After the child was born, everyone's hearts calmed down. Prince Zhong and his wife took a carriage back to Prince Zhong's Mansion at the middle of the night.
The next day, New Year's Day, early in the morning, Duke Dingguo Lu Minghan went to the palace in person to announce the good news to the Emperor and the Empress.
In the following days, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion was crowded with people, some coming to pay New Year's greetings, and some coming to congratulate the Duke Dingguo on the new birth.
It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion finally quieted down.
Lu Zifeng returned to the yard and saw that since the child was born, the servants in the yard had spoken and acted much more quietly.
After entering the delivery room, the smell of blood was gone, and there was a scent of milk instead.
Lu Zifeng knew that this was the smell of a child. According to the rules of the Dayu Dynasty, mothers of noble families would not breastfeed their children, but would usually hire a wet nurse to do so.
While Situ Yao was pregnant, Princess Zhong had already selected five wet nurses. Finally, after the child was born, she finally chose two wet nurses to take care of the child.
At the beginning, Lu Zifeng was still thinking about what he had heard in his previous life: breastfeeding is the best way to feed a baby, and colostrum is the best. However, Lu Zifeng did not dwell on this matter anymore. After thinking about it, he decided to adapt to the times.
Lu Minghan and Lu Mingyuan discussed the child's name for a long time before finally deciding on it. Because the next generation of Lu Zifeng and his family had the character "Yun", the child's name was finally called Lu Yunhui.
All we have to do is wait until the day before the New Year to open the ancestral hall and record his name in the family tree.
The nickname was finally decided to be Hui Ge'er.
Time flew by and it was March. News came from southern Xinjiang that the chieftains in southern Xinjiang had rebelled. During the suppression of the rebellion, His Royal Highness the King of Jing was seriously injured and could no longer lead the troops to continue suppressing the chieftains.
Emperor Situ Yong looked at the battle report in his hand, frowned, and thought for a while.
"The Minister of War, Duke Dingguo Lu Minghan, General Xiao Changhe, Duke Dingguo's son Lu Zifeng, and Prince Jing's son Situ Chen are here to see you."
Dingguo Gongfu.
"Uncle, have you received any news about the rebellion of the chieftains in southern Xinjiang and the injury of my uncle, Prince Jing?"
Lu Minghan was reading a book when Lu Zifeng suddenly rushed in. He frowned and was about to scold him, but he was frightened by Lu Zifeng's words and broke out in a cold sweat. After a long while, he asked.
"What did you just say?"
Lu Zifeng also knew that his uncle was shocked by his words, so he hurriedly repeated them.
Upon hearing this, Lu Minghan sat down and looked at Lu Zifeng.
"Brother Feng, can you tell uncle where you got the news?"
When Lu Zifeng came, he had no intention of hiding it from his uncle anymore.
"Uncle, before coming to the capital, my nephew rescued several members of a killer organization. I eventually subdued them all and they are very loyal to me. Over the years, I have asked them to gather intelligence for me all over the country. This is all the information they have passed on to me. It is possible that the palace has already received the information by now."
Lu Minghan looked at his nephew with a complicated expression. He really didn't expect that his nephew could actually win over people in the martial arts world to use them for his own purposes.
Now it seems that his people are quite powerful. He has already obtained the information that I haven't received yet. In this way, it seems that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion can be handed over to this kid in the future without any worries.
"We don't know whether the emperor has received the news yet. If he hasn't received the news, we really can't go to the emperor."
Lu Zifeng also understood this logic. "I'm thinking now that the Emperor should be able to get the information within half a day. We need to prepare early to avoid being unsure of how to respond if the Emperor asks. Also, I suspect that this time I might have to go to Southern Xinjiang."
Lu Minghan also agreed with Lu Zifeng's speculation and nodded.
"Well, you should be prepared to go on a long journey!"
As soon as Lu Minghan finished speaking, he heard the guards outside report that someone had come from the palace, inviting the Duke and the Crown Prince to enter.
Lu Zifeng and Lu Minghan looked at each other, nodded, and walked out.
"Go pack up and we'll go to the palace together."
When the uncle and nephew arrived at the imperial study, Situ Chen and Xiao Changhe had already arrived.
When Situ Yong saw that everyone was present, he handed the memorial sent from Southern Xinjiang to several people to read in turn.
"This is the current situation. Although Prince Jing is not in danger of death for the time being, he is unable to lead the army. Therefore, I plan to send Xiao Changhe to Southern Xinjiang to take over Prince Jing's command of the three armies. We must subdue all the chieftains in Southern Xinjiang."
"Situ Chen, you will also go to Southern Xinjiang this time to help Xiao Changhe lead the three armies."
Situ Chen's heart sank. He knew that the emperor was taking the opportunity to take away his family's military power. Fortunately, he and his son had no other ideas, so he nodded in agreement.
"Your Majesty, I will do my best to help General Xiao."
Lu Minghan and Lu Zifeng stood aside without saying a word, just waiting for the emperor's arrangements.
"Lu Zifeng, this time I'm sending you to Southern Xinjiang to protect Prince Jing as he returns to the capital. Are you willing to go?"
Lu Zifeng saluted.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
Situ Yong saw that the matter had been explained and said.
"Well, you can go now. We will leave for Southern Xinjiang within three days. You don't need to say goodbye to me before you leave."
Then the three of them left the imperial study, but Lu Minghan was left behind.
"Cousin, I'm going back now. Let's get ready. How about we set off early tomorrow morning?"
Lu Zifeng knew how anxious Situ Chen was at the moment, so he spoke directly.
Situ Chen looked at Xiao Changhe beside him.
"General Xiao, what do you think? If we don't have enough time, we can spend the night there."
Xiao Changhe was able to survive in the officialdom, so he was not such a tactless person. Didn't he see that the Prince of Dingguo had just said that they would set off early tomorrow morning? How could he have the nerve to say that they would set off later? He said with a smile.
"Prince Jing is worried about the prince, and I am also worried about the safety of the prince. It is better for us to leave as soon as possible."
Seeing Xiao Changhe being so sensible, Situ Chen saluted with a smile.
"Thank you, General Xiao, for your generosity. This prince is deeply grateful. When we arrive in Southern Xinjiang, I will do my best to help General Xiao."
Seeing that the two men had already discussed how to act, Lu Zifeng felt relieved. To be honest, Lu Zifeng was still worried that King Jing was in danger. Not to mention that King Jing was Lu Zifeng's uncle, even if it was because of his kindness, Lu Zifeng would not let him continue to stay in southern Xinjiang and put his life in danger. He knew that there were many snakes, rats, insects and ants in southern Xinjiang, and the jungle was full of poisonous miasma. King Jing was injured, and every day he stayed there would be more dangerous.
After saying goodbye, the three of them went back home to prepare to leave.
After returning home, Lu Zifeng went to see Situ Yao first. Situ Yao was sitting on the bed sewing clothes for her son Lu Yunhui. When she heard that Lu Zifeng was coming back, she put down her work and stood up to greet him.
