Chapter 0281 - Family Affair
In the afternoon, the sun has been westward, more than ten fast horses on the official road to the east galloping, immediately the knights are wearing the Great Zhou standard military uniform, the front knight behind the two small triangular red flags, the wind hunting fluttering, the flag on the black group pattern in the word "military newspaper" from time to time hidden.

This is the Zhengzhou Prefecture Ya Si military staff to the military to transmit to Tokyo military intelligence express, this era of the border military information is relayed by the state government station relay forward, non-confidential military information, the expedition camp will not send troops to remote delivery.
"Report ...... "......Soon, Tokyo City Wansheng Gate is in sight, immediately the knight roared loudly, reminding pedestrians and horses on the road to avoid, more than ten horsemen did not reduce their speed, ignoring the guards, like a whirlwind rushed into the city, from Liangmen Street all the way to the Imperial City right door to dismount, find the guard of the guard army to check the waist card, go to the Privy Council. Unless the emperor asks for it, it will not be directly handed into the palace.
A small state army post guard could not enter the main gate of the Privy Council, so the small official in the front hall signed the military report and sent it away, and the general of the small official reported it to the hands of his chief official Privy Counsellor, and then forwarded it to the desk of the Privy Envoy Wei Renpu.
The military newspaper was in a small red lacquer wooden box sealed with dripping wax, but Wei Renpu was not in a hurry to read the military newspaper, but first took the military newspaper and put it down after confirming that it was correct, and then picked up a paper-cutting knife to cut open the seal and open the wooden box, which contained two or three rolls of thin silk, Wei Renpu quickly read it, and his face was happy.
"Go and prepare, I'm going to go to the palace." Wei Renpu was forty-four years old at the time, with a majestic figure, a slightly chubby body, a fair complexion, and a light beard on his upper lip and lower chin.
After going to the temporary rest room behind the public house to change into a robe and straighten out his appearance, Wei Renpu walked out slowly, picked up the small wooden box on the table and clamped it under his armpit, walked out of the Privy Council quickly, and entered the palace from the Xuanyou Gate to ask for a meeting.
Even if he is a privy envoy, he can't see the emperor at any time, so he has to send a soldier of the forbidden army in to report to the inner attendant, and then the inner attendant comes out and brings it in. Wei Renpu led the way to the study of the apse of the Jinxiang Palace, where Emperor Guo Rong was dressed in a purple robe and a golden crown with his hair tied up, and was sitting behind the imperial case and waiting.
"Wei Aiqing doesn't have to be formal, sit down!" When Guo Rong saw Wei Renpu coming in, he immediately sat up straight, smiled and waved his hand.
"The Western Expedition is a good news! Your Majesty, please! Wei Renpu bowed and handed it over with both hands.
An old chamberlain moved a round couch forward, took the wooden box from Wei Renpu's hand and handed it to Guo Rong's case, bowed and retreated. Guo Rong picked up the military newspaper and read it quickly, nodded and smiled: "Very good!" I don't want Wang Baogong and Zhang Yue to march so fast, break through Bazhai in six days, and then break the mighty city, and the soldiers will come to Fengzhou City, so ...... The strategic task of the first stage has been successfully accomplished, and the situation is gratifying! It's just this word of asking for more troops, what does Wei Envoy Jun think? ā
"Wang Baogong and Zhang Yue marched too fast, the grain road is getting longer and longer, the grain and grass transfer is very inconvenient, and the reinforcements in Shu have set off from Chengdu, and the Shu lord takes Li Tingqi as the commander of the camp on the north road, which has great power, and can transport the military strength along the border in northern Shu. Seeing that the day of the decisive battle is approaching, it is too late to replenish troops from other places, so they can only be nearby, otherwise the victory or defeat is not yet known! Wei Renpu smiled.
"The Fengxiang Army is almost fully dispatched, and the Yongxing Army may be able to support some troops, in the opinion of Wei Envoy, how many troops should be increased?" Guo Rong used the words in the military newspaper to deduce it, and the situation was indeed as Wei Renpu said, and the remaining troops on the back road of the Western Expedition camp were all used by the Fengxiang Army to transport grain, which made the transfer of grain and grass slower.
"To defeat Fengzhou and Huizhou, we must retain at least 5,000 troops, so that we can have the spare strength to march into Xingyuan Mansion, so that we need to increase the number of troops by 10,000 to take over the city defense of the back road, so that Wang Baogong and Zhang Yue have no worries."
"Hmm...... The early stage of the war went well, Fan Xianggong should have no objections, so be it! An edict will be issued this afternoon, and the sooner the better! Guo Rong said happily.
"The minister retired, and went down to discuss with several ministers in the middle book, and prepared the edict as soon as possible." Wei Renpu got up and retired, and in order to let Liu Ci of the Yongxing Army draw out troops, he needed to draft an edict in a Chinese book, and the emperor added a treasure seal to make a book, and at the same time, the Privy Council also had to issue a military order, so as to complete a series of procedures for the transfer of troops.
Wei Renpu withdrew from the study, and Guo Rong took out a few letters sent back by Zan Juyun before and checked them, integrating Zhang Jianxiong's department on the west road, the training department on the east road, and the defense envoy Bing Shaohui on the southeast Jinzhou, so that the general military situation on the front line would be clear.
Li Tingqi led 20,000 forbidden troops are still on the way, and Han Jixun of Qinzhou is contained, so Han Baozheng of Xingyuan Mansion and Pang Fucheng of Wuding should make a move, I hope Wang Jing and Zhang Yue can be stable! However, they went smoothly in the early stage, and there was a lot less resistance from the DPRK and China.
"Someone! Go to the Zide Hall to inform the queen of the decree, praise Xiang Xun and Zhang Yue's wife, and add a second class. Guo Rong was in a good mood and asked the chamberlain to pass the word.
"The old slave obeys!" The old chamberlain immediately retreated, summoned a small yellow door to give an order, and turned back. Xiao Huangmen took the order and did not dare to slack off, and trotted to the Zide Palace.
Half an hour later, the two Zhengliupin Neidian Yin, each with several entourages, went to Xiang Xun and Zhang Yue's house respectively with the queen's decree, and went separately halfway. The inner dianyin who went to Zhangfu was relatively young, about 20 years old, wearing a round high-topped hat, wearing a green waiter's palace uniform, and took two entourages to the gate of Zhangfu, only to see the courtyard door open, shouted twice, and the gatehouse did not come out.
"What's going on? There wasn't a single figure in sight,......" Neidian muttered, and simply broke in with his entourage. As a result, there was still no one in the front hall, and when I arrived in the atrium, I saw a large group of servants gathered in the middle hall, and they did not hear what was said.
"The Queen's Decree! The fifth class makes people listen to the announcement! No one paid attention to it, and Neidian was unhappy, and shouted at a sharp voice.
At this time, the crowd dispersed in an uproar, and an old housekeeper ran over, seeing that it was someone from the palace, he hurriedly asked Neidian to lead him to the middle hall to sit and wait, and then turned his head and shouted: "Who is that...... Little Lotus Girl! Go and ask people to come out! ā
Xiaohe agreed, hurriedly ran into the backyard, turned to the west side courtyard, and just arrived at the door, I heard the midwife shouting anxiously: "Come out and come out!" Take a breath and exert yourself again...... Hard! ā
Xiaohe's face turned pale, and he stood still, a few days ago on the twelfth, Ping Niangzi gave birth to a girl, that night was a whole night, Mrs. Fu was so anxious, I don't know what to do, the maids in the backyard were also anxious, but they were helpless, and they were born smoothly at dawn.
At this moment, a loud baby cry spread throughout the backyard, and several handmaidens who were busy in the courtyard also exhaled heavily and laughed in surprise. Xiaohe also breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stepped into the courtyard, where several maidservants looked under the steps.
"Yike...... It's a handle! Congratulations! I heard the midwife in the room laugh.
"Someone in the aunt *** has come to announce the queen's will, hurry up and take the will!" Xiaohe finally remembered what he was doing, rushed up the steps quickly, and shouted in the main hall inside.
The door of the back bedroom on the side of the main hall opened a crack, and Fu Jinqiong's figure appeared behind the door and shouted: "You let the housekeeper receive it, just say that the slave is busy!" ā
The doors and windows in the bedroom were closed, Fu Jinqiong invited her mother Li to come over to help, brought a midwife over, and Bian Yu, who was holding her stomach and bloated waist, and other four women were there, and they were busy for nearly half an hour before cutting off the umbilical cord of the newborn baby, putting on clothes, and putting on a hat, only revealing a small face.
Mrs. Li likes children very much, although she is the eldest son, she was not born to her own daughter, she held it in her arms and teased a little reluctant to let go, the little guy actually didn't cry anymore, she bowed down and put it on the bed. Cheng Yachan hurriedly stretched out her hand to take it, and covered it with a quilt, with a sweet smile on her tired face.
"It's time to get out! I need to rest at this time! The midwife laughed.
Bian Yu's face was a little unsightly, he pulled Fu Jinqiong out, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm so scared to see it!" It's scary! ā
Fu Jinqiong's heart was also pounding, very nervous, but she smiled and comforted: "It's okay!" You see, that's not good! In more than a month, it will be your turn, and the one in our family doesn't know if he can rush back, so he will ask your brother to bring him a letter and make him anxious...... Hum! ā
Fu Jinqiong sent Bian Yu to the back hall, went to the bedroom to clean his hands, changed his clothes and came out, it was almost dark, so he rushed to the middle hall, invited the inner code to sit down, and then listened to his reading: "Let Fu's, Roujia Shushun, elegant and pleasant, dignified Shurui, Keling Kerou, An Zhen Yeji, Yonghe Cuichun." He was immediately canonized as a fourth-class master, and was given a set of clothes and ornaments on the woman's head. ā
"Fu Shi Xie Empress Niang gave the seal, and he will enter the palace on a certain day to thank him!" Fu Jinqiong said a blessing in the direction of the palace, and turned to look at the housekeeper. Steward Meng understood, and immediately sent the waiter out, and stuffed the reward by the way.
