Chapter 166: Lao Tzu's Son
The battle report from the border will soon be known to all kinds of people in Shaoliang City.
Then it will definitely be soon, and several different emotions will burst out in this Shaoliang City, but when these emotions are summed up, it will definitely be more joy than together, after all, this war with Chen Guo, Da Zhou has not been able to take the initiative from the beginning, if it weren't for the fact that Beiyan County has not been broken, I'm afraid the entire Da Zhou will not be like this.
Such a news, even ordinary people in the market know that it will be a turning point, even if the large peripheral army does nothing, it will definitely not be in a more critical situation than now.
Maybe there will be many people who really care about Xie Ying's life and death behind the war report, but for the generals who died in the war, most of the people are a little emotional, if they are really so sad that they don't know how to eat, and it is unrealistic to sleep and eat.
Even if that person is the Xie family's treasure tree, the most valued junior of the Xie family in Yanshi City, he is a well-deserved protagonist in this war report.
There may be tears, it must be the little ladies in Shaoliang City who have been thinking about Xie Ying.
But we all know that Xie Lang will not come back.
At dusk, there was some sunshine in Shaoliang City on the last day before the winter solstice, which made people feel a trace of warmth on the cold autumn day.
The important ministers of the court in Shaoliang City received the news before the people of Shaoliang City, and then they achieved a strange scene, there were three or two invitations from the Qingtan Wenchen who could not speak in the court on weekdays, and they were drunk in their respective mansions, and in the end they cried bitterly, looking up to the sky and shouting what God blesses the Great Zhou, saying that there is a providence in the underworld, the Great Zhou is not extinguished, and the country is long.
On the contrary, the real important ministers who have been speaking in the court for a long time have been surprisingly calm, and there has never been any news from the Liubu Shangshu Mansion since they received the news.
Even in the mansion of the Lord Zaiji, it was even more quiet and terrifying.
The attitude of the important ministers of the court and the thoughts of the people in the market should not be the same.
This strange situation lasted for more than ten days, until the important ministers of the temple got the second news.
That Xie Lao, who has lived in Yanshi City for many years, Xie Chenjun, the head of the Xie family, is going to Beijing in these two days.
The reputation is still not low among the government and the opposition, and the old sacrificial wine chose to come to Shaoliang City at this time, no matter who it is, they are a little worried, the last sentence of the war report is that Xie Ying does not know whether he is alive or dead, I am afraid that this is the reason why this old sacrificial wine came to Shaoliang City.
The Xie family's expectations for their own children Xie Ying are really not low at all, compared with the late-blooming Xie Lao Sacrificial Wine, Xie Ying became famous at a young age, and has already laid the tone, if there is no accident, when the old sacrificial wine dies, Xie Ying will be able to take over the banner of the Xie family and become the head of the Xie family of the new generation, but now, this child with high hopes has died.
If Xie Lao didn't stand up and say something, I'm afraid it would be really abnormal.
Therefore, after the news of Xie Lao's sacrificial wine going to Beijing came out, the important ministers of the temple looked at two places.
One is the Royal Palace.
The other is the Zaizhi Mansion.
In the entire Shaoliang City, only these two people can speak, and the rest of the people, how can they say more than half a sentence in front of the old sacrificial wine?
It's just that these two places are still quiet and terrifying.
But Xie Lao Sacrificial Wine has already walked a long way, and it is only eighty miles away from Shaoliang City.
Eighty miles away from this Shaoliang City, there is a small town, and in the afternoon of this day, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into this place.
The groom who drove the car had only one arm left, and a wine jug pinned to his waist, and he still had no problem driving with his only remaining right hand.
The carriage is luxurious, and people can know that it is a rich family at a glance.
Around this carriage, there were more than a dozen servants on horseback.
There are people of all ages.
The county magistrate of the small town had already gotten the news and knew that the old sacrificial wine was going to pass by here, originally thinking about the identity of the old sacrificial wine, and he would definitely not enter the town, so he just sent someone to watch at the entrance of the town and watch the Xie family's vehicle leave, but the old sacrificial wine suddenly changed his mind and entered the town, which caught him off guard and was a little more fortunate at the same time.
Who is the old sacrificial wine, after retiring from officialdom, who will be lucky enough to meet him?
Few!
When the carriage entered the town, it did not stop, and the groom drove to a restaurant in the town.
Under the arrangement of the county magistrate of the small town, intentionally or unintentionally, it was clear that the carriage with the old Xie sacrificial wine in the carriage was parked next to the street.
The white-haired Xie Chenjun walked out of the carriage and came to the front of the restaurant with the support of the one-armed groom.
Xie Chenjun looked at the restaurant and squinted.
The county magistrate on the side swallowed his saliva, he was very afraid that the old man would frown, if this was the case, it would not be the worst result, I was afraid that the old man would say a few words of reprimand, then for him at that time, it would be tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and it would not be a simple matter to think about climbing in the officialdom in the future.
This is still the old man who has faded out of the temple for many years, if he was still in the court, he was afraid that someone would immediately strip him of his official uniform and throw him out of the county office.
The Xie family in Yanshi City, in the Great Zhou, is a well-deserved famous family.
Fortunately, in the end, Xie Chenjun didn't talk nonsense, but slowly walked into the restaurant and found an inconspicuous seat to sit down.
Even the county order can only wait outside the restaurant, which makes the people in the small town stunned, this obedient, where did the big man come from to be so powerful?
After sitting down, the groom, who had only one hand left, poured a cup of tea for Xie Chenjun.
Xie Chenjun put his palm on the teacup, looked at the one-armed groom, and asked slowly, "Ying'er went to Huaiyang City privately from the army, why didn't you stop him?"
The horseman's expression remained unchanged, "I can't stop him, Ying'er has this thought, so no one can stop him." ”
Xie Chenjun's face was slightly cold, "Are you unable to stop or unwilling to stop?"
The groom looked strange and did not rush to speak.
Xie Chenjun frowned and said: "You must know, Ying'er is the next head of the family I picked, if there is no accident, he is the master of the Xie family, when the time comes, whether the Xie family will completely move from the rivers and lakes to the temple, or as always, I believe that Ying'er will have a good decision, so I am not worried about the future of the Xie family at all, but now that Ying'er is dead, you still watched him die!"
Ma Fu's face did not change, "Big brother, Ying'er is my son, and I cherish him more than my eldest brother." ”
Xie Chenjun said sharply: "Xie Wuyi, you still didn't stop him!"
Xie Wuyi, who was originally a great master of the rivers and lakes, sighed and didn't say anything, just untied the wine jug on his waist and drank a few sips of stuffy wine.
Drinking in front of Xie Chenjun was the first time for this great master who was addicted to alcohol.
Xie Chenjun squinted his eyes and said: "I don't have much to live, and everything that should be explained after death has been explained clearly, and there are others, it's not for me, a bad old man, to worry about, but you want to make these things out before my old man closes his eyes, am I really confused?"
Xie Chenjun's words were full of mockery.
Xie Wuyi, who is thirty years younger than Xie Chenjun, still says the same thing, "Ying'er is my son, and I cherish him more than my eldest brother." ”
Xie Chenjun's eyes were full of disgust when he looked at Xie Wuyi, he had presided over the Xie family for decades, I don't know how many ups and downs he had experienced, he thought that the intrigue of the ancestors no longer existed in his generation, Xie Shi's generation of long house two, he is the eldest brother, the second brother Xie Wuyi is thirty years younger than him, the two are really brothers, friends and brothers, under Xie Chenjun's arrangement, among the next generation, Xie Ying is outstanding, and he has long been the best candidate for the head of the family, and when he dies, Xie Ying will sit in that seat as a matter of course.
At that time, as long as Zhou Guo is still there, the Xie family will be a sure thing, and it will be better than now, but he didn't count one thing right.
Xie Wuyi's temperament.
He originally thought that his younger brother's temperament was as he wished, not fighting or grabbing, and it was not someone else who sat on the throne of the head of the family, or his eldest son, why not?
But when it came, he still lost a move.
Xie Chenjun, who has played many tricks in his life, has not paid attention to Xie Wuyi, who has never fallen behind, which is actually normal, but this insider suddenly made Xie Chenjun lose all the games with a move.
It still surprised Xie Chenjun.
In addition to the accident, it is painful.
The emperor's family is ruthless, everyone knows it in this world, but the big family is actually not much different, the disputes between the elder and the young, and the disputes between the concubines abound, just take Xie Chenjun as the head of the family for so many years, I don't know how many dissenting Xie family children have been dealt with, but no matter what, this old sacrificial wine has never doubted his brother once.
The great grandmaster who is famous in the rivers and lakes, Xie Wuyi, who has never said much in the temple.
And the reason why he didn't expect it was just because Xie Chenjun chose Xie Ying, the head of the family.
This thank you should be where the others are.
It's the son of the person in front of him.
said that the tiger poison does not eat children, why are you so hard-hearted?
The old man was very distressed.
The old man trembled and withdrew the hand that was covering the teacup, it was cold, the tea was cold, and the old guy's heart was cold.
To this day, in fact, the old man also admires his brother a little, but he can't tell how long he waited, and even the last shot was so appropriate.
Even Xie Chenjun couldn't find too many mistakes.
The only thing is the human heart.
If someone else goes to that Huaiyang City, you Xie Wuyi is indifferent, and it can probably be said that you have to do it.
The person who can go is either someone else, or your own son.
You don't even bother to stop it.
Not enough to say anything?
Xie Wuyi, who had drunk half a pot of wine, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, you should know that Ying'er is my son." ”
Xie Chenjun's eyes were gloomy.
Yes, since he is a son, where is the reason to sit on Lao Tzu's head?
