Xingyang Palace.
After Lu Lin left the palace, he slowly rode his horse back to the house, and when he was far away, he saw a familiar man waiting at the main entrance.
This figure is tall, with the unique courage of generals.
A pair of eyes, as sharp as a falcon, flashed a cold light in the dark night.
It is the righteous son Lu Fei.
“Father,” Lu Fei quickly greeted him, held the reins for Lu Lin himself, and reached out to help Lu Lin dismount.
Lu Lin really drank a lot of wine tonight, but the cold wind blew away a lot of alcohol along the way.
At this time, it was in a state of slight intoxication.
The adopted son was so filial, Lu Lin accepted it with pleasure, and got off the horse with the help of Lu Fei.
The strong smell of alcohol wafted into his nostrils.
Lu Fei was
a little amused: “Why did the foster father drink so much wine in the palace?”
Lu Lin whispered: “The emperor poured the wine for me personally, how can I do it if I don’t drink it.”
Even the adoptive father is drunk like this, Li Jing must be drunk.
Lu Fei kindly didn’t joke about Li Jing’s alcohol intake, and helped Lu Lin back to the yard.
She personally waited for Lu Lin to change and sleep.
As soon as Lu Lin lay down, the spirit of drinking poured out, and he couldn’t help but talk more than usual.
“This time, I took the initiative to let the old soldiers return home, and the emperor was very moved. When drinking tonight, the emperor and I said a lot of heartfelt words, mentioned the late emperor and the dead Li Yi Li Chang, and cried a lot. It’s so heart-wrenching
.”
“The first emperor is famous, everything is good, but he is too confused in the inner house. He is flat to the serious first wife and the first son, and favors the mother and son of the Meng family, which inflates Li Yi’s heart. Such a catastrophe.”
“The son is not taught, the father is wrong. In such a situation, the late emperor has a spirit underground, so he should repent.”
Lu Fei whispered: “When it comes to raising children, the late emperor compares justice. Father is far away.”
A father’s kindness to his children does not need to be talked about all the time, just watch the action.
The adoptive father loves Lu Mingyu the most, and he is also very kind to their adopted sons and daughters, and takes everything to heart.
Several of them are sisters and brothers, although they are not related by blood, but they are close to each other and trust each other.
They are each other’s most solid backing.
Hearing these words, Lu Lin grinned happily: “That’s true. My sons and daughters are more filial than each other. How could the late emperor have such a blessing.”
Lu Fei also smiled and sat beside the bed as a foster father Covering the quilt, he asked in a low voice, “Foster father, the emperor has not officially issued an decree. Can we delay the repatriation of the veterans to their hometown?”
Lu Lin glanced at Lu Fei: “Is there anyone in the barracks? Are you making a fuss?”
Lu Fei sighed helplessly: “Those who are over 40 years old, I heard that they can get a lot of money to settle down and go back to their hometown to marry a daughter-in-law and have a son. They are all very happy. Some are unwilling to leave. He said that he has been away from home for many years, and he has no family at home, so he is unwilling to go back.”
Lu Linlue thought for a while: “Those who are willing to go back will be repatriated. Those who really do not want to go back must leave the Xingyang Barracks first. They will be placed in the Lu family’s farmhouse first. , I’ll pick some to serve as errands in the mansion in the future.”
The personal soldiers and stewards in the Lu mansion basically came this way.
Even if they are injured and can’t do anything serious, the Lu family will always support them.
Lu Lin ruled the army strictly, but it did not damage his prestige in the Xingyang army at all.
It is precisely because of this kindness under strictness.
Lu Fei nodded in response.
Lu Lin smiled again and warned: “The imperial court will not keep any money for the An family, but give them all of it. In addition, take out the money from our Lu residence, and each person will make up fifty taels of silver.
” Speak up. Otherwise, those bastards will all depend on each other and refuse to leave.”
Lu Fei laughed dumbly and nodded in response.
After a pause, he said in a low voice, “Foster father, in the future, we will only have 50,000 troops in Xingyang. Are you really not worried about the future?”
Lu Lin and his adopted son looked at each other and said slowly, “Say It’s impossible not to worry at all. However, people can’t give up eating because of choking. All day long to be suspicious of this and that, you don’t have to wait for the future, and now you are living in an uneasy life.”
“I also want to believe that Li Jing is a person who values love and righteousness. His affection for Xiaoyu is not fake, and his respect for my father-in-law is also true.”
“I hope Li Jing will not disappoint me.”
Lu Fei His eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: “If he dares to lose the fourth sister, our Lu family will support the fourth sister!”
Lu Lin warmed his heart and patted the back of Lu Fei’s hand with a smile: “You have this heart. That’s good. Don’t worry too much, Xiaoyu is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded by others. Anyone who wants to bully her must first measure whether they can afford it.”
This is also true.
Lu Fei grinned.
…
The next day, the father and son returned to the Xingyang army camp together.
Two days later, the emperor issued an decree to allow the middle-aged veterans of the Xingyang army to return to their hometowns.
The court distributed fifty taels of silver to each person.
Lu Lin took out his own money and made up fifty taels for each veteran.
It adds up to one hundred taels per person.
This sum of money is enough to go back to the hometown to build a few new houses and marry a daughter-in-law.
Most of the veterans happily took the money back to their hometowns.
On the thick military book, the names that were ticked off one by one, adding up to more than 14,000.
There are still more than a thousand veterans who refuse to leave.
Half of these veterans are disabled.
Some injured their legs, they couldn’t even stand up, and they couldn’t go back at all.
Some of the injuries are minor, and the injuries are on the arm or body, and they can’t do anything serious.
This group of veterans were placed in the Lujia farm, doing some light work, and receiving a salary every month, not much, but enough to wrap up their belly.
Some veterans have lost their relatives in their hometowns and have nowhere to go, and are unwilling to return to their hometowns.
There are others, who have all limbs and are in good health. They are just used to being in the military camp and don’t want to go back to their hometown to live the life of ordinary people.
These veterans entered the Lu Mansion and became the Lu family’s personal soldiers.
Lu Lin picked out some particularly tough ones and sent them to Lu Mingyu’s farm.
There are not many people, about three hundred.
However, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
com These 300 veterans are all experienced and brave soldiers.
Everyone can be a corporal, and it is no problem to lead ten or twenty new recruits.
After solemnly sending these three hundred veterans over, Lu Yi was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
The Crown Princess’s personal soldiers had suffered a lot in Jiangnan before, but now they have added 300 veterans in, and they want to expand their troops, and they can recruit thousands of new soldiers immediately.
He smiled solemnly and said in a low voice: “This is what my father-in-law specially ordered me to send. Don’t make any noise about this trivial matter.”
Lu Yi rubbed his fingers and replied with a smile: “That’s of course. The truth of making money in silence, Can I understand?” The
Crown Princess’s personal soldiers should now be called the Queen’s personal soldiers.
This army is not many, about 5,000.
In terms of combat power, it can equal an army of 20,000 people.
Moreover, this personal soldier is completely loyal to the Empress.
Talking about a thousand words and ten thousand, nothing is as stable and secure as having soldiers in hand.
