The next day, General Xuanyuan led the Tatar warriors away from the border and returned to the Tatar Kingdom.
When the people knew about it, they cheered and set off firecrackers to celebrate.
The Second Prince, the Ninth Princess, the Prime Minister and other envoys were arranged to stay in the inn, which was heavily guarded and they could not take a single step out of the inn.
The military camp is heavily guarded, and not even a fly can get in.
Minister Liu and the Minister of Agriculture dug sweet potatoes before returning to the capital with rice and sweet potatoes.
When the day came to return to Beijing, Gao Zhijun and others got up early in the morning to have breakfast, pack their luggage, and set off for Beijing at noon.
"Daughter, have you packed your things?"
Liu Ningchu entered Gao Zhijun's room and asked.
"Mom, everything is packed and we can leave at any time."
Gao Zhijun said while holding Liu Ningchu's hand.
"Okay, let's go out and see if they are ready."
Liu Ningchu pulled Gao Zhijun out of the room. Qinglong and the others were packing their luggage outside.
Everyone, pack your luggage and set off on time at noon!
Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian were in a carriage, driven by Qinglong and Moxue.
Among those who returned to the capital this time were ten generals of the fifth rank and above, including the General of Cavalry, who were rewarded, while the rest stayed in the military camp to guard the city.
The prince returned to the capital with his support troops to report.
When the mighty team left the military camp and arrived at the inn, they picked up the second prince and the ninth princess.
The people on both sides beat drums and gongs to see them off.
The team moved towards the capital.
"Zhijun, you agreed to the marriage because you planned to marry the Ninth Princess to that minister or prince."
In the carriage, Huo Jinqian asked curiously.
"you guess?"
Gao Zhijun said mysteriously.
"Uh, Second Prince?"
Huo Jinqian thought of the second prince, and Gao Zhijun shook her head.
"The Third Prince?"
Gao Zhijun shook her head again.
"The Fourth Prince?"
Gao Zhijun shook her head again: "Not a prince, not a crown prince, guess something else."
Gao Zhijun reminded.
If he is not a prince or a crown prince, then he is a minister.
"The Prime Minister's legitimate son?"
Gao Zhijun shook her head.
"Loyal and Brave Marquis?"
Gao Zhijun still shook her head.
………
"I can't guess it, I can't guess it at all, I give up!"
Huo Jinqian guessed many times but didn't get it right, so he gave up.
"You can't even guess that. It's the Anyang Marquis's son. Your cheap brother."
Gao Zhijun revealed a big piece of news.
She wanted the Prince of Anyang to marry the Ninth Princess, so that she could deal with both of them at once, saving time and effort.
"Him? Why? Do you think the Emperor would agree?"
Huo Jinqian looked at her in shock, he never expected this result.
"Because we want to deal with the Anyang Marquis's Mansion, marrying the Ninth Princess into the family will definitely cause unrest in the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, and wouldn't that annoy the Anyang Marquis' wife? Once the Anyang Marquis's family is sent to the guillotine, the Ninth Princess will also be affected. It would be very satisfying to deal with two annoying people at once. Therefore, the Emperor will agree."
When Gao Zhijun was thinking of tying the Ninth Princess to the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, she thought that the Emperor would agree.
One is the murderer who killed his own sister, and the other is a thief who wanted to steal the ten-shot crossbow and grenades. They should be a family.
"That's true. My Zhijun is really smart."
Huo Jinqian felt that Gao Zhijun was right and that this was the best approach.
Only by letting the Ninth Princess go to Anyang Marquis' Mansion to destroy them will he have time to deal with them and avenge his mother.
Here, the two were talking and laughing.
Over there, the capital was in an uproar.
The messenger reported that the peace talks were successful and the Tatar Emperor wanted to send his most beloved ninth princess to marry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Murong and Princess Xiangyun agreed.
Therefore, rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital that the ninth princess of Tatar was beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, and had a generous dowry. Whoever could marry her would bring honor to his family and his ancestors' graves would be filled with glory.
Therefore, the ministers closed the door and discussed with the legitimate sons of each family to find ways to win the princess's heart, hoping that they could marry the princess and rise to prominence.
The concubines in the palace were also eager to make a move. On the one hand, they were afraid that the emperor would take the Ninth Princess into the harem and compete with them for favor. On the other hand, they offered advice to their sons, hoping that they would seize this great opportunity and find ways to marry the Ninth Princess into the palace to help them fight for the throne.
Secretly, the most active ones were the second prince's mother, Concubine Li, and the third prince's mother, Concubine Hui.
The emperor was also a little moved. After all, she was young and beautiful, and which man would not be moved?
The Queen did not take any action at the time. She did not want the Crown Prince to marry the Ninth Princess and thought that the Crown Princess was a good daughter-in-law. She managed the Crown Prince's Mansion in an orderly manner.
Although the Crown Prince also had two concubines and two Liangdi, the Crown Princess managed them very well. Those women did not dare to act presumptuously in front of her. Even more so, they did not dare to compete for her favor. The Crown Princess arranged for them to sleep with her.
The Crown Princess's family is the Prime Minister's, and she holds a very high position in the court.
The so-called one man is second to none and ten thousand men are above him.
The Crown Princess has such a strong backer, how could the minister's daughter dare to trip her up?
The Empress and the Emperor had been married for over twenty years, and they had always treated each other with respect. The Empress was also a generous person and never envied the concubines.
She has always been dedicated to the management of the harem. She never gets jealous of the emperor's favoritism towards a certain concubine, nor does she play tricks on pregnant concubines. She has always won people over with her virtue, and the emperor also recognizes her.
The queen's father was a censor, who was in charge of the assessment of all officials and had the right to impeach officials.
Because she had such a strong backing, no concubine in the harem dared to bully her.
If they dared to cause trouble, the Censorate would impeach their father.
The Censorate has an intelligence network that collects information about officials, and they know every bit of black material about that official.
Apart from the emperor's dark web, the largest intelligence network is the Censorate's.
