Text Chapter 162 The bones of the chivalry were left behind
The owner of the Moon Man Building is surnamed Ji, named Ji Ying, and is in his forties. When he heard that the shopkeeper of the restaurant had sent someone to report to the house, saying that something was wrong, and that several sons of the noble family had been beaten in the restaurant, and asked the owner to hurry up and take a look, he didn't feel much serious.
Over the years, he has experienced many similar things, but it is nothing more than that the sons and brothers are jealous or vindictive because of the competition, and in his heart, he is very disdainful of this. The prestige of their own old man was shaking there, and it was expected that they would not dare to make too much trouble.
If you don't want to go, just let the shopkeeper's persuasion and persuasion. Later, I thought about it, anyway, it's okay in the house at noon, and I haven't been to the restaurant for a long time, so it's okay to go and see it by the way, and those bunnies should also have a good beating.
Most of the disciples of the generals are in the same branch, and the Ji family is naturally no exception. Since the Ji family returned to old age, no one in the family has entered the court as an official again. Although this is a bit regrettable, the prestige of the Ji family between the government and the opposition has not decreased in the slightest, which is of course due to the good relationship between the two old men of the Ji family in that year.
Even now, when it comes to the Ji family in Guanzhong, no matter whether it is black or white, the officials and the people, etc., they all respect it, which shows the great reputation of it.
The so-called "Ji Twin Heroes", the two brothers Ji Bu and Ji Xin, the founding generals of the Han Dynasty! These two brothers are the original Chu people, since they were young, they have been chivalrous and famous, and the local people in the rivers and lakes have all bowed down and obeyed their orders.
Later, in the war at the end of Qin, they followed Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and fought in all directions, and made great achievements with their wisdom and bravery. Especially Ji Bu, even under the unparalleled prestige of the Western Chu Overlord, he can still rely on his strength to become a champion under his command, you can imagine what this person's ability is.
Later, when Chu and Han fought, even Liu Bang, the king of Han at that time, was defeated by his men several times, and if he hadn't even fled without caring about his wife and children, he would have almost been killed by him once. So when Xiang Yu perished and Gaozu became emperor, he specially issued a wanted document for Ji Bu, "Those who dare to provide a hiding place for Ji Bu will be killed without forgiveness, and the three clans will be destroyed!" ”
In order to get these two brothers, Gaozu can be said to have exhausted all means. Later, when they finally returned to their hearts, they immediately reused them, and their favor was incomparable, even surpassing many of his close henchmen who had followed him for a long time.
And the Ji brothers did not live up to the trust of the Liu Huang Han family, and for the rest of their lives, they have been loyal, serving the country, and making a lot of contributions.
The Ji family is powerful, not only in the court, but also in the rivers and lakes north of Huaichu, they all secretly follow their orders, it can be said that they are black and white, with deep roots and transcendent status.
Ji Bu had passed away during the reign of Emperor Jing, and Ji Xin was old, concentrating on meditation and no longer caring about the world's mundane affairs. The head of this generation is Ji Ying, who inherited his father's righteousness and the courage of his second uncle.
In the support of several right-hand men, when they came to the full moon building, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and reported the incident to the master in detail.
The first thought that came to his mind was that this matter must be handled properly, otherwise, it might bring trouble to the family.
Those children of Chang'an, naturally, have always been familiar with each other, and they often come here on weekdays, and they can be regarded as his sons and nephews.
As for the reputation of Changle Hou Yuanzhao, of course Ji Ying knew that this little marquis who rose as brightly as the stars, and all his information was also in the hands of the Ji family.
Ji Ying had carefully studied everything Yuan Zhao did, trying to find out where his magic came from, but he, like many people, only got the result of bewilderment. Ji Ying couldn't understand, how could there be such a person in the world, where did he learn his skills, is there really a talented talent, a person who is born to know?
When he asked the old man Ji Xin about this doubt, the old man in his nineties closed his eyes slightly and smiled lightly, but he didn't tell him the answer, but he just asked him to open his eyes and look at the world with his heart, so that he would naturally know the cause and effect, and he didn't have to ask for fish.
Ji Ying couldn't understand these unfathomable, and when he respectfully withdrew, he didn't hear the murmur behind him: "In the world, there are saints in five hundred years, and the way of heaven has its own great responsibility, how can ordinary people solve its mysteries......
When Ji Ying brought people upstairs, Yuan Zhaozheng helped Old Man Lu out. His homemade medicine worked very well, and after giving it to him at that time, it didn't take much effort to wake up. Xiaoice helped bandage the wound on her head and stopped the bleeding, and it seemed that it should be fine.
The Lu family sisters and brothers were full of gratitude, needless to say, seeing that their father was unharmed, they hugged him and couldn't help but shed tears again.
Xiaoice did not forget what the master said, and when she left, she knocked on the corner of the case with her sword, and her eyes were full of anger, looking at the group of people who were huddled in the corner with a smile.
A few gentlemen were injured, and they endured the resentment in their hearts, but they didn't understand what she meant. Seeing that her eyes were glaring, and there seemed to be signs of anger, the older Li Ping'an sighed helplessly, without saying a word, took out two heavy gold ingots from his arms and put them on the case.
Two ingots of gold were as many as ten taels, Xiaoice reached out and took it, weighed it, was very satisfied, and stuffed it into Lu Jun's arms, and then walked out with the master.
"Changle Hou, are you going to leave like this?"
Although Ji Ying had never seen Yuan Zhao, he concluded at a glance that the young man in white who walked in front was it. It's just that his group of people climbed the stairs, but he didn't even look at it, and he wanted to leave, which made Ji Ying, who had always been arrogant, inevitably feel a little unhappy.
Dongfang Shuo knew the details of this restaurant, and when he saw that the person opposite was surrounded by more than a dozen big men, he was graceful and luxurious, and his bearing was extraordinary, so he immediately guessed that this must be the head of the Ji family.
He took two steps and whispered in Yuan Zhao's ear. Yuan Zhao didn't even lift his eyelids, just snorted at the corner of his mouth, his footsteps didn't stop, and he continued to walk towards the staircase.
Today, the people who are following Ji Ying are the children of the Ji family, and when they go out, they are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, proud and respectful, and they are used to everything. Seeing the head of the family speak, the other party doesn't even pay attention to it, how can this be endured!
"Oh, boy, stop! My master asked you, how dare you be so rude, when the moon is full of what is the place! A few people had already blocked the way with flashing steps, glaring angrily.
Xiaoice saw that someone was blocking the way again, so she didn't care who the other party was, just before she was happy, she raised her sword and was about to rush over to open the way. Yuan Zhao waved his hand to stop her.
"It turned out to be the Ji family...... Hehe! An inexplicable smile flashed across his face, contemptuous, disdainful, and somewhat regretful.
Seeing that he was so slack, the dissatisfaction in his heart turned into anger. Even if it is a relative of the emperor and a prince of the dynasty, he is polite when he arrives here. You're just a little idle marquis, what qualifications do you have to put on a score here?
Ji Ying's face sank, because at this time he finally saw the group of injuries that came out of the room. Almost everyone was injured and bloodstained, and the two of the Chen family and the Zhou family had broken arms and legs, and they had become wasters.
Ji Ying felt her head buzzing, today's things must be difficult to be good! No one knows better than him the power behind this group of people, and this Changle Hou is too ruthless. Didn't you think about the consequences? Don't say it's him, Yue Manlou can't get rid of it this time.
"Yuan Zhao, you are so young, why are you so ignorant? Hit hard! No matter how good you are, can you do whatever you want? ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Dongfang Shuo's heart sank, the Ji family has a chivalrous reputation for nearly a hundred years, and he thought that the head of the Ji family appeared, even if he would not face himself, at least he would ask the reason, uphold justice, and mediate between the two parties. Unexpectedly, he opened his mouth to accuse Yuan Zhao, which couldn't help but be a big disappointment.
Yuan Zhao stood still, glanced at the other party coldly, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Guanzhong Ji family, such a big reputation." The world heard that it was Zu Jibu back then, and he was famous all over the world for his chivalrous deeds. I also admired it, but I didn't expect that when I saw it today, future generations would be unbearable to be so far, and be in the company of evil, colluding with it, and the reputation of a hundred years can be rested! ”
His tone was flat, as if he was just casually commenting, but he explained the relationship in one word. Dongfang Shuo and Xiaoice praised in their hearts, Xiao Hou Ye has always been to the point when he speaks, which makes people happy!
When did Ji Ying receive such words! Especially the meaning revealed in Yuan Zhao's words turned out to be that their family was in vain and an accomplice to evil. Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?!
"You, you stinky child! Confessional. If you don't make your words clear today, you won't want to take half a step out of the full moon building! ”
The head of the family was angry, and the children and subordinates who followed him were even more indignant, and today someone dared to bully them, they really ate the heart of a bear and swallowed the gall of a leopard! It doesn't matter what kind of Hou Ye Ji you are, let's fight first.
More than a dozen big men each held knives and sticks, and hula la-la rushed over, and they were about to do it. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the building, stopped in front of the building, and then a small group of knights in red robes and white feathers walked in.
The leader was a handsome young general, and when he looked up, he saw two groups of people facing each other at the staircase on the second floor, first stunned, and then holding the hilt of his sword, and the leader came up the stairs.
When he came to it, he glanced around, ignored others, walked straight to Yuan Zhao, and bowed to salute: "Little Marquis, Your Majesty has a decree, announce that you will enter the palace immediately!"
When Dongfang Shuo saw the comer, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and put his heart in his stomach. He was so scared just now! It's not that I'm afraid of what the Ji family will do to Yuan Zhao, but I'm afraid that this pair of demonic masters and apprentices can't help but hurt people, and the chaos will get bigger and bigger.
Dongfang Shuo attaches great importance to Yuan Zhao from the bottom of his heart. But the strength of these nobles in the court is too great, and the court army is intertwined and the water is very deep. With such a big beam today, he is very worried about Yuan Zhao's future.
Yuan Zhao looked at the Yulin general in front of him with a smile, and he couldn't tell whether he was serious or joking in his tone: "Brother Xiang'er, someone won't let me go, saying that I don't want to walk out of the Moon Full Building half a step today." Why don't you go back and tell Your Majesty first, and when people let me go, I will go to the palace to ask for guilt?"
This Qianli Ju of the Cao family named Cao Xiang, at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, went to the Changle Marquis Mansion and did not find Yuan Zhao, and heard that he had come to the Moon Full Building, so he kept looking for it. Since I came upstairs, I have already seen it clearly and my heart is clear. What kind of virtue are these gentlemen, and is there anyone who knows better than him? They all grew up together, but they later parted ways and took different paths.
I saw him gesturing to the accompanying Yulin guards, holding the hilt of his sword in his palm, standing proudly, overflowing with pride in his bones.
"Little Marquis, please take it in stride, if you dare to speak out to stop a word, you will be killed!"
Joke! It's too late to find time to get close to Changle Hou, how can I let go of this great opportunity today.
Since his trip to northern Xinjiang and seeing the character and majesty of this little marquis, Cao Xiang has made up his mind to take Yuan Zhao as an example to inspire his enterprising spirit, and strive to reproduce the glory of the Cao family as an ancestor in his own hands.
Even if he offended everyone here today, he didn't care. Don't say that he has the emperor's order, others don't dare to do anything, even if he stains the blood for Yuan Zhaoliang's sword today, as long as he can use this to bring the relationship between each other closer, he will be unambiguous, this is the decisiveness of the disciples of the sect!
Cao Xiang, the grandson of Pingyang Hou Cao Shen! Including Ji Ying, of course, everyone present knew each other. The Cao family is even more than the average noble family, Xiao and Cao are equally famous, they are all the founding prime ministers of the Han Dynasty!
If you borrow the words of Emperor Gaozu in the market, that is, no matter how powerful the general or the courtier, they are just the hounds that help him chase the Central Plains, In his eyes, there are only two people who can help him manage the coordination and order of these hounds: Xiao He and Cao Shen! You can see the weight in his heart.
Although the Cao family is thin, this generation of Cao Xiang is very good, at the age of sixteen, he was selected as the guard of Weiyang Palace with his unequaled cavalry, and served the emperor. Known as the Chisakoma of the Cao family, the hope of the future.
"Was it right to be ordered by the emperor to enter the palace? You mean this kid?"
No one dared to act rashly anymore, and everyone was suspicious. watched Yuan Zhao move forward, but turned his face sideways and said to Ji Ying: "Eh, those wastes, they all accidentally injured themselves, you have to quickly find someone to heal you, otherwise you will die one or two, and the moon will be full of buildings." In addition, for the sake of the face of the ancestors of the Ji family, I would like to remind you that the next road, you must take a good look before leaving, if you make a mistake, everything will be over! ”
By the time the voice reached his ears, the man had already gone downstairs. Looking at the figure that was far away under the escort of the Yulin Army, Ji Ying suddenly had a feeling that maybe he had inadvertently made a big mistake today.
Since the emperor has a decree to summon, it is natural that it cannot be delayed. Yuan summoned that the old man of the Lu family had no big problem at this time, and asked where he lived, but it was on the side of Green Willow Alley, not far from Defan Xue Tower, since Xiaoice was idle left and right, he volunteered to send them back, and went to Fan Xue Building to find Lingzhi to play.
Yuan Zhao agreed, and the three of the Lu family's father and daughter thanked and thanked before leaving.
Putting what happened just now, the group went straight to Weiyang Palace, in Yuan Zhao's opinion, what he wanted to do in the future would sooner or later conflict with the interests of these lords and magnates, since this was the case, it didn't matter if he didn't offend them, and he didn't take these little things to heart.
In the Xuanshu Pavilion, Emperor Liu Che was wearing a plain white robe, and his face was a little gloomy. Yuan Zhao didn't ask much, just stayed quietly in his position, and listened to the emperor tell him the general situation of the early dynasty in a few words.
It seems that this great emperor, who is famous in later generations, is not very authoritative now! It's no wonder that he hasn't done anything to shock the world so far. Although the dragon has a vast dream in his heart, the shackles of restraint have not yet been opened, and the dilemma remains.
"Yuanqing, what do you think? Why the silence. ”
Seeing that he was looking down and thinking about things, he didn't speak for a long time, and the person behind the imperial case opened his mouth.
The Weiyang Palace in summer is a little hot, but the location of this Xuanshu Pavilion is very special, with a cool breeze and a very quiet atmosphere. The architect at the beginning must have been a master who was proficient in heaven and earth, so he chose such a best place and became the place where several generations of emperors meditated and cultivated and participated in major studies.
"Your Majesty, there is a proverb among the people that says that those who start well must end well in order to win the trust of others and succeed in their work. These ordinary people understand the truth, Your Majesty is wise and wise, so naturally there is no need for the ministers to say more. ”
Liu Che's face was expressionless, his brows moved, and he motioned for him to continue.
"The minister knows that His Majesty naturally has a big plan in his heart for these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, as for how big His Majesty's ambition is, if you don't say it, the minister won't ask more. The only thing I know is that if you have already decided to start, how can you just end up with a small setback! ”
Yuan Zhao raised his head and made his opinion clear. Liu Che lay his hands on the desk, staring into his eyes.
"Yuanqing, do you know that what I encountered this time was not a small setback, but an iron wall! What's more, since I am the Son of Heaven, how can I disobey the will of Heaven! ”
Yuan Zhao was not discouraged in the slightest, he stood up, his face was resolute, and his expression was radiant, as if what appeared in front of him was Shenzhou Wanli, splendid mountains and rivers.
"Providence? Hehe, in this world, who determines the providence? And who said that the will of heaven cannot be violated? Xiao Chen said that he couldn't agree with this! I have heard a saying, 'If a man has perseverance, he will overcome the heavens.'" I think that I am a descendant of Yan and Huang of the Han Dynasty, majestic and majestic, and since the establishment of the dynasty, the national strength has been flourishing, which is like the moment when the red sun was born and the river was surging. Your Majesty should take advantage of the excellent situation created by the first emperor to forge ahead and work hard to revitalize the country's prestige and establish an immortal foundation! How can we be cowardly because some stubborn people are obstructing in every way for their own selfish interests? Chen Yuanzhao, I wish to ask for the will, willing to create a great cause for His Majesty, escort, for the sword, for the sword! Whether there is a charm in front of them, or an iron and bronze wall, there are those who are immeasurable, delusional blockers, and discipline them all become praying mantis blocking cars, broken bones, and buried for decay! ”
"Great! Young edge, for my Yuanqing! If you are so bold, why should I be afraid of natural disasters and man-made disasters! ”
Liu Che, the fifth-generation heir to the throne of the Yan Han Dynasty, shot the case and was agitated.
