6. Choice

In the spring of the second year of Yuanxi (420 AD), Liu Yu forced Sima Dewen Chan to conced, that is, the emperor's throne, the country name of the Great Song Dynasty, and changed the Yuan Yongchu. The Eastern Jin Dynasty perished.

After Liu Yu ascended the throne, he changed the selection system of "no high door for lower grades, no untouched clan for upper grades" for officials in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and gradually took back power from the clan.

Liu Yu reused the cold people and selected talents for the imperial court with the nine-product Zhongzheng system.

Tan Daoji was also promoted to the general of the protector army, and he was a regular attendant of the cavalry to guard the capital. And with the merit of his life, he changed the title of Yongxiu County Gong, and ate 2,000 households.

Tan Daoji has been working step by step over the years, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Today, the new emperor ascended the throne, he entered the palace from the time of Yin to be responsible for the palace guards, until the new emperor went to bed at this time, he rushed back to the palace by moonlight.

Entering the backyard, he stood in front of the lady's room for a while, as usual. Since her daughter's accident, Mrs. only has resentment towards him in her heart, although the two respect each other like guests on weekdays, they still raise their eyebrows, but even outsiders are not difficult to see that there seems to be a cold wall between the two.

Recently, the situation in the DPRK and China has changed, Tan Daoji is busy all day long, and every time he is busy in the DPRK and China until he returns home late at night, his wife has already slept. Counting the days, I haven't seen my wife for ten days in a row.

When I went to the backyard today, I found that the lights were still on in the lady's room.

The maidservant who was waiting for the lady was waiting at the door, and when she saw him coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "The master is back." The lady said, "Invite the master to come into the house for a while." ”

Tan Daoji hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the door into the room.

Mrs. Tan sat on the edge of the bed in the inner room, through the screen, she had no intention of coming out, and she did not open her mouth to invite Tan Daoji in.

Hearing that the maidservant girl withdrew from the room and closed the door with her backhand, she said eagerly, "Today, the new emperor ascends the throne, can you ask for forgiveness for your daughter?" ”

Tan Daoji sighed inaudibly, but did not answer. When the maidservant came, he knew what the lady wanted to ask.

Since he secretly informed his wife of the news of his daughter's death three years ago, she was ecstatic at first, and then she wanted to go to the underground palace to accompany her daughter despite any obstacles.

Mrs. Tan is by no means an unreasonable woman, although she knows that her husband's approach is reasonable, and she can be a mother, but she can't care about anything else, she just wants to take care of her daughter.

Tan Daoji was afraid that his wife's move would be seen by outsiders, so he asked people to seal the backyard and prevent his wife from stepping out of the backyard, putting her under house arrest in disguise.

Since then, Mrs. Tan has been looking forward to it day and night, hoping that Liu Yu can succeed, but she is afraid that she will be more sincere than Liu Yu herself.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he was usually required to be amnesty.

At that time, the daughter will be hopeful! But now...... When she saw Tan Daoji not saying a word, her heart was as cold as sinking into the abyss of ten thousand years.

She staggered out of the inner room, raised her pale and thin hand and grabbed Tan Daoji's court clothes tightly, and asked hatefully, "Why?" What exactly are you for! Is it so reluctant to give up power over you?

She's your daughter! Your blood and bones, how can you bear to let her live in the dungeon! She's ten years old now! She's been in the dungeon for seven whole years! How can you bear it! How do you ......"

Mrs. Tan said, and she was in a hurry, and her body fainted as soon as she became weak.

Tan Daoji hurriedly picked up his wife, put him on the bed in the inner room, and shouted loudly to go to the imperial doctor.

The subordinates outside the door were all shocked when they heard the sound, and hurriedly ran into the house to serve. Tan Daoji scolded angrily, "Bastard thing! How do you usually serve your wife! ”

Everyone present immediately knelt down, but no one dared to answer.

Mrs. was placed under house arrest here, depressed all day, sleepless at night, unable to eat, and in three years, her body had been empty.

She was as thin as a tree, her face was bloodless, and she couldn't even lift the strength to speak on weekdays. But Tan Daoji didn't know about these, he came every day, and asked about his wife's situation every day, and he knew better than anyone else why his wife had become like this.

Tan Daoji's anger was not directed at his subordinates, but at himself.

After a while, the Imperial Doctor arrived. Yi Tan Daoji was in a high position in the court at this time, and the imperial doctor naturally did not dare to slack off.

cut the ginseng slices and put them under Mrs. Tan's tongue, and took out the silver needle and stabbed the person, only to see Mrs. Tan slowly wake up.

She looked at the top of the bed with vacant eyes, and said with difficulty, "All down." ”

The imperial physician and his subordinates looked at Tan Daoji, and when they saw him nodding, they retreated one by one.

"Why?" Mrs. Tan's confused eyes gathered together at this time, and she looked straight at Tan Daoji, not allowing him to perfunctory himself anymore.

Tan Daoji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "For the sake of my Huaxia unification." Today's saint is the king of chaos, and only the emperor can destroy the fierce and cut the violence, and punish the inside and outside. Only the emperor can fulfill my long-cherished wish to recover northern Xinjiang. I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for the rain......"

At this point, Mrs. Tan already knew it in her heart. Her husband, Rong Ma handsome, has an outstanding record, if there is anyone in the world who can attack Hulu in the north, encircle the land and protect the territory, except for him, there is no two.

And this is also his fate, his life's wish. How can such a husband give up the big and the small? Just sigh, Yu'er will be innocent and become a paving stone for great achievements......

"Let's go......," Mrs. Tan said quietly, "You and I are husband and wife, and the love is broken here." I hope that you will treat my son well, even if she will never see the light of day again in this life, I beg you not to treat her badly. ”

After Mrs. Tan finished speaking, she seemed to have exhausted her strength, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Tan Daoji walked out of the door silently, his fists clenched until his bones turned white! He looked up at the sky, and by this time the horizon had begun to whiten, and in another hour he was about to go to the court.

It's been another sleepless night......

The old housekeeper Uncle Tian came out of nowhere, approached Tan Daoji and said, "Master, is Madam okay?" ”

Tan Daoji shook his head lightly and asked rhetorically, "How is the girl?" ”

Uncle Tian said in a low voice with a smile in desperation, "It's still the same." It's so troublesome that Zimo can't get along all day. ”

Hearing that his daughter was still so willful, Tan Daoji felt relieved, and said with a rare smile, "That girl has been so lawless since she was a child." Now they're all ten years old, and they're still the same character. It's really three years old to see the big, six years old to see the old. ”

Uncle Tian also nodded in agreement, "Not really." It's been a shame for the old slave these days. ”

Tan Daoji asked, "Why?" ”

Uncle Tian spread his hands and said, "There's nowhere to find books!" ”

Tan Daoji looked at Uncle Tian in surprise and asked, "She has finished practicing all those martial arts records that you gave you before?" And what about those hidden weapon scores? ”

Uncle Tian replied with a smile, "I'm done practicing." The girl is talented, and any martial arts is a good idea. In fact, the girl would have known it a long time ago, but now every move and style has reached a full ten, and there is really no need to practice, so she forced the old slave to come to ask for a book again. ”

Tan Daoji couldn't help pinching his eyebrows, "That's all the hand-me-down martial arts records of the major clans of Tiannan Mountain."

If you want to learn again, you have to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty...... I heard that there are still some descendants of the Xuanmen over there. Anyway, I'll send someone to find it. And thou shalt give her the book of war in my room.

After all, martial arts are things on the surface, and it always takes her some time to study the military book thoroughly, and it can also collect her domineering temperament. ”

Uncle Tian answered, then turned around and went to the study to move the books.
