"You go back and rest first, I will come find you later..."
"Sincerely." Yuan Shu bowed and walked out of the study. Thinking of his father's stooped body, for some reason, he always felt a little bitter in his heart. Unfortunately, he had been hardened in his heart during these years of fighting in the north and south.
It soon calmed down. The steward had already arranged the accommodation for those Yuan Shu's soldiers, and Yuan Shu also returned to his old courtyard.
Yuan Shu had been traveling all these days and was extremely tired. He took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.
In the evening, a servant woke him up. The master of the Yan family was waiting in the guest room. Yuan Shu was stunned. Unexpectedly, he was now a guest and had to meet each other in the guest room. He had to wear clothes tightly.
, he then walked towards the guest room. Yuan Feng was sitting alone in the guest room, with no servants around him. He had his eyes closed and was resting.
Yuan Shu walked in, bowed to him, and sat in front of him.
Yuan Feng opened his eyes, looked up and down, then nodded and said, "Yes, you are the son of a man."
Yuan Shu smiled and said: "Father, my son is now a captain of the Northern Army, with four thousand soldiers under his command... Seal the pass and attack Tinghou..."
"How is Liangzhou... it hasn't suffered a major disaster..." Yuan Feng ignored his boasting and asked instead.
"Everything is fine. Today's Liangzhou is by no means the Xiliang of the past. Its prosperity is not inferior to that of the lands in Guandong. Now I don't have to go into battle in person and sit in Guzang to dispatch..."
"Well... good..." Yuan Feng said softly, took out the tea set, fiddled with the small stove beside it, started to boil tea, and said: "This is what your brother sent me... Today, it's yours
Fortunately...I don't want to drink it on weekdays..."
"Brother? Is he okay?"
"Of course it's great. He has complained to me many times that you are very close to each other and you don't like to look for him... He misses you very much..."
"Oh? He's in Xiliang?"
Yuan Feng glanced at him and said with some displeasure: "You didn't know that he had previously been appointed as the prefect of Hanzhong to succeed Wang Sheng?"
Yuan Shu lowered his head and said helplessly: "My child doesn't know..."
"Oh, he has loved you since he was a child. Even if you are busy with the military, don't forget your brother..."
"My child obeys my command..."
"There is also Cao Ah Man, who has written several times to wish to meet you..."
"He is now..."
"He became the Prime Minister in Sanhan. Of the three of you, you are the worst. Now you are no more than a school captain. Both of them are already serving as pastors. I'm afraid that they will return to Luoyang soon and fight with each other.
I’m in the same row!”
"Well..." Yuan Shu nodded without saying anything.
Yuan Feng lamented. He couldn't persuade this son. As the legitimate son of the Yuan family, why did he have to join the army? He took the tea, put it on the desk, and said: "Eat it... taste this benefit."
The taste of state tea...."
Yuan Shu nodded, stretched out his hand, and took the tea with both hands. Yuan Feng's expression suddenly froze. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yuan Shu's wrist. Yuan Shu was shocked. He raised his head and looked at his father. Yuan Feng stared closely at his wrist.
, said: "What is that?" It turned out that when Yuan Shu stretched out his hand, several staggered scars were exposed on his wrist, and the skin and flesh were split open, which was extremely terrifying.
Yuan Shu put the tea on the desk, withdrew his hand with a smile, and said: "This is the one who was conquering the Shaodang Qiang earlier..." Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Feng interrupted him, and he stood up tremblingly.
He stood up, his eyes were red, and said: "Take off your shirt..."
"Father, how unbecoming is this..."
"I'll teach you how to take off your shirt!!!!" Yuan Feng roared at him. His roar immediately alerted the slaves waiting outside the house. Several slaves hurriedly walked in, only to see Yuan Feng walking towards the young man.
The head of the family roared angrily, and they lowered their heads and walked out again. Yuan Shu looked at his father with some embarrassment and did not move for a long time. Yuan Feng pointed at him and cursed: "How dare you disobey me?!"
Yuan Shu had no choice but to slowly unbutton his clothes and take off his tightly wrapped coat. As he undressed, what came into view were the shocking scars, starting from his neck.
Tao's knife wounds, arrow wounds, and burns were all over his body. There was no intact part of his body. Both the front and back were covered with interlaced scars.
Yuan Feng stretched out his hand and wanted to touch these scars, but he did not dare, and his hand was trembling violently.
His hands never dared to touch these wounds. Suddenly, he started crying like a child.
"Why didn't you tell me!!"
Yuan Feng cried loudly and shouted.
The brave and fearless general was panicked at this moment and was at a loss. He didn't know how to comfort his father. He nervously explained: "Father, I am not seriously injured, these are just minor injuries... You
Look, I can still mount a horse-drawn bow...Here, father, don't cry anymore...", he kept comforting him, but Yuan Feng still cried loudly and did not stop.
Yuan Shu took a step forward and hugged his old father. Yuan Feng was like a child, crying in Yuan Shu's arms. At this moment, Yuan Shu suddenly realized that his father was already so thin. I don't know when, Yuan Shu's
His eyes became moist. The father and son hugged each other for a long time. Yuan Shu clearly remembered that decades ago, here, Yuan Feng held him like this and carefully comforted him.
After a long time, Yuan Feng finally calmed down, wiped his tears, and shouted outside the house: "Come here, take down this Yizhou tea and serve some wine! I want to have a drink with my son!!"
That day, father and son were very drunk and held candles and talked freely.
....
Jianning 19th year, May
Jizhou and Qingzhou suffered from drought and the farmland dried up. At this time, Han Fu, who had served as the imperial censor Zhongcheng, became the governor of Jizhou. Urgent reports from the governors from various places made him a little confused. He had never dealt with local government orders and did not understand them.
Therefore, he hurriedly asked the temple for help. Compared with him, Jiao He, who was the governor of Qingzhou, was not much better and was equally at a loss.
The performance of the two of them made the emperor extremely angry.
In June, Guoyuan, a native of Gaixian County, Le'an County, was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou, and Juju, a native of Guangping, the Cavalry Commander of Jizhou, was appointed as the governor of Jizhou.
Guoyuan was a disciple of Zheng Xuan. He was very good at farming. He was the first to cultivate mulberry trees in the past. He was the best person and the most famous among Zheng Xuan's disciples. This time, in order to prevent the Han Dynasty's granary from suffering continuous major disasters, he
Therefore, the emperor specially promoted this young man to be the governor of Qingzhou. Zheng Xuan's master and apprentice both had two thousand stones, which created a good story.
As for Jushou, he had earlier served as an official for Jizhou, and later Han Fu had been appointed as the Cavalry Commander. As a result of the disaster, Han Fu, as the governor, hesitated and could not act, but Jushou took many measures, such as opening water canals. And so on, it even showed Han Fu's mediocrity, which made the emperor make up his mind to appoint him as the governor of Jizhou. Sure enough, after the two of them took office, they made various measures in time to stabilize the situation.
At that time, all the officials thought that among the three princes, there was a person who was not worthy of his moral character and arrogantly occupied a high position, so there were frequent natural disasters. The rest of the people thought for a moment and suddenly felt that this was very reasonable. Among the three princes today, wasn't it? Is there a traitor? As long as the traitor is cooked, these natural disasters will not happen again!
