Chapter 2115 The curtain call of some brothers, and the final marriage of lovers
At the time when the elite military brigades of the Qi Dynasty were dispatched one after another according to the imperial edict, they gathered in the western territory of the original Xia Kingdom, and Xiao Tang also began to prepare for his personal expedition to the Western Regions to lead various armies to start a national war with Yelu Dashi. However,
After all, everyone has to go through life, old age, illness and death, and some close friends who have been born and died together for many years will inevitably be seriously ill and old, and can no longer do their best for Xiao Tang...
Among them, Sun An, the founding general of the Qi Dynasty, suffered a recurrence of the disease when he returned to the court after conquering the Xia Kingdom. He also suddenly fell ill due to overexertion during the march and war. To this day, he still has to stay in bed all day long to recuperate, and his body has deteriorated.
It's not as good as before.
Xiao Tang knew that according to his original trajectory as a dragon slayer, he suddenly fell ill and died in the camp after conquering Wang Qing. Sun An had already contracted the disease once before. Fortunately, a famous doctor treated him in time.
He just saved his life, but now it seems that Sun An still has a hidden disease. Not only is he no longer suitable for the battlefield, but he may even be taking care of the daily duties of the commander, which may aggravate his condition...
...
So Xiao Tang went to visit Sun An in person and had a heart-to-heart talk with them. Sun An, who was originally nine feet tall and eight inches wide and very strong, had a sickly look on his face at this time. He knew very well that his body was very weak.
It was difficult for him to work hard to support him any longer, so he simply refused Xiao Tang's arrangement of teaching him to accept a casual position and receive a salary without having to go to office, and said with relief: "The humble minister killed someone to avenge his father, abandoned his home and fled, wandering around the world, and was lucky enough to meet him.
Your Majesty gathered together for righteousness, and later did many great and vigorous things, it still seems like in a dream... Even if you die of illness now, this life is not in vain... And your Majesty's generous rewards are enough for the humble ministers.
I have lived a prosperous and happy life. Now our famous generals and good ministers are like the ministers who have crossed the river. Even the humble ministers can feel at ease even if they resign. Why should I be an idler who has nothing to do with his body? It is better to retire after success and only focus on taking care of his health and hope for your majesty.
Take good care of it. When Wei Chen's condition gets better, there will still be a chance to meet in the future..."
Xiao Tang sighed deeply when he saw this, and accepted Sun An's insistence. Sun An, who had returned his official title due to illness in advance, would recuperate in seclusion and enjoy family happiness with his family. He died of illness seven years later. Meng Qi Chaohou
After being rewarded and subsidized, the family moved back to their hometown according to Sun An's wishes, recruited tenants and farmers, managed a large farmland for their livelihood, and became a big family in Jingyuan for generations.
Another important official in the imperial court, Wen Huanzhang, inevitably died of illness due to his old age. His son received instruction in the Imperial College, and when he was young, he served in local affairs. During his tenure, he made quite a lot of political achievements, and then
After being promoted, he went to the capital and became the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Many of Wen Huanzhang's descendants also served as civil servants in the Qi Dynasty. It was passed down from generation to generation and became a well-known scholarly family in the Central Plains.
Wang Jin, who was originally in charge of the training affairs of the horse and infantry units in Shuibo Liangshan, and then devoted his main energy to teaching martial arts to the sons of distinguished generals and families, also resigned because of his age. Before resigning, he had a close relationship with Xiao
During the meeting with Tang Dynasty, Wang Jin also said with emotion: "Wei Chen has also said goodbye to Lin Chongxian brother. Now there are successors to the talents of the disciples taught in the Wushu Academy, and at that time Wei Chen and Senior Zhou Tong Yu Xiao
The family focuses on teaching young military strategists, and nephew Yue Xian is the most diligent and hard-working. Now as a famous teacher, he is also a good teacher, which has been of great help in cultivating generals for our dynasty... Brother Chen Guang in the front department has taken over the post of head instructor of the Imperial Army.
He is also competent enough for everything...
At the beginning, His Majesty rescued me with righteousness and protected me from being persecuted by the traitor who was the second grade student of Yuanshe. Now I am able to return home in honor and glory... Although I have not fully repaid His Majesty's kindness, I still ask myself whether I can do my job as a supervisor.
I don’t dare to slack off at all, but now that there are talents who can take over for me, it’s time to resign and seek leisure. I hope your majesty will grant you..."
Indeed, after working hard all their lives for their dreams, there will always be people who hope to enjoy a leisurely and comfortable life in their old age. Regarding Wang Jin's request, Xiao Tang immediately responded, but even though he had resigned and became an official, Wang Jin was still happy to do so.
As a consultant, he assisted in collecting and sorting out the military classics of the Qi Dynasty. He was good at the knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, whips, maces, hammers, Ge, taos, sticks, clubs, etc.
The secrets of these eighteen weapons and techniques, such as spears and rakes, have all been recorded orally in classics. At other times, Wang Jin was also happy to live a leisurely life. Although he no longer held an official position, he moved to Daming Mansion and Yanjing.
Lin Chong, an old acquaintance who was in charge of the palace affairs department, could still keep in touch with each other from time to time. Until Wang Jin died without any illness, although he had no heirs, he naturally had the court and Juyi brothers to take care of his posthumous affairs, and he was buried in a grand ceremony.
As for what Wang Jin had learned throughout his life, it almost included the weapons and weapons commonly used by generals in horse warfare. All of them were recorded in books and passed down, and they were also taught to future generations who served as military generals in the Qi Dynasty and benefited a lot...
In addition to the close friends and military officials who retired from illness, died, or retired from old age, another incident happened in the inner city of the Qi Dynasty palace during this period: Zhao Fujin, the former imperial concubine of the Song Dynasty, Maode Emperor, entered the palace and was adopted as a concubine by Emperor Xiao Tang
concubine.
Xiao Tang has also fulfilled the promise he made to Zhao Fujin back then. According to the system of two kings and three brothers during the change of dynasties, he gave the Song Dynasty subordinate clans fiefdoms and taught them to live in peace. However, the estrangement between the two at the beginning was because one of them was
The Song royal family was about to get married, and the other was a military general who had married a wife and started a family. Then Xiao Tang broke up with the Song court again. Zhao Fujin, who had run away, was still cold-hearted towards his father and brother, and then...
She has feelings for Xiao Tang, and with her temperament, it is impossible for her to commit herself to the rebel leader who wants to overthrow her family's country.
Naturally, Zhao Fujin had a thousand lovesicknesses and no place to make arrangements in this world. Zhao Fujin lived peacefully with regrets in his heart. Now, in the ordinary season, he has become an old girl. Even his younger sister Zhao Huanhuan, who ran away with her,
Lehe, who had been entrusted to the two sisters by chance, had been betrothed to a local official's family, a son of an aristocratic family who could be said to be talented and pure. However, now the royal family of the Song Dynasty has also surrendered to the Xiaotang Dynasty and proclaimed itself a minister.
The estrangement between Zhao Fujin and Xiao Tang has also disappeared, but this day did come a little too late...
His former father, imperial brothers and even blood relatives were all placed in the fiefdoms assigned to them by the Qi Dynasty. Although Zhao Fujin ran away full of resentment at first, now he has to visit his clan due to emotions and reasons.
My dear, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others saw that when the city of Bianjing was destroyed, the clan members were rescued and returned to the capital by Xiao Tang, and when the palace access control was in chaos, Zhao Fujin, who had not been heard from, suddenly came to visit.
They were both surprised and happy, and after hearing the reasons why Zhao Fujin and Zhao Huanhuan ran away, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan could not help but sigh and feel ashamed, but then they heard Zhao Fujin tell her various experiences of how she had been settled by Xiao Tang over the years.
At that time, some children of the Zhao family heard that Xiao Tang and Zhao Fujin actually had secret feelings for each other...
A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Now that the Xiaotang and Qi dynasties have won the hearts of the people, Zhao Ji and other members of the former clan will no longer expect to restore the old country. However, although Xiaotang is willing to treat them well, if there is another turmoil under the Qi dynasty,
, it is possible that some powerful ministers who were born in the green forest of Liangshan in the imperial court, especially those who hated and hated the Song Dynasty royal family, would come to remonstrate with Xiao Tang that it would be better to find a reason to eradicate the hidden danger. Although it is unlikely, the lives of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and other deposed emperors
, and even the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty are now completely under the control of Xiao Tang, so naturally they cannot help but feel uneasy from time to time.
If Xiao Tang accepted Zhao Fujin as his concubine, wouldn't our lives be safer and more secure?
In order to take reassurance, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan... even had a good relationship with Zhao Fujin in the past, but now they have long disappeared. Zhao Gou, one of the Zhao family's children in the fiefdom, expressed his words one after another, but Zhao Fujin's expression suddenly changed.
, and then walked away. Even though he still had feelings for Xiao Tang, how could Zhao Fujin not feel sad and angry when he heard that his father and brother once again wanted to use her to sacrifice her to others for peace of mind?
Lehe, who was responsible for arranging for Zhao Fujin to visit his father, brother, and relatives, was very thoughtful. After he learned that Zhao Fujin, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, etc. broke up on bad terms, he tried some words and got a rough idea of the future, and Lehe immediately
So he went to the palace to explain the matter clearly. Xiao Tang thought about it after learning about it, and immediately rushed to visit the mansion where Zhao Fujin lived in Daming Mansion. The two had not seen each other for a long time, but when they were talking again, Xiao Tang suddenly
He said: "Your father, brother, and even the descendants of the former Song Dynasty clan, I have promised to treat them well, so I will not break my promise. After all, they are unable to change the general trend of the world. And they use themselves to save others, and they have to
Using you to seek peace of mind, such behavior will inevitably make you feel cold and cold... But now you don't need to pay attention to your father and brother. If it is all about your own wishes, will you be willing?"...
