Red House Shoufu

Chapter 197 Imperial Decree Rewards
Da da da……

Three thousand cavalry appeared twenty miles north of Daming Mansion, and the scouts arranged by Tan Mingming had already spotted them.

Of course, the scouts under Xu Jingsi's command also noticed that someone was staring at them. It was not until Tan Mingming, who was patrolling nearby, arrived after hearing the news, that the tense atmosphere ended.

The two had a big hug, and Xu Jingsi punched Tan Mingming: "What's the matter? I've been regarded as a bandit by your people for wearing the flag of the imperial army? If you come later, my people will show their swords." gone."

Tan Mingming smiled wryly: "I can't help it. Since the collapse of the White Lotus Sect, under the rule of the entire Daming Mansion, bandits pretending to be officers and soldiers and looting houses from time to time, and there are also large groups of troops wearing the armor of the Imperial Army holding the banner of the Imperial Army to harm the people. The mansion in the city is limited. We can only defend passively, and the brothers are also like soldiers, and they are a little dazed."

Xu Jingsi said in surprise: "The situation is so serious, take me to Fucheng to see Bachelor Lin, there is a purpose!"

……

Tan Mingming first sent someone to inform Lin Shu of the arrival from the capital city, and the north city gate opened wide, and Lin Shu, Jia Zheng, Du Zimu and other city officials greeted the imperial edict outside the city gate.

After the continuous torrential rain, the scorching sun hung in the sky, and the sultry air made people drowsy.

Boom... da da da...

Suddenly, a torrent of iron armor appeared in front of them, and the elite imperial army armed to the teeth came straight south, and a strong sense of oppression instantly fell in front of everyone.

The leader, Xu Jingsi, was wearing armor. After dismounting from his horse, he clenched his right hand across his chest and bowed to salute Lin Shu: "The last general, Commander of the Right Martial Guards, Xu Jingsi, please refer to the imperial envoy!"

Lin Shu laughed, and helped Xu Jingsi up: "General Xu is free, we are old acquaintances, and you have done me a big favor by bringing troops here this time!"

"Bachelor, the palace has sent a servant over, let's take the order first!" Xu Jingsi reminded Lin Shu, and then saw a familiar servant coming over with the imperial order.

"Imperial decree! Lin Shu, a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, Du Zimu, the inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jia Lian, the envoy of the Longjinwei Town, and Qianhu Tan of the Zuoying Zuoying of the Longjinwei Mingming received the order!"

The incense table had been prepared long ago, and everyone knelt behind the incense table and shouted: "I wait for you to listen to the oracle, long live, long live, long live!"

"I heard that there was chaos in Henan, and the Bailian gangsters took advantage of the natural disaster to confuse the people and gather people to rebel...Fortunately, there are virtuous ministers and generals, loyal and loyal, who are not afraid of life and death, and kill the enemy to calm the people. Loyal and brave ministers, I should honor them. The Imperial Academy attendant lecturer bachelor Lin Shu, after being loyal, he is versatile in both civil and military affairs, and is the pillar of the country. Special Jin Zhongshun doctor, Zhan Shifu's young Zhan Shi, bestow an imperial treasure, a hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron, long live long live long live!"

"Jia Lian, the envoy of Longjian Guards, fearless of life and death in the face of powerful enemies, is brave and good at fighting. He was named General Zhaoyong, and he was given a hundred taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk as a tribute."

"My minister Jia Zheng's nephew Jia Lian thanked the emperor for his kindness, long live long live long live long live!"

"Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, is loyal to his duties, protects the environment and the people, and is conscientious... He is a doctor of the Jin dynasty and a doctor of the Ministry of Industry. Yin Qi's son entered the Imperial Academy and was given a hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live long live long live!"

"Du Zimu, the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is not afraid of hardships, life and death... He is a doctor of the Jin Dynasty, and he leads the left concubine of Zhan Shifu. He has experience in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I will give you a hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you for the emperor's grace, long live long live long live!"

"Dragon Guard Qianhu Tan Mingming, brave and good at fighting... Feng Xuanwu General, Dragon Guard Zuoying Commander, bestow a hundred taels of gold."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron, long live long live long live!"

After the servant announced five imperial decrees, he took out another imperial decree and declared loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree. The army and people of the Daming Mansion fought against the rebellious officials and thieves, causing heavy casualties. I ordered Lin Shu, the governor of Henan Military and Political Affairs, to temporarily take charge of the Daming Mansion. Make Jia Zheng and Du Zimu as assistants, and wait for the officials appointed by the imperial court to make the delivery. The subjects are in trouble, and I feel the same. I am hereby exempting the Daming Mansion from taxes for three years under the rule of the Daming Mansion, so as to recuperate. Those who have meritorious deeds will be reported to the central government by the imperial envoys. Show its merits. This is it!"

This decree ignited the atmosphere in Fucheng to a climax. Three years of taxation will definitely allow the common people to save a lot of money.The common people knelt on the ground following Lin Shu and others, shouting the emperor, the emperor, and the emperor.

After Lin Shu welcomed the group into the government office, the servant took out a secret letter from his pocket: "Bachelor, this is written by His Majesty himself. Your Majesty said that you need to make up your own mind about some things. Do it with confidence and be bold." do it!"

Lin Shu cupped his hands and turned to the north: "Your Majesty is a wise man, it is really a blessing for my subjects to have such a wise king. Father-in-law will go to rest first. I am afraid he is exhausted after traveling thousands of miles. After I finish writing the letter, I will ask father-in-law to take it back to the capital tomorrow to present it to you." His Majesty."

……

Those who followed the army going south were not only the servants who proclaimed the decree, but also a large number of rewards for the army.

Jia Zheng and Du Zimu were busy sorting these materials into different categories and sending and receiving them. Except that they were not allowed to drink alcohol, the entire camp and the soldiers on duty on the top of the city were laughing and laughing.

The common people also received food, cloth, copper coins and other items issued by the imperial court. This time defending the city, more than a thousand young and strong were killed or injured, and almost every city had a white funeral.

After reading the emperor's secret letter, Lin Shu didn't reply immediately.He walked out of the study and came to Jia Lian's cultivation yard.

Before entering the courtyard gate, I saw Ping'er hiding outside the house, and Jia Lian's muffled groan came from inside, and there were a few angry curses from time to time.

"Miss Ping'er..."

Hearing someone calling her, Ping'er wiped away tears, and saluted: "Slave maid greets the bachelor, the second master is changing the medicine..."

Lin Shu sat on a stone bench in the courtyard and motioned Ping'er to sit down.

"Is the old lady, uncle, and sister-in-law all okay? I was busy just now, so I didn't bother to ask."

Ping'er glanced at the direction of the room, sighed and said: "Since the news of the second master's injury came back to the capital, the old lady was very worried and cried for a long time. The master also drank alone in the study until the imperial decree came... The second grandma gave birth to the eldest sister at the end of the seventh day of the seventh child, the master loved it very much, and gave the eldest sister the jade pendant that the grandfather gave him back then..."

Following Ping'er's narration, Lin Shu had a general understanding of the recent situation in Rongguo Mansion.Knowing that Wang Xifeng gave birth to a daughter on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Lin Shu thought that this should be the sister Qiao in the original book. Sure enough, some things can be changed, and some things are really destined.

Ping'er remembered Daiyu's entrustment before leaving, so she went back to the side room to fetch a bundle, handed it to Lin Shu, and said, "This is what the county master asked the slave to bring to the slave before she left Beijing. It is full of clothes and shoes. The county master said, As autumn is approaching, let the bachelors pay more attention to their health."

Lin Shu opened the bag, and there were indeed two robes inside, including the shoes, all in Lin Shu's favorite color

Judging from the above stitches, one of them was made by Daiyu, and the other was sewn by Wang Yuan herself.

　Let’s stop here today and continue tomorrow.
