Yupo Yunhun and the Man-made King

Chapter 37 The Garrison of the Capital

When Yan Luan returned to Yan's Mansion, he first went to the small courtyard where Zhao Wei lived.Zhao Wei asked the nanny to carry the baby from the back room to the living room, and put it in Yan Luan's arms.

Yan Luan hugged the little person who looked like a dough ball, and said with a smile: "This child's eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as the emperor's." Seeing that Zhao Wei was a little disappointed, he said: "The emperor has been busy these few days. After a few days, he must Will come to see the child, this is the eldest grandson of the emperor after all."

Zhao Wei said: "The emperor has never been too concerned about his children and grandchildren, let alone me...don't mention it to the emperor."

At this time, the child started to cry, as if he was hungry, so Yan Luan handed him over to the nanny to take him away.Then he said to Zhao Wei: "Wei'er, besides taking care of your daughter-in-law, what else have you been busy with recently?"

Zhao Wei said: "What else can I do now? Even if I want to go out to visit relatives and friends, I'm just making fun of myself. I usually read some books in the mansion. Fortunately, my husband has a wide collection of books, which is quite fun."

Yan Luan said: "It's good to read more books, but you should put those miscellaneous books first, and read the Four Books and Five Classics more. The emperor opened Enke this year, so you should try it too."

Zhao Wei was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Sir, can I take Enke?"

Yan Luan said: "You used to be a prince, of course you can't. But didn't the emperor say that you were demoted to a commoner? Of course you can take the exam."

Zhao Wei said: "But... who would dare to catch me?"

Yan Luan smiled and said, "Silly boy, even though Enke is the host of the Ministry of Rites, can't I say a word?"

Zhao Wei said earnestly, "Sir, I really don't know how to thank you."

Yan Luan said: "You don't need to talk about this with me, Wei'er, as long as you study hard. You are talented, and you still have a lot of future, don't be discouraged."

At this time, a girl came to report that Master Chen Wenying had come to the mansion to see Yan Luan.Yan Luan asked Chen Wenying to be taken to the study outside, and after giving some instructions to Zhao Wei, he came out to see Chen Wenying.

When Chen Wenying saw Yan Luan, she took out a box first, and said with a smile: "I heard that the eldest son is happy with his son, I have prepared a small gift, you can pass it on for me."

Yan Luan took it over, and said with a smile: "I thank Wei'er, I just came from his side, this child really looks like the emperor."

Chen Wenying said: "I also heard that Empress Debi is pregnant, and the imperial hospital said that it is likely to be the prince."

Yan Luan said: "You are well-informed enough, there must be such a thing."

Chen Wenying hesitated for a while, then said: "Ling'an, I have something to ask you. Now that the emperor's descendants are prosperous, I don't know if there will be any disputes over the throne in the future. You are very kind to all princes. On that day, where will you stand?"

Yan Luan said: "The reason why I care about the princes is to prevent this. But no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If anything happens, I will definitely stand by the emperor."

Chen Wenying said again: "You mean that no matter who is against the emperor in the future, even if it is the Third Highness whom you love the most, you will be on the side of the emperor."

Yan Luan was somewhat puzzled by Chen Wenying's question, but she still said firmly, "Of course."

Chen Wenying nodded and said: "Understood. You were not there when Prince Ding left the capital to take up the feudal domain. The prince told me that candidates for several important positions need to be reconsidered, especially those with military power in their hands. They must use the emperor's confidantes. I probably drew up a list, please take a look." Then he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Luan, and said: "Now there are Habayashi Army, Imperial Guards, and the Three Great Battalions in charge of the army in Beijing. Although there are not many people in the factory and Jinyiwei, they are all masters, and their strength should not be underestimated. Including Beijing Wei, there are a total of six branches with military power in their hands. Among them, the Yulin Army and the imperial guards are composed of former relatives of the emperor. Commander Wei Hongbai, you are in charge of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, they are all safe. But the current commander of the Beijing Guard and the three commanders-in-chief of the three major battalions were promoted by the late emperor after you left. Have you ever thought about it? How about changing them?"

Yan Luan said: "I did think about it when I first entered Beijing, but I saw that these people are very respectful to the emperor, so I wanted to observe for a while before talking. Why, did these people have any changes?"

Chen Wenying said: "There is no change. But after all, it is the palm print in the hand, it is better to be cautious. If you think there is nothing wrong with them and it is not easy to transfer, I have an idea. Why don't you transfer some of your own people to be deputy positions?" , so that they can play a monitoring role, and they can't say anything."

Yan Luan said: "That's a very good idea." Looking at the list again, he said with a smile: "It's fine to let Luo Xianlin be the deputy commander of the Beijing Guard, isn't the deputy commander-in-chief of the three major battalions you recommended the same as at the beginning?" Did the emperor build the three commanders-in-chief of the three battalions together? Now that they come back, the current three commanders-in-chief must be emptied."

Chen Wenying said: "Yes, the three major camps were established by the emperor alone, why should they fall into their hands."

Yan Luan thought for a while, and then said: "The Governor of Shuntian Prefecture came home to Ding You, and I want Hai Che to fill this vacancy. Although the official rank of the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture is not high, his position is important. Haiche was born as a local official, and it is very important to manage the public security in Gyeonggi. No problem. Besides, he used to be the second rank, and Shuntian Fu Yin was the third rank, and he was downgraded by two ranks, so Xie Zihu probably wouldn't say anything."

Chen Wenying said with a smile: "What are you talking about Xie Zihu? Everyone can see that the first assistant is yours sooner or later, only he can't see clearly."

In the evening, Zhao Ying suddenly went to Yan's mansion in a low-key manner, saying that she heard that there was a new restaurant opened near Lishi Hutong, and she wanted to try it with Yan Luan.Yan Luan insisted that Zhao Ying check on the child before going out, so Zhao Ying half-pushed and went to Zhao Wei's small courtyard to have a look.

Zhao Ying and Yan Luan came to the restaurant, and were led by Xiao Er to the private room upstairs, while Lu Bing took several other people to sit in the scattered seats downstairs.

Zhao Ying saw that the private room was a rectangular room with eight screens in between, so she asked Xiao Er, "Is there another table inside?"

The little girl said with a smile: "No more, sir, this room only entertains two masters today."

After the two ordered food, the little one went down.Zhao Ying raised her hand, and as soon as she touched Yan Luan's hair, Yan Luan slapped her back with a "slap" with chopsticks.

Zhao Ying cried out in pain and said, "Oh, why are you hitting me so hard?"

Yan Luan said: "This is a restaurant, you should be more honest."

Zhao Ying stretched out her hand in front of Yan Luan, and said helplessly, "A willow leaf fell from your hair. If I remove it for you, you think I'm going to treat you lightly? I really use your heart to save my belly."

Yan Luan looked at Zhao Ying's hand, and there was indeed a willow leaf.At this time Xiao Er knocked on the door and came in, served the food and wine, closed the door and went out.Yan Luan poured two glasses of wine, picked up the glass, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am a villain, so how about the villain toast the emperor and apologize to the emperor?"

Zhao Ying also picked up the cup, took Yan Luan's wrist, and said with a smile: "You can drink with me, and I won't be angry."

Yan Luan smiled and grabbed Zhao Ying's wrist, and the two drank the wine.Zhao Ying picked up the wine jug, filled the two wine glasses, and said, "Drink the second glass slowly."
