Chapter 173: Luck

King Yi's words are beautiful, and his position is clear, he hopes to go to the local area to investigate the case. Xie Xiang's eyes flashed slightly. He knew that King Yi would not miss such a good opportunity to prove his ability.

Can receiving some trivial errands in the Sixth Department be the same as going out of Beijing to handle serious cases of local officials? The prince who has just entered the court, if he can handle such a complicated case beautifully, the emperor will definitely be impressed by him.

The emperor listened to King Yi's answer, looked noncommittal, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to King Xin on the side.

King Xin's style is obviously quite simple, and he only replied simply: "But according to the orders of my father, my sons must do their best."

In just one sentence, the meaning is also very clear. No matter what he is sent to do, he will do his best, as for whether to go out of Beijing to handle the case, or stay in Beijing to receive the affairs of the six ministries, he doesn't care, the emperor decides. When he received the errand, he tried his best to do it well.

This pragmatic attitude is obviously very pleasing to the emperor, the emperor nodded slightly, thought for a moment and made a decision: "Since Xiao Liu wants to handle the case, then Xiao Wu will also go to handle the case, just two cases, one of you will receive one, and I will select two experienced criminal officials from Dali Temple to assist you."

As soon as the emperor's golden mouth opened, this was a certainty, Li Xiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at Xie Xiang on the side, and found that Xie Xiang's face was a little dark, and he seemed to be glaring angrily at the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. And beads of sweat oozed from Shangshu's forehead of the Criminal Department, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xie Xiang's appearance.

Scold...... Li Xiang couldn't help but feel a little proud. It seems that this old guy Xie Xiang is too cautious! Although he wanted to interrogate Zhao Zhiliang in advance, he didn't worry about Feng Shangshu and didn't talk to him in advance, this is good, Feng Shangshu proposed to let the prince come forward to handle the case in front of the Manchu Dynasty, and the surname Xie was busy this time.

Li Xiang knew what he should do now, and the most important thing he should do now was to try his best to persuade King Yi to go to Zhending Mansion. As for Cui Wenju, it will probably not be good if it falls into the hands of King Xin. But it doesn't matter, if you can't get it out, it's just Wen Chengping's brother-in-law anyway, and he can't be involved, the most important thing is to keep Zhao Zhiliang.

For Lin Xiang and Gu Daxue, this case has nothing to do with them, so the two don't help each other, the emperor will say a few words if he asks, the emperor doesn't ask a word, and where the princes are sent is not much different to them. Therefore, Lin Xiang didn't bother to express his opinion at all, and Lord Gu seriously recommended a few safe criminal officials as candidates to assist the prince and let the emperor decide.

Li Xiang was very active, and together with the Ministry of Rites, he found a suitable reason and asked the emperor to book the place of King Yi and King Xin on the spot.

Xie Xiang's face was dark on the surface, and he watched Li Xiangyi "helplessly" to facilitate King Xin to go to Fengzhou and King Yi to go to Zhending Mansion.

That's a ...... Everyone is very happy with the result!

All this that happened in the DPRK and China, theoretically speaking, has nothing to do with the Mu family of the Anguo Mansion. Old Madam Mu and several Mrs. Mu are only concerned about the folds handed into the palace in the morning, for them, the prince and courtiers love to toss and toss, as long as they do not delay the affairs of the north.

Soon after the dispersal of the dynasty, Mu Zhengyi brought back the news, saying that the emperor had allowed 20,000 war horses to enter the north, and the household department allocated funds to purchase 10,000 horses, and the other 10,000 horses were mobilized from Qinfeng Road and Jingbei Road.

Things went so smoothly, the Mu family was very happy after getting the news, except for the third Mrs. Mu, who was still worried.

An Guogong's letter didn't say anything, only said that the situation at the border was grim, so he originally planned to let Mu Chengxin return to Beijing at the end of October, but it seemed that it would be postponed and strive to let Mu Chengxin come back for the New Year before the year.

Although Mrs. Mu San, who got the news, was a little disappointed, she could still accept it, she was not the first day to be the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, the situation on the battlefield changed, and it was common for the men in the north to return uncertainly, and she had long been used to it.

However, another thing that Mu Tieyi said in the letter he brought to Mu Hongsheng made Mrs. Mu San suspense day and night. Mu Tieyi told Mu Hongshang in the letter that these days the border is restless, the Rongdi people always want to cross the border to rob the people, the defense pressure of the border three states is extremely high, and he and Mu Chiyi have been very busy recently.

Mu Tieyi also said that the backpack that his sister carried was very useful and could carry more weight, especially for long-distance marching. After reading it, he paid for the fabrics himself, found someone in the north to make five hundred, and gave one to him and the sergeants under Mu Chiyi's command.

He also said that his sister's backpack was like a life-saving artifact, saying that they encountered an ambush when they were patrolling, and a cold arrow shot directly at Mu Chiyi's back, and he was scared into a cold sweat at that time, but the backpack behind Mu Chiyi was stuffed with cold and hard military rations and wheat cakes, and the Rong Di people's arrow did not penetrate it, and Mu Chiyi relied on his sister's backpack to pick up a life.

He also told Mu Hongsheng as if he was telling a joke that he had always felt that the military rations and wheat cakes were as hard as stones, and he didn't dare to complain before, for fear that others would laugh at him as a squeamish young master soldier. Now that there is solid evidence, this wheat cake can even block cold arrows, isn't it harder than a stone?

The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, he has been in the army for more than half a year, and Mu Tieyi, who is used to seeing life and death, talks about these things lightly. He and Mu Chiyi really felt that Mu Chiyi could save his life this time, and they were all protected by his younger brothers and sisters in the family. Without that poorly handmade backpack, Mu Chiyi would be seriously injured even if he didn't die this time, how could he return to the camp with all his beards and tails like this.

It's just that although Mu Tieyi and Mu Chiyi on the battlefield didn't think it was a big deal, this "joke" of a cold arrow and a stone wheat cake frightened Mu Chiyi's mother, Mrs. Mu San.

The first night of the Mu family, the song and family letter from the north, after Mrs. Mu heard the news that Mu Chiyi almost died, her face immediately turned blue, she forced her back to the room, and secretly cried to the letter brought back by her husband and son.

That night, Mrs. Mu San couldn't sleep peacefully almost all night, she couldn't sleep in the first half of the night, her mind was full of chaos, she was worried about Mu Chiyi on the battlefield, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, but she began to have endless nightmares.

All night, she dreamed of her husband and son covered in blood on the battlefield, and within five watches, she was awakened by nightmares and did not dare to sleep again. Before dawn, Mrs. Mu took the maids to Wuyingtang, where she kowtowed and burned incense to the ancestors, hoping that the martyrs of the Mu family could bless the generals in the north with peace and security.

After staying up all night like this, Mrs. Mu's spirit was naturally very bad, and when she went to ask Mrs. Mu for peace in the morning, her face was blue and gray, and she was extremely haggard.
