Chapter 151 General Huo Comes With a Gift
The capital in May is also already a bit hot.

With several fast horses that have entered Beijing one after another in recent days, both the emperor in Qianqing Palace and the East Palace have received news.

The emperor didn't say anything after reading the secret play, thought for a while, and just put the booklet close to the lamp to destroy it, and then passed the news to Fu Rong, the son of Guangwei Hou, to enter the palace to ask about the follow-up of Cheng Xiao's case.

The atmosphere in the East Palace is much more subtle.

The prince sat behind the desk and read the letter several times in a row: "The news is accurate? Shen Ying is not dead, is she really in Nankangwei?"

"It shouldn't be fake." The man bowed deeply and said, "For this reason, Mr. Peng sent the young man to the Huzhou Wharf to inquire about it. According to the officials who sat with Liu Wei and had tea before the incident, Liu Wei asked Many questions, every sentence is locked on Shen Ying who testified against Ling Yan before the battle.

"And the little one found out the exact time when Shen Changying arrived in Nankangwei, as well as the people around her, and they all match Shen Ying."

The crown prince was obsessed with the letter paper, and his thin lips were also tightly pursed under his frowning brows.

He got up from the case and walked into the hall: "If it was Shen Ying, why did Ling Yuan remain silent? He forgot how Ling Yan died back then? There is no reason. Didn't you go to Nankangwei to ask someone?"

"Nankang's defense is impenetrable, and the officers and men under it never leaked information without orders from Tan Shao."

The crown prince glanced at the top of his head: "What about the neighborhood where they live?"

"The alley they live in is full of generals. Outsiders can pass by, but if they stay in it, they will be targeted within two hours. And because the neighbors are familiar with each other, strangers are very conspicuous. The young ones dare not reveal their identities , so nothing was heard."

The prince frowned even tighter.

He shook the letter in his hand, lowered his head and glanced again: "Then what is the origin of Huo Rong who has a marriage certificate with Shen Ying?"

"I heard it was General Zhaoyi transferred from Dongning Wei. His ancestral home is Yunnan."

"Miss Shen, who was famous in the capital in the past, married a little general Zhaoyi like this?"

"It's not considered married. At present, I just signed a marriage certificate."

The prince was silent again.

The eunuch under the door came in: "Your Highness, Gu Shizi asks to see you."

The prince's eyes were dim, and he glanced under the door, then twisted the letter paper in his hand into a ball and stuffed it into his cuff.

"Go back and find out Ling Yuan's attitude towards Shen Ying. That Huo Rong is also going to investigate. Huzhou sends more people to lurk, and then tell Peng Xie that if Ling Yuan is reluctant to touch Shen Ying, then find a chance to get that Huo Rong was killed."

...The port affairs are on the right track, and there are not many yamen. Recently, most of them go to the guard to answer their appointments and then return to the house.

The garden is full of Aixiang.

While Huo Rong was standing under the window thinking about it, Tong Qi came in with a few letters: "I just received it, Cheng Xiao has been executed in the capital, and Mr. Peng is ready to go south.

"Huai'an Water Transportation Governor's Mansion, it is said that Peng Xie and Liu Shuo had already had a dispute. Our people saw the two of them confronting each other at the same banquet. Besides, Marquis Wu Ning has already sent people north.

"There is no news from the palace yet, and it may take a few days."

Huo Rong's eyes were dim, and he turned the teacup in his hand: "Let Huai'an keep an eye on it, Peng Xie lost Liu Wei, and most likely he will turn his anger on Liu Shuo, let them use this fire to add more fuel."

As he said that, he turned his head again: "Make a note and tell me about the marriage letter. Send someone back to Huizhou and let it go. Write it well, don't make any trouble."

The sky was shining on his finely crafted facial features, coupled with this inadvertent majesty, the atmosphere in the study was also solemn.

Tong Qi said yes.

The steward, Chen Xiang, walked in at this moment: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, at the Shen family's side, do you have any instructions?"

Both of them were silent for a while, Huo Rong frowned and said: "What should be done as usual?"

"Since there is a marriage certificate, it is reasonable to live according to the pomp of the family."

Huo Rong didn't comment.How can he and Shen Changying be considered family now?From that day to now, he hasn't even said a single word of his own to her.

"What if you don't get married?" He asked.

"If you're not married, there are regular etiquettes. As the man's side, we have to show some respect."

After a moment of silence under the window, Huo Rong lifted the lid of the tea bowl: "Then prepare the gift."

Chen Xiang said that he withdrew.

Huo Rong took two sips of tea, then put down the cup, walked to the mirror and straightened his clothes.

Changying went to the government office in the morning, and she was indeed sent to the office by Tan Shao, informing her that the appointment order and general seal issued by the Ministry of War had been issued.And explain the imperial seal and seal letter in front of several deputy commanders who are present.

The officers all expressed their congratulations one after another, and jokingly asked Changying to be the host, which was as it should be, so they avoided the Dragon Boat Festival today, and asked Zhou Liang to go to Xinghualou in the city to book a whole courtyard, and invited a church party, and agreed Go to dinner and listen to a play before noon tomorrow, and then bring everyone's family members along, and have fun together.

Huang Ji brought the news back to the mansion, Wu Ma and the others were naturally overjoyed.

Although it is not considered a high-ranking official from the fourth rank, he has been promoted two ranks in a row, and now that he has the rank of general, he is a real general.It can also be regarded as officially entering the official career, and in the future, if you make good use of it, she may not be absent from the list of generals in the Five Armies Commander's Mansion.

"I'm going to add some dishes!"

Wu Ma returned to the kitchen happily.

After Chang Ying ate a cup of tea, she also went into the study and opened the cabinet, and took out a blue booklet that was pressed on the bottom.

The official position has finally been promoted, and she can rest assured to plan for the future.

There are still eight months left before Yang Su returns to the capital, and he has not seen any changes so far. In his previous life, he seemed to appear in the capital from the sky, and it was impossible for people to search for clues.

She has never met Yang Su, but she has heard about his behavior in the capital in those years.

It is said that he is capable of bending and stretching, and can lift weights lightly. Although he has no experience in the palace, he seems to be able to deal with all parties with ease.

In the past few years, she tried her best to remember and record things about him. According to the time calculation, the emperor should have almost planned for him now, and he should be waiting to act somewhere.

But I just don't know if the two cases of Cheng Xiao and Water Transportation Department caused by her rebirth will cause any changes in the court?
After all, these two things are related to the prince, and the affairs of the court will affect the whole body.

"Girl, General Huo is here!"

While holding the brochure in a trance, Zi Xiang came in with a little excitement on his face. "I also brought a lot of rituals. The servants looked at it and found that there is a lot of food and use!"

Changying regained her senses, only to remember the matter of etiquette they discussed yesterday, she stared at the door blankly, and did not move for a long time.
