Chapter 534: Good News from Beijing
Huang Qiang said: "Dashuai." The person who came was Han Laiyu, a eunuch who came to Guangzhou when you got married last time, and he came with a group of people on horseback and galloped, very urgent, and the specific things are not known yet. ”
"Han Laiyu!"
Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, and immediately said, "Let's go, let's go out to greet you." ”
For Li Zhen, Han Laiyu's arrival is undoubtedly a big deal. Because what can make Han Laiyu take the initiative to run must be something major in the capital, or the emperor has a will. However, Li Zhen naturally thought of Zhilan who lived in Beijing, because it was already the time for Zhilan to give birth, if something happened......
When Li Zhen thought of this, his heart was a mess. He forced himself to compose, told himself not to panic until he got the news, and stood at the gate of the camp and waited.
It didn't take long for a team of people to gallop quickly.
The person at the head was the great eunuch Han Laiyu, and Han Laiyu looked tired and tired at this time. When he turned over and dismounted, his body shook for a while, and he almost fell to the ground, and he staggered as if he was about to fall at any moment. The soldiers who came with Han Laiyu around him were the same, extremely tired.
Not only that, but everyone's mounts were panting and tired.
When Li Zhen saw this scene, the strings in his heart tightened.
can make Han Laiyu rush day and night, obviously there is a big thing! Li Zhen took the initiative to greet him and said, "Gonggong Han, this time from Beijing to Jiangbei Ying, the journey is tiring and hard, please." ”
Han Laiyu nodded, did not speak, and led the soldiers to follow Li Zhen straight towards the camp.
When he came to the big tent, Li Zhen ordered someone to serve tea.
After Han Laiyu drank two bowls of herbal tea in a row, he let out a long breath of turbid air and said, "Admiral Li, after the miscellaneous family set off from Beijing with the accompanying soldiers, one person with two horses, and hurried day and night. Even when I arrived at the post station, I only barely replenished food and water, and immediately rushed after a short rest, and took a nap halfway when I was tired. This time, I came from Beijing, and I was really tired to death. ”
Li Zhen arched his hand and said: "My father-in-law is working hard, I don't know what happened when my father-in-law came to Jiangbei camp?" ”
Han Laiyu said: "This time, I came to bring you good news." ”
When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that there might be something wrong with Zhilan, but now that he heard Han Laiyu say that it was good news, it was obviously not a bad thing. Li Zhen thought about Xianfeng's reward, but felt that it was impossible, so he guessed that Zhilan might have given birth to a child, and immediately asked, "Father-in-law, did Zhilan give birth to a child?" Is it a boy and a girl, or two sons, or two daughters? ”
Counting the time, it has been more than nine months now. If Zhilan had given birth earlier, it would have been possible to give birth to a child. If it is produced later, it will take some time.
Han Laiyu smiled and shook his head slightly.
Seeing this, Li Zhen asked again: "Father-in-law, could it be that the emperor has a reward?" But Li Zhen felt that it was impossible, because the reward sent by the emperor was not enough for Han Laiyu to hurry so desperately.
Han Laiyu smiled and said, "Okay, the miscellaneous family won't worry about you." At present, Miss Zhilan has not given birth, everything is fine, and the mother and child are safe. The miscellaneous family came to Jiangbei to pass on the decree, and it was the emperor's special grace to allow you to return to Beijing to wait for Miss Zhilan to give birth. However, after the birth of the child, you will immediately return to the camp in Jiangbei and continue to preside over the overall situation. ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he asked solemnly: "Father-in-law Han, you tell the truth, what is going on?" ”
At this time, Li Zhen's heart was full of doubts and some doubts.
Han Laiyu chuckled twice and said, "Please rest assured that Admiral Li is not the emperor who asked you to return to Beijing for you, nor is it to depose your rights." The reason why the emperor can magnanimously let you return to Beijing to wait for Miss Zhilan to give birth is because Concubine Yi spoke well for you in front of the emperor, so that the emperor agreed to let you return to Beijing. ”
Yi Concubine?
Li Zhen blinked his eyes and immediately thought of Cixi.
This woman actually took the initiative to help him.
For a while, Li Zhen didn't think clearly about the curves and curves, and he was a little confused.
Han Laiyu saw that Li Zhen was deep in thought, and explained: "Admiral Li, Concubine Yi is pregnant with the emperor's child in her belly. For the time being, I don't know if it's a princess or a dragon son, if it's a dragon son, the child born by Concubine Yi is the emperor's eldest son, and it is very likely to become the crown prince. At this time, Concubine Yi is just a concubine with no power, just relying on the emperor's favor, and he wants to be supported by the power of the court, so you should be able to understand her purpose for helping you. ”
Li Zhen arched his hand and said, "Father-in-law Han, thank you." ”
Han Laiyu shook off the dust, waved his hand and said: "No need to thank you, if the miscellaneous family has a request in the future, I hope Admiral Li can pull the miscellaneous family." ”
Li Zhen said solemnly: "It is my duty. ”
After a pause, Li Zhen said: "Gonggong Han, time is urgent, I will deal with the things left in the army immediately, and then return to Beijing." ”
Han Laiyu shook his head and said, "Okay, you start to arrange it immediately." I'm sure I can't return with you, though. You can rush back day and night, but I can't stand it. This time I'll go back and slow down a little bit and take a break, otherwise this bone will fall apart. ”
Li Zhen said: "Okay, I'll take someone on the road alone." ”
Li Zhen asked Han Laiyu and his party to arrange a place to rest, and once again gathered all the generals in the army together. Li Zhen sat on top and said, "I just got the news that the emperor allowed me to go to Beijing to wait for Zhilan to give birth, and then return to Jiangbei camp after Zhilan gave birth." I'm definitely going to Beijing, the problem is that at this time, Shi Dakai is leading troops to attack, and someone needs to preside over the overall situation. ”
Smith said: "The marshal is too worried, you recruited us as generals to let us march and fight for you, not without the marshal, the army cannot function." Moreover, there was Brigade Commander Huang in charge of the overall situation, and Commander Yang, Commander Lu, and I led their respective armies. If there is no marshal, the army is scattered, and a few of us can't win Shi Dakai, we really have to reflect. ”
After Li Zhen listened, he nodded seriously. It seems that he takes himself too seriously, or grasps too many things, so that he neglects to cultivate the ability of the generals below to take charge of one side. Li Zhen nodded and said, "In this case, I won't make detailed arrangements." Huang Shihai, you make overall arrangements for the affairs of the army, and if you can't make up your mind, discuss it with the generals in the army. To deal with Shi Dakai, I have only one suggestion, I hope you will be a little more careful, a little more cautious. ”
"Yes!"
Huang Shihai nodded in response, his face full of excitement. After a pause, Huang Shihai said: "Dashuai, when you go to Beijing, do you still bring the sharp knife camp with you this time?" ”
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Now that we are fighting with Shi Da, it is of great use to stay in the Sharp Knife Battalion." I only need to bring the thirteen guards of the dragon group directly under Brother Long, and the rest of the people don't need it. ”
Huang Shihai nodded in response and began to think about dealing with Shi Dakai.
Li Zhen instructed: "Let's all go down, I'll pack my things." ”
After the generals left the camp, Li Zhen began to pack his belongings and prepare to leave for Beijing.
