Qin Mian and Lei Tie understood that Emperor Xiaohui would not let them go easily, but they had to go.
Emperor Xiaohui quickly calmed down, "If Lei Aiqing and Mrs. Zun have been wronged, just say to me, "Please resign", you can't make a joke.
Grandpa Li lay on the ground, sweating profusely, and secretly prayed that Lei Tie would take back what he had just said.
Lei Tie said firmly: "The emperor, the minister and his wife have decided."
The atmosphere in the imperial study room froze for a while.
At this time, a nervous voice from the servant came from outside the door: "Thank you to the emperor, Prime Minister Wen has an urgent need to see you."
"Xuan!"
Prime Minister Wen strode in, with rare dignity and anxiety hanging on his face.
Emperor Xiaohui frowned.
He noticed that Grandpa Li was kneeling on the ground profusely, the couples of Zhen Guogong looked serious, and Emperor Xiaohui's expressions were also quite ugly. Prime Minister Wen was obsessed with inquiries, and walked to the front of the imperial case.
Emperor Xiaohui waved his hand to stop him from saluting, "You don't need to be formal. Aiqing is so anxious, what big thing happened?"
Prime Minister Wen said solemnly: "Enjoy the emperor, the old minister has just received an urgent report from Lingzhou. A few days ago, earth movement occurred in Kuxian County, Lingzhou!"
"What!" Emperor Xiaohui was shocked, "How is the situation?"
Prime Minister Wen presented a memorial with both hands and elaborated: "According to the statistics of local officials, at least 50,000 people have been missing or injured, and 80% of the houses in the county have collapsed. The local officials responded quickly and immediately dispatched officers and soldiers to rescue, but the situation is not optimism."
Grandpa Li ran quickly to take the memorial and pass it to the emperor.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Xiaohui's face sank like water, and he considered a lot in an instant. Earth movement will inevitably cause huge losses. Needless to say, the time and place of this earthquake are not very good. Not long after the end of the battle between the Daxia Kingdom and the Tuluo Kingdom, if you are careless, you may be used to make a fuss. For example, spreading rumors that Emperor Xiaohui is not protected by God will be more serious and may provoke the people. Chaos. Historically, similar things are not uncommon.
"The emperor, what should I do now?" Prime Minister Wen said anxiously, "Ku County is in a special location. The longer the court's response is delayed, the more unfavorable the situation will be."
Emperor Xiaohui pondered for a while, his sharp gaze flicked over Qin Mian and Lei Tie, his expression suddenly relaxed, and he waved to Prime Minister Wen.
"I see. Aiqing first go to the side hall and sit down."
"Yes!"
After Prime Minister Wen left, Emperor Xiaohui finally noticed that Grandpa Li was still kneeling on the ground, "Li Fushou, get up."
"Thank you, the emperor." Grandpa Li quickly stood up and rubbed his knees secretly.
Emperor Xiaohui looked at Qin Mian and Lei Tie, and said solemnly: "Duke Zhen, Mrs. Zhen Guo, Daxia country is indeed powerful, but there are still many hidden dangers. Prime Minister Wen just said that you have all heard it. So, you have to resign?"
Lei Tie arched his hands and said, "Why don't the emperor think about it from another angle? Only the ministers leave, and the others have the opportunity to grow."
Qin Mian also said: "The emperor, the imperial physicians of the Taiyuan Hospital have excellent medical skills, but the officials are not necessary. In addition, the prescriptions of the Qinghu Pill have been sorted out and handed over to the judge."
Emperor Xiaohui frowned in disappointment, "It seems that you have made up your mind...You can also resign, but I have one condition."
Qin Mian's feeling is not good.
Lei Tie said: "The emperor, please speak."
Emperor Xiaohui stood up, put his hands on his back, walked out from behind the imperial case slowly, and walked down the steps with a solemn tone.
"Ku County of Lingzhou is close to the border of Daxia and Turuo. It is the nearest town to the border, which is equivalent to one of the gates of Daxia. Then, why from ancient times to the present, Tuluo has never chosen Kuxian Set out to attack Daxia Country? That is because the mountain ranges of Kuo County overlap and the mountain roads are rugged, which can be described as a natural barrier of Daxia Kingdom. When the earth moves, I am worried that the people in Kuo County will choose to move instead of rebuilding their homes under anxiety. . Once this is the case, it is equivalent to opening the country. What will be the consequences, I shouldn't have to say more. Therefore, I want you and two of you to go to Kuo County immediately, and give you up to three years to rebuild Kuo County. As long as you can achieve this At one point, I will allow both of you to resign. How?"
Qin Mian secretly scolded Emperor Xiaohui as an old fox, exchanged glances with Lei Tie, and asked, "Dare to ask the emperor, how many times is the earth movement in Kuxian this time?"
Emperor Xiaohui looked at him unexpectedly, paused, and replied, "This is the second time in ten years."
Qin Mian's heart was shaken. There were two earthquakes in just ten years. However, Emperor Xiaohui still did not approve of the migration of the people, and this approach could not help but chilling.
Emperor Xiaohui didn't seem to care about his thoughts. After returning to the imperial case, he was calm and self-sufficient. He took a sip of tea and asked quietly, "How are you thinking about it?"
Qin Mian and Lei Tie looked at each other.
Lei Tie whispered: "Listen to you."
The corners of Emperor Xiaohui's mouth twitched, pretending not to hear.
Qin Mian considered for a moment, and then asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, if the two ministers find a more suitable location to guard the country, can they move to Kuo County?"
"Yes." Emperor Xiaohui reminded, "but, in this way, three years may not be enough."
Qin Mian scolded him shamelessly.
"Good. We accept this condition."
Emperor Xiaohui nodded, "I have made a plan, you set out as soon as possible."
After Qin Mian and Lei Tie left the palace, they moved separately. Lei Tie went to the barracks, Qin Mian went to drop out his two sons, and the rest was just some trivia.
In order to facilitate Lei Tie and Qin Mian's actions, the identities of Lei Tie Town Guo Gong and Zhen Guo Gong Grand General were retained. Emperor Xiaohui removed Qin Mian from office in Taiyuan Hospital and appointed him as the new county magistrate of Kuo County.
When the imperial decree came out, the people in the capital were all in an uproar. Even if Qin Mian is capable, his main identity is the "lady" of Zhen Guogong, so what is the matter of letting him be the magistrate?
When the emperor ordered Qin Mian and Lei Tie to rebuild Xuxian's imperial decree, everyone was suddenly surprised: That's it.
Qin Mian was very interested in being a county magistrate. He is also a man, not to mention making merits, but also hoping to do a great job. He has the ability to develop Qingshan Village, but he may not be incapable of developing a county seat.
It took a day to deal with the affairs of the capital. Qin Mian and Lei Tie set out with two sons, a wolf, a bear, a golden eagle, nine generals, and 10,000 elite cavalry. It is good if there is space. Gold and silver jewelry and the gold rewarded by Emperor Xiaohui can be placed in the space, and there is no need to use a carriage to attract people.
Steward Fu and Aunt Fu are not young, so they stay in the town government office to take care of them.
On the day of leaving, Chen Mufeng, Chang Sun He, Chang Sun Hong, and Lei Xiangzhi all came to see off.
The tears of the "cry-loving ghost" of Chang Sun Hong flowed, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were both moved and funny, and simply entrusted him to take care of the two pots of mimosa that Chen Mufeng had sent before to show that their friendship was still there. Chang Sun Hong broke his tears into a smile.
Emperor Xiaohui stood in the crowd in casual clothes, watching Qin Mian and Lei Tie go away.
Prince Ming sighed in a low voice, "Brother, I really didn't expect you to let them go."
Emperor Xiaohui smiled faintly, "I--of course I can't bear it, but there is some truth to what Shuima said. With them, no one else has a chance to make a head start. I just hope their ability can make some people more crisis. sense."
Prince Ming nodded slightly, "Brother is right."
Qin Mian and Lei Tie rode ahead on horseback, one vigorous and the other majestic, which made the girls blush, and even more boldly threw down the sweet-scented handkerchief from the second floor.
The fan in Qin Mian's hand was slapped without a trace, and the handkerchief floated to the back of the team.
Qin Mian glanced at the crowd casually and saw Qin Wencai standing side by side with a middle-aged woman, his eyes all falling on him. Qin Wencai's eyes were red, and there were tears in the woman's eyes.
Qin Mian was taken aback, a faint smile curled up on his lips, and nodded slightly.
The woman's tears flowed more fiercely, and she waved her hand, with blessing and relief in her eyes.
The team started to accelerate after leaving the capital.
The horses in the family have been raised with spiritual spring water for so long. They are strong and vigorous, and they run fast and steady with two carriages.
The ten thousand elite soldiers were all ordered by Lei Tie himself, and they were all his followers, who were very convinced by him.
The first day was spent rushing all the way.
After the sun went down, the team stopped and found a clearing to camp. The soldiers had their own divisions of labor. Soon the bonfire in the camp lit up, and the scent of rice noodles floated with the evening breeze, covering the entire camp.
A little bit of white, golden retriever, and golden eagle's ability is particularly eye-catching at this time, or run or enclave into the distant mountains and forests, and bring back a dozen prey in a few rounds.
Qin Mian left half a deer for his family, and Lei Qin Zhong gave the rest to the soldiers.
The soldiers had long heard that the general's wife was approachable. At this time, they saw it with their own eyes, and felt even more so. They were also close to Qin Mian.
When the meal was cooked, Qin Ruiqi and Lei Ruilin were like birds out of the cage, carrying a little white and golden eagles running and playing in the woods. Golden Retriever seems to have a preference for fireflies, standing alone in the distance, with a pair of innocent eyes chasing the light spot, after aiming, he stretched out his paws to grab it, stared at it for a while and let it go, then grabbed, then let... …
Not to mention them, even Qin Mian felt that he was relieved after leaving the capital, wearing a white dress sitting on a tree branch, holding a green flute in his hand. The melodious sound of the flute floated in the woods, making everyone feel in a daze that they were out for a tour of the mountains.
"Master and madam, there is a river not far away." Lei Qin Zhong and Lei Qin Shun walked back with their torches and wiped their sweat.
"It just happens to be able to wash the two'little monkeys' well in a while." Qin Mian looked at the two sons who were running wildly.
