Jia Min knows Lin Ruhai's temperament very well, and what he doesn't want to say, no matter how he asks, he won't say it. So Lin Ruhai is a calm and successful person, so she won't say more. The two of them finished washing up and fell asleep in each other's arms.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lin Ruhai received a letter from Li Jifan, saying that the things he entrusted had been done, and Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief. After going down to the palace, he went directly to Rongguo Mansion. Jia Daishan saw him coming, and he had a number in his heart, and called Jia Zheng into the study together.

"Father-in-law, what you entrusted a few days ago, the little son-in-law is fortunate not to be dishonored, and the appointment will be made tomorrow."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his heart suddenly felt that this appointment was given to him, so he didn't know what kind of appointment it was.

Jia Daishan showed a relaxed attitude on his face, "Zheng'er, for your father, your sister-in-law has made a gap for you from the fifth grade." ”

Jia Zheng never imagined that Jia Daishan would ask for someone for himself, let alone that his sister-in-law could help him find an errand regardless of his past suspicions, after all, the Wang family had offended their husband and wife before. He was moved in his heart, and he was afraid that his father was joking, so he said with some uncertainty: "Father didn't coax me? ”

"Can this be fake, didn't you listen to your sister-in-law explain that her son is going to be appointed? Do you dare to doubt Lao Tzu's words? ”

"No, no, no...... The son just didn't think ...... Son...... Thank you father, for my thoughts, and I want more sisters-in-law to run for me......"

"Alright! What nonsense! It's just that you have to think about it this time, you are going to Shuzhong to let go of foreign posts, which is not more comfortable than the capital, but you will have to suffer for a few years. ”

When Jia Zheng heard that he was going to Shuzhong, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he was not from the imperial examination, and it was not easy to be promoted a few levels in a row, and he must not let go of such an opportunity. If he can make some achievements in office, he will be justifiably promoted when he returns to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai knew what he was thinking when he saw Jia Zheng's expression, so he said: "The second uncle has worked hard in Shuzhong, this position of academic politics is very suitable for the second uncle, I believe that the second uncle can also make political achievements, and it will be cheaper to return to Beijing at that time." ”

Jia Zheng listened to what Lin Ruhai said, and his heart became more steady, and then he saluted Lin Ruhai, "More sisters-in-law plan for me, I will live up to my father's expectations and make some political achievements in Shuzhong." ”

Jia Daishan knew that his son was a high-minded man, and he wanted to knock a few words, but he was afraid that he would back down, so he pouted and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't ask you for anything big, just live your own life!" As soon as you go thousands of miles, I don't worry that you will suffer alone, so I will ask your daughter-in-law to follow you and serve. As for Sister Yuan'er still staying in Rongxi Hall, she is young and can't withstand long-distance bumps. ”

"Yes, the son listens to his father's arrangement!"

Lin Ruhai saw that he had already said it here, so he said goodbye and went home.

In the evening, Jia Daishan announced that Jia Zheng would go to Shuzhong to take office. Jia's mother cried and disagreed, Jia Daishan was about to get angry, Jia Zheng stood up and coaxed Jia's mother to analyze the benefits of going to Shuzhong with Jia's mother, and in the end, Jia's mother was still Jia Zheng's sentence: The son is not from the imperial examination, and it is not easy to have a chance to be promoted to the fifth grade, as long as the son stays in Shu for a few years, it will be logical after returning to Beijing. And when he said that he moved, he also said that he wanted the Wang family to go to Shuzhong with him. The Wang family didn't want to leave the capital at all, thinking that Jia's mother would make trouble with Jia Zheng and not need to be outside, even if he really went, he could stay for the reason of filial piety in front of his parents for his father. But unexpectedly, Jia Mu not only agreed to Jia Zheng's foreign appointment, but also offered to let her follow, not to mention Jia Daishan, he wished that he was not in front of him. The Wang family couldn't think hard, so he could only reluctantly pack up, regretting in his heart why he didn't insist on raising Sister Yuan in front of him in the first place, or he wouldn't have to go to Shuzhong to suffer.

Here, Jia Zheng and his wife packed their luggage and prepared to go to Shuzhong, and Qi Lan sent news from the northeast border through Dayuanfang.

It turned out that in the first month of the month, the Tatars came to the small towns on the border again to smash and loot, but they happened to meet General Li Jin, who was ordered to patrol the border. This Li Jin was born recklessly, but his personality is reckless, but he is a good skill, and he is bold and righteous, and he is also quite prestigious in the army. He was inadvertently rescued by King Yan when he first went to the northeast to fight against the Tatars, and he was fighting to the death with a group of brothers to protect the innocent people. In the past two years, he has also made many military exploits, which is very valued by King Yan.

This Li Jin was red-eyed when he saw the Tatars killing the people, and not to mention killing these Tatars, he also cut off his head and hung it on the top of the city. Originally, it was only to deter those Tatars, but the bad thing is that there is a prince of the Tatars in these people, and he is the most favored little prince. This little prince was also bewitched by others, and he made a bet with others to harass the border people rashly, but he never expected to lose his life.

When the Tatar king found out, he immediately slaughtered the whole family of the person who had made a bet with the little prince, and sent an emergency signal, gathered 300,000 men and horses, and started fighting without saying a word, shouting that the king of Yan would hand over the whole family of the person responsible, otherwise the 300,000 army would set foot on the land of Daming. King Yan naturally would not betray his subordinates, and now the two sides are stalemate.

Lin Ruhai read the letter and knew that King Yan wanted to protect Li Jin, so he didn't mention anything about the little prince of Tatar in the military newspaper.

The next morning, Lin Ruhai was called by the emperor to the imperial study, "This is news from Liu Cheng, take a look!" ”

Lin Ruhai took a quick look at the letter handed over by the emperor, and it was roughly the same as what Qi Lan checked.

"What do you think of Ruhai?" The emperor asked.

Lin Ruhai thought about it all night last night, and now it is necessary to send someone to the Northeast to solve this thorny matter, but who to send is a big problem, originally the army in the Northeast is the old department of the historian, but now the historian has no one to lead the troops. And if this matter cannot be properly resolved, it is likely that there will be chaos in the Northeast Army. In fact, Jia Daishan has a lot of old friends in the Northeast Army, and he is a person who is rough and fine, strategic, and very good at using soldiers, so it is most appropriate to send him, but ......

"Your Majesty, it seems that at present, only Prince Tengshang can use it."

"Wang Ziteng can't do it, his mind is not pure, I will not let him take charge of the army again. You and I both know that he is the only one who can take on this important task now! You don't want him to go on an expedition, I treat him as a brother, how can you let him take risks? ”

"Your Majesty! We are all His Majesty's people, His Majesty needs us, and we should do things for Your Majesty with all our hearts! ”

"Don't worry, I will let Liu Cheng follow him this time, be his lieutenant, and I will definitely protect his safety."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Ruhai knelt down and thanked him.
