[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

As soon as Tu Chang, brothers Tu Xu and brother-in-law Xing Cheng returned to the palace, a young eunuch came to announce that they were going to see Tu Yuanyi.

Tu Yuanyi is practicing martial arts in the back garden. He insists on practicing martial arts every day after he has dealt with important military and political affairs.

"My son/feather slave see father/emperor!" The three green youths knelt on the ground on one knee.

Tu Yuanyi received his work, put the sword back into its sheath with a slap, lightly made people get up, walked to the pavilion and sat down, and the youngsters followed suit.

Tu Yuanyi took his seat and sighed: "Let you go to the grassroots level more and start from the small things, but I heard that you have been idle all day long."

This sentence was spoken to his two sons, and Tu Chang and Tu Xu hurriedly bowed their hands to admit their mistake.

"My son is unworthy, and my son knows his mistake."

Yu Nu explained: "Brother-in-law, that... we are not idle."

Tu Yuanyi took a deep breath and said, "If you don't like to go to the grassroots, I also said that you can go to the confidential room to practice, and you can get familiar with military affairs as soon as possible..."

Tu Yuanyi still hopes that they can go to the front line to see, civil service is not the first choice of princes.

Yu Nu said: "Brother-in-law, we really have something important to do."

Yu Nu looked around, the eunuchs and maids were far away, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to report this matter to my brother-in-law, otherwise I won't be able to do it later."

"What's the matter?"

Yu Nu briefly explained what Zhao Xi had exposed, and Tu Yuanyi's face did not change color, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and his light shone slightly.

"Is there any other evidence?"

Yu Nu said: "It's just that they didn't, so I slowly got them hooked up, and I wanted to find out. I also inquired, and those few companies are not small in the market, and they are all very rich, just because Being a merchant is not considered a gentry. But the Wu family has some relationship with the Jiliao Governor’s Mansion, and the Li family not only has a relationship with the Wu family, but also has business in the south of the Yangtze River. Anyway, these families have caravans, and the scale is not small.”

Tu Yuanyi's index finger lightly rubbed the Yuban finger on his thumb, and remained silent.

If it is true, these traitors are really repeated.As Xiuxiu said, there is no power in this world that can stop capital.However, even if industry and commerce are to be encouraged in the future, the premise is that no other regime can threaten Dazhou.

Tu Yuanyi looked at Yu Nu's face that looked six points like Xing Xiuyan's, with a hint of yuppiness, but he was young after all.

Tu Yuanyi said: "How can you investigate? Facing those old foxes, you just don't know why they were swallowed."

Tu Chang and Tu Xu were also unconvinced, and Tu Chang said: "Father, don't look down on us like this. If they are really traitors, they will always contact the north, and then they will wipe out this group. If you and your mother took down Fusheng If it’s the same as a bank, that’s great.”

Tu Yuanyi thought for a while, and said: "Whether this matter is true or not, you must first keep your mouth shut."

"Yes!"

Tu Yuanyi looked at his sons and said, "If the two of you don't know how to act, you shouldn't follow Yu Nu."

With such age, appearance, and temperament, one can guess one or two at first sight.Nephews look like uncles, especially Tu Xu and Yu Nu have three and four quarters.

Tu Xu said: "I look very similar, just like the main character in the mother's story. I lost a bet with my uncle before and learned a lot. Father, don't worry."

With a ping sound, Tu Yuanyi put the lid on the teacup, and cast a cold glance at his youngest son, because he is the youngest son and will not be a prince in the future. The pressure is not as great as that of Tu Chang, but he will be more mischievous.

Tu Yuanyi thought to himself that he didn't know if it was true or not, but in case it was true, he couldn't let it go easily, Yu Nu was naughty and clever, but there was no one in his hands.Several of Ouyang Lei's apprentices are not bad in martial arts and brains, and now they are in Yongping Mansion again, so they can be transferred for use.

Tu Yuanyi said: "Let's discuss this later, Chang'er and Xu'er don't want to spoil things by being in the limelight."

Tu Chang said: "Father, my son is not doing it for the limelight. I have a truce throughout the winter. I also want to achieve some results as soon as possible and improve morale."

Tu Yuanyi took a deep breath and said, "Return the results of the battle. I tell you, your mother will arrive in a few days, and I can't write down the experience of accompanying the army in the Northern Expedition. Don't ask me."

Yu Nu was surprised: "Sister is coming?"

Yu Nu's legs couldn't help but soften, he was not afraid of his father, mother, or the emperor's brother-in-law, but he was afraid of his sister.He still remembers that when he was 11 years old, he was so mischievous that he stunned Taifu Zhang in Shangshufang. His sister punished him for confinement and had to dig a hundred earthworms in the flower beds of the imperial garden. When he was 12 years old, he broke a Ru kiln vase, and my sister was very distressed, and then let him stand in the sun with the bowl on his head in a military posture for a long time.

Tu Yuanyi nodded: "That's right, so you should be more careful and don't cause trouble again."

"Are sister and Pan'er coming too?"

Tu Yuanyi: "Come here. I thought you were free, so I watched and prepared my sister's room. Although there are eunuchs and maids here, but Yuanyuan is new here, as an elder brother, naturally she has to do her best."

Tu Chang said: "If the father and the emperor don't explain it, the sons and ministers will also save it."

……

Xing Xiuyan led an army of [-] to the north, but he did not take his queen's chariot or put on a ceremonial guard, but rode A Jin all the way to the north.

Tu Yuanyuan also rides a horse most of the time, and rides a car a small part of the time, because she is too young.

On the contrary, most of the civilian female soldiers and female officials took carriages and marched all the way northward. In just one month, the army had already arrived in Jiliao.

For comfort and convenience, Xing Xiuyan wore a blue embroidered phoenix and arrow-sleeved Hupao and a golden hat with a large brim. He was already exhausted from marching for a month.

At this time, the emperor's palace was not built inside the pass, but outside the pass. The implication is that it is against the outside, and most of Liaoning belongs to the Great Zhou except for the north.Tu Yuanyi went to Shanhaiguan to greet him in person, and Xing Xiuyan got off his horse and led the generals to pay homage. He brought the army with him.

Tu Yuanyi stepped forward to pull her up, and the couple hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and they couldn't help but looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"Queen... Thank you for your hard work..." Tu Yuanyi looked at the dusty look on her face, and stroked her carefully.

Xing Xiuyan said: "I am well-clothed and well-fed, and I dare not claim hard work. But the emperor, is the winter in Liaodi cold?"

Tu Yuanyi smiled slightly: "With you thinking about it, I won't feel cold anymore."

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help hugging her, and he couldn't lose his composure, so he let go of her after a while and wiped her tears.

Another children came to visit. They were twelve or thirteen years old, which is the time when they grow up the fastest. Seeing you again after such a long time, they have changed a lot.

When Tu Yuanyi saw his daughter, he couldn't help thinking that when he first met Xiuxiu in this life, she was at that age.

Tu Yuanyi stroked his daughter's head: "Good boy, she's a big girl."

Seeing the two sons, Xing Xiuyan got close to her, but she still remembered that this is not a good place to reminisce about the old days.

Tu Yuanyi pulled his wife away and walked towards the imperial chariot, but Xing Xiuyan looked up at the majestic and majestic Shanhaiguan city wall, even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help being shocked.

"The number one pass in the world, it really deserves its reputation!"

Tu Yuanyi sighed: "In this life, you and I can guard the gate of the country together, but the enemy is outside, it is not in vain."

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "In this way, is the emperor satisfied?"

Tu Yuanyi said: "I just hope that I will not be separated from you for many years, and I will be satisfied with everything."

The emperor returned to the palace in a mighty manner, while the army led by the queen entered the camp according to the arrangement of the Ministry of War, and began adaptive training.

It is spring, and it is the time when the north is about to move, and it is time to actively prepare for war.

The reunion of the emperor's family was full of joy, and the emperor didn't want to waste time entertaining outsiders. He had a family reunion dinner and brought the queen back to the room early. The love was endless, and I won't elaborate.

……

Tu Chang, Tu Xu, and Yu Nu got up early to practice kungfu as usual, but when they went to the training ground, they saw that Tu Yuanyuan and Xiao Pan'er were already there.

The sword moves they were practicing were not fancy, but the movements of their bodies were incomparably harmonious.

The three cobblers knew that they practiced the fast sword that the queen was good at.

They have also heard that when the queen was in trouble, countless people died under her sword, so this set of sword techniques is a murder sword technique.

I heard that Tu Yuanyuan and the others also killed the enemy, watching them practice swords now, I always feel that it is different from when I was a child, and they have more murderous aura.

Killing someone is not a good thing, but killing an enemy is something that the two-year-old middle school boy who dreams of a passionate hero has a little yearning for. Of course, when they meet each other directly, they may not feel happy.

"Emperor brother, uncle, good morning!"

"Your Highness, Uncle, good morning!"

The two girls greeted them first, and the three cobblers also greeted them back.

The three cobblers looked at the girls with their long hair braided, wearing yellow and green narrow-sleeved clothes, trousers of the same material underneath, and a pair of khaki Martin cowhide boots.

Yu Nu asked curiously: "Is this the military uniform of the Sichuan Army?"

Tu Yuanyuan said proudly: "This is a camouflage uniform. It is worn during combat drills. It is more convenient than the robes of your imperial army."

Tu Xu said: "The color is quite ugly, but thanks to your pretty clothes, the clothes are not ugly."

Xiao Paner said: "This color is dirt-resistant and easy to hide."

Tu Chang said: "I still think the uniforms of the Imperial Army look better."

Tu Yuanyuan disagreed: "What's the use of looking good, what's more important is being practical!"

Tu Chang said: "Why are the clothes of the forbidden army not practical?"

Tu Yuanyuan said: "There are experiments and comparisons, and it is faster to wear the clothes of the new army than the clothes of the imperial army. When the battle is urgent, the faster the better, and our new army uniforms are not only equipped with large pockets, but also Equipped backpacks are more convenient than the imperial army to carry their belongings when marching."

Xiao Paner said: "There is also the engineering shovel just released by our new army, which is also a new proud work of Chengdu military industry. It can not only cut people, but also shovel soil, and chop vegetables. If you are in the wild, you can also barbecue and heat dry food." .”

The three cobblers thought to themselves: Is there such a strange thing?Are you sure you use the same weapon for chopping and grilling?Is that meat still edible?

Tu Yuanyuan said: "There is not a lot of equipment for this thing, not everyone has it now."

Tu Chang, Tu Xu, and Yu Nu felt a bit of arrogance in the words of the younger sisters, as if they looked down on them, and felt depressed.

Tu Chang said, "Do you have any?"

Tu Yuanyuan said: "Of course we have! Although only part of the reconnaissance brigade has been assigned, what is our relationship? I personally wrote to the people in Chengdu Military Industry, can they send us two?"

Tu Xu said: "Oh, look at you, this thing is more powerful than a cannon? We went to the fire/weapon camp brought by the fourth uncle for training. No matter what kind of cannon, I have lit it before."

Tu Yuanyuan asked, "Are you sure? How many enemies have you killed?"

Tu Xu: ...

Xiao Pan'er tilted her head: "Your Highness, could it be that you only let go of empty guns?"

Tu Yuanyuan: "No way, Brother Huang?"

Tu Xu couldn't stand it any longer, and Tu Chang smoothed things over: "This... isn't it that I didn't catch up?"

Tu Yuanyuan said, "What kind of luck are you guys? We were apprentices in the artillery during the Battle of Liangshan. I have tried all the rare new models such as the [-]-type cannon and the [-]-type mortar..."

Xiao Pan'er said: "We also tried the hand/grenade/bomb, last time in Shenglong City..." Xiao Pan'er was talking about the fact that they secretly hid the weapons and they turned out to be of great use.

Seeing the different expressions of the three cobblers, Tu Yuanyuan asked, "Uncle, Brother Huang, what did you do in Jiliao for a year?"

The Three Stooges: ...

Hold on, hold on!
