The succession ceremony is imminent.

The King of Northern Frontier, oh no, now he can be called the new emperor.

On the second day, all civil and military officials gathered for the grand court meeting.

The new emperor sat on the throne that was fought over by the princes without any hesitation.

With the imperial decree of succession issued in court, even Minister Chen and others were unable to stop it and could only endure it temporarily.

It was because the 50,000 northern troops on the other side of the river had crossed the river yesterday and entered the camp in the capital.

The Jingzhao Yin, who was in charge of the Jingzhao garrison, even hung his head to his toes.

That day, only 5,000 northern troops had already marched straight into Shangjing. Not only did they sneak in late at night to control all the officials, but they also left the capital's camp and his garrison defenseless.

If the King of Northern Frontier was from an enemy country, I'm afraid the entire Yuan Dynasty would have changed.

Who can stop the 50,000 Northern Army?

Therefore, no matter what happened inside, all civil and military officials, including Minister Chen and others, knelt on the ground and bowed their heads, shouting "Long live the new emperor."

Northern Xinjiang.

Hot summer.

However, the military and civilians in the northern border did not feel the heat was unbearable as in previous years.

They ran through the mountains and fields under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, but their faces were full of joy.

This is the second crop of potatoes they have harvested.

And the first crop of corn.

Those bright orange corn cobs, crushed with a stone mill, can be boiled into the sweetest and most delicious porridge in the world.

Not only that, at the foot of the mountain in the southernmost part of the northern border, the general's mansion has newly opened up thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land.

Water is stored there, and more exotic crops than corn cobs are grown there.

It's called rice.

It’s a pity that these villages are not near mountains or rivers, so they can only grow crops such as potatoes and corn that can grow with the water from underground rivers.

The old farmer stared at the mountains that were vaguely visible in the distance, stretching for thousands of miles with no end in sight.

That was a place that their ancestors had feared but stayed away from for generations, and it was said that there were countless ferocious beasts in it.

Therefore, the people living at the foot of the mountain are now refugees from the southern region.

"Good good!"

"Hahahaha!"

The messenger from the capital entered the general's mansion.

Mr. Zhuang clapped his hands and laughed.

Qi Zhu was looking at the excerpt of the confession of guilt with a complicated look in his eyes.

Because of the words "traitorous ministers" that deceived him, more than 170 people in the Qi family were either beheaded or exiled.

Including him, there are less than ten people left.

When I first entered the General's Mansion, it was because the Qi and Xia families were in the same boat, and I also wanted to find shelter for my remaining relatives.

Later, as he watched Xiao Yan grow into the true King of the North, he wanted more.

For example, the entire Qi family can finally clear their grievances.

this day,

He waited twelve years.

"Military Advisor, the General has ordered you to sort out the miscellaneous affairs and hand over all matters concerning the Northern Frontier to General Hu. You will go to the capital with Mr. Zhuang and the others, as well as Miss Zhou and her family."

……

Going to Beijing.

The time is just three days later.

The Zhou family never imagined that they would have to move again after only half a year in the north.

Go to the foot of the emperor

——Go to Beijing.

Zhou Lingling asked Da Niu to call back all the people who were away from home.

There are also Zhou Chi and the Chen family.

She first met Uncle Tie and others.

"My dear uncles, last year you traveled thousands of miles from the Northern Frontier to the Southern Territory. You were supposed to come here to enjoy your retirement, but instead you made us all travel all the way here."

"I feel even more ashamed now. My family is heading to Shangjing. Unless something unexpected happens, we won't be returning to Northern Frontier for years. Do any of you uncles want to stay in Northern Frontier?"

Tie Yuan and others looked at each other.

Northern Xinjiang? Or Shangjing?

Tie Yuan frowned, "We have no relatives or friends, no one to support us in life, and no one to see us off in death. It was the general who took pity on us and ordered us to be retainers of the Zhou family, to protect them. Naturally, we will be wherever the master is."

The rest of the people mean the same thing.

No matter how many years they wasted in the camp, none of them could be as wonderful as the past year or so they spent with Miss Zhou.

I thought that all I could do in my life was to make fire and carry pots and pans, but I didn't expect that I could do something for the people.

This is a great fortune for them, and they will naturally work harder for the Zhou family.

Once things were settled here, it went without saying that my maternal grandparents would follow them to Beijing.

The old patriarch and his family were still thinking about returning to Yunshui County. Zhou Lingling also had some plans in mind, so she asked them to go to Beijing first.

So only the Tang family and the Sun family were left.

The Tang brothers and Old Man Sun signed a living contract with the Zhou family. They originally fled to the northern border.

Now that the Northern Frontier is thriving and the Tang brothers have made some achievements here, the family is a little conflicted about whether to stay in the Northern Frontier.

Especially the women of the Tang family, they were quite reluctant to leave the Zhou family.

They were ordinary women and children, illiterate and without many special talents.

I can work as a cleaner and cook in the home of a kind benefactor, have a place to live, and be able to support my family.

Although men have to be called "manager" when they go out now, they all feel a little anxious when they think that the whole family will have to live alone in this northern border in the future.

Zhou Lingling asked them to go back and discuss it, and it would not be too late to get back to them tomorrow.

However, the Sun family decided to stay in the northern border.

Sun Yat-sen is now in school and is able to support his parents, wife and children. The Sun family is very content.

Moreover, Sun Yat-sen was somewhat intelligent. He knew that the King of Northern Frontier was about to succeed to the throne, and that Northern Frontier was his former fiefdom.

The army was strong, the crops were plentiful, the official schools were flourishing, and asphalt roads crisscrossed the northern border...

Northern Xinjiang is no longer that remote and barren place!

Their family has no roots and can live well here, and they don't have to be a burden to their benefactor's family.

Besides, the imperial examination would be held in the future, and Sun Yat-sen also wanted to test the heights of the imperial court to see if he could climb to that position...

Zhou Lingling then broke the contract with Old Man Sun.

After some arrangements, the Zhou family began to pack up their things vigorously.

Chen was busy running around, muttering:

"It's only been half a year and our family has to move again. The sound of moving to the capital city is so impressive that it makes people feel daunted."

Zhou Laoer nodded in agreement.

He had just opened up ten acres of land in the suburbs, and this year he harvested tens of thousands of kilograms of corn.

Before we had time to celebrate, the family had to move again.

Zhou Lingling walked out of her own yard and saw her parents walking around the house, asking the maid to tidy up this and that.

In addition to clothes and bedding, he even wanted to take away the tea set and table.

Zhou Lingling held her forehead helplessly.

"Dad, Mom, we only need to take some useful things. You can leave these tables, chairs, benches, etc."

"This house still belongs to us. If we have the chance in the future, we can still come back."

The things in her own yard and the clothes in the house were packed by Meixiang and two other maids.

Most of the other things in the houses were packed up and put into the space, leaving only some that were easy to transport.

As for the fruits and vegetables, eat those that are edible in the next two days, and give away those that are not edible.

They can't carry so much stuff.

According to news from the capital, the succession ceremony is still more than a month away.

They had to hurry and hurry to catch up, so they couldn't delay on the road.

After much persuasion, Chen finally let people put down some of the items with a painful look on her face and only took those that could be used.

Three days later,

A group of people set out from Anbei City in a mighty procession.
