In the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Chunqing happily celebrated his 60th birthday. After the spring plowing the following year, Emperor Chunqing suddenly announced a news that he would send troops to attack the Tatars.

Emperor Chunqing has always been an emperor who is good at martial arts. He ascended the throne at the age of 30 and is now 61 years old. He fights the Hu people in the north of the dynasty almost every ten years. Emperor Chunqing's first Northern Expedition captured seven tribes in the northwest of the Hu people, making him surrender. During the second Northern Expedition, he surrendered five tribes in the central region and paid tribute to the court every year.

This time, what Emperor Chunqing wanted to fight was the Tatar tribe that had lived in the northeast grassland for generations.

The Tatars were very warlike. At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, they went south and invaded again and again, causing a lot of trouble to the court. Later, other tribes on the grasslands rose and the dynasty gradually flourished. The Tatars were temporarily showing weakness and hiding in the northeast grasslands. However, the Tatars just stopped causing trouble. The tribe members were still brave and warlike, and they were quite in a position to accumulate energy and wait to take advantage of the situation.

Emperor Chunqing always regarded the Tatars as a hidden danger on his bedside. After the second Northern Expedition, he rested for more than ten years. Now that the country is rich and the people are strong, the soldiers are strong and the food is sufficient, it is a good time to subdue the Tatars in one fell swoop.

For Emperor Chunqing's decision, some of the ministers supported and some opposed it. In the end, those who opposed it were suppressed by Emperor Chunqing. Soon, the court assembled an army of 300,000 and set out in a mighty manner towards the northeast.

Gillian's uncle Xue Ao is also going to go to war.

The battlefield is where the generals display their talents. A general can basically make a name for himself and earn glory on the battlefield. But the battlefield is also where the brains of swords and guns are cut down at any time. Men leave their hometowns and fight desperately, leaving their families worrying day and night, fearing that their men will never come back.

Gillian was worried about her uncle, Meng was worried about her husband, but Xue Ao, who was born in a bandit, was very happy! He stayed in a place where he had to be etiquette and rules in everything he did. Even if he had a sword, he would rust. He had long hoped to lead his troops to fight. He was forty-six years old. If he didn't fight, he would get old in a few years. He would not look down on him if he wanted to fight.

He reminded his children to be filial to their mothers and say goodbye to their beloved wife for another night. After dawn, Xue Ao put on his armor and set out with the army. The strong man riding on the horse was like an eagle flying towards the vast grassland, vowing to compete with the local eagles.

He has been away for more than three years.

The Tatars are worthy of being the overlord of the grassland tribe. The men are all strong and are supplemented by fat and strong war horses. The court suffered heavy losses this Northern Expedition. Fortunately, Emperor Chunqing was well prepared and food was continuously transported there. The young and healthy soldiers were also transferred there at any time, and one person died and two were replenished immediately.

In the past three years, the sound of killing on the grasslands in the northeast has shook the sky, and corpses are everywhere on the green fields, and vultures in the sky are circling, one is fatter than the other.

The imperial court suffered numerous casualties and horses. Because there were sufficient dispatch and supplements, the number of troops of 300,000 has been maintained, but the Tatar tribe is different. Because the battles initiated by the ancestors have long been broken with other tribes, and the imperial court has greeted neighboring tribes in advance this time. Those who dare to help the Tatars are regarded as enemies of the court.

The Central Plains is like a lion. In the past 30 years, it completely shocked those grassland tribes. Therefore, this time the imperial court attacked the Tatars, but the Tatars received no support. They were completely fighting against the entire Central Plains with the power of a clan. After three years of persistence, half of the 200,000 elite Tatar soldiers died, and half of the remaining half were alive, either injured or disabled, or became prisoners of the court. When the Tatar royal family finally surrendered, the northeast grassland was crying and howling.

However, the success and the king defeated the enemy. This has been the case since ancient times. When the Tatars led their troops to invade the northern border of the Central Plains a hundred years ago, they burned, killed and looted. The people in the northern border were not living in poverty?

When the good news came to the capital, it was another year of spring plowing tens.

Looking at the former King of Tatars kneeling in the hall, Emperor Chunqing looked at his prince with a gray hair and smiled.

Emperor Chunqing didn't know how many years he had to live, but he knew that the day he died was the time when the imperial court was most likely to cause chaos in the frontier. He had beaten other tribes on the grassland. Only this Tatar was still unstoppable. Now he used the whole country to annihilate the elite of the Tatar clan. In less than twenty years, the Tatar clan would not breathe.

When the Tatars surrendered, Emperor Chunqing not only died without regrets, but he did not have to worry about leaving a mess for his son before leaving.

The prince stood in front of the ministers and faced the glare in his father's eyes, and his mind was also shocked.

The father's great and magnificent strategy is a blessing for all people and an emperor's role model in his heart. One day he sat in that position, without seeking to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with his father, at least he must maintain the foundation of the country and foundation he has built and will never let down his father's efforts.

Gillian didn't know what the emperor and crown prince were thinking, she was just happy that her uncle was finally coming back.

The army was triumphant in mid-April, Zhao Yanping went to Dali Temple to work, while Jiao took her mother-in-law and children early, and came to her own embroidery building, waiting to see the soldiers pass by here. Not long after the family arrived here, Meng took Xue Yan and Xue Ning also came. The embroidery shop did not do business this morning, and the family was waiting specifically to see the army's ceremonial guards.

"Mom, look at the crowds of people here. If we don't go out to grab the place, we can only look at other people's heads."

Xue Ning opened the door of the shop and saw that the door was filled with people. Not only in front of the embroidery shop, but also in the entire street. If it weren't for the officers and soldiers standing on both sides in advance, the center of the street would probably be crowded with people.

Xue Ning didn't want to see the head, she wanted to see her father who hadn't seen for three years.

Meng also wanted to do so, but there were so many people outside, both men, women, young and old, so it was so concise, especially her daughter, who was a sixteen-year-old girl, who was beautiful and beautiful. She got into the crowd later and couldn't take care of her. What if someone took advantage of the chaos?

"No, let's watch it inside." Meng insisted.

Xue Ning couldn't convince her mother and looked at her cousin begging.

Gillian didn't dare to disobey her aunt. Besides, her aunt's worries make sense. There are so many people outside.

When Xue Ning begged hard, Chu Jin stood quietly beside her mother. The seven-year-old girl was even more surprised by the lively outside, but she was very good at observing her expressions. Since Aunt Xue Ning could not convince her mother and grandmother, it would definitely be useless for her to speak.

The main door of the shop was closed, making it look much darker inside. Chu Jin glanced at the roof, the little girl bit her lip, and quietly waved to Aunt Xue Ning.

When Xue Ning saw this, he walked over in confusion.

Chu Jin asked his aunt to lower her head and put her in her ear and said a few words.

Xue Ning's eyes lit up.

Gillian asked her daughter: "Chu Jin, what did you say to your aunt?"

Chu Jin smiled and pointed to the roof and said, "There are many people on the street, so we can climb up to the roof. It has a spacious view and a good view. When my aunt rides over, we wave our hands and he will see us."

Gillian was stunned. This was indeed a good idea. But can the aunt who values ​​rules agree? Her children are young, and climbing on the roof is not harmful. At my aunt's house, my cousin is already nineteen years old, and my cousin is about to marry at the age of sixteen. The roof is so conspicuous and there are so many people under her. If it is spread, it will definitely damage my cousin's reputation.

"You're just a few tricks." Gillian said softly to her daughter, then looked at her aunt with a headache.

Meng glanced at the closed shop door panel. It was sunny outside and could see crowds of people through the window paper.

"No, what is the tile style of climbing into the girl's house?" Meng said with a tense face.

Just as Xue Ning was about to stomp his feet and play tricks, Meng suddenly pointed to a floor of windows on the shop and smiled: "However, if your cousin is willing to give up this floor of window paper, we can bring a chair over and poke a few holes in the window to peek."

In this way, you don’t have to go out and show off your face, and you can also see a man who has been away for a long time, killing two birds with one stone.

How could Gillian be stingy with the window paper? First, let Miss Jiang make another layer in the afternoon.

After the adults spoke, Xue Yan and Xue Ning took the maids to the backyard to move chairs.

Meng Zhao and Chu Jin stood obediently beside their mother, not seemingly keen on watching the fun. When the chairs were moved over, the adults stood at the right height. Chu Jin poked two window holes and found that what he saw was still a head. The little girl was finally unhappy and quietly pulled Xue Yan's cuff: "My uncle, I'm short, please help me move a table."

Xue Yan smiled and said, "How about you hugging me uncle?"

Chu Jin shook his head: "It's too tiring to hold it, I want to stand by myself."

Xue Yan touched the little girl's head and went to the backyard to move a table again.

The table is not big, but it is no problem to stand on two children. Xue Yan put the table next to him and arranged for Meng Zhao to stand with Chu Jin, asking Meng Zhao to protect Chu Jin.

The little brother and sister tried the position, which was very suitable.

The first wave of ceremonial guards was that the prince was ordered to go out of the city to welcome the army, and there were civil and military ministers, as well as princes and grandsons.

Before the prince's ceremonial guard came, a guard loudly told the people to be quiet. When he heard this shout, Xue Ning was about to go to the window to peek.

Meng frowned and said, "Are you here to see your father or to watch the fun?"

Xue Ning said playfully: "Can't I even watch it?"

After saying that, she was the first to stand on the chair.

Xue Yan did not get on the chair, but carved Meng Zhao and Chu Jin to the table considerately, and he guarded behind the table.

Meng sighed to Gillian: "Look at Sister Ning, who is the wife who likes her with this temper?"

Gillian's face turned red and said for a while: "Auntie, I want to go and have a look, too."

The prince is Miss Xiangyun's husband, and Gillian wants to see what the prince looks like.

Meng was stunned.

The ceremonial war might be coming. Gillian gritted her teeth and walked to her chair. When she went up, Xue Ning smiled and pulled her.

Meng had to say to Liu again: "You and Yanping are so fond of Gillian. Look, the ones who spoil her are all the mothers of two children, and they are still children."

Liu, who was in his fifties, also blushed and said awkwardly: "Actually, I, I want to go and have a look."

The prince is her son-in-law, although she is not qualified to call her son-in-law in terms of status.

Meng reacted and hurriedly said, "What should be done, let's go and see together."

Some things may be incompatible with etiquette, but people's hearts are full of flesh. If she were Liu, Meng would definitely go to see her son-in-law.

In this way, the whole family stood on the chairs arranged in advance.

After a moment, the prince's ceremonial guard came.

At the front is a team of guards riding horses, followed by the prince.

The prince is 39 years old this year. He is in his prime. He is wearing a yellow four-clawed golden dragon brocade robe with a handsome and majestic appearance and a graceful and luxurious temperament. He can really make people feel the style of the Tian family at a glance. After the prince, he is King Huai and King Jian. One looks mean because of his thinness, and the other is because of his indulgence in enjoyment. With this appearance, it is no wonder that Emperor Chunqing chose King Xuan as the prince.

Behind the Three Kings are six young emperors.

The ceremonial guards passed quickly, and there were many emperors. Liu's faces were not enough to see them all, so he could only look at his back. He asked Gillian in a hurry: "Is there any third master?"

Gillian didn't see clearly, and was just watching the prince. When she realized that there were still grandchildren, it was too late.

"There is a row at the end, and the one on the right is a bit like it."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were guessing randomly, Xue Ning suddenly said, her face was still pressed against the window paper.

Chu Jin was also looking at it and asked curiously: "How did my aunt see it?"

Xue Ning said to the boy's back: "Looks like my brother-in-law."

Chu Jin turned a little in his head before he realized that his aunt's brother-in-law was her father, Zhao Yanping.

Chu Jin stood on tiptoe and looked at the back of the boy who was leaving.

Since he looks like a father, this cousin should be very handsome, right?
