Chapter 202: Decision

Since returning from the palace that day, Lin Fan has stayed at home to recuperate from his injuries. He doesn't have to worry about all the affairs of the family, all of them are handled by Lin Qingyang and them, and the people in the house don't dare to take some trivial things to affect his rest.

The officers and men in the army also knew that Lin Fan was injured, except for the occasional person who came to visit, they spontaneously did not come to disturb him at the rest of the time, and the soldiers in the battalion were handed over to Deng Wentong and them for the time being. Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang used to be the commanders of the first battalion, and they were also very handy in dealing with these, although there are many things in the camp now, they can preside over military affairs Lin Fan is quite relieved.

After a period of recuperation, Lin Fan's injuries finally improved, his physical strength recovered a lot, and he no longer needed help from others to get up and walk.

If you don't look closely, he walks and sits in the bedroom no different from ordinary people, but his face still looks a little weaker than ordinary people, and he looks a little sick and weak.

With the recovery of his body, Lin Fan no longer confined himself to a room, and would come out every day when the sun was at its best to move his muscles and bones.

Of course, his injuries are not yet complete, and actions that may open the wound such as running and jumping still can't be done, and under the strict defense of the Gu family, his range of activities can only be in the mansion, and he must not go out of the gate of the Lin family.

For the imperial court, the end of each year is often the busiest time for the affairs of the various ministries of the imperial court, not only to summarize the various matters of the previous year, but also to make plans for the next year's government affairs.

How could it be that the situation has been turbulent in recent years, and recently there has been a case of the Manzhen army entering the pass to besiege the Jingshi, which caused Long Yan to be angry.

As a result, officials at all levels in the DPRK and China have even more difficulty in living in peace this year, and even many idle yamen have pretended to be busy at this time.

At this time, if His Majesty finds out that everyone else is busy, he will have nothing to do, and it will be strange if His Majesty does not clean himself up.

If you want to say that it is the busiest at this time, it must be the cabinet. The Cabinet coordinates the major affairs of the world, and the affairs of the states and counties in the world, regardless of the military and political affairs, will eventually converge to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet will discuss and decide.

Compared with other members of the cabinet, Lin Ruxian is better, after all, he has only been in the cabinet for a short time, and he is not familiar with many affairs and cannot interfere.

But he can't be idle, because now he is also the official of the household department, and now it is the time for the year-end inventory, so he is also busy during this period of time, going out early and returning late all day, even Lin Fan is rare to be able to say a few words to him.

But after all, it is a father and son, even if Lin Ruxian is busy with official business until late, after returning home, he still does not forget to drag his tired body to care about Lin Fan's injury.

Fortunately, Lin Fan is not a Beijing official, although his reputation is very great after this war, in fact, his status in the officialdom is not very high, there are countless officials and nobles in Beijing, and he is not conspicuous among them, so not many people pay attention to him at this time.

As an external official, His Majesty specially ordered that when he was in Beijing, he only had to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and did not have to go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to order something, so compared to Lin Ruxian, who could not rest for a moment, Lin Fan seemed much more leisurely.

And this kind of leisure is obviously very good for recuperation, but although Lin Fan's injury is gradually recovering, Lin Fan still has to eat the pain of changing the medicine every two days.

Every time he changed the dressing, Lin Fan was almost tossed to death. Lin Fan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he thinks that his will is quite tenacious, but when he changed the dressing a few times, his eyes were still black, and he almost fainted in pain.

When Deng Wentong arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Fan had just finished changing the medicine.

I changed out my underwear that was wet with sweat due to pain when I changed the dressing, and I used hair

Wipe off sweat stains from your body.

After cleaning up, Lin Fan changed into clothes again, and then came to the living room to see Deng Wentong.

Deng Wentong recounted the events in the camp as it was, but he stopped talking, and sat there quietly waiting for Lin Fan's next instructions.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Fan felt that this was indeed a big problem, and today Deng Wentong and they dealt with it in a timely manner, and there was no chaos. But it's lucky that nothing happened, if something like this happened today, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause new things in the future, and it may not be possible to deal with it every time.

Thinking of such a major event as the soldiers in the battalion almost causing a mutiny in the whole battalion, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel afraid for a while.

This is the land of Gyeonggi, not Shenzhou's own station, as long as things don't make too much trouble in the station, Lin Fan always has a way to cover it up. But the Son of Heaven has his own laws under his feet, and often the slightest disturbance can kill people, let alone such a major event as mutiny.

If this kind of thing happens, I don't know how many people's heads will fall to the ground, and as the chief general of Huainan Province and the commander of the first army, he will definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

Even if everyone knows that they are recuperating from their injuries and they are not in the camp at the time of the incident, they are also inevitably punished, and it is estimated that it is good to be able to leave a life, and my father, who has just entered the cabinet, is afraid that he will also leave his post and leave the court because of this.

As soon as this incident came out, Lin Fan didn't dare to leave these people here anyway, after all, now the generals and soldiers in the army are already dissatisfied with the imperial court, and the longer they stay here, the greater the possibility of accidents. And leaving Jingshi at this time, not having to stay here all the time, may be able to eliminate the resentment of some brothers.

He said to Deng Wentong: "The brothers are from Huainan, and they are very unaccustomed to the cold in the north, and I heard that many brothers have fallen ill!" ”

"And now it's the lunar month, less than a month before the Chinese New Year, I think many brothers are homesick and anxious to go home to reunite with their relatives, so the withdrawal of troops can not be delayed any longer."

"In this way, after you return to the camp, you will prepare for the southward journey with Zeng Liang, and I will write to the imperial court in a while, asking the military department to let us return south!"

Deng Wentong didn't dare to stay here any longer, he would be relieved if he could go back one day earlier, and he was worried here every day, for fear that there would be one more charge on his body that day that would be enough for the whole family to ask for and kill, which would be really scary and scared to death.

It's just that he was still worried about Lin Fan's body, and he didn't know if the injuries on Lin Fan's body could withstand the long journey, in case the wounds worsened, it would be difficult to handle.

"Do you want to go back with us, and the injuries on your body?"

Lin Fan was also thinking about this problem, he replied: "I may not be able to go back with everyone this time, one is that I have an injury, the doctor said that I need to recuperate for some time before I can travel, and I can't ride a horse, I must take a car to reduce bumps and fatigue on the journey, otherwise the wound is very likely to worsen." ”

"Also, my parents and I haven't seen each other for nearly two years, and I still want to spend more time with them this reunion, otherwise I don't know when we will meet next time, and my parents don't worry about me traveling away with injuries."

"Therefore, if I can't go with you, I hope my brothers will understand!"

Deng Wentong was not surprised by this: "Wherever the adults say, the adults are already injured, and it is not appropriate to travel far, and it is common sense for parents to be filial piety in front of the hall." Although the brothers have not been following the adults for a long time, they are all reasonable people, and they have great respect for the adults, so how can they blame? ”

"That's it!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

Since Lin Fan has decided to go south, Deng Wentong has a score in his heart: "My lord, time is urgent, I won't bother in the house, so I will go back to the camp to discuss with Zeng Liang about returning to the south!" ”

Lin Fan thought for a while, and said: "It's okay, we are all our own brothers, so I won't be polite with you, it's best to prepare for this matter in advance, so I won't leave you here to eat." ”

"But I asked my family to prepare some special dim sum in the capital, you can bring them later, go back and share them with the brothers, so that everyone can taste them."

Deng Wentong was embarrassed: "Because of the brothers' affairs, the adults have been troubled a lot, how can I let the adults break the money today!" ”

Lin Fan said with a smile: "It's just some ordinary food, it's not a precious thing, and it doesn't cost much silver in total, so you don't have to make such a fuss." ”

He said with some emotion: "If it weren't for everyone, maybe I would have died on the battlefield a long time ago." It is precisely because of the love of my brothers that I am where I am today. ”

"Everyone has come from the sea of blood in the knife mountain together, and we can't let everyone eat all the hardships, so I'll enjoy the blessings alone, right? These snacks should be regarded as a little thank you gift to my brothers for taking care of them for so long, the gift is not heavy, and the brothers should not be too light! ”

While speaking, Lin Fan sent Deng Wentong outside the door. Deng Wentong looked at the two large carriages full of horses at the door, and his head was bigger.

"My lord, you have too much, so many things, we can't eat them!"

Lin Fan scolded with a smile: "Come less, this is not for you alone." There are so many brothers in the camp that each of them can't share much! ”

"These are all special foods in the capital, which are only available in the capital, and cannot be found in other places. The brothers finally came back to the capital, and I don't know if there will be a chance to come again in the future, so I can't come in vain, even if I can't get promoted and make a fortune, it's good to taste the local food here. ”

"I've tried some dim sum here, and it tastes pretty good, because the brothers can't go into the city, so I've prepared some for everyone. If you don't accept it, your brothers won't be able to eat these delicacies, and then your brothers will complain, don't say that I don't say good things for you! ”

Deng Wentong had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll just pull it away!" ”

Then he said sincerely: "Your Excellency is so sympathetic to the soldiers, I have thanked the soldiers on behalf of the whole army!" ”

Lin Fan also replied with a straight face: "It's me who should thank everyone!" ”

Deng Wentong turned over and bowed his hand to Lin Fan: "Take care, then I'll go back first!" ”

Lin Fan waved goodbye to him: "You are the same, take care of the brothers in the camp, and take care of yourself!" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we'll take care of it. Drive! Deng Wentong grabbed the belly of the horse, led the two carriages of the Lin Mansion, and went back to the camp.

Lin Fan watched Deng Wentong and them leave, and it was not until their figures disappeared into the distant street that he turned around and returned to the mansion.

Lin Fan, who returned to his room, did not delay, asked people to prepare pen and paper, and wrote a book to the military department in a while.

The text was quickly written, and after signing his name, Lin Fan blew on the paper to speed up the drying of the ink.

He put the paper into the envelope that he had prepared a long time ago, and called Li Qingshan over again, asking him to send the letter to the military headquarters on his behalf.

As soon as Li Qingshan left, before Lin Fan could catch his breath, someone knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, there is a guest visiting, asking to see the young master!" ”
