General Zhou thought about all these things one by one. The more he thought about them, the more headache he had.
Originally, General Zhou was ill, and the princess' marriage could not be delayed. He could have General Zhou's deputy general send the bride off! Or he could have the King of Yan send someone to send her off.
Anyway, as long as the princess goes to Dajin, it will be fine.
But as luck would have it, there was a rumor outside that General Zhou might have contracted an infectious disease, and the rumor reached Da Jin Shichen's ears.
The people of the Jin Dynasty were no longer calm! They insisted on waiting until General Zhou recovered completely before sending the princess to the Jin Dynasty for marriage.
On the surface, it seemed that this was for the sake of General Zhou's health, but in reality, the Jin people were afraid of infectious diseases.
A few decades ago, the Jin people had a large-scale epidemic, which killed one-third of the Jin people, all of whom were young and middle-aged. This gave the heroes of the Central Plains an opportunity.
It was at that time that the old emperor rose up in rebellion, which led to the establishment of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
Therefore, the Jin people were very taboo about this.
The people of the Great Jin Dynasty even suspected that it was the emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty or the Prince of Yan who was behind this.
I just want to deal a heavy blow to Daikin just like I did decades ago.
So the Jin people did not dare to let them go.
Qiao Mu also thought about this and nodded with a headache, very understanding.
He thought, fortunately the emperor is not in Beiping Prefecture now. If he were in Beiping Prefecture, he would probably be so angry that he would kill General Zhou directly.
He is not capable of accomplishing anything, but is more likely to cause trouble.
Qiao Mu thought about his own position and had no other choice but to persuade him, "But General, you really have to take care of your health right now!"
"There is no other way."
"As long as you are healthy, everything else will fall into place."
General Zhou nodded.
This is all we can do now.
I just hope that the emperor will show leniency to him because he found Miss Hua.
"Qiao Mu, you have to keep an eye on them these days! If there is any letter from Bianjing City, report it back to me immediately!"
Qiao Mu nodded.
June 2nd.
General Zhou: "Any letter from Bianjing City?"
Qiao Mu: “No!”
The third day of June.
General Zhou: "Any letter from Bianjing City?"
Qiao Mu: “No!”
The fourth day of June...
The fifth day of June...
Until the sixth day of June.
General Zhou felt sick when he thought that today was Hua Wanru's wedding day.
He wanted to stop Hua Wanru's wedding. But he was a weakling now, unable to even get out of bed. The five thousand elite troops he brought were all outside Beiping Prefecture and could not enter the city at all.
Moreover, they were now in the territory of the King of Yan. If they dared to take action, they might not be able to stop the wedding, but they would definitely not end up well.
General Zhou cried silently in his heart.
Your Majesty! Do you really not care about Miss Hua? Or has something happened?
What he didn't know was that last night, in a ravine outside the city of Peking.
Qiu Mobai was in a good mood and took Hua Qingqing to have a barbecue dinner outdoors.
There happened to be several homing pigeons among them, so we roasted them and ate them. They tasted really good.
"Brother Qiu, it turns out that roasted pigeon is so delicious!" Hua Qingqing was still licking her fingers.
Qiu Mobai wiped her hands and said, "You like it? Then we can bake some next time."
Qiu Mobai secretly thought, if there was a carrier pigeon from someone's house that he didn't like, he could just roast it for Qingqing to eat! No waste!
Hua Qingqing thought so too! "Okay, okay!"
Of course, the letter on the pigeon's leg was burned directly as firewood. Hua Qingqing didn't even open it.
Qiu Mobai pretended not to see it.
They ate and drank their fill, and returned to the city just before curfew.
Early this morning, the whole Beiping Prefecture seemed to be filled with joy.
Because today is the day when the eldest daughter of Lord Hua’s family gets married.
Hua Daren had only been in Beiping Prefecture for more than a year, but he had helped His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to manage Beiping Prefecture and several other prefectures in an orderly manner.
The people live and work in peace and contentment.
In the past, the King of Yan actually didn't care much about his fiefdom. He often stayed at the border and lived in the military camp. He rarely returned to the capital.
Therefore, the several fiefs of the King of Yan were all under the full charge of several prefects sent by the court. The prefects also controlled the economic lifeline of all the fiefs of the King of Yan.
They deceived their superiors and subordinates, enriched themselves, imposed heavy taxes and imposed miscellaneous charges under various pretexts.
Beiping Prefecture was relatively better, but the people in several other nearby prefectures were living in dire straits.
The King of Yan noticed everything, but he turned a blind eye to it because he had neither the will nor the power.
He only ensured that the Great Jin would not cross the border and invade the Great Sheng Dynasty. This was also the thing that Murong Zijin cared about most during his lifetime. He did not want to ask about anything else.
In fact, the people in the land of King Yan also had complaints against him, but they also thought of King Yan guarding the border.
The people were also helpless.
But ever since the Prince of Yan became ambitious and wanted to provide a foundation for his son, he began to find ways to take back power.
But the Prince of Yan had only military generals under his command, and he himself was only a half-baked man.
They couldn't just fight and kill the civil officials, but would be played around by them.
Later, Hua Changjue came with his family.
The King of Yan simply let go and let Hua Changjue be responsible for managing all of the King of Yan's fiefdoms.
After all, Hua Changjue was at the heart of the imperial court and had worked hard for many years. Dealing with these local governors was a piece of cake.
In less than a year, he had brought all the prefects and officials under control.
Those troublemakers who refused to obey the rules had already been beheaded.
So now, the people in the King of Yan’s fiefdom live and work in peace and contentment, and the whole country is thriving.
