My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 138 Second Grade Imperial Order
Mrs. Wang's fainting was like a fuse, detonating the whole yard, and everyone was in chaos for a while.

Even the elders such as Jia She and Jia Zheng looked panicked, let alone the juniors.

Baoyu and the girls all looked pale, and the servants became even more confused and commotion.

Seeing this scene, Jia Mu sighed softly: "My father-in-law, I was still wondering just now, how could your Majesty reward our eldest girl with such a great favor for no reason, including a second-grade imperial edict and a gold medal?" Registered, my feelings are asking Brother Yu to lead the army on an expedition!"

If what Xiao Guizi said just now that the Mongolian Tatars were about to attack was a thunder, Jia Mu's words were like a bolt of lightning.

Everyone now understood why the emperor suddenly rewarded Yuanchun for no reason. This was Jia Yu's "life money".

The words "lead the troops to fight" sound ordinary, but after experiencing the defeat of the prince at Tengtong Pass and the return of less than [-] soldiers from the [-]-strong army, even a fool knows that war is no joke.

In just a few days, the [-]-strong army was completely defeated. Wang Ziteng himself was seriously injured and fell into a coma. This shows the cruelty of the battlefield.

When Jia Mu said this, the little prince smiled coquettishly and said, "Old lady, as the saying goes, thunder and rain are all your kindness. How can we slaves dare to speculate on His Majesty's thoughts?"

"That's all." Jia Mu suddenly lost interest.

She waved to Yuanchun on the side: "Big girl, come here."

Although Yuanchun's face was a little pale at this time, he still supported Mrs. Wang who had just woken up with a maid.

When she heard Jia Mu calling her, she handed Mrs. Wang to another maid and walked slowly to Jia Mu's side.

Mother Jia touched her pretty face and sighed softly: "Girl, you have a hard life.

Although he was born into a noble family, he did not enjoy a few days of happiness.

She was sent to that shameful place at the age of 13. She originally thought that she had just been released from the palace, married Brother Yu, and finally started to live a good life.

I never thought that I would encounter this kind of thing just after I returned home.

My little girl, why is your life so miserable? "

"Ancestor!"

Yuanchun couldn't help but threw himself into Jia Mu's arms and cried bitterly.

Looking at the grandfather and grandson hugging each other and crying, Yingchun, Tanchun and all the maids and wives also shed tears.

Jia Yu's face turned dark.

What's going on with these old ladies?

I'm not dead yet, it's as if I've died in battle. How much do you think you despise me?
He was too lazy to pay attention to these women and walked directly to Xiao Guizi:
"My dear father-in-law, since it is His Majesty who has orders, it is natural for a minister to obey them.

Let me go back to my house to prepare. "

Xiao Guizi said respectfully: "Master Jia, please!"

Jia Yu nodded, walked to Jia Mu and Yuan Chun, and said softly: "Madam, my husband is going back home to make preparations. You can stay here to talk to the old lady first. You can go back to the house at noon in three hours." Come and accompany His Majesty and all the civil and military officials in the military parade!"

"Ok!"

Yuanchun wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, looked at Jia Yu affectionately and chanted softly: "A woman's conquest is a conquest for her husband, and she will die for her country when she is pregnant. The emperor will lay down the earth for the plug, and the concubine will be the rock on the mountain."

Listening to Yuanchun's soft but firm recitation of the "Chapter of a Wife Recruitment", Jia Yu couldn't help but feel excited for a moment.

He couldn't help but hugged Yuanchun and held her tightly in his arms.

There was an exclamation of surprise all around.This move stunned everyone.

In this age where men and women are very defensive, it takes a lot of courage for young men and women to even say something explicit in public, let alone hug each other.

"oops!"

Daiyu was the first to exclaim, and then she covered her eyes with her little hands, followed closely by the second and third...

But for some reason, the gap between their fingers is really wide.

As for married women such as Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Mrs. Xing, they were much more courageous. Just looking at the two people hugging each other in silence, a trace of envy flashed in their eyes.

Fortunately, Jia Yu didn't hold her for long before she let go. He laughed and hugged everyone: "Old lady, father-in-law and mother-in-law, brothers and sisters, Jia Yu will take his leave first. Let's meet for lunch. See you at the door!"

After that, he turned around and strode outside, leaving only the Jia family members staring at his back...

Wenyuan Pavilion of Daming Palace
Emperor Changping sat at the head of the throne, and dozens of civil and military officials stood under him, filling the huge hall.

At this time, all the officials' faces were filled with solemn expressions.

In front of them, stood two officers with sloping armor and wretched looks. They were the commander-in-chief of the Ganxian Battalion, the second-class male Shi Guangzhu and the commander-in-chief Yang Wei, who had followed Wang Ziteng back from Tongguan. Official, third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shang.

Emperor Changping, who had a dark face, glared at the embarrassed two people in front of him and asked in a cold voice: "Which one of you will tell me how the battle of Tongguan was defeated?"

The two of them knelt down with a pop, and Shi Guangzhu cried: "Your Majesty... Last month, after Wang Jieshuai led an army of [-] from Beijing to Tongguan, our army started a fierce battle with the Mongolian Tatars in Tongguan.

Although the Tatars attacked the city fiercely, our army relied on the favorable geographical location of Tongguan, and the two sides fought fairly smoothly.

But six days ago, the Mongolian Tatars suddenly mobilized dozens of returning artillery to launch a fierce attack on Tongguan.

The Huihui artillery was extremely ferocious. The sound of those Huihui cannons shook the heaven and the earth. The huge rocks were all destroyed and sunk seven feet into the ground. Although the Tongguan city was strong, it finally collapsed under the attack of the giant cannons. Then the Mongolian cavalry swarmed in.

Although Commander Ji led his troops to resist desperately, he was outnumbered.

During the fierce battle, the commander-in-chief was hit by two arrows and seriously injured. Then our army was finally defeated and Tongguan fell. "

After finishing speaking, Shi Guangzhu burst into tears.

Emperor Changping clenched his hands so tightly that even his nails dug into his flesh without even realizing it.

He said with a livid face: "As for the artillery... Tongguan has deployed dozens of Hongyi cannons. Could it be that they can't defeat the Tatars' returning artillery?"

"Your Majesty, the artillery powder and projectiles have been exhausted in the previous battles, and the supplies from the rear have not been shipped for a long time.

The soldiers...the soldiers were using their flesh and blood to resist the Tartar cannons! "

He looked at Shi Guangzhu, who was lying on the ground crying.

Several ministers in the cabinet turned pale for a while. If the reason for the fall of Tongguan was, as Shi Guangzhu said, it was because supplies from the rear failed to arrive in time, they would be the culprits, and Tan Qingyun, the chief minister of the cabinet, It is the first to bear the brunt.

Emperor Changping's knife-like eyes stared at Tan Qingyun.

At this time, he wanted to drag this so-called elder of the Three Dynasties out and behead him immediately.
