin Yining's stomach prevented her from lying flat, and at this moment Pang Xiao was used as a pillow and nestled in his arms.

Pang Xiao smiled and said: "You slept for an afternoon, and I took you out of the palace directly after Sanchao. How do you feel about your body?"

"I'm fine. I didn't expect to sleep so long."

Finding a comfortable angle on Pan Xiao's shoulder, rubbing his cheeks against his clothing, Qin Yining's voice is lazy and soft, "Shall we go back for this meeting? The Chao meeting stayed until night?"

"Yes, the saint revives his father-in-law, and the court has discussed the affairs of Tartar. A decision has already been made. Unexpectedly, there was an accident in the middle, and I got new news from the south..."

At this point, Pang Xiao followed her long hair apologetically, and said helplessly: "Sister Yi, I'm afraid I'm tired of you again. We don't need to prepare the delivery room in our new home. I'm going to Yanchao to take office. , The Holy Spirit ordered you to accompany you and set off within three days."

Qin Yining widened his eyes in astonishment, and sat up with his arm supporting him: "What happened in the south? Is there something wrong with King Yanjun? What happened in the court, tell me carefully."

Pang Xiao nodded, took Qin Yining into his arms again, and smiled: "Don't worry, I was going to tell you too."

Two hours ago.

Fengtian Temple Chaohui.

Qin Huaiyuan, dressed in the court dress of a civil servant, the first grade of the crane to make up the son, bowed in front of the temple: "Chen Qin Meng, kow thanks to the sage Longen. If the sage is respected, the minister will repay it with loyalty."

"Qin Aiqing is flat." Li Qitian smiled slightly and leaned forward and raised his hand, politely.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up and naturally stood at the top of the civil servants.

Li Qitian then reassigned the official positions of officials from the DPRK and the central government as appropriate.Many important ministers died in the underground palace this time, and many positions have been vacated. As a result, the pattern of officials from North Korea and China ushered in a great adjustment.

After successive adjustments, Li Qitian said: "This turmoil, the loss of many capable ministers in the court is really heartbreaking. The northern Tatars invaded to the Tianmen officials, and the Dragon Partition army is standing by. If they are defeated, the Tatar's iron hoof It only took a few days to reach Kyoto.

"The south is not at peace now. Since Yu Chiyan fled to the south, Yongning Prefecture, Hengzhou Prefecture, and Jianyang Prefecture declared independence, and echoed with Nanyan's Yuchi Xujie to support Yuchiyan's re-election to the throne.

"But I also got reliable news here. The independence of Yongning Prefecture and Hengzhou Prefecture did not succeed all at once. They were suppressed by the local officers and soldiers. It was just that the people of Nanyan had a civil upheaval and rushed into the government. It was cruel. After killing the local officials that I arranged to go, the three residences were included in Nanyan."

At this point, Li Qitian sighed helplessly, and then said: "Now the war in the north is tight, and the situation in the south is like this. The country and the country are already in crisis. You can tell me what you think and how to deal with it. , Everyone brainstormed to overcome difficulties together."

Li Qitian's words were extremely sincere, he didn't put any pretensions on the emperor, and looked forwardly at the people below the imperial rank.

The ministers frowned and contemplated, and some whispered, but somebody stepped forward in a moment.

"Sage Qi, although the situation in the south does not seem to be tepid, Yu Chiyan's ability is not as strong as Utjin Khan. At first glance, the situation in the south does not seem to be the same as the situation in the north. Nervous. But the tepid cannibalization is the most terrifying."

"My Lord Wang is very true. Nan Yan is now slowly chasing after the people, and gradually agitating the people, fearing that it will cause unpredictable consequences. It must be a short time before my Da Zhou regained the Yan Dynasty. The local people have not been particularly strong about our Da Zhou. A sense of belonging."

The South was originally the territory of the Yan Dynasty, and the people there also felt that they were from the Yan Dynasty, but the Yan Dynasty was all destroyed, and Yu Chiyan had no choice but to bow their heads. .

But now, if Yu Chiyan becomes active in the south, and the sparks start a prairie fire, it is very likely that the people in the south will be agitated towards the Yan Dynasty again.When Da Zhou wants to take back his power, it will be even more difficult.

"The south must be stable. My Dazhou base is in the north. However, the south is the most important place for grain production. If there is a rebellion in the south, I am afraid that the grain will return to its formerly inadequate situation."

"Exactly. My Zhou Dynasty is strong and strong, and what I lack is money and food. If the first two are insufficient, even the tiger will not have the strength to fight."

The voices of the ministers' discussions were getting louder and louder, showing that everyone is aware of the current crisis.

Da Zhou already had insufficient money and food to deal with Tatar, and it was very difficult.If you add a chaotic south, I am afraid that by then, you will really be attacked.

What's more, it has only been five years since the Great Zhou overthrew the tyranny of Beiji State and established the regime.In the past five years, the country has been in constant wars.The people have no time to recuperate, and instead live in the shadow of war every day.If things go on like this, they will definitely lose popular support.Otherwise, the people will be exhausted.

Everyone knows the truth. It is just to solve the problem, but it cannot be done overnight.

Li Qitian sat high above the imperial steps, listening to the courtiers' comments, his heart was quite heavy.

He stayed up all night last night, and went through a thrilling battle to seize the palace. He was already exhausted by this time. The ministers in the palace couldn't discuss the reason for a while, which made Li Qitian feel even more irritated.

It's just that as an emperor, he must maintain his demeanor, especially in front of the Lijun king who wants to seize power. He can't perform worse than this kind of chaotic courtier.

Li Qitian turned his gaze to Qin Huaiyuan, who had never spoken.

"Qin Aiqing, what do you think?"

Qin Huaiyuan, who was named by his name, stepped forward and saluted: "Going back to the saint, the officials thought that the rebellion in the capital and the rebellion in the north and south were all planned. Tatar and Nan Yan must have secretly connected."

When Qin Huaiyuan spoke, everyone in the discussion calmed down.Everyone knew that he was known as "Zhi Panan", and they all wanted to hear an exact solution from Qin Huaiyuan.

Li Qitian also stood up, standing on the imperial steps with his hand, "Qin Aiqing makes sense. So what is Aiqing's countermeasure?"

"Return to the Holy Spirit. The minister thought that for the sake of the present, we need to distinguish the priorities and defeat them one by one. If we deal with both sides, although we have brave and brave generals, I am afraid that there is insufficient food and grass, and the front line is too long. No benefit."

Li Qitian nodded and asked with a smile: "Then you think that this is broken one by one, which side should be the first?"
