"Why are you so flustered?"
Qin Liangyu glared at the young man with a cold expression. Then, she turned her eyes to the book and continued reading.
"Aiya, Auntie, stop looking…"
The young man anxiously leaned over and placed a brand-new imperial edict on the table."Do you want to see His Majesty's imperial edict?"
"Imperial decree?"
Hearing this, Qin Liangyu quickly retracted her phoenix eyes.""Are you allowing me to return to Sichuan?"
"You're thinking too much."
The young man shook his head mockingly and sat down by the table."Qian Longxi, the assistant minister of the cabinet, has been appointed as the prime minister of Shanhaiguan. His Majesty not only wants to investigate Yuan Chonghuan, but also recruit the troops from Shengjing City.”
“……”
Upon hearing this, Qin Liangyu no longer had the mood to ask. He quickly picked up the imperial edict and spread it out.
The words were very short, no more than a few dozen words. He appointed new positions and assigned new tasks.
Finally.
Qin Liangyu's brows furrowed as she stood up and walked towards the sand table map.""Shengjing City has 150,000 soldiers, and the commander is just a little brat?”
"Who knows."
The young man shook his head like a rattle-drum and curled his lips."I knew it. This world of ice and snow is going to come out of seclusion and fight again. When will these damn days end?”
"Yiming, don't talk nonsense."
Qin Liangyu scolded angrily with a straight face. Then, he fell into deep thought.
Ever since she joined the army in her thirties, she had always been an anomaly on the battlefield. In the past, she had always taken orders from other ministers.
And this time, it was actually the Emperor himself who issued the imperial edict.
As for the reason, Qin Liangyu could not figure it out.
"Auntie, you don't want to go either, right?"
The young man stared at Qin Liangyu for a moment and chuckled,""Why don't…Auntie find an excuse to reject it? We agreed to return to Shu and protect our hometown after we returned to the capital.”
"If there's no country, where can we go home?"
Qin Liangyu slowly looked outside the tent.""I'm afraid that the one Your Majesty wants to hold accountable is not only Yuan Chonghuan, but also the cabinet assistant Qian Longxi.”
"Your Majesty, don't tell me you want to borrow aunt's knife to kill them?”
This time, the young man jumped up in shock."Oh my god, when did aunt become so important to His Majesty?”
"The right to punish the officials of the Imperial Court is not my turn.”
Qin Liangyu sighed worriedly,""I'm curious about the young man in Shengjing City. Where did he come from?”
" Who knows? Even the storytellers in the restaurants in the capital have described Chu Feng as a god…"
The young man lay down heartlessly and crossed his legs."It's definitely fake. Most likely, he has a good father to rely on.”
"Chu Feng?"
The corners of Qin Liangyu's mouth curled up into a mischievous smile."This person is called Chu Feng?"
"Yes, the entire capital is talking about it…"
"Interesting."
The smile on Qin Liangyu's face disappeared. He grabbed a token and threw it at the youth."Immediately pass down my order, order the Fire Head Camp to speed up their lives, let the soldiers eat quickly, and break camp at sunset.”
"Ah?"
Hearing this, the young man immediately stood up again."We…can't we leave tomorrow morning?”
"This is a military order."
Qin Liangyu didn't even look at the young man, as if he was a different person.""In addition, with the imperial edict in hand, you can go to the other guard posts and replenish the 30,000 soldiers.”
"Oh!"
"Qin Yiming…"
Just as the resentful youth was about to leave, Qin Liangyu's face was stern as he scolded angrily again,""I told you, this is a military order."
The young man immediately stood up straight and cupped his fists."Understood!"
…………
Just as Qin Liangyu received the imperial edict and began to deploy his troops…
An imperial edict silently left the Forbidden City. A few Brocade Guards mounted on warhorses with swords at their waists galloped out of the capital like arrows.
The imperial edict was a new appointment.
He appointed Hong Chengchou as the new governor of Ji Liao and split up with Sun Chuanting to help Song Jin.
This was supposed to happen a few years later, but it was bizarrely brought forward.
At the same time.
Beijing.
On the plaque of a mansion near the Forbidden City, the words "Wu Mansion" were written in large letters.
The gates of the mansion, which had been shut for months, opened for the first time.
The ceremonial eunuch Gao Qiqian raised the reddish-yellow imperial edict with one hand and stepped over the threshold. He grinned and walked straight in.
"Aiyo, this Lord Wu is so arrogant. Even if the imperial edict arrives, he won't come to listen to it?”
The gatekeeper at the door jumped in fright.
At the same time, the housekeeper, maids, and other family members in the residence were also alarmed.
Not long after, a middle-aged man with a messy beard came out. He was burly and full of energy. After taking a few big steps forward, he knelt on one knee with a crash.
"This commoner Wu Xiang greets Eunuch Gao…"
"Aiyo, Lord Wu can't afford to kneel to us. You should kneel to this imperial edict.”
Gao Qiqian opened the imperial edict with a faint smile and read it aloud,""By the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: At this time, the Later Jin army invaded the capital several times and endangered the people of the Ming Dynasty. If it was not removed, the court would be in danger. Now, the outside of the pass was in danger again. The rebels occupied Shengjing privately and stationed 150,000 troops in Liaodong.”
"Since the Governor of Jiliao, Yuan Chonghuan, is suspected of colluding with the enemy, Liaodong is in danger, and the outside of the pass is in danger…"
"Therefore, I have thought about it and appointed Wu Xiang as the commander of Liaodong. He will immediately go to his post and assist the Shanhaiguan Prime Minister Qian Longxi in recruiting the rebels and investigating Yuan Chonghuan!”
After reading the decree, Gao Qiqian smiled and bent down to bring it to the middle-aged man.
"Lord Wu, congratulations on your reinstatement!”
"I…I thank Your Majesty for your great kindness!”
The middle-aged man was Wu Sangui's biological father, Wu Xiang. He was also the commander of Liaodong in the past, equivalent to the current commander of the military region.
"Lord Wu, don't thank me so quickly. Quickly prepare your equipment and take office overnight.”
Gao Qiqian still had a smile on his face as he said,""At the same time, His Majesty has also transferred Qin Liangyu, who is stationed in the capital camp, to be the general of the hussars this time. I believe he will be rushing to the outside of the pass with Lord Wu.”
"Eunuch Gao, allow this Wu to bid farewell to my family.”
With that, Wu Xiang put the imperial edict into his pocket and turned around to head straight to the backyard. At the same time, he ordered the butler,"Immediately ask Uncle Chang (Wu Sangui) to come out and follow me to the expedition.”
"Master, this…"
"Yuan Chonghuan most likely can't be saved. With His Majesty's mobilization, there will definitely be unrest outside the pass. It's time to broaden my horizons.”
Wu Xiang didn't say anything else and went into the backyard.
He had to say goodbye to his wife and his blind mother.
