On the third day of the first lunar month, all the people from Songjia Village who had stayed in the capital gathered in Kangle County Mansion. Celebrating that Tian Xinghua was canonized as the first-rank imperial lady.
No outsiders were invited, it was just a family dinner.
Since we are all family, when we get together, the whole yard is filled with the dialect of Lunshan County. The maids and servants who came from the capital were stunned when they heard this.
They didn't understand what was said, "You move over there, and I'll move over here."
A little maid was holding the cloak in her hands in a depressed mood, because Aunt Cuihua said to her: "Put it on the ground to dry in the sun."
What is "soft"?
Do I need to rub it before drying it in the sun?
Finally, I asked the maid from Lunshan County and found out that "rou" means sun, and Aunt Cuihua wanted her to take it out to bask in the sun.
Not only the maid Xiao Si was depressed, but also Song Sanzhu.
Ever since he was conferred the title of Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, he always felt that it was unreal. He wanted to find a sense of existence in front of the children, even if it was just to show off.
But he suddenly discovered that these children were ignoring him intentionally or unintentionally. Even Xiao Qiu Sheng rarely talks to him anymore.
Even when he held the imperial edict, he could still feel the cold water of the Tongshui River.
This set off alarm bells in his head.
The eldest girl is very cunning. She wouldn't want to send him away by using this Silver and Green Guanglu Doctor or something like that, right?
In order to find a sense of existence, Song Sanzhu said to Xiao Qiusheng: "Son, after celebrating for your mother, why don't you celebrate for your father as well?"
Xiao Qiusheng blinked and thought to himself, "Big sister is right. Dad is very bright when he is a little sunny. I'd better ignore him for two days, otherwise he will show off endlessly."
"Dad, I'll offer you a glass of wine later." After saying this, Xiao Qiu Sheng ran to his mother to show his courtesy.
Looking at his son's back, Song Sanzhu said: What a lousy Guanglu Doctor, can we just give him up?
Song Qingshui looked at his depressed expression and reminded him, "Third brother, you should be content. What are you, a grown man, competing with your sister-in-law for?"
Song Sanzhu: ...
If I compare myself with her, can I win?
The food and wine were served. Just as Song Jinxiu picked up the wine glass, a young eunuch came hurriedly to announce that His Majesty allowed her to enter the palace.
Song Jinxiu asked, "Does the eunuch know what this is about?"
The young eunuch bowed and said, "I don't know, but your majesty has ordered the county magistrate to enter the palace as soon as possible. I know that the left and right prime ministers and the minister of war also entered the palace at the same time..."
Song Jinxiu suddenly became serious.
Zhang Zihan frowned and said, "The cabinet has been summoned to the palace to discuss matters. It seems that something big has happened. I have someone wait at the palace gate. If anything happens, they can be the first to prepare.
Song Jinxiu glanced at everyone and said, "No need, uncle just needs to take care of the mansion."
When Song Jinxiu rushed to Xuanzheng Hall, several cabinet ministers had already arrived.
Liu Xixiu saw her and smiled at her soothingly, "Don't be afraid, it's a beacon fire at the border. They called you here. Just sit and listen."
Everyone: When they came in, His Majesty's face was livid, and then he handed them a memorial and said, "Read it for yourself."
When County Kangle arrived, he smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty, are you coaxing the child?"
However, no matter how smart Princess Kangle is, she is still a child after all, and she probably has never seen any war. Your Majesty is coaxing her because you are afraid of scaring her to tears?
Song Jinxiu picked up the letter and saw that it was written by General Dingguo Wei Qiliang.
The letter was sent by military express and contained only a few words.
Southern Xinjiang raided several villages in Lai County, Liangzhou, and deployed 50,000 soldiers to the border. I have already assembled troops to confront them and notified Liangzhou to take precautions.
Liangzhou was the fief of Prince Yin, and the garrison there was the Xiliang Army led by Xiliang Hou Xie Gong.
It is said that Liangzhou is a desolate place with many mountains and little land, and the roads are inaccessible, so most of the garrison troops are locals.
Minister of War Zhou Kunran frowned and said, "The Dingguo Army is stationed in the southwestern border. The southern border has been stable for 70% to 80%. Why are there any unusual movements? And the target is Liangzhou?"
Song Jinxiu was not from an imperial examination family, so she didn't know much about the history of Cangwu. Regarding this military and national affair, she adhered to the principle that without investigation, she had no right to speak, so it was just as Your Majesty said. Listen carefully from the side.
"Liangzhou has many mountains and little land, and the soil is barren. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is no benefit in attacking Liangzhou. I guess Nanjiang is just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and the target is still Dingguo Army."
Left Prime Minister Wei Zhen said: "With the Dingguo Army here, there is nothing to fear in southern Xinjiang. However, we must prepare food and grass in advance. Once a battle breaks out, we must ensure that food and grass are smoothly supplied."
The Right Prime Minister also said: "The mountain road over there is winding, so we have to move the food and fodder in advance."
Song Jinxiu frowned, "If it was a village under Liangzhou that was attacked, why didn't I see any report from Liangzhou?"
The Right Prime Minister explained: "Liangzhou has many mountainous roads, so the memorial will arrive two days later."
Everyone looked calm; it seemed normal for the memorial from Liangzhou to arrive late.
The Minister of Revenue sighed and said, "After so much effort, the Northern Rong became quiet in the winter. I thought that Cangwu could finally take a breath and recuperate, but I didn't expect that Southern Xinjiang would be dishonest."
"Well, these small border countries are really abominable. They just can't bear to see us in Cangwu having an easy life."
Song Jinxiu asked: "Why? Is there a war every day in Cangwu?"
Liu Xiu sighed and said, "It's either natural disasters or war disasters, it really never stops."
Wei Zhen stroked his beard and said, "It's strange to say. In the eighth month of ...
The Minister of Revenue also said, "It is true. The severe cold weather in the west a few days ago caused severe damage to winter wheat, but the border was stable. Could it be that God is looking down on us and doesn't want to make things worse for us in Cangwu?"
Song Jinxiu blinked: Why does she feel that this is man-made?
Last winter, a market was opened with the Northern Rong, and the Northern Rong border was stabilized. After a winter of rest, the men of Cangwu will soon be in the spring and the flowers will bloom, and spring farming will begin.
The war broke out at this time?
Whenever a war breaks out, we have to conscript soldiers, and the soldiers we conscript are strong and capable laborers!
Could it be that there is someone controlling this behind the scenes? Are you just afraid that Cangwu will become too powerful?
She can't help much in the war because she has no idea what the army here is like?
But based on his understanding of Su Mo and the others and what his brother said, he felt that the reason why the combat effectiveness here was low was because the weapons were not good.
She was able to improve the combat effectiveness of an army and improve its weapons.
Her first thought was to shoe the horse's hooves.
Because every time Su Mo came to see him secretly, he would let the horse stay to rest for two days out of concern, and he would change to a new horse and set off on the road.
At first she thought the horse was tired from riding all night, but later she found out that the horse's hooves were badly worn out and it was not suitable for the road anymore. This reminded her of horseshoeing.
Song Jinxiu expressed her thoughts, and Zhou Kunran frowned and said, "Kangle County, I know you are smart, and your idea is also very good.
But have you ever thought about how the iron shoe sticks to the horse's hoof? If we use the method you mentioned to drive nails into the horse's feet, will it feel pain? This is your fantasy, isn't it unrealistic? ”
