my wife is wonderful

The content of this edict made everyone in the uncle's house, especially the Geng Xun Xia family and the Yao family, feel like the weather in summer, from clear skies to stormy rains in just an instant.

He has an official position, but he is only an eighth-grade captain, and he has to go to Canghanwei thousands of miles away, which is the far north of Daning. Every August, the north wind starts blowing, and in September it starts snowing. More than half of the winter is a truly bitter cold place.

Moreover, Canghan Guard is so far away. According to the normal carriage journey, it will take at least more than a month to set off from Ningdu City. Now Emperor Shengning's decree clearly stipulates that Geng Shulou must arrive within one month. , even Geng Wen and Geng Yan, who was not sensitive to these things, felt that something was wrong.

This imperial edict looks like grace, but is actually punishment.

Looking at Geng Shulou's injured appearance again, Geng Wen felt a little nervous. He listened carefully to the high-pitched voice above reciting the more obscure words in the imperial edict. After listening, he was sure that besides Geng Shu Apart from Lou's arrangement, there was no mention of the uncle's mansion or other people in the uncle's mansion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Uncle Anping, take the order!"

The eunuch handed the bright yellow scroll to Geng Xun with both hands. Geng Xun's heart was tumbling, but he had to maintain a grateful smile on the outside as he bowed at the waist and took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Eunuch Liu, this..."

"Okay, now that the emperor's decree has been read out, let's say goodbye. There are still many things waiting for our family in the palace!"

Geng Xun had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by Eunuch Liu's sharp voice.

Geng Xun thought about it and dug into his sleeves, but found nothing.

It had been too long since the uncle had received an imperial edict. He was already unfamiliar with the entire process of receiving an imperial edict, and he had even forgotten the customary reward in his sleeve.

Geng Xun immediately looked at his two sons, but neither Geng Wen nor Geng Yan could accurately receive what their father meant.

Geng Xun sighed deeply in his heart. If his second son was still here, how could he have the troubles he has now.

He looked at his most valued eldest grandson again. Geng Shuhuai was usually the most thorough, but this time the imperial edict came in a hurry, and he was seriously injured. Geng Shuhuai and two young men helped him over. , naturally no other preparations were made.

Eunuch Liu watched for a while, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he was about to sneer when he saw Geng Xingyue suddenly squeezed to Geng Xun's side and took out a pink purse from his sleeve with several gorgeous flowers embroidered on it. No matter what kind of pattern it is, it only makes people think that the whole purse looks extremely gaudy, but the purse is actually bulging.

"Grandpa, give it!"

Whether Geng Xingyue was taking the purse or handing it over, he did not do it very secretly or remain calm. Geng Xun hesitated for a moment, then took the purse and handed it to Eunuch Liu.

Geng Xingshuang originally thought that Eunuch Liu would not accept it. It was not that he was not greedy for money, but that the purse came to him under his nose. If he accepted it, wouldn't it appear that he asked for it on his own initiative? Things like this are usually done covertly and everyone knows it well.

Eunuch Liu seemed to want to say something, but when he saw the count's official uniform that Geng Xun was wearing, he said nothing more. Then, before Geng Xingshuang could barely see his movements, the pink purse in Geng Xun's hand disappeared.

Seeing Eunuch Liu take the purse, Geng Xun breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again, "Eunuch Liu, my grandson has been in Ningdu City since he was born. He has never traveled far away. If he has to leave suddenly, it is better to go to Canghan. Wei Na and other bitter cold places, and his father is no longer here. As a grandfather, I always have to care a little more. I wonder if my father-in-law can make it clear?"

Express what?Geng Xun didn't say anything clearly, and Eunuch Liu didn't ask any more questions.

However, after receiving the money and just feeling the weight in the purse, there should be nearly ten taels, so Eunuch Liu was quite satisfied.

His position in the palace is not as glamorous as it seems, otherwise it would not be his turn to carry out such orders of overt praise and covert derogation.

Fortunately, he was always prepared, and this time was no exception. "Uncle, forgive me for speaking so bluntly, but your eldest grandson is in trouble here!"

Eunuch Liu pointed to his forehead and looked at Geng Shulou.

Although he lowered his voice, the room was so big and everyone was focused on Eunuch Liu and Geng Xun. It could be said that they were almost holding their breath.

Although not every word was heard clearly, the general meaning was understood.

Rumor has it that King Li was deprived of the title of prince and demoted to a commoner because he privately opened gold and iron mines in Mincheng. Later, because the court was aware of it, when Emperor Shengning ordered a thorough investigation, he He took the initiative to hand over the gold mine to the court and gave a high-sounding reason, but Emperor Shengning did not delve into it.

But in fact, the most important thing in Mincheng is not the gold mine, but the iron mine. In recent years, the iron produced by the iron mine every year can polish thousands of iron tools.

And Geng Shulou went to Dali Temple to sue King Li. Not only did he use the iron mine to secretly cast swords, guns, swords and halberds and other weapons, but what was even more outrageous was that he sold such important things as iron to Daning's neighboring country, Hao Yanguo.

The most important thing is that Geng Shulou had been aware of this matter for a long time, but only said it at this time.

Although Hao Yan has not started another war with Daning in the past few decades, there have been conflicts dating back a hundred years.

The Daning Law even states that iron and iron tools are not allowed to be sold to other countries. Even in blacksmith shops, there are quantity restrictions when selling iron tools such as farm tools and iron pots. If someone wants to make a weapon such as a sword, , and you need to go to the government to report it to get one or two.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole court was in an uproar. Even if Emperor Shengning wanted to protect his son, the civil and military ministers of the court would not agree.

"After King Li was demoted to a commoner, the elders were not at ease. They heard that he has been taken to a small courtyard in the Imperial Mansion and is being guarded."

Eunuch Liu sighed, straightened up, and glanced at Geng Shulou, "Young Master, your courage is commendable!"

After saying that, Shi Shiran ignored Geng Xun's plea to stay and left.

Geng Shulou looked very calm, as if he had already expected such a result.

After Eunuch Liu left, he saluted Geng Xunxia and said, "Grandpa and grandma, time is tight. My grandson must go back and prepare quickly. We will set off tomorrow!"

"I'll leave tomorrow, but your injury..."

Yao said in shock.

Geng Shulou shook his head, "It's just a flesh wound..."

"Brother, weren't you the smartest in the family before? We haven't seen each other for a few years, but why have you become stupid? Even the father-in-law in the palace said that you are not smart. When he goes back and tells the emperor, it will be difficult for you to get ahead in the future. !”

Geng Xingyue pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Oh, I thought it would be a good thing when I came back, but I didn't expect it to be a bad thing..."

"Shut up!" Ms. Xia gritted her teeth and scolded, with a look on her face that she wanted to eat Geng Xingyue.

Geng Xingyue was startled by Xia's expression, but she also felt that something was wrong with Xia, so she curled her lips and did not dare to say anything more.
