Chapter 158: The Future Emperor's Uncle
Rushing to the front, Yuan Shao got off the horse first, stepped forward, and bowed his hand to Li Qin, with a smile on his face. Li Qin hurriedly dismounted, and also bowed his hand to Yuan Shao, the expression on his face was the same as Yuan Shao, and he was also smiling!
Yuan Shao shouldered the heavy responsibility of winning over Li Qin, of course, he wanted to show his affection well, he said: "Shao in Beijing, often hear people mention Li Lang's most righteous sentence, listen to Li Lang's deeds, even today's saints are full of praise for Li Lang, so Shao heard that the imperial court was going to issue an edict to Li Lang this time, so he specially asked for this errand, and wanted to make friends with Li Lang, how about we not be brothers?" ”
Li Qin listened to his polite words, and felt very strange in his heart, shouldn't a person like Yuan Shao be proud, he was born from the grassroots, and because he has a good relationship with the Ten Standing Servants, he is very jealous of some pretentious bureaucrats, Yuan Shao should also be one of these bureaucrats, how did he see himself, so flattering? And take the initiative to make friends!
Li Qin said with a smile: "Since General Yuan wants to make friends, then it is better to be respectful and respectful, in fact, I also want to make friends with General Yuan, I can often hear people mention you in Fujiao Fort, General Yuan's family is known as the fourth and third princes, and it is the mainstay of my Han......" He gushed endlessly, patting the Yuan family's sycophants.
Yuan Shao has always been proud of his family background, seeing that Li Qin still showed an envious expression on his face, he was proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Li Lang, it's funny, if you want to talk about your family background, your family background is even more glorious, the name of General Fei, there are still records in the history books, you are from a famous family, and you are a famous general, this is amazing!" ”
The two photographed each other for a while, and then they got on their horses and rushed to Fort Fujiao together. When Yuan Shao saw the shape of Fujiao Fort, he was immediately amazed, and he said: "Li Lang, this is your Fujiao Fort, how can it be built so strangely, but is there any way to say it?" ”
Li Qin said with a smile: "Brother Yuan has a good eye, just by looking at it, you can see the strangeness of this castle." To tell you the truth, my Fujiao Fort has been built like this, but there is a lot to say. Come on, let me explain it to Brother Yuan! ”
The cultivation of Fujiao Fort is quite eye-catching at first glance, in fact, as long as you understand people, you can find the mystery in it if you turn around, and it is a secret that can't be hidden at all, so Li Qin is generous, and he doesn't need Yuan Shao to go around the circle by himself, he will take Yuan Shao around first.
The two of them did not enter the fort, and went around the Fujiao Fort in a big circle, Li Qin pointed to the fort wall, and pointed to the surrounding terrain, and explained all kinds of benefits in detail, Yuan Shao was puzzled, as long as he asked, Li Qin explained, and did not hide any secrets.
After explaining a circle, they entered Fujiao Fort, Li Qin accompanied Yuan Shao to the fort wall, accompanied him to visit, Yuan Shao was very grateful, as long as it is related to military affairs in these years, it can be called secret, almost all generals, if they have some combat experience, they can't wait to hide it, pass on their sons but not daughters, and they are afraid that outsiders will know that they can be as generous as Li Qin, which is really unique, and there are very few.
After seeing the castle, Li Qin accompanied Yuan Shao into the school captain's office, in the courtyard, Yuan Shao read out the holy decree, and promoted Fujiao Fort to the township, and Li Qin was named the Fujiao Township Marquis, which was higher than the previous Guannei Hou. Li Qin was satisfied in his heart, he was now a townsman, even more advanced than Guan Yu's Hanshou Pavilion Marquis. However, it can also be seen from this that the ten permanent servants are more generous than Cao Ying, Cao Ying won over Guan Yu, but he only sealed a pavilion marquis, and he jumped to the rank of a village marquis, no matter how it is calculated, he is a prince.
Yuan Shao read the content about "rehabilitating" Li Ling, of course Li Qin should be grateful, and then feasted to entertain Yuan Shao.
At the banquet, the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have five flavors. Yuan Shao borrowed the strength of the wine and said casually: "Li Lang, I heard that Mrs. Tai's surname is He, and she is related to the current queen's mother, but she is the queen's aunt, is this true?" ”
Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and thought: "What, is it related to the current queen, or is it the queen's aunt?" Isn't the current queen He Jin's sister, how did this get involved, is it because of the surname He? There are so many people with surnames in the world, but they are not necessarily relatives, but people have already hinted at it, so we can't deny it! ”
He said: "This, there is such a saying, but the age is too long, my family is in a remote place such as Xiliang, whether it is related to the queen mother, this still needs to be verified, usually, we are just mentioning it at home, but we dare not talk to outsiders, for fear that others will say that we are pretending to be the emperor, there is a suspicion of disrespect!" ”
Neither said yes nor said no, vaguely let Yuan Shao guess by himself.
Yuan Shao heheaved in his heart, this Li Qin, after he claimed to be Li Guang, he didn't know whether it was true or not, it was very likely to be a fake, this is impossible to verify! However, whether he is related to the queen or not, this still needs to be verified, I can tell him bluntly that his family has nothing to do with the queen's mother!
But thinking so in his heart, Yuan Shao had such an expression on his face, clapped his hands and said, "It seems that the rumors are true!" Well, it can't be said to be a rumor, the last time I went to the house of Lord Shizhong for a banquet, Lord Shizhong had mentioned it, and took out the family tree, saying that there was an aunt in the family who married the Li family in Liangzhou, but because of the inconvenience of letters, lost contact, it is a pity. Lord Shizhong once said that the Li family married by his aunt was named Tian, and he didn't know if Li Lang's Lingzun was ...... Dare to ask what Ling Zun is called? ”
This is a very obvious relationship between Pan's relatives, it's just that Yuan Shao is climbing to Li Qinpan for He Jin, the Fujiao generals present are all not funny, it seems that He Shizhong can't sit still, and he has also come to win over Li Lang, but the method he used is really special, he actually wants to recognize Mrs. Tai as his aunt, this is to call Li Lang a brother!
Jia Xu was accompanied by the prime minister, and when he heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he replied for Li Qin: "Thanks to General Yuan's question, my father-in-law is indeed a famous man." After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Qin on the side, this is to recognize relatives, what do you have to say, don't say it now, it will be too late to talk about it later.
Zhang Qin was stunned beside her, she hadn't finished digesting Yuan Shao's words, why did she want to recognize Mrs. Tai as her aunt? The queen also wants to admit it? If they admit it, it is equivalent to recognizing it for the emperor, and if everyone meets in the future, the emperor will also call Mrs. Tai an aunt? This doesn't seem right!
Yuan Shao sighed and shouted: "Li Lang, if your family lives in Fujiao Village, then Ling Zun is really ...... Oh, isn't that Ling Ci the aunt of the current queen's mother, and Li Lang, you and Lord Shizhong are brothers! ”
He was wrong about this, he did a detailed investigation of Li Qin's family background, but he could only find out some things on the surface, like what happened before Li Qin was developed, he didn't know very clearly, Li Tian had never been out of business for most of his life, where he lived before, it was almost impossible to find out, and Li Tian was not a native of Fujiao Village, he moved later, this Yuan Shao did not find out!
But he didn't find out, but others knew, Zhang Qin has been coming to Fujiao Fort for so long, pretending to be close to the people all day long, and going around, Li Tian is not a local, Yuan Shao, the person who just came from Beijing, is mistaken, he is a person who has come from Beijing a long time ago, can he still be mistaken!
Zhang Qin finally spoke, he didn't want He Jin to have a nepotistic relationship with Li Qin, which would be very disadvantageous to the Ten Standing Attendants, he said: "General Yuan's words are wrong, Li Weng did not live in Fujiao Village, but moved from other places. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Shao, what's the matter, this can't be made up, with our family here, you don't want to pull Li Lang over.
But Yuan Shao had already guarded against this, it didn't matter if he was wrong, he could make it up, he pretended to be even more surprised, and said, "It's not Shiju Fujiao Village, is this really the case?" ”
Zhang Qin said loudly: "If this is the case, how can our family be wrong!" ”
Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said: "There is Zhongguan Zhang to testify, then that's right, Li Lang is really a brother with Lord Shizhong!" To tell the truth, when I went out of Beijing, Lord Shizhong prepared a lot of gifts, and asked me to give them to Li Lang, mainly to recognize my relatives, but I was afraid of admitting my mistake and causing Li Lang to be embarrassed, so I made my own opinion, just now deliberately said wrong, in fact, if Ling Zun lived in Fujiao Village, then it would not be the uncle of Lord Shizhong, if it was not Shiju here, it would be instead! ”
He looked at Zhang Qin with a smile on his face, and said, "Lord Shizhong will be happy to recognize his long-lost brother, thanks to you, Zhongguan Zhang, if you hadn't testified, how could you have recognized your relatives so smoothly?" ”
Zhang Qin sighed, he never imagined that Yuan Shao was so cunning, and his rebuttal was tantamount to testifying to him, wouldn't this be equivalent to pushing Li Qin to He Jin, if Zhang Rang knew about it, he would not have to pick up his skin!
Li Qin glanced at Zhang Qin, turned his head to Yuan Shao and smiled: "I see, I am actually a brother with Lord Shizhong, if Brother Yuan doesn't mention it, and Zhang Zhongguan doesn't testify, I still don't know about it!" ”
Jia Xu climbed up the pole, raised his wine glass, and said loudly: "Come, we have found a brother for Li Lang, drink this cup to the fullest, and wish the Lord Shizhong good health!" ”
The generals of the Fujiao Army all laughed, raised their wine glasses together, and toasted He Jin, who was far away in Luoyang.
Dian Wei dried up the wine in one gulp and asked Yuan Shao: "General Yuan, if you want to say so, then the eldest son of the emperor today, if he sees my young master in the future, won't he have to call his uncle, just like he calls Lord Shizhong?" ”
Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, is this person pretending to be confused, or is he really confused, how could the eldest son of the emperor really call He Jin his uncle, one is a monarch and the other is a minister, even if he is a relative, he can't call him indiscriminately.
Li Qin laughed in his heart, no matter which little emperor, as long as he was before the decline, he would not call him uncle, at most he would call me Li Qing, that would be a big face.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "Of course, of course you have to call it that, and you have to ......."
Yuan Shao was surprised in his heart, these generals in the frontier didn't take the royal family very seriously, and they dared to make fun of this kind of thing, they said it, I can't hear it. He hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Li Lang, the recent war in Bingzhou is urgent, I'm afraid that you will have to raise troops to suppress it if you don't say it, how do you train the army, can you tell me a thing or two, let me learn too?" ”
As soon as these words came out, no one immediately joked about the emperor's eldest son, and they fell silent and looked at Li Qin.
