Chapter 103: The Father and Son of Taiyuan Mansion
Not all righteous sons care so much about their stepfathers and mothers, and they don't have so many words.
A group of soldiers and horses galloped outside Taiyuan Mansion, and when they saw the banner of the scout, the camp of the soldiers in front of them was not blocked.
"General Flying Tiger." One of the generals jumped off his horse, rushed into a tent, and bowed down to the generals inside.
Behind the general there are two flags, one is the imperial flag of Ankang Mountain, and the other is his own handsome flag, and the flag has a tiger head and the word peace.
The general was in his forties, with a dark complexion and a strong tiger, and at this time he sat cross-legged and tore roast sheep, his hands and face full of oil.
Although Ankang Mountain is only ten years older than him, he does not want gold and silver women when he is rewarded for meritorious deeds, and only asks Ankang Mountain to accept himself as a righteous son.
Ankang Mountain accepted him as a righteous son, gave him a tiger head flag, and rewarded the title of Flying Tiger General, so his soldiers and horses also became the Flying Tiger Army.
He didn't raise his head and asked, "What did King Zheng say?" ”
The general said in a low voice: "King Zheng said that His Majesty is just infected with wind and cold....."
Before the general's words were finished, a noise sounded outside, accompanied by the guards' shouts "Please wait a moment for General Xiaocheng" and "Wait for us to report" and an impatient voice "What to report, I see my brother to report something." ”
Pingxi waved his hand to the general, and the general hurriedly got up, and as soon as he stood up, the tent was opened, and a young general walked in with the wind.
"Brother Xi'er." He said loudly, "Are you going to see your father?" ”
This is another righteous son of Ankang Mountain, Cheng En, is the nephew of the general Chengqing, after the death of his father, the mother and son were mostly taken care of by Ankang Mountain, and he recognized the righteous son.
Although he is old enough to be Pingxi's son, because he recognized his father-in-law early and ranked his seniority, Pingxi could only call him a brother.
Because of the support of Ankang Mountain and Chengqing, Cheng En has always been flying and domineering in the army.
Pingxi continued to tear the mutton and said, "My father ordered me to guard the outside of Taiyuan Mansion, and I must not leave without an order, I dare not disobey the holy decree." ”
Cheng En glanced at the general standing aside, sat down in armor, took out a knife to cut the mutton, and said, "I'm not afraid, I've been to see it." ”
Pingxi glanced at him: "Your filial piety is really commendable, my father is just infected with the wind and cold..."
Cheng En took a bite of mutton and munched, "What, my father is crazy and confused, I almost can't enter the palace, thanks to the queen's maid who brought me in." ”
He said it easily and vaguely, and Pingxi's heart jumped and stood up.
"What?" He said, "Foolish and crazy? ”
Cheng En raised his head and looked at him: "Brother, you keep quiet, this is a secret." ”
Pingxi watched his expression change, and waved his hand at the general, who withdrew.
"Brother Chengen." He sat down, "Is this really fake?" Don't talk nonsense. ”
He spoke closely, but the hand around his waist clenched his sleeve and hid his weapon, not to kill Seung-eun, but to prevent him from being killed by Pyong-eun.
In this world, brothers are not reliable, let alone their righteous sons.
Cheng En finished eating the mutton in two bites, rubbed the knife in his hand on the table, and said, "What am I talking nonsense, my father is not in good health, and we haven't all licked his boils." ”
Pingxi said: "So it's a boil again?" ”
Cheng En pressed and whispered: "The whole body is all over it, it's rotten." ”
Pingxi gasped and leaned back: "Then, what did the imperial doctor say....."
Cheng En lowered his head and cut a piece of mutton: "The imperial doctor has no choice, he has all cut off his head." ”
Ping Xi clenched the knife in his sleeve, his chest rose and fell violently, although he had already guessed that the situation was not good, but he really heard it, and his ears were buzzing in disbelief: "King Zheng said that it was just a cold wind.... Why don't you edict us to see Your Majesty....."
Cheng En said: "Pingxi, you are stupid, if King Zheng doesn't say that Feng Han is cold, does he want to say that His Majesty is crazy?" Isn't this time going to cause chaos? What are we doing when we see Your Majesty? Will you heal? ”
He thrust the knife in his hand into the mutton, and then squeaked and slashed the leg of the lamb.
I don't know if it's the sound of the knife or the aroma of the leg of mutton that made Pingxi come back to his senses, and looked at Chengen's eyes flashing: "At least see if there is anything you can help with, after all, King Zheng is alone, Brother Dezhong, he...."
Cheng En looked at him with a pair of eyes like nails: "Brother Dezhong has a great relationship in western Zhejiang, now Hebei Province is occupied by Wu Ya'er, Shi Chao is curled up to build Anzhou, Shandong is controlled by Zhou Xian, Tian Cheng can only wander around, the only stable thing is western Zhejiang, if Brother Dezhong knows that His Majesty is not good, wouldn't he be distracted?" If there is a mistake in the southeast, isn't this the disloyalty and unfilial piety of Brother Dezhong? ”
Hei Xi understood, oh sound.
"Yes." He looked at the mutton on the table, "Your Majesty has King Zheng by your side." ”
Cheng En showed a smiling face, cut off a piece of mutton with a knife and handed it to him: "Yes, there is King Zheng, the court is operating normally, what we have to do is to be loyal to Your Majesty, you guard Taiyuan Mansion, and I will rob and kill the thief emperor and his party." ”
Pingxi nodded: "Yes, yes, I will definitely guard Taiyuan Mansion, if the Wu Ya'er thief couple dares to come again, I will make them come and go!" ”
He tossed the lamb into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
Cheng En took back the knife and stood up: "With Ping Xi you outside, King Zheng is relieved, and I am also relieved, King Zheng was originally afraid that you would be distracted and didn't want to tell you, but I think it's better to tell you, know what's going on, so that you can do things with more peace of mind." ”
Pingxi gave him his hand with a sincere expression: "Thank you, brother." ”
Cheng En smiled at him: "Brother is polite. ”
He threw the knife in his hand, wiped his clothes, and turned to leave.
Heiki sat in the tent and seemed to hear the sound of the galloping hooves of thousands of horses outside, and the previous generals rushed in.
"General, General Xiao Cheng, is he going to encircle and suppress us?" He asked in a low voice.
Pingxi spit out the mutton in his mouth and said, "He doesn't need to encircle and suppress you, he only needs to kill me." ”
said that it was his Flying Tiger Army, he died, of course the Flying Tiger Army wanted to find another master, would they still observe the festival for him as a dead man?
"What the hell is going on?" The general asked uneasily, "King Zheng has a very good attitude towards me...."
Pingxi tore off a piece of mutton and threw it at him: "Are you stupid?" Your Majesty has a good attitude towards everyone, shouldn't you kill it the same way? ”
The official let the mutton smash on his body, picked it up and put it in his mouth to eat: "Thank you for the general's advice." ”
Heiki let go of the knife in his sleeve, and through the sleeve, the handle of the knife was also stained with sweat.
"It looks like a new emperor is coming." He muttered in a low voice, looking southeast, "What will Prince Dezhong do?" ”
Of course, the father is the emperor, and the son has no opinion, but if his brothers are the emperor, then the other brothers are not so easily convinced.
It's just that the prince of Dezhong is far away in the southeast, and when he knows the news, it will be too late, and he will either bow down to his subordinates, or he will be unsuspecting by King Zheng in advance.....
The general also knew about it at this time, and was a little surprised: "Chengqing is a person from the son of Dezhong, and this Chengen actually took refuge in King Zheng." ”
Ping Xi snorted: "Would you rather be the emperor's important minister, or be a nephew behind your uncle forever?" ”
Of course, whoever has it is better to have it than to have it, the general reached out and knocked on his head twice, he was frightened by the sudden news: "General, then we..."
Pingxi stuck a knife into the mutton and cut off a piece: "We? Of course, we listen to whoever is the emperor. ”
......
......
There is no palace and no palace in Taiyuan Mansion, and Ankang Mountain will collect all the places where the palace is located as the palace, and the continuous mansion looks not small.
King Zheng's father also requisitioned a piece of land for the palace himself.
However, during this period, he basically never went to his palace, and only lived in the "palace".
The palace was used as a front hall to discuss court affairs, and at this time an official was not there, only King Zheng was pacing in the hall alone.
His figure was more and more like An Kangshan, and pacing was very strenuous for him, but he couldn't stop until someone came behind him.
"Xi Xiangye." King Zheng hurriedly greeted him, and before he could speak, he was taken aback, "Xiangye, he, did he beat you?" ”
The prime minister of Ankang Mountain, Xi Yan covered half of his face with his hand, and blood was still oozing out of his hand, and said: "Your Majesty is sick, and I was smashed by a bowl when I persuaded medicine." ”
King Zheng was at a loss: "What should I do?" What to do? Xiangye, please ask the imperial doctor..... Oh, the doctor has been killed, please come to the military doctor...."
Xi Yan put down his hand and waved: "This is a trivial matter, the prince doesn't need to care." He looked at King Zheng, "Have all the arrangements been arranged?" ”
King Zheng nodded: "Pingxi Chengen don't worry, both of them listen to me, the news of my father's illness will not spread, it will not disturb the hearts of the army and the people, and it will be fine for as long as it lasts." ”
Xi Yan frowned: "Lord Wang, our purpose is not to last long. ”
King Zheng looked at him as if he didn't understand.
"There is no impermeable wind in the world, and the son of Dezhong will learn the news sooner or later." Xi Yan said.
King Zheng, who has always been a clever person, stammered: "That, that, that....."
Xi Yan wiped the blood on his face, and the broken wound made the scribe's face hideous: "In order to avoid long nights and dreams, King Zheng has to ascend the throne as soon as possible." ”
King Zheng took a few steps back: "But, but my father is still there..."
Xi Yan stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Then let Your Majesty abdicate, if it continues like this, we will all die, the thief and traitor will fight back, and the general trend that we have easily laid down will be dispersed!" ”
King Zheng grabbed his arm with his backhand, seemingly helpless and firm: "Please teach me, brother." ”
......
......
There seem to be more soldiers and horses galloping on the street, and there doesn't seem to be much, anyway, for the people, there is no difference in the number of soldiers and horses that appear in front of them, and the entire Taiyuan Mansion and the entire Hedong Road are the world of the rebels.
As long as they live honestly, the rebels will do whatever they tell them to do, until the rebels don't let them live.
At least so far, it's not so brutal.
Even for some people, life is not bad.
But today, the days have changed.
"Your Excellency." A merchant stood in front of a checkpoint with a uneasy expression, "Why are you suddenly not allowed to leave the city?" It was all good. ”
The general who was sitting with his legs knocked on his legs under the grass shed in the spring and said lazily: "There are spies, and martial law is coming." ”
The merchant approached him and tried to shove a bag of money through, but the general refused: "No, no one can leave." ”
The merchant sighed, looked at the sky and looked at the truck, "This batch of goods is in a hurry", "The weather is getting warmer and hotter, and I can't store it, so I'm going to lose it"
This kind of complaint has seen a lot for the generals, and they are indifferent, but appreciate it with interest.
The merchant wanted to pull off his beard, but he finally made up his mind to be ruthless, came to the general's side again, and said in a low voice: "I have a shop for my lord." ”
The general is not interested in the shop: "I don't know how to do business, what kind of shop do I want." ”
The merchant said: "It's not a shop, it's a store where the shelves are full of money and give it to adults." ”
Fill a shop with money, then it's not so little that the money that is sent regularly during the New Year's holidays, the general stopped beating his feet, and hesitated: "The military life is difficult, let go of one person, I am going to be killed, and I have to spend my life after I collect the money....."
The merchant's eyes lit up and said, "My lord, I'm not leaving, I'm just going to pick up the goods, and I'll come back after pulling the goods." ”
Is that so? The generals looked at him.
The merchant immediately added, "Your Excellency, let the soldiers and horses escort me there, and I promise to tell the truth." ”
The general stood up: "I'll escort you there." ”
The merchant stroked his palm and smiled: "That's better, I'm safer with adults here." ”
The general took the soldiers and horses and followed the merchant group for a long time, and came to a remote and deserted town.
The general pouted when he saw the goods hidden in a dilapidated room, knowing that the goods and the merchants who delivered them had come from the Guards' territory.
This is not unusual, where there is a business, merchants go to do it, and they don't care whether the rebels or the guards are in order to make money.
A cart of goods was loaded, and the generals also asked the soldiers and horses to check it, including cloth, silk, gold, silver, and jewelry, and the soldiers stuffed a few handfuls into their arms while checking, and the merchants and generals pretended not to see it, and the goods were quickly loaded.
"My lord, we can go back." The merchant said happily.
The general glanced at the several delivery merchants standing here: "They also want to take it away." ”
The delivery merchants immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, touched their bodies and took out treasures to give, and said that they would let their families send more gifts.
The general accepted it calmly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not arresting you, you all go to live here for a while, and when the military order is lifted, you will leave." ”
In this way, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, several delivery merchants stopped pleading, thanked them again and again, got into the car, and followed the generals and horses to Taiyuan Mansion......
The dilapidated town is lifeless again, and the night is overshadowed by birds and insects, chirping and chirping.
A little light lit up in the previous house, and the two of them fumbled around on the empty ground, quickly digging out a small note from under the wall bricks.
"Found it." They whispered, blowing out the lights, "Let's go." ”
......
......
The sun is shining on the earth, and the streets of Taiyuan Mansion are once again full of people, sitting behind the counter with a smile, waiting for the guys to solicit customers.
"Mr. Wei." A fellow slid to his side and whispered, "You can't get out." ”
Wei said: "It's okay, just send the news." ”
The guy looked outside the store and muttered in a low voice, "Madame will call as soon as she learns the news, right?" ”
This place is different from the capital, they are not the same as the original internal responses, those internal responses, but Miss Li has been installed since before the troubled times.
They came here too late, they really wanted to fight, and they couldn't do anything, so they could only be pulled out by the rebels to be the corpses of the city walls.
The guy couldn't help but sigh, he wasn't afraid of death, he just felt pity.
"Mr. Wei, you received our news, just watch it outside, you shouldn't come in too."
"This news is very important, and I have to see it with my own eyes to feel at ease." ”
He was afraid of death, but he was not afraid, and he just felt a pity, but it was a pity that he couldn't see King Lu lose the world.
