The eleventh year of Tianshun, March. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ancients said: "Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March." "Actually, it's not the ancient city of Yangzhou, it's the same for the whole city in the south - March is the time when the flowers bloom in spring.

The villagers of Taoyuan Village can now breathe a sigh of relief after plowing their fields throughout February. At this time, it was the afternoon, and many villagers and peasant women were idle, gathering in the shade under the big trees on the edge of the fields to chatter -- since the Chu State occupied the southern country 11 years ago, Emperor Jiayuan treated the people of the south and Chu equally, and compared with the absurdity of Emperor Cheng of the southern country, Emperor Jiayuan was generous and benevolent, and most of the useful talents of the southern country were reappointed by Emperor Jiayuan, so that the territory of the original southern country was completely new, and the people also loved Emperor Jiayuan very much.

A girl in red rode by slowly on a horse at this moment, and the peasant women greeted her with a smile: "The second lady is back." The girl known as the second lady also smiled and said, "Yes, Master allowed me to go home for ten days of vacation." A middle-aged woman wearing a floral hexagram smiled and said: "Coincidentally, there were guests at your house yesterday, don't say, General Tang's prestige is still impressive even if he hasn't been on the battlefield for eleven years." ”

When the girl in red heard this, her fingers wrapped around a strand of hair in circles, she thought for a while, and then thanked the middle-aged woman, immediately shook her whip, and rode her horse towards the big mansion in the west of Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan Village is not big, and soon the woman arrived at the door of the house. The woman in red swung the whip directly to the wooden door, and the amazing thing was that the whip was actually controlled and did not leave the slightest mark on the wooden door. It didn't take long for a small maid in a gray hexagram and a maid in a simple yellow dress to open the door.

As soon as the little maid saw the woman in red, she saluted excitedly and then shouted inside: "The second lady has returned home!" and then heard an alternate report from inside, the woman in red was not her, it was General Tang Yihua's daughter-Tang Yuehan.

Tang Yuehan skillfully turned over and dismounted, wrapped the black soft whip around his waist casually, and then handed the horse to the little man who opened the door, and went straight to the front hall.

In the front hall, there was a middle-aged man who was slightly fat and looked more than ten years older than Tang Yihua, Tang Yihua and his wife Cui Lingrong sat on the left, and Tang Yihua's sister-in-law, Tang Yuehan's twin brother Tang Yuehao, and Tang Yihua's concubine Tang Yuelin.

Tang Yuehan shouted at Tang Yihua and Cui Lingrong so-so: "Daddy, Auntie, I'm back." "Neither bows.

Tang Yihua is very fond of Tang Yuehan, so he doesn't care about whether he is polite or not, but says to the person above him with a smile: "Let Master Zheng laugh, this is the contemptible little daughter, Tang Yuehan." Master Zheng waved his hand: "This girl is a person of true temperament, much better than the pretending women in the capital." Tang Yihua obviously liked to hear this, and smiled very happily.

Tang Yuehan pursed her lips in her heart, and said proudly on her face: "I am Daddy's daughter, so I am naturally better than others." As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing. Tang Yuehao even laughed directly: "Sister, you are following Daddy's reputation and putting gold on your face." Tang Yuehan snorted and ignored his twin brother - Tang Yuehao has liked to play with Tang Yuehan since he was a child, and Tang Yuehan never let Tang Yuehao go, but Tang Yuelin always made peace in the middle, otherwise the twin siblings would have been inseparable from each other.

Master Zheng laughed for a while before stopping his laughter, and said to Tang Yihua: "Ling Lang and Ling Yuan are all blue, haha, General Tang is blessed." ”

The excitement of the front hall soon spread to the backyard, Wang and his daughter Tang Yueqi were very dissatisfied, why did the distinguished guests not let the eldest lady go out to meet together, is it because the second lady is a concubine can receive the distinguished guests? Tang Yueqi is now fourteen years old, under the continuous "teaching" of Aunt Wang, now Tang Yuehan and Tang Yuehao in the main room are very disgusted, and even with the mother-in-law is also very disrespectful, which also led to several times by her father Tang Yihua punished, and she is not allowed to meet the distinguished guests with her.

That night, Master Zheng stayed in the Tang Mansion. Master Zheng is Emperor Jiayuan, after Emperor Jiayuan learned of Tang Yihua's residence by chance eight years ago, he took the opportunity to patrol the Chu State several times to visit Tang Yihua in Taoyuan Village, hoping that Tang Yihua could return to the dynasty to serve the Chu State, and now it is the fifth visit. When Tang Yihua came this time, his tone was obviously relaxed, and Emperor Jiayuan knew that there was hope that he could succeed this time.

At this time, Tang Yuehan and Tang Yuehao secretly hid under their parents' windows and eavesdropped. And Tang Yihua was discussing with Cui Lingrong lying on the bed. "Lingrong, we may have to return to Beijing. Tang Yihua smiled bitterly, in fact, he felt very comfortable in the past eleven years. "What did the husband say, it's not bad to return to Beijing, the eldest lady is fourteen, it's time to talk about others, I'm having a headache, this opportunity is here. The husband should be for the four children in the house, and they should all return to the court. Cui Lingrong persuaded.

Tang Yuehan felt that it made sense when she heard it, how to say that she was born in the General's Mansion at the beginning, and it was impossible to marry her in-law casually, although she had been at odds with Tang Yueqi for the past eleven years - Tang Yuehan actually didn't know why Tang Yueqi was so hostile to her, but Tang Yuehan still felt that she was a sister of the family, and she didn't have to marry someone casually, which would be a waste for the rest of her life.

Tang Yihua was silent for a while and decided to agree to Emperor Jiayuan's persuasion tomorrow, not only for the sake of the four children, but also moved by Emperor Jiayuan's five visits to cherish talents.

Tang Yuehan knew that it was inevitable to return to Beijing, so she let go and secretly followed Tang Yuehao to find Tang Yuelin, and the three of them made plans to return to Beijing together.

On April 12 of the 11th year of Tianshun, there was no cloud.

Emperor Jiayuan made two decrees early in the morning: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: I heard that the general Tang Yihua of the previous dynasty was brave and good at fighting, and the territory was troublesome. Today's trace, worship as a general, the general of the Fengzhen army.

He said: Tang Men Cui's family, Hui Lang Zhishu, gentle and courteous, Zuo Liangren's business, the line of heavy township commentary, and the Tang Gate Cui's wife is like a wife. Chin this. ”

The second will is that because Tang Yihua's name is the same as the national surname, Emperor Jiayuan specially gave the name Tang Yihua Tang Yiwu.

By the time Tang Yuehan knelt with his parents to receive the decree, it was already half a month later, and Tang Yuehan was glad that he had studied hard since he was a child, chewing on words, and now he could get the meaning of what was written on this first holy decree.

The gist of it is that Emperor Jiayuan heard that General Tang was brave and good at fighting, and that he could defeat the enemy army with many border affairs, and now he found the reclusive General Tang and decided to crown him the general of the Zhenjun of the second grade;

Tang Yuehan didn't expect Emperor Jiayuan to be so generous, he directly gave him an official position of the second grade, and gave his mother a second grade lady, and he was a little worried about causing dissatisfaction among the people and officials, so he privately sent his personal maids Mu Xiang and Mu Tong to make people go out to inquire.

In fact, Tang Yuehan underestimated the reputation of Tang Yihua (later known as Tang Yiwu), the only defeat of Tang Yiwu in the army for decades was the battle of Liye City, and the reason for the defeat was because the defenders of Liye City at that time did not want to listen to Tang Yihua's orders, but listened to the orders of useless henchmen sent by Emperor Cheng, so they were defeated. Therefore, Tang Yiwu's reputation in the hearts of the people is extremely good, and his prestige is also high, even if he is sealed at once, it will only cause dissatisfaction among a few generals. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

At that moment, Tang Yiwu got up and accepted the order, and with a smile, he ordered someone to hand a bag of broken silver to the little eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and greeted: "There is Lao Wu's father-in-law who has run this trip, a little respect, it's good to take it to drink some wine." The little eunuch weighed the bag in his hand a few times, smiled with satisfaction, and bowed his hand to Tang Yiwu: "Congratulations to General Tang, the emperor is very fond of General Tang." The little eunuch paused, thinking that Tang Yiwu had given a lot of silver, which was very good, so he mentioned again: "General Tang should take office as soon as possible, in recent years, the nomads in the north have always plundered the border people, and the emperor has a headache about this." ”

Tang Yiwu's expression was serious when he heard this, and he arched his hand towards the southwest (the direction where the imperial city is located): "The emperor is benevolent and loves the people, and the ministers should do their best to share the emperor's worries." "It's just a kind word, Tang Yuehan pretended to be ignorant on his face, but he smiled secretly in his heart, who said that the military general is upright, no, my father is quite good at playing official.

Tang Yuehan followed behind Cui Lingrong and sent away the eunuch who came to deliver the will, and before she could speak, she was suddenly snatched by Tang Yueqi: "Congratulations to my father for getting this important responsibility!"

Looking at Wang and Tang Yueqi again, when they followed the order, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and when they finally understood the meaning of the will, they were very happy to learn that Tang Yiwu was made a second-rank general.

Emperor Jiayuan is indeed a person who cherishes talents and makes good use of them, when Tang Yiwu was still serving the southern country, Emperor Cheng was very jealous of Tang Yiwu because he listened to slander, so he kept promoting his cronies, pressing Tang Yiwu everywhere, and giving Tang Yiwu an official position was only a three-grade Anbei general, which also led to the final battle of Liye City, because the official position was lower than the cronies sent by Emperor Cheng, which caused the soldiers to not listen to the instructions, and finally caused the fiasco of the Battle of Liye City.

Now Emperor Jiayuan not only visited the Tang Mansion in Taoyuan Village five times in the past few years to persuade Tang Yiwu to return to the dynasty, and now directly gave Tang Yiwu a second-grade official position, although it is because he needs Tang Yiwu's allegiance, but he is also a real benevolent monarch.

Tang Yuehan had a very good impression of Emperor Jiayuan, who had only met him a few times, but he didn't say so: "Don't you all be happy so early, haven't you heard the phrase 'accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger'? Even if Emperor Jiayuan is willing to reuse his father now, we still have to leave a way back for ourselves." ”

Tang Yuelin nodded when he heard this, he has loved to read history books since he was a child, and most of the heroes in history are just the ending of "the bird is hidden by the bow, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked".
