Chapter 210: The Time Has Come
Lei Quilt, a swordsman in Huainan.
"Lei Bei, this is the Wei Qing you admire." Gongsun Hong began to introduce.
Lei was stunned and looked at Wei Qing on the side, he actually sat with Wei Qing, so he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Huainan Guest Secretary Lei was visited by General Wei. The tone was full of pride.
Wei Qing was very unfamiliar with this Lei quilt, and he hadn't even heard of it, so he asked with a smile: "Who are you?" ”
Lei smiled after hearing this: "General Hui, it's not a person, he was the advisor of King Huainan in his early years, and now he is the prime minister." ”
"Oh!" Wei Qing actually wanted to ask what if this thunder was related to Shen Jia's death?
Lei was very admired by Wei Qing: "General Jiuwen made the Huns frightened......"
"Alright, alright, alright!" Wei Qing was obviously not interested in listening to what this guest secretary from Huainan had to say.
Lei was a little embarrassed, his expression changed and changed, and then he looked at Gongsun Hong.
Gongsun Hong smiled and said: "Don't take it to heart, General Wei's wife Shen Jia died in the hands of Wu Fu." ”
"Ahh Ray was stunned again, and seemed to understand the reason, so he sat down awkwardly again, and then began to introduce his own .......
Lei was beaten, he was known as the "first swordsman in Huainan", and Liu Qian, the crown prince of Huainan, was not convinced after hearing about this, so he competed with Lei Shu. Because Lei was hit by a miss, Liu Qian held a grudge and was in trouble everywhere.
Later, Lei was forced to stay in Huainan no longer, so he asked Liu An to follow Wei Qing to fight the Huns. Unexpectedly, after Liu An heard this, he thought that Lei was betrayed and dismissed from his post.
The resentful Lei was simply escaped from the Huainan Palace, and he was also killed all the way.
According to Lei, King Huainan has been secretly preparing for rebellion in recent years, recruiting a large number of dead soldiers and soldiers.
Gongsun Hong also analyzed that judging from the big data of this year's conscription, the output of the troops of the vassal states has become less and less, and either the vassal states are preventing these people from joining the army to serve the country, or they are recruiting privately.
But judging from the current situation, there is a great suspicion that these princes and kings recruited privately, at least I heard that Lei was said that Liu An, the king of Huainan, recruited more than 10,000 people privately, which is such a powerful number.
"Actually, not only is Liu An, the king of Huainan, recruiting troops, but he is also secretly allied with the king of Jiangdu and others." Ray was said.
Wei Qing looked at Ruoyao, who was listening quietly, and asked, "You serve in their army?" ”
Lei was arched and replied: "Yes, the forward captain, subordinate to the crown prince Liu Qian, the little one has a heart to gallop on the battlefield since he was a child, Wen Wei General Longcheng victory, flat push cumin king, regain Henan, so he also wants to serve the country from the army to the marquis general, helpless, the king of Huainan only wants to rebel, so he does not let any soldiers in the country join the army, and every year he takes out some old and weak personnel to fill the number." ”
"Hehe, what you say will make General Ben embarrassed." Wei Qing is now beginning to appreciate the thunder quilt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lei was settled in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Gongsun Hong left Wei Qing and Ruoyao in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Prime Minister, what you mean will be understood today." After Wei Qing finished speaking, he began to recall the entire law: "Lei was executed by the edict of the Son of Heaven to resist Hu, but the king of Huainan obstructed it, and should be sentenced to death for abandoning the city." ”
Gongsun Hong smiled happily after hearing this: "How can this crime alone bring down so many princes and kings." ”
"It seems that this time, the old man has to go out in person, hehe, come, come, eat!" Gongsun Hong picked up chopsticks for Wei Qing: "Come, there are no big fish and meat, eat some side dishes, hehe." ”
Wei Qing took the chopsticks.
"Ruoyao, Ruoyao." Gongsun Hong shouted at the top of his voice.
Ruoyao walked in from outside with a bowl of soup: "Come on, come on." ”
"Wei Qing, eat, after eating, you can go back first, Ruoyao will follow me for a few days, how about it?" Gongsun Hongdao.
Wei Qing held back his mouth, he always felt that Gongsun Hong's words today were true: he might not be able to survive this year.
"Ruoyao, you will follow the prime minister in the next few days." Wei Qing didn't want to say anything more.
Everyone was like a straw hut, and the three of them ate and talked idly.
night
Gongsun Hong was lying in the hall, and Ruoyao was tidying up things according to Gongsun Hong's wishes.
"Old man, whose dress is this?" Ruoyao took out a Hanfu from the bottom of the pressure box and gestured.
Gongsun Hong actually saw it, although his eyes were blurred, the outline of the Hanfu was still there: "Oh, this is, this is Du's." "Du Shi is Gongsun Hong's wife.
When people die, they miss their relatives very much, especially men like Gongsun Hong, who abandon their family business for their careers.
"Ruoyao, do you think the old man is very bad." Gongsun Hong's eyes can't see anything clearly as long as there are tears, and he only has a vague Hanfu in front of him.
Ruoyao saw that this was a bad old man who was going to die: "No, you are a man who stands up to the sky." ”
Gongsun Hong showed a slight smile on his face after hearing this, and then said in an old voice: "The old man originally wanted to go back to his hometown with his last breath alive, but now, it seems that he is going to die in office." ”
Ruoyao suddenly had an indescribable sense of bitterness, this is like a modern left-behind old man, at this time, it is the time when the old man lacks the most family affection and is the most afraid, Ruoyao can feel the fear in Gongsun Hong's heart.
Gongsun Hong may have been tired, and he still held the text sent by the Tingwei Mansion in his hand and then fell asleep.
Lang Zhong has been waiting outside, because the Prime Minister's Mansion, like the Changping Marquis Mansion, is a yamen without a hostess, so these subordinates are a little helpless in the face of such a thing.
"Lang Zhong, what is the prime minister's illness?" Ruoyao asked weakly.
Lang Zhong sighed and shook his head: "Actually, if you pay attention to rest, you should be able to alleviate it, but the prime minister just can't be idle, there are a lot of things in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he arrives at the Tingwei Mansion on time every afternoon." ”
This is another good official, and an official who has left enough for the strong man, and is destined to go down in history: "He just wants to do more things and make up for what he didn't do in the lost years." ”
Ruoyao said that the lost years were the most lost years of Gongsun Hong, the years when he taught in the grass shed.
"Then I've worked hard for you in the past few days, don't let him go out of the Prime Minister's Mansion from tomorrow, and have a good rest." Ruoyao said.
Lang Zhong was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide it from the girl, I will enter the palace tomorrow, the prime minister said that there is a big matter, so let me not go back today, and follow him tomorrow morning, just in case." ”
Ruoyao has mixed feelings in her heart, throughout the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there are many prime ministers, and there are countless imperial historians, Gongsun Hongzhen can be regarded as the first person among the prime ministers, there is no one.
"By the way, Miss Ruo, I heard the prime minister say, you are his granddaughter?" Lang Zhong asked weakly.
Ruoyao smiled bitterly and nodded: "Well, it's okay, what?" ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I heard the prime minister mention it, as if the girl was ...... behind her."
Hearing this, Ruoyao's nose somehow had a sour feeling, and he looked at Gongsun Hong, who was sleeping.
