Chapter 514 Everything should change
Prince An's eyes widened: "Is this true?"
He had also met Yan Yan, and knew about the cancellation of the engagement between the Yan family and the He family.
At that time, he just thought that the girl from the Yan family had personality and was truly a member of the Yan family.
His temper is exactly the same as General Yan's.
Unexpectedly, in addition to having personality, the girl from the Yan family actually has such courage and ability.
She is truly worthy of being the daughter of a general.
She truly deserves the emperor's praise of her as a "heroine".
Emperor Jingning is in a good mood now: "Yan Yan is worthy of being brought up by General Yan and taught personally since childhood. He is both brave and resourceful."
The Dongyi people originally thought that since General Yan could not fight, they would definitely win, but who knew that Yan Yan would become a variable.
At the beginning, they looked down on this female general of the Yan family, thinking that there was no one available in Daliang, so they actually sent a little girl into battle.
Some people even laughed at Yan Yan in front of the battlefield, saying that she might not even be able to lift a weapon, and asked her to just go home and embroider and wait for marriage.
Yan Yan didn't waste any words and used her actions to tell them whether she could lift the weapon or not.
The Dongyi people did underestimate Yan Yan and originally just wanted to make a few jokes.
Who would have thought that this woman, whom they looked down upon, was even more brutal than General Yan, and wherever she went, no grass grew.
General Yan believed in using courtesy before force, but this woman showed her weapon as soon as she came up.
She is not a woman embroidering at home waiting to get married, she is clearly a female devil.
Now the entire Dongyi is in chaos, and the kings of several tribes have either been captured or killed as sacrifices to the gods.
The other small countries around were also trembling in fear, fearing that the female Yama's sword would turn and come towards them.
Several small countries that had previously thought of taking advantage of the war between Daliang and Dongyi to fish in troubled waters are now as obedient as quails.
Some countries have already expressed goodwill towards Daliang, fearing that Yan Yan will not be able to control himself and will attack their countries.
Dongyi had been dissatisfied with the tribute before. Although the surrounding small countries did not dare to say anything, they had been secretly paying attention to Dongyi's actions.
Thinking of following suit.
Now, with Yan Yan as their guard, they are all well behaved.
Emperor Jingning: "Although Yan Yan is a girl, she is no less capable than a boy..."
Speaking of being no less than a man, Emperor Jingning couldn't help but think of Shen Huazheng.
I heard that Shen Huazheng was abducted by the Dongyi people at that time, and she escaped with the dagger given by Yan Yan.
Alas, they are all other people’s daughters.
Never mind, the prince is not bad either.
Besides, no matter what, Yan Yan and Chen Huazheng are both citizens of Daliang.
Everything they planned was for Daliang.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jingning suddenly became proud again.
Daliang is full of talented people, and there are two extremely talented women among them.
Other countries can’t catch up even if they try to catch up, how can they compare with Daliang? ?
Prince An listened to Emperor Jingning's words and couldn't help but admire Yan Yan.
"Yan Yan is indeed better than most men. She was right to break off her engagement with the He family. He Qiming is not worthy of her."
He Qiming has no vision, and the He family does not have such blessing.
If the He family knew about this, they would definitely regret it.
Emperor Jingning pondered for a moment and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."
When the Yan and He families broke off the engagement, he gave Yan Yan a red tasseled spear as a sign of appeasement.
Now that Yan Yan has returned victoriously this time, we have to think carefully about what reward to give her.
As for the He family...
Emperor Jingning put down his teacup and said, "The Earl of Yong'an is quite smart. He knows that He Qiming is not up to the task and has already started training his second son."
Although Earl Yong'an was confused in choosing his successor, at least he was able to change the candidate in time and did not make the same mistake again.
Besides, if He Qiming hadn't been short-sighted.
Now the Yan and He families may have fulfilled their marriage contract, and Yan Yan has become the daughter-in-law of the He family.
The Southwestern Army is missing a strong general.
In this case, He Qiming did do a good thing at the beginning.
If Yan Yan really married him, it would be delayed.
Prince An: "Congratulations, my brother. The southwestern countries are making good progress. I believe good news will come from the northwest soon."
The smile in Emperor Jingning's eyes deepened: "I hope so."

Chen Guo
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Prince Regent Nangong Han had a gloomy look on his face, and the civil and military officials around him all looked panicked.
They were enjoying a palace banquet when suddenly King Wei rushed in with his men and surrounded them all.
Now the entire palace has been surrounded by layers of defense. Looking around, there are soldiers holding long swords and wearing sharp armor everywhere.
There were also soldiers holding longbows and pointing them at everyone in the hall.
Looking at the situation, if anyone dared to shout loudly or tried to escape, he would be killed on the spot.
No one dared to act rashly, for fear of becoming the dead souls under the soldiers' swords.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was heavily surrounded, and the guards who were supposed to protect the safety of the palace were nowhere to be seen.
It goes without saying that there must have been a fierce fight outside, but the noise was drowned out by the music just now.
When some timid officials thought that there might be broken arms and debris everywhere outside the palace, their faces turned paler and their bodies began to tremble.
Wasn't King Wei in his fiefdom? Why did he suddenly lead his troops to force his way into the palace?
Could it be that he didn't care about anything, not even the life of Prince Wei? ?
Prince Wei has been staying in the capital all this time. On the surface, the Prince Regent likes his nephew and is reluctant to let him follow Prince Wei back to his fiefdom.
But everyone knew that it was only because the Regent was worried about King Wei.
Since ascending the throne of regent, Nangong Han not only tried to take back the military power from Nangong Ming, but also forced Prince Nangong Yixian of King Wei to stay in the capital as a hostage, hoping to use this to blackmail him.
Nangong Ming was driven back to his fiefdom and without his military power, he was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
Logically speaking, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to Nangong Han.
But Nangong Han was always worried that Nangong Ming might have other tricks up his sleeve. After all, he and the late emperor were biological brothers from the same mother.
What if the late emperor left something for Nangong Ming?
Some people inadvertently saw a certain pattern on the armor of the soldiers holding weapons around them and were shocked.
Isn't that the logo of the Shenwu Army?
The Shenwu Army was the most elite force of the imperial court. Part of it was stationed in the suburbs of the capital, and the rest were scattered throughout the State of Chen.
This elite force was directly under the control of the royal family, and only the tiger talisman could mobilize them.
This tiger talisman has been passed down from generation to generation in the Nangong family and is usually only in the hands of the current emperor.
But the situation in this dynasty was rather special. The previous emperor died suddenly, and the young emperor, who was only five years old at the time, ascended the throne.
The late emperor entrusted the young emperor to the regent and also handed over the tiger talisman to him.
Wait until the young emperor comes of age and then return the tiger talisman.
However, now King Wei is able to mobilize the Shenwu Army.
Could it be that the late emperor did not entrust the young emperor to the regent?
That imperial edict was also fake? ?
If that's the case, then...
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but shudder.
He lowered his eyes, not daring to think any further.
Having been in the officialdom for so long, he has long understood when to shut his mouth and when to close his eyes.
If you want to live longer, you should always keep your mind clear.
There are some things that are not his business, and certainly not something he should know now.
Nangong Han glared at Nangong Ming and the Shenwu Army guarding him: "King Wei, are you trying to force him to abdicate?"
No wonder he searched the entire palace but couldn't find the tiger talisman.
Nangong Ming has been hiding really well in recent years.
Nangong Ming smiled and said, "The Regent has misunderstood. I came here to protect Your Majesty because I learned that Your Majesty was in danger. It is just my duty."
"Your Majesty is enjoying the singing and dancing in the palace with us, toasting to celebrate. How could there be any danger?"
Nangong Han was so angry that he laughed: "You have evil intentions and you brought your army to the palace late at night to force the emperor to abdicate. Is this what you call your duty?"
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Where is His Majesty? Where is His Majesty?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone realized that His Majesty was not in the hall at this time.
But it was clearly there just now.
Could it be that during the chaos in the palace just now, someone kidnapped His Majesty?
Nangong Han said in a cold voice: "Hand over His Majesty."
Some loyal ministers also looked at Nangong Ming: "King Wei, where did you hide His Majesty?"
His Majesty had disappeared, and the others were no longer afraid, and they all bravely questioned -
"King Wei, where is His Majesty?"
"Hand over His Majesty quickly."
Nangong Ming just smiled and said nothing.
Before anyone could speak, a childish voice rang out:
"I am here."
Everyone was stunned, and when they looked up, they saw the young emperor Nangong Yining walking out from behind Nangong Ming.
"Uncle Wei Wang came here because I entrusted you."
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. Did His Majesty ask King Wei to come to the palace? ?
Then, those guards outside...
Everyone seemed to have discovered some secret, and no one dared to speak.
Your Majesty ordered King Wei to lead his army to break into the palace late at night and kill the royal guards.
The Royal Guard is under the command of the Regent, and King Wei said that he was there to protect the emperor.
Doesn't that mean that the one harboring evil intentions and harboring ill intentions is actually the Regent? !
Nangong Han's face turned pale. What a great Nangong Ming, what a great Nangong Yining.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
Nangong Yining raised his head and looked at Nangong Han.
At this moment, there was no longer the timidity on his face as when he faced Nangong Han in the past. His young and immature face was full of majesty and solemnity.
"I said, everything Uncle Wang did was indeed instructed by me."
Although Nangong Yining did not specify it this time, everyone knew that the uncle he mentioned was King Wei, not the Regent.
Nangong Han looked at the young emperor who used to be timid in front of him, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
When did they collude?
Facing Nangong Han's terrifying eyes, Nangong Yining did not hide, but just stared at him.
Five years have passed and now he is ten years old.
I am no longer the child who was at the mercy of others.
Uncle Wang is right, everything should change.
