The general's wife is sick

Chapter 189 The Sadness of the General [Part 1]

More than 2 sick and crooked men from the Northwest almost took up half a year's military expenditure on the east coast, and they didn't need medicines for their illnesses.

I dislike the fishy smell of sea vegetables and fish soup. The buns are too small and only three bites are just filled. Why is there no meat in the wontons?

In order to appease these people and to prevent these soldiers from dying on their own territory as soon as they arrived, Cheng Rulin had no choice but to recruit a Northwest cook.

The daily military rations decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and every time he saw the money being spent like flowing water, Cheng Rulin's heart sank for a while.

He didn't know how Xiong Jinghai got through these years in the Northwest. During these years as a general, it was the first time he had a deep understanding of what it was like to be anxious, until in the end he would have a headache when he saw a series of sick cases.

Lin Kuxin planned to enter the palace and sent someone to send him to the Palace of Compassion.

Emperor Xuande was bringing the empress to pay his respects in the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The empress dowager heard that it was Cheng Rulin's son from the east coast, so she smiled and said, "Let's put it down first, it's rare for the Ai family to talk to the emperor and empress."

Emperor Xuande looked worried, and the empress looked dignified and gentle, "Don't work too hard, empress dowager, take care of yourself."

"Aijia's health is very good, but the queen should pay more attention to herself."

The Tian family had little family affection, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cared deeply for each other, and Emperor Xuande seemed like an outsider.

"Queen, let's talk with the Queen Mother. I still have important matters to deal with. Queen Mother, I will go back to the Shangqing Pavilion first."

The queen mother waved her hand, "I know the emperor is busy with business, let's go!"

"emperor!"

After leaving the Palace of Compassion, Shen Lin said, "The housekeeper of Prime Minister Zhao's house used insidious means such as coercion and lure to force others to sell their properties in the town, but the papers of the prime minister have not been submitted for a long time."

"Did Zhan Ganpeng write it?"

"Master Zhan wrote it, and the backup was sent to the old slave, but it has not been confirmed yet."

Shen Lin laid out the facts, what did Emperor Xuande not understand, his originally cold face became even uglier, "He dared to withhold the booklet privately!"

Shen Lin pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "Your Majesty, I heard that the wife of Dr. Zhou's family killed an actor who was going to sing an opera in the mansion. The actor was originally invited by Dr. Zhou's mother for her birthday, but the birthday opera that lasted three days was not Let Mr. Zhou have an affair with the Danjiao who sings Tsing Yi, and after Mrs. Zhou found out, she ordered people to sink the actor into the pond."

"As an official of the imperial court but flirting with an actor, the dignified doctor's wife even ignores the law and caress about human life! Where's Zhezi?"

Shen Lin shook his head, "The same is true."

Shangqing Pavilion, the hall door is closed.

Emperor Xuande swept all the items on Long'an under the table, "The queen mother controls the harem, and the prime minister manages the former court. What do they want me to do!"

Fuzi flinched under His Royal Highness holding tea, Shen Lin beckoned him to come forward, put down the hot tea, and waved him out.

"Godfather, I have a brochure from the east coast, do you want to enter?"

"What are you talking about!" Emperor Xuande asked loudly.

Fuzi immediately knelt down on the ground, "Go back to the emperor, there is a book from the east coast outside the door."

When Emperor Xuande heard that it was Cheng Rulin's booklet, the hot tea he had just served was overturned in an instant, "Bastard! The booklet for the Queen Mother is actually earlier than the booklet for me. Is Cheng Rulin trying to rebel!"

The place where Fuzi was kneeling was just not affected by the hot tea, and Shen Lin quickly waved him back.

Emperor Xuande's anger has reached its peak, "Shen Lin!"

"The emperor calms down!" Shen Lin knelt at his feet, "The emperor calms down!"

Two consecutive voices calmed Emperor Xuande's mind in exchange for his rationality. Seeing him panting heavily, Shen Lin showed that he was really angry this time.Taking small steps along the way, he went to the ear room and dug out the gunpowder bombs hidden in the round-bellied double-eared porcelain vase, and brought them to Emperor Xuande.

"Your Majesty! If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess!"

Seeing this little thing, Ji Liu's painting appeared in front of his eyes.

"Shen Lin!" Emperor Xuande's anger turned calm, "Did I really fail?"

"Your majesty, you have no powerful relatives. When the late emperor passed away, there was no decree. You endured humiliation step by step until today. I can only say that in my heart, you are the most sage and capable person in the history books for thousands of years. Emperor! The Empress Dowager and you do not have a blood relationship that is thicker than water, so there has never been a mother-child relationship. Even if the Emperor wholeheartedly serves, the Empress Dowager is as ambitious as the sky, and the prime minister's infidelity is their fault, and has nothing to do with you!"

Shen Lin knelt on the ground, raised the gunpowder with both hands, and replied word by word, sonorously.

He knew Emperor Xuande well, and he was the only one who dared to speak up to dissuade Emperor Xuande when he was furious.

"Get up!"

Sure enough, Emperor Xuande calmed down, and played with the gunpowder bomb model in his hand, "Write a secret letter to urge the Northwest, and let my personally appointed Mrs. Yipin present the latest charcoal drawing!"

"Old slave obeys!"

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the emperor left, and the empress followed suit.

Nanny Jin presented Cheng Rulin's brochure, and the queen mother smiled and took off the armor and handed it to her, "I heard that this time Jinghai sent all his soldiers to the east coast. His strength will definitely increase greatly!"

"The empress dowager is wise!" Nanny Jin's compliment made the empress dowager very happy.

"Come on, let Aijia see..."

The queen mother opened the booklet, and the neat and orderly fonts appeared in front of her eyes, and the smile on the face of the queen mother's delicate makeup disappeared.

The Zhezi flew out in the next second, and Mother Jin was taken aback, shocked in her heart, "Queen Queen, calm down!"

"What a Cheng Rulin!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, "The Ai family gave him 5 horses in vain, and he is so lucky that he dared to compromise and say that the Ai family did not handle this matter properly!"

Nanny Jin knelt down and looked up, "General Cheng speaks like that?"

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, her eyes were sharp and her sharpness was sharp, "He didn't dare to speak out, but he compromised and wrote that after the Northwest Army arrived on the east coast, more than half of them fell ill. Ask Aijia for military expenses!"

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother. People in the north are prone to get sick when they go to the south. What's more, it's the middle of winter, the weather is cold and the climate is not good. It's more than a thousand miles from the northwest to the east coast. It's a normal reaction for people to get sick after a long journey. After all, they No matter how tough they are, they are still ordinary soldiers, not gods." Nanny Jin persuaded pretendingly relaxed, "The Queen Mother doesn't need to get angry with General Cheng over this matter."

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, her original good mood was completely ruined by this note, "At first they were mobilized just to give Guangyang a warning and take advantage of the situation to weaken the emperor's military power, but now thinking about it, it seems that they have done something wrong. "

Nanny Jin knew that the Empress Dowager had regained her senses, so she changed the subject, "You are only doing this for the stability of the court, and you want to come here for a while, and the soldiers in the Northwest will get better after they get used to it."

"Forget it, everyone is here, why are you thinking about other things!" The queen mother sighed, "Let the treasury transfer 800 million taels of silver to the east coast."

As soon as the queen mother's decree came out, Emperor Xuande's Longan suffered another critical blow.

Ji Chengyue Xiumu was writing with Jiang's two children in the Ministry of Etiquette, when he heard that Ji Liu was named a first-class wife by the emperor, his hands froze and the hair in his hand fell straight down.

Jiang Shi appeared in the study with refreshments, "Master, let's rest for a while."

After leaving Ji's mansion, I thought that without the backing of her natal family, Ji Liu's life must be unsatisfactory. Who told him to bend his elbows out and publicize the family's ugliness.

If Ji Liu turned around and begged to come back, he would have to teach him a good lesson. Being by the old lady's side is really too pampering!

But before he could wait, Ji Liu followed Xiong Jinghai to the northwest. What kind of place is the northwest? both.

At the beginning, Ji Chengyue was very happy. Although he was forced to get together, but without Jia Caixia in the house, he could spend the whole day with the beloved and gentle Jiang, and his life was quite comfortable.But after a long time, it is unreasonable that there is no mistress who is the head of the house in the mansion. He always attends the banquet of the other mansion, and he is always alone, a little lonely.

And Jiang Shi is not bad in bed, but if he really wants to take him out, the world will say that he has no courtesy, justice and shame, and spoils his little concubine to the lawlessness.

It's time for another mistress in this house.

"Master, the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Master both have letters." Jiang shi took out the letter from the tea tray with a graceful figure.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Ji Chengyue took the letter in Jiang's hand, feeling happy in her heart.

The emperor didn't punish him heavily for the Jia family's participation in his separation from Jia Caixia, and he was inseparable from Ji Qingyun and Ji Zhanpeng.

His two sons are both among the top [-] Jinshi scholars, and they are the future pillars of the imperial court!

"The two of them are good outside. Qingyun and Zhanpeng are young. They took advantage of their youth to practice abroad for two years and then returned to the capital to become officials. This is the case for many descendants of aristocratic families." Ji Chengyue said to Jiang with a smile.

Jiang's smile is like a flower, she was born with a charming look, but after deliberately dressing up, this kind of charm is even more touching. At this time, she is quite envious and said to Ji Chengyue, "Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are really dragons among men. It will definitely be highly valued by the emperor, our daughter and Shuang'er have such two elder brothers, and they will surely find a good marriage in the future."

"They are still young, don't worry." Ji Chengyue did not agree with Jiang's words, on the one hand he knew that his marriage with Jia Caixia belonged to the right family, but he did not benefit much from this marriage.

On the contrary, because Jia Caixia's family status was similar to his, he was restrained everywhere in his life. Even if he wanted to bring a concubine into the room, he had to look at her face, so he felt inferior to the two children he really loved. Marriage may be the best choice.

"A good marriage doesn't care how high the other's family is, as long as the husband and wife live in harmony and respect each other as guests, that's fine."

Jiang's complexion froze. Hearing the meaning of Ji Chengyue's words, her daughter and Shuang'er would not be able to marry into a wealthy family. She asked anxiously, "But what did the concubine do wrong to make the master blame the concubine?" body?"

"how you said that?"

"The concubine thinks that the woman and the twins can only rely on her husband's family for the rest of their lives. If they don't marry and become taller, they will definitely be looked down upon."

"Shallow!" Ji Chengyue felt that her words were a bit mundane, but after thinking about her background and the grievances she had suffered in the past three years, she felt that she was just a reaction after being frightened, so she said slowly, "Don't think too much." Many, they are still young, when they are older, I promise you, I will let them have a good home."

Jiang showed a smiling face, "Thank you, Master!"

In the early morning of the second day, the Jiang family heard the news from the servant girl who served beside him, "Aunt Jiang, the servant girl heard that when the master went out this morning, he went to Aunt Zhou's house. Listening to the reply there, it seems that the master wants to Marry another one to fill in the house as the mistress."

"Master wants to continue?" Jiang's face turned pale with shock. Didn't he go well yesterday, why did he suddenly decide to continue?
