After returning home from Duke Anguo's mansion, a maid brought hot water to wash Muyun. When she changed her clothes and came out, the steaming dinner was ready.

When Mu Yun saw this, he smiled and said to Yulan: "Thanks to your help these days, if I leave for so many days, I might not know what chaos will happen at home?"

Yulan hurriedly refused: "No need to thank me. I just look at the child and fight. If you have a few of your maids, you can arrange everything in this family properly. I will look at them and will definitely be a good player in life in the future."

Mama Qi also smiled and agreed: "Especially that girl Zhong Li, she is really capable. I was not as experienced as she was at her age." Mama Qi said as she gave a thumbs up.

Since Mu Yun started to enter the palace to cry, he recalled Zhong Li and Qi Yue. They were in charge of the mansion these days.

Zhong Li heard this and hurriedly said, "Mom Qi is joking. It's not me who can do it alone. Didn't your Qi Yue do it too? Don't always praise me, I will blush!" Seeing her like this, everyone laughed and laughed.

Mu Yun was talking to his children. Upon hearing this, he held his forehead and said, "Okay, you are all very capable, you don't have to be humble and humble. Since the food is ready, let's have a meal together. My stomach is about to be hungry." He said hello and asked everyone to sit down.

Yulan smiled and said, "You came back just now and said you didn't want to wait for you, so I'll take the children to eat first. You don't have to worry about us when you eat yours, eat quickly! Otherwise, it will be cold."

After hearing that Yulan said that she had taken the child with her, Mu Yun did not politely with her and directly called Zhong Li and the others for dinner. They had been staying at Duke Anguo Mansion for so long, and it was already very late. Several children were already dozing off. Seeing this, Mu Yun quickly asked the nurses to take them down to settle them and rest.

For several days, the older imperial edicts fell ill one after another. Later, Shan Jingyan and the Empress Dowager discussed it and ordered people to pack up several side halls, put on braziers and other items, and allow everyone to take turns to rest. They also allowed the imperial edicts who were over 60 years old and were not in a good state to cry without going to the palace to cry. Mu Yun always trained flowers and vegetables at home. Although the crying spirit was hard, he could still bear it, but in the end he lost a lot of weight.

During this period, Wen Tingzhou finally returned home after the coffin of Emperor Zhongzong was officially moved to the imperial tomb for burial. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, he had to be careful everywhere when the old and new were alternating. He had been eating and living in the army these days. He finally waited until the coffin of Emperor Zhongzong entered the tomb and the new emperor officially ascended the throne, and he had time to go home.

After counting this, the couple had not met for more than a month. After getting married, this time it was the longest time to be separated.

Mu Yun looked at Wen Tingzhou's face that had lost a lot of weight and couldn't help but say with distress: "Why have you lost so much? Why are you still so dark when you are in such a cold day?"

Wen Tingzhou reached out and held her hand and said, "I'm getting darker when I'm in the wind and sun all day long? Don't just talk about me, I'm seeing you lose a lot of weight, but fortunately my skin is not dark, and it's still as thin as before."

Mu Yun replied: "At least I can go home to eat some hot rice and hot dishes every day and have a stable sleep. It is not as hard as you are outside. But now I can finally breathe a little relieved. I have someone prepare hot water, and you can take a hot bath to get rid of the fatigue. In the evening, we will drink mutton soup and make it a good idea for you to replenish it."

Wen Tingzhou said softly: "All these days, you have to go to the palace to cry and worry about your family's affairs. We are also suffering. Let's make up for it together."

The couple had been fucked for a long time and blew each other's rainbow farts. Fortunately, the maids had gone out long ago, otherwise they would have been smeared by the couple now...

Seeing that Emperor Zhongzong had been buried in the imperial tomb and the new king had successfully succeeded to the throne, the civil and military officials of the court had just breathed a sigh of relief, and news of the Tatars invasion came from the Liaoyang Guard of Beiguan. The Tatars did not know how to lobby, but they actually gathered the forces of many grassland tribes. This time, they gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to invade.

Everyone knows this kind of thing, and the new emperor will basically ascend the throne, after all, this is the time for the weakest national strength.

The Liaoyang Guard had only 50,000 or 60,000 troops stationed, but the nearby Huichun County was also attacked by the Goguryeo Kingdom and could not send troops to reinforce the Liaoyang Guard for a while.

Although General Dingbei, who was guarding the Liaoyang Guard, led his army to fight to the death, he could not protect the border of the Liaoyang Guard and could only barely block the enemy from the Liaoyang Guard's palace. At this moment, he had already handed several memorandums to Beijing to ask for support.

Without further ado, the enemy is now at the city. If we do not send troops to reinforce, once the Liaoyang Prefecture's city is destroyed, there is no barrier north of the capital that can stop the enemy's invasion.

There are now more than 200,000 elite troops stationed around the capital, but these troops are not easy to mobilize. The emperor ordered that 100,000 elite troops be drawn from a place near Liaoyang and immediately go to Liaoyang Prefecture for reinforcements.

It was easy to dispatch soldiers, but the choice of the troops was a problem for a while. For some military generals and others recommended by the ministers, the new emperor thought of their relationship with the princes, even if these people would lead the troops again, he would not feel at ease to use them.

After looking around the ministers of the Qianqing Palace of the New Emperor, he had no intention. He would not doubt Wen Tingzhou's loyalty and ability, but the imperial guards responsible for guarding the Forbidden City at this time are not suitable for big wars.

Seeing that the new emperor was still hesitant, Zhang Shangshu of War saw that his mind was a little hesitant and had already realized something, he immediately stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, the position of commander is not small. Apart from being brave, you must have great talent and strategy. Chengguo Duke Shan Xiong, who has been fighting for many years, has made great achievements in the northwest. His heroic strategy and leadership are even more powerful. Looking at the current court, no one can do anything to him. This time, the commander of the Northern Expedition, I believe that it is Chengguo Duke."

As soon as Zhang Shangshu said this, many generals in the palace, such as Duke An of the Kingdom of the Palace, were a little unhappy. Although the enemy's sneak attack was a bit abrupt, Dayuan inherited his peace for a long time and the country was rich and strong. It was only a matter of time to deal with these small countries. Looking deeper, although this expedition was risky, once you win, your great military achievements were not empty. It can also be said that it was finally easy to take advantage of the transition between the old and new emperors that those Tartars had the courage to start a war with Dayuan. Such a rare opportunity could not be taken by Duke Cheng. He had already made a lot of contributions. He was already ill at home now, so he would not have to be the old man this time?

So everyone agreed that this said that the Duke of the State was in poor health, and that said that he was old, but he did not want Shan Xiong to be the commander of this time.

But the new emperor doesn't think so. Compared to the generals in the palace, the new emperor naturally trusts his father-in-law more. Especially now, the queen has three legitimate sons in the harem. The new emperor feels more at ease. He firmly believes that even if he doesn't do it for himself, but for his daughter and three grandchildren, Duke Cheng will definitely beat the enemy to pieces.

Thinking of this, the emperor looked at Wen Tingzhou with a little sadness: "General Wen, I have been busy with government affairs these days and haven't seen my father-in-law for a while. I wonder how he is doing recently? Your wife seems to have a good relationship with Duke Cheng Guo's wife, but have you told you how Duke Cheng Guo's health?"

Under such circumstances, what can Wen Tingzhou say? Even if the Duke of Cheng is unwilling, he must be willing. Now that he has obvious military merits, can he still push them out?

So Wen Tingzhou replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, my wife only went to ask Duke Cheng for his wife yesterday. When I came back, I told you that Duke Cheng was a little sad about the death of the late emperor, but his body was still strong. Protecting the country was the lifelong belief of our military generals. If the emperor sent something, Duke Cheng would definitely not refuse."

At this time, I don’t know who said: “Duke Cheng Guo has a leg stunted.”

Wen Tingzhou is not easy to answer. The other party has dug a hole. No matter how he responds, it seems that he will easily lose his word.

The emperor glanced at the man and felt a little unhappy. Just so happened that Dingnanbo came out and said, "The commander does not need to go to the front line in person. Although Duke Cheng Guo has leg problems, he is just walking a little slower. If the emperor still has doubts in his heart, it is better for Duke Xuan Cheng Guo to enter the palace and ask him in person." The emperor happily agreed and sent an eunuch to pass the order.

Duke Qiu cursed Dingnanbo in his heart: I'm sloppy, there's no one else to change his ruthlessness when I see the wind!

Then he turned around and thought: Although he had supported His Highness Yue a lot in the past, King Yue had been there for many years, and the emperor was not so stingy. He wouldn't have gone to get old accounts now, right?

Dingnan Bo didn't think so much, but as the saying goes, "Those who know the times are heroes." Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, there are still some things that cannot be controlled in the court for a while. If he does not show his loyalty at this time, can he really wait at home for his home to be confiscated and seized his title?

At this moment, the emperor was worried about the border war and had no time to think about the curvy innocences of these ministers. After a while, Duke Chengguo led him to the Qianqing Hall, led by the eunuch.

Needless to say, Duke Cheng was determined to retire, just to keep a low profile and save himself from swaying in the court. If he was instigated by a villain, "The great achievements shocked the master", then his efforts over the years would be in vain.

But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is clear that he trusts him and wants him to go to Liaoyang Guard. Not to mention that his leg is not as powerful as claimed by the public, even if he is really a lame leg, the emperor will let him go now, and he must go!

Duke Cheng immediately expressed his loyalty, and the new emperor also said many heartfelt words. Due to the urgency of time, the army set off overnight today. Duke Cheng did not even have time to go home to pack his bags, so he went to the military camp to inspect.

As early as when people came to the palace, Xu had a premonition. Later, after receiving the letter, he quickly packed up his luggage and sent it to the military camp.

Shan Jingyan in the harem heard the news and hurriedly packed out some medicinal materials and sent them to the Duke Cheng's mansion. After seeing her, Xu said angrily: "There is nothing at home? The Empress also sent a bunch of things over here. How could you send them from afar?"
