Mo Chen expressed his apology: "I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't wake you up, and I will definitely wake you up next time."

"By the way, just now the secret guard came, something happened to Liang Guo's side."

Tang Yingying was distracted: "The civil strife on the Liang side is more serious?"

Mo Chen nodded, and shook his head again: "There are several cities that have announced their independence from the Liang State, and among them is Qumen Pass. Moreover, Pang Xingxue, the guard general of Qumen Pass, handed over the documents of the peace talks to General Wen, expressing his willingness to become a small subordinate state of our Western Dynasty."

Tang Yingying was a little surprised, but not too surprised: "I didn't expect Qumenguan to make such a decision. However, the division of Liang into several countries is a good thing for us."

"Is there any movement between Zhu Guo and Yue Guo?"

Mo Chen took the cloak handed by his subordinates and tied it to Tang Yingying: "Zhu Guo and Yue Guo are already preparing to attack Liang State. It's a good opportunity to attack Liang now."

Tang Yingying frowned: "Zhu Guo and Yue Guo don't come to provoke us, these two countries will attack Liang if they want to attack, let's not mix."

Mo Chen: "That's what the prince meant."

Tang Yingying heard the subtext: "A courtier proposes to attack the Liang State?"

Mo Chen tapped the tip of her nose twice, "Yes." I just got the news that some courtiers proposed to take advantage of the civil strife in Liang to capture Liang, so that the Western Dynasty would not have to worry about anything."

"The prince refused outright, and he listed a lot of the needs and losses of the war, and asked who would make these courtiers, and who would settle the casualties, and how their families should be settled. Those courtiers only want credit, where will this come from, so they don't speak anymore."

Tang Yingying is more and more satisfied with the prince: "I have to say that the prince you elected is really from the country and the people. Normally, when the prince sees such a situation, he will choose to go to war, what an opportunity to make contributions."

"But such an opportunity is forged with countless blood and corpses. The crown prince didn't want such an opportunity, he was thinking about how to make the people live a good life."

Mo Chen smiled faintly: "The prince is a very good person. Putting aside his laziness, everything he thinks and thinks is for the people and the country, and he really puts the people in his heart. Hopefully, he can stick to his original intention."

Tang Yingying joked: "The prince's original intention is to retire as soon as possible."

Mo Chen: "...... What the daughter-in-law said is reasonable, the prince's original intention is to retire as soon as possible."

The two talked and laughed.

……

Western capital, early dynasty, Jinluan Palace.

Mo Yuankai yawned vaguely, last night he was busy until the early hours of the morning, and he slept for an hour before getting up to go to the morning court. Damn, if he continues like this, he will die suddenly sooner or later.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." A courtier walked out and saluted, "The minister has heard that Zhu and Yue have made some moves, so we must take precautions, in case these two countries will come to attack our Western Dynasty with a false shot."

The courtiers were talking.

"It's possible. The envoys of the two countries on the front foot left the Western Capital, and the two countries on the back foot sent troops to the Liang State, showing their uneasiness and kindness."

"I think Zhu Guo and Yue Guo are trying to make a false move, let's take precautions."

Mo Yuankai listened to the discussions of these courtiers and did not interject, it doesn't matter what kind of thoughts Zhu Guo and Yue Guo have, what matters is whether these two countries dare to make a move against the Western Dynasty.

After discussing for a while, the courtiers asked Mo Yuankai's opinion.

Mo Yuankai said, "There are good generals at the border, what do you do with so much."

The courtiers were right when they thought about it, the border pass had already been arranged, if Zhu and Yue really dared to go to war, it would be these two countries who would suffer.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no hurry in this matter, what is in a hurry is your marriage." A courtier said, "The candidate for this crown princess has not yet been selected, so it is not okay to continue to drag it out like this."

The courtiers nodded one after another: "Indeed, the most important thing now is to elect the crown princess."

Mo Yuankai pressed his jumping eyebrows: "...... The candidate for the crown princess, if it is so easy to choose, do I need to choose for so long? I hope that I can choose a suitable and stable one

Crown Princess, help Gu take care of the backyard."

The courtiers looked at each other, and the daughters of each family were suitable. But the problem is that none of the princes can look at it, so it's troublesome.

"But, Your Highness the Prince, this matter can't be delayed forever. According to the request of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets married, it is time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

"Now the crown princess has not been selected, where is the big wedding?"

Mo Yuankai's expression stiffened slightly, help, he didn't want to inherit the unification so quickly.

"The matter of the crown princess is not in a hurry, and this matter will be discussed again. Okay, if it's okay, I'll retreat." Before the words fell, he had already run away in a puff of smoke.

If he doesn't run, these courtiers can let him elect the crown princess immediately, but he doesn't want it.

However, sometimes the more you don't want it, the more you will get it.

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen decided to stay here for a few days when they passed through a town called Anhua Town.

The couple cleaned up and walked around the street with a few people.

"It's pretty lively here." Tang Yingying looked left and right.

Anhua Town is already a long distance from Guwen Town, and it is much better than the border pass in all aspects, as can be seen from the dress and speech and behavior of the people.

The streets are lined with shops, the air is filled with a variety of scents, accompanied by the cries of high joy and joy, and from time to time you can see cheerful children running by.

Mo Chen carefully protected Tang Yingying in case she was bumped into by someone: "It's really lively. Later, let's go to the restaurant and try the local specialties and see if there is anything you like to eat."

"Also, buy more ingredients, especially vegetables, I think you like vegetables."

Tang Yingying touched her stomach: "Where I like to eat, it's your child who likes to eat." It's almost a two-month-old little thing, and he likes to eat vegetables."

Mo Chen also touched her stomach: "Then what do you like to eat, I'll let people find it."

Tang Yingying is very satisfied with her husband's attitude: "I want to eat something spicy today."

Mo Chen's face is a little weird, the folk say that sour and spicy girls, but the daughter-in-law likes to eat both sour and spicy, is this pregnant son or daughter? How does he prepare what his child will use after birth?

Well, prepare for doubles, and there will be nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant......" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a young woman's ridicule.

"Selling yourself to bury your father? This kind of drama is useless to us!"

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen followed the sound and saw a heroic young woman, looking at a weak woman who sold herself to bury her father with sarcastic eyes.

Tang Yingying was quite interested in the rumored betrayal of her father, and looked at it with great interest, compared to the betrayal of her father on TV in her previous life, the live version of the betrayal of her father was more appropriate, and this woman was more weak.

It's just that the people around obviously don't believe it.

The people around him pointed and pointed.

"This is just coming to our Anhua Town, right? The first time I saw this woman."

"I just came to our town of Anwar. Before these two people came to Anhua Town, didn't they inquire about the situation in our Anhua Town? If you dare to come to our Anhua Town to play this kind of trick, it is almost like looking for death."

The mocking young woman stepped directly on the weakest part of the "corpse" and crushed it a few times.

"Ahh A scream pierced the sky, and the "corpse" curled up on the ground, trembling in pain.

When the weak woman saw that the plan was discovered, she pulled her companion and was about to flee, but was stopped by the onlookers.

"Send the official, send the official! Really, these people are not annoying, they have come to our Anhua Town to make trouble." A few aunts tied up the two of them and threw them on the ground.

The two of them never thought that they relied on this method to make a fortune, but they failed in Anhua Town, what is going on in this ghost place in Anhua Town, why does no one believe them?

The crowd of onlookers gathered around the young woman.

"It's still the eldest lady! If it weren't for the adults and the eldest lady who often sent people to tell us this, many people would definitely be deceived."

"Since the adults came to our town of Anhua, our lives have been much better."

The young woman waved her hand absently, "Don't say that, my dad is right to do these things. If he does not do practical things for the people, I will be the first to spare him."

"Okay, okay, everyone is going to go about their own business, I'll send these two to the yamen to see if they have any accomplices."

She dragged one in one hand and walked in the direction of the county office.

This scene made Tang Yingying have an idea: "Lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't elected the crown princess yet, right?"

As soon as Mo Chen heard this, he knew what his daughter-in-law meant, and he was a little sympathetic to the prince: "It's that he hasn't been selected yet, he's dragging out time." According to what I said before, after his wedding, he will prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

Tang Yingying smiled sheepishly: "What do you think of this woman?"

Mo Chen: "...... Pretty good. However, we need to check first, and we can't just rely on what we see now."

How could Tang Yingying not know this, as soon as she raised her hand, there was a secret guard to check on the situation of this woman and her family.

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen continued to walk.

……

The county office, the place where the county order office.

"Dad, I'm here to send you results." The young woman, that is, Zhang Qianqian, ran into the study happily: "Dad, I just caught two people who sold themselves to bury their father on the street, these two people are simply hateful, and they came to deceive the people."

Zhang Xianling had a headache, and he put down the brush: "Qianqian, didn't I let you stay at home obediently and follow Mama to learn these things?"

After his wife died of illness a few years ago, he was both a father and a mother to pull Qianqian. I thought I would find a suitable person for Qianqian, but ......

Qianqian's temperament is really a headache, and I don't know which family is willing to want her.

Zhang Qianqian pouted: "Dad, I don't want to get married. I told you, I'm going to stay at home with you, I'm not going to marry."

Zhang Xianling was funny and angry: "Can you stay at home with me for the rest of your life?"

"Then I'll do it. I heard from the traveling merchant that there are women's troops in the western capital, and it's okay for me to recruit them." She adores the princess regent, she's so powerful. 「
