After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

Due to the three droughts and five disasters suffered by the Xiongnu, most of their cattle and sheep died, so the Xiongnu attacked the northern border, burned, killed and looted, causing the people in the northern border to die tragically or be seriously injured. The Baiye County of Sinan Prefecture, which was adjacent to the Xiongnu, was occupied by the Xiongnu.

Dou Tong asked his deputy general to properly arrange for the soldiers who were accompanying Jiang Chi to the expedition to Nanxiang Kingdom, then he mounted his horse and galloped to the palace with He Hongkun.

Qin Yan did not return to the Prince's Mansion all night, and asked his personal eunuch Chen Haichao to go back to the Prince's Mansion to tell Lin Luoling to go to bed early.

Lin Luoling, who had recovered from the cold, suddenly felt hot and unbearable, so he asked Hualian and Xiangjin to open the doors and windows wide.

Hualian and Xiangjin did not feel the heat in late autumn, but saw beads of sweat falling on Lin Luoling's forehead. They turned their heads to look at Chen Yin, who took Lin Luoling's pulse and explained to Hualian and Xiangjin:

"Sister Ling'er has been suffering from the cold poison. After taking the antidote, she recovered as usual, but her body suddenly felt the normal heat, which she couldn't accept for a while. I'm afraid it will take three to five days for her to recover as before."

Hearing this, Hualian Xiangjin asked the aunts and palace maids in the backyard to put up screens on the doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from flying into the palace after autumn.

After Gu Shun learned about it, he asked Doctor Pang and asked the cook in the Prince's Mansion to prepare some cool side dishes and fruits and send them to Lin Luoling for tasting.

Lin Luoling took a few bites and suddenly thought of Princess July. Seeing that it was getting late, she asked Gu Shun to find the Silver Feather Guards to bring Princess July back.

Unexpectedly, she did not wait for Princess July to return home in the palace, but Jiang Chi came alone.

After Lin Luoling thanked Jiang Chi again and again, she asked Jiang Chi where Princess July had gone.

Jiang Chi told Lin Luoling that Princess July was called back to the palace by the Queen Mother and should be in Jingshou Palace at this moment.

Afterwards, Jiang Chi drank a sip of the tea that Hualian offered him, and said solemnly, "Sister Ling'er, since you and the Crown Prince have had a grand wedding, and you were previously troubled by the cold poison, after taking the antidote, you should share the Crown Prince's worries."

Lin Luoling asked in confusion: "What does brother mean?"

Jiang Chi took out a piece of rice paper covered with words from his bosom, handed it to Lin Luoling and said: "Although there are constant wars in the southern and northern borders, there will always be a day of peace. Since the establishment of Tianqi Kingdom, it has emphasized military power over culture.

To pacify the outside world, one must first stabilize the inside. There were many ambitious talents in the Tianqi Kingdom, but because they came from humble backgrounds, it was extremely difficult for them to be admitted into the Staff Office. If they did not enter the Staff Office, it would be wishful thinking to want to enter the official career.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes power, if he wants to maintain domestic stability, he will need the assistance of good ministers. These are the talented people I have selected for my sister. My sister can recommend them to the Staff Office to learn for half a year, and then let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose their future direction.

They were recommended by my sister to join the staff office, and they will definitely be of use to my sister in the future, and they are grateful for my sister's kindness."

Lin Luoling opened the rice paper and took a look. There were thirteen names densely written on it, as well as their family backgrounds, personalities, and expertise.

The name leading the group was Yan Jin, a capable subordinate of Lin Mansion’s housekeeper Jiang Feng.

Jiang Chi stopped talking here and said no more. He just said that he was extremely sleepy, yawned three times, and left the Prince's Mansion.

Lin Luoling held the rice paper and looked at it for a long time. She knew that Jiang Chi was doing this for her own good. After all, her grandfather was old, and although her two uncles were officials in the court, their official positions were below the third rank, and her father had no intention of serving as an official in the court.

If she wants to secure her position as queen in the future, she must have a very deep background and status.

But how deep-minded and scheming is Qin Yan?

After thinking it over, Lin Luoling folded the rice paper and put it away, wanting to wait for Qin Yan to return home and find an appropriate time to discuss the matter with Qin Yan.

Unexpectedly, during the morning court session the next day, Emperor Deshun issued three imperial edicts in succession.

The first thing was to posthumously confer the title of Empress Dowager on Concubine Li and bury her in the imperial mausoleum.

The second thing was that the former Queen Mother instigated Prince Rui to plot a rebellion, and the three members of the Jiang family who were imprisoned were exiled to Fencheng Prefecture, and Cheng Sheng was appointed as Prime Minister.

Lin Luoling once heard Qin Yan mention that Cheng Sheng was his tutor, who was excellent in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was resourceful and decisive.

The third thing was that Emperor Deshun was going to personally lead an expedition to the northern border to attack the Huns, with Crown Prince Qin Yan as regent.

I also heard from Gu Shun that Jiang Chi was named General Zhenyuan (a second-rank official) by Emperor Deshun, and it was also the first time that Jiang Chi attended the morning court.

After three consecutive imperial edicts, Emperor Deshun was about to lead the army in person. Although the capital seemed calm, there was actually a lot of discussion among the people.

That night, Emperor Deshun sent Yun Xi to the Prince's Mansion and summoned Lin Luoling to the Zhengde Hall in the palace for dinner.

When Lin Luoling arrived at the Zhengde Hall, she discovered that Emperor Deshun had not only summoned her and Qin Yan to dinner, but also her father and mother, Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong, and Taiwei Cheng Sheng, who had just been appointed Prime Minister.

Emperor Deshun held the Taiwei's hand with one hand and Cheng Sheng's hand with the other, and said, "You two are my son's mentors. You taught him both civil and military skills. When I go to the northern border, you two must assist him well."

Lin Luoling suddenly realized that Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong's father, the Grand Marshal, was actually Qin Yan's mentor.

The Grand Marshal and Cheng Sheng knelt down and vouched for Emperor Deshun, saying that with the two of them assisting Qin Yan, there would be no fighting in the court, and that Emperor Deshun could rest assured that as long as they were still alive, they would ensure the peace and prosperity of the Tianqi Kingdom.

Emperor Deshun personally helped the two of them to stand up, holding the Grand Commandant's hand, looking at Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong, and sighed: "I have too many frustrations in my life, and I have wronged Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong for many years, ah..."

"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first. How can you not feel wronged? It was I who allowed her to enter the palace as a concubine. If Your Majesty had not secretly protected her all these years, how could she have the virtue and ability to live in peace in the harem?" said the general.

Just as she said this, Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong suddenly burst into tears, knelt in front of Emperor Deshun and the Grand Marshal, and said in a sonorous voice:

“Although I am not as kind as Concubine Li, when I first met Your Majesty, I gave my heart to Your Majesty. It was I who begged father and mother repeatedly, and asked father to shamelessly ask Your Majesty to marry me into the palace as a concubine.

Previously, my mother said that she hoped that I could have a heart-to-heart with Your Majesty in the future, just like a married couple. The Empress (Li Fei) has passed away, and she cannot accompany Your Majesty to the northern border. If Your Majesty considers my grievances, Your Majesty can take me with you on this expedition to the northern border. I have nothing more to ask for. "

Speechless and choked with emotion, Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong kowtowed stubbornly. No matter how Emperor Deshun tried to persuade her, she refused to stand up.

Seeing this, the Grand Commandant said to Emperor Deshun: "Since your subject is willing to go with Your Majesty, and her martial arts skills are not bad, Your Majesty will be at ease with her serving you when you go to the northern border. Your Majesty should allow her to go."

Emperor Deshun pondered for a moment and nodded heavily.

The dinner was very heavy, and Emperor Deshun did not force Lin Tingxu to serve as an official in the court. He only asked Lin Tingxu to pay more attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty and secretly assist Qin Yan after the Taiwei and Cheng Sheng left.

Lin Tingxu didn't know why he burst into tears. He knelt in front of Emperor Deshun and choked up, saying, "I am waiting for Your Majesty to return triumphantly in the capital. The previous game of chess has not yet been completed, and I have thought of a way to beat Your Majesty. When Your Majesty returns triumphantly, I will not give up until I win a game against Your Majesty."

Emperor Deshun laughed and patted Lin Tingxu's shoulder heavily.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Luoling noticed that Qin Yan's expression was very solemn. He was no longer chatting and joking with her like he did in the past. After coming out of the palace and arriving at the Prince's Mansion, Qin Yan only said one sentence to Lin Luoling.

That is: "You go to bed early, I will stay in the study tonight."

Lin Luoling pursed her lips and looked at Qin Yan's back for a long time before returning to the bedroom to take a short nap. She got up early, washed up, and entered the palace with Qin Yan.

Concubine Li was named Empress Dowager and her coffin was moved from the concubine's tomb to the imperial tomb.

From before dawn to the end of the tomb relocation and worship, it was already afternoon.

Lin Luoling originally thought that Emperor Deshun would go out to fight early the next morning. Unexpectedly, before their carriage reached the east gate of the capital, they saw 30,000 elite soldiers ready to go, waiting for Emperor Deshun.

Yun Xi had just put on the armor for Emperor Deshun when he heard Du Zhong shout, "The Empress Dowager has arrived."

As the voice fell, everyone looked at the white phoenix snow screen of the empress dowager as she drove out from the east gate.

Emperor Deshun trotted towards the Empress Dowager's white snow screen, knelt on one knee, and called out, "Mother!"

Lin Luoling saw the carriage curtain being pushed aside by Aunt Shi Mi. The Empress Dowager burst into tears and was helped down from the Bailuan Snow Screen. She helped Emperor Deshun up and asked very seriously:

"When will you return?"
