Chapter 406: The Purpose of Joining the Army
Xiaowen frowned and thought about it, and sharply asked the key to the question: "Then aren't you afraid of affecting us now?" ”
Li Xiguang was a little surprised, he didn't expect Xiaowen to be a small person who could think of this layer. He didn't answer, but turned to look at the youngest three children, and asked with a slightly serious face: "Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu, Lan Lan, can you promise not to say today's words?" ”
Xiao Wu knew his own background, although his brothers were secretive, but he already knew it, so he said firmly: "Daddy, don't worry, Xiao Wu will never say it!" ”
Xiaohu and Xiaolan also replied almost in unison: "Don't say it!" Say nothing! ”
Li Xiguang touched the heads of the three children with satisfaction and praised "good boy, good boy".
Xiao Ou also assured on the side: "Uncle, don't worry, none of us will say anything about the family." Xiaoyu has already instructed us, and we all remember it. ”
Li Xiguang relieved his heart and said to the eldest sister and a few children: "The reason why I came back this time is because there is an opportunity this time, and the imperial court has recruited troops on the border. ”
"Conscription? What does that have to do with Daddy? Xiaoshan asked strangely.
Xiaowen raised his head all of a sudden, and asked in shock, "Daddy!" You're going to be"
The corners of Li Xiguang's eyes were a little moist, he didn't expect his second son to be so sensitive, and he didn't expect him to call his father at this time.
Ouyang Luo also came to her senses, and fiercely objected: "No! I disagree! I wish you were alive, how could I put you in danger again? If you have another one with three long and two short. You're still making us not alive? ”
Li Xiguang looked at his eldest sister, his face slowly became gloomy, and he said in a low and angry voice: "What should I do if my grandfather is wronged?" What about the grievances of more than 160 people in the family? How can you let me forget this blood feud? One day, how will I go to see my grandfather, grandmother, father and mother?
Only when we have our own forces can we find out the truth of that year. Only when we become strong can we rehabilitate our grandfather! Do you think that just having the money and the truth can vindicate your grandfather? Wrong! If there is no real right, my grandfather's grievances will be lost forever.
My grandfather was loyal to the country all his life, and guarded the border for the court for decades, and there was no merit and hard work, right? What did my Ouyang family do wrong? Unexpectedly, one did not leave a full door to copy? If we are afraid that my grandfather's high achievements will shock the main court and remove him, our family can choose a place to retreat. However, the imperial court did not give such an opportunity. It's uprooted like this, leaving no room for anything!
I know, it's all grandfather's fault! Grandfather's mistake was that he was too loyal to the court! Trust it too! It's too stupid! There was no way back. was exterminated in this way! How can you make me not hate? How can you enjoy the peaceful life and live a lifetime? No! I'm going to turn this big leaf dynasty upside down! Let his family no longer sit still! ”
When Li Xiguang said that he was emotional, a sharp cold light burst out from his deep Danfeng's eyes, his teeth squeaked, and the green tendons on his neck jumped up. Clench your fists. It exudes a lustful aura.
Xiaohu and Xiaolan saw that their new father suddenly became terrifying, and subconsciously stayed away from his father, looking at him for some reason. I don't understand why my father, who was so amiable just now, has changed.
Xiao Ou hurriedly brought them to his side and carefully comforted them.
Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, and Xiaowu couldn't help but be immersed in their father's emotions, and they all realized the complexity, harshness, and arduousness of the things they were facing.
Daddy is right, even if you find out the truth of the year, you will be killed by the people behind the scenes if you don't have the power.
However, even if there is power. Can you redress your great-grandfather's grievances? The people behind the scenes can frame the grandfather so easily, if there are no layers of connections. Who has so much power to cover the sky with one hand?
Without the emperor's approval, no one would have dared to frame Ouyang Dutong, who was still in his prime. Then, it is clear who is behind the scenes.
What will be the consequences of fighting the imperial court with the strength of one family? The answer is self-explanatory. However, as a descendant of the Ouyang family, he can't do nothing. The most important thing is to accumulate strength and hold power in your hands, so that you can get closer to your goal step by step.
Xiaoshan, Xiaowen, and Xiaowu all felt the weight of the burden on their shoulders, this is not an overnight thing, and they have to plan slowly to be feasible. It's a pity that my sister isn't here, if she is, she must know what to do.
Ouyang Luo looked at her little brother distressedly, her heart was complicated and unspeakable, and she didn't know what it was like. The sunny, kind, upright, versatile, civil and military little brother is gone, and there is no longer any shadow of the past in the little brother in front of him.
After so many years of hard work, lying on the salary and tasting gall, accumulating power, and strategizing, he has already tasted the heat and coldness of the world, the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and has seen through the hypocrisy and coldness of the world.
Fortunately, there are still children in his heart, and with the concern of children, his heart will definitely slowly soften.
Li Xiguang knew that he was out of control for a moment just now, which frightened the children. So, he adjusted his emotions and said in a gentle voice, "I know you were all frightened just now, and I know that you may not agree with Daddy's approach. However, since you are my Li Xiguang's children, you must have the courage, courage and ability to bear all this!
Now that I've taken advantage of this conscription, I've taken some of my people into the army, and this is also the best opportunity to have the power in my hands. Making contributions on the battlefield is the most direct and fastest way to get promoted, and the Ren family can also give me the opportunity to be promoted.
When I come back this time, I really miss you so much! Second, I want to tell you some of my thoughts so that you can be prepared. I want to have power, not only to avenge my grandfather, but also to support my children.
I don't want my children to be looked down upon by anyone in the future, I want to earn for you a glory that can raise your family background and raise the lintel. ”
"But Dad, we want a reunited home even more, and we want a strong Dad!" Xiaowen said suddenly.
Xiaoshan also said emotionally: "Daddy, I admit that we can empathize with all this you said, and we also understand your heart for your grandfather." However, what about you and us, we will follow all these plans you said to seriously go through the imperial examination, get out of a smooth road in the official career as soon as possible, accumulate contacts, and rehabilitate your great-grandfather is not the only one you can do. You've got us! ”
Li Xiguang looked at the two sensible sons with relief, and began to solve their doubts: "Silly son, I didn't just join the army because I wanted to have the right in my hands. At present, the soldiers and horses of the Liao army occupy Baishan City, and the imperial court wants to repeat the old tricks, and wants to take this opportunity to uproot the Ren family.
The Liao army was once a defeated general under your great-grandfather, how can I now watch him occupy the territory of the Daye Dynasty at our doorstep? Even if I am not satisfied with the royal family, it is our internal matter, I helped the Ren family drive the Liao army out, not only in addition to the foreign cole, but also made military merits, why not? As for the future, I hope that the Ren family will give me a suitable official position this time, so that I can start a higher starting point in the officialdom, and I will be able to show my strength in the future.
