The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Yanghebao Cemetery. Today the people from Huai'an Guard came to pay homage to the generals and soldiers who died in the last war.
He Gang from Qianhu Cavalry left the others behind and came to Ma Laoer's tomb alone. He took out a bottle of Fenjiu and two cups, poured wine into the cups, drank one cup in one gulp, and placed the other cup on the tombstone.
before, and then said: "Ma Laoer, I'm here to see you. You usually like to drink Fenjiu from Shanselenium, so I brought a bottle of Fenjiu to see you. I'll do it first as a token of respect. You will definitely do it too.
That's it." He said, pouring the wine in the glass on the ground.
Then He Gang drank another drink, and then said: "Second brother, your family has already announced that they will cancel the engagement with the daughter-in-law I told you about, but the girl fiercely said that since the bride price has been paid, the child will be your family's daughter-in-law."
Man, death is your family's ghost, and then you have to deal with it. Commander Yu wrote to His Highness that he and you should be buried together in the cemetery. His Highness will not reject it. Although you have not married a wife while alive, you can marry one after you die.
."
"I have discussed with them to arrange a ghost marriage for you in a glamorous way, and I will not let you lose face." At this point, He Gang was already in tears: "All the money, Commander Yu and
Ning Qianhu said, they will pay for it, and we can raise a little more, so there is no need to touch your parents' money."
He Gang talked a lot more, and finally said: "Don't bother me after saying so much. You can't hear it every day like before." He wiped his tears and said, "But, I
I still miss you so much!”
At this time, Lu Tou came over. He Gang quickly wiped away his tears. Lu Tou said: "What are you wiping? How many of those who came to worship today did not cry? Don't say that you are deputy to a hundred households, even a thousand households are not crying.
As he said, he patted Ma Laoer's tombstone and said, "It's worth it for you. Some of the soldiers who died in the battle will have tombstones, and there are many rewards at home. It's worth it. If I can fight
I am not afraid of death even if there are such things after death."
Although He Gang disagreed with Lu Tou's words and felt that living alone was the best thing, which was the case for people who had read some books in that era, he could not refute that the pension for those who died in the war was really good.
After a while, it was getting dark, and the conductor Qianshi who led the team asked them to go back together, and the two of them went back.
In Kaiyuan City, Liaodong, the local 30,000 guards were directing the people who were exiled here to clear the snow. The weather was very cold, and soon these people were shivering from the cold, and the people in charge had to ask them to stop and rest for a while.
Two young men gathered together, and one of them said: "Damn, it's so damn cold in Liaodong."
Another said: "Who said otherwise? We are exiled here. We might as well go to Yunnan. It's still warm at least. Alas, who would have thought that the couple who knocked on the door really had something important to report. Morning
You know I will never dare to delay."
The first one said: "Xiao Zhao, what's the use of this now? It's better to say something useful. I think the best thing now is to be able to enter the Thirty Thousand Guards, then they are not prisoners but soldiers. At least there won't be heavy snow.
Come out and clear the snow."
"His Royal Highness the King of Han has sealed the throne in Kaiyuan. When he gets here, he will definitely expand the guard base. Then it will be our opportunity."
These two people were disciples of Chang Jizong more than two years ago. The former was called Chang An and the latter was called Zhao Xing. Later, they were exiled to Liaodong by the Chang family for some reason because of some misunderstanding. This was their third year in Liaodong.
Already.
Zhao Xing said: "According to what you say, it would be best to fight, so that we can have hope of making meritorious service."
Chang An said: "That's it, it's good to have a war."
Zhao Xing spat and said: "You are a person who has practiced, but I have not. If you go to the battlefield, you may die. I don't want to go to you."
Chang An said: "Elm head!"
Just as Zhao Xing was about to retort, the person instructing them to clear the snow blew his whistle. They stopped chatting and got busy and continued to clear the snow.
The memorial sent by Huai'an Guard asking for a joint burial arrived in front of Yunxi on the 20th. Yunxi was in a dilemma.
The population of the Ming Dynasty is not large now, and he doesn't like to imprison women and make them widows, let alone martyrs. But if he doesn't agree, then most of the things he did in Xuanfu will be compromised. He spent so much time in Xuanfu
, isn’t it because he wants to turn a bad thing into a good thing and win the favor of the army?
And Lao Zhu also agreed to be buried together. Yunxi thought about it for a long time, because this matter slightly involved a major decision in his future, so he hesitated. Finally, Yunxi decided to separate the soldiers and ordinary people to formulate policies.
Agree with this petition.
Soon, February came and the martial arts hall started. When Yunxi was giving the usual opening lecture, he noticed that Zhang Fu was listening below. A lot of time had passed and there were many things in the middle, so Yunxi had already told Zhang Fu to come.
I forgot about it. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fu came to the capital to teach martial arts.
Yunxi doesn't plan to pay much attention to Zhang Fu. The current Zhang Fu is completely different from the Zhang Fu's past experience in the history books of his previous life. It's hard to say whether he can become a famous general. Everything will have to wait until Zhang Fu is used on the battlefield.
Let’s talk about it when the time comes.
On the second day of Kuimao, Yunxi met Jixi, Gaochi, Youdou and others at Longwandu in the west of the capital and said goodbye.
Lao Zhu may have ordered the prince Zhu Shangbing of each vassal king to return to his fiefdom to assist his father after the New Year this year because when Qin King Zhu Ping died, his eldest son Zhu Shangbing could not see him for the last time. Today is Jixi, Gao
Chi, there will be a day when they return to their fiefdom.
After Yunxi, Jixi and Gao Chi finished their greetings, they found Youdou and said, "The play about Wei Wu that I asked you to write last time was good. Now many theater troupes in the capital are performing this play. Brother Wang is really amazing."
Well."
Yunxi's original intention was to compliment him, but in this era, opera troupes were untouchables and were discriminated against. Although people who wrote operas were not good at it, they would be considered to be unprofessional. If Yunzhen hadn't really liked opera, he
I don't know how to write.
Youdou has been with Yunxi for a long time over the years, and the two often chat about things related to opera. I know that he does not mean to look down on opera actors and actresses. Although Youdou is strange, he will not misunderstand Yunxi.
.
Youdou said: "What am I? I'm far behind Guan Hanqing and others in the former Yuan Dynasty. I'm just happy."
Just as he was talking, King Zhu Song of Han who came to see him off came over and said with a smile: "Yunxi, don't you usually have a good relationship with Jixi? Why are you holding Youdou's hand now?"
Yunxi also smiled and replied: "Uncle Twenty, I am not always on good terms with Ji Xi. I am on good terms with all my brothers, right?"
Zhu Song smiled and said: "Yes. But now it's time to set off. Let's send them back to the fiefdom."
Yunxi knew that Lao Zhu was more superstitious and that gods wanted an auspicious hour in the zodiac, so he said goodbye to Ji Xi, Gao Chi, and Youdou and let them go. The eldest son of Chu King Zhu Zhen was only two years old and was still in Wuchang, and Qi King Zhu Su's
The prince was not allowed to return to the throne when he was less than ten years old, so only the three of them returned.
In the following time, Yunxi was carrying out the familiarity with government affairs step by step before he succeeded to the throne.
