Chapter 35: The Final Compromise
A sudden downpour had been falling from the second half of the night to the present, and finally stopped, and the dark clouds quickly dispersed, as suddenly as they had come, and the strong sunlight in the sky overhead pierced through the layers of hazy clouds and mist, and hit the city, as if the sky had opened a hole, and became brighter and brighter.
The remaining rainwater on the street, obediently along the drainage ditches on both sides of the slow flow, by the way, also cleaned the original dirty streets, restored the previous clean, the air is filled with a fresh smell, people smell it and yearn for it, even the merchants on both sides saw the sun falling, but also quickly walked out of the house, opened the curtain, ready to open, the entire Qilian City, in less than a few breaths of time, it regained its own vitality.
In the huge city lord's mansion, the people who had been standing under the eaves to hide from the rain also began to go out to clean up the filth washed out by the rain.
Holding a broom and looking up at the sky, the sun is warm and warm, paving the entire courtyard with a layer of golden light.
In the living room, the atmosphere has become more subtle.
If you want to say that Wei Chidun is this person, although he is reckless, but he is still a person who can bend and stretch, and this ability to observe words and colors, there are a lot, I knew that the East Window incident happened, and the big thing was not good, so I quickly knelt down first to admit my mistake, and did not hesitate at all, this is to let Duanmu Shuofeng see that his heart is soft, and then seeing that Duanmu Shuofeng has been biased towards him from the heart for various reasons, his courage will be strong immediately, and even talking to Hu Yanshi will begin to become unpolite, shirk responsibility, and want to make a final decision, and now seeing that the secret has been exposed, Duanmu Shuofeng has become unkind when he sees that his gaze has become unkind, and he can immediately kneel towards Hu Yanshi and beg for mercyγ
In the face of Wei Chidun, who can already be said to be a shameless hob meat, Hu Yanshi was really a little discouraged.
He Hu Yanshi does eat soft and not hard, this eldest son and eldest grandson of the head of the Wei Chi family, needless to say, has a noble status, and is such a big person, and now he kneels in front of him and begs, which really makes him not know how to continue.
Duanmu Shuofeng next to him saw that Hu Yanshi's expression was a little helpless, and seemed to be a little shaken, so he hurriedly helped to play a round together: "General Hu Yan, if you can sell me face this time, you should give him a chance to atone for his sins." β
Although he was annoyed that Wei Chi was not a brain, and he should fart for things that he strictly forbidden, he really didn't want him to have an accident, and he didn't want this matter to make a big fuss.
As soon as Wei Chidun heard that Duanmu Shuofeng had spoken, he hurriedly cried and wailed beside him and begged for the other party's forgiveness.
Hu Yanshi had a gloomy face, he was finally not deceived by the other party's attack, and said coldly: "My brother is still lying in bed and I don't know if he lives or dies, even if he wakes up, he will become a waste, you want me to give him a chance, then who will give my brother a chance?"
Duanmu Shuofeng looked tired and asked, "Then how can General Huyan give up?"
Hu Yanshi grabbed the helmet in his hand, glanced at Wei Chi Dun, who was kneeling on the ground next to him, and said in a deep voice: "I said before, as long as he returns these two knives, he will never take more." β
When Wei Chi Dun next to him heard this, he felt a chill under his crotch, if these two knives stabbed him, it would really be better to kill him directly.
Duanmu Shuofeng couldn't make him return the two knives, and hurriedly persuaded him bitterly: "General Huyan, if this is the case, won't the two of you become a feud, and the involvement will be too big at that time, how can it end?"
When Hu Yanshi heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Then why didn't he think about these problems before he started? Now that my Huyan family is about to die, how can I accommodate him? Could it be that I have to take care of the overall situation, but he can mess around? What is the reason?"
Duanmu Shuofeng's eyes rolled, and after thinking hard for a long time, he finally came up with a compromise idea, and immediately said: " If not, instead of letting the two families fight each other and become a feud, let me defend the country in vain, why don't we give each other a step down, and cultivate the good of the generations, I am willing to be a matchmaker in person, let the Huyan family draw one from the side line, and marry the people of the Wei Chi family, and then the child born to this Wei Chi family, you will personally choose one to inherit to the Huyan family, and then I can ask my father to issue an edict to grant the Huyan family the title of hereditary marquis, general, what do you think?"
The so-called title, in the earliest is actually a supreme reward granted by the emperor to the meritorious heroes, each title represents a real fief, its owner in the fief, has the right to rule second only to the Son of Heaven, from the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the case, which has also led to today, the situation of the nine princes together in the cholera atrium, must be prevented.
So today, most of these titles have become false names, and they are not linked to real power, although they seem to have a high status, but they have also become idlers in the court.
According to the level of the title, it is divided into five kinds of princes and uncles, like the Zhuguo Duke of the Xu family of Liangguo, which is the first-class duke, whose status is high and the weight of the power can be seen from the power of the Xu family today, but the position of the duke, who has made great contributions can not be obtained, and the position of the Zhuguo Duke of the Xu family is also because the ancestor of the Xu family fought in the south and the north, and made the immortal miracle of founding the country.
Originally, the title of this thing was hereditary, which was also the glory earned by their ancestors themselves, and outsiders had nothing to say, but now, the title has been changed by various countries to a generational decline, such as the duke's son, he will be directly reduced to a marquis, and after five generations, he will become a commoner, unless the descendants of later generations have made great contributions, it can be restored, but this hereditary is different, what is the title of the ancestor, and the descendants will be sheltered by it for later generations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the apex of the ministers.
Therefore, some people would rather have a hereditary marquis, rather than a duke who seems to be a glorious one, after all, the benefits that a title can bring are too many, a hereditary marquis is passed on to future generations, so to speak, as long as the country is not destroyed, the Huyan family can quickly become one of the few wealthy families in the country, no matter how much the descendants after them squander, no matter how they do not become a weapon, just the favor of the imperial court, and the money sent every year according to the level of the title, it is inexhaustible.
This gift of reparation is really weighty enough, so heavy that even Hu Yanshi himself is silent.
The reason why he is so angry this time is actually nothing more than two reasons, one is that his younger brother has suffered such a catastrophe, and now he is still lying at home in a coma, I don't know when he will wake up, and the other is that their vein is considered to be the end, the so-called unfilial piety is the greatest, if this news is passed back home, I am afraid that my mother, who has not been alive for a few years, will be angry to death, but he also understands that the Wei Chi family is a top wealthy family that has existed in the defense of the country since the founding of the country, a century-old family, but it is not something that their newly rising Huyan family can easily shake, even if he occupies oneThe word "reason" can be completely unreasonable at that time.
If it really makes a big fuss, it will indeed become out of control, and in the end, most of the people who can't get off the stage are still their Huyan family themselves, because even if they force His Majesty to dispose of Wei Chidun, the Huyan family can't bear the full revenge of the Wei Chi family afterwards, and now that they have given a decent step, he naturally hesitates.
Hu Yanshi is a steady person who takes into account the overall situation, if not, he will not get the trust of His Majesty of the current dynasty, the commander-in-chief Qilian Mountain soldiers and horses, you must know that once the Qilian Mountain defense line is broken, the entire country will fall into the danger of annihilation, this is an affirmation of his ability and character, and he is also a good leader, but if he is short-tempered and can't stand being provoked, he will never be sent here to be a guard.
So from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to completely fall out with the prince Duanmu Shuofeng, if the two of them fell out, this Qilian Mountain defense line would be equivalent to being split in half, and he would be taken advantage of at any time, and now he was given a gift that can definitely be said to be full of sincerity, and he suddenly lost the arrogance he had when he first came.
Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Wei Chidun hurriedly spoke again: "General Huyan, please give me a chance, our two generations of cultivation are good, in the future, my son will be the son of the Huyan family, my daughter, the daughter of the Huyan family, as long as you agree, I will go to your house now to take the blame!"
Hu Yanshi looked at the scoundrel beside him, thought about it again and again, and finally sighed heavily, sat down on the chair next to him, and put the helmet in his hand aside.
-------------------------
The capital of Liangguo, covering an area of the vast Tianbo Street, is in the prince's mansion.
The maid Ning Shuang had a happy face, and all the way from the courtyard of the Tianluo headquarters where the information was sent and received, through the room, and trotted to the room where Gu Cang lived.
"Prince, the news sent back from Qilian Mountain, the matter has been successful!"
Gu Cang was originally sitting on a chair, taking advantage of the rest time to drink the nourishing decoction to nourish the body, and seeing that he had finally regained his former vitality, the maid who stepped on the white socks came in to calm the cream, and his mood suddenly improved.
"It's normal to succeed, if it's not successful, the people over there in Qilian City will have to be replaced. β
Gu Cang commented casually, put down the spoon in his hand, reached out to take the file handed over by the other party, read it carefully, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Very nice. β
Then he commanded earnestly towards the frost: " After Wu Heng comes back, he will inevitably summon them to inquire carefully, you let them answer according to what I said, so as not to arouse Wu Heng's suspicions, after they come, they will have to contact that Hu Yanzhuo, things are hard, and when the country is destroyed, after they come back, I should personally pick up the wind for them, and then they want to live a free life, and if they want to live a free life, they can go to any other yamen, if they want to get married, I Gu Cang, personally say matchmaking for them!"
Being in an enemy country, and doing this kind of unsightly trick to obtain intelligence, but also to be careful to hide the identity, can not be exposed, the hardships that are really not understood by ordinary people, while betraying the hue, on the other hand, and be vigilant not to be found out of their true identity, even if they meet a true person, they dare not put their feelings at will, it can really be described as walking on thin ice, stepping on the air, it is an abyss, broken bones, and even if they come back later, who would want people like them?
Ning Shuang felt something, hung his head, and said in a low voice: "They are all willing, the prince doesn't have to be like this." β
Gu Cang shook his head lightly and said: "We are pampered here, we just need to give orders, but we have to respond immediately, try our best to complete the task, to put it mildly, we just stand and talk without back pain, their hard work, I know, so we must try our best to fight for a good ending for them, otherwise why let others give us their lives?"
Ning Shuang was extremely moved in her heart, just gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and deliberately diverted the topic and asked: "I just don't know why Gongzi insists on keeping Na Yanzhuo's life, if he dies completely, this matter should become irreconcilable." β
Gu Cang smiled slightly, put his hands in front of his knees, and explained to him: " His brother Hu Yanshi is a person who is upright, understands the general situation, and takes the overall situation into account, and Duanmu Shuofeng is also a person who can be ruthless, if Hu Yanzhuo is really dead, no matter whether Hu Yanshi takes the initiative to make concessions in the end, will not be pursued, or will be pursued later, or Duanmu Shuofeng is completely ruthless, and directly abolished Wei Chidun as an atonement, then our plan is equivalent to failure, people die, this relationship will be dispersed, as long as it drags on, after a few months, his anger will naturally drop. β
Ning Shuang was still very puzzled by this: "But in this way, isn't it still the two endings you said in the end, Childe?" or even γγγγγγ β
Gu Cang waved his hand, interrupted what she was about to say, and continued to explain to her: "No, no, no, people don't die, why does he want to hand over his own uncle to make amends? Don't talk about him, Wei Chidun himself will not be willing, in the end, there is a high probability that Duanmu Shuofeng promised what conditions made Hu Yanshi back down, but as soon as he came home and saw the half-dead brother, his guilt would only get heavier and heavier, and what about Hu Yanzhuo? We only need to tease a little at that time, this Hu Yanzhuo will inevitably be used by us for revenge, and for the purpose of curing the disease, it is more convenient to approach Hu Yanshi at the same time, and then there will be great achievements. β
"If a man doesn't have that thing, it's really worse than dead, if he stays alive, his temperament will only become more and more distorted, and his brother compromises, how can he figure it out? After all, he is the one who suffers, who can make a decision for him? But what can he do? Does he dare to go to the city lord's mansion to make trouble? In the long run, this person will definitely have hatred, and when the time comes, he will break through Qilian City, and this person should make contributions to us!"
