Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 356 The New Emperor
Ning Wan sent Prince Jinghai away, and turned around to question her daughter, "Did you know that Prince Jinghai has arrived in Hutai County?"

Huaihua'er blushed and said, "He said that he would never let me marry into someone else's family."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I listen to mother."

"Silly boy, this is your whole life, how can you just listen to your mother."

"But I don't really know."

Ning Wan called her daughter to sleep with her at night, and talked in the middle of the night. Unlike herself and Tie Shi who had been growing up in Liaodong since childhood, Huai Huaer was actually very vague about Liaodong, after all, she was only six years old when she left.Even with the capital city, she is not as familiar with the Fujian region. Although the Lu family has been in the capital city for a little longer, the youthful time is not as lively as when they grow up.

Speaking of Prince Jinghai, although they are not childhood sweethearts, they have been together for several years, from enemies to friends, they know each other very well, and Huaihua has a good impression of Prince Jinghai.Ning Wan smiled and asked, "Then why didn't you tell Mother earlier that you think he's not bad?"

"I told mother."

At that time Huai Hua did say that she would rather marry into the Jinghai Palace, but at that time she didn't listen to it at all, and only thought that her daughter was going to sacrifice for the family, so Ning Wan laughed, "You really are so confused."

"However, mother, I don't have to marry him, I still want to listen to father and mother."

Prince Jinghai's son is devoted to Huai Hua'er. One is because he is willing, and the other is that King Jinghai is also trying his best to promote this marriage. As for Huai Hua'er, he often hears opposition from Tie Shi and himself. She is a sensible child. , Of course, I will not promise others anything behind my parents' back.Besides, she was still young after all, and she didn't have a deep impression on Tieshi because of that special experience, so it's normal that she doesn't have too many opinions on marriage.

Ning Wan thought about it, and felt that this marriage was really good, better than the marriage she had seen for Huai Hua'er in Liaodong, so it wouldn't make Huai Hua'er's eyes darken when she married.After she figured it out, she smiled and said, "Forget it, it's also fate, but I never thought that you could marry in Fujian."

Putting her mind to rest, Ning Wan wrote a letter to Tie Shi, asking him what he meant, and took care of the family affairs and business accumulated over the years. After all, she left again, and she didn't know when she would come back.

Tie Shi spent more time with Prince Jinghai than his wife and children, and he also knew King Jinghai's position in Qingzhou, so he agreed without hesitation.Ning Wan simply followed what Prince Jinghai's son had said before, and asked him to hire him in Liaodong, and settled the marriage in a lively manner, which also made this trip to Liaodong a complete one.

The wealth and honor of Prince Jinghai’s mansion is comparable to that of the Heavenly Family, and Prince Jinghai’s son came prepared. Huai Hua’er’s dowry was a sensation. More than ten years later, some people still remembered it clearly and compared it with her younger sister. Arguing about which of the two sisters married better is of course a later story.

As soon as the weather got warmer, Ning Wan took the children to go south. It happened that the commander had received the military order to lead the troops to Beining Mansion. Chen Qianhu and many other generals accompanied them, and Mrs. Yang followed. When Ning Wan got the news, she went with them. Going out is lively and caring for each other.

The closer you get to Beining Mansion, the more soldiers gathered by the guards. Although Ning Wan has not been in Liaodong for ten years, she has experienced wars after all, so she felt strange and asked Mrs. Yang suspiciously, "Mr. Why did the military government deploy so many soldiers and horses?"

Mrs. Yang shook her head, "Thousands of our family said that they didn't know about the need for a commander, and they just followed the military orders of the General Military Mansion. People from each guard station were also asking each other along the way. I don't know why."

Ning Wan thought about it: "Liaodong is a border city after all, and the most important thing is to protect against the barbarians. Now all the guards have recruited a lot of people, what if the barbarians go south?"

"In spring, barbarians' horses are thin, and they usually don't go south," Madam Yang comforted her, "What's more, although a lot of soldiers were transferred to Anping and Hutai, many people were left to guard the city. It’s not that far away from the mansion, if something really changes, we can go back quickly.”

Ning Wan listened to it and had no choice but to do so. The Liaodong General Soldier is Dingwuhou, who has guarded the frontier fortress for decades. How could she not understand these principles?There must be a reason for the transfer of troops. As a female family member, if I want to inquire more, I am afraid that I will not be able to ask anything.

But when she arrived at Guangning Mansion, seeing the Liaodong army assembled and heading towards the capital, she couldn't feel at ease, so she wrote a letter to Tieshi before he was sent away. Prince Jinghai said: "We have carrier pigeons in our family. , Passing the book is very fast, mother-in-law will leave it to me."

Now that the marriage was settled, the address was changed, and the two became closer, so Ning Wan handed the letter to him, "I always feel terrified, but I hope it's over-intentional."

Prince Jinghai said with a smile: "Although our father and son have no different ambitions and agree with Zhongyuan Zhengshuo, but when it comes to the current emperor, it is indeed not the Ming Lord, but there is some change in the court, and a good emperor is replaced. It's not a bad thing either. At least the injustice my father-in-law suffered back then will be revealed to the world."

Ning Wan also hated the emperor, but she also knew that if there were any changes in the capital, it would be a major event, and the emperor would not be the only one who was unlucky, so she was very conflicted in her heart, and after thinking about it, she sighed: "It's better that nothing happens!"

When they arrived in Qingzhou, Tieshi was no longer at the port, leaving a letter for everyone, and he returned to Liaodong by land.It turned out that Qingzhou was much closer to the capital than Liaodong, so he began to mobilize troops early. At that time, Tieshi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out the reason. Later, when he learned that Liaodong soldiers were also transferred to the capital, he knew that something must have happened. So I decided to go back.

When Ning Wan heard this, she immediately became anxious, "I thought it must be a bad thing! Tie Shi must have seen it, his temper, how can he not be alone!"

Lu Song stayed in Qingzhou, and upon hearing this, he said: "Mother, now that Prince Jinghai's son is back, it's time to hand over the affairs of Qingzhou port to him. I'll go back to Liaodong to help father!"

Ning Wan was so anxious that she didn't avoid her child, and now she was willing to relax and went to Beijing, so she said with a straight face: "How old are you? What can you do for your father by going to Beijing! Or just stay in Beijing as your father ordered. Qingzhou assists the prince to defend the port and defend against the crown."

"I'm already fourteen!" Song'er was very dissatisfied with her mother's contempt, "My father went to Duolun when he was almost the same age! I can do it too!"

Ning Wan hurriedly said: "I'm not saying that you can't do it, but Qingzhou also needs to employ people. If the Japanese crown comes, someone must stay to protect the people!"

But Lu Song had his own reasons, "Wo Guan has suffered several setbacks recently, and he dare not invade Qingzhou at all. Besides, there are no other generals in the port, and he can leave the defense to them."

Huaihua'er said to his younger brother, "Father left you in Qingzhou, but mother wouldn't let you go. You didn't listen to them? You should just guard the port obediently."

"But there are too few people around Dad!"

When the Lu family came from the capital to Fujian, they only brought a dozen or so people with them. Later, some of their former subordinates defected, and Tie Shi set up a personal guard, but it was not easy to recruit troops under King Jinghai. It is under the command of King Jinghai.Now that he went to the capital, he naturally couldn't bring people from Jinghai Palace with him, so there was indeed a shortage of manpower.

However, now that Tieshi is no longer a general of the imperial court, what can he do?Ning Wan said: "Some things cannot be done well with a large number of people." As she said to send the children off, she was worried and thought about it half the night.

At noon on the second day, she knew that Prince Jinghai and Lu Song had gone northward with half of the ships in Qingzhou port!

Ning Wan anxiously said to the remaining soldiers: "The two of them are half-grown children, why did you listen to them and let them go!"

"The son has orders, we naturally obey!"

Pian Bai'er didn't think it was a big deal, and shouted loudly from the side, "Brothers are so disrespectful, they just ran away without taking me!" I want to help dad too!"

As things have been like this, Huai Hua'er came to persuade mother again, "Shizi and Song'er have been leading soldiers with father for many years, and father always trusts them when he has something to go out with, now they bring people with them, maybe they can really help father busy."

What else could Ning Wan do?Instead, he calmed down and urged the remaining soldiers to step up inspections to ensure the safety of the port.

Although he was worried about the two children, it would be beneficial for Prince Jinghai to go with him. Ning Wan was the first to learn about the situation of the battle through the letter sent by Feige from the palace, so she could feel relieved early.

Tie Shi galloped back to Liaodong by land, and when he arrived at Beining Prefecture, he heard the news that the barbarians were going south. He persuaded the left-behind soldiers of the Beining Prefecture General Army to join him in rescuing the front line of Hutai in Anping. Shizi and Song'er led troops to send troops all the way from Huju Mountain, and together with several defenders from Anping Hutai, they defeated the barbarians.

At this time, more news came. It was from last year that the Khan King Mengtel and his brother Jumuge in the desert had turned against the Qingmu tribe. Speak to the emperor and ask the court and the Qingmu tribe to attack King Khan.Regardless of the objections of the ministers, the emperor dispatched troops from the nine borders of the north and went north to the desert, only hoping that after the First World War, he would be famous in history like the great ancestor.The result was of course Aoki's plan, the imperial army was defeated, all the important officials who accompanied him died, and the emperor was captured.Then the barbarian soldiers and horses went south and surrounded the capital.However, they wanted to use the emperor and the prince as a threat to enter the capital, but they failed. There was no emperor in the capital, and the courtiers went to the gate of the Cining Palace to ask for an audience. !

Ning Wan remembered that many years ago she had unintentionally ridiculed that the emperor would be tricked into the desert by Aoki and his son, and she didn't want her words to become a prophecy.Although it was right, it was not a happy thing, so I thought again, "I don't know how the empress dowager is doing now?"

Over the years, Ning Wan never forgot to present carefully prepared gifts to the Empress Dowager every Chinese New Year and Qianqiu Festival. The things presented are naturally the most precious, but the most important thing is not the objects. She will always remember the empress dowager's love for Tie Shi and herself good.And every time she gets a reward or letter from the empress dowager, she is very happy when she knows that the empress dowager has been living an indifferent, quiet and contented life.

Even if the empress dowager is unwilling to take part in politics anymore, she still stirs up the chaos. It is said that she even brought a full set of empress dowager ceremonies to the city wall to show the people in the capital that she will live and die with the capital.Nowadays, the officials and people in the capital all follow the lead of the empress dowager. After all, she is the orthodox representative of the imperial family!
The empress dowager who never mentioned a major political issue, even when pleading for Tie Shi back then, did not say a word about Tie Shi's political achievements, at most she said that he had saved the late emperor, but now he is so tough, it is really unexpected.

However, Ning Wan still believed that the empress dowager could calm down the chaos in the capital.Thinking about it carefully, the empress dowager is really a very smart and wise person.I still remember when we were playing cards together, everyone tried to make her win money and make her happy. In fact, she knew everything clearly, but she just refused to say it.The past emperor, King Jing, and the current emperor, which one's thoughts and dispositions are not clear to her?So she sat firmly on the throne of queen and empress dowager without relying on her natal family at all!

Sure enough, the empress dowager held the capital after presiding over the government. The barbarians saw that the Liaodong army had defeated the enemy and pressed all the way west. They were afraid that the way back would be blocked, and another Qin king's army from all over the country would come to Beijing, so they hijacked the emperor and retreated to the desert.

However, Ning Wan didn't expect that after the court was stabilized, the Empress Dowager appointed the eldest son of Dongping County King as the new emperor.

After the barbarians retreated, the empress dowager held a grand funeral ceremony for the emperor and the prince. Although no one saw the emperor and the prince being killed by the barbarians, and everyone thought that the barbarians would not kill the emperor and prince easily, After all, they were still counting on rare goods to live in, but the funeral was still done. Obviously, even if the emperor and the prince came back, they would no longer be the emperor and the prince.

Even if she had known that the Empress Dowager was not as gentle and calm as she looked, sometimes it was hard for Ning Wan to imagine that she would be so strong, using a funeral to directly send the emperor and the prince into hell, and then serve " The emperor who died" established an heir.

Your Majesty, no, it should be called the first emperor now. Originally, there were not many heirs. The prince who was established earlier died early, and now the remaining two sons were also taken away by the barbarians with him. Choose among the royal family.

Ning Wan repeatedly praised the shrewdness of the Empress Dowager in her heart.Declaring the death of the emperor and the prince to the people of the world not only eliminated the wolfish ambitions of the Yi people, but also eliminated the possibility of the emperor returning to the court; establishing an heir also cut off the possibility of King Gong's succession. The name is justified; the most important thing is that the candidate for the heir can be decided by the empress dowager, so she finally bypassed the son of King Jing who had the closest blood source, and adopted the eldest son of King Dongping as his heir and grandson, and established him as the new emperor.
