Chapter 611: Hold on to Chang'an
There was suddenly a little granddaughter next to the king of Hejian County, and he also loved this little granddaughter like a treasure, and he personally took him by his side to raise him, not to mention, and he had to search for the best to send the little granddaughter to and fro. Such a fanfare action naturally attracted the attention of many people.
Even, some people speculate privately - could it be, this child was not picked up by the king of Hejian County at all, but his illegitimate daughter, right?
It's just that it doesn't make sense, after all, with the current identity of the King of Hejian County, no matter what kind of woman he wants to marry, no one will stop him. And even if you can't marry someone as a wife, then it's okay to be a concubine! There are not even a few mothers in the huge county king's mansion, as long as that woman is stationed in the county king's mansion, she is a legitimate hostess, does it matter whether she is a wife or a concubine?
But no. Except for the little granddaughter, they still couldn't see a single woman by the side of the King of Hejian.
Even the saint was very curious about the origin of this child, but no matter how they asked, the king of Hejian just did not answer, and only insisted that this child was his granddaughter, his own granddaughter! The saint was helpless, and out of respect for his uncle and grandfather, he finally nodded and asked the people of Zongzheng Temple to record the child's name in the family tree.
Then, the king of Hejian became more and more desireless...... No, it should be said that I am surrounded by this little granddaughter, and I don't go out of the door, so I regard taking care of children as my main career.
And after two months of recuperation, Mu Jiaojiao's body finally recovered almost and she could walk on the ground.
Then, the family began to move in a big way.
Cui Pu is now the king of the county, so naturally he can no longer live in Cui Mansion for a long time, and must open another mansion. It just so happened that after they came back, Da Lang Jun dealt with Cui Pu in front of the king, and was deeply appreciated by the sage, who not only rewarded Mu Jiaojiao with a cart full of medicinal materials, but also rewarded them with a mansion.
Before, Cui Pu's father and son were not in Chang'an, and their daughters and children had to live in Cui's house. Later, Mu Jiaojiao was seriously ill and couldn't move, and Cui Pu was reluctant to worry about her too much. Now that she's well, the move has to be put on the agenda.
But fortunately, the Hanyang County Palace, which is not too far from the Cui Mansion, is only a short time away from the Cui Mansion, so everyone did not feel very sad about the departure of Cui Pu's family, but the whole family was overjoyed because there was a county king in the family.
During the time when Mu Jiaojiao was recuperating in bed, she also heard a lot of things - Cui Pu officially wrote a letter to ask for the title of Da Langjun as the prince. Because of their outstanding performance on the battlefield, Erlangjun and Nanshan were also greatly praised by the sage, so they made them a marquis. The sage also gave a mansion to Nanshan, and the place was on the edge of Cui Pu's county king's mansion. However, the little lady was reluctant to leave Mu Jiaojiao, so she still chose to follow Mu Jiaojiao. Seeing this, Nanshan naturally followed his wife's wishes, and the family of three continued to serve by Mu Jiaojiao's side.
When the meritorious deeds were rewarded afterwards, many people were knighted, and Peng Zhang was also awarded the title of Dedication to the Kingdom because of his meritorious service in treating the soldiers and offering two major killing weapons.
Mu Jiaojiao only smiled lightly after knowing the news: "Now he has finally become famous again." ”
And this time, he was directly loved and trusted by the saints. In the future, he can be proud of ninety percent of the people in Chang'an City, and they can't touch him.
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that I'm still a big step behind, your husband and I are kings!" Cui Pu said proudly.
So he is not jealous, not at all!
"Yes, yes, you're the best. Your title was fought for in a sea of swords and guns, and it is indeed much more powerful than him!" Mu Jiaojiao nodded again and again.
"That's the truth!" Cui Pu said seriously.
Then, the two of them burst into laughter.
Then, less than a month after they moved over, the Lu family and the Li family came out with good news one after another.
Mu Jiaojiao's eyes now looking at Erlangjun can no longer be described as surprised, she is almost frightened by her son, who is silent but muffled and does big things, and her heart is about to stop beating!
Because of the relationship between being pregnant again, Li Shi did not stand now, but sat on the Hu bed that Mu Jiaojiao ordered someone to move. It's just that his face is flushed, his head is almost hanging to his chest, and he almost doesn't dare to look up to see people.
But the little Langjun they gave birth to was very excited, and the two brothers held hands happily: "We are going to have a little sister, finally we have it!
Lu Shi and Da Langjun are naturally full of expectations for this child. Now looking at the two children laughing and making trouble, I can't help but look at each other and smile. But when they looked up at Lee's side again, they couldn't laugh anymore.
Mu Jiaojiao also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she said to the Li family: "I see that you are not in good spirits, why don't you go back and rest first! ”
Lee wanted to refuse. Just thinking about her current situation, she still shook her lips, thanked her gently, and hurriedly took the maid's hand and went out.
Erlangjun has to follow.
"Erlang, you stay, I have something to say to you. Mu Jiaojiao immediately stopped him.
Erlangjun turned around. "What else does A-Niang command?"
"You and your wife...... Respect her a little bit, and don't keep making her sad. "I really want to beat this kid over and let him stay away from the Li family! But the son is already so old, and the Li family has real flesh and blood in the womb, so it is useless for her to do this now, so she can only confess in vain.
Erlang-kun grinned. "Auntie, you are too worried, and my son has always respected her. Everything that concerns her is done with her consent. Or ask her!"
This kind of thing, how did he ask her? It was also about his husband's face, and the Li family would definitely not say a bad word about him, right?
Mu Jiaojiao shook her head. "That's it, you are going to take care of your mother. These days must make her feel happy so that she can have a safe baby. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, these children are saved. Erlangjun nodded hurriedly, then turned around and retreated.
Subsequently, Da Langjun and his wife also left with their children.
Looking at the place where the children had stayed, and then thinking back to the various performances of the Li family and Erlangjun, Mu Jiaojiao couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What do you think this is!" she sighed weakly.
Then a warm hand grasped her shoulder. "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, why should you worry too much about them? I think Erlang is right, although Li is a little shy, but there is not much sadness and anger on her face, I think she is really voluntary. ”
"But ...... "Well, she admitted that since Erlangjun came back, although Li's face was still plain, his eyes were obviously much brighter. These must be the credit of Erlangjun. Naturally, she was also happy that she had such a capable son.
However, he couldn't toss her a little grandson so quickly! Not to mention that the Li family's acceptance was limited in such a short period of time, even if she, a mother who longed for her son and daughter-in-law to live in harmony, almost couldn't fully accept it, okay?
"Well, it's all like this now, it's useless for you to sigh too much. If you are not in good health, you should think less and worry too much, so as not to hurt your mind. Cui Pu said, but he couldn't help but sigh.
Mu Jiaojiao turned around: "Are you still worried about the Guo family's brother and their in-laws?"
"Can you not be worried?" Cui Pu said in a low voice, "Although the war has subsided now, and there is a sense of prosperity everywhere, the saint is obviously very suspicious of us powerful generals. The elder brother of the Guo family and the eldest lady's uncle, they have all been taken away from their military power. The dictatorship of eunuchs and the infighting among friends have also intensified. Lai Yao was even framed to death by them because he offended the eunuchs! Unfortunately, you were seriously ill as soon as I came back, and I stayed by your side every day, ignoring other things, so that the saint knew that I was not very interested in power, but the last time I met the saint, he also revealed his intention to transfer me away and take away the military power, but I prevaricated. But I think that as long as those people are still around, they will continue to slander me in front of the saints, and I will not be able to hold my military power for long. ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Actually, I don't really care if it's military power or not. It's just that my headache now is that since the rebellion against An Lushan, their so-called Great Yan Dynasty has experienced so many changes of thrones in just a few years, which has given hope to many people who originally only had a thief's heart but no thief's courage. Those who had a little military power in various places rose up to stand on their own, although most of them were wiped out by the imperial court. Up to now, the Anshi rebels have been completely wiped out, and most of those people have stopped thinking, but after all, there are still people who are brave enough and will definitely not give up. An Lushan and his ilk have made a good start, and there will not be a few people who choose to follow him in the future!"
And even under such circumstances, the saint listened to the eunuchs' advocacy and guarded against these loyal courtiers, lest they also play the trick of rebellion.
"God knows, if you really think of the words of self-reliance, will we have to work hard outside for seven years?" Speaking of grief and indignation, Cui Pu couldn't help but clench his fists and wave vigorously.
Although he is halfway to the road, he has been a military general for more than ten years. Over the years, he has also seen the brothers who used to fight side by side die or be wounded, and if this is caused on the battlefield, he will not say anything. However, at least half of the people there died at the mercy of their own people's schemes!
If it weren't for the fact that he had the Bo Ling Cui clan behind him and Mu Jiaojiao by his side, those people would definitely not be so polite to him, right? He thought to himself, and his heart became more and more sad and angry.
Mu Jiaojiao gently held his hand and gently soothed.
Listening to her soft words ringing in her ears, Cui Pu's heart slowly calmed down. He buried his head on her shoulder: "Actually, as long as the four seas are calm and the people live and work in peace and contentment, not to mention that the saints want to take away my military power, I have no problem handing over the military power with my own hands! But now, not only has the civil war not been completely calmed down, but the DPRK and China are also in a mess. In such a situation, the saints still listen to those eunuchs and beware of those who shed blood and sweat on the battlefield. He never thought that if he really hurt us all and had an accident in the future, who would be able to stand up and defend this country?
Mu Jiaojiao has never understood much about the affairs of the court. And now, what Cui Pu needs is venting, not comfort. Unless the saint changes his mind and changes his attitude towards those of them who shed their blood for the country, he will not be in a better mood.
So Mu Jiaojiao didn't speak, just stroked his back and helped him calm down.
Leaning on Mu Jiaojiao's shoulder, Cui Pu slowly closed his eyes. After a long time, Mu Jiaojiao could still hear him whispering: "Now Fugu Huaien is also about to be cornered. If he really can't bear it anymore, the saint will believe the words of those eunuchs even more!"
Who knows, a prophecy.
Due to the crusade against the Anshi rebels, most of the army in the west was withdrawn, and Tubo sensed the opportunity, and under the leadership of Fugu Huai'en, who was forced to have no way out by the imperial court, he joined forces with Hui Hui in Fenzhou to invade Hexi, captured Jingzhou, and occupied more than ten prefectures west of Fengxiang in Shaanxi and north of Fenzhou. Because they were too familiar with the route of the New Tang Dynasty, these two armies were overwhelmed, so they occupied Mukden in October of that year, and the troops were under the city of Chang'an.
Seeing that Chang'an City was about to be unsafe, the army that had fought everywhere and crushed the Anshi rebels into mud had already been transferred far away, and the imperial court had no power to fight back, and the saint fled to Shaanzhou for refuge under the protection of the eunuchs. The officials and people in Chang'an City also left one after another. "Liulang, you should also go! Take your daughter-in-law and Da Lang Erlang and them to hide, and come back when the matter settles. Mrs. Cui came to the county king's mansion and persuaded her bitterly.
She genuinely thinks about them. After Mu Jiaojiao's dystocia, her health has not yet improved. Now that there are two more pregnant women in the family, the situation is even more encouraging. Therefore, it is better to go out in advance to avoid it.
"Tell Da Lang Erlang and they take their aunt to hide! As a member of the imperial court, how can I, as a member of the imperial court, flee at this time? Moreover, I believe that Brother Guo will definitely be able to come back in time to relieve the siege of Chang'an!" Cui Pulang said.
When Mu Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately stood beside him. "I'm with you. ”
