The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 168 The Peach Blossom Blooms ([-])

The next day was another sunny day.

With yesterday's experience, Cui Youbo and Liu Han entered the capital hall smoothly, found their seats, and prepared for the exam.

When Wei Yuan came in, Cui Youbo had already lit the copper cauldron, and the single seats were also baked extremely warm.

Considering that this is an examination room, Wei Yuan didn't dare to make any noise, he just coughed a few times, and after attracting Cui Ba's attention, he smiled and bowed his hands.

Cui Bagang moved the single seat and went back to the original place, seeing Wei Yuan like this, he quickly straightened up, bowing his hands in return.

The two of them didn't speak, but with the friendship of eating together yesterday, there was a tacit understanding, and the mood between them was quite happy.

After a while, the chief examiner came, and after saluting with the examiners, he ordered the small officials who patrolled the field to hand out the test papers.

Today's test is policy theory.

Cui Ba drank a cup of warm snow fungus and red dates soup, rubbed his cold hands, then carefully removed the sealing rope on the test paper, unfolded the test paper, and read the test questions word by word.

After reading, Cui Ba showed a heavy expression on his face.

The test question this time is... Is it true that, as Ah Weng said, the sage will use troops against Goryeo just after the Gaochang Rebellion was quelled? !

If A Weng's expectations come true, then the sage used this as a test question, is he implying something to the courtiers?Or is it to create public opinion in advance for the use of troops?
Cui Ba held his pen, pondering over and over again with a solemn expression, and A Weng's words came to mind again, "...Silla is a subject of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is being bullied by Goryeo. The saint must worry about it."

For some reason, he suddenly remembered Xiao Nan's jokes.

That day, Uncle Cui went to Rongkangju's study to discuss some current affairs with Ah Weng, and after returning, he casually mentioned a few words to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan once said with a smile, "Goryeo, the clown who jumped the beam, is now an enemy of the Celestial Dynasty, and the superiors will punish him. However, it is located in Liaodong. You also have to be prepared.”

Hearing this, Cui Youbo was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiao Nan's point of view to be so similar to Ah Weng's, he hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and asked her repeatedly how to plan and prepare.

Xiao Nan only reasoned that he was a housewife, but a few jokes were not accurate.

In the end, I really couldn't shirk it, so I smiled and said, "War is fought in the rear, and it is the supply of war preparations. As long as the horses, food, grass, equipment and winter coats are sufficient, the disadvantages of too long a battle line can be avoided. With the sage's sage, soldiers His bravery, the divine power of the Celestial Dynasty, will surely defeat Goryeo and put an end to the calamity of Liaodong."

At the end, Xiao Nan added, "You can refer to the Battle of Gaochang."

It also pointed out that some geographical features of Gaochang are similar to those of Goryeo, and the winter is extremely cold. If this problem can be solved, the chaos in Goryeo is not a concern.

After hearing this, Cui Youbo felt that it was reasonable, and he didn't care about taking a rest, so he hurriedly went to the outer study to check the information, and discussed with Liu Han by the way.

At that time, Cui Youbo didn't know the geographical feature of Gaochang. He asked Liu Han who traveled around to find out why.Knowing the specific situation, Cui Youbo went to ask A Weng for advice. During the battle of Gaochang, A Weng was still the minister of the household department, and he was most familiar with the military supplies allocated to the army at that time.

Later, in order to obtain more authentic information, Cui Youbo went to ask his second uncle. After all, he had been a general in the Northwest for several years and knew the customs, treasures and specialties there best.

From written battle reports to real-life cases, after a long investigation, Cui Youbo finally has an understanding of Gaochang and other bitter cold places.

By the way, I also have a more specific impression of Goryeo, which is far away in Liaodong.

Looking back now, I can actually talk about it with eloquence.

After sorting out his thoughts, Cui Youbo reached out to touch the Zihao brush, lightly dipped it in enough ink, and began to lean over his desk to make a fuss.

……

After the New Year, the capital ushered in the annual Spring Festival, which attracted the attention of many people.

And the happy event in Changle Princess Mansion became the latest focus, which really surprised the nobles of the upper class.

After many people got the news, they couldn't help but look up at the sun, and said in their hearts: The sun hasn't risen from the west yet. How come the princess who was sentenced to death by the imperial doctor and said that she would never get pregnant has become an old clam again? Raw pearls? !
Before people could finish digesting the news, Jiao Lei exploded on top of their heads - Song Guogong, who had been exiled from Beijing, actually wrote a note and asked to be crowned heir.

This news was originally inconspicuous, but Xiao Gong's invitation to be the crown prince really scared a group of people's jaws off—it was none other than Xiao Bo, the eldest son of Prince Consort Xiao Jing's concubine.

Well, according to the official statement, Xiao Bo is the son of the princess, the legitimate son.

However, everyone in the know knows that he is just the bastard son of Xiao Jing's concubine, and he was raised under the princess's name only because the princess has no children.

If the sage wanted to take the Xiao family into action, he could use this as an excuse to directly cut off Duke Song's title.After all, the concubine can't inherit the title at this moment, and the concubine raised under the name of the aunt is basically a concubine.

However, the saint is not a fake saint, and he doesn't really hate the Xiao family. Although the capricious old man who lost his face four times made him feel a little uncomfortable, his favorite eldest daughter is still detained in the Xiao family as a daughter-in-law. It's not good for him to be too harsh on the Xiao family.

Besides, if Xiao Yu secretly invited Princess Changle to be the heir, the sage would definitely reject it and issue an imperial edict to reprimand the Xiao family father and son; but he learned from the queen that it was his precious daughter who made Xiao Bo the heir. mean.

...The sage had no objection, so he had to grant Xiao Yu's request.

Then, the sage remembered that the eldest daughter finally had a happy event, so he, as an Aye, should give some rewards.

Then, the empress reminded that the strange old man of the Xiao family was still being punished outside. If it is to reward the Xiao family, it is better to pardon Xiao Yu and return to Beijing, so that the son-in-law will be able to remember his daughter's good, and it will also benefit the daughter's family harmony.

And then, Xiao Yu, who just left Beijing last year, was called back to Beijing by the sage in less than half a year, and was once again conferred the title of 'Tongzhong Shumenxia Sanpin', that is, Prime Minister.

Well, after Xiao Yu was dismissed for the fourth time, he was named prime minister for the fifth time, which really made the nobles in Beijing really envious - the Xiao family's holy family is very prosperous.

However, compared with Song Guogong's ups and downs, what attracts people's attention is why the princess is pregnant.

Because at this time there were rumors in Beijing that the reason why the eldest princess was able to conceive again was mainly because she and her son-in-law ate the fruits and vegetables produced by the "Shenxian Fudi" all the year round.

What is a blessed land of immortals?

It is said that this place was accidentally discovered by the kite kept by the eldest princess’s family. This place is located on the bank of Lishan Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain. , The fairy land of mountain springs.

According to legend, the fruits and vegetables there are available in all seasons, and if you pick them today, they will grow back tomorrow.Whether it is vegetables or fruits, the taste is delicious and abnormal. Eating it can cure diseases and strengthen the body without diseases.

Wei Zheng and Prince Wei know that when he was last year, he was very ill and almost died, and he was almost hanging on his breath. If the saints and queens were not generous and benevolent, and gave them hundred-year-old wild ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to hang their lives, he, he would not have died. It won't be until the end of the year.

As a result, last winter, the sage gave some fruits and vegetables from the blessed land of the gods. After eating it, Prince Wei was able to go to the field by himself.After eating for a month, he was able to enter the palace with the support of his children and grandchildren to thank him. It is said that two days ago he was fighting with the saint in the palace, bluntly admonishing the saint not to use troops lightly, so angry that the saint returned to the harem and directly lifted the table .

And Empress Xiao from the previous dynasty knows that she is 80 years old, and she suffered from a serious illness last year, and she almost couldn't be saved.Later, because his younger brother Xiao Yu was demoted from Beijing, the old man fell ill again under worry.It was still the Eldest Princess who was the nephew and daughter-in-law. She personally brought some fresh fruits and vegetables to Empress Xiao's residence, and even discussed with the old man that the fruits and vegetables she ate would not have to be purchased from outside in the future. The Princess's residence would send them to her every day.

The old man liked the gentle and virtuous princess very much, and seeing that she was sincere to him, he readily agreed.

Since then, Empress Xiao has eaten the fruits and vegetables sent by the Princess Mansion every day, and her health has been extremely good. During the Lantern Festival this year, she even rode a horse to the street to watch the lanterns.

and also……

All kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, making the rich and powerful in Beijing feel envious.

And the happy event of the eldest princess made many childless noble ladies very excited. Those who had a relationship licked their faces and asked for fruits and vegetables, and those who didn't care tried to find ways to make a relationship but also came to visit.

For a while, the Grand Princess' Mansion in Chongrenfang was full of traffic, and every day there were so many visitors that the Yuan family's sisters-in-law were almost paralyzed.

Princess?Hehe, the eldest princess is such a smart person, she has long refused to see all visitors in the name of raising babies.

If she really couldn't push it away, she quietly told the other party that her pregnancy was not due to some god's blessing, but the miraculous effect of her benevolence and generosity - the tax reduction and exemption of [-] closed households, what a great merit.

This kind of rhetoric from the eldest princess can't convince those who want to spy, but if they don't tell it to death, others can't do anything about it.

Forced by power?
Are you kidding me?The eldest princess is the jewel in the palm of saints and empresses today. Just look at the various preferences of the two big bosses for the eldest princess. Even the prince and his family dare not show the future king's profile in front of the elder sister-there are more than 20 saints. Four, but only the daughter of the eldest princess was named princess, which is the treatment for the daughter of the princess!

The eldest princess is not the only smart person in the world, and soon someone thought of the only daughter of the eldest princess, Xiao Nan.

Everyone thought that the eldest princess loves this daughter the most, and if there is something good, Xiao Nan will definitely get a share.

As a result, the huge passenger flow in front of the Princess's Mansion instantly flowed towards Cui's house.

Xiao Nan, who was sitting at home coaxing her children, soon discovered that she had become the focus of attention of the noble ladies in Beijing, and she could count all the famous invitations she received every day.

But she doesn't know, because the old lady still has something to tell her...
