Chapter 38: The Father and the Son (I) Part 2

The moonlight was like washing, and the neighborhood of Luoyang City was closed and entered the curfew.

The curfew is not without reason. It turned out that at the beginning of March, Emperor Wen of Sui was fortunate to visit Renshou Palace, but he couldn't afford to fall ill.

The emperor was sick, and Yang Guang, as the crown prince, immediately sent an edict to the world: after the people are decided, there will be curfews everywhere.

The time of the people refers to the time, that is, the stage from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock at night.

In peacetime, this is the time to have fun. Now that the emperor is not in good health, are you still in the mood to have fun? Yang Guang's edict is also to show his filial piety. As a result, the gates of Luoyang City were closed, and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets.

Li Ji rode his lean horse to the Dou family village.

Dismounted at the side door of the old house, he stepped forward and knocked lightly, and after a while, he saw the corner door open, and an old servant walked out of it.

"Mr. Li, the clan elder is waiting for you in the backyard pavilion."

"There is labor!"

Li Ji was not polite, handed over the reins of the horse to the old servant, and drove straight to the back garden.

This quiet path in the old house of the Dou family is the most familiar to him. Therefore, there is no need for people to lead, and there is no one to stop you on the road.

In the gazebo, Dou Wei was talking with a middle-aged man.

The man, about forty years of age, was dressed in a brocade gown with a half-arm coat and a brow twisted.

On the chessboard, the two big dragons, black and white, were entangled and fought fiercely.

Li Ji walked over, did not speak, sat quietly next to him, and watched the chess game.

Dou Wei's chess strength was slightly higher, and he gradually gained the upper hand. The middle-aged man was a little overwhelmed, and after walking more than 20 hands, he threw himself in the towel.

"Uncle, your chess strength is getting more and more spicy."

Dou Wei smiled, "Movol, you have been in Chang'an for a few years, and your chess skills are also good." ”

Movol is one of the eight heavenly dragons of the Buddhist deity, another name for Maharaja. The nobles of Guanlong like to use the names of the gods in Buddhism as nicknames to obtain the protection of the gods. The middle-aged man smiled, then nodded to Li Ji.

"Jiurou, you're here!"

Lee Ki also smiled, but did not speak.

Dou Wei said: "The Zheng family is back today. ”

"I've heard about it, too."

"Do you know what I've been up to lately?"

Li Ji was stunned and shook his head.

"I went to Chang'an and asked Movol to help inquire about the Zheng family's children."

Movol, named Dou Xian, is Dou Yi's eldest son. He also had two older sisters, the second of whom was married to Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang.

Dou Xian is now an official who worships the Tiger Ben Lang and inherits the title of Duke Dou Yi Shenwu.

He carefully put away the chess pieces, listened to Dou Wei's words, raised his head and said, "Jiulang, don't blame the uncle, the uncle is also thinking about you." He asked me to send someone to Xingyang to inquire carefully about the situation of the goose boy. ”

"Why?"

Li Ji looked at Dou Wei strangely, "Why do you want to inquire about Yanqing?" ”

"Well...... Don't you want to know what Movle heard? ”

Li Ji hesitated for a moment and looked at Dou Xian with an inquiring intent in his eyes.

Dou Xian put away the chess pieces, clapped his hands, and sat up straight, "As far as I know, Zheng Yanqing's grandfather, Zheng Shi'an, has no heirs. ”

"So what?"

"When Zheng Shi'an fought with Zheng Dashi in his early years, he injured his lower body, so that he was unable to have children. Since he is infertile and has no heirs, where did Zheng Yanqing come from? ”

"You mean ......"

Li Ji's body trembled slightly, and his face, which always had a little smile, suddenly showed a little nervousness. He clenched his fists and propped his arms on his legs, wanting to ask, but he didn't dare to ask, but at the same time, there was a little inexplicable expectation in his heart.

Dou Wei said: "Movol inquired that Zheng Yanqing was Zheng Shi'an's adopted child.

It is said that in the year when Zheng Dashi left office, he was raised on the way home...... Oh, it looks like it's near Bishui Pass, right? ”

Dou Xian nodded, indicating that Dou Wei was not wrong.

"Jiulang, you must not know that the year Zheng Dashi stepped down was exactly the eighteenth year of the emperor."

"Ahh

Li Ji finally couldn't help it and exclaimed.

"And it's in mid-autumn."

Dou Wei didn't seem to care, picked up a glass of wine from the Western Regions beside him, and said in a deep voice: "I remember that Jiulang's daughter-in-law was killed that year...... Jiulang was not at home at that time because your sister-in-law was pregnant and happened to be in Longzhou. Movol inspected the official documents of Bishui Guan and found that Zheng Shi'an adopted Zheng Yanqing, which was the second day of the Zhoushan tragedy. ”

The Zhoushan tragedy is synonymous with the murder of Li Ji's wife.

Li Ji's body trembled violently.

"Zhoushan, it's still far from Bishui Pass."

"That's true, but it's not too far, it's only half a journey. Movol sent people to check the records of Bishui Pass, but there was no record of the loss of babies in that year. At that time, the guard of Bishui would be a member of the Zheng family, and in the first year of Renshou, he was implicated by the hidden prince and was assigned to Lingnan, which is estimated to be dead...... The other day you told me that your child is also called Yanqing, and I felt a little strange. How could a house slave come up with such a good name?

If it's Zheng Dashi's grandson, I believe it.

But if it's Zheng Sai On's grandson, I don't believe it anymore......"

Li Ji's cheeks twitched, he got up suddenly, turned his head and left.

"Jiurou, where are you going?"

"I'm going to ask Zheng Shi'an if that kid is my Yanqing."

"You're crazy!"

Dou Wei suddenly put away his smile and shouted sternly, "Why do you ask?" If Zheng Shi'an asks you, how will you answer?

Don't forget, what is your identity now, even if Yanqing is your child, is it possible that you want him to follow you and be scared and drift around? I can understand your feelings, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Movol to help you find out. But now, you really can't talk about it, otherwise not only you, but the child will also suffer. ”

Li Ji knew that Dou Wei was not alarmist.

He is now a person who cannot see the light, if Yanqing is really his child, can he take it with him?

"I know, but I ......"

Li Ji's voice trembled, and he couldn't speak anymore.

Suddenly, he crouched on the steps of the gazebo and began to cry loudly.

There is joy, there is sorrow, and more often than not, there is a kind of helplessness......

He couldn't confirm that Yanqing was his child. But in his heart, he was already sure that Yanqing was his son.

The eyes, the face, and the smile were a replica of his mother.

I think when he first heard Yan Qing's name and saw Yan Qing again, he almost thought it was his child. Unexpectedly, the intuition at that time turned out to be a reality. looks so similar to his mother, his name is Yanqing, and he was still raised by Zheng Shi'an in the mid-autumn of the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign...... Aside from the location, all other factors match.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

For six years, Lee Ki has been living in self-blame. If he didn't go to Longzhou at the beginning, but stayed in Zhoushan Yanjia Village, maybe his father and son would not have been separated for six years like this, but now they are obviously facing each other, but they can't recognize each other.

Dou Wei and Dou Xian can understand Li Ji's mood.

How would a big man feel when he cried so loudly?

"Jiulang, don't do this." Dou Xian stepped forward, hugged Li Ji, and comforted him in a low voice: "If the goose boy is really your child, you should be happy." Look at him, he has such talent at a young age, and he must be blessed by his younger siblings. Although you can't recognize him, you can see him every day, isn't it also a kind of happiness? ”

"I, I, I ......"

Li Ji couldn't cry.

Dou Wei said: "Jiulang, don't worry.

I'll find a way to confirm this, and if he's really your child, I can assure you that I won't let him be bullied.

But be prepared......"

"What preparation?"

"I came back from Chang'an this time, and I heard that the saint may not be able to do it. Zhang Qiu Taiyi once said that Renshou Palace cannot be visited, and it is difficult to return if you go. For this reason, the sage also sent Zhang Qiu Taiyi to the heavenly prison, preparing to wait for him to come back and then deal with it. But now...... After the prince returned from Renshou Palace, he secretly released Zhang Qiu Taiyi and had a secret conversation with him for a long time.

I don't know exactly what the conversation was about, but judging from the prince's performance afterwards, it is very likely that he will repair Luoyang and then move the capital. ”

"What?" When Li Ji heard this, he was shocked.

Dou Xian said: "I also heard a little news, I came back this time to prepare for the order. It is said that Zhang Qiu Taiyi and Shangshu Du Guo of the Ministry of Industry will soon arrive in Luoyang to explore feng shui. If so, then the relocation of the capital is a foregone conclusion. ”

Zhang Qiu Taiyi is one of the two famous gods in the world today, and he is as famous as Yuan Shoucheng.

However, Yuan Shoucheng was obsessed with cultivation and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the red world; But Zhang Qiu Taiyi is different, he is a royal magic stick.

Since it is a god stick, it naturally has a place for its gods to chatter.

At least so far, Zhang Qiu Taiyi's predictions have never failed to come true.

This also makes him even more mysterious. This time, he dissuaded Emperor Wen of Sui from visiting Renshou Palace, and it was another prophecy, which made Dou Wei and others have to believe it. Although Zi Bu is silent and strange and confused, this kind of thing would rather be believed!

If Yang Guang really decides to move the capital, then the officials of the DPRK and China, and the forces of all parties will shift their focus.

If Li Ji stays in Luoyang any longer, it is very likely that his identity will be exposed.

Dou Wei asked him to prepare for the evacuation of the ...... But the question is, now that he just has a clue about his son, how can he be willing to let him evacuate?

"Jiulang, don't be in a hurry, I'm just asking you to get ready, it's two things to say whether you can go or not."

Lee Ki took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"In this matter, I will listen to my uncle's arrangement."

"Well, it's getting late tonight, so don't go back. I'll let someone arrange it for you, and you'll make do with it all night. ”

"Uncle, I'm a little confused at the moment, so I'll go down first."

"Good!"

Dou Wei nodded, clapped his hands, and motioned for his subordinates to take Li Ji away.

Looking at his slightly rickety back, Dou Wei and Dou Xian couldn't help but sigh softly.

The saddest thing in this world is that father and son are facing each other, but they can't recognize each other, or even ...... And because of this, they will be separated.

"Movol, you pay attention to it again, and help Jiulang find out more.

I think this matter, ** is not far from ten, the goose boy is likely to be Jiulang's child, you have to think more about it. ”

Dou Xian bowed, "Uncle, I will pay attention to this matter." ”
