Guozijian little cook

Chapter 698 Enemy Attack in the North

Guo Sixue took her things out of the city in a low-key manner that night.

She didn't bring many people or things with her.

Therefore, if you walk quietly at night, you won't attract too much attention on the road.

When Xiao Nianzhi wanted to send someone off the next day, he discovered...

People have left.

In response, Guo Yinghui smiled sheepishly: "The mission is important, the mission is important."

Xiao Nianzhi did understand, so he didn't mean to be angry.

Moreover, we had something to eat together yesterday, which was also a kind of farewell.

So, there is no regret.

I hope the other party can stay safe until there is real peace at the border.

However, Xiao Nianzhi also understood clearly.

There can be no peace.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

If you act weaker, the opponent will press you.

If you act more forcefully, the other party will look for opportunities to attack you.

The late emperor spent half his life fighting, and coupled with the intimidation of so many soldiers and generals at the border, he only allowed the northwest border to be peaceful for less than thirty years.

So, peace...

Unless you are so strong that if the other person touches you, you will be broken into pieces.

Otherwise, it’s just a thought.

Xiao Nianzhi didn't think much, turned around and devoted himself to his work.

As the weather gets colder, greenhouses need to get busy.

After all, the most important part here is specifically for the palace.

Exclusively for the royal family, it’s not just talk.

Quality and the like definitely need to be guaranteed.

You’ve never seen particularly fresh and delicious green vegetables before, so that’s okay.

Your Majesty also has tolerance for some wilted vegetables.

but……

After seeing it, it is reasonable to raise the request by the way, right?

Therefore, Shanglinyuan needs to be extra attentive.

It’s getting cold, so remember to shelter in time.

The north wind direction definitely needs all kinds of straw to cover it tightly.

It doesn’t mean that once the glass shed is closed, you can sit back and relax and don’t need to think about anything else.

The glass itself is windproof, but not cold resistant.

Therefore, a suitable amount of dry straw, quilts, etc. are also needed to provide shade and cold protection to ensure the normal growth of plants.

When the time comes every day, these things need to be opened to ensure that the plants can get sunlight and meet their daily needs.

Xiao Nianzhi does not need to do these things personally.

However, she needs to go over and keep an eye on it from time to time in case something goes wrong.

October 18th is Xiao Qing's birthday.

When it was the birthday of second brother Xiao Zhou, Xiao Nianzhi went to the Imperial College.

When it was the third brother's turn, Xiao Nianzhi had to show some expression.

Originally, Xiao Nianzhi would not stop bathing on this day.

However, Shanglinyuan’s working hours are relatively flexible.

The prison is divided into left and right, so even if there is one person on duty, there is no need to worry about not finding the person.

Therefore, Xiao Nianzhi quietly asked for a leave.

In this regard, His Majesty also turned a blind eye and let her go.

Because lately, His Majesty really doesn’t have time to care about anything else.

One is because the new year is approaching, and His Majesty still needs to prepare for the New Year.

All kinds of sacrifices and the like must come before other things.

As for ghosts and gods, never mind whether these emperors believe in them or not.

But you still have to have a sense of awe!

Therefore, part of His Majesty’s recent focus is on the above.

Maybe it's because as I get older, I really feel the powerlessness of my body.

Therefore, I started to get interested in this kind of thing inexplicably.

Since the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple started planning and arranging these things, His Majesty would ask about the progress and preparations and matters he himself needed to prepare almost every other day.

From time to time, people from Xuanqin Tianjian would enter the palace, seemingly to measure something.

Because of His Majesty's nervousness, the current situation in the palace is also a bit tense. after all……

The late emperor became a little dizzy in his later years.

They are very afraid that His Majesty is doing this too!

What makes them better off than the late emperor now is...

The Queen Mother is still alive.

The late emperor's mother and empress left early, and no one could hold her back. In her later years, no one could control her.

Fortunately, I died early, but I don’t know how many regrettable things will happen if I die later.

His Majesty's physical condition is quite good now, but his mental state has become worrying.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother is still there. Even though she is not in good health, it is said that she rarely leaves the palace since the cold weather, and the concubine's greetings have been changed from once a day to once every ten days.

However, with her here, at least everyone felt that there was still someone who could control His Majesty and prevent him from getting dizzy due to old age.

Although His Majesty has experienced what happened to the late emperor, and he is still a victim.

Logically speaking, he should hate this kind of thing deeply.

but……

The human brain is out of control.

It is not uncommon for someone to want to tear up someone else's umbrella when they get caught in the rain.

Therefore, everyone could not help but tremble.

Xiao Nianzhi decided to ask for leave from His Majesty after thinking about it for three days and doing a lot of psychological preparation.

Fortunately, His Majesty did not give her any trouble.

Maybe Xiao Nianzhi was lucky.

Because, when Xiao Nianzhi asked for leave, Beizhou came to report...

Foreign enemies invade.

This incident immediately made His Majesty feel angry.

Originally, he called the imperial doctor twice in seven days because he was not in good health after the winter.

If you are not in good health, you cannot avoid anxiety.

Regardless of whether he is an emperor or not, he doesn't want to die.

Not wanting to die is the essence!

Reluctance to part with the power in hand is just a symptom.

Therefore, I am always anxious and a little anxious.

At this moment, a fool bumped into him, and His Majesty's anger suddenly rose!

Beizhou is a border city in the northeast, so there are so many...

Most of them were used by criminal officials.

Ordinary people who commit crimes are mostly sent to places like Qiongzhou or the edge of Yunzhou, where they engage in mining or fishing.

Ordinary people make mistakes, don't think about which border they will be sent to to enjoy their happiness.

They all have to work for His Majesty!

However, the words of the guilty minister...

In order to prevent him from still having contact with the capital, he would collude with courtiers to redress his grievances or do other things.

Under normal circumstances, they were exiled to places where the border was bitterly cold and no human habitation could be seen.

For example, Beizhou.

Further north in Beizhou, there is a bitter cold land.

Due to the sparse population, there is not even a serious general stationed at the Beizhou border, and the Beizhou prefect alone does it for him.

Even because of the cold weather...

The magistrate of Beizhou has been absent from office for more than a year, and now he is still the magistrate filling two positions.

There is no way, no courtiers who have not offended His Majesty will be assigned this place.

Of course, there is another one who is framed.

The former Tongzhi was a member of the Song family.

After the incident happened to the Song family, he was also dealt with.

then……

The position of this colleague seems to have been forgotten by His Majesty and the courtiers.

No one thought to fill him in.

Well, maybe no one will be unlucky enough to encounter His Majesty's bad luck for the time being.

Therefore, it has never been arranged.
