Volume XIV, Chapter 25

The war has entered a stalemate, Anyun and Miyun both have exhausted their national strength for this war, but the offensive and defensive sides are half of the winner, especially a year later, after the death of the old king of Anyun, the new king took office, and felt that there was no need to fight this war at all, although the thundering prince repeatedly begged the king to let him continue to lead the army to attack the Miyun country, but the new king still decided to stop this meaningless war, replaced the thundering prince, and sent another general to the border, which is exactly what the two countries wanted, and it is also the common desire of the two peoples, and finally after a short negotiation, the two countries reached an agreement, stopped the war and restored peace on the border.

This is a piece of news that makes Xie Zhenguo extremely excited, after years of perseverance, the bitterness has finally come to an end, and the two sides have stopped fighting, which is worth celebrating, and I believe that it will not be long before I can return to Yundu to meet my wife and children.

Sure enough, as Xie Zhenguo expected, the king issued a decree, so that Xie Zhenguo's father and son and others returned to Beijing, in order to reward these soldiers who have guarded the border for many years, the king decided to reward, Xie Zhenguo as the prince of Zhenguo, and authorized Xie Zhenguo to reward the meritorious soldiers on behalf of the king, this is an incomparable glory, all the generals have been rewarded one by one, but Xie Zhenguo did not give Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng another reward, he believes that although the two are already the brigade commanders of the independent brigade, but in essence, they are already army commanders, and there is no need to reward them again, otherwise, it will cause the two of them to be arrogant。

Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng's fame and fortune are not very important, and after Xie Zhenguo's explanation, they no longer feel that there is any favoritism, but their subordinates feel a little unfair. However, his own brigade commander did not say anything. Others just felt a little injustice in private.

After doing this qiē, Xie Zhenguo followed the king's will. Let Wang Yongbin and Wang Zhiheng continue to stay at the border pass, and he will go back to Yundu to meet the king first.

Time flies, and another seven or eight years have passed inadvertently, and the son in the family should be eight years old, I don't know how tall and old he is, thinking of this, Xie Zhenguo can't help but have mixed feelings.

After Xie Zhenguo met with the king, he received the king's permission. Let him stay at home for some time, in fact, King Wu Zhujun and Xie Zhenguo have a very good personal relationship, so many years of relationship between monarchs and ministers, and when Xie Zhenguo bravely saved the king, he was extremely appreciated by Wu Zhujun. Of course, the king was very pitiful to such a confidant and beloved general, and rewarded him with a lot of property, not to mention, and specially granted Xie Zhenguo special privileges. Let him enter the palace at any time, without the need to be passed on, and for a while, Zhenguo Gong became a hot figure.

Since he has been so valued by His Majesty the King. Of course, the courtyard of Zhenguo Gong was lively, and the flow of people visiting was like pedestrians on the street. The river is endless, and Xie Zhenguo has been fighting for many years. Where have I seen this kind of battle, I have no choice but to close the door and thank the guests, blocking all those who visit.

He and his wife, Wen Yuni, had to hide in the house all day, which upset him, and until now, he had not seen his son.

Xie Tianzong is eight years old this year, according to his age, he has already studied in a noble school, Xie Zhenguo originally went to visit, but he found that he had fallen into a heavy siege, and it was impossible to get out of the house at all, because those people who visited outside were like carp crossing the river, waiting outside the door, these people are like this, if you want to have a friendship with Xie Zhenguo, the more you refuse to meet, the more these people are stalked, because they know that as long as Xie Zhenguo is willing to meet him, then the matter will be half, of course, the more rare it is, the greater the chance of success, so these days, the number of people in front of Xie Zhenguo's door not only did not decrease because he refused to meet, but more and more.

This situation annoyed Xie Zhenguo, and he even had to sneak in and out of his own house, but there was no way, in order to see his son, he had to sneak out of the house, what he didn't expect was that there were people waiting at the aristocratic school, and if he wanted to see his son, I am afraid it was impossible.

Xie Zhenguo's embarrassment, King Wu Zhujun has received a report from someone, of course he wants to relieve his henchmen, so he ordered someone to invite Xie Zhenguo and his wife to the palace for a banquet, the whole banquet is very simple, there are only four people, King Wu Zhujun and his queen, and Xie Zhenguo and his wife.

"Your Majesty, the minister's door is now surrounded by people, if it continues like this, it will definitely be starved of food and water, please call the shots!" Xie Zhenguo said half-jokingly at the banquet.

"No, who will besiege your Zhenguo Gong, as a general, will you still be afraid of others besieging you?" Wu Zhujun also said jokingly, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is so easy-going, their relationship can be seen in general.

"It's been four days since the minister went home, and he only sneaked out of the house yesterday, originally to see his son who hadn't seen him for eight years, but he didn't expect that even the school was guarded, and the minister couldn't get in at all. Xie Zhenguo already knew that the king must have understood his suffering, so he complained to the king about his suffering.

"Hahaha! Zhen Guogong, you are still good at fighting, but you are a bit of a layman with a sophisticated relationship with this person, I give you such glory, of course there will be people who will befriend you, you reject people thousands of miles away, but there is something wrong, if you continue like this, you will really fall into an isolated and helpless situation, you should pay attention to this!"

"Your Majesty is right, the minister was born in the army, grew up in the military camp, and is used to acting on orders, but after coming back, he is really at a loss for these etiquettes, and please make it clear!"

"It's very simple, you just put all these people in the house!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know, these people are all carrying valuable gifts, how dare the ministers accept them, aren't they trapping the ministers in injustice, this is against the law of the country, how can the ministers go to see them?"

"Well, that's a problem, let's do it, I'll give you a good idea, you go to the largest restaurant in Yundu tomorrow to set up a hundred tables of wine banquet, and let all these people go there to meet you, but first of all, you must make it clear that you can't bring any gifts, otherwise, you won't be allowed to go in, what do you think?"

"Hundreds of tables of wine banquets! Your Majesty, how much does that cost? You don't know, my little money to support my family is still a problem!"

"Zhenguo Gong, you want to blackmail me, then okay, how about I give you these wine money?" Wu Zhujun just values Xie Zhenguo, he is relatively honest and honest, and he is not like ordinary Wenchen who has as many fancy intestines, and everything goes around in circles to fool him.

"Thank you so much, but I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, I want to go see my son tomorrow, after all, for so many years, I haven't even seen what my son looks like, hey, I'm really ashamed of my mother and son as a father!" Xie Zhenguo was a little annoyed when he thought of this, what is this called, his son can't see it, it's really worrying.

"That's it, okay, then it's set the day after tomorrow, I'm a good person to the end, tomorrow I'll accompany you to a noble school, so that you can meet your son, otherwise, you're going to scold me!" Wu Zhujun fully understands Xie Zhenguo's hardships, Xie Zhenguo is a person born in the army, has a straightforward temperament, and it is impossible to adapt to the red tape in society in a hurry.

"This ...... How can the minister afford it!" After Xie Zhenguo heard this, he immediately left the table and knelt on the ground, and said in a panic, this toss made Wen Yuni, who was about to talk happily with the queen, also at a loss and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Hey, look, look, this is a complete mess of the atmosphere, hurry up, hurry up!" Wu Zhujun hurriedly left the table to help Xie Zhenguo, and the queen also hurriedly helped Wen Yuni, who was at a loss.

"This matter has been decided, anyway, I really want to inspect the aristocratic school, so you can go with me. ”

"Xie Majesty. Xie Zhenguo wanted to kneel and worship again, but Wu Zhujun hurriedly helped him up.

"Okay, okay, didn't I say it, you don't need to be a monarch tonight, it's purely a personal relationship, not about state affairs. You don't have to worry, tonight, you and your wife will sleep in the palace, I have ordered someone to go to your mansion to tell the second elder of the family, you can rest in peace in the house, tomorrow morning after the court, I and your wife will go to the noble school, and the queen will also go with me. ”

"Yes, thank you. Xie Zhenguo and his wife hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked them heartily.

"Hey, why are you so polite, I think that you risked your life to save my life back then, speaking of which, I should thank you well. Here, have a drink with me. ”

"Your Majesty, the two of you will talk slowly, and the concubine and Sister Yuni will retire first. Seeing that the two of them were happy, the queen pulled Wen Yuni out of the table.

"Alright then, you two will go first. Wu Zhujun waved his hand. (To be continued......)
