Chapter 878: Decision
The content of the decree is only a simple sentence.
Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: The south has been flattened, and the Qing will return to Beijing as soon as possible, and this is admirable!
Xie Yue arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince, there are seven oracles from the Holy Lord urging you to return to Beijing. When he received the first message, Lao Yu discussed with Brother Xu and decided to put his illness aside for the time being. I didn't expect that the saint would issue six more edicts in a month, and looking at the time, he should have sent people one after another before he could reply. During the seventh edict, he also ordered the inner supervisor to visit the patient in person, but fortunately, the other party did not find any flaws. ”
"Exactly, thanks to Brother Xie's disguise technique, I didn't let the inner supervisor see anything unusual." Xu Weizhi also said, "However, the Holy Lord's decree shows that he can't wait." ”
Xie Yue added: "'Can't wait' is already a euphemism, the current situation of the Holy Lord should already be the anger of Long Yan, if the prince does not respond as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Holy Decree will be accompanied by more than just urging." ”
How can he not know what Xie Yue said? His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the orange candlelight in the account reflected the light and dark outlines of his handsome face.
He looked at the bright yellow holy decree on the table, and said for a long time: "It seems that I have to prepare to return to Beijing." ”
"The prince is going to go back? But you have been running the Pingnan Army for so long, everything has just entered the regular track, if you go back now, and the Holy Lord arranges for others, the Pingnan Army may not be as sticky as the Tiger Ben Army is to you. ”
"I know that, too. But things weren't as bad as expected. Xiao Xiao smiled confidently, "This king is confident that he still has such a hand in leading troops, although it is not as good as the feelings of the Tiger Army, but the Pingnan Army will not recognize people in the blink of an eye." ”
Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi also nodded, they had to admit that Xiao Xiao had a unique talent in leading troops and employing people, and he also had a particularly convincing temperament.
Rushing to kill on the battlefield, he has always rushed to the front and retreated last.
He never disregarded the life of any soldier. He saves the wounded soldiers, and those who are injured and can no longer be soldiers don't care if they give some silver under others, and many disabled soldiers who are disabled like that will become a burden to their families after returning to their hometowns, and a small amount of pension silver can be used for a few years?
But Xiao Xiao would not give up on them from the beginning, and Qin Yining also arranged for those injured and sick to go to his farm to work, and he didn't know how many wounded soldiers he fed. Even if those who died in battle, the bereavement benefits that the Great Zhou Dynasty did not give, they would send them privately, and they would never let the brothers and brothers who died in the war not close their eyes.
In the eyes of the enemy, he is a murderous embryo, but in the eyes of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he is a hero who opened up the territory and pacified the world, and is the cornerstone of the stability of the country.
That's why Li Qitian is so jealous.
The matter had been decided, and Xiao Xiao asked Huzi, "Yuan Yujiang is locked up?" ”
"Yes." Hu Zi bowed his head and said, "It's been dealt with, the prince doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"Has Mu Gongzi come to see his uncle recently?"
Xie Yue smiled: "I'm here today, and I haven't gone back yet." ”
Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, got up and said, "I'll look for him." ”
Who knew that before he could find Mu Jinghu, someone outside hurriedly came to report, "Lord, the princess ordered someone to report that Mrs. Mu was about to give birth, and let Mu Gongzi return quickly." ”
He was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly strode to look for Mu Jinghu outside the Tianji Zifang.
Mu Jinghu was chatting with Tianjizi through a door, and he didn't mind when he heard footsteps outside, but as the footsteps approached quickly, he and Tianjizi both stopped talking and looked at the door.
"Wood, why did you come here like this!"
Mu Jinghu said happily: "Are you back?" ”
"Yes, hey, this is not the time to say this, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Don't go back yet! ”
Mu Jinghu suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and said in a daze: "Really, really? ”
"Naturally it's true, Sister Yi'er just ordered someone to say, aren't you going home soon?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mu Jinghu turned around in place, as if he had just come back to his senses, and turned around and told Tianjizi: "Uncle Shi, I'll go first!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he ran past Xiao Xiao's side like a gust of wind, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Xiao remembered that on the day of Qin Yining's birth, he might have been as stupid as Mu Jinghu, so he couldn't help but shake his head funny, and walked out quickly.
Tianjizi, who was separated by a door, put his ears on the door, listened to the footsteps of the people outside, and slapped the door with angry hands: "Come back, belch!" What the hell is going on with the two of you, why don't you let this fairy girl go out after you have solved the matter! Come back! ”
However, her voice echoed through the hallway, but no one responded.
Tianjizi sat back at the table angrily, sulking while eating snacks.
When Xiao Xiao and Mu Jinghu rode their horses to Mu's house, it was already dark. A bright moon hung high in the air, and the silvery light was obscured by the light of the red lanterns in the house.
Walking in the outer courtyard, Mu Jinghu's hands and feet were cold, and he looked back at Xiao Xiao and said anxiously: "What should I do?" I heard that when a woman gives birth to a child, she just walks through the ghost gate, I, why am I a little scared...... Why is it so quiet in this house? Yes, will it be okay? ”
"Don't talk nonsense." "You're still far away, what do you expect to hear!" Why don't you hurry inside? ”
"Oh, what about you?"
Xiao Xiao laughed angrily at Mu Jinghu's stupid appearance: "I'm a foreign man, can I enter your house!" Why don't you go soon! ”
"Oh oh oh!" Mu Jinghu seemed to wake up at this time, flew up and jumped on the wall, and disappeared with a single rise and fall.
Huzi followed the owl, and his belly hurt when he saw Mu Jinghu's smiling appearance.
Xiao Xiao also thought it was funny. However, when Qin Yining gave birth, he was probably not much stronger than Mu Jinghu.
Qiu Feishan's body was still healthy, and she was not as guilty as Qin Yining did that day, and the baby's loud cry spread throughout the mansion that night.
"Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master, it's a little master!"
The midwife trotted out to give the good news.
It was already very cold in the old capital in mid-November, Mu Jinghu was spinning in the courtyard outside, but the heat coming out of his head was thick, and when he heard this, he rushed into the delivery room with a swish.
Qin Yining was holding a hand warmer and pulling the midwife to ask Qiu Feishan about the situation, when he heard a burst of joyful laughter from the house, followed by Mu Jinghu's stupid voice: "Shanshan, I'm a father!" You're a mother! ”
The silly image made everyone laugh.
The midwife smiled: "My wife is young and strong, and she usually pays attention to maintenance, so don't worry, the princess is fine." ”
Qin Yining completely relieved his heart at this time, and listened to the joyful commotion in the house, so he left the Mu family's inner house with a smile.
When he went to the outer courtyard to see Xiao Xiao, Qin Yining smiled and said: "The Qiu family gave birth to a son, we should also prepare a congratulatory gift." ”
"What you said came in a hurry, and it was too late to prepare." Xiao Xiao turned around and told Huzi, "You let people tell Tianjizi the good news." ”
Huzi smiled and nodded, and ran away.
Xiao Xiao left the Mu family side by side with Qin Yining. At this time, everyone in the house was jubilant, especially Mu Jinghu, who estimated that Du Le was stupid, and the two of them didn't want to disturb.
Who knew that after returning to the Qin Mansion, he had just washed and lay down, and the voice of the maid replied at the door, "Lord, Mu Gongzi asks to see you." It's going to be in the front room. ”
