Chapter 178: A Peaceful Life

readx;? The recent days of the seed master road have been very difficult, the western army was pulled by Tong Guan to Hebei for a turn, the attrition is very strong, the responsibility for the failure of the attack on the Liao people is all borne by him, and the small exploits are infinitely magnified and placed on the body of Tong Daren. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The general of the defeated army turned into a hero who saved the Great Song Dynasty from danger, and the failure of the strategy of the two major forces in the north was not admitted by Tong Daren when he was killed, and only found the reason in the quality of the army.

Soldiers can't fight, even if Di Qing is alive, they can't turn things around.

If it weren't for the incident in the south, Tong Guan wouldn't have known how to brag about his bravery on the battlefield on the northern front after returning to the capital.

Of course, this kind of brave martial arts of his is now suffering for him.

The emperor doesn't know why, he is surrounded by other people's eyeliner, and the black and white of things are all from them, and there is no necessary connection with the facts.

However, the descendants of the Zhao family are adhering to the statecraft left by their ancestors, and they are particularly sensitive to military generals, especially the famous military generals, let them lead the troops to fight, and I can't wait to let him sit in Tokyo to command.

Therefore, Tong Guan had no fault in the Northern Expedition, but the fault was that the army under his rule had limited capabilities.

Fang La's thief started, and the planting master was still in Hebei, so he gave the emperor a slight, and wanted to lead the troops to the south, exterminate the anti-thief, and atone for his crimes.

Tong Guan got the news in advance and was ready to go to Huainan to establish a new gong, as long as Fang La can be pacified, who can remember the failure of the Northern Expedition?

This is the little Jiujiu he played, and the master Dao also wanted to use this opportunity to show it, but he was a thigh, and he couldn't fight, so the Yongxing army didn't even return home, and was led south by Tong Guan to level the thief.

Cui Mansion.

Flower Hall.

The three old guys sat at a round table, each with a stove next to him, and an enamel wine bottle was placed on top of each stove, and from time to time he picked up the wine glass poured in front of him and raised his glass to drink.

It is said that the two of them are not at the table, and the three of them are together to taste wine, and besides, they are all old and have passed the age of heavy drinking.

"This kid didn't see it, he really had some means, in just half a year, he commanded an army, and he was also knighted by the saint, and he never saw the holy face, so he could get such an honor, which is really a blessing for my generation!"

The seed master Dao first opened the topic, because to be honest, he was also a little envious of Wu Xi, who was ordered to be added to his body at such a young age, and there were only a handful of them throughout the ages.

"Who said it wasn't? At first I thought he was just playing, but I didn't expect this kid to come for real!"

Mr. Tianjue looked older, still boasting about his disciple with a red face.

"Do not boast about him, for when the time comes, when the tail reaches up to heaven, you will receive it. ”

The old man spoke, clearly derogatory and praised, and both of them heard the meaning of the words, and they couldn't help but make some contemptuous actions towards Cui Shicai, and that's it, Wu Xi taught them.

"As long as your life is good, pick up a treasure, if he has a chance, you will also follow the glory and enjoy it!"

Mr. Tianjue's words were full of envy.

"Isn't he also your closed disciple? The old man doesn't believe that he can ignore you?"

The seed master Dao is a quick temper, and said with a glare.

"Look at you, you are still angry at every turn when you are old, that is a different one, you are very measured, respect the old and love the young, and be sympathetic to the elders, you don't see it, but the old man is worried that he is too sharp, he suffers from jealousy, and the officialdom has always been too ruthless, so I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand the blow and give up halfway, it is really a pity. ”

"Don't worry about others, think more about what happened after you, that kid is a ghost, in order to force himself to make mistakes, he was stunned outside Suzhou City, in front of so many people, and killed Zhu Mian live, this incident caused a sensation in the government and the opposition, and I don't know how much the impeachment fold has been handed over, isn't he doing well now?

According to the old man, this is where he is smart, merits and demerits are offset, no reward or punishment, even if someone criticizes, it is something else, and it has nothing to do with this matter, you must know that the ultimate actual beneficiary of the killing of Zhu Mian is actually Shengshang, so Shengshang faced so many impeachment pieces and did not say a word, this is a kind of protection. ”

Mr. Tianjue is worthy of being a prime minister, and he has broken through the mystery in one sentence, and it seems that there are still people in the bystanders who can understand it

"He is becoming more and more mature, and there may be other intentions brewing behind his seemingly casual actions, this is the good apprentice you brought out. ”

The seed master Dao looked very angry, but in fact, he was happy in his heart, not to mention how happy he was, because Wu Xi was also picked up by him.

"He has paved the road to the capital, we are a few bad old men to worry about him, this is a conscienceless, since he left for more than half a year, in addition to looking at his majestic deeds in the newspaper, he is reluctant to write a letter first, I have heard that he has a lot of free time. ”

Mr. Tianjue felt that his time was running out, and he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"Life has to go through this hurdle, and the old man can see that you don't seem to be mentally prepared!"

Cui Shicai looked at Zhang Shangying and said.

It is because of the appearance of Wu Xi that he is full of hope for this era, he has unconsciously changed many people and many things, which is a little different from before, some things that others dare not do, he dares, and if others are not good to say, he also dares, but it becomes different in a different way, and there are too many smart people.

Maybe we're too conservative to think about the problem and can't reach the level of him, right?"

I heard that someone has sent his family to the capital and live at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so that Wu Xi, who is leading the troops, does not want anything else, just fight well, and he also calls His Majesty Longen, taking care of the general's family, but in fact, he has put his family under house arrest and forced him to submit. ”

Cui Shicai said, because as soon as the Son of Heaven arrives, his granddaughter will leave Chang'an to live in Tokyo, and she has never left Chang'an, so she doesn't know if she can adapt to life there.

"Brother Cui, don't worry, he has already arranged everything, just waiting for the holy decree. ”

"Oh, alas, I know that this is the case, others take one step to see three steps, he is one step to see ten steps, it is simply a demonic existence, how can this make others live!"

Cui Shicai said with emotion.

"I'm old, my mind can't keep up, it's better to watch the children at home!"

Speaking of children, Cui Shicai thought of Cui Miaotong, and said that he would go and see everything, he was already six months pregnant, and it was his first child, so he had to take good care of it.

Talking and talking, the three of them felt that the wine was really unpalatable, or the Wu family's wine was more strong, and the three old men hit it off and decided to go to the Wu family to beg for wine now.

As soon as they said go, their respective servants began to get busy.

But in the end, the three of them crowded into a carriage and came to the Wu Mansion with a smile and a smile, someone had already said hello in advance, and the housekeeper Lao Meng appeared in front of the door early to greet him, and he didn't care about the smile on his face full of folds.

After inviting people into the house, they were careful to serve them and give them whatever they wanted, especially the potatoes and corn that they protected like baby bumps, and each of them served one.

I knew that this thing was a royal banquet in the Song Dynasty, and it was still necessary to take it out on a relatively large occasion to entertain guests, but now they have one in front of them.

That's the supreme courtesy.

After eating, it was to drink, just a small pot, Cui Shicai felt a little stingy, Lao Meng couldn't afford to offend, so he had to let his subordinates bring a jar and put it on the table, although in the end they didn't touch the wine in the jar, but the sense of form was very strong, which made the three old men happy in their hearts.

Cui Miaotong heard that her grandfather was coming, so she had to come over to take a look.

It is said that the lady who is pregnant with a child is unlucky, and it is better not to meet guests, but in the Wu family, there has never been such a rule, not only to meet, but also to deliberately hold up the belly for them to see.

Now Cui Miaotong doesn't need to stand up, her belly is also very big, and her walking is a little affected, so she slowly walked over with Xiaomei's support.

There are a few old mothers behind him, lest something happen, he waits carefully, the head of the family treats them well, and he should do his best to take care of the housewife.

The Wu family has always consciously done everything, no one is lazy, no one shirks responsibility, even if they are lazy, they are just thieves, and they will not play tricks.

When the housekeeper saw it, he gave you an unfriendly look at most, and he didn't even say a word heavy, and then walked away with his hands behind his back and beating the beat.

Seeing Cui Miaotong coming over with a big belly, the three old men dropped the wine glasses in their hands and hurriedly went up to greet them, for fear that they would be excited to see their relatives and have a problem.

From afar, Cui Miaotong called her grandfather with a smile and saluted the other two elders.

Seed Master Dao and Zhang Shangying hurriedly stepped forward to help, with such a heavy body, the etiquette is just a matter of meaning, there is no need to be so formal.

"Grandpa, why are you here? Is there any news from my husband?"

After a few people sat down again, Cui Miaotong asked impatiently.

"Every time the caravan comes back, do you bring a letter with you? Hehe, besides, we came because we wanted to drink your wine. ”

Cui Shicai said.

"The number of caravans coming back is much less, sometimes they don't go through Chang'an at all, and the news brought back is getting less and less, the child is about to be born, and his granddaughter is not around, and she is panicked!"

"Sure enough, it is a family, your husband is such a virtuous person, you can rest assured, I heard that the army has reached Hangzhou, and the city will be broken in a few days, Fang La is finished, and the army will return to Beijing in two months at most, and it can catch up with you to have children. ”

The seed master comforted Cui Miaotong, and he was telling the truth.

"That's the best, the woman is the most scared of having a child, if I have three long and two short, and I don't even have a confidant in front of me, I feel scared when I think about it, and now that I have news, I finally feel more relieved, okay, you have a good chat, I will go back and write a letter to my husband, calculate the time, and the caravan at home should come back in these days." ”

After saying that, he turned around shyly and left.

The three old men smiled and pinched their beards and looked at Cui Miaotong, who was easily satisfied, until her figure disappeared to the end of the corridor.
