Chapter 338: Expedition

said that Mrs. Cui took Mrs. Cui and got into the carriage in a hurry.

As soon as she got in the car, Mrs. Cui said to Cui Xiaoniang: "Or your father has a vision, how many years has no one in the Zheng family in the early days, our clansmen can't sit still, and many people have told your father to ask you to withdraw the marriage, and then pick a good one in the future, but your father just doesn't agree, and scolds those clansmen for not talking about credibility, saying that a gentleman has no faith and can't stand, who would have thought that Zheng Xiang would have a bright day at that time." ”

If you want to say that Cui Xiaoniang didn't have such a dislike for Zheng Balang earlier, then now that she has heard about that Xie Niangzi, she has accepted the marriage with Zheng Balang in her heart, and when she heard Mrs. Cui say this, she is also honored in her father's vision.

"Mother." Little Lady Cui snuggled up to Mrs. Cui: "You better go back and tell your father about this matter earlier, and ask your father to talk to Grandpa Zheng." ”

"Yes, yes." Mrs. Cui nodded, hugged Mrs. Cui and smiled: "My son, you are still blessed, no, although I offended Mrs. Qi the day before, but now we also use this matter to get in touch with the Qi family, I see that Mrs. Qi likes you very much, otherwise, she would not have told us such an important thing." ”

"I think it's good to be in line with Madame." Cui Xiaoniang rejoiced from the bottom of her heart: "She is good-looking and gentle, and she treats people politely and kindly, in the future, I will also learn from Mrs. Qi." ”

Mrs. Cui nodded Cui Xiaoniang's nose: "You, if you learn Mrs. Qi's shrewdness, your mother won't have to worry about anything." ”

Little lady Cui smirked.

When the carriage returned home, Mrs. Cui immediately got off the car and went to the study to find Master Cui, and told him about the things that he had inquired about at the Qi family, and Master Cui didn't want to have such a good thing.

Earlier, the Zheng family was very promising, he also thought that Zheng Xiang would be able to recover one day, and then Emperor Chengping became the emperor and Emperor Jianyuan ascended the throne, he no longer had any hope, but because the Zheng family was very promising, he did not think about retiring from the Zheng family's relatives, he originally planned to marry the Zheng family, and then rely on the strength of the Cui and Zheng families to protect Zheng Balang, and borrow the connections of the two families to plan for him.

As a result, Emperor Jianyuan actually remembered Fu Zheng Xiang when Qi Jing was the prime minister, and Qi Jing didn't mind at all, at this moment, Master Cui admired Qi Jing's open-mindedness.

Master Cui was overjoyed, praised Mrs. Cui a few words, and hurriedly went to Zheng's house.

Mrs. Cui went back to the room, and the little lady Cui was still there, at this time she calmed down, and when she saw Mrs. Cui, she asked, "Mother, why didn't you ask me to thank Mrs. Qi when I was in the Qi family at that time?" ”

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she lowered her face: "You girl, why are you so heartless, what do you want to thank Mrs. Qi, do you still want to tell people that you are not happy with the marriage of the Zheng family, and you only want to open it after listening to Mrs. Qi's advice?" ”

Seeing the appearance of Cui Xiaoniang, the angry Mrs. Cui almost fell, and she slapped Cui Xiaoniang on the body: "Silly girl, what is the relationship between you and Mrs. Qi?" You have to talk about such private things with others, and you are not afraid of leaking it out and angering the Zheng family, even if you marry it, you will not have a good life. ”

"Won't it?" Cui Xiaoniang still didn't believe it: "I don't think Mrs. Qi is that kind of person." ”

Mrs. Cui pointed at Mrs. Cui: "Mrs. Qi is not like that with the tiger, but there are many girls in the house, can you guarantee that your mouth is tight and you won't tell others?" ”

The little lady Cui said no more, and Mrs. Cui persuaded: "My son, let's have a few more eyes in the future, if you can say a lot of things, don't say it, this disaster is not false at all." ”

"Yes." Little Lady Cui finally knew that she was scared, and hurriedly assured Mrs. Cui: "I'll just listen more and talk less in the future." ”

Mrs. Cui nodded, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

Not to mention how the Cui family is, just say that Yun Yao asked someone to go to the door of Zheng's house to guard quietly, and after a while, I saw Master Cui hurriedly enter the gate of the Zheng family, and waited for more than an hour before Master Cui came out, and after coming out, his face was full of smiles, and he looked extremely high-spirited.

When the Qi family's family saw the smile on Master Cui's face, he kept it in his heart, and after Master Cui left, he hurriedly went back to report to Yun Yao.

Yun Yao couldn't hide the smile on his face when he heard that Master Cui came out of the Zheng family, and she knew it in her heart.

When Qi Jing came back from the yamen, Yun Yao directly told him about it, Qi Jing didn't expect that it would take only one day, Yun Yao solved all the difficult things, and was happy for a while, hugged Yun Yao and walked around the house several times, and made a lot of promises, promising that if Zheng Xiang recovered, he would have a lot of free time, and then take Yun Yao and the children out to play, and then live in Zhuangzi for a while.

This is a good thing to say, but Yun Yao didn't believe it, but she didn't raise any objections, and still nodded happily in agreement.

After a few days, sure enough, Emperor Jianyuan issued an order to restore Zheng Xiang, many officials in Chang'an were overjoyed when they heard the news, and many people ran to Zheng's house to hand over a note to ask to see, but the Zheng family closed its doors and closed its door, and no one saw it.

Many officials who were sorry for the Zheng family at the time of Zheng Xiangzhi regretted not being at the beginning, and were extremely afraid that Zheng Xiang would come to power and retaliate against them.

However, Zheng Xiang is an old man in the end, and he is also extremely open-minded, and he did not retaliate against anyone after he recovered.

Although Zheng Xiang is old, but his heart is not old, he has been recuperating at home for so many years, once he re-entered the court, ambitious, and Qi Jing also cooperated very well.

Qi Jing originally said that when Zheng Xiang came to power, he would be able to relax, but he didn't expect Zheng Xiang to come up, he was busier than in the past, and the original promise to Yun Yao could not be realized, he felt that he couldn't live with Yun Yao, and he couldn't live with the children, but he cherished his family and country in the end, and he couldn't leave that mess of affairs to have fun with Yun Yao, and he could only bury his guilt in his heart, thinking about waiting, and when everything was stable, he also had time to accompany Yun Yao.

Yun Yao understood Qi Jing's mood, so instead of blaming Qi Jing, she tried to comfort him and care about him, which made Qi Jing feel even more ashamed of Yun Yao.

In the early autumn of this year, under the guidance of Yun Yao, the Ministry of Industry found many craftsmen, and finally made dozens of flying machines and several large boxes of bombs.

In addition, for example, siege equipment, such as ladders, giant bows, trebuchets, etc., Yun Yao has been redesigned, and the performance is much better than the original.

Emperor Jianyuan personally led his troops to exercise on the outskirts of the city, and after testing the power of the new weapon, his confidence was greatly increased.

In the autumn of this year, the harvest was reported in various places, and it was a year of good weather and good grain, Emperor Jianyuan saw that the time was ripe, and immediately sent troops to send generals to recover Yanzhou, and attack Yunzhou City, in order to repay the hatred of Chang'an and the insult of his sister being killed.

For this day, Emperor Jianyuan personally issued an edict to apologize to the Xie family in Yuezhou, compensate the Xie family for Emperor Chengping, and sent an urgent document of 800 miles to summon Xie Dingguo's family back to Chang'an.

Originally, the Xie family had stayed in Yuezhou for a long time, and they had settled down, thinking that it was good here, Mrs. Xie wanted to retire in Yuezhou, and Qi Tongsuo also wanted to ask someone to take eight catties to Yuezhou for a family reunion, but he didn't want Emperor Jianyuan to call them back to Chang'an.

Mrs. Xie was heartbroken and didn't want to come back.

Xie Dingguo was also a little unhappy, Qi Tongsuo had never had an idea, everything was up to the old lady and Xie Dingguo, seeing that these two people were unwilling to go back to Chang'an, she was unwilling to leave.

It's just that Emperor Jianyuan issued several orders, and many documents were sent, and the last letter, Emperor Jianyuan mentioned General Xie, only said that General Xie died in Yanzhou and was buried in Yanzhou, and later Yanzhou was ceded to Beiliang, so that General Xie could not sleep peacefully, and he intended to return Yanzhou, although there were many generals who could lead troops in the court, but Emperor Jianyuan still wanted to ask the Xie family to come forward, just because the Xie family had the deepest feelings for Yanzhou.

There are many emotional aspects of this document, and Mrs. Xie is in tears when she reads it.

The old lady sighed after reading the paperwork: "That's it, our Xie family has always been loyal and patriotic, although although the emperor is a little unauthentic, we can be regarded as wronged, but now His Majesty is still clear and fair, and has been thinking about our Xie family, how can we ignore it, our Xie family is born in the Great Zhou, and death is the soul of the Great Zhou, no matter what, we must be loyal to the Great Zhou." ”

Xie Dingguo was also a little moved, and when he saw this, he said loudly: "The child will go and prepare, and we will immediately move back to Chang'an." ”

Old Madam Xie waved her hand: "Your Majesty's edict is urgent, you can't take me fast, you go first, and I will slowly follow behind." ”

Xie Dingguo thought for a long time, thinking that there were loyal subordinates at home to protect him, and there were still many attendants there, and the old lady couldn't stand the grievances, so she nodded and agreed.

Immediately, Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo took a boat to the north, abandoned the boat in Suzhou and landed on the shore, changed to a fast horse and galloped overnight, and returned to Chang'an in a total of ten days.

When they came back, Yun Yao had already repaired and taken care of the Xie family's old house, and the family was also fully prepared, that is, the rice, flour, grain, and various vegetables and fruits in the kitchen were all ready.

As soon as Xie Dingguo and Qi Tongsuo returned home, they ate hard, took a shower and fell asleep, and slept for a day and a night to relieve their fatigue.

On the second day, Xie Dingguo packed up and went to see Emperor Jianyuan, Emperor Jianyuan and Xie Dingguo discussed privately for more than an hour, and when Xie Dingguo returned home, he immediately opened the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, and opened the armory, and took out the big sword and bow made by General Xie earlier, and the armor on his body was also handed down by the ancestors of the Xie family.

In addition, he also put out the weapons of Mrs. Xie earlier and gave Qi Tongsuo, which means that this time the army will go to the battle, and he will also take Qi Tongsuo with him.

Due to the urgency of the matter, Qi Tongsuo only had time to go back to Qi's house to meet his parents and relatives, and he hurriedly followed the army before he could say a lot.

In order to win by surprise, not to let the Northern Liang find out, most of the army has already been waiting on the edge of Jinzhou, Xie Dingguo, Qi Tongsuo and Yu Long, these generals will repair the army in Jinzhou in one day, ready to go.

Jinzhou and Yanzhou are close to each other, when the army has approached the city of Yanzhou, the defenders of Yanzhou only found that they have been surrounded, but the guard is an incompetent person, he was able to defend Yanzhou by patting his ass and sending his sisters to his boss, he originally thought that the Great Zhou was weak, and he would not dare to offend Beiliang, this Yanzhou is a rich place, and he is very comfortable as an official here.

But I don't want the Great Zhou to be as weak as before because of Emperor Jianyuan, and the Great Zhou to the king and the people are holding their breath to take revenge, this Yanzhou is naturally the first place to attack.

The guard was frightened, and he asked the deputy general to lead the troops out of the city to drive away the Great Zhou army, but as a result, the deputy general opened the city gate and led a team of men and horses to run out to provoke, without scolding a few words, he called the anxious Qi Tongsuo to shoot an arrow to death.
