There was indeed something unusual in Liaodong. News came from the border town that several groups of Bei Rong cavalry were cruising on the border. Their movements were unknown. There was also a small mountain village that was attacked in the middle of the night. Only two people escaped and did not return to the village that night.

A hunter taking a break. The location of the small mountain village is very sensitive. It is right on a mountain pass on the border, next to a large virgin forest, and the location is quite hidden. The border guard general suspected that this was the Beirong people sneaking into the forest secretly.

We are lurking in the middle, ready to carry out sneak attacks on our border troops and civilians at any time.

This was just the first emergency report from Liaodong, which was regarded as an early warning. In the following two days, another emergency report from Liaodong arrived in the capital. The day before, our border garrison was inspecting the forest and had a close relationship with the North.

The soldiers of the Rong army met at hand-to-hand combat, and there was a fight. There were casualties on each other, and they were temporarily driven back to the border of Beirong. The next day, the soldiers of Beirong officially sent out troops to attack our troops guarding the border, and they were spread on three sides, and the troops were divided into three.

Lu attacked three border towns at the same time.

Although the imperial court had been on guard for a long time and had deployed a lot of manpower, material resources, and even military rations in Liaodong, the Beirong people took action much earlier than the imperial court expected. Some supplies that were originally on the way were affected by the war.

, may have to be temporarily stranded on the way and cannot be sent to the border town on time. There are also several armies that were originally on the way and will not be able to reach the battlefield for a while. This is something to worry about. The court can say

I was confident, but there were also some unexpected things. After a short period of chaos, I was able to adjust to an orderly state.

Zhao Mo did not participate in military affairs, but he had a share in allocating military rations. This time he also had to go to the palace, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households every day. He would leave early and come back late every day. He was as busy as a spinning top.

He apologized guiltily to his newlywed wife Qin Hanzhen: "I thought I could spend a few more days leisurely with you, but I didn't expect the Beirong people to be so indifferent, and the emperor really needs manpower..."

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What did you say? Am I such a person who doesn't understand the priorities of things? So what if we are newlyweds? There is nothing else in our lives except you and me.

Things can be done. Once the Beirong people are dealt with, you will have plenty of time to accompany me, but these few months are missing? You don’t have to apologize to me. The key is to try your best to assist the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, and help the Beirong people.

Let’s solve it later. I won’t be angry because you are busy with official duties and have less time to spend with me. On the contrary, the more capable and outstanding you are, the happier I will be. This proves that I have more discernment in choosing a husband.

It couldn't be better, how many girls inside and outside the capital can match my taste?"

These words made Zhao Mo suddenly full of pride: "That's so true, don't worry! Not to mention the whole capital and inside and outside, even in Dazhao, there will be no woman who is more picky about men than you!" He felt that even if she is

For the sake of my beloved wife’s face, I have to do my best this time!

Qin Hanzhen applauded him and said, "I will take care of the logistics for you, so you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you need anything, just send someone back to tell me. You can leave it to me at home, from the palace."

I can also take care of your property. I also take care of all the trivial matters of official life in the front courtyard."

Zhao Mo hugged her emotionally and said, "Oh, really, you are really my good wife! There is no man inside or outside the capital who has better taste in choosing a wife than me."

It's okay to flatter each other in this wave of business. Qin Hanzhen said shamelessly that facts proved that she and Zhao Mo were indeed a perfect match.

With Qin Hanzhen's logistical guarantee, Zhao Mo really devoted himself to official duties. Although he only assisted the Ministry of Household Affairs in collecting military rations, the task was still quite arduous. When necessary, he also had to work as a foreigner.

For two months, heavy rains occurred throughout Zhili in the summer, which greatly affected the autumn grain production. This year's autumn grain harvest was not as good as last year's quarter, and some of the grain had to be spent on disaster relief. Even though Zhao Mo had already gone south

In one trip, a large amount of food was collected and sent northward. At the same time, it was not enough to meet the needs of the people in Zhili and the food supply for the Liaodong army. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has ended in various places, and there must be some signs of surplus food. Zhao Mo this time

When you go south, you never come back empty-handed.

After Qin Hanzhen sent her newlywed husband away, she stayed in the capital and took care of Zhao Mo's house. She greatly reduced the number of times she went out. Except for entering the palace, she almost always thanked guests behind closed doors. Of course, she would still be in other courtyards in private.

She would meet relatives at her natal family, or come to her natal family. But in other social situations, she was almost nowhere to be seen.

At this time, there was no need for her to worry about Zhao Mo's favors in the capital. Instead, as Zhao Mo's clan identity, she participated in important military affairs of the imperial court, and it was more in line with the rules for her family to adopt a posture to avoid suspicion.

I don’t know if the emperor and the prince were very satisfied with Qin Hanzhen’s behavior, but the queen mother became more and more friendly to her. Every time they saw her entering the palace, they would pull her to sit next to her and talk to her for a while, with a friendly attitude.

She was kind and kind, and was willing to take her to small gatherings with Princess Lin'an and other royal ladies. Her social partners in the circle of royal relatives seemed to be on a higher level than before, and they were no longer Princess Xiuning and others.

The junior female relatives of the clan took the lead. Several princesses, county princesses—of course including Princess Xiuning—as well as the eldest princess and the eldest princesses were all very kind to her. Although Qin Hanzhen understood that they

This is all for the sake of the Queen Mother, but all the glory they can get is nothing. The energy of these noble ladies is no worse than that of the princes and princes.

In the past, the only people Qin Hanzhen interacted with, apart from Princess Xiuning and a few other clan elders who often interacted with each other, were basically the mistresses of various royal houses or the younger county princesses and concubines. Now it is different, she interacts directly with these

The Princess of the County, the Crown Princess, and the mothers-in-law of the young mistresses got in touch with each other. In the eyes of the Princess of the County, the Crown Princess, and the Young Mistresses, their status was much higher.

Perhaps as a result, she would make many fewer friends. Not everyone was like the Princess Sun of Miyang County, who was willing to talk to her on equal terms and didn't care about the power she represented behind her.

But she thinks there is nothing wrong with this. In fact, she is not very willing to discuss with others all day long about "how to capture a man's heart", "how to deal with concubines having sex" and "how to give birth to a son as soon as possible" or "

Topics such as "How to quarrel with your sister-in-law".

Qin Hanzhen was so calm, and she was simply unfazed. Seeing this, the Queen Mother fell in love with her more and more. Originally she just pitied Qin Hanzhen for separating from her husband after they got married, but now she feels more that her temperament suits her. Sometimes.

The Queen Mother would also say in front of Qin Hanzhen: "The Ai family used to only think that you were raised by your grandmother. Your grandmother's temperament will definitely not get along with the Ai family, so the Ai family does not have to force themselves to get along with you too much, lest they

Everyone is embarrassed. Now the Aijia feels that they really thought wrong in the past. It's good for you to be like this, and your grandmother may not be as the Aijia imagined. Most likely, they haven't seen each other infrequently and haven't talked in depth, so they don't understand each other either.

It's just a misunderstanding. From now on, Ai Jia will call Mrs. Yongjiahou to Beijing more often, maybe she will get along well with her."

Qin Hanzhen could only laugh dryly, thinking that his grandmother had no obvious shortcomings, except that sometimes her acting style and way of thinking were incompatible with the ladies of the capital. But this was not a big problem. When Niu first arrived in the capital, she might have had some problems with etiquette.

There are still some shortcomings. Now that I have adapted to it for a few years, I am often accompanied by two nuns from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On weekdays, I often have contact with Princess Xiuning, Mrs. Yunyanghou, Mrs. Shoushanbo and other noble ladies.

There can be no mistakes on the surface. Even if the grasp of the topic of conversation is not very accurate, the worst thing is not to take the initiative to stir up the topic and just follow the Queen Mother's words. Taking a step back, based on the relationship between Qin Bai and the emperor and his son

Regarding the relationship, even if Mrs. Niu really said something wrong, would the Queen Mother really care about her? Most likely she would just laugh it off. If the Queen Mother is unhappy, she should avoid calling Mr. Niu into the palace in the future.

So after Qin Hanzhen left the palace, he made a special trip back to the Yongjia Marquis Mansion and gave the Niu family such instructions. Within two days, the Cining Palace summoned the Niu family, but by the way, Cai Shengnan, the Yongjia Marquis, was summoned.

Mrs. Crown Prince took her with her. Accompanied by Cai Shengnan and secretly guiding her, Niu didn't make any mistakes and even chatted happily with the Queen Mother. It is conceivable that the number of times the Queen Mother summons Niu will increase in the future.

September passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the seventh day of October in a blink of an eye. In the tense atmosphere of the court, the Longevity Festival arrived.

This year the emperor originally planned to have a big event, and it was also a warm-up for the succession of the throne. Unexpectedly, there was a rain disaster first, and then there was the war in Liaodong, so the emperor ordered everything to be simple. This Wanshou Festival is far less lively than in previous years.

All kinds of celebrations are about saving money. The extra money and food in the treasury will be given priority to supply to Liaodong and to relieve the people affected by the rain. In addition, not long ago, the palace just let a large number of palace people out of the palace. For a time,

The court was full of voices praising the emperor's benevolence.

Immediately, the emperor announced the decision to pass the throne to the prince on the first day of the next year at the court meeting on Wanshou Festival. The court officials respectfully asked the emperor three times to retain the throne, and the emperor resigned three times, and finally made the decree.

Although many people are already aware of this incident, it is too sudden for most of the subjects. The emperor seems to be in good health and has enough energy. He can obviously sit on the throne for a few more years. Why?

Suddenly he said that he wants to take the Zen position? Although the prince is very good, a few years ago he was almost considered to be a frail and short-lived person. Although it has improved in recent years, he still has the reputation of being frail.

And there is still no heir. Is it really okay if the emperor passes the throne to the prince? There are a lot of discussions between the government and the public.

But soon, the people who were discussing had no time to consider whether the prince had enough physical strength to take up the position of the new king. Because the emperor and the prince jointly announced that the new king would ascend the throne in the new year and should offer a general amnesty to the whole world. Now that the pardon order has been issued, but

The scope is much smaller, and at the same time, it has been announced that a small encore will be held, and the encore exam will be held next spring. Those candidates who failed in the exam this spring can take the exam again.
