Chapter Seventy-Eight
Mo Ziling and Jiang Qianhan led the troops back to Yongdu for ten days, because Beifeng had just captured several Fang countries, the people of these surrendered Fang countries were not very stable, and only a few people knew about the injury of the Wujun monarch, and did not leak the slightest to the outside world; on the day of entering the city, many people in Yongdu spontaneously went to the outskirts of the city to welcome the return of the Wujun monarch, and they already knew that the monarch had captured several Fang countries in the rest of the month, and the territory of Beifeng had expanded a lot, which meant that the opportunities for business exchanges had increased a lot.
Yongdu officials and the people eagerly waited to see the red-clothed figure of the Wujun monarch on the horse, a year ago they were still thinking about what future Beifeng could have when such a woman was in charge of such a woman who had not yet reached the end of the year, I am afraid that even the reign of the Murong clan could not be compared; now a year has passed, there has been no rebellion in Beifeng, and the Wujun monarch has promulgated a lot of laws that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, and the most important thing is not only that His Majesty the Emperor Dayue exempted Beifeng from paying taxes for one year, and the Wujun monarch reduced nearly half of the taxes after the expiration of the period, how these people are not grateful to her.
Many people in the crowd are talking about the demeanor of the martial monarch, some say how she is brave and good at fighting, and in such a short period of time, she has captured several square countries, even the original Murong Lie, the god of war of the Murong clan, does not have such a record; some people say that the monarch of Wujun looks like such a delicate woman how to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, thinking that the monarch should be a person of infinite strength, saying that her weapons should weigh at least dozens of catties; some people next to him sneered and said that they had never seen the monarch's weapons, and besides, the monarch's weak posture of Liu Fufeng can make such a heavy weapon, and someone around him answered that Xu is the monarch's weapon is really big enough and heavy enough, so it is inconvenient to carry, I can't see it on weekdays, and I must put it in the barracks and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
There are also people who say that the monarch is such a peerless woman who should marry what kind of man in the future, the monarch's husband should not be able to beat the monarch; next to them, some people say what do you know, His Majesty the Emperor Dayue has long been devoted to the monarch, just waiting for the monarch and the queen to marry the monarch as the Empress of Dayue, I heard that now the six rites have passed the three rites, and the dowry is a rare and rare thing in the world, which shows that His Majesty really loves our monarch, where will there be a fight. Someone also said that if the monarch became the emperor of Dayue, Beifeng would not change the master, and I don't know if the newcomer could read the people like the monarch; this remark was on the minds of many Beifeng officials and the people, and the atmosphere fell silent for a while.
More women and children are worried that their husbands will only train for a few days before going out with the monarch of Wujun, and in such a short period of time, the monarch has captured several countries, and they don't know how the casualties of the Beifeng soldiers are, and whether their husbands and children can return safely; 。
After noon, the people were waiting anxiously when they heard someone in front of them: Look!
For a while, people were tiptoeing to look at the official road, first heard the sound of cars and horses in the distance, and then saw the Beifeng's red-edged fire phoenix flag waving in the wind, followed by the big red-lettered 'ink' flag hunting;
In the past, there was a spacious carriage behind a dozen horseback generals, the carriage was closed, and the situation inside could not be seen; people couldn't help but suspect that it was the martial monarch who walked at the front of the procession on weekdays, and the appearance of the hunting red clothes and gold armor and the monarch's captivating city had long been regarded as the most beautiful scenery in Beifeng. But at this time, the Beifeng soldiers returned victoriously but did not see the beautiful figure, and people talked about it for a while, worried about what happened to the monarch, and the voice gradually became louder.
Mo Ziling was leaning in the car looking at a book, and after hearing people's discussions, he thought for a moment and knocked on the wall of the car; Jiang Qianhan, who was following next to him, looked at the car window suspiciously, Mo Ziling stretched out his hand to open the curtain and said a few words to him, Jiang Qianhan explained to a guard next to him, only to see the guard riding his horse to the front of the team, and the team stopped after a while.
The crowd of onlookers saw the team stop and didn't know what was going on, and they were silent for a while and looked at the carriage, they knew that the person who was riding a horse next to the carriage was Beifeng Sima Jiang Qianhan, only to see him get off the horse and open the door, stretching out his hand to help people; 。
It was the first time that the people of Beifeng saw that the monarch of Wujun did not ride a horse but sat in a carriage, worried whether she was injured on the battlefield and couldn't help but look up and down, and forgot to kneel and salute for a while;
Mo Ziling is now injured and can't exert his strength, stretch out his hand to help, Jiang Qianhan raised his voice to let them be exempt, and the crowd got up and quietly looked at the Wujun monarch in the carriage; Mo Ziling said in a clear voice: "Benjun has been on the expedition for more than a month this time, fortunately, my Beifeng soldiers have worked together to capture eight Fang countries such as Jingfang and Tufang, and become my Beifeng territory; This monarch has ordered the burial of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for my Beifeng, and set up a sacrificial hall in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and a special person is responsible for the sacrifice. Benjun has also sent a letter to the officials of Yongdu to prepare a consolation money to support the families of the dead soldiers; Benjun knows that you actually don't want this consolation money, but want to reunite as a family! But we all have the responsibility to serve Dayue and Beifeng, and Benjun promises: At any time, Benjun will never give up a soldier who follows Benjun! Benjun will also do his best to make your life better! Please forgive Benjun for not taking good care of your family. ”
After finishing speaking, Mo Ziling bent down and bowed to the crowd, and only straightened up after a long time, and the soldiers around him who had witnessed the battle in Kunlun Mountain suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "The monarch should not blame himself so much, if it weren't for the monarch desperately resisting those monsters made by the ghost people, where would there still be our lives;
More soldiers hulala knelt down and shouted: "May I live and die with the monarch!"
The cry resounded through the heavens and the earth, echoing in the mountains and forests.
The crowd of onlookers had already heard that the Wujun monarch was not angry when she spoke, and knew that she must have been seriously injured, and she could have ignored them and the people, but the monarch could bow to them, which they could not have imagined;
Looking at their relatives in the team who were willing to kneel to support the monarch of Wujun, their hearts had already stirred, and they knelt down and shouted: I am willing to live and die with the monarch!
Mo Ziling's eyes welled up with tears, she didn't want the people of Beifeng to see her so fragile side, so she glanced at Jiang Qianhan and returned to the carriage; Jiang Qianhan and her had already had a tacit understanding, and after closing the car door, she comforted the people a few words, saying that she would personally participate in the distribution of consolation money, and settle the livelihood of the families of the deceased soldiers, etc. He also said that the martial monarch had not yet recovered from his injuries and needed to return to the city to recuperate, and everyone had gone home early to wait for the reunion with their families.
After the team marched, Jiang Qianhan glanced at the carriage silently, and was even more impressed by Mo Ziling in his heart: Ah Ling's grasp of people's hearts is becoming more and more accurate, just a few words make the Beifeng soldiers and people willing to follow her. He also knew that Mo Ziling had done this, but how many generals in the world would only do it and not say how much infamy and infamy they would leave behind? And Mo Ziling could see through these at such an age, and a few words would resolve the resentment of the people, and following such a monarch, although she was a woman, Jiang Qianhan's pride still arose.
Li Yan and Mo Zi'an were even more excited, they couldn't think of Jiang Qianhan's layer, but just looking at the monarch with a few words, these people were willing to make her feel honored, and they couldn't do something for the monarch at this time.
After returning to the Yongdu Royal City, Mo Ziling did not dare to be careless, recuperated her body with peace of mind, and handed over the daily deliberations to Jiang Qianhan to preside, she only occasionally discussed with a few important ministers the government affairs they did not dare to decide; Jiang Qianhan was even busier, in addition to leading the Beifeng subordinates to deal with government affairs, she also looked at the excerpts handed over by the Anxi Protectorate, and helped them come up with some ideas, and if she didn't go to the victims' homes to comfort the families and discuss their future livelihoods with them.
Li Yan grew a lot in this battle, and felt that he had learned too little, and after completing the drill every day, he buried himself in hard reading, and he couldn't wait to read all the books in the library in one day; Mo Zi'an returned to Longcheng after resting in Yongdu for a few days, after all, he was the highest official in Longcheng, and there were many things waiting for him to go back and deal with.
The days just slipped by unconsciously in the busyness, and more than a month passed in a flash······
Wang Du, Mo Zilan has been on leave with Ji Yuchen in the past few days and is busy preparing for the big wedding, Zhao Shuo will also go to help after the court meeting is disbanded, Jiang Zhiluo is even more busy with her feet on the ground, and she only has to live in the Dasi Nong Mansion; Mo Zilan lives alone in the Dasi Nong Mansion, so she has to ask Jiang Zhiluo to help arrange the wedding ceremony and banquet arrangement.
