Chapter 007: Gifts
The White Tiger Festival Hall is full of civil and military personnel, the civil official sequence is Fan Siqi, Lin Pengyu and others, and the military attache sequence is Li Guangcen, Mu En, Mu Kui, Ke Zhenwei and others, today is the first time that Yang Hao has gathered generals and soldiers as a Jiedu envoy, Li Guangcen has to make a bright appearance as the deputy envoy of Jiedu, so he also rushed to support himself, fully clothed, but his body was really weak, and Yang Hao specially gave a seat.
Fuzhou Zhe Yuxun and Linzhou Yang Chongxun will jointly arrive today, and today's gathering of generals is not only the first time that the officials have been in charge after he built the government and appointed officials from all walks of life, but also it is convenient to go together to greet the two candidates who dominate the party.
The hour was still early, the drum was raised, and the position was in order, after seeing the boss, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Lin Pengyu said excitedly: "My Luzhou rose in the land of the four wars in the northwest, favored by the traveling merchants, and supported by the two states of Fulin, Shinong and industry are gradually ready, and there is today's situation after only two years of life and gathering." The festival marshal is blessed by heaven, the public expects to return, the government is opened, and the court has become a festival with double festivals, and has become the protector of Tantric Buddhism, and the people of the northwest have a heart, the time, the place, and the people are all prepared. What are the plans of the marshal in the future, it just so happens that the civil and military subordinates are here, why don't you talk to everyone about it. ”
The old thing is a little excited today, he also had a young time, and he also had a young man who pointed out the country and was high-spirited, but he was born at the wrong time, he didn't have that kind of opportunity, and he didn't have such a big ability, and his ambition gradually faded. But he never thought that when he was old and spring, the dead trees sprouted, he had the opportunity to assist a Ming lord and establish a hegemony, even if it was a corner of the northwest country, it was a little smaller, but it was better to be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, it was also a piece of the country, who didn't want to be the founder of the country, and the name went down in history.
The civil and military officials also tasted the taste of his words, although they all knew that now Luzhou still needs to continue to resist the banner of the Song State, there are some things that can be done, but they can't say it clearly, but they still hope that Yang Hao can reveal his ambition to everyone a little, after all, this is a dry way to tie his head to the waist pocket of his pants, and if the people they are trying to support are not clear about their ambitions, they are somewhat unsure in their hearts.
Yang Hao is on the horse to manage the army and dismount to manage the people at the moment, so he is wearing a military uniform in this White Tiger Festival Hall, he is holding the handsome case with both hands, and his heart is also ups and downs, Lin Pengyu didn't expect that there would be today, why wouldn't he? Two years ago, when he was lying on the straw pile in the Ding family's compound, his ambition was only to have three acres of thin fields, a tiled house, marry a mother-in-law, and wait for his mother to live in peace, and his brother who was a pig was at a loss for the question of which was more delicious to sleep with a woman or eat fatty meat, who would have thought that two years later, the pig who only knew that fat meat was fragrant became the young gang leader of the Bianhe Gang, and he had such a handsome and clever big girl with sleeves, and he ...... actually built a festival and became a candidate?
The strangeness of life's circumstances is really unpredictable, and this is where the charm of life lies.
He said with emotion: "Ben Shuai Ben Bazhou is a cloth cloth, killed by traitors, fled with his life, joined the army, and was born and died several times. I still remember my mother dying of a sudden illness due to my involvement...... When I was going to bury my mother on Jiming Mountain, my mother didn't even have a coffin......"
There were tears in his eyes, recalling the piercing pain in his heart at the beginning, and said: "When Yang left, he swore to the heavens that this time he left, he must break into the world and make a contribution, at that time...... I'll go back to Bazhou and bury her old man's beautiful ......."
He smiled faintly and said: "At that time, Yang Mou was young and crazy, and he made a grand oath that in ......the future, he would repair tombs, tombs, and mausoleums, and build tombs, and he would build as much grave as his mother wanted!" Now that I think about it, it is just a wild talk under the anger, at that time, Yang had no long things and a humble status, how could he not predict the prophet, and he had today's status, and he couldn't think of it...... Mother is blessed by the spirit of heaven, and today she has really become a feudal official......"
He took a long breath and said: "Now Luzhou has been upgraded to a festival, both to eat the imperial court, for a side of the shepherd, should protect the territory and the people, serve the country, Yinzhou is now occupied by the Khitan rebel King Qing, and my Luzhou is close at hand, if he is allowed to stand firm, drive south, my Luzhou is in danger, is to open the mansion to build a festival, the first major thing, is to discuss the alliance with the two feudal domains of Fulin, first eradicate the enemy of Yinzhou, with Luzhou, Yinzhou, Lian Zonghengshan a vein, to be a veritable Hengshan Jiedu envoy. ”
The civil and military forces listened to a commotion, and they were all overjoyed, and the marshal was going to expand his power under the banner of opening up territory and protecting the territory and the people for the Great Song Dynasty. Now that the festival marshal has become a party and they have all become officials, how big is the territory they actually control? It's just a place in Luzhou, which is closed in the four mountains, only by expanding the field and expanding the territory, their power will become bigger and bigger, and in this place, only by establishing military merits can they ensure that they don't have a bright future.
Yang Hao said again: "When Yinzhou is pacified, Ben Shuai will raise the grave and move the bones for his mother, and move the tomb of his mother to Luzhou. ”
Zhong Wenwu was even more overjoyed when he heard this, and moved his mother's tomb to Luzhou? The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty is also a liuguan, and if the emperor wants to transfer you away, you have to leave, and if you take office as an official, your family can certainly be brought, but there is no reason to move the ancestral tomb too. Yang Hao wants to move the grave here, isn't it obvious enough to express his heart? He came with an edict, but he would not leave again, he wanted to take Luzhou as his home, and take it as the ancestral land of the Yang family, and he would never think about it again.
But Lin Pengyu was not satisfied, his eyes flashed, and he immediately asked: "The difference between graves is mausoleum, mound, tomb, tomb, and there are still forests." In the remaining four regulations, the tomb is the place where ordinary people are buried, the tomb is the place where the gentry and the giant families are buried, and the mound is where the princes will be buried. The mausoleum ...... is the place where the emperor is buried. The festival marshal is a very popular minister, according to the regulations, the old lady deserves to enjoy the burial, the festival marshal not only intends to move the grave for the old lady, but also asks the festival marshal to ask the court for the title as soon as possible, and is responsible for the internal affairs of Luzhou, and will immediately choose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers as a place for the old lady to live. ”
Yang Hao said: "How can I work Lin Lao, this handsome will choose the time to go to Bazhou to dig the grave for his mother, as for after moving to Luzhou......
His eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "After the remains of my mother are moved back, the bones will be temporarily stored in Kaibao Temple, as for the regulations for building tombs or something, let's discuss it later." ”
When the court envoy, according to the rules, the mother of the birth can ask for a decree, this is glory, what else is there to discuss? Lin Yuyu has already made it clear that he wants to build a tomb, and he still shirks it, and he does not agree to ask the court for a seal, so what kind of tomb does he want to build for the old lady?
When all the officials heard the meaning of his words, they were all overjoyed, but Lin Pengyu, Qin Jiang, Lu Yuxuan, Xi Chuyun and other civil officials reacted first, and they had already rushed forward to stop it: "The status of the festival marshal is precious, and he is tied to the sentient beings of Luzhou, how can he be in danger lightly, the lowly officials can do it for him, and the festival marshal must not go in person." ”
Yang Hao is an important minister of the Song Kingdom, he wants to build a grave for his mother in the Song Dynasty, what is the danger? With this sentence, the heart of Luzhou's civil and military affairs has been revealed, but this hall is full of henchmen, not even an official who was originally born in the imperial court, and he is not afraid of occasional appearances.
Yang Hao said: "The grave naturally has to be next to the son and nephew, who else can go if I don't go?" Rest assured, this commander will not act rashly, and this matter must be carefully planned before acting......"
As soon as he said this, someone suddenly said in a deep voice at the door of the hall: "No matter how thoughtful you are, you always have to take risks, the festival marshal is the fundamental place of Luzhou, you can't leave lightly, outsiders can't do it for you, but I can." ”
Wenwu flashed on both sides and looked at the door, Yang Hao also raised his head, his face full of surprise. I saw two people appear at the door, both dressed in filial piety clothes, and the one standing was slim, like a cold plum in the snow, beautiful and vulgar, it was his sister Ding Yuluo, and the one sitting on the four-wheeled wooden chair in front of her was Ding Chengzong, who had not appeared for a long time.
The news sent back by Ding Yuluo that day was in line with Yang Hao's prediction, Wei Wang Dezhao had just joined the army, and he did not have a set of his team in the army, so he couldn't command those arrogant soldiers at all, so Yang Hao didn't need to do anything, just continue westward. At that time, he was fighting with Gongsun Qing and Wang Baocai, and Ding Yuluo would be the most dangerous if he stayed by his side, so he wanted her to rush back to Luzhou alone, but he happened to think of an important matter, so he asked Ding Yuluo to go to Bianliang first, and then return to Luzhou after arranging that incident. Yang Hao didn't see Yuluo after he arrived in Luzhou, and thought that she hadn't come back yet, but he didn't expect her to ride back and forth alone, fast as the wind, not only ahead of him, but also appeared at the same time as Ding Chengzong.
Ding Yuluo pushed Ding Chengzong's wheelchair to the hall step by step, Ding Chengye sat in the chair, holding a stone box in his arms, and said solemnly: "Filial son Chengzong and filial daughter Yuluo inherited the ancient rites, and they have taken out of their mother's remains and moved to Luzhou. ”
Ding Yuluo looked at Yang Hao and said in a low voice: "Second brother, what is in the arms of the eldest brother is the remains of my mother. ”
Yang Hao flashed away from the handsome case, hurriedly greeted him, he walked in front of Ding Chengzong, looked at the stone box held by Ding Chengzong's hands stupidly, thinking of the ill-fated bitter woman, suddenly knelt down on his knees, took the stone box with both hands, and walked out of the flower hall with tears in his eyes......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Yang Hao looked at Ding Zongcheng quietly.
Ding Chengzong and his appearance have changed too much from the original, and they are already judged to be two people.
The original Ding Chengzong, spirited, very majestic, the most father of the wind, the whole family is a little afraid of him, as a young head of the family, the eldest brother of the Ding family, he bears too many and too heavy responsibilities, but he has also developed a calm and dignified character that is different from others.
When Ding Chengzong, who had been in a conspiracy coma for hundreds of days, woke up again, although his majesty was still the same, his cheeks were loose and his face was pale, like a sick man who fell down with a push, and now Ding Chengzong's body has gradually regained his strength, although his legs are broken and he can only sit in a wheelchair, but his waist is still straight and straight, which is not to be underestimated. It's just that he has aged a lot, just in his early thirties, his temples already have jagged white hair, and his appearance is still resolute, but he still shows some wrinkles that have been through the cang.
For Ding Chengzong, Luzhou Wenwu is happy to see him and Yang Hao eliminate mustard and recognize each other as brothers. Ding Chengzong in Luzhou these days, has fully demonstrated his strategic intelligence, Luzhou is lacking such a strategist-level figure, at the same time, he has worshiped under the Dacuo Living Buddha, is the Dacuo Living Buddha extremely favored disciple, although Yang Hao and the Dacuo Living Buddha have concluded an alliance, but if there is such a person around Dacuo, it will undoubtedly be more conducive to the development of the relationship between the two aspects.
In addition, it is related to Yang Hao's life experience. Ding Chengzong is the son of the Ding family, and only he has the right to recognize the identity of the Yang family, set her up as the successor of Ding Tingxun, and recognize her as the head mother of the Ding family, which is of great significance to Yang Kehao.
Gangjin Gongbao's reincarnated spiritual body of the Guardian King, the envoy of the Hengshan Festival, and the imperial lieutenant, if he is the illegitimate son of a servant girl, this will be a fatal wound for him, once the news spreads, it will be difficult to gain the respect of the wealthy families and children of the Northwest family, and will be used by the enemy to question his identity. From ancient times to the present, even those who have become emperors have to work hard to associate their ancestors with a certain famous sage in ancient times, not to mention that Yang Hao wants to lay a country in the northwest and rule those families who regard themselves very highly, even if his background is not very noble, he must try to improve as much as possible, so Luzhou Wenwu recognized their brothers is a strong contribution.
Several of Yang Hao's wives are also staunch supporters, and Ding Chengzong's uncomplaining and unrepentant dedication to Yang Hao is in their eyes. Especially they get along very well with the little sister of the Ding family, Yuluo, such a pitiful and lovely child, how can Dong'er and Yanyan endure the disharmony of the Yang Hao brothers, which makes Ding Xiaomei embarrassed, and washes her face with tears every day.
In fact, for Yang Hao, even if there was no Lin Pengyu and others begging for pleading, Luo Dong'er and other wives blowing the wind on the pillow, the trace of resentment in his heart had quietly dissipated. There are a lot of things in the world, Yang Hao has a deep understanding, standing in Ding Chengzong's position, no one can do better than him. Now he flatters the Yang family as his father's continuation of the main room, and personally goes to the grave for her as a filial son, in that era when both background and identity are valued, the eldest young master of the Ding family has done this, who has any reason to continue to blame him?
Yang Hao looked at him in surprise, and finally couldn't help asking, "You...... Monks? ”
Ding Chengzong smiled faintly and said, "I have worshiped the Living Buddha of Dacuo as my guru and practiced Buddhism with the Living Buddha, and then ...... The fate of the earth is not over, so he has not been officially ordained, and now he is only a yogi (a layman of Esoteric Buddhism). ”
Yang Hao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Yuluo...... Already told you about his background? ”
Ding Chengzong nodded lightly: "I didn't expect that it was because of this reason, Yan Jiu was really able to endure it, and it was really ......."
Ding Chengzong said, thinking that his family was framed by Yan Jiu so miserably, he couldn't help but burst into tears, Yang Hao's heart was sour, and he couldn't help but say: "Big brother, the past is over, it's useless to think about it." ”
Ding Chengzong's body was shocked, he raised his head suddenly, looked at him in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... Are you finally willing to call me big brother? ”
Yang Hao's eyes were also full of tears: "Big brother, you and I are both victims of other people's conspiracy, a little mustard, we should have let go a long time ago, in fact, I have already recognized you as my brother, my eldest brother." ”
Ding Chengzong said suspiciously: "Already? ”
"Yes, when you faint and you don't wake up, I will go and say goodbye to you, then...... I've already recognized my brother. ”
"But ......"
"But...... Brothers are going to be upset, aren't they? ”
"Yes, of course."
Ding Chengzong clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, and two lines of tears flowed down, but this time they were tears of joy.
calmed down his excitement, Ding Chengzong said happily: "Second brother, the eldest brother came back this time, in addition to bringing his mother's remains, he also brought you a distinguished guest, this person is very important to your great cause, because this person's identity is too secret, even if it is an official in Luzhou, all the confidants cannot let it know, so I didn't take him to meet you in the festival hall." ”
Yang Hao said movingly: "Who is so important? ”
Ding Chengzong didn't answer, but looked back and called to the door: "Yuluo." ”
Ding Yuluo suddenly appeared and said in surprise: "Big brother, second brother, have you finally released your old suspicions?" ”
Ding Chengzong nodded lightly, but Yang Hao said: "Little sister, in our family, the most bitter person in our heart is you, the second brother is really ...... It's hard for you. ”
Ding Yuluo cried with joy, her jade cheeks were shining with tears, she gently wiped her tears with the back of her palm, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, as long as our family can release the previous suspicions, it is the greatest joy in Yuluo's heart, for this reason, no matter how much hardship I endure, I am willing." ”
Ding Chengzong smiled and asked, "Have all the idle people been sent out?" ”
Ding Yuluo said: "Yes, there is no one else in this courtyard except me." ”
Ding Chengzong bowed his head and said, "Okay, you quickly bring that person in." ”
Ding Yuluo agreed, and then flashed away, Yang Hao had already hung his appetite, and he was too curious in his heart, not knowing what unexpected gifts Ding Chengzong would bring in addition to bringing back his mother's remains.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and Ding Yuluo flashed into the door and said, "Big brother, second brother, that distinguished guest has arrived." She looked back and wanted to call the man in, but the man did not wait for the call, and had already strode into the flower hall on his own.
The man had leopard-eyed eyes, full of fierce wildness, the top of his head was shaved bare, shining in the sun, but the hair around him was braided into small braids and hung down, a square face, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, a beard that was from under the jaw to the temples, and the beard was curly like a beard, such a big man, and two ears were decorated with a pair of big golden earrings.
In the weather in July, the robe that this person wore was still a fur coat, but the cuffs of the robe were decorated with snow-white wolf hair, showing his noble status, and a huge scimitar hung on his wide belt, which looked murderous and extremely rough.
When Yang Hao saw it, he jumped up, he was wearing a drape, he reached out to touch the sword, and his thumb had already touched the button of the sword spring, only to find that this person was the eldest son of Li Guangrui, the first powerful feudal domain in the northwest, the envoy of the Dingyan Army, and Li Jiyun, the commander of the Great Song Dynasty Qinfeng, and the secretary of the Ministry of Inspection and Engineering, were only seven points similar, not exactly the same, and couldn't help but hesitate: "Who are you?" ”
As soon as the man came in, a pair of leopard eyes looked him up and down, and at this time, his eyebrows were raised, and he also asked, "You are Mrs. Yang?" ”
