I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Such a great achievement was only rewarded with a thousand gold coins, but the meritorious officials were pursued and even severely punished.

Everyone in the hall was silent. For a moment, it was eerily quiet.

The emperor had been wary of the Prince of Zhenbei for a long time. In this situation, no one dared to speak, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would anger the emperor and bring about their own death.

The emperor forced a smile and asked, "What is the punishment, Prime Minister?"

The left prime minister stepped forward again and performed the salute between the emperor and his subjects. "Your Majesty, I think that General Dingbei should be recalled, stripped of his title, demoted to a lieutenant general, and left in the capital to reflect on his mistakes!!"

As soon as the left prime minister spoke, all the ministers took a deep breath and the court fell into complete silence! !

The King of Zhenbei is not someone you will easily mess with. If you recall his eldest son and lock him up in the capital, if things go wrong, the Zhenbei Army might rebel, and no one in the dynasty can stop their might!

The emperor looked thoughtfully, then smiled as he looked at the trembling ministers in the court.

"My dear ministers, what do you think?"

Censor Zhang looked around and saw that no one in the court dared to speak for the meritorious officials. He felt cold in his heart.

Then he stood up and said, "Your Majesty!! I think it is inappropriate!! All is fair in war! The enemy is cunning, and no one can always win. As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common in the military!! General Dingbei won the battle of Wuxia Pass with a small force, and greatly enhanced our national prestige!! His mistakes were minor but his achievements were great, and his flaws outweighed his merits!! How can you punish him instead of rewarding him?"

The Lord Censor spoke impassionedly and passionately. Everyone nodded frequently, saying what was in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it.

"Your Majesty! I think General Dingbei deserves a reward!!"

The left prime minister rolled his eyes at him. "You old fool, can you guess what the emperor is thinking? If you make such a suggestion, I'm afraid you'll lose your life!"

"Your Majesty!" The Left Prime Minister was about to speak! !

The emperor waved his hand and interrupted him. "I think what you two ministers said makes sense! Although General Dingbei has his faults, his merits outweigh his faults! General Dingbei should be rewarded and given the title of Beiliang! Shangjing Garden! Order him to return to Kyoto with his family to serve! Grant him the title of Qianhu and the title of Marquis! Order him to enter the capital today!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and gave Gu Dingbei the title of General Beiliang! But this word "liang" really made people imagine a lot! !

Not long after, the Zhenbei Palace received an imperial edict, ordering Gu Dingbei to return to Beijing with his family to receive the title.

"Thank God for His Grace!! Long live the Emperor!!"

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict wanted to turn around and leave the moment Prince Zhenbei received the order.

Everyone knows that the Zhenbei Palace is full of killers. If they are not happy, they will kill even the emperor's men!

Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy! !

Seeing the visitor leave in a hurry, King Zhenbei ignored him.

The corners of his mouth twitched! He looked at his eldest son and sighed inwardly.

This dog emperor is not only afraid of him, but also of his eldest son! If the Zhenbei King family does not hand over the military power, I am afraid they will only have the option of rebellion.

Gu Dingbei's mind was confused. The reason he was called back to Kyoto was ostensibly to be rewarded, but in reality, he was held in Kyoto to contain the Zhenbei Army.

They, the Zhenbei Palace, have never had the intention of rebellion. They just want to live in Zhenbei City and guard the border for the Daying Dynasty.

But the emperor refused to let them go.

"Father, I'll go too! If I can help dispel the emperor's fear, that's good!"

Princess Chaoyang was extremely happy when she heard the imperial edict. The weather in the northern border was freezing cold, the people were tough, and the food was scarce. She had long been unaccustomed to life here. If it weren't for Gu Dingbei, she would not have married to such a barren place.

Now that she was able to return to the capital in response to the imperial edict, and with Gu Dingbei, she danced with joy.

"Hurry! Follow me back to pack up!!"

“Yes!!” Princess Chaoyang packed her luggage with her maid. She was shocked by the financial difficulties of the Zhenbei Palace during these days.

As a princess of the Qing dynasty, she could never imagine that such a huge palace would be so poor. There were not many servants in the palace, and most of them were family-born children! She grew up in the palace and regarded it as her home. Life was hard, and she never thought of leaving.

Shen Lianxin slipped back to Hua Ting Garden. The old emperor gave her gardens and titles, but he didn't give her any substantial benefits. These gardens are all Kyoto properties, belonging to the royal family. It sounds good to say that he gave this and that, but if she committed a crime one day and her property was confiscated, the gardens would be taken back and belong to the royal family.

This Jingyuan was owned by a great eunuch in the previous dynasty. That eunuch had countless wealth and was as rich as a country. When the old emperor came to power, he confiscated his property to enrich the national treasury and stabilize the government! !

When Gu Dingbei returned to Huatingyuan, he saw Shen Lianxin looking worried.

"Lianxin, the emperor summoned me back to the capital just to contain my father, but as long as my father doesn't rebel, we will be fine. Don't worry!!"

Even so, Shen Lianxin still felt uneasy. It was as if something big was brewing, making her feel uneasy!

After looking at the children, Gu Chengxin asked, "Mom, are we going to Kyoto?"

Shen Lianxin touched his head and asked, "Daxin, do you want to go to Kyoto?"

"I have never been to Kyoto. If mom goes to Kyoto, I will go. If mom doesn't go, I won't go either. I want to be with mom."

Several children nodded. Shen Lianxin was relieved!

After thinking for a while, Shen Lian thought again and again that they were the masters in Zhenbei Palace and could get the best resources and freedom. If they were in the imperial capital, they would be cautious everywhere and face intrigues. She didn't want her child to survive in such a complicated environment at such a young age.

The teacher that the children are currently learning is the old gentleman who taught Gu Dingbei since childhood. He is talented and well-read. He is a noble man and received favors from the old prince when he was young, so he teaches the young masters in the palace.

It is said that the emperor had issued edicts many times to appoint him as an imperial tutor, but he declined each time on the grounds of poor health and wanting to return to his hometown to retire.

No one knows that he is now teaching in the Zhenbei Palace.

Looking at Gu Dingbei, "I want the children to stay in the palace! They need the best education and experience. Xiao An has always liked martial arts. Although he now has top guards to teach him martial arts, the flowers in the greenhouse will not bloom in the cold winter. I want him to hone his skills on the battlefield!"

Gu Dingbei looked at Shen Lianxin with admiration. He had long discovered that Gu Chengan was a talented general, extremely brave, and invincible among his peers. He was a bit honest and straightforward in character, but he actually had unique insights in military tactics.

After several inquiries, he found out that several children had actually read the book of magic tactics, which was given by Shen Lianxin. Shen Lianxin did not hide it from him and showed the book of tactics to Gu Dingbei for his approval. Gu Dingbei was shocked. The tactics and strategies in it were very wonderful. Many of them were the experience he had summed up with blood and tears for many years.

It was regarded as a sacred book by Gu Dingbei, and he read it with great relish.

The amount of knowledge of these children is astonishing, not only in military affairs, but also in many natural encyclopedias and weather changes. Even the youngest, Gu Chengzhen, knows that if there are many stars at night, it will be sunny tomorrow!
