Chapter 24: Confused Accounts

Wang Rouhua was not surprised, cut a half-opened rose and put it in the basket, looked at the rose regretfully and said: "It may not be a blessing to die when you are the most beautiful. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said: "I don't want to kill Brother Qiao until there is no way out, and even when I am cornered, I don't want to kill him." ”

Wang Rouhua sighed and said, "You came to me to get some courage to kill people from Wei Niang, right?" ”

"No, the boy hopes that you can help Brother Qiao intercede, so that I can convince myself to do something outside the rules."

Wang Rouhua smiled, and she really didn't praise her son's almost stupid method.

"You hate Brother Qiao a little, don't you? Just because you hate him, you need to help you make up your mind for your mother, otherwise, you would have made up your mind a long time ago. ”

Tie Xinyuan smiled bitterly, hid himself in the shade of the tree and said: "He is always like this, he does things without saying anything, regardless of our thoughts, when the matter comes, he feels that as long as he hands over his life, he can explain it to everyone." ”

Wang Rouhua said with a smile: "But if you are a person, you will have your own ideas, Brother Qiao seems to be a strong person, but in fact he is the softest person."

When he was in Tokyo, he would rather starve himself than leave the food for his younger siblings, and when he was in Rushan, he would rather go after his enemies alone than pull you along.

Later, also for your sake, he gave up the pursuit of the murderer and stayed in Hami for more than ten years.

Wei Niang said that these are not for Brother Qiao's audacity to explain anything, but to tell you that Brother Qiao used to defend you with his life, and if you want to punish him, you must take this into account, otherwise your life will not be safe. ”

Wang Rouhua rarely made a positive or negative decision about her son's affairs in her life, and this time it was the same.

She always thinks that her son is a rare smart person in the world, and he will definitely come up with the most reasonable solution.

Roses are easy to bloom when they are exposed to the sun, but the flowers used to make flavors cannot bloom too much.

Tie Xinyuan helped his mother pick flowers for an hour, and then went back, and it was obvious that his mother was staring at his back for a long time.

According to historical records, whether it is the history before the Great Song Dynasty or the history books after the Great Song Dynasty, it is very clear.

The Founding Emperor always had to kill a few of his closest comrades-in-arms to clean up the dynasty.

The benefits of this are many, especially for centralization, so that everyone in the world knows that the Founding King was not a cronyistic man, he would give the rest of the class a way to rise, and let everyone see a glimmer of hope for success.

Huo Xian, the reason why Liu Chu was so resolute in preparing to purge the idea of purging the dynasty through the audit was that Tie Xinyuan knew very well what their purpose was.

That is, the Hami country has indeed reached the time when it needs to be cleaned up.

These two people are both great talents, and they have a very accurate grasp of the current situation, and any of their actions are extremely purposeful.

Fortunately, their behavior is to let the Hami country continue to be strong, and they have no intention of partisanship.

This is very rare, and Tie Xinyuan is very grateful to have such two wise elders to help him when he needs talents the most.

However, although Tie Xinyuan also wanted to clean up the dynasty, he was very reluctant to use Brother Qiao's head to sacrifice the flag.

He decided to have a good conversation with Huo Xian and Liu Chu at the grand banquet held by Zhao Wan, this time he didn't want to hide anything, and revealed his thoughts as they were.

Ouyang Xiu went up the Huyang River, and then turned to the Hami River all the way to Qingxiang City.

This has the advantage of being able to clean up his three disobedient sons along the way.

In fact, in front of his eldest son Ouyang Fa, he did a very failure.

A feudal official of the Hami State who controls the entire Hexi Corridor naturally has his majesty, and there are no less than a thousand subordinate officials under his command, even if there are armor guards in the mansion, between the actions and sitting and lying, the majesty of the superior makes Ouyang Xiu, who has not seen his son for several years, surprised.

Fortunately, with his wife's crying as a cover, Ouyang Xiu was able to regain his majesty as a father.

He keenly felt that his son had a completely different temperament from the feudal officials of the Great Song Dynasty.

The feudal officials of the Great Song Dynasty were either as gentle as water, or as majestic as a prison, or as cunning as old and cunning, or as selfless as iron-faced.

Only he doesn't have the sharpness and strong self-confidence of his son.

After reading it, after hearing about his son's strategy for governing the Hexi Corridor, Ouyang Xiu felt that this son, who was still very young in the past, had now become hateful.

He left no loopholes at all, allowing him to show his father's majesty.

Since his grandson was not in the Hexi Corridor, he did not wait to see his eldest son, and hurriedly embarked on the trip after repairing in Hexi for half a month.

"Master, there is a ferry here, it seems to be very lively, what is the boundary, could it be that it has arrived in Hami City?"

Mrs. Ouyang held the side of the boat, surrounded by maids, and looked at the lively ferry on the shore and asked her husband happily.

Ouyang Xiu continued to look at the book in his hand and said: "This is not Hami City, it is Linhe County under Huyang City, which has more than 17,000 Dingkou and 4,900 households. ”

Mrs. Ouyang looked at the lively ferry suspiciously, and then looked at the tall city and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, this is fooling the concubine, whose small county will be so lively, and the city will be so high?"

When we went out of Mianchi County, the concubine saw it, and you said that there were 7,000 households in Shangxian County, and Mianchi could not compare to this Linhe County. ”

Ouyang Xiu snorted and said, "I'm talking about when I stepped down, after all these years, there will naturally be some changes."

When you get to Hami City, you can see that the prosperity there should be no worse than that of Tokyo, the only difference is that there are more Hu people. “

Mrs. Ouyang said suspiciously: "There is no difference between here and Da Song Zhou County, you look at the cornices, there are also city gate towers, drum towers, and bell towers, and the people are also dressed in the costumes of my Song people, you see, there is also a Chinese person wearing yin and yang shoes." ”

Ouyang Xiu reluctantly dropped the book and said: "This place itself is the land of the Song Dynasty, and the people are also Song people, Han people, and naturally they are the same as Guannai."

Besides, the construction of the city in Linhe County was still ordered by the old man, and the drawings were also drawn by the master craftsmen of the Song Dynasty. ”

Mrs. Ouyang stopped talking, dismissed the maid who accompanied her, and leaned over to Ouyang Xiu's side and whispered: "It's not bad for the concubine to look at this Hami country, the three children of our family are all officials here, and in the end, they are still younger, and their heels are unstable."

Master, why don't you continue to work in Hami? ”

Ouyang Xiu glanced at his wife and said, "Oh? Do you want me to be a leader? I remember that the official family asked me to serve as the squire of the Yellow Gate, and you seemed to be very unwilling. ”

Mrs. Ouyang smiled awkwardly and said, "You are an official in the Great Song Dynasty, you are purely suffering, and it is okay if you don't do that kind of official."

It's not the same as an official in Hami, you and the king of Hami get along, you will not suffer any grievances, not only can you show your arms, but also give a few small shelters, what's wrong with the best of both worlds? ”

Ouyang Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's see how King Hami disposes of the great general Li Qiao before making plans." ”

Mrs. Ouyang frowned and said, "I heard Fa'er say that the great general Li Qiao not only fornicated with foreign enemies, but also resold ordnance, what is so difficult to deal with such a person?" ”

Ouyang Xiu sighed and said; "It's not that simple, Li Qiao has worked with me for three years, he is not an ambitious person, let alone a person who likes money, there must be something we don't know.

Now that King Hami has summoned Li Qiao to Beijing and we have arrived in Qingxiang City, things should be clear. ”

Mrs. Ouyang saw that her husband was a little lost, so she kept her mouth shut, made a pot of hot tea with her own hands, and put it in her husband's hand.

Guarding the side and preparing to pour tea for him, Ouyang Xiu, who was deep in thought, didn't have much feeling about the heat and coldness of the tea.

At the same time, Li Qiao was also contemplating.

However, he only thought about it for a while, and then instructed Zhuoma to prepare to leave for Qingxiang City, and take over from Ah Da, who was guarding Qingtang City from him, Ah Er had already arrived, so he had no reason to stay.

Zhuoma didn't move, and said in a trembling voice: "You really want to go to Qingxiang City?" ”

Li Qiao said lightly: "We have done so many things, how can we not give the king an explanation!" ”

Zhuoma hurriedly said: "Can you explain it?" ”

Li Qiao smiled silently and said: "The matter has been done, it doesn't matter whether the explanation is clear or not, the important thing is that we must go to Qingxiang City." ”

As he spoke, he sighed and said, "It's been a long time since I've greeted my mother, and I haven't drunk with my brothers.

If you don't go, I'm afraid you won't even have to be a brother. ”

Zhuoma stood up and said loudly: "Over the years, do those people who live in Qingxiang City know how you survived in Qingtang City, which is surrounded by wolves?

Ten years, a whole ten years, the group of people in Qingxiang City only know that they have transferred troops from Qingtang City, and you have just trained a group of cavalry, and they will draw a group, and you have just gathered some good horses, and they will all be transferred by Qingxiang City under the pretext of equipping the guards.

Do they know how the surrounding Tubo people came to harass Qingtang City? Do they know how many horse thieves there are around Qingtang City?

Do they know that more than a dozen tribes have teamed up to pretend to be horse thieves to rob Qingtang City?

This city belongs to his iron-hearted son, who is seeking the most glorious position in the world's most prosperous city.

Does anyone know how many times you've fought over the years, and who knows how much you've paid to defend Qingtang City?

Meng Yuanzhi eats and drinks spicy food in Qingxiang City, his wife can be called the richest woman in Hami, his family's caravans are all over Hami, and there are countless shops.

What do you have to work hard to stay in the barren Qingtang City all year round?

Those people also talk about the little weapons you use to support the tribes who are inclined to us, and they say that you are greedy!

Oh my God, is there a poor general like you? Is there a general like you who can't even afford to buy beautiful clothes for his wife? ”

In the face of Zhuoma's rage, Li Qiao's gaze was still cold, and Zhuoma, who had a ghost in his heart, unconsciously lowered his voice.

Li Qiao looked at Zhuoma and said, "When I was out on the expedition, how much support did you give to Blind Felt?" ”
