Chapter 490: Ancestors and Grandchildren (Second Watch)
The old protector took 200,000 soldiers and horses, and after walking halfway, he instructed Zhou Wei to set up camp and rest.
Zhou Wei looked at the old protector, "Grandfather, it's still early, and you can still go fifty miles today." ”
"I'm not leaving. Old arms and legs, I can't stand it. Let the soldiers rest too. The old protector pounded his shoulders.
Zhou Wei suddenly felt guilty, "I'm sorry grandfather, I'm too anxious." ”
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this march is a battle, the most important thing is to avoid chaos in a hurry, no matter when, the mentality must be stable, otherwise the enemy can't fight, and he will collapse first." The old protector looked at the eldest grandson and patted him on the shoulder, "You have been steady since you were a child, everyone praises you for your stability, and they all say that your brother is impatient and an impatient and broken man, but do you know why I didn't allow him to join the army since he was a child?" ”
Zhou Wei looked at the old Protector, "Because my grandfather wants the fourth brother to take a different path from the three of our brothers, and jump out of the road protected by the ancestors of the Protector Mansion." ”
"That's what I said." The old protector shook his head, "Because I can see that he is the calmest person among your brothers." It would be a pity if he joined the army. Obviously, he has the talent to enter and exit. ”
Zhou Wei was silent.
The old protector put his hands behind his back, "Do you want to say, where is he calm?" Growing up, you can't find a place for him to calm down, right? ”
Zhou Wei finally couldn't hold it back, "I admit that my younger brother has the talent to enter and exit, but you said that he is the most calm, and my grandson really didn't see it." ”
The old protector said: "That's one thing you forgot." ”
He reminded Zhou Wei, "You still remember that when your brother was four years old, you brothers went hunting with the princes. On that day, I met a group of tigers, the guards desperately rescued each other, all of you were painted, and even, the prince fell off his horse, sprained his foot, there was a tiger, rushing towards him, no one around the prince could save him at that time, it was your fourth brother, at a young age, pulled a bow and arrow, shot the tiger in the eye, the prince had a chance, with a dagger, killed the tiger, and at that time, all of you, panicked, only he and the prince did not panic. ”
The old protector continued: "Later, after the prince recovered from his injuries, he found me and asked your fourth brother to accompany him in the East Palace. I didn't agree at first, but he told me what happened that day, and he said that if he was put into the army, he would be at most a general under the protection of the ancestor of the Protectorate Mansion, but if he entered his East Palace to study with him, then he would be a general in the future, a generation of famous ministers, and his name would go down in history, not a lie. I thought about it for a long time, promised the prince, secretly planned, sent him to the study, and then pushed the boat down the river and kicked him to the East Palace. ”
He sighed, "No one knows that he entered the East Palace because the prince asked for it." Qin Taifu taught with his heart, and the prince bothered to cultivate. How did you think that the child couldn't help but turn his head upside down, and it was cheaper......"
He wanted to say, "It's cheaper for Su Rong's little girl", but he thought that Da Liang could keep the country under the iron horse of Great Wei and have a stable life for sixteen years, and the only daughter of the county lord Zhenmin was also worth paying for a grandson to be his son-in-law.
If you want to pay, you will pay for it, so at the beginning, he ordered Zhou Gu and didn't choose Zhou Che, but at that time, he didn't expect that the king of Nanchu turned out to be a bastard, not in the harem, and had no children under his knees for many years, only Su Rong had a daughter, he couldn't marry a granddaughter-in-law, but had to take in the grandson who was the most painstaking to cultivate, which really made him lose a bottom.
He waved his hand depressedly, not wanting to say more, "Listen to me, set up camp!" Let the soldiers, rest well. ”
Zhou Weiying is, he has never questioned his grandfather's decision, but now when he heard his grandfather mention it, he also remembered that when he was still very young, he followed the fourth brother, as the eldest brother, his father and uncles were no longer there, and he had to take care of his younger brothers, so he was almost inseparable. At that time, the prince fell off his horse, and a tiger rushed towards the prince, but it was just a moment, he was scared stupid, it was indeed the fourth brother, at a young age, he picked up the small bow and arrow in his hand, pulled the bow and arrow, and shot the tiger in the eye. The prince seized the opportunity, drew his dagger, and fought the tiger to kill.
Later, after the prince killed the tiger, he glanced at the small special bow and arrow, and then at the fourth brother, with a white face, as if he wanted to say something, His Majesty and grandfather arrived with people, and all the wounded were returned.
Later, the prince came to the door in person, but the East Palace did not give a thank you gift, and he did not make a big fanfare, he thought that in order to avoid suspicion, the matter would pass. After all, it was too chaotic at that time, and no one paid attention to the fourth brother saving the prince except him.
Until, the fourth brother was dissatisfied with his grandfather not letting him join the army, and was escorted to the imperial study, making a big fuss in the imperial study, and the angry gentlemen ran to His Majesty to complain every day after class, at that time, Qin Taifu was notoriously strict, and His Majesty was annoyed enough, and in order to test his grandfather, he thought about it and kicked the fourth brother to the East Palace, and his grandfather, pushing the boat down the river, shook his head and said that he couldn't control it, and obeyed His Majesty's will.
It turned out that behind the scenes, it was because of such an incident, and for many years, he had forgotten it.
He was ashamed to think that as the eldest brother, he did have many places that were inferior to his younger brother. Over the years, he has focused all his energy on the army, and his grandfather said that he is suitable for the army, and he has done a better job than his father at his age, enough to support the lintel of the Protector's Mansion, which is enough. He has never interfered in the conspiracy and conspiracy surging in the dark tide of the DPRK and China, and he does not need to interfere.
After his father died in battle, he was young, His Majesty deliberately pressed his father's title, he was in the position of the son, stayed for many years, did not attack the title, his grandfather told him, there is no need to worry, the title of the Protector Mansion, his father's title, sooner or later it will be his, Your Majesty will give it, or the new emperor will give it to the prince in the future, in short, sooner or later.
He only needs to calm down and concentrate on training, because Dawei and Daliang will have a battle sooner or later, and he will go to the battlefield in the future. Since he is going to go to the battlefield sooner or later, what he should practice is his skills and qi cultivation kung fu, otherwise in the future, his wife and children will be thrown down by him, just like he and his younger brothers when they were young, and none of his father and uncle will come back. He didn't want his grandchildren to end up in the same fate.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and walked quickly, and soon, he ordered the whole army to rest in place.
The old protector lived in the military tent, so he lit a charcoal fire and studied the topographic map while burning sweet potatoes.
After Zhou Wei inspected the whole army, he returned to the military tent of the old protector, and smelled the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes. ”
Double the monthly pass, babes, come on! Hm~
