Chapter 22: The Kings Send Medicine
Chapter 22: The Kings Send Medicine
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the army is about to arrive! The minions will help you out of the carriage! ”
"Well, cough cough~" Sima Ze stepped out of the carriage with the support of his close attendant Ah Fu, and stood in front of all the ministers who came to greet the triumph of the army, just a few steps down, which caused him to cough, and his face became a little paler, and the ministers behind him shook their heads and sighed: Alas! Although His Royal Highness is smart and benevolent, his body is really weak, and he doesn't know ......
"General, it's here!"
"Well, all the sergeants obey the order, dismount and line up!" Approaching the imperial city, Xu Mengmeng also saw clearly the yellow figure standing in front of the ministers, still the gentle gentleman in the memory of the original body, but his face seemed to be whiter than before! It seems that this palace is not necessarily a good place to recuperate!
"Chen Ningjun see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xu Mengmeng stopped about five meters away from the minister, turned over and dismounted, and took the lead in kneeling on one knee more than a meter in front of Sima Ze.
"General Ning, please get up! Soldiers, please rise! You have worked hard to guard my Eastern Jin Dynasty~ On behalf of the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this palace thanks you warriors, you cough~ I am the hero of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this palace has prepared a little thin wine for you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, all the sergeants, please cough cough~"
In just a few words, the sick prince was interrupted several times because of a low cough, Xu Mengmeng was really worried about whether he would go like this, hey, this body is too weak!
Sima Ze's words fell, Xu Mengmeng quickly got up and stood up without waiting for him to step forward to help, he had really stayed in the barracks for a while, he was usually rude, and he was really afraid that he would be frightened by his indecent behavior.
Without a trace, Sima Ze withdrew his slightly outstretched hand that was ready to be held weakly, put it on his lips and covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then nodded with a light smile and turned to get into the carriage.
All the ministers also nodded at Xu Mengmeng, and Xu Mengmeng responded one by one. Hey? This person seems to be an acquaintance too! Xu Mengmeng's gaze stayed on the face of a young official in a cyan official robe and looked literary for a moment, and the young official seemed to be aware of it, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth at her.
Fox! Xu Mengmeng muttered in her heart and looked away. It wasn't until the end of the banquet that she returned to the general's mansion without getting a drop of wine but full of wine, that she found the intersection with the household servant named Song Jinyan in the memories left by the original body, it turned out that he was the unlucky guy at the beginning! Looks like it's a good mix!
After the banquet, the emperor gave two days of rest, after all, Xu Mengmeng has always claimed that he is injured, although the emperor is a little curious about him, he still wants to show his compassion for the courtiers, right?
The day after the celebration banquet ended, Xu Mengmeng got up early and sat in the hall of the General's Mansion and waited quietly.
"General, come to visit from the Three Princes' Mansion!" Sure enough, it didn't take long for a guard to come and report.
"Well, please!"
"General Ning Xiao, I heard that the general is injured, and he has been recuperating in the mansion for the past few days, the third prince is worried about the general, and because he is busy with official business, he specially sent contemptible people to visit the general, I hope you will recover soon!"
The person who came was a scribe in his thirties, and Xu Mengmeng estimated that he should be one of the staff of the third prince Sima Hao.
"Oh, Ning has the third prince of Lao missing! Sir will definitely thank the three princes for their great kindness! Come on, serve tea to Mr. Xu Mengmeng smiled kindly and pulled the man to sit down.
"General Ning doesn't have to bother, the third prince ordered the contemptible people to bring some medicinal materials to the general, and I hope the general will not refuse!"
"Yes, yes, Ning will live up to the kindness of the three princes and recover his body as soon as possible to defend the territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"
"What General Ning said is very true, the third prince is still waiting for the contemptible person to return to his life, so Sun will leave first!"
"Sir, go slowly! Remember to tell the third prince for me that after Ning recovers, he will personally visit Xie En! ”
Xu Mengmeng yelled at the back of the so-called Mr. Sun, and then sat down and continued to drink tea.
These three princes are really impulsive and have a bad brain, and the people below have no brains, no wonder they are not favored by the ministers!
He is a young general with an innocent net worth and no background, and he has won the hearts of the people, which camp doesn't want such a talent? Don't want to stutter? Even the emperor may have the intention of cultivating well.
But you are so eager to be this up-and-coming bird, aren't you directly exposing your ambitions in front of everyone! The emperor is not jealous, who are you jealous of? Isn't this called stupidity?
And even if you're here to visit the sick, you won't hide some silver under those precious medicinal herbs! I'm a military attache who has just arrived in the capital, isn't it silver that I lack the most?
"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to send some medicinal herbs!" Xu Mengmeng was still complaining in his heart that the third prince was a brain-dead, and there was another gift coming to the door.
"Got it, bring it in!" This prince's person is more interested than the three princes, and he only left the gift at the door and left, which not only showed the people his sympathy for the heroes, but also showed the emperor that he had no intention of wooing! It can be seen that it is not a straw bale! However, it seems that he needs those medicinal herbs more than he does!
"General, the fifth prince sent someone to send medicinal herbs over!" Before he finished complaining about one, there was another one, did the five princes, who had been inconspicuous in front of everyone, plan to take advantage of the momentum he created in his last letter to rise strongly? Although since the fall of the White Mansion, he has almost no power on the surface, but if the prince dies early, he will not be a candidate for the king!
"General, the Seventh Prince sent someone to send medicinal herbs!" Sima Xun? The legendary guy who is the most favored, the best and the most likely to ascend to the throne?
"Well, bring it in!" After Xu Mengmeng and the others carried the three large boxes sent by Sima Xun into the hall, they hurriedly opened them and picked them up, and sure enough, there were full of gold, silver and jewelry under the medicinal materials.
Xu Mengmeng had no expression on his face, but his heart was happy. Or is this guy going to be a man! It seems that he is not without reason! However, this smiling tiger is most likely the original culprit who framed Baifu!
Later, some princes and ministers sent a lot of gifts, Xu Mengmeng didn't care too much, first, those princes were still young, it is estimated that they saw that the prince gave a gift, they just followed the trend, and those ministers are basically some petty officials in Beijing, most of them want to tie themselves up, such people are estimated to have very clean hands and feet, so Xu Mengmeng does not plan to bother to make friends or anything.
On the second day, Xu Mengmeng went to the Ministry of Officials to receive the documents, seals and other things for his position, and then recuperated at home, after all, he was going to meet the supreme ruler of the Eastern Jin Dynasty tomorrow.
Although that person was about to enter old age, Xu Mengmeng didn't dare to underestimate him, after all, how many people who could sit in that position since ancient times were simple characters? What's more, General Bai was loyal to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and that person knew that he was framed by someone but still slaughtered Baifu Manmen, which shows how ruthless his heart is!
