Chapter 24 Xihuahou Mansion
Shi Zhan was taken out of the front hall, beaten a hundred boards, and personally supervised by Shi Yong, the commander of the guards. Shi Zhan www.biquge.info who has been on the battlefield for a long time, didn't snort from beginning to end, and even the guards in charge of the execution were very impressed. After playing a hundred boards, Shi Zhan couldn't move, and Shi Yong, the commander of the guards, personally led Shi Zhan back to the General's Mansion, and the sign of the General's Mansion has been changed to Xihua Houfu in the past few days.
The subordinate at the door was sweeping the floor, and when he saw Shi Yong sending back Shi Zhan, who was covered in bruises, he hurriedly ran in to inform Xu San. Not long after, Xu San ran out with a few people, supported Shi Zhan, and asked Shi Yong: "Commander Shi, what's going on?" My marquis is fine in the barracks, why is he injured like this? “
"Your Hou Ye didn't come back from the barracks, he came back from the palace, and when the Hou Ye is in better health, you can ask yourself, by the way, Your Majesty has a will, Xihua Hou will be grounded in the mansion for three months, and I will leave first." Shi Yong said, turned around and left with people.
Xu Sangang wanted to ask again, but seeing that Shi Yong refused to say more, he had to give up and instructed the people around him: "Hurry up, carry Master Hou into the house to lie on the bed, and ask the doctor to come over." “
One of them hurriedly ran down the street to find the doctor, while the rest of the people carried Shi Zhan back to the mansion with all hands and feet. Xu San had just stepped into the gate with one foot, when he suddenly stopped, and a person next to him asked, "What's the matter, butler?" “
"Sixth son, you go to the camp outside the city now to see if Gongzi is there, if Gongzi is there, notify Gongzi to come back, and say that Hou Ye has returned to the house, don't say anything about Hou Ye's injury, just say that Hou Ye let Gongzi come back. If Gongzi is not there, inform the two generals, Li Chang and Wang Shicheng, and ask them to come over and go quickly. Xu San commanded.
Liuzi nodded and said, "The little one will go now." After saying that, he ran out.
As soon as Shi Zhan was carried into the courtyard, Qin Wan happened to come out of her father's house, and when she saw Shi Zhan like this, she hurriedly ran over, helped Shi Zhan, and asked, "Third Uncle Xu, what's wrong with the general?" How did it hurt like this? ”
"I don't know, it was the commander of the guards in the palace who sent the general back, let's wait for the general to get better and ask what the situation is."
It was already dark, and the large snowflakes were flying in the wind, and the Central Plains at night still looked white. The sixth son who went to the barracks to report the news walked in the snow for nearly an hour before he reached the gate of the barracks, and just as he wanted to speak, two of the guards at the gate of the barracks ran out, pointed their spears at him, and shouted: "Who is it? Dare to break into the barracks at night! ”
When the sixth son had seen this meeting, he sat on the ground in fright, and said inarticulately: "I...... I'm Xihua... The descendants of the Hou Mansion, finding... My son-in-law ......"
"Who is your son-in-law? We don't know each other, go away! If you don't go away, I'll arrest you as a fine worker! ”
The sixth son hurriedly shouted: "Don't don't, then I bother you to inform Li Chang or General Wang Shicheng, and say that the Hou Ye has returned to the mansion, let them go to the Hou Mansion." ”
As soon as the two guards heard the news about their general, they immediately withdrew their weapons, but still replied indifferently: "Don't run around here, I'll go in and report it, don't blame me for not reminding you, running around the barracks will be killed by random arrows." ”
After saying that, one of them turned around and walked into the camp, while the other returned to the gate of the camp and still stood guard, glancing at the messenger from time to time.
This sixth son was also frightened, and after getting up from the ground, he squatted in place and did not dare to move.
A moment later, Shi Min and Li Chang Wang Shicheng rushed out, Shi Min saw the six sons squatting on the ground, and shouted: "Six sons, what's the situation?" Father has returned home? ”
As soon as the sixth son heard Shi Min's voice, he immediately stood up, tears of excitement were about to come out, and he nodded and said: "This evening, the commander of Shi Yongshi in the palace sent Hou Ye back, and Hou Ye asked me to call you back." ”
The two guards who had just pointed at Liuzi with long hair looked at each other dumbfounded, and then immediately knelt down and saluted Shi Min, and said: "Young General, please forgive me, I don't know that the son of this messenger turned out to be you." ”
"You don't have to be like this, don't blame those who don't know, what's more, I'm just a halberd now, and I'm not a major general, you are loyal to your duties and the best soldier! Get up! ”
"Thank you...... Xie Gongzi! The two didn't know how to call Shi Min for a while, so they could only call him Gongzi like Liuzi.
Li Chang and Wang Shicheng couldn't help but nod approvingly when they saw Shi Min's words and deeds.
Shi Min turned to Li Chang and Wang Shicheng and said, "Two uncles, I'll go home first......
"No, no, no, we'll go with you." Li Chang interrupted Shi Min's words, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Yang Datou! ”
An adjutant general walked out, saluted, and replied, "The last general!" ”
"I went to the general with General Wang, and the military camp is temporarily controlled by you, and if there is anything to report to me as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"The last general commands!"
"Let's go, hurry up, the city gate is about to close, and then you won't be able to enter the city." Wang Shicheng urged on the side.
"Sixth son, get on the horse!" Shi Min rode on his horse and shouted to Liuzi.
When the sixth son saw Shi Min tell him to get on the horse, his heart warmed: "Eh! So he stretched out his hand to grab Shi Min, and several people ran towards Yecheng on horseback.
When Shi Min and the others returned to the Hou Mansion, it happened that the doctor who had treated Qin Wan and her father last time walked out of Shi Zhan's house, and Xu San followed behind.
Shi Min realized that his father was in some condition, and hurriedly grabbed the doctor and asked, "Doctor, why are you here?" ”
Before the doctor could speak, Shi Min let go of the doctor's arm and walked towards Shi Zhan's house.
"Childe!" Xu San hurriedly called out to Shi Min, then walked over and grabbed him, and whispered: "Master Hou has already slept, there is no major matter for Shi Min, just say that he is a little injured, let's go, let's go to the front hall and say." ”
Xu San said, pulled Shi Min to the front hall, and then said to Li Chang and Wang Shicheng: "The two generals are also together, let's not disturb the Hou Ye to rest." ”
Shi Min and Li Chang Wang Shicheng followed Xu San to the front hall, Qin Wan brought some food and warm wine, and said, "Gongzi and the two generals haven't eaten yet, this is hot wine and some food, let's eat something first." ”
Qin Wan raised her head, just as Shi Min's eyes met, Qin Wan was a little shy in an instant, and ran out without saying anything.
Li Chang and Wang Shicheng saw Qin Wan leave and asked Xu San: "Xu San, what's wrong with the eldest brother?" Why did you even invite a doctor? ”
Xu San looked at Li Chang and Wang Shicheng inexplicably, and asked rhetorically: "I also want to ask the two of you, the general is in the barracks, why did he go to the palace and be beaten and bruised and sent back?" ”
"What? Father is injured? Shi Min asked with concern when he heard that his father was injured.
"After being punished with a cane, I can only recuperate in bed for the time being, and I can't get out of bed." Xu San sighed, raised his head and asked Li Chang and Wang Shicheng: "The general went to the barracks a few days ago, why did he go to the palace for some reason, and he was still beaten like this?" ”
Wang Shicheng gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Fortunately, it was just a board, otherwise this matter would be a big deal." ”
"That's! What does it mean to just hit the board? Then why don't you get beaten? Li Chang accused Wang Shicheng with dissatisfaction.
Wang Shicheng just wanted to speak, but Xu San interrupted the argument between the two and asked, "I said can you two stop arguing?" Tell me what's going on? ”
"I'll tell you." Shi Min said on the side: "Early this morning, more than a dozen soldiers who went home to visit relatives were killed by the Qiang people on the road, my father learned the news, and led people to snatch the dozens of people from the patrol camp Liu Rong's hands, and executed them on the spot, Liu Rong informed His Majesty of the matter, so my father was called into the palace, because of the unauthorized handling of the dozens of Qiang people, he was reprimanded by His Majesty. ”
"So that's the case, when Commander Shi sent the general back today, he also said that His Majesty ordered the general to be grounded in the Hou Mansion for three months."
"Think about it, it's so fucking annoying, because of such a shit thing to beat the big brother like this!" Li Chang grumbled on the sidelines.
Wang Shicheng looked at Li Chang and knew that he was born with a stinky temper, and he didn't listen to anyone except Shi Zhan, so he didn't bother to care about him being so open-mouthed.
Seeing that Wang Shicheng didn't speak, Shi Min asked, "Third uncle, why don't you speak?" ”
Wang Shicheng poured a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said: "Although the eldest brother was only grounded by His Majesty's cane this time, there is no doubt that the contradiction between our Han and the Qian people still planted the seeds of contradiction between His Majesty and the eldest brother, and this contradiction will break out sooner or later." ”
"Erupt and erupt! It's a big deal! Lao Tzu is not happy to serve these dogs! When the time comes, we will support the eldest brother as the emperor and the little Min as the crown prince......"
Xu San heard Li Chang's nonsense, so he hurriedly covered Li Chang's mouth, lowered his voice and said, "General Li, don't say such things!" ”
Li Chang pushed Xu San away and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Xu San was pushed away by Li Chang, stumbled and almost fell, and was held up by Shi Min. Shi Min raised his head and said to Li Chang: "Third uncle, you can't be so open-mouthed, otherwise if you are heard by someone with a heart, it will not only harm yourself and your father, but also affect tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city!" ”
"I ......" Li Chang saw that Shi Min also said this, and also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he didn't speak, and sat there and drank stuffy wine.
