Chapter 670: Milk Tea = Brother-in-law
The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step. Guo Jia was obviously not so easy to come out of the emotional injury, so he could only slowly resolve it. Today's main goal is to solve Zhao Yun's problem. Therefore, Yuan Chang mentioned a few words a little, and then did not continue to say more.
"Luo'er, you accompany Yu'er to the second floor to sit down first, and then start the table when the people are almost there. ”
Liu Xi, as the hostess, should have been her to entertain the female dependents, but now that she is pregnant, this kind of thing naturally can't let her come forward, so let Zhen Jiang replace her. Yuan often accompanied Guo Jia to drink tea, and the personalities of the two belonged to the free and uninhibited type, so they could talk about any topic, but they didn't look dull, and after a while, others also came one after another.
"Hahaha, virtuous nephew, the old man is here, why don't you serve the tea soon!"
With a hearty laugh, Cai Yong walked into the hall with his son and two daughters. Cai Yong threw himself under Yuan Chang, so he naturally brought all his family members with him. Cai Yong's son Cai Kang, whose name is benevolent, may have been taught stupidly by Cai Yong's education methods, and he is full of words, and he doesn't understand human feelings at all, and he didn't say much when he saw Yuan Chang just bowing. In this regard, Cai Yong has no choice but to be helpless, he only hopes that with his affection, his son can survive safely and soundly. In history, Cai Yong was killed by Wang Yun, and it did not harm his family, and later Cai Yong's grandson inherited the title of Marquis of Guannei, which can be regarded as leaving Cai Yong's bloodline. As for Cai Yan, she glanced at Yuan Chang and didn't say anything, looking at her expression, she seemed to be angry. But Cai Yong's youngest daughter, Cai Zhenji, did not have the slightest sense of strangeness, and pestered Yuan Chang when she came up.
"Sister... Lord, people want to drink milk tea. Cai Zhenji wanted to shout her brother-in-law, but under Cai Yan's substantive-like gaze, she could only lose in the end and said reluctantly. But I was secretly annoyed in my heart, obviously I was my brother-in-law, and I didn't let people shout, I don't know who said in the middle of the night and shouted my brother-in-law's name, hum, people must tell my brother-in-law secretly.
"Okay, Zhenji likes it, I'll have someone bring it to you. ”
Yuan Chang hugged Cai Zhenji and said with a look of love. Actually, speaking of Cai Zhenji's fate is not too bad, compared to Cai Yan, who has a bumpy fate, it may be considered good, the only regret is that Cai Zhenji died early, about forty or so, but in ancient times, this age was considered a high life.
Historically, Cai Zhenji's husband is the Shangdang Taishou Yang, and the Yang family is a famous family, and within ten generations of Yangji, they all have official positions of more than 2,000 stones, and they are all known for being honest and virtuous. Cai Zhenji and Yang Ji have a son and a daughter, which can be described as a harmonious family and a blessed descendant.
Let's talk about Cai Zhenji's son Yanghu first, when Emperor Cao Rong of Wei Ming died, and Cao Fang, the king of Qi who succeeded to the throne, was only eight years old. The general Cao Shuang and the imperial lieutenant Sima Yi were ordered to assist the government, and the struggle between the two groups became increasingly intense. In the early years, the Cao Shuang Group had a clear advantage in the struggle. Cao Shuang squeezed Sima Yi out of the idle position of the Taifu, and put the power of commanding the forbidden army and controlling the cardinal positions into the hands of his brothers and henchmen, thus controlling the real power of the imperial court. Sima Yi implemented a trick of obscurity, pretending to be sick, but secretly stepped up arrangements and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. Although Yanghu is young, he is very politically minded. He judged that Cao Shuang would not be Sima Yi's opponent after all. Later, Yanghu and Wang Shen were conscripted by Cao Shuang together, and Wang Shen persuaded Yanghu to take office, and Yanghu said: "It is not easy to risk your life to serve others." Wang Shen answered the call alone. Due to the relationship between the family, Yanghu is basically free from the struggle between the two groups.
In the first ten years, Sima Yi launched the Gaopingling Rebellion, and killed Cao Shuang, seizing military and political power. After the coup, Sima Yi cut off the Cao Shuang group in a big way, and many people related to Cao Shuang were implicated. Yanghu's father-in-law, Xiahou Ba, surrendered to Shu Han in order to escape the killing. Wang Shen was also dismissed because he was Cao Shuang's former official, so he said to Yanghu: "I often remember what you said before. Yanghu comforted him and said, "I didn't expect Cao Shuang to have such an end at that time. He was like that, both prescient and unwilling to boast. In this disaster, Yanghu was not punished for his father-in-law's surrender to Shu because of his in-law relationship with Sima's family. Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu, and his relatives were afraid of being implicated, so most of them cut off relations with their families. Soon after, Yanghu's mother and eldest brother Yangfa died one after another. Yanghu has been mourning for more than ten years, during which he has regarded himself as a Taoist, dignified and simple, just like a Confucian.
And the in-law relationship between Yanghu and the Sima family is that his sister Yanghuiyu is Sima Shi's second wife, and it is because of this relationship that Yanghu is spared a difficulty.
After Sima Shi died of illness, Sima Zhao was in power and became a general, and Yanghu has been on the rise since then, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and then was named the general of the chariot cavalry, mainly against the forces of Eastern Wu. In the battle with Soochow, Yanghu and Lu Xun's son Lu Kang developed a friendship and cherished each other. However, Yanghu did not abolish the public for personal reasons, and still maintained vigilance against Soochow.
At that time, Yanghu realized that although the national strength of Wu had declined, it still had a certain strength, especially in Jingzhou, there were still outstanding generals like Lu Kang presiding over the military, and it was not appropriate to rush the war between Ping Wu and Wu. Therefore, he adopted a two-sided strategy of military encroachment and advocating Xinyi in order to accumulate strength, disintegrate the other side, and find a suitable time to destroy Wu. In view of the historical experience of Meng Xianzi running a military prison and the Zheng people fearing it, and Yan building a weak city in Dongyang and Laizi surrendering, Yanghu marched forward with his troops, occupied a strategic place east of Jingzhou, and established five cities successively. And relying on this, occupy fertile land and seize the wealth of the Wu people. As a result, the west of Shicheng was occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and the Wu people came to surrender in an endless stream. Yanghu then implemented the plan of tenderness and attacking the heart. On the border of Jingzhou, Yanghu paid attention to the people and army of Wu, and every time he fought with the Wu people, Yanghu agreed with the other party in advance on the time of the battle, and never carried out surprise attacks. For the generals who advocated a sneak attack, Yanghu drunk them with wine and forbade them to speak again. Some subordinates caught the children of two generals of the Wu army at the border. When Yang Hu found out, he immediately ordered the child to be returned. Later, Wu generals Xia Shen and Shao Jie came to surrender, and the father of the two teenagers also led his subordinates to surrender. Wu attacked Chen Shang and Pan Jing, and Yanghu chased and killed the two, and then rewarded them for their death and funeral. The children of the two families came to welcome the funeral, and Yanghu returned it with gifts. Wu invaded Deng Xiang in Xiakou, and Yanghu offered a reward to capture him alive, and after he was captured, he was released back. Deng Xiang was grateful and led his subordinates to surrender. Yanghu's troops marched past the border of Wu and harvested rice from the fields to replenish the army's rations, but each time they had to pay back with silk according to the amount they harvested. When hunting, Yanghu restrained his subordinates and did not cross the border line. If any beast was injured by the people of Wu and then obtained by the Jin soldiers, he would return it to the other party. Yanghu's practices made Wu people happy and convinced, and they respected him very much, and did not call him by his name, but only called him "Yang Gong".
Lu Kang was very clear about these practices of Yanghu, so he often warned the soldiers: "Yanghu is dedicated to touching people with virtue, if we only use violence to invade, then we will be conquered without a fight." We only keep the borders, and don't fight for small profits. Therefore, for a long time, the Jingzhou border between Jin and Wu was at peace. Yanghu and Lu Kang confronted each other, and there were often envoys from both sides to return. Lu Kang praised Yanghu's measure of virtue, "Although Le Yi and Zhuge Kongming can't pass." Once Lu Kang was sick and asked Yanghu for medicine, Yanghu immediately sent someone to send the medicine over, and said: "This is the medicine I prepared by myself recently, I haven't taken it yet, I heard that you are sick, so I will give it to you first." General Wu was afraid that there was fraud in it, so he persuaded Lu Kang not to accept it, but Lu Kang did not doubt it, and said: "How can Yanghu use poison to harm people?" At that time, people said that this may be the Spring and Autumn Period when Hua Yuan and Zi reappeared. When Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, heard what Lu Kang was doing at the border, he didn't understand it very much, so he sent someone to reprimand him. Lu Kang replied: "Between a township and a town, we can't help but stress faith and righteousness, let alone a big country? If I don't talk about faith and righteousness, it is precisely the virtue of Yanghu that has been propagated and there is no harm to him." Sun Hao was speechless.
It can be seen that the love between Yanghu and Lu Kang is deep, but the moon is cloudy and sunny, and no one or anything can be perfect.
Yanghu is on the border, and his virtue is famous, but in the court, he is slandered every time. He is upright and loyal, jealous and hateful, and has no selfish thoughts, so he is quite hated by Xun Xun, Feng Zhen and others. Wang Yan was his cousin, and he once came to see him to talk about things, and his words were gorgeous and eloquent. Yanghu was very unimpressed, and Wang Yan brushed his clothes away. Yanghu said to the guests: "Wang Yifu is in a big position with a great reputation, but he is corrupt and vulgar, and this person must also be this person." In the Battle of Xiling, Yanghu had to behead Wang Rong according to military law. Therefore, Wang Rong and Wang Yan resented him and often attacked him in their speech.
After seven years of training and various material preparations, the strength of the Jin army on the Jingzhou border far exceeded that of the Wu army, and two years ago, the commander of the Wu army, Lu Kang, died of illness, and all kinds of contradictions in the territory of Wu were increasingly intensified because of the high-pressure rule of Sun Hao, the lord of Wu. This shows that the conditions and timing are ripe for Jin to destroy Wu. Yanghu lost no time in asking for Wu, and said: "The first emperor conformed to the will of heaven and the people, Xiping Bashu, Nanhe Sun Wu, and the people at home were able to recuperate and recuperate, and the people's hearts were happy. And Wu reneged on the contract, so that the border was war, although the country's morale is determined by heaven, and the merit must rely on man, if the Eastern Wu is not destroyed, the soldiers and the people will not have a peaceful day. Accomplishing the great cause of reunification is also a measure to achieve the rule of inaction by the great emperor. Yaova Danshui and Shun Zheng Sanmiao are all aimed at making the unai peaceful, stopping the rebellion, and the people are harmonious. When Shu was leveled, people all over the world thought that Wu should be destroyed together, and it has been thirteen years since Shu was destroyed, which is a cycle, and the day of destroying Wu should be today.
Song Shu was affirmed by Sima Yan, but was opposed by other ministers in the court, and the attitudes of the powerful ministers Jia Chong, Xun Miao, Feng Zhen and others were particularly fierce. They proposed that the Xianbei in the northwest region was undecided and should not fight on two fronts. Only a few people such as Du Zhi Shangshu Du Pre and Zhongshu Ling Zhang Hua agreed. coincided with the repeated defeats of the Jin army in Qin and Liang, and Yang Hu went to the table again: "If Eastern Wu is pacified, the Hu people will naturally be stable, and the great cause of destroying Wu should only be completed quickly." But it was still opposed by most people, and Yang Hu sighed: "There are always seven or eight out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, and some people should continue to make judgments and should not take it, how can they not make people of insight regret in the future!"
Subsequently, Yanghu was sick and returned to the dynasty, because of the death of his sister Yang Huiyu, Yanghu's condition worsened, and before his death, he recommended Du Pre to replace his position, and Du Pre did not live up to Yanghu's attention, two years after Yanghu's death, Du Pre destroyed Wu in one fell swoop according to Yanghu's deployment. After Yanghu's death, he was posthumously named Taifu, and his life can be described as extremely honorable.
And Cai Zhenji and Yang Ji's daughter, the fate is also not bad.
Yang Huiyu married Sima Shi and had no children, with Sima Shi's brother Sima Zhao's second son Sima You as his stepson, after Sima Shi's death, Sima You served Yang Huiyu very filial. Sima Yan ascended the throne by Chan, established the Western Jin Dynasty, pursued his uncle Sima Shi as Emperor Jing, respected Yang Huiyu as Empress Jing, and called the Empress Dowager Hongxun because she lived in Hongxun Palace.
It can be said that after Cai Zhenji married Yang Wei, her life can be regarded as a happy one. However, now that Cai Yong's fate has changed to Yuan Chang's command, what will be Cai Zhenji's fate, Yuan Chang is not sure. However, at least one thing is certain, he will never let Choi Jung-hee's fate be worse than in history.
When Yuan Chang asked people to bring milk tea up, Cai Zhenji drank a cup of milk tea beautifully, and naturally recognized and agreed with this brother-in-law in her heart, if Yuan Chang couldn't be her brother-in-law, where would she be able to drink such delicious milk tea in the future. Therefore, in order to be able to drink milk tea in the future, she has to let Yuan Chang become her brother-in-law. If Cai Yan knew that her sister had sold her like this because of a cup of milk tea, I don't know how she would feel.
"Cai Zhonglang, the lord knows that you are coming, and he has already prepared good tea, just waiting for Cai Zhonglang to arrive. Guo Jia on the side interjected in a timely manner, poured a cup of tea and put it away, looking complacent, which was also enviable.
"Fengxiao, how could the old man not know the personality of Yuan Chang's nephew. ”
In front of Guo Jia, Cai Yong did not pose as an elder, and talked eloquently as if he had forgotten his New Year's friend, and scolded with a smile: "Yuan Chang's nephew is not a delicate person, I'm afraid he won't think of taking out good tea to entertain the old man." If the old man expected it to be true, this tea must have been brought by you in Fengxiao, but is it?"
"Hahaha, Cai Zhonglang's discerning eyes!"
Guo Jia laughed, although he didn't say it directly, but he also acquiesced. Yuan Chang and Guo Jia's brothers intersected, Cai Yong called Yuan Chang his nephew, and he intersected with Guo Jia's peers, but this generation is a bit chaotic. However, everyone knows their own thing, but it is also said in the past.
"Uncle, Fengxiao's tea is enough, if it is not enough, I will take some treasures for you to taste. ”
One is his uncle, the other doesn't pay attention to etiquette, Yuan Chang can only smile helplessly in the face of the two, not only has no place to refute, but also has to be entertained with good tea and water, Yuan Chang feels that he is really hard enough.
"Okay, you Yuan Chang's nephew, since you have good tea, you can't serve it quickly, so you have to ask the old man to get it himself. ”
Cai Yan on the side saw that her father was so embarrassed, and immediately walked towards the second floor, and she felt unbearable if she looked at it any longer. As for Yuan Chang, hmph, if he wants to be Cai Yong's son-in-law, it is not too much to let him shed some blood.
