Xue Qinglian didn't follow along when the party returned to Beijing this time.
The dust has settled on his affairs, and now that there are lonely people left, instead of going to a troubled place like the capital, he prefers to stay in Xinghua Village and watch the sunrise and sunset when he is interested, and hide his head in the house when he is not interested. Get a good night's sleep. When it was time to eat, the old lady screamed, which could help him drive away the sleepy bugs.
This kind of worm-like life is his lifelong pursuit.
Since he can be a rice bug here, what is he still running around.
Xue Qinglian felt very satisfied, so satisfied that there was a little sparrow around him that could not be driven away, which could be ignored.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after breakfast, the carriage in the Liu Family Courtyard left, carrying Liu Yusheng, wind and green cypresses, carrying Liu Zhixia, Fu Yuzheng, and the empress dowager and Sandou'er.
The excitement of the New Year's Day in the Liu Family Courtyard was suddenly reduced a lot because of a group of people walking in the house, but it did not hurt the rest of the people's mood.
The parting right now is short-lived, they will be reunited soon, and the future can be expected.
"It's freezing on the canal and we can't take the waterway. We can only go by land, and it will take at least a month to reach the capital. Empress, you and the beans may suffer this way."
"Ai's family has eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Can't Ai's family still eat bitterness?" The empress dowager snorted, and Lanhua pointed up, "Let's get on the road."
Liu Yusheng smiled, "Already on the road."
"Well, then get on the road."
Liu Zhixia touched her lips with a fist, coughed lightly, looked at Feng Qingbai, and got back to business, "Is there no latest news over there yet?"
Feng Qingbai shook his head, "Not yet, but it's coming soon. When we arrive in the capital, we should be able to receive the news."
"Xiliang and Nanling are separated by a canal. The canal will freeze in December. I am worried that Xiliang will take advantage of this time to launch an offensive. The entire freezing period will last at least three months. There is no way to cross the river to support..." Liu Zhixia frowned, his worry is not impossible.
Xiliang occupies a favorable geographical position. If he really intends to send troops, I am afraid that he will not miss such an opportunity.
"There is a 200,000 army in Nanling on the border, as well as a veteran General Qin. Even if it really fights, it will not be a problem to support it for a few months. After returning to Beijing, I will call on troops as soon as possible, prepare food and grass, and wait for March to cross the river. ."
These preparations did not take place overnight. They returned to the capital in February, and they had just prepared for one month.
"hope everything is fine."
"Will do."
After a brief conversation, the adults calmed down, and there were only a few young children babbling in the carriage.
And the empress dowager, who had always put all her energy on Croton Red Bean, appeared in numerous trances on the way back to Beijing, and several young people were watching.
Because I was worried about the border, this time I returned to Beijing almost day and night, and I rarely stopped to stay on the way.
The empress dowager didn't say a word, she gritted her teeth and persisted, and also helped Liu Yusheng and Fu Yuzheng to take care of Sandou'er very well.
With Liu Yusheng, similarly, the fatigue of a group of people can be kept to a minimum during long distances.
In early February, the carriage drove into the imperial city.
Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai and stepped into the gate of the palace. The emperor's decree came from the back of the palace, and Xuanfeng Qingbai entered the palace immediately.
Feng Mohan is desperate.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave the palace, he even wanted to rush to Nanling Palace to wait for the uncle himself.
In the past few days, he has stepped out of a pit on the ground of the Imperial Study Room.
"The emperor, the prince is here, here you are!" At the entrance of the Yushufang, seeing the purple figure from a distance, Xiaobanzi exclaimed excitedly.
No wonder he was so excited. From the time the will was passed to the Nanling Palace, the emperor had asked him a hundred or eighty times if the prince had come.
The magic sound pierced his brain, he could only endure it.
He hoped that the prince would come quickly than the emperor.
"Uncle Emperor, hurry, hurry! There is no time to delay, you quickly help me think of a solution!"
Before Feng Qingbai reached the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, there was a figure of Ming Huang rushing towards him quickly, until he reached his side and dared to drag him away.
"Why is it so urgent?"
"A big thing, something big! The northwest border is fighting! I just received the news from there, it was sent from the northwest a month ago!" Feng Mohan frowned extremely tightly.
The letter he received was from a month ago, that is to say, they have no way of knowing what is going on there now.
There is a one-month time difference between the northwest border and Nanling Imperial City.
Feng Qingbo also frowned.
The palace's orders were too hasty. He was stopped as soon as he entered the gate of the palace, so he could not return to the palace and asked if the secret guards in the palace had received the latest news.
From this point of view, the latest news should be that war has started over there.
As expected, Xiliang took advantage of this opportunity to launch an offensive. The attack was to take down the Nanling army when Nanling was blocked outside the canal and could not support the Nanling army in time.
"Now the canal is freezing, and there is no support for crossing the river in Nanling. There are only two ways to do it. Either wait until the canal freezes in March, or cut ice to cross the river. But the two methods actually take the same time."
All in all, in short, they can't help now, and they can't respond in time.
Ignoring the young man who was whispering in his ears, Feng Qingbai took the information from the border and looked at it from beginning to end.
It happened to be the first day of the New Year when Mao Taihe, the defensive general in Xiliang, provoked the war.
More than a month has passed since now.
"Uncle Emperor, how long can General Qin last?"
"I'm not in a hurry for the time being, this is information from General Qin, but there is no tension between the words. It only states that the war has started, and it proves that he is sure in a short time." Feng Qingbai sat down on the armchair and said to his face. There is no urgency, but the look in Feng Mohan's eyes is a little stern, "It's just a war. General Qin can calm down on the battlefield. You are sitting in the imperial city, but you are in chaos first? Feng Mohan, you are the emperor. "
Feng Mohan chilled on his back, "The emperor's lesson is that as an emperor, you must have the ability to be trusted by ministers. Soldiers will charge on the front line, and the king is their biggest backing."
Therefore, he, the king, can't mess around at any time.
Don't appear at a loss, don't bluff.
This is precisely when he shows his abilities and when he can gain the trust and support of courtiers to the greatest extent.
"Immediately make an order, order troops, prepare forage vessels, prepare them at the canal pier, and set off at the border as soon as the canal thaws."
The man's calm and indifferent voice in his ear calmed Feng Mohan's restlessness, making his mood calm and calm, and his chaotic mind gradually clear.
Immediately, an imperial decree flew out of the palace and flew into the hands of military generals in the imperial court.
