Chapter 776: Return
Qingyue is ironing clothes for the prince, even if it is a lining, Qingyue has to bake it on the edge of the brazier, and after confirming that it is 100% dry, she will slowly fold the clothes one by one.
Mingyue and Yiyue on the side were cleaning up the things in the study for the prince, and the three of them were gossiping. Because the Huns had mixed into the city before, the prince was busier these days and rarely returned to the Hou Mansion in the city.
And the vigilance in the city has also been strengthened, and now the people who can appear on the streets are basically the young and strong laborers of each family, and no women, children and young women dare to go out, for fear of encountering the Huns again to grab food and women.
And how Mo Shizi cleaned up the passage of those Huns that day also made those girls who got out of trouble talk among the people.
Before, everyone knew the reputation of the Mo family's army, and they also knew that the Mo family was like a god and was brave and invincible. But this time, Mo Shizi was able to easily save the hostages, and he also helped everyone get back the food, which made the people admire the Mo family army even more.
The generals guarding the city outside the city gate were all replaced by those in the Mo family army who had dealt with the Huns, so it was easier to recognize the Huns. The people in the city also spontaneously organized a civil defense team and began to patrol the city in three shifts.
General Lin is now following Mo Shizi on an errand, but unfortunately it is still some dispensable errands, but General Lin also understands that even if he forcibly mixes in, those soldiers may not necessarily accept him. It's better to take your time and enter the Mo family army step by step. And now General Lin's first task is to monitor the Mo family's army, the emperor is on guard against the Mo family's army, and since General Lin has received the emperor's favor, he naturally has to return it with loyalty.
Mo Li was busy running around the barracks every day, and the Huns appeared in the city before, which had already made the people in the city panic.
And in order to appease the people in the city, and also to deter those Huns who still wanted to enter the city to grab food, Mo Li hung those Huns directly on the city tower, just to let other Huns see what happened to them when they entered the city to grab food.
When the people saw the Huns hanging on the city tower, they were not only not afraid, but their hearts were steady. And those Xiongnu talents let them hang on the city tower, facing the wind and snow, it is estimated that the possibility of surviving is not great.
Within a few days, several died, and the remaining few were estimated to have only one breath. On such a cold day, if you don't eat or drink in the snow, it's no wonder you can live?
But even if he died, the people would not let the corpse go down, and insisted on hanging it on the city tower. Fortunately, the weather in the border city is cold, and this corpse does not have to worry about stinky for a month. Mo Li said to the soldiers guarding the city that the people let them hang up, which is just a way for the people to find peace of mind.
The colder the weather, the more dangerous the border city is, even if the Hun king signed an armistice agreement, but it is normal for the Huns to tear up the agreement when they are extremely hungry.
So Mo Li began to let the army train, and he couldn't be unprepared because it was cold, and when the Huns really came, there would be no place to cry.
Qingyue packed up her clothes and finally had to wear them, and the three of them sat together to make winter clothes, and there was no woman in the border city who didn't work.
It's poor here, it's cold here, but the men here feel sorry for women. In winter, men hunt outside, women cook food in the house, and there are no men who raise concubines to go to the Qinglou, so it is good to be able to eat well.
Qingyue has gone from not being used to it before, but now she likes it, and thinks that this place is better than the capital. Maybe you can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, or you may not be able to wear Linluo satin, but you can live freely and comfortably here.
"Qingyue, Mrs. Hou wrote to say that she sent New Year's goods to your family, you shouldn't have to worry about your family!" Yiyue said softly.
Qingyue smiled: "Mrs. Hou is kind, since I came to the border city, I didn't expect to be able to go back in a year or two." Now that I can be valued by the prince, I can be regarded as having completed Mrs. Hou's original entrustment. ”
Mingyue was a little sour, "No, you are a serious woman of the prince, but we haven't touched the side of the prince yet?" ”
Qingyue smiled shyly: "Wait slowly, there will be one eventually." ”
Nangong Ming received the will of the Queen Mother, and had to return to Beijing in a hurry, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will have to get used to returning to her head again.
And Nangong Ming decided to talk to the Empress Dowager after returning to the palace, hoping that the Empress Dowager would try to be better to Hui'er.
In fact, being favored by Hui'er at least made the Duke of Wu decent, which is not a bad thing for the Empress Dowager. It's just that the Queen Mother can't accept Hui'er's identity as her maiden 'niece' because of Hui'er's past.
Concubine Wu heard that the Empress Dowager had issued an order to invite Nangong Ming back to Beijing, and she felt a little disappointed, but didn't she think about it?
How can the emperor not return to the palace and stay in Jiangnan all day long. Even if the body is injured, it has been a month or two, and the emperor has been out for half a year, and the queen mother should indeed urge people.
But thinking of so many women in the palace, and the Empress Dowager who was obviously hostile to her, Concubine Wu felt a headache.
I'm afraid that if I return to the palace, my life will not be so idle. Especially Nangong Ming still wants to make himself the queen, not to mention the ministers, just say that the queen mother is very sad.
Nangong Mingxian's injuries are healed, but many places still have to be handled carefully, and the wounds are not good for a day, so they have to be careful for a day.
This time I went back to the capital by boat, first of all, it would be faster to take the boat, and secondly, the boat did not have to be as bumpy as on the carriage. Nangong Ming can also suffer less crimes, and there are places for activities on the ship, unlike such a small place on the carriage.
Concubine Wu saw that Gonggong Wan was busy with Zhang Luo's subordinates packing up things, and Concubine Wu cleaned up by herself, all of which were Jiangnan specialties rewarded by the emperor. There are all kinds of food and play, maybe not very valuable, but they are all the emperor's wishes.
The affairs of Jiangnan have been dealt with almost completely, and Nangong Ming has directly handed over the matter to the new governor of Jiangnan to deal with. And Xie Long cut off his head at the entrance of the vegetable market as scheduled, and I heard that the people who watched the excitement that day were crowded.
In addition to Xie Long, there were also those who committed strict crimes among the remnants of the Xie clan, and they all beheaded together. And the Xie family, which was once a smash hit in Jiangnan and the capital, was uprooted like this, and no one would mention the Xie family again.
General Jiang was named An Dingbo as he wished, although he was only a third-class uncle, but he was hereditary for three generations, which was already extremely decent for a military general.
Before setting off, Nangong Ming personally summoned An Dingbo, and he wanted An Dingbo to keep an eye on the remnants of the Xie family, although he should have arrested all of them.
However, there are still some felons who are still interrogated in the hands of An Dingbo, and these people must be able to ask more inside stories from their mouths, if they are not in a hurry to return to Beijing, Nangong Ming would like to interrogate these people in person.
Besides, Nangong Ming has already thought about it, and when he returns to the capital, he must let Jin Wuwei inspect the whole country, and it is best not to have a big corrupt official like Wang Min again. R1152
