Linzhi

When he got home, He Zhan didn't even bother to wash up, changed his clothes, and went to sleep as soon as he touched the bed, unaware of the passing of the sun and moon outside.

He finally opened his eyes slowly when he felt the faint voice of the voice in his ear.

"Goro, you're finally awake!" Auntie He Jia came in just in time, holding a food box with an aroma in her hand. "If we continue to sleep, we will have to ask the doctor to come and take a look."

"Who is talking outside?" He Zhan supported his head and sat up slowly, feeling that his limbs were weak and unable to use his strength-this was a sign of sleeping for a long time.

He Jia put down the food box, and He Zhan saw that there was soup, shepherd's purse dumplings, and meat soup.There is not only minced meat in the meat soup, but also finely chopped coriander floating on the surface. , otherwise it will not appear on the dinner table.

"Where did this come from?" He Zhan asked.

He Jia lowered his voice: "Sima Yun sent a lot of food!"

He Zhan raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when He Jia hurriedly gestured to Sima Yun to be outside.

He Jia: "Father isn't here, so eldest brother and third brother came out to entertain him."

He Zhan also lowered his voice: "Father didn't see him on purpose, right?"

He Jia smiled narrowly and made a face at him, and He Zhan understood.

He was also hungry, so he picked up his spoon and started eating without asking any more questions.

In the outer room separated by a wall, He Mu and He Rong were sitting on the floor, facing Sima Yun, governor of Fangzhou.

In the past, people like Sima Yun would never come to the door in person, let alone sit here facing the two juniors of the He family.But now, there was no trace of displeasure on his face, instead he was smiling extremely happily.

"I didn't expect He Langjun to be sick. It can be seen that the city guards are really tired. I heard that Zhushan was able to survive this time. The He family has made great contributions. I have already gone to the imperial court to ask for your credit. I think there will be an answer in a few days."

Hermus said politely: "Thank you, Ambassador, I am very grateful."

He Rong said indifferently: "Thank you for your envoy. If Marquis Wuwei hadn't come to help, I'm afraid we two brothers wouldn't be able to sit here to receive your envoy."

If He Zhan or Yang Jun were here, they could immediately see that He Mu and He Rong were playing a bad face and a bad face.

Sima Yun's face froze, and his smile almost couldn't be maintained.

Thinking about him being the majestic governor of the state, he has been in Fangzhou for several years, and he is flattered everywhere he goes. When did he become so reduced to watching the faces of two children?

He Mu lightly reprimanded: "How could Sanlang talk like that? If we hadn't won the battle in Zhushan, even if the envoy wanted to visit him, he wouldn't be able to come. In the end, I have to thank the imperial court for his grace, as well as Wuwei Hou Shenwei, the siege of Zhushan. can be solved."

Sima Yun came to Zhushan because he wanted to see Zhang Tao. After all, he did not send troops to aid Zhushan, so he could easily be held accountable for his dereliction of duty. However, he came here in vain. The county magistrate Tan Jin told him that Zhang Tao had already led his troops to go to the capital. Yong pursued the rebels.

The next best thing to do is Sima Yun wanted to intercede with Zhang Tao through He Tai. After all, the heroic performance of the He family in defending the city this time is obvious to all. As long as the emperor still has a trace of father-son affection for the eldest son, He Tai's family returned to Beijing. It's just a matter of time.

Unexpectedly, the He family told He Tai that he was overtired and bedridden, unable to see guests, and sent his two sons out to see him.

He Rong said lightly: "Oh, what elder brother said is true. The imperial court must have considerations from the imperial court. If you didn't come to rescue Zhushan that day, maybe it was because of the imperial court's order. Don't act rashly. I made a slip of the tongue, and please make your lord A lot, don't worry about it."

Sima Yun was too lazy to deal with the two children, so he immediately got up to say goodbye and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left with his front foot, He Tai's back foot came out from the inside.

It was just a wall away, and he had listened to it a lot. Now he relieved his anger, but he was also slightly worried: "After all, Sima Yun is the governor of a state. If he speaks too outrageously, wouldn't it be a good thing?"

He Mu: "Father, don't worry, you haven't come out yet, and Marquis of Wuwei and County Magistrate Tan will both write down the matter of father swearing to the death to defend the city and not fall into the prestige of the He family. Your Majesty will definitely let us go back soon. of."

He Tai sighed: "You still don't understand your grandfather too well. If his heart is really hardened, no one in the world can match him."

Almost at the same time as He Tai, Sima Yun, who was in the carriage, also sneered bitterly: "Since the day they were deposed as common people, do they think they have any hope of going back? Ignorant children, dare to fight against me?" Arrogant in front of you!"

The aide said: "After all, Mr. He Shu is the eldest son of His Majesty today. Father and son are blood relatives. Besides, Mr. He Shu has made such a great contribution, so he should be able to pass it by?"

Sima Yun: "You don't understand. It is precisely because of His Majesty's deep love for the old prince and his son that when the Bingshen rebellion case happened, he hated He Tai so much. When the incident happened, I was also in the capital. Although occupying the title of the eldest son, His Majesty has never treated him with special favor. He Tai's biological mother was just a court lady who died early, so what if they were allowed to return to the capital? To put it bluntly, he Even if we go back to Beijing, we are still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from that seat, not to mention absolutely impossible, it is absolutely hopeless."

In this way, you will only say it when you face your confidant.

The aide said: "According to what you said, there is no need for us to make friends with He Shuren's family at all?"

Sima Yun: "In the past few years in Fangzhou, I planned to not embarrass them or ask them questions, and each of them lived in peace, but who knew that something like Zhushan happened halfway... Well, I will write a letter by myself later, you go there Capital city, let me walk through His Royal Highness King Qi's door, if His Majesty wants to hold me accountable, please ask him to make a difference on your behalf."

Staff should go.

Sima Yun sneered again: "He San is a cripple, yet he still dares to show his face to me. Does he think that if he bothers to please his father, the future will be smooth? His biological mother is humble, and she is charged with such a crime. No matter how much he has done in his life, his efforts will be in vain!"

……

Although he was disdainful of He Tai's family, Sima Yun still made two preparations: on the one hand, Shangshu, tearful, and emotionally explained why he didn't send troops to rescue Shangyong and Zhushan, and clarified for himself, At the same time, he ordered people to rush to the capital with generous gifts to visit the important officials of the court including King Qi; Having reached the age of marriage, they should think about lifelong events and choose a lot of innocent Xiaojiabiyu for the two of them.

Not only Sima Yun, but also in Fangzhou, especially in Zhushan County, anyone with a bit of reputation and ability came to visit. He Tai was very interested at first, and experienced the thrill of being praised again, but soon he couldn't take it anymore He Song hastily asked He Song to thank the guests behind closed doors, and hide himself quietly.

Even so, large and small gifts were still piled up in the corners of the He family, Yuan Shi and the others were a little soft when they just opened the presents.

This time there was no need for his sons to persuade him, He Tai took the initiative to decline the marriage proposal proposed by Sima Yun. The reason was that although he was only a commoner now, he was still His Majesty's son after all, and the marriage should be reported to His Majesty first, so that he could be an old man. It's the decision. If the old man says he can marry, then it's not too late to say so.

He Mu was very pleased with this, he thought it would take a lot of talking to dispel his father's idea of ​​a sequel.

"Father, since Zhushan was rescued, Sima Yun could not escape the suspicion of dereliction of duty. I am afraid he has no good intentions towards us. You could not be more wise to reject this proposal."

He Mu said to his father, glanced out of the corner of his eye, and saw He Rong smiling, as if he had seen through his mind.

"Sanlang, what are you laughing at?" He Xiu wondered.

He Rong clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly: "I laugh that Sima Yun has brought a lot of food, so we can have a big meal at night."

"I can't hold you to death!" He Mu was annoyed.

He Rong couldn't help laughing again.

He Xiu looked puzzled and wondered what kind of riddle they were playing.

However, He Tai seemed to have been reminded: "Speaking of which, Erlang and Sanlang should have gotten married two years ago, but we were in a difficult situation at that time, and no one came to propose marriage. After all, there are very few people who fall in love with each other like your eldest brother and sister-in-law." At least, after this incident, if any of your daughters is your favorite, as long as you are innocent, you can tell Weifu, Weifu asks a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, if the status is higher, it is not a bad idea to invite Tan county magistrate to come forward."

He Xiu was used to wielding knives and guns, so he was a little embarrassed to hear about his marriage: "Father, I don't need to worry, let's talk to Saburo first!"

He Tai: "What nonsense are you talking about? Brothers, brothers, naturally come in order. If you don't discuss it, how can the brothers below you talk about marriage?"

Si Lang He Xi couldn't help but said: "Father is right, second brother, hurry up!"

He Tai laughed angrily: "Your second and third brothers are not in a hurry yet, but you are in a hurry first, right?"

Everyone laughed, even He Jia couldn't help laughing and bent over.

He Xi scratched his head and blushed, not daring to say any more.

……

Autumn ends and winter starts, winter goes and spring comes.

After the Battle of Zhushan, the status of the He family has risen, but there has been no news from the capital. He Tai has been full of expectations, gradually disappointed, and began to worry about gains and losses. Every time he sees someone coming to the door, he is overjoyed. When he was an envoy, he was instantly lost again. This kind of scene happened a few times, and the He family got used to it.

What makes people laugh and cry is that when the war was fought, in order to boost morale, He Rong even asked He Xi to invite Huang Banxian, and even came up with some tricks for divination through his mouth. On the contrary, his reputation became more and more prominent, even people from Fangling heard the news and came to ask him for a fortune-telling.

He Tai was also convinced, and asked He Xi to ask Huang Banxian to figure out whether they could return to Beijing. Although He Rong didn't ask, judging from He Tai's reaction, the result seemed to be pretty good.

Contrary to the unpredictable fate of the He family, Zhang Tao's war progressed quite smoothly.

Not only did the imperial army go all the way to Jinzhou, but also in the spring of the year, Zhang Tao went all out to take down Xichengfu, the capital of Jinzhou, and captured Le Bi alive.Since then, Golden State has recovered.

However, without Le Bi, there is still Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu is not Le Bi, he is more difficult to deal with than Le Bi.

At the end of March, Qin Guogong Pei Wuyang and Xiao Yu fought in Lingzhou.

Although Xiao Yu won a small victory, he did not hoard troops in Lingzhou. Instead, he took the initiative to withdraw his troops from Yangzhou, Lizhou and other places after extensive raids. Except for one Fengzhou, he no longer occupied the east of Shannan, but instead shrunk. The strength of the army will consolidate the sphere of influence in Longyou Dao.

When the news arrived, everyone was both happy and worried.

Happily, Xiao Yu retreated to Longyou Dao, and could rest for the time being.

What is worrying is that Xiao Yu's actions are undoubtedly for the purpose of stabilizing his power. If he doesn't extinguish his flame now and let it grow stronger in the future, it will only become a serious problem and it will be even more difficult to deal with.

The author has something to say: a small theater that has nothing to do with the text

He Zhan: Big brother and third brother really have a tacit understanding.

He Jia: I seem to smell vinegar.

He Zhan: I am a declarative sentence!

He Jia: Oh.
