Zhao Mo was surprised: "How did you guess?!" His wife always seemed to be able to bring him new surprises, usually not obvious, but always inadvertently revealing extraordinary intelligence.

Qin Hanzhen blinked and said with a smile: "Isn't this what the secret spy department does? Since the people of Beirong can send secret spies to our country to carry out conspiracy, then the people of the secret spy department can also go to Beirong to make trouble? If it is in normal times, they may just make a small fuss, or inquire about the news, or something. But now that they are fighting, they can not only listen to the military situation, but also carry out some small actions such as assassinating generals and burning granaries, if they can succeed, it will be enough for the Beirong people to drink a pot!"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "You guessed right, Yuan Tongzhi brought a group of people, and I don't know how to do it, kill the prince of Beirong, blame other princes, and cause chaos in the Beirong court." If the king of Beirong wants to settle the grudges and disputes between his wife and concubine and son, he is busy enough, how much attention can he put on the war? This is not enough, Yuan Tongzhi did burn a big granary, but the key is that on the way to burn the grain, he also killed a deputy general and a military advisor. The Beirong army is full of hills, and the soldiers of different tribes are opposed to each other, and no one obeys the other, and it is only by the mediation of the deputy general with a prominent family background and good popularity that they can be twisted together. Now that the deputy general is missing, Yuan Tongzhi will do some tricks and tricks again, so that they will continue to suspect each other, and in the blink of an eye, they will become a basin of loose sand, and the battle will be full of flaws, and they will not be Yunyang Hou's opponent at all! Without that military advisor to give advice, the Beirong army will show its defeat in the blink of an eye!"

When Zhao Mo left Jinzhou, the Marquis of Yunyang had already led the generals of Liaodong to regain the previously lost territory, killed and retreated the Beirong people for thirty miles, and captured thousands of defeated generals, one of whom was the youngest son of the king of Beirong. King Beirong originally had only three sons-in-law, the eldest son died early, and the second son had just died in the assassination of Yuan Tongzhi and others, and now there was only one younger son left. If he has a good one, there will be problems with the succession to the throne of Beijon. The struggle between concubines will inevitably lead to bloody storms and turmoil in the country. And the queen and the forces behind it, in order to ensure the interests of their own side, will not allow the youngest son to have an accident.

Queen Beirong is the daughter of the Gaomen of the Beirong family, her mother's family is very prominent, and she is also very deterrent in the military. After King Beirong succeeded to the throne, he was able to quickly stabilize the court situation, grasp the military and political power, and realize the dream of southern invasion, thanks to the support of the Yue family. Even the main general of the Southern Invasion War was also the queen's maiden cousin. After the capture of the young son of the king of Beirong, the war entered a stalemate. The main general had no intention of fighting again, and the Beirong court was also mired in strife. This battle can be said to have just begun and has already ended.

Zhao Mo told Qin Hanzhen: "The Beirong army retreated again and again, and the Marquis of Yunyang took the opportunity to regain the lost ground and gain the upper hand. But if we really want to fight, Liaodong will be bitterly cold, and our Dazhao army will not be able to afford to lose. The emperor and the princes of the court were afraid that they had no intention of destroying Beirong, and in the end most of them wanted peace talks. Now that the prince of Beirong is in our hands, when the court negotiates, there is no need to tolerate too much, and it is not necessary to raise some bargaining chips. Even if King Beirong is ambitious and unwilling to bow down, someone will force him to bend down. I rushed back to the capital to report the good news to the emperor. What should I do next, whether to negotiate peacefully or continue to fight, the Marquis of Yunyang is still waiting for the emperor's will. But the propagation of the will is not my responsibility. The emperor had already sent someone else to the city before dark. Next, I just need to spend the New Year at home with peace of mind. ”

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but chant the Buddha: "That's great! When this good news spreads, everyone in the capital will be able to live this year with peace of mind." It's a pity that the Marquis of Yunyang and they still have to continue to guard in Liaodong and can't go home, but the Cai family knows that the war is going well, and no matter how much victory is hoped, they probably won't care about this little regret, right?"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "By the way, I will tell you a good news, the little prince of Beirong was captured, and the credit was made by Cai XVII." This time, this brother-in-law of yours has shown a big face! Several Liaodong generals admired him very much, and despite the fact that he was the nephew and adopted son of the Marquis of Yunyang, they couldn't wait to keep him in Liaodong for a long time. If he hadn't agreed with your fourth sister earlier, I'm afraid that some people would be willing to hire him as a son-in-law!"

Qin Hanzhen was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Really, Cai Seventeen has made a great contribution, if the fourth sister knows, she will be very happy!" As for the fact that there are many people who take a fancy to Cai Seventeen's fat or something...... Who told them to be clumsy and fail to discover talents early? If they fall behind, don't regret it.

Qin Hanzhen is not worried that Cai Qiqi will ruin his marriage at all, and he is not afraid that someone will dare to dig the foot of the wall. Although the second room of the Qin family is not obvious, Qin Jinchun is still the niece and granddaughter of Queen Qin, and Qin Bai, the Marquis of Yongjia, is her uncle and grandfather, and he can still support her in marriage. Ordinary generals in the army will not risk offending the generals of Cai, Min, Su, and Ma, and make the Qin family ugly, and they have to recruit a young talent who has just emerged as a son-in-law. Moreover, since the Cai family came to ask for it in person, they would not change their hexagram before marriage and turn their good in-laws into enemies. The Qin and Cai families are in contact with each other, and they are close to each other, they have both friendship and entanglement of interests, where can they say that they will turn their faces?

Qin Hanzhen asked Zhao Mo: "Can you tell this news?" I want to tell my mother, the fourth sister and the eldest sister Cai, so that they will also be happy." ”

Zhao Mo said: "I'm afraid that the Marquis of Yunyang Mansion has already heard the letter this time." The mother-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law may be late, you just need to bring a letter, you don't have to go too far, they have their own way to inquire. But you don't have to make a trip yourself. As he spoke, he put his arms around his wife's slender waist, "I finally came back, shouldn't you accompany me more?"

Qin Hanzhen's face turned slightly red, sat on his lap along the way, and said angrily: "I just brought a letter, or sent someone to say, who said that I want to go in person?" I'm still busy, not busy with you, but now it's only two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have more things to prepare." You've worked hard, go to bed on the kang. It's warm in the house, there is food and drink, what do you want, just tell the girls. When I'm done, I'll come back to you. As he spoke, he pretended to get up and broke away from Zhao Mo's hand.

With a slight effort in his hand, he hugged the person back into his arms and hugged him tighter: "Nonsense! I've slept enough, just eat enough for dinner in a while." What are you doing that you can't tell your subordinates to do?, are those trivial things not as important as mine?!" Saying that, he simply took Qin Hanzhen's hand and got up, hugged the person and walked straight to the warm pavilion.

Qin Hanzhen protested coquettishly: "What are you pulling me for?" dragged him and refused to move forward.

Zhao Mo simply picked up the princess, pushed open the curtain with his body and entered the warm pavilion: "Didn't you tell me to go to sleep on the kang? Come on, come on, you can sleep with me! It's not too late to have dinner after sleeping." ”

Qin Hanzhen screamed: "What are you doing?!" screamed delicately and softly, protesting on his lips, but in fact, he had no intention of struggling seriously.

The embroidered curtain hanging at the door of the warm pavilion shook a few times, and then it was quiet again. Feng'er quietly came in with two teas, pursed her lips when she saw this, put down the tea, turned around and blocked the lotus stamen that sent the tableware, and asked her to call someone to prepare hot water.

With Zhao Mo by his side, Qin Hanzhen can finally breathe a sigh of relief this New Year. Whether it is the grand banquet of the clan in the palace, or the banquet of the palaces and princesses' mansions, or the banquet of the royal mansion of Suning County itself, with the help of Zhao Mo, who is relatively experienced, Qin Hanzhen has not made any mistakes. Even the most scathing elders in the clan must be fair to say that the new princess of Suning County is still quite capable. Qin Hanzhen can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the clan.

On the first day of the first lunar month, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne and succeeded him as the new monarch. The emperor abdicated and became the emperor. Because the relationship between the palace has not yet been arranged, the Emperor Taishang still lives in the Qianqing Palace, and the new monarch still lives in the East Palace, and goes to the study room of the Qianqing Palace every day to deal with court affairs. However, the Emperor Taishang no longer appears at court meetings, and rarely receives courtiers. In addition to expressing condolences to a few hard-working ministers in the New Year, and instructing them to support and help the new monarch, he completely enjoyed his leisure. Originally, he saw that the Emperor Taishang had never moved the palace, and the people who were about to move in their hearts did not dare to underestimate the new monarch anymore when they saw this.

At the same time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are working overtime to continue to be busy with the renovation of the palace. It turned out that after the abdication of the emperor, he did not plan to live in the palace for a long time. In order to make room for the new monarch and to allow himself to recuperate in a more comfortable place, the Emperor Taishang took a fancy to the palace on the side of Xiaotangshan and planned to live there until the summer. For such a long time, his new residence in the palace must have been prepared. The harem concubines moved to the palace, and it could also be successfully completed. It's just that the Xiaotangshan Palace was originally lived in the early years when the new monarch was still weak, and the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager have not been here for many years, and they still need to be repaired. After working overtime a year ago, I barely repaired the house. At this time, we will have to arrange the interior of the house again, and add more flowers and trees of various colors. After a year, the emperor will be moved.

Of course, these things don't have much to do with Qin Hanzhen. She only needs to accompany Zhao Mo in and out of the palace, and it is enough to pay New Year's greetings to the palaces and princesses. However, there was a letter from Suning, saying that Zhao Mo's father, Uncle Shuo, was very satisfied with the New Year's gift given by his new daughter-in-law, but complained that his son didn't take his daughter-in-law to kowtow to him during the New Year, which was very uncourteous.

Zhao Mo said to this: "I'm full of leisure." Find something for him to do. And he threw the letter aside.

Seeing this, Qin Hanzhen lowered his head and pursed his lips and snickered, feeling really relieved in his heart. To be honest, she really didn't like to go to see that father-in-law.

Zhao Mo discussed with Qin Hanzhen with great interest: "This year's Lantern Festival will definitely be lively, let's go shopping together?

Qin Hanzhen was also happy to follow his wishes: "Yes, which lantern festival are you going to go to? ”

Zhao Mo said: "Whichever you fall in love with, you can go to whichever you like." From fourteen to sixteen, there are lantern festivals every day, and we simply go to every lantern festival in the inner and outer cities, and we are idle anyway. ”

Qin Hanzhen agreed with a smile.
