Chapter 238 Nine Years of Shunde

Zhen Wenjun stayed in Ru Ning for ten days. Apart from being entrusted by the court, he also took the opportunity to sleep well.Several old injuries that never healed were finally recuperated, the muscles and muscles were relaxed and warm, and the whole person's condition was getting better and better.

Li Feng was distressed, what else could he reward Zhen Wenjun?

Exterminating the Hu thieves is a great achievement in history, and it is also the biggest victory of the Yu army in decades. Zhen Wenjun must reward him, and he must reward him heavily.Li Feng was not stingy with Zhen Wenjun, and gave her the title of the only general in Dayu. He also built a mansion in the most prosperous Guangxuanfang in Runing, where every inch of land was expensive, and personally wrote the title "General Zhen Guo". The five characters of "Fu" were made into a plaque and hung at the gate.Then reward gold, cloth, slaves, horses, etc., just moving the rewarded treasures into the general's mansion for a full day.Originally, he wanted to give Zhen Wenjun the title of "Duke of Zhen Guo", but Zhen Wenjun thought it was too big, if he took it, he was afraid that people would gossip, so he refused to accept it repeatedly.Seeing that she really didn't want her, Li Feng didn't force her, so he gave her another Marquis.

Zhen Wenjun rewarded all the rewards of money and materials to the soldiers who had lived and died with her for many years, and invited credit for them one by one in front of Li Feng.However, all Li Feng who spoke to Zhen Wenjun were rewarded in full. Huang Bo was named a third-rank loyal and brave general, Lin Mu was a fourth-rank general who swayed bandits, and thousands of people were promoted to rank.For a while, Zhen Wenjun was so powerful that he could even compete with the Wei family and the eldest grandson's family who held the Senate.

On the surface, Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu are already married, they can be regarded as a family, but the relationship between the two is still very delicate in private.

Li Feng has two completely different attitudes towards Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu, which can also be seen from the frankness of the award.

The general's mansion opened, but Zhen Wenjun did not move there, and still lived in Zhuojun's mansion in Wanquanfang.

Li Feng was a little puzzled, so he specially announced her to the imperial study, and wanted to know her relationship with Wei Tingxu, and why she was so reluctant to go to the general's mansion.

Li Feng thought the question was very tactful, but Zhen Wenjun laughed in his heart.She has long been tired of using these small schemes and tricks. The years of playing games and guessing with Wei Tingxu have given her a wealth of experience, and she has already thought of an answer after hearing Li Feng's first word.

"Wei Zizhuo can't die yet."

It's time for Zhen Wenjun to interrupt Li Feng's hesitation. Li Feng was startled, and hastily denied:

"Aiqing, I don't mean that widow..."

When Zhen Wenjun put on an attitude of listening attentively again, Li Feng couldn't continue speaking.

Although Li Feng knew that the most important method of the emperor was checks and balances, but the young emperor's method of controlling people's hearts was still a bit weak.He didn't know when to say something, but the topic he raised was interrupted by a sentence from the other party, and he couldn't continue because of his feelings.

Back in Runing these days, when she went in and out of the Forbidden Garden, Li Feng's sad face left a deep impression on her.

17-year-old Li Feng has pimples all over his face. He smells of alcohol all day long. He is very easy to catch cold.

The once enthusiastic young man disappeared, leaving behind a pair of anxious skin.

He has always been very polite to Zhen Wenjun, probably because he left a deep relationship with Aqiong through life and death, and even took Zhen Wenjun as half of his own family.

However, it is worth watching out for your own family.

Whenever Li Feng showed an expression of wariness and fear to her, Zhen Wenjun would feel a little awkward. Li Feng looked at her expression as if she would pull out a knife and chop off the emperor's head the next moment.

So is she a loyal minister or a traitor?

"Let's not talk about loyalty and treachery. Since the general has such doubts, he has some doubts about what he is doing now. If he is 100% sure, he still won't think so."

Leaving Runing and heading south, Zhen Wenjun shared some of his doubts with Bu Jie, Bu Jie, who had never talked about her and Wei Tingxu's affairs, hit Zhen Wenjun's mind as soon as he opened his mouth.

Only the two of them were in the carriage, and Bu Jie asked very straightforwardly: "Wei Situ now holds the ruling and opposition parties in his hands, and after so many years of hard work and planning such a big game, she will not be willing to be a minister. I am afraid that Wei Situ has A rebellious heart."

Zhen Wenjun didn't shake his head, but agreed.

The step opened the curtain and let Zhen Wenjun look out.

"It's been eight years in Shunde now, and it's been 18 years since the exiles entered Yu. Does the general see any improvement in Da Yu?"

Zhen Wenjun looked out, at this time they had already walked out of Runing and crossed Ru County, the corpses were lying in the fields outside the official road, and the victims in ragged clothes were still there.

Wei Jing'an beat down several rebellious families, and not long after, uprisings began in various places.

It is said that Li Feng is also taking Furong powder, which can never be stopped.When Wei Tingxu was in Shunde for four years, he implemented the ban on Furongsan. He took the lead in taking the capital and ordered all the fields around Runing where Furongsan was planted to be burned.The ban was drafted secretly in the Senate, and it was implemented very quickly. After three days, the night fast was cleared.

But such a strict and swift law still failed to clean up Furongsan. Even two days before the ban was about to be enforced, all Yezhai bosses in the capital fled the capital with Furongsan and scattered into various counties and counties.Furong powder is sold as usual, and money is earned as usual.Wei Tingxu did not let these people go, and continued to send people to investigate.But these people were bought immediately when they arrived in the local counties, and the amount of Furongsan handed over was less than a hundred cars, which was obviously perfunctory.

Wei Tingxu killed wave after wave in order to strictly enforce the law.But when this matter spread to the people, it became her appointment and power to disregard people's lives and not give people a way out.

Furongsan has long been fused into Yuren's blood, and it is impossible to get rid of drug addiction without cutting open the chest to drain the dirty blood.Wei Tingxu made up his mind to do this, and he would do it to the end. Unfortunately, no matter how hard the central government works, the local officials and officials protect each other, and the tax cannot be passed on. Da Yu's meridians have long been blocked by various cancers.

The decree is difficult to pass, and decades of war have hollowed out the country, but the battle must be fought.The prosperity of Ru Ning is just an illusion under the eyes of the emperor, and the real Yu can only be seen away from Ru Ning.

Hunger, poverty, rampant drug addiction...

Beating away Chongjin gave the people of Da Yu a big sigh of relief, but the nightmare of drunkenness, dream and death is still tightly bound the people of Da Yu.

Everyone said that Wei Tingxu was a treacherous minister who coveted the imperial power. She did control the lifeblood of the country, but she built water conservancy to encourage farming, and promoted reforms to achieve equal rights. All she did was to protect the healthy development of Da Yu.

But there is one thing that really makes the people bear hatred.

In order to concentrate more financial resources on northern Xinjiang and help Zhen Wenjun expel Chongjin, she did increase taxes and increase the burden on the people, which also became the basis for the enemy to attack her.There is also the notoriety of regicide who has been secretly following her, and the many forces offended on the road to equal rights. Wei Tingxu let others call her a traitor or a witch, and never defended himself.

"I did kill a lot of people, and Li Yanyi died at my hands." Wei Tingxu disdainfully argued, "In a sense, the folk legends are all right."

Looking at the beggars stretching out their hands to beg outside the window, this was step by step for Zhen Wenjun to see. In fact, Zhen Wenjun already knew it well.Thinking of what Wei Tingxu has done, I feel sad.

Bu Jie said: "It is an indisputable fact that Da Yu's strength has been exhausted. After so many years, the most basic problems have not been solved. Only the brand-new center and Mingjun can turn the tide without any external force. The best way to save lives."

"Wen Sheng means that even if you are scolded by Wanshi, you can ignore it?"

Bu Jie said with a smile: "This continent has a history of 2000 years. Going back to the ancient times, how many new dynasties have been established, and how many decadent dynasties have been swallowed up. Why do they do the same thing, but later generations do not praise them? One? It’s not because of how the history books were written at that time, and it’s not because of how many people died during the change of dynasty. General, do you know why?”

Zhen Wenjun was deep in thought, and after driving ten miles from Ru County, the sadness between her brows gradually cleared up.

Bu Jie said: "General, it has been 15 years since a certain girl followed the girl in the ninth year of Shenchu, what does the general think of her?"

Hearing what he said suddenly, Zhen Wenjun felt a little uneasy and said, "It is Wenjun's hard work in this life to be assisted by Wen Sheng."

"How about a general?"

"It's my confidant. Without Wen Sheng, nothing would be possible."

Bu Jie smiled contentedly and nodded: "I am grateful for the kindness of the general, and I would like to follow the general forever, until death."

"Wen Sheng, what do you want to tell me?"

"The general is wise, I do have a lot to say. I'm afraid that if I say it, it might sound like sowing discord."

"Wen Sheng is utterly loyal to me, so why would I feel that you are provoking something. Wen Sheng just said it's okay."

Bu Jie nodded and said: "The general probably knew it already, but I still want to say something more. The general has seen too many things about the bird's bow, the rabbit and the dead dog, but the authorities are fascinated. Has the general ever thought about it? Wei Situ is really emperor, where is the biggest threat coming from? Who is the first person she will eradicate?"

Zhen Wenjun's heart trembled, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Bu Jie.

Bu Jie didn't say any more.

Zhen Wenjun advances towards Huaiyang, at this time A Liao has already received A Qiong at Sudu.

Axi has been taking care of Aqiong in Sudu. According to the prescription Zhen Wenjun gave her, she boiled the medicine every day and let her take it on time. Although the toxins in the body could not be completely eliminated, the time of confusion was getting shorter and shorter, and her mental state was also improving.

Axi is very interested in the topography of Sudu. As long as Aqiong is in good condition, she will go around, draw the topography of this place, and collect it into a book.When Ah Liao came back, he handed it over to her and asked her to record it into the Heavenly Soldiers Box.

After accumulating hundreds of pages, I am really looking forward to Ah Liao.

Early in the morning, when Ah Xi went out to pick wild vegetables, he saw a group of strange chariots and horses coming from a distance. If he could enter the city, he must have a customs clearance card and belong to his own people.Ah Xi stopped, seeing A Liao getting down from the carriage alone, he couldn't help feeling strange and let out a "huh":

"Why are you alone? Where are your Qingyuan ladies?" A Xi asked casually, A Liao faltered:

"Ah, they, it's nothing. How is Aunt Aqiong's health recently? I'll pick her up and go back to Runing."

During the conversation, A Qiong heard the voice and came out of the house: "I heard that Wenjun wiped out the Chongjin Hu bandits, and returned to Runing from Northern Xinjiang."

"Yes, she specially asked me to pick you up." A Liao forced a smile, asked A Qiong to pack his luggage, and asked A Xi to go back together.Zhen Wenjun has already sent her a letter, asking her to send her mother to Huaiyang, and then return to Runing together after the mother and daughter are reunited.

A Qiong has not seen her daughter for many years, although her daughter will send her letters every month, even in northern Xinjiang, where the south and the north are separated by thousands of miles, there are still letters.The news of Zhen Wenjun being made a general had already spread to Sudu, which made Aqiong so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.

The current Alai reminds her of her past, or in other words, Alai is better than she used to be.She is Da Yu's hero, and even more so, Grandma's hero.

Ah Liao and his party picked up Aqiong and Axi to Huaiyang, they were all in ordinary carriages, and there was no sign of Qingyuan.Not only did Qingyuan disappear, but Ah Liao, who usually talked and laughed so happily that people wanted to gag her, suddenly became taciturn, saying no more than ten sentences on the way to Huaiyang.

Both A Qiong and A Xi were quite puzzled.

What happened to A Liao.

Ah Qiong and the others arrived in Huaiyang safely, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they heard a shout of surprise: "Grandma!" I saw a tall girl rushing out of the mansion, and before she could see her appearance, she bumped into her arms , wrapped around her waist, almost picked up by her:

"Grandma! I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss you so much!"

It was the voice of a grown woman, with a characteristic hoarseness that was often caused by shouting.Aqiong is considered to be very tall. He is a little hunched over the past few years and has been suffering from illnesses, but he is still tall and eye-catching among the crowd.The person holding her was taller than her, Ah Qiong felt strange, she had never seen this person before, why was this person so enthusiastic towards her?

Zhen Wenjun walked over quickly, frowned and said: "Xiao Xiao, don't mess around. Grandma is not in good health, how can I bear being tossed like this by you?"

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to let her go, still holding A Qiong's hand: "I haven't seen you for so many years, grandma is not only energetic but also young! Grandma, do you know how much I miss you without you by my side?" Telling bedtime stories, I can't fall asleep..."

A Qiongzai looked at the person in front of him carefully, although the facial features were stretched and he was thin and tall, he was indeed Xiao Xiao.Deep brows, big eyes, and a mountain root nose are the standard appearance of the descendants of the Changge Kingdom.

Zhen Wenjun stood behind Xiao Xiao, with his arms hanging by his side, seeing the warmth of their reunion after not seeing each other for many years, his eyes were a little moist.But after all, she is already 30 years old, and she is no longer as emotionally exposed as she was when she was a teenager, and she has to be more calm after all.

A Qiongzai stared at his daughter carefully, the years had already made her look like a standard adult, with many small wounds on her face, she couldn't help but touch her: "Ah Lai... Mom misses you so much."

"Mum." Zhen Wenjun couldn't bear it any longer, and stepped forward to hug her.

A Qiong gently stroked her head and wiped her tears.

It turns out that no matter how old or how old you are, you always have the right to act like a baby in front of your mother.
