After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

Ning Ruyan's heart tightened a little when she saw the news from Xinyang. She knew that before she knew the news, Jiang Yan would definitely know it first. After all, Lao Qian and his wife had his people around them, but... She was worried about Xiaohua's safety.

"Miss, don't worry. The young master has also arranged for many people to go there and will ensure their safety." Ning Xing seemed to be aware of Ning Ruyan's concerns, "Miss, do you want to go back to Gusu?"

"Return." Ning Ruyan nodded. Alang was getting older day by day, and his facial features were becoming more and more similar to Jiang Yan's. When he could walk and run, he would no longer be able to hide it.

"The master and the eldest young master have been looking forward to it. If you didn't let them enter the capital, they would have come here a long time ago." Ning Xing smiled.

"However, I have a title now, so it is not easy to leave Beijing. I sent a letter to dad, and they will understand." Ning Ruyan nodded, "In addition, you send someone to keep an eye on what's going on outside."

"Okay." Ning Xing turned around and went out.

Beiyuan is a nomadic people on the grassland, and they basically rely on the weather for their food.

But because of the snowstorm at the end of the year, many livestock froze to death, and because Beiyuan is further north, the weather is colder. Now that spring has begun in Daxia, the temperature is still very low there, and the grass has not sprouted, so there is no Food. Without food, people will starve. This is the main reason for this war.

In the previous life, the snow disaster in Daxia had a serious impact, and the treasury was even more empty. After a few months of fighting, floods broke out in the south, so in the end, they sued for peace and then got married.

But this life has changed because of her rebirth, so I don't know if the marriage will continue.

During this period, some positions in the court were also changed. The most important one was the Minister of Household Affairs. During the previous snow disaster, due to the empty treasury, the official in charge of the most financial affairs was directly dismissed. After that, he was replaced by the original Zuo Shilang. Li Tong temporarily handled matters as an agent, and he did very well later on, especially the food and grass for the Northern Expedition. He was also very active in raising food and grass, so the emperor directly ordered his promotion.

This year's number one scholar, Liu Yunchang, did not enter the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he was assigned to the Ministry of Household Affairs as a sixth-grade director.

"Miss, do you know who arranged my errand?" Because Liu Yunchang has already engaged Banxia, ​​and the Hubu Yamen is relatively close to the County Lord's Mansion, he often comes here to have a meal, and also goes with Ning Ruyan talked about some court matters.

"Who?" Ning Ruyan raised her eyes.

"Master Jiang." Liu Yunchang said bluntly, "Moreover, Master Jiang also talked to me, but I didn't agree. Now I want to ask the eldest lady for her opinion."

"he……"

"The emperor thinks highly of him. There are even secret rumors that the emperor values ​​him the most because he is very similar to the emperor."

Ning Ruyan frowned.

"I don't dare to take sides easily, because Banxia is yours, in case..."

"Liu Yunchang, when I helped you, I had no other intention. I just felt that I cherished my talent. Later, you developed a relationship with Banxia, ​​and I was also happy. However, I have no intention of interfering with your career." Ning Ruyan looked at the other party, " However, I will only say this once, in this court, I trust Mr. Jiang."

Liu Yunchang's eyes flashed for a moment, and a complicated light flashed through them, but he soon calmed down, stood up and clasped his fists: "Yun Chang knows."

The weather is slowly getting hotter, and everyone is taking off their bulky cotton-padded clothes and putting on jackets. Even at noon, jackets feel hot.

Alang is already able to sit, and even sits very securely.

"Miss, Master Alang is so good-looking." Forsythia said, "Look at these eyes, they are even better than Mr. Jiang's..." As he said this, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly closed his mouth, nervously. Looking at Ning Ruyan, "Miss, I..."

Ning Ruyan shook her head: "Alang is his son, it's normal to look like him."

Because Alang saw his mother kissing him, he waved his little hands and screamed, wanting her to hug him.

Ning Ruyan picked up the little guy and kissed his little face. If it didn't work, she would wean him off the breast in two months and send him back to Gusu first.

That night, I received news from Xinyi that Daxia's army had fought against Beiyuan. The two towns previously occupied by Beiyuan had been recaptured, but the losses in those two towns were somewhat serious. Fortunately, General Sui He attaches great importance to farming and specially carries some seeds in the grain and grass so as not to delay the spring plowing of the people there.

Ning Ruyan finally felt relieved a little.

As we enter May, the weather has become completely warm.

The good news is that the battle at the border has ushered in another victory, and one of the opponent's generals was even captured alive. The Beiyuan Army suffered a huge blow and has already withdrawn from the Anguan pass range.

However, along with this good news came another bad news, that is, the Marquis of Xinyang established himself as king in Xinyang, but rebelled against him. He even assembled a hundred thousand troops under the banner of the Qing Lord and prepared to attack the capital.

What is unbelievable is that the person Qing Jun kissed turned out to be Jiang Yan. It is said that sycophants like Jiang Yan bewitched the emperor, making him unclear about loyalty and traitor, and harmed many loyal and good people.

At the same time, news of the death of frontier officials from various places appeared one after another.

However, the Plum Blossom Sect, which had occasionally appeared occasionally, began to explode on a large scale, fooling many people. In some places, gatherings began to gather for worship, and even had conflicts with the local government. After that, they directly captured the county government office. happened.

The relaxed atmosphere created by the victory in the border battle in the capital disappeared in an instant, and it was even more tense than when the Beiyuan people came to fight.

"Ayan, it's a good thing that you are a man, otherwise, you would have been called a witch who brought disaster to the country." Youli gloated a little.

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at him: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute."

"I'm complimenting you on how good-looking you are." Youli raised her eyebrows slightly.

Jiang Yan raised his hand slightly.

"Okay, just kidding." Yuli hurriedly begged for mercy, "But, what are you going to do?"

"We'll figure it out as we go." Jiang Yan curled his lips, and just as he was about to say something, someone from the palace informed him to come in.

"Come on, I'm going to see little Alang. I think there is someone to succeed the Divine Doctor Mountain." Youli stood up first.

"Don't take advantage of my son." Jiang Yan glared at him.

"My surname is Ning, but I don't have the same surname as you." You Li snorted, and then without waiting for Jiang Yan to say anything else, he directly used Qinggong and left Yanyu Pavilion.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Xia Wen seemed to have aged more than ten years all of a sudden. He was really frowning. When he saw Jiang Yan coming in, he reluctantly showed a smile.
