Prince's Revenge

Chapter 25

On the night of the fourteenth day of the sixth lunar month in the fifth year of Yude, Emperor He Dichi went to his courtiers' house for the first time after he ascended the throne. Only the third prince He Yaodu and the eunuch Wang Fu followed him, and the three quietly left the palace through the side door. The guards at the main entrance were not disturbed.

The General's Mansion is located on the most prosperous East Street in Dayong City, an exquisite courtyard house and a yard in the backyard.Zheng Tuo's son, Zheng Xian, married the princess, and his family lived in the princess mansion, which was divided into separate mansions.Only Zheng Tuo and some old servants were left in the general's mansion, which was a little deserted.At this time, it was only Sishi, and the door of the mansion was closed, so there was no bustling in the mansion of the court officials, Wang Fu stepped forward to knock on the door, and only then did someone come to open the door.

He Dichi asked his servants to keep quiet, and he skillfully walked through the halls and corridors until he reached a gazebo in the backyard, where he saw Zheng Tuo drinking alone against the moon.He Dichi walked over alone, leaving Wang Fu and He Yaodu to guard the door of the backyard, and no one was allowed to enter.

Zheng Tuo and He Dichi are not like monarchs and ministers at this moment, but like a pair of old friends, sitting opposite each other and watching the moon, no one speaks for a long time.

The cool breeze is blowing, bringing the humidity of the lake. Surrounding the lake are planted several large trees surrounded by one person with luxuriant branches and leaves. This gazebo is protected under the shade of the trees to avoid the scorching sun. It is the most suitable place to escape the heat in summer, even at noon when the sun is at its peak, you will not feel the heat.

The general's mansion is not big, and the buildings are not gorgeous, and the specifications are not suitable for Zheng Tuo's official position, but he only asked He Dichi to give this place as his official residence.For various reasons, only he and He Dichi knew, just like when He Dichi came here, Zheng Tuo did not behave like a monarch and minister.

At that time, when they were not yet in their prime, they admired the great reputation of the capital of the imperial dynasty, Da Yong, and disguised themselves as the sons of a northeastern medicine merchant, sneaked into this Da Yong City, spent a lot of money, and bought this elegant mansion.The two lived happily here for nearly a year, during which they met Zong Huaichu, who was also a teenager.At that time, Zong Huaichu was four years younger than them, but at the age of 15, Moshang was like a jade, and his son was unparalleled in the world.The three young men sang wine as a song, and on the same summer night, they became brothers of different surnames in the gazebo. He also immediately swore that he would "immediately hold the sword and guard Dayong, and I will guarantee your wealth and honor for the rest of your life".

Zheng Tuo would never have imagined that Hedi Chi would insist on sending his troops south 30 years later.

The day He Dichi raised his troops was the day of the national mourning of the Zong Dynasty.

Immediately hold the sword to guard Dayong, guarding the Dayong of the He people, and seeking the wealth of He Dichi.

Zheng Tuo couldn't think of it, and Zong Huaichu, who was under the Nine Springs, couldn't think of it either.

Living in this courtyard, Zheng Tuo would come to the gazebo every night, as if returning to his childhood, the three of them had a good time drinking and chatting about life.

Zheng Tuo also once thought that maybe Zong Huaichu and He Dichi knew each other's identities at the beginning, otherwise, later Zong Huaichu would not have married his sister to a foreign country so happily, and He Dichi would not have insisted on marrying each other. Marry the most noble princess of the clan, the imperial sister at that time.

He Dichi's words interrupted Zheng Tuo's memory: "This place is the same as before, and being here, I seem to be able to forget the disturbance outside.

"

Zheng Tuo replied: "Exactly."

"How long has it been since we brothers had a good drink together, from when I decided to go south. I know, you blame me in your heart, blame me for robbing his country. But I know, only I can hold this country for him .Look at his two sons, one is weaker than the other, and they don't have the ability to govern the country." He Dichi has been carrying these words in his heart for a long time, and taking advantage of today's opportunity, he decided to untie his knot with Zheng Tuo and let him Travel without worries.

Brothers for many years, how could Zheng Tuo not know his intentions: "Zong Qixiu resembles him very much, he can guard Da Zong's country, how could his son not be able to!"

He Dichi laughed, and his smile flew wildly: "The Na and Taiji tribes have long been eyeing the Central Plains. If I hadn't suppressed them, could they have waited until now? Fu Liang has a heavy army in his hand and is ready to rebel at any time. If he hadn't been worried about The four tribes in the north will take the opportunity to enter, and will they wait until now?"

Zheng Tuo looked in surprise at the ambitions of the Hedichi, Na and Taiji tribes. He had noticed it, but it was the first time he had heard of Fu Liang's intention to rebel, so he asked in confusion: " Since Fu Liang has the ability to rebel, why is he willing to submit to you?"

He Dichi laughed and said, "Who says he is willing? But he just can't take care of himself."

"what!"

Seeing Zheng Tuo's surprised expression, He Di Chi felt very at ease in his heart, and explained: "Not all of his 15 troops are willing to sacrifice their lives for his surname. It's just a tactic of alienation, which is the favorite tactic of the Han people. "

"I see!"

"When he calms down the internal conflicts, our He tribe has already pacified the west. At that time, the He tribe's iron cavalry will go south and use the name of rebellion to take the opportunity to level his title and take the south of Fujian into the pocket. The real world is peaceful. Zheng Tuo, there is no room for loss in the first battle in the west, and a quick battle is needed. There is not much time to wait, at most two years, and things may change if it is too late." above.

Zheng Tuo was shocked in his heart, and he didn't express his opinion in a hurry, he was sad in his heart.At the beginning when he wanted to disarm and return to the farm, Hedi Chi refused, and he was very kind to him everywhere. Zheng Tuo always believed that Hedi Chi had nothing to hide from him, and he thought he knew Hedi Chi. He never thought that, Such an important matter, Hedi Chi never revealed to him the slightest.

He Dichi looked at his hesitant face and sighed in his heart, this brother is good at fighting, even if he is allowed to charge into the enemy camp alone, he can still make thousands of troops without blinking an eye, but he knows very well that Zheng Tuo values ​​love and righteousness, and he continued calmly: "I also hope that my brother will put the He clan world first. On the day of my brother's triumphant return, I will definitely go to his mausoleum to kowtow in person to apologize."

Zheng Tuo sighed deeply, "I want you to promise me one thing."

"Say!"

"Don't harm the brother of the Zong family, and keep his brother safe for the rest of his life." Zheng Tuo said solemnly.

He Dichi knew that he kept his promises and kept his promises, so he finally felt at ease in his heart and said: "This is natural. As long as I am here, I will definitely not let them suffer any harm."

Zheng Tuo felt relieved, he had the eldest princess in the Zheng family, and he didn't ask for an extreme minister, just asking for self-protection was enough.He originally planned to discuss with Zheng Xian and his wife tomorrow. In case of defeat this time, please ask the princess to take the whole family back to the Bojin tribe in the northern grassland and stay away from this place.The only thing he is worried about is the two brothers of the clan, the two proud princes of the previous dynasty, how uneasy the ruler of the current dynasty is!

A pot of Nurhong was unknowingly drunk by the two of them. It was still the same taste as before, except for that handsome and arrogant young man.
