In the remote areas of Gyeonggi, in the mountains and forests, a large number of mountain bandits have gathered.

Like Yan Yun went out of Beijing together, a team of thousands of people, fully armed with weapons and armor, the mountain bandits naturally did not dare to plunder, but avoided it.

Mountain bandits occupy major transportation routes and specialize in robbing passing caravans.

Dozens of people, hundreds of small and medium-sized caravans, were the main targets of their robbery.

For a period of time, many commercial houses have reported cases to the Yamen.

The government was busy with disaster relief, and for the time being, it could not spare manpower and material resources to go into the mountains to suppress bandits.

Again, at present, the mountain bandits only rob property and do not involve lives, which is also one of the reasons why the government has not moved for a long time.

Until, when Yan Yunge returned to the capital, he encountered a group of blindless mountain bandits robbing him.

The scale of her convoy into Beijing is not large, and even her mother-in-law and maid are only a hundred people.

Perhaps the mountain bandits who came from other places were not familiar with the ground, and when they saw few people, they dared to take people down the mountain to plunder.

But all the mountain bandits who are familiar with the land know that the convoy of the owner of Fugui Villa cannot move.

Sure enough, this group of mountain bandits rushed down from the mountain in one go, and they wanted to kill the convoy by surprise, but they were unexpectedly killed.

The seemingly ordinary convoy turned out to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and the guards were all masters with one enemy and ten.

Even the ladies in the carriage can use a sharp sword to kill people, just like chopping melons and vegetables.

With a stick of incense, the war was reversed.

The mountain bandits fled for their lives.

Yan Yunge's side has few manpower, so he can't disperse his forces to pursue.

Only one can be caught is one.

Lying on the ground, even dead and alive, they were all taken away, and the mountain bandits were sent to the government to give an explanation.

Government: "......"

Recently, I have been busy with disaster relief, and I am so busy every day that my feet don't touch the ground.

As a result, everyone does not want to reduce the burden on the government, and will only add to the chaos.

Damn this group of mountain bandits.

Isn't it good to stay home?

You have to go out and be a bandit.

The rest of the matter will be handled by the people below.

Yan Yunge didn't show up, and went back to the capital directly.

Xiao Shi was frightened when she learned that on her way back to Beijing, she encountered mountain bandits and looted.

She was surprised, "There are mountain bandits in Gyeonggi?" ”

"There are quite a few people. A cursory look at the past, let alone two or three hundred people. And that's just a group of people. It is said that the strongest group of mountain bandits have gathered thousands of young people. ”

"Are you alright? Come and show me. ”

Shaw was worried.

Yan Yunge's face was relaxed, "Mother, I'm fine." A group of local chickens and dogs can't get close to me at all. ”

Xiao Shi was relieved to be sure she was okay.

However, I am still worried.

There is already a bandit problem in Gyeonggi, and you can imagine how bad the situation is in other places.

The key point is that the imperial court and local governments are super slow to respond.

It is not possible to eradicate the bandits in the first place.

Normally, only when an extremely serious case occurs, or someone who should not be provoked, will the local garrison mobilize and organize people to immediately go to the mountain to suppress the bandits.

However, in all dynasties, the suppression of bandits has been a big problem.

The difficulty of getting rid of the bandits may be due to the incompetence of the government, but more importantly, the mountain bandits are familiar with the terrain and landforms, and as soon as the officers and soldiers come, they immediately hide in the mountains.

When the officers and soldiers retreated in vain, the mountain bandits gathered again to loot.

During this period, there were also people who reported the news and covered for the mountain bandits.

Suppressing bandits has always been a thankless task.

The success of the bandits is deserved, and there is no reward for it.

If you fail to suppress bandits, you are incompetent and derelict in your duties!

Unless the mountain bandits raise the banner to rebel, the nature will be different immediately.

The bandits immediately turned into a peaceful disorder.

Even if the bandits kill a hundred people, they don't have much merit.

Quelling the chaos, even if only ten people are killed, is a great achievement.

No one can say whether the mountain bandits in the Gyeonggi area will become rebels.

The situation has gone bad, but it is a sure thing.

Xiao Shi was worried about Yan Yunge's safety, "Over there in Fugui Villa, you can't go any further." If you really can't do it, you will give up the villa, or abandon it for two years. The weather is dry and the land is dry, and the years are not peaceful. Even if you are naturally strong, you can't stand the strength of the crowd. Just because you can get out safely this time doesn't mean that you can get out safely next time. Listen to me, and don't be reluctant to give up when it's time to give up. ”

Yan Yunge said: "Over there in Fugui Villa, my daughter has already made arrangements to prevent someone from working together inside and outside, and contact the mountain bandits to rob them. If the mountain bandits don't come, they dare to go to the villa to commit murder, and they will definitely be told that they will not return. From now until the Spring Festival, the daughter will stay in the capital to accompany her mother. The eldest sister is about to give birth, and the daughter is still waiting to wash the little nephew. ”

Hearing that his daughter was not going to go to Fugui Villa before the New Year, Xiao Shi was obviously relieved.

It is important for the eldest daughter Yan Yunfei to give birth to a child, but there is another important thing before this, His Majesty's birthday has arrived.

In previous years, the Halloween Festival, because it was not a whole birthday, was never held.

This year is the whole birthday, and since last year, the Shaofu and the Ministry of Rites have been making preparations.

Originally, the Wanshou Festival coincided with the autumn harvest, and the five grains were abundant and jubilant.

I was born this year, and I didn't catch up with the good years.

Just after the autumn harvest, from the court to the people, everyone was sad and miserable.

The grain production has been seriously reduced, can this year's Halloween be spent safely?

Everyone was worried, everyone was worried.

I am afraid that the emperor will take the opportunity to attack.

Therefore, prepare gifts for Halloween with more care.

Be sure to make the emperor satisfied and happy!

As long as the emperor is happy, everything is negotiable.

……

The festival is held for three consecutive days.

On the first day, the court officials ordered their wives.

The next day, the princes and nobles, the royal family.

On the third day, the royal family feast.

The Xiao family is not only the wife of the imperial court, but also the royal family.

In order to take care of her eldest daughter, Yan Yunfei, she chose to enter the palace on the first day to congratulate.

Yan Yunfei had a big belly of eight months, her movements were slow, her steps were clumsy, and her body was extremely burdened.

Fortunately, with her mother Xiao taking care of her, she was able to successfully complete the court.

The gift was specially ordered by Shi Wen, Marquis of Pingwu.

On behalf of Pingwu Marquis Shi Wen, she sent congratulatory gifts.

Emperor Yongtai rarely smiled, and asked about Shi Wen's situation.

Yan Yunfei was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered them one by one.

Emperor Yongtai sighed with emotion, "Shi Gong is loyal to the monarch and the country, but he is actually an important minister of the humerus of the imperial court, and I rely on it a lot." It's a pity that I can't meet Shi Gong, which is a pity. ”

"The courtiers thank Your Majesty for the Hou Ye, Your Majesty's trust is the grace of heaven."

"Hahaha......"

Emperor Yongtai smiled with satisfaction, "No courtesy! Your father, Hou Yan of Guangning, is also familiar with me. In terms of kinship, he is still my brother-in-law. Back then, I met your father, and he was a natural general. ”

Yan Yunfei hurriedly said: "The border military affairs are busy, and my father can't come to the capital to congratulate Your Majesty on his birthday, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

"It doesn't matter! Border army generals, this time on the Wanshou Festival, none of them came to the capital, I understand. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to gasp.

Yan Yunfei's forehead was sweating.

She was uncomfortable.

The burden on her body is too heavy, and the pressure is coming to her face at the moment, and she is about to be unable to support it.

Fortunately, his mother, Xiao Shi, stood up in time.

"Since last year, the northwest has not been peaceful. The border army on the northern front, equipped for battle, did not dare to slack off for a day. This year the Northland is dry, and the grasslands are equally dry. As soon as the autumn harvest is over, it is necessary to prevent the grassland tribes from going south to fight the grass valley. At this time, all responsible generals did not dare to leave the defense line. It doesn't matter if he leaves alone, he is afraid that the people at the border will suffer, and they will be killed and injured. The Marquis of Guangning can't come to the capital to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, which is really excusable, please forgive Your Majesty! ”

Xiao Shi bowed down, not only to relieve the siege for Yan Shouzhan, but also to remind the emperor that he should not make trouble unreasonably.

I don't look at what year it is, the situation at the border is in crisis, and which general dares to leave without permission, just to celebrate his birthday.

Is it the birthday banquet that is important, or the border security is important?

As long as you are not a faint king, you can distinguish the priorities.

deliberately picking a prick at the birthday banquet, or aiming at a pregnant woman, is disgraceful.

Emperor Yongtai seemed to be smiling, "Zhuyang is still old-tempered, and he has one thing to say." I can't help but think of the days when we were young, when we were studying in the inner study. At that time, you often taught your younger brothers and sisters, and you had the demeanor of an eldest sister. ”

Xiao Shi said with a smile: "I didn't expect Your Majesty to remember the things of the past so many years. I've long forgotten. ”

"Such an unforgettable experience, how can I forget. I'm glad you can come to congratulate me on my birthday. Things in the past should be forgotten, but what should not be forgotten must always be remembered. ”

Xiao Shi looked up at Emperor Yongtai who was sitting on the top seat, and smiled slightly, "Thank you Your Majesty for reminding you." It's just that I can't tell what to forget and what to remember, so it's better to forget them all, but it's also enjoyable. To be able to return to the capital and live a peaceful life, I am enough! ”

"Really?" Emperor Yongtai seemed to smile, "I heard that your youngest daughter has not yet settled the marriage. Do you want me to give your daughter a marriage? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The little girl is stubborn, plus she is young, and I want to keep her for a few more years. A few years later, I will have to get a kiss. ”

"The youth of the girl's family can't be wasted, and it is better to settle the family affairs as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty reminds you of that. It's just that the little girl hasn't been married yet, and I want to wait for her to wait for her to discuss the marriage. ”

Emperor Yongtai nodded, "Sure enough, it's a mother's heart." But I'll put it here first, and when your daughter's marriage is finalized, I'll give her a marriage. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Shi's heart was crooked, and he still had a look of surprise on his face.

She was a little irritable.

Emperor Yongtai obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but he restrained his impulse.

This situation is terrible.

The more restrained this is, the more crazy it will become.

Xiao was worried and restless.

When I was eating the birthday banquet, I didn't move my chopsticks.

Yan Yunfei was also uncomfortable.

There are big rules in the palace, living, sitting and lying, all have rules.

She sat on the ground with a big belly, embarrassed to death.

By the time the birthday banquet was over, her clothes, inside and out, had been soaked with sweat.

She held it all the time, and insisted on it until she left the palace and got into the carriage, and then she screamed.

"Mother, I'm probably about to give birth."

Xiao was startled.

"Why can't you bear to say it until now. Hurry up, hurry home. Someone comes, take the name of the palace to ask for a doctor, and rush to Shifu as soon as possible......"
