Chapter 48 The Imperial Decree

Time passed quickly, and after half a month passed, the new woman was gradually settled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The villagers on the edge of the village gradually accepted this group of new villagers, and the Jiang group of women began to integrate into this unfamiliar environment. The town of abama got its name because of the abaca, and women such as Jiang made a living by weaving linen cloth in a short period of time.

Feng Junyan was looking for a suitable way to collect food, and the Feng family patriarch, who had never returned, finally came back on the day of the new year. When he went out, the head of the Feng family was still white, but when he came back, he became an officer riding a tall horse, which was a happy event for the entire Feng family village.

Feng Siji didn't come back alone, Feng Siji and Liu Nianqi, who were riding tall horses, rushed back from Longxing all the way to Hepu County with more than 100 soldiers. After returning to Hepu, all the way to the public, fresh clothes and angry horses returned to Abaca Town. How many years have passed, and there has only been a senior official in Abaca Town who has become a military candidate, and this major event in the town immediately attracted the attention of the entire town. The Feng family had a military candidate, and the Liu family had a tun chief, and all of a sudden, the people in the entire abaca town had more brilliance on their faces in the surrounding towns, and the Feng and Liu families were in the market for a while, and they kept coming and going.

The custom of the Chinese people, every time there is a happy event, they have to celebrate, these days, the whole Fengjiazhuang is immersed in the sea of celebration. The patriarch returned with honor and became a military candidate, which means that Fengjiazhuang has a more reasonable reliance and a greater guarantee for their lives. These visible benefits diluted the haze of the entire village that returned with Feng Junyan half a month ago.

The entire Zhuangzi people are celebrating a happy life in the future, but the protagonist of this matter, the patriarch of the Feng family, Feng Siji is not as happy as his people at this time. After receiving one visitor after another and recruiting one person with lofty ideals after another, the number of people who came to visit finally decreased. Feng Siji, who was finally freed, did not get greater relief because of this, but became more silent.

In the inner courtyard of the Feng family, Feng Siji was kneeling in front of the desk, and the Li family on the main seat looked at his son in front of him like a stranger.

"Ji'er, you tell me the truth, what do you want to do when you come back with great fanfare this time? Over the past few days, you have been receiving visitors, and you have been visiting the elders of the family in various homes, what do you want to do? ”

Li sat in the hall and looked at his son, who was speechless in front of him, and had a sense of foreboding in his heart. Knowing his son Mo Ruomu, the Li family understands his son, Feng Siji is not a showy person, but this time he and Liu Nianqi returned to this small abacama town with a large number of sergeants with great fanfare, and kept recruiting young people from nearby towns, if there are no ghosts here, they don't believe it if they kill the Li family.

"Mother, the child has become an official soldier this time, how to say that he is also a soldier, and going home with a little sergeant is just a general's love, how can there be any fanfare. As for the visit, it's just a matter of human sophistication, and the child doesn't know what the mother says. Feng Siji looked at the Li family in front of him and pretended to be relaxed, it was obvious that he was not prepared to tell the truth. But Li is not so easy to deceive, and when he sees his son's dodgy appearance, he knows that things are not as simple as he said.

"If you become a military candidate, you will become a big man? Our Feng family also had a lot of generals back then, how can I not see you so flamboyant! Although my old woman is about to enter the ground, but her eyes are not blind, you have been blatantly soliciting people all these days, and you want to deceive me. Li saw that her son had different hearts, and she couldn't stand it immediately, who was already hot-tempered.

Feng Siji saw that Li's face was unhappy, and he was about to get angry, so he could only carefully straighten up to appease.

"The mother is angry, the child does not mean to deceive the mother, but the matter is serious, and the child does not know how to talk about it."

"Don't know where to start? My son is going to die now, and I am allowed to know why he died. Seeing that Feng Siji still wanted to hide from himself, Li was even more angry in his heart.

"Mother is angry, don't be angry, the child said yes. At this time, it is not what the mother thinks, if she knows that it is death, how can the child kill herself. Feng Siji poured a glass of water from the case, carefully handed it to Li, and whispered. It's a pity that although Li took the cup, his face still didn't have any good color for him. Seeing this situation, Feng Siji, who knew that he couldn't deceive the Li family, could only tell the truth.

"The imperial court decreed that the states sent troops north to King Qin, and the child has already received the military order."

"The imperial court decrees that General Shi is the master, how can this kind of great achievement of King Qin fall into the hands of a new soldier of yours, and although there are twists and turns in the country now, how do you need King Qin, you don't want me." Li Shi listened to Feng Siji's words, and his face calmed down, but the hand holding the cup was unnaturally tight, and he didn't even react when the water in the cup spilled out.

"This time Linyi attacked, the child made a great contribution on the battlefield, because of the merit was favored by the general of the barbarian, was promised a position in the army, the child was valued by the general, so this time the general supported and sent me there." Feng Siji looked at the Li family and said a reason to make the Li family crazy.

"Tell the truth!" After listening to Feng Siji's words, Li not only didn't believe it, but yelled at Feng Siji in front of him.

"This time, the imperial court summoned the soldiers from various states to go north to defend the enemy, and the child wants to go!" Feng Siji was in a hurry and directly said the reason.

"Confused, stupid, has this Northern Expedition ever ended well for more than a hundred years? Why are you wading into this troubled water! Why don't you want to think about how little you have done over the years? When there was a rebellion, we didn't contribute to it, when we didn't shed blood and died, how could we not be valued by others and promised a military position! Partial students can be valued by generals this time, and they are still military officials! Where is this support, this is simply to let you die! Why are you so confused, so capable of receiving a military position, why don't you want to think that there are a large group of clansmen behind you who want to live on you! Or do you endure it for more than ten years, and today I finally can't help but envy those high-headed officials" Li Shi saw that his son was so sharp and dizzy, and he scolded immediately.

"Mother, isn't it easier for the children to live better in the military? There is no way out for filial piety, joining the army is the last way, and now the child becoming a military candidate is also beneficial to our entire family. ”

Feng Siji saw that the Li family was angry, so he could only lower his head and let the Li family beat and scold, but he also made a small defense that he should be removed from the military not for himself, but for the sake of the clansmen to live a better life. Over the years, Feng Siji has also seen clearly, whether he admits it or not, without an official position, he is nothing, since he can have the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step this time, if he doesn't seize the opportunity, he won't have it next time. As for Lee's misunderstanding, let her misunderstand.

"How dare you talk back! What did you say before your father's spirit? Well, back then, your father thought like you, but in the end? Fought all his life, but ended up with a death in another country, to death is just a hundred long, in addition to taking the clansmen to death again and again, the clansmen have been better because of this! Tell me for yourself, how did you promise me? I told you, don't get involved in any struggle, let alone be a big official, what are you doing now? The more Li said, the more angry he became, he first threw the cup in his hand, and then picked up the pressed thing and smashed it on Feng Siji's body, Feng Siji, who was kneeling below, was full of Li Shi's head, but when he saw Li Shi angry, he didn't dare to dodge, and was directly thrown over the clay pot and smashed his nose and face swollen.

"Mother, it's not that the child has forgotten, but this time it's different. The child is already in the game, and it has to be like this. Feng Siji, who was smashed by Li's headbag, saw that Li was really angry, and Feng Siji, who was afraid that she would be angry, hurriedly stepped forward to straighten Li's anger. Once again, he comforted Li and beckoned Li to sit down, and Feng Siji also knelt in front of Li honestly.

"In this way, I want to see what reason you can tell as an unfilial son, and see if you still have me, an old country woman, in your eyes!" Li finally calmed down under Feng Siji's persuasion, but the anger in her heart couldn't be extinguished, but in the end, it was her own son, and she wanted to hear what was going on when she calmed down.

"Mother is angry, in fact, the child is also forced this time. So that my mother learned that this time Linyi broke out, Rinan and Jiude could not prevent being occupied by the natives, and the Jiaozhou army was fighting elsewhere at that time. I, Feng and Liu, were two families alone, and when they set out on the expedition, there were dozens of people, but in the end, only four people were left. When Feng Siji said this, he thought of those clansmen who died in Jiuzhen, and he was also sad in his heart, and his face was depressed.

"After the disastrous victory, the child thought that he would hold on and wait for reinforcements, but who knew that the nobles who came from the north would immediately pursue him, so we had no choice but to march. Who knew that on the way to the army, the noble man insisted on going his own way, which caused us to be ambushed and suffered heavy losses. On the way, the child and Jun'er were separated, thinking that Jun'er was more auspicious this time, but who knew that Jun'er brought back a woman from outside the city on the third day. Later, the child learned that this woman was really a noble person from the north, although the child had strictly ordered that the gentleman was not allowed to spread the word, but in the end the noble man still refused to let me go. The boy was first appointed to the position of a commander, and then he was sent to the battlefield as a sharp. The child wanted to accept it, but for the sake of Jun'er, the child couldn't choose. The noble man did this, although he did not directly take our lives, but he wanted to kill people with a knife. Although the child guessed the reason, he could only desperately save his life. Who knew that after the child took office, he found that his subordinates were all people from the north back then. ”

Feng Siji looked at the Li family, and his heart was also bitter. This matter is said to be a disaster, but if you don't accept it, can you let your son accept it? They are just for revenge, they have lived for more than forty years, but their son is still young. Most importantly, he didn't expect to meet those outcasts.

"Wronged, wronged, back then, your father just didn't want to do black hands to these people, so in the end he could only end up with hatred, and now it's your turn again. Could it be that this is the fate of our Feng family? Thinking of her husband who never regretted being seriously injured in bed back then, and looking at her son who is now exactly the same as his father, Li really doesn't know how to evaluate this kind of thing. It was this group of people who took the life of their husbands back then, do they still want the lives of their sons now?

"Since you have offended the nobles, how did you get rid of them in the end?" After the resentment, the Li family quickly came back to his senses, and it stands to reason that since his son and grandson have offended people, it is better not to die, how can he not only be okay like this, but also promoted. This is completely illogical.

The child didn't know why he was unharmed, but the child thought that it might have something to do with the barbarian general. Our attack was blocked that day and we had to retreat. Someone has been caught trying to kill us. If it weren't for the protection of the barbarian general, our people would have fallen to the ground. Especially Jun'er, if it weren't for the general's help, I'm afraid our Feng family would be doomed. Not to mention that so many women can be brought back now. ”

Speaking of his own son, Feng Siji is also helpless, his son is smart but smart, but he is too naΓ―ve. I don't want to think about how he is qualified to take away so many women and children just by virtue of his small child if he is not protected. I really think I'm doing a good deed, but I'm looking for death at all, okay?

"Protector General? Du Jianshi's family has been guarding Jiaozhou for decades, and it is possible if the Du family saves you. After listening to Feng Siji's words, Li couldn't help but nodded. Jiaozhou is the territory of the Du family in the end, and they still have some scruples about watching outsiders kill the people under their rule. In the final analysis, their roots are in Jiaozhou, and they still have to face to some extent. Thinking of his own smart grandson, the Li family's impression of the Du family was a little better.

"Then what is it about you coming back with great fanfare this time to solicit people everywhere? Don't tell me you're not trying to bring more people to death this way! There are no more young people in the clan who go to war again. Jun'er told me, this time you broke the capital of Linyi, killed so many rebels, and a few of them had several years of peace, do you still think that there are not enough dead people in our village? ”

The Jin people are the most heroes, and the Jin people are the most important military merits, as long as the generals above can really give them a chance, when joining the army is the only way for people at the bottom to rise, there is no need to worry that no one is willing to exchange their lives for a future. However, Li knows that this kind of thing is far from being so simple, and there will always be only a few opportunities to become a master. If there is really a 1 in 10,000 chance, it's nothing to fight with your life, human life is not worth much in this era, but this time it's completely sent to death, in this case, why come back and harm your own people.

"Mother, we really want to recruit people when we come back this time, the general of the barbarian has promised me a position in the army, but this time Jiaozhou Qingzhuang has suffered heavy losses, plus the migration population of Nanjiude in the past, the general hopes that we can come back to Hepu and bring more people back, so he specially sent dozens of people to follow me and Nianqi back. To go north to reinforce the army, only the township party that knows the roots and knows the bottom is the most reliable. ”

Feng Siji knew that he couldn't hide the experienced Li family at all, so he could only tell the truth.

"You mean that you went north and that you recommended yourself?" Looking at his son's insincere expression, Li finally knew the reason, no wonder his son, who has always been unsociable, is so enthusiastic about the people he visits these days.

"The general originally intended to let us go, as Ah Mu said just now, the child's military position was obtained because of this incident. I was dissatisfied with my mother, but this matter was indeed a child's volunteer, so the general promoted me to the military position. This time I will go north will also be dominated by me, this time I came back to recruit more fellow villagers, the opportunity is rare, the child is now not confused, and if you don't go back, maybe you won't be able to go back in this life. Feng Siji did not perfunctory this time, but raised his head and looked at Li solemnly.

"Okay, good, it's really worthy of being father and son, and even the temper is exactly the same. Is it that if I don't ask you today, you will never say it! Li Shi heard Feng Siji's words, and his face immediately turned pale.

"The child doesn't dare, the head of the mother's family, how dare the child make his own decisions about such a big event." Feng Siji didn't dare to look at Li's eyes, but the whole person still stubbornly raised his head.

"The head of the family, the head of the family. Back then, your father did not hesitate to leave his wife and children to join the army in order to go north, and today you have to learn from him. Okay, good, sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. Now that the wings are stiff, I can't control you, I've already made a decision, and now come and tell me that you don't dare to make decisions on your own, that's how you treat me, the head of the family. Feng Siji looked at the angry Li and said nothing.

"Good, good. Don't speak. Then let me ask you, what should you do if you leave this home? What about so many people? Can you just watch this family fall like this? Seeing that Feng Siji didn't speak, Li's tone softened.

"Jun'er and the hourglass are still so young, especially Jun'er, how can he be the head of a clan at a young age, can you bear to watch him being bullied by those old immortals in the clan?"

Feng Junyan heard Li's words, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but in the end he made up his mind.

Although Jun'er is young, after this experience, the child believes that he is able to take on the heavy responsibility. As for the clan, please ask your mother to bother more. The child has received the military order for this matter, and there is no possibility of changing it, please forgive the child for being unfilial. ”

"Okay, you actually took out a military order to press me. Knowing that the military order is like a mountain, I can't help you. Get out, get out of here. Go tell your wife and children yourself, don't think that I will persuade you on your behalf. Li, who was speechless with anger, directly pushed the case, stood up, turned his back, and never looked at Feng Siji behind him again.

Feng Siji, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Li Shi turn his head and knew that there was no way to explain her. This matter was decided by him privately, and he is indeed sorry for his family. Feeling guilty, he could only hastily clean up the house, and after saluting, he went out with a wry smile.

At the moment when Feng Siji closed the door, Li, who was originally facing away from the door, turned his head, looked at the closed door, listened to the footsteps that were getting farther and farther away, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

"Old man, your son has also embarked on your original path, is this fate? If you really have a spirit, bless him to come back safely. ”

On the other side of Abaca Town, Liu Nianqi knelt in front of his mother, not saying a word, his eyes were stubborn.

The old lady of the Liu family looked at her son who was kneeling outside the courtyard, let out the same exclamation and prayer as the Li family, and closed the half-covered door with a sigh.
