In the autumn, the peasants will soon harvest, and this army will certainly be indispensable for food, let alone the crisis of running out of food.
But their grassland has suffered, the weather is getting colder, many animals are hiding, and they themselves are still cold early, and the grain harvest is very small, and they are really facing the crisis of food shortage.
Thinking of this, the Xiongnu Khan had to send a peace ambassador here, and he did not have the courage to put forward conditions to pay a tribute of 200 fine horses, 500 cattle and sheep each, and then the eldest prince who had been in prison for several months was taken back.
Without the harassment of the Xiongnu, those troublemakers in the south were not a problem, and as soon as the south heard that the Xiongnu had surrendered, they hurriedly fled one by one, not daring to make trouble anymore.
"Hahaha!" The emperor sat in the imperial study, looking at the fold in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his voice was a little happy, and he said to Rong Jin in front of him, "Jin'er, this time I really lost that Chi Hang, if it wasn't for him donating food, we wouldn't have handled this matter so simply!" โ
Without waiting for Rong Jin to speak, the emperor said excitedly, "The Xiongnu surrendered, and the small forces in the south who made trouble were not enough, as soon as they heard that the Xiongnu surrendered, they all abandoned their armor and fled, and these areas that did not belong to us are now all ours." โ
The emperor said, walked to the wall behind him, pointed with his finger, and circled the entire map on the wall, "I have fulfilled all the wishes that the emperor has not fulfilled, and I have recovered the lost land!" โ
"Congratulations to my father, congratulations to my father!" The corners of Rong Jin's mouth couldn't help but hook, he hoped that there would be no war in the world, and everyone could live their own simple life.
"Have they returned to the capital?" The emperor said, raising his eyes slightly to look at Rong Jin.
"I heard from the informant that I will be back in two days." Rong Jin had a faint smile between his eyebrows, and his impression of the Chi family's couple was very good now.
As soon as Rong Jin's words fell, the emperor suddenly seemed to remember something, and his brows furrowed slightly, "By the way, I heard that this Chi Hang did not honor his parents and disobeyed his family. โ
"Erchen also heard about it," Rong Jin lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Chi Hang is not filial to his mother, he was forced by his mother. โ
The emperor looked at Rong Jin suspiciously, sat on the chair next to him, and his brows were even more twisted, they don't want unfilial people in this country.
"That man is also a poor man, since he was a teenager hunting to make money for the family members, five years ago, because of the fall from the mountain hunting, Lang asserted that he would not live long, his mother did not want to drag down the whole family because of him alone, spent money to marry him a wife, and directly divided the family on the same day, only gave them a little rice, no land, and a yard and a thatched house." Rong Jin said, raising his eyes to look at the emperor, and his tone was sincere, "Fortunately, Mrs. Chi rejuvenated and directly cured his illness." โ
Speaking of Mrs. Chi, the emperor suddenly remembered that it was the lady who helped Rong Jin see a doctor some time ago, "The medical skills are so high?" โ
"Father, how many people in the world can heal people who have smallpox!" Rong Jin said with a serious face, "Even the Lu family saved the people of our capital because of Mrs. Chi's guidance, and their pharmacies are very cheap to see a doctor, which is much better than other pharmacies." โ
The emperor touched his beard thoughtfully, it was hard to imagine that such a couple would do such a thing, "Listen to people." โ
"It's just that Chi Hang's mother is a market shrew, and when Mrs. Chi was about to give birth, she directly pushed Mrs. Chi to it, and Mrs. Chi was born prematurely, almost killing three people. After the separation, Chi Hang's mother often looked for trouble, made trouble everywhere, heard anything difficult, and didn't care about their husband and wife at all. Speaking of this, Rong Jin thought of hearing about Chi Hang's matter from others, and felt uncomfortable, there are not many people in the world who are so affectionate and righteous, "poof" knelt on the ground, his voice choked, "What Erchen said is just a little grievance they suffer on weekdays, if they don't leave that home, it is estimated that even if the two of them have the ability to go to heaven, how can they see a doctor cheaply for ordinary people, how can they pay for the military camp, the two of them even adopt their second brother's child, I beg my father not to punish them for the crime of unfilial piety, they do this because they want to protect themselves and protect their children, just like the father protects us children, and they are not willing to let us suffer a little grievance. โ
When the emperor heard Rong Jin say that, his eyes were full of shock, and he was even more helpless, waved his hand at Rong Jin, and said in a low voice, go out.
Rong Jin still wanted to say something, but looking at the emperor's serious appearance, he said slowly, "I remember that when my mother was pregnant with my sister, I fell down, and at that time my son hated that he couldn't take care of his mother, what if the mother and sister have three strengths and two weaknesses, fortunately, the mother and sister are fine, but my sister is born prematurely and is congenitally insufficient, and she is still taking medicine until now, do you want to ask Mrs. Chi to come over to help my sister take a look, maybe I can take care of my sister's body." โ
Rong Jin didn't say Chi Hang this time, just to give the emperor a chance to figure it out, so that the emperor realized a problem, the queen's mother was born prematurely and dangerously, and by the way, he was mentioning Mrs. Chi's medical skills.
The emperor stiffened his face, raised his eyes to look at Rong Jin, waved his hand at Rong Jin, and said coldly, "Go out first." โ
"The retainers retired." After Rong Jin finished saying what he felt he should say, he silently withdrew from the house.
When Rong Jin withdrew, the emperor seemed to be much older, leaning back on the chair tiredly, raising his eyes to look at Gonggong Li on the side, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Chi Hang?" โ
When Gonggong Li raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, he secretly wiped a handful of tears, sniffed vigorously, and his voice was choked, "Your Majesty, the old slave just thinks that if the slave had such a father, he would not have been sold to a dirty place, if it weren't for the emperor's good heart, maybe the slave would have to kneel and bathe the horse and cow for the rest of his life." โ
The emperor looked at the tears in Gonggong Li's eyes and sighed lightly, "He is a good father." โ
"The slave thinks that the rabbit is anxious and bites, and it is normal for them to be reluctant to see their mothers," Li Gonggong said, remembering what the prince said about the child, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, "This hunter can earn a lot of silver a year, but when he divided the family, he only gave ten taels of silver, which is too partial, the fourth can be a big official, and the third child will be divided with ten taels of silver, it is really unreasonable to say it, not to mention the side, this countryman can't make money at all, What can make money is also earned by hunters. โ
The emperor looked at Gonggong Li seriously and nodded slightly, "Do you agree that he is not filial?" โ
Gonggong Li was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground and defended, "No, this filial piety is justified, but this filial piety also requires people to live to be filial. โ
Seeing that the coercion on the emperor's body had subsided a lot, Gonggong Li remembered what the prince said, and hurriedly said, "The fourth child has money to study, so there is no way to treat the third child, if it is an incurable disease, then it will be fine, but it can still be cured, the emperor, after this person is healed, how cool should this heart be!" โ
The emperor remembered that when he was sick before, he waited in the palace for the emperor to see him, but the emperor still didn't go to see him in the end.
At that time, Rong Jin was eight years old and Rong Lin was three years old, and the two of them went to accompany him every day and coax him.
The past time is gone, and the emperor feels that he is a little old, thinking that when he finishes the last thing, it is time to retire.
When Chi Hang Lin Guyu returned from the south with his family, the weather in the north had already cooled, and the leaves on the trees had turned yellow and began to fall from time to time.
Fortunately, I also brought thick clothes when I went, otherwise I would definitely feel cold when I came back.
Lin Guyu felt so tired, it was really too troublesome to go out, although someone helped clean up, but it took too much time on the road.
Back to the room, Lin Guyu simply took a bath, and then lay lazily on the bed, playing along the way, but he didn't feel tired, he was in a hurry on the way back, and he was busy, and he felt a little tired.
Chi Hang took the towel and wiped his hair casually, looking at Lin Guyu lying on the bed and walking towards her, his brows couldn't help but twist into a ball, "Your hair is still wet, this will wet the bedding, which is not good for your health." โ
Lin Guyu pressed the hair on his head, slowly sat up straight, and turned his head to look at Chi Hang, "Next time I won't go so far, I'm so tired." โ
"Yes." Chi Hang said, thinking that he had seen almost everything along the way, and he could only go to the prairie in the future, but there were all Huns over there, and I heard that the Huns had surrendered recently, but looking at their brave and good fighting appearance, I was afraid that they would pretend to surrender.
Lin Guyu reluctantly sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and wiped his hair, looked at Chi Hang intently with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said seriously, "But let's go climbing the mountain another day, let's go without children!" โ
"Okay."
Xu Zixuan and Dousha's results came out a month after they left.
Xu Zixuan took the fourth place in the exam and was already a lifter.
Dousha's score was a little behind, and he ranked 20 and passed the Tongsheng exam.
It happened that the time of the two months of rest was up, and Lin Guyu didn't have time to rest, so he helped the two of them prepare things, so he sent the two of them to the Kyoto School.
There are a lot of children and talents in the Kyoto Academy, and if they pass the exam, they will have to go to a higher school.
After sending off the two children, Lin Guyu took the carriage home from outside, and saw that the soldiers of the government surrounded the entire Chi Mansion, each holding a long sword.
Lin Guyu got off the carriage and looked at those people in astonishment, and mentioned in his heart, could it be that the matter of tribute was discovered?
