General Tang was both wise and brave. After capturing a group of officers and General Xu, the other northern troops did not make any moves.
At this point, General Tang has completely controlled the Northern Border Army.
Two days later.
Ye Zelin went to the charity cemetery to bid farewell to Hua Mingqiao, Huo Linglong and others.
After Huo Linglong and Hua Mingqiao dug up the remains of the Huo family and buried them, they temporarily placed them in a charity cemetery. Huo Linglong and Hua Mingqiao are currently living in the charity cemetery.
"Uncle, aunt." Ye Zelin called Hua Mingqiao and the others.
Hua Mingqiao looked at him, "Zelin, you're here."
Ye Zelin said, "I'm here to say goodbye to you. I have to go back to the capital."
Huo Linglong asked, "So fast?"
"I must return to Beijing immediately. His Majesty is still waiting for me." Ye Zelin knew that he had to return to Beijing immediately. If he didn't go back quickly, he didn't know if he could see His Majesty for the last time.
He was even more worried about letting His Majesty face King Qinghe alone, so he had to return to the capital to help His Majesty.
"There's no need to be so anxious. Your Majesty is well-informed and dealing with King Qinghe shouldn't be a problem." Hua Mingqiao and the others didn't know that Zhao Zixu was poisoned. They only knew that Zhao Zixu had a plan to capture King Qinghe.
"Your Majesty and I are close friends. I don't trust Your Majesty to deal with Prince Qinghe alone. I want to go back to the capital to help Your Majesty." Ye Zelin was not in a position to talk about his relationship with His Majesty.
At this point, Hua Mingqiao said nothing more. He asked Ye Zelin, "Are you going back alone?"
"It's just me." Ye Zelin said.
"Let Brother Tang send some soldiers to go back with you." Hua Mingqiao suggested.
"No need, I can go back to Beijing alone." Ye Zelin rejected Hua Mingqiao's suggestion.
If he returns to the capital alone, he can get back to the capital as quickly as possible. If he brings a team with him, it will not only delay his return time, but also expose his whereabouts.
By this time, Ciyuan should have almost put down the rebellion in Songzhou, and might have even set out on his journey back to the capital.
"When will you return to Beijing?"
"I'm leaving soon. I'll come to the charity cemetery to say goodbye to you and pay my respects to General Huo Qing." Ye Zelin said.
Huo Linglong brought three incense sticks to Ye Zelin. Ye Zelin lit the three incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of General Huo Qing's spirit tablet.
Looking at General Huo Qing's spirit tablet, Ye Zelin felt a little emotional.
If General Huo Qing had not gotten into trouble, his father Ye Shiheng would have offended the late emperor in order to defend Huo Qing, and was sent by the late emperor to attack Northern Liao and Goryeo. As a result, he entered the palace and became a companion to His Majesty, who was then the Crown Prince.
If it weren't for the Huo Qing incident, he and His Majesty would not have met, let alone have a sworn brotherhood.
Sometimes, he wondered whether his meeting with His Majesty was a blessing or a misfortune.
Hua Mingqiao and Huo Linglong will not leave the northern border so soon. Setting up a temple to offer incense to General Huo Qing is a matter that General Tang Huanli is fully responsible for. They will not interfere in this matter. What they want to do now is to move the remains of the Huo family back to the Huo family's ancestral land for burial.
They will probably wait until the Huo family is buried before returning to the capital to pick up Yue Zheng.
"Aunt, uncle, if you need help, go find Jiang Li. Jiang Li will not leave the Northern Territory for the time being. If we have something to notify you, we will also send a message to Jiang Li." Ye Zelin said.
"We will. If we don't look for Jiang Li, we will also look for Brother Tang. You can go back without worrying about us." Hua Mingqiao said.
Huo Linglong, "My nephew-in-law, I'll trouble you and my niece to take care of Yue Zheng for a few more months."
After Ye Zelin paid tribute to General Huo Qing, he left the charity cemetery. He jumped on his horse, turned around, and rode away.
The cold wind from the north howled, breaking the white grass.
Ye Zelin galloped along the official road in the mountains and forests, letting the cold wind cut his handsome face. He rushed towards the capital without stopping, feeling extremely anxious.
Your Majesty, wait for me.
Prince brother, wait for me, Yu Shi will be back soon.
wait for me.
…
On the Mid-Autumn Night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
People in the city worshipped the Moon Goddess, ate reunion cakes and admired the moon with their families.
The General's Mansion was no exception. They did not hold a simple family banquet just because there were fewer masters in the house. They set up an altar, placed fruits and vegetables, and worshipped Yue Niang.
The family banquet was held in Feiyuan, and the dishes were personally approved by Madam Ouyang. The old general rarely showed favor to Madam Ouyang, his daughter-in-law, and praised her very much, saying that she organized a good family banquet.
After so many years, Mrs. Ouyang rarely received praise from her father-in-law, and she had a very satisfactory Mid-Autumn Festival.
The only ones missing were Ye Shiheng, her Lin'er, and Ye Xiaosi.
After the family dinner, Hua Fushu, Ye Yunlu, Ruhuan and Madam Ouyang accompanied the old general to watch the moon.
Wei Jie'er was still young, so Dugu Lanxi carried her back to Fengquexuan. Aunt Xu saw that her son Ye Xiaosi was not at home, so she had no mood to appreciate the moon and went back to her room after the family dinner.
"Grandfather, look, the moon in the sky is big and round." Ruhuan pointed to the bright moon in the sky.
The old general looked up at the large, bright moon. He wondered why Li Bai called it a white jade plate. "It's quite big and round."
He looked at his granddaughter, whose body was bathed in moonlight, and said, "This moon isn't as beautiful as our Huan'er's."
Ruhuan laughed and said, "I'm so beautiful, the moon is definitely not as beautiful as me."
The old general was amused by his granddaughter's words, "You are beautiful because your mother gave birth to you."
"My mother is pretty, that's why we brothers and sisters are pretty too." Ruhuan not only boasted about herself, but also brought her mother and brothers into the story.
The old general and his granddaughter chatted happily, "You four brothers and sisters are born well, all thanks to your mother."
The grandparents and grandchildren were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice Hua Fushu and her mother-in-law, Madam Ouyang, staring at each other.
Hua Fushu glanced at Ruhuan and the old general, pointed in the direction of the door, but looked at Madam Ouyang.
Mrs. Ouyang immediately understood what her daughter-in-law meant. She didn't even look at the old general and Ruhuan, but used her index and middle fingers to gesture how to walk.
Looking at Madam Ouyang's actions, Hua Fushu almost wanted to laugh. It turned out that her mother-in-law didn't want to watch the moon with the old man either, and she also wanted to leave.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shared the same plight. Neither of them was liked by the old man, and they felt a little uncomfortable watching the moon with the old general.
In fact, Hua Fushu was fine. She felt that the old general didn't like her very much, but he wasn't that annoying either. Sometimes the old general was willing to talk to her.
But Mrs. Ouyang is different. Ever since she came into the family, the old general has disliked her as his daughter-in-law. She would feel even more uncomfortable watching the moon with the old general.
Even though her father-in-law has been much kinder to her recently, Mrs. Ouyang still feels uncomfortable.
Ye Yunlu saw the little tricks of his mother and siblings, but he pretended not to see them. He took the initiative to join the chat between the old general and Ruhuan to cover for his mother and siblings.
Seeing Ye Yunlu pretending not to see anything, Mrs. Ouyang smiled. He was indeed her good eldest son.
She and Hua Fushu left Feiyuan in a dignified manner.
When the old general turned around, he didn't know when Madam Ouyang and her daughter-in-law left.
Of course, Ye Yunlu would not tell his grandfather when his mother and siblings left.
