The five years of Xinghe, for the Zhao Palace and even the entire north, are no different from previous years. It's nothing more than a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt after the New Year's Pass, and the official roads congested by heavy snow have been cleared more vigorously this year, and the Purple Mountain Changling is still in full swing. Nowadays, seventy percent of the people who participate in the construction of the tomb have settled in Changling, making it a lively place no less than the surrounding small counties. Although the place of the mausoleum needs to be solemn, but now that Yanbei is alive, don't say that the mausoleum has not been repaired...... Even if it's repaired, it doesn't matter if it's lively.

From another point of view, although Changling cannot bring any substantial benefits to the Yan clan at present, except for itself, the settlement outside this mausoleum has brought extraordinary vitality to Handan, the capital of Zhao Guoguo. Because this Changling Tomb, with a population of more than 10,000 households, has no production capacity at all, everything is transported by merchants, which brings unprecedented prosperity to the trade route.

And those things that are unresolved due to the limitations of the times and are regarded as common sense can only continue to be unresolved and continue to circulate.

The ice of the heavy snow blocking the road gradually broke through, and the first person to set foot on the official road was none other than the messengers who gathered in Henan from all over the country, and hurriedly changed into a fast horse in the pavilion of Hebei and galloped all the way towards the Zhao Palace.

In the first month of the beginning of each year, the palace of Zhao Wang is always busy, and the people in the palace are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, but there are still countless things to be planned.

Most of the political affairs are the letters of debriefing from various localities at the end of last year, such as how many acres of barren land have been opened up in a certain county, how many displaced people have been resettled, how many cases have been handled, and how many rogues have been exterminated. The officials of the Zhao Palace's palace quickly checked the cases and registered them in the register, and reported to Yanbei for decision, and Yanbei, who had to bow down to everything, read all the cases one by one, and finally decided which ones to be handled by him personally and which ones to be handled by the palace adjutants.

This is very interesting, Yanbei's power in the world today is like an emperor, the emperor is usually easily deceived, even this kind of government affairs case, he often needs someone to help him review, pick out what he sees, what he doesn't see, this is common sense. But Yan Bei's identity determines that there is no such person around him...... Because in essence, he is still a powerful minister.

Powerful ministers, monopolize the power of the government, who dares to snatch food from the mouths of powerful ministers?

Others pick out what he wants to see and what he doesn't want to see. That's not what the next man did, that's what he did. It is up to him Yan Zhongqing to pick out what is for the emperor to see and what is not for the emperor to see, this is the meaning of the existence of the ministers, to deceive the emperor.

It's easy, it's too easy.

Yan Bei looked at the mountains of cases and secretly sighed that this was too hard for the emperor, so he moved all the cases to the left - not to let the emperor see them!

The backlog of political affairs is reasonable, and military affairs are accidental, but the most important thing in all cases is undoubtedly military affairs. He didn't worry much about political affairs, and those who were appointed to serve as governors in various places were all the best of the best, and they sat in the localities, and the reports were nothing trivial, not big.

At the beginning of this year, it seems that there is still the joy of the end of last year, and among the backlog of military cases in various places, there is nothing that really worries Yanbei.

If you have to say that you are worried, it is nothing more than Cao Cao's movements. Speaking of Cao Cao, he is also a wonderful person, although he has never stopped fighting with Yanbei, but every year during the Chinese New Year, he will send someone to Yanbei to send a handmade poem, Fu ah, etc., or some rare small objects, the gift is not light or heavy, just right, and even will bring a long letter to talk about the feelings of the past year, there are complaints, there are feelings...... If it weren't for the fact that they had been at war for many years, Yanbei would almost have thought that this letter was from a close friend he hadn't seen for years.

Despite the hostile war aside, he and Cao Cao were indeed close friends.

Except for the dead Liu Biao, which of the princes who have survived to this day doesn't care at all? Yanbei, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, the four of them fought side by side in their early years, and even in the war, Liu Bei was Yanbei's guest general, and Yanbei lifted the table for Cao Cao in front of more than a dozen princes.

When they were younger, it was a great friendship.

Yanbei put the letter sent by Cao Cao on the desk, raised his hand to rub his hair bun, and beckoned the palace man to prepare a pot of turbid wine to prepare pen and ink, ready to reply to Cao Cao.

Ah Bao's life is becoming more and more embarrassing, last year he was still in the mood to talk freely about military affairs with himself, but this year it is just a short time for some parents. The letter complained to Yanbei that after Cao Hong was captured, his orphans and widows were in distress and very unhappy, although he didn't say it, but the implication seemed to be that Yanbei should return Cao Hong, otherwise a litter of people would die. There is also a maid like his brother-in-law Bian Bing who fell in love with Mrs. Bian, but last autumn Huan'er gave birth to a son named Cao Ju, and Huan'er became Mrs. Huan'er, and the brother-in-law was depressed all day long, how should this be good.

Yanbei thought that what Cao Cao said was indeed reasonable, and said that after mentioning the pen and saying some nonsense such as Brother Mengde's words, he mentioned Cao Hong, and wrote: "Zilian has a good life in Handan, and he has a bumper harvest in Jizhou last year, Zilian has a lot of fortune, and Mengde doesn't have to worry about it." Regarding the matter of Zilian's wife and children, Meng De reminded that who can bear to see husband and wife separated and father and son separate! Alas, it's really sad! As for the brother and sister-in-law, Meng De doesn't need to worry, there are many good children in the world, why worry about just one person? Brother Meng De, don't move in Wuling, the north will send someone to bring you all to Handan for reunion! ”

Calling the rider to bring the letter, Yanbei sent someone to prepare a piece of Fengche Duwei's seal letter for Bian Bing, and then sent someone to pick a small sandalwood bow sent by Le Lang from the arsenal as a gift from Cao Cao's son Cao Ju, and let the rider send it to Wuling together. Naturally, Yan Bei did not forget to tell him to go to Jingzhou to find Zhang Jaw first, and let Zhang Jaw give him ideas on how to give things to Cao Cao.

The southwest is in chaos, in case Cao Mengde's chaotic army is slaughtered again, how unbeautiful it is.

But there was a big matter in his heart, and Yan Bei drank warm wine and turned over the battle report sent from elsewhere. Not to mention, writing a reply letter to Cao Cao can really make people feel good. Especially when I think of the excitement of inviting them all to Handan for reunion, Yanbei's heart is extremely hot!

But maybe the son of the old man will come faster than the brother Cao Mengde!

Xu Huang, who was previously sitting in Xuzhou, sent a letter to Yanbei saying that the war in Jiangdong had shown a clear situation, and Sun Ce's brave combat and military strategy were all temporary choices, but the helpless thing was Jiangdong's strength, which was still too weak compared to the Yan clan that played half of the world. Their warships will be destroyed when they hit one, but the Yan clan has continuously mobilized ships from the north, and Tian Yu blocked all the ports of Yangzhou on the south bank of the river last winter.

By the time the news was better, there were already local scholars in Yangzhou who had come into contact with the Yan clan to inquire about how much position they would be able to maintain after the surrender of the Sun clan.

There is no better news in the world!
