The husband's son-in-law

Li Zhaoxi asked the Grand Tutor of the palace for a few days off, and even his friends refused to invite him to have a drink at the house, and they couldn't say what they promised before, "My father is back, I don't want to go out to play, wait You came to my house to play during the Chinese New Year, didn’t you like the set of glazed ornaments before, I gave it to you, and I should apologize for breaking the appointment this time.”

"That's great, I won't be polite." Li Chaosi raised his chin and said, she still made money.

Xiao Hei looked envious at the side, Li Zhaoxi took a look, rubbed Xiao Hei's head with his hands, and said: "You have it too, don't be envious." Before Xiao Hei could speak, he continued to laugh and said, "Uncle Xiaoshu I went to see Uncle Yan, and I will come back this year as I am appointed during the Chinese New Year."

"Really? Will you really come back? Big brother, do you know something? Did my dad say it in the letter he wrote to uncle?" Xiao Hei asked a series of questions.

Dad didn't come back for the New Year last year, not even for the wedding of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, will he come back this year?

Li Zhaoxi said: "I thought about it myself." Seeing Xiao Hei's small face disappointed, he couldn't help but analyze carefully, and said: "You think, Uncle Yan has been away from Beijing for two years, right? He didn't come back for the New Year holidays or the big happy event. It's because Uncle Xiaoshu is not around, who is the boss in your family?"

"Of course it's Dad." Xiao Hei didn't want to say it, but he was a little happy after he finished speaking, and said, "If Dad misses us, he should be able to ask Dad to come back, right?"

Li Zhaoxi can't guarantee it, but he thinks it should.

"I'm just guessing. If you fail, you come to me. You can choose whatever you like in my yard."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei's eyes rolled brightly, and he said distressedly: "Big brother, you said this is embarrassing me, I don't know how to choose."

"Come on, you definitely want your father and father to come back, everything else comes next." Li Zhaoxi knocked Xiao Hei on the head, "Let's go, I'm going home."

Xiao Hei also learned the mantra of Big Brother, waved his hands and shouted goodbye.

Within a day, Li Zhouzhou arrived in the capital.

Li's mansion was washed and cleaned up and down, Li Zhaoxi was dressed up, and when he heard the news from the door, he hurried out of the mansion, his servants prepared the horses early, Li Zhaoxi walked out of the yard, and met the same A powdered dad.

The father and son met each other, both beaming.

"Let's go." Gu Zhao saw that Li Zhaoxi was also a fan, and he didn't care about the child imitating him, with a smile on his face, "Your father is at the gate of the city, hurry up."

The beads in Li Zhaoxi's high ponytail were dancing and dancing, which showed that he was in a happy mood.

Mr. Gu Ge and his only brother got on their own horses. The weather was cold, and the two of them were dressed in fox fur. The horseshoe trotted up.

The more you go in the direction of the gate of the capital, there are more pedestrians, and the speed of the two horses is slower.Some people recognized him and gave way one after another, and some secretly looked at Li Zhaoxi on horseback.

Rumor has it that the Du brother from Gu Ge's hometown looks handsome and behaves neatly like a man. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation. He is really different from the little brother raised in a boudoir.

The team led by the father and son merged with the returning Loei motorcade.

Gu Zhao got off the horse first, Li Zhaoxi was a little slow, and saw that Dad had already held Dad's hand to talk, so he couldn't help but hurried over, squeezed in, raised a smiling face, and called obediently: "Daddy, Fufu misses you~ "The sound is floating.

"Father can miss Fufu too." Li Zhouzhou touched Fubao's cheek, thinking all over his eyes.

Gu Zhao said: "Zhou Zhou, I came first, I can also miss Zhou Zhou~"

Under the public, Li Zhouzhou restrained his emotions, just looked at his husband, his face was a little hot when he was looked at by the passion and love in his eyes, the couple had been married for many years, and he seldom blushed and shy, and now they have been separated for a long time When I saw it, it was like returning to my childhood.

"I miss you too." Li Zhouzhou restrained himself and said tenderly.

Gu Zhao had a lot of words to say here, so he finally said, "Let's go home and talk about it."

Li Zhaoxi followed closely.

Arriving at Li Mansion, it was very lively. Li Da hadn't seen Zhou Zhou for a long time, and he had been guarding the vase gate leading to the inner courtyard. When he saw Zhou Zhou coming back, he looked him up and down, his eyes were red——

"Father, I'm back safe and sound."

Li Da: "I'm thinner, I can't eat well outside, and I'm darker."

"Father, it looks just right to me." Gu Zhao said.

Li Da laughed and said: "You can see what Zhou Zhou is like. You can do it when you come back. Come to the house to warm up. It's freezing on the way, right? This year's winter is early..."

The whole family sat in the living room and couldn't finish talking. The room was warm with a stove. When the servants came to report that the hot water was ready, Gu Zhaoxian said: "Then wait for a while, I will take care of Zhou Zhou to wash up. Later we The family eats the pot."

"I'm going too!" Before Li Zhaoxi finished speaking, he was pushed back to his seat by his father's slap, and he couldn't help curling his lips and said, "Father is stingy."

"How old are you, call yourself Fufu really a child, and I'll just serve your father to wash up."

When Li Zhaoxi looked at his grandfather, Li Da smiled and grabbed the crispy peanut candy for Fufu, coaxing his grandson and saying, "Hey, let's eat candy, Fufu won't go."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Li Zhaoxi didn't really want to get angry, but the child's temper was deliberately played for fun. Grandpa coaxed him, so he happily ate peanut candy and said vaguely: "It must be too late to eat the pot." .”

Li Da hummed a ditty and was also cheerful, what's the rush, the children are already home.

After Li Zhouzhou washed and changed into new clothes, it was dark again when he returned to the main hall. Gu Zhao pretended to be natural and said: "I said that it gets dark early in winter, this is normal, and it's not for washing. Long delay..."

Gu Ge really has no silver 300 taels here.

The grandpa and grandson chewed on peanuts, one sang a ditty and the other hummed softly, so they wouldn't expose someone.

Two carbon fire clay stoves were put on, with copper pots on top of them, and they were bubbling. One pot was made of sauerkraut, the other pot was made of bone broth, and a plate of thin lamb, venison, etc. Meat, fish fillets, as well as frozen tofu, bean curd, various dried mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, radish, etc.

The dipping material is a sesame bowl, and the bone broth scalds the mutton, which is full of mellow aroma.

Li Zhouzhou likes to eat bone soup dipped in sesame sauce. Gu Zhao’s taste is always a bit heavier—there is no chili at this time, and the sauerkraut pot is seasoned with ginger and garlic, which is a bit spicy. I love to eat bone soup pot.

"Why do I think the bone broth tastes better than the sauerkraut?"

Li Da thought to himself, do you like to eat bone soup? You really like to eat with Zhou Zhou.

Forget it.

"...Father, you are really nasty." Li Zhaoxi couldn't bear it and said.

Gu Zhao: "I just told your father, go to the hot spring Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs in winter, if you talk about it, I won't take you."

"Hey, I'm also disgusting, it's good to be disgusting, dear." Li Zhaoxi immediately changed his tone.

Li Zhouzhou smiled and said, "Don't scare the child."

"Okay, listen to you."

Gu Shoufu really adjusted the time for five days. The family went to the hot spring village in the suburbs. They wanted to call Dabai and his wife and Xiao Hei. Facing the family, Gu Zhao, as an elder, naturally cared about the younger generation.

As for the Zheng family, Gu Zhao thought about it and still didn't call, it was indeed a little far away.

As a result, Li Zhaoxi hadn't passed the message before, Yan Jinxin and Liu Shu came back first, and now the Yan Mansion is also bustling, but Dabai, who has always been prudent, has a bit of a boyish heart at this time, not to mention Xiao Hei, who is happy and happy. The cheap swish deliberately provoked his father.

Liu Shu also thought that the child would fail, so he slapped him on the shoulders first, Xiao Hei was very happy after being slapped, Yan Jingxin next to him looked a little complicated, maybe he didn't know who the youngest son followed with his appearance.

Some people can understand when they are happy and fussy, but when they are happy, they want to talk cheaply and intentionally provoke beatings. Yan Jingxin really doesn't understand.Later, Liu Shu found out about this, and with a serious face, he said decisively: "Then who else can do it, of course it's up to you."

Yan Jing believed that frowning could kill flies, with rejection written all over his face.

How can it be?

How could he have Xiao Hei's disposition?

Willow opened his mouth as evidence: "When we were in the village, you came back from the prefecture and county. You worked for ten days. Every day was bitter and bitter. Later, I teased you first. Every time you came back, you just did nothing. If you don’t want me to live, why do you want a doll? Do you have someone else outside? I have to squeeze you hard.”

"At that time, you were still hard when you did this thing. I thought you didn't want to touch me. Who knew that you would not fall behind every night. I knew a little bit at that time. I scratched you and cried and scolded you. When you were young, you were very happy for a long time, if I didn't tickle you anymore, and you deliberately bumped into me, you insisted on beating you up."

But the willow tree was limp and had no strength at that time.

After finishing speaking, Liu Shu gave a serious look of "I understand now", "I also said that Xiao Hei will not follow you."

Rigorous letter: ...

Cough, cough, my throat is itchy.

Willow snorted, "Dabai followed you during the daytime, and Xiao Hei followed you like a slut, anyway, I followed you. I think Yingniang followed me. It's okay..." I boasted all over myself.

"..." Rigorously believe that different small trees are more truthful, and there is no way to explain it.

The daughter-in-law is a child of the Zheng family, how can she grow up with Xiaoshu?Talk nonsense.

Later, Li’s family went to the hot springs. Li Zhaoxi was very happy every day. He ate, drank, soaked in hot springs and listened to plays in the hot springs. When it snowed, he rode a horse and took Wang Wang to the nearby short hills to dig a rabbit hole, and went hunting. There are many pheasants with colorful and green tails.

But I didn't eat it, the pheasant meat is too bad.

Gu Zhao said: "Who knows what these things have eaten when they look outside, don't be poisonous."

Li Zhaoxi was so frightened that he didn't dare to eat it for Wang Wang, so he asked the servants in the village to deal with it, and said, "Don't eat it secretly, just in case the pheasant ate something poisonous."

The servants in Zhuangzi heard that they were right on the surface, and when they turned around, they took off the chicken feathers and cooked them. Where is there any wild poison on the nearby hills?Besides, this pheasant is said to be wild, but in fact it was deliberately released by the people in the nearby Dazhuangzi to raise it, so that the nobles can go hunting on the hills.

The happy days were very short. After breakfast on the fifth day, the family packed up their carriages and returned to Beijing, but all of them had ruddy faces, refreshed and full of energy.

The new year is still going on as usual, and the new year's goods that should be released by the Li family have been shipped out a month earlier.

Regardless of the previous disputes in the officialdom, people nowadays value the year in their bones. After Mr. Gu Ge performed the pen sealing ceremony, the official annual leave of Dali began. No matter what troubles or political affairs there were before or now, everything will be over Let's talk next year.

So this year is a happy one.

Emperor Guangwu came back on the first day of the new year, so the palace became lively again and began to hold banquets.As soon as the year is over, on the first day of the Xiaochaohui, a snowflake-like memorial arrives in front of Emperor Guangwu's dragon case, and even a large number of officials in the courtroom join hands to sue Gu Ge.

There are all kinds of names.

Mr. Gu's appearance is not correct - this is what Gu Zhao wore in private.Gu Ge's tongue-in-cheek war with Confucianism, "...Which law in the Dali said that officials' private clothes are regulated? Isn't it forbidden to be old and handsome?"

Li Wubing sat on it and watched Gu Ziqing spray those old guys, he was so happy that he almost applauded Gu Ziqing.

Scolding is good, and scolding more happily, don't think that he is not in Beijing, these old things are just talking about his brother's rules, which is out of place.What are the rules? He is the emperor and his brother is the queen. The world belongs to them, so they are the rules.

You can't kill all these old courtiers for this little tongue, right?

Today's Li Wubing is not the one who was alone in the past. He now has a family and a family. In order for his brother not to be scolded as a wicked evildoer for the country, and for his son, Xiao Shizi, to have a safe state management, Li Wubing Disease is now enduring those killing desires.

If you have seen the light and felt the warmth, the road ahead is full of hope, and no one would want to return to the boundless darkness.

With concern, there is also a weakness that needs to be borne.

Therefore, after Gu Ziqing was fighting with the officials this morning, Emperor Guangwu first waved his hands and asked Gou Gui to serve Gu Ge Lao tea to soothe his throat, "...what are you doing stupidly, Ziqing's mouth may have dried up after saying such words. "

Ministers: ...

At this moment, he was about to vomit blood from his heart when he scolded Gu Ziqing! ! !

Who could fail to understand that the Holy Majesty is on Gu Ziqing's side, so why is it impossible to sow dissension!

Logically speaking, Gu Ziqing holds a lot of power, and he is already jealous of which emperor he puts on him. Even if he didn't before, he will gradually add fuel and jealousy. If there are too many things, the Holy Majesty will always be suspicious, but why doesn't the Holy Majesty have the slightest doubt about Gu now? Mega ambition.

But they don't know that the rare imperial power is nothing more than that in Li Wubing's eyes.

This morning, Gu Zhao also scolded to his heart's content. Although his throat was a little sore, he had finished scolding all the emotions that should be vented last year, and felt refreshed, so he put himself into his new job.

The new year, the fifth year of Guangwu, started from the opening of the dynasty, which also indicates that this year will be a hearty and joyful year.

In the same year, Yan Jinxin and Liu Shu left Beijing again.

In March, Shengjia went to Toyosu again.

In May, the news of the victory in Rongzhou, General Meng Jianyun captured the King of Fan, cooperated with Vice General Lin, and forced the Fan Kingdom to retreat for dozens of miles.

In June, Fengzhou won a big victory, and Emperor Guangwu went straight to the depths of King Hui's court. The letter sent back to Beijing did not elaborate, but as soon as the news came out, within half a month, Fanguo next door wrote a letter, saying that he was willing to submit to Dali.

Gu Zhao guessed that Li Wubing should have done something to frighten the frightened neighbor Fan Guo.

The Hui Kingdom was brought down, and the Fan Kingdom voluntarily surrendered. Afterwards, things were very busy. They had to send troops to station there, get rid of some unstable factors in the old department, and appease the people in the two places——

Ordinary people are innocent.

Now that the war is over and the world is unified, we must hold on and hold on.

In July, when Shengjia returned to the court, he was greeted by hundreds of officials outside the city, and the people in the capital lined the road to welcome him. They knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.

It began at the end of Kangjing and ended in the fifth year of Guangwu.

The world is finally at peace.

Afterwards came rewards for meritorious deeds. Emperor Guangwu favored martial arts and won the world by fighting. The military officers in the Dali Dynasty showed their faces fiercely, and the sharpness of the sword was unsheathed.

The generals who were rewarded for their meritorious deeds returned to the court one after another to receive their rewards.

In this battle, apart from Emperor Guangwu, General Meng Jianyun of Rongzhou was the most victorious general. I heard that during Emperor Tianshun, Meng Jianyun of Rongzhou belonged to the Holy Majesty. Rescuing Shengjia for the first time can be counted as a contribution from the dragon.

When the officials in Beijing spoke up, they all said, "It's even worse now."

"Since it is a genuine first-class product, it can't be wrong."

"I'm afraid that he will be knighted. General Meng is now a second-rank military officer."

"I heard that this son is still very young, only 26 or [-] years old."

"But why?"

"I don't know. The one who got up in Rongzhou didn't find out the specifics."

Rongzhou and Jingli are far away, and the civil and military departments are different. The name Meng Jianyun has been heard by the civil officials in Beijing. At that time, no one dared to inquire too clearly. They were afraid of being arrested as a spy. They only knew something that everyone knew. For example, Meng Jianyun is young and married, but his specific background is unknown.

"What's the rush, I'll find out when General Meng arrives." At such a young age, since he is married, it shouldn't be a problem to have a few more concubines.

In July, General Meng from Rongzhou returned to Beijing with a team of troops. The people in the capital lined the road to welcome him. They raised their heads to see what the general looked like. He saw a man in armor riding in front of him. He was only in his 20s and looked handsome. , Immediately exclaimed.

"Is this General Meng? How could he be so young?"

"It looks good and is handsome."

Another person immediately booed, "You are not afraid of death. I heard that General Meng of Rongzhou killed the enemy without blinking his eyes. Cutting people's heads is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables."

"so smart?"

"Otherwise, how could he become a general at such a young age? It's all due to killing the enemy's head on the battlefield."

Now no one dared to say what General Meng looked like, fearing that they would kill them if they heard it.

Meng Jianyun led people into the city, went straight to the palace, entered through the Dingmen, and unloaded his swords and weapons.Gou Gui, the general manager, greeted him personally, and led the way, saying that the Holy Majesty heard that General Meng had arrived, and hurriedly ordered his servants to come to greet him, and he is currently in the Tai Chi Hall...

When they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, the eunuch made a sound, and the Holy Majesty inside let him in directly.

No wait at all.

Meng Jianyun entered the hall with his clothes full, knelt down on one knee and saluted the Holy Majesty.

On the dragon chair, Li Wubing cried out, and said: "I'm not being polite to you, you take a break first, and have dinner together later, see what you want to eat, and when all the people come back, there will be a banquet."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind treatment." Meng Jianyun said.

Li Wubing waved his hand to show that the cutscene was over, "I've seen you, go to the cabinet to have a look at the back, Gu Ziqing knows you're coming back today, so he said twice."

"The minister will take his leave first." Meng Jianyun bowed and said goodbye.

Gou Gui bent down, "General Meng, this servant will lead the way, this way please."

in the cabinet.

Gu Zhaofu approved the memorial on the case, and gave orders to Huang Zheng, and then listened to other colleagues politely calling Gou Gui——

"General Meng, when the cabinet is here, there will be no more slaves." Gou Gui stood outside and did not dare to enter, and said respectfully: "The slaves still have to answer."

Meng Jianyun stopped and cupped his hands.

Seeing this, the other cabinet ministers realized that this was the famous General Meng. He was indeed young, talented, and imposing... Everyone stepped forward to greet him politely.

I just don't know why General Meng came to the cabinet?But is there any order from the Holy Spirit?

"Sure enough, you're back." Gu Zhao guessed it from Gou Gui's voice inside, and when he came out to see, the one surrounded by him was Meng Jianyun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The minister who had just exchanged greetings fell silent, looked at Mr. Gu Ge, and then at General Meng. Could it be that these two people know each other?That’s right, Rongzhou is close to Zhaozhou——

"Father." Meng Jianyun's eyes were a little happy, and he went forward to kneel solemnly on one knee, but before he knelt down, Gu Zhao helped him up.

"You child."

Gu Zhao was comforted by Lao Huai, raised his hand and patted Xiao Meng's arm, but it turned out that his muscles were hard. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey, Xiao Meng is still young. He has all his tendons and flesh, so he just needs to come back with all his tail."

Meng Jianyun smiled on his cold face.

The adoptive father is still the same.

The rest of the cabinet:  …

Righteous, righteous father? !
