After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

That afternoon, General Zhang Yu reported intelligence from the northern border.

According to the letter, the barbarians frequently sent secret agents to infiltrate the northern border to spy on the deployment of the northern border garrisons. Some secret agents even disguised themselves as merchants and wanted to buy horses.

A Bao crumpled the secret letter.

In the months since the beginning of spring, General Zhang Yu has secretly encircled and suppressed several groups of spies in the northern border, but the increasingly frequent spying just shows that the barbarians are becoming more and more impatient.

I am afraid that there will be action in the short term.

Thinking of this, A Bao handed the information about Northern Frontier to his uncle Feng Ran.

"What do you think, uncle?"

After a moment, Xuanyuan Fengran closed the secret letter of intelligence.

"Now that the court has been reorganized, many official positions are vacant, and the internal situation is not stable, we no longer need external troubles to add to the trouble. Moreover, it is the busy farming season, and the states in the northern border are plowing, sowing, fertilizing and watering, which is not the most appropriate time to start a war."

After listening to Xuanyuan Fengran's words, A Bao nodded. She thought so too.

So, she said thoughtfully: "Da Qi and the Barbarians will definitely have a decisive battle, but it is not at this time. Let's... wait a little longer."

Fortunately, she had previously petitioned the old emperor to strengthen the garrison patrols in the northern border.

But right now, there is one more thing to consider.

That’s it——

When Governor Lin died, the position of Governor of the three states became vacant.

The position of governor of the three states involves the final ownership of the grain transport rights.

Since the new governors of the three states will be appointed by her.

Thinking of this, A Bao hesitated: Although Governor Lin, a big pest, was eliminated in advance, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River two years later is still a hidden danger.

The common people lost their homes and families due to the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancient towns and villages were left with nine out of ten houses empty. There was a purgatory of misery with people starving everywhere and people exchanging their own children for food.

Po didn't want to see it again.

Therefore, the position of the Governor of the Three States must be filled by people close to the East Palace.

More importantly, this person must truly care about the people and be familiar with flood control strategies.

However, the Three Prefectures Governor's Office and the Jiangnan Palace have been fighting for the power of grain transport for many years. Now that the Lin family has been overthrown for a crime, there is no guarantee that King Xiao of Jiangnan has ulterior motives.

Just then, Lu Lang came to report.

"Your Highness, I would like to see you, Lord Pei."

When he heard it was Pei Guichen, A Bao looked at Xuanyuan Fengran.

The man who was not wearing Xie Wuai's human skin mask stood up and rubbed her head, and took the initiative to say: "I'm behind Jinping. I'll be there whenever you need me."

Po took a deep breath and hummed.

A moment later, Lu Lang lifted the curtain, followed by Pei Guichen carrying a food box.

"Brother Pei, please sit down."

A Bao asked Lu Lang to serve tea.

Pei Guichen's eyes flashed darkly, and A Bao's black hair was casually tied up.

She was only fixed with a golden peony hairpin and leaning against the soft couch, looking both luxurious and lazy.

When she chuckled, her eyes and eyebrows were bright and clear, like rippling spring water.

He had seen her like this in his previous life.

As he walked towards the couch, Pei Guichen silently clenched his hand holding the food box. The veins on the back of his hand were bulging, looking ferocious and cruel.

But Pei Guichen's tone was very gentle, "I spent two hours simmering the bird's nest and lotus seed soup, and I specially added osmanthus honey. Bao, would you like to try it?"

A Bao listened to what Pei Guichen said.

Suddenly she remembered that ever since Ji Shoushan set up a trap to force her to take Lingxi, and she also cooperated in performing her deep love for Pei Guichen, in front of her, Pei Guichen not only called himself "I", but also stopped calling her His Highness.

Tsk tsk tsk. You deserve a beating.

Being on guard against Pei Guichen's poisoning, Ah Bao did not mention the bowl of bird's nest and lotus seed soup, but only asked curiously, "Brother Pei, have you heard about the morning court today?"

"The Emperor expects them to be loyal to the country and plead for the people."

"Who would have thought that there would be such a person who disregards the law in secret. But think about it carefully, that Mr. Zhang had just taken office as the Ministry of Personnel, and he handled such a big case."

"It's quite impressive."

Pei Guichen was certain that Abao would never lie to him because of his love for him. When he heard what Abao said, he became even more certain that this was what Abao said.

A Bao certainly didn't know who had teamed up with Zhang Lanheng.

"Those things were hidden so obscurely that even the Western Prison Tiger Guards couldn't detect them." Pei Guichen said meaningfully: "The power of the person behind the scenes in the imperial capital is far beyond our imagination."

That's natural, and he doesn't even look at who made the move.

He is my uncle Feng Ran!

Abao smiled and said nothing.

However, what happened next was a shock to Pei Guichen.

He and she fell into a strange silence.

He thought back to his past life, and it seemed that whenever he and Po were alone, she was always the one who started interesting conversations.

It’s a sunny day today, Brother Pei, shall we go to the garden to enjoy the flowers and fly kites?

Brother Pei! I heard that a lion came to the animal taming park. It's very ferocious. Shall we go take a look?

Now, he didn't speak, and she was silent too.

Thinking of this, Pei Guichen silently clenched the jade handle of the folding fan in his hand.

He came to see Abao, but in fact, he was aiming for the position of governor of three states.

Jiangnan and Huainan are adjacent to each other and are both located in the southern border.

The Pei family benefited from the years of open and secret struggles between Governor Lin and King Xiao of Jiangnan.

Now that the position of the governor of the three states is vacant, it is a good opportunity for the Pei family to make further progress. If the Pei family's confidant can be placed in the position of the governor of the three states, the power of water transport can be controlled. In this way, the lifeline of water transport from the imperial capital to Jiangnan, Huainan, and even southern Xinjiang can be curbed.

Rice, grain, silk, cloth, salt, iron, sugar, etc. are controlled by the "money shop" in the hands of the Pei family.

In his previous life, he had made the same arrangement.

However, he knew that this move in his previous life was successful because Abao never avoided him on political affairs and even often discussed politics with him.

Naturally, he could influence her decisions on the appointment and dismissal of court officials.

But in this life when he was reborn, although Abao loved him, the depth of her love for him now was far less unique than in her previous life.

Therefore, if you want Abao to speak actively.

'Brother Pei, who do you think is the most suitable candidate for the governor of the three states?'

I’m afraid it’s extremely difficult.
