Where is the road ahead 2

Brocade silk barriers, loess paving, after the war Wuyang was devastated, the people were not busy rebuilding their homes, but dragged their tired bodies to pave the way for the envoys sent by Jidu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Taishou Gongsun Ya, with the support of Li Gai, did not see the cowardice of the past, and took the county officials to the military camp to ask Zhao Zheng to send troops to pave the way. But the majesty was beaten by the head of the fish in just three seconds, and he was carried out of the barracks with his face covered.

"General, the prince is less than twenty miles away from the city, and the old man has already taken the officials and squires out of the city ten miles to greet him, why don't we go out and make up the scene?"

Zhao Zheng buried his head in fiddling with the battle armor and bow and crossbow seized from the Hu people, glanced up at the words of the fish head, and continued to fiddle and said: "The injury is unbearable, bedridden, obviously not here to reward our brothers, stick to their cold faces." ”

"By the way, how is Mr. Dongfang's family arranged?"

The fish head said stupidly: "It's arranged, the four rabbits and Xiaobu are waiting day and night, and the grandson and grandson can't help them." ”

When defending the city, in order to stabilize the situation, Dongfang Valley led troops to massacre the nobles with two hearts. Now that Ji Du has come to investigate, the crown prince Ji Dan as an envoy will naturally not deal with Zhao Zheng, so they will concentrate their firepower on Dongfang Valley. He was falsely accused of killing nobles and was cowardly in wartime.

When the Hu people entered the city, Gongsun Ya was forced to defend at the north gate with a cadre of government offices, and he didn't even see a single Hu man from beginning to end, until he finally grabbed a few corpses and shouted for his military exploits.

Dongfang Valley stayed behind in the forbidden city to stabilize the rear, and the hard work of stabilizing the hearts of 100,000 people was framed as cowardice. But the Prime Minister's Mansion believed Gongsun Ya's false accusations, dismissed the official and cut his post and almost fell into prison.

"Even if Brother Dongfang is so far, I will sacrifice my life to protect his family." Zhao Zheng stopped his hand and said, "Put on your armor and get on the horse, you take ten guards out of the city with me, I want to see how Ji Dan says to me about dismissal and dismissal." ”

Ten miles outside the city of Jidu, Ji Dan rode on a horse and looked at the blackened city wall in the distance, even the decorative brocade was crumpled and did not look good. The tragic and abnormal battle of Wuyang seems to be true, but King Yan wants to erase Zhao Zheng's exploits, thinking that his thousands of people died in vain but could not bring him any benefits, which made him more and more resentful.

Deputy Envoy Guo Kai greeted Ji Kui, Li Gai and other officials with a smile, but Ji Dan ignored the flattering officials with a cold face, looking for the familiar figure everywhere.

"Click, click~"

A group of several horsemen arrived, and before the knight saluted, Li Gai reprimanded: "Bold Zhao Zheng, he actually galloped in front of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Who knew that Ji Dan didn't buy his love at all, and took three steps and made two steps to urge him to step forward and grab Zhao Zheng's reins and said: "The king of Guzhichang fought in Wuyang, and fought against 100,000 tiger soldiers with 8,000 soldiers. ”

The officials were stunned, and the king of Changguo, Le Yi, was the general of King Yan Zhao, and led 100,000 male soldiers to sweep through the eastern overlord Qi State. Today, King Yan refuted Zhao Zheng and punished him, but the prince praised him.

Why doesn't this plot follow the routine, Li Gai quietly pulled Guo Kai's sleeve and asked, "General Guo, Zhao Zheng was rewarded in the king's edict?" ”

Guo Kai chin chuckled and laughed quietly: "No, Bai Zhanmeng will be degraded by Lord Li's mansion report, so I can't wait for the prince to praise him privately." ”

"You... Don't forget that you are the king's minion, leaving Zhao Zheng will inevitably expand the power of the prince, where will the king be then? ”

Li Gai's words were heartfelt, Guo Kai didn't care, the court was crushed by the ups and downs of the faction, but he was the only one who sat in the Ruishi camp for nearly ten years, and he was an out-and-out lonely minister.

He doesn't care who is on the chair in the palace of Jidu, he is only loyal to King Yan, even if King Yan is faint and mediocre, and the prince Dan is wise and promising, but the king is the king, the minister is the minister, and the prince will not have the right to collide with the majesty of the king of Yan if he does not succeed to the throne for a day.

It's just that he is also a soldier in the army, Guo Xingxing admires Zhao Zheng's great achievements in defending the city, so he does not make any excuses about the aristocratic officials who slandered Zhao Zheng.

The more Prince Dan spoke, the more affectionate he became, and finally squeezed out a few tears, Zhao Zheng wanted to laugh in his heart and had to force a look of gratitude.

"Your Highness doesn't need to feel guilty about Zhao Zheng, leading the troops to fight on the battlefield, your long-cherished wish has come true, and you can't repay Your Highness's great kindness with death.

As a Yan general, it is his duty to defend the city in a bloody battle, and his subordinates do not ask for rewards, but most of the brothers in the army are children of poor people, and the war without rewards makes it difficult for the family to live. Zhao Zheng also squeezed out a few tears.

"The general can rest assured, Gu will not let my soldiers suffer, and he should be rewarded with wealth. In addition, I think that they must be physically and mentally exhausted after the war, so why don't you go back to Zhuo County with Gu to rest, as for the soldiers you bring with you, how about the other allocation. ”

Zhao Zheng's heart tightened, he raised his head and stared at it for a moment and bowed his head silently, Yutou and Ji Daliu heard it, and leaned over and bowed: "Thank you for the grace of Your Highness, but the brothers are reluctant to separate with the general for a long time, but a few hundred remnants hope that Your Highness will be fulfilled." ”

"Uh, hahaha, you are so loyal and righteous that you should be a model for the Great Yan soldiers, then Gu will answer you and continue to be led by Zhao Zheng."

Zhao Zheng felt a chill in his heart, King Yan disposed of himself and couldn't openly solicit him, Ji Dan decisively gave up himself and sought the second, and transferred the pro-army who followed his bloody battle, so he could get a complete set of grassroots training experience. The monarch is secretly fighting for the ministers, and there are no gentlemen in the court of Yanguo, and they are all villains.

"The hour is not early, whether His Highness will announce the edict."

Guo Kai went straight in, and Ji Dan said stupidly: "You can read it." ”

"The edict of the king of Dayan: ...... However, his wanton behavior caused great damage to the temple of the ancestors...... It was demoted to the order of Gucheng County, and the people under his command were compiled into Gucheng County Pawns......"

"The guilty minister leads the edict, thank you for the king's grace."

Zhao Zheng had a trace of sadness on his face, and leaned over to take the cloth with both hands.

The time to come finally came, but the dead and wounded brothers had to be compensated according to the treatment of the county guards, one stone of corn per person. And because he didn't let Ji Dan transfer the Protector Army, the promise of a reward for private power was afraid of falling through.

A few days later, on the way to Gucheng, Dongfang Gu sat in the carriage and carefully looked through the account books in his hand. A few days ago, Gongsun Ya and other county officials were promoted to a higher level, and he was lucky to be exempted, but he was no longer hired, and he was a civilian for a day in Yan Kingdom.

The reward is unfair, the temple is undoubtedly unequivocal, and he has no nostalgia for officialdom, on the contrary, he is very surprised by his current identity. Tao Yuan officially gave up the position of the Zhao family's housekeeper, and he joined the army as a head trainer.

"Husband has been busy for a long time, so stop and rest." A virtuous woman said, holding a glass of juice. She is the woman Zhao Zheng saw when he woke up from poisoning that day, she was the wife of the main room of Dongfang Valley, and she gave birth to a daughter, Dongfang Zhi.

Dongfang Gu put down the pen and drank the juice, and said after a long time: "In the past, I thought that the money and grain in Wuyang Guan County were abundant, but today I can see that the lord's family is amazed, and the tavern has a monthly income of 10,000 gold.

Regardless of the lord's reward of five thousand taels of gold, he didn't blink a glance, and such wealth was more than enough to support an army. ”

Mrs. Dongfang was also happy to see her husband lose his temper like this, but after chatting for a long time, Dongfang Valley was talking about how to develop his power and prepare his arms, and she was dissatisfied and didn't pretend to be angry.

Most capable men are afraid of guilt, Liu Bang is like this, Yang Jian is like this, Dongfang Gu hurriedly asked: "Isn't it because my husband said something wrong and annoyed Mrs. ”

"Where does the concubine dare to reprimand the head of the largest commercial house in Yan Kingdom, I just hope that you will consider me and Zhi'er while you are busy developing and growing."

"Madame, rest assured, the lord has already arranged a place to live, and I am afraid that you will be bored, so I have found you a comfortable position as a housekeeper. Although the lord was sent to Gucheng, we went to Dayi County, Yannan, so we don't have to worry about life in the future. ”

Mrs. Dongfang burst into tears, how could she not have found her husband so incomprehensible before, and said helplessly: "The concubine is talking about Zhi'er, why don't we think about this girl for many years." ”

Dongfang Gu remembered, looked around and didn't find his daughter, and asked anxiously: "Where has Zhi'er gone, don't get lost on the march." ”

Mrs. Dongfang sweated wildly and lifted the curtain Nunu's mouth. Dongfang Zhi sat on the horse and teased a little squirrel in her hand, not talking and laughing with the knight behind her.

"When did Zhi'er get on Yingbu's horse, this... What a system this becomes! ”

There is only one pet in the army, and there is only one person who is only ten years old and serves as the commander of the tenth, Yingbu who is holding a Tang knife and kills people like hemp. The slaughter of the two-hearted nobles was carried out by Yingbu's personal guard, Dongfang Gu had a deep memory of this young man, and he had always treated him as a peer, but at this time, his daughter was actually held on a horse by this cold-faced boy.

"Bastard, even if he is the righteous son of the Lord, he will not dare to be rude to my daughter." Dongfang Gu Qingjian is about to go out.

Mrs. Dongfang hurriedly stopped and said angrily: "What's rude, two childhood sweethearts are playing, why are you running out to disturb?" ”

Dongfang Gu thought that Yingbu was only ten years old, his daughter was only eleven years old, and there was no rudeness for the two children to bathe naked, but if Yingbu dared to do this, he swore that he would chase and cut with a knife.

"Don't look at it." Dongfang Gu has always regarded Yingbu as the same age, and at this time, watching his daughter being held in his arms is naturally very twisted.

Mrs. Dongfang smiled: "Husband should be happy, so wouldn't your position be more stable." ”

"Madame said that she would marry Zhi'er to Yingbu, but he is only ten years old!"

"You can get engaged, it's a good time to cultivate a relationship between childhood sweethearts and two little guesses, and besides, Yingbu can be a ten-man at the age of ten, so wouldn't he be even more promising in the future."

"Hmm."

Dongfang Gu lifted the curtain again, but this time he looked at it again and smiled, it was the old father-in-law who kissed his son-in-law when he saw it.

In another carriage, Ji Chong was dressed in a green shirt and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Zhao, you have more in-laws." ”

Zhao Zheng waved his hand and said: "My cheap father-in-law is comfortable, and I have a daughter-in-law before I get married." It is said that Brother Ji should find a daughter from the Huliang family to marry, and he must continue the bloodline of your Ji family. ”

"Alas, there are more than 10 million descendants of the Ji family, and there are thousands in Yihou Mansion, I am not in a hurry to find my mother-in-law, but I have to worry about how to deal with my uncle's question when I go back this time."

The two met and smiled bitterly, and looked south together.
