Chapter 148: Expedition
The red chips that had just been hung up in the palace were also removed by the quiet palace people.
Emperor Liguo seemed to be ten years old for a while, and he sat on the dragon couch and listened to the detailed battle report on the front line!
"How many soldiers are left on the front line of the subject country now?" The pale-faced Emperor Lihuang took the medicine bowl that the prince was about to feed him to drink, and drank it all.
"Seventy thousand!"
After nine months of fighting, only 70,000 of the 250,000 soldiers remained! What a thrilling number!
"Have all the pensions for the fallen soldiers been paid?" took the licorice tea brought by the prince and took a big sip of it, suppressing the bitterness in his mouth!
"It's already been sent! Prime Minister Li Cheng personally supervised it!" took the empty medicine bowl and handed it to the palace people behind him, picked up a handkerchief from the tray and waited to serve his father.
"Have you chosen the generals to be transferred to the subject country?" he handed the empty cup to the prince who was near.
"When encircling and suppressing bandits, there were several capital divisions and garrisons with particularly outstanding abilities. Here's their breakdown!" He handed the handkerchief to the palace man, picked up the folds that had been arranged in another tray and presented them to his father.
"The general who led the troops, after the cabinet discussed it, it was Chai Lan, the governor of Liangjiang, who was tentatively decided!"
"Chai Lan, are you going to use him?" "That's the loyal minister who has guarded the granary of Liguo for their Mo family for generations! If he goes to the front line, who will take care of the granary? That is the lifeblood of their Liguo."
"Anyone else?"
"There is also Mo Su, the chief soldier of Longbei, and the chief soldier of Longxi!"
"Let's be honest!" Although there is no movement on the Lang side for the time being, no one knows if they will take advantage of the situation? After all, they are already coveting the land of fish and rice in the country of Liguo like firewood tigers and leopards!
"No!"
"Brother Huang, how is my father?" Liuli, who had just lost his son and tried his best to comfort the sleeping concubine, rushed to his father's bedroom non-stop!
"Stop!" the prince stepped forward to support the hurried imperial sister and helped her sort out the broken hair on her sideburns. "How are Concubine Shu and Princess Lin?"
"I asked the Imperial Doctor to boil some soothing soup and just fell asleep. Thinking back to the heart-rending grief of the always dignified and gentle Concubine just now! The corners of her eyes couldn't help but be sour!
"Thank you for your hard work! Your imperial sister-in-law, she is too heavy to deal with these now! I'm tired of you taking care of it!"
"What did the imperial brother say? Do our family still need these foreign words?" Liuli, who wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without a trace, was a little choked!
"I don't go out of the palace these days, but I live in the Pearl Palace. If there is anything, you can ask the palace people to inform me!" "Husband, I'm afraid I won't have time to return to the house in the next few days! Why don't they go to the Pearl Hall now, so they can take care of their father and queen mother nearby!"
"How is the second emperor's brother's funeral?"
"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites personally led someone to handle it, and there are Seven Emperor Uncles on the clan's side!"
"Well, I'm relieved to have Uncle Huang here! I'll go and see it later with the return date!"
Since the body was not found, the coffin prepared by the second prince contained the clothes of King Lin.
The entire Linwang Mansion is covered with linen and filial piety, a piece of white, full of chanting sounds.
Mo Mo floated beside Liuli and looked around. I want to see if I can see the soul of King Lin! After the death of a person here, the family will ask the master to summon the spirit. Help him to go to his wish to be reincarnated with peace of mind!
I heard that King Lin and Princess Lin were childhood sweethearts, and the couple were deeply in love. I don't know if he came back to see his family!
"The prince, the emperor, the emperor's son-in-law has arrived!"
"Family greetings, greetings to ......"
With Zhibin's singing, Liuli followed behind the imperial brother and respectfully knelt down to the second imperial brother who sacrificed his life for the country!
The list of generals who will go to the subject country has been decided. Mo Su, the son of King Wu of Longbei, led 80,000 Longbei soldiers and 100,000 recruits who had been trained for less than half a year.
Now wait for Mo Su to lead 80,000 Longbei soldiers from the northernmost side of Liguo to make peace with 100,000 new soldiers, and soon he will attack the front line of the subject country!
This is also the last elite unit in Liguo except for the forbidden army!
The northernmost part of the country is a snow-capped mountain towering into the clouds, and it is also the birthplace of the royal family of the country!
Now it is also the mausoleum of the Mo family! The Mo family from the emperor to the prince, as long as they are not expelled from the family tree for the crime of great rebellion, they will be buried in the snow mountain after death!
Longbei soldiers, to put it bluntly, are the private soldiers of the royal family like the forbidden army. The royal family generally does not transfer them until the last resort. The last time he was transferred was more than 30 years ago, when Emperor Li succeeded to the throne! And the people in charge of the Longbei soldiers must also be the people of the Mo royal family! All of them were brave and good at preaching, and they were both wise and brave and loyal to the emperor.
At this time, Mo Su, who was in charge of the Longbei soldiers, was one of the leaders. The Longbei Army under his control was even more disciplined to the point that several other armies were discouraged.
Mo Su is a bold and upright person. When he was young, he was also a wishful husband in Beijing who wanted to marry the daughters of all families! It's just that he has been in the army for a long time, and as he grows older, he becomes more and more majestic and difficult to get close to!
Mo Mo sat on the beam of the outer hall of the emperor's bedroom and looked at this new general who was dignified and sounded like a bell!
I have been with Emperor Liuli for six or seven years, and most of the people I see are Wenchen who are elegant and gentle. This is the first time I have seen such a majestic, dignified, and heroic young man!
Looking at his face, it should be about the same as Gu Guiji's! I don't know if he can get back to the current disadvantage of Liguo!
"Brother Huang has worked hard all the way! Go to Ciyin Tower. The Queen Mother has prepared a meal for you!" Holding the strong left hand of the general of the country, he stepped on the dragon chariot to the queen mother's bedroom.
It has been ten days since the emperor issued a holy decree appointing Mo Su as the general of the patriotic state to support the front line of the subject country. The convoy carrying grain and grass had already set off a few days earlier. Today, the Queen Mother set up a family banquet in the palace for Mo Su to practice. It also gives Mo Su, who has lived in the north for a long time, and Princess Wu, who misses her son, time to get closer and closer!
"Liuli, what are you looking at?" Gu Guiji, who felt that his wife was a little dazed today, asked with concern!
"No, I just haven't seen Uncle Su Huang for a long time... "She always thinks that today's Uncle Su Huang is weird!" But she can't tell what's weird?
"No, the last time you saw your Uncle Su Huang was Chinese New Year's Eve the year after your wedding. "I also feel that the queen who is not giving up her daughter's soul is playing a round!"
"Yes! Liuli is so dignified and virtuous!" replied loudly to the prince of Wuwang, who was sitting on the left side!
"Uncle Suhuang!" Liuli, who heard the familiar tone, looked at the little cousin who teased her angrily.
"Hehe! Our little Mo'er is shy!" The relaxed and hearty voice is no longer as rigorous as it was just now.
"I remember the first time I saw you when I was a child, you even dared to climb a tree!"
"Uncle Suhuang, you're drunk!" "Oh my God, don't tell her about her childhood!"
"I just had a drink! You forgot that your cousin is not drunk with a thousand glasses!"
