Chapter 194: Helpless
In addition to paying tribute to Shen Jia, Wei Qing's simple purpose of holding a funeral has some other purposes, all of which are related to the future of the Wei family.
The General's Mansion, which lost its hostess, suddenly made a powerful god of war helpless, and the already deserted General's Mansion became even more deserted, and at this moment, Wei Qing experienced Shen Jia's role at home.
The family business is unattended, the son is unattended, the guests are ungreeted, and there is no sound of breaking things.
One day,
Wei Qing had already begun to plan the destruction of the vassal states, and he did not come out of the war room all night.
The sand table was pushed and piled up by Wei Qing, and the map on the side was already full of circles, which vassal states were key hidden dangers, and which vassal states were wall grass, and it was clear at a glance on the map.
Night, very deep,
When Wei Qing marked the last defense point in the south of the Great Han on the map, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at the large-scale annihilation war he had planned in the south against the vassal states, Wei Qing seemed to see the light again, and couldn't help but put down the brush in his hand and shouted: "Shen Jia, Shen Jia, Yan ......"
But the joy is always short-lived, after two sounds, the smile on Wei Qing's face gradually disappeared, Shen Jia is dead, he is a little anxious in his heart, at this time before, Shen Jia would boil himself a bowl of bird's nest.
Looking at the empty war room, there was not even a single mosquito, Wei Qing walked to the door and opened the door to look outside.
Wei Qing's low-key is not pretending, this is indeed related to his birth, he saw that Steward Luo was still standing in the yard, and he also knew why the housekeeper was standing in the yard, so he said: "Butler, go and rest, don't wait." ”
"General, I heard you call Madame's name just now." Steward Luo was waiting outside, and he had already heard Wei Qing shouting Shen Jia's name just now: "General, Luo Yi thanked the general for taking him in back then, but Luo Yi couldn't understand, madam, how did Mrs. die?" Wei Qing never revealed the cause of Shen Jia's death to the outside world, which was also a suspense.
Luo Yi is an old man in the army, he has been in the army for dozens of years, and after returning home, his parents, wife and children are no longer there, so in the end, Wei Qing took him in, just like taking in Ruoyao, except for the eldest son Wei and the son-in-law, the rest of the people in the Wei Mansion regard these subordinates as their own, especially Wei Qing and Shen Jia, so Luo Yi sincerely thanked them.
Wei Qing looked very sad, patted Lao Luo's shoulder and said, "Go and rest, you fought for the country in the first half of your life, and you should have a good rest in the second half of your life, you shouldn't wait for General Ben here, go." ”
"General! Who killed Madame, the veteran must have cut him with his own hands. Luo Yi said excitedly.
Wei Qing didn't want to cut them, but the other party was not a person, nor a group, but a princely force, this force could confront the imperial court, even Liu Che trembled when he talked about it, let alone a Wei Qing?
"Go and rest, Shen Jia's Qiu Ben General will definitely take revenge, but now is not the time." Only Wei Qing knows the essence of this matter, and if you want to take revenge, you must mobilize the strength of the whole country, and the timing is when Your Majesty is determined to cut it.
In this way, under Wei Qing's repeated persuasion, Luo Yi went to rest.
But Wei Qing ran to the kitchen alone, this is a rare time for Wei Qing to enter the kitchen in recent years, and he used to frequently go in and out of the kitchen when he was a horse in Pingyang Houfu, and often cooperated with the kitchen work.
Since he was a child, he was born as a civilian, cooking and laundry are difficult for Wei Qing, with his thoughts of Shen Jia, Wei Qing personally cooked bird's nest, one table and two bowls, and Wei Qing finished eating ...... like this.
Wei Qing's mind was full of Shen Jia's words that supported him to join the army back then: You are a soldier, you don't belong to me Shen Jia alone, you belong to the whole country, and belong to the future of the Han Dynasty.
"Madam, Wei Qing thanks you for your understanding." Wei Qing got up and looked at the empty seat opposite, and his voice looked old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, Wei Qing entered the palace.
Liu Che was also very sad about Shen Jia's death, but Wei Qing did not say the cause of his death, because he knew that if Liu Che knew the real cause of Shen Jia's death, Liu Che would really make a big move against the vassal states for Wei Qing.
And Wei Qing, who is far-sighted, also knows that this is not advisable, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will look at the Wei family with other eyes, and this matter is very likely to become the handle of some so-called loyal ministers in the future.
Minister, always a minister, a king will always be a king, Wei Qing is still clear, thinking about what a hero Chao Cuo was back then, how favored by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but in the end, in the face of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, it was not a beheading of the whole family.
And after Wei Qing entered the palace and saw Liu Che, he took his three sons to find Wei Zifu.
"Brother, you, do you really want to send the couple and the unsuspicious to the aqueduct camp?" Wei Zifu was very surprised when he heard that Wei Qing was going to send his son out, but he couldn't think of a good way for Wei Qing.
Wei Qing smiled faintly: "No way, I wanted to send them to Yulinjun to get sick together, but the couple didn't want to go, saying that it was a place where wild children stayed, and he had a father and a mother and resolutely didn't go." ”
Wei Qing is only in his thirties, but now he looks ten years old, not to mention the vicissitudes of life, he still looks very decadent: "Brother, we can rebuild the family without it, don't be decadent, okay?" Wei Zifu was distressed.
Wei Qing was very resolute: "Sister, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and thousands of soldiers can abandon their families and children for the sake of the great cause of being a strong man, why can't I Wei Qing?" Li Guang crisscrossed the east, west, north, south, and middle of the Han Dynasty, and now he still doesn't even have a decent mansion? After speaking, Wei Qing stood up respectfully and bowed: "Wei Qing please sister again." With that, he turned and left.
"Brother!" Looking at Wei Qing's firm and powerful back, Wei Zifu burst into tears, she also knew that it was not easy to be a soldier.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......" Wei Deng in Wei Zifu's arms began to cry, Wei Zifu held him tightly in his arms and couldn't cry anymore, life may be so helpless.
Lin Haitang was also moved to cry on the side, and comforted with sadness: "Niangniang, mourning, General Wei is a soldier, this is his destination, I am a childhood sweetheart with Wang Ergou, he said that he would marry me when he was a general, but in the end he died on the way to attack Dragon City, and Luo Shan, everyone dislikes him for missing arms, but who knows that he doesn't want to?" ”
"Yes, men have careers for men." Wei Zifu endured his grief.
Wei Qing is already the Marquis of Changping, a first-class title, if he has military exploits, he is a genuine Marquis of Wanhu, but his quality of life as the Marquis of Changping is even worse than that of a fourth-grade official in the capital, and he is more low-key internally than civilians, but his attitude towards the enemy is as hard as steel, soft inside and strong outside, and he has the demeanor of a general.
In this way, after Shen Jia left, Wei Fu could have gone in two directions, one was to marry Wei Qing again, after all, Wei Qing is now in a noble position, if he wants to marry, the yellow flower girls queuing up behind him will not be able to see the end at a glance, and the second is to really dedicate himself to the country, after all, Wei Qing is a soldier, everything is cloudy, and the battlefield is where he belongs.
Wei Qing chose second.
