After walking for a while, although it was still early, Yunxi saw that Wen Yuan and the others were a little tired. He turned around and ordered the guards to drive the carriage over and go back. He took his three sons and leaned against the wall to wait.
Looking around aimlessly.
Just looking at it, Yunxi suddenly realized that this road was somewhat familiar. He quickly looked at it carefully and saw the gate of a village not far away. He pointed there and said to Li Bo: "This is where the family of Jinwu's avant-garde soldiers lived."
Rifang?"
"Your Majesty, this is the temple of Kingo Vanguard." Although Li Bo himself comes from Habayashi Zuoewe, he is also a Kaminaowei after all, and he has also been to the house of a guard from Kingo Vanguard, so he recognizes it.
"No wonder I feel familiar." Yunxi sighed and said. He thought of Chen Xing's home where he had been.
Li Bo had been by his side as a guard for a long time, and of course he knew the past. When he saw Yun Hei sighing, he understood that he was thinking of something unpleasant. The carriage happened to be coming, and he immediately said: "The carriage has arrived, your majesty, please get in."
."
But Yunxi suddenly thought about it and said, "Let the carriage stop here for now. I'll go into the workshop and have a look."
Li Bo hesitated a little: the 'fang' where the soldiers' families lived was different from other 'li'. The houses and walls were very tight, making it more difficult for them to protect them, so he objected.
But Yunxi didn't care much: "This is the residence of the family members of Jinwu's front guard soldiers. Is there still a guard soldier who wants to assassinate me?"
"But Wenyuan and others still stay here, there is no need to go in." Just in case, Yunxi still left the three children behind.
However, Wen Qi was clamoring to go. He once heard from his mother that his grandfather was an official in Jinwu Qianwei, and they also lived in Jinwu Qianwei's house before they married into the palace, so he wanted to go into the old house in the factory to see
Look, Yu Youyou couldn't do it, so he had to take him with him.
The place was almost the same as he had seen it a few years ago, and there was basically no change. Even though the walls of some houses were more dilapidated, he had never lived here before, so he couldn't tell.
Yunxi walked past the door of Xue's original courtyard, stood there for a while, and told Wenqi that this was his aunt's home. Wenqi was curious after hearing this and wanted to go in and have a look, but Yunxi looked at the door.
The man didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't let him in. He just took a few glances and took him away.
'I remember that Yang Feng was also born in Jinwu Qianwei, and although I gave him a house on Hongwu Street, the decoration has not yet been completed, and he still lives in Jinwu Qianwei's old house, but I want to see him?'
'Or, go to Chen Xing's house and have a look. Speaking of which, I haven't been here since the 29th year of Hongwu. Chen Xing should have a son this year, nine or ten years old?' Yun He hesitated.
While hesitating, he suddenly heard Wen Qi say: "Hey, why are you here?" Yun Xi looked down and saw several children who were playing with Wen Qi on the commercial street just now.
When they heard Wen Qi's voice, they turned around and saw Wen Qi's face full of surprise. One of the children said: "We are from this workshop, why are we not here? You should not be from this workshop, how can you do this?"
Come in?" There are people guarding the gates of the guards' quarters, and ordinary people cannot enter.
Wen Qi recalled what Yunxi said when he walked in, and said: "My father is a general in another guard station. He has acquaintances here, so he can come in."
While he was talking, a slightly older voice came from the side: "Kecheng, why are you still here? My uncle is looking for you, go back quickly."
"Yes, Brother Yonghua." A child who looked to be five or six years old in the crowd agreed, walked to the older child, and wanted to go back with him.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind them: "You guys stay here."
Hearing this, the older child stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw a man about twenty-five or six years old smiling at him and saying, "Your name is
"Chen Yonghua", surrounded by several big men in fine clothes.
Hearing this, the child showed a puzzled look and asked: "Why does this sir know my name?" He recognized all the generals in the Wei army. This man looked unusual and must be from a noble family.
Why do his children know his name? Their family has no contact with the families of other military generals in the guards.
'Sure enough, it's him.' Yunxi thought to himself: 'The man in front of me is indeed Chen Xing's son, Chen Yonghua.'
Just now the younger kid called him 'Brother Yonghua', that's fine, he might be a person with the same name. But he also called the kid 'Kecheng' before, and he happened to know that Yang Feng's son is called Yang Kecheng, and he is also related to Chen Yonghua.
, if a person's name is a coincidence, then it's not a coincidence that two people's names match up, right? So I asked about it and found out that he was indeed Chen Yonghua.
Yunxi walked up to him, looked at him carefully, and saw a look of excitement on his brows. He couldn't help but think of the man who died for his wife. He reached out and touched the top of his head and said with a smile: "You have already
You're so old, you were just over three years old when I last saw you."
For some reason, Chen Yonghua remained motionless as if he had been hit by a restraining spell when Yun Xi came over, letting him look at him. He didn't react until Yun Xi spoke. He felt quite surprised and asked: "My lord.
Do you recognize your late father or grandfather?"
"Of course I recognize your father. Your father and I were very close back then. My surname is Zhu, just call me Uncle Zhu." Yunxi said this and asked, "How are you doing now?"
Chen Yonghua somehow said very sincerely: "My family is fine. I heard from my grandfather that I have a future as a hereditary commander, and my salary is paid into my account every month; my grandfather himself also has an official position in the Wei, and also has a salary."
A share of money and food; it was said that the emperor rewarded our family with many things and land, and these lands produced output every year, so our family lived a very good life."
The life of the Chen family is indeed pretty good. Everyone knows that his father died to protect the emperor. Although six or seven years have passed, he may think of it one day and ask. Besides, there are relatives taking care of him, so there is no
People bully their family.
Yunxi looked at his face and saw that he was not lying. He felt a little more at ease and asked a few more questions in detail. Chen Yonghua answered them one by one.
Yunxi was about to ask again, when suddenly a childish voice came from behind: "Dad, who is this person?" Wenqi was originally talking with the children, but when he saw Yunxi pulling Chen Yonghua and asking questions, he was heartbroken.
I was curious, so I came over and asked.
"Qi'er, this is the son of a man who was very close to my father back then. Come and call me brother Yonghua." Yunxi said to him.
The surrounding guards immediately gasped! A prince called the guard's son eldest brother. Even if the guard had sacrificed his life for Yunxi, this was too much. But they immediately showed happy expressions: Chen Xing was also their senior.
, he died fighting for the emperor, and the emperor took such good care of his descendants, which shows that the emperor is very nostalgic and is by no means a heartless and unjust person.
Although Wenqi had just been educated by Yunxi, he still didn't have a deep concept of status, so after hearing this, he said: "Brother Yonghua."
At this time, Chen Yonghua finally got rid of Yunxi's momentum. When he heard Wenqi calling him eldest brother, he agreed: "This brother is good."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt chilly all over. "There is no wind now, why does it feel so cold?" He was a little strange.
After agreeing to this sentence, he suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming here this time, and said hurriedly: "Uncle Zhu, my nephew is going back with his cousin. Uncle, do you want to come to my house to sit for a while?"
"Uncle, I still have something to do, so I won't go to your house. But uncle gives you something." Yunxi said, took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him and said, "I give this jade pendant to you. It's not easy for uncle to see you once."
, this should be considered as a meeting gift for you." Chen Yonghua thanked him and accepted it.
He turned to look at Yang Kecheng again and asked, "You must be Yang Feng's son, right?"
"Do you know my dad too?" Yang Kecheng asked in a childish voice.
"Not only do I know your father, but I'm also very familiar with him." Yunxi smiled, then asked him a few more questions, looked at him carefully, and asked Wenqi and Chen Yonghua to exchange greetings before letting them go.
After that, Yunxi had nothing to do in Jinwu's avant-garde workshop, so he walked out of the gate and got on the carriage to return to the palace.
On the carriage, Yunxi asked Wenyuan and the three of them: "How did you feel when you left the palace and came to the market today? Wenyuan, please tell me first."
"Dad, my son came out of the palace this time and walked on the street. He saw that ordinary people were busy every day. Although they had food and clothing, they were not rich. The court should treat ordinary people better." Wen Wen
Yao said.
Wen Yao's answer was quite satisfactory, nothing outstanding, but it was not bad. Yun Xi nodded and was about to ask Wen Yuan when he suddenly remembered what he had been writing in a notebook with a pencil when he was on the street, and asked again: "
Wenyao, father saw you holding a notebook in your hand when you were walking around the street, what did you write down?"
"Dad, my son just took note of how the people in the shops on this street were dressed and how they looked. Because yesterday the teacher in the history class at school talked about "Three Kingdoms" and talked about the reign of the third emperor of Soochow.
At that time, a minister surnamed Xue was sent as an envoy to the Shu Han Dynasty. After the minister returned, he told the emperor of Soochow that because "all the people in the country had food for them", he felt that the Shu Han court had a big problem, so his son wanted to see how they looked.
"
Wen Yao's words are actually problematic. If you compare a court that was almost finished at that time with the Ming Dynasty now, if it was done with ulterior motives in the court, it would have been overwhelmed by the comments of countless civil servants. Yunxi was on the spot.
It was reasonable to dismiss him from office. However, a seven or eight-year-old child was still his own son, so Yunxi praised him a lot.
Then Wenyuan said: "Father, my son and my elder brother have the same views on the people's life. The court should treat the people better."
"Besides, the business in my son's bookstore is pretty good. Several people came to buy books during the short time I was walking around the street. This is also a place where there are many soldiers in the guards. It can be seen that the literary style in the capital is now at its peak. This is
The blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
"Not bad, not bad." Yunxi said with a smile. Wenyuan was not only reading, but also took note of the people who came in and out of the store at that time. It can be said that it was pretty good.
"Dad, I see those children can't even afford such cheap gadgets. It shows that ordinary people are still relatively poor, and the court should treat the people better," Wen Qi said.
However, Wen Qi was slapped on the head by Yunxi as soon as he finished speaking. "You are imitating the words of the eldest brother and the second brother, right? I think you were just playing on the street, not like your two brothers.
In this way, we carefully observe the lives of ordinary people."
Wen Qi giggled twice and said nothing. Yunxi said a few more words to him, but seeing him like this, he could only stop talking. After all, Wen Qi is only six years old now, so in fact, his reaction like this is normal.
, what Wenyao and Wenyuan did is actually not something that normal children can do, but one of them is the eldest son, who has been held in his arms all day long, and he doesn’t know how to teach him, and the other is the prince, so everyone will subconsciously have more demands on him.
If it is high, the teaching will be above the average level, so it is more extraordinary; and Wenqi is neither the eldest son nor the prince, so there is no pressure. Although he is the same age as Wenyuan, this behavior is normal.
Wen Qi laughed a few times, and seeing that Yunxi ignored his matter, he asked again: "Dad, what is the identity of the person who asked me to call Yonghua brother in Jinwu Qianwei's workshop just now? I have called him.
Brother, why are the guards making gasping sounds?"
"His father was his father's bodyguard. In the 28th year of Hongwu, one year before you were born, Wenyao, and three years before you two were born, my father led troops on a northern patrol and was attacked by the Mongols along the Great Wall.
His father died in the battle to protect your father."
"Dad, my son doesn't think it's appropriate to ask the third brother to call a guard's child brother." The older Wen Yao said: "Even the guard who died protecting his father is just a guard. After all, his status is different from that of the royal family.
It's a bit too much for the third brother to call his son eldest brother."
"According to common sense, what you said is right, but not everything can be said according to common sense." Yunxi immediately said: "What are guards? They are people who use their lives to protect you when you are in danger. In the palace
Inside, besides your parents, brothers and sisters, the people you care most about are the servants you grew up with and often call upon. Outside the palace, they should be your servants."
"It's hard to win over such a considerate person. My father just asked Wen Qi to salute Chen Yonghua. Several guards saw it. They will tell the other guards after they return. In this way, all
The guards all know that my father cares about his old friendship and treats those who sacrificed his life very favorably, so they will definitely be willing to die for his father in the future."
Having said this, he slowly glanced at Wen Yao and the others: "When you get older and have your own guards in the future, you will also win over your own guards in this way, so that they will follow you loyally."
