Tie Kui Fanwai (123)

In June, the Tongcheng war broke out again.

Ning Hai was watching the battle report that day, when suddenly a familiar pain came from his body: "A Shao, A Shao..." When his eyes went dark, he passed out.

Ashao opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Ning Hai fainted; he couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly called the military doctor.

The military doctor tried to wake Ning Hai up.

Ning Hai was in so much pain that he didn't have the strength to speak: "I called Vice-Future Feng." Every time the old injury recurred, the pain was so painful that I wanted to die. But slowly, it lasted longer and longer.

Feng Zhiao was entrusted with all the affairs of the general, and Ning Hai was sent back home.

Seeing Ning Hai whose face was deformed by the pain, Xiao was so sad that he shed tears. She didn't trust military doctors, so she sent someone to invite the doctor who often treated Ning Hai.

After diagnosing the pulse, the doctor said to Xiao: "Madam, uncle's condition is serious again. I'll prescribe two medicines for the general first, and take it to see the effect."

I took too many painkillers and the effect was not very good. After taking the medicine, Ning Hai was still curled up in pain.

The doctor persuaded: "Ma'am, the doctor in the capital is very skilled in medicine, and the general may be able to see it when he returns to the capital." Even if the root cannot be eradicated, there is no need to suffer like this.

Ning Hai's old injury recurred this time, and it was more serious than last time. It was not until five days later that the pain stopped.

Xiao said: "Master, the doctor has said that the doctor in the capital is good, and let you go back to Beijing to see a doctor. Master, even if I beg you, let's go back, shall we?"

Ning Hai didn't answer, just said: "You help me up."

Xiao Shi refused to let him go, but Ning Hai could only help him up. As a result, Ning Hai's legs were weak, and his whole body was pressed against Xiao's body.

Xiao was caught off guard, and both husband and wife fell to the ground. Xiao wanted to help Ning Hai up, but he couldn't.

While crying, Xiao took Ning Hai's arm: "Master, just listen to me once, let's go back to Beijing, shall we? I heard that British Duke's old injury relapsed very seriously at the beginning, but after returning to Beijing, he became very ill. It's getting better."

Ning Hai looked a little sad: "Let me think about it."

Calling Yu Mei in, Xiao Shi helped Ning Hai up with her.

Lying in bed for half a month,

He just recovered. After the injury relapsed this time, Ning Hai obviously felt that his body was worse than before.

After recovering, Ning Hai returned to the barracks. Hearing the concerned greeting from his subordinates, Ning Hai felt very uncomfortable.

Ning Hai didn't come back that day, Xiao Shi was so anxious that he almost ran to the barracks to find someone. Fortunately, at noon the next day, Ning Hai came back.

Xiao Shi was angry and annoyed: "Master, how can you not cherish your body so much? With your current body, how can you stay up late?"

After Ning Hai sat down, he said softly, "I've already written a note to retire, and I'll send someone to the capital in the morning."

Xiao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then turned to surprise: "Master, have you finally figured it out?"

"I can't even think about it. My current body can no longer afford this heavy responsibility." No matter how reluctant I am, I can't joke about the lives of the 200,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people in Tongcheng. Furthermore, it is impossible for the emperor to allow him to stay in this position.

Xiao said: "My lord, you should stay at home to take care of your health for the next few days. I will leave matters in the army to Feng Shizi and the others to deal with."

Ning Hai shook his head and said, "This won't work. I'm still the chief general of Tongcheng. Before the successor arrives, I must do my job well."

Hearing this, Xiao was a little surprised: "My lord, isn't Feng Shizi who will succeed you?" She had always thought that Feng Zhiao would succeed Ning Hai.

"It might be him, or it might not be him. As for who it is, we'll find out in two months." He felt that it wasn't Feng Zhiao who took his place. Firstly, Feng Zhiao is too young, and secondly, his qualifications are not enough.

Xiao Shi didn't care who took over Ning Hai's position. Anyway, her Ah Zhan is not here, so it doesn't matter to her whoever becomes the general.

Five days later, Ning Hai's retirement record came into Qi Hao's hands.

After reading the excerpt, Qi Hao nodded slightly. He already knew that Ning Hai's old injury had recurred and he was recuperating at home. Now that the border town is fighting, even if Ning Hai doesn't retire, he won't let him stay in this position anymore. However, Ning Hai was able to take the initiative to submit a paper to retire from his old age, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Ning Zhande summoned him into the imperial study room, knelt on the ground and bowed: "I pay homage to the emperor."

Qi Hao handed Ning Zhan the notebook of Ning Hai's retirement, and said, "Look at it!"

Ning Zhan was a little suspicious, but after reading the handwriting on the booklet, he understood it.

After reading it, Ning Zhan was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, has my father relapsed from his old injury?" And it must be more serious, otherwise his father would not have signed up and retired.

Qihao nodded and said: "You don't have to worry, I will ask the imperial doctor to treat him properly when he comes back."

Ning Zhan was very worried: "Your Majesty, I want to go to Tongcheng to pick up the two elders."

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "There's no rush on this matter. It won't be too late for you to pick them up when Uncle sets a date to return to Beijing." Although the booklet was accepted, Ning Hai won't be able to come back within three to five months.

No matter how anxious he was, Ning Zhan didn't dare to object when Ke Qihao spoke.

Back home, Ning Zhan immediately collected a large bag of nourishing herbs from home and sent someone to Tongcheng.

Zeng Chenfu didn't even need to ask, just looking at what Ning Zhan had done, he could guess what was going on: "Father's old injury has recurred?" As he got older, the root causes of his previous illnesses were revealed.

Ning Zhan nodded and said, "Father took almost half a month to heal this time, and Mother didn't even mention a single word of this in her letter."

"Mother is afraid that you will be worried, so I dare not tell you." After finishing speaking, Zeng Chenfu said, "Husband, let your father sue for old age! There is a shortage of doctors and medicines in Tongcheng, and even if old injuries recur, you can't find a good doctor." .”

Ning Zhan heaved a sigh of relief: "Father has already submitted the paper to sue the old man, and the emperor has also agreed." He just didn't know who would take over.

"That's good, that's good." It's also good for the two elders to return to Beijing, so as not to worry about her husband, and she will also worry about it.

Zeng Chenfu thought for a while and asked, "Should I tell Second Sister about this? Husband, if I don't tell Second Sister, I'm afraid she will be angry." After all, this is not a trivial matter.

Ning Zhan smiled and said, "Tell her! Parents will be back by the end of the year at the latest. I think Second Sister will be very happy to know." Even he was also very happy.

On the same day, Zeng Chenfu posted a message to the Meng Mansion. The next day, she went to Meng's house.

As soon as they entered the yard, they heard Ruhui scolding Shiyin and Tuan Geer.

Shi Yin said unconvinced: "Mother, Brother Tuan plucked the fur ball, why punish me?"

Ruhui said: "Just because you hit Brother Tuan, I should punish you. You are the eldest sister, and you beat your younger brother. You don't think you look like a big sister."

Her siblings are all in love with each other, her two children are like enemies, they are not fighting or fighting. Every time, it makes Ruhui very angry.

Shiyin yelled unhappily: "I don't want to be a big sister, who told you to give birth to me first." To be a big sister, you have to give way to your younger brother, what's the point.

Zeng Chenfu burst out laughing upon hearing this. Shiyin has a temperament like Ruhui, very aggressive.

Knowing that Zeng Chenfu was here, Ru Hui said to Shi Yin and Tuan Geer: "Next time you guys want to fight again, I will give away both the fur ball and the pony." The fur ball is Shi Yin's favorite , the little pony is Tuan Geer's baby bump.

Neither of them dared to say anything.

After Zeng Chenfu entered the room, Brother Tuan looked at her eagerly and asked, "Auntie, last time uncle said that he would take me to the racecourse for horseback riding when he was free. Auntie, when will uncle be free?" The horse was given to him by Ning Zhan. But since he was still young, he had been addicted to his eyes, and he didn't dare to let him ride at all.

Not to be outdone, Shi Yin hurriedly said: "Uncle, last time Uncle said that he would take me outside to play when he was resting."

Because she is the first girl in the family, Shi Yin is very popular with everyone.

Zeng Chenfu smiled and said, "Your uncle has been very busy recently, and it will take some time before he can take you out to play."

The siblings were very disappointed.

Ruhui said: "Your uncle is also on duty, how can he always play with you. Alright, go back to your room."

After the two children left, Ruhui asked, "Sister and brother, what's the matter?" Zeng Chenfu wanted to be a housekeeper, and also had to take care of the two children, so she wouldn't come if there was nothing to do.

Zeng Chenfu looked at her nervous face, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing. Dad has retired from office, and my husband asked me to come and talk to you."

Ruhui was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Zeng Chenfu nodded, and before Ruhui could ask her, she took the initiative to say: "Father's old injury relapsed a while ago, and it took half a month to heal. Second sister, don't worry, we will ask the doctor to take care of him when he comes back." Body."

Ruhui hummed: "I heard that soaking in hot springs is good for your health, let dad go to the hot springs to soak in hot springs in winter."

Zeng Chenfu was also busy with a lot of things, so she went back after talking.

Thinking that everyone is coming back, Ruhui is not so worried. But Ruhui wanted to see if he could find some folk remedies, which might be able to cure his father's injuries. For this reason, Ruhui also got busy!

That night, Meng Ranxi went back to Ruhui and said, "Father has passed away, do you know about this?"

Ruhui nodded and said, "I know! My younger siblings came to tell me about this on purpose this morning. Dad is getting old and has suffered from injuries all over his body. He should have retired a long time ago."

Seeing that Meng Ranxi's attitude was wrong, Ruhui asked, "What's wrong? But what's the problem?"

"Do you know who is taking over from father-in-law?"

Ruhui didn't care about this matter, but seeing that his expression was wrong, she still asked, "Who is it?"

Meng Ranxi smiled bitterly and said, "It's the Eldest Princess. I heard that there was a lot of quarrel in the court over this matter, but the Emperor still defied all opinions and appointed the Eldest Princess as the Chief General of Tongcheng."

Ruhui was a little surprised, but after thinking about it deeply, she felt that it was not surprising: "The eldest princess has made great achievements in the wars in the north and south these years. With her qualifications and ability, she is qualified for this position." The eldest princess In the past few years as the general soldier in Guizhou, he has done very well.

It's not that Meng Ranxi thinks that Zao Zao is not qualified for this position, he just has some feelings: "The eldest princess does not give way to a man, it makes me feel ashamed to be a man!"

Ruhui smiled and said: "Not all women can be so powerful, the eldest princess is unique."
