Chapter 494: Patrol the River General
A person's attitude towards food is most likely the person's attitude towards life.
After a busy night, Tang Yi specially called all the big guys over. There was nothing to eat, just buns and steamed buns sent to the rebels yesterday, and there were quite a few left, millet gruel, plus some pickled radish.
is an official in Jiangnan, who can eat a belly of delicacies from the mountains and seas? But it was given by Lord Qincha, and no one could refuse, as if he was taking medicine, he took two bites with his eyes closed, drank some porridge, and ran away one by one under the guise of being busy with official business.
In the end, Xu Bangyang was left, Tang Yi was more and more incomprehensible, this one ate slowly and carefully, and what he held in his hand was not cold and hard steamed buns, but delicious delicacies, and he gnawed five big steamed buns in a row, drank two large bowls of porridge, not to mention rice grains, and even salted radishes were eaten cleanly.
No one is static, but it is really strange to judge two people before and after. Tang Yi's curiosity was stronger than ever, he beckoned to Xu Bangyang, and Xu Dagongzi stood up obediently, ran in front of him, and bowed to the ground honestly.
"Humble greetings to Lord Chincha."
"Hehe, Xu Gongzi, speaking of which, we are also old friends, so you don't have to be so polite."
Xu Bangyang's face changed rarely, as if he remembered the past, and then shook his head vigorously, "My lord, there are many offences in the past, please read on the sake of less and no more, raise your noble hand, and be grateful." ”
There is really no temper at all, Tang Yi said: "You're welcome, I'm not a troublemaker, Xu Gongzi, I want to hear your opinion on the current matter?" ”
Xu Bangyang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The humble position is just a thousand presidents. Where you know what military affairs are and how to deal with them, you will listen to the adults and the court, and if you have any orders, you will do your best. ”
"Hahaha. Xu Gongzi, you are different from before, but this military event, the four words are wonderful! Tang Yi took his hands and said proudly: "What did Ling Zun do in this rebellion, you know better than me, with his performance, can he still be worthy of the Nanjing garrison?" There is no position. Can he still be worthy of the leader of the noble capital of Liudu? At that time, the Xu family plummeted in the southeast, and the so-called skin did not have hair. As a child of the Xu family, aren't you afraid? ”
Xu Bangyang tried to keep his composure, but his Adam's apple kept moving up and down, and his fists were clenched. Xu Pengju's cowardice and stupidity made him very disappointed, and he was also worried about what would happen to the Wei Mansion next. Ants in one's pants. But after all these years, Xu Bangyang has cultivated a strong heart. Even if it is difficult, you can face it calmly.
"Lord Tang, Bangyang is just a small person, he doesn't dare to talk about the government and politics, and he doesn't dare to make irresponsible remarks about his father, so please forgive me. If it's okay. He retired first. ”
Xu Bangyang turned around to leave, and suddenly Tang Yi said lightly: "Don't you want to fight for the title of Duke of Wei?" ”
The words were like thunder, Xu Bangyang's body shook, and his eyes shrunk into essence.
Oh, yes. The hereditary reckless grandfather of the country!
What a temptation!
Since he was a child, he was Xu Pengju's favorite son, and once he also thought about how glorious it was to seize the position of the prince of the country, and to be above ten thousand people under one person! In addition to Emperor Zhu, it is their Xu family.
If you grab the title, your children and grandchildren will be prosperous and rich in the future, and you will enjoy endless ...... Xu Bangyang was caught in the battle between heaven and man, but soon, he shook his head decisively.
"Lord Tang, thank you for your kindness, I am neither the eldest son nor the son-in-law, and I am not qualified to inherit the title."
Tang Yi didn't let him go, and continued to ask: "Do you not want to, or don't you dare?" ”
"I don't want to!" Xu Bangyang said without hesitation.
"Give me a reason." Tang Yi smiled, but his tone was extremely firm. Xu Bangyang's changes made Tang Yi feel confused, even a hint of threat, if there was no reasonable explanation, Tang Yi would definitely not let go of the opportunity to fall into the hole for the Xu family, he wanted to kill any threat in the cradle.
Xu Shi felt Tang Yi's murderous intent, Xu Bangyang's face was solemn, and the green tendons in his temples collapsed.
After a while, he smiled helplessly and said: "Everyone thinks that you are a prince of the country, with monstrous power, wealth and glory, and great dignity." But what in the end? To put it mildly, my father's official hat is pinched in your hand, how you want to deal with it, how to dispose of it, is there any other way for my father to give gifts and intercede? What is the meaning of such a prince? ”
Since the change of Tumubao, the status of the noble generals has plummeted, and there is no sign of recovery, especially in the Jiajing Dynasty, Xia Yan and Yan Song, the two first assistants, took advantage of the God-given opportunity of Jiajing to take refuge in Xiyuan, and took over the power.
Now, not to mention the military generals and nobles, even the vassal royal clan must be controlled by civil officials. Yu Lu has to look at the face of the household department, and the inheritance of the title depends on the face of the cabinet of the military department, so that the noble military ministers have a noble reputation and no power at all.
Take Xu Pengju as an example, he initially favored Xu Bangyang, but he clashed with Tang Yi several times, and even involved the White Lotus Sect, which made Xu Pengju disappointed in Xu Bangyang, and instead hoped that Xu Bangning would take his place. However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not buy it, and reprimanded them sternly, opposing the abolition of Chang Liyu and resolutely supporting the eldest son Xu Bangrui.
Xu Pengju is also a ghost, he spared no expense to dredge, gave the concubine Zheng the position of the Duchess of Wei, and sent his son Xu Bangning to Yan Shifan's side, in the name of going to the military department to learn the art of war, in fact, he followed Yan Shifan to fool around, pull relationships, and wanted to use the power of the Yan family's father and son to realize the wishful thinking of abolishing the elder and younger.
The battle for the throne in the family, sibling rivalry, father and son turned against each other, making it hot...... Xu Bangyang first trained with Lu Bo in the army, and later went to Liu Jingshao's subordinates to avoid disputes at home.
Staying out of the matter, looking back, he suddenly felt that the glorious and majestic Guogong Mansion was just like that, coupled with this incident, he suddenly became very sad, and he was even afraid of the rebels, if Xu Da knew, he would only be angry!
Xu Bangyang gradually comprehended a profound truth.
It's not earned by your own hands, and it's not yours after all.
Just like Tang Yi, he single-handedly founded the traffic line, no matter where he sits, there are countless people who obey his orders, go to the soup for him, do their best, and support him to a higher position.
Xu Bangyang didn't dare to compare with Tang Yi, but in the past few years, he has been in the barracks, and he has also attracted a lot of good brothers, and these people are really helping him.
Xu Pengju took his family out to battle, and was so frightened by the chaos that people turned on their backs and were embarrassed. As for Xu Bangyang, there are only a few dozen people around him, but the big guy thinks in one place and works hard in one place. When he encountered the rebels, he gave an order, and he didn't even frown, and rushed up.
The originally tall father was like a paper tiger, vulnerable.
In Xu Bangyang's heart, a mountain collapsed.
"Lord Tang, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth and beheaded. My father is the seventh grandson of King Zhongshan, and we are already the eighth generation. If we are still immersed in the glory of our ancestors, expecting the title of a Duke of Wei to bring us dignity and glory, it is a dream! Only by being self-reliant and self-reliant, can you truly be respected. Bangyang still remembers the words of the last adult, we are indeed not worthy of representing the generals, since the Japanese rebellion, the world soldiers in the southeast are rotten, and they will collapse at the first touch. The generals are noble, everyone has a bucket, and everyone is a coward. Now in the southeast, everyone knows the Qi family's army, the Yu family's army, and the Xiangyong, where are we placed? Men will dishonor themselves, and others will reproach them. Xungui has fallen to the point where he is today, all because he has not grown. The ancestors were born and died, expeditioned to the desert, fought in Annam, died nine times, and were full of injuries and illnesses before they were exchanged for hereditary titles. What about future generations? Lustful dogs and horses, indulging in pleasure, not enterprising, and wanting to be respected by others, it's just wishful thinking! ”
Xu Bangyang talked eloquently, Tang Yi nodded frequently when he listened, and people who strive for self-improvement can always be respected. Xu Bangyang was not possessed by the soul of later generations, but really learned from the pain and matured.
The glory of the family is unreliable, and the only thing that can be relied on is yourself!
Tang Yi was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly: "Xu Bangyang, I really didn't expect that you would have such a big change. I was thinking...... Forget it, let's not fight and don't know each other, in a few days, there will be a good position for you, let's do it well. ”
Xu Bangyang will be suspicious, only thinking that Tang Yi is making fun of him. On the third day after the Zhenwu Battalion mutiny, Li Sui, the right attendant of the military headquarters, led more than 20,000 men and horses to hurry up and arrive in Nanjing, where the rebels were all under control.
Tranquility was restored in the city, but the Duke of Wei became miserable, Xu Pengju sighed, he had heard the wind, Zhang Wei, who was originally a good soldier with him, was finished, and it was lucky to be able to escape the prison.
Ma Kun, the head of the household department, wrote to the imperial court again, demanding that the rebellious army be severely punished and held accountable, and Xu Pengju felt unprecedented pressure. For the sake of his status, he had to beg everywhere to raise his noble hand, and even to lower his voice and beg the eunuch to slow down!
A hereditary prince and a eunuch who is physically incomplete.
The tall Xu Peng was held in front of He Xuan, arching his shoulders and shrinking his back, like a slave.
Thinking of these pictures, Xu Bangyang suddenly felt as if his heart was about to be torn apart, and it hurt! It really hurts!
He didn't want to stay any longer, so he moved out of the house, and in a manor outside the city, he led dozens of his men to train frantically every day, practicing until they were sweaty and exhausted, and they could fall asleep when they collapsed on the training ground.
What humiliation, what resentment, all put aside, and live like livestock. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the Duke of Wei sent someone, saying that there was a decree and asked him to accept it.
Xu Bangyang didn't know why, hurriedly took a bath, and hurriedly returned to the Guogong Mansion, above the lobby, in the middle was sitting the weaving eunuch Shi Gonggong, and when he saw Xu Bangyang, he bowed slightly.
"Hehe, I've heard Lord Tang say a long time ago, you have the legacy of your ancestors, and when you see it today, it's really extraordinary, Xu Bangyang listens to it."
Xu Bangyang knelt on the ground, and Gonggong Shi said in frustration: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Xu Bangyang is rich and not arrogant, and he is loyal to state affairs...... Special seal the post of general of the patrol river, admiration! (To be continued.) )
PS: I had a terrible headache yesterday, sorry...... Today's state is not very good, it seems that there is still a Feng Tui, the small one should be written as much as possible, Xiao Tang is also going to have a new position, please support the big guy!
