Xu Chong also knew this, but he took a deep breath, still feeling anxious and unwilling: "All my planning was in vain, and in the end it was all in vain!"
This feeling is so indescribable.
Xu Shun glanced at him coldly: "Whatever happens, the most important thing at hand is another matter. Don't cause me any more trouble, or I won't forgive you!"
He had spent so much effort to facilitate Hu Jianbang's return to Beijing, so how could he have the time to waste on these little twelves? Only a woman, Qi Yunxi, would think about this.
Xu Chong lowered his head hastily, knowing that his father was angry, and smiled: "Yes, son, I dare not."
Xu Shun nodded, stood up and told his men to get dressed, while asking, "Have they arrived in the capital?"
"We're here." Xu Chong personally went to the side and got the belt for him, and handed it to the maid, saying softly, "The Yulin Guards who were escorting Hu Jianbang have taken him to the posthouse, and are waiting for the palace's order..."
Xu Shun did not say anything else, but said: "Let your wife prepare. Now that the Su and Wang families are getting married again, this is the biggest happy event in the capital recently. It is worth congratulating in any way. Send a gift, don't be rude."
Precisely because Xu Huixian once offended Su Yao, the Xu family should make a gesture.
Xu Chong hurriedly agreed, and after sending his father to the palace to take over the night shift, he turned around and told Qi about the matter.
Qi was worried, and only came to her senses after her husband called her several times. She covered her aching belly and looked up at him and asked, "So how will this matter be handled?"
Xu Chong himself didn't know either, and sighed: "I don't know yet, but I've been investigating for so long, it should be a matter of one or two days."
There were still many things that were unclear before, but now the Qiao family has come forward, and the whole capital is now searching for that gang of people. If they are found, things will become even more troublesome.
When Xu Shun entered the palace, he happened to meet Song Xiangyu's carriage. Song Xiangyu got off the carriage. The two met, greeted each other, and entered the palace together.
After a few pleasantries, Xu Shun smiled and joked, "Prince said before that he wanted to retire and become a farmer, but now he can't do it."
Song Xiangyu's face didn't look good when he mentioned this. He shook his head at Xu Shun and said, "Hey, to be honest, when I went back home... so many things happened, my mind was confused. Now there are still a lot of things to do. My son is missing, and I don't know where to find him..."
Seeing that he had indeed lost a lot of weight during this time, Xu Shun knew that he was pretending, but he still pretended to sigh a few words, saying things like "It was a huge feat and he had done a great service to the country by accident." The two of them talked for a long time and then went to the imperial study, where they waited in the side hall to be summoned.
The first person the Emperor Yuanfeng met was Xu Shun. After dealing with the memorials that had been submitted recently from various places, he asked Xu Shun, "There is still no news from Yunnan? How long has it been?"
Ever since Duke Chengguo Xu Yonghong returned to Beijing after winning a battle, but met with disaster and was killed in the capital, the battle in Yunnan was handed over to Cao Chunwang, the former Governor-General of Yunnan.
Some time ago, Cao Chunwang submitted a memorial saying that the rebels had been wiped out, but the local natives were still unruly. A large number of them fled to the mountains and encountered some rebellion. He requested the court to send more troops.
After some discussion, the cabinet decided to transfer more than 10,000 people from Guizhou. Logically speaking, after fighting for so long, there should be some news from Cao Chunwang.
Xu Shun also frowned and expressed his concern: "Your Majesty, I still haven't received any news. From the Imperial Inspector to the Governor of Yunnan, they all said that the war is still going on..."
Emperor Yuanfeng snorted, "We are fighting, we are fighting. We said we were fighting a few years ago. We fight every year, but we cannot completely eradicate the rebellion. If this continues, when will Yunnan be completely under our control? What about Annan?"
He urged Xu Shun: "Pass the order and ask Cao Chunwang to speed up the work. If he really can't do it, I will find someone else to do it! In the great Zhou Dynasty, can't we find a more capable general than Xu Yonghong?! It's a joke!"
Xu Shun responded quickly.
Emperor Yuanfeng summoned Song Xiangyu again.
When cousins meet, the atmosphere is much more relaxed. As soon as Emperor Yuanfeng saw Song Xiangyu, he felt a little complicated.
The two of them have been friends since childhood. When they fought in the war, his uncle had always been his right-hand man, and his uncle's youngest son Song Xiangyu had followed him all the way. But now, his grandson is Song Xiangyu's son. You can tell me, the relationship here is complicated.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
But fortunately, he is still the one who gets the advantage.
Emperor Yuanfeng felt better after thinking this, and looked at him subtly: "You have lost a lot of weight."
Song Xiangyu was not in a good mood. Emperor Yuanfeng first met with Xu Shun and dealt with the memorials submitted recently from various places. Then he asked Xu Shun, "Still no news from Yunnan? How long has it been?"

Emperor Yuanfeng summoned Song Xiangyu again. Xu Shun also frowned and expressed his concern: "Your Majesty, I still haven't received any news. From the imperial censor to the governor of Yunnan, they all said that the war is still going on..."
Emperor Yuanfeng snorted, "We are fighting, we are fighting. We said we were fighting a few years ago. We fight every year, but we cannot completely eradicate the rebellion. If this continues, when will Yunnan be completely under our control? What about Annan?"
