Chapter 409: Bittersweet Remembrance
"Please toast Your Majesty!" Yao Guangxiao, the newly promoted secretary of the Ministry of Rites, sang loudly as the specially appointed celebrant of the Ministry of Rites. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The following band played the qin, flute, sheng, and flute, and suddenly played a cheerful rhythm, and the entire banquet hall was immediately immersed in a happy and peaceful atmosphere.
Yao Guangxiao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was also less than thirty years old, he sat in the first row, hurriedly left the table to maintain order, and hugged his fists to several generals in the north and said: "Lord Yu, the prince's toast is a great gift for the banquet, and please abide by the order!" ”
Mr. Yu Yanyu, the Taishou of Hezhou, did not look younger than Shi Nai'an, and he said with a blank face: "Such elegant music, such mellow wine, wouldn't it be ...... not to dance?"
Yu Tongyuan, a cabinet member sitting in front of him and a secretary of the household department, has a profound Han culture, and because of the relationship between father and son, he was embarrassed to refute, but he only coughed awkwardly on it, which made Yu Yanyu stop his words, and he was still at a loss.
Hao Ren hurriedly raised his hand to dissuade Yao Guangxiao and said: "The wine banquet is meant to be cheerful, why should Yao Shangshu be like this?" Mr. Yu, the brothers of the Yu family, but you can come according to your northern habits, and you don't have to be formal! ”
The father and son of the Yu family were not cheerful, and were swept away by Yao Guangxiao, even if Hao Ren supported him, he was not interested at all, and snorted coldly at Yao Guangxiao, and went straight back to his seat, looking at the expression, as if it was more disgusting than eating a fly.
Hao Ren also felt that this young Shangshu Shangshu was a little overwhelmed, and it was a bit pretentious. If Yu Que was still serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in Middle Earth, with Yu Que's background as a courtier in the North, he would definitely not be so ignorant of the general situation, disobeying the habits of the Northland people, and disturbing the Yaxing of the banquet.
Hao Ren doesn't like a lot of ancient red tape, and he doesn't like this kind of posture of bullying above, and the ancient etiquette prefers this, to show the so-called royal majesty, it seems that whoever sits in this Ministry of Etiquette, Hao Ren's heart will feel very annoying.
It is precisely because Yu Que is a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, old-fashioned and does not please Hao Renxi, that he was sent to Fusang in disguise in the way that the cabinet went out of the town, and now Yu Que is not in the position of the Ministry of Rites, Hao Ren remembered Yu Que's good again.
Headed by the crown prince Lusheng, headed by the prince Haosheng, Hang Sheng, Hideyoshi, etc., more than a dozen little cute babies of different sizes, holding small silver milk cups, fell down and bowed, saying: "The son gives a toast to his father, and wishes his father a long life and peace of mind!" ”
Hao Ren looked at his son in a place, all of them were cute and cute, and his heart was about to be cute, Yao Guangxiao had just swept away the unhappiness he had just brought him, he picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "The children have grown up, and their father's heart is very peaceful, this glass of wine can not only respect the father, but also your mothers, your father has been fighting all the year round, and he neglected to teach you, he is your great mother, and he will raise you to adulthood!" ”
These children were very well-behaved, and after listening to the name, they said: "Sons and daughters wish the queen mother (concubines, concubines) a long life and peace!" ”
The sentence "great mother" made more than a dozen concubines feel that they were treated with great courtesy, and it is a mother's duty to raise children, how dare they be polite?
At Yang Zhiyu's suggestion, the concubines and the princes toasted to Hao Ren together, respected each other like guests, drank wine, and Hao Cai ordered the princes to return to the table.
Hideyoshi's mother and son, who were originally in Fuso, Hao Ren also asked the adults who changed guards to bring the mother and son back together. It's the father's fault that he doesn't teach, although Hideyoshi's mother came from a humble background, she can't let her son be reduced to a wild seed with no one to teach. (Xu Da, the teacher, cannot replace the role of the father)
Hao Ren was careless, only to find out that he already had such a bunch of children, and he was naturally very happy in his heart. Encouraging childbearing is the current national policy, and he himself should naturally play an exemplary role to enrich the problem of the sharp decline in the population of the Han land caused by the ravages of the Mongol Yuan and the devastation of the war.
"Please ask Your Majesty's Sixth Adopted Son to toast Your Majesty!" The celebrant sang loudly.
Several richly dressed Hao Ren's adopted sons, ranging in age from fifteen to seven years old, raised their wines and bowed to each other:
"Erchen Hao (Han) Lin'er, (Chen) Shan'er, (Mao) Yisheng, (Ming) Sheng, and (Zhu) Biao toast His Majesty, thank your father for his nurturing grace!"
Hao Ren looked at the orphans of several opponents he adopted, and he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness.
All the heroes have been destroyed by themselves, and none of them have fallen at their feet, but now their sons have been adopted by themselves and bowed down at their feet.
Hao Ren originally had a relationship with their father's peers, and now these people are at their feet, performing junior salutes, which can be said to be understandable.
Their fathers are mostly their political opponents, except for Mao Gui, who is his sworn brother and has no conflict of interest, and the other four adopted sons themselves or their fathers are in direct conflict with Hao Renyou.
Liu Bowen and other adults have long persuaded Hao Ren to kill him quickly, afraid that Hao Ren is raising tigers, Hao Ren and the group of heroes are fighting, it is a dispute between gentlemen, and their heirs are all leading the people to surrender, Hao Ren admires the group of ambitions, how can he indiscriminately harm their children?
Killing people is the lowest way to solve problems, as long as you use wisdom, there is always a better solution than killing, and you will get corresponding benefits.
Hao Ren's eyes were moist, this was from his sincerity, and he said sadly: "Your biological father, who is a hero of this troubled world, a brave man who resists the Yuan, has also had a good relationship with me, but the sky does not bless, and in the end he can't fight side by side with me to the end, God is pitiful, and finally let his heirs be saved!" Sons and daughters, please get up quickly, treat me wholeheartedly, I will not abandon you, and I will treat you as a father to raise you until adulthood, and benefit the people of the world! ”
Hao Ren admonished, and drank a cup with his adopted sons.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Sheng Wenyu and Luo Wensu are among Han Shantong's most loyal disciples. The failure of the Northern Ming Sect, nearly a million people died in battle, the general trend has gone, there has been no whereabouts of Han Lin'er for a long time, I never thought that he was still in the world, and was accepted by Hao Ren as a righteous son, and the orphans of the sect leader were preserved.
"Lin Er is my apprentice, how can I let him suffer and suffer!" Hao Ren explained.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Xu Danai is Zhu Chongba's hair, Zhu Chongba was defeated by Wang Baobao in Shandong, and his whereabouts are gone, thinking that the whole family has long been in the army, never thought that Hao Ren had already pinched Zhu Chongba's family in his hands when he captured Shezhou, and at this time Zhu Chongba's eldest son was here, Xu Da was naturally more excited than seeing Zhu Chongba.
"Although Zhu Chongba has a lot of dirt with me, he is also my brother-in-law (Ma is the righteous daughter of Guo Zixing, the father of Hao Ren's wife Guo Hui'er), how can I not take care of his family!" Hao Ren explained.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Chen Yutou, the old minister of Mao Gui, knelt down and bowed.
"Mao Gui is my sworn brother, in the past we had an oath, he was killed by a traitor, I couldn't save it, it was my fault, and his orphan should naturally be no different from my heir!" Hao Ren comforted.
"Your Majesty is so benevolent, my sworn brother, why bother with profit, as for the death of the country and the destruction of the country!" Zhang Bixian and Zhang Dingbian also knelt down and bowed.
"Chen Youliang used to kill the enemy side by side with me in the past, although he attacked my rear several times, until I was in a predicament several times, he has died, I should think more of his former benefits! The first time I met with the two lords, I had the intention to recruit the two, when the two old masters were still there, now the friendship has been ancient, I hope that the two earls, in the future, do not abandon me! Hao Ren comforted.
"My two brothers, have been in Yuzhang, Jiangzhou, Huangshi several bloody battles with Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not remember the old evil, but also treat each other with courtesy, the minister deeply regrets that he mistakenly believed in the villain, almost one after another, the minister is willing to follow His Majesty to the death, never abandon each other!" Zhang Dingbian cried and complained.
"The old master of my family has no friendship with His Majesty, Your Majesty treats his heirs so kindly, Your Majesty is Shengming!" Wan Sheng, the prime minister of the old Great Xia, knelt down and said.
"Ming Yuzhen is the fierce general of the world, I have been friends with him for a long time, the heir of the fierce general, he should be safeguarded, and his son is Xiahou, but he will not forget Ming Yuzhen's exploits in resisting the Yuan!" Hao Ren explained.
Hao Ren didn't want to use these righteous sons to do anything.
It is definitely not possible to kill these righteous sons to consolidate their position, the place that Hao Ren wants to conquer is very large, and he must unite all the forces that can be united, and killing these people will naturally arouse the suspicion of the old departments. The assassination was done by an unconfident villain, and Hao Ren was even more shameless.
Hao Ren just recognized them as righteous sons, sealed the title, and put them by his side to prevent chaos, but he never wanted to move these former ministers to the heavens and the earth.
Hao Ren left his seat and pulled up all the adults who were finally the old lord one by one, so that he could stop everyone's tears.
Hao Ren had just pulled up the adults, and had not yet returned to his seat, and in the seat of the civil official, there was a miserable cry, which was very tragic, even more miserable than the dead father.
When Hao Ren looked back, that person was none other than Wang Baobao, who was captured in the past, who joined the army, who was good at crying nose and writing articles, and now he is a civil official who is not in the imperial history platform, Cai Ziying, a Han man.
"Master Cai, there's nothing wrong with you here, why are you crying?" Liu Bowen felt that his subordinates were more polite, and these ministers who had just cried were all Han Chinese, and they were moved when they saw the orphans of the old master, what happened to him Cai Ziying? Liu Bowen reprimanded.
"Forget it, let him be!" Hao Ren knew Cai Ziying's thoughts, and knew that Cai Ziying would not say anything good, but it was too late.
Cai Ziying took a breath, cried and complained: "Your old master is dead, and now you can see his orphans, and Cai's old master is still alive, but Cai can't see it, because I feel extremely sad!" ”
"You said that you are a Han Chinese, but you never forget the master of the Hu people, and when you enter Your Majesty, you are ten times better than your master?" There is a nearby adult persuasion.
"That's right! Since Cai's appearance, Wang Baobao is the first master I serve, and he takes good care of me, and today's love is where he goes, thinking of the Savior, and being rude for a while, please atone for your majesty! Cai Ziying sobbed and clenched her fists and pleaded guilty.
Hao Ren hated this Cai Ziying in his heart. He spoke too indiscriminately, a good emotional drama to buy people's hearts, which was greatly discounted because of Cai Ziying, how many of the generals and adults present did not have the old masters? Hao Ren obviously found that Xu Da and Yu Yanyu's facial expressions were particularly unnatural.
A Han person is still so sincere to the master of the Hu people, Zhu Chongba just disappeared, but he didn't hear of death, and Yu Yanyu is a Mengyuan nobleman, almost the same clan as Uhatu Khan, isn't this equivalent to a slap in the face of the two?
But Hao Ren couldn't blame him deeply, so he could only say helplessly: "Respectable Lord Cai's loyalty, if you have the intention of returning to the north, and make it clear to me, I will definitely let you go north, and Wang Baobao is also my brother-in-law!" ”
Hao Ren deliberately said that "Wang Baobao is also my uncle" is very important!
