After the soldiers guarding the gate of the village reported the news that Tian Chou and Tian Jing had returned to Xu Wushan, the entire Xu Wushan Village suddenly became lively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Chou led the ordinary old brothers to greet Tian Jing at the gate of the village.

As soon as Tian Jing saw Tian Chou come out, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Father is above, and the unfilial son is back." ”

Tian Chou saw that this was not who his son was, after two years outside, not only was he taller, but he was also much more calm and stable, Tian Chou was happy from the bottom of his heart. But outside, the appearance of Yan's father still has to be there. deliberately put on a straight face, "Where have you been in the past two years, and you don't bring a letter to your family, but you just let your mother worry about it." ”

Tian Jing's eyes turned red, "It's all children who are unfilial, which makes my father and mother miss it." However, the experience of the children in the past two years is also rich, and they have made some achievements, and when I return to the house in a while, my father and I will have to report to my father about many things. ”

Tian Chou brought Tian Jing into the village, and the father and son went home directly.

Tian Jing first went to the inner hall to see his mother, but his mother's physical condition was not very good. Mrs. cried with joy when she saw Tian Jing, and her son, who had been separated for two years, finally came back. Not only is it safe and sound, but it has grown up and matured. Seeing that her son was happy, the old lady's body seemed to be much better all of a sudden.

Tian Jing asked his mother to rest first and come to visit in the evening, while he went to discuss important matters with his father.

Tian Jing and his father went to the hall and asked, "Father, it seems that our Xu Wushanzhai people are becoming more and more prosperous." Now it must have a population of two or three thousand. ”

Tian Chou smiled, "That's not all, I'm afraid it's almost 5,000 people." After all, the war in Youzhou is non-stop, and the people's lives are not peaceful. No one dares to grow grain, because they don't know if they will have time to harvest it next year. Moreover, although there was no large-scale military operation in Wuhuan, Liaoxi, small-scale looting never stopped. Now the people who come here are all relatives who have no end in sight, and they come here from time to time. The Father has no rule but gives them food and allows them to cultivate the land and provide for themselves. I don't want to have the current scale in two years. ”

Tian Jing was also taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were so many people, it seems that it is very important for ordinary people to eat a full meal in troubled times. "Then I wonder how many soldiers are guarding the safety now?"

Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "There aren't many people, and the standing guard force is only 200 people, all of whom are those old brothers and their children back then. In addition, 600 people were selected from the pro-strong to train while farming, and these people were divided into three tuns, which were rotated every two months, and they did not delay production at ordinary times. ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, almost 6 people raised a soldier. At least it's much better than the situation in Hedong, its own.

At this time, Tian Chou asked about Tian Jing's situation in the past two years. Tian Jing briefly said that he went south to rescue Xuzhou, and later entered the customs, was summoned by Emperor Xian, and then served as the captain of Hu Qi, rescued Emperor Xian from Li Dao and Guo Yan, and returned to Luoyang, and established a base in Hedong, and was successively promoted to the post of general of Zhendong and Zhengbei.

Don't look at it as simple, but it's thrilling enough, Tian Chou didn't expect this son to do so many great things in a short period of time, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay! All right! What Daddy didn't do at the beginning, I didn't expect you to do it. It turns out that I still underestimated you, and I didn't have you to make such a big achievement in a short period of time. By the way, you can tell me about the situation in Hedong, and I'll see if I can give you an idea. ”

Tian Jing told him about the current situation in Hedong again, and Tian Chou frowned when he heard it, "Child, don't blame your father for hitting you, you Hedong is now a dead place." To the south is Zhang Xiu, to the west is Li Dao, to the north is Xianbei, and to the east is Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan and Hanoi Zhang Yang. Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yang are allies, you can't attack, but they are both weak, and it is very likely that they will be eaten by others, and then your rear and flanks will be threatened. If you go west to enter the pass, even if you defeat Li Dao, what you get is a scorched earth, and you want to recuperate, but others will not give you time. Xianbei in the north, I heard that the leader Kebineng is a male lord who can be compared to the beautiful sandalwood and stone Huai Danyu, he has long had the ambition to dominate the Central Plains, and you are his first stumbling block. Although the senior cadres of Bingzhou have no ability, but he has Yuan Shao behind him, and if you want to go through Bingzhou, you will be the enemy of Yuan Shao's more than 200,000 horses. So you're sitting dead right now. And the population of Hedong is only 20,000, but you now feed almost 10,000 troops. If it weren't for the accumulation of previous war captures, your Hedong would have gone bankrupt long ago. ”

Of course, Tian Jing also knew about Hedong's problems, but he didn't see it as thoroughly as his father, and when he heard Tian Chou say this, he was really a little nervous. Fortunately, he knew that Yuan Cao would fight sooner or later, and there was Zhang Yan's variable, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

But now is not the time to say it, or Daddy will suspect that he is a monster. I had to say that I also had a headache, and I had to think about it when I got back.

happened to talk about the situation in Hedong, Tian Jing threw out a question that bothered him and asked Tian Chou: "Father, the child still has something unclear now, if sooner or later there is a day between the Son of Heaven and the minister, then where should the child go?" ”

Tian Chou thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "Actually, being a father naturally hopes that you can be loyal, but since you have this question, it means that you have your own ideas. My father was reluctant to accept the edict of the imperial court, on the one hand, because he wanted to repay the favor of the deceased, and on the other hand, because he knew that he could not do anything, and he was unwilling to go along with Li Guo. But after so long, my father also figured it out, if the Son of Heaven is a wise monarch like Gaozu and Guangwu, then there is no regret about doing his best; But if the Son of Heaven is weak in virtue and the people are not happy, then instead of blindly being foolish and loyal, it is better to be benevolent to the people. The so-called ministers are in charge, and the Duke of Zhou was also a powerful minister, but the Duke of Zhou governed the world in an orderly manner, so everyone regarded the Duke of Zhou as a virtuous; When Wang Mang was the prime minister, he was both a powerful minister and a virtuous minister, but later he usurped the throne and reformed the system indiscriminately, and the people rebelled, so he was a traitor. From this point of view, whether or not you can govern the world well is the key, but whether there is a Daoming monarch or a virtuous minister who governs the world, it is possible to meet but not to seek. If you get one of them, the people will be very fortunate and the world will be very lucky. ”

Tian Jing was impressed by his father after hearing this, he is not a blindly loyal person, nor is he an opportunist, but has a real people-oriented thinking. It's a bit of Mencius's "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." ”

In this case, there is no burden in my heart now, in other words, no matter what choice I make in the future, my father will support him.

Tian Jing and Tian Chou chatted for a long time, and then went to the inner hall to have dinner with their mother. During the banquet, Tian Jing asked when his mother began to be ill, and Tian Chou said: "When I first moved to Xu Wushan Cottage two years ago, I worried about things big and small in the village every day, and I couldn't take care of my family at all. Your mother was originally considered a beautiful lady and had never suffered hardship. But this time he came to the mountains to avoid it, but he dismissed the slaves. Your mother cooks at home every day, and even chops wood for the fire, but at first she didn't think that she had a serious illness in the winter. At that time, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and there were no good doctors, so it took more than a month to get better. Later, the root of the current disease fell to the root. ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said, "Daddy, mother, the child knows a good doctor in Hedong, but it's a pity that the journey is too far and it is difficult to invite him for a while." But in the future, if there is a chance, he will definitely let him help his mother heal well. ”

Speaking of doctors, Tian Jing remembered that he had not yet told his parents about his marriage. And he said, "By the way, the child has something to accuse his father and mother of. The child has become a relative in Hedong, because the mountains and rivers block the transportation is inconvenient, and I can't tell you two elders in advance. This time I wanted to bring them to meet you, but because of the bad roads, they didn't make the trip. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely bring them back. ”

Tian Chou was happy when he heard it, "I also said that you are not young, and it is time to help you with this matter." I didn't expect you to come to a prelude, hehe, okay! If you get married, the man should get married, and the woman should get married, and when you get married, you will have a family, which means you have to take on more responsibilities. To be honest, if I had been before, I was really worried that you were a teenager and wouldn't be able to last. In this way, you can now grasp the path you have chosen. ”

Mrs. Tian was beside her, but she didn't do it, "I said old man, what nonsense are you talking about." When the child is married, you don't ask whose child you get, how can there be so much reason. By the way, son, my mother heard you say, 'Bring them back', didn't you marry two wives? ”

Tian Jingxin said, it is still the ear of the old lady, and said with a smile, "It is a wife and a concubine, and the wife is married to the daughter of Wenhou Lu Bu, and the righteous daughter of Yang Biao, the imperial lieutenant, surnamed Lu Mingwen, is one year younger than the child." can be literary and martial, and can be regarded as a tiger girl. The concubine is married to Qi Ying, the daughter of Qi Min, a famous doctor in Hedong, who is one year older than me, but has a gentle personality, is proficient in medical skills, and is also a good internal helper. ”

When the old lady heard this, she was very happy, "My son, you have grown so big, so you can do this matter to make my mother's heart useful." If you go back this time, hurry up and let your daughter-in-law give birth to the child, and then take care of your mother for your mother. ”

After hearing this, Tian Jing laughed, "That's natural, it's just that the next time the child wants to go back to Youzhou, I'm afraid it will take another year or two." I just don't know if my mother can't wait. ”

When Mrs. Tian heard this, she really took it seriously, "It's been so long for two years, why don't you go back to Hedong with you for your mother this time, your father is an old bone, if he doesn't want to leave, let him stay here, I'll go with you." ”

Tian Jing smiled, "Mother, I'm laughing, I'm really not in a hurry to give birth to a child, I'm only seventeen this year, so it's okay to give birth later." I am now the general of the imperial court to conquer the north, and there are many wars in the Quartet, but I am afraid that there will be no stability for a while, and now I have a child, I am afraid that I will drag down my wife and children. I'll talk about that later. ”

Mrs. Tian still insisted, but Tian Chou interrupted, "Okay, the child naturally has his own ideas when he grows up, so you can do what he wants." Besides, we can't control him from such a distance. By the way, my father suddenly remembered something, do you know a person named Lu Yu, in the past two years, he has sent someone to send a total of four letters from Liaodong, and my father has helped you collect them, and he has not opened them. ”

When Tian Jing heard this, he suddenly thought that he persuaded him and Zhao Yun to release the captured boy on the Luhe battlefield that day. Unexpectedly, he went to Liaodong, and he also wrote a letter to himself, what was written in the letter, but he had to take a good look.
