Zhao Dan suddenly smiled, and that smile was like sunshine tearing through dark clouds, shining directly on Jing Xiaotian's face, making her face radiant.
Jing Xiaotian suddenly said with emotion: "It has been so many years since I saw your bright and sunny smile, it feels like a lifetime ago."
Zhao Dan took a breath slowly and said: "Actually, I found that position and power cannot bring happiness.
The most beautiful life is those ordinary days."
"I feel the same, that's why I feel nostalgic."
Jing Xiaotian agreed with his idea.
The two people talked and chatted, and unknowingly they were back near the palace.
Zhao Dan said with great reluctance: "Queen Mother, please go back early and think about yourself in everything.
Your Majesty will grow up soon, and you don't have to work so hard."
These words sound high-sounding, but they are actually reminding Jing Xiaotian: Haiye is growing up soon, and he will seize power soon.
You should be prepared in advance.
However, what preparation can Jing Xiaoda do?
Parents are never the opponents of their children.
What she can do is to take the initiative to hand over power, quietly withdraw, and live her life to the fullest.
But being locked in a deep palace all day long, watching the moonrise and sunset, isn’t that just sitting there eating and waiting to die?
Jing Xiaotian didn't want to waste his life like this.
Although they have experienced unprecedented snowstorms and severe cold in decades, the people of Andai Kingdom managed to survive it unknowingly.
Although some cattle, sheep, and horses were lost, due to proper handling, as soon as spring came and the grass sprouted, the remaining strong cattle and sheep immediately regained their vitality.
At the beginning, when the snow was the thickest, Zhao Dan rode a horse and personally went to various grasslands to guide the local people.
He had to deal with the old, weak and sick cattle and sheep earlier, and stored the meat and froze it in the snow to ensure human nutrition. .
The fat cattle and sheep were left behind and fed with the limited fodder to ensure that they could survive the winter.
Now it seems that this method is really good Compared with the disaster-stricken people in Andai Kingdom, the lives of those who suffered from the snow disaster in Xiyue Kingdom were a bit miserable at this time.
Due to insufficient reserves and no one to rescue them, many people lost their fingers, toes or ears due to freezing, and some froze to death in the ice and snow.
The cattle and sheep became emaciated due to lack of fodder and starved to death when the spring breeze came.
After the snow melts, these hungry people, who have long been without food, often cross the border to Andai Country to grab things in order to survive.
Disturbing the peace at the border These hungry people who had survived the long cold winter never expected that the Andai people, who were also suffering from snow disasters and were not far away, suffered very few casualties.
Moreover, other people's livestock are also alive and well.
When spring comes, they are scattered all over the mountains and plains.
It's nothing like the wilderness of Xiyue Kingdom, where there are stinking carcasses of cattle and sheep everywhere, as well as numerous white bones being peeled off.
The lack of material and the deterioration of the living environment not only made these hungry people feel hungry, but also distorted their minds.
These people actually used the killing of Andai border residents as an outlet to vent their pain and helplessness.
When the imperial court got the news, it immediately sent Hai Jianzhong, the second son of King Rui Hai Tongkuo, who was in charge of the Char tribe at this time, to drive away these refugees and protect the tranquility of the border.
When Hai Jianzhong rushed to the border with his troops, he discovered that the situation here was more serious than imagined.
Xi Yuetian actually sent an army to sweep away all the cattle and sheep in the Char tribe and drove them all to their side.
Hai Jianzhong immediately became angry and cursed: "My defeated general is ready to make a move.
This time I must beat him to his heart."
Speaking of which, Hai Jianzhong was also a bit brave.
He actually led 10,000 troops deep into the Xiyue Kingdom and defeated the Xiyue army who had robbed cattle and sheep.
When King Haiye heard the news, he immediately praised: "If you fight well with the Hai family, how can you be bullied?"
In the court, he immediately decided to start a war: "Immediately send more troops to pursue the victory.
Please prime minister Zhao, prepare food, grass, and military pay.
This time, I will fight a big battle and completely destroy Xiyue.
Once and for all, lift the "Trouble in Northern Xinjiang."
Jing Xiaotian was about to say something to stop him, but when he saw Zhao Dan shaking his head slightly at the side, he said nothing.
Privately, I couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that this kid Hai Ye would be so ambitious.

At such a young age, he would destroy the Xiyue Kingdom."
Zhao Dan was mixed with joy and sorrow, and said: "This son is absolutely extraordinary and will definitely achieve great things.
I'm afraid that we will soon be regarded as an obstacle by him and we will quickly remove him."
After hearing this, Jing Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "The waves behind push the waves ahead, it is inevitable."
Then, he changed the topic and said: "Since he wants to make the decision on his own, I will simply let him go and live in Ziyang territory for a while.
It would be better to think of a way out."
After hearing this, Zhao Dan smiled faintly and said: "I have already seen our future in this time and space.
Here, we have no chance to be happy.
You'd better think about the time and space gate.
By then, you may be able to escape unscathed."
Jing Xiaotian understood what Zhao Dan meant.
Haiye was getting older and more ambitious.
The power struggle between the emperor and the queen mother is about to begin, and the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power is about to begin.
Jing Xiaotian and Zhao Dan will naturally hand over their power, but what Haiye will think and how he will deal with it is beyond their control.
There have been too many tragedies like this in history.
Power is a devil, and few people can be immune to it alone, and Haiye is no exception.
Therefore, she hurriedly expressed her position: "I understand exactly what I mean.
Ziyang Territory is my blessed place.
I always feel that I can slip into dreams only there."
Jing Xiaotian actually had a small idea when she came to Ziyang's territory for a short stay.
She wanted to embarrass Haiye and let him know that the queen mother was still indispensable.
Zhao Dan saw through it, but didn't say anything.
Because he felt that Jing Xiaotian's idea would most likely fail.
Based on his observations and feelings, Haiye was born to be a monarch, capable of governing the country at a young age.
Zhao Dan's guess was indeed correct.
After Jing Xiaotian left the palace and stayed in Ziyang territory for a while, Haiye handled the government affairs on his own and was as comfortable as a fish in water.
Even Zhao Dan admired him for handling state affairs in an orderly manner.
In the past two years, Hai Jianzhong, under Hai Ye's remote control, had actually reached the hinterland of Xiyue Kingdom.
In order to take possession of the land he conquered, Haiye immigrated in large numbers and distributed the newly conquered land to these immigrants.
He also distributed cattle, farm tools, and seeds to them, and announced that the wasteland reclaimed in the stone forest canyon would be No rent will be collected for five years.
Haiye also trained a large number of craftsmen, including coppersmiths, blacksmiths, carpenters, and stonemasons.
Anyone with a skill was encouraged to produce, and the government provided support and subsidies.
Jing Xiaotian was slightly disappointed when he saw that Haiye was managing the country well, but more importantly, he was extremely happy.
She understood that it was time to let go.
She simply focused on thinking about the Gate of Time and Space.
She was still so young and needed to have her own life and excitement.
She couldn't keep her eyes on Haiye forever
