Chapter 143
The next day, early in the morning.

Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, Qian Yuan, who had just tasted the taste of lust, really had a little thought of "from now on, the king will not go to court early", shook his head vigorously, got up and changed his clothes.

Fifth Ziyue also woke up, her eyelashes flickering, but she didn't open her eyes.

Qian Yuan pretended not to see, knowing that his wife was still not used to it, quickly put on his clothes, went to the outside room, saw that Hong Xue had already prepared the toiletries, and said, "Go in and serve the princess."

"promise!"

During the morning meal, an episode occurred.

As a personal maid, Hongxue naturally waits on Fifth Ziyue, and stands behind Fifth Ziyue to serve; there is also a person standing behind Qianyuan, which is Qingying.

The two stood behind their respective masters, with sparks flickering in their eyes.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Fortunately, Qian Yuan had planned for a long time ago, and took the initiative to serve Wu Ziyue a bowl of spiritual rice porridge, and said: "Ziyue, I will leave you to take care of the inner house from now on." Women don't interfere in politics, and men had better not interfere in the inner house Things.

Qian Yuan didn't want to care about it either.

It seemed that this was the first time for Fifth Ziyue to be served food, and she was obviously not used to it. She looked stunned for a moment. Except for Fifth Panshi, no one else at home dared to be so close to Fifth Ziyue.

He picked up the porridge and took a small sip.

It's a little sweeter.

"It doesn't taste good." Fifth Ziyue frowned and put it down.

If it were any other woman, her husband would eat rice for the first time, and the fifth Ziyue was naturally not an ordinary person, and she said what she said without any affectation.

Qian Yuan smiled: "Then try this." He said and handed over a plate of pastries.

The fifth Ziyue picked up a piece, the taste was light and delicious, she raised her head and said: "I don't know how to take care of the inner house, let Qingying take care of it." She didn't care about Hongxue's anxious eyes.

Qianyuan didn't force it. He didn't want to confine Fifth Ziyue to the boudoir. "Then let Hongxue take care of it. As for Qingying, just wait in the front yard."

"You arrange it, I don't understand."

While talking, Fifth Ziyue had already finished eating, very military style.

After breakfast, the two of them went out of the dining hall. First, they were greeted by the maidservant of the inner house, and Hongxue handed out rewards to officially establish the position of mistress.

Then he went to the main courtyard to accept the visits of civil and military officials.

At the end of the ceremony, Qian Yuan announced an amnesty decree: "This king's big wedding is celebrated everywhere. In the feudal prison, all criminals who are not death row or serious criminals will be pardoned and released immediately after serving their sentence."

"Your Highness is merciful!"

After the interview, the matter will come to an end.

…………

The wedding is over and it’s New Year’s Eve right around the corner.

Perhaps it was because the wedding ceremony was too lively and once overwhelmed the limelight of the Spring Festival, but when it came to New Year's Eve, there was nothing special, it was just arranged according to the usual practice.

The only difference is that there is an extra princess who doesn't care about things in the palace.

…………

On New Year's Eve, Zhao Mansion.

The whole Zhao family is filled with joy, not only because the New Year is approaching, but more importantly because Zhao Cheng, the eldest son of the Zhao family, was released from prison early through the "amnesty" trend.

It solved a heart problem in the Zhao family.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, Zhao Wanming, Zhao Cheng and his son were talking in the room.

Although it has been two days since he was released from prison, Zhao Cheng still hasn't slowed down. Only half a year has passed, and Qingqiu Mansion is no longer the Qingqiu Mansion he knew.

Everything has changed and become so strange.

The Zhao family, which was once prosperous, is showing signs of decline. Although it has ushered in the second spring of development in the commercial field because it has followed the footsteps of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce, its influence in the officialdom has dropped to the lowest point in history.

Zhao Wanming has resigned himself to his fate. Recently, he is concentrating his family resources in the commercial field in a planned way. He is especially optimistic about the development of the Donglin New District, and plans to make use of the favorable time and place to make a big splash in the Donglin New District.

"Cheng'er, don't be idle after the next year, go to the Chamber of Commerce to help." Zhao Wanming said.

Zhao Cheng was silent, obviously unwilling.

As the former magistrate of Yize County, the general judge of Qingqiu Mansion, and the former influential figure in Qingqiu official circles, it is a great humiliation for him to go into business.

Even more unwilling.

"Father, can you work it out and be transferred to other places as an official?" Zhao Chengxi asked.

Zhao Wanming sighed, "If you use the power of the family to transfer you to other places to be an official, it is not impossible. But have you ever thought about it? If you go to other places, what will the vassal palace think? What will it think of it? The Zhao family?"

The current feudal prince's mansion is no longer an existence that any family can resist. Even without Qian Yuan's words, the yamen below will suppress the Zhao family intentionally or unintentionally.

That was a disaster for the Zhao family.

The aristocratic family is strong, but it also has a weakness, that is, the foundation is fixed in one place.

Just like the current Zhao family, even if they are not welcomed by the feudal prince's mansion, they can only struggle to survive in the cracks, but cannot escape this whirlpool.

Because the roots of the Zhao family are here.

Zhao Cheng had a bitter face, he had tasted the scourge of prison, he had experienced a lot of vicissitudes and matured a lot, naturally he didn't want to put the whole family on fire because of himself.

"Father, I heard that the palace will organize an official selection exam after the next year. Tell me, can I take it?" Zhao Cheng is an official fan, and he will not give up after all.

Zhao Wanming was startled, he never thought of this, and said uncertainly: "It should be possible, the edict of the Royal Palace did not limit the people who can refer to it."

"Then I'll try it."

Zhao Cheng is confident that with his ability, it is impossible for him to fail the exam.

"Then try it."

Zhao Wanming was actually not optimistic. With Zhao Cheng's criminal record, how could he be selected, but seeing his son's expression, he couldn't bear to say no.

Let it be fate.

…………

Time has quietly entered the 43rd year of Wude.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Qian Yuan left the feudal prince's mansion and began to inspect the camps. Assuming a posture of actively preparing for the battle, he chose the Western Suburb Daying as his first stop.

The Western Suburb Camp is just a general term. It currently houses the [-]th Brigade of the Security Division, the City Defense Battalion, and [-] soldiers brought by the Fifth Ziyue. It is also the camp with the largest number of troops currently stationed in the fiefdom.

The fifth purple moon accompanied her.

Qianyuan first inspected the Fourth Brigade to determine whether it could participate in the upcoming war.

After the inspection, Qianyuan was mixed.

The good news is that Hua Xiong is indeed a fierce general with rich experience in leading troops. Under Hua Xiong's training, the unruly mountain warriors passed the recruiting period smoothly and began to integrate into the life of the army.

What is worrying is that the Fourth Brigade has only been in preparation for less than two months after all, and whether it is battle drills or familiarity with weapons and equipment, it has not yet met the needs of going to the battlefield.

If it is really sent to the battlefield, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, facing Hua Xiong's invitation to fight, Qian Yuan could only ruthlessly refuse, but he didn't say anything dead, he just said that the Fourth Brigade would be used as a reserve force, depending on whether it would be sent to the battlefield.

The angry Hua Xiong yelled, and went to give the soldiers "extra meals".

Next is the city defense battalion.

Xu Rong has a calm personality and is good at training troops. The city defense battalion has been completely reborn after experiencing the autumn campaign.

Helplessly, with the new round of large-scale construction in Qingqiu Mansion, as the base camp of the fiefdom, it is very necessary to arrange a permanent army to guard it.

Even if it is to launch a war, it is not appropriate to mobilize.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the city defense battalion will also serve as the general reserve team and will not be in the next battle sequence. Its main duty is to defend the Qingqiu Mansion.

Once the war starts, if there is no army stationed in the base camp, it will cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

The most important thing is that the Red Viper Pass is still in the hands of the Leopard Demon Army. If the Leopard Demon Army leaves the pass, even if only a small group of troops flee to Qingqiu Mansion, it will be enough to cause a disaster.

Therefore, the city defense battalion cannot move.

Finally, there are five hundred soldiers who followed the fifth purple moon. Qian Yuan thought about it, and it was time to give this army an official designation.

After discussing with Fifth Ziyue, it was decided to name it Moon Wheel Guard.

The Yuelun Guard is under the jurisdiction of Bing Cao and obeys the military orders of the feudal prince's mansion. However, Fifth Ziyue can also bypass Bing Cao and directly command Yue Lun Guard when necessary.

Its nature is a bit similar to that of the personal guard battalion, and it can be regarded as half of the fifth Ziyue's personal soldiers.

For this reason, Qianyuan also specially appointed the fifth Ziyue as the commander of the Yuelunwei, and the fifth sword of the Yuelunwei camp was responsible for the specific command.

The fifth sword is the leader of the family soldiers, a strong man in the early stage of Wu Zong.

It can be seen from the name that although Fifth Sword is not a member of the Fifth Family, he was given the fifth surname, which is somewhat similar to the existence of a son.

There are a total of eighteen adopted sons in the fifth family, named after eighteen weapons.

Swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, whips, maces, hammers, lances, and spears and rakes, the sword ranks third, and thus represents the fifth sword.

For such an elite team, Qian Yuan didn't think about wasting it, and said bluntly to the fifth sword: "The upcoming spring campaign, the moon guards will also participate in the battle, I hope you can lead your troops to prepare for the battle."

"As ordered!"

Fifth Sword agreed without hesitation. They were never afraid of war, and even looked forward to it.
