my wife is mulan

That day Zhao Junsheng came back to the governor's mansion from outside, very tired, before he had time to drink a sip of water, Hua Mulan came over: "Brother Junsheng, why are you back so late today?"

Zhao Junsheng picked up the teapot and drank two bowls of water in a row before he felt better. "A few days ago, it rained continuously in the north for several days. The water level of the bathing water fifty miles away skyrocketed. A section of the embankment burst and fifteen villages were flooded. Yes, I brought two thousand soldiers and horses to rush over to block the opening!"

Hua Mulan was quite shocked, "Is it a big loss?"

"The loss was huge. More than 300 villagers were drowned, and more than 200 villagers were missing. Almost none of the houses, fields, and livestock were spared. More than 30 soldiers and generals I brought also died when they blocked the embankment!"

"It's too miserable!" Hua Mulan murmured to herself, and she came back to her senses: "You must be hungry. I'll ask the servant girl to bring the food. Let's eat first, and then wash up after eating!"

The maid quickly brought the food up. Zhao Junsheng was indeed hungry. Hua Mulan had been waiting for him, but he didn't eat. The two of them gorged on food.

"That...Brother Junsheng, I want to go back to Wuchuan Town!" Hua Mulan decided to tell her plan while eating.

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, and stopped his chopsticks: "Why did you bring up the matter of going back to Wuchuan again? If you feel that you have nothing to do, go and help me train soldiers. Except for the Youzhou Army, which can be used in front of you, the combat effectiveness of other troops and horses is not bad. No, I plan to conduct a comprehensive training for the soldiers and horses of the various ministries in Youzhou. I will conduct a drill from beginning to end according to the drill subjects and contents formulated in advance. This training process will take about one to two years. If the court does not give you another If there is an arrangement, you should stay here, I will send someone to take the mother-in-law and younger brother to live together, so that you can work with peace of mind, okay?"

Hua Mulan thought about Zhao Junsheng's thoughts, "Based on what I know about Auntie, Auntie will definitely not come. She finally settled down in Wuchuan, and Grandpa's cemetery is still there, and the filial piety period has not passed yet. The journey is so long, how could she come here? Besides, I...I miss Auntie and my younger brother, I want to go back and see them, my grandfather is gone, and my younger brother is still young..."

Zhao Junsheng couldn't stop Hua Mulan from reuniting with his mother's younger brother, he couldn't be too selfish, he didn't say anything extra, he just asked, "Okay, when do you plan to leave?"

"I don't have anything to prepare for. Let's go tomorrow. I will go straight north to Juyongguan. It will be much shorter to go back to Wuchuan outside the Great Wall, and the road will be easier to walk. I can get there in three or four days."

The next morning, outside the city.

Hua Mulan is ready to set off with Huahai, Huakui and more than 20 soldiers

, Jingxin was about to give birth, and she was too pregnant to ride a long distance on horseback, so Hua Mulan left her in Youzhou to be with Li Bao.

"Li Bao, take good care of your daughter-in-law and don't bully her. If you let me know that you treat her badly, I won't let you go!" Hua Mulan urged.

Li Bao rubbed his head and smirked, "General, don't worry, she is my wife, how can I treat her badly?"

Hua Mulan turned to Zhao Junsheng and said, "Brother Junsheng, after I leave, you should pay more attention to rest, take care of your body, eat and sleep on time..."

Zhao Junsheng kept nodding.

At this time, a soldier came galloping from the city on horseback, "General, there is news from Pingcheng!"

Zhao Junsheng took a piece of paper from the soldier and opened it to read it. After reading it, he looked up at Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan asked suspiciously, "Brother Junsheng, who's the news?"

"It's Zong'ai! Mulan, you may not be able to leave. The news sent by Zong'ai said that the emperor has decreed that you will be reinstated as an official and continue to serve as the general of the right wing army. The right wing army will come to Youzhou with Yujia soon Prepare to conquer Yan Kingdom, the angel will come to Youzhou to proclaim the edict soon, even if you return to Wuchuan at this time, I am afraid that the eunuch who announced the edict will rush to Wuchuan soon, and may be caught up on the way."

Hua Mulan didn't say anything for a long time, she could only sigh: "Heaven always fails to fulfill people's wishes!"

Only two days later, the imperial decree arrived in Jixian County, Youzhou. Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan had no choice but to rush back to Jixian County from Yuyang to receive the decree. Sure enough, as the news sent by Zongai, Official Hua Mulan was reinstated.

After seeing off the eunuch who announced the decree, Zhao Junsheng said to Hua Mulan who was holding the decree: "Mulan, look, although the emperor doesn't like you as an upright courtier who dares to contradict him, but he still has to use you. I also need a talented courtier like you even more, this emperor is still very sensible!"

Chapter 478 The Emperor's Appeasement

In order to welcome the arrival of the Emperor Yujia and the East Conquering Army, although Zhao Junsheng was extremely reluctant, he still had to organize the people to repair the roads, organize the people's officials to clean the streets, and gather and resettle the beggars who can be seen everywhere on the streets. Don't let a beggar appear on the street, and try to let the emperor see a stable and prosperous scene in Youzhou.

On the ninth day of August, Emperor Tuobajian arrived in Jixian County with his army marching east.

Zhao Junsheng led the civil and military officials of Youzhou out of the city ten miles to meet him.

"Minister Zhao Junsheng and Youzhou civil officials welcome the holy driver, long live, long live!"

Tuoba Jian is wearing a black armor, nothing special, no different from ordinary generals, this is the difference between him and Tuoba Tao, Tuoba Tao must wear gold armor and helmet every time he leads troops in battle Although it can make it easier for the generals to identify him, it is also easy for the enemy to identify him, which has caused him to be surrounded by Rouran's army several times in battle.

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Junsheng led the civil and military officials to get up.

Tuoba Jian waved to Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan, signaling them to ride together on horseback.

As a former nomadic people, the Xianbei people obviously preserved the tradition of riding and archery, from the emperor to the common people. The emperor of the Xianbei people rode a horse when they went out except for riding a dragon chariot in the palace.

The soldiers led the horses, and Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan got on the horses and accompanied Tuoba Fitness.

"Zhao Qing, a few days ago, many ministers in the court impeached you for being incompetent in governing Youzhou, massacring nobles and gentry with massacres, please tell me what's going on!"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, when I arrived in Youzhou, I found that Youzhou had been controlled by the nobles and gentry, the government treasury was empty, the rats could starve to death in the treasury, and the tax revenue could not be collected at all. They also got no military pay, food and grass, so they could only plunder the people to live by. If you don’t pay taxes, you still have to bring in a lot of money, the imperial court has lost control of Youzhou, and Youzhou has become a place outside the law, what use is such a Youzhou to the imperial court?”

"Feng Da, the prefect of Yuyang and the general of Zhenbei, relied on his military rank higher than that of the humble officials, and refused to listen to orders. The officials sent people to call him to Ji County to discuss military affairs. He also excused himself several times, and the officials sent people to Yuyang to implement the new policy. , he not only refused to cooperate, but also detained the people sent by the humble officials, with the attitude of wanting to separate the territory and claim the king!"

"A few days ago, the Yan State sent Marshal Zhang Xing to attack the West with [-] troops. The minister got the news and led the army to help, but he actually prevented the army of the minister from entering Yuyang, causing the Yan army to capture the entire territory of Yuyang County. All over the country, devastated everywhere! Now that Feng Da has fled to Rouran, he is obviously treasonous and collaborating with the enemy!"

Tuoba Jian was furious when he heard the words: "This letter, I thought that when he took refuge in Tuoba Pi and led troops to resist our army, I didn't punish him afterwards for the sake of the overall situation, but gave him a promotion. I didn't expect this person to be so ungrateful Cui Hui drafted an imperial edict ordering Rouran Khan Wu to hand over the letter of treason and send it to Beijing for punishment!"

"Follow the order!" Cui Hui immediately agreed.

Tuoba Jian comforted Zhao Junsheng again: "I have seen what Zhao Qing did. Some people rely on their ancestors' meritorious service to override the king's law, disregard the law, and seek personal gain in public. This kind of person is my Great Wei's." Moth, you did a good job! I have suppressed all the memorials to impeach you in the imperial court, you can just rest assured and do according to your own ideas, and I will support you!"

"Your Majesty's kindness to you will never be repaid by death!"

Tuoba Jian lightly exposed the matter that Zhao Junsheng killed the Baba family. From this, it can be seen that he had long wanted to move the Baba family, but he didn't want to personally order such a thing. Of course, Junsheng is happy to see it succeed if he can do it for him.

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Youzhou now?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and said, "Return to Your Majesty, there are 3000 soldiers from Youzhou Army, 4000 garrison troops from the three counties, and more than [-] soldiers from the prefectures and counties!"

"How many soldiers and horses are available for combat?"

"Your Majesty, the 4000 garrison troops are used to guard against the Rouran people, and they cannot be used easily, while the state soldiers and

The county soldiers are generally used to maintain local law and order, and their combat effectiveness is too weak to be useful. Only [-] Youzhou troops can be used to fight! "

Tuoba Jian thought for a while, and said to Zhao Junsheng: "How about this, you will bring 3000 Youzhou troops with me to go out with me this time, and the military and political affairs of the prefectures and counties will be handed over to your subordinates for the time being! [-] soldiers will be drawn from the state soldiers and county soldiers. People use it to escort luggage!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Zhao Junsheng agreed, he hesitated for a while and said to Tuoba Jian: "Your Majesty, I request that the soldiers be prohibited from going out to loot the people and disturb the people during the period when the army is stationed in Youzhou. Youzhou issued a decree prohibiting soldiers from making disasters, and increasing taxes from the people as military salaries to distribute to soldiers and generals to meet their living needs during the non-war period. Everything is in vain, I am afraid it will be difficult to conquer the hearts of the people of Youzhou!"

Tuoba Jian thought about it, and agreed: "Okay, I'm sure!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Jian turned to look at Hua Mulan, "Does Hua Qing still hate me?"

Hua Mulan cupped her fists: "Your Majesty is serious, why should I resent Your Majesty?"

Tuoba Jian laughed, "That's right! I was impulsive about the matter of King Xinxing, and now he has been ordered by me to confine him at home and contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. He deserves it. The people who were harmed by him have also been compensated, and this matter is considered to have happened." One is over! You have accepted my edict, go to the Right Wing Army as soon as possible to resume your post!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

When Yujia and Zhengdong's army settled down outside Jixian County, Zhao Junsheng recruited Yuchi Yandong and ordered: "You select some soldiers from the army to form a patrol team, and patrol inside and outside the city for twelve hours a day. No matter who the generals are who disturb the troubles and harm the common people, even if they are generals of the army or important ministers accompanying the army, arrest them first, if something happens, I will face it, you just obey the military orders!"
