Chapter 915 Occasionally there are times when you are worried (make up for what you owe yesterday)
"What's the matter?" Baoqin asked.
"That's right." Yunhe said after considering: "In the battle against Annan from the second half of last year to the beginning of the year, your father and your brother have made great contributions and deserve commendation. I have appointed your father Ye Gao as the commander, and your brother Ye Yiwei
For the hereditary thousand households."
"I already knew about it in the letter sent home by my brother." Baoqin said happily: "My father and brother have made great achievements in the Ming army, and they have lived up to His Majesty's expectations for them."
"However, during a very important battle against Annan, Ye Zigao was accidentally shot by an arrow due to the despicable sneak attack by the Annan people, and died in the battle." Yunxi said slowly.
Baoqin immediately covered his mouth with his hands, but tears still flowed down instantly. Yunxi immediately held her in his arms and comforted her: "I didn't expect that he would die on the battlefield."
"I am still thinking about having a good chat with my father and brother after they return to the capital. I have been working as a maid in the Duke of Zheng's house since I was a child, and I don't spend much time with my parents and brothers; my father and brother are also
After learning martial arts, my father also went to war with the eldest master of the Chang family, and there were even fewer days to get together. But now," Baoqin couldn't help but cry again: "I don't want to be able to talk to my father anymore. Those days before leaving.
Once we say goodbye, it becomes forever."
"I originally arranged for him to be a promotion officer escorting grain and grass, but I didn't want the Annan people to shamelessly attack the grain and grass camp. In order to protect the grain and grass, your father fought a bloody battle with the Annan people until the reinforcements arrived. He was about to wipe out the Annan attack.
There was someone there, but I didn’t expect an Annan man to be hiding in a corner and shooting arrows. Because there was a fire on all sides and the line of sight was unclear, no one noticed it. By the time your father noticed it, it was too late to dodge." Yunxi recounted Ye Zigao's story in detail.
The process before 'death in battle'. Even though he had already known the truth about Ye Zigao's death in battle, he still chose to accept this rhetoric.
"After I learned about it, I immediately issued an order to make him a commander, and ordered the Annan Expeditionary Army to bury him with the courtesy of a count, and hand him over to King Zhu Chanyi to mourn him personally. I also granted Ye Yiwei the title of hereditary Qianhu, and continued to serve as an official in Liangcao Yamen.
Even if Ye Yiwei is never able to perform meritorious service in the future, I will give him the title of Commander in the future."
"I will also canonize your mother as a lady of the third rank, so that she can be respected by the people."
When he heard that his mother was canonized, Baoqin's expression changed slightly, but he recovered immediately and said: "My concubine's mother has two brothers to support her, so she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. It's good to be canonized as a third-grade lady.
But I think my mother would rather the whole family come back safely."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Although not many soldiers were killed in this expedition to Annan, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, and tens of thousands more were injured. They will not recover for a while. There will always be people who sacrifice for the country. Of course I will not
Forget about these people who sacrificed their lives for the country, but all they can do is reward them." Yunxi thought of the many soldiers who died in the Battle of Annan, and his mood became a little low.
Baoqin noticed the change in Yunxi's mood, and immediately wiped away his tears and said: "If the earthen jar is not broken without leaving the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. Although I am sad, I also understand this truth. Although my father died in the battle, he still understands this truth."
Dying for the Ming Dynasty is a worthy death."
Of course Yunxi was very happy that Baoqin understood the righteousness so well. He saw her face was full of tears and she was crying so hard that he felt more pity for her. He hugged her tightly and said: "Although it is a long way from Annan to the capital, the body He cannot be sent back to the capital, but I will include his name in the Heroes' Temple. In the future, if Ye Yiwei can make great achievements, he can be moved to the Heroes' Temple, where people will worship him at all times. At Annan's tomb ceremony, people will also be sent to pay homage from time to time. You don’t have to worry about him having nothing to eat down there.”
"I know that my husband always attaches great importance to those who are loyal to the country, and I am very relieved about this." Baoqin said again.
Yunxi comforted her for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he got up and returned to Qianqing Palace.
Uncharacteristically, Baoqin did not send him to the palace gate today, but Yunxi understood that no matter how deeply she understood the righteousness, she would not be able to adjust to her father's death so quickly, so she didn't take it seriously.
But he didn't know that after carrying Qin back to his dormitory and asking all the servants to retreat, he had an inexplicable look on his face and murmured to himself: "Father, if you die in battle like this, you deserve to die."
…
…
In the afternoon, Yunxi criticized the memorial for a long time. In the evening, he learned about the progress of the Confucian debate. He got up and left the Qianqing Palace. He originally planned to go to the Yanxi Palace in Miaojin, but Huang Fu said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother just sent Someone came over and invited Your Majesty to go to Kunning Palace, and said he had something good he wanted to tell the officials."
"What good thing?" Yunxi asked, seeing Huang Fu shaking his head, he thought for a while and decided to go to Kunning Palace. Xiyao never lied to him, saying that there was a happy event, it must be a happy event.
When he rushed to Kunning Palace, he saw Xiyao and Xiyi sitting together. Xiyi had a happy look on her face, Xiyao also smiled, and Yunlan and her sisters were sitting next to them. These people saw When Yunxi walked in, everyone stood up and saluted hurriedly.
"No need to salute." Yunxi waved his hand to indicate that they did not need to salute. He sat down and was about to ask Xiyao something when he heard Yunlan say, "Brother, thank you very much for what happened the past few days."
Although she did not want to marry anyone other than Yang Feng, she later carefully read the records of women's widowhood in books such as "Da Ming Code" and "Book of Rites", and realized that Yunxi was good to her.
"You are my sister. If my brother doesn't think about you, who should he think about?" Yunxi waved his hand and said with a smile.
The two chatted and joked for a while. Yunxi turned his head and asked Xiyao: "What kind of happy event is it?"
"It's Xiyi who is pregnant." Xiyao said with a smile: "Husband, during lunch, Xiyi suddenly became nauseous after eating. I thought it was a stomach disease, so I went to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment and found out that it was a happy pulse. I’ve been pregnant for almost a month.”
"This is a good thing." Yunxi also became happy. Even though he already has many children, it is still a happy thing to be able to get the woman he likes pregnant.
It wasn't until after dinner that Yunxi's joy slightly decreased, and Xiyao picked out some important matters in the palace to report to him.
While he was listening, Zhiyi suddenly walked in from outside the house and whispered something to Xiyao. Xiyao looked relieved and told Zhiyi to leave with a few words.
"What did Zhiyi say just now?" Yunxi asked.
"In the afternoon of Shen Shizheng, the family suddenly sent someone to call the imperial doctor. I thought that someone in the family was sick, so I hurriedly sent out the best imperial doctor from the imperial hospital, and also sent Zhiyi to take a look. Zhiyi came back from home just now, and The concubine said that it turned out that the sick person was not a family member, but his uncle's family, so I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief," Xiyao said.
"Your uncle's house? Which uncle?" Yunxi asked.
"Uncle Yang is from Yang Feng's family," Xiyao said.
"Their home?" Yunxi suddenly thought of something.
