On the first seven days of Zong Tianbao's reign, good news came from the border.
Huo Tian led his troops to defeat the Huns, killing 18,000 enemies, capturing 30,000, and recapturing more than 20,000 border residents who had been plundered by the Huns.
More than 80,000 camels, horses, sheep and other livestock were seized, as well as countless amounts of food and baggage.
He even drove the Xiongnu to the north of Mengshan Mountain, preparing to rebuild the Great Wall of the previous dynasty and arrange garrison defense.
When the news came, the government and the public were excited.
You must know that since the founding of the Ding Dynasty, there has never been such a great victory in the war against the Xiongnu.
The Huns were good at riding and shooting, had no fixed abode, and were never willing to fight. They would just run away after grabbing something.
The desert was thousands of miles long, and the Han army did not dare to go deep into it. Once they got lost or cut off their food and water sources, there was no need for the Huns to take action.
Therefore, although the Xiongnu invaded the border and plundered the border residents for many years, it was difficult to defend and eradicate them.
Huo Tian's achievements have inspired the people and will go down in history.
In front of the Dingbeigong Mansion, there was an endless stream of cars and horses.
Everyone came to congratulate Jiang Nuan, including those who thought something bad happened to Huo Tian and wanted to step on her.
When Jiang Nuan saw this formation, he was so frightened that he ran away from the back door to find Xu Chunjun.
"Sister Xu, help me! Those people are too scary." Jiang Nuan was still frightened when she arrived at Zheng's house, "I really don't know how to deal with them."
"You are Mrs. Dingbei, why are you afraid of them?" Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "A few days ago we went into the palace to see Yun Chu. Didn't she say that seeing you with a rosy face meant that something happy would happen to you."
"What do you like or dislike? As long as my father-in-law is safe, I'll be satisfied. I don't care about any achievements or praises." Jiang Nuan said, "Sister Xu, since I'm here, lunch will be with you.
I ate at home. The stir-fried pancakes made by your cook last time were very to my liking, as well as the bad goose feet."
"If there's anything here, I'll tell them to get ready." Xu Chunjun said and sent A Li to tell the kitchen.
"By the way, your second sister-in-law has a new daughter. I have to go and see her someday." Jiang Nuan took a sip of tea and said.
Xu Daoan's wife gave birth to another daughter, who was not yet one month old.
"I went back the day before yesterday. Both adults and children are fine." Xu Chunjun said, "I will go with you another day."
"Several uncles in your family have been promoted, and everyone says that the Xu family has been re-emphasized." Jiang Nuan said, "Sister Xu, do you think the emperor wants to learn from Emperor Xuan Qing's reform?"
The Emperor Xuanqing mentioned by Jiang Nuan was the emperor when Xu Chunjun's grandfather Xu Youguang was appointed prime minister.
Although the reform was very effective, it was regrettable that Emperor Xuanqing died suddenly due to a heart attack.
Emperor Xuanqing died suddenly without leaving any posthumous edict.
Although there is a prince, Prince Ning, he is still young.
Many people were worried that the young emperor would be in trouble when he ascended the throne, so they elected the King of Surabaya, the emperor's younger brother, to succeed him as Emperor Mingde.
After Emperor Mingde came to the throne, he abolished the new law and expelled all the new parties headed by Xu Youguang.
He was assassinated after eight years in office, and the world kept it secret, except that Emperor Mingde died of illness.
Emperor Mingde had no heirs, but he left a legacy before his death, passing the throne to King Dongjiang, who is the current emperor.
"Don't dare to talk nonsense about this," Xu Chunjun said, "Maybe it was Yun Chu who begged the emperor for mercy, so uncle and the others were cared for."
Jiang Nuan had lunch at Xu Chunjun's house and began to worry again: "Sister Xu, what should I do? I can escape the first grade of junior high school, but I'm afraid I can't escape the fifteenth grade.
If those people didn't see me today, wouldn't they stop blocking the door tomorrow and the day after? You can help me think of something."
"You are too lazy to do superficial things, but don't offend others too much, or you won't do it." Xu Chunjun said, "The weather is getting hot now, so why not go out of the city and live in a village. There are many villages in your house, and no one will know where you live unless you tell me.
where."
Jiang Nuan was very happy when she heard this and said: "As expected of Sister Xu, she is really a female Zhuge! This method is good, so I will live in Zhuangzi."
After saying that, he begged Xu Chunjun: "Sister Xu, please stay with me for two days! It's boring to be alone."
"I can't do it in these two days. I have something to do at home and I can't leave. After two days, I will definitely visit you and stay with you for a few days." Xu Chunjun said.
"Then I'll tell them to pack their things quickly when I get back soon, and leave early tomorrow morning to avoid being blocked by others." Jiang Nuan was impatient and couldn't wait for one more day.
In the evening, at the Huo family's village outside the city, the servants were so busy that they didn't even bother to eat dinner.
A woman held a wooden bucket in her hand and asked people when she saw him: "Have you seen Xiaoyun there?"
Everyone said they didn't see it.
The mother-in-law couldn't help but feel a little angry: "This girl seems to have lost her soul these days, I don't know what's wrong!
The madam and the young master will come to stay tomorrow, and everyone is busy! She hid."
"This girl is usually very diligent, but I don't know what's going on these days. Is she sick?" Another daughter-in-law came over and said, "I don't think she is deliberately lazy."
Just as he was talking, the old man in charge of the garden came over and said, "Mother Zhang, take a look. That little cloud under your hand is burning paper under the tree in the southwest corner of the garden!"
"Ouch! What's going on?!" Upon hearing this, Mother Zhang threw away the barrels in her hands.
Although this is not a city, servants are not allowed to burn paper. This is a taboo.
Besides, Mama Wan from the mansion will come over soon to take a look at everything to see if everything is ready.
If she bumped into her, she would really be in trouble and walk around in circles, and even herself would have to be reprimanded!
Mother Zhang found Xiaoyun in three steps and two steps at a time, and sure enough she saw her kneeling under the tree, crying and burning paper.
"It's incredible!" Zhang's mother rushed forward, scolding Xiaoyun, and stomping out the fire, "If you want to die, don't drag us with you! Who are you trying to curse by burning paper in this garden?!
"
"Mother Zhang, I don't want to curse anyone, I just want to pay homage to someone. This paper will be burned soon, please tolerate me a little longer!" Xiaoyun cried and hugged Mother Zhang's legs.
"You are confused! No matter who that person is, even if it is your biological father and mother, you cannot burn paper in this garden. Do you know whose garden this is?! You are not allowed to do whatever you want!" said Mother Zhang.
I also believe that Xiaoyun is not cursing anyone. This girl is usually quite honest. She knows how to work and never competes for more or less.
But that’s not possible! When they are servants, they only pay attention to rules.
If you break the rules, what's the point?
Mother Zhang finally stamped out the fire, then brought a shovel and buried all the ashes.
Xiaoyun was still kneeling there crying and refused to get up.
"Get up quickly! Don't cry here. Find a place where no one is around and hide quietly. Don't come in front of anyone." Zhang's mother said sharply, "You girl, I don't know what's wrong with you in the past month. I
I see you have a bad appetite, and you seemed to have vomited that day.
I asked a doctor to come and take a look at you, but you refused to let me go, saying that you were fine.
You have no relatives or friends here, so don’t ruin your body any more, that’s really going to kill you!”
