In November of the first year of Yuanjia, Emperor Qin Fei of Yuanjia returned to Jinling, the capital with his mother-in-law, Empress Shen, his wife, Empress Zhou, and a group of civil and military officials, and left the entire Dali Palace to his mother-in-law, Concubine Jin, so that her old man lived in it to recuperate, although the illness of the concubine Niangniang was mostly not cured, because she was mad.

Since the Shen family was respected as the queen mother, the Jin family only got the name of a concubine, how willing she was. She didn't dare to go to her son to theorize, seeing that Tian'er wanted to rush to the palace courtyard of the Empress Dowager Shen to find her trouble, although the palace people tried every possible way to stop her, but the concubine Niangniang was going to die or live to sprinkle it, and they couldn't stop it, and watched her rush to the palace courtyard of the Empress Dowager Shen to scold the street.

The Shen family was at a disadvantage before, and they were not afraid of her when they were in a worrying situation, but now how could they put her in their eyes and kill her in seconds with a single sentence. In fact, the Empress Dowager Shen didn't want to tell her the truth, but she couldn't stand her perseverance to make a fuss, so in order to get a quiet ear, she had to tell her the truth about the exchange of the son born to the two of her.

Qin Fei left Dali, and went to see her one last time, and told the palace people to take care of her, for this named mother, that is, he had an attachment to her when he was a child, and later he was already ignored by her. She has never given him warmth and maternal love, and the only thing he can repay to this adoptive mother now is to let her spend the rest of her life in this Dali Palace.

His Majesty's imperial drive arrived in Jinling on the 15th. After entering the city, Emperor Yuan Jia sent the Empress Dowager Shen and the Empress Zhou to the newly repaired palace gate, and he himself passed through the gate without entering, and directly turned the head of the car and ran out of the south gate and went to the battlefield of Yanziji in person.

Because the Tartar Emperor was also a shrewd and capable person, as soon as he learned that Emperor Yan Qin was going to return to Jinling, he knew that Yan Qin wanted to defend and attack, so he quickly sent his fifth son to personally lead an army of 100,000 to the south, wanting to force the Yangtze River and take Jinling again. As for the peace negotiation he took the initiative to propose to Yan Qin before, it was a suspicious plan to paralyze Yan Qin, seeing that Emperor Yuanjia was not fooled by him, he was too lazy to pretend at the moment, and sent troops south again, wanting to strike first.

Qin Fei was busy with the affairs of various battle formations on the front line, and the rest of the government affairs were all handed over to her to take care of as Cai Wei had expected. Qin Fei was afraid of being tired of her at the beginning, but after seeing her take care of political affairs for a few days, she became more and more radiant and radiant, and she was overjoyed and handed over all the matters to her.

With his husband and wife working side by side, Qin Fei no longer has to spend more time on various government affairs, and uses all his energy to strategize and dispatch troops, and it is unspeakably miserable to toss the golden people.

Although the Tartar commander Shuo Sai is the son of his lord, he does not have the wisdom and shrewdness of his old son, and I think that the Tartar emperor Dolgon also knows this, and specially sent two famous Han generals who have descended to the Jin Kingdom to be his lieutenants.

One of these two people is Hong Hengjiu and the other is Fan Wencheng. That Fan Wencheng was originally a native of Shenyang, who had been admitted to Yan Qin's Xiucai, and after the land of Liaodong was occupied by the Jin people, he took the initiative to ask to see Nuhachi, the great Khan of the Jin people at that time, and was willing to serve him as a horse of dogs and horses, because he was good at strategy and martial arts, and was loyal to the Jin people, and was the most respected person among the Han courtiers who descended to the Jin people. Not only did he give advice to the gold lord, defeated the army led by the famous Confucian general Hong Hengjiu of Yan and Qin in Liaodong, and captured him alive, but also used his three-inch incorruptible tongue to move Hong Hengjiu, who originally wanted to keep the festival for Daqin, so that he turned to reduce gold, and worked hard for the Jin people, and in turn attacked his mother country, and made countless military achievements.

So that although Dolgon is a broad-minded person, seeing that he has won many battles and conquered everything, he does not dare to ask the two of them to continue to lead the army to fight, for fear that if the two of them continue to win all the way like this, not only will the limelight overshadow their golden generals, it seems that they are too useless, and their future merits are too high, and it is not easy to reward them, so they will not be named princes with different surnames, right? Anyway, at that time, their Jin people were all the way like a bamboo, and Yan and Qin were defeated and retreated, so Dolgon transferred the two of them back to Yanjing to do civilian jobs, and handed over the rest of the war to their Jin generals to fight and make meritorious contributions.

How do you know that when Yan Qin saw that his qi was exhausted, a Linchuan king Qin Fei who could fight suddenly appeared, turned the tide, and won several battles in a row, not only blocking the momentum of their Jin people's rapid advance, but after ascending to the throne, no one in the country could pull him back, he did not indulge in pleasure like the previous Han emperors, and indulged in the gentle township, but worked hard and diligent in political affairs, thinking that the country would be rich and strong, and half of the country occupied by their Dajin would be recaptured.

This made Dolgon feel at ease, not only sent his son as the commander, but also assigned them to the two courtiers who were the most proficient at fighting in Dajin, when the army went south, Dolgon specially mentioned orders to the three of them, ordering them to go south this time to break through the Yangtze River defense of Yan Qin, and recapture Jinling and the land south of the Yangtze River, otherwise, if Emperor Yuanjia gained a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, the abundance and wealth of the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River alone was enough for Yan Qin to enrich the treasury and increase national strength. At that time, they want to take all the splendid rivers and mountains of China as their own, but it will be even more difficult to do.

It's just that although the three people he sent out are powerful, it's a pity that the opponent they have to face is Qin Fei, this is a small game that doesn't follow the card, never takes the usual path, and likes the master of the sword to go sideways, although Fan and Hong are the same military books as him, but when the two armies are facing each other, the two of them have learned the art of war in their minds, and they still can't figure it out and can't guess the way of using troops of Emperor Yuan Jia.

Although Sun Tzu and his old man said a long time ago, "Soldiers, treacherous ways", but they never thought that there could be people in this world who used soldiers to such a point, and they always came to yin with them, and they were also yin and accurate, which made their hearts extremely congested. After several battles of wits and courage, except for a few small victories at the beginning, they were defeated again and again later. Not only did the Yangtze River not be attacked, but Emperor Yuan Jia also beat them across the Yangtze River, driving them out of the whole territory of Anhui all the way before they stopped.

At this time, it was already August of the second year of Yuanjia, and Qin Fei didn't even bother to go back to Jinling for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and spent several months of effort to personally rectify the defense in the four towns of Anhui and Jiangbei, and arranged it as solid as gold. It was not until the Chinese New Year's Eve of the third year of Yuanjia that he rushed back to Jinling to reunite with his family.

After the New Year, Emperor Yuanjia finally agreed to the invitation of the ministers and held his enthronement ceremony. This was originally a matter that the ministers had been looking forward to for three years, and the new emperor's accession to the throne had to be held within a month after the death of the first emperor at the latest, but this majesty was good, and let them talk bitterly and ask for the excerpts to be presented like snowflakes, he completely ignored it, "delay" is just one word, this year will be delayed next year, next year will be delayed, and a delay will be three years.

They kept folding, that was only urging Emperor Yuan Jia to hurry up to the enthronement ceremony, but they didn't mention the post-enthronement ceremony at all, and besides, hasn't this post-canon always been after the enthronement ceremony? But Emperor Xià, why did you insist on putting these two ceremonies together and merging them into one? Sure enough, for this majesty, it is completely impossible to speculate with common sense, and from time to time he will be opened by his various unconventional and arbitrary actions, and all the ministers feel so tired of being such an unconventional master.

A group of courtiers helplessly, extremely sleepy to look at their wise and martial emperor Xià throughout the ceremony always held the hand of the queen mother, the two of them sacrificed heaven and earth together, told the society, the queen mother personally for Emperor Yuanjia to change the crown, the emperor Majesty Xià personally put on the phoenix crown for her. The emperor and queen ascended to the nine-layer Dan Majesty hand in hand, and sat on the throne, accepting the three kneeling and nine knocks of the ministers, and the mountain shouted long live.

Qin Fei sat on top of His Majesty Dan and casually glanced at the courtiers who came down the mountain to shout long live, he knew that these ministers were unhappy in their hearts, but he didn't bother to care about their thoughts at this time. After the fall of the Sun party and the Cui Xiang party one after another, he gave the court a big change of blood and appointed a group of virtuous and capable people, but these virtuous ministers and capable ministers, although they are both talented and loyal, dedicated to the country and diligent, but there is a little bit of a bad thing, all of them are old-fashioned and dead-headed, blindly holding the rules and etiquette set by their ancestors, and they have long been quite dissatisfied with him letting the queen help him take care of state affairs. That's why he wanted to combine the two canons after the enthronement and the book into one, just to show these courtiers below, so that they could know the weight of Caiwei, the queen, in his heart. This move is not only to confess his love to his beloved wife, but also to pave the way for her to sit alone in the court in the future.

He had already discussed with Cai Wei, he couldn't always wait for the Tartars to come and then fight back, so it would be a bit passive after all, only offense was the best defense. But if Anhui and other places go north to attack Yanjing, it will be unfavorable to them in terms of terrain, so Qin Fei plans to wait until the beginning of spring to go to Sichuan, enter Shaanxi from Sichuan, first take Chang'an back, and then fight all the way from the northwest to the east, but also want to lead the main forces of the Tartars to the northwest, so that Jiangnan and other places can stay away from the fire, recuperate, vigorously develop cultivation and silk weaving to enrich the treasury, once the national strength is strong, see the immortal Tartar barbarians.

It's just that if he goes to Shu to lead the army to fight, all the affairs of the court will naturally be entrusted to one person to handle for him, and he will naturally be relieved to hand it over to Ah Wei. In terms of intimacy, is there anyone closer to him than Ah Wei in this world? Not only his beloved, but also his dearest; In terms of talent, his Ah Wei is far better than those capable ministers and corrupt Confucians in the court. The only thing that made him a little relieved was that this group of courtiers would disobey her, so he wanted to use the two major ceremonies held to make them understand that the queen's dignity, the same body as the emperor, should respect the queen as if he were respected.

Qin Fei glanced at the bottom casually, and then fixed his eyes on his wife beside him, thinking that Cai Wei was particularly good-looking today. He looked at the brilliant phoenix crown on her head, and couldn't help but lean into her ear and whispered: "This phoenix crown can be very heavy, you have worn it for a long time, is your neck tired?" Do you want me to rub it for you? ”

As he spoke, the dragon claw had already stretched out, and Cai Wei didn't stop him, only gave him an affectionate look, and enjoyed the courteous service of His Majesty the Emperor peacefully. She knew that Qin Fei made such a show in order to give her a long face for the queen mother, lest she be ignored by the ministers when she hung the curtain to listen to the government in a few days, and her husband had this heart, she was naturally overjoyed, and while smiling happily, she also reciprocated the favor, and had a good time with His Majesty the Emperor that night.

Poor Qin Fei has not been able to return to the peach blossom paradise in the gentle township since Lin De celebrated Cai Wei's birthday in the twenty-fifth year of his life, and for various reasons, he has not been able to return to the peach blossom paradise in the gentle township to relive the ** taste of wanting to die and ascending to bliss. It was easy to endure for three or four years, and finally went to Sendai again, but it didn't take a few days, so he had to put state affairs first, and he was reluctant to say goodbye to his beloved wife and mother, put on his battle armor again, and led the army into Sichuan, intending to send all his evil fire to Tartar.

Only by destroying the Tartar early, he can go to his wife and children with peace of mind and worry about the small days at home, if Cai Wei really can't give birth in the future, she has adopted so many children in the An Nutang, it's a big deal to pick a few good ones from the inside to take them into the palace and raise them under the knees. His Majesty the Emperor thought about it, and thought of this distant future.

This Qin Fei went on the road to the west with a full of sorrow, thinking about Cai Wei's various voices and smiles all the way, the more he thought about it, the more reluctant he became, and he couldn't wait to turn the horse's head and run back to Jinling again.

However, even though his heart was like an arrow, he still led the sergeant behind him without looking back and continued to walk firmly to the west. Even he himself could not have imagined that one day he would be able to do this, he once felt that half a step away from her, not for a moment was the most difficult torture in the world, but now in order to shoulder his heavy responsibility as a monarch to protect his family and defend the country, he let this torture be added, step by step away from her more and more farther away.

Because he knew that after all kinds of parting changes, the two of them were separated from each other at the ends of the world, but their hearts were always in one place, tightly together, and there was never a moment of separation.

And Cai Wei, who stayed in Jinling, was also extremely uncomfortable. The previous separations of their husband and wife were all forced by the shape and forced to do so, but this time it was the two of them who took the initiative to make the choice of the husband and wife for the time being, just to drive away the enemy as soon as possible, and return the people of Daqin to a peaceful world and a peaceful time. Although she was sad, she didn't have the extra effort to immerse herself in the sorrow and farewell, because the mess of government and politics that Qin Fei left her was also full of confusion and waste, but a few days after Qin Fei left, the ministers began to make a fuss.

On this day, Cai Wei listened to the government, sat behind the curtain, and saw that there were only five or six people standing at the bottom, which was more than half less than the day before. Without waiting for her to ask, a Wupinlang from the household department whispered: "Queen Qiyu, Zhang Shangshu of the household department occasionally felt cold yesterday, couldn't get up, couldn't come to the court, and took a few days off......

Another petty official also said: "And Zhao Shangshu of our Ministry of Industry, who is also sick at home, ordered the minister to take a leave of absence with the queen mother for him......"

Cai Wei didn't have anything on her face, and the oranges standing behind her frowned first, and she was anxious for her girl. The day before the court, when the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites took the lead in saying that they couldn't afford to take leave, and yesterday the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War also pretended to be sick and took leave.

A few of them were so angry in their hearts, but Cai Wei still asked a few words like no one else, and saw that they didn't have anything important to start, so they said a retreat, and led Xiangcheng back to the Qinzheng Palace, where she had been dealing with political affairs, and went to review the folds.

Basho saw that his girl was still so calm and light when she came out of the court, and couldn't help but ask while studying ink for her: "Girl, there has been no wind or rain these days, the wind is beautiful, why did so many people fall ill all of a sudden, and they all feel cold?" They are pretending to be sick and deliberately huddle together and not come to the court! ”

Cai Wei kept writing, only a faint "um". Seeing that her face was so calm, Xiangcheng couldn't help but say: "Girl, if you are annoyed in your heart, don't hold it in your heart, this sulking is the most hurtful, and when His Majesty was leaving, he repeatedly told us seventeen or eighteen times, asking us to take care of your body for him, and don't tire you." ”

Although her own girl is now the queen's mother, and the emperor hates them the most if they don't call "Niangniang" and have to call "girl", but Xiangcheng still likes to use "girl" to call Cai Wei when Qin Fei is not around. Cai Wei also likes to be called by them, and the master and servant feel that there is such a different kind of intimacy and warmth in this old title.

Loquat served Cai Wei the freshly brewed longan wolfberry tea, and also interjected: "That's it, Your Majesty also wrote a holy decree, if we didn't take good care of you when he wasn't by your side, let you have a little illness, rub a little skin on your hands or something, and when he comes back, he will beat us up." So, girl, no matter what happens, don't be unhappy and sullen. ”

These maids are here to comfort their own girls, but they heard a person outside the door laughing: "But such a trivial matter, where is it worth your girl to be angry, but you are in a hurry one by one, the queen is not in a hurry!" ”

Xiangcheng hurriedly turned his head to take a look, and saw that it was Miss Zou Jia, a friend of his own girl, and Miss Wu Juan of the Wu family.

It turned out that Zou Qing and a few others had already become Caiwei's female officials at this time, and the Geng sisters and Ma Li ran outside the palace almost every day because they were busy with the affairs of the Jian'an Women's Hall and the Academy. Only Zou Qing, because the work assigned to her is more to deal with paper and pencil, and she does not need to run around, so she often comes to this Qinzheng Palace to accompany Cai Wei, one to criticize and the other to write articles. After Wu Juan knew what they were going to do, she also volunteered to help, she knew that her talent was limited, so she transcribed the manuscript for Zou Qing.

Seeing that it was the two of them coming, Cai Wei put down her pen and smiled: "I still think I am a broad-hearted, I can't imagine that Sister Zou is even more lenient than me, isn't my sister worried about me at all?" ”

"What do you have to worry about, when we talked in the past, the Geng sisters could calculate the next five or six moves, I could calculate seven or eight moves at most, and you can calculate more than a dozen moves, the most long-term is the most far-sighted, I don't believe that this situation is not expected by you now, I'm afraid that you have even thought about the countermeasures?" Zou Qing remembered that she had never won a lifelong hatred when she talked to Cai Wei, and she said angrily.

I heard Cai Wei pretend to sigh and said, "Alas! Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, Sister Zou! As Zou Qing said, the current situation was something she had long expected.

Those courtiers were extremely dissatisfied with her as early as Qin Fei's sole favor of Cai Wei, and when they discussed the government with her, they felt that she was the kind of disaster that confuses the king with beauty, but no matter how hard they admonished, Emperor Yuanjia ignored them, and still spoiled the queen to the sky.

Even after he led the army to the west, he actually handed over all the major affairs of the country to this woman to take care of, which simply made the courtiers angry. It was actually handed over to a woman, if this woman was the Empress Dowager Shen, the mother of the emperor's majesty, they would also admit it, who made the family the emperor's mother! But how can you, an imperial wife who didn't even have a son born for the emperor, have the qualifications to sit in the court and criticize them, the ministers of civil and military affairs?

It's a pity that no matter how much they objected, Emperor Yuan Jia was unmoved, and ordered them to serve the queen like a servant, and even the Empress Dowager Shen sent a message, saying that she was old and sick, and she was unable to take care of political affairs, and strongly recommended her daughter-in-law, Queen Zhou, to listen to the government on her behalf.

What else can the ministers say at this time, although they dare to speak out against it, but they also move their mouths and pens, and they don't dare to really make any outrageous moves, because Emperor Yuanjia is a master who is not easy to mess with. If you dare to go out of line with him today, he will come to you even more out of line tomorrow, and in this matter, the ministers asked themselves, they have more than 100 people together, but I am afraid that they are not the opponents of this majesty.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, they could only endure it for a while, and when Emperor Yuanjia went far, they said that they were sick one after another, and they directly picked on their sons. They want to see how this talented queen will take care of state affairs if there is no one in the court to work for her.

And the queen's mother's evaluation of their move was only one sentence: "These ministers are also old, how can they still look like children, it's really naïve!" ”
