The whole town of Changle is now vibrant, and every family is living a good life. ｛｝

Even the livelihood of those refugees from outside is guaranteed, they farm the fields, and those who go to work will not starve to death anyway.

Now there are businessmen in Shenxian County who are specially responsible for purchasing grain from Hunan, which can ensure that Shenxian County will no longer have to worry about running out of grain!

This time, Yun Xue returned to Changle Town and saw the changes in her hometown with her own eyes.

Of course, it is also because of the return of the eldest princess to her hometown, and Changle Town suddenly became lively.

But this kind of excitement can only last for a while, because the Xiao family is still guarding filial piety, and during the period of filial piety, there can be no happy events, so they can't even prepare a banquet for Yunxue to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo has already invited everyone to eat in Luzhou!

From Yun Xue's first step into the Xiao family, the noise stopped.

Yun Xue first went to the tomb of Meng Qiuxiang in Houshan to worship, and Zhao Yao also went with her, which made Yun Xue a little puzzled.

I'm going to see my mother-in-law, what are you coming with?

Of course, such a question, Yun Xue naturally stayed in her heart, after all, Zhao Yao is her sister, and it is understandable that she wants to accompany her to the grave to worship.

After worshipping Meng Qiuxiang, he returned to the courtyard of the Xiao family.

In the courtyard, the girls and their respective ladies sat in front of the chessboard, and they were killing each other, Lin Jie faced Yu Niang, and Lin Jia faced Yang Yanqi.

Such a scene made Zhao Yao and Yun Xuedi strange.

Why did this family learn to play chess?

Zhao Yao and Yun Xue glanced at each other, and at this time, Qin'er, who was standing next to her, saw that the two princesses had returned, so she hurriedly walked over.

"Are they playing Go?" Zhao Yao asked Qin'er.

"Princess, isn't it Go......" Qin'er is Zhao Yao's personal maid, naturally she doesn't need to be courteous, she came to Zhao Yao's side, and then said softly: "It is said that the horse taught them backgammon......"

"Backgammon?"

Zhao Yao looked at the chessboard suspiciously, and then she really found some ways.

So in this way, Zhao Yao also became interested, and pulled Yun Xue to watch and learn on the side.

Xiao Mo naturally went to the study, he, as well as Xiu Zhiming and Zheng Kuan, three people!

Xiao Mo said to Zheng Kuan: "First of all, congratulations to Zheng Lao for being among the princes of one side, and in the future, the realm of Yizhou will be in the hands of Zheng Lao and the Zheng family!" ”

When Zheng Kuan heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Ziheng killed the old man, you can't say this!" ”

This finally returned to the imperial court, if Xiao Mo's words spread out, it would definitely be a big blow to the Zheng family.

Because of the An Dynasty in the peaceful and prosperous era, even the royal princes did not dare to claim to be princes, not to mention that the Zheng family has just accepted the title from the imperial court and has not yet taken office in Yizhou.

Xiao Mo smiled slightly and said, "Elder Zheng rest assured, since Gu, the Maven will not kill loyal ministers!" ”

The meaning of this sentence is that as long as your Zheng family is loyal to the court, the emperor will not treat you badly!

"Taught!" Zheng Kuan hugged his fist at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo glanced at Xiu's name, and then said, "What did the prince say about the Fujian Ship Division?" ”

Xiu Zhizhi said: "Ziheng's recital has been handed to Taiyuan...... I heard that the recent war in Taiyuan has been a little unsmooth! ”

"The war in Taiyuan is not going well?" Xiao Mo was surprised and asked: "Under the command of Master Li, there are old generals Liang, as well as Di Qing, Cao Xiang, Fu Heng and other famous generals, but how can the 600,000 army still lose to the 300,000 horses of the Liao State?" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's question, Xiu Zhiming wanted to speak several times, but in the end he shook his head and didn't speak.

There are some things that he can't say at all, do you want to say in the name of repair, the war in the north was originally good, and the Liao State was also fought back and forth, and the Liao people did not take any advantage, but because of the emperor, the war did not go smoothly?

I can't say the name of Xiu, and I don't dare to say that!

But that's really the case.

Seeing that Xiu Zhizhi didn't speak, Xiao Mo had no choice but to look at Zheng Kuan.

Zheng Kuan didn't dare to say it!

Xiao Mo's face sank, and he asked Xiu Zhiming, "What's wrong, say!" When the sky falls, you can't blame it! ”

Xiu Zhiming said: "The emperor's condition is getting worse, and for the emperor's safety, the ministers who accompanied the emperor's personal expedition have asked Lord Li to withdraw from the army...... But now that the imperial court and the Liao State are at a stalemate, if the Liao people do not retreat, how can the army of the imperial court retreat? ”

Xiu Zhiming spoke, Zheng Kuan was not afraid, he said, "Yes...... You can imagine how much pressure is on Lord Li's shoulders! ”

Indeed, on one side is the emperor's safety, and there is no room for loss! On one side is an army of 600,000, and the success or failure of this battle cannot be lost!

What to do?

Not to mention Li Zhun, even Xiao Mo, who is far away in Shen County, after listening to Xiu's name and Zheng Kuan's words, he also feels that he is at a loss!

The two countries go to war, and the stakes are very important, and it can be said that one trigger will affect the whole body.

In such a situation now, Xiao Mo is also powerless, he can only pin his hopes on Li Zhun, hoping that he can withstand the pressure!

But...... If Zhao Quan's condition really doesn't improve, then ...... Can Li Zhun afford this responsibility?

"That'...... Has Master Li retired from the army? Xiao Mo suddenly asked.

"Nope!" Xiu Zhiming replied, and then said: "It is precisely because of this that the imperial court, whether it is in the capital or Taiyuan, the twists and turns of impeaching Lord Li are piled up!" ”

Xiao Mo asked, "What does the emperor mean?" What did the prince say? ”

Xiu Zhizhi said: "The prince naturally ordered Lord Li to withdraw from the army...... However, the emperor's attitude has not been expressed! ”

It seems that Zhao Quan still wants to hold on!

Xiao Mo thought for a moment, and then asked Zheng Kuan, "Old Zheng, in your opinion, what does the emperor mean?" ”

The reason why Zheng Kuan was asked was that Xiao Mo himself was not sure what Zhao Quan thought.

As the saying goes, the heart of a gentleman is unpredictable. For thousands of years, the thoughts of emperors are the most difficult to guess, because people are in high positions, so their thoughts are different from ordinary people!

Besides, Zhao Quan's attitude is indeed unclear!

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Zheng Kuan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The old man can't guess it, after all, this holy will is unpredictable, maybe the emperor doesn't want to lose to the Liao State again this time!" ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly when he heard this, Zheng Kuan and the emperor had never met, and he didn't know Zhao Quan's personality, his words were obviously said by his own intuition.

Just guessed based on intuition, he couldn't be sure whether what Zheng Kuan said was right or wrong, but Xiao Mo still laughed!

Because the reason why Xiao Mo asked Zheng Kuan, instead of asking about Xiu's name, was because Xiao Mo saw some of Zhao Quan's characteristics in Zheng Kuan's body!
