Chapter Twenty-Six: The Decree Is Coming
Everyone dispersed, but the third uncle did not leave with everyone.
He originally lived in Zhuangzi outside the city, and finally came to Chen's house, and at first he was worried about Chen Zhengtai.
But it suddenly occurred to me...... Oops, my grandson...... What about my grandchildren.
So he looked around and finally found Chen Zhengde.
Seeing that he was wearing an apron and carrying a bucket of pig food in his hand, he looked at it with a stupid look, as if he had also seen the third uncle, so he grinned happily and said happily: "Grandpa, grandpa......"
As soon as he saw his own grandson, the third uncle suddenly burst into tears, and hurriedly stepped forward, Chen Zhengde was black and thin, grinning and showing his teeth, looking stupid.
"Zhengde, you ...... You...... Look at you, oops......"
"Grandpa." Chen Zhengde raised his head, looked at the third uncle, and said, "I just saw Grandpa." β
"Then don't say hello, you, you ......" The third uncle's shriveled lips trembled, and old tears flowed.
"But...... The pig is going to give birth, grandpa, don't you know, yesterday it gave birth, the body is very weak, the postpartum care of this sow is extremely important. If the care is not careful, you can't get milk, that litter of cubs, you will be hungry and wah-wah, Uncle Ma has to go to duty during the day, only at night, this day, I have to take good care, grandpa, you don't know how good those cubs grow......"
Chen Zhengde said with great interest, dancing happily, and the third uncle's heart suddenly cooled.
Thinking of Chen Zhengtai, and then thinking of such a thing in front of him, his face was pulled down.
"Grandpa, why don't you speak, Grandpa, why is your face dark and gloomy, that sow has a cub, and it is not as ugly as Grandpa's face......"
The third uncle was so angry that his eyes darkened, and when he raised his hand, he slapped Chen Zhengde in the face.
Smack!
A heavy slap in the face.
Chen Zhengde was directly knocked over.
The third uncle roared: "You useless dog, I'm ...... I ......"
Flicked his sleeves and walked away with a sigh.
Chen Zhengde turned over and looked at Grandpa's distant back sluggishly, touched his hot face, and then sucked the snot that was about to flow out, and was silent.
After a long time, his face suddenly changed, and he muttered to himself: "It's terrible, I'm going to promote milk." β
So he picked up the bucket of rancid water that had been overturned on the ground, and trotted in the direction of the pigsty in a hurry.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Dou Kuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to enter the palace with a suspicious face.
This time the victory in Hexi, the Ministry of Rites reported the merits, for this matter, Dou Lukuan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not sleep all night.
Especially when the palace handed out a note, Dou Lukuan was puzzled.
He felt that no matter what, he should enter the palace to see His Majesty, so as not to misunderstand His Majesty's intentions.
While entering the palace, Dou Lukuan pondered in his heart...... Chen Zhengtai...... It seems that he is really His Majesty's protΓ©gΓ©, otherwise, how can he be so honored.
Seeing Li Shimin, Li Shimin was snuggling up, as if he was in poor health, he looked up at Dou Lukuan, and said lightly: "I just met the secretaries of the three provinces, and Dou Luqing is here again, let's talk, what's the matter?" β
Doulu is not surnamed Dou, surnamed Doulu, but a Xianbei person, his mother is very prominent, and she is the sister of Emperor Yang of Sui.
In fact, Dou Lukuan is not only a relative of Emperor Yang of Sui, in fact, he is also a relative of the royal family, after all...... The Li family, the current royal family, and the Yang family, the imperial family of the former Sui Dynasty, are also related.
So to a certain extent, the relationship between Li Shimin and Dou Lukuan is a bit like the so-called 'sister-in-law's nephew's brother-in-law's second uncle' like the folk.
Dou Lukuan glanced at Li Shimin cautiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered to make meritorious contributions to the soldiers, but they are just ...... One thing is not clear. β
Li Shimin looked a little weak, raised his eyes and glanced at Dou Lukuan: "What's the matter?" β
"This Chen Zhengtai ......"
Li Shimin sighed, pulled his face and said: "Although this son did not serve in the army, but the epidemic of the Western Expedition, he planned for it by my side, which can be regarded as a merit, is it wrong for me to be a county man?" β
"No, what does the minister mean ......" Dou Lukuan thought in his heart, if he is not a military meritor, he is not knighted, but His Majesty is eclectic, it can be seen that this Jian surnamed Chen is in the emperor's heart, it is really hell, the surname Chen can actually make a fortune.
He couldn't help but feel a little wave in his heart, and there was a feeling that even that kind of mental retardation was okay, and the prince and general Xiangning had a feeling.
But... He tried to make a deferential appearance: "What the minister means is that the place where the Chen clan has sealed the food is a bit strange, is it ......?"
Li Shimin was obviously not interested in continuing to entangle with Dou Lukuan, and waved his hand: "No need, just follow my wishes." β
Dou Lu shook his head widely, and had no choice but to bow his head: "Oh." β
Li Shimin took a sip of tea, and then ...... The eunuch beside him suddenly let out a strange cry: "Your Majesty ......"
Li Shimin looked at the eunuch with a puzzled expression, and then ...... The eunuch hurriedly took out the Jinpa...... In an instant, Li Shimin understood, he took Jinpa, wiped his nose, and sure enough...... It's bloody again.
This scene...... Dou Lu was dumbfounded.
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, the slave will go to pass the imperial doctor." β
"Go!" Li Shimin frowned, looking at the blood stains on the Jinpa, his brows furrowed, and there seemed to be a deep worry in the depths of his eyes.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chen Zhengtai got up early in the morning, washed up and went to breakfast, and heard that the piglets had been born, and he wanted to go and see after eating.
It seems that there are a thousand things waiting for him now, but no matter what, he is most concerned about that litter of piglets, after all...... That was my first thought when I came into this world, and it was very memorable.
came to the dining hall, but saw that the third uncle and father Chen Jiye were already sitting down for tea.
Seeing Chen Zhengtai coming, the third uncle immediately said excitedly: "Zhengtai, Zhengtai, you come, sit down, oops...... The old man is still a little worried, yesterday you went to see the driver, met His Majesty the Emperor, how did you play it right, you won't say any nonsense, the old man hasn't slept all night, I'm worried that you are still young, you don't know what, what you said, offended him. β
Chen Jiye was ready to go to the Salt and Iron Envoy to be on duty, but he was also very concerned about it.
My son is still young, if he offends Li Erlang's careful eye, God knows what will happen.
He looked at his son affectionately, waiting for his son's answer.
Chen Zhengtai said: "I discussed national affairs with my teacher, and then ...... It was to invite the teacher to eat soup, and then ...... My teacher had a nosebleed, so I quit. β
"Ah, Your Majesty is getting nosebleeds." The third uncle stomped his feet, and his face was so frightened that he turned miserable: "How can Your Majesty discuss national affairs with you, I think there is a conspiracy...... It must be...... He won't accept you as a protΓ©gΓ©, and he doesn't want to admit it when he lifts his pants and finds a reason to clean you up, right? Oops...... The emperor's heart is really unpredictable, and the companion is like a tiger. β
The third uncle will always be heartbroken.
Chen Zhengtai wanted to explain something.
There was a humane outside: "There is someone in the palace, there is an edict." β
Hearing the word edict, the Chen family cheered up.
Chen Zhengtai, the third uncle, and Chen Jiye were busy going to Zhongmen.
When he arrived at the middle gate, he saw a eunuch waiting anxiously, and then read out at the top of his voice: "The edict is ......."
As soon as they heard the word "Edict", Chen's father and the third uncle couldn't help but glance at each other and looked at each other.
But all edicts are generally edicts of officials and knights......
