Huang Qiong believed that with the intelligence of his second sister-in-law and his previous beatings, the women in the backyard should not dare to cause any trouble. Of course, if someone doesn't have eyesight and is only honest on the surface, but also engages in mischief in private, Huang Qiong won't mind sending him away directly.
However, Huang Qiong, who was still a little worried, found Liu Hu's sister-in-law again and gave her some advice before she felt relieved. But after listening to Huang Qiong's explanation, Liu Hu's sister-in-law looked at Huang Qiong hesitantly, as if he was hesitant to speak. Seeing this woman's expression, Huang Qiong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"Back to the King of England, now the evildoer has been killed and the family feud has been avenged. The young woman wants to return to her hometown to visit her parents-in-law and late husband's grave. The young woman has never returned to her hometown since entering Prince Jing's Mansion. Her parents-in-law and I don’t even know where my late husband’s grave is. Now that Zhengzhou has returned to a bright and prosperous world, I would like to ask His Majesty the King of England for your permission to return to my hometown to visit the grave.”
After hearing Liu Hu's sister-in-law's request, Huang Qiong thought about it for a moment and then smiled and said: "It turns out that Madam-in-law is because of this. It's not a big deal, but I still ask Madam-in-law to wait for two days. I still have something to do, and I don't have anything to do. Finished. After two days, I will finish the matter at hand. I will take Liu Hu and accompany my wife back home."
Huang Qiong's answer made Liu Hu's sister-in-law a little frightened. It was simply unimaginable that a prince would accompany him back home to visit his grave. The frightened woman repeatedly waved her hands and said: "No, no, no, this is absolutely impossible. The young lady can go with her uncle, and she must not bother His Royal Highness."
Seeing the panic look on this woman's face, Huang Qiong smiled lightly and said nothing more. In fact, Huang Qiong had no free time to really accompany her and Liu Hu to visit the graves. Huang Qiong just wanted to take this opportunity to see with her own eyes how poor people's livelihood in Zhengzhou was.
It is estimated that within half a day, the army commanded by Yu Du and Su Changshi will arrive in Zhengzhou. How can it be so easy to leave the city when the time comes? Not to mention others, the old-fashioned Su Changshi could come up with ten thousand reasons to stop him. Others would probably disagree. Rather than being verbose when the time comes, it would be better to find an excuse that at least makes sense.
That night, Huang Qiong's mind was a little complicated and his body was somewhat tired. He didn't do anything, just held He Yao and rested quietly for the night. By He Yao's side, Huang Qiong seemed to have regained the feeling of being with Chen Yao again. Even if you hold her so quietly, you can still find some peace that you have forgotten at the moment.
As for He Yao, who was tightly held in Huang Qiong's arms, looking at this man who was more than ten years younger than herself, her brows were still tightened in her sleep, and her thoughts were extremely complicated. She still can't accept it even though she has shared the same bed with her apprentice and niece many times. However, at least it's not as repulsive as it was at first.
At least this little man gave her a sense of security that she had never experienced in the past thirty years. Today, as soon as Huang Qiong came back, she felt the tremendous pressure on this man. She didn't know how deep the water in Zhengzhou was right now. But as a half-native of Zhengzhou, she still knows how difficult it is to solve the situation in Zhengzhou.
She didn't understand things about the Tian family, but she still knew a little bit about how complicated the situation in Zhengzhou was. Gently touching Huang Qiong's brows that were still furrowed in sleep, He Yao sighed slightly in her heart. She gently snuggled her plump body into this man's arms. Even though there was some hesitation at first, his hands finally wrapped around Huang Qiong's waist.
Although she also knew that the two people under the quilt were naked at this time. She didn't know why this man always liked to do this when sleeping. But leaning against Huang Qiong's chest, the strange sense of security made her, who was still a little shy, fall asleep quickly.
When Huang Qiong woke up in the morning, he immediately felt He Yao's arm tightly hugging his waist. Looking at the woman sleeping sweetly in his arms, Huang Qiong showed a smile on his lips. He knew that this woman was really attracted to him now, and she really wouldn't leave again.
Huang Qiong originally thought that it would take a few days for Yu Du to reorganize the garrison at Hulao Pass. However, they did not expect that at dusk of the next day, the commander of Yudu would arrive in Zhengzhou with the main force of the rebel army, the rebellious officials of Zhengzhou, and the dozen or so concubines of King Jing. After the army of Commander Yudu arrived, and with the main force of the rebels escorted back, the small city of Zhengzhou was overcrowded.
It is not only the city of Zhengzhou that is overcrowded, but also the prison of Zhengzhou. This prison, which is not very regulated, has never had so many people crammed in at the same time. To be precise, so many official records have never been crammed in at the same time. If Huang Qiong hadn't strictly ordered the military attachés to be placed under the custody of the Xiaoqi Camp, I'm afraid that so many officials wouldn't have been able to be crammed into this prison in Zhengzhou Prefecture.
Huang Qiong didn't say much to Su Changshi who came to receive the seal. He just asked someone to bring Jian Tongzhi over, and after letting the two of them meet, they were sent back to the Zhengzhou magistrate's office without saying a single extra word. Of all the civil and military officials, Huang Qiong only left one person, the commander of Yudu.
Seeing that the British king was left alone, the commander of Yudu, who vaguely guessed something, felt calm. He knew about the fact that the King of England ordered various officials on Henan Road to rush to Zhengzhou immediately. From the beginning of the rebellion of the two kings, Henan Road's pacification envoys, inspection envoys, and Jiedu envoys were all slow to respond.
The Henan pacification envoy failed to detect the disobedience and rebellion of the two kings in advance. After the rebellion of the two kings was launched, there was no response. You must know that the local guards on Henan Road are in addition to the military horses under the jurisdiction of the Henan Jiedushi. Thirty percent of the guards on Henan Road were under the direct jurisdiction of the Henan Road pacifier.
This was when the Guilin County Prince formulated the official system of Da Qi in order to avoid the situation of separatist vassal towns like the former Tang Dynasty. The civil-military division was formulated by one hand, and local areas, including the guard system, were subject to a system of civilian control. Not only does the pacifier have 30% of the guardsmen on Henan Road, but also the military envoys of each prefecture are subject to the same level of military readiness restrictions.
Until now the rebellion has been put down, not only the officers and soldiers of Henan Jiedu have not seen a single soldier. Even though he had three thousand troops and horses, he didn't see a single soldier or general. And not only his subordinate Zhengzhou Prefecture, but also officials of almost all the prefectures were involved. Even the Zhihuang envoys under the Henan Road Transfer Department in Zhengzhou and the Bian Zhengning Bingbei Road were involved.
To say that he has no responsibility for being the first person in the process is unjustifiable. As for the Henan Road Jiedu Envoy, I am afraid that whether he can save his head is a question even if his official career ends this time. Not to mention that all the Zhengzhou Prefecture Guards under his command were involved in the rebellion. From the beginning to the end of the rebellion, the Henan Road Guards remained unmoved.
They were not even assembled, which was undoubtedly intolerable to the court. It is certain that he will take off his official hat and be escorted to Beijing. And not only did these two have soldiers in their hands, but the inspector on Henan Road also had a certain number of soldiers in his hands. Although there are only a few hundred people, it is still troublesome.
The Henan Road Transfer Department has thousands of Caoding in its hands. Although these Caoding have no fighting ability, if they really cause trouble, it will always be a trouble, right? It is not yet known how deeply these people were involved in this rebellion. Capturing these officials will definitely require the Xiaoqi camp to shake the field.
Therefore, the commander in the capital was not surprised that Huang Qiong left him alone. Although the King of England looks young on the outside, his mind is extremely thoughtful. I should be left alone to discuss how to arrest him. After all, it is necessary to be cautious when arresting so many important officials at once.
But when Huang Qiong took out the secret edict and read it out, although the first thing was not beyond the expectation of the Lord, the following content, especially after learning that he had taken over as the Henan Jiedushi, there was no trace of promotion on his face. The joy that should follow. It can even be said that it looks bitter and lonely.
He didn't know whether he had been promoted from the Xiaoqi Battalion, the head of the four elite battalions, to a local military governor, or whether he had been promoted openly or secretly. Although he also knew that he could not hold the position of commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion for the rest of his life. Sooner or later, I have to leave. Leaving in this situation today is already a good ending.
In any case, going from the third grade to the second grade is considered a promotion. But this situation happened to be the last thing he wanted. Looking at the King of England who had an extremely serious expression in front of him, Mr. Yu, who personally handed this secret decree into Huang Qiong's hands, shook his head helplessly. He didn't know why this young prince was so scheming.
This secret order had already been handed over to him when he arrived at Hulao Pass. But during this period of time, the King of England was chatting and laughing with him without leaking any news. Even on the surface, no changes can be seen. Could it be that the children of their Tian family are all born with evil intentions?
Looking at the somewhat depressed expression of this gentleman, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "Master Yu, is it a good thing to be promoted? You can't sit here for a lifetime as the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion? Besides, with Master Yu's ability, I, the king I thought there should be a broader world. Although the Xiaoqi Battalion is the first-class elite of our Daqi, for adults, it is still too small."
"Besides, Henan Road is located in an important area of Gyeonggi Province. There is chaos in Chuping now, and we need to rely on you, a famous general, to suppress the young people who dare not make any changes. Mr. Yu is the emperor's humerus minister, and here at Henan Road, right now, It is precisely when people like Mr. Yu sit in charge that Father can feel at ease."
Hearing Huang Qiong's not-so-consoling consolation, although the Lord felt a little reluctant to give up, he also knew that since the imperial edict had been issued, he could not do anything without handing over his power. It's just that it's really difficult to be the governor of Henan Road. Henan is located in the capital region. If you fart here, the other side of the capital will know it clearly in two or three days.
Moreover, because Henan Road is located in Gyeonggi Province, the three departments here, including the Department of Comforting Envoys, the Department of Transportation Envoys, and the Department of Inspection and Envoys, plus Yidu, have always been the targets of competition among the princes. Those who can come here to work in these three divisions do not have a strong backing behind them. What's more, the Henan Road Jiedu Envoy seems to have a high position of authority, but compared with the Xiaoqi Camp Commander, he is restricted in every way.
In addition to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War in central Beijing, the Henan Road pacification envoys and even the four military preparation roads on Henan Road also had the power to restrict the Jiedushi envoys. Coupled with the degree of corruption of the local guards, for this gentleman, this second-grade military commander is really not as good as him being a third-grade military commander in the Xiaoqi camp.
Even he knows that as long as he wants to continue on the road of official career, this step is inevitable. But for him, he was really unwilling to be transferred away like this. Because Xiaoqi Camp is the most important step in his entire career for him.
