After the group warmed up for a while, He Dating said goodbye.
Xin Guoguo and the others also rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning the house.
They didn't clean all of them, just the few rooms we were staying in that night.
The next day I asked for help and cleaned other places.
Put away all the new items.
The firing officially began in the evening.
On the third day after moving into the courtyard, Jiang Nange and Lao Xue went to the Protectorate again.
Knowing that they had moved to the back door of the Protectorate Mansion, Han Yi specially asked the servants in the mansion to come and help clean up yesterday.
The two of them didn't care about the front door or the back door.
Besides, the back door was closer, so he knocked on it directly.
The gatekeeper at the back door also knew that the owner of the yard at the entrance of the alley had changed, and the owner was someone General Han valued.
He had already recognized the face.
Seeing the two people coming, he hurriedly invited them in and asked them to go to the gatehouse to warm themselves by the fire, while he hurried to the second gate to report.
Not long after the doorman returned, a servant came running in with a message:
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xue, the general invites you two to the flower hall for a chat."
The two men said goodbye to the doorman and followed the servant to the flower hall.
Han Yi is drinking tea.
Seeing the two of them, Han Yi put down his teacup, stood up and greeted them:
"Now that you're here, come and sit down. I was thinking that if you didn't come, I would just stay at your house myself."
Jiangnan Ge and Lao Xue both laughed:
"The general is joking."
Han Yi laughed:
"You came at the right time today. I have something here and I want your help."
Jiang Nange and Lao Xue exchanged a glance and bowed in unison, "At your command, General!"
Han Yi looked at the two of them:
"I'll be back in Beijing after the New Year, probably for a month or two at most. General Zeng has been assigned to Xiaoliu Village on the outskirts of Mobei Prefecture. I need you to secretly look after them for the next few days. Of course, the most important thing is to protect General Zeng's safety. What do you think?"
If there were no unfamiliar faces among his men, he would not have bothered these two.
After all, the two parties had just met and could not really be said to know each other well.
Jiangnan Ge and Lao Xue immediately agreed:
"Don't worry, General! We'll be leaving in a moment."
Han Yi's eyes were filled with relief:
"Then I'll leave this matter to you two. If there's anything you can't resolve, you can come to the Protectorate to find Da Niu. He'll send a message to the capital to let me know. I've already arranged for you two to register as refugees in Xiaoliu Village. When the time comes, you two will temporarily live in Xiaoliu Village as refugees."
Jiang Nange nodded: "Okay."
Lao Xue also nodded:
"Don't worry, General. Brother Jiang and I will protect General Zeng well. However, I wonder what's the important matter that made the general suddenly go to the capital?"
They didn't hear anything about what happened in the capital along the way.
Han Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After a long pause, he sighed softly, "The emperor is critically ill, and we must go to the capital to see him."
"How could this happen?! Wasn't it fine a while ago?"
Emperor Zhaowen was a wise ruler who worked hard to govern the country.
Whether in the hearts of officials or the people, he is a truly good emperor.
It's just that he worked too hard, and his body couldn't hold on any longer.
Now, at only forty-three, he is often ill and not as energetic as before.
Emperor Zhaowen now has three adult princes and two underage princes.
The factions of these five princes and their mother's families have been fighting each other to the death in recent years, and the entire court is in chaos.
If it weren't for Emperor Zhaowen's support, I'm afraid these people would have already lost their temper and recklessly abandoned everything.
Old Xue also remembered the good things about this emperor.
Han Yi shook his head helplessly: "The specific situation can only be known after returning to Beijing."
He actually suspected that some prince was too impatient and drugged the emperor.
But I'm not sure.
So, I had to return to Beijing as soon as possible.
At least he has soldiers.
If someone can't help but force the emperor to abdicate, he can still do his best to protect His Majesty.
Lao Xue and Jiang Nange were both a little worried: "General, go! We will protect General Zeng. As long as we are here, General Zeng will be here!"
Han Yi was deeply moved and stood up and bowed deeply: "Han Yi is here, thank you two warriors for your help!"
The two men also hurriedly returned the greeting: "General, you are too polite."
Han Yi had the household registration book given to the two men, asked them to change their clothes, gave each of them one hundred taels of silver, and sent them out.
Jiang Nan Ge went home and said something to Xin Guoguo, then went towards Xiaoliu Village with Lao Xue.
*
Capital city.
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Zhaowen was lying on the dragon couch, his eyes tiredly open, looking at his sons and women who were guarding his bedside.
"Your Majesty, you must get better!"
Concubine Liu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her affectionate eyes full of worry.
"Yes, Father, you must get better! I am an unfilial son and cannot share your worries. Dazhao cannot live without you!"
The eldest prince also had a sad look on his face.
"Don't worry, my royal brother. Father will be fine."
The Third Prince spoke in a firm tone.
Emperor Zhaowen shook his head slightly.
Looking at these sons, he felt powerless.
The struggle for the throne has existed since ancient times.
Even if it is just one acre and three mu of land in the home of an ordinary person, brothers will fight over it.
What's more, it's the royal family?
But looking at the hypocritical looks on his sons' faces, Emperor Zhaowen closed his eyes tiredly.
He knew very well that his health was getting worse and worse, and he was afraid that he didn't have much time left.
