Chapter 171 Returning (Second update)
On August 26th, early in the morning, brothers Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu went to the Xinping Marquis Mansion to pick Yuanchun back home.
Even if everyone in the Cheng family hates Cheng Luo, they can only greet him with a smile for the sake of the biggest title in the family.
But when Cheng Luo heard that Wang Ziteng was awarded the title of General Zhennan last night and was about to go to Yuanjiang Mansion in the near future, the brothers were eager to return home.
The King of Jin was appointed as the envoy of Guannan and was about to leave the capital.
In response, both Jia Zhen and Shen Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
One day when he was in Beijing, the two of them always felt that there was a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity behind them.
And Wang Ziteng...
Although Jia Zhen also feels that it would be better if he left, but this person cannot make big waves in Beijing.
Southern Xinjiang is not peaceful, and Wang Ziteng is likely to soar into the sky like Shi Ding there.
At that time, I still don’t know what to do with Aunt Zheng’s noisy energy.
"He didn't write home."
Jia Zhu felt a little complicated, "That's... very good!" At least her mother could feel more at ease.
"Brother, you are right to think so."
Coming out of the intrigues and deceitful palace, Yuan Chun was most afraid of people who stabbed him in the back.
If someone can backstab you once, they can backstab you a second time.
After all, it’s better to be mature than to be raw.
Moreover, if you treat him like that the first time you stab him in the back, the second time... the other party will never give you any way to survive.
"Think about my eldest aunt's family. Cousin Lanzhi can survive. That's her luck."
The cousin was only twenty days away from her.
Yuanchun put himself in Lan Zhi's place, feeling that if she were her, she wouldn't be able to survive at all.
She had to mention her brother, who was often soft-hearted, "Now that the Jia family and the Wang family have fallen out, if you get close to him again, you will unknowingly become a knife used by the Wang family to stab the Jia family."
Yuanchun looked at his brother, "You don't want to be the knife that stabs your own people, otherwise you will only hurt yourself in the end."
In official circles, being soft-hearted is also a taboo.
"Brother, stop thinking about him as your uncle. From now on, just treat him as an acquaintance!"
"...Hmm!"
What can Jia Zhu say?
He could only nod.
Cousin Lanzhi was able to survive because she set a fire at home and surrendered to Mr. Xia, who protected her.
Their home...
Thinking of the old and the young at home, Jia Zhu didn't dare to bet even a little bit.
"Don't worry!"
He held back his thoughts and said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet. Did the old lady of the Cheng family and the Cheng family make things difficult for you?"
Although my sister looks very powerful and Mr. Cheng is very kind, the Cheng family is not a kind place.
The princess was tortured to death in this family, and Cheng Luo cried and asked for help from their family.
So when Jia Zhu asked this question, his eyes were sharp and he looked at his sister carefully, fearing that there was something wrong with her, and he would immediately call the elder brother outside to shake the bench with them.
"Do you think I can be bullied?"
Yuan Chun looked at his brother's appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, the emperor's attitude is there. The Cheng family has no time to praise me and Cheng Luo, so how can we dare to embarrass ourselves? The old lady in the Buddhist hall, We don’t need to say anything, the clan can hold her down.”
"That's good!"
Jia Zhu smiled, "Did you and Cheng Luo go to the palace yesterday to thank you?"
"Hmm!"
Yuanchun doesn't like entering the palace.
She and Cheng Luo first went to greet the Supreme Emperor and received some rewards. The Emperor was very busy, but she didn't see it. However, the Queen sat there for a long time, "In about seven days, my decree as Madam Yipinhou will be issued.
When the time comes, brother, come and drink! ”
While the two brothers and sisters were talking, the drinking outside had ended, and the group headed straight to Rongguo Mansion carrying a bunch of homecoming gifts.
At this time, Shen Ning already knew from Xing'er that Wang Ziteng was awarded the title of General Zhennan.
She was looking at where Yuanjiang Mansion was.
"Grandma!"
Brother Rong felt that his grandmother was fascinated by the map, so he couldn't help shouting.
"What to do?"
"Would it be detrimental to our family if Wang Zitang goes to Yuanjiang Mansion?"
"Our home is far away from Yuanjiang. What's the disadvantage?"
Shen Ning sighed, "I was just thinking that it would be nice if Wang Ziteng was more powerful."
"...Are you worried about war breaking out in southern Xinjiang?"
Brother Rong was relieved, "No, those small countries only dare to make small fuss. With King Nan'an watching over them, there will be no problem at all."
Shen Ning: "..."
She glanced at the silly child and frowned, "Fortunately, the emperor doesn't think like you do."
In Dream of Red Mansions, King Nan'an was defeated.
Even Shi Xiangyun's father-in-law and general Wei died there.
Although it was only mentioned in Xue Pan's words, it can be seen from this that the war at that time was tragic.
Dazhao was undoubtedly defeated.
Otherwise, there would be no chance of getting married.
"Brother Rong, when you look down on others, you are actually not far from defeat."
Shen Ning looked solemn, "The court is as you thought, probably more than half of it."
The emperor in the Red Mansion probably thought so too.
Here...
It was probably King Jin who had gone there. He was worried, so he brought Wang Ziteng there as well.
Wang Ziteng has flaws in his character, but he has abilities.
With him there, even if King Jin and King Nan'an wanted to work together, it wouldn't be that easy.
After thinking about this, Shen Ning didn't know whether to feel lucky or grateful.
"But why don't you think about why people are making trouble when the war in our north is tense?"
Shen Ning wished she could tell the emperor that we couldn't fight the north for the time being, so let's go and get the south. "Some of them have food..."
"We have more people and more food."
Brother Rong said: "Grandma, even if those small countries in the south win for a while, they can't defeat them."
Grandma doesn't have to worry about that at all.
"You only think that they can't be defeated, so why don't you think about getting them into the hands of Dazhao?"
"There is a lot of miasma in the south, and it is not easy to fight..."
Shen Ning: "..." She knew that Brother Rong was telling the truth.
But it’s ripe three times a year there!
The Ming Dynasty once captured Jiaozhi, but had to give up in the end.
The main reason is that the officials sent there have a disdain for the local area and can only rely on local officials for governance. Coupled with the occasional rebellions there, we have to consider the value of controlling Jiaozhi at such a high cost.
Shen Ning sighed.
For the Ming Dynasty, which has huge hidden dangers in the north, Indochina is only a secondary strategic direction, and the main energy must be invested in the Mongolian side of the north.
Dazhao is also following the path of Ming Dynasty.
The main focus is still in the north.
"The food here can be harvested three times a year."
Not to mention other resources, in fact, this alone is enough.
If Wang Ziteng could beat him after being shocked, she would be willing to call him a hero.
"Grandma, our family can no longer be involved in the military."
The food that is harvested three times a year.
In fact, in the handwriting left by my great-grandfather, he was also very ambitious about that place.
The same goes for the former King of Nan'an.
But they all had to give up in the end due to some force majeure reasons.
Now the Emperor is still here, Your Majesty...
Brother Rong hopes that the emperor will not become like the Supreme Emperor in the future.
Then when he grows up, he might be able to find a solution where his great-grandfather regretted and his grandmother looked at him with envy.
"Okay, I just want to talk to you casually."
Shen Ning sighed, "Let's go to Xifu. Your aunt and the others are almost back."
They were preparing to return home from the Three Dynasties of Yuan Chun, but Wang Ziteng was in the palace, looking at the map with the emperor for a long time.
Why did the prince's brother finally become intolerable to his father?
That's because Jiaozhi and Dazhao were once held in hand.
It was just that the King of Nan'an died of a sudden illness at that time.
The father wanted to reduce the military power of King Nan'an even more.
They had problems at home and eventually had to withdraw from that area.
"Wang Aiqing!"
The emperor pointed to the place where he had lost it, "Do you know this place?"
"...I know."
Wang Ziteng's heart was turbulent.
The emperor had just told him about the north, about Shi Ding, and that he would not hesitate to make him a marquis.
The time for Dazhao to be knighted again came again.
This is their warrior's dream.
"This has been my place since the Tang Dynasty. The grave of the great poet Wang Bo was built there."
“Not bad!”
The emperor nodded solemnly, "Although the war in the north is tense at this time, I, Dazhao, are not made of clay."
As an emperor, who doesn’t want to leave a mark in the history books?
He is young and can still do it.
"There are many places here. I heard that food is harvested three times a year."
If we really fight back, food prices will be stabilized immediately.
The soldiers in the north will not have to worry about food and grass.
"My Lord - work hard!"
Wang Ziteng solemnly handed over his hand.
He wants to make great achievements.
He also wanted to earn a duke or marquis for the Wang family.
"I believe in you!"
The emperor patted him on the shoulder.
He believed in his ambition.
He is willing to fulfill his ambition.
"Actually, the Emperor also feels very sorry for these places!"
He was telling Wang Ziteng in a subtle way, just keep doing it, I will never make the same mistake again.
"The current King of Nan'an is a bit weak after all."
The emperor sighed.
Today's King of Nan'an is barely a house-guarding dog.
"Although Brother Jin Wang will also go there, he has never even been on the battlefield."
The emperor was worried a lot.
We are both afraid that they are ‘too capable’ and also afraid that they are ‘too incompetent’.
Especially the latter.
According to reports from his people and his nephew Cheng Luo's people, those goods from the south are just waiting for them to fight with the north for a few more months before they come over.
But King Nan'an still relied on keeping.
He spent more time hugging his little wife than he did in the military camp.
Even when I arrived at the military camp, I was probably thinking about how to earn more free money.
Brother Jin Wang's success in these years was mainly due to his father, but the old man could not accompany him to Guangnan Mansion.
If someone scares you, just run away...
The emperor felt that he would vomit blood.
Brother Jin Wang's status is too high. Once he escapes, the morale of the military and the people there will collapse.
Therefore, it is very important for Wang Zi to occupy this place.
"If anything happens in Guangnan Mansion, you should report it at any time."
"Yes!"
Wang Ziteng bent down deeply.
The monarch and his ministers talked for a long time. When they left the palace, the blood in Wang Ziteng's body was boiling for a while and cold for a while.
The emperor was guarding against the King of Jin and the King of Nan'an.
The emperor was afraid that they would lose the war and make the whole south lose control.
He...
He is going to take the lead!
