Chapter 83: Returning to His Hometown
The scorching sun sprinkled on his body, Gongzi Zheng rarely rode on a horse and walked slowly, his eyes looked around faintly, Huizhou City, the prosperous capital of his youth, is now more prosperous, he was only five years old when he left, and the palace that he was once familiar with has now become unfamiliar, he frowned, is this his home? Why wasn't he impressed at all?
Fifteen years of proton life made his heart cautious and cautious, let him live in pain, always thinking about going back to this place, he sneered, he used the word "back", how sad. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In this prosperous palace, everything seems so strange, the dilapidated palace where he once grew up is now gone, and a luxurious Huajing Pavilion has been built, which mirrors the dilapidated Peony Pavilion opposite, as if he and his mother had never existed.
He raised his head and looked at the frightened bird bells hanging in the corner of the eaves of the dilapidated attic, the dazzling sunlight made him unable to open his eyes, he seemed to have returned to his youth, when he always stood in his palace courtyard and watched the Peony Pavilion on the opposite side of the singing and dancing, separated by a wall, but his father never visited his mother, as if he had forgotten his mother.
When he was a child, how many times did he long for his father's sedan chair to stop, look at his mother, and look at him.
He was disappointed again and again, and finally despaired.
That very cold night, he was poisoned, took away his mother, and sent him to a foreign land, why should he be so cruel to him?
So far, he has no news of his mother's concubine, whether he is alive or dead, if he is alive, it must not be easy, if he is dead, where is he buried? Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles were white, and after fifteen years of endurance, he came back, and he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him step by step!
"Your Highness, it's time to go." Cheng Xin reminded in a low voice that his sword was unloaded, and the sword was not allowed in the palace, but a person with strong martial arts, anything is a weapon.
Gongzi Zheng took a deep breath, and the next thing is the real war, where the undercurrent is turbulent, and life and death are instantaneous.
The matter of capturing Wanzhou City has long been spread all over the land of China, and now the palace is very lively, and there is a big banquet.
When he appeared, everyone greeted him politely, as if he was familiar with it yesterday, and he greeted everyone warmly with a slight smile.
Further up, there are brothers.
Gongzi Zheng looked up, and he recognized Gongzi Ning at a glance, wearing a golden crown, an angular face, a black curved robe, and slender eyes looking at him, calm and calm, without any temperature.
Gongzi Ning is two years older than him, when he was young, he often took himself around to play, told him small stories about interesting things in the palace, took him to catch butterflies and dragonflies, and the brother who often took him around to play when he was a teenager was the one who sent people to hunt him down? He sneered inwardly and walked up the stone steps step by step.
King Wu has not yet come, and the highest position here is Gongzi Ning, Gongzi Ning does not speak, and no one dares to speak.
Others are not familiar with him, and they are all younger brothers who were born after he left.
Every pair of eyes under the stone steps were exploring and assessing, this prince who had endured for fifteen years, once he returned, he shocked the government and the opposition, with his pride and a border city, this thin prince had a stronger and straighter backbone than anyone else.
Gongzi Ning stood straight in the wind, the wind blew, the sleeves of his robe swayed with the wind, his slender eyes looked at the thin man in front of him, his mind was searching for his appearance when he was a toddler, he liked to laugh, he liked the third brother and the third brother to scream non-stop, and when he was sad, he would hide and cry. But now this man can no longer see what he looked like when he was a child, he is very thin, thin like a gust of wind, but the elite soldiers he sent out failed to kill him. Now he's done a great job and he's back.
Gongzi Zheng stepped forward and stood in front of him, "Third brother, long time no see." ”
Gongzi Ning's eyes were calm, "Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." He made a "please" gesture, "Work hard all the way, sit." ”
"Third brother, please first."
It was the position next to Gongzi Ning, and several brothers next to him also stepped forward to introduce themselves, and they all sat down.
Gongzi Ning said, "Fifth brother, your mansion father has already arranged it, I have sent someone to clean it up, and the fifth brother can move in at any time." ”
"Thank you so much, Third Brother." Gongzi Zheng said politely.
At this time, I heard a guard call loudly, "Your Majesty has arrived—"
The ministers got up, and when the black emperor-robed King Wu arrived, everyone bowed to the ground.
King Wu sat down, "Flat." His eyes fell on Gongzi Zheng's body, "Hongyan, my son has worked hard." ”
Gongzi Zheng leaned over and saluted, "Thank you for your father's concern." ”
"Hongyan has made a great contribution, what reward do you want?" King Wu then asked.
With such a great merit, it is not too much to reward thousands of households, but Gongzi Zheng said, "Thank you for your father's praise, this is what your sons should do, your sons don't want to reward them, the king of Qi will send troops to capture the city within half a month, and your sons want to lead the troops to resist Qi." ”
As soon as these words came out, the four seats were in an uproar, and King Wu was stunned, and then showed an admiring gaze, and laughed, "Hongyan is so great, how can he not give a reward, he will be named the Duke of Wen, give a fief, and reward five hundred households." He led 50,000 troops to garrison Wanzhou to resist the Qi army. ”
Gongzi knelt down to receive the order, "Thank you, Father." "Having a fief and having military power is only his first step.
After the ministers worshipped, Gongzi Zheng can be described as a very glorious moment, singing and dancing, congratulations continued, he was not in good health, replaced wine with tea, each returned the salute, King Wu was old and rested early, and the banquet was still going on, until late at night, Gongzi Ning also went to his side to talk about the old and drink wine, as if it was another person who wanted his life.
He treats each other with courtesy, is a humble gentleman, has a good demeanor, speaks appropriately, is not humble or silent, and is really gentle as jade.
The banquet didn't end until the second half of the night, Gongzi Zheng put away his smiling face, his eyes were no longer clear, and everyone seemed to welcome him back, but how many of them were sincere?
He had only been in Huizhou for five days, and had already received news that the King of Qi had sent an army of 100,000 to the expedition.
Therefore, he must move his troops more quickly, return to Wanzhou City, and wait for a fierce battle.
In addition to receiving those who came to celebrate, he also established his own party and stood firm in order to climb the peak.
But among these people, he is not all interested, but he is afraid that some of them are grass on the wall, but one person did not come, and he wants to visit it in person.
That person can hardly laugh, he doesn't look at people, his eyes are above the top, and when he appears, the person doesn't come to congratulate or even sneer at him like others, but that person is a rare talent, talent, all have some quirks.
Gongzi Zheng's body gradually improved, he was not so afraid of the cold, and he was not so violent, and for some reason, some flesh began to grow on his body, which made him look a little energetic.
That evening he went out to visit the man who was a stranger.
