As soon as May begins, Beijing and Tongcheng enter a state of preparation.

Yi An and the emperor said: "The order has been issued to dispatch 60,000 troops and horses from Shengjing and transport 100,000 stones of grain to Tongcheng."

The emperor said, "Don't worry, there are thirty cannons and 1,500 long guns in Tongcheng. As long as they dare to come, they will definitely be defeated."

Yi An looked towards Tongcheng with a deep look: "No, I don't want them to lose a crushing defeat. I want them to go without going back, and then send troops to take their nests."

The emperor smiled and said, "Leave the war ahead to the third brother. If he feels that the time is ripe, he will definitely lead his troops deep into the grassland to take their nests."

It would be best to destroy the Later Jin barbarians. If they could not, they could also cause them to be severely damaged and prevent them from regaining their vitality for decades. In this way, the court could free up hands to rectify the administration and various disadvantages of the court. He originally did these things, but now they can only be handed over to Yi An and Fu Jingen.

Yi An nodded.

The couple had another conversation, and then Yuanbao said outside: "Emperor, Empress, Lord Fu is waiting in the main hall to report something important."

The emperor nodded and said, "Go!"

Looking at Yi An's departure back, a look of guilt flashed in the emperor's eyes. If he hadn't imprisoned Yi An by himself, she should have been ready to go to the battlefield now. However, although she felt a little guilty, he never regretted this decision.

Yuanbao walked in and asked, "Prince, have you brought the third prince and the eldest princess in?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Please push me to the Royal Garden for a walk."

He can walk but can't walk too far, so he has to sit in a wheelchair and be pushed by someone to go out. Now he likes to take his twins outside. He is happy and he feels happy.

After playing in the garden with the twins for a while, a little eunuch came over. Yuanbao frowned after hearing this, then walked over and leaned over and said a few words in the emperor's ear.

The emperor said calmly: "The queen can handle it."

He could not hide anything in the court, but unless Yi An couldn't solve it, he would come up with an idea, otherwise he would not intervene. His health looks good now, but he was injured. The imperial physician was not sure how many years he could live, so he would follow him after working hard anyway.

This is true for him to no longer interfere in the affairs of the government, which allowed Yi An to grow up quickly. However, Yi An did not disappoint his expectations and can now handle the affairs of the government alone.

Fu Jingen asked to meet Yi An this time for the sake of Prince Song. Prince Song went to Jiangnan to investigate the salt tea smuggling case, which violated the interests of local officials and wealthy families. Prince Song almost died several times. Fortunately, his hard work paid off. Prince Song spent more than three months to finally collect evidence. He mobilized local garrisons to arrest all the relevant people, and recovered some of the lost tax and silver.

All these silvers were put on the ship and sent back to the capital, but they didn't expect that the pirates would dare to hijack the official ship. Fortunately, Fu Jingen was prepared to use a bag-drop plan with Prince Song, and the stones contained in the box on the official ship.

Yi An asked, "Mr. Wang isn't it?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "Mr. Wang is fine, but Lin Fei was seriously injured. Because she was too serious, she was sent ashore to treat her injuries."

This time, Prince Song went to Jiangnan and was very dangerous, so Yi An asked Lin Fei to disguise herself as a guard to protect Prince Song. Lin Fei was very skilled in martial arts, and his safety in Prince Song was also guaranteed.

Yi An asked with concern: "Is life in danger?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Empress, the thief also suffered heavy losses this time, and he happened to send troops to wipe out them."

Yi An nodded and then summoned the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue to discuss the matter.

Two days later, Fu Jingen handled what he had at hand and went home. When he got home, he called Aman and ordered: "Make me a bowl of beef noodles. Make crab roe buns and dumplings tomorrow morning, and make some beef sauce. I will take it to the yamen tomorrow."

The beef made by Aman has been improved by Qingshu and tastes very good. If you want to use it to open a store, the business will definitely be booming.

After eating, Fu Jingen went to the garden for a walk to digest food, but he always felt empty when walking alone in the garden. When he walked under the crabapple tree, he stopped and looked at the round moon in the sky. He didn't know if Qingshu looked at the moon and missed him like him!

After taking a walk, Fu Jingen called the butler to ask about his family’s affairs during this period.

In fact, Qingshu was not at home and did not entertain guests, so there was nothing wrong with him. The butler reported the matter in a few words. After saying that, he mentioned another thing: "Master, I heard that the second master was going to sell his house."

"Why sell the house? Isn't the old lady of the Duan family cured?"

This was what Yin Quan told him, and he remembered it after hearing it.

The butler said: "It seems that Mrs. Duan wants to settle back in Pingzhou, so she has to sell her house. Master, Mrs. Duan wants to return to Pingzhou, and the second master is likely to follow her."

Fu Jingen said indifferently: "It's good to go back to Pingzhou, your ears are pure."

He wouldn't care whether the Duan family was in the capital or returned to Pingzhou. He had spent so much effort before and didn't make Fu Jingnan right, so he could no longer worry about him.

The butler looked at his expression and said softly: "If the second master returns to Pingzhou, Young Master Yi and Young Master Jia may also follow him."

As for Zhuang Wanqi, he knew Fu Jingen was disgusted, so he didn't mention it.

Fu Jingen said: "What does the Duan family want to go back to Pingzhou, Fu Yi and Fu Jia? Their surname is Fu, but the capital is their roots."

If he really asked him to bring the two brothers back to Pingzhou, the two children would probably have to be destroyed. He had already raised his younger brother, and Fu Jingen would not have allowed Mrs. Duan to harm her two nephews anymore. As for Shan Xiuhongsheng, he couldn't care if he didn't have the surname Fu.

The butler knew his attitude when he heard this. If he was told by Mrs. Duan to take the two children to Pingzhou, he would have to tell the master as soon as possible.

Before I could sit in the front yard, I heard that Guan was cheering up. It must be very important to come here at this time.

Guan Zhenqi came here this time and knew that Tongcheng was about to fight. This time he came here to recommend his cousin Guan Zhengang to Fu Jingen: "My cousin is three years old and entered the army at the age of fifteen. He stayed in the northwest for five years and made two achievements. He was transferred back to the capital and is now a thousand households in the infantry battalion."

Because Guan Zhenyu was not an important figure in the filial period, he could not have taken the lead in the battle. But they all knew that they would win this battle, so they didn't want to miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. His brother was not good enough, so he wanted his cousin to go. As long as he made meritorious and promoted, he would definitely help the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

After making contributions, it shows that he has real talent. Fu Jingen said: "Just ask him to write a document to ask for battle and hand it over."

For these military generals who have military merits, things on the border town are very welcome.
