After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"Let them in."

After Qin Yaoguang finished his instructions, he gave Chun Ning a mischievous smile and said, "Look at what this is called. Speak of the devil and he will appear."

Chun Ning blushed slightly, and said angrily, "Hasn't my brother-in-law arrived too?"

Over the past year, Yan Changqing's character as the man chasing his wife has remained intact, but outsiders all thought that the princess was just too angry and had been treating him harshly.

"How are they the same? We have been married for more than ten years, but you are still an engaged couple."

Qin Yaoguang spoke lightly, ignoring the fact that they had not yet had their wedding night.

As expected, Chun Ning was defeated and didn't dare to continue joking with her. She stood up and asked Lan Qiao to help her put on her clothes and put on a light and breathable pomegranate red gauze robe.

If you want to meet your fiancé, you have to look pretty.

Thanks to his long-term morning exercises and the approaching wedding, Chunning looks in great shape.

A pretty little face as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a hint of girlish innocence amidst her mature charm, this is the best time for a woman.

With such a beauty, who would care that she is getting married for the second time?

As soon as Su Ziyu saw Chun Ning, he still looked like a fool, just like when they first met.

It was as if the passage of time had only increased his age and experience, but had not changed anything, especially the feelings in his heart.

The Empress Dowager's willingness to allow Chun Ning to marry, and Qin Yaoguang's approval of this marriage were inseparable from Su Ziyu's deep love.

The sister who has experienced Lu Yi's PUA deserves someone who loves her deeply, a happy marriage, and a happy and sweet second half of her life.

She is content to see her sister living a good life.

"You just got off work, why are you here?"

Chun Ning glared at Su Ziyu, as if blaming him for being too clingy, but honey was flowing in her heart, and she felt very sweet and enjoyed it.

This feeling was something Lu Yi had never given her before.

In front of Lu Yi, she always felt useless and incompetent. If he could look at her more, it would be a great blessing from heaven, which would make her happy for several days.

Whenever he thought of this, Chun Ning became more grateful to his imperial sister.

If the imperial sister hadn't whipped her, she would still be living in the dream.

Now she is beautiful and charming, with charming eyes and eyebrows, and her every move is attractive to Su Ziyu.

"me……"

Su Ziyu only glanced at her and began to stutter: "I heard that you came to the Royal Sister's place, so I came to take you back to the palace."

He just didn't think very well when he met Chun Ning, but as a person with the talent of a top scholar, how could he not be smart and clever?

For example, before they got married, he had already started calling Qin Yaoguang "Royal Sister".

"Go."

Qin Yaoguang waved with a smile and sent Chun Ning and Su Ziyu away.

Yan Changqing, who had been standing nearby, finally stepped forward. There was a hint of sadness between his brows, and he forced a smile when he looked at Qin Yaoguang.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yaoguang asked.

Yan Changqing pressed his eyebrows and said, "This morning, a messenger from the Western Region Shazhou broke through the Tubo blockade and came to the court, bringing good news."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Dajing Kingdom, it took advantage of its strong military power to attract the countries in the Western Regions to submit to it. The imperial court took advantage of the situation to establish the Anxi Protectorate and stationed troops and appointed officials.

It's just that the good times don't last long.

After the two dynasties, the Northern Rong rose and the border defense of Dajing became weak, so Tubo secretly expanded its military and made small moves.

As one side gained strength while the other declined, Tubo gradually encroached on the Hexi states including Shazhou, leaving the Anxi Protectorate in name only.

Dajing was out of reach, so the countries in the Western Regions had to rely on Tubo.

This situation continued until the Xuanhua reign of the previous emperor.

The late emperor worked hard to govern the country and made use of the Yan family externally, intending to completely defeat the Northern Rong, and then look for an opportunity to recapture Shazhou and rebuild the Anxi Protectorate; internally, he reorganized the government and wanted to subdue the aristocratic families for his own use through reform.

But the step was too big and affected too many interests, which eventually triggered the conspiracy of Ruyang King and Xie Shu to resist.

The late emperor died before he could complete his career.

All the burdens fell on Yan Changqing, who was only 19 years old, and the victory over Beirong was delayed for a full ten years.

The Tibetan royal family and nobles were arrogant and extravagant, their rule was brutal, and they oppressed small vassal states, making them miserable. It was far less peaceful than the Dajing Dynasty, where they only needed to pay tribute on time in exchange for the protection of the suzerain state.

The countries in the Western Regions had already had other ideas, which is why the Yuezhi Kingdom immediately surrendered after Yan Changqing conquered the Northern Rong.

However, the Hexi area including Shazhou, the core area of ​​Anxi Protectorate, and eleven states including Guazhou, Xizhou, Yiwuzhou and Liangzhou were still ruled by Tubo.

Happiness is the comparative degree.

The people of Hexi were brutally ravaged by Tubo. The young and strong were reduced to slaves, the old, young and weak were killed, and women were regarded as the rulers' exclusive delicacy. The useless and those who dared to resist had their hands and eyes cut off and were abandoned in the desert.

The Hexi Corridor, which was once rich in grass and water, is now in a state of desolation with people living in dire straits.

The people are longing to return home.

The good news that Yan Changqing mentioned was that the Suo family, a family of nobles in Shazhou for generations, had produced a brave and resourceful general named Suo Jibu.

He took advantage of the civil strife in Tubo, united with local famous families such as the Zhang and Li families, and gained the support of Buddhist monks. When the time was right, he launched an uprising and successfully expelled the Tubo defenders.

After the Tubo retreated, they gathered troops from the surrounding areas and surrounded the sandbar, trying to trap them to death and recapture the city.

In the crisis, Suojibu led his soldiers out of the city to fight, and defeated Tubo in a bloody battle, and finally gained a foothold on the sandbar.

This turmoil caused major changes within Tubo, and the rebels temporarily gained a chance to survive.

But Suojibu knew very well that this was not a long-term solution.

If Tubo is given a chance to catch its breath, Shazhou will find it difficult to escape their clutches.

So he sent twelve teams of envoys to the capital of Dajing to report the victory and request the court to send troops to recover the eleven prefectures in Hexi.

The battle to recapture Shazhou took place in late summer last year, and Liangzhou and other areas were still controlled by Tubo.

These twelve teams of envoys set out in early autumn last year, and after going through numerous hardships, only this team finally bypassed the desert and arrived at the border town ruled by Da Jing. After traveling for more than a month, they arrived in Beijing recently and were arranged by the Honglu Temple to attend the court this morning.

The rest of the messengers with missions were never seen alive or dead.

Or they may be lost in the desert and unable to resist the power of nature.

Some were captured by Tubo and met a miserable end.

Behind the good news of retaking Shazhou, one general’s success was achieved at the cost of thousands of lives.

Yan Changqing finished recounting the battle that took place on the sandbar in a calm and slow tone. In front of Qin Yaoguang, he didn't need to hide anything.

He knew that she would understand his heavy heart.

Yes, it’s great news!

With the Yuezhi Kingdom surrendering first and the Shazhou uprising later, the situation in the Western Regions was about to be opened up again.

There is hope for the unfinished work of our ancestors.

But he himself was a general leading troops to guard the border, and he knew well the price he had to pay in order to achieve victory.

Those who died on the battlefield were their mothers' sons and their wives' husbands, but their families would never see the day when they would return home.

All he could do was to try his best to obtain pensions for them and then send someone to deliver them to them to prevent them from being corrupted.
