Chapter 952 Anxious People
On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, watch the sun and have a great meeting.
The emperor was bad at conduct and ordered the prince to supervise the country and listen to the government from the throne.
If the Zen Dynasty was only discussed in private to build momentum for public opinion, today's court meeting was openly discussed. The internal official and Luoyang Ling Yu Bing publicly mentioned it and the ministers discussed it. The conclusion is the same as that of Empress Liang: things like ups and downs have existed since ancient times.
Shao Xun did not attend this court meeting, but he controlled the rhythm very well. When to formally abdicate and when to give in, he followed the command in everything.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, the aging Zong Zhengqing and Beihai King Sima Shi requested to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Sima Duan, the Crown Prince of the Supervisory State, followed the instructions in advance and personally led Sima Shi and several others into Zhaoyang Palace without stopping or having any reason to stop them.
After seeing the emperor, the emperor and his ministers wept.
After leaving the palace city, news spread in the capital: It may not be long now.
On December 20th, Shao Xun left the city in person and went to Panyuan to meet his parents.
As for my wife and children, they arrived a day later.
The guards and palace attendants of Ningshuo Palace took off the luggage one by one and placed them everywhere.
Shao Xun stood aside, dumbfounded.
Mother Liu said naggingly: "This is the salted watermelon that bugs like to eat. Alas, I am old and can't plant the land, so I can only make some salted waterfowl. If I wait a few more years, I'm afraid You can’t make this thing with your own hands.”
A jar of pickles was taken down and carefully placed in the cellar.
"Xiao Chong, there are also some mutton sausages brought by Yin Ling." Mrs. Liu walked to another carriage and said, "Several carriages."
Shao Xun didn't react for a moment and asked : "Silver Bell——"
"People have given birth to a baby for you, and you still don't know who it is?" Mrs. Liu stared.
The palace servants and guards all lowered their heads, and their hands and feet became a little faster.
Only Mrs. Tai dared to tell this kind of secret. Others would feel a chill on their necks just hearing it.
Shao Xun reacted and laughed. He took his mother's hand and said, "Auntie is right."
"Some of these are made by Fu Bao. I had someone install them alone." Mrs. Liu continued: "This granddaughter is so good that I don't want her to get married."
"But I don't know what to do with the vegetable fields in Ningshuo Palace. They will probably be abandoned."
"The Fenshui fish you like to eat is killed and brought over. It is frozen solid."
"Chunkui has dried the mushrooms picked in Shanglin Garden for several days. Chunkui, come here."
Chun Kui came over and looked at her. Shao Xun didn't notice her at first.
“You are an eleven-year-old girl and you are still so shy.” Ms. Liu joked.
"Master." Chunkui lowered his head and shouted.
“Good girl.” Shao Xun responded with a smile.
There have been too many things going on in the past few years. Not to mention Chou Nu and Chun Kui, the brother and sister, we have rarely seen our biological children, and they have become a bit alienated.
But after saying "good girl", Chun Kui had a smile on her face and raised her head to look at Shao Xun.
"What have you learned this year?" Shao Xun asked with shame in his heart.
"Learned poetry and music theory." Chunkui replied softly.
"It's better than being a father." Shao Xun smiled and said: "Where is the ugly slave?"
Before Chun Kui answered, Liu said: "He is following the guards of Ningshuo Palace this year. Let’s practice together and work hard.”
Shao Xun nodded.
These two brothers and sisters were raised by the queen. After his mother heard about it, she felt pity for him and often called him to have dinner with him and give him rewards.
That's what she's like.
He is unforgiving in his words, but he is soft-hearted and kind. He never punishes the palace people and often forgives their mistakes.
In fact, the rewards and punishments are a bit unclear, but Shao Xun just let her do whatever she wants.
Compared to my mother, my father is different.
He really killed people.
After drinking once, he hesitated and said that he had "robbed" Wu during the Ping Dynasty, more than once.
Shao Xun is also a martial artist, how can he not understand the old martial artist?
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
When I came to Luoyang from Pingyang, I heard that my father had a sudden sexual desire and actually asked someone to wear armor for him.
The guards couldn't resist him, so they brought a set of Mingguang armor and actually put it on and walked a few steps.
It is truly amazing that an old man over seventy can still act like this.
At this moment, he was silently watching the guards assign sentry posts in the front yard, and came over after a long time.
"Master." Shao Xun stepped forward and saluted.
Chun Kui also bowed.
Shao Xiu didn't say much, nodded, and then gave a signal with his eyes.
Shao Xun understood.
The father and son walked out for more than ten steps and came to the bamboo forest.
"Lan Ji and Jin Dao, mother and son, are somewhat estranged." Shao Xiuyan said simply and concisely.
Shao Xun was a little surprised.
"That Lucai is not a good thing!" After saying that, Shao Xiu waved his hand and left directly to go to Liu's place to help.
Shao Xun stood by the bamboo forest for a long time.
My father rarely talks much, and rarely comments on the generals of the shogunate. This time he actually criticized Lucai by name, which must be very objectionable.
Lekai came to Luoyang very early, and later went to Pingyang. This time he came together again. Something must have happened in between.
Shao Xun thought about it for a while and probably had some idea.
In fact, it is just a normal instinct of a wealthy family. If it were someone else, the father would probably be too lazy to say more, but what if it was his own grandson?
Shao Xun is not planning to do anything for the time being. He plans to find a good time to ask after Lan Ji arrives.
It’s normal for Le Jia to have ideas, but it’s strange that he doesn’t.
Next, Lejia is the main force in Jiangdong, at least the main force along the way.
Shao Xun vaguely remembered that Le Kai had been on the road a while ago and said that he had repelled Tao Kan's offensive against Wancheng and recovered all the lost ground. Next year he will organize a siege of Xiangyang to save face. Loyalty is not a problem.

After all the busy work, it was soon noon.
"What's for lunch?" Mrs. Liu looked at the sky and asked.
"The soup cakes made by grandma are the most delicious. Let's cook some meat." Shao Xun said with a smile.
"Go and move firewood." Mrs. Liu looked at the kitchen and directed.
"Okay." Under the embarrassed eyes of the guards, Shao Xun snatched a few bundles of thatch and a bundle of dead branches, trotted into the kitchen, and sat behind the earthen stove.
Pan Yuan has an iron pot with two large mouths, so an earthen stove was set up.
A few more people came to Pan Yuanzhong.
Liu Ye, who was pregnant, bowed to his father Shao and his mother, and then went to rest inside.
Sisters Jin Yuehua and Jin Yuehui appeared in front of their parents for the first time.
Ms. Liu was a person of public interest and always greeted Shao Xun with a smile, but behind her back, she complained a few words about Shao Xun, saying that she didn't like the women in her family anymore as they got older, and they specialized in messing with young women.
Shao Xun turned a deaf ear and didn't care.
Jin Yuehua changed into light home clothes and made noodles with her mother.
Shao Xun hooked his fingers and called the little girl Jin Yuehui over, and they sat on the pony together.
The little girl was injured and frowned slightly when she sat down.
This was caused by Shao Xun. It was her first time. She bled a lot last night and finally gave up halfway.
Shao Xun skillfully ignited the thatch and put it into the stove hole, then took out a few bean stalks and slowly stuffed them in.
The "cracking" sound of explosion gradually sounded.
"Never seen it?" Shao Xun asked.
Jin Yuehui shook his head, hesitated, picked up a few bean stalks and handed them over.
“Any young lady is richer than I was when I was young.” Shao Xun said with a smile.
Jin Yuehui lowered his head.
"Miss your family?" Shao Xun asked.
"Yes."
"Your father has arrived in Sang City, defeated the bandits, and killed the Shile people." Shao Xun said, "He has accomplished a great service."
"Really "?" Jin Yuehui raised his head, his eyes bright.
"Of course it's true." Shao Xun said, "I still want to reward him. What do you think would be a good reward?"
Jin Yuehui shook his head.
"Just give me a house in Luoyang City." Shao Xun deliberately pondered for a while and said: "Since you miss your family, write a letter to bring them from Chang'an and Sangcheng to Luoyang, so that they can be reunited."
Jin Yuehui was very moved but hesitated to speak.
"Don't worry." Shao Xun said: "Now the country is in trouble, and I can't leave you for a moment. When there is peace in the future, wouldn't it be great to bring him to Luoyang? The family is reunited, and the wealth is extremely high. Isn't it better than staying in that wilderness?"
"Yes." The little girl smiled.
Jin Yuehua listened not far away and quietly looked at the two people huddled behind the earthen stove.
Prince Liang was really free, and he was ready to lie to the young lady.
Without such military exploits, shouldn’t the Jin Kang family be moved to Luoyang as hostages?
She thought again of the news she heard recently.
The war in Qinzhou is basically over.
Shi Wu and Shi Le escaped and then counterattacked, but were severely defeated, and then they really fled westward.
Some tribes in Qinzhou also rebelled, not because they were instigated by Shi Wu and Shi Le, but because Jin Zheng was too cruel and would kill anyone who disobeyed the slightest. Several tribes were built with their heads to build temples.
The Yang Nandi brothers spread "rumors", saying that the Liang King, like the Huns, wanted to move all the Qinzhou tribes to Guandong. Many people followed and rebelled, and they were defeated one by one.
Jin Zheng broke through Yinping and went straight to Wudu. He suffered a defeat before withdrawing his troops.
There is a proposal in the court to recruit Yang Nandi. Jin Zheng wrote a letter saying that this generation is unruly and unruly. He also cited Qiu Chidi's surrender and rebellion during the Liu Han period as an example. Please punish him.
The court did not give a clear reply.
But lack of clarity is tantamount to acquiescence. Kim Jong is the commander-in-chief and has full power.
It's just that it's the end of the year, the weather is freezing, food and grass are scarce, and the tribes are unwilling to fight, so Jin Zheng just returned to Chang'an.
The matter in Qinzhou is now clear. It may take several more years of deterrence and counter-insurgency, but the overall situation is set and will not change for a while.
The main force in countering the rebellion was obviously Jin Zhun, the general who protected the Huns, Jin Kang, the general of Sangcheng Town, Jin Ming, the general of Caobi Town, and Yao Yizhong, the prefect of Nan'an.
There was a sound outside.
Jin Yuehua took back her thoughts and continued to help Liu make noodles.
Shao Xiu sat in the courtyard, silent like a Bodhisattva. He didn't intend to stand up at first, but when he saw the person coming, he stood up slowly.
The visitor does not dare to neglect, and should salute first: "I have met the Grand Duke."
Significantly it is Liu Runzhong, the governor of Shangdang, Liu Da, the deputy governor of the Yicong Army, Liu Hezhu, the governor of Changshan, and Liu Hedu, the general of Luze Town. Four people.
Liu Quan, the governor of Xingxing, and Liu Zhao, the governor of Kelan, did not come. They were obviously guarding the place and did not dare to leave lightly.
Shao Xiu returned the courtesy and ordered the palace servants to invite Zhu Liu into the main hall.
Hearing the report, Shao Xun secretly laughed and said, "I feel like grass has grown in my heart. I can't wait to know what will happen after the founding of the country. Will it rise or fall? Will it soar into the sky or disappear?" But everyone."
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu was unhappy and said, "It's just a farmer. If we work together to open up wasteland, there will be an explanation after it is completed. Xiaochong, do you really think that you can conquer the world by yourself? Go and see the guests, and don’t worry about the soldiers.”
Shao Xun secretly said. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, I will definitely make the Liu family uncomfortable, because when they feel comfortable, I won't be able to sleep.
Shangdang is like a sword hanging over Luoyang's head. I have to be so blind to not see it.
However, we should not be too anxious about this matter. We should slowly reduce the vassal status and use both civil and military methods. We must not learn to do things that are stupid and ignorant.
"Lake a good fire here." Shao Xun warned the little lady.
Jin Yuehui lowered his head and hummed.
"Don't set the firewood pile on fire." After making a joke, Shao Xun stood up, brushed his sleeves, and walked out of the kitchen.
