The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 336

Mrs. Tie probed to look at the mountains outside, guessed the location, and finally shook her head, "This place is still a hundred miles away from the state capital, let the brothers work harder, and rest for the rest of the process tonight. Tomorrow, I will run to Kyoto in one go Got home."

"Okay, mother, then you sit down and rest when you are tired."

The female knight was probably a little hot, and beads of sweat dripped down her cheeks. Madam Tie felt distressed when she saw it, and she pulled off the veil to wipe her off, and told her, "You don't have to run in such a hurry, Xiaomi is smart, don't worry about it." miss."

"I don't miss her." The female knight is Lan Tianqin, who has never met Xiaomi. It turns out that the queen of Lanyu Kingdom has been married to Tie Wushuang for more than four years, and she has a child, but she is still stubborn. soft temper.

Lifting her chin now, she replied, "I'm afraid that she will be bullied to death, and no one will prepare delicious food for me. I don't know how her brain grows. The food she makes is novel and delicious. .”

"You, this mouth is not forgiving. After this incident, let Xiaomi drive Xiyangyang to our place, and there will be a place to go for whatever you want to eat in the future."

It was rare for Mrs. Tie to show a smiling face, but Lan Tianqin's face was darkened, "Forget it, my husband said that I can't cook, if I am happy to drive to the southwest, I'm afraid he won't go back home for dinner."

"Haha, you two really, seeing Tian'er's quarrel, it didn't break up."

Mrs. Tie was even more amused by her daughter-in-law. If she said the word Huanxi Enemy, it was purely for her son and daughter-in-law.

Not to mention what happened on the Southwest Road, just say that there is also a caravan on the road from the Northland to Kyoto at this moment, full of carriages, prairie people in road shoulder robes, and even strong men on horseback. Chinese.

If someone is well-informed, they may be able to recognize them at a glance. These strong men on horseback have something special about them.

In fact, they wore golden pheasant feathers on the hats on their heads.Such a sign can only be worn by the warriors of the king's account.The warriors of the king's tent are the close bodyguards of the grassland king. They are all brave and have few enemies.

And there are only two hundred warriors in the king's tent, and there are actually one hundred in this team...

The foreman of the caravan was riding on a horse with a tired face, turning his head to look at the warriors of the king's account from time to time, his expression even more bitter.

He is the steward of the Lu family's caravan, and he often travels between the grassland and Dayuan. Every time the king of the grassland sends various gifts to the capital, he is responsible for transporting them.

But this time, for some reason, when they set off from the grassland, the king of the grassland suddenly sent these hundred king tent warriors.

At the beginning, he didn't understand what the intention of the Prairie King was, but with these warriors following him, he was not afraid of any mistakes on the road.

But when he got out of the grassland and entered the Dayuan Realm, he was completely shocked when he heard the rumors from the capital, and when he looked at these warriors of the king's account, his chest was raised.

Is the Prairie King complaining that the emperor treats his "righteous sister" and plans to "rob people" again?
Forget about others, the whole Lu family knows the past of the Prairie King and the Empress best.

At the beginning, when the emperor led troops to attack the Zoroastrianism, it was the most difficult time, the king of the grassland took the empress to the grassland, and the empress arranged many ways to get rich for the grassland, and even facilitated the trade routes between the two countries.

The world only knows that the King of the Prairie was in trouble, lived in Laoxiongling for almost a year, and treated the empress closer than his own sister.

But those of the Lu family, the Lu family who go in and out of the grassland know best, how many years have the position of the princess of the grassland king been vacant...

Now, these menacing warriors of the king's account are rushing to Kyoto with the convoy. Isn't this intention too obvious?
In case something went wrong, he couldn't explain it clearly with hundreds of mouths.After all, these people were brought by him...

Thinking in this way, he wished that the pulling horse would walk with its hooves on its shoulders, so that it would not be able to reach the capital for a long time.

But the warriors of the Wangzhang are not only skilled, they are also first-rate in driving the horse-drawn carriages, and they can drive much faster than usual.

So the steward of the Lu family was completely helpless...

Not to mention how the two groups of people rushed to the capital, but to say that the vicinity of the capital became lively before they arrived.

In the beginning, it was because the common people watched the carriage of the Duke's Mansion leave the capital, which aroused sympathy and distress for the empress.

And as the convoy went north, more and more people heard about it.

Ordinary people are fine with it, just discuss a few words and sigh a few times.

But those veterans and wounded soldiers who retired from the army were completely angry. When Emperor Chengde came to the throne and the empress entered the palace when Emperor Chengde came back from the Eastern Expedition, the first thing he did was to offer a strategy to appease the soldiers.

For all disabled soldiers who fought for the country and could not take care of themselves, the Ministry of Households issued money every month to maintain normal food, drink and clothing.In addition, during the New Year's Eve, there are ritual gifts such as rice, flour, oil, and salt, and family members will be exempted from [-]% of taxes for farming.

If a wounded soldier can walk, for example, if he is missing a hand or a leg, he will be arranged to maintain the official road, lay stones in the potholes, drain waterlogging during the rainy season, or become a postman in the village to replace the villagers. They deliver letters or parcels to the cargo depot in the city, and then pick up the parcels sent from other places and return to the village.And the people in the freight station who are responsible for sending packages back and forth are retired soldiers. They are all young and strong.

After such an arrangement, the wounded soldiers have changed from a useless person who is a drag on the family to a monthly wage, not to mention no longer being looked down upon by others, and even become sweets, married wives, and gave birth to children. The days are really unexpected good.

In the past, when they went into town, they were overwhelmed with gratitude when someone offered them a lift.But now, no matter which restaurant they go into, they can get good food for one or two taels of silver for eight taels of silver.Passing by the tea stand, you will not be charged after drinking the tea.

If retired soldiers enter workshops and shops to work, the owner will reduce or exempt taxes accordingly, and naturally they also become sweet pastries.

And all this is due to the blessing of the empress, the empress said, they shed blood for the country, Da Yuan can't just let them cry, they are heroes that the whole Da Yuan should treat with courtesy.

At the end of the Eastern Expedition, the expensive restaurant opened ten days of running banquets to reward them.Even now, there will be extra food and necessities handed out every New Year's day.

Great Yuan founded the country for hundreds of years, sacrificed their lives for the country, and disabled countless soldiers for the country, but only they have such glory.

But now, the empress, who wiped away her tears and pain for them, will be branded a disaster for the country and the people because of a shitty official who hanged herself and left a letter.

How can they bear it?
Could it be that they also hanged themselves at Xuanwumen with a rope, and left a letter saying that a certain first-rank official had entrapped the people, and this high-rank official would be removed from the black hat.

Isn't the world in chaos?

No, they have to support the empress.

The empress can stand up for them, how could they turn a blind eye to the difficulties of the empress because they cherish their good life.

So, I packed my bags, picked up rusty knives and guns, and more and more veterans and wounded soldiers slowly gathered together and set off for Kyoto.

The first one to rush to the capital was Mrs. Tie who missed her daughter.

In the Hou Mansion, Nanny Dao is still taking care of the backyard.I didn't panic when I received my master's return home suddenly, but when I saw the master's look haggard when I received it in the front yard, I couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Mrs. , I just sent a letter. You rushed back in such a hurry, what can you do if you are exhausted? My mother is afraid that I will blame the old servant for talking too much."

Mrs. Tie waved her hand and said, "How are you doing now? Is there anything else?"

Mother Dao couldn't do it, so she could only quickly salute Lan Tianqin, then helped the old lady's hand and walked into the courtyard, saying, "Three days ago, Lord Lu Qian returned to Beijing and brought two puppies for the princess and the princes." In the end, the puppy ate some snacks and died. The empress was furious, and shot a palace maid. Then, the old man of the previous country returned to Laoxiong Ling and took away the princes and princesses. Presumably, the empress also felt that the matter was a little troublesome, and didn’t want to The princes and princesses have been affected."

Mrs. Tie frowned and nodded, but when she wanted to ask more questions, she suddenly widened her eyes and screamed, "No, this dead girl must be..."

In the middle of her scolding, it was still not easy to continue, so she could only quickly turn around and tell her daughter-in-law, "Divide four hundred cavalry along the official road going north, and quickly catch up with the convoy of the Duke's mansion. Lord and his party arrived at Laoxiong Ridge safely."

"Yes, mother, don't worry, it's okay to be around in Kyoto, I'll take someone to chase after me myself."

Lan Tianqin readily accepted the job, and turned around and left without waiting for Mrs. Tie to say anything.

Soon, the iron cavalry that made the people of Kyoto realize that Mrs. Tie had returned home split up again, and ran out of the capital like the wind.

"Madam, are you worried that the little masters are in danger?"

Nanny Dao's face was a little pale, and she lowered her voice to ask, but she still couldn't believe it.

"Who on earth has such courage, can't you?"

"Why not? If no one interferes, who would dare to pour dirty water on her head?"

Mrs. Tie's eyes were cold, "The emperor has only favored Xiaomi for six years, and some people's patience is exhausted. Even if the people in the court did not participate in this turmoil, they will inevitably contribute to the flames."

Mother Dao was afraid that she would be angry with her master, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, but said nicely, "Your Majesty was not affected by this incident at all, and she even baked mooncakes and delivered a box yesterday. It is said that she is busy with the Mid-Autumn festival." , if it wasn't for waiting for Madam to come back, the old servants would have gone into the palace to join in the fun."

Sure enough, these words made Mrs. Tie's frown loosen a little.

"Xiaomi knows what's in his heart, so it's good, remember to send a letter to the palace. I will enter the palace tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Nanny Dao praised Lan Tianqin again, "Mrs. Hou is very good at what she said. In fact, she gets along best with your empress. When she first arrived in the capital, she worked hard and went north again."

"Yeah, she's a good kid, too."
