Chapter 144: The Zhao Family's Father and Son
In Guo's mansion, when Guo Wei took his son and son-in-law to plan for the future, in another mansion, Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin, father and son, were also talking with candles. It's just that compared to the atmosphere of the Guo Mansion, the relationship between the father and son of the Zhao family is much more relaxed.
The Zhao Mansion is located in the northeast of Tokyo, far away from the imperial city, but close to the North City, only separated by a lifang, on weekdays, standing on the attic of the house, you can see the magnificent scenery of the city. The entire mansion does not occupy a wide area, it is very ordinary, as if reflecting the status of the Zhao family in the Northern Han Dynasty.
In the house, there are a lot of people, in addition to the family, counting the servants and the subordinates, there are more than 60 people in the family. In the first two years, Zhao Hongyin's father and son successively served abroad, and Zhao's mother Du was in charge of internal and external affairs, educating their children, and the family style was very strict.
Such as Guo Wei, such as Zhao Hongyin, and even Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, they can have such career achievements in the original history, and they are inseparable from a good wife and mother.
Zhao Hongyin in the winter of the third year of Qianyou, Feng Zhao led the army to follow Ruan to crusade against the northwest rebels, and once he went, it was a year, until the last year, before Liu Chengyou Yuxing Huainan, there was a result, killing cattle, pheasants and beards, and surrendered one after another.
After a year of fighting abroad, experiencing the bitter cold of fighting, and after the beginning of spring, he returned, with a body full of wind and dust, and a few scars, and recuperated here in Tokyo.
Zhao Hongyin is brave, strong, resolute and elegant, which has a great influence on Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin also respects his father very much. Returned to the house and served in person.
"My son has been away for three years, and now he has returned, but he has made great achievements and made such a reputation!" Looking at Zhao Kuangyin, although Zhao Hongyin's tone was not turbulent, the happiness in his eyes was overflowing.
"If it weren't for my father's teachings, I wouldn't be where I am today!" In front of his father, Zhao Kuangyin looked very deferential.
Waving his hand, Zhao Hongyin said: "Since you were a child, you have been alone, floating in the rivers and lakes, in chaos, in troubled times, after the suffering, you have today." These, after all, still rely on my son's talent! ”
Listening to what Zhao Hongyin said, Zhao Kuangyin also seemed to recall the difficult time when you were wandering in the state and county, sending people under the fence, increasing your knowledge, and sharpening your mind.
"This time in Huainan, although there are military exploits, but is there only one person in the army?" Coming back to his senses, Zhao Kuangyin said.
"Not arrogant or impatient, very good!" Zhao Hongyin couldn't help but bow his head, and he was even more satisfied with the maturity of his second son.
Or there were some mood swings, Zhao Hongyin couldn't help coughing a few times, seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly stepped forward and stroked his back: "Father should take care of his body!" ”
Shaking his head, Zhao Hongyin looked open-minded: "I have fought all my life, and I have accumulated a lot of wounds on my body, but I am just an old disease, so I don't have to worry about it." We are waiting for the military ministers, fighting with their lives, so that we have today's Gaomen Juelu!
This time, you and I, father and son, can be regarded as using force and merit to get a future in this Han Dynasty, between the military and the government, and finally my Zhao family, a place! ”
"Why did my father mention this?" Regarding Zhao Hongyin's emotion, Zhao Kuangyin was a little surprised.
Zhao Hongyin looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said a little seriously: "Although my father is only a martial artist and has seen ugliness, he has been in the army for 30 years, after three generations of dynasties, and decades of changes in the world, he has gained a little or less.
As far as I can see, the son of heaven of today's Han Dynasty is no less wise and wise than Zhuangzong and Mingzong at the beginning. More importantly, the Son of Heaven is still young and wealthy, and he has achieved such feats in just a few years after succeeding to the throne.
When the male lord is born, the country is stable, and there are few internal troubles, and external worries must be eliminated. If nothing else, in the eyes of my father, it may not take many years for the world to return to unity! ”
"My Zhao family has no ambitions, but when this big change occurs, I also have to seize the opportunity for ideas, and seek a long-term blessing for future generations!" Zhao Hongyin said, his face full of emotion: "It's useless for my father, and at this age, I'm still just a fighter, and I can't provide you with much help......
"Father, don't say that!" Zhao Kuangyin stroked his father's hand and said solemnly: "The son's body is all from his father, and he is already a grace if the sky is high, how can he ask for it!" Moreover, fame and wealth are rich, but you can win it with one hand! ”
"Haha! My son's ambition is bound to be successful! Patting Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder, Zhao Hongyin said: "It's a pity, now the Zhao family is sparse, and your younger brothers have not yet grown up, otherwise you can still have some helpers to support each other." In the future, the burden of my Zhao family will be shouldered by you......"
While the Zhao father and son were talking, a young man suddenly poked his head out of the door and looked in, his hair had not yet been tied, his face was immature, but his eyes were full of cleverness.
The person who came was Zhao Hongyin's third son, Zhao Kuangyi, who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and like Zhao Kuangyin, he also grew up in the barracks, and he was very intelligent, and under the education of his mother Du, he was even more outstanding.
Seeing the third son, Zhao Hongyin beckoned to him: "San Lang, come in!" ”
With permission, Zhao Kuangyi entered and saluted his father and brother in a proper manner: "Daddy, second brother!" ”
"Sit!" Zhao Hongyin pointed to his seat with a smile on his face, and said to him.
Zhao Kuangyin was beside him, looked at the third brother, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but the third brother has grown up!" ”
"Dad, second brother, what are you talking about?" At this time, Zhao Kuangyi was a little in awe of his father and brother, but he couldn't bear the young man's temperament and asked curiously.
"Without him, just talk about the war in Huainan!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around a few times smartly, looking at Zhao Kuangyin expectantly: "Second brother, can you tell me about it, I have also learned a military book recently, and I am familiar with the way of soldiers, maybe we can discuss and discuss the art of war, please teach the second brother!" ”
"At such a young age, so arrogant!" Zhao Hongyin immediately reprimanded: "If you read a book of war, you dare to claim to know the art of war, you don't know the height of the sky!" ”
After being trained, Zhao Kuangyi's face suddenly became bitter. Zhao Kuangyin saw it and said to his father: "Father is angry, San Lang has a studious and enterprising heart, which is rare, I am my brother, and I only have the responsibility of teaching!" ”
Zhao Hongyin's expression was softened, he looked at the third son, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi reacted and said, "It's getting late, my mother asked me to ask, my father and second brother, have you finished talking, the prepared dinner is almost cold......
At this time, Zhao Hongyin couldn't sit still, so he took the two brothers and hurriedly went to the hall. Although Zhao Hongyin is the head of the family, in the house, Du Shi actually says the same, and he also respects his wife.
When Zhao Kuangyin returned home, he was relatively late, and he talked with his father for a long time. In the dead of night, everyone else has rested, but Zhao Hongyin's family is happy and sharing the family banquet.
……
At the foot of the southeast foot of the imperial city, a noble mansion, the plaque book "Wang", is the palace of the three envoys Wang Zhang. Although he is still in the third office, a year and a half has passed, and Wang Zhang has completely ignored political affairs.
Now Wang Zhang is already on the sickbed, accompanied by medicinal stones all day long, his appearance is withered, and he looks like he has run out of oil and dried up.
His daughter and her son-in-law Zhang Yisu were kneeling in front of the couch at this time, a little sad.
Although Wang Zhang was struggling, his tone was quite calm, and he didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Zhang Yisu: "With this crippled body, I'm afraid that I won't last long, and after I die, there will be no one in the court to protect you."
The old man has no children under his knees, only one daughter, you are my son-in-law, and all the money you earn will be handed over to you! ”
Falling asleep, Wang Zhang paused, panting, looking like he was out of strength, listening to his words, he was actually making a will.
Wang was beside him, crying, and Zhang Yisu was also moved: "Why did the woman say this? Please also rest assured that you will be raised, do not worry about anything else! ”
"I'm terminally ill, and I can't be cured by medicine!" Wang Zhang looked very open and asked Zhang Yisu: "Do you know, why did I let you follow the expedition to Huainan this time?" ”
Zhang Yi bowed and said: "Please teach the woman!" ”
Wang Zhang said slowly: "Although you don't have the talent to run the country, you are better than being steady and cautious, and you are less competitive and motivated. If I am here, there will be no obstacle to the move, and if I am not there, I can be worried.
This time, fight for an old face, so that you can serve the Son of Heaven closely. ”
As he spoke, Wang Zhang grabbed his son-in-law's hand tightly with a thin hand, and said solemnly: "You must remember one thing, do things for officials in the court, be loyal to the Son of Heaven, act according to the edict, and don't think about it, you can keep peace and wealth......"
