These years of being the queen mother!

The winter in the first year of the apocalypse came earlier than in previous years, and just after late autumn, the Forbidden City was surrounded by the intruding cold current.It was so cold that day, even though I put on a quilted jacket and skirt, and a thick cloak and cloak made of animal fur, I still felt the bone-chilling chill.But after the early winter, heavy snow fell from the sky one after another, flooding most of the Forbidden City.

It was too cold this day, and the road was covered with snow. For the sake of safety, Yang Mingda, who was staying and recuperating at the Liaodong General Army Mansion, even though he missed his sister very much and wanted to rush to the capital as soon as possible to meet her, he had no choice but to He didn't listen to the words of Xiao Huangmen sent by Wei Zhongxian, stayed in Liaodong through this cold winter, and set out on the road when the weather warmed up and the snow on the road melted.

The news of Yang Mingda's delay was transmitted to the capital through Jinyiwei, and after Wei Zhongxian told Yang Lingyue personally, Yang Lingyue was disappointed at first, regretting that the reunion between the two siblings would be delayed for a while, and thankful that Yang Mingda was not in a hurry to go out in this weather Rush to the capital to meet her. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the current road conditions. Yang Lingyue would rather see Yang Mingda later than hear the news that Yang Mingda was in a hurry and had an accident on the road. After all, this winter in the first year of Tianqi is really It's too cold, it's like going through the Little Ice Age...

and many more...

Little Ice Age...

Yang Lingyue, who was holding a hand warmer to keep warm, froze, and suddenly her eyes widened.She remembered that in her previous life, when she was listening to a history professor talk about Ming history, the old academic professor in their school who focused on Ming history once said that in the Ming Dynasty and the Chongzhen era, there were not only external troubles and internal troubles, but also the Houjin (Qing) outside the customs. There are constant peasant uprisings, coupled with the very unfortunate encounter with the Little Ice Age, the annual drought caused most of the fields to lose their crops, and the Ming court imposed various levies and miscellaneous taxes in an endless stream. demise.

Yang Lingyue adjusted her sitting posture on the kang, still holding the hand-warming stove in her hand.Yang Lingyue was thinking about one thing.Nomads have always had the tradition of grazing valleys. The land of Liaodong is close to the outside of the pass. Whenever it is the season of grazing valleys, Liaodong, which is close to the outside of the pass, bears the brunt of the brunt and is often looted.

This winter is colder than in previous years. Don't think too much about it. Every winter, when the pastures are frozen and the nomads face lack of food and clothing, they will definitely plan to go south and loot the three provinces of Liaodong.However, with the fighting power of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they must not be able to effectively stop the Houjin Eight Banners soldiers who are all soldiers and invincible.

Once a war breaks out, the current most secure General Military Mansion will inevitably become unsafe, and the personal safety of Yang Mingda, who temporarily lives in the General Military Mansion, will inevitably become very unsafe.No, she must find a way!Yang Lingyue, who couldn't sit still more and more thought about it, got up suddenly, and hurriedly walked out the door.Even if Yang Mingda cannot be successfully taken away from Liaodong, Wei Zhongxian, the grandfather, should go to Liaodong by himself, or send trusted men to Liaodong.

As soon as Yang Lingyue rushed out the door, the cold air that hit her made her shiver all over.Chunlai suddenly grabbed a brocade and feather satin cloak with emerald patterns and put it on Yang Lingyue, and said hurriedly, "Mother, where are you going in this cold day?"

"Go to Eunuch Wei's place."

Yang Lingyue replied, and hurriedly asked Xia Shi to prepare the sedan chair, and then took the sedan chair to the Erjin small courtyard where Wei Zhongxian lived alone in the palace.When they arrived, Ke Baba was not there, so Ke Baba must have been carefully serving Zhu Youxiao, the little ancestor who was not yet weaned, in Qianqing Palace.Yang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief without having to face Ke Baba's yin and yang aura. After saying hello to Wei Zhongxian quickly, she immediately revealed her reason for coming.

"Grandfather, let someone go to Liaodong."

Wei Zhongxian was puzzled by Yang Lingyue's sudden words.Wei Zhongxian looked at Yang Lingyue, and asked indifferently: "Didn't Brother Ming send a message to say that this cold winter will set off to return to the capital? Why are you today..."

"Didn't Grandfather feel that this year's winter is colder than previous years?" Yang Lingyue interrupted Wei Zhongxian and said in a hasty tone. "In March, it was reported that the Houjin Khan Hachi led the army to capture Shenyang. Although Shenyang was saved after the death battle of the commander-in-chief You Shigong and He Shixian, it does not mean that the Houjin army will not make a comeback. You have to know that the pack of wolf cubs outside the pass have a tradition of hunting grass valleys. Brother Ming is still in Liaodong, grandfather, I am really afraid..."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's face also became serious.What Yang Lingyue said is true. The nomads outside the customs do have a tradition of threshing grass. The weather this year is colder than in previous years. The pastures are frozen, and livestock such as cattle and sheep will surely die in large areas. At that time, it will be for the winter of the entire nation. , the great Khan named □□Hachi in the later Jin Dynasty will definitely go south to attack the three provinces of Liaodong.There are eggs under the overturned nest. At this time, the battle in Liaodong is coming together. How can Yang Mingda, who is staying in the general army's mansion, be affected? Wei Zhongxian only has such a grandson to carry on the family, so he can't just explain it like this In Liaodong.No, he had to find a way to send cronies to increase the defense of the three provinces of Liaodong.

In March of the first year of the Apocalypse, the Houjin Great Khan □ Hachi led the army to capture Shenyang. However, it was different from the history. Because of the existence of Yang Mingda in Liaodong, Wei Zhongxian paid more attention to it. Compared with the historical situation, the direction of food and payment Layers of deduction, it is very happy to give the score.With sufficient food and wages, the combat effectiveness of the army has improved a lot compared to before. At least the commander-in-chief You Shigong and He Shixian died in battle, and they did not die in battle like in history.You Shigong and He Shixian defended the city to the death. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin, Zhang Mingshi and others led troops to rescue them. Walk.

Although the battle was tragic, it was won in the end.When the news spread back to the government and the public, the civil and military ministers and the people all beat drums and celebrated. Under the singing and dancing, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who thought they had won the battle forgot to strengthen the defense of the three provinces of Liaodong.

Of course Wei Zhongxian was the same, originally he thought that the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty had been emboldened by the bravery of the Ming army, and they would not go south to invade the three provinces of Liaodong in a short time.But how to say, Wei Zhongxian counts the heavens and the earth, and this year's winter came so early and so cold. Once the pastures are frozen and cattle and sheep die on a large scale, it is difficult for the wolf cubs who live on the grassland to survive. Let's play a game of playing Grass Valley.At that time, the army of the three provinces of Liaodong, which is in a state of arrogance, will undoubtedly be defeated. Second, the wolf cubs whose eyes are reddened by survival, no matter whose grandson you are, Yang Mingda, everyone understands the truth that rare goods can live. Mingda has no such value!After all, Yang Mingda's grandson did not recognize Wei Zhongxian!

It is said that smart people are good at making up brains. Wei Zhongxian is a smart guy. This brain making up not only shocked himself, but also scared Yang Lingyue who was waiting for him to make a decision.

"Grandfather, why don't you work harder and go to Liaodong in person? It's not that my granddaughter doesn't trust your cronies, but at this time, my granddaughter can only rely on and trust you!"

Yang Lingyue spoke with sincerity, and Wei Zhongxian was particularly moved by what he said.Wei Zhongxian thought for a while again, and said somewhat tangled: "It's okay for this old bone of grandfather to go to Liaodong in person, but in what name, you can't just say take your grandson home."

Hearing this, Yang Lingyue had an idea: "Naturally, it is to reward the army on behalf of the Holy One. The land of Liaodong is bitterly cold, and the soldiers who built the garrison there have worked hard, not to mention that they just won a battle not long ago. Grandfather will take the place of Long Live Lord." Liaodong, if you reward them, it can be regarded as giving Long Live God a good name for being kind to the people and treating his subordinates well."

"You're so cute, you actually did this for Brother Ming. That's all, an old bone from the Miscellaneous family will take this trip to Liaodong for the sake of you two."

Who is Wei Zhongxian, so he naturally knows Yang Lingyue's intention in saying these words, apart from worrying about other people, it is nothing more than to improve his reputation as a courtier.What he, Wei Zhongxian, an eunuch is looking for is nothing more than power and status.Now that he has power and status, all he lacks is an heir who can inherit the Wei family.

This girl Yang Lingyue has all kinds of scheming and tricks, but it's a pity that she is a girl.According to her heart, she can go to the end in the harem without his secret planning and support, but the process is much more difficult.As for Yang Mingda, he is generous and upright. Compared with Yang Lingyue, he is only a child who can carry on the family line, and a sister who really thinks about him and plans everything for him.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian was quite satisfied with Yang Lingyue's little 'calculation' against him.He believed that as long as the two siblings watched and helped each other, the Wei family would surely become relatives of the emperor and prosper.
