"Elders, what does this mean?" Xun Zhan stood aside, his face calm, as if smiling.

The four of them looked at Xun Zhan in unison, their eyes were extremely cold, Xun Ce felt his scalp tingle on the side, but Xun Zhan was still immobile and content.

One of the elders, who was a little older, had gray temples and a pale beard, but his body still looked healthy, because the rosewood chair he had shattered.

only listened to the other party's mouth, but his words were full of anger, "You have become more and more disobedient this year, what do you see you are doing?" “

Xun Zhan looked at him, his eyes were cold, and he didn't have any expression, "Elder Tie is serious. ”

Elder Tie snorted coldly, looked at Xun Zhan angrily, looked at Xun Ce again, and saw that Xun Ce was still hiding beside Xun Zhan, and hated iron even more, "Just relying on the two of you, it is a dream to want to recover the Xun clan." ”

These words were very powerful, and the two elders on the side hurriedly grabbed Elder Tie, but they did not speak out to dissuade them, one of them stepped forward and took a step, not as stern as Elder Tie, but it was also bitter.

"Our Xun clan has been on the tip of the knife for many years now, Ah Zhan, you should know that if the Xun clan continues like this now, I am afraid that it will not be long before the clan will be wiped out."

Xun Zhan glanced at him disappreciatively, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a sense of evil charm, but it was impossible to get close, he took two steps forward, and was a little closer to those elders, his posture was straight, his eyes were shining to look at them, but there was a sense of sarcasm.

"Isn't Sister in the palace? Didn't you always count on her? ”

Elder Tie was the head of the four elders, and he was also relieved at this time. Seeing that Xun Zhan was no longer as excited as Fang Cai, he sighed and said earnestly, "What do you say about your sister, she is also a woman." ”

Then he glanced at Xun Ce again, and then said, "You are the eldest son of the Xun family, and the whole clan can only rely on you." ”

Xun Zhan snorted coldly, stretched out his hand to push Xun Ce forward, and said. "He is the burden of the whole family." After speaking. He strode out of the main room, and Lu Xun Ce and the four elders in the house looked at each other.

Seeing that the four elders were staring at him, Xun Ce had no choice but to laugh twice and swallow his saliva quietly. Road. "I'll go and persuade the second brother."

As soon as the words fell. The smoke disappeared.

Elder Tie's face was so angry that he had to slap it heavily on the table, and a palm print immediately appeared on the table. Several other elders also sighed, Elder Tie had no way to take Xun Zhan, what about the few of them?

It won't be solved for a while, and you can only take one step at a time.

On the second day of the court meeting, Xun Zhan presented the military talisman to His Majesty.

In view of this battle with Western Liao, the general stationed in Guan failed to report the abnormality of Western Liao in time, and he had meritorious service in killing the enemy on the battlefield, so he made up for the merit, and there was no reward or punishment.

The Marquis of Changping already had a title, and it was not suitable to be sealed again, so he rewarded a thousand taels of gold, and ordered some tributes from small border countries over the years.

As for Meng Sheng, who was a military advisor, because the military advisor did not use the battlefield to kill the enemy, he was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.

His Majesty glanced at Xun Zhan under the hall, coughed lightly, and said, "I heard that Ah Zhan is also brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and he once burned the grain and grass of Xiliao with several of his subordinates, so that this battle could end so quickly." ”

Xun Zhan stood in the center of the main hall and bowed his head slightly in front of the saint, "It is an honor for Weichen to serve our dynasty." ”

His Majesty glanced at Xun Zhan approvingly, and then frowned slightly, and sighed softly in this silent hall, which was also very obvious, "Yesterday at the city gate, Ah Zhan, you were disrespectful to the prince, and if you have made meritorious contributions in this battle, you will not be rewarded or punished!" ”

The people in the hall were obviously stunned, Xun Zhan had only been at the border for two months, and he returned with a great victory in this battle, and people with a discerning eye could see Xun Zhan's talents, but His Majesty did not take this matter seriously.

saw Xun Zhan salute, and said loudly, "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace of not punishing." ”

Then he stood up, his movements were smooth, quite chic, and some courtiers in the palace looked at him, but saw that his face did not change, as if the other party was extremely satisfied with His Majesty's demotion.

It's just that Xun Zhan continued, "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do. ”

His Majesty looked at Xun Zhan, and was a little curious in his heart, what would he tell him in this hall, so with a wave of his hand, he was approved.

I only listened to Xun Zhan Dao, "In this incident of burning grain and grass, the route was drawn by a soldier, so that the grain and grass in Western Liao could be destroyed in one fell swoop, so I also ask Your Majesty to reward him for his meritorious deeds." ”

His Majesty narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew that Xun Zhan's temper would not be easy to praise people, let alone invite credit for others, so he wanted to know who this soldier was, so he ordered the eunuch on the side to announce this soldier in.

After a while, I saw the soldier who was still wearing a military uniform approaching from the entrance of the main hall with his head bowed, and he didn't kneel down and salute until he got closer, "Courtier Luo Jingyu has seen Your Majesty." ”

Naturally, some people in the court know Luo Jingyu, after all, Luo Qian once served as a second-class servant, and his only sister-in-law naturally has someone to know. However, His Majesty has no impression of him.

Therefore, when he heard Luo Jingyu talk about the courtier, he was even more unclear, so he raised his head, and there was some overlap between his eyebrows and his memory, but he was still uncertain and asked, "Who is your father?" ”

Luo Jingyu straightened his back slightly, and said, "Hui, Your Majesty, Luo Qian, the father of the grass people." ”

For Luo Qian, His Majesty naturally knows that the murder case that occurred in Shangshu Mansion was sealed because there were no clues, and he also regretted Luo Qian's talent, but he forgot that Luo Qian also had an eldest son.

In this way, the heart of love for talent gradually rose, and he was silent, and then he said, "Get up!" ”

Luo Jingyu responded, and then stood up, dressed in a military uniform, which was not inferior to the court uniform of the minister of the court.

The hall was silent for a while, and then His Majesty said again, "I remember that your father left in April last year, why did you go to the border gate?" ”

It stands to reason that if a relative dies, filial piety should be kept for three years, even if there are no three years, there should be twenty-seven months, if you do not keep filial piety at home, this name of filial piety can crush the person's life.

But I saw Luo Jingyu kneeling on the ground again, "The grass people are not filial, my father was alive when I went to the border before, but after my father died, the grass people cut off contact with the family, so I didn't know that my father had passed away." When Uncle Guo arrived at the border pass, the grass people asked about the situation at home, and then they heard from Uncle Guo, but at that time, the enemy was at present, what could be as important as national affairs, so the grass people came back after the war to ask for guilt. ”

In the peaceful and prosperous times, if you don't keep filial piety, the name of unfilial piety is in your eyes, but once the troubled times, it is natural that the country is in front and the family is behind.

It's only mid-August now, and Luo Qian's funeral has only been sixteen months long, and it is a basic requirement not to be an official during the period of filial piety.

But Da Zhou is talented, and when Luo Jingyu keeps his filial piety for another year, I am afraid that no one will remember him.

His Majesty also pondered for a long time, firstly, Luo Qian, as an official of the imperial court, was assassinated that day, but failed to find the murderer to close the case, and secondly, after Luo Qian passed away, he only sent Xun Zhan to perform the funeral ceremony, and then ignored it, which couldn't help but make some officials in the DPRK and China cold.

And now, it is time for him to make amends.

Therefore, His Majesty paused, and then said, "I remember that you have made meritorious contributions to killing the enemy, so I will appoint you as the Seventh Rank Left Patrol Envoy, and govern the affairs of the battle in the capital, and then take office after the expiration of your filial piety period." ”

Those who are in charge of the capital and accompany the capital to fight, fight, thieves and prison interrogation, are called the military patrol court, and the officers in charge are the left and right patrol envoys and military patrol judges.

Luo Jingyu did not hesitate at all, and immediately received the order.

When this matter is arranged, he will retreat.

Luo Jingyu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went straight to Luofu.

Yesterday, when the border soldiers returned to the city, Luo Jingyu sent a letter to Rong Wan saying that he would return home the next day, so early in the morning, Luofu opened the main gate, and Rong Wan and Rong Jun had already accompanied Qi in the main house, fidgeting.

After all, Luo Jingyu has been gone for two years, and Qi doesn't know if his eldest son is fat or thin or dark, so she only waited for the servant to report that Lang Jun had returned, and then she happily went out of the main house.

And Rong Wan and Rong Jun followed behind, Rong Wan saw Luo Jingyu, and her heart was also slightly flattened, but Rong Jun was very happy.

The three of them walked to the front of the main courtyard with their servants, and saw Luo Jingyu hurrying away, Qi's nose was sore, and two lines of tears were left.

Therefore, when Fang heard Luo Jingyu call his mother, Qi couldn't help but grab Luo Jingyu's arm and sobbed softly, Luo Jingyu was not good at showing his emotions, and his eyes were slightly red when he was so excited by Qi.

"Mother, don't be sad, isn't the child back well?"

Qi raised his head and pinched Luo Jingyu with a gesture, "You have no conscience, you don't tell my mother when you go to the border, I'm about to die of worry." ”

If it was in the past, Luo Jingyu would have smiled and avoided Qi, but this time he let Qi pinch him, and looked at Qi with some gratitude in his eyes, "Mother, work hard, this time the child will never leave his mother again." ”

Qi's hand trembled, but he was still reluctant to pinch him, so he had to say, "Next time, I will go with your father." ”

Luo Jingyu grinned, "I'm afraid my father will have to wait for a long time." ”

Qi glared at him, "Poor mouth." ”

Rong Wan looked at her brother, after this battle with Xiliao, Luo Jingyu's momentum has been tempered on the battlefield, and it seems even more calm, but it is not obvious in the face of his family.

As soon as Luo Jingyu came back, he was pulled by Qi to the main house and chatted all day, Rong Wan and Rong Jun were by their side, and three meals a day were used in the main courtyard, but when Qi asked about Luo Jingyu's battlefield, Luo Jingyu took him over without a trace.

But Rongwan always felt that something was wrong.

As for what was wrong, she couldn't tell. (To be continued.) )
