It was the sixteenth year of Dayou, and the banking reform led by Cui Wenqing had lasted for five years.

In the past five years, Daqi Bank has relied on savings and loans as its main business, unswervingly implemented the issuance and circulation of paper money, and persistently supported key infrastructure projects.

More importantly, the Daqi Bank has invested heavily in the reform of the armed forces.

For example, the government military system was changed to a conscription system, and the traditional government soldiers, who were half peasants and half soldiers, were completely transformed into professional soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers of Daqi was greatly improved.

At the same time, the bank has set up a special weapons research and development organization, vigorously developed firearms and put them into use, and new weapons such as artillery and rockets have emerged one after another, further enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army.

In the fifteenth year of Dayou, Daqi led 50,000 troops led by Zhe Zhao, the governor of Zhenwu Army, as the right route army, 50,000 troops led by Chong Shiheng, the envoy of Guanzhong, and Yang Wenguang, the privy envoy, led 100,000 troops to crusade against Western Xia for the Chinese army, and 200,000 troops to conquer Western Xia.

During the battle, the Great Qi army played a triumphant song and successively broke through many cities in the Western Xia, forcing the Queen Regent of the Western Xia to hide the black clouds and claim to be a minister, and the Western Xia could no longer compete with the Great Qi from then on.

However, it is a pity that in the return of the Great Qi army to the court, the commander Yang Wenguang died of illness in the army, this famous general who has repeatedly made military exploits since the founding of the country, completed his glorious life, and died in his favorite military camp.

In view of this situation, the Emperor of Great Qi judged the situation and appointed Zhe Zhao, the governor of Zhenwu Army, as the new privy envoy of the imperial court, to take charge of the military power of the country.

It is rare for a woman to be an official in ancient times, not to mention serving as an official like a privy envoy, the court and the countryside naturally have a lot of criticism, especially Xie Junhao, the privy deputy envoy who thought that the privy envoy was in his pocket, was even more jealous and conspired to frame him many times.

It's a pity that now that Empress Dowager Xie has passed away, Chen Hongye has mastered the power of the country, and with the assistance of two heroic ministers such as Cui Wenqing and Su Shi, there is no need to tolerate King Qi and his party.

An edict was immediately issued to dismiss Chen Xuan, the king of Qi, and Xie Junhao from all official positions, and the two disappeared from the political arena of Great Qi from then on.

After the internal troubles subsided, Chen Hong's eyes were set on the sixteen states of Yanyun, his homeland, and it was the sworn enemy of Daqi that was entrenched there, the Liao State.

After a year of preparation, Chen Hong took the privy envoy Zhe Zhao as the statistical commander, and under the jurisdiction of the five-way economic envoy, he officially drove the personal conquest of the Liao State.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are the homeland of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also an important preface position of the Central Plains against the Hu people in the north.

It can be seen that in the homeland of Yan Zhao, the red Daqi soldiers held the flag and speared and fought fiercely with the Liao flying horses, staging the peak duel between the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains and the nomadic civilization of the north.

The battle lasted for three months, and the Liao State, which was as strong as Liao, had to retreat in front of the wolf-like and sacrificing Qi army.

After more than 200,000 casualties, the Great Qi reoccupied the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, while the Liao State retreated to the shore of Heishui, and since then it has been in a state of collapse and can no longer pose much threat to the Central Plains.

At this point, with Chen Hong's consent, the class teacher returned to Luoyang, which had been absent for a long time.

Today, in order to welcome the triumphant army, Luoyang City is already full of lights.

In particular, the Privy Envoy Zhefu was congested by thousands of people, and everyone hoped to be able to witness the demeanor of the Privy Envoy Zhe Zhao and see what kind of heroine among women had actually completed the great cause that generations of men had not been able to complete.

In the mansion, Cui Wenqing stood on the pavilion and looked at the dark crowd around him, and couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile: "My lady is really powerful, even the door of the mansion has been blocked, heh, I want to see how she returns to the house today." ”

By his side, Sima Wei had changed into a young woman's outfit, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't be rich.

After marrying Cui Wenqing a year ago, Sima Wei lived a simple life, and at this time she was already pregnant with a bulge in her lower abdomen.

After listening to Cui Wenqing's complaints, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Husband, it is a great fortune for the family to worship the prime minister, and now you are in charge of the national economy as the president of the Daqi Bank, and soon after you will take over Han Qi's position as the third envoy to become the prime minister, and Sister Zhao is the governor and privy envoy of the Zhenwu Army, and the seven prime ministers of Daqi occupy two of our mansions, and who is the one in the mansion under the autumn!" ”

"Wrong, wrong, it's Cui Mansion!" Cui Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "The Sprinkle family is about to become the prime minister, how can you still be the son-in-law?" Since I should change the court and establish a husband's outline, let the world know that Zhezhao is my wife, not my husband. ”

Hearing this, Sima Wei glanced at Cui Wenqing, touched his chest between his fingers, and chuckled: "It's just you, don't you dare?" ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, but it was Lotus Ye who walked in with a little boy about five years old.

The little boy was born with bright eyes and bright teeth, eccentric, and there were quite a shadow of Zhao and Cui Wenqing between his eyebrows, and it was the eldest son of the two who was Zhenxuan.

Seeing Cui Wenqing, Lotus Ye said with a frown: "Son, second lady, young master, he is fighting in the school again today." ”

"Huh? Beaten again? Seeing that Cui Wenqing's face was wrong, Sima Wei immediately automatically turned the beater into the beaten, stepped forward and pulled Zhi Xuan to look left and right, and asked with concern, "Xuan'er, where is the injury?" ”

Zhi Xuan sniffed, and his little face was full of pride: "Second aunt, those gentlemen in the school bully others all day long, I have endured them for a long time, and today I finally seized the opportunity to beat them, but I am happy, my classmates treat you as a big hero." ”

Cui Wenqing stood with his hands in his hands, and said with a cold face: "According to what you say, should Daddy still reward you?" ”

Zhi Xuan blinked his eyes and said: "I should be rewarded, my mother said, our men are all martial artists, and if you want to do it, you will be a big hero!" ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was immediately angry, and scolded repeatedly: "You kid, you are really stubborn, this Ah Zhao didn't teach you well before, so I knew that you would fight and fight, and I would not serve you today!" ”

Hearing the family law serving, Zhi Xuan's face suddenly changed, and when he just wanted to turn around and escape, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking downstairs, and couldn't help but call in surprise: "Mother! ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned, and a heroic female general had already appeared in sight.

A scarlet cloak covered with a thin and soft silver phoenix soft armor, without a helmet, with a heroic bun full of masculinity on his head, long eyebrows into the temples, phoenix eyes like stars, a high nose, red lips, delicate water hibiscus like stunning and gorgeous, the majesty of the people dare not look at it, it is the Great Qi Privy Envoy, the Governor of the Zhenwu Army.

I saw her raise her head, with a smile on her face that made people feel like a spring breeze, but she blamed her: "Cui Wenqing, do you want to bully my family Xuan'er when I am not there?" ”

The nightingale's crying girl was in her ears, Cui Wenqing looked at her blankly, but she also saw that Zhe Zhaomei's eyes flashed with tears, recalling the scene of the first encounter, and in an instant, the future and the past came to their hearts, and both of them couldn't help but be stupid.
