Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1002 Feng Cheng is dead
Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian's family went to the palace to meet the saint before they had time to return. The main purpose was to report on their work and then ask about the situation at the border.

Not only them, the emperor was also eager to see them at this time. In the past few days, war reports from the border came every day, and every day he brought back bad news.

"emperor……"

When they met, Lu Baichuan was interrupted just as he was about to salute. The emperor waved to them, indicating that he should come forward to speak.

"Put other things aside for now. Even if there are any problems, I can solve them. The situation at the border is not optimistic. You guys have a good rest today and will lead the troops tomorrow."

The emperor had no choice but to continue: "Feng Cheng died in battle. He ignored dissuasion and caused great trouble, which will naturally affect his descendants. I will make arrangements and clear your name, but you two really can't delay it any longer." , it will take a long time to get to the border, and I am worried that there will be many changes."

Feng Cheng regarded himself as a noble man and sent out troops without permission many times despite King Jing's obstruction, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers. He still refused to believe in evil and even maliciously provoked the enemy. As a result, his life was wasted.

This was a serious mistake on the battlefield, and it killed so many soldiers, so even if he died, his family would still be implicated.

As for his younger brother Feng Gong, he had an affair with Chang Anbo before, and the evidence was conclusive, so he had been killed.

The reason why the emperor did things so neatly was to save more time for Lu Baichuan and the others to provide support. As for who in the court dared to say anything, he sent people to find out the details, and ransacked the houses as soon as they caught any dirt. It was convenient and quick. , much more comfortable than the noisy days in the court.

After dealing with these troublesome troublemakers, the emperor slept more soundly than before.

Lu Baichuan was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, what about your reputation..."

After killing so many people in such a short period of time, the public must not call him a tyrant?

"It doesn't matter, I have made preparations in advance, and now my reputation is extremely good!"

The emperor smiled happily. He ransacked his house and found a lot of treasures. The empty treasury was filled instantly, and he naturally had strong confidence to fight against Dongting.

"There is a shortage of people in the court at the moment. The imperial examination will be held next month. If we take more exams and recruit more young people, the atmosphere in the court will be better."

In these short few days, the emperor had figured out a lot of things. He had always been worried about his reputation and the harmony of the court before. He was able to sit in this position mainly to do things for the people. He should not fight with these courtiers, so even if he was sometimes angry Even though he couldn't even eat, he still chose to endure it.

But after hearing Jiang Jiuniang say that his body was seriously injured, he immediately didn't want to spoil those people so much. He still had his wife and children to protect, and the country to protect. How could a few troublemakers ruin his plan? and dreams?
Lu Baichuan was very pleased when he heard what he said. In the past, the emperor always cared too much and was always unable to use his fists, but after this time, he should not be as restrained as before.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let's go back and make preparations before setting off tomorrow."

Lu Baichuan handed over his hand. He was tired after traveling for so long and wanted to take a nap when he got back.

The emperor nodded and said: "Thank you for the hard work this time. There happens to be a vacancy in the court, and your eldest and second brothers can come to the court to help."

This was something he had already considered before. This time, Lu Baichuan would not be rewarded for his meritorious service, but could just be a favor to his eldest and second brothers.

When Lu Baichuan heard this, he immediately knelt down. The emperor thought he wanted to thank him, but he didn't expect him to refuse: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that my eldest and second brothers have not read any serious books and are not qualified for important positions in the court. Even if If you want to enter the imperial court, you have to start from the bottom. This is to give them a chance to practice. Please be aware of this, Your Majesty."

"Isn't it good to hold an important official position? This way, your Lu family can quickly establish a foothold in the capital."

The emperor believed deeply in his character, so he sincerely wanted to promote his family. What's more, the queen's birth was so dangerous. It was Jiang Jiuniang who saved the queen's life. Enyin's two official positions were really nothing.

Lu Baichuan still shook his head: "It is a good thing to be in an important position, but the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility you need to bear. The eldest and second brothers of the minister are not capable enough. They will only be troubled by sitting in high positions. It is better to leave the position to the right person. Come on." Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu have just arrived in the capital. They are currently investigating the situation in the capital. They have not yet begun to formally learn how to be an official. How can they directly become high-ranking officials?

What does this make those poor students who have worked so hard to pass the exam think?
Although the emperor did have good intentions, this was too eye-catching and caused too much hatred to the family, so he had to keep a low profile and take his time.

The emperor could understand his worries and said, "Okay, then arrange a small errand for them in any yamen in the capital and take your time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Baichuan felt relieved and wanted to resign.

"Bochuan and Qin Jian must come back safely!"

The emperor patted them on the shoulders with some reluctance. He had thousands of words to explain, but he only said this sentence.

In private, he didn't call them "Aiqing" like others, but called them by their first names, not alienating them, but on the contrary, treating them as brothers.

I cannot be where I am today without their help.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will."

Naturally, they wanted to return safely. After all, their families were all in the capital, and no one was willing to leave their lives on that desolate border.

After bidding farewell to the emperor, the two of them prepared to leave the palace. Qin Jian had not seen his wife for a few days and had gone back in a hurry, but Lu Baichuan was waiting for Jiang Jiuniang at the gate of the palace and went home with her.

Jiang Jiuniang quietly entered the palace, fulfilled her previous lie, checked the queen's wound, and found that there was no problem, so she could leave the palace.

When she arrived at the palace gate, she saw Lu Baichuan still waiting for her, and she waved him to get in the car and go home together.

"daughter in law."

As soon as he got in the car, Lu Baichuan reluctantly hugged Jiang Jiuniang. He looked a little tired, but he just couldn't bear to sleep.

"what happened?"

Jiang Jiuniang was a little strange. She was fine when she entered the palace, but now she is like this. Could it be that something happened again?
"Feng Cheng is dead and the border war is tense. The emperor asked Qin Jian and I to lead the troops and set off tomorrow."

He said and sighed. Although he had been prepared for it, he didn't expect it to be so sudden.

Jiang Jiuniang also felt that she was too hasty, but the battle waits for no one. After hearing this, she just said: "Then have a good rest tonight and recuperate. I will prepare more things for you to bring with you, so that I can help you then."

She only said that she would help him prepare things, but did not say that she would go with him. Lu Baichuan still breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she has outstanding abilities, he is reluctant to let her go through that kind of hardship. He just wants to be at home and wait happily for him to come back.
