Jinling. Time seems to pass without even noticing.

Autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is soaked in forests. Autumn colors are dyed all over the country. Chung Yeung Festival is coming at such a time.

Drink chrysanthemum wine, eat chongyang cake, wear dogwood, and climb the heights.

Jiafu West Road in Derun Fang, in the exquisite garden built, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, grass and trees, are all ingenuity.

In the morning, autumn and hee. Several beauties with different looks and temperaments enjoy chrysanthemums in the garden.

Daiyu wears a white floor-length skirt, a green silk hair in a bun, a hollow hosta, a slender and graceful figure, sitting on a stone bench with a mattress in the pavilion, like a delicate flower shining on the moon. The maids are waiting.

Daiyu sighed softly: "Sister Bao, third sister, there is no longer the grand occasion when you and I enjoyed chrysanthemums in Beijing that day!" ”

Tanchun, Baochai, Baoqin, and Xiangling are all there.

On the same day, in the Begonia Society, a group of girls were singing chrysanthemums in Jiafu. There are twelve chrysanthemum poems: Lin Xiaoxiang won the chrysanthemum poem, Xue Xue Wu satirical and crab song. Now, welcoming spring, cherishing spring, and Xiangyun are all in the capital.

Tanchun smiled and nodded. After the second brother got married, he became more and more to the Buddha and often stayed in the temple. And the third brother is in the Western Regions, and there is often news of war in Pravda. Worrying.

"Hmm." Baochai sighed softly. With her dignified and dignified temperament, at this time, it was also a long sigh. Qiu Sheng knows what I mean, and I should send it to Chang'anxi.

…

…

Chung Yeung Festival, the world spends together.

In the capital, the West Garden, and the Imperial Garden, the autumn chrysanthemum blooms, competing for beauty. Various varieties: white chrysanthemum, red chrysanthemum, black chrysanthemum, etc.

The Son of Yongzhi brought Empress Yang, Dugu nobles, and Qingmei to taste wine and enjoy flowers in the garden. Xu Yan, the chief eunuch, and several eunuchs were making fun and laughing in front of him.

Yongzhi Tianzi laughed heartily from time to time.

The Son of Heaven has not had such joy for a long time. The reason for all this is because of the good news that arrived yesterday: the great victory in the Western Regions. Nearly 50,000 were killed, more than 100,000 were captured, and millions of cattle were raised. It can be said that the first war made the offensive and defensive situation of the Western Regions different!

In the afternoon, the Son of Heaven went to the imperial study and listened to the reward plan of the Western Regions for the important ministers of the imperial court: Hua, Wei, and Song, as well as Ji Xingsheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Meng He, Wei Qihou, the king of Beijing, the prince of Chengguo, and the king of Wu.

In the afternoon, the reward plan was announced: Feng Ping Nanbo, the right capital Yu Shi Qi Chi for Dingxi, awarded Guanglu Doctor. posthumously sealed his mother, sealed his wife, and shaded his son. All the generals under his command are rewarded according to their merits. The rewards are innumerable. Pardon for the crimes of officials of the Western Regions and other officials who leave their posts without permission.

After the Double Ninth Festival, the candidate was selected: Fei Minzheng, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, set off from the capital later.

…

…

Ten days have passed since the victory in the Battle of Beishan. The joy and climax after the big victory slowly came to an end.

There is no news about the partial division who went to Qiuzi. The Zhou army, after crossing the desert, approached Hami, and after a false shot, occupied Rouyuan City next to the Liugu River. Garrisons are here. Threatens the entire territory of the capital of Illinois.

Subsequently, the work of saving lives and helping the injured began. The work of handling materials is also carried out in an orderly manner.

In mid-September, it was already winter in the northwest, which was not suitable for large-scale military use. The fighting was relatively calm. The officers and soldiers of the three armies are all waiting for the reward from the imperial court.

In this context, Jia Huan issued a decree in Da Bingze: Anyone who insults the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty will die. This decree caused great repercussions in the Dunhuang area. For example, when Han Bo'an, the political envoy of Zuobu in the Western Regions, discussed in private, he was very disapproving: "Who does Jia Ziyu think he is?" Heavenly King Lao Tzu? After all, it's a teenager's ambition! ”

For example, Han Wugong, a student of Fuxue who followed Jia Huan, sighed at Jia Huan's toughness when discussing with his classmates in Fuxue. He has a very distinct personal style: straightforward and straightforward, with clear grievances. This is a man who can't rub sand in his eyes. is very different from Jia Huan's image of a talented man!

In Dunhuang City, the common feeling is that the decree of the imperial court is getting tougher and tougher against the barbarians. But it is undoubtedly in line with the atmosphere of the Great Victory period!

An icy light rain fell in the city of Dunhuang. In late autumn, it is already winter. In a wine shop outside the yamen of the governor's palace, Zhang Qing, a servant in the governor's palace, was invited to eat by a businessman from his hometown.

The merchant is in his twenties, which is very young in the trade. It was the sixth day of the first month of September, at the gate of the Da Bingze camp, watching Jia Huan travel with the Great Zhou cavalry, and lamenting that he had lived in vain for more than 20 years: Lou Leng, a native of Chang'an.

The chapter clerk was in his forties, and he twisted his beard and said: "It's not shirking." The sale of cattle and sheep and other livestock, as well as the sale of slaves and human beings, are all fat meat that all parties are staring at. What Lou Yuan wanted, how did he live in the next officer? ”

Lou Leng was silent, and asked unrelentingly: "Then, please ask Master Zhang to show you a clear way." ”

The chapter clerk said: "In the governor's palace today, the one who speaks the most is undoubtedly Senator Jia. Moreover, he is in charge of the transfer of grain and grass for the army. The second is the staff of the big handsome, Hu Chi, who is known as the King of Southwest Qian. If Lou Yuan wants to get something, he can start with the attaché next to these two people. ”

Lou Leng nodded and thanked, "Thank you Lord Zhang for informing me." ”

…

…

One layer of autumn rain and one layer of cool. In mid-September and late autumn, Dunhuang is completely winter.

Jia Huan purchased a courtyard covering an area of several acres near the Governor's Mansion to house his entourage and generals. Since the victory in the Battle of Beishan, the civil officials in the post station have gradually moved out of the post station. Jia Huan is free to follow the crowd.

It's really uncomfortable to live in the post station. But Jia Huan's character will not be a leader in unnecessary circumstances.

The housing prices in Dunhuang are naturally incomparable with those in the capital. This exquisite house costs more than 100 taels. For him, it was very easy. As for the source, it goes without saying too clearly. In the city of Dunhuang, about 30 Hu nobles and wealthy merchants were executed and arrested. Confiscation of family property. The rest are all frightened birds.

In the corridor of the small building, Jia Huan enjoyed the rain.

Emotions are flying.

The situation in the Western Regions has been very tense since the army of the Western Expedition left Beijing to his westward journey to Dunhuang. Tight like a bowstring: Hu Qi is about to press the border, and the situation in the Western Regions is rotten. By this time, it can be said that the first stage: the strategic defense phase has passed.

Next, the period of strategic offensive will be transferred.

The current goal of the army has changed from holding the last strongholds in the Western Regions: Dunhuang and Guazhou, to capturing Qiuzi. Then, the four towns of Beiting and Anxi were recovered.

He is now in his free time after the Great War. For the time being, I will not pay attention to military and political affairs. He was thinking about the beauties of Jinling.

At this time, Qian Huai came up from downstairs and said, "Third master, there is a businessman named Lou Leng outside the door who wants to see you and wants to invite you to dinner." ”

Jia Huan didn't reply, and said with a smile: "Qian Huai, how many red envelopes did he give you?" Go back! ”

These days, many people visit him. Befriending is part of it, and there are some people who express it implicitly, hoping to help the army deal with the "spoils of war". But how could he agree to this? He knew it as soon as he heard the merchant.

Yes, he now has a very heavy weight in the Governor's Palace, and can basically decide all government affairs. However, when it comes to the distribution of interests, this is the authority of the Governor of Qi, and he is not so stupid as to cross the line.

All, the Guo family repeatedly invited him to eat and drink, but he didn't agree for the time being.
