Wen Tianxiang's mansion is the residence of Chen Yizhong, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty. After Li Luo entered Lin'an, he generously rewarded Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang is not only the captain of the East Pavilion of the Military Division's Mansion, but also the commander of the Zaizhi, and was also named the Marquis of Luling County.

The county marquis has an annual salary of 6,000 yuan, 6,000 households, and 10,000 acres of land. A real upstart in the Tang Kingdom.

At this time, two carriages came at the gate of the Wen family. A black-clad junior official of the Ministry of Rites said to the carriage very respectfully: "Madam, your mansion has arrived, please get off the carriage." ”

After the little official finished speaking, he shouted at the slave at the gate: "Your master has returned home!" Come and greet you! ”

The curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a woman's face with Zhou Zheng facial features but full of vicissitudes, which was Mrs. Ouyang, Wen Tianxiang's wife.

Lady Ouyang and several daughters were captured by the Yuan army after Wen Tianxiang's defeat and sent to the Dadu Palace as slaves. After Wen Tianxiang was righteous in history, Ouyang said in front of the grave, "The king does not live up to the country, I do not live up to the king", and then killed himself.

This integrity and courage are also a model for women.

Ouyang was born in a family, and Song Shi was the wife of the prime minister, and he was pampered before. But she is only in her early forties this year, but her hair is gray, she is haggard, and only the outline of her facial features can vaguely see the beauty of the year.

The years are already urging people to get old, not to mention when the Yuan Palace was a slave.

Mrs. Ouyang got out of the car slowly, and her gestures were still graceful, and she didn't seem to have been changed by the life of a slave in the palace.

A carriage behind also moved, revealing two haggard but beautiful young faces.

They are Wen Tianxiang's second daughter, Liu Niang, and the third daughter, Huanniang, who have been slaves in the Dadu Yuan Palace for seven years with their mother Ouyang Clan.

Wen Tianxiang's wife and concubine gave birth to two sons and six daughters. But either he died in battle, or he died in the war, and now only Liu Niang and Huan Niang are left.

They are weavers and slaves in the palace, weaving and washing clothes every day, without a day of rest.

Objectively speaking, Kublai Khan was quite generous. Even if Wen Tianxiang worked for Li Luo, Kublai Khan did not send anyone to practice Wen Tianxiang's wife and daughter, and told the palace eunuchs not to treat them harshly.

As a political master, people like Kublai Khan would never do anything out of the question. If he does something desperately, it only means that you have no value in his eyes.

Liu Niang and Huanniang also got out of the car in a slender posture, standing next to Ouyang on the left and on the right. The mother and daughter looked up at the plaque of the "Luling Marquis Mansion", and they were all in tears.

What the Ouyang clan was excited about was not that Wen Tianxiang had sealed the Hou. After all, in the former Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang was knighted as the Duke of Guo, and she was also considered the Duchess of the Kingdom.

She was excited that she finally went home and could finally see Wen Tianxiang.

It's been seven years.

How many days and nights of haunting dreams, tears wet and cold pillows, finally looking forward to this day.

At that time, when they were in the palace, they couldn't believe it when they learned that Li Luo, the king of Tang, was going to exchange them for the king of Yunnan. But it wasn't until they were repatriated that they believed it was true.

Tang Wang... Gao Yi!

"Huanniang, are we really back in Lin'an? Really home? It's not a dream, is it? Ouyang said in a trance. Even at this time, she was afraid that it was a dream. When I woke up from the dream, I saw the cold Yuan Palace again.

Huanniang cried with joy on her face: "It's not a dream! Mother, we're really home! ”

"Meet Madame! Meet the lady! A large group of slaves came out and knelt down together, "Please go back to the house!" ”

Most of these slaves were slaves in the Yuan army, because they helped the Yuan army fight, and after being captured, they did not cancel their slave status, but were assigned to meritorious heroes as slaves by Li Luo.

These people have been slaves for many years, and it doesn't matter if they change their masters.

The female slaves in the palace were the families of the suppressed wealthy families and the bureaucrats of the Yuan court. They have been lucky to have picked up a life.

"Get up." The many servants of the Ouyang clan said, and then turned to the junior official of the Ministry of Rites and bowed, "Thank you for sending the old man back." Please ask the official to return to the great uncle (the book of the Ministry of Rites) and thank you on behalf of the elder. ”

The panicked little official hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Xia Guan An dares to be thanked by his wife, and the big uncle will speak for him." ”

Liu Niang and Huan Niang also saluted together, and the petty officials had to return the salute one by one.

Ouyang's mother and daughter were handed over by the Ministry of Rites, and a car was sent to send them back, of course they had to thank them.

When the petty official of the Ministry of Rites left with the carriage, the Ouyang family entered the mansion with his two daughters.

The servants waited respectfully, for fear of angering the three masters who had just returned.

"Where's Jiajun?" Ouyang held back his excitement and asked the official family of the Wen Mansion.

The housekeeper replied respectfully: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the official of the family lives in the military division mansion, and he should be busy with official business in the military division mansion." As soon as the bell rang for the city duty, the gentleman would be back soon. ”

"Military Division's Mansion..."Ouyang said to his daughter, "I said a long time ago, although your father is a well-educated scribe, he is more suitable to help in military affairs like Mr. Jiaxuan. It can be seen that the king is quite knowledgeable, and he is really a wise man. ”

The biggest misunderstanding of Wen Tianxiang in later generations is that he is a civil official with integrity, although he is only eight buckets high, but his political ability is average, and his military talent is rare.

This is really wrong.

If political talent is the ability to fight in the court, then Wen Tianxiang is indeed not good, because he has been repeatedly degraded, and the ups and downs of the sea for 20 years have been quite bumpy.

But if you want to talk about his practical ability and political vision, it is far better than those politicians with "smart" political talents.

As for his military talent, he can definitely be worthy of a famous general.

Wen Tianxiang recruited soldiers and horses under the overall rout, with tens of thousands of weak divisions with insufficient training, lack of food and equipment, and no backup, and fought with the Yuan army alone for several years, and achieved a great victory in Yudu and Nanjian, once recovered most of Jiangxi, Hunan and northern Fujian, and suppressed rebellions and thieves several times during this period.

The biggest military victory at the end of the Song Dynasty was precisely fought by Wen Tianxiang.

Even if Yue Fei and Meng Gong are replaced, they may not play better than him.

On the contrary, Zhang Shijie pinched the elite soldiers and strong generals, defeated again and again, and fled again and again. even idle troops, sitting and watching Wen Tianxiang fight alone without helping.

Even the Southern Song Dynasty ministers, more than one person said to Kublai Khan: "The talent of the southerners is no one who is better than Wen Tianxiang." ”

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the three masters, headed by Wen. Not without reason.

It's a pity that his military and political talents were overshadowed by his literary talent and integrity. Under the historical aesthetics of judging heroes by success or failure, of course, it is generally believed that his military talent is not good.

But the so-called husband is not a wife. The Ouyang clan naturally knew Wen Tianxiang's talent, so he said that Li Luo knew people.

The housekeeper said flatteringly: "Madam, the king is very trusting of the king. The king not only sent someone to rescue Jiajun, but also forgot to put on his shoes when he greeted Jiajun. These are not secrets, and now there is a new drama, which is called "Tang Wang's Foot to Welcome Wenshan". The king came to Wenfu twice, and called the gentleman Mr. but not his name. ”

Mrs. Ouyang waved her hand to let the housekeeper go down, and said to Liu Nianghuanniang: "The king has a great favor to our Wen family. Be women, but do not forget. ”

"Yes." The two daughters solemnly agreed together.

At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside, and someone shouted: "Jiajun has returned home!" ”

Immediately afterward, a clear and familiar voice came with surprise: "Where is Madame!" ”

Mrs. Ouyang's body trembled, and she was about to rush out with joy, but for some reason, she was suddenly so nervous that she couldn't take a step.

And the two daughters have already been welcomed out.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency!"

Liu Niang and Huanniang rushed to the familiar figure, crying and bowing.

"Hurry up!" Wen Tianxiang was both happy and distressed, and hurriedly pulled his two daughters up, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings and burst into tears.

It's been seven years.

At that time, they were two children, and now they are both big girls.

Remembering that there were only two of his eight children left, Wen Tianxiang was distressed again.

"Husband." Mrs. Ouyang finally appeared in front of Wen Tianxiang and solemnly bowed, "I haven't seen you for seven years, my husband is fine." ”

It's a courtesy.

Wen Tianxiang raised his head violently, looking at the woman in front of him with sideburns like frost and vicissitudes on her face, he was stunned for a moment, and then connected the woman in front of him with the red-faced wife and beautiful woman of the year.

How many times have I had nine curved intestines, lovesickness has become a disease, and I am always confused when I recall the past. Now that person is in front of him, he is really like a dream, speechless and choked.

"Ying Niang..."Wen Tianxiang smiled with tears, "It's really you, Ying Niang." ”

He stepped forward, and regardless of his daughter's side, he held Mrs. Ouyang's hand a little unlovingly, and swallowed: "Over the years, you have suffered... Your hand... How did it become like this..."

The pair of white and soft wattles that were originally good at reading Zhong Xuanxiao Kai and playing the seven-stringed yaoqin have now become rough and scarred.

"The husband suffered even more. What happened to the concubine is not worth it, that is, she was born early, and she didn't know it. Mrs. Ouyang said with a sad smile.

"Yes! Recognize! Wen Tianxiang smiled with tears in his eyes, he knew what his wife was worried about.

What woman is not afraid of old age?

After the reunion of the family of four, they expressed their heartfelt feelings, and brought out the pain of this long-term separation, and it was really embarrassing to say what happened to them, and they felt like they would live for the rest of their lives.

Mrs. Ouyang quickly regained her state, took out the posture of being the housewife, and ordered a reunion banquet to be rectified.

When the banquet was ready, the family of four sat together happily.

"We're reunited as a family, thanks to the king!" Wen Tianxiang arched his hand and said, "If it weren't for the king, we would only be able to gather in Jiuquan." ”

He raised his glass, "This glass of wine, I will pay homage to the king." After saying that, he raised his glass to the north and dried it again.

Mrs. Ouyang nodded, "Wait until tomorrow, the concubine will bring the two daughters into the palace to ask to see the queen to thank the king for his kindness." This cup of wine, the concubine body also respects the king first! "After all, it's also a northern salute.

Liu Niang and Huan Niang also toasted to the north.

As soon as Mrs. Ouyang returned to Lin'an, the Ministry of Rites told her that the king had sealed her a decree. According to the system, she is qualified to enter the palace to see the queen.

The family drank the reunion wine, and Mrs. Ouyang said: "Husband, there is no doubt that the king must be the male lord Mingjun, otherwise the husband will not be willing to be a Tang minister." The concubine was in the Yuan Palace, and I heard that the king was originally a descendant of Li Tang and a high-ranking official in the Yuan court. once used the identity of the Goryeo clan to deceive the Yuan court. ”

Wen Tianxiang said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, it is the eunuchs of the Yuan Court Palace, and they all know about the Great King Longqian." Yes, it's all true, and it's no secret. If he can't bear the humiliation, how can the king immigrate to Haidong and take it as the foundation? ”

Liu Niang pouted and said: "There are many people in the Yuan Court who slander the king, and there are many people who speak ill of the king. There are also many lieutenants, in order to please their masters, they even took the initiative to practice the art of disgust and curse the king. ”

Huanniang sneered: "The master is not in a hurry, but the minions are in a hurry." What is the use of people like the king, no matter how tired they are? ”

Mrs. Ouyang said with a little hesitation: "There is one thing, the concubine doesn't know whether to let her husband return to the king." ”

Wen Tianxiang immediately put down his wine glass, "Madam, please say, what is the matter?" ”

Mrs. Ouyang was a little embarrassed, and her expression was a little strange, "After the concubine got the news of the Yuan Court's replacement, many palace servants and maids in the weaving bureau knew about it. A waste concubine named Jin Guangruo came to me and asked me to bring a message to the king for her. ”

What the?

Wen Tianxiang didn't know about the existence of Jin Guangruo, he frowned, "Bring a word to the king?" What to bring? Who is this woman? ”

Mrs. Ouyang smiled bitterly: "This Jin Guangruo is the daughter of the Jin family, the Goryeo gate valve. Previously, the king conquered the day and the more he won a big victory, which increased her face, allowing her to make an exception and be named Concubine Li, and she was very proud for two years, and she was very favored for a while. ”

"But since the king raised his army and endured humiliation and borrowed the identity of the Goryeo people was revealed, this golden light was unlucky. It is said that she once spoke well to the king in front of Kublai Khan more than once, and was guilty of deception and bewitchment, and was deposed as a concubine. ”

"After she was deposed, she was often practiced by the concubines and palace eunuchs, and she was also asked to wash her clothes and empty the toilet, but she really suffered a lot of crimes."

Wen Tianxiang sighed and said, "She must resent the king." If you are asked to bring it, it is nothing more than a word of resentment. I still can't help her with this, so as not to upset the king and add to the trouble. ”

Mrs. Ouyang shook her head and said, "That's not a word of resentment. She said, "Please don't forget her." If she dies, ask the king to redeem her bones and send her back to Goryeo for burial. ”

Wen Tianxiang said: "Although it is not a word of resentment, it is extremely resentful." ”

"It's better for the husband to tell the king about this. After all, this person has something to do with the king, and it is better not to hide it as a courtier. Besides, it's not a taboo. ”

Wen Tianxiang thought for a while, "Then tell the king." Wait, I'm going to go into the palace to thank the king, and by the way, I'll say this sentence a little bit. ”

In the afternoon, Wen Tianxiang entered the palace to thank him. When the monarch and the minister were alone, Wen Tianxiang finally brought that sentence.

Li Luo listened and said very casually: "The widow knows." Mr. Wen doesn't have to go to court these days, so he stays home with his family. Wait a few days, and then let the lady enter the palace to see the queen. ”

"King Xie, the minister will retire."

When Wen Tianxiang retreated, Li Luo also left Lingxu Pavilion and came to Cui Xiuning's Furong Pavilion.

"You guys get out." Li Luo waved his hand to let the surrounding palace maids out.

"What's wrong?" Cui Xiuning found that Li Luo's expression was a little weird, as if he had encountered something unexpected.

Li Luo said with a smile: "Jin Guangruo asked Mrs. Wen to bring me a message, saying that if she died, please redeem her bones and send her back to Goryeo for burial." ”

Speaking of which, Jin Guangruo can be regarded as having helped him, at least her pillow wind was still somewhat useful at that time.

Of course, saying that it sounds good is called helping each other, and saying that it is bad is just taking advantage of each other.

"I'll go." Cui Xiuning put down the pen, "This is playing the sad card, she didn't suffer in vain, she became smarter." ”

ps: Today my mom is here, I'm looking for a place for her to live, and after being busy, I can only update so much. The reward of Lord Qizi, the leader of the new alliance of crabs, will have to wait until the day after tomorrow for Lord Qizi. There are really too few tickets now, or begging for votes, I can't complain, data is really important. Good night everyone!
