Your husband is too motivated

Chapter 31

I don't know whether Han Jing was lucky or God didn't like him. In the second year after Han Jing arrived at Qinghe Pass, a war broke out.

Originally, it was good intention of Emperor Yan to arrange Han Jing to Qingheguan. Although the environment there is a bit harsh, there is not much danger. It is said that it is to resist nomads, and it is more used for transportation and trade, and some neighboring small countries pay annual tributes. It is also necessary to pass through here when you are in the mountains. Although you can't make any military achievements, you can still get a lot of things.

When he knew that he was going to Qinghe Pass, Han Tao was very satisfied. He felt that Emperor Yan took special care of Han Jing. No matter what, sooner or later he will find an opportunity to make military achievements.

It's just that Han Jing didn't expect that the opportunity to make military achievements would come so quickly and be so dangerous.

Both Mr. Tang and Tang Qingkang were assigned positions by Emperor Yan. Even Tang Nuan's father, Tang Yuanshan, also joined the Imperial Academy. This was specially arranged by Emperor Yan not to be rejected by Tang Yuanshan.

The Tang family naturally knew about Qinghe Pass. Even Tang Cheng who was in the academy had returned. Tang Nuan's second brother, Tang Xu, was driven by Mr. Tang to help Tang Nuan, who was not in Beijing at this time.

Mr. Tang did not hide it from Tang Nuan, he explained the matter to Tang Nuan carefully, Tang Yuanshan, who has always been calm, frowned, Tang Cheng stood aside and drew a rough map of the surrounding area of ​​Qingheguan with a pen and paper. Tang Qingkang in clothes came out, and Tang Cheng's map had just been drawn.

"How can this be good." Tang Nuan's mother He Shi was so anxious that her eyes were red, and said, "Whenever there is no chaos, why is it at this time?"

Mrs. Tang said softly, "Mr. He, please sit down first."

It was only then that Mrs. He realized her gaffe, and sat next to Mrs. Tang. Tang Nuan was also in a daze for a moment when she first found out, but now she had calmed down, poured Mrs. He a glass of warm water and said, "Mother, Soothe your throat."

Tang Qingkang's wife, Mrs. Zhao, also persuaded, "Don't worry, brothers and sisters, there is always a way. Anyway, the son is also a royal relative, and the people at Qingheguan will never let him go to a dangerous place."

He sighed in relief and nodded, "It's also true."

Tang Qingkang and Tang Yuanshan looked at each other. They felt that Han Jing would not live in the back. Han Jing is an ambitious person. This kind of ambition was also forced out by reality. When he realized that the end of not fighting or grabbing is being bullied, When his life was not even guaranteed, his whole body was awakened. The rich country is in danger. If Han Jing really wanted to be safe and sound, he would not choose to join the army. He might as well stay in the capital honestly and wait to inherit the title.

Tang Cheng said, "The academy is also discussing these things."

Mr. Tang did not open his mouth. He was looking at the map drawn by Tang Cheng. After a long time, he took a pen aside and drew a circle at the upper right corner of Qinghe Pass, and said, "What do you think, Nuan girl?"

Tang Nuan asked, "The granddaughter just doesn't understand what they are attacking Qinghe Guantu at this time."

Now is not the time for the autumn harvest, let alone the time to pay the annual tribute, how much benefit can these people gain by attacking Qinghe Pass?I am afraid that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, because these nomads are not a whole, they have different tribes, Qinghe Pass allows trade, and they still need to exchange tea, salt and other things from Yuanyong.

The attack on Qinghe Pass will not only damage the interests of Yuan Yong, but also the interests of those tribes who want to trade with Yuan Yong, unless these people want to directly occupy Qinghe Pass, but the advantage of the nomads lies in the cavalry In fact, if they really occupied Qinghe Pass, they would not camp there except by burning, killing and looting, because that would lose their advantage.

So Tang Nuan couldn't figure out, what good would it be for them to do this.

Mr. Tang didn't speak, but looked at Tang Cheng and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Could it be a slap in the face?"

Mr. Tang heard the words and said, "The sound is from Qinghe Pass, so where is their target?"

Tang Cheng hesitantly pointed out five places on the map, then crossed out two more, and finally left three but stopped.

Tang Qingkang looked at the three locations on the map, and patted Tang Yuanshan on the shoulder. Nothing would make him happier than having successors to the Tang family. Mr. Tang finally clicked on one of the locations and said, "Go back and think about it, why is it here? , take this as your homework, and leave it to me these two days."

"Yes." Tang Nuan and Tang Cheng both agreed.

Mrs. Tang said, "Let's talk about the son first."

Mr. Tang snorted, "If you have the ability, you will naturally make contributions. If you don't have the ability, so what if you die? It's just an engagement."

He was stunned, and didn't realize it for a while. In her mind, since her daughter was engaged to Han Jing, she would naturally have to live a lifetime. Why did she listen to her father-in-law? Han Jing has nothing to do, so how could there be? Repentance means that if something happened to Han Jing, my father-in-law might turn his back on him and refuse to admit it.

After all, Mrs. Tang was very careful, and said, "Isn't this girl Nuan not married yet?"

Tang Nuan looked down at the water in the glass and didn't speak. She knew that her grandfather and grandmother were thinking of themselves, but she promised to wait for the boy to come back.

Tang Yuanshan said, "I don't think Shizi seems to be short-lived. Since Qinghe Pass is a cover, I don't think there will be any danger. I'm just afraid..."

"If you can see that Qingheguan is a cover, I'm afraid Ziheng will take the initiative to go to Suguan." After all, Tang Cheng knew Han Jing, and Suguan was the last place Mr. Tang ordered. Compared with Qingheguan, Suguan Danger is much more important. If Suguan is breached, Beijing may be in danger, so Emperor Yan also attaches great importance to Suguan. There has never been a shortage of food and grass there. Those with military merits are never arranged in Suguan.

Although Emperor Yan is somewhat lacking in matters concerning the crown prince and several princes, overall speaking, Emperor Yan can be regarded as a wise emperor.

"I'm afraid that the authorities will be confused." Tang Qingkang said with a sigh.

Mr. Tang suddenly said, "What if Qinghe Pass is really breached?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang drew a line on the paper with a pen, "Go southeast through Qinghe Pass, pass through Chengtang, Yuguan, Yuncheng, and turn over Wangshan, just to the back of Suguan .”

"The most important point is that a grain road to Suguan was also cut off." Tang Qingkang said in a deep voice, the situation was more dangerous than they thought.

Tang Nuan also understood after listening to his grandfather's explanation, and what they thought was wrong from the beginning.

Just as Tang Cheng was about to say something, the steward hurried in and said, "The old man has come to the palace."

Mr. Tang said, "Hurry up, please."

The eunuch who passed the decree looked anxious, and after coming in to salute, he said, "Master Tang, Your Majesty let the two adults enter the palace immediately."

Old Master Tang and Tang Qingkang didn't even have time to change their clothes, so they took the hand-drawn map and followed the eunuch to leave.

After everyone had left, Mrs. Tang said, "Go back and rest, I'm afraid the master and the others won't come back today."

Tang Yuanshan said, "I'll send my mother back."

Mrs. Zhao saw that Mrs. He had something on her mind, and looking at Tang Yuanshan's appearance, she was afraid that she would not go back if she had something to discuss with Mrs. Tang, so she took the initiative to say, "Sisters and sisters, let's talk by candlelight tonight?"

"Okay." He nodded.

Tang Cheng said with a smile, "Then I'll take my sister back to the house."

He said softly, "Sister Nuan, don't think too much, we have everything."

Tang Nuan leaned into He's arms and said, "Understood, so does mother."

Mrs. He responded, but Tang Yuanshan said with a smile, "Okay, let's all go back, sister Nuan, go to bed early."

"kindness."

After Tang Nuan and Tang Cheng greeted Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Zhao, they left together. On the way, Tang Nuan suddenly asked, "Third Brother, do you have something to say?"

Tang Cheng said, "I'm going to Qinghe Pass."

Tang Nuan asked, "Why did you suddenly make this decision?" What Tang Cheng said was not that I wanted to go to Qinghe Pass, but that I was going. It was obvious that I had already made a decision. I just wanted to talk to someone at this time, after all This decision has to go through the hurdle of the elders.

Tang Cheng said, "Actually, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do in the future? Take the imperial examinations like Brother Datang, and then become an official? Actually, I'm not made to be an official, and I don't like those things, because I can't bear my temper. "

Tang Nuan actually understood that even Mr. Tang and the others could see it, so they never forced Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng said, "When Ziheng said he was going to join the army, I thought about it, but I didn't make that decision."

"Grandfather probably won't let you go." Tang Nuan said, "Because it's useless if you go."

The expression on Tang Cheng's face changed into a wry smile, "Can you not be so straightforward?"

Tang Nuan stopped, turned to look at Tang Cheng and said, "If you don't say it now, it will hurt you."

Tang Cheng also knew, otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated at the beginning, "I'll think about it again."

"If you've made up your mind, discuss it with your uncle or grandfather." Tang Nuan said, "Third Brother, you can think about it carefully. What are you going to do when you go out to kill the enemy?"

Tang Cheng tapped Tang Nuan's forehead, "I see." He knew that Tang Nuan's reminder was for his own good, and he really thought it through before he mentioned it to his elders.

Tang Nuan covered her forehead, and Tang Cheng said, "Don't worry, Ziheng is not a man without measure. His grandfather and uncle have also entered the palace. I think the court will deal with it soon."

"I know." Tang Nuan said.

Tang Cheng sent Tang Nuan to the door of the house and said, "Go in and have a good rest."

Tang Nuan nodded, and said, "Third brother, go back first, I want to sit outside."

Tang Cheng knew that Tang Nuan was a thoughtful person since she was a child, so he didn't say anything else, patted her on the head lightly, turned and left.
