Chapter 226: Visit

The emperor made a move, and Hongzhou, which had been blocked, was like a flood that had been opened by the floodgates, and countless messages came, directly smashing the imperial court.

The ministers were stunned, it had been nearly a month since the Chu State had attacked, and they had only received the news, because the news was lagging behind, and they didn't know that Zhong Ruying's official document had been intercepted.

So the next day, there were snowflakes-like folds flying towards the emperor, all of which were impeached for Zhong Ruying for concealing the military situation and not reporting it, so angry that the emperor smashed the cup in the court.

Only then did everyone know that all the news that Zhong Ruying had passed out had been intercepted, and Hongzhou had cut off contact with the outside world for nearly a month, which also involved the Lin family, the Shang family, the Lu family's children and the son of Suzhou Thorn Shi Zhou Cong.

It's quiet.

Zhong Ruying concealed the military situation or neglected his duties, and someone intercepted the border emergency report, which was like a rebellion, and the nature was not the same at all.

The most important thing is who will intercept the news of Hongzhou? Who has what it takes?

The combination of the two, a slap that meets this condition can be counted, no matter who it is, they can scold it casually, so everyone is silent and decides to wait until the facts are clear.

Nowadays, it is still important to fight wars.

The emperor's birthday is coming, and the country is still at war when he celebrates his birthday, so what joy is there?

Therefore, up to the six Shangshu, down to the officials of the various ministries and halls, they all said that they wanted to kill the Chu State.

Although the head of the household department was poor, he still gritted his teeth and said: "The ministers will order officials from all over the country to raise military rations. ”

The military department Shangshu also said: "You can transfer troops from Lingzhou and Jiangnan to support General Zhong......"

The Ministry of Works says their newly improved trebuchet is ready for use......

The emperor's face looked a little better, and he handed over the fold that Lin Qingwan had made up later, and asked him to show it to the ministers below, "Zhou Aiqing, the assassin of Suzhou, has already prepared a part of the grain and grass, and the lord of Lin County is willing to donate all the new grain harvested this summer and the remaining part of last year's grain to the treasury, so this first batch of grain and grass is almost enough." ”

The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and now the grain and grass are ready, and they will be able to set off from Suzhou to Hongzhou in the near future, and the reinforcements can also start to move.

Both the military department and the household department are happy in their hearts, they like people like Lin County Lord the most.

The other ministers were a little bitter in their mouths, and said sourly in their hearts: Why do the people of the Lin family love to donate things, is this endless?

However, Lin Qingwan, a weak woman, donated it, and the other ministers took out some of it regardless of whether they wanted to.

The emperor didn't mean to ask them to donate things, of course, if they donated, he would also pull the corners of his mouth to express joy, and he threw out Lin Qingwan's fold just to tell them.

Even a county lord like Lin Qingwan, who is not in the wilderness, knows that the border war is important, what are you arguing about at this time?

The tradition left by the first emperor and Lin Ying is that once you encounter a foreign enemy, nothing is more important than resisting the enemy.

Therefore, although the emperor was eager to pull out the people behind him and beat him, he still had to hold back the fire and save Hongzhou first.

At the same time, the imperial court also selected officials to envoy to the state of Chu, although the state of Chu has been heavily attacked, but the emperor wants to have a good life, if he can say peace, he will say peace, and if he can't say peace, he will delay time, even if he can't delay time, it is okay to take the opportunity to scold Emperor Chu.

Lin Qingwan entered the palace again, and the emperor and empress had a much gentler attitude towards her than last time, although they didn't know what they thought in their hearts, but at least they maintained peace with each other.

Lin Qingwan relieved herself and began to open the door to entertain guests and go out to visit.

The first place they wanted to go was the Xie family.

Even if she has returned to the sect, "she" is still Xie Yiming's wife!

Mrs. Xie stayed in the county lord's mansion for two days, and helped her arrange all the things in the inner courtyard before returning home.

Before Lin Qingwan didn't come to the door, it could be said that she had just arrived in the capital to settle down, but now that she has settled down, she naturally wants to go to the Xie family to meet her.

This time, Lin Qingwan didn't bring Lin Yubin.

In Lin Qingwan's words, "Except for Mrs. Xie, the rest of the Xie family doesn't have to have deep friendships, you have been frightened a lot recently, just rest at home." ”

Lin Yubin knew that her aunt was still minding her uncle's death, and she really didn't like the Xie family, so she nodded and agreed.

Xie Yan didn't dare to despise his daughter-in-law, and after receiving her post, he asked for leave at home a day in advance, and even his father Xie Hong didn't go to work that day.

Mrs. Xie even waited in full disguise, Xie Yiyang and his wife Li didn't expect the family to attach so much importance to Lin Qingwan, and they were a little stunned for a while.

And Xie Xing and Xie Xuan, who were still young, only knew that there were important guests coming to the house today, and they finally didn't have to read and write, and they were very happy.

Xie Xuan is still by Mrs. Xie's side, and now he relies on Mrs. Xie very much.

But Mrs. Xie obviously didn't pay much attention to him today, and when she saw him, her face was indifferent, but she still kept her by her side.

Because the Li family is by her side.

Li looked at her son who was snuggled up to Mrs. Xie, her heart twitched, although she had already given up on this son, and she took the initiative to distance herself from him, but this did not mean that she could watch him indifferently and get close to Mrs. Xie.

It was a child she gave birth to after she was pregnant in October, and she had been carrying it for four years.

Li couldn't help but glance at Xie Xuan again, pursed her lips and brought tea to Mrs. Xie, she always felt that they were a little closer than before, could it be that this crazy woman tortured Xuan'er?

Mrs. Xie glanced at her expression, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she got up and walked forward, "Let's go, Sister Wan is almost there." ”

Lin Qingwan came to visit on time, and the two sides were stunned for a moment when they met, and then Xie Hong took the Xie family to salute first, Lin Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and curtled her knees and returned half a salute.

At this moment, she really likes the identity of the county lord.

Xie Hong and Xie Yan saw her standing and receiving the full salute, their eyes darkened slightly, Xie Hong sighed in his heart, and glanced at the happy Mrs. Xie, in the end, there was a rift, but I was afraid that it would be difficult to make up for it.

The group moved to the flower hall, you ask about the physical condition, I will talk about the agricultural mulberry crops, it is also a joy to look at it from a distance, but this is not like seeing a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, but like seeing a distinguished guest of the same generation.

This is not at all the same as the meeting scene imagined by Xie Hong and Xie Yan, but the tone was set from the beginning of the meeting.

Lin Qingwan accepted all of them, but only half of the salute was returned, obviously to abide by the royal etiquette, so they could only bow their backs.

This is the Xie family's mistake, in order to show their importance to Lin Qingwan, Xie Hong and Xie Yan stood in front of the flower hall to greet each other, but they didn't expect Lin Qingwan to take the lead.

Seeing that Lin Qingwan was polite, but only expressed his closeness to Mrs. Xie alone, and after talking for a long time, he still looked indifferent and polite, Xie Hong knew that it was impossible to maintain the closeness of the Xie Lin family as before.

He found an excuse to leave, leaving the battlefield to his son.

It was all his son's trouble, and he naturally left it to him to solve.
