Chapter 486: I’ll feel relieved after going to take a look!
Beijing.
It was still a letter sent through the special channel for secret letters.
The emperor opened it as usual and took it out easily.
I thought I could get at least four or five letters out.
But this time, he only touched a hardcover book.
His eyes suddenly focused and he took out the memorial.
He opened it and glanced at it.
The memorial was submitted by Fu Zhiyi and was filled with dense writing.
The emperor read through the entire text at a glance and quickly identified the main points.
First, the number and location of the private soldiers raised by the Third Prince and Grand Secretary Deqing have been ascertained. There are more than a thousand private soldiers, and they are located on the peninsula outside Fancheng. Because Commander Wei has already led the imperial guards to Nanyue and was afraid of the news of their disappearance, he took direct action and raided their camp when the private soldiers were off guard.
However, due to a spy among the imperial guards, the encirclement and suppression failed in the end, and hundreds of people escaped by taking advantage of the changes in the terrain of the cave.
These hundreds of people hid among the local garrison in Fancheng with the help of Ren Yuhai.
While Fu Zhiyi was traveling between Fancheng and Nanyue, the troops were divided into two groups, one to chase him and the other to attack the Nanyue County Government.
Because Lu Zhenzhen was brave and courageous and responded appropriately, she barely held on until Fu Zhiyi arrived with reinforcements and captured all the escaped private soldiers. Not a single one escaped.
However, Lu Zhenzhen was injured and remained in a coma for three days before waking up. Her injuries were not serious and she was pregnant.
Secondly, after the iron ore was found, it was discovered that there was a silver mine cave near the iron ore, which had been partially mined.
Now the iron and silver mines have been investigated and recovered, the accounts have been discovered, and they are being cleaned up.
Third, the county magistrate and officials of Fancheng colluded with these private soldiers and have been arrested. The position of county magistrate of Fancheng is vacant, and it is hoped that the court will send someone to take over as soon as possible.
When the emperor saw the first part, he was first happy, then angry. Later, when he saw that Lu Zhenzhen was injured and had been in a coma for three days, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his mind, but he was soon attracted by the following content.
When I saw that not only the iron mine was seized and recovered, but also a silver mine was found, I was overjoyed.
After reading the memorial, the emperor felt a little restless.
He took a deep breath and immediately ordered the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War, and the Minister of Personnel to come to the court for an audience.
When the three ministers hurriedly arrived and just paid their respects, they had no time to ask the emperor why he summoned them.
The emperor threw Fu Zhiyi's secret memorial in front of them.
Minister Lan was at the front and reached out to take the memorial. When he saw the familiar handwriting on it, his eyes narrowed.
Is this done?
He quickly scanned the entire page and saw the sentence about Lu Zhenzhen being injured and unconscious for three days before waking up. His wrist trembled. Was Zhenzhen's child injured? Was she pregnant? Wouldn't this injury affect the child?
Although he was worried in his heart, Lan Shangwen remained calm on the surface.
After reading it, he handed it to the Minister of War next to him.
After reading it, the Minister of War broke out in a cold sweat. Damn it! Is this what they, as foreign officials, should see? Will they be silenced?
He swallowed and handed it to the Minister of Personnel.
The Minister of Personnel read the letter faster and was extremely cunning. He presented the secret memorial to the emperor without changing his expression or heartbeat.
The emperor waited for the three of them to finish reading the memorial before speaking: "My dear ministers, what do you say we should do?"
Lan Mansion.
Lan has been feeling uneasy for the past two days, always feeling that something is going to happen.
She originally wanted to go to the Huguo Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha, but her reputation was too low now, so she needed Uncle Lan's approval before leaving the city.
After hesitating for two days, Lan returned to her parents' home. She wanted to invite her mother and Madam Lan to go to Huguo Temple to worship. It happened that the maple leaves on the mountain of Huguo Temple had turned red, so everyone could go together to appreciate the maple leaves, which could be regarded as an autumn outing.
Although Lan's mother was old, she was also a lively person. After being coaxed by Lan's words, she also became interested.
Mrs. Lan thought that the weather was indeed good recently and it would be boring to stay at home all day, so she readily agreed.
He also asked people to ask the young ladies of the Lan family and the younger brothers and sisters if they wanted to go with them.
Not long after, several young ladies of the Lan family came together, greeted each other, and talked about going to the Huguo Temple.
Everyone muttered: It would be great if Zhenzhen was in Beijing. She has countless new and naughty ways to play in her mind, which would definitely be more interesting than us.
Here, Lan's heart arose. "It's been more than half a year, and even though every time the child wrote to me, she always reported that she was safe and how wonderful her life was over there, I couldn't help but realize that this child only reported good news and not bad news. Even if she was having a hard time over there, she wouldn't tell us, fearing that we would worry and be sad for her."
"It's easy to imagine how good it can be in a place thousands of miles away that's humid and full of miasma. Isn't it just to comfort us?"
The more I talk about it, the more I miss my daughter-in-law Zhenzhen.
Lan's mother was old and couldn't bear to hear this. She also thought of how good Lu Zhenzhen was in the capital in the past, and tears immediately came to her eyes.
Madam Lan rolled her eyes at Lan in annoyance. It was fortunate that this sister-in-law was raised by her own hands and was like her own daughter, otherwise she would have wanted to kick her twice.
Don’t you know what kind of person your daughter-in-law is?
Zhenzhen is a cheerful person and can live well anywhere!
Moreover, every time she wrote to me, she would describe her daily life and gossip, which told me that her life in South Vietnam was not as good as in the capital, but at least it was not hard.
Otherwise, how could she have so much energy to listen to gossip?
Only my sister-in-law looks at Zhenzhen through eighteen layers of filters, and can always see that Zhenzhen is pitiful.
Several young ladies nearby hurriedly tried to join in the fun and persuaded Lan with all their might.
Mrs. Lan said directly that she would serve breakfast so that she could send her sister-in-law Lan home after dinner.
Then I saw Uncle Lan walk in with a sullen face.
Madam Lan hurried over to greet him: "What's going on?"
Uncle Lan sighed, sat down, drank a sip of tea, and then dropped a big news: "Zhenzhen is pregnant."
"What?" Lan jumped three feet high. After she stood firm, her eyes were red. She looked at her uncle nervously: "Brother, is it true? You are not lying to me? Did Zhenzhen write to me again? I want to go back and check——"
Then he ran away to go home.
Uncle Lan stopped him: "You are so old and will soon have grandchildren. Can you be more steady? Let me finish what I have to say!"
At this moment, Lan's mind was full of having a grandson, and she just nodded no matter what Uncle Lan said.
I've already been thinking about it and I need to get ready.
Then I heard Uncle Lan drop another piece of bombshell news: "Zhenzhen was injured and was in a coma for three days. Although she's awake now, I don't know how she's doing."
"Zhenzhen is injured? What happened? How did Yi Ge'er take care of Zhenzhen?" Mrs. Lan asked immediately.
Lan was just happy, but she was also shocked when she heard this: "How could Zhenzhen be injured? She was unconscious for three days? God have mercy on her, my Zhenzhen, how could she suffer such a terrible pain? No, I have to go back and pack my bags. I have to rush to South Vietnam to take a look before I can feel at ease!"
