Chapter 228: There is a Time to Die
Yu Ren saw that Xia Xun's expression was different, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xian?" ”
Xia Xun was calm and hurriedly said: "Oh, the little brother has never hugged the child, but I feel that this little person, the bones of the body are tender, I don't dare to hold it lightly, I don't dare to hold it heavy, I am a little at a loss." ”
Yu Ren laughed when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "I can't complain, I can't complain, don't talk about you, when Wen Po took the child out of the delivery room, she saw his small appearance, and she was in a hurry for her brother, so she didn't dare to hug it." ”
Mrs. Yu took her son back from Xia Xun with a smile, and at this time, the next person came to report that the wine and food had been prepared, and Yu Ren hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Xian, please." ”
It has been more than ten days since Yu Qian's full moon wine, and there have been no guests sent to him in the past two days, and today is purely a banquet for his family. Since it is a family banquet, there are not as many outsiders as they are, and the men, women and children in the family have to attend the banquet, Yu Ren did not avoid suspicion and let Xia Xun sit at the same table with his female relatives, which really regarded him as his own brother and did not look at him as an outsider.
As soon as Xia Xun entered the banquet living room, he saw an old woman being put on the top of the feast, the old woman was afraid that she was not seventy or eighty years old, with gray hair and a wrinkled face, Xia Xun hurriedly said: "This old lady is ........., Brother Yu's grandmother?" ”
Shouren explained: "This is Granny Miao, who has been doing things in my Yufu for a lifetime. So saying, he walked up quickly, pulled out the chair, and helped the old woman to sit down, with a respectful demeanor, as if she were his own elder.
Xia Xun listened to his words, this old woman surnamed Miao was just a maid in Yufu, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that this old woman had a great favor for the Yu family? When he comes back, sit down next to him" Xia Xun asked quietly, Yu Ren said solemnly: "Brother Xian misunderstood, Granny Miao has been in my house since she was a child, she served my grandfather" also served my father, and now she is old, I, as a junior, should naturally respect her like a child, isn't it a matter of course? ”
Xia Xun couldn't help but be in awe when he heard this, for a servant can still be like this, Yu Ren's morality and mind can be seen. With such parents, how can Yu Qian not be affected? With such a tutor, it's no wonder that he was able to grow into such an earth-shattering figure later.
Xia Xun searched his intestines and scraped his belly" vaguely remembered that Yu Qian seemed to be a person from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then saw the environment of Yu Ren's family, thinking of Yu Qian's age, it was almost possible to conclude that this Yu Qian was the later Yu Shaobao, thinking about Yu Shaobao, who was famous in history, he was holding it in his arms, his pink and tender little hands, and still grasping his fingers, being teased by himself grinning and smirking, saliva spilled on his sleeves, Xia Xun really had a feeling of dreaming.
Although Yu Ren is a well-educated person, "but there is no sour breath full of people" and Xia Xun talked about "very good temperament of Xia Xun, the two of them drank and met confidants, and drank happily, and suddenly heard a commotion on the street, although separated by a front yard, it was still passed into the room" Yu Ren was stunned, and said in surprise: "It's not a year, it's not a festival, what is this making trouble?" ”
Someone went to inspect it, and after a while, the family Ding ran back and said: "Back to the master, this is when the court Cao Guogong, the crown prince, and the governor of the left army, Li Jinglong, the general Li Da Xuan, the officials of the Hangzhou Prefecture Military Political and Legal Department went to greet them, blowing and beating very lively, the military ranks on the street are neat, they are passing in line, it is mighty, many people are chasing and watching, do you want to go and see?" ”
Yu Ren looked at Xia Xun and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, let's go together." ”
"Okay, Brother Yu, please"
Xia Xun also wanted to see Li Jinglong's appearance at this time, so he also stood up, confessed his guilt to his sister-in-law Yu Huang, and strode out.
Officials from all walks of life of the Department of Military Politics and Law of Hangzhou Prefecture greeted him from ten miles away, and welcomed General Li, who had returned triumphantly, into the city, and there were also Hangzhou gentry and celebrities who offered gifts and congratulated them, and marched into the city in a lively and lively procession.
Li Jinglong did not catch up with Chen Zuyi, Chen Zuyi slipped back to Nanyang in a hurry, Li Jinglong's troops were really inferior to Chen Zuyi who returned to the base camp, and after running such a long way, the supply of military supplies was also a problem, so he accepted it when he saw it was good, and decisively withdrew his troops.
In this battle, he wiped out the Chumi Gang, killed the female bandit leader Xiaomi, captured the bandit leader Xiao Chu and Qin prisoner Ling Potian, defeated the Nanyang thief, Chen Zuyi, known as the king of the sea, destroyed and captured three pirate ships, killed and captured more than 1,000 pirates, and exterminated more than 10 other gangs along the coast, seized pirate ships and captured a number of pirates, this credit was enough for him to show off in front of Emperor Hongwu.
At this time, at the front of the procession were the pirates who had been captured by him, followed by the officers and soldiers with strict guard of honor, then he and the officials and gentry who were hugging each other, and the flags fluttering behind were still majestic officers and soldiers.
As soon as he went ashore, he couldn't wait to send him to the capital on the ship, and the carefully written performance was sent to the capital quickly, and the clever use of the Shuangyu Gang naturally became his credit, Chen Zuyi's occupation of the Shuangyu Gang also became a good move for him to deliberately provoke the East China Sea and the South China Sea bandits to discord, and Chen Zuyi's return to the horse with a shot became his return to the horse, when the two gangs of pirates in the East China Sea and the South China Sea were inextricably killed, and his vitality was greatly damaged, he Li Jinglong suddenly came out of nowhere, and came back from Fuyu to fight the two major pirate gangs in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, finally defeated the Shuangyu Gang, thousands of miles to chase and kill Chen Zuyi, this chapter is brilliantly written, "but it is lifelike" will never give people a sense of heaven and fall, flashy and unreal, Zhu Yuanzhang has fought a lifetime, and if he doesn't write it, he can't deceive this young man at all. Fortunately, most of what Li Jinglong said was true, at most, he put the credit of others on his own head, said that other people's heroic deeds were his own arrangements, and cleverly said that he had already done it intentionally when he caught up with the battle between the Shuangyu Gang and Chen Zuyi by mistake.
Of course, Xia Xun cannot be mentioned in this recital. Luo Yu, Tie Xuan and others are not low in rank, and they have real power, they can still be used in the future, although he is a member of the imperial court, he can't leave these elites of the middle class, and it is also appropriate to divide some work. As for Fu Xun, he really doesn't want to mention it, it stands to reason that Xia Xun's rank is not high, what is his record and what is his life and death, there is no need to mention it, the question is, he is the assistant appointed by the emperor to himself, how can his performance and whereabouts not be mentioned?
Fortunately, Xia Xun has not heard from him for a long time, since Shuangyu Island was breached for the first time, the ships of officers and soldiers were burned, and he was forced to return to the sailor camp on a pirate ship, Xia Xun's whereabouts are unknown.
In the news from the Hangzhou Guardian, there is also a hundred households named Li Zhou who also disappeared at the same time. Since then, the Shuangyu Gang has been turned over and over again, and several battles have been fought by several forces, even if Xia Xun was not dead at the time, how can he still be alive now?
In the first draft of Ji Jinglong's recital to Zhu Yuanzhang, he only briefly mentioned that he arranged for Xia Xun to escort prisoners of war and block the sea lane, but because the prisoners made trouble and burned the ship, he died in the fire.
If a person is dead, how can the emperor reward him, and what is the use? He Li Jinglong is the commander of the East China Sea crackdown, praising Yang Xu's dead ghost a few words, the emperor is just promoting him to a first-level official position, rewarding a few plates of silk and satin, and he has to go to his house in person to condole, this is a subordinate of Enyu, and when the time comes, ......
Li Jinglong couldn't help but think of Xie Yu, her smile and smile were full of a different charm, and the whole person went to that station, just like a peach huā on the bank of the river in the early morning, swaying in the mist, and like the water shining huā, with all kinds of styles. If such a little woman is dressed in linen and filial piety, she is crying with rain, she is a surviving person who is delicate and delicate, pink and tender, and shy......
Li Jinglong's lower abdomen was hot, and he was still on the horse, and the little brother under his crotch wanted to try: "Lang Duo looks like a slave, and he will open his feet when he holds his son." Open the huā petals, and take the light cage slowly. The chest is sweaty, and the spring is full of joy. Lang Dao: Sister, you seem to be as slippery as Tsing Yi on the stone skin? In order to have a source of living water, living water to come and living water to "......", Li Jinglong hummed and chirped, and was angry in his heart, and unintentionally turned his head, and saw two people standing on the stone steps in front of a house, one of them was dressed in an elegant green shirt, with a long jade body, with a chuckle on his face, and his eyebrows, eyes and facial features, vaguely the dead ghost Yang Xu. looked at it again, and sure enough, it was him, and Li Jinglong choked when he boarded. The wind coughed violently......
Guogong Xingyuan, waiting to send away the officials from all walks of life in Hangzhou to leave, Li Jinglong, who was tired, fell on the leisurely chair, let the two little girls hug the qin and Siqi to pinch his thighs, and immediately called Yang Xu. Yang Xu had expected that he would definitely see him, and when he was entertaining the officials of Hangzhou Prefecture, he had already thought about the wording, and as soon as he heard the news of Cao Guogong, Xia Xun immediately signed up to enter.
Li Jinglong asked him about the situation after the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division evacuated the Shuangyu Gang and disappeared, Xia Xun immediately told him the set of words he had come up with, how he was injured, how he fell behind, how he absconded under the pursuit of pirates, how he lived and died several times, how he struggled, and showed him the injury on his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, Li Jinglong couldn't be a villain anymore, so he had to reluctantly say a few words, and mentioned how he did it for him in the recital, and asked him to step back. Xia Xun knew that he had passed this level, and when he returned to Beijing, he would make his own errands and return to his own way" He Li Jinglong couldn't help himself anymore, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.
He was grateful, respectfully retreated, just turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall, and rushed into a person outside, Xia Xun was caught off guard and collided with him, and was knocked into a stumbling one, when he looked at it, it was a military post messenger with a triangular red flag on his shoulder, and the person didn't care about Xia Xun, at a glance he saw Li Jinglong, and after asking his identity, he didn't even have time to salute, so he hurriedly grabbed two steps, tore off the cross-body letter and handed it over.
Li Jinglong didn't know what news was coming from the capital, so he quickly jumped up and took the letterbox to check the fire paint seal, opened the letterbox and took out an official letter, unfolded it, and suddenly exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost: "Ah! Emperor...... Crashed! ”! ~!
