Chapter 560: Marching into the Grassland (6)
After listening to Yuan Xiaozheng's words, Yuan Junzhang's heart slowly unraveled. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yuan Junzhang hugged Yuan Xiaozheng:
"Zheng'er! It's good to be back, it's good to be back! It's just wonderful. Remember, Zheng'er, you must never leave your father again in the future, because you are old and can't worry about you anymore. Yuan Xiaozheng was already moved in his heart when he heard Yuan Junzhang whispering to his bed.
"Daddy, don't worry, the child will never leave you again, the child was ignorant before, and it made Daddy angry. By the way, Daddy, the child went to Chang'an this time, and has already met Li Jiancheng, His Majesty the Emperor has decided, we must send troops to the grassland, conquer the Turks, and sweep the desert, Daddy, the child feels that the time has come for us to return to the Central Plains. Yuan Junzhang removed his hand from Yuan Xiaozheng's body:
"Humph! Filial piety! If you go to Chang'an, you will suddenly become a loyal minister of Li Jiancheng. ”
"Hey! Daddy, how long do you think this restoration regime of the former Sui can be supported, plus the Lili Khan has made up his mind to give up Monan, the former Sui regime will be wiped out at any time, plus Daddy, haven't you understood yet? We Han people are a homeless stray dog here, and they are hungry wolves occupying the grassland, when they ask the Central Plains for money and food, these hungry wolves will take us dogs to slob and get some leftovers, but once the Central Plains has no fishing, they will come to exploit us, once we are a little stronger, we are afraid that we will not be controlled, and we will be assassinated immediately, the example of Liu Wuzhou is in front of us! Daddy, you've got to make up your mind! Yuan Junzhang did not answer Yuan Xiaozheng's words directly. Just told Yuan Xiaozheng:
"Filial piety! You just stay here these days and don't go anywhere! I'll bring you the food and drink myself! ”
"Daddy, you haven't answered the child's words yet!?" Yuan Junzhang glanced at Yuan Xiaozheng:
"Filial piety! You remember, you are a dead man now, and the dead man should not speak for a while! Wait until later, and then think about it in the long run. After Yuan Junzhang finished speaking, he walked out directly. Yuan Xiaozheng was anxious, Li Jiancheng was about to lead the troops into the grassland, if the soldiers came to Heng'an City, and his father and the Tang army were inseparable, then Li Jiancheng's great cause of pacifying the Lili Khan would be in vain, and his future in Li Tang would be worrying! Yuan Junzhang walked out of Yuan Xiaozheng's bedroom and happened to meet the general:
"Yo! General, you're finally sober! That's great! Yuan Junzhang looked at the general:
"Yuan Da, you will preside over the young master's funeral, and tomorrow, General Ben will go to the barracks to deal with military affairs." The head of the family is an orphan adopted by Yuan Junzhang, so the surname is Yuan! Yuan Junzhang was about to go back to sleep, and the general of the family called Yuan Junzhang:
"General, tomorrow, you don't have to go to the barracks."
"Why?" Yuan Junzhang had a tiger face and looked at the general.
"Big ...... Big...... General, it's not that the small ones won't let you go...... Go to the barracks, just ......" The commander of the family saw Yuan Junzhang's tiger face, so the voice of the commander of the family became a little trembling.
"Say it! Don't spit it out. ”
"This is an order from His Royal Highness the King of Sui, His Royal Highness the King of Sui said, General, you have suffered the pain of losing your son and need to cultivate, so it has been ordered that General Gao Manzheng will take over your military affairs." Yuan Junzhang let go of the general's command. To say that in this area of Monan, in addition to those tribes in Monan, the person Yuan Junzhang cares about the most is this Gao Manzheng. Gao Manzheng, former general of Sui Mayi Town, after Liu Wuzhou killed Wang Rengong and raised troops, Gao Manzheng responded to Liu Wuzhou and raised troops against Sui, and was one of the generals under Liu Wuzhou, if it were not for Liu Wuzhou's Chinese language relying on and indulging Song Jingang, Yuan Junzhang believed that Liu Wuzhou would not necessarily be so badly defeated. After Liu Wuzhou's death, the Eastern Turkic Lili Khan and the Sui King Yang Zhengdao jointly ordered Yuan Junzhang to command Liu Wuzhou's old department, at that time, some of Liu Wuzhou's old troops were unwilling to belong to Yuan Junzhang's command, and almost caused a large-scale fight, it was Gao Manzheng who helped Yuan Junzhang appease the army, and Gao Manzheng was bold and strong, and his martial arts were also strong, not to mention Liu Wuzhou's old department in the army, that is, Yuan Junzhang himself and his subordinates also had a lot of friendship with Gao Manzheng, and Yuan Junzhang was not willing to tear his face with Gao Manzheng, At that time, if Gao Manzheng was bent on resisting Li Tang, Yuan Junzhang didn't know what would happen! Yuan Junzhang remained silent, and instructed Yuan Da, the commander of the family:
"Yuan Da, the young master is gone, General Ben has not been in a good mood recently, and he has been living in the young master's bedroom recently, so you can waste more snacks about the young master's funeral!"
"Yes! General! When the general was about to leave, Yuan Junzhang stopped him again:
"Yuan Da, don't worry, General Ben is sober, don't tell anyone. It's business as usual in the house! ”
"Yes! General! After Yuan Junzhang returned to Yuan Xiaozheng's bedroom, Yuan Xiaozheng saw Yuan Junzhang:
"Daddy, what's the matter with you, have you figured it out?"
"Filial piety! You immediately rushed back to Li Tang and told Li Jiancheng, just say that now there are more changes in Heng'an, Gao Manzheng was sent to Heng'an by Yang Zhengdao, and he has some restraint on me. ”
"Daddy! No, if Li Tangce rebels against Gao Manzheng, we will have no bargaining chips. Ouch! "Yuan Xiaozheng's forehead was hit by a 'burst' from Yuan Junzhang.
"Boy, you really don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, Gao Manzheng has an old mother in the Central Plains, and a younger brother, since Gao Manzheng rebelled, he has been inquiring about their news, you know what to do!" Yuan Xiaozheng thought for a moment:
"Daddy, what do you mean ......"
"Daddy also admires this Gao Manzheng a little, if he can not tear his face, he will not tear his face."
"Daddy Takami!" Yuan Xiaozheng received instructions from Yuan Junzhang and was about to leave. Yuan Junzhang suddenly stopped him again.
"Daddy, have you changed your mind?" Yuan Junzhang shook his head:
"Zheng'er, it's not that Daddy has changed his mind, on the one hand, you and my father and son finally met each other, Daddy misses you so much, on the other hand, you have been working all the way on the saddle horse without rest, this is late at night. Daddy is afraid that you will be in danger! Yuan Xiaozheng smiled:
"Thank you, Daddy!" Li Jiancheng anxiously waited for news from Heng'an. When Yuan Xiaozheng came back and revealed to Li Jiancheng that he hoped to find Gao Manzheng's old mother and younger brother, Li Jiancheng ordered Di Renjie to bring him the detailed information of Gao Manzheng:
"Gao Manzheng, a former Sui Shuozhou person, was originally born in Orion, and later enlisted as a soldier because of a Turkic invasion to assist the official army in resisting the Turks. Later, because of many meritorious contributions, his official position was continuously improved, and in the year of the Great Cause, he was already a middle-level officer. It was only because Yang Guang failed to conquer Goguryeo and lost his military spirit that he followed Liu Wuzhou, who was also a general under Liu Wuzhou. It's just that because Liu Wuzhou relied too much on Song Jingang, His Majesty was not very familiar with Gao Manzheng. ”
"Hmmm! O Huaiying! According to Yuan Xiaozheng, Gao Manzheng also has an old mother and a younger brother, do you have any news about them? ”
"Oh! Your Majesty! This Gao Manzheng has an old mother, Gao Manzheng lost his father when he was a child, and his old mother brought him up, in addition, his younger brother is not Gao Manzheng's own brother! It is his mother's nephew, and he is also young and lost, and he was brought up by Gao Manzheng's old mother, and when Gao Manzheng left home, he was taken care of by his mother at home, and Gao Manzheng sent his own money every month! Later, Gao Manzheng followed Liu Wuzhou to rebel, and his mother and brother were punished, because his mother was old and his brother was young, so he was not allowed to die and enter the palace. ”
"Oh! So where are they now? ”
"Wechen has found them, just outside the palace!"
"Oh! Mingyu! Hurry up and let Mrs. Gao and General Gao's younger brother hurry up and meet you! ”
"Yes!" Mingyu's father-in-law agreed, and hurried out the door. After a while, Mingyu's father-in-law and another eunuch walked in with an old lady dressed as a blind palace slave.
"Mingyu! Huaiying! Didn't I ask you to bring General Gao Manzheng's mother and brother along? Why is there only the mother of General Gao Manzheng? Where is General Gao Manzheng's younger brother now? Well! The eunuch next to General Gao Manzheng's mother replied:
"Long live Qiyu! Slave Gao Manzhi, see Your Majesty! ”
"Ahh You're Gao Manji! Then General Gao Manzheng is ......," Gao Manzheng's mother said:
"Your Majesty! Originally, Zhi'er went to the border to do hard labor, because he had to take care of me, an old woman, so he asked the palace steward and eunuch to cut his own minggenzi. All this blames me for being useless, and I also blame my son who is not angry, this official has done a good job, and he has to rebel! I've got my cure! Gao Manzhi wiped tears for Gao Manzheng's mother.
"Mother! Don't cry! If it weren't for you and my big brother, I would have starved to death! Mother, don't cry! After Li Jiancheng listened to the conversation between Gao Manzheng's mother and Gao Manzhi, Li Jiancheng understood that Gao Manzheng implicated Gao Manzheng's mother and Gao Manzhi because of the rebellion. Gao Manzheng's mother was going to enter the palace, and Gao Manzhi was originally going to be sent to the frontier to do hard labor. But because he had to take care of Gao Manzheng's mother, he cut his own minggenzi, and Li Jiancheng's heart was full of respect for Gao Manzhi. You must know that Huaxia has always had the idea of not being filial and having three, and no queen is great, if there is no son, it means that there will be no descendants to offer incense and paper money after death. Gao Manzhi was able to cut off his own children for an adoptive mother. I don't know how high and heavy this friendship is compared to Gao Manzheng! Li Jiancheng secretly wiped his tears:
"Grandpa Gao! Don't worry, if your eldest brother can come back this time, I won't treat you badly after this incident! If your eldest brother is willing, I will let him give you a son so that he can inherit your incense! If your eldest brother is unwilling, I will ask the government to pick a few elves and clever ones, and I won't let you be a lonely ghost anyway! In addition, Mrs. Gao, you can rest assured, if your eldest son is willing to come back, I will also treat him well and reunite your family! After Gao Manzheng's mother and Gao Manzhi listened to Li Jiancheng's words, they both knelt down in thanks!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!"
