The grass in Guanzhong is already growing and the orioles are flying at this moment, and the dignitaries in Chang'an City like to go out of the city for a spring outing at this time.

Zhou Ning walked slowly in the Imperial Academy, holding a letter in his hand.

This is a letter sent by Yang Xuan from Northern Xinjiang. The letter said that the scenery in Northern Xinjiang has been quite beautiful recently.

——It’s just that one person is missing to accompany you, and I turn a blind eye to the beautiful scenery no matter how much.

After entering the check-in room, Zhou Ning made herself a cup of tea and sat down slowly.

The battle in northern Xinjiang must have been completed by now. Yang Xuan's letter should have been written when he was leaving for the battlefield. But the letter did not mention a word about it, only talking about the scenery and thoughts.

Zhou Ning read the letter again.

"Assistant Teacher Zhou."

Zhou Ning raised his head, "What's the matter?"

There was a clerk outside the door. He turned sideways and said, "Someone is looking for you."

The visitor was Xie Yu, the steward of the Zhou family. Xie Yu, who was in his thirties, looked amiable. When he came in, he bowed slightly and said, "I have met the second lady."

Zhou Ning said calmly: "But something happened?"

Xie Yu nodded, "Alang's condition has improved recently. Lang Jun said that the young lady should go back and see Alang."

Zhou Ning thought of his grandfather Zhou Qin, who had been ill all year round.

When she walked out of the Zhou family's gate that year, her grandfather's eyes were as cold as looking at a stranger. Her father angrily said that if she walked out of the Zhou family's gate, she would never come back.

"But they have found a man worthy of marriage?" There was a hint of sarcasm between Zhou Ning's eyebrows.

Xie Yu looked embarrassed, "It's nothing."

Zhou Ning looked at him, "Yes, or not."

Xie Yu said: "Of course..."

Zhou Ning picked up a volume of medical books and said, "Go back and tell Aye that the Imperial College is busy with lectures. I will wait for a while and then go home to see Aweng."

Xie Yu glanced at her and said with a wry smile: "Second Lady, most of the men our family likes are people with strong backgrounds and have great prospects. Second Lady is getting older now, and it's time to talk about marriage. If you are looking for a mediocre man,

If you are married, you will have to worry about daily necessities for the rest of your life, which will inevitably lead to hardship. Second lady, people live not for hardship, but for enjoyment!"

Zhou Ning glanced at him and said, "Go back."

Xie Yu sighed, "Second Madam, the situation in the court is changing now. The war in Northern Xinjiang is imminent, and I don't know the outcome. It is said in the palace that the prince is hungry and has a skull face... It is better to be at home if there is chaos outside!"

Zhou Ning looked up at him.

"Shall you leave on your own, or shall I beat you out?"

…

In the palace.

Today the emperor summoned his ministers early to discuss matters.

It was a rare occasion for the emperor to be diligent in his duties, so his ministers were naturally happy.

Song Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, was introducing the situation.

"There has been news coming from Northern Xinjiang. The news came the day before yesterday that Huang Chunhui led an army of 80,000 to attack, and that of Northern Liao there was an army of 100,000. Our Ministry of War has also been thinking about this battle for a long time. The army of 80,000 in Northern Xinjiang can be called

All the elites are out. And the Northern Liao army of 100,000 is not weak either. The victory or defeat of this battle depends on the command before the battle."

Then the ministers had a targeted discussion.

Conclusion: Victory or defeat is hard to say.

"I am most worried." Yang Songcheng looked serious, "The Northern Xinjiang Army has not been in battle for several years, so I don't know how strong it is."

This can be said to mean that you can advance, attack, retreat or defend.

If he wins, it means that the abbot is stable. If he loses, it means that the abbot is far-sighted and has long seen the true nature of Huang Chunhui.

The emperor glanced at Wang Douluo.

According to the recent rules, when the head of the country comes up, Wang Douluo will be here.

Sure enough, Wang Douluo coughed dryly, indicating that he had something to say.

He first glanced at Yang Songcheng, "The army of 120,000 in Northern Xinjiang seems huge, but how many troops are there in Northern Liao? Hundreds of thousands. If Huang Chunhui fought in vain in the past, what would happen if he was defeated? Has the state leader ever thought about it?"

Yang Songcheng just smiled.

Zheng Qi stood up and said, "Avoiding and not fighting will only demoralize us."

Wang Douluo sneered, "I said that in the face of Northern Liao, Northern Xinjiang is weak and has no choice but to avoid war. But you said that avoiding war will lead to demoralization. Then it is better to go to war. What if we lose?"

Zheng Qi smiled, "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while..."

"I just want to ask you what if you lose!"

"hehe!"

"You only talk about him right and left. I'll ask you again, what if you lose?"

Zheng Qi naturally couldn't answer.

Wang Douluo said: "If we lose, the situation in northern Xinjiang will collapse in an instant. Once the Liao army goes south, who will resist it? Are you Zheng Shangshu? Or who else?"

When he said this, Wang Douluo looked at Yang Songcheng, the head of state.

The father-in-law was calm and speechless.

"Let's break up."

The emperor gave an order and the dispute ended.

He immediately went to the harem.

"Where is the imperial concubine?"

Han Shitou asked and said, "Your Majesty is resting."

The emperor smiled, "But he is lazy."

The emperor liked the lazy look of the imperial concubine the most, and Han Shitou and others knew this.

"Your Majesty, hot tea."

The palace servants brought tea.

The emperor sat down and someone came to massage his neck.

The emperor squinted his eyes in contentment and suddenly asked: "Is there anything unusual in Huang Chunhui's family?"

"No." Han Shitou replied.

The emperor hummed.

"Huang Chunhui was brave and brave at a young age, and rose through the ranks in the army. Later, he offended his superiors and was driven to northern Xinjiang."

"The former warrior gradually turned into a fox in northern Xinjiang, and was later moved to southern Xinjiang. He stayed there for many years until he returned to northern Xinjiang again."

"Whether it's an old fox or a snake with a black tip, my army cannot hide in the city and act like a turtle and become the laughing stock of the world!"

…

The area outside Chang'an City has now turned into a paradise. The rich and powerful have occupied the best areas for spring outings, while the common people can only choose more remote places.

Dozens of well-dressed men and women were galloping on the road.

"quick!"

Chasing the thrill of speed is human instinct, and these men and women are engaging in a horse racing event at this moment.

Smoke and dust rose in front, and someone shouted: "It's the cavalry."

One man yelled: "Tell them to get lost!"

Someone laughed and said: "Huang Sanlang, if you are brave, go by yourself."

The man cursed: "A bunch of bitch slaves, look at that!"

He galloped over and shouted: "Stay out of the way!"

A few people surrounded by more than a hundred cavalry seemed not to hear these words, nor to see this person, but they kept coming straight ahead.

"Avoid it!"

Huang Sanlang's family had senior military officials, so he dared to intercept the cavalry.

The group of cavalry looked at the old man at the head.

"If it were ten years ago, no one would have dared to stop the government soldiers and kill them without guilt. Times have changed, laws have been weakened, and there are more and more dandies."

The old man looked at the young man beside him, "Yang Xuan, what do you think we should do with this person?"

Yang Xuan said without hesitation: "Break the legs!"

The old man nodded.

A horse rushed over.
