Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dust Has Settled
Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers walked out of the poetry society manor,
As soon as he went out, he said:
"Young Master! How did you become like this? β
Lan Ziyi said angrily:
"What has become of me? Tell me about it? β
Tao Zhuhu grabbed Lan Ziyi's collar and pulled him to the creek, and Lan Ziyi saw his reflection in the water through the light.
This look woke Lan Ziyi up,
In the reflection in the water, he was fatter than before, his eyes were swollen, his eyes were blank, his eyes were dark, and he looked like he was indulging in wine and tired.
Lan Ziyi could barely recognize who the man in the water was,
These days, the teachings of the saints that have been forgotten by themselves, the weather of the border army, and the Gobi steppe have all poured into my mind.
Lan Ziyi paused, then stood hard, he felt himself dizzy, and then there was a feeling of being out of the body and coming back.
Lan Ziyi remembered the Tao brothers' small report again, and the recklessness of making himself embarrassed in the poetry club just now,
I was angry in my heart, so I said to this peach and tiger:
"Don't give me anything big or small, I told you, call me Weihou!"
Then the horse was drawn by the servant.
Although the Tao brothers felt uncomfortable when they saw this, Lan Ziyi had finally recovered some of his spirits, and the purpose of this trip to find someone had been achieved.
Then the four of them rode to the capital, and waited outside the west gate for the rooster to enter the city.
Lan Ziyi was going to drive the horse to the palace, but Tao Zhuhu said:
"Wei Hou, Father-in-law Yu wants to see you."
Lan Ziyi frowned, didn't ask more, turned his horse's head and walked towards the Zhaoxian Gate.
A few people ate the lesson last time, and this time they dismounted at a distance from the imperial bridge.
After Lan Ziyi got off the horse, he only felt top-heavy and out of breath, let alone running this little road before, he was not so tired when he was fighting sheep and horse thieves on the grassland, and he was really hollowed out by wine in the past few days.
Seeing this, Tao Zhutu handed over the water bladder, Lan Ziyi took two sips, breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to the Taicheng Guard Station with the Tao brothers.
Along the way, Lan Ziyi asked:
"What the hell is going on?"
The three brothers looked at each other, and finally Tao Zhuhu said:
"Yushitai sued the Marquis of Wei for rebellion."
Lan Ziyi was startled when he heard this, and exclaimed:
"How is this possible? It's just to impeach Luo Yingmin, saying that I have extenuating circumstances for violating the ban, and what is the matter with saying that I have rebelled? β
This time, Tao Zhuhu was embarrassed to say it, and Tao Zhulu asked on the side:
"Did Marquis Wei promise Zhou Buhui to give him a certain title?"
Lan Ziyi listened to this and quickly said:
"I am the same military commander of Beizhen as him, he was eaten and asked by the officials in the capital, and I asked my father to inherit the title for him in the name of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which only my father and I know. What's wrong with that? β
Tao Zhulu saw that Lan Ziyi had lost his dexterity in the past, his thinking was rigid, and he couldn't think of the doorway, so he twisted his head to the side in pain.
Peach Rabbit took over and said:
"This time, not only the Yushitai, but also all the civil officials in Beijing, big and small, wrote to impeach the Marquis Wei and the general, saying that the general not only instructed his son to interfere in the government affairs, but also to support forces in the army. The ministers said that since the founding of the dynasty, in order to prevent the border towns from being divided, the warlords have become bigger, and they have specially divided the military power into three parts, and the unified army has been under the control of Wu Xun, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel and the grain and grass equipment have been under the control of the imperial court. β
Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this, now that he thinks about it, this is indeed a truth, he was just thinking about pulling his brother at the time, and he didn't think about it so much at all, but is this matter really operating his father? This matter should have been mentioned in the last letter, but he Lan Ziyi didn't read it at all. Besides, my father should not make such a mistake.
However, Lan Ziyi still asked:
"Could it be that my father really ran for Zhou Buhui?"
Tao Zhuhu said at this time:
"This is the most incomprehensible part, the general didn't do anything at all and didn't let anyone else know about it, but there was such a big movement in the capital."
Lan Ziyi didn't speak again, and in his heart he had already turned the eighteenth generation of Zhou Buhui's bastard ancestor to the ground, this grandson sold himself, maybe Zhang Mingyue gave Zhou Buhui the title of commander.
Lan Ziyi paused and said:
"I'm here to talk about this today, right?"
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"The general has already taken care of this."
Lan Ziyi looked back at Tao Zhuhu with a puzzled expression.
At this time, several people had already arrived at the door of the lobby, and Lan Ziyi didn't have a chance to ask more, so he went into the house.
Bypassing the statue of Yue Fei in front, a few people came to the back hall, and Grandpa Yu was already sitting on the seat waiting for a few people.
Seeing Lan Ziyi come in, Father-in-law Yu put down the tea bowl in his hand and said:
"The food in the capital is so good? I haven't seen Wei Hou in a few days. β
Lan Ziyi's face turned red when he heard this, and he didn't speak, just saluted.
Father-in-law Yu waved his hand, motioned for a few people to take a seat, and then said:
"Now how can the adults in Beijing write a book to impeach you and your father, you, do you know?"
Lan Ziyi nodded and said:
"My brothers have already told me about it. I think it's time to ......"
ηε ¬ε ¬ says:
"Your dad has taken care of the matter."
Lan Ziyi frowned and said:
"Father? What did he do? β
Father-in-law Yu sighed and said:
"It's not hard to say, it's not easy to say. Your father, he just agreed to Zhang Mingyue's request. β
Lan Ziyi exclaimed:
"Did my father agree to emigrate to the grasslands?"
Father-in-law Yu nodded.
At this time, Lan Ziyi's head was running rapidly, and the brain that was anesthetized by alcohol also began to get rid of paralysis and began to move.
ε °εδΉ says:
"It won't take a few years for displaced people to enter the grassland to reclaim the wilderness, and the north will become a desert, and there will be the problem of herdsmen and farmers fighting for land, and the problem of supply along the way, this is to make the north smoke again!"
Father-in-law Yu waited for Lan Ziyi to finish speaking, and said:
"Yes, there are these problems, so your father asked the former military households and border people in Beizhen to go out of the fortress and half-plough and half-graze, and make room for the homeless."
Lan Ziyi couldn't say a word when he heard this method.
The border people are familiar with the grassland, and they will not reclaim the grassland into a desert like the displaced people, and after the war, the population has suffered serious losses, and now let the border people go in for a while and a half, and the grassland will not be degraded in the morning. Displaced people can settle down directly when they come to the north. The father's method can indeed alleviate the conflict. Just leaving the fortress is a lot of money, and the resettlement of displaced people has to distribute seeds, grain, plowing equipment, and so on, which is another big amount of money. In the past, the military households and border residents in the north lived a solid life, but now they can live as well as before when they move out of the country? Lan Ziyi understands that even if this move does not exhaust the foundation that Beizhen has saved over the years, the opening opened by the move will not be able to be filled in the future. This time it's really a soft knife to cut the domain.
As for whether there will be a riot, Lan Ziyi is not worried, the Lan family has been operating in the north for several generations, his father has responded to every call in Beizhen, and the people in the border town have always listened to their father, and there will be complaints at most when moving, and there will be no rebellion.
Lan Ziyi sat on his seat silently, and after waiting for a while, Father-in-law Yu asked sarcastically:
"I heard that Wei Hou has been mixing well recently, and he is drunk with the nobles in the capital, talking and laughing, and he is not comfortable."
Lan Ziyi's face turned red again, and he said:
"A gentleman will meet friends with words, and friends will help him. I'm just forgetting about these young talents. β
Father-in-law Yu snorted coldly:
"Don't give me a crepe, if you really go to meet friends with Wen, even if it's to make glamorous words, but what have you been doing these days?"
Lan Ziyi just wanted to question Father-in-law Yu not to talk nonsense, but after thinking about it, he swallowed the words back into his stomach, Father-in-law Yu is a Taichengwei, what is there in the world that he doesn't know?
Yu Gonggong then counted Lan Ziyi:
"Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long is to meet friends with literature? Drink day and night, call Yiyou Furen? This is the way those young masters in the capital play, your Lan family has been brave for generations, bold and simple, how can you be corrupted to this extent? β
Ashamed, hearing Father-in-law Yu say it so explicitly, Lan Ziyi only felt shame. But the more ashamed Lan Ziyi felt, the more he didn't want to admit that Father-in-law Yu said these things.
ε °εδΉ says:
"The border town has the atmosphere of the border town, the capital has the charm of the capital, I Lan Ziyi admires the culture of the capital, why not travel with these talents?"
Yu Gonggong scolded:
"What a young talent, but just a bunch of gentlemen. If some of the ancient rangers were willful, now that they know how to eat, drink and be merry, what can you learn from them? β
Lan Ziyi was annoyed and angry when he heard this, and said:
"Father-in-law, you can't eat grapes, say grapes are sour, right?"
Father-in-law Yu asked:
"What did you say?"
Lan Ziyi got up and said:
"Father-in-law, a reader has the resilience of a reader, and even more of a reader's grace, if these things don't insist, what else do you read? Ziyi has taken his leave! β
After that, he turned around and left, and before going out, he yelled at the Tao family brother:
"Obviously, he was called over to reprimand me, and he had to say something important. Hum! β
The Tao brothers sighed and shook their heads, and when they saw Lan Ziyi going out, they also got up to fight with Father-in-law Yu.
After a few people left the palace gate, Lan Ziyi stopped the Tao brothers and said:
"I think you are my brothers, what are you doing every day?"
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"Our brother just does what we have to do."
Lan Ziyi asked:
"It's also the right thing to do to report to my father for beating me? Call me over today and reprimand me as well? β
ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"Our brother has never said anything bad about the young master, but the young master has become wrong since he met Zhang Mingyue, and my brothers and I are anxious in our eyes, of course we have to tell the general."
ζ‘ζ·θ says:
"Father-in-law Yu is also an elder no matter what he says, Weihou, you are living so erosively now, and it is becoming less and less like the high-spirited and daring young master we knew before, we are not qualified to say, can't even Father-in-law Yu say two sentences?"
"Enough! Don't call me young master again! Lan Ziyi roared, "Changed? What have I changed? Is it because I no longer call you brothers? Monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, I am just distinguished from you by being humble and humble, and you are so viciously speculating about me. The capital is the center of the world, bathing and educating for a long time, you don't change the habit of wandering in the past, and you want to say that I have changed? Get out of here, get out of here, and don't let me see you again! I've had enough of you taking you as brothers, but you're making me enemies! β
After that, he walked quickly to the horse, got on the horse and left, leaving the Tao brothers standing there crying without tears.
