Chapter 258: Divine Decree

After Gong Youdao left, Jin Duo issued three holy decrees in a row with the momentum of thunder, the first holy decree was to reward the fallen soldiers in the war with silver taels and exempt their families from 30 years of land rent to appease. The second holy decree held the Ministry of Rites and Rites Shangshu Xie Lingjun improperly taught his son, pretending to be a general, resulting in the tragic death of 20,000 horses and horses, endangering the safety of the emperor, and deposing Xie Lingjun from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and detaining him in Dali Temple, and conducting an inventory of his family property, and finding that it was inappropriate, and punishing him for several crimes.

This last decree is the most intriguing, first affirming King Jian's meritorious rescue and deep brotherhood, and then reprimanding him for being too selfish and seeking military merits for his brother-in-law, which led to the tragic death of the soldiers. The merits and demerits offset each other, and King Jian was ordered to recuperate. In addition, the reward of fifty taels of silver for the soldier's family was issued by Jin Rong.

Gong Youdao looked at the eunuchs and related officials who followed him back to King Jian's mansion to announce the decree, and knew that this would make King Jian angry, but he had done his best, and it was a blessing to start a war with Jin Duo compared to tearing his face now. It's just that Gong Youdao didn't expect that the crown prince Jin Shuichen would be so ruthless, and he would lose one of their ceremonial books at once. It doesn't matter if Xie Lingjun falls, what matters is who takes his place, and he must not implicate Master Cui Qiguang Cui.

Thinking of this, Gong Youdao did not go to see Jin Rong with the eunuch who announced the decree, but went back to his courtyard directly, wrote down the cause and effect of the matter in a letter, and directly flew the pigeon to Cui Qiguang, making sure that he could prepare as soon as possible.

At night, Jin Shuichen's big tent was brightly lit, Jin Shuichen didn't sleep well these days, and he didn't want Jin Duo to work hard because he didn't want to do so much, so he could only take care of it himself. At this time, the little eunuch Xiao Xizi walked in and put on a coat for Jin Shuichen, this field does not need to be in the palace, although there is also a big tent, but the October day is really cold.

"Your Highness, the secret guard is back, waiting outside."

waited until Jin Shuichen was dressed before Xiao Xizi reported. Jin Shuichen listened to the tip of the pen for a moment, and then said, "Let him come in." ”

Not long after Xiao Xizi went out, a sturdy man in black knelt down to greet Jin Shuichen, who was one of Jin Shuichen's secret guards. It is not Jin Duo's dragon guard, but Jin Shuichen's own secret guard, from his maternal grandfather's family, the He family.

"Did you find anything?" Jin Shuichen asked.

"Returning to the master, according to the master's instructions, the villain waited outside King Jian's mansion. Sure enough, when he saw a carrier pigeon flying out, the villain immediately caught it and asked the master to take a look. ”

The secret guard took out the carrier pigeon as he spoke, the pigeon was frightened and fluttered, and the dark guard carefully untied the small bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and handed it to Jin Shuichen.

Jin Shuichen took it and looked at it carefully, a light flashed in his eyes, sure enough, this person was Cui Qiguang's person, no wonder there was always a trace of contempt in his eyes whenever Jin Ronglai was mentioned. I think it's arrogant and arrogant, and I can't look down on the stupid and dull master. Jin Shuichen put the small note on the candle flame and lit it, and it burned clean after a while.

"You go down, let the people below take turns to guard outside King Jian's mansion, such carrier pigeons must not be let go."

Listening to Jin Shuichen's words, the man in black bowed down and retreated, they were trained by the He family and sent them, in their eyes, there was only one master in the world, and that was Jin Shuichen.

Originally, before Jin Shuichen became an adult, Jin Duo wanted to send two Long Wei. But Jin Shuichen refused because it violated the ancestral system, in fact, what Jin Shuichen really cared about was that Long Wei was only loyal to the emperor. With Long Wei by his side, everything is inconvenient, and even the father and son may have suspicion for no reason, so they don't want to use it. only let the He family find good training, and finally became the current batch of secret guards.

"Your Highness, Princess Yelu has run out of ointment. Your Highness is not sending some tomorrow. Kiko reminded with a smile.

Jin Shuichen thought of these and put down the pen in his hand, and thought of the eyes of Yelu Min looking at him, the corners of his mouth rose, yes, it was time to send some ointment, and he deliberately dislocated her hand, isn't it just for this? Thinking of this, Jin Shuichen's heart was a little irritable.

……

When Fang Yage heard the news, he was deeply shocked that this King Jian had suddenly changed from a thief to a meritorious man who rescued the driver, thinking that there were many things that he didn't know. Fang Yage sighed, he originally felt that it was not so easy to move to King Jian, but when this was really the case, Fang Yage was inevitably a little discouraged.

"What's wrong with the county lord, I've sighed countless times this morning."

Bai Zhi brought a cup of brewed tea to Fang Yage, he had just experienced life and death, and it should be the time to be happy at this moment, the appearance of the county lord was really worrying.

"It's nothing, I just feel sorry."

Fang Yage didn't say what it was a pity, and Bai Zhi didn't ask, but what really drove her crazy in Fang Yage's heart was frustration, obviously planning everything, or letting Jin Rong slip away from it, time was running out.

"County Lord, the bruises on your back have subsided a lot, it seems that this Ye Gongzi's healing effect has taken effect."

Bai Zhi lifted the shirt on Fang Yage's back and looked at it, the bruises on it were reduced a lot, and her heart also settled down, Fang Yahuan was also busy watching after hearing it, and seeing that this was really the case, she was relieved.

After experiencing the eve of the past, Fang Yahuan seemed to have grown up in an instant, no longer as cowardly as before, and did not hide her emotions in everything, but was much bolder.

As a few people were talking, they heard cheers coming in from outside, only to hear someone shouting, General Fang is back, and our men and horses are back. If it had been placed in the past, the return of the soldiers might not have caused such a big disturbance, but after experiencing the riot themselves, the ministers and nobles who were usually invincible had a sense of admiration for these soldiers at the bottom of society. It is these people who fight on the battlefield to have their comfortable life.

Unintentionally, but unconsciously changed something, I saw people walking out of each camp, they either watched quietly, or greeted each other with a smile, which made these soldiers feel a little inexplicable.

"Father!"

Before Fang Zhengyun got off the horse, he saw two figures running towards him, and if he looked closely, it was his daughters, Fang Zhengyun quickly tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted.

"How did you guys get out?"

Fang Zhengyun didn't expect his daughter to come out to greet him, he had already heard about the sneak attack of the soldiers in the Western Desert, and because of this, he hurried back, fortunately, the two daughters were intact.

"Naturally, I came to greet my father, and my father went out to fight for the country and his daughter didn't dare to stop him, but he just wanted to see if his father was okay and his daughters could rest assured."

Fang Yage said playfully, in fact, knowing that there should be no problem with those 10,000 horses against 30,000 horses, Fang Yage still couldn't help but worry, it was his father after all.

"Isn't it good for me, I've seen it, my father is going to see the emperor to restore his life, you go back first, it's cold, and I don't know how to put on a dress when I come out."

At this moment, Fang Zhengyun is not a general who kills and is resolute on the battlefield, but a simple father who cares about whether his daughter's clothes are thin, and everyone who sees it is warm.

"My sister is so worried about her father, how can she remember to add clothes."

Fang Yahuan was also very happy to see her father safe and sound from the side, she liked the feeling now, just like a coquettish child, with a father who doted on her, and an eldest sister who loved her.

"Go back, don't freeze."

Fang Zhengyun patted the shoulders of his two daughters, and after speaking, he turned over and went to return to Jin Duo. Fang Yahuan's eyes involuntarily followed the soldiers, always looking for the tall figure, and he didn't know if he was injured. (To be continued.) )
