Chapter 253: Wei Feiyang
The emperor's judgment was really good.
Just by the faint sound of horses' hooves three miles away, you can judge how many knights there are, and this kung fu is far from being intelligent and intelligent, which shows that the emperor knows how to fight in vain.
The emperor strode out of the grass pavilion with his head held high, followed by Yang Zhi and others. As soon as the group stood still on the side of the road, they could already see more than ten horsemen galloping towards this side. The emperor shouted loudly more than a hundred steps away: "Is it Jinling Wei Feiyang?" ”
When the first horse immediately reined in the horse and stared, the entourage of the ten horsemen also followed closely to the reins of the horse, and when he boarded, a rhythmic horse neighed, and for a time there was a faint momentum like thousands of horses. The person who took the lead jumped off the horse first, and said in amazement: "Your Majesty?!" ”
Yang Zhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and reminded loudly: "Fourth brother, Master Huang has been waiting here for a long time with us!" Master Huang is a bold and sparse person, you and a group of relatives don't need to be too restrained, quickly lead the horse over to meet the ceremony! ”
Wei Feiyang's family education since he was a child is strict and does not like publicity, and the special situation of returning to Beijing this time is that he and the ten guards are in the same color of civilian clothes. After more than half a year, the young man who had nothing to do was much taller and stronger, and he was awe-inspiring and dignified in his face, and his face was quite mature and resolute.
took a deep breath, turned around and whispered to the ten guards: "The emperor and my three righteous brothers are here in small service, and you must not make a mistake!" ”
He threw off the reins and strode to meet the emperor who was also coming quickly, and bowed to the ground more than ten steps away from the emperor: "How can he be flying?" Unexpectedly, the old man came to greet him! The grace of the master, although Feiyang can not be repaid even if he dies! ”
The emperor laughed and said, "Boy, what are you talking about? I haven't seen him for a few months, how can I be so separated from the old man? ”
What words? Human words! Within a few months, there has been a huge change in personnel and personnel, can it not be divided?
I saw that the emperor hurriedly took a few steps to help Wei Feiyang with his own hands, looked at it, patted him on the shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Well, it's tall, it's also strong, good boy!" ”
Regardless of holding his hand, he walked back: "Come! And follow the old man to the grass pavilion to talk. ”
Under such circumstances, no matter how affectionate Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi were with Wei Feiyang, it was impossible to disturb the emperor's show. Naturally, it is inconvenient to interject. The three of them all bowed slightly to Wei Feiyang, and their eyes were full of eager greetings.
The emperor, who can be called a master of acting, is very dedicated, and since he has put down the shelf, he still does it very well. Straight into the grass pavilion. pressed him to sit on the sandalwood pier beside him, and called Xu Wenhan and the other three to sit down, and opened his mouth to say a kind truth: "To be honest, the old man still sneaked out today." It's not too early, and this is the official way. More than a dozen people such as me gathered here in both cars and horses, which inevitably attracted the attention of passers-by and business travelers, and it was really not appropriate to stay for a long time. The old man will make a long story short! Strict prescription, pour wine! ”
After Yan Fang poured the wine in front of everyone one by one, the emperor raised his glass to Wei Feiyang and sighed: "Boy, do you know? On October 29 last year, you took the lead in setting foot on Jinling City, and killed Zheng Tianci that night to suppress the mutiny, and the old man got a report on the evening of October 30, which was a sleepless night! ”
"Because the old man is happy! Happy for you! Happy for the old man himself! Happy for Great Xia! On October 29, the twenty-fifth year of Wucheng in the summer calendar, this day will be forever recorded in the annals of Great Xia with the name of Wei Feiyang! That's it. You deserve a toast from the old man! ”
To Yang Zhi's great surprise and great relief, Wei Feiyang actually responded very decently without changing his face: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the country, even if he has a little merit, how dare he speak of his name?" Thanks to the lord's false praise, Fei Yang was terrified, and he was ashamed. ”
After the two of them drank each other, the emperor nodded and praised: "It's rare that you have such a mind at a young age. ”
"The old man still has a few words, don't vomit and be unhappy today. The work of your father and son, the old man in front of your three brothers-in-law. Vow never to forget! However, there are some things that can only be understood, not spoken, and you must be considerate of the old man's difficulties. ”
There is one more verse that you must keep in mind. Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu. A son is a son. You are really a thousand-mile horse in Great Xia, if you are like a meteor in the pan, then the old man is guilty! ”
glanced at Yang Zhi meaningfully, and continued: "Han Gaozu once sighed: The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet. Back then, your father Wei Su named you, and he wanted his son to become a Chan. That's what it means. ”
"As far as the old man knows, you and Yang Zhi have not taken a word for the time being because they have not yet reached the age of the weak crown, and the old man will give each of your brothers a word today. Your name is flying, and your words are safe. The old man thought that when Yang Zhi died in the desert, he was posthumously named the general of the Flying Tiger, and in the future, you will use the word Flying Tiger! ”
Yang Zhi couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart: The emperor took the word Enron for Wei Feiyang, which is really meaningful. And the word Feihu for himself is just reluctantly taking advantage of the convenience to bring back the embarrassment caused by the chase when he was sealed. According to the emperor's original intention, I am afraid that it is better to take the word Zhongwu for him, and even the martial character behind it is better to omit it.
He Wei Feiyang arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the word!" ”
The emperor resolutely stood up and said, "Well, the words have come to this, and the old man will no longer be verbose. Your brothers have been reunited after a long absence, but the old man is so tired here that you can't talk freely. - An Ran, let your three righteous brothers accompany you to the Baqiao Pavilion to rest first, and the old man will go first! ”
The four of them bowed together and watched the emperor get into the carriage. When the emperor was far away, the three of them all looked at Xu Wenhan with inquiring eyes. Xu Wenhan smiled bitterly: "You don't have to look at me like that. After I washed up this morning, I was about to go to the court, but Yan Fang was already waiting outside the gate of my house, and only then did I know that the emperor was going to pick up the fourth brother in person. ”
Wei Feiyang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the three of them, choking and said, "Three elder brothers, I want to mess with the younger brother!" ”
The three of them hurriedly pulled him up, and without waiting for words to soothe, Wei Feiyang hugged Yang Zhi tightly and cried like a child who had been greatly wronged.
The three of them were all moved, and their hearts were full of feelings, and their eyes couldn't help but moisten. The great changes in his family and country in the past few months, for this sixteen-year-old boy, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of torment it is for these more than 100 days and nights!
The three of them were silent, and simply let Wei Feiyang hug Yang Zhi and cry happily. When he stopped crying, Yang Zhi clasped his shoulders and said continuously: "It's finally back!" It's good to be back, it's good to be back! ”
Qin Kongyun wiped his eyes and smiled, "Yes! If you don't come back, according to your third brother's temperament, I'm afraid I will go to Jinling to look for you! ”
Wei Feiyang said apologetically: "After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the emperor went to work on the day when he returned to the court. I personally saw that the emperor was still in good health and good spirits. Unexpectedly, the holy driver only left Jinling for a few days, and was shocked to hear that the emperor suddenly fell ill. According to common sense, the crown prince should escort back to Beijing as soon as possible in case of accidents. But instead, the crown prince led his army on a detour. When I got the news, I felt that something must be wrong. Therefore, on the one hand, several scouts were sent overnight to secretly track, and on the other hand, he secretly sent his henchmen and guards to Chang'an to investigate. ”
"The news from the Holy Driver's side is that the emperor is seriously ill and can't take care of things at all, and everything is in the hands of the prince. But he was not in a hurry to urge the escorts and horses to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Chang'an, on the other hand, was severely reprimanded by his father as never before. Immediately afterwards, I found out that the third brother, who was supposed to be far away in Shandong, suddenly appeared in the capital. When I think about it together, I can't get into the details, but I also know that something big must happen. ”
The rest of the story will not be repeated by the younger brother. But I know best my father's character, and I don't believe him when he instigated the prince to try to usurp rebellion! Before my father's crime is unclear and his life and death are uncertain, how dare I dare to return to Beijing? If you stay in Jinling, the emperor will be afraid, so it is for my Wei clan to have a glimmer of life! However, after the defeat of the crown prince. The situation gradually subsided, and the three brothers still did not say a word. The younger brother is stupid, and it is really difficult to decide whether to return to Beijing or not. It was only because of this that there was that wordless letterhead, which was not only to consult the three elder brothers, but also to explore the truth of the emperor. In this way, it has been delayed until today that I have returned to Beijing. ”
Qin Kongyun asked embarrassedly, "...... You already expected that I would definitely present your wordless letterhead to the Emperor? ”
Wei Feiyang smiled faintly and said, "Although the little brother's letterhead is empty, I believe that the three elder brothers will be able to understand it." The emperor must be able to understand it. As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell. The younger brother also understood what the situation was in Chang'an at that time, if it was just to show the three elder brothers, wouldn't it be a big problem for you? After you have seen it, it will be forwarded to the emperor. I think he's going to be more anxious than you. ”
After listening to Wei Feiyang's unhurried words, Xu Wenhan, Qin Kongyun and Yang Zhi couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all stunned: If the scheming is like this, is this still a sixteen-year-old child? …… It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, but compared to his only son, Wei Su is simply a super stupid bird!
Qin Kongyun sighed: "Fourth brother acts. has quite the style of a third brother. It is no wonder that the fourth brother once said that he and the third brother are called brothers, and they are actually masters and apprentices. Now it seems that what was said is true! ”
Yang Zhi laughed and said, "Look at your sour energy! Are you scolding me or praising me? It is not uncommon for us brothers and sisters to exchange ideas with each other in our spare time. Feiyang is a genius in the sky, you don't wear a high hat for me! ”
Xu Wenhan patiently listened to what they said and said: "Feiyang, your mind is far beyond our imagination, it should not be difficult to think of the emperor's true intention to come to greet you in person today." With all due respect, it is extremely rare for an emperor to treat your father and son to such an extent, and it is enough to be called the Lord of Wisdom. ”
Wen Yan urged: "As the third brother said, as long as the fourth brother comes back, it's fine." This is not the place to go into detail, the coming days are long, and we brothers are not in a hurry to meet at this time. Let's wait for these few days, let Feiyang go back to his house and settle down! ”
The three of them nodded yes, got on the horse as they were told, and walked slowly.
Yang Zhi reminded: "Feiyang, there is a section where you must be mentally prepared. The emperor just made it very clear, let's send you to the Baqiao Pavilion to rest today, I think from tomorrow onwards, it will be all official articles. ”
"The so-called wall is down and everyone pushes it, as long as no one touches your father, son and aunt, you don't need to worry about anything. As the saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you don't have to worry about no firewood! As long as you are here, what do you want in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to earn it? ”
Xu Wenhan echoed casually: "What the third brother said is extremely true. Fourth brother, when the emperor summons you to the Hajj soon, you must take the initiative to resign the title of General Yongyi and the title of Marquis of Zhennan as a third-class marquis in the name of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces in the name of the son's atonement for his father's sin! In this way, the emperor can have a step down. ”
Wei Feiyang replied gratefully: "Thank you two brothers for your teachings. The matter has come to this, how can the little brother still covet any title? I have already figured it out, and in the future, I will serve my parents at home with filial piety, and study and practice martial arts behind closed doors. For me, that's not a bad thing. ”
Xiang Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Third brother, I have only learned a little bit of your skills. This time when I go home and relax, I will definitely pester you every day as before. I hope my brother doesn't hide his secrets! ”
Yang Zhi said solemnly: "Believe it or not, I really haven't taught you anything before, and I've always been deeply ashamed of this." ”
"After this incident, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go out of the house at will in the future, so it's better to calm down and live in a simple place. Now that King Ning, King Kang and you have returned to Beijing, my stay in Chang'an will not be too long. When you get back home and settle down, as long as there is nothing else to do, I will come to accompany you every day. ”
He raised his head and said proudly: "Once you and my brother can exchange reading experiences together, we can learn martial arts together." Second, it's not my brother's boasting, I have been to your house a few more times, and I can give many people a long memory. If anyone wants to touch you, they must weigh it carefully, and see if I Yang agrees! (To be continued.) )
