According to the etiquette of Daning, the emperor needs to stop the spirit for 49 days before sending the spirit to bury.

The emperor was young and the empress dowager was young. He felt that if he lied about his brother's relationship, he could handle the orphan and widow.

"Son, I don't understand. Is King Zhao treating us as the Quartet Army? Is he going to die?"

In Lingnan General's Mansion, General Liang Guangliang took the secret report from the palace and was very puzzled.

Zhennan General Liang Zhang snorted coldly: "The Zhenbei Army was made impoverished and incompetent by Chu Huaizhang. However, the army is strong and the horse is strong, but the commander-in-chief, General Deng, is treacherous. No matter who is the emperor of the Chu Dynasty, he must rely on him to guard the border, so he will never participate in the battle for the throne; , and my Lingnan Army..."

Liang Zhang took a sip of the tea in his cup and said, "Chief Governor Qi once helped us to avenge brother Zhu's grievance. The Liang family can't blame him, but no one else knows about this matter, and neither does King Zhao. He only knows that Wan Min of the Supervisory Council planned to frame Zhu General, my southern soldiers hate the eunuchs, but now that the young emperor is on the throne, the court is actually controlled by the governor of Qi, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and we might be able to help him King Zhao."

Liang Guang let out an embarrassing "ah", he was eight feet tall and sat under his majestic father, like a little chicken.

"But my son is married to Yingying... She is Dudu Qi's own sister, so it is impossible for us to follow King Zhao to beat His Majesty."

Liang Zhang smiled: "That's right, that's why King Zhao didn't take the initiative to win us over, but in his eyes, it's my utmost benevolence for me to wait on the sidelines, and it's absolutely impossible to become King Jingqin."

"He guessed wrong."

Under the blue sky, there are waves of yellow sand raised by horseshoes. The Lingnan Army has a neat and orderly appearance, and the red flag is fluttering in the wind. Cavalry, infantry, shields, and spears are heading for the capital from the Lingnan Border Pass.

"Liang Guang!"

"Subordinates are here."

"Daning Border Pass needs to be guarded by a large army. As a father, I can only give you [-] soldiers and horses to enter Jingqin King, and guard the imperial city with [-] forbidden troops in the city, and wipe out the [-] rebels of King Zhao. Do you have any doubts?"

Liang Guang smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

In the 28th year of Taiping, winter.

This year's first snow came earlier than usual, just before the beginning of winter, snowflakes began to float in the sky of the capital.

Suisui likes to play with snow very much, but now he has to learn from the teachers in the cabinet and deal with political affairs with Qi Yu, so he is so busy that he loses the time to play.

The schoolwork is heavy, and the child's spirit is not very good. At night, he will even hide under the quilt, holding Dabai and crying secretly.

Zhou Shuhe was so distressed when he found out, he called those old ministers to Yongning Palace and beat them hard, then turned around and went to Taiji Palace to drag Qi Yu out, and asked him not to put so much pressure on Suisui, not to encourage the growth of seedlings, but instead Harm the physical and mental health of children.

Qi Yu said blankly, "But aren't all students like this?"

He said "take it for granted" all over his face, so that Zhou Shuhe couldn't help but feel that he was making trouble for no reason.

She tentatively said: "Let a child under the age of seven only sleep for three and a half hours a day, eat, play and rest for less than two hours, and spend the rest of his time studying literature, martial arts, and politics. Is it reasonable?"

Qi Yu nodded resolutely: "I was like this when I was young, but I was white and didn't have to study political affairs when I was young. So I also lightened his burden appropriately. Put poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting aside first. Knowledge is the priority."

Zhou Shuhe: "..."

"Continue to reduce the burden!" She said decisively, "The sleep of four hours cannot be less, and I will take an extra half hour every day to play with him. In addition, I have to rest for half a cup of tea every hour to change my mind, It would be foolish to learn like this.”

Qi Yu was not reconciled: "But I have learned this way since I was a child, so I am not stupid."

Zhou Shuhe stared at him: "I think you are very stupid."

In the afternoon of the same day, Sui Sui began to fulfill Zhou Shuhe's new schedule: go out and play.

When the child was brought out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the ministers in the room were moaning and sighing. Master Fan, who was the leader, had a left eye on "a loving mother who loses her son" and a right eye on "hate that iron cannot be made into steel". , Return to the harem as if fleeing, and take Suisui to Yingchun Garden to play.

Among the several royal gardens in the palace, Zhou Shuhe's favorite is the Yingchun Garden.Qi Yu brought her here when the garden was still under construction. He made the swing by himself, and later moved it to the swing in the courtyard of Lanfang Pavilion, and it was moved back when she ascended the throne of queen.Everyone in the palace knew that this was the empress's favorite item, and no one else wanted to compete with her for using it.

Now that she has become the queen mother, no one dares to touch her things.

Of course, except Sui Sui.

The child cheered and rushed over, sat down on the wooden board, and didn't need anyone to help push it. He took two steps back with his feet, raised his legs and flew up.

Leaving his old mother alone to endure Qi Zhangyin's moans and sighs.

"Enough, Qi Yu," Zhou Shuhe gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think your eyes are more restrained than Mr. Fan and the others? Why can't the child succeed after learning and playing for a while? It's not that he is not allowed to learn, he can combine work and rest. Learn better!"

Qi Yu shook his head and sighed, hesitant to speak, his expressions and movements gradually coincided with the figures of the old ministers.

Zhou Shuhe endured and endured, couldn't bear it anymore, quickly squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of snow, stood up and stuffed it into his collar.

Qi Yu shuddered and turned pale with shock: "You—"

Zhou Shuhe raised his hand again and stuffed the remaining half cluster of loose snow into his mouth.

Qi Yu: "..." He didn't dare to speak anymore.

Seeing this scene, Sui Sui, who was swinging on the swing, almost couldn't sit still. Zhou Shuhe hurried to pick it up, but saw the child rolling forward, and clapped his hands to get up vigorously.

And threw a very uncompact snow ball on her face.

"..."

As soon as the snow ball came into contact with Zhou Shuhe's forehead, it fell apart. The old mother's brows were stained with white snow seeds, and she turned to look at Qi Yu with a serious face: "Why don't you take him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to continue studying?" Come on, what are you playing, make a fuss!"

Of course, this was just a moment of anger. The opportunity to play that I had finally won would not be canceled just by canceling it.

It's just that Sui Sui didn't understand, so he hurriedly hugged her leg to plead for mercy, but Zhou Shuhe held his grudge very much, pretended to be unmoved, and secretly saved a few snowballs, one bit the child's forehead, and the other A young man who took aim at the young man who was having fun next to him.

In the end, the three of them had a snowball fight with great enthusiasm. The hot body temperature melted the ice and snow, and it was hard to tell which was snow and which was sweat.

When the wind blows over the tall trees, snowflakes flutter like jade foam, falling on the shoulders of the people under the trees.

After playing around for half an hour, Zhou Shuhe reminded the elders and the younger to go back to bathe in hot water to avoid catching cold, and change their clothes before going to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.I also soaked in the soup for a while, and returned to the Yongning Palace where the earth dragon was burned comfortably, and looked through the memorials of the past few days before going to the case.

One of them caught her attention.

"The Great Northern Chill..."

The weather in the past two years has been colder than usual, and this year it has been cold since the end of summer. This is the case in the capital, and even worse in the north.

In this way, it is necessary to prepare some materials for cold disasters, such as firewood, carbon, cotton and grain, etc., to send to disaster relief.

Zhou Shuhe rubbed the booklet up and down with her thumb, her intuition was more than that, there must be something wrong, before she could figure out why, she saw Chunye hurried into the palace.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the army that 15 troops from Beidi have crossed the border and raided, and the border has been lost. Your Majesty and all the adults are discussing matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Please discuss this matter together."

Zhou Shuhe was astonished.

In the previous life, Beidi entered the country ten years later.

In the 37th year of Taiping, Ning Wang Chu Chengji succeeded to the throne. In another year, the new emperor died. Zhenbei Wang Chu Huaizhang ascended to the throne with the support of Beidi, and changed his name to Jiancheng.After ascending the throne, Emperor Jiancheng ceded nine cities in the north, and then five prefectures and three provinces.

But to be precise, Beidi did not invade the border of Daning at that time. The land and people were given to them by Chu Huaizhang with a big wave of his hand, but the Di people are animals that cannot be fed enough. If you give him a city, they still have to eat Xiazhou Province, give it to other states, and they will start to covet the whole world.

Faint rulers and treacherous ministers, the people live in dire straits.

But in this life, Beidi attacked Daning ten years earlier, the reason is actually not hard to guess.

The northern border is extremely cold, and Beidi is north of Daning. The extreme cold is unbearable for men, women, and livestock. In the previous life, His Royal Highness King Zhenbei sent warm cotton clothes to keep them warm. They can continue to recuperate without expending troops and looting. Ning the whole country.

But now, there is no body left of Chu Huaizhang, and Di Ren has not received any "tribute" from Daning for three full years. The weather is cold and supplies are in short supply, and he still has armor and weapons that have been stored for more than ten years. Just like a pack of wolves whose eyes are green with hunger and their claws are sharp enough—they start planning to kill the tiger.

What's more, the tiger in the north of Daning was corrupted from the inside by Chu Huaizhang.

This is the best time for Beidi to attack.
