In the nameless valley between the cliffs of Nanshan, the father and son of the Feng family walked down the mountain with a medicine hoe in hand and a bamboo basket on their backs.

Walking dozens of miles of mountain roads in one breath, watching the most dangerous road pass, I slowed down and wiped the sweat off my head and relaxed, the bamboo basket behind me was full of medicinal materials, and the precious medicinal materials collected today were enough for half a year.

The eldest man of the Feng family is named Feng Dan, and he vigilantly follows behind his father with a hunting bow to protect his back.

There are often tigers and poisonous snakes in Nanshan, and with a hunting bow not only for self-defense, but also for some prey to go home and fight tooth sacrifices.

Don't look at him at the age of seventeen, his childhood is not a silly boy who grew up playing in the mud in the village, except for parents who have no ambitions, every family will put the education and training of their children on the agenda.

From the age of five, he began to read and write, at the age of eight he followed his mother to learn pharmacological knowledge, at the age of thirteen, he followed his father to the mountain to collect medicines and identify medicines, and at the age of fifteen he completed the task of collecting medicines on the mountain alone.

In the past few years, I have crossed the mountains and mountains, relying on a bow and a knife to walk all over the mountains and mountains of Hedong and Guanzhong, and the dense forests I have walked through will not be much worse than the old hunters in the mountains.

In addition to collecting medicines, I get up at dawn every morning to exercise and stretch my muscles.

Those who go up the mountain to collect medicine all the year round must be proficient in self-defense, and Feng Dan's archery skills and guns have been carefully taught by the guards of the Hou Mansion, and it is not a problem to deal with three or five strong men with knives.

The father and son walk in the mountains all the year round, the foot of the ten-mile mountain road is very easy in half an hour, out of the Nanshan Mountain into the Guanzhong Plain, their own carriage is tied to a secluded corner, the horses are leisurely grazing in the woods, the beasts in this vicinity have long been cleaned up, and the traps are laid in the hidden corners where the beasts often haunt, so that the jackals, tigers and leopards will hurt the horses.

Tie up the horse and drive the chariot, walk north along the plain, and walk only a few miles to the official road.

"Dad, when do you think the prince will come back?"

"What? You stinky boy still don't let go of your mind? ”

Feng Shan touched his head and smirked: "I heard that Taixue will start school in August, and I see that there are still two months to go." If you want to apply for a name to study in medical school, don't you also go to Taixue to work? ”

"You kid, I won't let you go for your own good. I heard from the deputy priest that the graduates of Taixue will go to fight outside in the future. You don't want to do such a dangerous thing at such a young age. Feng Xin's worries were not unreasonable, but how could his words convince his young and vigorous son.

Feng Shan pouted very disapprovingly, Taixue has been built for a year and a half, and the citizens of Chang'an have watched it from a large earth pit to a large college complex rising from the ground, and seeing that the Taixue project will be completed within two months, representing a large building that accommodates 50,000 students and 8ooo faculty and staff is about to be completed, and it is conceivable how many Chang'an citizens are looking forward to the appearance of the new Taixue.

I learned from his father three months ago. Taixue has several large faculties, and all over the world is invited to teach in Taixue, and Chang'an City is boiling overnight, Feng Shan vows that he must not miss this opportunity, and he will regret it for the rest of his life.

The carriage went east, and when it was about to reach the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, the road ahead was blocked.

Feng Shan didn't move for a long time, jumped out of the carriage and greeted: "I said Third Brother Shen, what's going on in front?" ”

"Yo, isn't this the Feng Yigong and the Feng family brothers! You must have just come back from collecting medicine. That's a good feeling, the prince just came back. ”

Feng Dan's eyes widened: "What are you talking about?" Is the prince back? ”

"No, the prince has come back from the south. I heard that the destruction of a barbarian kingdom is a great credit! ”

Feng Dan suddenly couldn't sit still: "Dad sits first, and the child will come back when he goes to the front to take a look." ”

The long convoy blocking the road came from the Xungui family in Chang'an City, and thousands of cars filled the road leading to the Pingyang Houfu, and they came for only one purpose.

Cao Shi returned to Chang'an.

After being looted and missing for half a year, the Son of Heaven asked again and again every day with worry, and the officials and ministers always remembered that many people were worried about it and came back.

He was accompanied by the captives of the country of Yoro, 100,000 captives. There are thousands of nobles of the country of Yelang, and they also captured the king of Yelang. The crown prince, wipe out the country of Yelang.

"Cao Gong! Congratulations on your safe return! ”

"Pingyang Hou. I haven't seen more robustness for half a year, and it's a pity to return with honor! ”

"The general of the chariot cavalry returned safely, presumably the Son of Heaven is very happy."

Thousands of familiar or unfamiliar faces, smiling and complimenting, Cao Shi suddenly had the illusion of being in a different world, just a few months ago, he was still fishing and catching shrimp in the scorching sun on the border of South Vietnam, and he sat in the mansion of Chang'an City to feast on the guests, and the drama of life is nothing more than this.

Cao Shi came back a little late, his baby son was born in the eighth day of April in the second year of Jianyuan, and it was only two months after the anniversary, and Liu Wan finished her confinement.

The moment she saw her husband, Liu Wan could no longer maintain her calm sanity, hugged her husband's shoulders and cried: "Gentleman, the concubine is so worried about you, I'm afraid that the gentleman will not eat well and live badly, and he will be sick and injured. ”

The maidservants consciously retreated.

In the room, only the husband and wife who had been reunited after a long absence, complained to each other.

Gently holding his wife's gentle waist, Liu Wan seemed to lose three points, and Cao Shi's heart ached: "My wife, for our family, you have suffered too much and sinned, all because your husband is too careless and relaxed your vigilance, and the harmful maid is afraid for me, and my husband is wrong, and I will correct it in the future." ”

At this time, the son suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and cried.

Liu Wan picked up her son and untied her clothes, and breastfed while coaxing the child, her face was full of maternal brilliance.

Cao Shi looked at it stupidly with wide eyes, her husband's eyes stared unabashedly, Liu Wan turned around embarrassedly and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

He touched his head embarrassedly: "I want to ask you why you don't let the nurse feed the child, I remember that the noble woman doesn't feed the child." ”

Liu Wan let out a long breath, hugged her son who was breastfeeding, and said softly: "Every night when the gentleman is missing, the concubine will say to the child in her belly, the concubine doesn't know when the gentleman will come back, she just hopes that our baby will grow up soon, his father is a good man who stands up to the sky, how much we love the baby, and give the baby a nice name." Cao Xiang. ”

Cao Shi's heart trembled suddenly, like a seed taking root in his heart.

He understood.

His wife, Liu Wan, is a very gentle woman, and when she is pregnant with Liujia and is about to give birth. Her husband was kidnapped by thieves and disappeared, and what she could rely on was not the queen mother of Changqiu Palace. is not Liu Che, the son of heaven in Weiyang Palace, only the baby son in her belly.

The birth of her son is of great significance to Liu Wan, this immature baby is not only a piece of meat that fell from her body, but also carries all her hopes, the hope of living.

Cao Shi had a thousand words in his heart, but when he saw his wife's relieved expression of breastfeeding the child, he suddenly felt that he couldn't say a word.

What is the pain I have endured compared to the suffering of my wife?

Xiao Cao Xiang ate and drank enough, and soaked in urine again. I slept with a satisfied face.

Cao Chang sighed: "It's okay for the child to bring it himself, remember not to indulge in spoiling, the child's education and training must win the heart, and we can't let our children become Chen Chan and the like!" Weide is far away, our children are called Cao Xiang, and we hope that our children will be as Weide as far away as this name. ”

"Well, what the gentleman said is very right, the child's education is left to the gentleman's decision." Liu Wan snuggled in his arms, happy as a midsummer flower.

When Cao Shi came back, Uncle Chen was very happy.

But seeing that there are many familiar figures missing from the team. It wasn't until Wang Meng's wife and children were crying that the old man knew that Wang Meng was dead.

Uncle Chen occupied the door of Wang's house and lingered for a long time without entering the door. Wang Meng is the child he is optimistic about, and he said that it was gone in the blink of an eye, and the old man who was nearly eighty years old couldn't accept it.

"At the beginning, the old servant also sent away my child in this way, there were more than 300 men killed in the war of our Hou Mansion that year, every family wore hemp and every household with filial piety, the old prince did not survive the winter and died, you were only a little more than four years old at the time, and the old servant was just a rough man who didn't know a lot of words. I don't have any big skills except for a handful of strength, and I really don't know how to support the Pingyang Hou Mansion. The old servant really thought that the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was going to end. ”

Cao Shi also tended to squeak without squeaking.

The heavy blow of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, the Pingyang Hou Mansion almost did not survive the threshold. At the same time, there were many princes who died in battle, died of illness, died of injury, died of depression, and died of grief, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty mercilessly seized the feudal province and abolished the Hou State, and even the meritorious Marquis Zhou Yafu could not advise, the princes were almost killed by the pit, the impression of the blow was too deep, and the old people often liked to mention the old things at that time.

"The old servant may die one day, the three doctors entrusted to the prince by the old prince back then, there are only two people left now, the prince wants to make a big career is good, but you must be careful to take the road of the old prince!"

Cao Shi's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said solemnly: "The past does not forget the teacher of the future, my father's experience back then is always remembered by me, and I never dare to forget." ”

Uncle Chen said: "With the age of the old servant, I really can't do anything for the prince, so the old servant invites himself to return to the Pingyang Marquis to guard the ancestral business for the prince, train a few more good children who are solid and solid to guard the ancestral tomb of the Cao family for the prince, and take care of the lives of the 27,000 households of the Pingyang Marquis country." ”

"Don't you really want to stay and live your old age?"

"The old servant has nothing to raise this old bone, and it is also very good to go back to the old Hou Mansion to bask in the sun, thanks to the monarch Hou Hongfu, the population of the Hou Kingdom is growing very fast, and there are 3,000 households in Jiangyi, that place is the anointed land of Jiangyi, the old servant is thinking about going back to re-planning the farmland, so that those lazy boys can learn all the farming techniques in the pass, and they can grow 4 stone of grain per mu in two years, and everyone can live a good life......

Uncle Chen finally returned to Hedong.

The old man is not used to staying in the suburbs of Chang'an for more than a year, but he still likes the peaceful and peaceful life of Pingyang Houguo, and the old Hou Mansion in the Hou State is guarded by ordinary old families, and it is the residence of the servants who are old and like to live a peaceful life, Cao Shi does not plan to return to Pingyang Houguo, and it is a good thing to let Uncle Chen go back.

In the early morning of the second day, the court meeting was held once every five days.

After more than two hundred days and nights, Cao Shi stepped into Weiyang Palace again.

"When the general of the chariot rides, meet the Son of Heaven!"

"Aiqing, please get up!"

Cao Shi glanced at the trembling figure kneeling in the court, it was Yelang Wang Jinzhu and the crown prince Jinzhu, the fate of the Yelang royal family was already doomed, and he could only be encircled in Chang'an as a mascot in this life.

The confessor took out a holy decree and read: "The general of the chariot cavalry broke the Yelang army, captured more than 120,000 armor soldiers, captured a royal city, 52,000 jin of gold, 900,000 jin of silver, ivory rhino horn pearls and gems are countless, and I have made great contributions to Sheji, I decided to sacrifice the prisoners to the Taimiao in seven days to show the prestige of the Han family!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Prime Minister Xuchang is very envious, it is a great honor to sacrifice prisoners in Taimiao, since the death of Emperor Taizu Gao, there have been fifty-five years, successively passed on Emperor Xiaohui, Emperor Taizongwen, Emperor Gaozongjing and today's son, four generations of emperors only when today's son is dedicated to Taimiao, this is not only the glory of the courtiers, but also the great glory of an emperor.

The original intention of offering prisoners to Taimiao was to boast about their merits to the ancestors and ancestors, proving that the emperor did not insult the honor of the ancestors.

fell on Cao Shi's body, which was a great merit, so the discussion of merit became the main issue of the imperial court.

Tingwei Tian Wei is envious, jealous and hateful, because of the process of suppressing the Dou family, Tian Wei's role in it is diametrically opposed to the will of the Son of Heaven, simply put, Tian Wei stood in the wrong team and ran to the Dou family's camp to attack Cao for the Dou family, so his Wu'an Hou's quality is not enough, only 2,000 households, and his younger brother's Zhou Yanghou only has 1,800 households, compared to the half-brother Gaihou Wang Xin's more than 108,000 miles.

Tian Wei felt that it was all his fault, if Cao Shi hadn't come out to hook up with Liu Ling, he would definitely not risk the world's disapproval, let alone repeatedly stand on the wrong side to anger the Son of Heaven Liu Che, and even cause his sister Queen Mother to be dissatisfied several times.

He hated to death in his heart, and heard that Liu Ling was with him along the way, in case this pair of dog men and women really became a good thing, Tian Wei's hatred itched: "Yelang Country is only a small country, the household is not more than 100,000, although there are many soldiers, it is not enough to be troubled, and the minister thinks that the reward cannot be set too high, otherwise it will not be good to reward those who have made great contributions in the future." ”

The ministers were stunned.

The heart said that Wu Anhou sang a play, and when he opened his mouth, he said something not very good, didn't he see that the face of the Son of Heaven had become unsightly!

Liu Che was displeased: "Tingwei thinks that I should reward better." ”

"This ......" Tian Wei realized that he had just said what was in his heart, and hurriedly made amends: "The minister thinks that it is good to reward more gold beads and treasures, after all, there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the wealth is moving." ”

The Son of Heaven snorted coldly and left him and continued to ask: "If you Aiqing still have any opinions, just say it." ”

The three princes and nine kings said one after another, and directly ignored Tian Wei.

Tian Wei trembled angrily: "Hate boy, all the good things happened to you, why don't you die in the jungle of South Vietnam, and the account of offending the Son of Heaven will also be credited to you!" (To be continued)
