Chapter 281 Court
After the words fell, all the court officials bowed and congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Including other princes under the throne.
They were also happy that Youlan Liangzhou was recovered one after another.
"It is indeed a cause for celebration. I am like a fish in water to have General Ling!" His Majesty Donglin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was the former eldest prince Zhao Chongxiu, who was about thirty years old.
He was dressed in black court robes, and looked majestic without even being angry.
Originally, Ling Yunxiao was not the one he favored the most, simply because the Ling family was not a family of military generals.
Although the Ling family's prestige remained undiminished, and Ling's father was the prime minister, he knew nothing about military tactics.
Ling Yunxiao is Ling Xiang's late son. Now that Ling Xiang is old, he has retired and returned to his hometown.
His Majesty Zhao Chongxiu glanced at the court officials who were smiling.
"The successive recovery of Youlan and Liangzhou is a blessing for the people and the country!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Zhao kowtowed:
"General Pingbei is a brave and heroic general. General Weiguo and General Zhenguan are also extraordinary. I have seen with my own eyes that they have made great contributions in the victory of the recovery of Liangzhou!"
"That's true!" His Majesty Zhao Chongxiu had long known all the events of Liangzhou's recovery from Ling Yunxiao's memorials. However, he had not experienced it personally, so he could only imagine the scenes in his mind.
But it must be said that General Ling used clever tactics to recapture Liangzhou, resulting in the least casualties among the soldiers.
Li Zhao wanted to say that he also made contributions. If he had not been captured by the enemy, General Ling would not have sent Zhang Yan and Jiang Yue to risk his life to rescue him.
You know, before he was captured, their reinforcements from the east had not yet arrived.
It can only be said that Donglin’s early victory this time was due to some luck.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the generals who defend the country and guard the border, I also found a young general at the border. This young general is fearless in the face of danger, has a clear mind, and his demeanor is no less than that of the general."
After hearing this, Zhao Chongxiu picked up the memorial written by Ling Yunxiao and asked:
"The name is Jiang Yue, right?"
In the memorial, the young general Jiang Yue was invincible, killing enemies and generals along the way, and his contribution was indispensable.
When he saw Jiang Yue's age, he looked at it several times and thought he was seeing things.
He joined the army at the age of thirteen, and by the age of fourteen, he had achieved what other soldiers could not.
When Li Zhao heard this, he realized that General Ling had already submitted the memorial, and thought that his action was unnecessary.
"It is Jiang Yue. I have heard about her heroic deeds many times from the soldiers at the border!"
"Really?" Even though Donglin was short of soldiers and generals, Zhao Chongxiu would not easily appoint a general.
For a scholar, it was extremely difficult even to pass the examination to become a student or a scholar.
Most soldiers come from grassroots backgrounds, and it must be extremely difficult for them to stand out in the military camp.
At this moment, after reading Ling Yunxiao's memorial, he had only one word to describe Jiang Yue:
That is fast.
It’s rising too fast!
Especially when seeing the memorial in which Ling Yunxiao praised Jiang Yue to the skies,
Although Ling Yunxiao only wrote about Jiang Yue's numerous military exploits in his memorial,
But in Zhao Chongxiu's view, it was all nonsense.
In his opinion, there is absolutely no such thing.
There are young generals, like Xia Yuanchen, who follow in their father's footsteps, or who are descendants of generations of military generals.
Originally, Ling Yunxiao was not a military general.
At this moment, Zhao Chongxiu was thinking about meeting this young general in person to find out whether there was any truth in what Ling Yunxiao said.
It is not impossible to be partial.
Well, when it comes to Jiang Yue, most of the civil officials in the court did not say a word. They did not know her and therefore had no right to speak.
After the victory, the next thing to deal with is the thorny issues at the border.
Zhao Chongxiu cleared his throat slightly and continued in a deep voice:
"Although Liangzhou belongs to us, Beiyan will not give up. General Ling wrote in his memorial that Beiyan is trying to cooperate with Xining to jointly attack our great country Donglin!"
When Zhao Chongxiu said this, all the court officials stopped smiling.
I thought the border was peaceful and General Ling could return to the capital, but unexpectedly, he still had to continue fighting.
"My dear brothers." Zhao Chongxiu's eyes fell on the four princes below him.
"Who's willing to fight?"
Zhao Chongxiu was afraid that Ling Yunxiao alone would not be able to handle the cooperation between the two countries.
The only thing he is afraid of is that the powerful country to the east will be destroyed by him.
The second and third princes usually study academic subjects, and neither of them can lead troops in battle.
The Fourth Prince was not doing his job properly, and his eyes were evasive at this moment.
Zhao Chongxiu set his sights on the fifth prince.
The fifth prince Zhao Chongxu clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries. I beg you to go to the battle!"
……
Taoyuan Village is in the busy farming season.
The Jiang family waited and waited, but Jiang Yue never came home.
Although Liu Chunfeng's attention was distracted by several great-grandchildren, he would still run to the village entrance from time to time.
That day, she was just about to go to the village entrance for a stroll.
Upon hearing the news that a lot of pensions had been sent from the border, he went to the village chief's house as soon as possible.
The village chief's house was unusually noisy at this time.
Some were smiling happily, while others were crying loudly.
"Sister Liu, these days are so hard to endure."
As soon as Liu Chunfeng went over, she was hugged by Li and cried excitedly. Li was smiling, but her face was full of tears. Thank God, her eldest grandson was still alive.
Liu Chunfeng patted Li on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, everything is okay."
Looking aside, another woman was crying bitterly.
Then, she was seen holding a high amount of pension and a letter from the government in her hands.
It is precisely because it takes time to issue the pension that it arrived today.
The woman couldn't catch her breath and fainted, causing Liu Chunfeng's legs to go weak.
Today, Lin Xiaoyong also came to inquire about his elder brother's current situation.
The rest of his family were working in the fields, but he was the only one who had quick legs and came here first.
Lin Xiaoyong, who came hurriedly, looked at Liu Chunfeng as soon as he arrived, wanting to know the news about Jiang Yue.
Apart from the few years they spent together at Yunzhu Academy, they had almost no contact since Jiang Yue entered Baichuan Academy.
Later, he learned that Jiang Yue had joined the army. He also wanted to join the army, but Zhang went on a hunger strike and stopped him from doing so, and asked his eldest brother to go instead.
The young Lin Xiaoyong looked less rebellious than before.
Because his father passed away last year, he has never been to other places since he has not completed any studies. He just accompanies his mother and works in the fields all day long.
His eldest brother joined the army and his father passed away, so he was the only one who supported the family.
Liu Chunfeng walked towards the village chief Zhao Zhu who was sighing with weak legs.
"Village Chief, is there any news about Xiaoliu and Lin Guo?"
The moment the village chief shook his head,
Liu Chunfeng felt relieved.
"Yes!" the village chief said again, and Liu Chunfeng felt both overjoyed and disappointed.
"have what?"
"There is the military pay sent by Xiaoliu. Xiaoliu's military pay is more than that of others." The village chief said again.
Liu Chunfeng stroked the little heart that was beating hard, as long as the person was okay.
She took the high military pay, crying and laughing,
At this moment my heart is still pounding.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyong looked at the village chief and listened to him:
"No news from your brother."
Lin Xiaoyong felt relieved. Now, his sister-in-law could finally rest assured.
