Cruel, so cruel.
How could he do such a cruel thing?
However, for Emperor Jingyuan, the only prince he could care about was Chu Qianyuan, the queen's son. Unfortunately, Brother Yuan was already dead.
As for Dun Geer, the eighth prince born to Concubine Yi, perhaps Emperor Jingyuan had some father-son affection for him, but he mostly used him to warn the older princes.
Let them know that he is more than just their older sons. If they are disobedient, he can train a younger one to succeed him.
Meng Shuyu felt very sad. After returning to her residence, she cried profusely.
After crying, he called the female official and packed up a festival gift in person, explaining: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I begged the Queen Mother for her grace, and the queen mother promised me that I can send the festival gift back to my parents' home. That's it, you Do it carefully and send the gift back to the Meng family tomorrow."
The female officer bowed and responded: "Yes."
It is not easy for a concubine to send gifts back to her parents' home. She has to ask for grace and report before she can send things out of the palace.
Meng Shuyu was favored by the Queen Mother, so she was able to successfully deliver the gift to the British government the next day.
A few years have passed, and the British Duke's mansion has become much worse than before. It still looks majestic and solemn from the outside, but once you enter the mansion, you can see mottled marks everywhere. This means that there is no money left to repair the mansion.
The female official came from the British government, and it was uncomfortable to see the British government in such a situation.
Concubine Yu is back with a gift?! Meng Shuyus parents were very happy and met the female official in person.
The female official saluted them: "In reply to the words of the eldest sir and madam, the Queen Mother has given grace, allowing Concubine Yu to send the festival gifts back to her parents' home."
Mrs. Meng's wife was extremely happy: "The Queen Mother is indeed thinking about the old relationship. It is right for us to let the Queen Mother take the path of the Queen Mother. I guess it won't be long before Concubine Yu can be as favored as the one from the Ran family and give birth to a prince."
But not long after she was happy, Meng Shuyu's father found a letter written by Concubine Yu from the Boxing Ceremony. After the couple read the letter, they burst into tears and cursed the old British husband: "Bad idea, it's all a bad idea from a dead old man... It's over." , the Meng family is finished!"
The British government did not celebrate because the concubine sent a festive gift to her parents' family. Instead, they cried and made a fuss, as if someone had died in the family.
The old British man was already ill in bed. After reading the letter sent by Concubine Yu, he regretted it...but what he regretted was not betraying Wei Guogong's lineage, but regretting that he had been good friends with Wei Guogong and regretted Meng Shuyu. I once got engaged to Wei Erlang!
But it is too late to regret it. Now if the British government wants to rise again, it must find another backer.
But who can they turn to?
The emperor has been treating the British government as if there is no such thing for the past few years, and he will not let his concubine get pregnant. Who dares to help such a government?
But the old British Duke is not convinced. His British Duke's government has made great contributions to Chu, but now the Chu family wants to do this to his family. No, he won't agree!
The old British Duke wanted to find a way out for the British government like crazy. He actually sent someone to inquire about the sons of the Xu You family, as if he wanted to marry the Xu You family.
Emperor Jingyuan has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the British Duke's family to prevent the British Duke's contact with people from Wei Guogong's line. However, after several years of watching, he failed to use the British Duke's government to find any surviving people from Wei Guogong's line. Get this information.
"Idiot!" Emperor Jingyuan cursed, but he felt that scolding such an idiot was unnecessary.
However, Emperor Jingyuan continued to keep people watching the British government, just in case.
In the next few days, Emperor Jingyuan was secretly discussing something with Ming Cong and the others. On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he finally agreed to Xu Youxian's request to stop fighting and recuperate.
At the same time, he issued several decrees.
The other is an imperial edict to confer the title of Xu Youweizhonghou of Chu, granting him an iron coupon with an alchemy book, which can be hereditary and irreplaceable.
Now is not the time for the founding of the country. It is extremely rare to obtain a hereditary and irreplaceable title. But this is the title...Zhongchuhou, it would be fine if Xu You didn't have any objections, but if he did, the word "Zhongchu" would be disgusting.
However, the ministers still praised the sage of Emperor Jingyuan and rewarded the ministers with meritorious services.
One of them was Qi Yi, who had been demoted by him, and he was appointed as the magistrate of Long'an Prefecture.
This appointment may seem like nothing, but Qi Yi is a confidant of Emperor Jingyuan. He sent him to Long'an Mansion as a co-inspector. It can be seen that he is required to keep an eye on General Xu. Once Xu You shows signs of rebellion, Qi Yi can immediately give him to him. He delivers news.
One is to confer general Cheng as the second-grade general of Zhenxi and assist Xu You in guarding the Daokougou camp.
With this decree, anyone with a brain would know that Emperor Jingyuan was really afraid that Xu You would rebel, and wanted to support a general in Zhenxi to divide Xu You's military power.
However, General Cheng is indeed very capable. Now Da Chu and the Rong bandits are still facing each other in Daokou Gou. Putting such capable generals in the Daokou Gou camp, even Xu You can't find anything to say.
The following imperial edicts were for the canonization of generals such as General Dai.
As for those who have made meritorious services, such as Qianhu, Baihu, and General Banner, there is no imperial edict. The Ministry of War writes a letter of appointment, stamps it, and issues it directly.
The fact that Qin Sanlang was promoted to Qianhu Clerk was included in many appointment letters.
All the ministers were shocked. Is the emperor crazy again?
This Qin Sanlang was the man who killed the generals of the Rong thief royal family. He accomplished such a great feat, but he was only allowed to be a member of a thousand households?
But no one would say anything. After all, Qin Sanlang was a mud-legged man, and they didn't want the mud-legged man to climb up and compete with their younger brothers for seats.
Emperor Jingyuan not only promoted Qin Sanlang to a thousand households, but also personally asked Dai Shangshu to assign him to Mu County to guard the first line of defense with Xu You's veterans.
Daokou Gou is located in Mu County, which is followed by Cunning County, Gaoshui County and Shuohe County.
As a former Baihu in the south, even if Qin Sanlang made great achievements, logically speaking, due to his lack of experience, he would only be placed on the second and third lines of defense to practice.
He went to Mu County from the beginning and pierced Xu You's many confidants and veterans like a knife. This... Did Emperor Jingyuan want Qin Sanlang to guard against Xu You, or did he want Qin Sanlang to join Xu You?
This is a difficult problem.
If the mud-legged man is not handled well, it is estimated that both sides will be displeased and will be killed by Xu You and Emperor Jingyuan at the same time.
However, the ministers did not care about Qin Sanlang's life and death, but Qi Yi did.
Qi Yi learned the news not long after receiving the imperial edict. He frowned and sighed: "You want to employ people, but you also make things difficult for them, so you can't treat them sincerely?"
Mrs. Qi knew that he was talking about Emperor Jingyuan, and said worriedly: "Husband, please don't say this again, or you will get hurt again."
Qi Yi looked at Mrs. Qi and saw tears in her eyes, and said guiltily: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Don't worry, Ashu."
Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Originally I wanted to take you to the south, but this time I am going to make Ashu suffer by going to the northwest with me."
Mrs. Qi shook her head: "No matter where we go, we just need to stay together as a family."
Since Qi Yi was beaten by Emperor Jing Yuan last time, Qi Yi and his wife decided to leave the capital as a family. No matter where they go, they must leave the capital!
He smiled again and said: "And we are going back to the northwest. We have spent many years in the northwest. Now we are back to our hometown. It is a blessing."
Qi Yi nodded: "It is indeed a blessing. You don't know it yet, but the man Qin Sanlang who killed the general was the husband of the second girl of the Gu family. It was the second girl of the Gu family who he met when he was fleeing the famine, and who saved our son. "
