Chapter 57: Resignation

When spring arrived, the first warm sun appeared, and Liang Jun, who had been hiding in the hole for two months, finally came out to breathe.

Zuo Sanxiang and Liu Jingchuan also took the big cat out of the city early to see if the seeds sown in late autumn last year were still alive in Tuntian.

They were accompanied by rats that had just come out of their holes and some foxes and wild dogs.

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, but if the rats are allowed to dig out the seeds from the ground and eat them, thousands of us will starve to death!"

As soon as Liu Jingchuan finished speaking, the big cat had already broken away from his arms to chase the mouse.

"This is the natural enemy, nemesis, although this cat follows us to eat and sleep warmly, but it is its nature to catch mice, this heavenly creation is really a thing descending a thing! Lao Liu, the two of us are going back in a few days, what else do you want? ”

Zuo Sanxiang asked Liu Jingchuan if he still had any wishes, Liu Jingchuan closed his eyes and thought about it, "There is one wish, and that is to take a look at the place where the new Anxi Protectorate is located!" Doesn't Zuo Shuai have this wish? ”

"Hahaha, you can see it, I really want to go to the Ili River Valley to have a look! Hu Xiya and MCA said that it was a treasure land, but I haven't had a chance to see it yet! ”

"Forget it, Zuo Shuai and I will act according to the order, and the rest of what we think is nothing more than a flash in the pan!"

Looking at Liu Zhong and Chao Lun who came over, Liu Jingchuan spoke.

"Pit handsome? Handsome? ”

"Li Dashuai? Pit handsome? We've all done great things! ”

"Understood, gentleman is far away from cooking! Zuo Shuai doesn't kill people, but let us kill people! ”

"How to speak! Zuo Shuai will always be our handsome! ”

"Without Zuo Shuai, we are just a mess! Only when Zuo Shuai is there, we are like people! ”

"Zuo Shuai and Master Liu are gone! Leave my brothers here? ”

"Yes, your Lord Zuo and Lord Liu will return to the high-ranking officials of the court, and we are still waiting here! Brothers, my heart is sour! ”

The third phase of the left and Liu Jingchuan immediately clapped their palms and laughed.

"Okay, good, we will succeed and the bones will wither, let's go back to Beijing to enjoy it first, and prepare a banquet in the capital to wait for the brothers to return!"

"Hahaha, don't blame Zuo Shuai and Lord Liu, the brothers are just jokes! Zuo Shuai has made such a great contribution to the country, and the brothers have also been rewarded! This kindness will never be forgotten by the brothers in this life! ”

"Zuo Shuai's kindness to me, I will repay Zuo Shuai as a cow and a horse in the next life!"

"Brothers, it's serious, in this life, there are a group of good brothers like you who share weal and sorrow in life and death, and Zuo's life is enough!"

"Zuo Shuai and I haven't left yet, you are so enthusiastic today, don't you want to let us go?" Liu Jingchuan picked up a piece of snow-covered dirt and carefully examined the seeds inside.

Everyone laughed, "It's to get rid of Lord Liu and Zuo Shuai, otherwise two more people will have to eat, haha"

"If you don't want to starve, you have to take turns in the fields these days to drive away all the wild dogs and rats that come in! Food is grown, not saved! ”

Zuo Sanxiang bent down and squatted down to look at the field in front of him, and reached out to pick up a pile and put it into his purse.

Everyone was puzzled, "Zuo Shuai doesn't even want to take away the money, but this dirt is put in his pocket, is it to keep a thought?" ”

"Zuo Shuai, the jade here is exquisite, why don't you bring it back and let the adults in the court open their eyes?"

"Yes, there are so many treasures here, why did Zuo Shuai choose dirt? Could it be that he is worried about being framed by villains? ”

Zuo Sanxiang got up and looked at everyone with a very serious expression, "This is the most precious thing in my Great Liang, I want to take it back for the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs to see, the Western Regions is not a wild place, and the Western Regions can never be abandoned!" The land here can grow grain the same, and it will not be worse than the Central Plains! ”

Liu Jingchuan's expression also became serious: "Zuo Shuai returned to Beijing to offer the most valuable treasure, and it is also in vain for our bloody sacrifice in the past few years!" Not forgetting the legacy of our ancestors! ”

"Follow the teachings of the two adults, after the two adults go back, let's find a way to let us go home early, the parents, wives and children at home may not be worried about what will happen!"

"Please send someone to report after the two adults return to Beijing, saying that my Agui is not dead yet"

"It's a pity that the two adults can't take many things with them, otherwise all my rewards will be brought back to my wife!"

At the mention of going home, everyone's eyes were rosy, and this topic could not be avoided, and Zuo Sanxiang also wiped his face, "Someone Zuo and Lord Liu will write a letter to you from today onwards, you can press your handprint, and write what you can write yourself." After we return to Beijing, we will send all these more than 1,000 letters to your homes! ”

Many people immediately knelt down in ecstasy to thank him, but a few cried, "Zuo Shuai, I don't need it, I'm alone at home!" ”

"Zuo Shuai, I don't need it anymore, my family died of illness before I became a soldier!"

"I don't need it anymore, my family left ten years ago, and I died."

Zuo Sanxiang and Liu Jingchuan each walked over to appease these poor people, "In this case, we recommend to Dadu Hu that you go to Yili, find a woman over there to start a family, and spread out here to be a military household in the Duhu Mansion!" ”

"Xie Zuoshuai's great grace, I can finally get rid of my cheap status!"

"We're finally not cheap!"

When it came to lowly status, others also spoke

"I hope that Zuo Shuai will be perfected and help us brothers get rid of their cheap status!"

"Please, Zuo Shuai, my poor parents, wife and children are still suffering, if they can get rid of their lowly status, they don't have to work so hard!"

As soon as Zuo Sanxiang saw that more than 300 people asked him to help wash away his lowly status, he made a difficulty, and the first few people were just a matter of one person. At present, these hundreds of people involve hundreds of families and corresponding families.

Hundreds of families and thousands of people have lost their lowly status, which means that these thousands of people do not have to pay the property handed over to the family every year, and for the family, they will never agree.

But if you don't agree to them, these hundreds of people will make trouble on the spot, Zuo Sanxiang raised his hand at them, "There are too many people involved in this matter, I have to go back to face the saint, and wait for the emperor to order you to wash away your cheap status!" ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately stopped doing it on the spot, "Zuo Shuai, can't you call the shots about this?" ”

"Zuo Shuai, we fought and bleed for this idea of getting rid of our lowly status! Even if we die, our children and grandchildren can go to school and not be untouchables, and that's worth it! ”

"Aren't our exploits enough to clear our name?"

Seeing that the scene was about to be uncontrollable, Zuo Sanxiang coughed, "Ahem, you are in the army now, who dares to say that you are pariahs?" My left third phase is also from a cheap background, but I have never looked down on myself! Thousands of people want to wash off their untouchables at once, and they have to come in batches, and I promise you that you will wash your own untouchables first, and your family members will have to be ordered by the imperial court to get rid of their untouchables! It's a court system, no

Can mess up! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, when did Zuo Dashuai deceive you? He washed away the lowly status of more than 300 of you at once, and he already had a lot to do with it! More than 300 people have to pay money a year enough for your master family to unite to falsely accuse and frame Zuo Shuai! ”

As soon as they heard that Zuo Sanxiang was going to take such a big risk, everyone was so ashamed that they lowered their heads, but no one said that they didn't want Zuo Sanxiang to help them clear their lowly status.

Their desire to get rid of their lowly status is too strong, and it is the desire of several generations, and as for Zuo Sanxiang being falsely accused and framed, it has nothing to do with them.

The other good men and soldiers spoke for Zuo Sanxiang at this time, "Brothers, Zuo Shuai treats us like a mountain, we can't let Zuo Shuai take such a big risk!" Let's take a long-term view! ”

Zuo Sanxiang waved his hand: "I Zuo Sanxiang will do what he says!" Needless to say! ”

Liu Zhong and Chao Lun, who were checking the ditch in the distance, rushed over when they heard the sound and asked about what happened just now, and Liu Jingchuan told Liu Zhong everything.

Liu Zhong looked at everyone, "Everyone, this matter is not difficult, and there is no need for Zuo Shuai to take risks, I will write a secret letter and hand it to Zuo Shuai to present to the emperor, and I will wash your entire family's cheap status." I'm a eunuch, I have no children and no daughters, and I don't have to worry about any impeachment retaliation! ”

Zuo Sanxiang held Liu Zhong's hand, "Dadu Hu, you are against the entire court, Zuo admires!" Zuo and all the soldiers thank you together! ”

As he spoke, Zuo Sanxiang knelt down in front of Liu Zhong, and everyone also knelt down together, "Most of them are as heavy as a mountain, and we will follow them to the death!" ”

Liu Zhong also hurriedly knelt down for Zuo Sanxiang, "Zuo Shuai, how can this be made!" I'm a eunuch, how can I receive a great gift from a famous general like you? Torment me! ”

Zuo Sanxiang helped Liu Zhong to get up together, "My Zuo Sanxiang has been arrogant all my life, and there are not many people who admire in my life. You deserve this worship! Soldiers, rest assured, under the gauntlets of Dadu, you will live better! Most of them are mighty! ”

"Dadu Protector is mighty!"

"Dadu Protector is mighty!"

The sound of the mountain cry was endless, Liu Zhong's eyes were moist and he motioned to the soldiers to stop several times, but no one listened, which was the gratitude of the soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Zhong helped Zuo Sanxiang back to the city, and along the way, Liu Zhong was grateful to Zuo Sanxiang, "Zuo Shuai left such a great favor to the younger brother to give, and the younger brother had nothing to repay, so he could only give Zuo Shuai a house in the capital!" ”

"I can't help it, I can't help it, I and you are both serving the country, I only hope that you can do a thousand times better than me here, and defend this land in the Western Regions, this is the best reward for me!"

Ten days later, Zuo Sanxiang and Liu Jingchuan set off from Luntai with 1,112 letters from their families and Liu Zhong's secret letters.

At the time of parting, Liu Zhong Chaolun took the soldiers to see him off, and Liu Zhong toasted Zuo Sanxiang and Liu Jingchuan with the wine sent back by MCA.

"The general went back to the east, and the strong man waved his sword to defend Ili! Ladies and gentlemen, Zuo and Master Liu left first. I am waiting for your good news in the capital! ”

"Dadu Hu, Jing Chuan wanted to drink with you for a few more years, but the imperial edict cannot be violated! The Tuntian compendium written by Jing Chuan has been handed over to Lord Chao! And that big cat, I hope most of them will take care of their lives and treat them well! ”

"Zuo Shuai, Master Liu, your teachings, the younger brother must all obey them, and I won't thank you for the great kindness of the two!"

"We are waiting for you in the capital! Goodbye! Launched! ”
