284 Take everything back
After coming out of Xia Dongqing's study, Mo Yang and Xia Yuhua didn't stay longer, let alone see Ruan or Cheng Xiao or the like, after all, they came back secretly today, and it was not easy for everyone to know about it, and Xia Dongqing didn't let anyone else in the house know about it, so they were still waiting for their daughter to return to the door early tomorrow morning.
And this time, Xia Dongqing deliberately found his daughter and son-in-law in advance in order to explain some of their things in advance to help deal with them, once he really waited for the emperor to re-seal, he would have to quickly take people out of the capital to the northwest, and naturally he would not be able to come back in a short time.
And now that Zhongyu'er has been married, only Ruan's, Cheng Xiao and the youngest son who has just been born are left, so Xia Dongqing is naturally not at ease. What's more, after he goes to the northwest this time, the DPRK and China will definitely set off a storm on the side, not afraid of 10,000 in case, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some people with a heart to stare at the Xia family.
Therefore, he deliberately called Yuhua and Mo Yang back, and explained all the matters at home in advance, so that they could take care of the family on behalf of the good students, so as not to be inconvenient for a while, but something was missing in a hurry.
Xia Yuhua and Mo Yang naturally responded in one bite, even if their father didn't explain, they would pay attention to these things and take care of everything, after all, Ruan's family was busy with the newborn child and couldn't take care of themselves, and Cheng Xiao was young, so he couldn't rest assured that he would only leave them at home.
On the second day, Mo Yang accompanied Xia Yuhua to officially return to the door with people and gifts, and this time Ruan and Cheng Xiao naturally came out to greet them, and the family sat down happily and said.
Seeing that Mo Yang and Yuhua had such a good relationship, Ruan's was excited. nodded again and again and asked this and that, knowing that everything was smooth and fine in Yuhua's Mo family, and he was even more happy. Cheng Xiaoze's brother-in-law and brother-in-law circled around Mo Yang for a short time, and obviously he also liked Mo Yang very much.
Just as the family was talking and laughing. The housekeeper outside hurriedly went to report, saying that someone had come to the palace, and asked the master to take someone to hurry up to greet him. The butler's words were not too clear. However, Xia Dongqing and the others naturally understood quickly, and they didn't think much about it, so they straightened their clothes a little and took their families to greet them.
There is someone in the palace, this will naturally refer to an ordinary eunuch or someone who runs errands, otherwise the housekeeper will not look so nervous, I think it must be the emperor who came out of the palace with someone in casual clothes and came in person.
And the results turned out to be unexpected. It was no one else who came to the Xia family, it was the emperor who was traveling in casual clothes, and when the group saw this, they naturally wanted to bow down, but they were exempted by the emperor.
The emperor personally stretched out his hand to support Xia Dongqing, who was about to kneel. And it's quite kind so that other people don't have to be so polite, just travel in casual clothes, and don't send someone to notify in advance, so there is no need to be so polite.
Xia Dongqing naturally looked surprised and excited, and after saying a few words to express his gratitude, he hurriedly invited the emperor into the main hall to sit down and serve tea under the reminder of Ruan on the side.
The emperor did not immediately get to the point, but first let the entourage of the servants carry a lot of rewards, congratulating the Xia family on marrying their daughter and the two-year happy event of their young son. The emperor personally came to the door to congratulate him, and this kind of glory was really great in the past, but at this time, everyone present knew what everything was for.
Xia Dongqing naturally thanked him again. However, at this time, as an ordinary person who had already been degraded, he naturally did not dare to show a deserved appearance when he received these many things from the emperor himself.
"The emperor is so gracious, Dongqing is really ashamed, to be honest, he is really worried in his heart." Xia Dongqing thought for a while and said to the emperor: "The emperor also knows that Dongqing is a rough person, and he can't hide his words in his heart. I can say whatever I want, so I have to say a few words in my heart. ”
"If you have something to say, what I like most is your temperament!" The emperor smiled, raised his hand casually, and signaled Xia Dongqing to say whatever he wanted, with a kind look.
Xia Yuhua secretly looked coldly beside him, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he had never seen the emperor treat their Xia family so politely in the past few years, it seems that this is really a request for others, even the emperor can't avoid learning to keep his voice down.
Xia Dongqing saw that the emperor was approved, so he continued: "Your Majesty, Dongqing has always believed that no merit will be punished, and this is also the principle of the usual proclamation for decades, so today I feel ashamed to see the emperor so gracious." Dongqing just wants to know, why did the emperor suddenly come in person, and he was so gracious, if he didn't figure it out, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to figure it out for many days, and he wouldn't be able to sleep well! ”
"Well, you really still have this temper, and you haven't changed at all! Okay, that's what Teng appreciates the most! Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but nod and said, "In this way, I won't hide it from you." Recently, I often think about the past, and I don't know if I am old, but I always remember those things in the past, especially when I think of you, which can be regarded as a thousand feelings in my heart. ”
The emperor paused, looked at Xia Dongqing and continued: "I have always known that you are a loyal and capable minister, and you have also made a prominent contribution to the country and the people, but it is a pity that some incidents occurred for no reason in the past two years, and I am the king of a country, even if I can't bear it, I still have to deal with it according to the law to convince the people." Now that I think about it, I have really wronged Aiqing in the past few years, a generation of heroes and heroes, who should have shown the essence of the most heroic on the battlefield, but they were born to be subjugated here! I often feel sad in my heart, but I also feel ashamed of Aiqing! ”
"Your Majesty, don't say that, Dongqing is really ashamed!" Xia Dongqing hurriedly said: "Dongqing is already grateful to be so concerned by the emperor, how dare you let the emperor be anxious because of me, it really makes Dongqing embarrassed!" ”
Everyone can hear the emperor's words, this is a slightly apologetic foreshadowing of what he has done before, in order to lay the foundation for the things to come, perhaps in the emperor's heart, in his own opinion, it is indeed a very big concession, the biggest kind of grace of the Son of Heaven's mind.
However, in the eyes of Xia Dongqing, Xia Yuhua and others, this kind of falsehood is too deliberate, and they also know that the emperor will not be polite for a long time to get straight to the topic. Today is the time for the Xia family to scoop everything back!
Sure enough, after saying a few words that sounded quite regrettable, the emperor really opened his mouth to talk about the urgent matter on the northwest border, and said that if Xia Dongqing was there, those people in Xishu naturally did not dare to be so arrogant, betray the original agreement, and invade on a large scale. The words are quite sentimental, but at the same time there is unspeakable worry.
And this time, hearing all this, Xia Dongqing stopped speaking, seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to say clearly: "Aiqing, now is the time of national crisis, I think about it, only you can calm the turmoil in the northwest, so after discussing with the hundreds of officials in the court, I hope to restore the title of General Wang of Aiqing, let you regain the power of the army, and lead the 200,000 troops in the northwest to stabilize the northwest!" ”
"Your Majesty, the grass people know that the emperor has a heart, and they are willing to give the grass people another chance to display their ambitions, but there are many talents in the DPRK and China, and it is not necessary for the grass people. If the emperor reactivates the grass people, it will inevitably fall into the mouth of the tongue and leave people to speak, so the grass people don't want the emperor to make such a big sacrifice for this. ”
Xia Dongqing naturally declined politely, and even claimed that he had replaced the previous one with the grass people, as if he was unwilling to accept the emperor's arrangement: "Moreover, the grass people now have a new young son, but they enjoy this family happiness very much." Those who have been fighting in the east and west all these years have not been with their families well, but now they are extremely satisfied with their current life. Please also ask the emperor to love and choose a more suitable candidate to serve the northwest of Liwei to meet the small wishes of the grass people. ”
This remark is reasonable, but the emperor didn't expect that he would come to the door in person to invite him and be rejected by Xia Dongqing in person, but after thinking about it, he had no other way, so he had to persuade him again.
So back and forth several times, the emperor was also patient, kind words and a look of asking for a re-exit from the mountain, showing full of sincerity, and in the end, seeing that it was really impossible to push it off, Xia Dongqing finally responded to the big husband who was for the country and the people and for the king, so he had to give up his small family and take care of the overall situation first.
In this way, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately read out the holy decree that had been prepared on the spot to the eunuchs, not only restoring Xia Dongqing's title of the original general king, but also ordering him to regain control of the army, and to lead the troops to sit in the northwest on a certain day. and returned all the family properties under the name of the former general's palace and the Xia family one by one. Not only that, but in order to show Long's grace, he also gave Xia Yuhua the title of the county lord, and rewarded him with a number of rewards for his equal status, in order to show his praise for Xia Dongqing.
For a while, Xia Dongqingguan was reinstated and reinstated in military power, and was able to reuse, and the news of the Xia family's rise again spread like a wind, and many people were full of sighs about the ups and downs of the Xia family. However, more people were obviously happy with the Xia Xia Dongqing and the Yun Xia family, and at the same time, they were even more relieved about the situation in the northwest.
Even the most ordinary people know that as long as the general Wang returns to the horse, those children in Xishu will naturally be defeated, and their lives will continue to be safe and stable.
Because the situation in the northwest is very critical, so five days later, Xia Dongqing led the troops to the northwest and commanded 200,000 troops to fight against Xishu, and at the same time, the court did not subside because of this, on the contrary, a new storm gradually floated, and no one knew whether they would be involved in this undercurrent, nor did they know what this undercurrent would eventually become into.
