Chapter 644: Long Live
There is indeed a change in Liaodong. News came from the border town that several Beirong cavalry were cruising along the border with unknown movements, and a small mountain village was attacked in the middle of the night, and only two hunters who did not return to the village to rest that night were escaped. The location of the small mountain village is very sensitive, right on a mountain pass along the border, next to a large area of primeval forest, and the location is quite secluded. The border town guard suspected that this was the Beirong people secretly sneaking into the forest to lurk, ready to carry out a sneak attack on our border soldiers and civilians at any time.
This is just the first emergency report from Liaodong, which can be regarded as an early warning. The next two days, there were Liaodong urgent reports to the capital, the day before was the border town defenders of our dynasty in the process of inspecting the forest, and the Beirong soldiers were in close contact, and there was a battle, there were mutual casualties, and the people were temporarily driven back to the border of Beirong; the next day it became the Beirong people officially sent troops to attack the defenders of our border town, and it was flowering on three sides, and the troops were divided into three ways to attack three border towns at the same time.
Although the imperial court had been on guard for a long time, and deployed a lot of manpower and material resources on the Liaodong side, and even a large number of military rations were deployed in the past, but the actions of the Beirong people were much earlier than the imperial court expected, and some of the materials that were originally on the way may be temporarily stalled on the way due to the impact of the war, and they cannot be sent to the border towns on time. There are also several armies that were originally on the way, and they can't make it to the battlefield for a while, which is something to worry about. The imperial court can be said to be confident, but there are also some unexpected, after a short period of chaos, it can be regarded as adjusting to an orderly state.
Zhao Mo did not participate in military affairs, but he had a share in the allocation of military rations, and this time he had to go to the palace, the military department, and the household department every day, leaving early and returning late every day, and he was as busy as a spinning top.
He guiltily apologized to his new wife Qin Hanzhen: "I thought I could accompany you for a few more days, but I didn't expect the Beirong people to be so blind, and the emperor really needs manpower......"
Qin Hanzhen couldn't help laughing: "What are you talking about? Am I such a person who doesn't know the priorities of things? Even if I am newly married? Our life is not like there is nothing else to do except you and me." When the Beirong people are solved, you have time to accompany me, where are you just a few months away? You don't have to compensate me, the key is to try to assist the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to solve the Beirong people. I won't get angry just because you're busy with business and have less time to spend with me. On the contrary, the more competent and good you behave, the happier I am. This proves that I have a good eye for choosing a husband, and how many girls in and out of the capital can compare to me?"
Zhao Mo was suddenly full of pride when he said this: "It's true, you can rest assured! Don't talk about the whole capital, even if it's all Dazhao, there will be no woman who is more picky about men than you!" He felt that even for the face of his beloved wife, he had to do his best this time!
Qin Hanzhen clapped his hands and cheered him on, and said: "I'll do a good job of logistics for you, and you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation." If you need anything, just send someone back and tell me. Leave it to me at home, and I can take care of the property of the palace for you. I also have the trivial matters of the life of the subordinate officials in the front courtyard. โ
Zhao Mo hugged her movingly: "Okay, really true, you are really my virtuous helper! โ
This wave of business blows to each other. Qin Hanzhen cheekily said that it turned out that she and Zhao Mo were indeed a natural pair.
With Qin Hanzhen's logistical guarantee, Zhao Mo really devoted himself to business. Although he only assisted the household department in collecting military rations, the task was still quite heavy, and he had to go on a foreign mission when needed, one or two months at a time. In the summer, the heavy rain in the whole territory of Zhili greatly affected the output of autumn grain, and the harvest of autumn grain this year is not as good as a quarter of last year, and in order to relieve the disaster, we have to spend another part of the grain out. Even if Zhao Mo had already gone to the south and collected a large amount of grain to go north, it was far from enough to deal with the gap between the needs of the people of Zhili and the military rations of Liaodong. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has now ended in various places, and there must still be a surplus of food to show signs. Zhao Mo went south this time, and he would not return empty-handed.
Qin Hanzhen sent away her newlywed husband, so she really 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, almost closed doors. Of course, in private, she will still see her mother's relatives in the other courtyard, or come to her mother's house. But in other social occasions, she is almost nowhere to be seen.
At this time, she didn't need to worry about the human relations in the capital for Zhao Mo. On the contrary, as Zhao Mo's clan identity, he participated in the important military affairs of the imperial court, and his family made a gesture of avoiding suspicion, which was more in line with the rules.
I don't know if the emperor and the crown prince are very satisfied with Qin Hanzhen's approach, and the queen mother is more and more kind to her. Every time I saw her enter the palace, I would pull her to sit down beside her, talk for a while, with a kind and kind attitude, and I was willing to take her to participate in the small gathering of the eldest princess of Lin'an and other nobles of the clan. Her social partners in the circle of the royal family seem to be on a higher level than before, and they are no longer dominated by Princess Xiuning and the younger daughters of the clan. Several princes and princesses, princesses of the county - including Princess Xiuning, of course - as well as the eldest princess and the eldest princess, were very kind to her. Although Qin Han really understands that they are all looking at the face of the Queen Mother, but the light that can be stained is not white or white. The energy of these noble ladies is no worse than those princes and county kings.
In the past, Qin Hanzhen interacted with each other, except for a few clan elders who often came and went, such as Princess Xiuning, basically the young grandmothers of various royal palaces or the younger princesses and princesses. Now it's different, she directly dealt with these county princesses, princesses and young grandmothers' mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law, and in the eyes of the county princesses, princesses and young grandmothers, her status is much higher.
Maybe in this way, she may make a lot fewer friends, not everyone is like the princess of Wangyang County, Sun, who is willing to talk to her peers, and doesn't care about the power she represents behind her. But she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that, in fact, she doesn't like to talk to others all day about topics such as "how to grasp a man's heart", "how to deal with a concubine", "how to have a son as soon as possible" or "how to intrigue with a concubine" and so on.
Qin Han is really so calm, he is simply not shocked. The Queen Mother saw it in her eyes and liked her more and more, originally she just pitied Qin Hanzhen for being newly married and separated from her husband, but now she felt more that her temperament was in line with her heart. Sometimes the Queen Mother would say in front of Qin Hanzhen: "The mourning family used to only be raised by your grandmother, and your grandmother's temperament must not get along with the mourning family, so the mourning family doesn't have to get along with you too much, so as not to embarrass everyone." Now the mourning family feels that they really thought wrong in the past. You are very good like this, and your grandmother may not be as the mourning family imagined, eighty percent of them have seen less and have not talked deeply, so they don't understand each other, so they will have a misunderstanding. After mourning, the mourning family will summon Mrs. Yongjiahou to Beijing more, maybe it will be quite compatible. โ
Qin Hanzhen could only laugh dryly, thinking that his grandmother had no obvious shortcomings, that is, sometimes her style and way of thinking were incompatible with the ladies in the capital. But it's not a big deal. When Niu first arrived in the capital, he may have been missing in the number of etiquette, but now he has adapted to it for a few years, and he often follows the two grandmothers from the Internal Affairs Office around him, and he often has dealings with Princess Xiuning, Mrs. Yunyang Hou, Mrs. Shoushanbo and other noblewomen, and there will be no mistakes on the surface. Even if the grasp of the topic of conversation is not very accurate, it is a big deal not to take the initiative to provoke the topic, just follow the style of the Queen Mother's words. Take 10,000 steps back and say, with the relationship between Qin Bai and the emperor's father and son, even if the Niu family really said something wrong, would the queen mother really have anything to do with her? Most of the time it was just a laugh. If the Queen Mother is unhappy, she will summon the Niu family into the palace in the future.
So after Qin Hanzhen left the palace, he specially went back to Yongjiahou's mansion, and instructed the Niu family to do this. Within two days, Cining Palace really summoned the Niu family, but by the way, Cai Shengnan, the wife of the Marquis of Yongjia, was also brought with him. With Cai Shengnan by his side, secretly guiding, the Niu family didn't make any mistakes, and chatted very happily with the Queen Mother. It is conceivable that the Queen Mother will summon Niu more often in the future.
September has passed in a flash, and it is the seventh day of October in a blink of an eye. In the tense atmosphere of the imperial court, the birthday festival arrived.
This year, the emperor originally wanted to do a big job, and it was also a warm-up for the succession, but he didn't expect that there would be a rain disaster first, and then there would be a military incident in Liaodong, so the emperor ordered everything to be simple. This Halloween Festival is far less lively than in previous years, and all kinds of celebrations can be saved. The surplus money and grain in the national treasury were given priority to the Liaodong side and the relief of the people affected by the rain. In addition, not long ago, the palace released 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, at the court meeting on the day of Wanshou Day, the emperor announced the decision that he would pass the throne to the crown prince on the first day of next year. The courtiers respectfully asked the emperor to stay on the throne three times, and the emperor resigned three times, and finally made a will.
Although many people already know this in their hearts, it is too sudden for most of the subjects. The emperor seems to be in good health and has enough energy, and he can sit on the throne for a few more years, so why did he suddenly say that he wants to take the throne? Although the crown prince is quite good, a few years ago he was almost considered a weak and short-lived person, and although he has improved in the past few years, he still has a reputation for being frail, and he still has no heirs. Does it really matter if the emperor passes on the throne to the crown prince? There are many discussions between the government and the opposition.
But soon, the people who discussed it didn't have time to consider whether the prince had enough physical strength to be qualified for the position of new monarch. Because the emperor and the crown prince jointly announced that the new monarch would ascend the throne in the New Year, it should have been a general amnesty for the world, but now the amnesty decree is issued, but the scope is much smaller, and at the same time, it was announced that a small Enke will be held, and the Enke examination will be held in the spring of next year. Those candidates who failed in the spring of this year can take the test again.
