Chapter 172 Applying for Expedition
Murong Hao hurriedly ran out of the camp and said to Tianyi:
"Tianyi, follow me into the palace."
Then he jumped on his black horse and ran towards the palace.
At this moment in the imperial study, Emperor Murong Yuan was still angry about which general to send to guard Jinwei City.
Murong Hao had just approached the imperial study room when he heard the emperor's angry voice inside:
"It's unreasonable. I've spent all my money raising these generals. They hide and don't want to go to Jinwei City when something happens. They usually rush to go to wars. Now the smallpox won't go away. I'm really pissed off."
"Crack..."
There was a sound of a water glass falling to the ground, and Eunuch Li beside the emperor said hurriedly:
"Hey, don't get angry, Your Majesty, there will always be a way."
"Those generals only want military glory. Now I send them to guard Jinwei City, but no one steps forward. I'm really angry."
At this time, Murong Hao was outside asking for an audience, and heard a father-in-law outside shouting loudly in the outer hall:
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Eighth Highness wishes to see you."
Murong Yuan frowned, what was he doing here? Isn't it already chaotic enough?
"Announce him to come in."
"Yes."
Murong Hao entered the Imperial Study Room and saw broken cups on the floor. He found a clean piece of ground and saluted:
"My son, I will meet my father."
"Hao'er, father, this place is in chaos, what do you want?"
"Back to my father, I am willing to lead troops to Jinwei City to help the local people and overcome the difficulty of smallpox with them."
When Murong Yuan heard his son's words, he was satisfied at first, and then worried.
"Hao'er, that's smallpox, aren't you afraid?"
"I am not afraid. I am willing to lead troops there for the sake of the local people."
"I remember that you have never had smallpox. Your mother-in-law only has one son. Have you made up your mind?"
"Go back to my father, I have thought about it."
Murong Yuan looked at Murong Hao who was standing next to him. He had made many meritorious deeds recently. He was one of the sons that Murong Yuan liked, and he didn't want him to take risks.
"Forget it, let me think about it again. You can go down first."
Just listen to Murong Hao saying sincerely below:
"Father, since ancient times, when smallpox has appeared, there will always be rumors that it is God's punishment for the royal family. My father will ask your son to go. To break such rumors, we, the royal family, must go to eliminate them. My father will let your son go." I will lead my troops and go forward, I will definitely live up to my father’s expectations for me.”
Murong Yuan thought for a while, yes, rumors began to spread in Shangjing City in the past few days, saying that God would not bless Dongsheng Kingdom, smallpox began to spread, and the people of the world would soon be wiped out.
He looked at Murong Hao, who was wearing military uniform, and finally nodded and said:
"Then I will bring you 10,000 Dong Yulin troops, 20 imperial doctors, and 20 carts of various medicinal materials. I will go to Jinwei City tomorrow. I hope you can return in triumph as soon as possible. Go down and say goodbye to your mother and concubine. , she will be very worried about you."
"Yes, thank you very much, Father, for your support. I will take my leave."
Murong Yuan looked at Murong Hao's leaving figure and said softly:
"Hao'er is a good son. I hope he can come back safely this time."
Eunuch Li responded from the side:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince, has his own destiny. He will come back safely."
Murong Hao hurriedly arrived at Concubine Rong's Changchun Palace. It was dusk and Concubine Rong was preparing to have dinner.
Seeing Murong Hao entering Changchun Palace in a hurry, she said curiously:
"Hao'er, why did you come to the palace today?"
Murong Hao wanted to go back to the military camp to order troops, so he hurriedly said:
"Mother and concubine, my son will lead the troops to go on an expedition tomorrow. I say goodbye to my mother and concubine today."
"Going to war? Haven't you heard of any fighting on the border recently?"
"The place where I am going is not far, only 300 miles away from the capital."
"300 miles? Where?"
"Jinwei City."
Although Concubine Rong was in the harem, the emperor had been resting in her Changchun Palace for the past two days. How could she not know that the emperor was most concerned about the smallpox in Jinwei City?
She was shocked and said:
"What? Hao'er, are you going to Jinwei City? Did your father ask you to go? I want to go find him. How can I, a son like you, let you go?"
As she was about to stand up, Murong Hao helped her sit down and said warmly:
"Mother and concubine, my father didn't ask me to go, I applied for it myself."
"Hao'er, are you stupid? That's smallpox. You haven't had smallpox since you were a child. This is smallpox with a high mortality rate. If you don't die, you will be disfigured!"
"My son looks so good, my mother and concubine are not afraid. My son will come back safely."
At this moment, Concubine Rong's eyes were filled with tears and she stopped and said:
"You can't go. I will go find your father now."
Murong Hao knew that his mother cared about him, so he comforted him softly:
"Mother and concubine, my father has issued an imperial order. I will set off tomorrow. The emperor's order cannot be violated."
"Haoer, you are really stupid. Other princes avoid going to that place. Why do you rush there? What evil have I done? Raising a stupid son like you." Concubine Rong cried while crying. , while scolding him.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, I will definitely come back safely. When I come back, I will take the princess."
Concubine Rong was already crying profusely. While wiping her tears, she said:
"Then you have to live to take it. If you can come back safely, you said you would marry the princess."
"Well, I promised my mother and concubine that I will get the princess when I come back, so my mother and concubine don't have to worry about my son and I."
Concubine Rong wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said.
"Okay, Hao'er keeps his word."
"When did my son, my son, break his promise to his mother and concubine?"
"That's not true."
While Concubine Rong was crying, she ordered Aunt Liang beside her:
"Mother Liang, go to my palace to get our Rong family's 'Jinxuan Pills' and bring a few more pills."
"Yes."
Aunt Liang took the order and quickly took out three Jinxuan Pills and handed them to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Rong handed the three small boxes to Murong Hao and said warmly:
"Hao'er, you have always had your own ideas since you were a child. Since you have chosen to protect the people, your mother and concubine will naturally support you. These three Jinxuan pills are the best life-saving medicine for our Rong family. If you accidentally get smallpox , it can save your life, take it.
No matter what, don't tire yourself, remember that you still have your father, emperor, mother and concubine waiting for your triumphant return in the capital city. "
After saying that, Concubine Rong shed a few lines of tears. She only had a son, and he was so good, but after all, she was not willing to let him take risks.
She turned her head, no longer looking at him, and said cruelly:
"Let's go and come back safely."
Murong Hao took three Jinxuan Pills, looked at his mother and concubine one last time, and left without looking back.
He left the palace gate, hurriedly rode out of the city, and returned to the East Royal Forest Army barracks.
Returning to the military camp, he called Rong Zifan and said seriously:
"You mobilize 10,000 soldiers for me tonight, and tomorrow I will take these soldiers to Jinwei City."
Rong Zifan also said seriously at this time:
"Yes, the assembly will be completed tonight. Don't worry, Your Highness."
"Go down and deliver dinner to me. I will return to the city after dinner tonight."
Rong Zifan looked at Murong Hao, who had a sad face and said:
"Cousin, are you going to Jinwei City for your cousin?"
"Well, I don't want anything to happen to her."
"Is it worth it? It's smallpox. Everyone talks about it and it's smallpox."
"She is worthy. She has saved my life twice. If she wants my life, I am willing to give it to her."
"Your mother-in-law must be very reluctant to let go."
"I just went to see my mother-in-law. She burst into tears. I am unfilial."
"Cousin, you must come back safely. I will guard the Eastern Royal Forest Army for you."
"Well, I'll help you."
After saying that, the dinner had been passed on, and Rong Zifan accompanied him to have a farewell dinner.
