In Shancheng in March, you can see a green seedling in the wheat field, busy farmers farming, and occasionally cars, horses and pedestrians passing by on the road, a peaceful scene.

When a group of about seven or eight people stopped at an intersection, the two people at the head looked around and finally smiled at each other.

"For more than a year, the atmosphere in Shancheng has been cleared, and when you turn around, you can only hear that your Shancheng order is quite praised by the people, Cui Shiyi, you have the skill to govern the people!"

"That's natural, I didn't see that I didn't even want to be an official of the imperial history, so I'd rather come to this northwest?" Cui Jianxuan smiled, looking at this busy farming scene with a bright face, and his eyes revealed a rare brilliance, "When I returned to Luoyang with Thirteen Niang before, I quietly went to Dengfeng and went to Songshan Thatched Cottage to meet Master Lu. You didn't see the scene there, but everyone rushed to watch, and I was surrounded by people. Then when I met Master Lu, when Master Lu asked me about my aspirations, I answered him like this. I know that I don't have the ability to help the country, as long as I can make the people of a place happy, I will be satisfied! ”

Speaking of Lu Hong, Du Shiyi unconsciously asked: "Master Lu is getting older now, is he still in good health?" ”

"Look at it, but I am still in good spirits, and I am very healthy, but although my eyes have been healed back then, it is still not as good as day by day." Cui Jianxuan didn't like to read when he was young, but he couldn't help but learn a lot of things with Lu Hong, and he respected this teacher very much. Thinking of the disciples who had learned from their disciples now, now they were all on different sides, he suddenly felt heavy in his heart, "In addition to you and me, the third senior brother is about to take up the post of Assassin of Yanzhou, the senior brother is still opening his Yanmen Academy in Daizhou, Yan Qingchen has also entered the official position, and almost all the old people are no longer in Songshan." Although we greet every year, we cannot serve left and right after all. ”

Du Shiyi was also sentimental, but he quickly cheered up and smiled: "Okay, okay, if Master Lu is here, he will definitely blame you for being a child!" If Master Lu didn't want to be able to teach the disciples who had learned and applied what they had learned and loved the people like a son, why would he rather refuse to join the ranks and only teach and educate people in the thatched hall? ”

The topic of Songshan stopped. In any case, Lu Hong's disciples are talented, and this hermit, known as the true hermit of Songshan, has long been the first choice for celebrities from all walks of life to visit after arriving in Heluo. His name is also heavy, his talent is also high, and the old man who is like a clear spring has already left a strong mark in the history of the youth by virtue of the dignity of his teacher.

The two of them ordered the attendants to disperse far away for the time being, and then they talked about the fact that the people and horses of Yunzhou were covered with rain and clouds in the Turkic king's tent. Although Cui Jianxuan had left Huairen Ling more than a year ago, he had always been one of the cores of the assembly when he was in Yunzhou, and he was his brother-in-law, so Du Shiyi did not hide it from him.

Sure enough, Cui Jianxuan was immediately overjoyed after hearing this, and praised the knot: "What a Yue Wuniang, she is really a heroine, in this way, the Turks are divided, the pressure in the north is greatly reduced, the Tubo bow down again, and the Khitans are almost torn apart by Zhang Shouqi, and this peaceful and prosperous era can continue for decades!" ”

People who are not unpredictable prophets will not have such a cognition when they see the great scene of the four realms today. Even Du Shiyi, who is now in Longyou, will inevitably have such an illusion. However, he knew better that the submission of Tubo was only temporary, and the four towns of Anxi and Helong, the fat meat, and the great enemy in the southwest were always coveted; And the fragmentation of the Turks also gave the opportunity for the major tribes that had submitted to the Turks in the past to rise; As for the Khitan and Xi people, they are not completely convinced by a hearty victory, and the land of Heishui and Baishan is not a place familiar to the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses after all, and it is impossible to fight in depth.

Once the Son of Heaven is arrogant because of his military achievements, and he fights on all sides, and Zaifu in the court is secretly selfish, whether the great war that will sweep the world in 20 years can be avoided, then only God knows the way!

"Cui Shiyi, within a few days, Nan Jiyun will be transferred to Shanzhou and appointed as the deputy general of the Lintao Army."

"Huh? Masaaki is coming? This is a good feeling! Cui Jianxuan's feelings for the people of Yunzhou are naturally extraordinary, and he suddenly squinted his eyes and laughed at this moment, "Zhengming has respected Wang Zhongsi the most since then, if he can be a deputy under Wang Zhonghe, he is afraid that he will jump up with joy." You have gained a firm foothold in Shanzhou in the past two years, and finally began to transfer your own people one by one. Say, after him, who is the next person? ”

"There's no next one."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

From the time when Yunzhou was restored, Du Shiyi served as the governor of Yunzhou, Shi Judu, until now, Yunzhou's team has always been based on his cronies, and others can't intervene at all, it has been almost eight years, but it has also reached the limit, so he took advantage of the Turkic civil strife to try it at the expense of the fire, and Princess Gu'an invited herself back to Beijing to calm Junxin. He transferred a Cui Jianxuan as the Shancheng Order, and a Nan Jiyun as the deputy general of the Lintao Army, which is not out of line, if he transfers his cronies one by one, it will be too obvious. Fortunately, now that he has someone in the court, he can also arrange a good place for those who have spent the best years of their lives in Yunzhou.

Moreover, compared to the thriving Yunzhou, his subtle and silent influence on the local scholars in Daizhou is difficult for others to detect, which is where his real foundation lies in Hedong! As for Yunzhou, the successor officials will not be able to kill chickens and eggs, what about certain businessmen, and his foundation in the Yunzhou army is many non-commissioned soldiers and low-level officers, which is not easy to shake!

and Cui Jianxuan inspected the Tuntian in Shancheng today, and after returning to the city, Du Shiyi naturally had to have a home-cooked meal with Cui Jianxuan and Du Sanniang. The elite hall in the army has been opened, and Cui Jianxuan's eldest sons, Cui Lang and Cui Peng, are now studying civil and military affairs in it like Du Guangyuan. The road between Shancheng and Huangshui is not far away, it can be reached in one day, Cui Jianxuan can not leave lightly, the two sons live in the Governor's Mansion, and come back three days a month, Du Sanniang misses the children and often comes to Huangshui, Wang Rong also comes to Shancheng from time to time to talk to her, and the two sisters-in-law walk around diligently, and the relationship is naturally better.

After this lunch, Du Sanniang suddenly pinched her fingers and couldn't help frowning: "Brother, you came out to inspect at this time, but the sister-in-law in the governor's mansion is about to give birth, so don't you worry about her?" ”

"When I came out, whether it was the doctor or the mother-in-law, all of them had just been shown to the young lady, and the Tao should be about five or six days away." said so lightly, but in essence, because this inspection is a practice in the spring season, Du Shiyi can't use his wife's waiting for labor as an excuse to delay, not to mention that Chiling has to send people to see the situation of the boundary monument, lest someone in Tubo secretly play tricks, and Shibao City is the top priority. So in action, he quickly showed it. After dinner, he stayed in the Shancheng County Party for less than half an hour, and then he planned to return.

Cui Jianxuan and Du Sanniang sent him to the door, and when they were saying goodbye, they saw a rider coming over at a gallop, and stopped dangerously in front of the county party, and shouted without even dismounting: "Dashuai, Mrs. Fuzhong is already giving birth!" ”

Afraid of something, as soon as these words came out, Du Shiyi's face immediately changed. Not only her, but even Du Sanniang gasped. And Cui Jianxuan exclaimed unconsciously: "Such a coincidence, at this time? ”

At this juncture, Du Shiyi didn't care about anything else, so without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of his mount, and after jumping on the horse, he galloped out of the horse first. Seeing this, the other entourages didn't have time to say more, so they hurriedly followed one by one. Seeing that the group of people and the messengers who had passed the message were all gone, Cui Jianxuan looked sideways at his wife and asked, "Thirteen Niang, since my sister-in-law is about to give birth again, why don't I arrange a carriage and a horse, and you will also go to Huangshui City to have a look?" ”

"Well, I'll rush over in a moment." Du Sanniang's consternation and surprise disappeared at this moment, replaced by a smile, "My sister-in-law gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she will definitely be auspicious this time." But after Brother hurried back, maybe he would be able to pick up the child immediately! ”

Along the way, Du Shiyi was in a hurry, and for the first time, she didn't expect to cherish horsepower. Fortunately, this Qinghai horse's mount had excellent endurance, and it arrived at Huangshui City before the gate closed after dark. When he arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, he jumped off his horse and hurried into the door without saying a word, running all the way. He was famous for caring for his wife and children, and even when the officials on the road saw this scene, they could only smile at it. When he was so anxious that he only hated that the place of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion was too big, and his heart was anxious and uneasy, he suddenly heard a loud baby cry in his ears.

The eldest son, Du Guangyuan, was born in Yunzhou, and he was by his side at that time; And his daughter Du Xianhui was also born in Yunzhou, but at that time, he was thousands of miles away in Luoyang because of his official worship of the scholars. He only had one impression of the newborn's cry, but even Du Guangyuan, who cried particularly loudly in his impression, seemed to be slightly inferior to the little guy now.

After a moment's hesitation, he quickened his pace again. After a while, he came to the door of the delivery room, and at a glance, he saw Du Guangyuan holding his sister Du Xianhui's hand and waiting there uneasily. In addition to the two of them, Duan Xiushi, Cui Lang and Cui Peng's brothers, as well as the Wang family's Du brothers, were all there, and the children looked at each other when they heard the loud baby cry, but no one made a sound, let alone noticed Du Shiyi's return.

At this moment, the door of the delivery room finally opened, and a stable woman holding swaddling clothes came out happily and said loudly: "Congratulations to Xiao Langjun and the little lady, Mrs. Lin'er is happy, the mother and son are safe, and a younger brother has been added to the two!" ”

"Great!" Du Guangyuan jumped three feet high, and after cheering, he actually stepped forward to take his younger brother and take a closer look. But before he could succeed, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out next to him and grabbed ahead of him. He turned his head sideways in annoyance, and then he was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to cry, "Grandpa, when did you come back!" ”

Du Guangyuan's voice was very loud, and Wang Rong, who was sweating profusely and almost collapsed in the delivery room, also heard it. Thinking that Du Shiyi must have rushed back from Shancheng non-stop, she couldn't help but show a smile on her face, and then she heard Du Shiyi's whisper.

"Good, good! The cry is so loud, in the future, it will definitely be the young phoenix clear than the old phoenix, which is enough for me Du's young lin. Little guy, your name is Du Youlin! ”
