When Mi Yang entered the inner hall, he saw Guan Yan, a first-time mother on his bed, looking at little Mi Cheng in her arms with loving eyes.
Seeing this scene, a warm smile appeared on Mi Yang's face involuntarily, and his eyes changed from the sharp look just now to extremely gentle.
This is his home.
Mi Yang hid the rattle that he had not yet made in his sleeve, and then quickly walked to the bed with brisk steps.
Mi Yang's current behavior is like that of an ordinary husband and father, without even half of the terrifying look that he had shown just now in front of Meng Da.
Before and after Mi Yang came to the bed, Guan Yan also discovered Mi Yang's return.
Seeing Mi Yang coming back, Guan Yan remembered that she was preparing hot water for Mi Yang to wash herself, but her intention to get up was stopped by Mi Yang's "shhh" sound.
Mi Yang said softly: "Zhongyang is a light sleeper, so don't startle him."
During the Han Dynasty, it became a custom to give children nicknames.
So on the third day after Xiao Mi Cheng was born, Mi Yang nicknamed him "Zhong Yang" according to the customs of the time.
This nickname was not acquired casually.
The reason why Xiao Mi Cheng's nickname is Zhongyang is because he was born in February. One of the elegant names for February in ancient times was Zhongyang.
Hearing what Mi Yang said, Guan Yan covered her mouth as if she had a sudden realization, and then she carefully lay down next to Xiao Mi Cheng again.
Looking at little Mi Cheng sleeping soundly in Guan Yan's arms, the smile on Mi Yang's face became even brighter.
In his sleep, Xiao Mi Cheng seemed to have had some sweet dream, and his plump little mouth was constantly spitting bubbles out.
Such a cute child is his own son, how could Mi Yang not love him?
Little Mi Cheng looked wrinkled when she was born, so there was really no sense of beauty.
But as time went by, Xiao Mi Cheng's face gradually gained collagen and became cuter.
Looking at such a cute son, Mi Yang couldn't help but want to pinch little Mi Cheng's plump little mouth.
But then he thought that he had not washed his hands with hot water and there might be bacteria on his hands, so he resisted the urge.
After looking at Xiao Mi Cheng for a while, Mi Yang turned his attention to Guan Yan.
Compared to the eyes full of love towards Xiao Mi Cheng, Mi Yang looked at Guan Yan with eyes full of love.
Although he was not present when Guan Yan gave birth, how could he, who came from a later generation, not know how painful it was for a woman to give birth?
There is no such thing as painless injections these days.
Judging from the current medical conditions, it can be said that Guan Yan almost risked his life to give birth to his son.
This alone is enough to make Mi Yang grateful to Guan Yan.
The reason why he didn't let Guan Yan get up just now was not only because he was afraid of waking up Xiao Mi Cheng, but also because he wanted to let Guan Yan have a good rest.
At that time, people in the world did not have the concept of confinement, but Mi Yang did.
Mi Yang had not brought Guan Yan and her son to her side before because she did not want Guan Yan to be exhausted during the confinement period.
After looking at Guan Yan, Mi Yang gently sat down next to the bed.
He held Guan Yan's soft little hand and told her everything that happened in the lobby just now.
Guan Yan lay on the bed and looked at Mi Yang quietly, telling her what happened to him recently as if telling a story.
Under Mi Yang's vivid description, Guan Yan's eyes sparkled, and she looked at Mi Yang with even more admiration.
She is very happy.
Her man was a famous general who frightened the enemies in the world, and in the Han Dynasty, he was a powerful governor who could break the golden seal and purple ribbon of life and death.
How could she not admire such a husband?
The reason why Guan Yan is happy is because she is smart and knows:
The reason why Mi Yang would take the time to tell her everything about him every time after finishing his official duties was to relieve her mood.
After all, not long after she gave birth, she received the news that her father Guan Yu had passed away due to illness.
Even because she was weak after giving birth, she never even saw Guan Yu for the last time.
This has always been a problem in her heart.
Perhaps as Mi Yang said to her, he was afraid that she would contract "postpartum depression".
What makes Guan Yan happiest is Mi Yang's care and concern for her.
After Mi Yang finished talking about what happened in the lobby just now, Mi Yang finally said with disdain:
"Meng Zidu actually wants to favor me with his propaganda team. How could he know how I could fall in love with his propaganda team?"
"I Zhongyang, either don't use it, or I have to use the best."
Listening to Mi Yang's disdainful remarks about Meng Da's actions, Guan Yan asked her husband with a smile on her face: "Where is the best propaganda team in the world?"
Seeing Guan Yan ask this question, Mi Yang already had the answer in his mind.
He immediately replied: "One is in Chang'an and the other is in Luoyang."
As the two ancient capitals of China, Chang'an and Luoyang have profound ancient charm. Mi Yang's answer is indeed correct.
But now that Chang'an and Luoyang are under the control of Cao Wei, how can Mi Yang get the best propaganda team in the world?
Seeing the questioning look in Guan Yan's eyes, Mi Yang lowered her body and approached Guan Yan's face, whispering to her:
"There is no need for enemies to give it to you. You can go and get it yourself."
Mi Yang's tone was very low, as if he was saying something natural.
It was just his natural attitude that made Guan Yan realize the great spirit and ambition in his husband's heart.
It seems that the current achievements are far from satisfying Mi Yang's inner ambition.
In this case, when the husband sings and the wife follows.
Guan Yan looked at the long eyelashes that were so close to Chi Chi, she lightly opened her red lips and said to Mi Yang:
"In the future, my husband will send troops north to Guanzhong. General Anbei may be of great use.
My husband's majesty and majesty today should be able to intimidate Anbei and prevent him from ruining my husband's great cause in the future."
"It's just that the emperor should show kindness and power at the same time. Today, my husband's majesty is enough, and the reward cannot be lacking."
Guan Yan's words made Mi Yang stand up. He thought about Guan Yan's words and nodded slightly.
He understood the principle of giving both kindness and power, but he had just punished Meng Da, and it was not easy to reward Meng Da in a short period of time.
Mi Yang then told Guan Yan about his concerns.
Wife, a woman who is equal to her husband.
Mi Yang is not chauvinistic. On the contrary, he is a person who values his family very much.
In addition, Guan Yan had good words for him in the past, so Mi Yang likes to discuss things with Guan Yan.
Everyone in the Yibei Dudu District thought that Deng Ai was Mi Yang's number one think tank, but what they didn't know was that Guan Yan was the person Mi Yang trusted the most and could discuss matters without any scruples.
After knowing Mi Yang's concerns, Guan Yan had already thought about it.
"After your husband returns to Hanzhong, you can expand the lane next to the General's Mansion in Nanzheng City, and then let all your meritorious officials move in and settle down.
At that time, I can often summon the family members of my husband's generals and give them jewelry or brocade.
In addition, I can also summon a group of soldiers' families to make clothes in my spare time, and then reward them to my husband's soldiers one by one.
A safe home means a safe mind, and that’s good.”
Hearing what Guan Yan said, a smile appeared on Mi Yang's face.
He patted Guan Yan's little hand and said: "With you here to comfort my family and reward my soldiers, I will no longer have any worries when I go out to fight."
Mi Yang's compliment caused two blushes to appear on Guan Yan's face, and she no longer looked as witty as before.
But seeing Mi Yang holding her right hand, Guan Yan's eyes flashed with worry, and she asked caringly:
"Is your injury getting better?"
Guan Yan's words made Mi Yang's hand that was patting Guan Yan pause suddenly.
Everyone knows that he made many achievements in the Battle of Xiangfan and achieved great results again.
But no one ever cared about whether he was injured in that battle or how seriously he was injured.
Only his wife Guan Yan would pay attention to this.
Maybe this is the meaning of having a family.
Mi Yang's face showed a gentle look that he had never shown to anyone before, and he hummed softly:
"It's almost good. I think it will take less than a month to recover."
Seeing Mi Yang say this, Guan Yan's caring expression softened slightly.
Some people may think that she appeases her family members and rewards soldiers to gain fame, but her thoughts are not that complicated.
She just wanted Mi Yang's soldiers to protect her husband on the battlefield.
A very simple and simple wish.
Almost at the same time that Meng Da escorted Xiahou Shang and others to Xinye, the edict from Luoyang also arrived in Yecheng.
This edict was issued by Cao Pi. The content of the edict was to ask Wen Hui, the governor of Wei County, to escort the family members of General Liu Bei who were captured back then to Wancheng as soon as possible.
At present, very few people in Cao Wei know the contents of the transaction between Cao Pi and Liu Bei.
As a foreign minister, Wen Hui certainly didn't know.
I just didn't know that Gui didn't know that Wen Hui was appointed as the prefect of Wei County by Cao Pi, and Wen Hui's loyalty to Cao Wei was first-class.
So as soon as he received Cao Pi's edict, Wen Hui began to prepare for the matter.
Although Cao Pi moved the capital to Luoyang after proclaiming himself emperor, because of the importance of Yecheng, he designated Yecheng as one of the accompanying capitals of the Wei Dynasty.
This move by Cao Pi not only ensured Yecheng's transcendent status in Cao Wei's politics, but also made Yecheng a major base for Hebei aristocratic families.
Because there were many aristocratic families in Ye City, even though Wen Hui did not deliberately leak the matter, it was soon known to the children of all the aristocratic families in Ye City.
Even some people in Yecheng who were not descendants of aristocratic families but had some connections also learned the news.
For example, Shi Bao was born into a poor family but was surprisingly popular.
Shi Bao, courtesy name Zhongrong, was from Nanpi, Bohai, Hebei.
He was elegant and intelligent, and his appearance was majestic. He didn't care about details. Because he was so handsome, people at the time said: "Shi Zhongrong is unparalleled in beauty."
Shi Bao came from a poor family and had a humble background. When he was young, he became a farmer outside Xiangcheng under the arrangement of the government.
It was also at that time that he met Deng Ai, who was about the same age as him.
Not long after, Guo Xuanxin, the visitor to Yangzhai, was ordered to go on an envoy to ask for someone to serve as his emperor. The army garrison commander recommended Shi Bao and Deng Ai to him.
After only walking for more than ten miles, Guo Xuanxin said to the two of them: "The queen should be the prime minister together."
At that time, Shi Bao was more mature than Deng Ai. He replied to Guo Xuanxin: "I am an imperial official. How can I get along with you?"
After that incident, because of Guo Xuanxin's appreciation and because Shi Bao's external conditions were better than Deng Ai's, Shi Bao was appointed as a minor official in Yecheng.
But in Yecheng, where aristocratic families gathered, it was almost impossible for Shi Bao to successfully become an official with his background.
Therefore, with no news for a long time, Shi Bao had no choice but to sell iron in the market of Yecheng to make a living.
But there are real benefits to being handsome.
Mayor Pei Guo and Zhao Yuanru were surprised by Shi Bao after seeing him and made a special trip to make friends with him.
Moreover, he often lamented in front of everyone that Shi Bao was of great power and that he should serve as a minister.
With Zhao Yuanru's continuous momentum building, Shi Bao began to gain some fame in Yecheng.
Because of this reputation, Shi Bao met Xu Yun, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Xu Yun, the Minister of Civil Affairs, has certain power to select officials.
Shi Bao originally thought that he would finally be able to hold on until the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly, but he didn't expect that it would be of any use.
A few connections and a reputation were nothing compared to his family background. For several years, Shi Bao had been selling iron.
Cao Cao, who chanted the slogan "Only talents should be promoted", was buried outside Yecheng.
But I didn't expect that Yecheng, where he rested, would be the least meritocratic place in the world. It's really a great irony.
However, it is still useful to have some connections.
For example, Shi Bao relied on this to learn from Xu Yun that a large number of prisoners of war would be going south to Jingzhou recently.
Perhaps ordinary people will not pay too much attention to this matter after learning about it.
After all, those prisoners of war may be important to Liu Bei, but to the scholars in Cao Wei, they are far less important than how to please the Zhongzheng officials.
But after Shi Bao learned about this, his eyes showed an unusual look. He closed the stall early for the first time today and returned to his dilapidated home with a lot of ironware.
After returning home with a lot of iron items, he immediately threw the iron items on the ground in disgust, and then began to look for something among the old bed boards at home.
He was looking for a letter, a solicitation letter written to him by his childhood friend Deng Ai.
After several searches, the slender Shi Bao finally found the dusty letter in a corner.
Deng Ai wrote this letter a year ago.
Even though Xicheng and Yecheng were thousands of miles apart, the letter had already been delivered to Shi Bao after such a long time.
From the dusty letter, it can be seen that the letter has been opened and waxed a long time ago, which means that Shi Bao has already read the contents of the letter.
As for why Shi Bao never went south after seeing the letter Deng Ai sent him?
That's because not long before he received Deng Aixin, he had just met Xu Yun.
At that time, Shi Bao thought that his opportunity to become an official had come.
The allure of Cao Wei, who became an official in Zhengshuo of China, must have been far greater than that of the Han Dynasty, who was still regarded by the world as a barbarian country in the south.
But more than a year later, Xu Yun admired him very much and recommended him to many superior officials time and time again. However, every time Shi Bao reported his hopes, he was disappointed.
Even if he is an iron dealer, he still has heroic spirit.
The repeated contempt and ridicule made Shi Bao feel suffocated in his heart.
Especially when the news of the recent Xiangfan battle reached Yecheng, Shi Bao's impression of the big man in the south changed greatly.
The big Han in the south is capable of competing with the Wei Dynasty!
