Chapter 825: It's Tang Jun(1/3)
The emperor and the empress's car arrived in Bingzhou.
The Bingzhou officials came out to welcome him and immediately welcomed the emperor and empress.
Wu Mei sat in the car, lifting the curtain to look at the situation in the city.
"The people here are so tough that they have always been a place where elite soldiers are produced." Wu Mei put down the curtain of the car.
There was Zhou Shanxiang in the car, and she smiled and said, "This is the queen's hometown!"
Wu Mei shook her head, "Wu family was born here, but I have no impression of Bingzhou."
Zhou Shanxiang whispered: "Empress, Your Majesty came to Bingzhou specially. This is to let the Empress return home in glory."
Wu Mei was silent.
After arriving at the palace, the emperor and the empress went in to rest, but everyone did not disperse, but waited outside.
A group of women came and shouted.
"The Empress is a man from Wenshui. Emperor Gaozu also raised an army in Jinyang. It can be seen that this is the place where the Tang Dynasty is the dragon-rise!"
"Everyone, may we ask for the Queen?"
A group of women were shouting.
In the palace, Li Zhi and Wu Mei had dinner together after taking a shower.
After dinner, Wang Zhongliang brought someone to serve tea.
Li Zhi smiled and said, "I am here in Bingzhou today. You can also gather with your old relatives. I promised you, and you can do your best to be kind."
Wu Mei's expression was a little dazed: "I was not born here, but Aye mentioned the Wenshui River in Bingzhou many times back then. The one whom Aye never forgets before leaving is also here. The fallen leaves return to the roots, and the fox dies in the hills. I also want to come and see Aye never forgets his hometown."
Li Zhi stood up, "Emperor Gaozu raised an army in Jinyang and received many help. There are many tombs of the dragon ministers here. In a few days, I will invite some people and reward some. This trip is to show kindness, and it can be regarded as having fun with the people."
Wu Mei suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't Your Majesty returning home in glory?"
This woman even had to argue with me. She was indeed the first shrew among the queens throughout history... Li Zhi pointed at her, smiled, and then went out.
Wu Mei slowly returned to the back, got on the bed, and lay quietly.
Then the emperor either invited banquets or inspected them all day long, and went to the old ancestral hall where the Li family lived to worship.
"With the warrior, Yin Kaishan, Liu Zhenghui served food."
Li Zhi's orders sparked a wave of craze in Bingzhou.
A discerning person said: "Yin Kaishan and Liu Zhenghui are both accompanimental, and what Your Majesty wants is the warrior."
"This is when one person has attained enlightenment, and the chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven. But why did the Wu family not hear the news?"
Wu's family is all cousin here. Many people come outside the palace every day to ask for the queen, but they are not allowed to meet.
On this day, Wu Mei suddenly sent someone to pass the message.
"The queen will host the relatives and neighbors of Wu's family in the palace the next day."
As soon as the news came out, Bingzhou was in full swing.
"Queen, many people want to catch up with relatives!"
Shao Peng said disdainfully: "Those people don't look at their family genealogy. They can't get along with each other, and they dare to pretend to be relatives."
Wu Mei sat there quietly, occasionally looking up, with the meaning of thinking in her eyes.
"My hometown is here..."
The queen's eyes were filled with favor and she became indifferent.
On the day of the banquet, the palace was quite lively.
A group of men and women entered the palace respectfully, the man was arranged in front and the women were taken behind.
"The queen is here, remember the etiquette."
The queen came to entertain them in person, which gave her a lot of face.
Everyone entered the hall and sat down, and the queen came soon after.
"Have you seen the Queen."
Everyone saluted, and the brave one looked up at Wu Mei, and couldn't help but be shocked.
What a majestic queen who is afraid to look at her.
Very powerful.
Wu Mei sat down and said with a smile: "Sit all."
After everyone sat down, Wu Mei raised her glass, so everyone drank a glass.
Wu Mei raised her chopsticks and everyone started to eat.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Wu Mei put down her chopsticks, and everyone also put down her chopsticks.
In fact, the so-called banquet is really boring. There is an emperor or queen sitting on it. Can you still eat and drink freely? Can you still talk and joke freely?
Some people are so nervous that they feel uncomfortable.
Wu Mei smiled and said, "Bingzhou is my hometown, and my father was buried here. You are even a relative of Wu's family. I am very happy to see you today."
You must laugh at this moment, but not exaggerate.
Everyone showed standard smiles and joy.
"Bing Governor General Shi and Sima each added one level."
The queen began to show kindness.
But she was able to upgrade the local officials, this authoritarian... everyone exchanged a happy look with each other.
Then they rewarded relatives. Each of the direct relatives had one thousand pieces of cloth and other gifts, and there were rewards from outside the five robes and neighbors. Everyone couldn't help but be happy.
"Thank you, Queen."
"A woman over 80 years old in Bingzhou was awarded the title of the county monarch."
This county monarch is just a title, but everyone still thanks it.
Wu Mei looked at everyone and suddenly reached out to touch the hairpin on her head.
A woman in her forties was considered Wu Mei's elder, and she stood up and said, "The Queen's hairpin is actually made of wooden? The Queen is so frugal, which makes me admire her."
Wu Mei smiled slightly.
The women turned around, and the women looked instigated and urged.
This trick was played under my nose... Wu Mei's face remained unchanged, but her mind flew elsewhere.
The Liaodong expedition is probably due to preliminary results. What is the result of the battle? Is it safe? It would be even better if I can make a contribution... If he makes great contributions this time, I will definitely strive for promotion for him...
But Ping An refused to be promoted, saying that he was still young... This nihilated person, why don't he be promoted? If he refuses this time, there will be a place outside the palace gate...
The woman was startled when she saw Wu Mei frowning, but she still said with a thorn in her mouth, "When I learned that the queen was named, I was excited. Who can compare with the relatives of the clan? I think the queen has no relatives in Chang'an. Although we are vulgar, we are willing to go through fire and water for the queen..."
She looked up at the queen, her heart full of hope.
Whether you are kinship or not, my hometown is my hometown!
As the saying goes, if one person is enlightened, a chicken and a dog are promoted to heaven, a hero must have three helpers. If you don’t promote relatives, it’s reasonable?
Wu Mei smiled slightly, "For Wenshui and Bingzhou, it is natural to be intimate, but I have relatives in Chang'an."
The woman smiled and said, "The old lady and the eldest lady are both in Chang'an! But..."
What can the two women do?
And I heard that the eldest lady Wu Shun actually brought her daughter to the palace... Hey! It turned out that the mother and daughter served the emperor together and competed for favor with the queen. Is this a helper? This is an opponent!
Wu Mei said lightly: "I have my own reason."
The woman suddenly thought of something, she hesitated for a moment, thinking that she was an elder...
"The queen is talking about that young man? We all heard that the queen recognized a brother in Chang'an, called Jia Ping'an or Wuyang Gong!" The woman smiled and said, "But at least it's more reliable to have blood ties."
Why give it to outsiders when you have the benefits? Isn’t it delicious to give it to us?
Wu Mei touched the sandalwood hairpin on her head and squinted her eyes slightly.
There was a little noisy outside, Wu Mei nodded and Shao Peng went out to check it out.
Later he returned happily, "Queen, Liaodong will win."
Wu Mei was excited and said, "Tell me."
Shao Peng held the copy of the good news in his hand and said loudly: "...It was night, our army built a boat bridge. In front of Fo Xiao, our army forced to cross Yalu River and was discovered by the enemy. The command of Wuyang Gong fought fiercely for a long time and repelled the enemy in one battle..."
The woman, including those women, was stunned.
Wu Mei's mouth slightly raised.
How could these women know Ah’s skills? They are a group of lingering women!
"Then our army then divided our troops to attack three groups. Pang Tongshan, the chief general of the middle line, was besieged and was in danger. After Wuyang Gong found out, he led his troops to attack the enemy camp at night, beheading more than 30,000 in one battle, and the enemy's 70,000 troops were defeated and captured 20,000. Goryeo's famous general Wen Shamen was beheaded by Li Jingye, Sima of Wuyang Gong..."
