Poor family mother and son

Chapter 874

It stands to reason that even though Chu Qing was not a general appointed by the emperor, he also issued a military order to go to war.

This was the first frontal battle between Daxuan and Voss. Chu Qing defeated King Voss' 2000 horses with only 6 vanguard troops.

Based on such achievements, even if the emperor did not greet him in person, at least he would send envoys out of the city to greet him as a show of condolence.

It's a pity that Chu Qing didn't get this kind of treatment.

On the contrary, it was Hu Hengqiu, the leader who Chu Qing thought was lost at the critical moment, and came to greet him with a few secret investigation officers, but right now, Chu Qing hadn't seen him yet.

Hu Hengqiu continued to paste it on the wall as a photo, and only stared at it from a distance, so that Chu Qing's glory could last longer, so that this woman might not be too chilling.

Chu Qing's heart was warm.

Her heart will not be easily cold, at least not to the common people, because she considers herself a member of the common people, not a member of the officials.

The crowd suddenly became chaotic.

There was a large group of people, men and women, old and young, the young supported the old, the old led the young, and led by a middle-aged strong man, squeezed through the crowd and stopped the Chuqing convoy In front of.

Xiangzi raised his breath and was about to ask who was coming, but the leading strong man turned around to support the oldest old man, stepped forward, and knelt in the street.

Immediately, all the old and young people behind him knelt down, and the old man said loudly: "Chu Shanren! I am from Shiya Village, Ronglai County," and pointed to the strong man: "This is the eldest son of the old man." People behind: "These are villagers from several nearby villages."

After the introduction, the old man said: "The earthquake in Ronglai County hit our villages the most severely... If you hadn't sent someone to send us food and clothing..."

Chu Qing didn't understand, so he got off the horse and was about to help the old man up, Xiangzi gave him a wink, and eight female guards stepped forward to help Chu Qing help everyone up.

Xiangzi pulled Chu Qing to stand where he was, and whispered calmly, "If these people are real, then it's the result of Xiaorou's sister-in-law's relief; if they're fake, don't move forward to avoid danger."

Xu Nianping didn't think too much about it, the young man stepped forward to help him with all his heart, and asked: "Old man, did you just say that Master Chu sent you food and clothes?"

Although Xiangzi was wary of anyone who approached Chuqing, this group of people were really refugees from Ronglai County, and they really came to thank Chuqing.

Before Chu Qing left Beijing, there was a lot of rumors about Chu Qing in the capital. Except for Xu Nianping, a fool who didn't know much about it, almost everyone in the street knew about it.

Zheng Xiaorou took all the people from the Chu family business to raise relief supplies, and drove all the way to Ronglai County with great fanfare. Who doesn't know?
So Xu Nianping was buried in the palace at that time and knew nothing about the outside world.

Of course, there is also Chu Qing.

Chu Qing had too many things going on at the time. He heard about Zheng Xiaorou's disaster relief efforts, but never cared to learn more about it. If Xiangzi hadn't stopped her just now, she might have asked, "What did you say? Did you make a mistake?"

Xu Nianping was still talking with those people, but the convoy couldn't move forward because of this, but there was an exclamation from the rear of the convoy: "Look! The back is also kneeling!"

Those people who followed Chuqing's convoy didn't enter the city, but knelt down at the gate and pulled up a long red banner: Accumulate virtue and do good, uphold righteousness and uprightness.

These are people from disaster-stricken areas around Ronglai County.

my God!Chu Qing was taken aback—the momentum was too great!
Feeling at a loss, a fast horse galloped towards this side, and the man on the horse shouted: "The Holy Spirit speaks!" His voice was sharp.

Xu Nianping looked up and saw that it was a eunuch, so he couldn't help but look back at Chu Qing: "Aunt Chu, Lord Chu, this is Zhang Enbao from the Imperial Study Room."

Chu Qing didn't know who Zhang Enbao was, but since he belonged to the imperial study, Xu Nianping knew him, and he came to deliver the emperor's oral instructions, so he was probably a servant.

The crowded street was quickly given way, and this Zhang Enbao got off his horse: "Master Chu, the Holy One said: I am waiting for Chu Qing, why haven't you seen anyone?"

Hehe, Chu Qing thought, the movement is too loud, the emperor can't sit still?

"Is the emperor going to give us the title of Lord Chu?" Someone in the crowd muttered, and soon this sentence aroused a buzz of discussion——

"It should be? Otherwise, why did the palace send someone to pick it up?"

"Not necessarily! If you want to say such a great contribution, you should have sent someone out of the city to meet you!"

"That's not necessarily true. Master Chu is not a vanguard officer. She only fights a small part of the battle. If the general guarding the frontier comes back, she will probably be able to have that kind of battle."

"I heard that although Master Chu is a vanguard official, she decides the outcome as soon as she comes on the stage. Isn't it worth going out of the city to meet her?"

"Isn't there still such a thing as a military order? It should be better to seal the marquis immediately after returning. The emperor must be waiting in the palace to issue an order to Master Chu!"

"That's right, that's the reason!"

The discussion became louder and louder, and it spread quickly, and within a few breaths, it reached the ears of the people kneeling and thanking Chu Qing outside the city, and it came back with their hopes: "The emperor has accepted Lord Chu into the palace and made him a marquis." !"

Chu Qing originally thought that the appearance of Zhang Enbao was a relief for him, otherwise Chu Qing would really not be able to deal with the excitement at the moment, but he did not expect that the words "Marquis" were brought up.

Hu Hengqiu rushed forward in two or three times, panting exaggeratedly and wiping sweat: "Oh, it can be considered squeezed in!"

After the performance, I thanked Zhang Enbao again: "Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come in," and then turned to Chu Qing: "Hurry up, the emperor sent me to pick you up, I didn't expect that there are so many people, and you are walking too slowly some!"

Hu Tu followed behind Hu Hengqiu, lowered his head, suppressed a smile, and even winked at the other officers—don't let your lord know!
The little eunuch Zhang Enbao looked at Hu Hengqiu a little confused, so Hu Hengqiu immediately bowed his hands to him: "Please go back and report first, and I will personally lead Master Chu to face the saint."

Zhang Enbao nodded, got on his horse and left.

Hu Hengqiu asked Xiangzi for a horse, stepped on the stirrup, and prepared to enter the palace with Chu Qing.

Chu Qing looked at the big red silk flower on top of his head, and said quietly: "Check and make up for the emperor at any time, and take care of the mood of the subordinates, Mr. Hu, hard work!"

The cunning Hu Hengqiu slipped his foot, stepped on the stirrup, and knocked his nose on the saddle.

"Don't tell me if you see through!" Hu Hengqiu said awkwardly: "You made me feel embarrassed in front of so many people, can you feel at ease?"

Seeing that Hu Hengqiu also had gray hair on his temples, Chu Qing shook her head with a smile, and also got on the horse.

Although Chu Qing was victorious and severely damaged King Voss' ambitions, the emperor did not express his attitude clearly—at least he should send someone to meet Chu Qing, right?

Hu Hengqiu was not only thinking of the emperor's unsympathetic courtiers' hearts, but also thinking of Chu Qing's calmness and not being half-hearted. It really took great pains to lead his colleagues from the secret investigation department to greet him.

He acted like this, if he did it well, he could be regarded as checking for the emperor to fill in the gaps; if he didn't do it well, not only would Chu Qing not appreciate it, but the emperor might even blame him for being troublesome.

It's hard to be a lonely minister!
Jian Jian explained a few words to Xiangzi, asking him to thank the people for their love, and took Xu Nianping to the palace together.
