Uncle Yun's voice came: "The messenger came from the palace——"
"It's fast enough." Zhen Guogong sneered: "I can't wait for the morning meeting tomorrow."
Why does this posture have an ironic meaning of "Don't you want to go, I will make it happen for you" - it seems that the emperor was so angry that he almost ascended to heaven today, and even the calm and gentle character in the past was not fully acted.
Already.
Xu Mingyi followed the Duke of Zhen to the front hall to receive the order.
After the palace attendants left, Xu Mingyi looked at the piece of holy edict in his grandfather's hand and recognized it as Zhan Yunzhu's handwriting at a glance.
Now this palace is truly a nest of snakes and rats.
"Father, my son heard that someone came from the palace to convey the order - are you going to go on an expedition again?"
Just coming back from the Ministry of Rites, the palace officials who were conveying the order outside the palace bumped into Xu Jin, who was standing upright, and hurried to the front hall.
"Well." Duke Zhen Guo looked at his eldest son: "Why are you back so early?"
Xu Jin sighed in a low voice: "My son had a headache, so he came back early..."
Anyway, his position in the Ministry of Etiquette is a casual position. As someone who has been fishing for many years, it is normal for him to come back early every now and then because of headaches and abdominal pain.
"Father, where are you going this time?" Xu Jin sat down and his tone was not relaxed.
"The Li tribe is in rebellion, and I recommend myself to the emperor to lead troops there." The old man said after taking a sip of tea.
My father is not a warlike person - especially after Zhao Zhao was born in the family.
Therefore, there must be a reason for self-recommendation...
Thinking of the last private conversation with his father, Xu Jin couldn't help but feel a little solemn.
At this time, Ms. Cui also came over.
Then came Xu Yun who also heard the news.
The last person to arrive was Xu Mingshi, who had just returned from school.
Tianmu staggered in behind Xu Mingshi, his eyes rolled around, and he consciously found an empty chair and squatted down.
Seeing that the people and birds were all present, the Duke of Zhenguo dismissed his servants and spoke.
"Your Majesty has ordered me to lead the troops and set off in three days. Before I leave, I have something to tell you each. Boss, take care of your family. Be sure to pay more attention to the things I told you to do before -"
Xu Jin said in a respectful tone: "Yes, my son must handle this matter as soon as possible."
The old man looked at Mrs. Cui again: "You have to take care of the trivial matters at home and the two children. Father knows that you are always careful, so I won't say more."
Mrs. Cui nodded and responded seriously: "Yes, my daughter-in-law has written it down."
She doesn't know much about the big things at home, but she can take care of all the trivial matters well.
And since her father had specifically told her this, she had to be more attentive and reduce the time spent on horse-drawing - it was rare for Ms. Cui to make such a big sacrifice.
"Tomorrow, you can study and practice martial arts with peace of mind. If anything happens, go and discuss it with your father and sister. Remember not to make decisions alone." Zhen Guogong explained to his grandson.
Just because he is not in the capital does not mean that everything at home will be safe and sound. You still need to be careful and careful everywhere, and everyone must not be careless, lest there be any loopholes for others to take advantage of.
Zhaozhao is right, if the whole family works together, the chance of winning will be greater.
Xu Mingshi agreed seriously.
During these days, he also knew some things. Even without his grandfather's explanation at this time, he would definitely treat everything around him with caution.
"Zhao Zhao is the one who reassures me the most." Duke Zhenguo looked at his granddaughter and made no secret of his admiration for her. He told everyone: "I'm not at home, so Zhao Zhao takes charge of all major matters at home. You can't make up your mind when things happen.
If you have any idea, go to Zhaozhao to finalize it——"
Xu Jin and others nodded.
Even Xu Mingshi didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face.
After explaining some other matters and arrangements, big and small, the old man picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Looking at his father who had obviously finished speaking, Xu Yun couldn't help but wonder: Couldn't his father see that he was also sitting here?
And if he heard correctly just now, his father even specifically explained a few words about the feeding and weight loss of Tianmu. How come he didn't even say a word about it when he came here?
Looking at the big bird sitting there with full energy, as if facing this family conversation very seriously, the strange feeling of being deprived of his status by a bird came to Xu Yun's mind again.
But he could only sigh silently and comfort himself - maybe his father felt that he didn't go out on weekdays and had no chance of causing trouble, so relatively speaking, he felt more at ease with him.
But when he looked up and saw his father's gray hair, Xu Yun suddenly felt his heart drop, and he couldn't care less about these childish calculations.
And it is precisely because his father is at home that he can still retain such a naive childishness...
But even though his father could still slap him to make him dizzy, his father's hair was still white after all.
The last few times my father has gone off to war, there has never been a time when the family members were not worried or even frightened.
Whenever their father came back, they were happy not because they had won a victory or had great achievements in the family, but because the old man had returned home safely.
Returning home safely is the only thing they longed for before their father left for the war.
"Father." Xu Yun suddenly spoke with an unusually serious expression: "This time, my son will go with you."
Before the world was settled, he and his brother always stayed with their father, and the military camp was their other home.
When he is older and has read more books, he will also help make plans with the military adviser. If the army wins a battle and his father praises him, he will show off and go looking for...
That's too far.
Xu Yun regained his thoughts in time.
What also woke him up immediately was his father's ruthless response.
"What are you going to do?" Duke Zhen Guo had a look of disgust in his eyes.
——Go to confinement in his military camp and destroy the morale of his army?!
"...A son can still be of some use. If he can't do difficult things, he can still serve him tea and water."
"When you slowly get up from the bed and serve tea, I'm afraid I'll die of thirst!" Zhen Guogong said impatiently: "I'll get angry just looking at your face!"
If you can't protect them all, you'll have to go to the battlefield and beat the Li people, and then go back to the military camp and beat the unfilial sons!
Xu Yun sighed with some disappointment and stopped talking.
After all, what my father said was true. Apart from causing trouble for his father, he seemed to have no other purpose.
Zhen Lun started serving tea and water, and there were many people who were more agile than him in serving tea and water.
As my father said before, people like him can't pick up dung in the countryside.
Glancing at the wilted second son, the Duke of Zhen sneered again and said: "If you go less often to choose the cemetery and come back less likely to encounter bad luck, you can think of it as accumulating blessings for me!"
