The general went out again at night + extra episode

After being escorted to the imperial city, Xia Qingshu was fine. Last night, the matter of the assassin was suppressed by Ji Qianyao, and Emperor Hongsu didn't know about it for the time being.It's just that paper can't hold fire, so many people know about it, how can we hide it?

Sure enough, on the morning of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the three guard commanders were called into the palace by Emperor Hongsu, and they were talking about assassins.

"You! A general with great military exploits, a commander in command of the five armies, a young and promising member of the military department, and a few thieves can't deal with them. Not only did they hurt the eldest princess, but they also let them escape! Spread the word, If you don’t let the people laugh their ass off, it’s in vain for me to trust you so much!”

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my lack of protection." The three of them knelt on the golden hall with their heads bowed, all of them blaming themselves.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace was dignified, and after a long silence, Emperor Hongsu sighed and his face softened a little: "Fortunately, the eldest princess interceded for you, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with you."

Emperor Hong Su took a sip of hot tea, and the three of them knelt still without saying a word, their brows were furrowed, presumably they were filled with remorse and self-blame.

Emperor Hongsu put down the teacup and continued: "The eldest princess told me about the situation that night in detail. Those assassins came prepared. It's not a good thing. No wonder you. She also said that the thieves were vicious that night and the situation was critical. Thank you Master Wei rushed to her in time and tried his best to protect her by her side, so she could escape this disaster, otherwise it would not be as simple as a scratch on the hand."

Wei Linsong clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness was injured, and I cannot absolve myself of the responsibility. I hope Your Majesty will punish me."

"Hey, you make it difficult for me to do this. Not only did the eldest princess say that I can't punish, she also asked me to reward you. All three of you will reward me, especially Mr. Wei. Xue Ye warmly sends charcoal, and I want a big reward!" Hong Su The emperor smiled, and there were other things in the smile.

"I thank Your Highness the Eldest Princess, and thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Linsong was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.

The emperor looked at it, and his smile deepened a little.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Xia Qingshu frowned, Qin Lu and Wei Linsong were both left to talk, she was pushed back, and left alone.

As she walked, Xia Qingshu suddenly clenched her fist and beat her forehead. She couldn't figure it out, why did His Highness the Eldest Princess say that?

In her opinion, Wei Linsong's incompetence caused Her Royal Highness the Princess to be injured when he was guarding her.Not to mention how well-prepared the assassin came and how powerful he was, if the duties of that night were changed and Xia Qingshu was there, she would never let the assassin touch a single hair of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess!

But the current situation is completely different from what I thought.Not only did Her Royal Highness the Princess not blame Wei Linsong, she even asked His Majesty the Emperor to reward her. Could it be that... She is interested in Wei Linsong?

As soon as this thought came out, Xia Qingshu's heart fell to the bottom.

Chapter 37 New Year's Lion Dance

In the last few days at the end of the year, Zhao Yanyuan was cleared of all crimes after the joint trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Judiciary of Dali Temple.He Ao and Lu Kongyue of Fuyun Mountain Villa turned themselves in and accused Zhao Yanyuan of framing Xia Qingshu. Emperor Hongsu made a decree to punish his nine clans and confiscate his family property.

After three days, a total of 2705 million taels of silver, 360 taels of yellow gold, and 80 mu of land were illegally seized. As for rare antiques, famous calligraphy and painting books, there are countless.

Zhao Yanyuan's greed for decades as an official is jaw-dropping, but also embarrassing.

In less than half a day, this matter had already spread widely, and the officials and common people were all discussing it hotly. Xia Qingshu didn't have any special feeling about it. The rise and fall of prosperity and bullying were all other people's affairs, so she had nothing to do with it.As for adding insult to injury or something, she didn't have the time to spare.

In the new year and new weather, the lively firecrackers and fireworks brought the melancholy in Xia Qingshu's heart to the sky.The mansion was filled with joy and laughter, and everyone's faces were full of joy. She was infected and felt better.

The new year has come, Ji Qianyao stayed in the palace to reunite with the royal family, and she also stayed in the mansion and never went out.

One day, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau sent [-] pieces of high-quality silk to the palace. Emperor Hongsu sent some to the harem, and the rest were rewarded to princes and ministers. Xia Qingshu also got some for his military exploits.

During the last few days of the new year, relatives and friends reunite, festive and lively. The pirates in the southeast area are all extremely vicious people, so they are not used to such lively activities.After a small fight, they retreated, disturbing the peace of the frontier defenders.

Xia Yan knew that this was the tactic of the Japanese pirates. When the Yan army was harassed by them and relaxed their guard, they would take the opportunity to break through and go ashore, burn, kill and loot, and then the people would suffer.

If the general is there, the soldiers will definitely be ready to fight, and they will not dare to relax, and the Japanese pirates will not dare to go ashore rashly, and the people behind will also be able to live a good year happily.

Xia Yan wanted to stay in Fujian for defense, so he submitted an application and got the quasi-play.Since he couldn't go home and needed to be informed of the situation, he sent a letter home to Nanjing City, expressing his concerns, and bought some silk and dried fruits to send along with him.

Combining two copies of silk in one place is too much, Xia Qingshu only changes one or two new clothes a year, so there is no way he will run out of them.She doesn't like waste, so she wants to give a piece of silk as a New Year's gift to her relatives and neighbors.

Naturally, gifts from the imperial court cannot be transferred at will. Xia Qingshu put these silks in the treasury for a safe place, and if he was short of clothes to change, he would take them from inside.The one sent by Yongding Hou will be used as a gift.
