Chapter 349 Emperor Condolences
No.30 Seven Days of Yudu Trapped
Kamu received a letter from the wolf country, the letter was written by the wife of the national teacher.

The letter stated:
Qu Chu led Dayu's army to wipe out all the tens of thousands of wolf troops left on the northern border.

She also killed more than half of the people in Heishan City. None of the men over ten years old (except the old, sick and disabled) survived, and Heishan City was also bombed.

All the wolf king's family were poisoned and killed, and no one was spared.

These pieces of heavy news blew up the generals of the wolf country, followed by one after another of cursing, crying, and then... sobbing.

Kamu gritted his teeth and never said a word, but his face was terribly gloomy.

Kamu knew that the wolf country had to retreat, and the army of the wolf country had lost its morale. If it didn't retreat, the whole army would be wiped out!

This time the southward attack on the Dayu Kingdom was massive and started smoothly, but the result was still a crushing defeat!
No longer wanting to face the facts, Kamu also knew that he could only retreat.

He ordered with a sullen face: "Reorganize the army and return tomorrow."

……

The wolf army has withdrawn!

After hearing the news, Ning Youbei led Ye Yu'an, Su Ziyi, and Dai Anguo out of the city gate, and led the troops under General Guo and General Pei who had been stationed outside Yudu City to chase them away.

After Ning Youbei and the others left the city, the gates of Yudu were still closed, because everyone was worried that the army of the wolf country would come back.

However, the atmosphere in the city has eased a lot, and the haze that shrouded everyone's hearts has dissipated.

Many people didn't close their houses tightly like before, and opened the door to say hello to their neighbors, and even some courageous people took to the streets.

Three days later, small vendors selling vegetables appeared in the city of Yudu, and some grain, oil and rice stores were also open for business. The streets no longer only appeared with soldiers as they did during the war, but ordinary people also appeared.

Seven days later, although the gates of Yudu City hadn't opened yet, the streets had returned to [-]% of their usual bustle, and even some wives of noble families started to go out.

General Situ, Duke Huguo and Duke Zhenguo went down the city wall, leaving only young generals like Wang Liangcong guarding the city wall.

The emperor took Eunuch Rong with him, and under the support of Dai Linshan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he personally went to the three families to offer condolences.

The first thing the emperor went to was Zhen Guogong's mansion.

Inside Zhen Guogong's mansion, Princess Kang Ning came out with her son and daughter.

Princess Kang Ning, as the first emperor's daughter, has her own princess mansion, but the population of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion is thin, and the three generations are single-handed. Sui Lijing is not in Yudu, so Princess Kang Ning takes her children to live in Zhen Guo Gong's mansion to accompany the old country. male.

The emperor asked: "Where is the Duke?"

Princess Kang Ning is truly gentle and virtuous, she said softly: "The Duke just fell asleep. He is old and his health is not very good. He is struggling these days."

The emperor looked at the two children of Princess Kang Ning, who stood quietly behind Princess Kang Ning, without any publicity of royal nobles.

The emperor thought of the difficult years of the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and sighed in his heart.

"This time the capital of Yu was trapped, Duke Zhen contributed a lot to guarding the city gate, and General Sui also contributed a lot to leading troops to fight abroad. General Sui can still be promoted, but Lord Guo really doesn't know what to reward him.

When the Duke of the country wakes up, you can ask him for me, if you have any wishes, just mention them to me. "

The Duke of Zhen is a hereditary Duke of the first rank, and he can only be granted the title of king of the opposite sex. This has never happened in the history of Dayu Kingdom, and the emperor will not set this precedent.

Princess Kang Ning responded with a gentle voice.

……

After coming out of Zhen Guogong's mansion, the emperor went to General Situ's mansion first because he was on the way.

General Situ's mansion is even more deserted than the mansion of Duke Zhenguo.

Looking at the gray-haired General Situ, the emperor felt emotional.

"General Situ, have you considered finding two people to serve you? Or adopting a child?"

"Thank you for your concern, I don't want to harm other women at my age.

As for the matter of inheriting the incense, Youbei told me that after I die, Qingyu Qingheng can pay homage to the ancestors of the Situ family for me. "

Hearing what General Situ said, the emperor stopped persuading him.

Although they are both Concubine Chen's children, the relationship between General Situ and Ning Youbei is much deeper than the relationship between him and the emperor. Therefore, General Situ and the emperor do not talk so casually.

The emperor was born in the prince's mansion. At the beginning, General Situ rarely went to see Concubine Chen and the emperor to avoid suspicion, so he and the emperor were not very familiar.

Ning Youbei was born in the imperial palace. At that time, General Situ was already serving in the Imperial Forest Army. Whenever he was free, he would visit Concubine Chen and Ning Youbei.After the death of Concubine Chen, General Situ was afraid that Ning Youbei would be murdered, so he watched whenever he had time.

When Concubine Chen passed away, Ning Youbei was only a little over one year old, and General Situ had been staring at her for more than ten years, so the relationship between the two was naturally deep.

There is another reason: Ning Youbei and Concubine Chen look very similar, love the house and Wu, General Situ naturally prefers Ning Youbei emotionally.

Just like General Situ likes Ning Qingheng very much now.

……

The last thing the emperor went to was the Duke Huguo's mansion.

Compared with Zhen Guogong's mansion and Situ General's mansion, the Huguogong's mansion is much more lively.

Apart from his wife, Duke Hu also had several concubines and concubines. It was only because Chen Qinhua, the eldest son of Duke Hu, was too shrewd and capable that the concubines of Duke Hu's mansion couldn't get ahead.

After the emperor arrived at the Duke Huguo's mansion, he met Chen Yinyu by accident.

After talking about the awards with Duke Hu Guo, the emperor casually asked, "Cousin returned to her mother's house today?"

Mrs. Hu Guogong's face changed, and she was trying to hide something, but Chen Yinyu said it without any scruples.

"It's been a long time since I've been living in my mother's house. The Cui family is like this now. I live with them and I still have to subsidize their money. Why?"

This made the emperor a little embarrassed.

To say that this cousin's marriage is indeed not going well.

Chen Yinyu has loved Youbei since she was a child, but it's a pity that Luohua is intentional and flowing water is ruthless. Later, she and Deng Mingyu were bestowed a marriage by herself, but Deng Mingyu hanged herself on Su Yingxue's poisonous flower with a stick.

In the end, Cui's family was chosen for Chen Yinyu.

The Cui family are all honest people, originally thinking that Chen Yinyu would be able to live a good life after marrying her, but how could she have imagined that Concubine Shu, who has always been honest, would be so bold as to inject a deadly poison on herself, thus implicating the Cui family.

All the officials of the three clans of the Cui family were dismissed from office, and the family properties of the three clans were fined and confiscated.

The emperor didn't feel that he had treated the Cui family too seriously. If Su Yingxue hadn't been there, he would have died long ago.

According to the law, the crime committed by Concubine Shu was to punish the three clans, and I was exempted from the crime of punishing the clan because of Cui Shangshu's years of hard work.But Chen Yinyu, who married into Cui's family, was implicated.

The emperor looked at the Duke Protector who had aged a few years due to the defense of the city, and his heart was rarely softened.

"Uncle, I am also responsible for my cousin, what do you guys think?"
