On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were busy visiting relatives and friends, and held two banquets at home to entertain friends who came to visit. In short, this year has been busy, and it will not be over until after the fifteenth day .

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Bailu Academy began to teach, Dabao went to the academy, and Sanbao also left for Ningzhou. The Ningzhou Medical Office had just been built, and Sanbao was inseparable, so he set off for Ningzhou early.

Lu Jiao prepared a bunch of things for him to take with him.

Sanbao left the capital with his parents' love for him.

Dabao and Sanbao left home, Xie's house became deserted again, Xie Yunjin started to go to court, although the wound on his face was still not healed, but it faded a lot, and he didn't look so scary anymore.

Lu Jiao was the only one left in the entire Xie family. Lu Jiao went to the beauty salon to help people make faces when she had nothing to do. This made Nie Yuyao very happy, and it was also very strange.

"Jiaojiao, why are you so idle?"

Because of Xie Yunjin's warning, Lu Jiao didn't plan to do anything eye-catching anymore. After hearing Nie Yuyao's words, she smiled and said, "I'm not allowed to be idle. I've been too busy before. From now on, I've decided to take care of all the big things. Let the men do it, and I will be responsible for eating and drinking myself."

Nie Yuyao laughed: "I'm afraid you won't be free."

"No, this time I promise to be free, and come to accompany you when I have nothing to do."

This made Nie Yuyao happy, she nodded again and again: "Okay."

Lu Jiao thought of Hu Lingxue's arrival, and asked with concern, "Lingxue will graduate in a few months, right?"

"Well, wait until August to graduate?"

Dabao is sixteen this year, and Hu Lingxue is seventeen this year, and the children seem to be growing up.

Nie Yuyao and Lu Jiao shared their feelings, and Lu Jiao suggested: "After they are named on the Great Treasure Gold List next year, let the two of them get married."

Nie Yuyao naturally did not object, Dabao is the eldest brother, after getting married, there will be a second treasure and a third treasure to marry later.

Thinking of the second treasure and the third treasure, Nie Yuyao asked Lu Jiao with concern: "The big treasure, the second treasure and the fourth treasure are all engaged in marriage, have you engaged with the third treasure?"

Lu Jiao sighed and said, "During the Chinese New Year, I asked him if he wanted to make an appointment for him. He said that there was no rush. He just wanted to get the medical office done right now. He was not in a hurry to get engaged. Now the engagement must be done." After getting married, his wife may not be willing to go to Ningzhou with him, and what he means is that he will be a doctor in the future, and he doesn't want to marry a noble daughter. Bitter, so he doesn't want to look for it in the capital."

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, Nie Yuyao sighed, "Your children are all big kids, and they are obviously young, but listening to what he said, even a grown man would not be able to say what he said."

Lu Jiao smiled and said nothing, but she was in a good mood.

Lu Jiao's life is very comfortable, but Xie Yunjin's life is not peaceful. Twelve nomadic tribes outside the northwest border launched an attack on the northwest.

General Wang sent an urgent message to Beijing overnight, and hoped that His Majesty would send troops to support him.

The twelve tribes outside the northwest border have never been so united before. This time they are united because the mountains have been covered by heavy snow this winter, and several places have been crushed. The twelve tribes are in urgent need of food, so it is rare for them to be united. Snatch Yueyuan Pass in the northwest. If Yueyuan Pass is taken by them, the people in the pass will be kidnapped and killed wantonly.

Because the opponent was relatively fierce and attacked several checkpoints at the same time, the army in the northwest did not dare to move at will, so General Wang could only ask His Majesty in Beijing for help.

After Xiao Yu received the report, he immediately called the cabinet to discuss this matter, and at the same time called several important ministers in the court into the palace to discuss this matter, and sent troops to the northwest to support.

In the end, King Jin stood up and was willing to lead troops to the northwest to support him. After listening to King Jin's words, Xiao Yu agreed.

Right now the northwest is in an emergency, if the prince leads the team in person, it will definitely inspire the courage of the soldiers, so Xiao Yu approved King Jin's performance.

It's just that Xiao Yu agreed, the empress didn't know how to know about it, and rushed out of Kunning Palace like crazy to stop it.

"Your Majesty, you can't, you can't let King Jin go to the northwest. He is a prince who doesn't know how to march and fight. What is he going to do? Your Majesty, please take it back."

Xiao Yu looked down at the empress with disheveled hair with an ugly expression.

"Li Yunshan, look at your appearance, do you still have the appearance of a queen?"

Li Yunshan cried and shook her head: "The concubine does not want to be graceful, the concubine does not want her son to die, the concubine only has such a son, please Your Majesty, for the sake of the concubine's serving your majesty for many years, don't let Zhen'er go to the northwest."

Li Yunshan felt that King Jin would definitely die if he left, and she even suspected that Xiao Yu asked Xiao Zhen to go to the northwest just to kill his son.

She couldn't let him kill her son.

Li Yunshan's thoughts almost overflowed his face, how could Xiao Yu not see it, he looked at Li Yunshan with a sneer.

How can such a woman deserve to be a queen, even suspecting that he harmed her son, isn't her son his son?

The reason why Xiao Yu agreed to let King Jin lead his troops to the northwest this time was because Xiao Zhen rarely won such an opportunity. As a father, he still wanted to give Xiao Zhen a chance to prove himself.

It's just that he didn't expect the queen to guess him so viciously.

Xiao Yu looked at the lower queen with serious eyes: "Does King Jin know that you are preventing him from going to the northwest?"

The queen said quickly: "I will tell him about this matter, I just ask His Majesty not to let him lead troops to the northwest."

Xiao Yu ignored the queen, but ordered the eunuch Donglin: "Immediately Xuan Jin enters the palace."

Xiao Zhen quickly entered the palace, and knew that her mother prevented her from leading troops to the northwest.

Xiao Zhen himself didn't really want to go to the northwest, but Lin Jing told him that this was an opportunity to establish a good reputation and he couldn't miss it, not to mention that leading troops to the northwest was just for show, and he was not asked to fight in person.

Xiao Zhen thought about it, so he asked to play, and his father agreed.

He was happy at first, but he didn't expect his mother to prevent him from going to the northwest.

"Mother, my son is willing to lead troops to the northwest to support General Wang and the others."

After hearing Xiao Zhen's words, the queen glared at him angrily and shouted: "Shut up, do you know how terrifying those nomadic tribes are? They all kill people without blinking an eye. If something happens to you, what will the queen do?" ?”

After hearing what the queen said, Xiao Zhen hesitated a little: "Queen mother, no, sons and ministers don't need to fight, wars are the business of the generals."

The queen still disagreed after hearing this, and cried and said: "Zhen'er, the queen mother only has you as a child. If something happens to you, how can you call the queen mother to live? Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. One carelessness can easily lead to death. There are villains plotting against you, you are very dangerous."

As soon as the queen said, Xiao Zhen thought of Ming Wang Xiao Wenyu. Didn't Xiao Wenyu and his mother send someone to assassinate him when Xiao Wenyu went to Lingyang before? If he went to the northwest this time, Xiao Wenyu would definitely order someone to go to the northwest to kill him.

It is indeed dangerous.

Xiao Zhen was a little hesitant, but thinking that Xiao Yu was ready to play, he was in a dilemma again.

"Empress Mother, Emperor Father is ready to play."

After hearing Xiao Zhen's words, the Queen immediately turned to look at Xiao Yu: "Your Majesty, please take it back."

Xiao Yu looked at the queen, and then at King Jin Xiao Zhen, this time she was really disappointed in him.

The dignified prince of the Xiao family was actually cultivated by the empress with such virtues. He clearly decided to do this, but he hesitated because of the benevolence of the empress's wife. Is such a person worthy to be the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Xiao Yu was very disdainful, and was too lazy to insist on letting Xiao Zhen lead the troops to the northwest.

"If you don't want to go, don't go."

Seeing his father's indifferent expression, Xiao Zhen's heart sank, and he subconsciously wanted to express his willingness to go to the northwest, but the queen pulled him to thank her and leave.

Later, Xiao Yu pinched his eyebrows with a headache. He had already approved King Jin's Qin before, and the courtiers also knew that this time King Jin personally led troops to the northwest to support, but King Jin retreated before the battle. What should we do?

Xiao Yu thought about it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows to signal Dong Lin to come over, and Dong Lin left in response, and Xiao Wenyu was soon informed of this matter.

In the evening, Xiao Wenyu came to ask for an order, willing to lead the army to the northwest.

Xiao Yu is ready to play!
