Ningguo Mansion, the back house, and the halls are filled with warm and pleasant fragrance, and as far as the eye can see, there are beautiful pearls and beautiful eyes.

Qin Keqing, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and the You family were sitting together. Sister Feng and Ping'er were also talking, and Xiangling was sitting not far away.

As for Chai Dai and other Yingying Yanyans, they moved into the Grand View Garden yesterday under the control of Sister Feng.

Baochai and Baoqin lived in Hengwuyuan, Daiyu lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Tanchun and Xiangyun lived in Qiu Shuangzhai, Yingchun and Xing Xiuyan lived in Zhujin Tower, Xichun lived in Ouxiang Pavilion, and Miaoyu went to Hua.

Cui'an, while the two sisters Zhenlan and Zhenxi live in Qichiyuan.

It is worth mentioning that at the instigation of Jia Mu, Li Wan took his two cousins, Li Wen and Li Qi, and moved into Daoxiang Village.

Otherwise, this garden would really have been built for the Dongfu, and the Xifu had spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on it.

Under the slender willow-leaf eyebrows, You Sanjie's increasingly beautiful face was painted with light makeup, and her lips were slightly moist. She said softly: "Sister, isn't the uncle coming back today?"

Since that day, I have never met the uncle again, let alone the newlyweds. They are inseparable.

Alas, she must have failed to make her uncle happy that day. She didn't know what happened that day. She originally wanted to try her best, but she abandoned her armor and was defeated.

Qin Keqing said softly: "He said he would stay in the Beijing camp for a few days to handle military affairs."

I don't know if she was in Beijing Camp or somewhere else. Now that she's back in Beijing, she has been spending less time together and more separation. I don't know if there is any movement in her stomach.

Third Sister You said with a somewhat resentful tone: "Uncle Heng has been so busy just a few days after returning to Beijing."

You glanced at her sister and said, "Third sister, state affairs cannot be ignored."

How can a man stay in a gentle countryside all day long?

Qin Keqing turned to ask: "Sister-in-law You, have you got all the new year purchases?"

You turned her quiet and beautiful face, her eyes filled with autumn water. The young woman was dressed in a light blue dress, with an elegant and clean temperament, and said softly: "It's all done."

Qin Keqing suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Don't forget Sister-in-law You over there in the garden."

Youshi said "hmm" and then said, "My lord, recently there have been quite a few ladies from military generals' families who want to see you."

"It's not a New Year or a festival, that's all. Let's meet at a time in the next two days." Qin Keqing said softly with her beautiful eyes flowing.

As the wife of Marquis Wu, it seems that she should also see these imperial orders.

"Then I told them." Youshi said softly.

Sister Feng looked at the few people talking with a smile, but she felt a sense of envy in her heart. It was so lively and harmonious, so much better than her deserted little courtyard.

While talking, the nanny under the eaves said: "Grandma, the uncle is back."

Several people who were sitting down to talk got up and looked towards the screen. Even Sister Feng stared at it.

Qin Keqing asked: "Where is the uncle now?"

"As soon as the uncle came back, he went to the study room." The grandma said.

Qin Keqing thought for a while and said, "Let the kitchen cook make some food and we can use it together later."

She was thinking about going back to her parents' house to visit her relatives later, and she didn't know if her husband was free.

In the study, Jia Heng took off the black cloak he was wearing and handed it to Qingwen. He raised his eyes to look at Tanchun who was approaching and asked, "Third sister didn't go to the garden?"

Tan Chun smiled and said: "There is nothing interesting in the garden. It has been very cold these two days, so I came here with Sister Lan to read for a while. Why is Brother Heng staying in Jingying these days?"

"We are training troops to prepare for war." Jia Heng smiled and said softly: "Get some meat later and roast it in the garden."

A couplet of poems about barbecue at Luxue'an, and a visit to Miaoyu to beg for red plums.

Well, I haven't seen Miaoyu for a while, so I guess Master Tai is secretly resenting her at the moment.

Under Zhen Lan's eyebrows, her bright eyes flickered, and she said: "Brother Heng, I heard from people outside that Mr. Yang Ge has left Beijing."

Compared with Bao Qin, who was absent-minded for several days after getting intimate with Jia Heng, Miss Zhen's third daughter, who also lost her first kiss, was not too affected mentally.

"I saw it when I came back." Jia Heng washed his hands in the basin, took the hand towel delivered by Qingwen, wiped the water stains, and said softly: "The court situation a year ago was not peaceful again."

As soon as Yang Guochang left, the position of the first assistant was vacant, and the court paid attention to it. However, the position of the first assistant was usually not recommended by the court, but by special decree. If it were filled according to the usual rules, the result would probably be that the second assistant Han Huang would take over.

The Zhejiang Party has gained momentum since then.

The Emperor is bound to make some adjustments, but he just doesn't know which way to check and balance the Zhejiang Party. Maybe it's him?

There are personnel changes in the cabinet and the imperial court. He will not interfere at the moment. He has gone to the capital camp these days for the purpose of hiding. At his level, he also needs to act cautiously.

Looking at the young man who was looking thoughtful, Zhen Lan's heart moved slightly and asked: "There is a vacancy for the chief minister of the cabinet. Who do you think Brother Heng will take over?"

Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, nodded and said: "This depends on the palace's plan. We will know in a few days. It is not easy to discuss it now."

Regarding the personnel changes in the cabinet, he knew in his heart that it was not a good idea to expose the emperor's intentions and the discord of the courtiers to Zhen Lan now.

This youth version of Mopan is quite curious about this matter.

As Jia Heng drank the fragrant tea, his thoughts could not help but fly to Jinling thousands of miles away.

Mopan and Xueer didn't know what to do in Jinling, so they found an excuse to visit their mother and son a few years ago.

Zhen Lan looked at the young man who was looking thoughtful, licked her pink lips and guessed that it was probably not that the young man didn't know, but that he didn't want to talk to her.

Humph, Brother Heng had obviously kissed her that day. Didn't he regard her as one of his own?

Tan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng, my aunt wants to treat Brother Heng to a meal. Brother Huan is back."

Aunt Zhao was quite proud during this period. On the one hand, Baoyu was punished, and on the other hand, her son Jia Huan had a future in the martial arts hall. If we look at those Jia family members, then Jia Huan will be at least a sixth-grade person in the future.

Military attaché?

Jia Heng said: "Find a suitable time. I'll see if I'm free these days. By the way, Brother Huan, how is his martial arts training?"

He will send a group of people to Chahar Mongolia, Datong, and Taiyuan in the next few days.

Tan Chun sighed softly, sat down next to Jia Heng, and said, "What else can I do? I've made some progress, but not a lot, and I still look like I'm not good enough."

Jia Heng said: "I'll go and take a look later. Don't be too impatient. You must have improved a lot compared to before."

As he said that, he picked up the information about Jinyi Mansion on a few books and lowered his head to read through it.

The Jurchens have been making frequent moves recently, and as for Chahar Mongolia, it is impossible for the Han Dynasty to send a troop of troops to ambush and respond in advance without the consent of the Mongolian Khan Court.

It can be said that it is not easy to stop the Jurchens from destroying Mongolia. This is the result of the comparative evaluation of the comprehensive forces of the two countries.

But to sit back and watch the Han Mongolia being wiped out and incorporated by the Jurchens is undoubtedly like sitting back and watching the Liao Kingdom be destroyed by the Jin Dynasty in the previous Song Dynasty. It is a very stupid and short-sighted behavior.

Seeing the young man frowning slightly, Zhen Lan said softly: "Brother Heng has a frown on his face, what are you worried about?"

At this time, Tan Chun also stared at the young man and asked with concern: "Brother Heng."

Jia Heng said softly: "I'm going to be busy with this matter year after year. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you two."

Different from the changes in the political situation, which involve intrigues and scheming, this talk about two little girls is also meant to educate them.

When Zhen Lan heard this, her eyes glowed brightly, she sat down and listened to Jia Heng's explanation of the whole story.

After Jia Heng finished speaking, Tan Chun stared at him and said, "Is Brother Heng going to thwart the Jurchen's plot in advance?"

"This matter has become a conspiracy, and it is difficult to deal with it. The Jurchens must have made a lot of preparations for this matter, and I, the Han, are not clear about the details. And if the Han army goes deep into Mongolia, they will probably not be the opponents of the Jurchens.

After suffering a defeat, he became even more passive." Jia Heng said.

Zhen Lan came up with an idea and said: "What about contacting the Mongolian headquarters and asking them to take precautions as soon as possible?"

Tan Chun Yingli's eyebrows showed thoughts, and she shook her head and said: "It is not easy. Let's not say whether Mongolia believes it. Even if it believes it, it may not be willing to ask for troops. Even if it sends troops, with the combat power of the Han army..."

Zhen Lan's voice was bright and delicate, and she said: "But we still need to contact you. Let's see if we can send an elite army to support you. I'm so worried."

Tanchun asked: "Brother Heng is thinking about whether to send troops?"

Jia Heng looked at the two girls Zhen Jia San and spoke. One was charming and natural, the other fierce and cold. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Sending troops out of the fortress involves all aspects. Not only does Mongolia agree, but the timing also needs to be grasped.

, the Jurchens must be on guard."

This opportunity is very difficult to grasp. For example, if you remind Mongolia now, if the other side doesn't take it seriously, there is a high probability that they will not agree to the Han sending troops to help, and they are worried about being annexed by the Han.

Mongolia would not consider letting the Han intervene until the Jurchens came close, but the Jurchens would definitely send troops to contain the Han. At that time, there were only a few lines of battlefield, and it could be said that a single move could affect the whole body.

Zhen Lan looked at the young man with shining eyes and said softly: "Brother Heng is already confident, right?"

Jia Heng said thoughtfully: "As the third sister just said, we still don't know what the combat strength will be. I will go there in person after the New Year."

Zhen Lan said softly: "Brother Heng will definitely win. Previously in Jiangnan, those Tatars were no match for Brother Heng."

"This battle is different from Jiangnan. This time it is an overall battle. The two countries are fighting, and it involves everyone from top to bottom." Jia Heng said.

If he were Huang Taiji, he would definitely send troops from Beiping Kou Pass and another army to attack Datong. Needless to say, with the strength of the Han army's border troops, they would be defeated outside the city, and the whole country would be restrained.

At that time, if we exert maximum pressure on Chahar Mongolia and force them to surrender, we can basically achieve our strategic intentions.

And he only has one person, which way should he support? So this is a battle between two countries that involves the overall situation, and will determine his success or failure, a battle of honor and disgrace.

He can guarantee his own side, but can Peiping, Xuanfu, and Datong's frontier troops be able to hold it? What if any of the roads are defeated and the Jurchens enter the country to plunder, and the imperial court asks him to lead troops to support them?

Will he go or not?

As for Wu Xun, who was the main combatant, the whole Han Dynasty was making overwhelming accusations at that time. This was all foreseeable. As the minister of military aircraft, how could he do it without making preparations?

Moreover, Huang Taiji could choose a lot of attack directions and even attack times, and it was not necessarily 100% what he said. There were many famous Jurchen generals.

Therefore, in a sense, the Nan'an County Prince's previous proposal for peace was a wise move to protect himself.
