The next day, the eldest grandson Chong was at home and heard the news that Erzhu had inquired outside.

"Young master, don't you see that those old and old, young, orphans and widows with children and grandchildren, kneeling at the door of Chang'an Mansion Yin, beating drums and singing grievances! said that the son who sacrificed in Goguryeo, Xianggong, told them that he didn't want to be a lonely ghost and die in a foreign country, and hoped that the family could find a way to take back those bones so that they could be reincarnated" Erzhu said that it was godly, and even the expressions of those people were imitated very similarly.

The eldest grandson Chong listened and asked, "What do the people of Chang'an think?" "This Li Er is very fast.

The ancients believed that if you die of thirst in a foreign land, you will become a lonely soul and a wild ghost, unable to be reincarnated and suffer in the underworld.

Naturally, they were very sympathetic, and some people rushed over from other places, seeing that they were pitiful, the people of Chang'an sent food and drink, and some even provided them with shelter. Master, you said that this is too strange, so many people have the same dream, is there really a ghost in the world? Erzhu was puzzled, and his face was suspicious. Although he was curious, he would not have thought that someone was manipulating behind his back!

The eldest grandson Chong patted Erzhu's head and said, "Where are the ghosts in the world!" It's just that those people miss their relatives, think about it every day, and dream at night, don't talk nonsense. At least Changsun Chong didn't believe it, although he now occupied the original Changsun Chong's body, he heard Hua Wu say that it was through a technique to transfer his soul into this body.

"What the young master said is, think about those people are quite pitiful, so many people died outside the gate, they can't go home, and the family is orphaned and widowed!" Dazhu echoed and said, "What did Chang'an Mansion Yin say?" ”

"You didn't look at the face of Chang'an Mansion Yin at that time, it was like a color palette. The Three Expeditions to Gao Gouli were the things of the former Sui, but those were also my sons and daughters of the Central Plains. People miss their son, and they want to bring back their son's bones, which is human nature, but now it is sealed in a few days, and the New Year is coming soon, and this matter is enough for him to have a headache. ”

"Why is that?" The second pillar is not as smart as the big pillar, and I can't figure it out.

"You are stupid, think about it, I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of corpses in the White Bone Jingguan. If it is definitely a very big project, it will have to send a lot of people and spend a lot of money, and if you don't want to recover those bones today, then you will rush to report it like this. It will upset His Majesty. Your Majesty cherishes his reputation, and naturally he can't help it. When the time comes, you can only trouble the prefect of Chang'an. Dazhu explained.

"Then don't report it!" Erzhu takes it for granted.

"That's even worse. The petition of more than 10,000 people, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many ears and eyes, and the Chang'an prefect does not report it, so if His Majesty knows the blame, the Chang'an prefect will not be able to run away from punishment. So whether you say it or not, it's full of uncertainty. Dazhu said with emotion.

Eldest Sun Chong nodded: "Da Zhu has analyzed it very thoroughly, Second Zhu, you have to study hard with your brother." ”

"Huh. I think I can only do errand work, and that's it for the rest of my life. Erzhu smiled honestly, knowing that he was two catties, and he never recklessly competed, anyway, as long as he was loyal to the young master, he would not be worried in this life.

"Hehe, don't worry, the Chang'an prefect will play!" The eldest grandson Chong said firmly, because yesterday this matter was stirred up by Li Er's people behind his back.

Sure enough, at the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the most shocking thing was that the families of the former Sui soldiers petitioned, hoping that the benevolent Tang Emperor could bring back the bones of their relatives.

The ministers, who were originally going to take annual leave, were excited and participated in the discussion about whether to accept the people's petition.

The eldest grandson Chong and Li Yexu leaned on the pillar, with their hands in their sleeves, and saw them fighting.

"Those are all former Sui soldiers, and they are the bitter fruit of Emperor Yang of Sui, we Datang don't need to bother to spend money and money to be strong for Emperor Yang of Sui!" One of the Goshi stood up and objected.

"That's a mistake! Although they are the soldiers of Emperor Yang of Sui and Goguryeo, their living family members are our people in the Tang Dynasty, so they naturally have to focus on the present. Your Majesty is a wise monarch through the ages, who loves the people like a son, and should go to bring back the relatives of the people, not because of Emperor Yang of Sui's mistakes, implicating the innocent people below. ”

The two factions argued, the eldest grandson Chong was hungry, took out a paper bag from Huali, took a small plum blossom snack, and put it in his mouth, well, it was delicious, I was hungry, and I felt very fragrant when I ate anything.

Li Yexu saw the eldest grandson Chong eating, and his stomach was rumbling, so he stretched out his hand and asked the eldest grandson Chong for it.

The eldest grandson Chong divided two for Li Yexu, when people are hungry, as long as they eat, it is very delicious. When the two of them were having a good time, Li Er was upset, Lao Tzu is hungry now, you two boys eat first.

"Eldest grandson Xiao Aiqing, what do you think about this time?" Li Er pretended to be, in fact, all the countermeasures had been discussed before, and now he wanted someone to say it.

The eldest grandson Chong's scalp was numb, but he didn't expect Li Er to ask him, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that he should accept the people's petition." ”

"Oh, tell me why!"

Eldest Sun Chong listened and said: "It is human nature to want relatives to return to their hometown, whether it is the former Sui or the Tang Dynasty, those soldiers are not wrong, they are just going to fight at the orders of the imperial court." Since it makes sense, let's talk about what makes sense. Dengzhou has already built two large ships, and now the third one is being built, and when the spring is warm next year, these ships can be sent to Huanren City, which will not cost much, and at the same time, it can also take the opportunity to exercise the ability of the navy and sea ships to transport long distances. ”

People who don't know hear it, their eyes light up, it is faster from Dengzhou, and it is much less than the land freight.

Li Er nodded and said, "That's very good!" Then in March next year, the boat will be punished from Dengzhou and the bones will be brought back. Li Er thought very thoroughly, anyway, naval training also costs materials on weekdays, so it is better to do something practical and get exercise.

The court decided on this matter, and Li Er even called Goguryeo's ambassador to explain that this time it was to recover the bones, and Goguryeo should not interfere. secretly warned Goguryeo not to act rashly, if the three ships made a mistake, then he would teach Goguryeo a lesson.

When the envoys of Goguryeo heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat and said yes again and again, and after they returned, they wrote a letter to the country and sent it quickly.

When the king of Goguryeo saw the letter, he quickly ordered the city walls to be trimmed to prevent the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

The people who came to petition kowtowed to the imperial city and shouted long live. Because it has become a corpse, it must be impossible to distinguish the specific identity, so it will be cremated and buried together after being transported to Dengzhou, and a tablet will be set up for them.

Seeing that the Tang Emperor's decision was reasonable, everyone left one after another. The reason Li Er needed had been found, and these people went home satisfied, not only getting the news that their deceased relatives could return to their hometowns, but also getting a pension.

It's the New Year, the house is lively, and after the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye, Changsun Chong has to set off.

The Dou family decided to follow Liu Muxiang this time, firstly, to take care of Changsun Chong's daily life, and secondly, to protect Changsun Chong. No matter how you say it, they are also husband and wife, and Liu Muxiang is always closer than outsiders. However, thinking that in addition to the first month, Liu Mulan wanted to get married, so he let the eldest grandson Chong go first, and Liu Muxiang waited for his brother to get married before leaving.

Before leaving, the eldest grandson Wuji called the eldest grandson to the study and said: "Child, there will definitely be danger here, several families in Hebei will not sit idly by and watch you swallow the fruits alone, you have to pay attention to this time." ”

"Got it, father, I'll be careful." The eldest grandson replied.

"Be sure to pay attention to your body when you're outside!"

"It's Father! The family is thanks to my father's hard work. The eldest grandson Chong said softly, he was not afraid of anything, just because there was the eldest grandson Wuji in the family.

"You can see that promotion is not a good thing for you, and I am very pleased to be a father. Paying attention to the north, Youzhou is settled, and Goguryeo is already some ethnic minorities in the north. The eldest grandson Wuji explained that his son's task is very heavy.

"Father, I understand that to take care of the local people's livelihood first, so that more people can live a good life, we have to prevent the families from using means behind their backs." Eldest Sun Chong actually saw it better than anyone else.

Changsun Chong packed his bags and left with Huo Qiang and Dazhu first, and Liu Muxiang would go to Changsun Chong after Liu Mulan got married.

Li Yexu met Changsun Chong at the gate of the city and said, "But it's time for you, let's leave now!" ”

"There's still nearly a month on the road, don't worry!" The eldest grandson Chong persuaded and said, "Why didn't I see you go to my house to quit?" ”

"I went, and you weren't home at the time." Li Yexu smiled strangely.

"What are you laughing at?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"Nothing!" Li Yexu shook his head again and again.

The eldest grandson Chong twisted Li Yexu's shoulders in disbelief and said, "Uncle, let go!" Let it go, I said it doesn't work yet! ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Yiniang made me several clothes, they look very fitted, I like it very much!" Li Ye said stupidly, "When I was a child, I wore the clothes my grandmother made for me, but when I grew up, my grandmother's eyes were not good, so all my clothes were made by my subordinates." Now that I have a mother, I don't want to wear clothes made by people in the future, and I feel very warm in my heart. ”

The eldest grandson Chong said jealously: "Girls are outgoing, it's not fake at all." Yiniang got so many good things from me, but she never made me a dress. I can see that when she gives less dowry, she will save our eldest grandson's family from being emptied. ”

"You are too greedy, you have a mother, and the concubine can't make clothes for you!" Li Yexu retorted, and did not allow others to say that they were not.

"That's different, it depends on the attitude! I've written it down, and when I go back later, I'll see if I don't clean up! The eldest grandson said angrily.

"Uncle, if you are angry, I will be angry with me, don't say Yiniang, she just cares about me." Li Yexu saw that the eldest grandson Chong was happy, so he begged for mercy and said, "Anything in the future, I will support you, so it's always okay, right?" (To be continued......)
