"This is the letter from the family of 200 soldiers of my pioneer battalion, and now it is 200 suicide notes!"

Chu Hong lowered her head and said sadly.

"I, Chu Hong, have been in the army for six years and have buried thousands of brothers with my own hands. These two hundred letters were the letters of the soldiers before the war. However, the big war came unexpectedly, and they died on the battlefield before they could send it home. ”

"So-called

The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars.

When I feel the tears, I hate the birds.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. ”

"My brothers, since the day they joined the army. has put life out of the way, until he died on the battlefield, and never took a step back. The youngest was sixteen years old. ”

I, Chu Hong, how can I just be one of them, just lucky to survive. Today, His Majesty has been sealed, and Chu Hong deserves it!

When he begged in Xiliang Kingdom that day, Chu Hong swore an oath. To fulfill the last wish of my two hundred brothers, I will return to my hometown to serve my grandmother for the rest of my life. ”

"Therefore, Your Majesty's reward, please forgive Chu Hongshi for being difficult to accept. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to revoke your order. ”

Chu Hong couldn't afford to bow down in the court at the moment, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Especially Chu Hong's sentence "The family letter is worth 10,000 dollars," made them praise one after another, worthy of being a real man and a real hero.

Even Zhao Heng's hand holding these two hundred family letters trembled slightly, How much does this package weigh more than 10,000 catties!

But at this time, it is really a bit of a loss of face for him to take back his life. It suddenly embarrassed him. The atmosphere of the entire court fell into an extremely embarrassing situation for a while.

"Everyone, I'm ashamed!" Zhao Heng said with a slight emotion.

"We only saw the prosperity and peace of our Zhao country, but we forgot about the tens of millions of soldiers who died on the battlefield. It was they who used their own blood to forge the majestic country of my Great Zhao Kingdom. It was they who made my Great Zhao Kingdom stand tall in this vicissitudes of life. And we forget their efforts.

Where are the two hundred suicide notes that I am holding in my hands at this moment? This is the foundation of my Zhao country, and it is the foundation of my Zhao country to carry the eternal world!"

Speaking of this, His Majesty couldn't cry anymore. The frightened old eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

And the hundred officials in the hall also immediately knelt down and shouted loudly

"Panic!"

"Message, message, message!"

Zhao Heng shouted three times in a row.

"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households verify the soldiers who have died in battle over the years. If there is still a wife and children in the family, the tax exemption is five years. If there are surviving parents, they will be supported by the local government office. In addition, there are military households who serve in the army, the tax is halved, and those who dare to deduct a single plant from it will be decided.

This edict was included in the law of the land, and it could not be changed by future kings. ”

"Obey the order!My Emperor Shengming!My Emperor Shengming!My Emperor Shengming!"

The courtiers fell to their knees and shouted one after another.

"Zhong Aiqing, calm down!" Zhao Heng sat on the dragon chair, seemingly a little tired. Said a little tiredly.

"Chu Aiqing, since you are not in the court, I will not force you. I canonized you as the 'Loyal and Brave Marquis', and gave me the sword for my travels through the mountains and rivers. Can you accept it?"

"Weichen..."Chu Hong was just about to refuse again when he heard Luo Shihong cough lightly. That's when he changed his tune

"Command!"

Zhao Heng saw that Chu Hong had accepted the reward, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking

"You rabbit cub, if you dare to refuse again, my old face will really have no place to rest. ”

At the same time, he looked at his confidant Luo Shihong and thought.

An old fox and a little fox! Today, when this matter spreads, it is estimated that this boy's prestige in the army will rise unprecedentedly! Well! Not only in the army, but also among the people.

Fortunately, I'm not stupid, with this decree, even if I die, he will be called Mingjun one day. ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.

"My sons, if you want to have half the ability of this kid, who do I have to bother with the crown prince?

Just pity my stupid girl, I'm afraid I'm going to have a lot of joy! I wish I would have pulled a few less beards when I came back!"

"I'm a little tired, do you Aiqing still have something to do? If there is nothing to do, let's retreat!"

After saying that, he got up and walked away.

Chu Hong waited for the third father-in-law to rewrap the two hundred suicide notes and solemnly hand them over to himself, and then said thank you. With the courtiers exiting the main hall.

Sure enough, outside the hall at this time. There were already hundreds of officials waiting there, and when Chu Hong came out, they congratulated the Marquis of Chu and handed over their names.

Chu Hong couldn't refuse at this time, so he had to accept them one by one. After a while, there was a pile of heavy names in hand.

When everyone was gone, Luo Shihong and the generals who were familiar with each other stepped forward and said jokingly

"Congratulations to Master Hou!"

Suddenly, the Chu madman looked embarrassed.

"Don't make fun of me, big man. I'm soaking wet on my back now. ”

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed and walked away together.

When he returned to Luo Shihong's mansion, naturally no one dared to intercept him this time.

"Seriously, I pinched a cold sweat for you this time!"

Luo Shihong poured Chu Hong a cup of tea and said again

"It's a shame that you came out, and you actually carried this thing to the court. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of it safely!"

"But this time, you're going to offend some people!"

Luo Shihong chuckled.

"Oh, who did I offend?"

"Who else can there be?" Princess Qingchan!" Cui Heng, who rushed over after hearing the news, said with a narrow smile.

"In other words, this majesty is really important to you, Princess Qingchan is the pearl of your majesty's palm, and the treasure is amazing. If you refuse her this time, I advise you to run away quickly! That aunt and grandmother dare to pull even His Majesty's beard!"

"Tomorrow, I estimate that His Majesty the Emperor will not have a few beards left!"

Luo Shihong thought of that barbaric princess, and now he can't tell how to make a fuss!

Everyone laughed for a while, and finally returned to the topic

"Chu Hong! Our game is temporarily solved, and no one will dare to touch us for the time being.

Are you really going to retire?"

Luo Shihong asked softly.

"Yes, there is one thing I have said in the court today that I am not false, and that is to fulfill the last wishes of these two hundred brothers. Then serve the grandmother.

So, in two days, I was ready to leave the capital. ”

Chu Hong said firmly.

"Well, the situation in the capital is still uncertain at this time. It's a wise move for you to leave. ”

Luo Shihong replied.

"Since you are leaving, there is no need to delay, it is estimated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send you a token and a reward this afternoon. You're leaving tomorrow. Leave the capital quickly, and you don't need to notify us and others, lest anyone will notice. ”

"That's good, it's just that I can't eat Luo Shuai's roast leg of lamb anymore!" Chu Hong said with a smile at this time.

"Okay, don't leave today, I'll bake you again!"

Luo Shihong scolded with a smile and nodded Chu Hong a few times.

At this time, in the imperial study room of the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was chasing Princess Qingchan to apologize. Seeing this, all the palace maids and eunuchs pursed their mouths and retreated.

"Chan'er, Chan'er! This can't be blamed on the emperor! If you have eyes that are not gold-inlaid jade, don't be angry. ”

Princess Qingchan sat on the chair indignantly, with her back to our Emperor Majesty.

"Who wants to marry him? Who wants you to make your own decisions? You just don't love me anymore, you just want to marry me off quickly! Smelly old man, bad old man. I'm going to ignore you anymore!huh!"

Princess Qingchan turned around and grabbed Zhao Heng's beard and pulled it a few times, then turned around again. I don't want to pay attention to Zhao Heng.

"Oops, hey, you light!" Zhao Heng hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Yes, yes, yes, my father is not good, how can my father be willing to marry you? You are the heart of my father!"

At this time, Qingchan was still angry, and she picked up Zhao Heng's favorite pair of jade carving pens and was about to throw it out, but Zhao Heng hurriedly stopped her.

"What's so good about that Chu madman, it's just a border pawn. The man is ugly and dark, who wants to marry him. Even if all the men in the world are dead, I won't look at him more. ”

Xiao Nizi swore a poisonous oath in anger, and her good-looking face was full of redness.

"Yes, yes, otherwise, my father will issue an edict now, arrest him, and cut off his head. How about venting your anger to Chan'er?"

Zhao Heng said with retreat as advance.

"You dare!" As soon as Qingchan heard that her father was going to cut Chu Hong, she immediately said anxiously, for fear that her father would really cut Chu Hong.

Then he reacted and hurriedly remedied

"Father, you don't have to worry about it, I, Zhao Qingchan, have fallen into the country and the city, can't I find Ruyi Langjun. He missed me, and that's his loss. What kind of carefree marquis, I don't want him!"

After speaking, he looked at his father distressedly and said

"Father, I'm sorry, Chan'er was wrong. Chan'er shouldn't grab your beard, Chan'er is no longer willful, Chan'er wants to accompany you and won't go anywhere. ”

Zhao Heng listened to the words of the baby girl, it was very comforting.

"My daughter finally knows how to care about people. It's worthy of his own intimate little padded jacket!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng said with confidence

"Nacheng, Chan'er, you rest first, my father is tired today, so I'll leave first!"

"Yes! Father, walk slowly. ”

After Zhao Heng left, Princess Qingchan grabbed the pen wash unevenly and threw it on the ground.

"Hmph, stinky old man, you can't even do this little thing, I feel sorry for you!"

Then he remembered Chu Hong who he saw behind the curtain of the court hall, and a pair of jade hands were clenched into fists and said fiercely.

"Chu madman, let's see!"

Early the next morning, Chu Hong got up early, washed up briefly, and looked at Luo Dashuai's closed door. I wanted to go up and say hello, but I was a little inexplicably afraid.

Just silently took out the old cigarette stick, slowly stuffed a pot, and took a puff gently. Highlight one smoke ring after another.

At this time, Fang Wei trotted in and whispered

"Brother Chu, you're all ready!"

"Well, Fang Wei, you two have thought about it, do you really want to stay?" Chu Hong nodded lightly, turned around and asked.

"Well, let's think about it, where Brother Chu goes, we will go! There's no point in staying here. ”

Fang Weihan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" After speaking, he strode out of Luofu.

Outside Luofu's study, the housekeeper knocked lightly on the door and said softly outside the door.

"Master, Master Hou, they are already gone!"

"Got it!"

Luo Shihong, who had not slept all night, answered, and there was no movement. The old butler looked at the door, sighed lightly, and went down alone.

Outside the capital, Shili Pavilion.

When Chu Hong and the three of them arrived at this time on horseback, they saw Cui Heng and other generals waiting here in civilian clothes from a distance.

"Brother Chu, look ahead. Niu Gang carried a pair of octagonal gilt hammers on his back and reminded him that this was a gift from Luo Shuai yesterday.

"Brother Chu, let's say goodbye, I don't know when I'll see you again. This glass of wine is like a send-off for a few of our old brothers!"

The eldest general, Old General Zhou, came to Chu Hong gently with a wine glass.

Chu Hong handed the reins to Niu Gang and hurriedly took the wine glass

"Several, let's get along day and night for several years. Chu Hong thanked you for your many cares, and said goodbye here today. We'll meet again one day. If there is anything difficult in the capital, a few people will repair a book, and Chu Hong will help even if there are thousands of difficulties and obstacles. ”

After speaking, he raised his head and drank his drink.

Without looking back, he stepped on the big black horse and rode away. Only a wild voice was left to echo in everyone's ears.

"I am a Chu madman, I entered the army at the age of nine, and I have been in the army for six years.

When he returned to see the Son of Heaven, he did not want to be a concubine, and he did not want to stay in the court, so he took off his armor and returned to his hometown. ”

。。。。。。

At the same time, the Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace

"Your Majesty, Princess Qingchan has left the palace!"

"Well, I know, send out dark guards to protect along the way!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Heng gently put down the folds that he was reviewing and sighed softly.

"It's good to get out! get out of this whirlpool, and come back when everything is calm!"
