Song Jue felt that God must have thought that he was too idle, so much so that he coaxed the commander of the army to run out of Xijing to have fun, so he was so kind and caused him so much trouble. Otherwise, there would be no way for him to do anything. There is no way to explain why so many things happened one after another after he returned to Beijing and the palace. Although these troubles are far from enough to make him anxious, one more thing is worse than one less thing. Isn’t it time to have fun during the Chinese New Year!
Song Jue's depressed mood reached its peak the moment he received the news from Jiaping Pass about the robbery and murder of the Jin Kingdom's mission. He was simply speechless. The entire Jin Kingdom, from King Wanyan Zongcheng to the common people They are all filled with an aura called "decline". Not only is the country not peaceful, it has suffered floods and heavy rains that have not been seen in many years. Even a mission was robbed and killed on the way. It is really declining to the extreme.
Because he received the news that made him particularly unhappy, Song Jue's expression was gloomy for two or three days in a row. Except for Eunuch Pan, who was personally serving him, all the maids and eunuchs were very cautious, wishing they could avoid Song Jue. Jue, avoid the disaster of fish in the pond. However, Song Jue did not stay in this state for long. Just when he was thinking about what to do, the news that the murder case of the Jin Dynasty mission was solved was placed on his Dragon Case. This secret document not only contained detailed information Records of the case, as well as all the confessions of all persons present and their signatures.
After Song Jue read this secret book, he felt extremely relaxed, which was even more refreshing than eating a big bowl of ice in the dog days of summer. He took the secret book and read it inside and out many times. He felt that his tea was really powerful. He solved the case in one night and caught the real murderer. Not only did he expose Wanyan Zongcheng and Wanyanxi's The conspiracy helped the Liao Kingdom clear its grievances, and also made the Liao Kingdom owe such a huge favor... No, it should be kindness. This kindness is amazing. Just like Eunuch Pan said, with this kindness , then the Liao people cannot attack them at will, otherwise, some people will say that they are ungrateful. Yelvertu, a person with such a good face, would never allow his reputation to be lost.
Before Song Jue was overjoyed, another secret letter was sent from Jiaping Pass City. Although the content in it made him a little worried, if precautions were taken properly, Liao would owe them Daxia another favor. A robbery and murder case of the Jin Dynasty mission made Liao Qian owe them a great debt. This was really an unexpected surprise. Song Jue was so excited that he hugged Eunuch Pan and circled around. You know, this is his grandfather, his What my father couldn't do was actually achieved in the hands of a careless guy like him.
"Pan Pan, I must reward you!"
After Song Jue calmed down from his excitement, he felt that he should give Jiaping Guancheng a good reward. He had made such a great contribution, and not rewarding him would hurt the hero's heart, especially his tea. However, this case is still kept secret. Several secret letters and secret documents sent by Shen Haolin and Shen Cha have emphasized one thing, that is, the murder of the Jin State envoy must be kept secret. At least it must be done before Jin Guo himself speaks out, not Liao and Xia. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jin will definitely not reveal this secret during the Chinese New Year when all the envoys from various countries are in Xijing. They will only say that they cannot send envoys to congratulate them due to their own problems.
For this reason, it is unrealistic to reward Jiaping Guancheng alone. Others will find it very baffling, and it will easily cause unnecessary trouble to Zhenguo Gongfu and Wuding Houfu.
Therefore, Song Jue thought about it. Because the third son of Prince Yihe's mansion escaped from marriage, all the border gates in the north were helping to find someone. He should also show something. Therefore, it would be better to reward all the border gates in the north. It’s just that the rewards from Jiapingguan City are a little more.
"Pan Pan, please take a trip to Jiaping Pass!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Eunuch Pan has been with Song Jue for many years. It can be said that he watched Song Jue grow up. He has experienced many things with him, all kinds of joys and sorrows. He even suffered a lot of injuries because of Song Jue. So, Song Jue trusted him very much.
The reason why Song Jue asked Eunuch Pan to go to Jiaping Pass City was actually a little selfish. He wanted Eunuch Pan to hand over something to Shen Cha in private.
Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Eunuch Pan doesn't think there's anything wrong with being sent to a place so far away from Jiaping Pass by His Majesty. He hasn't seen the young masters and ladies from Zhenguo Gongfu and Wudinghou Mansion for a long time. , I miss him, and I heard that old guy Qin Zheng also went to Jiapingguancheng to celebrate the New Year, and it happened that the brothers got together to have a meal.
So, Eunuch Pan packed up his things quickly and set out from Xijing with a hundred Forbidden Army soldiers and twenty carriages. When they arrived at Jiapingguan City, it happened to be New Year's Eve.
When they heard that Eunuch Pan personally escorted the reward to Jiaping Pass, Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian were all stunned. The first reaction was that it was absolutely impossible, but Ying Wu was not the kind of boring person to tease them with such words. , so a few people quickly sorted themselves out and quickly ran to the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. At the same time, they sent people to notify Qin Zheng, Yan Bo, Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, asking them to come to the gate of the mansion quickly.
After solemnly cleaning the ground and opening the middle door of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, everyone saw the smiling Eunuch Pan standing at the door.
"This slave has met the Duke, the Marquis, and the eldest lady!"
Eunuch Pan saluted Shen Haolin, Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha, and the three of them quickly returned the gift. Eunuch Pan was a man of great merit, and they did not dare to accept his courtesy.
"Eunuch Pan, you have been working hard all the way. Please wait a moment. Deputy Marshal Qin and the two county princes will be here soon." Shen Haolin quickly asked someone to bring a chair to Eunuch Pan. It was snowing heavily, and he was riding from Xijing on horseback. Coming to the border is like suffering. Eunuch Pan is not young anymore, so it will be troublesome if he tires the old man out.
"My lord, I'm not that squeamish yet. When I was young, I used to fight on the battlefield with my lord." Eunuch Pan looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian with a smile, "I see you all Okay, this slave is relieved." He looked at Shen Cha, "The news of the assassination of the eldest lady has frightened this slave. You should be more careful in the future and don't be too arrogant."
"Thank you, father-in-law, I will remember it!" Shen Cha nodded and stuffed a cup of ginger soup into Eunuch Pan's hand, "Keep the cold away, this journey has been too painful."
"The eldest lady is interested!"
Eunuch Pan found that not only did he have ginger soup to drink, but also the one hundred soldiers of the imperial army. He couldn't help but sigh, the Duke's Mansion was different from other noble ministers' mansions. His thoughts were meticulous and meticulous, and he would not care about his status or status at all. Different statuses will be treated differently, and their actions every time will make people feel very heartwarming and touching.
After Eunuch Pan drank a cup of ginger soup, everyone arrived. Uncle Yan quickly placed the prepared incense table. Qin Zheng, Shen Haolin, and Xue Ruitian led everyone in the house to kneel down to receive the edict. Eunuch Pan read out the edict. , was invited into the main hall of the Duke's Mansion by everyone.
Yan Bo directed the imperial troops to move all the boxes on the carriage to the warehouse in the front yard, and counted them one by one with a list.
In the reward, there are ten boxes of gold and ten boxes of silver, each worth ten thousand taels. There are twenty varieties of plain and colorful silk made in the palace, with ten pieces of each variety. There is also a large box of jewelry, a total of There were ten sets. The imperial edict specified that this box of jewelry was for Shen Cha. Uncle Yan summoned Mei Lin and handed this large box of jewelry to her to keep in Chen Cha's private treasury.
In addition to these, there are five large boxes of palace snacks and candies. There are sixty kinds of snacks in total, each of which contains ten small boxes, and each small box contains six pieces of snacks. There are also five small boxes of special candies in the palace. According to the list, there are twenty five kinds in total, with one hundred pieces of each type.
Yan Bo ordered all the palace delicacies and candies to be sent to the Nuan Pavilion. He believed that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian would definitely keep a small part, and the remaining large part would be distributed.
When the last five boxes were counted, Yan Bo felt extremely helpless. He felt that His Majesty must have looted all the supplements from the Queen Mother's palace. Looking at the things inside, they were all used by elderly men and women for health care. Yes, it is not suitable for young people to eat, let alone for people like their eldest daughter who are not very healthy.
After counting all the rewards and settling down the brothers of the Forbidden Army, Yan Bo walked into the main hall with the list, handed the list to Shen Haolin, and then sat next to Qin Zheng.
"Master Yan, long time no see!" Eunuch Pan looked at Uncle Yan, "You seem to be in good spirits, and your life is going well!"
"It's indeed good!" Uncle Yan nodded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then glanced at the big cloth bag placed by Eunuch Pan at his feet, "What is that?"
"These are the flower seeds that His Majesty promised to Military Advisor Jin. They were kindly provided by Prince Yihe."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jin Jing saluted, took the big cloth bag, and looked at the contents inside happily.
"Eunuch Pan, today is the New Year's Eve. Will you celebrate the New Year with us? You, Uncle Qin and Uncle Yan haven't seen each other for so many years. Old brothers should have a good time catching up with the past, at least after the New Year. Are you going back to Beijing again?" Shen Haolin looked at Eunuch Pan, "If we make you rush even during the Chinese New Year, His Majesty will definitely blame us."
"Brother is right!" Shen Cha also said, "The snow outside is so heavy that it's difficult to walk on the road. At least we have to wait until the snow lightens up a little."
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. and Miss. However, I have already informed your Majesty before leaving the capital. I must rush back to the capital before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The princess's ceremony will be held by the slave from beginning to end. So, , I’m really sorry, please forgive me, the Duke and the eldest lady.”
"But..." Shen Cha frowned slightly, looked at Song Qiyun, and then at Xia Jiu, asking them to help persuade him.
"Miss!" Eunuch Pan saw Shen Cha winking at the two county princes and smiled, "No need to bother anymore, we will leave as soon as we have lunch."
"Xiao Cha!" Qin Zheng waved his hand towards Shen Cha, "This old guy has a stubborn temper. Even a hundred horses can't pull him back on what he decides. Just do whatever he says! Prepare more delicious food. It doesn’t matter whether he eats or not, just don’t let those hundred Forbidden Army brothers suffer any injustice.”
Eunuch Pan: "..."
Qin Zheng, this old guy, becomes more and more annoying as he gets older!
