After a day's rest, the family finally sat down for breakfast.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten with everyone!" Li Mingren couldn't help but sigh, he only felt that this day was too happy at the moment.

Wang: "It's okay for everyone to be fine, I just want the family to be safe and secure together." ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Mother, it will be." ”

"Brother-in-law, is there any news from Motong County?" Zhao Yuncheng was concerned about the battle situation at the border pass.

Li Mingren nodded: "I received good news in the morning, General Fang has recovered Motong County, and is resting his team to attack the Northern Desert." Zhang Qing was arrested by the people of the Zheng Governor's Mansion long before General Fang, and now he has been escorted to the government office. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "It seems that this Zheng Governor's Mansion is going to take a share of the credit, and General Fang is preparing to go to war?" ”

Li Mingren nodded: "That person from Governor Zheng's mansion, don't talk about it." Yes, Chengping stirred up the Northern Desert to bully him, and he couldn't get out of this breath if he didn't fight it, and he sent General Fang over to take advantage of the civil strife in the Northern Desert to take it in one fell swoop. ”

But everyone is worried about the upcoming war, and after a battle, everyone is already afraid.

Zhao Yuncheng wanted to say something, but Li Mingren preemptively said: "Don't worry too much, now Motong County is under the control of General Fang, and the border pass is also heavily guarded, now what we have to do is to quickly recover and do a good job in the logistics of the rear of the army at any time." After that, he turned to Zhao Yuncheng: "During this time, you will rest at home and accompany your sister." ”

Zhao Yuncheng looked at his brother-in-law's serious appearance, so he had to nod and respond.

Li Mingren looked at Zhao Yunlan: "By the way, if you don't open the city gate these days, don't run outside the city, your school is not in a hurry to start school first, after a battle, the smell of blood outside the city is a bit heavy, wait for it to disperse!" ”

"Well, let's rest for a few days."

The next day, a heavy rain washed away all the stains on the ground, and now there was only the smell of earth in the air. There was no news of a war coming from Motong County, and on the third day, order gradually returned to Shiyang County.

Li Mingren went to the yamen early in the morning, and Chen Yiqing was already sitting in his position, frowning and looking at the booklet in front of him.

"What are you worried about?"

Chen Yiqing watched Li Mingren come in, immediately got up, picked up the booklet in his hand and handed it over.

"This is the list of the wounded, we are going to comfort the wounded today, and now there is no silver in the warehouse! And the people who spontaneously joined the city protector, it is time to express it! ”

As soon as he mentioned the silver, his head was big, and Li Mingren couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Hey, the treasury has been looted after this battle, and I'm still worried that General Fang's side will mobilize materials when the war starts, hey~ Okay, let's go and comfort the wounded soldiers today!" ”

Chen Yiqing: "Then this silver ......"

Li Mingren was a little helpless: "I'll take care of it here, you keep the accounts, and remember to pay me back when the time comes." ”

Chen Yiqing: "This~ okay!" ”

Li Mingren sent Ye Sheng back to Zhao Yunlan to get some money, Ye Sheng said the reason, and Zhao Yunlan asked Chunxiang to get the money out.

Li Mingren and Chen Yiqing were running outside for an afternoon, and the wounded who were seriously injured that day could be regarded as saving their lives, but there would be some inconvenience in life in the future, so Li Mingren could only give everyone more consolation money and try to arrange the days ahead. Other people with minor injuries are already able to move freely and can return to normal life in a few days.

Cao Yingfa didn't follow, because he was still recuperating in the past few days, and he had been pulling the bow and shooting arrows that day, and he may have been tense at the beginning and didn't find his arm uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that his arm couldn't be lifted at all on the second day, and he couldn't move because of his back pain.

The two returned to the yamen, and Li Mingren saw that a box of copper coins had bottomed out, and said, "Summoning those people tomorrow!" Because the war has been delayed for so long, it is time for us to build this road. ”

Chen Yiqing: "This has just experienced the war, and the border is not stable, can they pay for it!" ”

Li Mingren frowned, didn't know what he was thinking, and waited for a while before saying, "Hey, then wait a little longer!" ”

Since the war began, the people in the city have become very cautious, and no one has come out to make trouble, and almost no one has come out on the day of the market.

As a result, the yamen was also very clean, and everything could not be carried out, and Li Mingren was forced to enter a state of semi-vacation.

On this day, Li Mingren walked around the yamen and went back to the backyard of the county yamen to see his daughter. Ye Sheng came back from outside, holding a letter in his hand.

"Master, there's a letter from the capital!" Li Mingren handed over the Qing'er in his arms to Cui Mama beside him and took the letter.

"There are two letters!" Li Mingren looked at it, and the other one was sent to Yun Lan, and then he took the letter and walked to the study.

"Yunlan, the second brother sent you a letter." Li Mingren handed a letter in his hand to Zhao Yunlan, and the one in his hand was sent by Zhou Hanwen.

The couple sat down together and quietly looked at the letter in their hands, and after reading it, they looked at each other.

Li Mingren said: "What did the second brother say? ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Hello to us, saying that there was some small turmoil in the capital a while ago, and the business was closed for a few days, but now the business has recovered and is on the right track, and the second brother plans to go back to Lijia Village to take care of his father for a while." The business in the capital is also assured to be taken care of by Jixiang, and now Zhao Jixiang is becoming more and more presentable as a shopkeeper. ”

"What's wrong with Daddy? I said why I haven't received a letter from my father for so long. Li Mingren asked.

Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but give Li Mingren a roll of his eyes and said, "Dad is fine, just because you haven't received the letter doesn't mean that your mother hasn't received it." Mingyi probably thinks that it is a little difficult for his father to take care of the family at home, a younger brother in the family is still studying, and a younger sister is still in the boudoir, no matter how capable the younger brother and sister are, they don't have so much energy, and the family is now supported by their father. ”

Li Mingren nodded and continued: "The turmoil in the capital that the second brother said should be the arrest of Chengping. As soon as Chengping arrived in the capital, he was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army, and there was also the support of the Zhenxi Army, so he was really waiting for him to enter the urn. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "What about the second prince?" ”

Li Mingren's voice was lowered and said: "It is said that a companion is like a tiger, and the royal family affection is like the depth of the sea!" The emperor has long known that the second prince is unruly, so these two princes can be regarded as the last whetstone left for the crown prince. It's just that everyone who didn't have time to let Cheng Ping stab him know about it, and it can be regarded as leaving a way back for the second prince.

Except for the second prince, the other princes all left the capital with fiefdoms, and the second prince was abolished, his status was demoted to a commoner, and he was not allowed to set foot in the capital all day long. Concubine Hui was punished to Qinghua Temple to pray for the blessings of the people for life, and could not step out of the temple again. The family was exiled, and he should have been exiled to the south. ”

Zhao Yunlan: "Rebellion is not the ......"

Li Mingren: "Maybe this is the little bit of father-son relationship that the emperor wants to maintain." The prince also interceded. ”

"This matter is in the past, hey~"

Li Mingren: "The matter of starting a family is over, just waiting for the border pass to subside." ”

"I've almost forgotten that there is still a mess of things in the Northern Desert."
