Zhao Lie didn't know at this time that the Great Tomorrow was beginning to miss him, and the spy agency he had heard of for a long time, Jinyiwei, was dispatched. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He did not arrive in Dengzhou, anyway, the lord of the town was guarding in Beijing, and Chang Runing, the commander of the guard, was also in Beijing, he was happy to return to Shidao's home to rest, and Fang Relax.
When the fleet approached the wharf, he ordered Zhao Meng, Tang Xianwen, Xu Hong and others waiting on the wharf to wait for all the soldiers to disembark before going ashore.
In this campaign, the broken army suffered heavy losses, and at the same time, due to the long time, the soldiers were more tired, as the commander of the first army, he finally got off the ship to reflect the meaning of sharing weal and woe, Zhao Lie did not want even a small omission to shake the morale of the broken army, especially when there were heavy casualties, the generals should be more careful.
When Zhao Lie boarded the dock the next day, Zhao Meng, Tang Xianwen, Xu Hong and others had already been waiting on the dock for a long time.
"Second brother, you can be regarded as returning home safely, and the whole family is worried about it." Zhao Meng patted Zhao Lie's shoulder vigorously when they met, reflecting his happy mood.
"Thanks to the brave soldiers who fought the enemy, our army also suffered heavy losses."
"Congratulations to your Excellency on your triumphant return from killing the enemy." Tang Xianwen, Xu Hong and others stepped forward to give a salute.
"We waited for the battle to kill the enemy chieftain, the name shocked Gyeonggi, and this battle also has your credit, without you raising food, armor, and baggage in Shidao, how could there be our army's victory in Zhuozhou." Zhao Lie returned the salute.
A group of people gathered around Zhao Lie to return to the mansion, at this time the mother was sitting at home, and Alexandra's fetus was the first person in the three generations of the Zhao family. As the head of the Zhao family, how can the Zhao Qin clan not be nervous. has long been on the road to take care of his future grandchildren when he got the news. When Zhao Lie returned to Shidao, of course, he had to meet his mother as soon as possible. In addition, Alexandra also worries him.
Enter the mansion. When he came to the main hall, Zhao Qin's family was already sitting and waiting, and Zhao Lie immediately fell to the ground when he entered the hall, "I've seen my mother." ”
Zhao Lie has long been accustomed to the filial piety of the Ming people at this time, and the children who have been away from home for a long time must bow to their parents when they return home.
"Lie'er, get up." Zhao Qin stepped forward to help Zhao Lie up, and took a good look at Zhao Lie, "Take a look." That's all lost so much. ”
Zhao Qin's eyes were full of tears, she also knew that the second son had been running around for several years to fight for the future of the Zhao family, and she was clear about the danger of this battle, God blessed, the second son who was the most prominent in the family could be regarded as victorious and returned safely.
Zhao Lie Khan, when did the mother see her children who had been reunited after a long absence, she thought that the children were suffering outside.
"Just now, your daughter-in-law is going to pick you up, but her mother didn't let her go, she is already a person who is pregnant, how can she move lightly." Zhao Qin was slightly dissatisfied.
In the eyes of the women of the Ming Dynasty. If she is pregnant, she should rest and protect the fetus, but this daughter-in-law still went to the orphanage to be busy. It's really an uneasy one, alas, it's still a barbarian in the end. "Now, you go to see your daughter-in-law, put a stick of incense on Guanyin Bodhisattva for your mother, thank her old man, and I'll let you eat in a while."
Zhao Lie responded, to be honest, he was quite satisfied with the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but some contradictions were inevitable, after all, the daughter-in-law snatched her son away, and the mothers were a little resentful, this is human nature, not to mention that the daughter-in-law is still a foreigner, and it adds some variables, Zhao Lie is also helpless, and he has to run in.
As for the gods and Buddhas in the sky, Zhao Lie can be said to be not sensitive, if there is really such an immortal, how can the immortals let the disasters that killed millions of Han people in history happen, how can they be so happy after the Jiannu killed the Ming people in front of him, and now Huang Taiji has already returned to Liaodong, hiding in Shenyang and happily counting the small money, it can really be said that the people are suffering and the beasts are happy.
Zhao Lie returned to his house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Alexander and Zhao E waiting at the door of the main house, and when he saw Zhao Lie enter the courtyard, Alexandra's eyes were soaked with tears when she was neutral, and she looked at Zhao Lie with a smile, and Zhao E was trotting towards Zhao Lie with her skirt raised.
"Oh, it's so heavy," Zhao Lie grabbed Zhao E, and took a closer look, now sixteen-year-old Zhao E is already a big girl, tall and beautiful, but her complexion is slightly dark.
"Second brother, after you left, I have been with my sister-in-law, how about it, there will be a reward." Zhao E invited the merit.
"Well say, whatever reward you want, let it come." Zhao Lie said coolly.
"Well, this is not in a hurry, when I get along, I will ask the second brother again, for now, you should reunite with your sister-in-law. The sister-in-law of the province thinks I am too ignorant. Zhao E let out a silver bell-like laugh and ran away.
"Little girl." Zhao Lie scolded with a smile.
Zhao Lie took a few steps forward and hugged Alexandra, and Alexandra burst into tears, wetting Zhao Lie's shoulders.
"Makes you worry and be afraid." Zhao Lie said distressedly, he knew that this kind of powerless and only waiting was not pleasant.
"I sometimes really regret marrying a man like you, I don't know where you are, if you're safe, and I don't know when you'll settle down." Alexandra choked.
"I'm sorry... Zhao Lie was just about to comfort her, but Alexandra blocked his lips with one hand and stopped him.
"But for the sake of the countless refugees who have been spared, I pray every day that you will return victorious." Alexandra raised her head and looked at Zhao Lie's eyes with an expression, "You are the hero of the Ming Dynasty, and you are destined to save all the people, so I have to be less selfish and let you continue to fight for the people here." ”
Zhao Lie only hugged Alexandra tightly, his eyes were moist, and it was most difficult to accept the grace of a beauty, especially if he wanted more.
"Yali, I'm not feeling well." Zhao Lie asked, in this era, having a child, especially the first child, is to pass the ghost gate. He looked at Alexandra, although there was still a month to give birth, and her belly was very big, but it didn't give people a bloated feeling.
"I don't have any big feelings, it's good, I have to go to the orphanage or the charity hall every day, and I am happy to see the children's laughter, which makes my wait less difficult." Alexandra laughed.
"My lord, please take a shower and change your clothes." The maid Wang Yue stepped forward at this time.
Zhao Lie did not delay and hurriedly went to bathe. Although it was less than ten days on the ship. But he couldn't guarantee that any germs would infect their mother and daughter. It's better to be careful.
At dinner, Zhao Qin's family served Zhao Lie vegetables one after another, showing his motherly nature, Zhao Lie couldn't shirk it, he ate a round belly, and almost couldn't get up. In Zhao E's words, today Zhao Lie has replaced the position of his sister-in-law and has become the person who is most cared for by his mother at the dinner table.
Night. Zhao Lie is sleeping a lot, to relieve fatigue, although in the past two months, there has been nothing to do in Zhuozhou, just to recuperate, but after all, it is in the battle situation, there is always a string in the mind, and now back to a safe home, the whole body is relaxed, so I have a good sleep.
until the end of the second day. Zhao Lie got up, and he slept for more than a good time. At this time. The guards came to report, Li Mingyu and Mr. Li had been waiting for a long time.
"The adults defeated Jiannu, beheaded the enemy chieftain, and greatly increased the might of my Denglai army, and I congratulate you here." Li Mingyu met and bowed.
"Mr. Li is too polite, how dare the kid." Zhao Lie hurriedly returned the salute, but Mr. Li had a half-teacher friendship with him, and he would never dare to trust him.
The two sat down, and Wang Yue served fragrant tea.
"Mr. Li, this official has been absent for a few months, what changes can there be in the Thousand Households." Zhao Lie asked.
"Rest assured, Zhu Ying and others have helped a lot, thousands of households are very peaceful, this year's cultivation has long been over, so far the wind and rain are smooth, and the military households are full of energy." Li Mingyu replied.
He looked at Zhao Lie with complicated matters, Zhao Lie had brought the Zhao family to such a situation in a few years, and it was rare that Zhao Lie was only twenty years old now, and he could really be described as a genius.
Zhao Haiming is really enviable, and the Zhao family is so prosperous. It's no wonder that his own daughter will take a fancy to this black charcoal head, alas, a wicked obstacle.
"I still rely on Mr. Li to work a lot so that the official has no worries, thank you, sir." Zhao Lie solemnly thanked him, Li Mingyu was not conspicuous in the Thousand Households, but he had settled everything in the Thousand Households, and he got along well with other generals, and he was really a capable person.
"The reputation of the adults is just a little tedious, and Li is just doing his duty." Li Mingyu shirked. "Most of them have been fighting for many years, and they have won every battle, and Lord Zhao can be said to have a successor."
"Mr. Li has won the award, and it is a little bit of merit, not enough to worry about." Zhao Lie said with a smile, in his heart, he was just relying on the advantage of crossing and the power of the Zhao family to make use of it.
"You don't have to be too modest, if it's a battle battle, it's just the duty of a military general, however, your lord predicted the general trend in the north of the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, and now it's fulfilled one by one, in addition, make friends with Xiyi, lead to help, build a fleet, expand the territory, introduce seeds, govern thousands of households, let the military households live and work in peace and contentment, and settle hundreds of thousands of refugees.
After Li Mingyu finished displaying, he was also taken aback, when did Zhao Lie experience so many major events. "What the adults did made millions of officials of the Ming Dynasty ashamed to kill."
"Mr. Li is overrated, Zhao Lie is just to regard the people of the Ming Dynasty as the foundation of the country, the people have no peace and contentment, then the family and the country are worried about overturning, the king and the eunuch regard the people as grass mustard, and the people regard the king and the eunuch as the enemy, and now the Ming official eunuchs and gentry are short-sighted, blindly oppressing the poor people, completely ignoring the weakness of the Ming people for decades, just imposing taxes, to countless Ming people's families are ruined, and they have to rise up to resist and join the righteous army. Either the righteous army overthrew the Ming, or the slave broke through, the Ming Dynasty was not long in life, and the Ming gentry and eunuchs were afraid that there would not be one out of ten, either to take refuge in the righteous army, or to forget their ancestors and take refuge in foreign tribes. Zhao Lie's first encounter with Li Mingyu revealed some thoughts.
"The king regards the people as mustard, and the people regard the king as an enemy." Li Mingyu muttered to himself, of course he knew that this was what Mencius said, the king regarded the minister as a mustard, and the minister regarded the monarch as an enemy.
What Zhao Lie said has not been slightly changed from time to time, but it has not deviated from Mencius's original intention of winning the hearts of the people according to the world.
To say, this sage said, the Ming officials and scholars are all backwards, however, the unity of knowledge and action is nowhere to be found, to know that the scholar was almost ambitious before he ascended to the Jinshi, and imagined the time when he would take charge of the party in the future to protect the territory and the people.
It's just that once they enter the officialdom, they seem to have stepped into a whirlpool, either with the gentry, or as they do, they will not back down and be impeached and removed from office, and in the end, those who keep their hearts will not be left behind.
Today, from the mouth of a martial artist out of the famous sentence of the sages, pointing out the biggest dilemma of the Ming Dynasty today, it is really a huge ridicule, what happened to the Ming Dynasty, the ministers and scholars of the monarch will make a mess of the country, but they want the martial arts to rule the world again, is the Ming Dynasty really dying soon. Li Mingyu lost his mind for a long time. (To be continued.) )
