Chapter 694: The Returning "Eldest Son"
Chapter 694: The Returning "Eldest Son"
Li Chen and Li Xi are still young, so they naturally don't know what their father and Aunt Wei, whom they like very much, are doing. However, they don't understand but know to ask, and when they return home, they inevitably give their full stomach of questions to the mothers who love them the most. After learning that Li Xian had come up with a way to delay time to deal with Awei, all the women showed a wry smile.
For that little girl's stubbornness, they can be regarded as completely understood. In the half a year before Ah Wei and Lu, the children of the ministers they found were not one hundred but eighty, although there were no top among them, but there were also good temperaments and good character, but the little girl just didn't let go. Not only that, but even Shangguan Wan'er and Li Lingyue were also interrupted by the side, and the result was that Xingshi mobilized the crowd but returned in vain.
Therefore, although Li Xian's method is not safe, it also leaves them time and hope. As for what will happen in a year or two, we have to hope for a miracle.
May is already a bit hot, especially for those on the road. Walking will certainly end up sweating, even riding a horse is also the same, although the wind is strong, but the sand and dust are greater, if you can't wash it well at the end of this day, I am afraid that countless putties can accumulate on this body. Therefore, after Xue Rengui arrived in Dengzhou by sea ship from Liaodong, he took a land route and then changed to a waterway, which took three months.
This is the first time that General Xue has come back to report on his work since he guarded Liaodong. If it were just him, he would never choose such a sissy way as taking a boat, it would be safe, but the problem is that the speed is too slow. Those hours spent on the ship. Almost every day, he found a guard to fight hard, and in the end, almost every guard would complain bitterly when he received such a request.
Because there is a certain person on his ship who needs strict protection, according to the order, this one can be regarded as Li Xian's real eldest son. Although he didn't get along with this child for a long time, he felt that this child was very smart and had a lot of problems, especially for his father, whom he had never met. And in this kind of matter. It's just that he didn't say much at all, and in the end he could only avoid it.
He's back this time. The main thing is to report on his work, and by the way, he seeks a transfer - although he has almost become a Buddha in the land of Liaodong. But this kind of busy civil affairs is really not what he wants. It happened that June 15 was the birthday of Emperor Li Zhidi, and he prepared a gift to see if he could go off the rails.
It's not that he Xue Rengui will also go crooked, he is really about to be suffocated!
After entering Luoyang City, Xue Rengui divided half of his soldiers and went home, and the remaining dozens of people crowded the carriage in the middle and rushed to Luoyang Palace. He was also one of the commanders of the Praetorian Guard who commanded the Northern Ya soldiers, but now he has returned with a full of wind and frost, but the people guarding the palace gate no longer recognize him. What's more, when a young Yulin Army guard checked the evidence, he blurted out an exclamation.
"General Xue of the Right Guard? Yes. Is it the father of the prince's right guard who led Xue Ne? ”
Rao is Xue Rengui has always had a good temperament, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but get angry. When did he, a general with brilliant military achievements, not be as famous as his son? When he had done all the work in Shangshu Province, he happened to bump into his son on the way to the East Palace in a rage. At this moment, all the anger in his stomach was revealed on his face.
Xue Dingshan had already learned that his father was coming back, and he was overjoyed when he met him. It's just that this is a business occasion, and he can only come forward to meet him with patience, but his father just snorted lightly. Then he began to teach him a lesson. This lesson has been taught in ordinary times. But today, no matter how he listened, he felt a sour feeling, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
This taught his son a great lesson. Xue Rengui's mood was finally calm. Seeing Xue Dingshan standing there stunned, he felt that he was a little excessive. After all, among the five sons, this eldest son is the most competitive, not to mention the high rank, and his reputation in Luoyang, Chang'an is also first-class. Of course, this kid's stubbornness towards women at the beginning is just as hateful!
When he thought of his son's wedding, he didn't catch up, and he didn't catch up with his grandchildren, and the anger that had just been dissipated suddenly came up again. Therefore, he simply left Xue Dingshan and ignored it, and strode into the East Palace. Faced with this strange situation, Xue Dingshan stood there inexplicably, and he really didn't know where he had provoked his father. Xue Dingshan Mu Ne, facing Xue Rengui who came to see Xue Rengui, Li Xian knew it in his heart. He is the one who has suppressed Xue Rengui's orders over the years, although he has also given General Xue a high-ranking official and a generous knight, but he is also the same one who can't show his strength when he presses others, and he is really a little reluctant to think about it. After all, Lao Xue can be regarded as a generation of famous generals.
Therefore, on this day, when he spoke, he was extremely polite, and presented his high hat one after another, saying that Xue Rengui was as magical as Li Weigong's reincarnation. Among the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty, the most famous was Li Jing, so Xue Rengui's heart gradually became comfortable, and he temporarily left that discomfort behind.
"Your Highness really praised it, I'm really ashamed." I feel comfortable in my heart, but I have to be polite and polite in my mouth. Immediately after, he arched his hand with a smile and said, "I came back from Liaodong this time, and I have already brought that child, and when I just entered the palace, there was already an attendant who led him to see the Emperor and the Empress Taishang, and the reunion of His Royal Highness's father and son is really gratifying." ”
Such good news, but Li Xian was a little shocked when he heard it. Has his son been brought back? How could he not have known about this beforehand? You must know that when Xiao Murong came back to the land before, he said that the child was too young to be sent over for the time being. It's not like Xue Rengui making his own opinion, could it be his father's and mother's idea?
Li Xian's eyes flickered like this, and Xue Rengui hurriedly said that he had completely wiped himself out: "It's not that I deliberately deceived His Highness, but Empress Taishang instructed me in advance, and I was afraid of any trouble on the road, so I didn't report it." In addition, this son has not yet been listed in the genealogy, after all, there are some obstacles, so it is better to keep it a secret for the time being. ”
Li Xian himself can talk about this kind of big truth, but at this moment, he feels that one head and two are big, so he has no meaning to talk to Xue Rengui again. He politely thanked the people for their care and care on the road, and as soon as Xue Rengui left, he immediately changed his clothes and hurriedly rushed out of the East Palace.
In any case, it was his son and his flesh and blood, and he was the one who caused the iniquity, and since they all returned, could he pretend to be deaf and dumb? Like Li Xian, who gave birth to a son but didn't admit it, he really couldn't do it!
However, he pounced in the Great Yi Palace. As soon as I asked, I knew that the chamberlain had indeed brought people here first, however, Empress Wu asked a few words, and then took the child to the Zhenguan Palace. Not only that, according to a clever little chamberlain, the Empress Wu also asked people to call the emperor and empress, and it may be possible to go to the Xiuwen Workshop and even summon a few daughters-in-law together.
Li Xian's scalp tingled when he heard this, but he had already come, knowing that this Zhenguan Hall was not easy to break into, so he had to go over there. He hurried all the way to the gate of the Zhenguan Palace, and two small chamberlains greeted him attentively, and one of them reminded him after saluting that the first few supremes here were very high
This key sentence made Li Xian breathe a sigh of relief, so when he appeared in front of his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, he lost the appearance of roaring just now, and behaved calmly. However, his calm face was quickly shattered, and there was no way to recover at all.
"Daddy!"
If it was a little boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain who pounced on him with such a smile, even if he didn't look like him so much, Li Xian wouldn't be much surprised. Because he is already fully mentally prepared, isn't he just a son, anyway, he is now running around with children under his knees, and it is not a big deal to have one more like this. However, as soon as the little guy came up, he grabbed his hand and shook it wildly, and his eyes flashed with excitement more than cunning, and people actually called him Daddy!
God, please, this is a little girl, didn't you say that Gao Desheng gave birth to a son for him? The Goguryeo queen who was far away in Liaodong couldn't have given birth to a pair of twin dragon and phoenix twins, right?
He looked at his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law with a pleading gaze, and when he saw that they were just laughing but didn't open their mouths to relieve him, he knew that most of these guys were going to see jokes today. After glancing around, he didn't find a little boy, so he had to crouch down and look at the little girl in front of him, hoping to see something on his face that didn't look like him.
However, to his great disappointment, this little girl looked more like him than her mother. Whether it is the eyebrows, nose, mouth, or that kind of eyes, they all seem to be carved out of the same mold as him, and the only thing that looks like a mother is the soft lines on the face. Although he was only four or five years old, he looked very beautiful. Not only that, but when he looked at her, she was also staring at him, and finally suddenly burst out with a sentence.
"Daddy, you're not as handsome as your mother said! Of course, it's not as hateful as my mother said! ”
Li Xian wanted to roll his eyes when he said this, but there were his parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in front of him, so he had to be patient and try his best to soften his tone: "Girl, do you have any brothers and brothers?" ”
"My mother only gave birth to me!" The little girl raised her head high, her face full of pride, "My mother raised me as a boy since I was a child, and that General Xue is also known as a wise and martial artist, stupid to death, I can't even tell whether I am a man or a woman, and I still call me a little boy after others!" It's still the royal grandmother who is amazing, and you can see it at a glance! ”
Hearing this, Li Xian almost didn't pop his eyes out. Oh my God, the so-called son, now he has become a daughter? What's wrong with the overflow of feminism in his family, why are his daughters so elf, such a clever little guy, why aren't they sons! For a moment, he had the urge to beat his chest.
Could it be that the next generation of Goguryeo still has to be the queen?
