Chapter 1211: Father and Son
It took ten days for the group to arrive in Yucheng. By the time I arrived, it was already dark.
It was Chu Shaoguang who was guarding Yucheng, and when he got the news, he personally went out of the barracks to welcome the group.
After saluting Yunqing, Chu Shaoguang looked at Qihao next to him and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, this is the prince of the world, right?" The four brothers are very similar to Yunqing. I have to say that Yunqing's genes are too strong. Of the six children, none of them are particularly like Yuxi.
Qi Hao gave Chu Shaoguang a junior salute, and then called Uncle Chu. Qihao's etiquette was taught by Yuxi by a special person, and no one can fault this aspect.
Chu Shaoguang smiled and said to Yunqing: "The last general has always heard of the demeanor of the prince, and today I saw that the result is worthy of the name. ”
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Children can't stand the praise. "Influenced by Yuxi, even if he is proud of having a son like Qihao, he rarely praises Qihao in front of him on weekdays.
When I entered the barracks, the first thing I did was to take a bath. In the past ten days, I haven't been able to take a good bath. Not to mention Qihao, Yunqing is a little uncomfortable.
Hearing Yunqing say to take a bath together, Qi Hao said a little uncomfortably: "Dad, you go soak first!" Since he was a child, he has never taken a bath with anyone.
Seeing that his son was shy, Yun Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "You stinky boy, what is there to be shy in front of your father." ”
couldn't resist Yunqing, and in the end, Qihao washed it with Yunqing. However, Qi Hao was reluctant to take off his pants when he was in the bath, Yun Qing saw this and stepped forward to take it off for him, Qi Hao covered his trouser belt and didn't let go.
Yunqing picked up Qihao and forcibly took off his obscene pants. Looking at Qi Hao, whose face was flushed and covered his lower body with his hands, Yun Qing laughed happily: "You kid, what's so embarrassing about this." If you have it, so does your father. ”
Qi Hao felt that he had grown so big, and he had never been so embarrassed as he was today. But it was his father who made fun of him, and he didn't dare to lie if he was angry.
Lu Bai heard laughter outside, and asked Yi Kun with some incomprehension: "Why don't you just take a bath, why is the prince so happy?" It was rare to hear Yun Qing laugh so happily.
Yi Kun said: "When you have a son, you will know when you take a bath with your son." By the way, you're in your twenties, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, right?"
Lu Bai didn't shy away from this topic, but said: "I haven't met anyone I like!" Lu Bai, as Yunqing's personal guard, has a good future and is still very popular.
Yi Kun was a little puzzled: "I said what kind of one do you want to find?" Over the years, not to mention matchmakers, they have all told Lu Bai several times. But Ya's vision is too high, and you don't look at any of them.
Lu Bai thought for a while and said, "I want to find someone who is as beautiful and capable as the princess." ”
Yi Kun was stunned for a moment, then patted Lu Bai's shoulder and said, "Then you are still ready to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!" Who doesn't want to find a daughter-in-law like the princess. Being beautiful and capable is secondary, the most important thing is to be able to give birth and all the children are as smart as her. But the problem is that there is no second woman in the world who can prosper like this!
Lu Bai also knew that it was difficult, and said: "I don't want to be the same as the princess, as long as I have the ability of the princess, I will be satisfied." ”
Yi Kun felt that Lu Bai still recognized the reality, and said: "Your requirements are not low, but talk to the matchmaker and let them find out when the time comes." "On Lu Bai's condition, all the high-ranking families are willing to marry their daughters to him.
Lu Bai nodded and said, "Well, after this war is over, I will be busy with marrying a daughter-in-law." ”
As he was talking, he heard movement inside. After a while, Yunqing came out of it. Yun Qing, who was dressed in a red robe, asked, "What are you two talking about after muttering for a long time?"
Yi Kun didn't hide it and said: "What are you talking about Lu Bai marrying a daughter-in-law?
Yun Qing asked with interest, "What did you say?"
Yi Kun ignored Lu Bai's fierce eyes and said with a smile: "This stinky boy said that he wanted to marry a smart and capable daughter-in-law like the princess. ”
Yun Qing didn't feel that Lu Bai was offended, on the contrary, he was very proud. This proves that her daughter-in-law is excellent, and others will look for her like this: "I was lucky to marry the princess, and you kid is not so lucky." ”
Brother Hao was very particular, and after taking a bath with Yunqing, he carried a bucket of water and rushed from head to foot, and then changed his clothes. This is also the reason why he didn't come out with Yunqing.
When I walked to the door, I just heard Yunqing's words. Qi Hao looked up at Yunqing and said, "Dad, be careful that my mother is going to talk about you again when she hears this." "His dad is really open-mouthed.
Yi Kun looked at Qi Hao, who was blushing like an apple, and wanted to pinch it, but unfortunately he didn't have the heart and the courage.
The dinner was very rich, with chicken, duck and fish. Yun Qing took a sip of the burnt knife and said with a smile: "This is the taste, which makes me miss the most." ”
Chu Shaoguang looked at Qi Hao and said, "Lord Shizi, do you want to have a bowl too?" Ten-year-old children can drink alcohol in Yucheng.
Without waiting for Qi Hao to speak, Yun Qing refused first: "This wine is too strong for him to drink, and it will be about the same in two years." Yuxi is not against children drinking, otherwise he would not let a few children drink fruit wine on weekdays. It's just that Yuxi thinks that drinking strong alcohol hurts his body, so he doesn't allow children to drink it.
Yun Qing spoke, and Chu Shaoguang naturally did not dare to object.
After dinner, Yunqing asked Qihao to rest. Qi Hao shook his head and said, "Dad, I'm not sleepy yet. He was going to see how many large letters he could write again.
Yunqing didn't stop it, because he couldn't stop it. Yun Qing had to advise: "I have to go to bed in half an hour at most, you know?"
Qi Hao snorted and took out the books he brought from the box to read. As for the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, it was provided by Chu Shaoguang.
Walking out of Qihao's house, Yunqing said to Yi Kun: "I can now understand the mood of the princess. ”
This is a brainless statement, how can Yi Kun understand.
Fortunately, Yunqing didn't need Yi Kun to ask, and said again: "My son works so hard, I, as a father, am both relieved and distressed!" Yuxi also said this before, but unfortunately he didn't have such a deep understanding at that time.
Yi Kun felt that this was a naked show-off: "Lord Wang, this is a blessing that no one can ask for." "As long as his son has half of the world's son, no, even if it is twenty percent, he is satisfied. But that kid asked him to study, it was like letting him hang himself, and thinking about it made his stomach angry.
Yunqing said: "You are right, this is indeed not a blessing that everyone can ask for. "My son is so studious, and I am naturally happy to be a father.
Yi Kun was so depressed that he didn't speak.
Half an hour later, Qi Hao was about to go to bed, when he heard Zhao Tao, a personal servant, say softly: "Lord Shizi, the lights in the prince's house are still on!"
When Qi Hao heard this, he went to Yunqing's house. This Yunqing was looking at the map, and when he saw Qi Hao, he asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?" Qi Hao's schedule is stipulated by Yuxi, and he has to sleep when he arrives, and he never compromises it.
Qi Hao said: "I'm about to sleep! Dad, don't look at it, no matter how anxious you are, it's not at this moment." Otherwise, my mother would know about it and worry about it again. ”
Yun Qing smiled and put away the map: "You stinky boy, but you know how to use your mother to press me." After speaking, he put the map aside, touched Brother Hao'er's head and said, "Let's sleep with my father at night!" I brought him here this time, just to let him relax. This is also the reason why he teased Brother Hao in the afternoon.
Qi Hao didn't refuse, nodded and agreed: "Okay." "Yunqing is very busy on weekdays, except when he was in Hejiazhuang, the two of them have been together the longest now.
After resting for a night, the next day Yunqing took Qihao to the city tower in Yucheng.
When Yuxi first married Yucheng, this city tower was only 6 meters high, and now it has increased to 8 meters.
Yunqing will be a commentator, and said to Qi Hao as he walked: "This level has three lines of defense, namely the inner city, the outer city, and the moat, which overlap and defend, and the walls are tight. It is connected with the Great Wall as a whole, forming a military defense system of five miles and one sui, ten miles and one pier, thirty miles and one fort, and one hundred miles and one city......"
Qi Hao listened very carefully. He had seen these things from books, and he had heard Xu Wu mention them to Huo Changqing, but none of them were as detailed as Yunqing.
After Yunqing finished talking about the architectural structure of Yucheng, and told about the last soldiers who died in Yucheng under the difficult environment, Yunqing's voice was lowered unconsciously.
There were hundreds of people who followed, all listening quietly, without even coughing.
Qi Hao was very surprised when he heard that Yuxi had also gone up to the city tower: "Dad, has my mother also been on the battlefield?"
Yun Qing's voice was very low, and he said: "Well, the situation was critical at that time, and your mother personally went up to the city tower in order to boost morale. As for Yuxi fainting after getting off the tower, he didn't say anything, so he didn't have to say it to affect Yuxi's image.
Qi Hao felt as if there was nothing his mother hadn't done. However, Qi Hao also understood why her mother did not object to the eldest sister going to the battlefield.
Before they knew it, the group had walked for miles. Yunqing said, "In the afternoon, I will take you to the mass grave. "The so-called mass grave is the place where the soldiers are buried. Every time Yunqing goes to Yucheng, he will go to the mass grave to worship.
Qi Hao said in a deep voice: "Okay." ”
After worshipping the mass grave in the afternoon, Qi Hao said to Yunqing: "Dad, these heroes can't be sent back to their homeland without a tomb, should we ask the master to spend it for them." "Sometimes it's overdone in the hope that they'll get a good baby.
Thinking of that dream, Yun Qing said: "When the war in the Northern Captivity is over, please ask the master to spend it together." "Things in dreams can be used as references, but they cannot be used as a basis for fighting. Whether this battle can be won, Yunqing is not very sure, even if he wins, many people will definitely die.
In Yucheng, Yunqing stayed for nearly half a month. And Qi Hao follows Yunqing day or night. Qi Hao, who didn't understand, kept it in his heart, and asked Yunqing afterwards. After a period of time, I have benefited a lot.
Leaving Yucheng, the father and son went to the West Sea again.
Feng Dajun returned to Yucheng for the Chinese New Year last year, so Qi Hao is also very familiar with him. Coupled with Feng Zhiao's presence, Qi Hao has no sense of alienation.
Seeing Qi Hao, Feng Dajun said to Yun Qing: "I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and the prince has grown taller again." "Feng Dajun is a smart person, and he is very affectionate to Qi Hao, but he will not be excessive. He grasped this balance very well.
Qi Hao said with a smile: "I don't have Brother Zhi Ao to grow fast. Feng Zhiao is more than two heads taller than him. However, Qi Hao is not worried about his height, he is relatively tall among his peers.
After a few jokes, Feng Dajun welcomed everyone into the house. The house where Feng Dajun lives is very spacious, but the layout is very simple, and it is better than in the barracks.
Feng Dajun led the father and son into the house and said, "The houses are relatively simple, if the prince is not used to living, just ask." "The conditions here are not good, and it's impossible to be like Pickaxe City.
Yunqing must be able to get used to it, I think they still slept in the wild back then. Ke Qihao is the son of the world, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, and Feng Dajun is afraid that he will not be used to it.
Qi Hao said with a smile: "Uncle Feng is polite, it's already good to have this condition." "When we were fighting, we didn't even have a house to live in, so we had to live in a tent.
Feng Dajun didn't make any banquets, so they had a simple meal together. After eating, the group entered the house and talked about the war at the beginning of next spring.
Feng Dajun said: "Lord Wang, you said that you are going to send troops to attack the Northern Captivity in the spring of next year. Lord Wang, with all due respect, is it a bit of a rush?" "The last time Yun Qing came, he said that he had to prepare first, and he would send troops to the north in three years at most. Unexpectedly, not long after Yun Qing returned to Ho City, he wrote to him saying that he would send troops next year.
Yunqing said: "There is still more than half a year before the beginning of spring next year, and during this time, we must step up the training of soldiers and not slack off. As for military salaries, food and grass, you don't have to worry, it has already been raised. ”
There were no idle people in the house, and Feng Dajun asked directly if he had something to say: "Lord Wang, it takes millions to send troops this time, and the princess has raised so much money in such a short time?"
Yun Qing was not shy about saying to Feng Dajun at all: "It just so happened that I made a windfall some time ago. ”
Feng Dajun was more well-informed, and asked: "Lord Wang, is this windfall really from the Wu family?" He also got the news, saying that the Wu family had donated nearly 10 million gold and silver. In this regard, Feng Dajun is not very convinced. If there really is such a huge amount of money, it will not wait for it to be handed over now.
Yun Qing took Feng Dajun as a brother, so naturally he would not hide it, and nodded immediately.
Feng Dajun didn't ask much about how Yuxi asked Wu Kuo to hand over this treasure: "So, the princess also agreed to send troops to attack the northern captivity?"
Yun Qing snorted and said, "The princess is already rectifying the grain, and she has also ordered a large number of purchases of medicinal herbs, gauze and other things that can be used on the battlefield. ”
Feng Dajun was relieved.
Qi Hao saw Feng Dajun's expression in his eyes, and afterwards he asked Yun Qing: "Dad, why did Uncle Feng feel a lot more relaxed when he heard that his mother also agreed to send troops to the north?"
Yun Qing said with a smile: "In a war, in addition to the combat ability and material equipment of the main generals and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, there is another crucial factor, that is, the logistics of the army. Your mother has been doing a good job of this. Dad has no worries, so he can always win battles. ”
Qi Hao smiled and said, "That's why Dad said that you can always win battles with half of your mother's credit?"
Yunqing nodded.
