1067 Chapter 1067-preparing for war
In addition to the Imperial edict brought by the eunuch, Xue Qianyu also had letters from the Grand Empress Dowager to Grandpa and Grandma Gu, as well as a letter from the Emperor to Gu shouxin.
The Empress Dowager’s letter was just a daily concern. She expressed that she was in good health and that she could walk around the palace once a day after eating the health Pills made by Gu Xin. She also told Grandpa Gu not to worry and that she would wait for them in the capital for their return. In the future, she would ask Grandpa Gu to take care of her when she’s old.
The Grand Empress Dowager also said,”I’ve raised you for ten years when you were young, and you’ve raised me for ten years when I’m old. In this life, we must fulfill our mother and son relationship.”
Grandpa Gu’s eyes were wet with tears.
In the past, he had hated the injustice of fate. It was not that he wanted to be the Crown Prince or Emperor, but he hated fate for making him leave the capital.
From birth to the age of ten, although his twin brother had not grown up in the Imperial Palace, he had lived in the capital. When he left the palace, he had been taken away from the capital.
Now that he was so old, that hatred had long disappeared. He didn’t even care about the people who hunted him down in the past. His twin brother had already died. If he still cared about it, it would be difficult for him.
The emperor’s letter to Gu shouxin was much more amusing. The emperor’s words were all for Gu shouxin to work hard and make contributions. He would start with reading, and later on, Xin Xin, en, Zi, and Si si would bear with it one by one. They would all be conferred the titles of junzhu, Junwang, or something. Anyway, one credit was just a matter of his words.
As for Huihui, the Emperor had said that Huihui had to go to the military camp herself. She had no choice but to gain military merits. Therefore, Huihui had to work hard to become the first female general during his reign.
The position of general of the Peng family’s first wife was conferred by the late Emperor, so it did not count as his.
The Emperor also mentioned uncle Gu and fourth uncle Gu, asking uncle Gu to focus on production. When the time came, he would be given the title of ” uncle ” or something, and then slowly be promoted.
It was more troublesome for fourth uncle Gu. It was not easy to seal the Carpenter’s work. It was okay. Now that Grandpa Gu had a title of nobility, he could inherit it!
As for Gu shouxin, the Emperor had clearly said that if you develop kun city, I will give you the title of King Kun, okay?
Gu shouxin’s forehead kept twitching as he watched. Fortunately, the Yamen is opened by your family, you can seal it if you want!
This time, in addition to imperial edicts and letters, there were also people sent over. The Emperor greatly supported Gu Nian’s research.
Gu nianlong had arranged for people to build a residence outside the city. It was very easy to arrange for this group of people.
By may at most, the road from kun city to the prefecture capital would be fully renovated. By then, it would be more convenient to transport supplies.
She also had a plan in her heart. She would get someone to go to the prefecture to find some craftsmen. The conditions she offered were quite good.
Now that the main road had been repaired, it wouldn’t take that long to get from kun city to the prefecture. It would take five days at most, but if they rode fast, it would only take two to three days.
In the afternoon, Xue Qianyu went to report to general Peng. This time, he did not come to compete with Lu Zheng as the Emperor had said. Instead, he was here to lead the Army.
The southern border faced the sea in the South, bordered the Jinnan country in the West, and was only separated from the great Zhou Dynasty and kunzhou by a mountain on the back. The eastern border neighbored the Qing and Dingzhou provinces.
Yan Mo was in charge of Qingzhou, so there had to be people in kunzhou as well.
Xue Qianyu’s mission was to lead the troops to guard the border between kun state and the southern border. Usually, there were only a few Peng family Army troops guarding the border.
The Emperor had become more ambitious in the past two years, mainly because the southern border had tried to use the beauty to control the great Zhou, which made the Emperor angry. After more than a year of planning, he was planning to go to war.
