The envoy didn't know who the so-called distinguished guest was, so Deng Ji could only say goodbye to Zhao Yun and rush to the city.
Deng She, Deng Zhang, and Deng Wei were all held in the arms of the black iron guard, and when they arrived outside the gate of Luoyang Pingcheng, they saw hundreds of people gathered here, both women and children, shouting and drinking, and mixed with many mules and horses, so that the outside of the main gate of Luoyang became chaotic.
Seeing that they all had white cards on their waists, they were not from Henan, nor were they businessmen who were cautious in their words and deeds, Deng Ji was very surprised, and couldn't help but hold the reins of his horse, and asked the guards at the door: "Who are these people?" ”
The soldiers guarding the door under Wu Ning all recognized Deng Ji, the lord, and listened to his question, and the chief with a strong western cool accent hurriedly knelt down and said: "These people all claim to be the lord's relatives, and the patriarch has gone to the mansion, leaving them to gather outside the city to wait for the lord to summon them!" ”
Seeing that the black iron guards were in good armor and guarded the door with a respectful attitude, and there were also people with good eyesight in the chaotic crowd who could see that Deng Ji's identity was extraordinary, but they couldn't hear it clearly from a distance, and they didn't know that this was the main person they were looking for, so no one came up to talk.
After examining the crowd suspiciously, Deng Ji entered the city.
Outside Deng's mansion, the second brother Deng Zhong was already guarding outside, and when he saw Deng Ji returning, he ran close in excitement and shouted, "Why is Xiaosi late?" The patriarch has been waiting here for a long time! ”
"Patriarch? From Shinno? ”
Deng She's three brothers and sisters all saluted to the second uncle, Deng Zhong picked up Deng Wei on the left, led Deng Shi on the right, and replied with a smile: "Yes!" If the father knows what is going on, he should be overjoyed! ”
From the moment he knew that he had come to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, the fear of the future made Deng Ji feel confused every time, and later joined the Nanyang Yellow Turban with his father and brother, and completely broke off with the Deng family. There is no special affection for the family. There is no one in my memory.
Although the family is powerful in Nanyang. Deng Ji's father, Deng Bo, has been reduced to a semi-tenant farmer, the identities of the two are very different, Deng Bo has never been able to say a word to the patriarch in his life, such a relationship, what did they come to Luoyang to find?
Deng Zhong dragged the two brothers and sisters to the mansion, and Deng Ji pulled Deng Zhang and entered the mansion.
In the hall, Tian Feng is accompanying the guests instead of the host. Wu and Deng Zhong's wife, Zhou, stood beside him. At the age of the year, Zhou gave birth to a son for Deng Zhong, and asked the master of Tunzhong to name him Deng Wen.
Seeing that the two brothers were leading the children in, the two concubines made amends to the guests, and pulled three small ones outside the door to sort out the dust and grass clippings on their clothes.
"Deng Ji has seen the patriarch!"
There were three guests in total, and the chief elder should be the patriarch of the Deng clan, who was about sixty years old, tall and fat, with long half-white hair hanging straight on his chest.
The two kneeling down were still very young.
Deng Ji bowed. The old man hurriedly turned his body slightly to the side, and said, "Don't dare to be!" Old decay Deng Cheng. The word Qiping. According to the genealogy, although he is the general's uncle and uncle, he has worked all his life and achieved nothing, and he has been ashamed of his clansmen and dare not accept the general's gift! ”
After a few words of self-humility, the old patriarch pointed to the first two young people: "There are two handsome men in this clan, the slightly older Deng Xian, the word Shida, Xi Wu, Xiao Taoluo; The young Deng Zhi, the word Bo Miao, has courage from the text, and they are all general brothers. General Wen cherishes talents, and he is specially ordered to see him! ”
Deng Xian, who was a little older, was really strong, but Deng Zhi, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, wanted to be thinner, but his body was about the same height.
This patriarch's introduction is interesting, those who practice martial arts understand Tao strategy, and those who study literature have courage, is it the opposite?
It was necessary to see the children again, and after the children cleaned up, they were also called forward to see the elders, and it took a whole effort to stop, Zhou's and Wu's led the children, and Deng Ji sat down on Tian Feng's head, and then asked: "I don't know what the patriarch means here?" ”
"Alas!"
Deng Cheng showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and replied: "Zhang Ji led the army into Nanyang, and Liu Biao can't be royal!" The Xiliang thief army was rampant, plundering the township day and night, harming the clansmen, in order to avoid being ruined and avoiding this military disaster, the old and cheeky led the clansmen to the north and asked for help from the general. General Shang Wang remembers the friendship of the same clan and shelters us! ”
The wealthy clan in Hanoi has so far refused to obey, and Deng Ji also has a headache for this relatives who ask for the door: "It is very easy to contain the clansmen, but I am in Henan to follow the law of the fourth-class people, and the big clan is intolerable, I don't know if the Deng clan may follow?" ”
If it weren't for the scary law of the fourth-class people, the entire Deng clan would have come a long time ago, so why wait until Xinye couldn't stay? Deng Cheng also had a headache: "We are the general's relatives, can't we make an exception?" ”
"I'm ...... Henan"
"Ahem! Cough! ”
After Tian Feng coughed twice, Deng Ji hurriedly stopped talking and paused: "Forgive the sin!" The patriarch and the two clan brothers will stay for a while, and Ji will return! ”
got up and walked to the back of the hall, and after a while, Tian Feng also arrived.
"Why did Master Tian stop me?"
Tian Feng's face was full of joy: "Do you know who is the ancestor of your Deng family?" ”
Deng Ji smiled bitterly: "My father and ancestors have been farmers for several generations, and they are illiterate, how can they know?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that this disciple was already the lord of Henan, Tian Feng would have been eager to give him a few more precepts: "The assigned homework is lazy, and I don't know the history of this dynasty!" Nanyang Xinye Deng clan came from the Yuanhou branch, and the Fufeng Dou clan, Hongnong Yang clan, Runan Yuan clan, was once the world's prominent clan! Although it has declined due to the affairs of Deng Kui and Deng Hong during the Emperor An, it cannot be regarded by ordinary clans! ”
"Who is Yuanhou?"
"Guangwu Zhongxing, the head of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai! Taifu Deng's Yu, the word Zhonghua, Fuguang Wuping the world is in chaos, Feng Gaomi Hou, Zhen Yuanhou! ”
"So powerful?" Emperor Guangwu Deng Ji knew, and he asked, "What does it have to do with me?" ”
"Idiot!" Tian Feng paused and said angrily: "Everyone in the world is vying to take the illustrious generation as their ancestor, you are not good!" Yuan Benchu is the fourth and third dukes, Cao Mengdezu is Cao Shen, and Ma Teng's thief Kou is also a self-proclaimed Fubo queen! If you have to be called the descendant of Yuanhou Deng Yu, the name of this thief on your body will be much lighter! ”
Deng Ji said helplessly: "Although I don't know the ancestral genealogy, if my family is a descendant of the Yuanhou, why is it like this for several generations?" ”
"Who in the world will check your genealogy?" Tian Feng was furious and reprimanded: "At this time, act cheaply, make an exception, if the whole family of the Deng clan is in Henan, there is a patriarch as evidence, who can question it?" ”
Isn't this an impostor? The image of Tian Feng, a righteous gentleman, collapsed in Deng Ji's heart, but he didn't say much anymore and took care of Shi Ran by himself.
After pondering alone for a while, Deng Ji returned to the hall and asked Deng Cheng, "I don't know how many people come with the patriarch?" ”
Deng Ji's master and apprentice have been out for a while, and they must have known that it is powerful, and now it is easy, Deng Cheng replied with a smile: "Both to avoid military disasters, naturally the whole clan will move, but unfortunately in this troubled times, the Deng family Ding withered, the loss has been many, now the clan, the tribe is only ten thousand and a half, more than 500 people close to the old decay to Luoyang, the rest are still outside Liang County, just waiting for the general to order, to enter with the street sign!" ”
"Shhh
Deng Ji had thought that the people waiting outside Luoyang City were already the whole clan who had come to him, but he didn't expect that the Deng clan, which had declined to the present, still had so many people, which was enough to make him gasp in his heart.
If there are only a few hundred people, it doesn't hurt to make an exception once, but tens of thousands of people, absolutely not!
After pondering for a while, Deng Ji ignored what Tian Feng said before, gritted his teeth and said: "Henan's policy of fourth-class people, it is really difficult to make an exception!" ”
Seeing that Deng Cheng and the others were stunned, he said again: "Extrajudicial feelings, Ji has two ways to settle the whole clan, please ask the patriarch to decide himself: maybe the whole clan can be placed in Xingyang, and all the land in its county belongs to the Deng family, and there is no need to follow the policy of the fourth-class people; Or the Deng clan practiced the law of my fourth-class people, and the clansmen were placed in the west of Bishui Pass. ”
Since the rise of Deng Ji, Deng Cheng has already heard that more than ten counties such as Xingyang are east of Bishui Pass, called under the rule of Henan, but because there is no danger to defend, it is Deng Ji's abandoned land, and there is not a single soldier.
Although it is dangerous, there is a county of land that belongs to one's own family, which is much better than the old residence of Xinye. As a wealthy family, the policy of the fourth-class people is really shaken fundamentally, and it is difficult to accept, if you don't want to go to others again, only the first of the two methods proposed by Deng Ji is feasible.
However, the Deng family is different from other clans: Deng Yu's granddaughter Deng Sui Nai and the emperor, after the death of the emperor, she had listened to the government as the queen mother for 16 years, which was the most glorious time of the Deng family, but after Deng Sui's death, the Deng family was falsely accused and convicted, except for those in power, all were forced to commit suicide, and the rest of the clan were no longer allowed to enter the court as officials, and they lost their rights for a long, long time.
Out of the desire for power, the second proposal was just as attractive to the Deng clan, although the blood was far away, but after all, they were of the same clan, as long as the whole clan was willing to implement the policy of the fourth-class people, the talented people in the clan would surely be able to be reused by Henan soon, far better than defecting to other strange princes.
Deng Ji's two proposals made Deng Cheng, the old patriarch, really difficult to decide, and couldn't help but be angry: "Although the Deng family has not been an official eunuch for 70 years, but after Zhongxing, he has been favored for many generations, and there are 29 marquis, 2 dukes, 13 people below the general, 22 colonels, 48 people in the state and county guards, and the rest of the servants, generals, doctors, langs, and confessors are innumerable, and the generals will definitely abandon them?" ”
Deng has produced so many talents? The words of the old patriarch naturally shocked Deng Ji, Tian Feng is not bad, if he can be called Deng Yu, it is indeed not bad!
After pondering for a long time, Deng Ji decided to add some more chips and said: "Don't be angry, if the clan is willing to enter Henan to practice the law of the fourth-class people, the tribe will be scattered, and I will make up for it by the people within the year; If there is not enough land, I will pay it with cloth. How is it? ”
With the addition later, Deng Ji can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, Deng Cheng communicated privately with Deng Zhi and Deng Xian for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.
This is a matter in the Deng clan, Tian Feng has been silent, at this time, seeing that the matter is over, his own disciple has handled it quite well, and then he asked: "You are from Nanyang, I don't know how the war is going?" ”
Deng Zhi replied: "On our way, I heard that the city of Wancheng has been broken!" ”
History has deviated, Zhang Ji did not die in the battle to capture Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu did not ascend to the throne. Today's lord of Nanyang is Zhang Ji, and he also has to face the same problem as Deng Ji: the land of Nanyang is densely populated, and because of the plundering of the Xiliang people, many thieves rebelled against him.
