From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 104
Feeling his murderous anger, Mei Xin felt uneasy, but she soon realized that she had made the right bet.He stabilized his mind, raised his head completely, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am afraid that the morale of the army will not be stable, and I did not go with the general. However, the general should have arrived at the pier by now. The general is seriously injured. No bumps, I ordered people to protect the waterway he walked on."

"Your majesty, please rest assured that this matter was done in secret. No one knew that the general was not in Liangzhou. Your majesty, I have tried all the methods I could think of. It is true that the general's injury has worsened and he has been in a coma. Your Majesty, as a human daughter, I really can't just stand by and watch my father die, so... I ask the emperor to punish me. As long as it can save the life of the general, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Kowtowing on the ground with tears in her eyelashes, Mei Xin, who has always been upright and strong, used bitter tricks and sang a bitter drama.Of course, this drama has only just begun, and the next step is to see how the emperor reacts before deciding whether to continue singing.

Mei Zhannan, who had great achievements and self-respect and could rebel at any time, suddenly fell down and became a harmless poor man who would die at any time, which quickly aroused the emperor's sympathy.Coupled with the fact that Mei Linlang, the beloved woman, was in danger and begged him with death, the emperor's heart softened in an instant after she said such words before.With eyes full of concern, he thought for a moment and said: "It's rare that you are so filial, how can I bear to punish you, if you don't set an example, you will never do it again in the future!"

A precedent has been set, and everyone will follow suit in the future. Wouldn't the world be in chaos that day?What's more, Liangzhou is an important military area. Once the city is broken and the capital is taken directly, endangering the country and shaking the country, the people will also suffer.

She has been in the army for many years, how could Mei Xin not know about the military order, but this time, if it wasn't for the safety of the entire Mei family and the nineteenth city of Liangzhou, she would definitely not take the risk and break the law knowingly.The tone was sincere and decisive, she said: "I know I was wrong, there will never be a next time! Your Majesty, the general is seriously injured, I beg..."

"Report to the emperor, the imperial physician Zhou is here!" Eunuch Qian's voice from outside interrupted Mei Xin's words, and the emperor heard Mei Linlang let go of her hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter, Zhen will arrange someone Go to the pier to pick up your father into the palace for treatment."

No matter what Mei Zhannan is thinking, whether he is as self-respecting as the censor said, because of Mei Linlang's begging for death and the love of his classmates and friends back then, he will save him.Of course, this is only one aspect, and the other aspect is related to state affairs.The righteousness of the monarch and ministers, all-out rescue shows the mighty grace of the emperor.

As the name suggests, Mei Zhan Nanren has made great achievements in the southern and northern wars. He is a general who can fight and is also a good general who can defend Liangzhou City well.Therefore, it is not possible to move for the time being, in case the morale of the army is disturbed and the Tartars can take advantage of it.

Mei Xin's original purpose was to send her seriously injured father to the palace for treatment, so as to bring the relationship between the monarch and his ministers closer, and take the opportunity to show her loyalty and temporarily dispel the suspicion and doubts in the emperor's heart.Immediately kowtowed to thank him and said: "The minister took the decree to thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Kowtow again, stood up, Mei Xin took out the soldier talisman she was carrying in her bosom, and said sincerely with both hands: "The general is unconscious, please take back the soldier talisman!"

The emperor's suspicion of the Mei family was nothing more than fear of the Mei family's rebellion, so he presented the military talisman without hesitation, one as a test, and the other as another way of showing loyalty.And this is also telling the emperor that the Mei family will not only not but will always obey his orders and be a sharp weapon in his hands.

The soldier talisman of the Mei family army was drawn by Taizu himself at the beginning of the founding of the country and ordered to be made by others. It is an iron plate in the shape of a plum blossom.The size of a palm can only mobilize the Mei family army.At that time, the number of Mei's army was small, and the total number of soldiers defending Liangzhou was only 5.After hundreds of years and several generations, the Meihualing has lost its former appearance, and the Meijia army has also expanded from the initial 5 horses to today's 30 horses.

The 30 horses are not the achievements of the emperor, but the painstaking efforts of the Mei family heads in the past, and it is also the foundation of the Mei family.The reason why the emperor is afraid is because they are too powerful, so powerful that he can no longer fully control them.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the couch, the emperor will not allow the Mei family to grow bigger.So, looking down at the soldier talisman in Mei Xin's hand, he was very entangled.According to historical records, when Taizu gave this token to the first King of Liang, he said that as long as the Mei family did not commit any rebellion, the Cheng family would not take back the token.In other words, as long as the Mei family does not rebel, the hereditary title of Prince of Liang will never change.

Wanting to take it back but couldn't, the emperor hesitated for a while, then looked away and said: "I won't let your father die, put away the soldier talisman, and you come with me."

There is no evidence to prove that Mei Zhannan and the entire Mei family are going to rebel, and there is no major mistake. He absolutely cannot take back the military talisman.Thinking about the seriousness of the matter and the need for a long-term plan, he strode out, ordering as he walked, "Let Imperial Physician Zhou come in and do our best to treat Concubine Rong!"

After saying that, Bai Zhi finished collecting the needles, hugged a quilt and carefully covered Concubine Rong.

Mei Xin got up and walked in front of Bai Zhi, glanced at Concubine Rong who was pale but her lips were as black as ink, and said, "How is it?"

Bai Zhi frowned deeply and shook her head lightly, then replied in a low voice: "It's hard to say now, it depends on whether the imperial physician has any other solutions."

Taking poison, cutting his wrists, and losing too much blood, Bai Zhi is not sure that he will be able to save Concubine Rong.Therefore, she didn't dare to speak rashly, she could only see what the imperial doctor had to say.

Mei Xin knew that Bai Zhi was just a medical girl with limited medical skills, so she nodded her head and said, "Look here first, and I will pick you up when I leave. Don't be afraid, if you need anything, just tell Eunuch Qian outside."

There is nothing terrible to have Mei Xin in Baizhi, and she believes that Mei Xin will protect her: "Yes!"

Before the words were finished, an old doctor with a gray beard came in with a medicine box.Seeing Mei Xin bowed her hands and saluted, then opened the medicine box and began to diagnose Concubine Rong's pulse.

The emperor waited, Mei Xin didn't dare to delay for a moment, she stretched out her hand and patted Bai Zhi on the shoulder, and she went out quickly.

When she walked to the door and met Jianchun who was about to come in, Mei Xin stopped and looked at her, and said intentionally, "Are you serving by Concubine Rong's side?"

After all, the sons of the Mei family are different from ordinary court ladies, even though she has been in the palace for many years, she can recognize Mei Xin at a glance.Fushen saluted and spoke respectfully, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed: "Slave Jianchun pays respects to the Major General, best wishes to the Major General!"

Mei Xin knew her in her previous life, and knew that she was a loyal servant. She waved her hand and said, "There's no need to be polite, Concubine Rong is poisonous. You should hurry in and serve her."

After speaking, Mei Xin looked around and made a gesture that only the Mei family could understand, and then left.
