Volume 1 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier 122 The Old Lady's Decision
After the matter was taken care of for the time being, Dai's mother calmly said to Qiu Yizhi: "Thank you for this son's rescue, the old man has thanked him for this." I don't know where the son came from? Aren't you afraid of this group of minions of the Persuasion Division? β
Qiu Yizhi originally thought of a whole set of rhetoric, wanting to trick Dai Luanxiang's family into going out of Beijing first, and then slowly explain to him. But when I think about it, this old lady has extraordinary experience, and I am afraid that the lies made up by this stinky boy out of thin air will not be able to hide from her, and when the time comes, it will be self-defeating to see through it in person.
So Qiu Yizhi simply said: "Don't hide it from the old lady, I am a nobody under the King of Youyan, who was ordered by the prince to come and save the children of Mrs. and Marshal Dai's family out of Beijing!" β
Dai Mu actually didn't expect Qiu Yizhi to find out her identity so simply, she was slightly shocked in her heart, and then regained her composure, and said: "The old man sees that the son is only in his early twenties, how dare he pretend to be a general under the prince of Youyan?" Now that you have offended the Persuasion Division, you are in danger, if nothing happens, please leave quickly, and don't lose your life in vain. This is also for the sake of you! β
Qiu Yizhi heard this, knowing that there was no basis for what he said, so he hurriedly took out the name of his father-in-law Zheng Rong from his arms, held it with both hands very respectfully and handed it to Dai's mother, and said: "This is the name of Prince Youyan, please take a look at the old lady." I also hope that the old lady can make a decision as soon as possible and let me rescue you from Beijing! β
Dai's mother took Zheng Rong's famous post carefully polished with simple ink jade, looked at it for a long time, and said: "This famous post has been seen by fate, and it is indeed the prince's thing." But the dog is working for the imperial court in Henan, and he is the opponent of your prince. Childe kept saying the word 'save'...... I also forgive the old man for being a woman, I don't understand, and I ask my son to give advice. β
Qiu Yizhi said "don't dare", but said: "When the old lady says this, it's just fodder under the fodder!" Although Marshal Dai sincerely served the imperial court, the imperial court did not treat Marshal Dai as its own. The old lady also saw the situation just now. The prince of my family has also suffered losses from the court, and he is afraid that the marshal will be harmed by traitors, so he personally ordered that he be sent to the capital to pick up the old lady and wait out. β
Mother Dai listened, pondered for a moment and said, "The prince's kindness has been appreciated by the old man's body. However, my Dai family has been loyal and good for generations, and has never failed the court, how can the court fail my Dai family? Even if the current emperor is deceived by traitorous ministers for a while, there are still Prince Heluo in the court, Prime Minister Yang Lao, Cao Zhongshu, etc., all of whom are loyal and enlightened people, and they must not let my son be wronged, right? β
Qiu Yizhi knew that Quanshan Si had come to the door, and the current situation was urgent, if he didn't refute this old lady in these three words, I am afraid that he would not be able to take them out of Beijing, and his plan would not be successful.
So he racked his brains, and then said: "The old lady has accepted this insight. However, the old lady is kind to others, how could he have thought that in the court, traitorous ministers have long been in charge and loyal ministers have retreated. Even if he has always had the name of a loyal minister, what he did was probably not the work of a loyal minister! β
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Dai's mother asked.
Qiu Yizhi asked rhetorically: "According to the old lady, is my prince loyal or treacherous?" β
Dai Mu replied without hesitation: "The prince is loyal to the country, and although he is rebelling now, the old man believes that there must be a hidden secret...... Well, the flaws are not hidden, and he can be called a generation of virtuous kings, of course, he is loyal and good! β
"Does the old lady know?" Qiu Yizhi suddenly amplified his voice and said, "In the prison of the Criminal Department that day, who was the person who accused this loyal prince of committing rebellion and even killing the king?" β
Dai's mother was not frightened by Qiu Yizhi's bluff at all, and asked lightly: "Childe, please make it clear, who is so bold?" β
"It's the old prime minister Yang Yuanzhi that the old lady said!"
"What!" Mother Dai finally couldn't keep calm, and almost exclaimed, "Do you say that you are the old minister of the Three Dynasties and the Prime Minister of the Two Dynasties Yang Yuanlao?" Childe, you are still young and have a bright future, but you can't be hearsay and untrustworthy! What kind of person is Prime Minister Yang, how can he talk nonsense? β
When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he bent his knees, knelt down in front of Dai's mother, and said, "The younger generation doesn't dare to hide it anymore." The younger generation is the righteous son of the moth under the prince's knees, named Qiu Yizhi. A few days ago, it was the younger generation who gathered some friends from the rivers and lakes to rescue my father-in-law from the capital. This matter is known to the whole world, how dare the younger generation lie to their faces? β
After that, Qiu Yizhi kowtowed three times and continued: "What the younger generation said is that Elder Yang Yuanzhi came forward to perjudic my father-in-law, which is even more true, and it was my father-in-law who told the younger generation in person!" If the younger generation has half a word false, there is a curse in the dark! β
When Dai's mother heard this, she was shocked again, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Qiu Yizhi up, and said: "It turns out that the son is the righteous son of King Youyan, and his old body and eyes are dizzy, which is really disrespectful. Childe's name, Inuzi also mentioned it in his family letter, saying that Childe is a young hero under the prince's account. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. β
Qiu Yi was busy and humble, and said: "My father-in-law often said that Marshal Dai once went on an expedition with him, and he was a comrade-in-arms. Therefore, Yizhi is vainly calling the prince a righteous father, and the old lady is no different from the grandmother who is below. If the old lady can be trusted, please set off quickly, and hurry out of Beijing while the court has not made any moves! β
Dai's mother listened and pondered. She knew in her heart that the distrust of the Dai family was already evident in the Quanshan Division, and the emperor behind the Quanshan Division. In this case, whether to stay in the capital and pin your hopes on the so-called Zhongliang of the DPRK, or to trust the words of the young man in front of you who has never met before to leave the capital, this matter determines the future of the Dai family's survival. This is really a big matter that should not be hastily decided hastily.
Dai's mother pondered for a long time and asked, "If the old man follows the words of the son, where should my Dai family go?" β
Qiu Yi saw that time was passing rapidly minute by minute, and he was very anxious, so he hurriedly replied: "When I left the capital, I naturally wanted to invite the old lady to go to the prince of Youyan." β
Dai Mu sneered and said, "Childe, this is a joke, how can there be a reason for the family of the commander of our army to go to the commander of the enemy army?" β
Qiu Yizhi was about to open his mouth to answer, but the Quanshan Si Qian, who was tied to the ground, opened the linen bandage stuffed in his mouth with his tongue, and scolded when he opened his mouth: "Okay, you old and immortal old woman, and the son of a swallow thief, you dare to beat the old man and me!" Tell you that even Dai Luanxiang himself is being taken to the capital to be tortured, hurry up and release me! β
Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and several pairs of eyes stared at the Qian Zong in unison.
Mr. Qian was a stupid person, and he thought that several people present were frightened by his words, so he became more and more proud, and said, "What, now I know that I am afraid?" It's not too late! Hurry up and loosen the tie to Lao Tzu, and when the time comes, you will not be able to kill each of you, and you will be inexhaustible. β
Qiu Yizhi also wanted to get some information out of the mouth of this Qian Zong, but Dai Luanxiang's son Dai Song on the side had already been unable to bear it, holding a whistle stick, raising his head high and hitting the head of the Qian Zong. After such a blow, Mr. Qian didn't know what to whimper in his mouth, and as soon as his head was deviated, he collapsed to the ground, only breathing out of his mouth, not intake, and he was already dead.
Seeing this, Dai Luanxiang's daughter Yinping hurriedly complained: "Dai Song, why are you so reckless and causing people to die like this, but it's a big deal!" β
"What's bad! Very good! It's the eagle dog that fights this persuasion of the good division! Dai's mother, who was on crutches, praised loudly, and said to Qiu Yizhi, "The old body has made a decision, so I will go out of the city with my son, take a trip to Youyan Road, and ask my son to lead the way!" β
Qiu Yizhi was overjoyed when he heard this, but he tried his best to restrain his excitement and asked Dai's mother: "Right now, the persuasion of people in your mansion has been subdued by us, and the news can't leak out for a while. The so-called sharpening of the knife does not mistake the woodcutter, the old lady can make some more preparations, and it is not too late to act. β
Dai's mother waved her hand nonchalantly and said, "It's all something outside the body, what is there to prepare?" Dai Song, you go and lead the horse out, bring some gold and silver casually, and grandma will lead you out to see the world! β
Although Dai Song was a little quick-tempered, he was also a perceptive person, and he had already guessed his grandmother's thoughts, so he gave a military salute to Dai Song, and turned to leave.
Dai Mu nodded, and said to Qiu Yi: "Childe, please stay here for a while." The old body, and my good granddaughter will go back to change clothes first, and then go back. With that, they all turned and went into the house.
The Dai family is a family of generals, and has always been a military rule of law, and the most vigorous and resolute is the most important. But after a while, Dai's mother walked out with Miss Yinping after changing clothes.
Qiu Yizhi saw that Miss Yinping had changed out of her long skirt and wore a short and energetic suit, and she looked more heroic and compelling. Dai's mother also changed into a neat uniform, quite like the style of her youth, but she did not forget to wear a phoenix crown on her head, decorated with nineteen thumb-sized eastern pearls on the top, trembling and shaking.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "The old lady just said that gold and silver are things outside the body, but after all, I can't bear this priceless phoenix crown!" β
Dai's mother frowned and said, "Childe is still young and doesn't understand the rules here." This is the pomp given by the first emperor to the old body. I think that when my lord was still a fourth-grade military attachΓ©, the old body had a first-class fate, if the old body was in a hurry, even this phoenix crown was lost, it would make the little people laugh! β
Qiu Yizhi heard Dai's mother's tone very serious, and she didn't dare to laugh anymore, and apologized repeatedly: "This is the presumptuous of the younger generation, and I hope that the old lady will forgive the sin." β
While he was talking, Dai Song had already carried a small burden and led three horses to the front of the hall. Seeing that Dai Mu was about to stop, she ordered a few people to get on the horse, and did not care about the soldiers who persuaded the good division, and went all the way to the gate of Dai's mansion.
Out of Dai's mansion, Qiu Yizhi bowed to Dai's mother and went to lead the horse.
When Qiu Yizhi turned around and came back, he saw Dai's mother looking at the wide lintel of Dai's mansion with her eyes, as if she wanted to take away all the grass and trees in this mansion in her heart, and she couldn't leave her eyes for a long time.
Qiu Yizhi saw that Dai's mother seemed to be a little sad, so she immediately stepped forward and said: "The old lady is just leaving your mansion for the time being, sooner or later he will come back." At that time, my father-in-law will have his own reward, and maybe the courtyard of the Dai family will be more than three times larger than the current one! In a few moments, presumably the great-grandson of the old lady has also been born, and he will be able to enjoy the joy of family in it! β
Dai's mother was flattered by Qiu Yizhi, and her heart finally got better, and said: "That old body will inherit the son's good words." It's just that now where I'm going, I still hope for the advice of my son. β
"How dare the juniors?" Qiu Yizhi said, "I see that this place is very close to the Ximing Gate, can you go out of the city from the Ximing Gate first, and stay away from this place?" But he didn't dare to mention that he made a big fuss about building a spring gate.
Mother Dai listened, pondered a little, and said, "This is exactly what the old man wants." With that, he took the lead and walked quickly in the direction of Ximing Gate.
