Chapter 1727 Official Promotion

Cruel, so cruel.

How could he be so vicious?

However, for Emperor Jingyuan, the only prince he could care about was Chu Qianyuan, the queen's son. Unfortunately, Brother Yuan was already dead.

As for Dun Geer, the eighth prince born to Concubine Yi, perhaps Emperor Jingyuan had some father-son affection for him, but he mostly used him to warn the older princes.

Let them know that he is more than just their older sons, and if they disobey, he can train a younger one to succeed him.

Meng Shuyu felt very sad. After returning to her residence, she cried loudly.

After crying, he called the female official and packed up a festival gift in person, explaining: "In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. I begged the Queen Mother for her grace, and the queen mother promised me that I can send the festival gift back to my parents' home. That's it, you Do it carefully and send the gift back to the Meng family tomorrow."

The female officer bowed and responded: "Yes."

It is not easy for a concubine to send festive gifts back to her parents' home. She has to ask for grace and report before she can send things out of the palace.

Meng Shuyu was favored by the Queen Mother, so she could successfully deliver the Boxing Day gift to the British government the next day.

A few years have passed, and the British Duke's mansion is no longer what it used to be. It still looks majestic and solemn from the outside, but once you enter the mansion, you can see mottled marks everywhere. This means that there is no money left to repair the mansion.

The female official came from the British government, and it was uncomfortable to see the British government in such a state.

"Concubine Yu is back with a gift?!" Meng Shuyu's parents were very happy and met the female official in person.

The female officer saluted them: "In reply to the words of the eldest man and madam, the Queen Mother has given grace, allowing Concubine Yu to send the festival gifts back to her parents' home."

The eldest lady of the Meng family was extremely happy: "The queen mother is indeed thinking about her old relationship. It is right for us to let the empress take the path of the queen mother. I guess it won't be long before the concubine Yu will be as favored as the one from the Ran family and give birth to a prince."

But not long after she was happy, Meng Shuyu's father found a letter written by Concubine Yu from the boxing gift. After the couple read the letter, they burst into tears and cursed the old British husband: "Bad ideas, all bad ideas from the dead old man..." It’s over, the Meng family is over!”

The British government did not become happy because the concubine sent a gift to her parents' family. Instead, they cried and made a fuss, as if someone had died in the family.

The old British father-in-law was already ill in bed. After reading the letter sent by Concubine Yu, he regretted it...but what he regretted was not betraying Wei Guogong's lineage, but regretting that he had been good friends with Old Wei Guogong. Meng Shuyu once got engaged to Wei Erlang!

But it's too late to regret it. Now if the British government wants to rise again, it has to find another backer.

But who can they look for?

In the past few years, the emperor has been treating the British government as if there is no such thing, and he will not let his concubine get pregnant. Who dares to help such a government?

But the old British duke was not convinced. His British duke had made great contributions to Chu, but now the Chu family wanted to do this to his family. No, he wouldn't agree!

The old British Duke wanted to find a way out for the British government like crazy. He actually sent people to inquire about the sons of Xu You's family, as if he wanted to marry Xu You's family.

Emperor Jingyuan has been secretly sending people to keep an eye on the British Duke's family to prevent the British Duke's contact with people from Wei Guogong's line. However, after several years of watching, he failed to use the British Duke's government to find any surviving people from Wei Guogong's line. Get this information.

"Idiot!" Emperor Jingyuan cursed, but he felt that scolding such an idiot was unnecessary.

However, Emperor Jingyuan continued to keep people watching the British government, just in case.

In the next few days, Emperor Jingyuan was secretly discussing something with Ming Cong and the others. On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he finally agreed to Xu Youxian's request to stop fighting and recuperate.

At the same time, he issued several decrees.

The other is an imperial edict to confer Xu Youzhong as Marquis of Chu, granting him an iron coupon with an alchemy book, which can be hereditary and irreplaceable.

Now is not the time for the founding of the country. It is extremely rare to obtain a hereditary and irreplaceable title.

But this is the title...Zhongchuhou, it would be fine if Xu You didn't rebel, but if he did, the word "Zhongchu" would be disgusting.

However, the ministers still praised Emperor Jingyuan's sage and rewarded his meritorious ministers generously.

One is to re-employ Qi Yi, who was demoted by him, and appoint him as the magistrate of Long'an Prefecture.

This appointment may seem like nothing, but Qi Yi is a confidant of Emperor Jingyuan. He sent him to Long'an Mansion as a co-inspector. It can be seen that he is required to keep an eye on General Xu. Once Xu You shows signs of rebellion, Qi Yi can immediately give him to him. He delivers news.

One is to ennoble General Cheng as the second-grade Zhenxi General and assist Xu You in guarding the Daokougou camp.

With this decree, anyone with a brain would know that Emperor Jingyuan was really afraid that Xu You would rebel, and wanted to support a general in Zhenxi to divide Xu You's military power.

However, General Cheng is indeed very capable. Now Da Chu and the Rong bandits are still facing each other in Daokou Gou. Putting such capable generals in the Daokou Gou camp, even Xu You can't find anything to say.

The next few imperial edicts were to confer generals such as General Dai.

As for those who have made meritorious services, such as Qianhu, Baihu, and General Banner, there is no imperial edict. The Ministry of War writes a letter of appointment, stamps it, and issues it directly.

The fact that Qin Sanlang was promoted to Qianhu's clerk was included in many appointment letters.

All the ministers were shocked. Is the emperor crazy again?

This Qin Sanlang was the man who beheaded the generals of the Rong thief royal family. After achieving such a great feat, he was only allowed to live in a thousand households?

But no one would say anything. After all, Qin Sanlang was a mud-legged man, and they didn't want a mud-legged man to climb up and compete with their disciples for seats.

Emperor Jingyuan not only promoted Qin Sanlang to a thousand households, but also personally asked Dai Shangshu to assign him to Mu County to guard the first line of defense with Xu You's veterans.

Daokou Valley is located in Mu County, which is followed by Cunning County, Gaoshui County and Shuohe County.

Qin Sanlang, as a former Baihu in the south, even if he made great achievements, logically speaking, due to his lack of experience, he would only be placed on the second and third lines of defense to practice.

He went to Mu County from the very beginning and pierced Xu You's many confidants and veterans like a knife. This... Did Emperor Jingyuan want Qin Sanlang to guard against Xu You, or did he want Qin Sanlang to join Xu You?

This is a difficult problem.

If that mud-legged guy is not handled well, he will probably be killed by both Xu You and Emperor Jing Yuan at the same time.

However, the ministers did not care about Qin Sanlang's life or death, but Qi Yi did.

Qi Yi learned the news not long after receiving the imperial edict. He frowned and sighed: "You want to employ people, but you also make things difficult for them. Can't you treat them sincerely?"

Mrs. Qi knew that he was talking about Emperor Jingyuan, and said worriedly: "Husband, please don't say these things again, or you will get hurt again."

Qi Yi looked at Mrs. Qi and saw tears in her eyes, and said guiltily: "Okay, let's not talk anymore. Don't worry, Ashu."

Then he smiled bitterly and said: "Originally I wanted to take you to the south, but this time I will make Ah Shu suffer by going to the northwest with me."

Mrs. Qi shook her head: "No matter where we go, as long as our family stays together."

Since Qi Yi was beaten by Emperor Jing Yuan last time, Qi Yi and his wife decided to leave the capital as a family. No matter where they go, they must leave the capital!

Then he smiled and said: "And we are going back to the northwest. We have spent many years in the northwest. Now we are back to our hometown. It is a blessing."

Qi Yi nodded: "It is indeed a blessing. You don't know it yet, but the man Qin Sanlang who killed the general was the husband of the second girl of the Gu family. It was the second girl of the Gu family who he met when he was fleeing the famine, and who saved our son. "
