My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 677 The Last Battle (5)

Wang Lin did not give Yan Qing and Yang Yizhong any specific combat objectives and missions.

They just ordered them to go deep into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin and harass all parts of the Kingdom of Jin, so that the Jin people could not sleep well.

When the time is right in the future, we will attack the Hebei Yan army inside and outside to complete the war of destroying the country of Jin.

At the same time, Wang Lin also ordered Goryeo to send 3 troops to support the action of [-] Jinyi cavalry.

In addition, the Mongolian tribes such as the Qiyan tribe, the Borjijin tribe, and the Tatar tribe that were subject to Dayan also formed a coalition army to calmly attack and force the Jin Kingdom's rear, also focusing on harassment.

Now most of Jin Guo's troops are used on the front line of Hebei.

The rear is empty, and the hinterland is empty. As long as the rear is restless, the Jin people's war in Hebei will definitely be greatly affected.

Therefore, although Wang Lin has not yet issued an edict for the general mobilization of the whole country, in fact, most of the military forces that Dayan can currently mobilize have been mobilized to deal with this final battle.

……

in the palace.

Queen Han Yan's palace was completely silent, because Queen Han Yan was in a bad mood today, and everyone in the palace was wise not to touch the queen's bad luck.

Han Yan did not expect that two officials recommended by her natal Han family to serve in overseas Haidong Province were rejected by the emperor, and then they found her.

The people who came were her cousin Han Lin and her cousin Song Shi.

Not to mention that Han Yan never interfered in government affairs, especially when it involved the appointment and removal of officials in the DPRK and China, which was a big taboo.

How dare Han Yan make irresponsible remarks on what the emperor has already stated?

Han Lin and Song returned home angrily, and when they left, they inevitably said a few unkind words because they were unhappy, which directly made Han Yan feel very bad.

But she was also helpless.

Her natal family is not only grandparents Han Jiayan and his wife, father Han Shu and his wife, but also a large family.

What made Han Yan even more dissatisfied was that after Hanlin and Song Shi left, her mother Xue Shi came into the palace not long after.

Among the two people recommended by the Han family, one is Han Tao, Han Yan's cousin and husband of the Song family.

One is Xue Kai, Xue's natal nephew.

Looking at her mother's eagerness to plead for the two of them repeatedly, Han Yan slightly frowned.

She was a little puzzled, as relatives of the Han family, it was not difficult for the two of them to become officials in the court, why they chose to work in overseas barbarians.

Han Yan sighed and said, "Mother, it's not that my daughter is unwilling to help, but that His Majesty does not allow the harem to interfere in politics, and His Majesty has already publicly stated at today's court meeting that foreign relatives are not allowed to go overseas. What do you want my daughter to say?"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile on her face: "Empress, Xue Kai is your cousin. He has been in Renzhi County, Henan Province for two or three years, and he should be promoted, but usually because of his status as a foreign relative, he is always selected by the court... So, this This Haidong Province is his chance. It would be the best if he can be promoted to an official position. If not, he will be satisfied even if he is transferred at the same level.

Empress, as you know, there is only one nephew in my mother's family, and I don't have any relatives.How can I ignore your cousin who came to me and pleaded repeatedly? "

Han Yan smiled wryly: "Mother, Your Majesty has said that we are not allowed to wait for the female relatives to get involved in this matter. How can you let your daughter intercede with His Majesty?"

"Empress, it's not that old age makes it difficult to be an empress, but...Since your Majesty ascended the throne and became emperor, almost no relatives of my Han family have entered the court, that is, your brother is the only one. You are the Empress of Dayan, the mother of the world. Could it be that your majesty Can't I give you some face? You have to know that Xue Kai is your cousin. Everyone in the world knows and is watching. If he..."

Mrs. Xue was still about to say something, but Han Yan stood up slowly with a cold face and said: "Mother, don't mention this matter anymore. As for the matter of cousin's official position, as long as he works hard, the court will definitely not neglect him. If mother still Don't worry, let the boy choose a suitable opportunity in the future, and talk to His Majesty again."

Han Yan is about to see off the guests.

Such an attitude is already the biggest concession Han Yan can make as a queen.

Xue's face turned red, and she fell silent.

She didn't expect that her daughter, her own daughter, would not give her any face.

She went to the palace, but there was still no result.

In her opinion, even if Han Yan perfunctory her and told His Majesty about this matter, her face can block it, and she can also respond to her natal nephew's plea.

But Han Yan directly refused.

Xue's face became a little worried.

But the daughter Han Yan's mother is the Queen of Dayan. Although she is Han Yan's biological mother, when it comes to national etiquette, she is a subject.

Is there any reason for the subordinates to resent the master.

Xue got up resentfully, bowed hastily, turned around and left the palace.

However, before she could leave the main gate of the palace, she bumped into the emperor's guard of honor head-on.

Shangguan Qing saw Xue's haste, and a cold look appeared on her pretty face, she shouted: "Your Majesty is here, idlers stay away!"

Xue's face turned pale with shock, and she hurriedly went down to pay her respects: "My concubine Xue, long live my emperor's visit, long live!"

Seeing that it was Han Yan's mother, Wang Lin smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "Madam Han, please get up!"

Mrs. Xue kowtowed again and again in fear and complied with the etiquette before getting up and stepping aside. Wang Lin took two steps forward, then stopped and looked at Mrs. Xue with a smile, "Mrs. Han came to visit Yan'er in the palace. After half an hour, come and go? Why don't you go back with me, and our family will have a family dinner before going!"

How dare Xue refuse the emperor's invitation, even though she is not in the mood to eat.

But she walked back to the palace step by step behind the emperor. Seeing the charming and lovely daughter Han Yan kneeling down with two maids to salute and then being hugged by the emperor affectionately, she was suddenly surprised: why did the emperor know that she had just entered the palace? , less than half an hour before and after?

Xue is not a fool.

As the daughter-in-law of the Han family and the future mistress of the Han family, she immediately realized that this was because the emperor was paying attention to the movements of the Han family.

In other words, the emperor knew that the Han family would definitely come to the palace to find Han Yan, so the emperor came to the palace of his daughter Han Yan by coincidence.

As Xue thought about it, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from her smooth forehead.

Wang Lin looked at Mrs. Xue with a smile, "Mrs. Han, please sit down. There are no outsiders here. We are all a family, so there is no need to be formal."

Xue said respectfully: "How dare a concubine be rude in front of His Majesty and the Empress."

Wang Lin smiled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, Shangguan Qing, I will give you a seat for Mrs. Han."

……

Seeing the maids and deacons retreating from the screen in Han Yan's dormitory, Wang Lin nodded slightly and said, "I know Madam entered the palace, presumably because of Xue Kai's appointment in Haidong Province."

Xue was sweating coldly and didn't dare to say more.

Wang Lin looked at himself and said slowly: "It's not that I don't care about relatives, but it's just that the overseas territory is initially determined, and a large number of capable and hard-working cadres are needed to govern Dongpu. I asked Li Gang specifically about Xue Kai. Although he can be regarded as hardworking, but he does things exaggeratedly and makes great achievements. He is an official in various states in the Central Plains.

But delaying the important affairs of the family and the country, not to mention Xue Kai, even I can't afford it. "

Xue couldn't take it anymore, knelt down on the ground and mourned: "The concubine is guilty, the concubine doesn't know Xue Kai's conduct as a man and an official, it's really..."

Wang Lin fell silent, and motioned for Han Yan to help Xue Shi up.
