Chapter 165: When I was a teenager
Tong Xiao was happy to hear this, and couldn't help but say: "Well, this Jin Xiangong is about to be as powerful as my grandfather." ”
The eunuch listened to him interestingly: "Who is your grandfather?" ”
Tong Xiao thought about it, as if his mother hadn't said anything about his grandfather, he saw that this old eunuch was amiable, so he said: "You don't know my grandfather, don't tell others, my grandfather's name is Di Qing." ”
"Ahh The old eunuch was shocked,
"Hmph, how about it, it's amazing~" Tong Xiao said while playing with the clay doll in his hand, he didn't notice the old eunuch's surprised expression, "So, your mother is the daughter of General Di Qing." ”
Tong Xiao raised his head, he looked at the eunuch and felt that he did not have any malicious intent: "My father told me the story of my grandfather's war. He thought about it again,
The old eunuch stood up, he opened the door and looked at the direction of the main room, his heart was full of mixed feelings, so many years have passed, who remembers the early years of Baoyuan, four years before and after the war between the Song State and the Western Xia, there was a supervisor in the imperial court to cooperate with Di Qing to fight, and dozens of battles were fought down, and the prison sent by the imperial court had become friends with Di Qing,
This supervisor of the imperial court was a minister, and later this supervisor was crowned as Zuo Qiji's envoy, but he was still a minister and became the head of internal affairs, until he knew that Di Qing was framed and Zhao Shu wanted to win him over, he ignored Zhao Shu's intentions,
Or that he has long seen through the officialdom, and just wants to serve the emperor well, in order to protect the edict and the mother and son under the moon, he hid the edict, but he didn't expect that the moon turned out to be the daughter of the deceased, how could he not sigh in his heart,
Tong Xiao saw that he didn't speak for a long time, walked up to his side and asked, "Uncle, are you angry?" ”
This eunuch had seen Mrs. Di Qing in Fenzhou back then, no wonder this eunuch felt that the lady next to the king was familiar, the old eunuch bent down and said softly to Tong Xiao: "You go and ask your mother, there is a Zuo Qiji envoy Shi Zhicong, does she know." ”
Tong Xiao saw that the old man said seriously, hurriedly ran back to the room, entered the house and called his mother, ran to the side of the moon, and whispered: "Mother, that old man is so mysterious today, he asked me to ask you, do you know that there is a person named Zuo Qiji Shi Zhicong." ”
Yuexia stood up when she heard this, why did this name sound so familiar to him, and suddenly she remembered that when she was in Chenzhou, her father had told him a few people before he died, and said: "I have never spoken like these friends, but I feel sorry that my daughter has not been by my side since she was a child, and I will have to do it as a last resort in the future, don't ask for help." ”
Among these people, one of them is Shi Zhicong, his father mentioned that he is the chief eunuch, is this old eunuch who guards him is him?
Tong Xiao saw the strange expression under the moon, and was startled and thought that he had said the wrong thing, he hurriedly said: "Mother, I told him that my grandfather is Di Qing. ”
"How do you know that little kid?" Yuexia asked in surprise, she had never told Tong Xiao about this,
"It was my father who told me that my grandfather was very brave." Tong Xiao muttered, and he said softly: "Mother, I know it's wrong, so I won't say it in the future." ”
The tears under the moon almost didn't fall, her husband was so grateful to her deceased father, and her heart was even more moved, seeing Tong Xiao's aggrieved appearance, she comforted: "Xiao'er is not wrong, my mother doesn't blame you, you go and invite the old man to come." ”
Shi Zhicong was invited into the room by Yuexia, and Yuexia was busy saluting Shi Zhicong, Shi Zhicong stopped him and said: "Alas, I really didn't expect that the daughter of the deceased suffered this ordeal. After that, I remembered that Renzong had also passed away now, and my heart was sad,
Yuexia said to Tong Xiao: "Xiao'er, the jade that your father gave you, you can let Manager Shi take a look." ”
"Oh." Tong Xiao said, and took out the peiyu tucked in his clothes from his arms, this jade he learned from the king's side, and also hung it around his neck and carried it in his clothes.
Shi Zhicong had seen Di Qing always wear this jade, although it was inlaid with gold, he recognized it, "Tong Xiao, you go to the courtyard to play for a while, if someone comes, you come back and say, I have something important to say to your mother." ”
Tong Xiao looked at Yuexia, Yuexia nodded, he turned around and walked out of the room,
Shi Zhicong sighed and said: "I am such a eunuch, Emperor Mengrenzong is important, for so many years, I have lived in the deep palace for a long time to serve the emperor, and I don't care about the affairs of the world, alas, I only know that Wang Shilang is General Di's beloved apprentice, but I don't know that the girl is the daughter of General Di." ”
Yuexia whispered: "Many people don't know about this matter, when my mother was wronged and was said to have witchcraft, my father left my mother, and later my father and husband in order to protect me, also did not mention our father-daughter relationship." ”
Shi Zhicong nodded, he also knew a little bit about the things back then, and after a silence in the room, Yuexia said: "Manager Shi is an old friend of my father, and I have something to entrust." ”
Shi Zhicong hurriedly said: "Don't be polite, girl, just tell the old man if you have anything." ”
Yuexia looked out of the door, she knew that Zhao Shu had a grudge with Wang Bi, now that Zhao Shu had ascended the throne as the emperor, for the emperor's face, it was impossible to release people easily, but she believed that as long as Wang Bi came back, everything would be fine, she only felt wronged Tong Xiao now,
"Manager Shi, Tong Xiao is our righteous son, if this child continues like this, it will be a pity, I think, can you find a way to save this child."
Shi Zhicong was very moved when he heard this, what Yuexia asked for was not for herself: "Okay, I can promise you this." ”
Yuexia smiled, got up and saluted slightly, as long as Tong Xiao could settle down, she had a thing on her mind,
Shi Zhicong said: "Wang Shilang's matter, the girl can rest assured, I heard that he has returned from Liao, but he was sent to Goryeo, alas, tell the girl the truth, Goryeo is now tense in war, the emperor is afraid that Wang Shilang will not go, so the girl is placed under house arrest." ”
After Shi Zhicong finished speaking, he looked at the moon, and the moon never asked him about the news next to the king, which made Shi Zhicong a little strange,
Yuexia smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Shi, I don't think things are so simple." "Yuexia knows this matter in his heart, if he just wants to send Wang Pan to Goryeo, Zhao Shu doesn't have to spend so many twists and turns, and Yuexia feels more and more that the reason why the prince imprisoned him has something to do with the illusion that Wang Pan and himself talked about.
It's no wonder that Yuexia thinks so, Zhao Shu interrogated Yuexia several times, Wang's witchcraft, Yuexia always thinks of what Wang Bian told herself, she believes that her husband doesn't know witchcraft, because she herself once had the ability to sense other people's thoughts, so Yuexia understands Wang Bian more and more,
Yuexia's words gave Shi Zhicong an illusion, he thought of the edict, and when he heard that there was no movement outside, he whispered: "It's not simple, the prince is worried that Wang Shilang will fight with him for the world in the future." ”
Yuexia was shocked, she also heard Wang Bi say that the Songwen sword worn by Wang Bi was a sword of disobedience when the sword was retrograde, and it was caused by that sword.
Shi Zhicong looked at Yuexia's surprised appearance and comforted Yuexia: "Girl, don't worry, I have entrusted the son of the deceased to tell Wang Shilang about this matter, and asked him to be careful. ”
Shi Zhicong left the room under the moon and returned to his residence, he walked back and forth in the room, what should I do about this, Zhao Shu forced him to hand over the edict, he said that he had entrusted it to others, if he was killed for no reason, the edict would be revealed to the world, Zhao Shu ordered him to guard the mother and son under the moon, and took him, the chief minister, away,
Shi Zhicong thought of the Queen Mother, and on the second day, Shi Zhicong led Tong Xiao to see the Queen Mother, as soon as he saw the Queen Mother, Shi Zhicong fell to the ground, and cried with tears, the Queen Mother was confused by Shi Zhicong's crying, and hurriedly ordered someone to help Shi Zhicong up and asked: "Mr. Shi has served the emperor for many years, and he has any grievances." ”
Shi Zhicong wiped his tears and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, I am a eunuch, now old and childless, recently, I saw this child elf, quite the wisdom of the old man when he was young, I want to accept this child, and I implore the Queen Mother to make a decree to fulfill the wish of the old minister." ”
As soon as the Queen Mother heard this, Shi Zhicong was smart back then, and seeing that he was loyal, this was not a big deal: "Okay, what can this be, I will reward this child to you." The Queen Mother looked at Tong Xiao and asked, "What's your name?" ”
Tong Xiao has heard what Shi Zhicong said just now, although he thinks this uncle is very good, but he has a biological father and a father-in-law, how can he recognize his father-in-law again, "My name is Tong Xiao, I have a father, this uncle is very good, well, can he not be his son as his apprentice." ”
The Queen Mother laughed even more when she heard this, and even the palace maids around her laughed: "You are a little child, and you want to be the apprentice of the head of Shi, so you want to purify yourself." ”
Tong Xiao shook his head: "What is purification, is it a bath?" The palace maid beside the Queen Mother smiled and bent over, and the Queen Mother also covered her mouth, for so many days, it is rare to have such a little guy, let the Queen Mother be happy,
Shi Zhicong was angry and helpless: "Queen Mother, Tong Xiao is too young and doesn't know how to clean, it's better to wait for him to be older and let him decide for himself, and people in the province say that the royal bullies Xiao Tong and is ignorant." ”
The Queen Mother suppressed her laughter: "What Manager Shi said is reasonable, Tong Xiao, I will decree that this old man will be your master, but you can decide for yourself in the future." ”
Tong Xiao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Queen Mother, but I have a request." ”
Huo, such a child less than ten years old, dared to make a request to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was in a better mood at this time, but asked with a smile: "You say come and listen." ”
"I wonder if I can go home with my mother......"
The Queen Mother shook her head, she couldn't make the decision on this matter: "This, no, but you can change your request." ”
Tong Xiao was a little disappointed, but he still had an idea, he said: "I don't want to be called Tong Xiao, I can't protect my mother." ”
"Oh." The Queen Mother looked at the child a little interestingly: "Then what do you want to call." ”
Tong Xiao listened to his chest and said: "I want to call Tong Guan, the 'Guan' of Changhong." ”
