Better to live forever [Rebirth]

In the 20th year of Zhenyuan, Suichun.

After the news that the young master Zhu Dingbei was seriously injured by falling from a horse came back to the Hou Mansion, the female family members of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion were in chaos.

The old lady passed out immediately, but woke up soon.After all, she has experienced too much life and death of close relatives, but the years have finally made this lonely old lady feel timid.

My poor grandson is only nine years old.The old lady held back her tears and immediately wrote a handwritten letter: Let Yaosun go back to Beijing with his grandfather.

Life and death matter on the battlefield, originally, a mere fall from a horse would not cause them to report back to the Hou's mansion to cause worry.But Zhu Dingbei's situation this time is very dangerous, several times the military doctor said that he would not be able to survive.Old Hou Ye wiped away tears, and at the same time asked someone to inform his son, wife and eldest grandson to come back, and at the same time wrote a letter to inform his wife so that she would be mentally prepared.

Zhu Zhenliang and Zhu Zhengbei hurried back and saw the child moaning in pain with a flushed face burned on the bed, even if he was a man of iron blood, his eyes were red.

"Father, what's going on?"

Zhu Dingbei is the most lively. He grew up on horseback since he was a child, and he would never fall off the horse.Even if he fell, he knew how to protect himself. How could he become what he is now?

He immediately thought that someone had shot at his youngest son.

Old Master Hou also thought so, and sent someone to investigate immediately, but the results have not yet come out.He sighed, and without waiting to say anything, Zhu Zhengbei, who was silent while holding Brother's hand, stood up abruptly and rushed out.Zhu Zhenliang grabbed him quickly and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

"Father, it must be the fault of those Hu Nu, I will kill them to avenge my little brother!"

Zhu Zhenliang slapped him on the head bitterly, looking at his face with a stiff neck, he felt even more uncomfortable: "Your grandpa hasn't said anything yet, you are in a hurry."

Old Hou Ye was patting the back of his hand to appease his little grandson who was disturbed by the two loud voices, and turned his head and said, "Don't be arrogant." His rough fingers carefully touched the little grandson whose face was not as big as his slap. Unable to bear it, he looked away and asked, "Where's his mother?"

Zhu Zhenliang escorted his son to sit quietly, and replied: "Father, you know that she has a violent temper, so I stopped her from talking." I didn't expect the youngest son to look like this, but now we can't delay, in case the mother and son miss it The last side... He patted his eldest son on the head and told the lieutenant to come in loudly.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Madam's letters came in one after another. At that time, Zhu Dingbei had passed the critical moment of life and death, and his mind recovered.

Old Hou Ye read the simple letter from his wife and handed it to his son. After reading it, Zhu Zhenliang was also silent for a while.

After discussing with his wife, Zhu Zhenliang personally explained the reasons for each school to his youngest son. Seeing his son staring at him, he agreed with his mother's decision more and more in his heart.

This child is his heart and soul.

Several generations of their old Zhu's family have fought on the battlefield, and there must be a child who grows up safely. It really shouldn't be allowed to suffer such a baby.

Originally worried about his troublesome son, he disagreed. Unexpectedly, Zhu Dingbei, who had not recovered his voice and could not speak, looked at him for a long time and nodded emphatically.

After fighting the Northern Xianbei for ten years, it is only now that this humble barbarian has been subdued and surrendered.The Dajing court did not stop doing two things, and refused to accept the request to become a vassal state. After Xianbei was defeated, they immediately set up a prefectural capital in Northern Xianbei and erected a monument in the county seat, and took Northern Xianbei into its pocket.

Of course, governance after this was not as easy as a word, and turmoil still occurred from time to time, so the Zhu family army was sent to Xianbei to deter the country's prestige.

After Zhu's army was stationed for half a year, Emperor Zhenyuan arrived at the three armies with an edict.

Mingzhao: Marshal Zhu Chengyuan, the first-rank Marshal of the Marquis of Zhenbei, is unparalleled in righteousness and bravery, loyal to the monarch and defending the country.Gu Nianqi is old, and I feel ashamed, so I was ordered to return to Beijing to spend his old age in peace. He retained the title of Marshal of the Army and Horse, was granted the title of first-rank military marquis, erected a stone pillar of the town, and enjoyed the hereditary honor.

Another edict: Zhu Zhenliang, the loyal and brave general of the second rank, fought bloody battles on the battlefield and made great achievements.He was promoted to Marshal of the first-rank army and horses, and ordered to command the three armies.

Re-edict: Command the Generalissimo Zhu Chengyuan to hand over the military order Tiger Talisman to the Generalissimo Zhu Zhenliang.

In this way, the military power of Zhu's army stationed in Xianbei Mansion was transferred from the old Hou Ye to his son Zhu Zhenliang.

Of course they understood why, Zhu Chengyuan would not have been delayed in Xianbei Mansion if his grandson had not fallen off a horse suddenly and seriously injured.Now seeing that his grandson is still struggling to speak, but his health has improved, he brought his grandson back to Beijing non-stop.

After entering the gate of the capital, Zhu Chengyuan and Zhu Dingbei split into two groups, and ordered to escort their little grandson back to Zhenbeihou's mansion, while he himself went to the palace regardless of the dust and dust.

The carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady had been looking forward to it for a long time. At this time, she pushed away the little Wang who was supporting her, and walked forward quickly.

The curtain was lifted, and a nine-year-old boy with a yellow complexion but a thin physique walked out. The old lady took Zhu Dingbei into her arms, touched his thin back, and couldn't say a word while crying.

Xiao Wang and Lin followed from left to right, seeing the old lady losing her composure, she hurried forward and said: "Old lady, the young master is back, let's invite him back to the mansion quickly, we can't stop him outside the door."

Lin also said: "Madam, you can't shed tears on this happy day." There are so many people watching.

The two persuaded, the old lady touched Zhu Dingbei's face and smiled, and led the child to the house.

"Changsheng, I am grandma, do you remember grandma?"

It's heartbreaking to say the least.

The child's mother did not suffer less from following her son on the battlefield, and finally looked forward to this child in her thirties.Zhu Dingbei was born in northern Xinjiang and grew up on the battlefield. He grew up so big that the grandfather and grandson could only see each other when the father and son returned to Beijing every three years to report on their duties.The last time I saw her was two years ago, and she was really worried about her little grandson and her identity.

Zhu Dingbei looked up at her, resisted the churning emotions in his heart, invited her into the high hall and sat down, waved the corner of his robe and knelt down straight, grabbing the ground with his head.

"Longevity—"

The old lady moved, sat back holding the handkerchief, and accepted the gift.

Zhu Dingbei kowtowed three times before he straightened his back, looked up at her and said, "My grandson is unworthy, please pay respects to grandma."

"Good boy, good boy." The old lady quickly helped him up, and the two concubines looked at each other, and hurried forward to help, followed by the old lady, praising the child for his filial piety.Zhu Dingbei ignored the two of them, raised his hand and wiped the old lady's tears with the back of his hand, and his own eyes filled with tears.

After leaving in the past year, how could I have thought that I would be able to perform my filial piety in front of the old lady in my lifetime.

He looked at the old lady's face that was still lingering in blue hair, without showing any signs of aging, put aside all the twists and turns in his heart, and smiled knowingly: "Grandma, don't cry."

This really looks like a considerate little adult.

The old lady chuckled.She wiped her tears with her own hands, held her grandson's rough little hand, touched his yellow face distressedly, and couldn't help laughing: "You little devil." The two concubines also held their handkerchiefs to cover their lips and smiled. The sad atmosphere faded away.

"Your grandfather just sent a message saying that your voice is broken, but it seems to be better now."

Although the voice is hoarse, there is no problem with the sound.The military master who delivered the letter didn't explain clearly, which made her think...she really deserved to fight.

Zhu Dingbei's eyes darkened. When he woke up, he was eager to speak but couldn't make a sound. Later, he recovered and understood the current situation, but he didn't dare to open his mouth again. He was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't say. Come.

Xiao Wang came up and said: "The old ancestor must have been blessed. After seeing you, he dared not bother our young master with any illness or pain."

"Nonsense." The old lady spat, pulled Zhu Dingbei to sit next to her, and carefully asked him about his health and the hardships of the journey. After Lin reminded her, she reluctantly let go of Zhu Dingbei.The maid led the young master to wash off the dust, carefully twisted his hair, and hurriedly brought him to the main house for food.

After dinner, the two concubines were dismissed. The grandparents and grandchildren didn't speak for a while, and the servant girl came in happily and reported: "Ma'am, Master Hou is back, and he has already dismounted in front of the door."

Old Hou Ye walked fast, and the servant girl had already stepped into the house as soon as she finished speaking.

He shook his wife's hand, looked at each other for a moment, and said solemnly: "It's been hard for you these years." Now that he stays in Beijing, it can be regarded as a little compensation for this wife who has been with him for most of his life.

The old lady's eyes became hot.

The old Hou Ye laughed loudly, put the imperial decree in her hand, grabbed Zhu Dingbei with his big hand, and patted his ass: "Stinky boy, you can't talk when you see me? "After entering the gate, Zhu San, the housekeeper, has already told him the great news.

"Grandpa."

Zhu Dingbei yelled with a smile, and hugged his sweaty neck tightly with both hands, causing the old Hou Ye to pat his butt again happily: "You little bastard, you scared me and your father. "

The old lady was full of sighs after reading the imperial decree. Seeing it, she hurriedly put away the yellow silk and said angrily, "Old man, be careful, you won't be able to pay for the damage of ten of my good grandsons."

"What's the matter, the woman is just making a fuss, he grew up on a horse, and I haven't seen how expensive his butt is." Even though he said so, he stopped embarrassingly, and carefully put Zhu Dingbei back on the ground.

The old Hou Ye squeezed his little hand with his big hand, sat down and poured a pot of tea, wiped off the water stains on his beard, and said: "Grandpa just invited you an imperial decree, from now on you will be the grandson of the Hou family, When Lao Tzu dies, this Hou Mansion will be yours, and your father will have no share."

Zhu Dingbei was surprised that in his previous life, it was his elder brother who had injured his legs and could no longer go to the battlefield... he still frowned and nodded, thinking about the troubled times.

Old Hou Ye squeezed his little face in a funny way, this brat seemed to understand.The old lady couldn't help but blame, "How can you talk to Changsheng, you old bastard with a cannonball mouth." Even if she said that she had a scholarly family, but after being married to this old man for decades, her speech became rough.

Old Hou Ye laughed.After hearing the old lady urging him to eat and wash, he slapped his thigh and shouted to the housekeeper Zhu Laosan to come in: "Please bring the imperial physician in."

When asking for the seal, the old Hou Ye said something distressing to his grandson, Emperor Zhenyuan cared about the Zhu family very much, and immediately sent the imperial physician back to the mansion with him.His speed of marching and fighting is incomparable to ordinary people. After the family talked for a while, the old doctor barely caught up. When he was invited in, he even raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his face.

The old lady hastily ordered tea to be served, moved a stool and asked him to sit down.

Examining the pulse carefully, the old doctor looked puzzled, and switched hands again, only to feel that the child's pulse was rapid and depressed, as if he was depressed and worried.He also saw that his eyes were clear and bright, and he was a little more agile than ordinary children. Thinking about the cause and effect, he said that he was frightened when he fell off a horse when he was young, which caused his mind to be out of order.

After carefully prescribing the prescription, the old doctor said: "Master Hou, madam, please don't worry. Young Master Hou's body is strong, and the wounds on his body have already healed, and it will be fine with two more medicines. However, the child's spirit is stronger than that of the child. My lord is fragile, I'm afraid I was quite frightened this time, I will prescribe a prescription for calming the nerves, it will take a few more days, and the soup will be broken after the god returns to the Lord."

The old lady felt even more distressed when she heard the words, and there was no objection.After carefully asking the imperial physician about the things that the imperial physician needs to pay attention to, he sent him out.

The old Hou Ye did not have such delicate feelings as his wife, but thinking of his grandson's life-threatening appearance at that time, he couldn't help touching Zhu Dingbei's small face, patted his head and said, "I'll see if you dare to do this in the future." naughty."

He said so, but he already believed in his heart that his grandson's injury this time was not an accident. He Zhu Jiaerlang was full of courage, how could he lose his soul in fright because he fell off the horse.

But after searching for so long, there is still no concrete clue.

There are too many suspects.

The Xianbei tribe who did not want to surrender, the Hu tribe foreign enemies who only wanted to provoke Dajing and Xianbei to fight again, the cancerous tumors that had not been eradicated in the army, and even... the people in the sky had motives to attack children.

Forget it, now that he voluntarily pulls out his tiger teeth and guards Shangjing, can't he protect his little grandson's life?
