Beautiful step by step

Chapter 179

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March—Anti-Japanese War.

That's right, the freshly released Commander Yan, the first emperor's order he received was to go south to hunt down the remaining Japanese pirates.

As the third largest beneficiary of a series of turmoil in the spring of Jianwen 40 years after King Wu and King Wei, Yan Heng naturally became the hottest upstart in Beijing.There are many people congratulating, and more people are jealous.

A third-rank frontier official and a fifth-class man who is not full of weak crowns, the son of a dragon and a grandson of a phoenix are better than him in terms of title, how can people not be jealous.Therefore, after hearing this emperor's order, there were not a few people in Beijing who gloated at other people's misfortune, but this order made Yan Heng less eye-catching.

Sitting in the building boat and going south along the canal, she had a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the river, took a breath of fresh and slightly humid air, stroked her bulging belly, and smiled softly and contentedly.

Originally, she didn't have to come with her this time, not only because her belly is getting bigger, but also because it is customary for military generals' families to stay in Beijing as hostages.

But she couldn't sit still when she heard Anti Japanese!
That's anti-Japanese!
In the past two years, she has lived a happy and fulfilling life, and she seldom thinks about the things before time travel.But when it comes to fighting against the Japanese, I was a member of the Celestial Dynasty in my previous life, bathed in the light of the Red Party, and was poisoned by modern history throughout my youth. Some deep-rooted concepts are still engraved in my bones, and I will raise my head at an appropriate time.

For example, a gentleman loves money and obtains it in a proper way, and another example is the concept of history.

Compared with ordinary people, some of her ideas are stronger.Traveling through the avant-garde family as an upstart is to start in the Great Patriotic War.When my grandfather was teaching her those awkward ancient Chinese, he even told her family history as a story by the way.In what year did Wei's cloth make military uniforms, how many soldiers from the front line were recruited in which year, how seriously injured were those soldiers, and when the enemy situation was the worst, the whole factory stopped production to dig trenches.A letter from home, full of blood and tears in the Great Patriotic War.

Although she persuaded Dongxue to let go of her past hatred earlier, it was an unscrupulous means after she became angry.No matter how much you say, it is not more enjoyable to destroy a person's beliefs and life goals from the root.As far as she is concerned, some things that she has been in contact with since childhood will be imprinted deep in her blood over time, such as runes engraved on her soul, which cannot be washed away for life.

Although separated by a whole time and space, her feelings for certain ethnic groups will not change.

Anti Japanese, must go!
After trying her best to convince Wei's mother, she made some preparations without fear of hardship or trouble.

The first is that the exterior is simple and comfortable.Over the past few years, the spring invented by Ding Youde has been widely used in carriages.The wisdom of the ancients is infinite. They not only used the springs on the shock absorbers of the carriage, but also ingeniously made the springs exquisite and compact, and fixed them in leather to become high-elastic cushions.When she saw the ancient version of the sofa in the business house, she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.What surprised her even more was that the company perfectly integrated the spring cushions with other furniture and embroidery techniques: the wooden armrests and backrests were handcrafted, and the cloth wrapped outside was embroidered with exquisite atmosphere.

With shock-absorbing carriages and cushions, boat fatigue can be ignored.

Then there is her physical condition. She has been pregnant for nearly five months, but her figure is still thin, only her abdomen is slightly protruding. She is covered with thick winter clothes, and she still looks like a slim girl before.With such a sex madness, anyone would doubt whether she can adapt to long-distance travel.

Wei Wei knows her body well. Three years ago, she was very weak. After three years of unremitting exercise, her body is not weaker than ordinary people.Except for a small number of rich and wealthy families, pregnant women who are not pregnant continue to work, do not start to rest until just before giving birth, and confine their faces for at most two months.She was just rushing, and she didn't personally lead troops into battle to kill the enemy, so there would definitely be no major problems.

But Mother Wei didn't believe it!When she was pregnant, she still worked in front of Old Madam Feng, but now it's Wei Wei's turn, she can't wait to confess her daughter.

In the end, it was all thanks to Zhenbei Hou Chuying, who had long disliked Wei Wei.I thought she would be a help to help him embrace the beauty.Unexpectedly, instead of helping, she attracted Qing Niang's full attention, leaving him with no place to show his attention.

Get out of Beijing quickly!

With this in mind, Zhenbeihou, who had been invisible for many years, entered the palace for the first time, and asked Emperor Qinglong to send an imperial physician to accompany him to heal the people in the south of the Yangtze River who were injured by Japanese pirates.

This reason is high-sounding, and can demonstrate the emperor's benevolence. Emperor Qinglong didn't even think about it, and directly agreed with a wave of his hand.

With the imperial physician accompanying the team going south, conditions were much better than those in Beijing.After confirming that her daughter's body was not as weak as it seemed, Mother Wei had no choice but to let her go.

Of course, in addition to the two points of external conditions and the feelings of relatives, the most important thing for Wei Wei to follow is to act as a think tank.The former acting commander had a bad reputation, and Yan Heng rarely recruited staff, out of necessity and out of habit, he was used to discussing difficult matters with her.

Now, Yan Heng came in with a bowl of hot red dates and wolfberry ginseng tea, put down the tea cup and sat down opposite her.

"Ah, this time I went to the south of the Yangtze River, apart from fighting the Japanese, the emperor also secretly entrusted me with another matter."

Is there another matter of secret delivery?Thinking of the secret decree of Emperor Qinglong when he first went to Liangzhou, Wei Wei blurted out: "I won't ask you to investigate again, right?"

"Ah Mao really predicted things like a god. The emperor ordered me to secretly investigate corruption in the Jiangnan officialdom."

Corruption in the south of the Yangtze River, you don't need to think about it to know how big a fish it is.

"Since the outbreak of corruption in the northwest, the emperor has been cleaning the officialdom in Dayue for the past two years. First in the northwest, then in the southwest, and then in the southeast. The number of officials who have been arrested is unknown. The execution platform in front of the Meridian Gate has been murdered every autumn. It flows like a river and won't dry up throughout the winter. Now most of the territory has been wiped out, leaving only Jiangnan and Gyeonggi."

Wei Wei couldn't tell how many times he had admired Emperor Qinglong for being a peerless emperor.Corruption was detected, and it was still such an organized and planned thorough investigation, and after the detection, regardless of his own reputation and the intricate relationship behind these corrupt officials, he directly ransacked the house and beheaded according to the Da Viet Law. How much determination and courage.

The emperor is like this, and the following courtiers have no reason not to work hard.

As the number one military adviser of Yan Heng's staff, he usually hides mysteriously behind the curtains of the Yan Mansion.When the other officials of the Liangzhou Guards mentioned "him", they all looked inquiring, and then there were all kinds of admiration, which made Wei Wei quickly come up with a good idea.

Blinking to the opposite side, soon a woman's discomfort came from the most spacious and comfortable room on the top floor of the building, and Yan Heng, who was sitting opposite her, went down to the second floor in three steps at a time, with a panicked look on his face. Summon the imperial physician.

"My lord, Madam is a little seasick."

True seasickness or fake seasickness?Seeing that the imperial physician's expression did not seem to be fake, Yan Heng's face became heavy.In the eyes of interested people, this means that Mrs. Yan is seriously ill.So much so that when the boat arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, when everyone was interrogated by Jiangnan officials in every possible way, they all insisted that Mrs. Yan was seriously ill, and Master Yan had to accompany her to get off the boat to recuperate.

Everyone said that, but these Jiangnan officials couldn't believe it.

But this situation made them even more confused. Is Mrs. Yan really terminally ill, and Mrs. Yan accompanied her to get off the boat to recuperate; or Mrs. Yan pretended to be sick, and used this as an excuse to help Mrs. Yan hide completely in the dark?
Originally, most people tended to the latter. The water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River were famous for raising people, and Mrs. Yan could endure the northwest, so why did she become so seriously ill as soon as she entered the south of the Yangtze River?But later when they heard that Mrs. Yan was pregnant, their originally firm thoughts began to waver.

Maybe Mrs. Yan really can't stand the long distance?It's not that the emperor hasn't decreed a thorough investigation of Jiangnan's officialdom, so why should we worry and speculate here.

True and false, false and true, Wei Wei just wanted to muddy the water.

Before that, the only thing she had to do was to eat, drink, have fun, and raise her baby with peace of mind.Her pregnancy is now five months old, and she didn't feel anything was wrong before leaving Beijing, but in just a few days on the way, her belly grew bigger like a balloon.

However, her figure is already slender, and after several years of training with Yan Heng, she is very dexterous after a lot of training, and now she doesn't feel bulky even with a big belly.

When the building boat docked in Xuzhou, she disembarked in a small sedan chair with a green roof and entered the other courtyard of Wenshihou's mansion here.When she was in Beijing, she visited Wenshihou's Mansion, and after being instructed by the old lady of Hou's Mansion, she calmed down and dealt with the state school affairs sent by Liangzhou.No matter how chaotic the situation outside was, she acted as if she couldn't hear her, and finally managed to avoid the storm of abolishing the prince on the cusp of the storm.

The matter of abolishing the prince, as long as it is involved in the past and present, it usually ends badly.

A person who can be established as a prince with virtuousness is not far behind.Perhaps at the moment when the reserve was abolished, the emperor's dislike for the prince reached its peak.But after the limelight passed, he would think of the good things about the prince himself. At this time, those who participated in the abolition of the prince would turn into traitors.

With Yan Heng's shallow foundation now, and he didn't deliberately make good friends with the favorites such as King Wu or King Wei, participating in this matter would definitely do a lot of harm and no benefit.

But at that time, Yan Heng was at the center of the leak of military information, and seeing that he was about to be covered in blood inevitably, the Wenshihou Mansion extended a helping hand in time.As a family of historians, the Ban family has experienced many abolishments, many of which they even know in more detail than the royal family. Although they do not have the right and ambition to control the overall situation, it is not difficult to find ways to protect themselves.

Some family members called from the side, and they finally retreated unscathed.

During this process, Wei Wei often interacted with the female relatives of the Marquis of Wenshi.From Mrs. Ban down, all the female family members of the Ban family are very knowledgeable people, and they highly appreciate the state school she runs.After she humbly asked for advice, Mrs. Hou even went back to her natal home and invited her widowed sister to teach female students in Liangzhou.

The current Mrs. Wen Shihou's natal family is also a scholarly family, and their sisters also gathered together since childhood to read and write, and they have a close relationship with each other.Watching her younger sister gradually turn into a pool of stagnant water after her brother-in-law died, she couldn't say how uncomfortable she was.Seeing her younger sister finally willing to come out of the back house to discuss various matters of state education with Ah Mao, and regaining the momentum she had when she was a girl, she couldn't say how grateful she was to Wei Wei.

So after hearing that Wei Wei was going south with her husband and son-in-law with a big belly, she, who had an overview of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, thought that Yan Heng's time as an official was short, and she might not have bought much property.With a wave of gratitude, he directly told them to live in the Banjia other courtyard along the way if necessary.
