"When were peanuts introduced to China? Ming Dynasty, right? Peanuts seem to be a product of the American continent, that is, after Columbus discovered the New World, at the end of the Ming Dynasty? Early Qing Dynasty? My God......"

He Mulan had a bad night with the name Lei who had been chosen by his newly adopted little brother, but she was very "benevolent" and told him before, "Take your own name, what you take and what I call ......"

Is this an alternative way of explaining self-inflicted humiliation?

Or is she making a fuss herself?

It should be because peanuts are still early to be introduced into China, so people here don't think the name "peanut" is very strange, and Su Hejun even praised the name Xiao'er for being good and very meaningful.

The slave and the master's surname here are very normal, and they can't even be given the same surname unless they are the master's trusted servants.

Just like the Hua family is a servant of the He Lai family, but in order to avoid the main family, only dare to use "flower", although the pronunciation of Hua and He in Xianbei is almost identical, but as soon as the banner is played, everyone knows what is going on.

Peanut gave this name and was praised by Su Hejun, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, and his eyes were much softer when he saw Su Hejun. Su Hejun and Peanut are sleeping together now, and the two have a good relationship and are also beneficial to working together on weekdays, which can be regarded as the only joy.

Early the next morning, the newly baked "peanut" carried the basin into the sub-tent, and waited for Hemulan to clean his face with the expressions of other entourage, or inquiry, or curiosity.

Helplessly, although one of them is a slave, he has never done the work of a high-level slave, and he can't serve anyone, although the other is a pro-soldier, but he is a new one, and he is not used to being served, not to mention that He Mulan is used to taking care of himself, so he immediately took over the basin, cleaned it up by himself, and picked up a water bladder to rinse his mouth and spit the water into the basin, as if he had washed his face and brushed his teeth.

The winter wind here is more ruthless than a knife, and He Mulan is not particular about it in modern times, but it is also used for toners, day creams, and night creams, and when I get here, I don't even have a good face oil for my face.

When the middle-aged Mulan is there, when it comes to the young Mulan, don't think about the face fat, I don't know what the oil to wipe the face is, and the face is more itchy after wiping, and it can't prevent chapping at all.

"The ......"

Who's who?

Cough.

When the nickname is okay, when the name is really not called.

"You don't have to serve me in the future, just bring the water." He Mulan looked at Peanut's stiff expression and explained: "I am used to washing my face and dressing myself, really, you ask Su and Jun, I have never let him serve."

"The host...... Shouldn't villains have their last name?" Child, Ano, Peanut lowered his eyes." If it causes the owner to be unhappy, I'll call it 'Xiaosheng.'"

"Nope! Peanuts are good, good! "

He Mulan was shocked into a snake spirit again, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's called a peanut!"

Peanuts are just a food, how pretentious is it to call Xiaosheng?

In case she wants to ask Su Hejun to do him a favor in the future, is it difficult to say, "Help Xiaosheng carry a bucket of water", "Xiaosheng is so tired, can you go and get busy?"

……

The whole person can't blink normally, hey!

This is the wrong rhythm of the theater!

"I think it's good to be called Xiaosheng." Su Hejun smiled and said on the side, "Then adults will call you peanuts, and I will call you Xiaosheng."

He patted Peanut on the shoulder as a gesture of affection.

The latter moved the corners of his mouth slightly, wanting to make a laughing gesture, but probably rarely laughing, so what he did was uglier than crying, which caused a burst of pity in Hemulan's heart.

This kid ...... I'm afraid I haven't had any friends, right?

Su Hejun is also a good person, whether it is a slave, a general, a soldier or a general, he almost treats everyone equally. Although I don't know what to spy on, I lurked beside her as an entourage, but it also shows from another aspect that he is indeed a person who can stretch and bend, and he has no face (self-esteem?) At all.

Even in later generations, he became the head of the egret officials, and looking at the egrets under him, they were all trustworthy men.

It's just that this system is not very good, and Da Wei has no money, so I don't know what he relied on to make a living later......

She actually has the leisure to think about how they make a living, Hua Mulan in the two lives, it seems that she doesn't have any ability to make a living, she is even more miserable, she has more than 70 mouths before she becomes famous......

He Mulan muttered in his heart for a while, and then he thought of business, took out a small bag from the suitcase, and counted it carefully, there were about three taels of gold, which was all the gold she had saved from being born and dying in the army for more than half a year.

She asked her fellow villagers to send Huaishuo to Hua Kehu to hand over the others, and some of them were given to Mo Huai'er's home after knowing about Mo Huai'er.

When He Mulan just porcelain Mulan, although he did not spend money like dirt, he could be regarded as a generous shot, when he first wrapped Zhang Bin in Beijing, he made a gold leaf, at least three taels. Later, when I visited the Qinglou, a gold leaf was only enough to have a cup of tea with other people's Oiran, and I couldn't spend the night.

But when I got here, I was born and died several times, and everything was sold, and it was only these three or two.

It looks like three taels, there are 150 grams, and 300 yuan for one gram of gold in modern times, this is 45,000 yuan, her salary for most of the year......

The Great Wei court or something, I really want the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass!

"I was born and died for more than half a year, and with such a little savings, I had to give it to those moths in the army......"

He Mulan took out a tael of gold and took the two taels of cloth bags with them. [,！ The paperwork was handed to Su Hejun together.

"When you go, probe the wind first and see if you can kill the bargain......"

Su Hejun showed an expression of "What are you kidding people like me will bargain", which made He Mulan suddenly remember that the Su He family is also a big family, and he was really sad for a while, put the gold back in the cloth bag, and gave it all to him.

"I'll give it all to you, more than three taels, and I don't have any."

Su Hejun took the cloth bag and couldn't help but pause.

He grew up with food and clothing, and later went to the prince's side to be a lang official, and he didn't have to worry about food and clothing, not to mention three taels of gold, even three catties of gold he had seen.

But now these three taels of gold are a little burning in my hands.

Dawei didn't have a good fortune in the first place, and if he didn't pluck the goose, he wouldn't be able to live at all. But the goose that has been plucked may have been so cold that it was about to freeze to death.

He clenched the cloth bag and nodded slowly: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle your matter."

Su Hejun walked out of the tent with the cloth bag, He Mulan sighed, and ordered Peanut to take the remaining seventy-six slaves to join the army tent today, and help Lu to join the army to go to the high chariot man, and then got up and went out of the tent.

She is a personal soldier by the general's side, and she also needs a personal guard. Today is her shift.

This is the first time Su Hejun has come to the military merit account.

He came to the army, naturally, not only to search for talents, but more because of His Majesty's worries.

The Black Mountain Camp is the border defense line that he actively perfected during the period of the crown prince, and it can be said that His Majesty attaches more importance to it than the capital of the Xia State that is still in the war today.

Although Tuoba Yan does not have outstanding ability to fight, he is also an old and serious general, and he is good at training, his wife, son and daughter are all in the palace in disguise, and the emperor is also at ease with him.

But sometimes, being reassuring doesn't mean you're capable.

Whether it is the egret officer, the eyeliner in the army, or the general in the army with a straightforward personality, they have all played to His Majesty the disadvantages of the army's **, the discord of the three armies, and the joint suppression of the right army by the left army and the Chinese army. But all along, Da Wei has been fighting with the Xia State and the Song State, and the wars and various frictions have been going on one after another.

Seeing that the crusade against the Xia Kingdom had gradually come to an end, Su Hejun and several other colleagues were sent to Montenegro City and the Montenegrin camp to personally investigate the situation in the army.

He went to see Tuoba Yan and told him that the situation in his army had reached the point where the emperor could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and this was Tuoba Tao's "care" of Tuoba Yan.

Su Hejun believed that Tuoba Yan would definitely knock his men and let them restrain a little recently, but Su Hejun was sure that he would still know what he wanted to know.

As he expected, when he entered the military merit account, the group of Gong Cao who copied the military merit first greeted him with a smile, and when he knew that he was Mulan's entourage and wanted to enter the military merit, he began to make all kinds of difficulties.

Hua Mulan has the documents given in the military account, according to the laws of the Great Wei, as long as there are documents, certificates, and deliveries, Gong Cao will be entered into the military register as proof of his promotion, but if it has to be delayed, or if one is missed, it will be a disaster for most illiterate soldiers.

Su Hejun reached into his arms to take out the money bag, and when he made this move, the expressions of the gongcao next to him looked at him, in Su Hejun's eyes, it was like a jackal finally saw the prey falling from the mouth of the strong man and began to besiege.

He knew that it was wrong, and he knew that he was powerless to change, and he knew that the most important thing to do was to give them what he had in his arms in exchange for the desired result.

But for some reason, this Egret official, who has been doing it for a while, should have seen all kinds of "logical" and numb people, but inexplicably took the money bag back into his arms.

Seeing his movements, all the Gong Cao Qiqi's faces changed.

"You kid, you dare to look down on us!"

"It's just a small retinue ......"

"I don't think it's you who don't know your brains!" Su Hejun sneered, "It's a pity that you are all from a good background, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do the position of Gongcao, but one by one you are as stupid as a pig, and you only know how to extort violently......"

"It's crazy!"

"The following is guilty! Someone, drag him out! "

Su Hejun put his hand into his arms again, and everyone thought that he had finally understood the current affairs, but found that what he took out was not any gold and silver treasure, but a bronze medal that could make people scare their souls.

This is the Egret Order, which is engraved with the words "Do not avoid the strong and strong, and the hundred bureaucrats are solemn" in Chinese characters. The Yin carving of the Egret Order is an ordinary waiting official Cao, the Yang carving is the waiting official envoy, and the Zhu carving is the Hou Official Order. The person who came was the envoy waiting, and then thinking of the words of the general who beat them some time ago, everyone's face suddenly changed.

"Your ......, my lord"

They were inexplicably ready to defend themselves, and Su Hejun waved his hand and took the bronze medal back.

"I saw that you were killing yourself, so I wanted to save you and let the general warn you. But it's only been a long time, and you've reverted to your old ways. There are a lot of people in the army who are waiting to be Gong Cao's counselors, and not everyone is as greedy as you, I hope you can understand my kindness, don't make it too difficult for me! "

He slapped the paperwork on the desk, turned around and left.

As long as that group of people is not stupid, they know what to do.

Su Hejun left the military merit account, and everyone in the military merit account was full of sadness. A young official stomped his foot, dropped the sentence "I'm going to discuss with my brother", opened the tent and ran away. There are a few old ones, although not as many as his. [,！ It's panicked, it's probably as anxious as being caught red-handed in cheating.

"Don't panic, you don't blame the public, we've always done this, although it's a little difficult for Mulan......"

He couldn't say it anymore, and slammed the case!

"This guy is actually hiding such an identity! Also maintain Mulan so far! "

"Anyway, don't you think this Mulan's identity is suspicious? Not only did the right army protect her, but a good old man like General Xia Hong did not hesitate to draw his sword for him. What kind of identity is General Yingyang, a member of the royal family, and a person who has the royal tent to protect the army, will actually come forward for him and take him under the tent as a shelter......"

These Xianbei Gongcao looked at the man who spoke with a pale face. I saw that he didn't mean to joke at all, and even the tip of his nose was sweating.

"Now, even the egret envoy beside His Majesty is doing his entourage, think about it......"

A group of people can't help but start thinking cranky, and everyone has a different guess about Mulan's identity in their minds. There was a Gong Cao who couldn't help but start to look up Mulan's military registration, seeing that his family was in Huaishuo, his father was a centurion, and he was the second in the family, and he served in the army for his father, and said with a puzzled face: "What's the problem?" It's just an ordinary military household, huh?"

"You're so stupid, Su Hejun or Egret Envoy, who would have thought that he would be an entourage? Could he also use his true identity to enter the camp? The military governments in various places do not listen to the call of the army, and they really fake the identity of which military household's post, can you recognize it?" A Gong Cao had a cold face: "No, this is no longer a trivial matter, I have to go out too!"

"I ...... too"

"I ......"

For a while, Gong Cao, who had an identity and background, ran away cleanly, and went to find the "masters" behind him.

There was a master bookkeeper who picked up the forgotten document on the desk and looked left and right.

"This ...... What to do?"

"What else can I do? Record. People are 'winn', so many Han people in the army tent are watching, making it difficult to make things difficult, will things not be done?" A master resigned himself to the dossier and took out the file." The gods are fighting, the little ghosts are suffering, let's do things with our tails between our legs......"

The rest of the master books sighed and obediently began to enter military exploits

Saying that, Su Hejun returned to the deputy account, and he couldn't help but regret his recklessness just now. He did enter the barracks as an envoy-in-waiting, but he didn't expect to reveal his identity so quickly. He is playful by nature, and he is not jealous of evil, His Majesty asked him to be an Egret Official, and he went to be an Egret Official, and he did it like a fish in water, and he never got tired of it.

But the current situation in the army was something he had never heard of before.

Gong Cao greedy for the relics of the war dead, entered into the military merits to give "hard money", even if the promotion is near, it is not exempt from vulgarity, and you have to have a good relationship with these people. This kind of thing should be placed in Beijing, and it will be done by the officials, and I am afraid that it will not make people so disgusted, after all, most of the officials are selected by the high-ranking scholars, even if they take some hard-earned money, everyone laughs it off.

But where did the money come from? It's all a desperate effort.

Hua Mulan kept hesitating with the cloth bag, hoping that the situation of him "killing the price" was right in front of him. Mulan's temperament is already upright, but she has to compromise on this kind of thing, which shows how powerful Gong Cao has become!

The establishment of various meritorious departments in the army was originally to reward the soldiers for meritorious deeds, so that the soldiers could live a better life and have no worries about fighting, but who would have expected that now it has become the culprit of the rampant expropriation!

What if you are so poor that you don't have money to work for a soldier? Is it buried in the case file, and has become a worthless "fallen soldier", without even a word of praise?

Su Hejun, who was just in his early twenties, and the blood in his chest was not cold, only felt a wave of anger arise spontaneously, and the regret just now disappeared cleanly.

He stood up, stood up in the surprised eyes of the other lieutenants, and went straight out of the tent and went straight to Tuobaya's big tent.

He is a white egret officer who "does not avoid the strong, and the hundred bureaucrats are solemn", even if he loves to watch the excitement and how interesting life in the army is, he must not forget his duty.

Now I have seen what I should see, I know what I should know, and I should live up to the name of "Egret".

Xia Guo.

Tuoba Tao looked at the cavalry in front of him, couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and blurted out:

"How is this possible!"

On October 11, he personally led a large army to the Xia Kingdom, and the Wei knights accelerated their march in the severe cold weather, and finally arrived at Junzijin (now the bank of the Yellow River in the northeast of the Jungger Banner in Inner Mongolia) in early November.

Originally, he was going to go around the river, because it was very difficult for the cavalry to cross the river, the horses did not want to get on the boat, and it was too late to build a temporary pontoon bridge, so he could only go around the river.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, the Taoist priest named Kou Qianzhi who was recommended by Taichang Cui Hao to accompany the army actually volunteered to report to Tuoba Tao, saying that he could freeze the Yellow River and let the cavalry cross the river.

Not long ago, Cui Hao offended a large number of Xianbei nobles and clans because he tried his best to advocate the Han system in Beijing, so that Tuoba Tao had to be forced by the public to let him go home for a while, but he would still be called to inquire about all state affairs.

This time he personally conquered Wancheng, Cui Hao recommended a Taoist priest to him, because of the talent of "astrology", Tuoba Tao wanted to use him to determine the weather conditions, so he took out of Beijing with the idea of "one more is nothing", and the forecast was sunny and rainy along the way, and never made mistakes, so everyone was called "Kou Daochang".

But even being able to forecast the weather,. [,！ It doesn't mean that it's really a psychiatric thing. This man said that he could freeze the Yellow River, but didn't he lie to confuse the people?

It's only the beginning of November, and it's not a cold winter, so if you want the water of the Yellow River to freeze to the point where you can run horses, the weather must plummet to a very low level.

Tuoba Tao didn't take his words to heart, this person is also interesting, the emperor didn't believe it, he didn't argue much, that night with two little Taoist boys, in front of several generals to the Yellow River, set up the altar, did the ritual, and then generously went back to sleep.

The night was suddenly cold and shivering, and when the night passed, a thin layer of ice was formed on the river, and on the morning of the third day, Tuoba Tao got up again, and there were already soldiers on the ice who began to brazenly and carefully ride their horses on it.

This reminded him of when he had just set out on the expedition, this Kou Qianzhi had pointed to the sky and said to him: "Now that the five stars of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth have appeared in the eastern sky at the same time, this indicates that victory is in the east, and your majesty's destiny is where the people's hearts are wanted, so you can't win?"

At that time, he only regarded it as a sycophant, but now that he thinks about it, if this Kou Qianzhi really has some ability, that kind of astrological sign is indeed a great auspicious omen, how can this not make him feel shocked?

Tuoba Tao was shocked and suddenly became curious about this Kou Qianzhi, and ordered someone to summon this Heavenly Master Dao's Heavenly Master Kou Qian to come to face the saint.

Kou Qianzhi was already in his sixties at this time, he was already in long stature, coupled with many years of cultivation, and he had a fairy wind and a fluttering aura, he felt good when he saw it.

Seeing that although his steps were brisk, Tuoba Tao had no face, and his heart was already a little sure of his bearing, and when he saw that the knights could not hide the joy in their hearts running on the ice, he pointed to the ice and praised:

"The old Taoist is good at immortal arts, and he can make the river freeze and let the cavalry run away."

Kou Qianzhi smiled and shook his head slowly.

"No, no, it's not that Lao Dao really used any immortal arts, but that the celestial phenomena are like this. The cold air in the north goes south along the earth's qi, and when the earth's qi is inherited here, it is just a thick ice."

Tuoba Tao originally thought that he would ask for credit for the freezing of the Yellow River, but he didn't expect that Kou Qianzhi did not attribute a qiē to the Tao, but said that it was a celestial phenomenon, so he raised his whip, pointed to the river and asked him:

"Then why did you ask me to make the river freeze, and then go to the river and raise an altar?"

If it's not a spell, why bother?

Although he didn't care what Kou Qianzhi did, he was a great khan, and that night he went to the river in front of so many generals, so naturally someone told him what Kou Qianzhi had done.

"The two armies fought against each other, the most important morale, my Great Wei cavalry went down the way, like a bamboo, to the river, but was rejected by natural danger, and morale was not exempt from frustration. Lao Dao is a Taoist, not a general who can boost morale, and he can't help much, but it's okay to raise an altar to pray for Dawei. If it is said that the river is frozen, although the old Dao is the head of the Heavenly Master's Dao, he does not have the ability......"

The kindness of Kou Qian's smile.

"But with the altar of the old Dao, the river is really frozen, wouldn't it greatly boost morale?"

Tuoba Tao looked at Kou Qianzhi thoughtfully, just at this moment, he realized that this Taoist priest was indeed a person not to be underestimated, no wonder he could ascend to the position of the head of the Heavenly Master Dao with the surname "Kou", reform Taoism, and teach Taoism.

This person either really doesn't understand immortal arts, only understands astronomy and astronomy, and is afraid that he won't be able to get off the stage after the cowhide blows up; Either he had a strange thing in his belly, and he knew how to do what he liked, and it would not be disgusting or disgusting, and he must have seen from somewhere that although he decided to go down the river, he was very sorry that he could not cross the river, so as soon as he noticed that the sky had changed, he immediately took advantage of the right time and place to plan the matter.

"If you raise the altar, or if I answer your lion's invitation to the gods, and the river does not freeze, are you not afraid that I will cut off your head?"

Tuoba Tao chuckled, but his voice was full of mockery.

"Although the old Taoist is not an immortal, he has been taught all kinds of Taoism by the immortal master in Songshan for more than 30 years, if he can't even see the celestial phenomena well, he will cut it down, just apologize to the immortal master."

Kou Qianzhi also chuckled, and there was no fear in his words.

"You're a smart man." Tuoba Tao praised it for some reason, turned over his horse, and gave orders to the left and right. God bless me Dawei, Helian Xia will be defeated! Order the cavalry to mount their horses, and a thousand people to cross the river in batches! "

"God bless Great Wei!"

"The Great Khan is mighty!"

"Double! Double! (Hooray)"

Tuoba Tao rode a horse, slowly and leisurely living a gentleman's Jin, followed by the Taoist head Kou Qianzhi who was wearing a Taoist robe.

Tuoba Tao rode his beloved horse "Chaoguang" and kept asking Kou Qianzhi about the different meanings of celestial phenomena. Kou Qianzhi is neither humble nor arrogant, and answers them one by one.

When it came to the situation in the north, Kou Qianzhi smiled mysteriously and didn't say much. When Tuoba Tao saw him behave like this, he didn't like it in his heart, and he didn't ask questions, but went straight forward.

"Two years ago, Lao Dao actually presented a Taoist book to ask to see His Majesty......"

Tuoba Tao heard him suddenly mention this matter, and thought about it for a while, but he didn't remember it at all.

Every year, there are too many monks and laymen in various places to worship each other, each of them claims to be a Taoist person, he is not enthusiastic about the things of God and Buddha, sometimes when he sees a really famous person, he finds a place, and offers people with food and clothing, most of them are Buddhist temples or Taoist temples, neither enthusiastic nor cold.

If he says it happened two years ago, he must not remember it.

At that time, he had just prepared for the summer and was busy with his work.

"Your Majesty is busy, I don't remember it. [,！ ]." When Kou Qianzhi saw his expression, he knew that he had forgotten about it, so he revealed it and asked again: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, can you remember the old way now?"

And he who asked this was a believer.

Tuobatao's mount "Chaoguang" suddenly stopped walking, and the tall young man on horseback turned his head and said indifferently to Kou Qianzhi beside him:

"Although you have done a good job in boosting morale, you are pretending to be ghosts and gods, and you are not bright enough. Heaven wants to help me Dawei, I happened to meet it, encountered the Yellow River frozen, this is the will of heaven, although you have merit in observing the sky at night, but if you are proud of your achievements, it is unwise......"

Kou Qianzhi hurriedly said, "Don't dare".

"Whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or Han Confucian......ism," Tuoba Tao looked at Kou Qianzhi, "I'm not biased. As long as it works for me, it's all good. If you can still think like this in the future, 'boost morale', I will lift your door a little bit."

"So, you don't have to be tempting anymore."

Kou Qianzhi didn't expect this young Xianbei monarch to speak so directly, and after being slightly stunned, he made a look of admiration, and exclaimed: "It is a blessing for Great Wei to have an eclectic British lord like you."

Tuoba Tao didn't want to hear this kind of thing anymore, and he didn't take it seriously. When his horse was led from side to side and left the most difficult place to pass, the cavalry that had crossed the river immediately formed their army by the river, waiting for the whole army to assemble.

On the third day of the first month of November, Tuoba Tao led 20,000 light cavalry to cross the Yellow River and attack Tongwancheng.

On the seventh day of the first month of November, Helian Chang, the king of Xia, was unaware that the Wei army had reached the city of Wancheng, and it was not until the soldiers approached the city that he led the army to meet the Wei army in person.

As soon as the two sides fought, Helian Chang learned that it was Tuoba Tao who came in person, and immediately panicked, fled in defeat, left thousands of men and horses, and returned to Tongwancheng to hold on.

The city of Tongwan City is high and strong, the cavalry can not attack hard, the city gate and the palace gate are closed, Tuoba Tao does not want to waste the lives of his subordinates, so he divides his troops to plunder the people around Tongwan City, captures tens of thousands of people, captures more than 100,000 horses, cattle and sheep, and turns Tongwan City into a lonely city.

The Wei State was sparsely populated and most lacking in the people, so these tens of thousands of people were immediately sent back to the territory of the Wei State and arranged to live around Pingcheng, cultivate the fields, weave cloth and make clothes.

And Tuoba Tao led the army to continue south, all the way like a bamboo, and gained a lot of people and materials.

Seeing that it was about to be the first month, although Tuoba Tao was a Xianbei person, he attached great importance to the Hanchen in the court, so he ordered his subordinates to continue to garrison and lead the Su Guard army back to Pingcheng to prepare for the New Year.

This crusade against the Xia Kingdom can be described as a succession of victories, and it is a matter of time before Tongwan City is captured, and a large amount of loot has been brought back, Tuoba Tao is happy in his heart, so he wants to reward the generals and courtiers of the Korean army for a year of hard work.

Tuoba Tao returned to the court, as soon as he entered the city, he received a summons from the Empress Dowager Dou, saying that Mrs. He was going to give birth, he had been a vegetarian for a long time, and he did not kill much, and even attacked Tongwan City without hurting many lives, it was precisely so that this child could not be stillborn like his other brothers, or die early, at this time, it really worked, the child gave birth safely, and even the clothes and armor were not changed, and the servants rushed into the harem.

Tuoba Tao kept watch from midnight to dawn, and Mrs. He's child croaked to the ground, crying loudly, with thick hair, and was a sturdy boy at first sight. Tuoba Tao was overjoyed, personally watched him scrub and change clothes, and after he fell asleep, he went to bathe and change clothes, and hugged his son until the afternoon, before he reluctantly went back to deal with military and political affairs.

On the second day, when the army of Xia came to the west, Chang'an City had been captured, and the king of Liang learned the news of the defeat of Xia, fearing the strength of Wei, and sent envoys to Pingcheng to express his submission to Great Wei.

The birth of the prince and the rise of the sun are auspicious signs.

On the second day, Chang'an City, which had an important position in the minds of the Han people, and even Chang'an City, which was higher than the Tongwan City, was taken, and the Han ministers in the court were all overjoyed.

A Chang'an, a Luoyang, is almost the symbol of "Zhengshuo". They did not go south, but became officials in the court of the North Korean people, and what they wanted most was proof of "orthodoxy". In order to recapture the two royal capitals of "Luoyang" and "Chang'an", the Hanchen in the entire court almost spared no effort, and the national strength of Wei was able to become strong to this point in a few decades, most of which was due to their painstaking management and weighing the power of all parties.

The submission of the Liang State means that within a few years, the invincible state in the Yellow River Valley can shake the status of the Wei State, which is even more joyful.

Then the good news of Lian San was sent to Pingcheng after the birth of this child, and Tuoba Tao felt that this newborn child was a blessed person, and gave the name "Huang", which meant "bright sunshine", which was an excellent Chinese name.

Originally, Tuoba Tao was ready to directly establish Tuoba Huang as the crown prince, but Cui Hao, who learned the news and entered the palace, persuaded him:

"The position of the crown prince is extremely noble, and when the prince grows up a little more, his body is strong enough to withstand such blessings, and it is not too late to stand up."

Tuoba Tao had died three or four children before, and although he would be suspicious after listening to Cui Hao's words, for the safety of the children, he would rather believe that he had something or not, so he dispelled this idea, and prepared to wait for him to reach the age of one, if his body has been so strong, and then set up his prince.

Poor Mrs. He, who had just given birth to a prince in the palace, heard her henchman say that Tuoba Tao did not make her son the crown prince, and she didn't know whether to be grateful to Cui Hao or hate Cui Hao.

As soon as Cui Hao said this, it added countless benefits to him.

Now that the Xia Kingdom has not been destroyed, the Xianbei nobles in the harem of the Great Wei Dynasty are still dominant, if Mrs. He's son is a prince, there will be nothing to do with these Xianbei nobles, at least in the prince. [,！ Before you die, don't think about the position of the prince.

After so many years, the palace concubines are either childless, or they give birth to children early and live less than the full moon, and the harem concubines have all regarded pregnancy as a flood beast, seeing that Mrs. He gave birth to a child safely and smoothly, most of the Xianbei ladies thought that the calamity had left the harem, and it was only a matter of time before they had children, so they prayed privately to thank God for his kindness.

As soon as Cui Hao, who made an admonition in this situation, returned home from the palace, the Xianbei nobles who had almost become enemies with him before sent their families to send "New Year's gifts" to congratulate the New Year.

This made Cui Hao even more impressed by Kou Qianzhi's truth.

Although he felt that Tuoba Huang didn't look like he would die early, Kou Qianzhi's words were not unreasonable, Cui Hao's persuasion was not for his own benefit, but for the little prince, so he was justified and did not have any intention of being weak.

Cui Hao generously accepted the gift, and also sent his family to return the gift, the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, Cui Hao expressed his gratitude, it can be said that the two parties are harmonious, although they did not really move around, but it can be regarded as a release of the previous suspicion.

Cui Hao was forced by many Xianbei nobles to go home, naturally he already knew that the Xianbei nobles were powerful in the court at this time, and the Hanchen were all led by the Qinghe Cui clan and the Fanyang Lu clan, Cui Hao was suppressed after the Cui clan and the Lu clan, and the Hanchen in the court was very silent for a while.

Now that the Hanchen know that these Xianbei people are not all fools with muscles in their heads, they have no choice but to slowly plan the reform of the Han system and wait for the opportunity.

After all, Cui Hao is a high-ranking celebrity, reading the scriptures and history, Xuanxiang Yin and Yang, the words of a hundred schools, all involved, intensive study of the scriptures, the people of the time did not catch up with him, although there are ambiguities in politics, but most of the Xianbei people are willing to befriend him.

Now that the Xia State has been half in the hands of the Great Wei, after the Xia State was destroyed, a large area of the country had to be operated again, and the population of the Xia State poured into the Wei State in large numbers, and the Xianbei courtiers were busy with a lot of money.

Xianbei people are not good at governing the country, if according to the ideas of the Xianbei nobles, so many people are directly turned into slaves, and it is best to go to work and farm, but clothing, food, housing and transportation must be considered, this is not their strength, and they have to go to ask the Hanchen for advice and ask for help.

It's just that the Hanchens wanted to revive the "Wei, Jin and Han systems" last year, but they were forced by the Xianbei nobles to almost resign, which made them angry, so the Hanchens deliberately slackened their work, and Tuoba Tao also deliberately indulged, and finally could only force the Xianbei people to take a step back.

Now that Hanchen has gained face, and there are a large number of new positions brought by Tuoba Tao's summer expedition to their sons, nephews, and relatives, these Hanchen are very satisfied. And the Xianbei people got the lining, got the military merits, both parties were happy, and the good honey was oiled, thinking about it, Cui Hao returned to the court in the coming year, but it was also a matter of finding an opportunity.

Just when the heat in Beijing was hot and the severe cold on the political zhì finally gradually receded, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Beijing received good news again.

The Gaoche tribe, who had been bullied by Rouran for a long time, led their people south to defect to the Great Wei, and now they have been welcomed to the territory of the Great Wei by Tuobati, the king of Yingchuan, and are stationed in the camp of Montenegro.

Good news came out one after another, and even in Beijing, it began to spread that "Tuoba Huang" was a person favored by God.

In addition, Tuoba Huang was born to be extremely well-behaved, and he was even more loved by Tuoba Tao, this workaholic actually went to the harem four or five times a day, just to see this son.

With the good news that the Gaoche people belonged to the palace, there were also letters from the Egret Officer and others to send the army into Beijing.

Tuoba Tao, who was not going to go to the camp in Montenegro to watch the big competition of the three armies, was like a sinking water after reading Su Hejun's letter, and after discussing with the Empress Dowager Dou for a night, he ordered Cui Hao and Honglu Temple and others to enter the palace to meet him.

As soon as Liang Guo was attached, Gao Che returned, and Cui Hao immediately knew that the opportunity he was waiting for had been sent to him.

Tuoba Tao wanted to take advantage of the great competition between the three armies to personally lead the army to Gaoche to meet the patriarch of the Gaoche tribe to show his attention to the return of his subordinates.

And Cui Hao is proficient in Xianbei language, Chinese, Xiongnu, Tocharian and other Hu languages, and is a natural genius, Tuoba Tao reinstated his official position, and took Taichang's body as the "high car envoy", leading the officials of Honglu Temple in Beijing to take the first step, and went to the camp of Montenegro to accept the vassalage of the high car tribe, and Kou Qianzhi also went.

This Tuoba Tao has just returned to the court, and he is going to take the Su Guard Army and the Yulin Army out of Beijing, and a good year in Beijing is a war and chaos, and many people who know that the next step in the destruction of the Xia Kingdom is to recruit Rouran, and immediately try their best to send their children and nephews into the Yulin Army or the Su Guard Army, wanting to take advantage of this to get a piece of the pie in the northern expedition in the coming year.

In their eyes, Rouran is much easier to fight than Xia Guo, but it is just a group of uncivilized and stupid-headed worms, Mo said that the emperor will definitely lead the elite to conquer in person, that is, the 60,000 horses of the Black Mountain battalion, and they will be trampled on them.

Poor Tuoba Huang has just been favored for a short time, and he didn't even wait for the full moon, so Tuoba Tao led the army out of Beijing again.

Tuoba Tao went out of Beijing and issued a decree to let Mrs. He personally raise the prince and not leave without permission, and the Empress Dowager Dou temporarily managed the harem.

Empress Dowager Dou knew that Tuoba Tao was for Tuoba Huang's safety, so she simply arranged Mrs. He and the little prince into her palace, envying Mrs. Gan in the harem.

Montenegro camp

"Huh? Su Hejun is gone? Where did it go?"

When He Mullan heard the words of the attendant, he was amazed.

"The military tent called him back personally. You only have military slaves and no entourage now, I was going to arrange one for you, but the general said that there was going to be a big competition soon, so I didn't have to arrange it for you, so I came to greet you, not because I intended to make it difficult.".

[,！ The red-clothed attendant still looked like the flower of Kaolin, and after passing the word, he walked away.

Only Hermulans and peanuts were left staring at each other.
