Yue Yang's report saved a little face for Chongzhen, who originally felt that his face was gloomy.

Chongzhen, who was overjoyed, gave Yueyang a series of rewards that did not cost money, and finally Chongzhen also sent Chen Xinjia to patrol the imperial history of Xuanfu, and immediately went to Shanxi to take office, and finally Chongzhen also let Chen Xinjia take away the will of praising Yueyang.

The imperial court was shocked by this, and Lu Xiangsheng, who was the governor of Xuanda, naturally did not know about it.

In late September, Shanxi's new Xuanfu Inspector Chen Xinjia came to Datong Mansion, not only Lu Xiangsheng led Shanxi's political envoys, envoys and generals to greet him in front of the Governor's Mansion, but even Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen also rushed over from Taiyuan Mansion.

It stands to reason that the Xuanfu Governor is only a third-grade official, and Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen are the governors of Xuanda and the other are the governors of Shanxi, so they don't need to greet them in person.

But things in officialdom can't just look at the grade, but also look at what he does.

The patrol time of each place in the Ming Dynasty is generally only one year, and if there is no special permission from the imperial court, it is not allowed to patrol for the second time. Moreover, the patrol according to the imperial history has the function of patrolling the sky on behalf of the sky, correcting the locality, punishing the embezzlement of ink, and also having the function of surveying and reporting the merits.

This position is not simple, simply put, the patrol according to the imperial history is the emperor's eyes and ears and assistants sent to various places, compared to the eunuchs sent by the emperor to various places to guard more official authority, more importantly, Chen Xinjia is also the left squire of the Ministry of War, according to the modern official position, that is, the deputy minister of defense, the most important thing is that Chen Xinjia came to read the edict this time, on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen. Therefore, although Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen's grades are a little higher than Chen Xinjia's, they still have to greet them in person.

Datong Xuanzhen Governor's Palace. Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen sat on the seats on the left and right, while Chen Xinjia and the generals sat under them respectively.

Lu Xiangsheng's hands were long and his eyes were slightly closed, since the invasion of the Tartars, the maxilla of the originally thin face was more obvious, but it was more difficult for others to see the expression on his face. At this time, there were two letters in front of him, which were the report of the victory sent by Yue Yang and the will of Chongzhen. And Chen Xinjia was sitting on his right side, holding a cup of tea and tasting it slowly, he was waiting for Lu Xiangsheng or Xu Dingchen to speak first.

The faces of the generals below are colorful, with all kinds of expressions, envy, jealousy, disdain, surprise, admiration and other expressions can be found on the faces of these people.

In the end, Lu Xiangsheng finally spoke, his slender eyes opened and showed a look of not being angry and arrogant, he turned his head and took the lead in saying to Xu Dingchen: "Lord Xu." This time, Lord Chen was ordered to come to my Xuanda to take up his post and read out the edict, which is really the luck of millions of people and tens of thousands of soldiers in the land of my three Jins. ”

"That's a good thing!" Xu Dingchen nodded, at this time, he was still tired on his face because he was in a hurry for days, and his spirit was not particularly sufficient. He smiled reluctantly and said, "What Lord Lu said is very true, Lord Chen came with a decree, and since Lord Chen spoke on behalf of the Holy Lord, what do you think?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Let Lord Chen speak first!"

None of the generals present are old fritters who have been rolling in the officialdom for many years, and they are all very clear about the rules here. Naturally, they all agreed.

Chen Xinjia couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he saw this, who said that Lu Xiangsheng was a stunned young man in Gyeonggi. That's not necessarily the case.

In fact, Chen Xinjia is biased when he thinks so, no matter how Lu Xiangsheng says it, he is also a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of economy, although his personality is more upright, it does not mean that he will not be a man and do things.

"That's good, this official will finish his business with you first and then talk about personal friendship!"

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, he stood up, took out a book of folds from his sleeve and said loudly: "The generals get up and announce the edict!" ”

"Boom la la ......"

All the generals, including Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen, got up collectively, walked to Chen Xinjia and knelt down and said in unison: "Listen to the holy oracle!" ”

Chen Xinjia read slowly: "Command: The thieves invaded, invaded my border pass, and slaughtered my people, I felt very sad when I thought about it, but the border soldiers were invincible, and I also cried out in vain......

Thinking of this, Chen Xinjia secretly glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, but Lu Xiangsheng felt that his face was hot, and he only felt that this sentence was like a whip slashing on his body, as the governor of Xuanda, he did nothing in the southern invasion of the Houjin army, which made him feel ashamed.

"But I also know that Lu Aiqing has just arrived in Xuanzhen, and there are few soldiers, so I can also understand Aiqing's difficulties. And this time the Tartars retreated, and I hope that Aiqing can rectify military affairs and not let the Tartars commit crimes again. I heard that there is a general named Yueyang in Yingzhou, who is good at Tuntian, and now he has made great contributions, cutting more than 2,000 people, I am very relieved, and I am specially promoted to Yueyang as General Xuanwei, and his wife Hai Lanzhu is ......"

After listening to the holy decree, everyone sat down one after another, Chen Xinjia handed over the edict to Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, the emperor once said before leaving Beijing that after coming to Xuanda this time, he must go to Yingzhou Mansion to see if Wulizhai, the capital of Yingzhou, is really as many miles away as others say, and it is like a land of fish and rice. I wonder if Lord Lu and Lord Xu are in the mood to accompany their subordinates together? ”

Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "You have said so, if we don't go, won't we let people say that we don't take the emperor to heart?" ”

Xu Dingchen nodded and smiled: "If you talk about that Wuli Village, the official has been to it a few times, it has indeed been very well run in the past two years, Lord Chen is not wrong, it can indeed be called the land of fish and rice, the official heard that in a few days there will be an autumn harvest in Wuli Village, if Lord Chen has the nature, you may wish to go to Wuli Village to see, to ensure that you open your eyes!" ”

"Oh...... Really? ”

Chen Xinjia was overjoyed and immediately said; "In that case, why don't we go to Wuli Village together to have a look, what do you adults think?"

"Go to Wulizhai to have a look?" Lu Xiangsheng and Xu Dingchen glanced at each other, the two nodded slowly, and said in unison: "This is a great good!" Just go with you! ”

Just when many people were surprised by the matter of Wulizhai and Yueyang, what was Yueyang doing? At this time, he was serving his daughter-in-law in his own house. The reason is very simple, because Hai Lanzhu is pregnant.

Since Yue Yang came back, there was something wrong with Hai Lanzhu's whole person, and when he went to ask the doctor, he found out that Hai Lanzhu was pregnant, and this news instantly shocked everyone in the entire Yue Mansion.

Hai Lanzhu's pregnancy is a big deal, and for Wulizhai and the Yue family, it is more important than Yueyang winning the battle or being promoted.

The ancients paid attention to unfilial piety, and Yue Yang, Hai Lanzhu, and Linglong sisters have been married for more than a year, but the stomachs of the three daughters have not moved. The old lady was so anxious that she often got some tonic medicine for Yue Yang and several daughters-in-law to drink, so that Yue Yang now felt sick to her stomach when she saw the tonics, and now that she was fine, she finally didn't have to drink those things.

The news of Hai Lanzhu's pregnancy soon spread from Yuefu to the entire Wulizhai and Yingzhou Mansions. Yueyang's subordinates have been thinking about the law one by one these days and have come to Yue's Mansion with congratulatory gifts, even the prefect Zheng Kui and those merchants in the city are no exception.

After all, today's Yueyang can be said to be the most powerful person in Yingzhou City, and he is not only an official but also a well-known landlord who holds military power.

"Daughter-in-law, be obedient! Hurry up and drink this bowl of medicine! ”

In Hai Lanzhu's room, Yue Yang was sitting beside Hai Lanzhu with a bowl of fetal pills, and persuaded his daughter-in-law to drink this bowl of black things.

"Zhenghong, I don't want to drink these things anymore, you better let the maids remove them!" Hai Lanzhu, who was half-lying on the bed, looked at this bowl of soup medicine, a beautiful goose egg face was wrinkled, she had always been heroic and hearty, but now she was scared when she saw these medicines, and had to ask her husband for help.

"No, either you drink it, or you go and explain the reason to the old lady yourself." Yue Yang shook his head resolutely.

"Forget it, I don't want to be talked about by the old lady all day." Thinking of the old lady of the Yue family's desire to hold her grandson's enthusiasm and the terrible nagging divine skill, Hai Lanzhu couldn't help but shudder, took a deep breath after taking the medicine bowl from Yue Yang's hand, and immediately showed a determined look on her pretty face, and her strong Cheng dΓΉ reminded Yue Yang of Liu Hulan and Sister Jiang in later generations.

"Knock ......"

Hai Lanzhu pinched her nose and drank the bowl of medicine in one go, and was about to say something to Yue Yang, when a sound of small footsteps came, and soon Hai Lanzhu's personal girl Xiaoman walked in quickly, followed by the Linglong sisters behind her, and said as soon as she entered the door.

"Xianggong, Sister Hai Lanzhu, Zheng Zhifu, Shunbao and Hu Fangfang are all here, saying that if they see you."

"Why are they here?" Yue Yang's eyes were full of surprise, these days because of Hai Lanzhu's pregnancy, Yue Yang has handed over most of the military affairs to Shunbao and Hu Laosan, and he gave himself a few days off to accompany his daughter-in-law at home, it has only been a few days, why did they come together.

"Gotta ...... Looks like there's going to be something big about it again. Yue Yang shook his head and said to Hai Lanzhu: "You have a good rest, I'll take a look!" ”

"Hmmm! You go and put it! Hai Lanzhu waved her hand weakly, it is estimated that the tonic she took just now tasted too strong, and her little face was still wrinkled at this moment.

Walking next to the Linglong sisters, Yue Yang hugged the two of them and kissed them on the face, and said softly, "You guys help take care of Hai Lanzhu, you know?" ”

"Don't worry, we will." Yuling nodded meekly.

"I know, with my concubine and sister here, it's going to be fine!" Yulong's temperament is still so lively.
