"The way we used to work in the military doesn't work anymore!"

Chang Sheng sighed deeply, "Rectification of military affairs lies in the word rectification. The emperor did not send you to be a good old man! If you go out to fight, you have to turn a blind eye to some things. But to rectify the garrison in the interior of Huguang,

If you are perfunctory..."

Suddenly, Chang Sen trembled, and he suddenly remembered the emperor's words, "If you can't handle it, you will be punished by military law!"

At this time, I heard Chang Sheng continue to say, "Actually, this time I take you to Huguang, the emperor is also giving it to our family, so I can save my face for you?"

Hearing this, Chang Sen raised his head in surprise, "Second brother, where do you start with these words?"

"Hmph! How many people have been transferred by His Majesty's order in the past six months?" Chang Sheng said with a displeased expression, "Do you think it's an ordinary transfer? The bad things at the health centers in Huguang were not reported to the Emperor's court.

, but because there are some things that are related to you and me, and the emperor does not want to pursue them."

After waking up the dreamer with one word, Chang Sen was only thinking about civil affairs, but did not expect this.

Although the two brothers have been in the capital these years, they have never stopped traveling with local people. The exchanges between military personnel are far more frequent and less scrupulous than those of civil servants, and the matters entrusted to them are more straightforward.

For example, under the rule of the Huguang Dusi, in addition to being from the Chang family, the commanders of the three guards in Anlu, Changde, and Huangzhou also followed the path of the Chang family in recent years.

"Second brother!" Chang Sen whispered, "If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have thought of my brother..."

"I didn't expect that either!" Chang Sheng said with a bitter smile, "We are both born to the same father. How much smarter can I be than you?"

"That......?"

"Xu Huizu!" Chang Sheng scratched his head, "He came to my barracks early this morning and kept talking for a long time, reminding me of this and that!" He said, sighing, "Fuck, just follow them.

Comparatively, we are like a blank sheet of paper!"

Chang Sen frowned, "I owe him a huge favor!"

"What the hell!" Chang Sheng scolded with a smile, "If it wasn't for the Emperor's permission, how could he go? His mouth seems to be sewn shut and he doesn't miss a word. How can he be so kind as to remind us?"

After saying that, he sighed and said, "Hey, it would be great if Li Jinglong was in the capital!"

"What can he do in the capital?" Chang Sen was puzzled.

Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Not only will he remind us, he will also help us, and even directly tell us what to do to make the emperor happy!"

Nuange, Qianqing Palace, Forbidden City.

Zhu Yunxi had just sat down and had not read a few memorials when the bastard appeared at the door.

"Long live my lord, Eunuch Park is here to invite you, saying he is the Supreme Emperor..."

"I know!" Zhu Yunxi put down the memorial and stood up to put on his shoes.

The heavy rains a few days ago delayed the old man's ability to plant crops, so he moved back to the palace.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

It is said that it is difficult to be a parent in the world, and raising children is a lot of hard work.

In fact, to be fair, it is not easy to be a filial son.

Children are a process of becoming more and more sensible and thriving from childhood to adulthood.

As for the elderly, they are aging rapidly. They have become extremely fragile, both mentally and physically.

Children don't know how they grow up.

The elderly can clearly see the passage of life.

"How is Grandpa Huang?" Zhu Yunxi left the Qianqing Palace and asked Pu Bucheng who was outside.

The latter seemed to be much older, his hair was all gray, and the wrinkles on his face were like chicken skin.

"This morning, I served the Supreme Emperor. The old man has been sitting on the bed since he got up." Pu Bucheng said anxiously, "It's been a long time, and the water and rice haven't come in. I asked in a low voice several times, and he also

If you don't say anything, I dare not say anything more, so I can only come to you!"

"You haven't eaten for a whole day?" Zhu Yunxi stopped and frowned, "Just sitting like that?"

"Well!" Pu Bucheng whispered, "He didn't even see the crown prince here!" He continued in a steady tone, "The crown prince didn't even come forward, let alone others!"

When he said this, his voice suddenly became choked up, "I have served the old man all my life, and I have never seen him like this! He just sat there without saying a word. Even if he got angry, he would pull anyone down if he didn't like him.

Even if you kill him with a stick..."

~~

Zhu Yunxi walked into Yong'an Palace alone.

The door of the dormitory was ajar, and all the palace servants outside stood tremblingly as if facing an enemy, not daring to breathe.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hands silently, and the palace people quietly retreated with their heads lowered, as if they had been granted amnesty.

Through the crack of the door that was ajar, you could just see the old man sitting cross-legged on the bed.

The originally captivating eyes were now a little dim and lifeless. The broad shoulders were no longer so strong.

"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi opened the door and went in with a smile, "My grandson is here to see you!"

The old man raised his eyelids half way and moved his eyelids as a sign of agreement.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhu Yunxi sat down next to the old man, then supported the old man with his own hands, leaned against him, spread the old man's legs, and kneaded them gently.

"Is it okay to sit like this for a whole day? I heard that you haven't eaten yet..."

"We're going to die!"

A sentence suddenly popped out of the old man's mouth.

Zhu Yunxi's hands froze, his face was pale and he smiled forcefully, "Look at you, your body is strong..."

It's already April...and that day is getting closer.

Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to think about it. He didn't even dare to think about it. The reason why a series of imperial edicts have been issued recently and he kept looking for trouble is because he was afraid that he would be too busy and think of these things.

"We know our health, I guess it's over this time!" The old man's voice was muffled.

"You can't think wildly!" Zhu Yunxi could only console him, "Didn't you say that you have to live another twenty years to see Liu Jin start a family and have children?"

"Last night, we dreamed about your grandmother!" The old man's eyes suddenly lit up, "And your grandpa, too! And us!"

~~

"That dream was very strange, as if our soul was wandering around!"

"That scene is the small courtyard where we lived when we were children. Through the gate, we enter a vegetable garden, and then there are our two mud houses!"

"As soon as we entered the door, we saw your grandmother busy on the stove, steaming steamed buns!"

"Then I looked in the east room and saw your father-in-law and mother-in-law sitting on the kang, looking at us with smiles!"

"It's not about looking at us. We can look at them. We also shout, but they can't hear or see!"

"What they are looking at is that there is another me in the room!"

"That me is what we looked like when we were in our twenties! He was digging a hole in the middle of the house. It's already half a man deep and he's still digging!"

The old man took Zhu Yunxi's hand, his eyebrows trembling, and began to tell about his dream.

"We watched our young selves digging holes in the house!" the old man continued, "no matter how we shouted, they couldn't hear us. We wanted to reach out and pull, but we couldn't move at all, as if the soul was just there.

It's as if someone cast a spell on it and it's frozen in place!"

"At this time!" The old man's hand tightened suddenly and he said hoarsely, "Let's listen to what your wife said on the kang. She said happily, "Chongba! It's deep enough. Don't dig anymore. Grandson, you

Guess what we’re talking about when it comes to digging holes?”

Then, without waiting for Zhu Yunxi's reply, the old man continued, "Let me tell you who dug the hole, hurry up!"

For a moment, Zhu Yunxi felt a little creepy.

Dreams are something that sometimes you have to believe...

But he still suppressed the panic in his heart and patted the back of the old man's hand, "Grandpa Huang, you think too much. You think about it every day and you dream about it at night..."

"As soon as we finished talking, your grandfather came into the house from the outhouse!" The old man tightened Zhu Yunxi's hand again, "She was holding a bowl and put it on the bed and looked at us with a smile. Chongba, eat.

Bar!"

"You miss grandma so much..."

"A bowl with three steamed buns inside! Three big white steamed buns..."

Steamed buns are served as offerings, and the tribute is three.
