After a night of heavy snow the night before, the sky has been clear since yesterday.

Although the weather has warmed up, the snow on the land around Guanxiangtun has not yet melted, and from a distance, the land is covered in silver.

This snow, it fell relatively thickly. As the weather gets colder and colder, the snow will remain and accumulate thicker and thicker until the beginning of spring next year, when it will gradually melt.

Jia Min, Tamara, Miaoyu, Liu Cheng, Dai Zhi and others were waiting outside Guanxiangtun Village, and the people they were waiting for were naturally Beijing Wang Shui Rong and Ji Daxue.

Jia Min didn't have much contact with King Beijing, and the only time he spent a long time together was when he went to the palace to participate in a thousand-person banquet that year.

Thinking of that thousand-person banquet, Jia Min couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It was at that time that he briefly met his sister Jia Yuanchun in the palace. Since then, even Jiafu has built a provincial courtyard and a grand view garden, and my sister has returned to my hometown to save my family, but Jia Min is not at home, and she missed the opportunity to meet with her sister.

Among the four major families of Jia Wang Xue Shi, Jia Min respects his sister Jia Yuanchun and uncle Wang Ziteng the most.

Not only because of the status of the two, but also because both of them are more decent and fair. There is also a major reason, that is, both of them have made great sacrifices for the sake of their families.

It is precisely because of the influence and inspiration of the two of them that Jia Min's attitude towards Jia Fu and others has gradually changed.

From participating in the house fight in the past, to working alone in Beihai later, behind this, there is actually an invisible thing driving him, that is, responsibility.

This sense of responsibility, to put it mildly, is to make yourself feel at ease and take on the responsibilities of the family. The bigger one is a responsibility to the people who have been following him in the first place.

These people include Ping'er, Miaoyu, Qingwen, Shen Bingyi, Fenghua, Xueyue, Jiao Li, Ning'er, Nan'er, Liu Cheng, Dai Zhi, Fang Xiucai, Cong Xiucai, Yang Lin, etc., and of course, Feng Ziying and other people from the government corps.

Now, to these responsibilities, those people in the North Sea, that land, have been added.

Scholar Ji is a person that Jia Min has always respected.

It was he who rented Yedu Ju to Jia Min in the first place, which gave Jia Min a foothold.

In fact, Jia Min also started from Yedu Ju and came to this day step by step.

Dai Quan has always been Jia Min's friend. Even when Dai Quan was powerful and Jia Min was suppressed by Yuanheng Tianzi, the relationship between the two has always been good.

Therefore, Jia Min was very happy to get the news that several of them were coming today.

This is also the main reason why he personally came out to greet the village.

Of course, the arrival of these people has a more far-reaching significance. That's something politically significant. It's just that outside of Jia Min, ordinary people haven't realized this.

Therefore, if we only regard the arrival of these people as a few people who have fallen into distress, it will be a little too short-sighted.

In the distance, a procession appeared. That is the troops of Chang'an and Chen Yeqing's Third Brigade.

Two horses galloped, leaving the large army behind.

After a while, the two rode to the head of the village. Immediately turned over two people, it was Liu Fushan and Nan'er.

"Chief Min, Liu Fushan is here to report."

Liu Fushan tidied up his clothes and gave a military salute very seriously. As soon as he finished speaking, tears flowed out.

"Fourth master, Nan'er is also here, this time I came back, I followed the fourth master, and never left again."

Nan'er said, about to kneel down and kowtow.

Jia Min hurriedly held on and stopped Nan'er.

"Okay, don't kowtow. Okay, okay, it's good that Nan'er is here, I've been thinking about you all along. ”

Nan'er belongs to the earliest people to follow Jia Min, and is in the same period as Jiao Li and Ping'er, and belongs to Jia Min's earliest team. When I started my business, I made great contributions.

Jia Min has deep feelings for Nan'er, Ning'er and others.

"Where's Sister Ping'er?"

"She, Fenghua, Xueyue, and Ning'er are all in Beihai and didn't come here. Your eldest brother Jiao is on business in Goryeo, and when you come back in a few days, you will be able to meet him. Let's go meet Brother Liu Cheng. ”

"Nan'er, why is there only Chief Min in your eyes, and you have forgotten me?"

"Brother Liu, I naturally won't forget you."

Nan'er chatted with Liu Cheng.

At this time, Jia Min had the strength to pay attention to Liu Fushan.

"Liu Fushan, didn't you say that you stayed with the Fourth Brigade?"

"Hehe, Chief Min, I'm sorry, but after thinking about it, I'm still here."

"Okay, come on. Zhang Decai: Are they okay? ”

"It's okay, it's just that I always look forward to Chief Min going back. And then there's the fact that he's always complaining. ”

"Oh, what is squad leader Zhang complaining about?"

"He always said every day that he was also the first batch of old people in the government corps, and he was the squad leader at that time. How many newcomers are older than him now, he is still the squad leader, he always asks him to watch the stall, and he has never fought a serious battle, can he still be regarded as a member of the government corps? ”

"Hahaha, this Zhang Decai has some truth in what he said. Well, in the future, there will be a war for him, and if he wants to be an official, it is not easy, so he will be an official in the future. Miaoyu, Liu Fushan will be yours in the future. ”

"Liu Fushan has seen Miss Miaoyu."

"Hehe, Liu Fushan, I welcome you to me, but you have to start with a recruit. In addition, in the future, it is not allowed to call Miss Miaoyu, but to call the company commander. ”

"Company commander."

You can't call a girl, you have to call a company commander. Well, as long as you can go back to the Fu Corps, you can call your aunt and grandmother.

The large army approached, and Jia Min led people to meet them. When the two sides met, they naturally sighed a lot and sighed.

Several people were welcomed into the village, and a place to live had been arranged for them, and they were each settled.

Because of the great victory of defeating Han Tiankui's Ningguta army, and also to welcome the arrival of Shui Rong's people, Jia Min ordered that the whole army improve their food tonight, and they can drink and celebrate.

Scholar Ji learned the news of Jia Min and Chang'an's victory, and when they were still in Xiangshui River, they worked together to calculate the marriage contract between Chang'an and Jia Min.

Previously, they were going to the North Sea to announce the matter.

It stands to reason that this matter should be done first, and Jia Min's elders, that is, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, should be found first, and then the marriage certificate of Yuanheng Tianzi should be presented.

Since Yuan Heng has died, Chang'an now has no elders, so even if Scholar Ji is an elder in Chang'an, he exercises the rights of elders instead of Yuan Heng.

The reason why Yuan Heng entrusted this matter to Scholar Ji in the first place was actually this intention.

Now that he is not going to Beihai for the time being, the original plan has to be postponed for the time being.

Talking directly to Jia Min is actually also a way, because this is an extraordinary time, and things are urgent, although there is a disagreement in the number of etiquette, but as long as the marriage of the two is promoted, there is no need to worry about so many subsections.

Therefore, several people decided to announce the matter directly after meeting Jia Min.

Unexpectedly, after Chang'an listened to their plan, he resolutely opposed it.

Chang'an's reason is naturally that it is not polite.

However, the three of them are all long-experienced characters, and they can see through Chang'an's mind at once.

Now Chang'an is basically in the situation of relying on Jia Min, and when the marriage contract is announced at this time, it is suspected of using and binding Jia Min with the marriage contract.

This made it difficult for Chang'an to accept in terms of self-esteem, and he was afraid of inviting criticism from others.

Therefore, Ji Mingluan and the others had to give up for the time being and did not mention the marriage contract.

If you don't mention the marriage contract, it doesn't mean that you don't care about other things. Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan are both people who used to be in high positions, and they naturally think differently from others.

What they are concerned about now is the future direction of the situation.

This battle defeated Han Tiankui and made the battle situation further clear.

That is, Jia Min's power is enough to compete with the Tianshun court, and even has a faint upper hand.

If the Tianshun Dynasty is overthrown, it will face a very real question: who will be the emperor in the future?

From Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan's hearts, they still hope to recover the previous dynasty.

However, it is not easy to do this.

The first is that the Son of Heaven has abdicated and ceded the throne to Han Tiandou. Although it was forced, this is already a fait accompli, and it makes sense in principle.

The second is that the bloodline of the male heir to the royal family of the previous dynasty has been broken, and only Chang'an is left, which is considered royal orthodoxy.

Although there was a precedent for Wu Zetian to be the emperor in the past, it is still very difficult to make a woman in Chang'an the emperor, and she will face huge challenges in the future.

Another point is also important.

If the Tianshun Dynasty is overthrown, the one who has contributed the most and played a decisive role is Jia Min.

Although Chang'an had some soldiers and horses, He Jialin, Zhou Tong and Ma Qingshan in the northwest also raised troops. But without Jia Min's strength, they wouldn't have been able to do anything at all. Soon it will be exterminated by the Tianshun Dynasty.

Whether in terms of strength or merit, Jia Min is the most qualified to be the emperor.

If Jia Min becomes the emperor, the team in Chang'an and the team in the northwest will easily be divided.

Here in Chang'an, Luo Xingshan and Liu Huaide turned out to be Wang Ziteng's subordinates, and Jia Min had a life-saving grace for Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, and Ma Shangde.

In the northwest team, He Jialin is Wang Ziteng's subordinate, and he is still related to Jia Min, and Zhou Tong and Ma Qingshan are all in the same department as Jia Min.

With these relationships, if Jia Min becomes the emperor, these people will basically not object. Moreover, Jia Min's own strength is strong enough, even if they oppose it, it is useless.

This, they will not be blind. Therefore, the most likely thing to do is that they will not only not oppose it, but will also actively support Jia Min.

The emperors of all dynasties have obtained the throne in thousands of ways, but fundamentally speaking, there are actually two ways.

One is the country that is won by strength, and the other is the country inherited by bloodline.

Now, Jia Min has the qualifications to rely on strength to build the country.

The marriage contract between Chang'an and Jia Min will certainly play some role. If Jia Min becomes the emperor, the best result is that Chang'an will be the queen.

However, Jia Min already has a marriage contract, and Chang'an belongs to the latecomers. In fact, Chang'an no longer has much strength, bargaining with the Jia family.

Therefore, whether Chang'an can be the queen or not, in fact, there is no certainty of victory.

Shui Rong and Ji Mingluan discussed for a while, but they didn't come up with a result.

At this time, they realized that they had thought about this matter too simply.
