Chapter 58

As soon as Song Wen left, Zheng and the two Yuanwailang in Pingxi Village said that they were urgently called by the imperial court, and they didn't say a word about it.How could they know about the imperial court, right!

As for the matter of Song Yu's body being brought into the Song family's ancestor's grave, it was a matter of urgency, and Lizheng helped to handle it.

And the three who came to learn crafts from the original classmate's home, left lazily after returning from cutting trees the day before, and did not see Song Wen who was messing around with Xiao Lue during the day.The next day, the three of them were all arguing at home, saying that Song Wen deliberately tormented them, did not teach them any skills, only asked them to cut down trees, and refused to come back no matter what they said.

The three classmates all felt that it was not Song Wen who made things difficult, but that the family members were not motivated, could not endure hardships, and had no face.When they came to the door again, they found that Song Wen had left for more than half a month.

Xiao Lue and his party wanted to avoid spies from two sides, and there were too many people, so they didn't go so fast.On the contrary, Song asked Baili to rush, and he invited the booklet to enter the besieged city, and sent it to Guo Shang. He entered the capital first with a single horse and day and night.

As soon as Guo Shang entered the capital, the emperor received the news.Guo Shang is the deputy general of the garrison in the besieged city. He returned to Beijing alone to ask for reinforcements in the besieged city, but two days on the way there was news that he went to Pingxi Village, so he must have met Xiao Lue first.There was no news from behind, and Guo got on his horse one step faster.

Now that he had seen Xiao Lue, the city was besieged and the army was in dire straits, the emperor believed that Xiao Lue must have given Guo Shang a badge to enter the palace, and it depended on Guo Shang's actions.

He waits!

Unexpectedly, Guo Shang did not enter the palace to face the saint, but went to the general's mansion.The servants of the General's Mansion then went to the Chang'an County Government Office to look for Qin Wenru, and then the gate of the General's Mansion was locked tightly, and no one came in or out.

Emperor: Can't figure it out!

The next day the emperor finally waited for the news brought back by the people from Pingxi Village, saying that Xiao Lue gave Guo Shang the badge to enter the palace, and that Xiao Lue went to the trapped city alone.

Ah Wu is someone who has been hiding in the dark in the General's Mansion, the emperor's people have no chance to see, they only think that Xiao Lue left by himself.And when he saw Guo Shang and Xiao Lue meeting, the two of them separated, and he hurriedly reported the news, but he didn't see Song Wen taking anyone with him.

In addition to the news from Pingxi Village, Qin Wenru, the acting county magistrate of Chang'an, Song Wen left early in the morning, and Qin Wenru temporarily acted as the county magistrate of Chang'an.

At the end of July, today is the great court, and the magistrate of Chang'an County can go to court.Without Song Wen, the courtiers still feel that the court is much more relaxed. They don’t have to think about participating in Song Wen, or call Song Wen Shen, and don’t have to listen to Song Wen’s resignation. Who knows that everyone has left, Zhezi Still there!

Simply hateful!

The courtiers instantly cast their eyes of "hate" on Qin Wenru.Qin Wenru bowed and held the Song Wen Memorial, and was sweating profusely when he saw it. He was told to catch up with him when he returned to the court for the first time. He deeply felt that Mr. Song was really talented, and that he could be so calm when surrounded by such officials , Get out of the thousands of ginseng!

Mr. Song, a great talent!

The emperor thought that Song Wen and Xiao Lue were together, this memorial could not be related to Xiao Lue, so he nodded, took the memorial and read it first, it didn't mention a word about the besieged city, it was very cunning.

The ministers waited for the emperor to speak, but if Song Wen asked to return to the capital, it was absolutely impossible, and he must find a way to prevent him from returning.

The emperor snorted and said, "Song Wen's excerpt said, please go to the besieged city to push the water truck and plant indoors."

what?

The courtiers were all ready to oppose Song Wen's mention of returning to the capital, so why not return to the capital?Go to the sleepy city!What is there to do in the sleepy city, where the two countries have been at war all year round!Then Song Wen is probably not a fool, is he? !Think again, how stupid!It's better to stay outside all the time, don't come back, make trouble!

Qin Wenru had received Song Wen's advice early on, so he simply came out and told everything the emperor didn't say: "I want to report to the emperor, Mr. Song heard that the people in the impoverished city are struggling to eat, because the border between the two countries often conflicts, causing wars. Outside the city There are basically no harvests from farming, and all rely on begging for local grain relief, which is by no means the way for a city to develop.”

"My lord Song thought that by promoting carts and indoor planting in the impoverished city, all the food was planted in the city and under the eyes of the people, so there would be no worries about losing the harvest. The people have enough food and clothing, and they must be grateful for the kindness of the court and the great kindness of the emperor!"

Some courtiers came out to object: "I want to report to the emperor that if you want the people to have enough food and clothing, how can it be solved by simply planting vegetables in the city? Mr. Song is just exaggerating, and we don't know what his intentions are."

Qin Wenru turned sideways to the courtier and smiled slightly, as if Song Wen was fooling people, and asked, "Are the vegetables grown in front of your lord's mansion delicious? The yamen servants are looking at the industriousness of your lord's mansion. At the beginning, it was said that my lord's house would not care about it, and that all the harvest would be returned to the yamen for charitable deeds. The yamen servant said that he couldn't take it back, and asked the mansion to eat it all. The mansion also said that it will be eaten and used by your mansion for the time being, and it will be planted in the future , your family has to grow it yourself, it’s out of the Yamen’s control.”

All in all, it is the courtiers' mansion that eats freshly picked fresh vegetables, and the parents and mothers at home feel good about their activities. They don't want to pay the whole package to the Chang'an County Government.

The courtier forced Qin Wenru to hold his breath, and immediately felt that he must go to the Qin family to walk around, and send people from a good family to the Chang'an county government to ask Song to find out what it looks like!

snort!

But Shicai's tough attitude, now he is ashamed to say it, and silently retreated to the queue as if he had slapped his face. Many courtiers who were about to move, and those who had eaten the food, all silently retreated.

The few people in the court who were the first to be harassed by Song Wen agreed with both hands and feet for Song Wen to go to the impoverished city.So they came out one after another, saying that Mr. Song is righteous, but it is a good way to show the kindness of the court, and Mr. Song must be sent, only he can lead the people in the impoverished city to have enough food and clothing!

With that blow, I can't wait to become Song Chui!

The other courtiers blushed for them.

The emperor didn't even think about not agreeing, Xiao Lue went, he made great achievements in the battle, there was Song Wen to pay more attention, then Xiao Lue's attention would be less, the emperor agreed with this very much, he nodded immediately, Someone ordered Song Wen to go to the besieged city to promote waterwheels and indoor planting.

The few courtiers who turned into Song Wenchui nodded and praised the emperor's sageness, but they were relieved, but they got the troubled county magistrate far away!

After the court, the emperor still didn't wait for Guo Shang to ask for the Holy Spirit.

And staring at the General's Mansion, the news came back, saying that Guo Shang met Gou Tou, and then everyone in the General's Mansion was packing their luggage, and it seemed that the people preparing for the entire General's Mansion would rush to the besieged city.

The emperor continued to wait.

But two days later, still no one went to see the emperor!

There was even more news that Gou Tou had taken the general's mansion up and down, as well as several carriages of food and grass that had been prepared for the past two days, and was ready to leave the city.

The emperor finally couldn't sit still, he went straight out of the palace to chase the dog, left the capital, chased him for more than ten miles outside the city, and finally caught up with the man.

Gou Tou jokingly said: "Is the emperor here to see us off? No need, let's go back quickly. I have to hurry up. General Xiao defends the besieged city alone, but he may not be able to defend it."

These words are very ironic, the Dali Dynasty has a lot of soldiers and horses, and the battle of the besieged city turned out to be defended by Xiao Lue alone.

The emperor's face darkened: "Goutou, do you think I really won't take your dog's head?"

of course not!

Goutou knew each other, turned to look at the emperor and sighed, "Does your majesty know why the late emperor chose you as emperor?" Without waiting for the emperor to answer, he continued, "Because you can listen to the words of your subordinates, and you can protect them if you need them. Not to mention far away, Song Wen, the magistrate of Chang'an County, is one. Mr. Song has bad manners and is also bold and reckless, but he has to use it, so the emperor is lenient to him, and does not take away his merits of building the first waterwheel, let him personally If it is carried out, his name will definitely be recorded in the annals of history in the future.”

Gou Tou sighed and said: "The former emperor once said that the emperor doesn't have to be outstanding himself. In this point of knowing people and doing things well, the prince is inferior to you!"

The emperor hadn't heard anyone mention the first emperor for many years, and his face was a little moved while riding on the horse.

Gou Tou asked again: "Does your majesty know why the late emperor gave the general the gold medal to save him from death?"

The emperor's face turned cold.

Yes, it wasn't that he wanted to let Xiao Lue go, but it was just to save face when he learned that Xiao Lue had a gold medal to protect him from the previous emperor's death, and that the Empress Dowager wanted to leave the last bloodline for the Prince.

It's a pity that Xiao Lue's life was spared at the beginning, and he was like a fish in water in the army. Even the Dali Dynasty relied on his illustrious military exploits.Zheng Zhengbiao, that idiot and idiot, is useless at all!

Gou Tou said: "Because the emperor, you and the queen mother will not be able to accommodate the general sooner or later."

Gou Tou came from the Prince's Mansion, he followed Xiao Lue since he was a child, and often followed the Emperor Xian, and he knew these old things the most.The Empress Dowager wanted to keep the prince's blood, but it was because Xiao Lue was an orphan and young.Now that Xiao Lue has become a great general with outstanding military exploits, can the Empress Dowager get close?Neither.

Both the emperor and the queen mother place too much emphasis on power, more than family affection.Not only Xiao Lue, but also the princess.

When Guo Shang returned to Beijing, Gou Tou not only packed his luggage for the past two days, but also inquired about the movement in the palace, only to learn that the princess had hanged herself—the one whom the queen mother casually said would marry Song Wen.

The cause was still the battle of the besieged city. The emperor repeatedly received urgent notices of the besieged city. He knew that Zheng Zhengbiao was unreliable, but the military generals in the court and the central government were all old, while the generals guarding several other border gates could not be moved. Xiao Lue.But the emperor tried to get married in order to prevent Xiao Lue from returning to the besieged city.

The war in the besieged city has dragged on for a long time, the princess was casually "given marriage" to Song Wen by the queen mother, and she knew something about her possible marriage, so she went out of the palace to look for Song Wen.If she was really pointed at by Song Wen that day, she would have a life.

pity……

The princess had a heart of achievement towards Song Wen and Xiao Lvxu, and returned to the palace resolutely without mentioning anything about herself.When the news of the marriage formally reached her palace, she hanged herself.But the palace kept it a secret, no one inside or outside the palace knew about it.

But once, the first emperor said: Never get along with each other!

Looking at the emperor on the opposite horse, Gou Tou got angry with him, got off his horse, and on the official road outside the capital, kowtowed to the sky and shouted: "The first emperor is holy!"

He called the first emperor, but his eyes were looking straight at the current emperor!
