The military salary in the second half of the year has been settled, Yuwenchu and King Zhongshan have also relieved, the negotiations broke down, and the two sides didn't even want the most basic cover-up, and they tore apart again. At the beginning of July, Yu Wenchu led his troops to recapture the remaining cities occupied by the rebels south of Weishui, completely recovered Weishui, rearranged the Weishui defense line, and trained sailors to prepare for another battle.

The tail water defense line with new huge ships and artillery was impregnable, and the king of Zhongshan organized several crazy counterattacks in succession, but failed to break through, but suffered heavy losses, and even his third son, who was the best at fighting, was hit by artillery and died on the spot. The Huns were accustomed to robbery and killing, and they still couldn't change this habit after withdrawing to the north, and inevitably had a huge conflict with the military and civilians in the north, and the internal contradictions were very serious, and the trouble was inextricable.

At the same time, Yuwen Chu issued a decree on the reclamation of wasteland, announcing that the owner of the wasteland would be granted the right to open up the wasteland, and at the same time, the imperial court would also exempt the tax for five years, so as to summon the displaced refugees to return to their hometowns, cultivate the wasteland, and rebuild their homes. With the order, many refugees ventured back to their hometowns, barren fields were rebuilt, dilapidated houses were re-smoky, the tailwater area began to rejuvenate, and Yu Wenchu's reputation was unprecedented.

This year, the wind and rain are smooth, thriving, and the pearl has a very comfortable time. Zhuang Zhuang is over three years old, Mi Li'er is almost two years old, she began to teach the two children to read, well, in fact, the main thing is to teach Zhuang Zhuang, Mi Li'er is on the side to read, just listen, it doesn't matter how much you learn.

She doesn't have high requirements for Zhuang Zhuang, two or three days to remember a simple word and feel very remarkable, mainly subtle, Zhuang Zhuang did not disappoint her, he is very talented in this area, excellent memory, patience is also very good, occasionally burst out of an amazing sentence, both full of childlike fun and very interesting. This gave Fu Cong a lot of relief in pain, he often stroked the top of his strong hair, and Mingzhu said that Zhuang Zhuang is very good, and he must teach it well, especially the enlightened gentleman must pick it well.

Mingzhu thought about it for a long time, and then asked Jiang Zhouzi's opinion, and decided to send Zhuang Zhuang over to accompany Fu Cong. The child is still young and can't learn much, which can not only relieve Fu Cong's pain, add fun, but also allow the child to learn more useful things. Knowledge can be obtained through hard work, but the vision layout and mind can not be possessed by diligence.

The next generation always has to spoil the child a little more, Zhuang Zhuang is usually very strict by Mingzhu, and it is really comfortable and comfortable to Fu Cong here, Fu Cong will make him happy again, and tell very magical stories, he also likes to accompany Fu Cong, often Mingzhu comes to pick him up and is reluctant. The old and the young get along very happily, and the family is rendered by this peace and happiness, and feels that there is nothing more than this in the world.

One day in early August, King Fu finally returned to the capital safely, and the next day, King Fu's step-concubine came to visit Mingzhu mysteriously, and after greetings, he asked Mingzhu to retreat left and right, and then whispered: "Our Royal Highness was going to visit the sixth brother and sister in person, but he didn't dare to come." ”

Mingzhu didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she had to cheer: "The second sister-in-law laughed, the second brother is the eldest brother, and he just came back from Wusun, so I should take the children to visit Ancai." It's just that there are a lot of things at home in the past two days, so I plan to go back later, and the gifts are ready, and you are here. ”

King Fu's step-concubine smiled: "He is a person who treats crimes, where does he have such a big face?" The sixth brother and the sixth brother and sister don't care, it's already good. He didn't dare to come, there was really another matter. ”

Mingzhu couldn't see her grinding temperament, so she said: "What the hell, the second sister-in-law said it directly." I can't care about our highness, I still care. ”

"That's what you said, then I really said it, don't blame us for being troublesome." The step-concubine of King Fu was still worried: "I also know that this matter is offended, but if we can push it, we won't do it, but we can't push it off, and I can only bite the bullet." When the sixth brother and sister heard this, if they were angry, they scolded me twice, hit me twice, and I recognized it. ”

Mingzhu was frightened by her: "What the hell is going on?" Besides, I'm leaving. ”

King Fu's step-concubine looked into her eyes and said softly, "Ji Hui is back, and she came back with our Royal Highness." ”

Mingzhu suddenly "chuckled" in her heart, and said with a light smile: "Didn't she go back to the Northland?" But what happened to the Ji family that made her have to return to the capital? ”

The step-concubine of King Fu sighed, and her eyes were extremely sympathetic: "It's not that the Ji family has an accident, but that she has an accident." Ji Hui is seven months pregnant. ”

What is the reason for Ji Hui, who is unmarried and pregnant, to return to the capital? Mingzhu smiled and looked at King Fu's step-concubine in silence, who didn't dare to look at her, and said in a low voice: "Listen to our highness, it happened during the New Year, didn't Kang Ning follow the team to stop in Gui County for the New Year?" Wusun's greeting envoy also arrived, and it is said that the king of Wusun came in person to see the sixth brother. The sixth brother also went, and King Wusun wanted to fight with the sixth brother, and the two drank a total of five jars of wine, and they were all drunk......"

The step-concubine of King Fu paused, and said with a dodgy gaze: "At that time, this matter did not come out, the sixth brother stayed in Gui County for three days and left, I didn't hear anything about it, but after the snow melted, Ji Hui refused to follow the team to send relatives, but stayed in Gui County, she told our Royal Highness at that time that she was about to arrive in the north, and she followed the team to send relatives, which was inconvenient." If you want to stop at Guixian and wait for someone to send someone to pick you up, your Highness won't care much. Who knew that when she came back, she met her again in the suburbs of Beijing, and she had to come back with our Highness, and our Highness was afraid of making a big incident, so he had to bring her back. Now people live in our house, you see...... Well, what to do? ”

It turns out that the Empress Dowager's "Ji Hui" before she died, did she actually refer to this? Mingzhu's hands and feet were cold, she looked at King Fu's step-concubine fixedly, and said coldly: "The person was brought back by the second brother, how to deal with him, he should have a plan in his heart, and ask me what to do?" ”

The step-concubine of King Fu was anxious: "Hey, why don't you ask you, whether the wild child recognizes it or not, isn't it just a word from the eldest woman?" If you admit it, take them back and settle them well. If you don't admit it, it's not up to you to say what to do. We didn't shout out either, what you do no one else will know. ”

Mingzhu eased her mind and tried her best to calm down: "In this way, I have to thank the second brother and sister-in-law for thinking about me." It's just that this kid is really none of my business, and our Highness has never mentioned it to me, so he won't know if he has done it himself or not. Since our Highness hasn't done it, this is Ji Hui's private matter, what do I have to do? ”
