Chapter 996: If you want to live, go back to Beijing!
Ten Divine Decrees!
This situation makes everyone in Cullen City feel like the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings. Even the ordinary people in Kulen City were panicked at this moment.
The tenth elder brother led the army outside, but the imperial court came to the ten holy decrees to summon the tenth elder brother back to Beijing.
"This is Grandpa Yue's old story to be repeated!"
Among the people of Kulun City, some Han people gathered together and talked softly.
"There is a traitor in the court!"
"If Brother Ten returns to the capital, what should we do?"
"It's going to be hard again!"
……
The Han people were whispering, and the people of the Eight Banners who came to the Kulun Banner with the Ten Elder Brothers were also talking.
Every family of these Eight Banners has people who go out with the Ten Elder Brothers, and of course, there are also family members who still stay in the army of Kulun Banner
Since the departure of the tenth elder brother, Kulen City has entered a state of military management, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners who used to go home every time are now staying in the barracks for a long time, and they can't even leave the barracks unless they have important matters.
Now, the Ten Divine Decrees were sent from the capital, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners in the barracks remained rare and silent.
The army of Kulen City has transitioned from the original Eight Banners military system to the kind of military system in later generations. Although most of the soldiers in Kulun City were born from the Eight Banners, a small number were the children of Mongolian herdsmen, and a smaller number were the children of Han Chinese, but they were professional soldiers.
Joining the army is initially three years of military service, and then you can freely choose whether to stay in the army and develop, or take off your military uniform and retire home.
As soon as this professional military system was introduced, it was well received by almost all soldiers.
Of course, the most important thing is that the pay for being a soldier is really high.
According to Dulan's method for the tenth elder brother, others are playing with their lives, why do they get so little money, and they are often deducted by Shangguan?
Therefore, in the city of Kulun, the income of a soldier is not necessarily the highest, but it is the most stable. As long as the city of Kulun remains, then there will be no arrears or discounts on the soldiers' salaries and money.
If a soldier dies in battle, in addition to being buried in the martyrs' cemetery and engraved in the Martyrs' Shrine, his family will also receive a large pension and special treatment for up to 16 years.
Because the tenth elder brother listened to Du Lan's suggestion and launched a series of army reform measures, the army of Kulun City became an iron plate, and the order was forbidden, and it was his duty to obey orders.
Therefore, even if the Ten Holy Decrees came to the capital to summon the Ten Elder Brothers back to Beijing, it would have no impact on the soldiers in the barracks. When the tenth elder brother left, the supreme command of the army fell into the hands of Fu Jin, and Fu Jin did not have an order, so they only needed to train step by step, practice their skills, and the next time they went out, they could also go with the army.
A war is a journey to get rich.
Many princes of the Horqin grassland were exterminated before, and that expedition captured a large amount of gold and silver treasures, cattle and sheep. Although the big head was taken by the ten elder brothers, the soldiers who went out to fight got at least a hundred taels of silver.
A war, a rich group of people.
Therefore, when the Ten Elder Brothers were going to go on an expedition to Rakshasa, everyone agreed.
……
Because of these ten holy decrees, the people in the city were panicked, and Dulan gathered Sun Defu, Dai Zi, Jin Liujin and others again.
A holy decree that can be delayed!
Ten holy decrees, can it still be delayed?
"Fujin, the master has already gone to Rakshasa, even if we send someone to inform the master, this coming and going, there is not a month, I'm afraid it will not be enough."
"That's right, even if our master is now, when the master rushes to the capital, it will definitely be very late, what is the difference between not obeying the decree and resisting it?"
"Fujin, why don't you write a letter and let the slave send it to the capital?"
Sun Defu was thinking about this when he knew that there were ten holy decrees sent. racked his brains, and the only way he could think of was to delay the army.
"It's okay to write letters!"
"But the problem now is that even if Ben Fujin writes a letter back to Beijing, it still can't solve the problem!"
The Ten Divine Decrees summoned the Ten Elder Brothers back to Beijing, and the meaning of this is obvious, that is, the Ten Elder Brothers must return to Beijing.
"In addition, you all think about it, should you send someone to inform the tenth elder brother about this matter?"
"I mean, you don't have to send someone!"
After indicating the key points of making several people think about the problem, Du Lan simply and directly stated his meaning.
The tenth elder brother is leading the army to do things in the Rakshasa territory, if he is distracted by the matter of the holy decree and causes unnecessary losses, the problem will be a bit serious.
Although the development situation of Cullen City is good, and people continue to come to join it, the population of Cullen City is still a big problem. The population base is too small, and as a direct result, the city of Kulen is not well manned.
If it weren't for the implementation of a new military system and the extremely high treatment given to soldiers, Du Lan really doubted that with the previous military system, Kulen City would still be as prosperous as it is now.
Dai Zi, Sun Defu and the others glanced at each other, all a little depressed, because Du Lan had already made his attitude clear, did they want to jump out and go against Fujin?
"Fujin, the slave also thinks that since the master can't return to Beijing in time, then, a delay of one month is a delay, and a delay of two months is still a delay. It really doesn't make sense to tell the master about the current situation. Sun Defu is an elf man, and after Du Lan expressed his position, he immediately expressed his attitude, "Moreover, the master is leading the army, if it affects the army because of this matter, it will be a sin!" ”
"What Director Sun said is extremely true!"
Jin Liujin saw that the opportunity to perform was preempted by Sun Defu, and hurriedly echoed.
Dai Zi is an orthodox courtier, and his temperament is also a little upright.
If it had been before, he would have been absolutely opposed. After all, at that time, he was Kangxi's courtier, although he was deposed by Kangxi.
But now, Dai Zi has become the courtier of the tenth elder brother.
At this moment, in the face of this situation, Dai Zi naturally made the same choice as everyone else.
Then, Du Lan wrote a simple letter on the spot, calling Sun Defu, and asked him to send someone to the capital immediately. As for the guards of the Qianqing Palace who came to deliver the holy decree, they were still left in Kulun City.
Although Mama Fu has already determined these identities, the Ten Holy Decrees are too bizarre. Therefore, before the news of the capital came, these people could only stay in Kulun City as guests.
"Fujin, there is a letter!"
Not long after the handwritten letters in Dulan were sent to the capital, letters came from the capital.
Mama Fu hurriedly appeared in front of Du Lan and presented a letter that was still in the fire.
A letter from the capital?
After the Ninth Elder Brother went to Jinwei, Dulan and the Tenth Elder Brother had not received a letter from the capital for a long time. And at this juncture, there is a letter sent from the capital?
"Who's the letter?"
Duran was genuinely curious.
"Back to Fujin, it's Guo Luo Luo!"
With Mama Fu's words, Du Lan remembered the Guo Luo Luo clan who always wanted to replace her. When Brother Ten and she were forced to leave the capital, Guo Luo Luo made a lot of trouble and didn't want to leave the capital.
As a result, the tenth elder brother really left Guo Luo Luo's clan in the capital, and he was confined there and did not spare the tenth elder brother's mansion Zheng
Since then, Guo Luoluo has not even sent a letter. There was no letter to the tenth elder brother, nor did she write a few words to her children.
"I'll see!"
At this juncture, Guo Luo Luo sent a letter, most likely about what happened in the capital.
"Fujin, wait!"
At the moment when Du Lan took the envelope from Fu Mama's hand, Fu Mama suddenly reached out again and retrieved the letter from Du Lan's hand.
"Fu Jin, this letter, let's let the slave maid open it!"
Mama Fu looked at Du Lan nervously, reading the letter in the book, with a very cautious guard.
"Is this necessary?"
Du Lan felt that Mama Fu was really a little overdone.
However, Mama Fu spoke very firmly, saying, "Fu Jin, there is nothing wrong with your heart. That Guo Luo Luo, no letter has been sent for so long. Just sending a letter at this juncture is a very suspicious thing in itself! ”
"Well, listen to you!"
Dulan no longer argued with Mama Fu about this issue, but stepped back, walked through the window, and looked at Mama Fu from a distance and opened the envelope.
Then, when the envelope was opened, a piece of pink powder really flew out of the envelope, and the pink powder began to spread like a mist with the wind.
"Fujin, poisonous—"
Mama Fu threw away the envelope in her hand, and the person fell backwards.
"Come—"
Du Lan was about to call someone, but when he saw that the pink powder smoke had not completely dissipated, the words that had reached his throat were stuck and held back.
After a few moments, the pink smoke finally disappeared.
Only then did Du Lan shout for someone to come in and help.
Ji Ri Tuna ran very fast, and quickly went to call the doctor.
However, after the doctor's diagnosis, Mama Fu's pulse was normal and she was asleep.
Eventually, Duran asked the doctors to study the envelope containing the poison, hoping that someone would recognize what the envelope contained.
It's a pity that all the doctors in Cullen City gathered together, and no one could recognize what kind of poison this was and what harm it was to the human body.
The helpless doctors could only use conventional antidote pills for Mama Fu, however, it had no effect at all
"If you want to live, go back to Beijing!"
On the stationery of the envelope, there was only one line of words.
But Du Lan had never seen Guo Luoluo's handwriting, so he couldn't tell whether this was Guo Luoluo's handwriting or not. And Mama Fu, who can identify the authenticity of the letter, is in a coma at this time
"Ji Ri Tuna, go and bring Brother Hongxu over!"
In this house, the person who can distinguish the handwriting is Mama Fu, but now, Mama Fu can't count on it, and the last possibility to identify whether the handwriting belongs to Guo Luoluo's is only Hongxu.
Of course, Hongxu is still a child, and it is still unknown whether he can confirm Guo Luoluo's handwriting 100%. But now, only a dead horse can be a live horse doctor.
It didn't take long for Honghui to follow Ji Ri Tuna to the room in the main courtyard Dulan.
"I've seen my mother!"
Hongxu saw Dulan, but he still stepped forward politely to salute.
"Hongxu, look at the handwriting on this letter, and see, is it your mother's handwriting?"
Mama Fu was poisoned and couldn't wake up, and Dulan was not in the mood to grind slowly with Hongxu. Besides, what Hongxu would think in his heart, Dulan didn't bother to care.
Hongxu took the page of letter that was given to him next to him, stared at the paragraph on it, and looked at it again and again.
After a long time, Hongxu put down the letter and said solemnly, "Go back to Eniang, this is not Eniang's handwriting!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Hongxu did not hesitate for a moment and replied very affirmatively.
On this letter, there is a secret note left by Guo Luoluo. And this secret memory was specially remembered by Guo Luo Luo before he left the capital. And told him several times that if there was no such mark on the letter, then the letter must not have been written by her.
But now, there is a secret note left by Guo Luoluo on the letterhead.
Although Hongxu, he is really not stupid.
Although he didn't know what was going on, from this paragraph on the letterhead, Hongxu could guess that it must be Guo Luoluo who did something. And the impact of this thing is definitely not good.
But even so, so what?
Hongxu made a decision in an instant to help Guo Luo Luo keep the secret.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Guo Luoluo is a bad woman. But, no matter what, it's his mother. Someone else can target her, but he can't!
Based on this thought, Hongxu lied.
"Ji Ri Tuna, send the eldest brother back!"
Because Du Lan was worried about Mama Fu's physical condition, he didn't notice the slightest discomfort when Hongxu spoke. After hearing from Hongxu's mouth that this letter was not written by Guo Luoluo, Du Lan was not interested in caring about him anymore.
However, when Hongxu left, Da Gege jumped up.
Da Gege only glanced at it and was 100% sure that this was Guo Luoluo's handwriting.
The moment he heard Da Gege's words, Dulan felt that he was really stupid. Guo Luoluo's handwriting must not be able to hide Da Gege, who has lived with her for so many years.
Therefore, this letter was really written by Guo Luoluo.
In other words, the poisonous powder in this letter is likely to be prepared for the tenth elder brother.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the poison powder is prepared for Dulan. After all, after the letter arrived, the only people who were most likely to open the envelope were Dulan and Brother Shi.
"Guo Luo Luo, is she crazy?"
It was determined that this poisonous powder was prepared by Guo Luo Luo, and Du Lan was really speechless.
Is this man, who has died like this, with all the paste in his head?
"My mother, is my mother stupid again?"
Da Gege looked at Du Lan, she didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the two sentences on the letter, not a fool could guess that Guo Luo Luo must have done something despicable.
"Mama Fu is poisoned!"
Dulan sighed, "Your mother sent a letter, but she hid poison powder, pink powder, in the envelope. Mama Fu inhaled this kind of poisonous powder before she fell asleep. ”
"Do you know what this poison powder is?"
Dulan looked at Da Gege intently, and now, Da Gege has become Dulan's lifeline!
