Lord Prime Minister

In the spring of Guangcheng's 51st year, the ice and snow melted, everything recovered, and the frontier was rarely peaceful.

After the beginning of spring, the Xiongnu did not violate the border, and the recovered city gradually gained popularity under the care of a winter. The people who were forced to flee their homes before began to move back. For the soldiers who lived in simple tents outside the city and helped them regain their homes, they Expressing great gratitude, in order not to let them suffer from the cold, they kept sending things from home.

Gang Ping was holding a stove in his hand. The training ended early today, and it was time for the ice to melt. He was shivering after staying outside for a while, not to mention that he had been standing in the snow for three hours just now.

He took out the fire pocket and lit it, and Gang Ping put his hands together, leaning on the small flame to keep warm.While warming up the fire, he complained again. At the beginning, after hearing what the prince said, he planned to go back to the capital to have a good meal, but he didn't expect to be sent here in less than two months.

As soon as he arrived here, he could not tolerate his complaints, and the 1000-man army was broken up and merged with Gu Li's previous team. More than two thousand people.

Before they had time to react, they were dragged onto the battlefield by the dumbfounded. After a few narrow escapes, the two brothers gradually adapted to life here.It was not until the city was recovered a few months ago that the two finally found the value left behind.

The peaceful life of begging in the past is indeed very different from the life of hanging your head on your belt now, but when Gang Ping stood on the recovered city, overlooking the endless grassland, and the Xiongnu who were beaten to the ground by them, in his heart An unprecedented satisfaction gushed out.

It's good to stay here like this.

The moisture in the firewood he picked up was dried out, and the flames gradually grew higher. Gang Ping took out a pot and put it on the shelf. Gang Zheng, who had gone to the river to fetch ice, just came back. Besides the ice, he also brought two fresh river fish.

Trim off the edges that were stained with soil, and throw the rest into the pot to heat the water. Okapira took the two fish, scaled and gilled them neatly, washed them briefly after removing the internal organs, cut them up and threw them into the pot.

The younger brother, Gang, was squatting by the stove, warming up, and only added more firewood when his body was warmed up. "The ice on the river has almost melted, and the stove won't be needed in a few days. Send it back."

"I've already said that Gu Qianhu will send me to the city to do some shopping some other day, and I'll send them back together at that time." Gang Ping took out a spoon and tasted the soup. They didn't have seasoning, not even the most basic salt, but fortunately The fish here is delicious and has a unique taste.

After cooking for a while, the two of them shared food, cleaned up the stove, turned off the fire, and walked towards the training ground.

Before they got there, the assembly horns came to mind. The sound was two short and one long. It was not the Huns who came to invade, but to call the soldiers to discuss things.

The two brothers looked at each other, quickened their pace, and ran to the training ground. At this time, a large number of soldiers had already stood up, and Gu Li was also standing in front of the team. The two quickly found their positions and stood in.

After waiting for a while, a courier who was wearing a black short shirt and specialized in delivering news came out and presented a roll of yellow paper. "The emperor's word of mouth has been delivered."

Gu Li saluted, took the yellow paper and unfolded it to look at it. There was no change on his tough face. After a few glances, he turned around and scanned all the soldiers.

"The emperor ordered that the three princesses will marry Mr. Tiju Hong, the director of the salt department, in the near future. Two thousand infantrymen, five hundred cavalrymen and their generals will be brought under Longxiu Qianhu's soldiers. They will be managed by Gu Li temporarily until Long Qianhu returns. Xinjiang returned."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience, but Gu Li didn't stop it, and after a while, it quieted down again.

"After the dissolution, the generals will stay and discuss with me." Gu Li waved his hand and dismissed the team.

Gu Li brought the remaining generals into the tent to discuss the specific matters ahead.

Gang Ping called together 50 people who usually train together, and began to practice martial arts against the cold wind.

The usual favorite training, but today I am a little absent-minded.

The appearance of the three princesses leading the soldiers to kill the enemy is still vivid in my memory, and the aura of women's unyielding behavior made the Xiongnu terrified.Then he remembered the way the third princess sat in the pile of dead people after the victory that day, holding the spear used by the son-in-law and weeping. Now that she has returned to Beijing, she has ended up like this.

It's really sad.

After thinking about it, the job of killing people in the frontier is much better than that in the capital.

Mu Zihuai had just come out of the princess mansion, and there were two pieces of clothes in the bag in his hand, one spring clothes and one summer clothes, both brought by the third princess for the little prince.

A month ago, Sun Xiuwen, the prime minister on the right, wrote a letter proposing that the third princess remarry, hoping that she would get out of the pain of losing her husband in the past.The emperor was already dissatisfied with the former concubine, so it was no pity for him to die on the battlefield at this time, and he readily accepted the right minister's proposal.List the marriageable sons of the ministers, and after various selections, five people are left, and the information of these five people is sent to the Princess Mansion.

According to the palace rules, if the princess remarries, her son should be adopted by the queen and handed over to the nanny to raise him.

The third princess was unwilling at first, not only did not want to remarry during the mourning period, but she was also afraid that the little prince would go to the palace and be wronged.But the imperial list has been posted, and the whole country knows about the marriage of the three princesses, so there is no room for her to object.

On the second day, the emperor sent someone to bring Xiao Shizi into the palace and hand it over to the queen.At dusk, the three princesses entered the palace to face the saint, and went to Kunning Palace first, only to see the little prince sitting on a stone and crying loudly.

The third princess went up to ask the reason, Xiao Shizi hugged his mother and cried out of breath, stumbling and saying that the maid was going to beat him, saying that his mother didn't want him anymore.

Having just entered the palace and suffered such grievances, how could the third princess dare to leave Xiao Shizi in the palace, and carried her to the emperor's Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Guangcheng was reviewing the memorial, when the three princesses broke in, with a frosty face and said this time, with tears in his eyes and a sad face.

Seeing that she has always been strong, even Princess Aowei who did not shed a single tear when her mother died, Emperor Guangcheng's heart suddenly softened.They sent someone to call the queen to ask if there was any such thing.

The queen was still a little happy, things went as planned, the young prince entered the palace, and by doing so, she could coerce the third princess into marrying Hong Shaoqing's son, so as to win over a general.

I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time. She clearly gave an order to take care of her, so how could anyone obey her?Ask which palace lady said it?Which court lady wants to beat him?He asked three questions again, which really made the queen a little anxious.

Emperor Guangcheng had always treated the empress with respect and was generous to others, so he didn't blame her at this time, he just asked the third princess that if she didn't want the empress to adopt her, she could be adopted by others.

The third princess thought about it, and knew that this matter could not be escaped, so she thought about the adult princes and princesses, and they happened to live outside the palace. At this time, only the fourth prince and the fifth prince were left as candidates.

Then he thought that the fifth prince likes men, and has a wild and unruly personality, so he is bound to have fewer children in this life.Although he is the queen's son, the queen obviously does not list him among the prospective princes, but if the second prince ascends the throne in the future, the fifth prince who is born as a younger brother is enough to enjoy himself for a lifetime.He is indeed the most suitable candidate, and Dang even answered that he is willing to adopt him to the Fifth Prince.

The queen was a little worried before, but when she heard that the third princess had chosen the fifth prince, she immediately relaxed and agreed.

Now the young prince has lived in the palace for more than half a month, and the mansion is outside the palace. The third princess came over to have a look when she missed her, and both parties were very satisfied.

And Mu Zihuai's trip was not for these two clothes, but for another purpose.

In this bundle was the information about Hong Pu'an that the prince ordered him to send, and conveyed the prince's meaning to the three princesses.If someone comes from the palace, he will be chosen as the son-in-law.

The third princess agreed without thinking too much about it, and said it made no difference to her whoever she chose, now she has only one son left, and she only asks him to be safe.

Mu Zihuai went back to the palace with the burden, told the prince what the third princess had said, and went to see Xiaoshizi with his clothes.

He changed his surname because he was adopted by the prince. At this time, the young prince named Huangfu Ruibo was sitting on a chair and eating dinner alone.

He was dressed in a blue padded jacket, and his brows were frowning, as if he had never relaxed. I wonder if it was because of living in the frontier for three years, the young son was very independent.You don't need to be waited on when you take off your clothes and eat, and you don't make any noise when you arrive at the palace, which makes people feel at ease and at the same time makes people feel distressed.

Xiao Shizi finished his meal quietly, looked up and saw Mu Zihuai standing at the door, his face finally showed joy.

"Did brother go to see mother?"

Mu Zihuai stepped in, asked the servant girl to clean up the table, and said with a smile, "Young Master, just call me by my name." He opened the bag in his hand, "The third princess told me to bring two clothes, and I'll be here soon." It’s summer, and the padded jacket will need to be changed after wearing it for a while.”

Xiao Shizi happily picked up the clothes and compared them on himself. "Can I put it on now?"

Mu Zihuai shook his head: "The weather is still cold now, and we will have to wait at least half a month before we can wear it." After finishing speaking, he put away the clothes again.

Xiao Shizi did not give up and followed behind him. "When will my mother get married? Will I be able to wear it then?"

"If everything is settled, it may take a month." Mu Zihuai folded the clothes neatly, thought for a while and said, "It should be able to be worn by then."

"That would be great." Xiao Shizi returned to the chair and sat down, looking very happy.

The son is still young, so I'm afraid he doesn't have much impression of the original son-in-law. At this time, the mother is going to remarry and I can't see the reason for it. It's just a happy event.

Mu Zihuai felt a little sentimental for a moment, it's fine if Shizi is like this, and it's fine if he doesn't understand anything.

"Hey, Mu Zihuai, will mother have other children after she gets married?" Xiao Shizi asked suddenly.

Mu Zihuai glanced at him, and saw that he was looking down at his toes, with his small head directed at him.My heart ached for no reason, "How could you think of such a boring thing?"

"I heard the maid said today that my mother will have other children in the future, and she won't come to see me then." Xiao Shizi whispered each word in a soft voice.

Mu Zihuai stepped forward and touched the top of his hair. "Nonsense, the third princess will always be the mother of Xiao Shizi. She didn't come here these days because she was busy. Didn't you just ask me to deliver the clothes?"

Xiao Shizi nodded, but still didn't speak.

Mu Zihuai sighed silently. "It's getting late, Xiao Shizi, go to bed first, sleep more to grow taller."

"Can it grow to be as tall as Brother Long Xiu?" Xiao Shizi blinked and finally raised his head and asked.

"Of course, taller than him." Mu Zihuai pulled him to the bed and promised with a smile.

Xiao Shizi changed his clothes obediently, and lay down on the bed, "Will you take me out to play tomorrow?"

Mu Zihuai helped him press the quilt.He said softly, "I'm very busy tomorrow, but I can take you to Long Xiu in a few days."

"it is good."

After blowing out the lamp, Mu Zihuai coaxed him to sleep before leaving the room lightly.

The moon was already high outside, and two maids were standing at the door.Seeing them, Mu Zihuai turned cold: "I will cut off your tongues when I hear you chewing your tongues in the future."

The two were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

Mu Zihuai looked at them coldly, explained a few more words, then turned and walked towards Yixiangyuan.
