In the 48th round, the brothers are one south and one north

After listening to the words of the two sons, the old housekeeper Niu He hated and beat his chest, and said breathlessly, "Two sons, the reason why the old man came here to tell you about your life experience is because his family is too talkative, and he is even more afraid that the two ladies will be anxious and worry about the two of you." I think your father, the emperor and his old man are not thin to me, when he was the 6th prince, he was very close to me, and finally ascended the throne as the emperor, and I was even more gracious, more than 20 years I followed him down, never disliked me as a slave, knowing that I was in order to honor my parents and since the palace, into the palace, but also to me special preferential treatment, especially in times of crisis, let me recount the two mothers escaped from the imperial city, I worked hard in a foreign country to build a home for you, now we are also a big family, in order to be the two of you brothers one heart, revenge, now since you say so, My life is in vain, it is better to die in front of you, to thank the emperor for his hope for me, to the underground, I am asking the emperor for his old man's guilt. With that, he slammed into the table next to him.

The four brothers hurriedly stopped the old man, the eldest son and the second son exchanged a color, the second son said to the old man, "Old man, you are great to our Li family, we will remember it for a lifetime, since your old man said so, the two of us will also try our best to go back to Nantang to have a look, to see what the local situation is?

After listening to the words of the second son, Niu He, the old housekeeper, looked at the eldest son Li Deren with his eyes, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the old man's bones have been buried in loess to his neck, and now the second prince has already expressed his position, I don't know what His Highness thinks, do you still want to be your doctor?"

The eldest son, Li Deren, hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the old man, and then said slowly, "Engong, your old man is our Li family's dynasty, painstakingly and painstakingly, after thousands of dangers, to keep our two dragon veins, since the second brother is going to the Southern Tang Dynasty homeland to have a look, when he comes back, let's conspire again, how about it?

The old housekeeper Niu He was very excited, trembling and trembling to help the prince Li Deren up from the ground, and then beckoned several other people, knelt on the ground together, and bowed three times to Li Deren. From ancient times to the present, you have no jokes, since you said so, it is difficult to chase the horse in a word, and wait for the second son to return to the Southern Tang Dynasty, explore the truth and reality, and come back to us to conspire together, from today on, the ministers and others for the great cause of the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is to do the apprenticeship, as long as it is the prince's will, we will all resolutely implement it. ”

The crown prince Li Deren said to Lao Niuhe, "Old man, your old man will assign it to us, I have just entered the situation a little bit, and the situation is not very clear, so you give us a few assignments, we will do whatever you let us do, as long as it is helpful to the great cause of the restoration of the Southern Tang Dynasty, we also dare to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, please assign the task to the old man." ”

The old butler, Niu He, returned to the Taishi chair, twisted his beard and said to a few people, " The four of you are sworn brothers, in addition to me, the other three are courtiers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also practice medicine at present, so as to appease the people, network talents, as soon as possible to collect the Southern Tang Dynasty homeland of the civil and military generals, or their descendants, there is currently an old minister in front of our eyes, Lu family Lu old man, once your father's general, crotch in the palm of the knife, invincible, a Fang Tian painting halberd, invincible all over the world! For so many years, it is the old man who has supported his family business, we already have seven or eight hundred people here, and there are more than a dozen generals, this old general is our own people. ”

The crown prince Li Deren was taken aback, and asked Niu He in a low voice, "What is General Lu's official position in my court?"

The old housekeeper Niu He, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiyu, the old general Lu is in the hands of your father, the deputy head of the Royal Forest Army, thinking that when we escaped from Jinling City, it was this old general who changed into the clothes of the common people and escorted us here, all our gold and silver treasures and grain and grass were smuggled by him with people, and secretly escorted us to ensure our safety." After arriving here, we settled in Niuquan Village, General Lu Lao settled in Lujiazhuang, and since then he has retired to the rivers and lakes, based on the 150 people he brought from the Southern Tang Dynasty, he has been training Lu family guns, and now the team has expanded to more than 1,000 good people, the profits we get from trading, and half of the grain we get from farming are used in this team, and now it can be said that there are good ice crystals, thousands of horses, all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and cold weapons, it should be everything, as long as His Royal Highness the Prince gives a good order, these elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty will follow the prince and fight back to their hometown。 ”

The crown prince Li Deren smiled and nodded, and then said to Lao Niuhe, "Old man, how much silver taels does our family pay in taxes every year, and how much grain can we harvest every year?"

Lao Niu hurriedly bowed and saluted, and reported respectfully, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have bought a total of more than 20 villages here, more than 100,000 acres of land, and all kinds of trading shops earn 2.4 million taels of silver every year, 5 million taels of grain, and 20 million taels of forage, which is enough for the expenses of 20,000 troops for two years. ”

Hearing the old housekeeper report these figures, the crown prince Li Deren and the second son Li Wusheng were really surprised.

The crown prince Li Deren said to everyone, "Brothers, you two will help the old man to rest somewhere else first, and I will discuss it with the second son, Li Wusheng, and then we will discuss it together." ”

The golden knife general Niu Xing, the little monk Wang Zhentai, and the two of them supported the old housekeeper Niu He, went out of the east wing and rested.

The second son, Li Wusheng, was a little uncontrollable, "Big brother, I said that just now, but it was all to appease the old man, what do you think?"

The crown prince Li Deren said to the second son, "Second brother, this matter seems to be just the old housekeeper himself planning, the two mothers may not know anything, the old man has carefully planned for 20 years, laying a good foundation for us, I don't know that our family will have all kinds of wealth, and I don't know that Lujiazhuang is actually the barracks where the elite soldiers and strong generals who escorted us here, it seems that the old man Lu and the old housekeeper are very strict, now the two of us are talking about what to do, right?" You are from a martial arts background, you have not read much of the war books, you have also traveled to the north and south of the Great River for more than a year, and you are relatively clear about the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty and Daliao, what do you think?"

Li Wusheng, the second son, said, "Big brother, the Great Song Dynasty has been established for twenty or thirty years, and now it happens to be the rule of Emperor Taizong, it should be said that it is a policy of rest and recuperation. Not to mention that the court of the Great Song Dynasty cannot let us go, even the common people we can't mobilize, after five dynasties and ten countries, more than 100 years of war, it is easy for the world to be unified into the Great Song Dynasty, if we risk the disapproval of the world at this time, we may become sinners through the ages, not only the common people have lost their old feelings for our Southern Tang Dynasty, but the two of us may also be spurned by history. Now, we should conform to the will of the people, recuperate, reproduce our descendants, and gradually restore the vitality of our Li family, which is the long-term solution. Big brother, what the hell do you think?"

The crown prince Li Deren stepped forward and grabbed his brother's hand and said, "Second brother, I think you have really grown up, so please invite the two brothers back now, and the four of us will discuss it together, and finally come up with a rule, determine our next move, and listen to what the two brothers think?"

The second son, Li Wusheng, listened to my eldest brother's words, and muttered a little in his heart, did the eldest brother really want to restore the old country of the Southern Tang Dynasty with such an ambiguous idea?

After a while, Li Wusheng accompanied his two brothers and returned to the east wing.

The crown prince Li Deren first saluted the two elder brothers, and then said slowly, "Two elder brothers, our two brothers and two elder brothers are a righteous Jinlan with his head on the ground, although he was not born to the same parents, but he is like a brother. The life experience of the two of us, everyone already knows, we are the fugitives of the Great Song Dynasty, the orphans of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to put it mildly, we are wanted criminals at any time, since the two elder brothers have become brothers with us, the words that the old man said just now, the preparations made, and our family background, the two of you are also clear, the eldest brother Golden Knife General Niu Xing, went south and north, walked the rivers and lakes, and passed through a wide range of things, and he also knew the situation in the north well. The second brother Wang Zhentai, together with me, was adopted by Gao Tang's mother, and has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the north for so many years. Faced with this situation, I don't know what the two brothers have to say. ”

Golden Sword General Niu Xing, "Two brothers, what my old father said just now is his personal feelings, and it is also his explanation to the emperor Long live the emperor, how to do it? If you want to ask for my opinion, I said that we shouldn't listen to the old man, now that the Great Song Dynasty is in its heyday, isn't it just a moth to a fire if we hit a stone with an egg like this?"

Second brother Wang Zhentai, "The eldest brother is right, although I have learned the war book and war strategy in the early stage, but now I am participating in Zen and worshiping the Buddha, how much disaster has been caused to the common people by hundreds of years of war? If we rebel at this time and restore the old country of the Southern Tang Dynasty, not only will we fail to achieve our goal, but we will also become sinners in history, but we are only in our own opinion, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the heart of enriching the country, we will also follow closely, and will go to the soup to pave the way for the two brothers." ”

Li Deren smiled and said, "Two elder brothers, and the second brother Li Wusheng, the four of us all want to go together, the old man's heart is good, because he accepted the trust of the previous dynasty, but if we don't judge the situation, we will inevitably fail, now I am already a doctor, after three years, walking the streets and alleys, looking for medical consultations, I have seen the lives of the people with my own eyes, everyone is in dire straits, people are determined, at this time do not let the people recuperate, is not the sinner of history?" Just now, the second brother Li Wusheng also said the same thing, why should we risk the world's condemnation? But the old man's mood cannot be ignored, and we must also do something to reassure him according to the old man's arrangement. ”

The second son, Li Wusheng, asked, "Isn't that a secret from the world?

Li Deren said to the three people, "The four of us act separately, the second brother Li Wusheng, and the second brother Wang Zhentai, the two of you, a warrior and a monk, can cooperate with each other, go south to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, visit our hometown of the Southern Tang Dynasty to visit the people, and come back to explain to the old man." Big brother Golden Sword General Niu Xing, you can take our General Yue in the Loess Slope and General Lu's men and horses, just train the dead, protect our family and the peace of the countryside, and resolutely not let the bandits scourge and keep this little bit of our family foundation, and stay in the future, if one day the world is in chaos, this is our foundation, if our children and grandchildren have the ideal of revenge, and then let them take revenge, what do you think?"

Exactly: the prince judged the situation, and everyone showed their abilities.

The crown prince Li Deren headed north and returned home to visit his two mothers. The second son, Li Wusheng, and the second brother, Wang Zhentai, went together and infiltrated the Great Song Dynasty. I don't know what the two ladies thought after the people in the prince returned home?
