Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

After changing the plaque, it's time to entertain the guests.

Su Mu was not in the capital, and Mrs. Wu was inconvenient to meet guests, so she blocked the postings sent by officials from various yamen in the capital.He only held a small banquet at home, and invited his father Wu Shiqi and his younger brother Wu Nianzu's family to enjoy themselves.

In the past, Su Mu acted in a high-profile way, but Mrs. Wu was calm-tempered, and she didn't like to show off on weekdays.

I just had a few glasses of wine with my father and younger brother's family at noon, and let everyone leave early.

The weather was so hot that it was frustrating, Mrs. Wu missed her husband in her heart, and in the morning, she heard Xiaodie said that Su Mu would probably go home in a few days, and a ball of fire burned in her heart.

Sitting in the gazebo in the backyard, looking at a pool of lotus, Mrs. Wu's longing was even more irresistible.

Yes, the master has been out of Kyoto for almost a year.

On the day I left, I said that I was taking my daughter on a business trip, and by the way, I wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the suburbs of Beijing.

But this time, there was no news.

After more than ten days, he brought home a letter saying that he had gone to Shanxi.

The master went to Shanxi just like that, causing chaos at home, and everyone couldn't figure out why he had to go there.

After another period of time, Mrs. Wu turned pale with shock when she saw the imperial palace report.Only then did I know that my master went to Shanxi with Emperor Zhengde in disguise, and presided over the use of troops against the Tatars.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of troops continued to march towards Shanxi, shaking the government and the public, and shaking the world.

Mrs. Wu was frightened enough by what Su Mu did, is the battle so easy to fight?

Although the master is the No. 1 scholar in the country, he is just a weak scholar in the end, how can he lead soldiers?Besides, on the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, if he has a good or bad thing, his family will die.

Moreover, my father and younger brother also said that the emperor's personal conquest was strongly opposed by the ministers, and the emperor took the drastic method of going out of Beijing in a subdued manner.

This time, if we use troops against the Tatars, if we win, it will be a good thing.If you lose, the emperor will certainly lose face.Su Mu, who is the counselor for military affairs, will also be greatly implicated, and might even be used as a scapegoat by the court.Even if he can escape safely, the future will be bleak.

The Tatars are so easy to fight. According to rumors, those prairie barbarians are tall and strong, and they all look like Hu Jinxue. No, compared with them, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are simply weak chickens.Not only are they human beings, grassland horses are not called horses, they are a head taller than Central Plains horses, and they are simply beasts.

Hearing Wu's second son speak vividly, Mrs. Wu was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night.

Fortunately, when the news of the imperial court's victory came, her heart was at ease.

It's all right now, the master is finally going home, and this time he can finally be reunited with him.

That's right, the master is now the Marquis, should I have a son for him so that he can inherit his title in the future?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wu's face turned red, and she hurriedly looked around, but luckily there was no one else around.

Just thinking about things like this, I sat blankly by the edge of the lotus pond, and I don't know how long it took before the sun slowly set.

It was already dinner time, and Mrs. Wu finally cooled down. She was about to enter the house when she suddenly heard the noise of people everywhere in the house.

She frowned slightly, and thought: Maybe Xiaodie is giving reward money, one tael per person, which is equivalent to an extra month of money, no wonder they are happy.However, now our Su family can be regarded as a family of bells and lanterns at any rate, and it is not proper to shout and shout when things happen.

Just about to get up to see what happened, she saw the servant girl rushing over: "Ma'am, Ma'am, the master is back, back!"

"Master... are you back?" Happiness came so suddenly, Mrs. Wu's body swayed, and she quickly reached out to support the pillars of the gazebo.

Maid: "Madam, let's go to meet the master."

Mrs. Wu regained her composure, and shouted in a low voice: "Master, you have to change your name to Master Hou, there is no rule." Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't contain her inner excitement and laughed.

"Yes, yes, Master Hou has returned home." The little maid stuck out her tongue: "Ma'am, let's go!"

"Okay, go out to meet Lord Hou...wait." Mrs. Wu stood still and said, "Ask Xiaodie to meet you. I have to go to the kitchen. Lord Hou likes to eat the most, especially fish soup. Listen to me Speaking of the bitter cold in Datong, the master must have been slandered. No, I have to cook a pot of fish soup for the master myself."

"Yes."

"By the way, hurry up and invite Master Wu and Uncle Xiuxiu to come over, and say that Lord Hou has returned to Beijing..." Mrs. Wu really wanted to say something, but she shook her head, went to the kitchen with a happy face, rolled up her sleeves and started Fix Sumu for dinner.

After dinner was ready, Mrs. Wu thought about it, warmed another pot of Su Mu's favorite daughter's red, and then went to her room.

He saw that Su Mu was sitting at the table with his daughter Su Xiuxiu in his arms, talking and laughing with Xiaodie, Wu Shiqi, and Wu Er Er.

Su Mu was talking about the battle in Yingzhou, Wu Shiqi and Wu Nianzu were shocked when they heard it, and couldn't help but gasp.

"I've seen Lord Hou, I've seen daddy." Mrs. Wu said softly, fearing to interrupt Su Mu's conversation, she quietly sat beside her husband.

Wu Shiqi: "So, the emperor has already returned to Beijing?"

Su Mu: "The imperial driver has already arrived at Fangshan, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites will pick it up early tomorrow morning. In another half a month, when the beginning of autumn comes, the prisoner will be sacrificed to the Taimiao."

Wu Shiqi frowned: "It's strange, the emperor's class teacher, he should have notified the Ministry of Rites earlier, and he should have been ready for the guard of honor, why did he come back without a sound? And Su Mu, aren't you accompanying the emperor? Before driving, why did you enter the city alone?"

Su Mu smiled wryly in his heart, it was really inconvenient to tell Wu Shiqi about this matter.

In fact, Emperor Zhengde began to have serious physical problems since he suddenly fainted in Datong Zuowei that day, and he is still lying on the bed until now.I feel dizzy and palpitation all day long, and I have no strength in my body.

In such a state, how can we hold a grand meeting in the city?If others saw him so weak, the imperial court didn't know what kind of chaos it would be.

Su Mu entered the city early this morning, went to the cabinet first, talked frankly with the chief assistant Yang Tinghe about the emperor's body, and asked him to find a way to simplify the emperor's entry ceremony, take Emperor Zhengde into the palace as soon as possible, and then find the imperial physician He heals.

The emperor's body is related to the entire Ming Dynasty and must be kept secret.Therefore, Su Mu only asked Yang Tinghe for this matter, as for the other elders, let's forget it.

Hearing what Su Mu said, Yang Tinghe felt that the matter was very serious, and after discussing with Su Mu for a long time, he finally finalized the details of picking up the driver tomorrow.

When everything was settled and Su Mu returned home, it was already evening.
