Chapter 114: Eldest Sun Sheng dies of illness
、、、、、、、、、、
Then, Zhang Xutuo pointed to the sallow man beside him and said, "This is my deputy general Qin Qiong, the word Uncle Bao." It's my right-hand man! ”
"Qin Qiong? I didn't expect another one of the door gods to see it. "Yu Ming already has some immunity to ancient celebrities after seeing the process of biting gold. Although there was still some surprise in my heart, my face was still the same.
"The last general, Qin Qiong, see General Yu!" Qin Qiong took a step forward at this time and saluted Yu Ming respectfully.
Yu Ming hurriedly returned the salute, and then said softly: "General Qin followed General Zhang to sweep away the bandits in Shandong, and his achievements were impressive, so that Zai Xia also deeply admired!" ”
After Qin Qiong heard this, she was slightly surprised. He is still an unknown general, and he has made some achievements, but because they are all victories to suppress the peasant rebellion, the gold content is not high, so he is still only a general, several levels behind Yuming. He never expected that Yuming had also heard of him.
Zhang Xutuo's eyes flickered, and after his pupils shrank, Fang pointed to the general with white skin and slender fingers and said: "This is my beloved general Luo Shixin, and his archery skills are also quite good." In the future, you will have the opportunity to cut it again. ”
Luo Shixin also raised his head at this time, made a gesture to Yuming, and then hung down without saying a word, it seemed that he was a taciturn person.
Yu Ming then introduced his subordinates, such as Guo Yi, Lin Mo, Luo Cheng, etc., to Zhang Xutuo.
Seeing that both sides had already introduced their respective generals, Yue Zeng Province urged them to handle the defense handover, and he also wanted to go back to the Eastern Capital.
Yuming had no choice but to lead Zhang Xutuo to inspect the barracks. Because in this broken army, except for the five personal soldiers, he couldn't take the other soldiers away, so he had to hand them over to Zhang Xutuo.
"General Zhang, the defense has been handed over to you, these soldiers are brave brothers, I hope you can treat them well!" Yu Ming reminded.
Zhang Xutuo, as a general who has led the army for many years, how could he not hear that Yuming is words are in his words. He stared at Yu Ming with a pair of sharp eyes, stared at it for a moment, and then Fang said lightly: "General Yu rest assured!" I won't mess with your organization, your people are still yours, and I may not be used to it. In the coming year, Your Majesty may go on an expedition to Goryeo, and you will be considered a general with rich experience in fighting against Goryeo. I'm afraid we'll be fighting together in the future. ”
Yuming heard Zhang Xutuo say this, Fang relieved his heart, it seems that this person is really a hero, acting above board, and his heart is full of consideration for the Great Sui. Of course, if Zhang Xutuo really wanted to annex his troops, he also prepared several ways to obstruct and create trouble for Zhang Xutuo. But now it seems that it is not needed for the time being.
"Thank you, General Zhang! I hope that in the coming year, we will beat the Korean people together! Yuming also held Zhang Xutuo's hand tightly and thanked him solemnly.
At this time, a cold wind blew, and a few yellowed leaves fell, which made Lin Mo, the young general on the side, shiver.
"The north wind is blowing, and it won't be long before Liaodong will become a land of ice and snow. Operation Grand Army will not be able to be carried out. Let's hurry up and return to the Eastern Capital! Yu Ming looked around at the general beside him and said.
"Good!" The generals responded in unison. They also want to go back to their home in the eastern capital.
……
In Luoyang in November, it had just snowed heavily, and the entire city was shrouded in a layer of silver makeup.
Yu Ming returned to his home, pushed open the door, and originally thought that the eldest grandson Wujian would pounce into his arms like a bird. But it was found that the room was empty.
This frightened him, so he hurriedly ran out, ready to ask his mother Xiao Wanjun for clarification.
However, just as he stepped out of the gate of the small courtyard, Xiao Wanjun suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Ming'er, I heard your father say that you should be back in the next few days, and I was trying to help you clean the house, but I didn't expect you to come back today......" She stroked Yuming's face at this time, and said distressedly: "You have grown taller, but you have lost weight, it seems that it is still very difficult in Liaodong......"
Yu Ming hurriedly saluted his mother, and then asked anxiously, "Mother, where is Wuji?" Where did she go? ”
"Unsullied? She went back to her parents' house to keep filial piety! Xiao Wanjun was stunned for a moment, and then Fang explained.
"What? Filial piety? Who died in the eldest grandson's family? When Yu Ming heard this, he was also surprised.
"The head of the eldest grandson family, Changsun Sheng, passed away ten days ago. In the past six months, many hungry people have poured into the eastern capital, and there are many more epidemics in the city than before. Doctor Liu Feng even said that these epidemics should have been brought into the city by hungry people. A few days ago, the Holy One had given an order to drive all the hungry people out of the city and set up another tent to settle them in. In the past two days, the officials in the city have been busy arresting people. Xiao Wanjun sighed lightly.
Yu Ming was also embarrassed, but he didn't expect his father-in-law to pass away.
"Mother, then I'll go to the eldest grandson's house right away, it's reasonable, I should go to pay respects!" Yuming is colorful.
Xiao Wanjun nodded, and then watched Yu Ming, who had just returned home, step on the horse and go to the eldest grandson's house.
When Yuming arrived at the eldest grandson's house, he saw that all the people who came in and out were dressed in black and white filial piety clothes, and everyone had a look of grief on their faces.
After he explained his identity to the porter, a steward hurriedly and respectfully welcomed him into the mourning hall, after all, Yuming's current identity and status were higher than that of Changsun Wuji, the new head of the Changsun family.
After Yuming entered the mourning hall, he saw the eldest grandson who was already crying like pear blossoms and rain. She was dressed in a snow-white filial piety dress, with a white silk tied on her head, her goose-egg-shaped little face looked very delicate, her beautiful big eyes were already red from crying, and her long eyelashes were still wet. She didn't realize that Yu Ming had already entered the mourning hall, still kneeling on the ground, looking at her father's eldest Sun Sheng's spirit card with teary eyes.
"Innocent, I'm back!" Yuming also changed into filial piety clothes, and after putting on white flowers, he knelt beside the eldest grandson Wujian.
When the eldest grandson Wujian saw his haunting husband come back, he couldn't help crying, threw himself into his arms, and sobbed: "Brother Ming, do you know? For the past six months, I have been thinking about you, dreaming of you every night when I sleep. I can't wait to rush to Liaodong to meet you immediately! After hearing that you were left behind, my heart was even more angry, but fortunately, God is pitiful, you are finally back......"
Yuming hugged the little beauty in his arms, smelled her hair, felt her soft delicate body, couldn't help but kiss her cherry mouth hard, and then said: "Wuji, don't you think I'm fine now?" Your husband is stronger than you think! ”
Just when the two of them were talking to each other, there was a heavy cough on the side: "Cough...... Cough...... Innocent, Amin, I think you two should pay attention. After all, this is a mourning hall! ”
Yu Ming looked back and saw that it was his eldest uncle, the eldest grandson Wuji.
When the eldest grandson Wujian heard his brother say this, his pretty face suddenly blushed, and he quickly broke free from Yuming's embrace.
At this time, Yu Ming solemnly offered incense to his father-in-law, and then knelt in the mourning hall with his eldest grandson Wujian.
When it was time to eat, he sat with the people of the eldest grandson's family, and he heard many people whispering: "The master is now dead, what will the eldest grandson's family do in the future?" ”
"Our eldest grandson's family is thin, and Young Master Wuji is the most outstanding person, and he is the eldest son, and it is undisputed that he will inherit the position of the head of the family."
"There is definitely no dispute about the position of the head of the family, but Young Master Wuji is just a Huangmen squire, what can I do?"
"Isn't the Yellow Gate Squire an official of Zhengsi? It should be pretty good! ”
"The official is not low, but it's just an idle job! It's often some pensioners who go to ......"
After hearing this, Yuming sighed lightly, Changsun Sheng was dismissed from his post as the secretary of Honglu Temple because he opposed Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo again during the court meeting last year. The old family road tended to fall in the middle, and some of the original good friends and courtiers also began to alienate the eldest grandson's family.
"Alas, no matter what era it is, there is always a majority of philistine." He muttered.
At this moment, a gray-haired old woman walked to Yu Ming's side on crutches.
The eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting next to Yu Ming, was startled, and quickly stood up, bowed to the old woman, and said, "Hello grandmother! ”
This old woman was none other than the grandmother of the eldest grandson.
Yu Ming was also busy and bowed respectfully to the old lady.
"Good...... What a son-in-law! I heard that you have made great contributions in Liaodong and have been rewarded and promoted by the Holy Lord, which is much better than my unangry grandson Wuji......" The eldest grandson and old lady sighed with an old sigh.
Yu Ming saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was next to her, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and said modestly: "Grandmother has won the award, and my grandson-in-law is just a fluke to make a small contribution, and Brother Wuji is also a great achievement, so his talent is no worse than me!" ”
"My grandson is a little talented, but he is affected by my unfilial piety. After a trip to Liaodong, all of you have been promoted, and my grandson is just a Huangmen squire with no real job. How can our eldest grandson's family hold their heads up......" The old lady immediately wiped away her tears.
Yu Ming hurriedly persuaded: "Maybe there is a more important reward that has not been announced." The last time I went on an expedition to Goryeo, I was appointed after a few months. Look at your old man! ”
"Alas, it's better for your Yu family! I heard that Ling Zu has become the secretary of the military department, right? The old lady wiped away her tears and sighed.
"The ancestor is also a coincidence......" Yu Ming scratched the back of his head and said. He had already seen that the old lady wanted to ask Yushu to find an errand for the eldest grandson Wuji.
Sure enough, when the old lady hit the snake with the stick, she immediately grabbed Yu Ming's hand and said, "Good son-in-law, my wife wants to ask you to seek a real job for Wuji, instead of the idle job of the Huangmen squire...... And I can guarantee that Mowgli definitely has the ability to do it, because he has learned about related matters since he was a child......"
"Oh, what kind of official position is that?" Yu Ming asked curiously.
