Chapter 826: The Forcibly Promoted War

After Lu Zhi’s death, the situation cannot be low.

During his lifetime, Shao Xun even asked him if he wanted anything posthumous gift from the court. As a result, Lao Lu didn't want to preserve his reputation as a minister of the imperial court, so he clearly refused.

In this case, it seems that we can only wait for the new dynasty to give it as a posthumous gift after the Zen Dynasty.

Cui Yu, the former censor and now Taichang Qing (from the third rank), led a large team to Yecheng to preside over the funeral in person.

Shao Xun's second son Badger Lang followed him.

After arranging these arrangements, Shao Xun came to the palace where his parents lived.

Years ago, he wrote a memorandum to ridicule Shi Le for abandoning his mother thousands of miles away and refusing to serve her at dawn and dusk. In fact, he couldn't do it. Even when he was not on an expedition, he couldn't meet her every day.

I heard about Lu Zhi today and felt a lot, so I came here.

Actually, my mother-in-law is very old, both in their seventies, which is considered a long life among the ancients - of course, it is still incomparable with Liu Yuan’s former teacher Cui You, who was ninety-three At the age of 18, he was invited by Liu Yuan to be an official, but he died at home not long after he refused (it should be a normal death).

During the epidemic last year, Shao Xun let his mother and father live alone in a small hall. Except for his frequent visits, they had almost no contact with outsiders. After the epidemic subsided, Shao Xun told them to stop growing vegetables and take a rest.

This year, they really stopped growing vegetables, but they still picked up some fruits and looked after them every time, which was a kind of sustenance.

My father is becoming more and more taciturn, while my mother talks a lot more.

"Xiao Chong, why did you recruit that guy Hou Laosan into the palace?" Mother Liu said nagging: "That guy is not good. He didn't pay back the money he owed before, so he was looked down upon by others."

"They are all from the countryside, they are literate, and they work as minor servants in the outer court. If my mother doesn't like it, my son will repel them." Shao Xun is really not familiar with these people, and many of them heard that I have an impression of the name, but I haven't had much contact with it.

"Just rebuke..." The mother was still kind in the end. She sighed in the end and said, "Forget it about being outside the court, just don't come to the harem."

"Hou Laosan's son has entered the palace to become an eunuch. "The taciturn father Shao said suddenly.

Shao Xun was a little surprised.

In fact, in the past two years, there have been many people who took the initiative to join the palace as eunuchs, and they couldn't stop them.

Some people entered the palace after giving birth to a son, while others couldn't wait and adopted one directly. They were basically from Donghai.

Shao Xun once thought that these people would not become a family of eunuchs like the Tang Dynasty, right?

People who have been eunuchs for generations are called a family of eunuchs.

There are regulations on how many adopted children eunuchs of different grades can receive, and the system is quite standardized.

My father worked as a eunuch in the palace. After his son married a wife and left offspring, he then entered the palace to take his place.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, a knife in the crotch is not unacceptable after getting married and giving birth to children. It is better than being hungry at home. In addition, you can make money, which seems to be good, it depends on your choice.

"The palace said that many people from the East China Sea came, but they didn't recognize them," Mrs. Liu said again.

"If I want to meet my neighbors, I can send a message to Donghai Kingdom and send officials to investigate and bring them to Pingyang." Shao Xun said.

"Stop being evil." Father Shao waved his hand and said, "People live a good life. When they are old, they are transported thousands of miles. There are a few who can withstand the torment."

"Grandpa is right." Shao Xun smiled and said, "I didn't think carefully."

"It's not that you didn't think carefully. You have been a warrior for a long time, and human life is not a big deal in your eyes. "Shao's father sighed: "In fact, when I went to the battlefield to fight, it became like this after a long time."

"Are you still fighting?" Mrs. Liu curled her lips and said, "I lost my armor and ran back in a panic."

"This matter is going to be impossible, right?" Shao's father said dissatisfied.

Shao Xun smiled secretly.

"Xiao Chong, have you eaten yet?" Liu asked suddenly.

"I'll go to Wenming Hall for dinner later." Shao Xun said.

"It's a pity that we didn't plant spring leeks this year. You liked to eat them when you were young." Mrs. Liu was a little disappointed when she heard that her son was not eating here.

"My mother is just enjoying her happiness, so why bother to work hard?" Shao Xun said: "When I have some free time, I will plant some spring leeks for my mother to eat."

"You have big things to do. ..." Mrs. Liu sighed: "I just sigh, I may not be able to stay with you for a few more years."

After saying that, she looked a little sad.

No one is immune to birth, old age, illness and death.

"Auntie is in good health, why do you say this?" Shao Xun was silent for a while and said: "After fighting Xianbei and the Huns, I will stay in the palace and not run away."

"I must personally "Want to fight?" Mrs. Liu couldn't help but ask: "Your father went out to fight when he was young, and became ill in his old age. You are now in your prime, and you don't feel-"

"Not so. Mysterious." Shao's father interjected: "Ding Feng is talking about the young generals. When I was young, I was able to go on an expedition. The generals and governors were fighting in the front, and the governors lived in the city behind. Enjoy the singing and dancing at your leisure."

Shao Xun nodded with a smile. My father is indeed a soldier who successfully ran away without his armor. He knows his stuff.

When I first started my career, it was really difficult to lead an army myself. Many times it is extremely dangerous to take risks personally.

Now all the generals are leading the troops, and he is actually marching most of the time. No one stipulates which day or hour he must arrive where, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.

He has a lot of freedom, and his life is actually quite regular, which is different from before.

Moreover, he can withstand failure now, not as painfully as when he got up in the middle of the night and planned a strategy to defeat the enemy.

Of course, it is definitely not comparable to lying at home.

"Which general is so outrageous?" Liu didn't believe it. "General Yang Lie Wang Hun, it happened more than fifty years ago, when I was drafted for the first time." Shao's father said.

"What is General Wang doing now? Their family is from a high-ranking family?" Mrs. Liu asked.

"Dead." After Shao's father finished speaking, he looked at his son and said, "Their family was destroyed by bugs."

Mr. Liu was speechless.

Shao Xun laughed so much that he felt inexplicably much better.

Although my father is a man of few words, he actually has a good heart. He knows everything, sees everything clearly, and can comfort people in a funny way.

“So don’t worry about it.” Shao’s father said again: “Xiao Chong has been fighting for so many years. Compared with it, the general I fought with back then is nothing. He knows how to win.”

"My son is better than you." Mrs. Liu was speechless. In the end, she could only mutter and went back to the inner room.

Father Shao looked at the sky and said slowly: "You have brought down so many wealthy families that I didn't even deserve to see. Be careful."

"I understand. "Shao Xun nodded and said.

“Do you really want to go into battle?” Outside Huiguang Hall, Wang Jingfeng said pitifully: “Hutou is only ten years old, isn’t it good to study at home?”

Shao Xun suddenly wanted to laugh again.

Wang Laodeng jumped up and down, arguing with others, but Wang Jingfeng did not want his grandson to join the army.

"You are not young now, let me feel the atmosphere of the battlefield." Shao Xun said: "Don't worry, you will stay in the rear most of the time. What are you worried about?"

"You have so many women now, so you are not good to me." Wang Jingfeng said anxiously: "Not only are you not good to me, you are also not good to Hutou."

Shao Xun ignored him, only looked at his son, and said: " Hutou, are you willing to go on an expedition with me?"

Hutou (Shao Yu) first glanced at his mother, averting his eyes guiltily, and then said firmly: "Master, I want to go. ”

Wang Jingfeng wanted to faint.

"A loving mother often loses her son." Shao Xun looked at his son and said in an encouraging tone: "Follow me to see the long desert river, and when galloping on the grassland, bend your bow to kill the enemy, that is What a man should do.”

Hutou's eyes lit up and he said: "Master, I like archery the most."

After that, he patted the bow tip on his waist.

To be honest, although he is wary of the nobles, Shao Xun really likes Lao Si Hu Tou.

There is no other reason. The body has a big frame and he must be a strong man when he grows up, much like him, Shao.

Wang Jingfeng, a silly girl, unintentionally gave birth to a powerful general for the Shao family.

"Your Majesty." Wang Jingfeng saw that his son was "silly" too, so he changed his tone and said pitifully: "Hutou still needs to study."

Shao Xun laughed and said: "Ayu "Why don't you send someone to ask the Taiwei for his opinion?"

Wang Jingfeng is not really stupid after all, why bother asking? My father is worried about how to brag about the tiger's head. Now that he has the opportunity to go to war, why not brag about his "literary ability to harmonize politics" and "military ability to quell chaos"?

Such a handsome man with both "talented and civilized" talents is worthy of being my grandson, Wang Yan!

Wang Huifeng watched quietly from the side.

Shao Xun walked over, grabbed her hand and said, "You are still so indifferent. No matter how old our children are, they will still be like this."

"Just let it go." Wang Huifeng said.

"That's our child." Shao Xun emphasized.

“Are you very proud?” Wang Huifeng adjusted Shao Xun’s robes, and his tone remained unchanged: “I am such an indifferent woman, but you have succeeded and even gave birth to a child for you.”

Shao Xun was shocked and a little embarrassed.

"Don't forget what you promised me." Wang Huifeng said softly: "The people are suffering too much."

"Okay." Shao Xun let go of her hand.

Wang Huifeng grabbed Shao Xun's hand with his backhand, chuckled, and whispered: "Actually, it's good to have a child. He's not lonely."

Shao Xun's reaction I am really proud of myself.

"Tuoba three points, attack each other, as long as you fight steadily, you won't be defeated." Wang Huifeng said seriously again: "The Queen of the Dai Kingdom, Wang, is of great use, don't just think about it. She is showing off her power. After defeating Tuoba Hesheng, it may be miraculous to use her to recruit the dead."

"If you were a man, Zhang Mengsun would have to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy." Shao Xun said with a smile.

"Zhang Mengsun is the minister of Zhongshu. The king is the master of planning. Don't be rude." Wang Huifeng gave him a helpless look and said.

Shao Xun nodded lightly, then turned around, looked at his son, and said: "Hutou, take your bow and go out with your father."

Eight Years of the Turtle (324) On the fifth day of March, the outside of Pingyang City turned into a sea of ​​soldiers.

As the vanguard, 3,000 people from Dongwu's tribe in Hedong, known as "Xiaba", have gone north, and tens of thousands of troops have gathered from all over.

While wandering in front of each camp, Shao Xun felt that something in his body came alive again.

The wind drives the sharp brigade to the whole country, right now.

The junior high school officials who came to see him off had different expressions.

After all, he could not defeat the King of Liang. Based on his huge prestige, he forcibly promoted this war that many people were reluctant to start.
