Chapter 1148 Today is not a good day!
Especially when the general's wife heard the noise and came to check, she turned around and went back, leading the maids and maids to organize the situation.
Hold military power and look majestic, but in fact, you have to be careful in your actions, otherwise you will be labeled as disrespectful and treasonous.
At this time, I am afraid that the entire southwest is looking at the palace, and it must be done to perfection.
Not only should the home be plain, but mourning clothes and even items of worship should be prepared.
Even if you can't go to the palace to mourn, you still have to kneel at your own home!
The military advisor was going to Beijing today. Hearing these words, he looked at each other and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The queen is dead. The third princess must not be pregnant during her filial period. That would be extremely unfilial.
In this way, even if the prince is really in danger, there is no need to rush to the rescue, at least it can delay for more than half a year.
The two men called the messengers to come forward and inquire about some details carefully.
The messenger didn't hide anything and told him all the news he knew.
Finally, he took the reward and left.
General Lu and his military advisor counted the days and hurriedly sent them here for 800 miles. It was already the third day that the queen was crying.
The military advisor said, "General, I'd better go to the new capital a little later. The queen has passed away, and everyone in the new capital has to live peacefully, and I'm afraid there won't be any big trouble."
The old general shook his head, "You'd better go there, I don't feel confident."
The military advisor was still talking, but there was another noise outside the courtyard gate, which made both him and the old general frown.
Have you done something wrong this day? Why can’t the door be closed?
The busy and exhausted chief steward appeared again, followed not by an orderly, but by a steward in a green robe and a small hat.
As soon as the butler stepped forward, he said, "General, Mr. Li, the magistrate of Fengshan County, sent someone to report the news!"
After saying that, he stood sideways and stood vaguely between the visitor and the general.
This is a loyal man.
It’s not that he didn’t fully trust the visitor and was prepared to prevent his master from being harmed.
The steward in the green hat smiled, showing his white teeth, and he looked very young.
He showed a jade pendant that Li Jiaren wore around his waist when he came to visit yesterday.
This proved his identity, and then he said, "Well, Old General Lu, our Lords rushed back to Fengshan last night, but encountered the Maitreya Cult who coerced the people into rioting and attacked the county town with the intention of grabbing food. Our Lords specially sent me I came to deliver a message, asking the old general to take more precautions, fearing that chaos is coming."
What? !
General Lu and the military advisor were both startled.
General Lu quickly asked, "Is Mr. Li injured? How is Fengshan County now?"
The steward in green hat smiled and responded, "Thank you for your concern, General. We, adults, have learned some self-defense skills since childhood. It happened that the men we brought with us were also members of our caravan. The men of the caravan were selected by the Marquis for the princess. A veteran, a good player who blocks ten from one.
"So, we adults were not injured. We even cooperated with the city's defense camp and completely shattered the track of Maitreya Cult. We adults even chopped off the arm of the leader of Maitreya Church with our own hands!"
Obviously, the steward saw it with his own eyes last night, and his eyes were still shining with excitement when he talked about it now.
He held a letter in both hands and said, "This is our lord's handwriting. The details are in it. Please take a look at it, the old general."
The chief steward quickly took the letter and held it in front of the general.
The general opened it and looked at it with the military advisor. Neither of them spoke for a long time.
I thought that after yesterday’s visit, they had already taken a high look at Li Jiaren.
Unexpectedly, this young man, a small county magistrate who has been in office for half a year, is still so brave and generous!
They don’t know anything about Maitreya Cult.
If Li Jiaren does not warn and takes precautions, and the border gate is opened, then the entire Tianwu family will be in danger, and the Lu family will have to wash their necks and wait for death!
Old General Lu sighed. Although he cursed his son for getting into trouble, he was still a little unconvinced in his heart. Now, this bit of dissatisfaction has completely dissipated.
If you are not as good as others, you are not as good as others!
“This little brother, thank you sir on my behalf when you get back. I will definitely come to thank you in person the next day.”
“You’re welcome, old general!” The steward in Qingyi saluted and didn’t stop for much, turning around to leave.
The housekeeper also saw that he was here to help, so he hurriedly said, "Brother, stay and have a bowl of some noodles. The journey back is not short."
The steward refused, and responded, "Our Lord is gathering the people nearby. It's very busy in and outside the city. I have to go back to help. Thank you for your kindness, steward. I will try the skills of your cook again if I have the opportunity in the future."
The military advisor listened to them and walked out of the courtyard, "General, I really can't enter the capital right now."
The old general nodded, "The incident happened unexpectedly, and the safety of the border is our priority."
The two of them got together and began to discuss countermeasures.
Then General Lu went to the military camp again to gather the generals to discuss matters...
Let’s not talk about the impending chaos in the southwest, but just talk about Xindu. Mrs. Li and Jiayin enter the palace every day, usually kneeling for a while to make a show, and then go into the side hall.
The good news was copied, the three princesses ate fruits together, and Mrs. Li took a rest.
Occasionally, the prince would bring the little fox over and talk.
So, neither the grandfather nor the grandson suffered much.
Thanks to their blessing, the other elderly married women also received preferential treatment.
Although you still have to kneel, you are in a side hall with an ice basin and tea.
But those young married women were unlucky.
In such weather, you have to wear layers of mourning clothes and wipe your eyes with a handkerchief from time to time to make you look sad.
Except for half an hour's rest at noon, one kneels down for a whole day.
Almost every day, pregnant women are carried down and suffer from heatstroke!
One lucky person actually found out that she was pregnant, and was pardoned by the third princess and sent home to rest.
For a moment, I don’t know how many people were secretly gritting their teeth in jealousy!
Similarly, this is also a good time for the prince to win people's hearts.
Among the civil and military officials kneeling in the square, the elderly ministers also changed their places so that they did not have to be exposed to the sun.
Old Mrs. Liu was among them, and Mr. Li and Mr. Wen were also called away by the young eunuch, who called them to mobilize manpower to help the Ministry of Rites arrange the funeral.
Only Liu Zhiheng, who was in charge of the crops, was left behind, and he was getting darker and darker day by day...
Far away at the border gate in the north of the Yangtze River, in the camp of the border guard army.
Wei Erniu was helping the Marquis put on his armor with his own hands. He blamed himself very much. If he hadn't saved him earlier, the Marquis would not have been injured.
Although the wound medicine at home is the best in the world, after a few days of treatment, the Marquis’s wound has scabbed over.
But the blood loss was too much, and it cannot be made up in a short while.
Mr. Hou's face is pale and he looks a bit weak no matter how he looks at it.
He couldn't help but want to persuade him, but before he could speak, Li Laosi and Jiang Cheng walked in.
Jiang Cheng became anxious when he saw Lord Hou like this.
"Master Marquis, you are just a little older, are you going to go on an expedition now? No way!"
The Marquis waved his hand and replied, "Don't wait for anyone during the war. We will win the battle quickly. After we have completely recovered Jiangbei, we will have a lot of time to recuperate."
