When the newlyweds Guo Rong and his wife arrived, Guo Wei naturally followed suit and stopped the court meeting, which was unfavorable to him.
However, the ministers did not leave immediately. Only Wang Jun escaped from the side door with a straight face. Guo Wei stared at him but did not stop him.
Guo Zongyi was confused at the moment. When did his father get married? He was so tight-lipped about him, and when did he decide to come to Beijing for an audience? Why was there not a single word mentioned in the letters over the past few days?
He stared blankly as Guo Rong led Fu from outside the palace to the front steps. The future Empress Da Fu was only twenty-three years old at the moment, which was the most beautiful age in a woman's life.
She is wearing the fourth-grade royal imperial robe of the State of Wei, with a coat with wide sleeves, a long skirt with a silk skirt, shiny brocade and colorful silk ribbons.
Wearing a crown of gold and jade with feathers on the head, a waist ornament covering the knees, a pair of white jade pendants, and a sapphire ribbon ring. As he walks, the pendants jingle and flowers grow under his feet.
The two came hand in hand from outside the palace. The man was heroic and the woman was delicate. They were Tanlang Xie's daughter, a match made in heaven.
Most of the ministers were well-educated people, and when they saw this glorious scene, they were all inspired by poetry, and they each recited two sentences as a congratulation.
Guo Rong, with a spring breeze on his face, led Mr. Fu to salute Guo Wei, and then looked at his son. Seeing that he was dumbfounded and staring at his new wife, he couldn't help being slightly angry and yelled: "Da Lang!"
Only then did Guo Zongyi come back to his senses. His handsome face turned red, and he awkwardly greeted Guo Rong: "My dear, hello."
Then he turned to Mrs. Fu on the side and said, "I've seen..." He didn't realize it but was speechless. What was this stepmother called in the Tang and Song Dynasties?
Seeing him hesitating and hesitating, Guo Rong felt his face was dull. He glared and said bitterly: "Just call me aunt."
As if he had been pardoned, Guo Zongyi said to his aunt and stepped aside.
Mrs. Fu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the sound was like a clear spring. She looked over with a pair of water-cut autumn eyes, smiled and gave him a gift in return: "Da Lang."
After congratulating each other, all the ministers did not dare to stay for a long time and resigned one after another. Guo Wei also took his son and his family to the Yanfu Palace in the Forbidden Garden.
On the way, Guo Zongyi approached Guo Rong and asked dissatisfiedly: "When did Aye get married? Why didn't you inform the child?"
Guo Rong was greatly surprised: "Don't you know now? Besides, if I get married, what do you want me to do?"
Guo Zongyi hesitated for words. Thinking about it carefully, he really had nothing to do with him. Besides, both of them had remarried, so there was no arrangement. He had no chance to have a meal, but he still had lingering doubts, so he immediately asked: "Then Aye is coming."
Jing, why didn’t you inform me in advance?”
Guo Rong was so angry that he raised his palm fan and slapped Guo Zongyi on the head: "I have to report to you what I did?"
Guo Zongyi was slapped and felt aggrieved. He covered his head and sneaked to Guo Wei, wanting to complain, but Guo Wei laughed and said: "Be honest, what you said is right. How can I ask my son for everything?"
Tell each other."
Seeing that Guo Wei didn't help him, Guo Zongyi sighed and retreated to the end, following step by step.
When they arrived at Yanfu Palace, Concubine Dong De was already waiting there. They greeted each other and sat down in the hall.
Guo Wei's eyes swept over his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson one by one. He sighed and said: "It's rare to have a reunion today. Why don't we hold a banquet here tonight? Please invite Li Chongjin, Princess Shou'an and the others to come together and make it lively."
Everyone was happy, but Guo Rong had a worried look on his face. Seeing this, Guo Wei realized something and asked, "Are Rong'er worried that Wang Jun will bully you because of official business and won't let you spend the night in the capital?"
Guo Rong nodded hesitantly, admitting such a thing in front of his newlywed wife, it was indeed shameless.
Guo Wei stroked his beard and laughed: "Don't worry, Wang Jun doesn't dare to take the lead now."
When Guo Rong heard this, he was greatly surprised: "Why? Could it be that Aye has restrained him?"
"That's natural." Old God Guo Wei replied calmly, but did not say it clearly. Seeing this, Guo Rong was inconvenient to ask more questions and turned his attention to his son.
"When Dalang is alone in Tokyo, apart from official duties, what does he do in his spare time?"
"Aweng ordered Feng Dao, He Ning, Yang Ningshi and other ministers to teach the children to read. In addition, they also practiced archery and horse training every day." Guo Zongyi answered honestly. He felt that Guo Rong's question was completely chatty.
Nao, he didn’t believe that Guo Rong didn’t know what he did on a daily basis.
"Well, not bad, quite diligent." Guo Rong nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and handed over to Guo Wei, saying apologetically: "Leaving this child alone in Tokyo must have caused a lot of trouble for Aye."
Guo Wei shook his head, with a smile on his face: "Brother Yi, although sometimes he is a bit off-kilter, he still knows etiquette. Although he is young, he is quite talented. The governor's immigration affairs are pretty good. You have given birth to a child in our family.
What a good son and grandson."
Guo Rong was affirmed by Guo Wei, and saw his smile suddenly increase when he mentioned his son. He knew that he really liked Guo Zongyi, so he felt relieved.
Mrs. Fu saw them chatting about Guo Zongyi. After listening for a while, she became curious. She turned to look at the big boy at home and saw him smiling, sitting alone in a corner, thinking about the world.
She suddenly felt that it would be good for her husband's family to have a half-year-old son. She had been married to Li Chongxun for several years and had not given birth to any children. She had always wondered if she had a hidden disease and had seen many doctors to no avail.
The Guo family is not having many heirs now. Before she got married, she had been worried that she would not be able to have a child, which would be a hindrance to her husband's family. Now that she saw that Guo Zongyi was favored by the emperor, she felt relieved. Even if she did have a hidden disease that made it difficult for her to have children, she would not
Major events affecting Guo Rong.
Guo Wei and Guo Rong chatted for a while, then looked at Fu and asked kindly: "How is Marquis Guan doing lately?"
When Mrs. Fu heard the emperor ask about her father, she hurriedly calmed down and stood up to answer: "My family has always been well, and your majesty is thinking about it. This time when my daughter-in-law came to Beijing, she specifically asked her to send greetings to your majesty on his behalf."
Guanhou is Fu Yanqing's cousin. Guo Zongyi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this generation of generals are ambitious, and the nickname is Guanhou.
Speaking of which, he didn't have a cousin yet, so he had to get one before he could be crowned king. Although no one would call his cousin, it was better than nothing.
After chatting for a while, they dispersed and waited for the family dinner in the evening.
Mrs. Fu followed Concubine Dong De to sit in the harem for a while, while Guo Wei left the father and son behind to take a walk in the garden.
It's March now, and the garden finally has some spring colors, spreading among the desolation.
Guo Wei crossed his steps with his hands behind his back, quietly enjoying the long-lost happiness of human relations. Guo Rong and Guo Zongyi followed him on the left and right, both of them silent, but they knew very well in their hearts that Guo Wei must have some purpose in keeping the two of them.
Discuss things together.
After walking around the small garden for three times, Guo Wei finally spoke: "The war in Yanzhou has reached a stalemate. If Murong Ruo cannot quell it as soon as possible, the imperial court's prestige will be ruined. In the future, the four feudal towns will not be peaceful. The suppression of the rebellion is imminent. I want to
What do you think about the personal expedition?"
The father and son looked at each other, and Guo Rong answered first: "My son thinks that there is no need for Aye to rush around. Murong Yanchao is now a trapped beast fighting on his own. He ordered Cao Yin and others to surround him more tightly, and Yanzhou will also be in chaos without attacking."
Guo Wei looked at Guo Zongyi again, and he replied: "Sun'er and Aye have the same idea."
Guo Wei nodded, stretched out his hand, put his arms around the shoulders of his children and grandchildren, and said with emotion: "My family still cares about my family. The opponents in the hall today probably all have their own agendas."
Neither father nor son dared to answer this. After a brief silence, Guo Wei said again: "Actually, my personal expedition is not focused on the city of Yanzhou."
Guo Rong was not surprised and only asked: "Aye's idea is to set up a feudal town along the way?"
"Of course." Guo Wei patted Guo Rong's shoulder with appreciation and looked at Guo Zongyi aside. Seeing his doubts, he couldn't help but smile: "Look, you can't guess it. Let's learn from you, Aye."
.”
Guo Zongyi giggled twice and said: "Aweng and Aye are both outstanding people. My grandson wouldn't guess. It's normal."
In fact, he guessed that for such a major event, every move of the emperor must have deep meaning. It was clear that there was strong opposition from the ministers in the Zide Palace in the morning, but Guo Wei still insisted on going his own way. The purpose was definitely not to achieve peace and stability, combined with the submission of orders by the festivals last month.
, Guo Wei is afraid that he has the intention of patrolling the Central Plains to show the power of God.
