Dingbei.
Yun Zheng has received Jia Yao's reply.
The progress on Jiayao's side is relatively smooth.
As their army approached, the Guifang forces continued to retreat.
At present, many tribes have surrendered to Tuohuan.
Some defeated Guifang soldiers also surrendered to Tuohuan.
Including the troops Yun Zheng gave to Tuohuan, Tuohuan now had an army of more than 10,000.
Chi Yan has already sent someone to contact Jia Yao and clearly expressed his willingness for peace talks.
However, Jiayao wanted to put further pressure on Chiyan, so he did not agree to peace talks for the time being and continued to advance.
Although Jia Yao did not say the specific battle situation over there, it seemed like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
...
...
After all, the main force of the Guifang army had been completely wiped out. Even if the Guifang army still had a small number of soldiers and horses, they had lost the courage to fight again.
Regarding their wedding, Jia Yao simply replied and waited for Yun Zheng's opinion.
Neither Yun Zheng nor Jia Yao took their wedding seriously.
After putting down Jia Yao's reply, Yun Zheng sat there and thought quietly.
It was not until Shen Luoyan walked in with a big belly that Yun Zheng slowly came back to his senses.
Chen Luoyan walked up to Yun Zheng with lotus steps, and just as she was about to ask something, Yun Zheng pulled her into his arms.
"Be careful not to hurt the child."
Chen Luoyan gave Yun Zheng a reproachful look, but then sat down on Yun Zheng's lap.
"Okay, I'll be careful next time."
Yun Zheng laughed and put his hand on Shen Luoyan's belly, "Did the child kick you today?"
"Why didn't he kick?" Shen Luoyan lowered her eyebrows and looked at her belly. "This little guy has been tossing and turning in my belly all day long. It's only been less than seven months, and it seems like he can't wait to come out."
"When he is born, we'll give him a good beating!" Yun Zheng said with a smile.
"How can you be such a father? The child hasn't even been born yet and you're already thinking about beating him up."
Shen Luoyan laughed and scolded Yun Zheng, then pouted slightly, "I also hope that this little guy will come out soon. I'm almost suffocating these days when I'm pregnant with him!"
Chen Luoyan was lively and active by nature, so it was really depressing for her to stay at home all day doing nothing.
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "You are not here to act like a spoiled child with me, and want to go to Le'an with us, right?"
Le'an is a new city located between Beilu Pass and Suqu.
The disaster victims brought in from the interior were concentrated there.
According to Ye Zi, there is a rudimentary form of a town there.
However, it will take time for it to truly become a city.
Yun Zheng was planning to go there and take a look. If Emperor Wen was coming to Shuobei, he would also go to greet him.
"I said I want to go, do you want me to go?"
Shen Luoyan tilted his head and asked bitterly.
"That won't do."
Yun Zheng refused without a second thought, "You are so pregnant, it's really not suitable for you to travel."
"Isn't that the end?"
Shen Luoyan smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't go with you, so that everyone won't worry!"
She also knew that it was inconvenient for her to travel far in her current situation.
Once she goes, everyone has to be very careful, and a day's journey might take three days.
"Just wait until the baby is born!"
Yun Zheng held Shen Luoyan's hand and comforted her softly.
"Um."
Chen Luoyan nodded gently, "Okay, let's go to the front yard! Mother has called a tailor to come to the mansion and plans to make two new clothes for everyone in the mansion. You should also go and ask the tailor to measure you!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Yun Zheng helped Shen Luoyan stand up and said with a smile: "It will probably snow in a few days, so we can ask the tailor to make two sets of down jackets for us."
"down jacket?"
Chen Luoyan looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.
"It's the fur coat."
Yun Zheng changed his words.
Daganchao also has down jackets, but it just has a different name.
Moreover, the warmth retention of those high-end down coats is almost as good as that of modern down jackets.
However, high-end down is in short supply and difficult to obtain, so only princes and nobles can afford it.
"Mother has plans to make fur clothes."
Chen Luoyan smiled and said, "However, two sets per person is a bit too much! There are still relatively few people raising ducks and geese in Shuobei. The mansion has been purchasing fine wool, but it has not received too much."
Is that so?
Yun Zheng hugged Shen Luoyan's waist and said with emotion: "So, we have a long way to go! We still have to let the people of Shuobei have extra food so that they can raise chickens and ducks in large quantities."
The ducks and geese in Shuobei have high-quality down because they live in a cold environment for a long time.
However, due to food restrictions, few poultry are raised in large numbers.
If the people of Shuobei could afford to wear fur clothes, Shuobei would be considered truly wealthy.
"As long as we work hard to govern Shuobei, things will get better slowly."
Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and smiled, "By the way, what were you thinking about just now? I saw that you seemed to be lost in thought."
Yun Zheng: "I was wondering, what should I do if my father insists on having a grand wedding with Jia Yao?"
Speaking of this matter, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel a headache.
Although he had sufficient reasons, he now didn't understand what the old man was thinking!
What if Emperor Wen insisted on making him marry Jia Yao? He couldn't fight with Emperor Wen!
"If the emperor insists that you get married, then you can get married!"
Chen Luoyan smiled sweetly, "Since you have already exchanged letters of credence, it is only natural to hold a wedding! After all, your marriage to Jiayao involves a marriage between two countries, and it seems unreasonable not to hold a wedding."
"It's a waste of money and effort, and it's just a show. It's boring." Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "Can you help me think about it? Is there any way to completely stop my father from thinking this?"
"You're putting me in a difficult position now!"
Chen Luoyan was in a dilemma: "Even the money for your wedding was raised by your father by selling the valuables in the palace. If he is determined to let you and Jiayao get married, who can stop him? Even the censors in the court have nothing to say!"
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel secretly depressed.
She was telling the truth.
Damn it, it’s really annoying to be entangled in such a trivial matter as soon as I get back.
"Forget it, I'll just think about it myself!"
Yun Zheng helped Shen Luoyan walk out, "It's better if you don't get involved in this matter. If you anger the emperor, you won't have his spit on your face."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Shen Luoyan smiled sweetly, "You destroyed Qiuchi and helped the imperial court to drive back the tribes in western Moxi. Father is so happy! He won't be furious with you for such a thing."
“No way!”
Yun Zheng curled his lips, "This is disobeying an imperial order, do you think it's that easy?"
He just hasn't openly disobeyed the order yet.
But it's basically the same as disobeying an imperial order.
This matter is definitely not over yet!
