Chapter 1416 Huangshan Pass

The ministers look at me and I look at you. Is this another power rising?

"Who does the emperor plan to let do this?"

As expected of the emperor's brother-in-law! To ask so directly, I am not afraid that the emperor will be angry.

The emperor frowned: "There is no candidate, so I want to ask you to come and ask."

Whether it is a guarded frontier fortress or a newly built frontier fortress, this is a big deal.

For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, and no one knew who to choose to come out.

"Do you want to let Prince Anping pass?"

The son of Anping is Nan Nan, and Nan Nan is still in Kyoto right now.

Since I came back to participate in the Cuju Competition last time and won the first National Cuju Competition Championship, I have not left.

He even stayed with Xianyou Xiangjun.

The emperor touched his fingers and began to think, if it was handed over to Nan Nan, it would not work.

"He's still young, and it's impossible for the side-by-side king to stay there."

"I don't think I'll be leaving for long. But Nannan is definitely going to go."

After all, I haven't seen my parents for so long, and Beibei must be there too.

The prairie, the emperor is a little envious. I also wanted to play, and couldn't help but look at the prince.

Can you retire now and become the Supreme Emperor?

The prince felt that his father looked at him with strange eyes, and couldn't help frowning.

"Father, do you have something to say to me?"

Looking at his son, who is still a little immature, with such a lot of pressure on him, forget it, let him be a human being!

At least wait until his son gets married before he abdicates.

Shaking his head: "It's okay, I was just thinking, if you were to recommend someone, who would you recommend?"

The prince frowned, obviously also thinking: "Let's find a veteran."

"It's safest for a veteran to guard the frontier, or let everyone recommend candidates."

"When the time comes, the emperor will choose one of these candidates."

Here are just a few people in what the court usually said in front of the emperor.

There are so many people in the entire imperial court, and there are so many talents, how could it be impossible to find even a few people.

"Okay, then deal with it according to what the prince said. Let's talk about it at the court tomorrow morning."

In the morning court the next day, the emperor still dealt with what had happened first.

Without Gu Xiangning by his side, the emperor felt that he was going to be exhausted, why so many things happened every day.

After everything was dealt with, just when everyone thought they could go down to court, the emperor suddenly spoke.

"I plan to build a frontier in one place, where there are bitter cold places."

"There are other people living not far from the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom."

Hearing this, a minister asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, why did you build the frontier fortress?"

"Go directly and take those people down. Wouldn't it be good to use them as the country?"

The emperor stared at the person who spoke, this person's mind is not small, the problem is unrealistic.

How big is the grassland, and all the people in Dazhou couldn't fill it up.

The land is vast and abundant, but the living environment is also difficult.

The emperor sighed: "It's not that I don't want to, but it's not easy to realize. The grassland is huge."

"It's so big that it's boundless, and although there is grass growing there, not all the places are suitable for farming."

"The wind is strong, and there are many disasters. If Da Zhou wins, the loss outweighs the gain."

It turned out to be like this, everyone stopped talking, if the living conditions are so bad.

It's understandable to covet Da Zhou, but you have to be on guard.

So everyone's eyes searched back and forth among the soldiers, wanting to see who was suitable.

Not to mention, because of this candidate, the factions in the court instantly became lively.

I want to firmly hold this position on my faction's side!

It's a pity that not everyone can be a big official who can guard one side.

This matter is so stalemate, the emperor will not worry now.

Because the number of candidates suddenly increased, they finally set their sights on a Hou Ye surnamed Du.

This Du Hou grandfather also had military merits, and he was also born in the war with Mu Yexiao.

Brainy and skilled, the main reason for choosing him is also very simple, mainly because he fought with Mu Yexiao.

When Lord Du heard that this job fell on him, he was still a little excited.

He gave Master Du 50,000 veterans, and then on the way out, he recruited troops from all over the place to gather enough 200,000 soldiers to guard.

Of course, the 200,000 troops are not as simple as guarding. After going there, the first thing to do is to build the city wall of Huangshan Pass.

Yes, the new name of the frontier is Huangshan Pass.

It has been half a month since the emperor selected manpower and dispatched troops.

Waiting for Master Du, no, now is the time when General Du brings his troops to Huangshan Pass, and it is already deep winter.

The heavy snow covered almost all of this place, and it became a vast expanse of whiteness.

General Du looked at the situation and found it difficult to deal with it. No wonder the emperor said that it might be very difficult here before he came.

Now it seems that it is not only very bitter.

Fortunately, I brought a lot of things, so I don't worry about keeping warm. General Du led his people and tried their best to hurry.

I was just worried, after they came, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu had already left.

This time when they came to guard Huangshan Pass, Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi came together.

It was just to meet Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu, not long after they came out, Nan Nan and Fang Xiaoxi wanted to sneak away.

But I held back and came with the army.

Fortunately, after arriving, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were still here. Staying in the small town on the border, waiting.

And Lin Sheng also returned to Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao's side.

The main reason is that I waited at that place for a long time, and I didn't wait for that guy Chu Wuxi to return.

Either he didn't go back, or he changed another way, and he had no choice but to go to Qian Jiujiu and the others.

The three of them rented a house in a small border town, stayed there temporarily, and went out to find places during the day.

See where it is convenient to build a city wall, which can be defended and not attacked by others.

After half a month, I really found a place, which is very suitable.

After finally waiting for General Du to arrive with an army of 50,000, the people in the border town began to panic.

"There is an army coming, run away."

Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao were also alarmed. They walked out and looked at the anxious people, feeling a little puzzled.

Stop a person directly: "What are you doing? Where are you going?"

The person who was stopped was very anxious: "You release me quickly, there are troops coming."

"If you don't run, it will be too late. There are a lot of troops coming this time."

Qian Jiujiu was still puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to run away when the army is here?"

Looking at the two strangers, he was very helpless: "You are here to play, so I don't know."

"When the army comes, they all come to grab things, and they run away after grabbing things."

"There are too many times, we can only run along, just run into the barren hill opposite."

"Those soldiers won't give chase."

Lin Sheng has already gone to check it clearly: "Master, the people who came are led by General Du."

Listening to what the people said, Qian Jiujiu was a little curious: "Do the troops here often come to grab your things?"

"My sister's place, there is no army stationed nearby."

No troops stationed? The man was also taken aback: "Impossible, every time it's the imperial court's army!"

"Wearing the imperial armor! Let me go, I won't have time to run away later."

Qian Jiujiu didn't let go: "This time it's the regular army, so don't worry about robbing your things."

The villager stared wide-eyed and looked at the person in front of him: "Are you with those people?"

Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes: "The people of the imperial court, how can they be described as a group."

"Your words make me feel very strange. I will ask you later."

Seeing those common people running quickly into the mountain, Qian Jiujiu shook his head amusedly.

"Do you believe that all these people ran away in vain?"

The villager was still a little puzzled: "Why?"

Qian Jiujiu chuckled: "Because these people came to station here."

"I won't leave in the future, so unless those people go into the barren mountains, they will definitely come back."

Those who ran over in a hurry, didn't even bring food, how long can they live in the barren hills.

The villager was stunned, what is it? Came here to stay?

What are they doing stationed in such a broken place? Is it because the imperial court has too much money?

Not even a place like this is spared.

Qian Jiujiu naturally didn't answer the villager's doubts, but just waited here and watched General Du bring people over.

Lin Sheng greeted him at the entrance of the village. When he saw General Du, he directly used the token in his hand.

"I am Lin Sheng, the guard next to King Side by Side. I have met General Du. My master is waiting in the village."

General Du quickly got off his horse and asked his lieutenant to keep an eye on the army.

Bringing Nannan and Fang Xiaoxi into the village.

When they saw Qian Jiujiu, Fang Xiaoxi and Nan Nan rushed forward and stopped in front of Qian Jiujiu.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

"Master, I miss you too."

Fang Xiaoxi stretched out her hand and threw herself into Qian Jiujiu's arms. Qian Jiujiu was also happy to see her son and apprentice.

Reach out to hug this, touch that, and be happy.

"That's great. I haven't seen you for almost a year. My son has grown taller, and Xiao Xi has also grown taller."

"Come on, let's take you to the grassland this time."

Fang Xiaoxi was still interested in going to the grassland, so she nodded.

Nannan asked curiously: "Where is Beibei? Where is Beibei now?"

Didn't my parents go to rescue Beibei?

Qian Jiujiu said with a smile: "Beibei is in the grassland, having fun!"

This is reminiscing about the old days, while General Du has already walked in front of Mu Yexiao: "The last general has seen the prince."

Mu Yexiao looked at the soldiers he brought out, they were all Marquis now, and he was also relieved to be able to guard a fortress.

"Haha, good job. I didn't expect you to come. Everything here has to start from scratch."

"For the next period of time, everyone has worked hard."
