The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 512 The Oriole (6)

Mu Yangling put the two children on the couch and asked them to play together. Lichun carefully avoided the outside eyes and ears, and said in a low voice, "Fourth grandma, do you want to find a way to send the news to the outside?"

Mu Yangling glanced at her indifferently, and said: "Don't make up your own mind, we just need to live in the palace with peace of mind."

At this time, it is better to be still than to move. Is it because I don’t know the news and pass the news rashly? Is it because I don’t die fast enough?

In the afternoon, Li Jinghua went alone to the palace where the Yuan family lived to visit the old lady Yuan. Only then did she know that not only the two of them were taken into the palace to serve the sick, but also the family members of the other three generals. The military power of an army of more than ten thousand.

Among them, General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan were taken care of because they held heavy troops and were far away from the south of the Yangtze River. The two of them were arranged in the affiliated palace of Kunning Palace, but the other three were also arranged to live in the harem, all of which were used to serve the queen. excuse.

However, not only female family members came into the palace, but also young children and old ladies. Obviously, these two types of people were the main hostages.

You can remarry if you lose your wife, but men always value blood. Unless they are really cold-blooded careerists, they will rarely give up their children, let alone their mothers.

If they can even give up their mother, wife and children, the emperor will have to praise them for being cruel, but such people must be very few who are willing to follow, and the opponent has lost from the very beginning.

Of course, the emperor's act of taking the family members of his courtiers as hostages will also be criticized, but he has capital willfulness, as a courtier, do you have it?

Detaining the hostages in the palace made the emperor feel a lot more at ease. He sent an order to take good care of the officials and family members who entered the palace to serve the sick. If they have any requests, as long as they can be done, they will all agree, as long as they don’t spread the news or leave the palace That's fine.

General Yuan is very filial, and the old lady Yuan is in the palace. As long as she is well, General Yuan will not dare to do anything. As for Qi Xiuyuan, although he has no mother, he has his first son at such an age, so he thinks he will take it very seriously. .

The emperor expressed his regret for the discord between Qi Feng and Qi Xiuyuan, otherwise he would have been more confident in detaining Qi Feng.

And Qi Feng who was outside the palace was both indignant and happy at the same time.

Outraged that his status with his son was so low, he was not even qualified to be a hostage, fortunately he didn't have to be a hostage...

The outside was in chaos because of the sudden war, and because of the emperor's actions, the waves were surging. The palace was completely isolated from the outside, but after two days passed, they still learned some things one after another.

For example, the battle between the imperial army and the bandits became more and more fierce, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Just before the emperor sent out the recruiting officials to reach Jingnan South Road, a group of bandits shot and killed the leading marshal. Without a leader, the army was in chaos.

The bandits seized the opportunity to attack the city. At the same time, the southwest and northwest borders were in a hurry, and the Xixia army pressed the border. When the emperor received the 800-mile rush, the other party had already captured five counties. The emperor just felt worried, and an urgent report came from the north. The national army is pressing down on the border, and even wants to invade the border on a large scale. General Yuan and Qi Xiuyuan have negotiated to jointly boycott the Jin soldiers.

This dissuaded the emperor who originally planned to send Qi Xiuyuan back, and the flames of war raged everywhere, and the flames of war seemed to ignite throughout the entire Zhou Dynasty overnight, and the emperor's eyebrows turned white with worry.

How complacent he was before, how regretful he is now.

He thought that by killing Qin Xiang's subordinates and blaming the bandits, he could use this to remove Qin Xiang's power, and he could also take the opportunity to send a large army to suppress those bandits who are always inexhaustible, so as to completely control Jingnan South Road, but he didn't. Expecting that the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind him, now he is the mantis who will be hunted and killed by the oriole.

Now he can't see through whether Xi Xia and Jin Guo were involved in the things he did back then. He only knows that he is currently in internal and external troubles, and he must not be negligent, otherwise he will fall into the abyss.

The emperor's hair turned half white overnight, and it was the first time he regretted his original impulse when he saw the war-torn country.

But no matter how regretful he is, he has to persevere. In short, Da Zhou can't be subjugated by him, otherwise, he will really become a sinner through the ages.

At this time, what the emperor was most afraid of was that his generals would turn against him, so he had no choice but to invite the family members of these generals into the palace.

The emperor didn't mean to hide the news from his family members. He asked people to release the outside news to these officials one after another. He just wanted to win their support. He hoped that they could write letters to the generals who led the army abroad so that they could take it out with peace of mind. Soldiers, serve the country.

The emperor wanted to give some news a day, and then cry about his difficulties, and finally let them write a letter, but the situation is not optimistic. He receives news of lost cities and defeats every day, not only at the border, but also domestic rebellions have already begun. Spreading from Jingnan South Road, if we don't stop it, the whole Jiangnan will be involved in the rebellion. The emperor has no choice but to disclose all the news to those family members within two days, hoping that they can think about the country and encourage his son. Or her husband guards the country for him.

The emperor felt that the reason why the city was lost so quickly, apart from their loss of opportunity, was that the generals were unwilling to do their best. Otherwise, how could the 800,000 army be so vulnerable?

But now, his gold medal and imperial decree are of little use, and he can only place his hopes on the letters from his family members, hoping that they can take care of their loved ones and serve the country.

The emperor conveyed this meaning through the queen, and everyone turned to the Yuan family.

Of the five generals, up to now, General Yuan has commanded over 260,000 troops, Qi Xiuyuan has commanded 150,000 troops, and the other three generals are only worth 100,000. In addition, the Yuan family's prestige is extremely strong, and almost everyone Act according to the wishes of the Yuan family.

The queen also looked towards the Yuan family, and said with a smile: "How long has it been since the old matriarch wrote to General Yuan? It would be good to take this opportunity to say hello."

Old Madam Yuan lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Thank you Queen for your concern, but my wife is illiterate and has never written to him. If the Emperor sends a letter to my son, just send me a few words."

The queen looked at Madam Yuan with a smile, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "The emperor sent an imperial decree. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to pass on the message to the old lady, but when Madam Yuan writes a letter to the general, she can send it for the old lady. At that time, the imperial court rushed to send someone to send it, and General Yuan should receive it in a short time."

The queen was worried that Madam Yuan refused to let her come down again, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you go back and write letters first, and I will send someone to pick them up later."

Everyone glanced at Mrs. Yuan, and all lowered their eyes.

Everyone stood outside the palace gate, looking at the indifferent Old Madam Yuan and Mrs. Yuan, wanting to step forward to inquire, but under the watchful eyes of the maids and servants, they did not dare to go forward.

Li Jinghua only took one look at the Yuan family, and pulled Mu Yangling away.
