Chapter 38: The Northern Guard Comes to Attack
Chapter 38: Beiwei Comes to Attack
Although Wang Gang's tearful plea was sincere and moving, it still could not avoid the fate of Wang Zhiwei's death, and Sima Wei personally asked the guards to stab him to death in front of hundreds of officials, this exciting scene was undoubtedly not something that Wang Gang, who is now middle-aged, could bear it, and he vomited blood and fainted.
But this matter did not end there, although Wang Gang lost his beloved son, and the emperor did not tolerate his tanuki for the prince because of pity, but he was not punished too severely, and was only demoted from the military department to the military department, which shows that the emperor really values him, and Xu Mengmeng was even more confused for a while.
If Wang Gang is the emperor's person, but there is no more heart-wrenching punishment in the world than watching his son die in front of him, but he can't do anything about it, but if he is not the emperor's person, he can commit such a big crime of bullying the king, and the emperor only said "Wang Aiqing is just confused for a while" and only lowered one level to bring this matter over, and saved it.
Although Xu Mengmeng was a little disappointed, he was still very happy to remove this scourge for the people of the capital, and also got the conclusion that the emperor did not want to move Wang Gang at present, as for why he didn't want to move, he could only look at it later. Now all three clues are broken!
"Lixing Akabane, how are the preparations for the military quartermaster?"
"The general can rest assured, what was prepared before has been sent over to Jizhou first, and now the northern border will be sent over the last batch the day after tomorrow!
I have already listened to your orders, general, and handed over to the Hubu military department, and when they rush out, they will be sent directly to the south and west, and finally it will be our turn to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing! ”
"Is there any news from Yinyue's side?"
"Well, at present, Beiwei only occasionally sends cavalry squads to harass the villages under Jizhou City, and has no plans to attack on a large scale!"
"That's good, I don't have a clue in my head, I'm bored in this house, I'll go out for a walk! You continue to keep an eye on the household and military departments, and you must not give them the opportunity to use their weapons and feet! Xu Mengmeng changed into a dark blue regular dress and went out.
"General Ning" Xu Mengmeng was walking on the lively street to experience the people's livelihood, and when he heard someone calling behind him, he turned around and looked over, it was that little black fan!
"Is the girl called?"
"Well, little girl Li Muqing, thank you for the general's grace to save his life by the river last time!" Li Muqing lowered her head and whispered with a red face.
"You're welcome! At the last palace banquet, Ning thanked Miss for breaking the siege! Xu Mengmeng chuckled, didn't she say that Miss Li Yushijia was rude and vulgar, in her opinion, this etiquette was also good!
"No, no, General Ning, when you triumphed, I ...... I scolded you, I didn't mean it, you don't take it to heart, you're not ugly, really, I swear! Li Muqing's face flushed and raised the middle three fingers of her right hand, explaining eagerly.
"Well, I believe and don't mind! Besides, you must have heard your father say that I was ugly! Xu Mengmeng saw that the little girl blushed suddenly, blinked and said with a smile.
I took off the mask on my face in front of the ministers, and I believe that they must have been impressed by the disguised ugly face, and at the same time, they must have promoted it for themselves when they returned home, otherwise where did the ugly reputation of the capital come from?
"Daddy, they're not all deceived by you!" As soon as Li Muqing's rebuttal came out, she couldn't wait to beat herself, obviously wanting to be like Zhao Qianrou and maintain the gentleness of her noble daughter, but she couldn't change her reckless nature of not admitting defeat.
"Miss Li is still as casual as this, but she looks a little bit squirming just now, far less vivid and delicate than now!"
"But the people in the capital think I'm rude and vulgar!"
"As long as you live comfortably, why care too much about other people's eyes, besides, there will always be people in this world who understand your goodness!"
Fresh and pretty! Is he complimenting me? There will always be someone in this world who understands my goodness? Could that be him?
"Miss Miss"
"Ah, Chunhong, where is General Ning?"
"General Ning's guards are in a hurry, just came to look for him, General Ning went back to the house, and he greeted you when he just left!" Chunhong simply surrendered to her young lady, and everyone had been gone for a long time, and she didn't even notice it.
"Yes...... Is it? Li Muqing blushed and muttered quietly.
"Miss, what are you muttering?"
Zhao Taifu's Mansion
Zhao Qianrou took out a delicately embroidered purse from her arms, put her hand into the purse, and when she took it out again, there was an ink-colored hairband lying quietly in her palm, her fingers gently rubbed the plain and ordinary hairband, and her mind was full of the person's stunning and unparalleled demeanor.
"Sister" heard the familiar voice, she quickly came back to her senses, stuffed the hairband back into her purse, put it in her arms, picked up the book on the side and quietly flipped through it.
"Sister, do you know that I went to see him on the day of the palace banquet, and he gave me this!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qianrou looked up at her sister Zhao Yuling, and saw a small red jade pendant lying in her hand, she knew that it was that person who often hung it on her waist, and she also knew the origin of the jade pendant.
Zhao Qianrou didn't care about her sister's show-off, after all, she didn't like that person, what did she care about?
"Sister, do you know what I hate about you the most? is to be disdainful of me like this, as if I am a clown in front of you, but in fact, you and I have the same background, I am not inferior to you in terms of appearance or talent, why do they do so hard to build you, the first daughter of the capital, he~ what an elegant reputation!
But what about me, I'm also their daughter, why did they never think of pushing me to the position where one man is above ten thousand? They know that I have that ambition, but why can they ignore it so thoroughly? Zhao Yuling roared heartbreakingly.
"This is the family's choice, you can't change it, and I can't refuse it!" She sighed under her breath, her fingers clenching the paper.
"I can't change it, I have to fight for myself, I won't be soft on you just because you are my sister, because this is what you owe me, and the whole family owes me!" Zhao Yuling paused at the door, and left directly after speaking.
"You can still fight, but what about me? I don't even have the courage to face my true heart! Zhao Qianrou muttered in a low voice, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks.
"General, Northern Emergency!" Xu Mengmeng was encouraging the little black fan, and suddenly saw Liujin rushing over, hurriedly said goodbye to Miss Li's family, and hurried back to the house.
"What's going on in the North? But those Northern Guard barbarians went to war? ”
"Exactly, the Northern Guard has gathered 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack!"
"Seventy thousand? Jizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, now there are 50,000 troops stationed, and General Lin has always been strict in governing the army, and there is Yinyue Mufeng in them, so it should be okay to come to the war! You only need to send someone to check the grain and grass that the military department has delivered every time, and it just so happens that they can also take this opportunity to earn more military merits. Hearing that the number of enemy troops was small, Xu Mengmeng was a lot more relieved, and he didn't plan to participate in this war.
