Han Dao world

Tang Ji looked at Cai Yan in surprise. "What have you heard?"

"It's nothing, my concubine just heard from Yang Xiu, the minister, that Madam puts the overall situation first, and she is very generous, even His Majesty is grateful."

Tang Ji laughed: "This Yang Shilang..." She closed her mouth again after speaking halfway, and looked at the camp in the distance, with a warm smile on the corner of her mouth. "Mrs. Cai, I heard that you want to live with the Yang family?"

"I have no relatives, and now only the Yang family can have a place for me." Cai Yan said with a wry smile: "My father used to be a colleague of the Taiwei in the past, and they were studying history in Dongguan. They got along very well. My Cai family and the Yuan family are also a family of in-laws. If you think about it, Madam Yuan can protect her for the sake of old love."

"Your father is close to the Yuan family, and I have heard a little bit. But at this moment, I don't suggest you go to the Yang family to borrow."

"Why?"

"If I remember correctly, your father seems to have only you as a daughter and no other heirs."

"It's just as Madam said." Cai Yan let out a long sigh, feeling sore in his heart.

Although his father Cai Yong is proud of her, she is a woman after all. Cai Yong has always wanted to have a son to inherit the family business.Now that everyone is dead, naturally it can't be said.

This vein is considered extinct.

"My father was killed by Wang Situ because of a momentary slip of the tongue. Who else can inherit the unfinished business except Madam?"

Cai Yan frowned slightly, not understanding what Tang Ji wanted to say.

"Your Majesty has aspirations for Zhongxing. In the next ten years or so, there will be turmoil and heroes, no less than when Gao Zu founded the country and Guangwu Zhongxing. Your Majesty's words and deeds should be recorded in the history and passed on to future generations. If Madam can To stay by His Majesty's side, to be a female official like Ban Zhao, to record His Majesty's words and deeds, how can your achievements be inferior to His Majesty's?"

Cai Yan was moved for a moment, and unexpectedly remembered the warm eyes of the emperor.

But then she felt ashamed again.

I have been trapped in the camp of thieves for several years, and I have lost my reputation. How can I be a female official by the emperor's side.

As for Ban Zhao, it was not something she dared to hope for.

But what Tang Ji said was also extremely attractive, and she couldn't help but yearn for it.

For her personally, this is a good opportunity to inherit the legacy of her late father Cai Yong.

For historians, this is likely to be an extremely wonderful history. How lucky would it be to experience it personally and record it one by one?

Even Ban Zhao didn't have such a chance.

"What Madam said is true, it's just me..." Cai Yan hesitated, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

She had heard from Yang Xiu that Tang Ji had a greater influence on the emperor than Empress Fushou. If Tang Ji proposed, the emperor would most likely agree.

But in that case, she would have to be involved in the dispute between Tang Ji and the queen.

"You don't have to promise me in a hurry, you can think about it slowly." Tang Ji smiled. "Anyway, this battle won't end in a day or two. Li Jue is not Li Shi. It's not that easy to deal with."

Thinking of Li Jue, Li Shi's father and son, Cai Yan couldn't help shivering, and wrapped his clothes tightly.

-

"You still have the face to come back?" Li Jue sneered, crushing the golden cup in his hand.

Li Shi knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Hu glared angrily. "Although Ah Shi was invincible, he did his best. It was those goddamn barbarians who refused to obey the general's orders and refused to save him. This caused Ah Shi to lose his strength. Instead of punishing them, you came to embarrass your son?"

Li Jue was furious. "Have you tried your best? Where did his strength go? You haven't figured it out yet?" He stood up, walked behind Li Shi, and kicked Li Shi on the waist. "Look at his waist, it's as soft as a soup cake, can he still sit on the horse's back?"

Li Shi screamed "Aww" in pain, and fell to the ground, curled up into a ball.

In a hurry, Hu spread his arms, lay on Li Shi's body, and shouted angrily: "If you want to kill, kill my mother and son together. Young man, how many are not lewd? Do you think you are a good thing? Back then Falling in love with Mrs. Hongnong Wang, isn't she also like a dog in heat..."

Chapter 92 Give You Another Chance

"I..." Li Jue was so angry that he stretched out his hand and wanted to draw his knife.

What happened to Tang Ji was an eternal pain in his heart.

He didn't expect that Tang Ji wouldn't be able to get Tang Ji to look at him if he kept his voice low.

What made him even more angry was that Jia Xu knew that it was Mrs. Hongnong Wang, but he didn't tell him. Instead, he secretly told the emperor, asking the emperor to issue an edict to take Tang Ji away.

They're all lying to me, they're all despising me.

All should be killed!

When Hu Feng saw it, he hurried forward to hug him, begging bitterly.

Although Li Jue was angry and really wanted to kill someone, he was not as young and strong as Hu Feng after all. After pestering him for a long time, he couldn't break free from Hu Feng, and instead he was so tired that he was out of breath.

Seeing the strength of his nephew, Hu became more energetic. "Ah Feng, you are a person who experienced it firsthand, but you tell me, what happened?"

Hu Feng was speechless.

Although he felt that Li Shi deserved it, but in front of his aunt, he really didn't dare to say that Li Shi was wrong.

As a result, the battle situation became what Hu wanted. Everything was caused by the Feixiong army's disobedience to the command.

Not only was Li Shi irresponsible, but he fought to the last man, severely injuring Shi Sun Rui's position, and was only one step away from successfully breaking through the position.

Li Jue was also a little puzzled.

What Hu Feng said was reasonable, and he couldn't help but not believe it.

He also knew that the Feixiong Army refused to obey Li Shi's command.Judging from the narratives of several hundreds of generals who returned, after Li Shi led his troops into Shi Sunrui's position, they faced the interception of hundreds of people in the infantry barracks, and they did not break the formation, but retreated. This is also true. .

As for why they retreated and when they retreated, several hundred people will hold their own opinions, and it is obvious that some people are lying.

Thinking about it carefully, on the contrary, what Hu Feng and Li Shi said is closer to the truth.

Even so, Li Jue was still angry and scolded: "Before I set off, what did I tell you? It's just to let you sweep the battle. You're better, let Guo Duo rest aside, and run to desperately. Now it's good Well, Guo Duo doesn't know how to laugh at Lao Tzu. This face of Lao Tzu..."

Li Jue slapped his face hard, spraying Li Shi all over his face with saliva. "It's all lost by you."

"Father, it's not that I want to work hard, it's really Guo Duo who refuses to use his strength." Li Shi cried bitterly, feeling extremely wronged. "I wanted to show him as a show and make him pay more attention. Who would have thought that he would be indifferent, not firing a single soldier, not firing an arrow."

Hu's heart ached, and while ordering people to fetch water to wash Li Shi's face, he scolded, "It's really your fault, too. Then Guo Duo is a cunning and shameless horse thief, and Ah Shi is still a child, and he can fight him." Mind? You have been fighting with him for so long, how have you ever won? In the end, you can only let your daughter be a hostage."

Hu's voice was sharp and high-pitched, like a magic voice piercing the brain, which made Li Jue even more irritable.

He unconsciously compared Mrs. Hu with Mrs. Hongnong Wang, and the more he compared, the more angry he became.

This Liangzhou woman is not as virtuous as the Kanto woman, and she is as fierce as a she-wolf.

"Stop arguing!" Li Jue clapped his hands on the table vigorously. "Send troops tomorrow, I will personally fight with Shi Sun Rui to see what he can do."

Upon hearing this, Hu quickly patted Li Shi's face and winked.

Li Shi understood and jumped up. "Ah Weng, this time, I will definitely avenge myself and chop off Shi Sun Rui's head."

Li Jue stared at Li Shi for a while, then gritted his teeth.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance. If it doesn't work, don't blame me for being rude, just follow the military law."

-

After the celebration, return to the plateau.

Many people were still awake, talking, telling stories, and laughing softly around the campfire in twos and threes.

Although only half a catty of meat is given to the meritorious soldiers, everyone can have a full meal. For these people who can only eat one meal in the past few days and have been in a semi-starved state, this big bowl of wheat rice It smells better than anything else.

Some children may have eaten too much, their stomachs are bloated and uncomfortable, and they are lying in the arms of their mothers.

Of course, it might just be kidding.

After eating enough, the women were in a good mood. Knowing that the children were rascals, they held them in their arms, rubbed their stomachs, sang nursery rhymes, and put them to sleep.

When Liu Xie walked past Ding Chong's tent, he saw an unfamiliar face, knowing that it might be the Meng family that Ding Chong brought back from Guo Si's camp, so he couldn't help but take another look.

There are still a large number of captured civilians in Guo Si's camp, and he has no certainty when they will be rescued.

Mrs. Meng was serving Ding Chong and his wife to drink tea. Ding Chong's wife looked down, looking down at her son Ding Yi in her arms, deliberately not looking at Mrs. Meng.

However, Ding Chong nodded frequently to Mrs. Meng, very polite, not at all like treating a concubine or a maidservant.

Liu Xie was somewhat strange, turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Yang Xiu chuckled twice and sniffed.At the celebration banquet today, he drank a lot of wine, a little too much.

"Your Majesty, do you know where this Meng family came from?"

"Could it be Luoyang Gaomen?" Liu Xie knew that the Peiguo Ding family was also a respectable family.Except for a wealthy family in Luoyang, he couldn't think of any other family that could make Ding Chong so polite.

"It's not a high family, but it's not a small family. Her grandfather, Meng Yu, is the younger brother of Meng Ben, the permanent servant. When Ding Youyang first entered Luoyang, he received a lot of cold reception, but he was treated politely under Meng Yu's family. Your Majesty Do you know the reason for this?"

Liu Xie looked at the traitorous Yang Xiu, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and made a note for him in his heart. Then he must file a complaint in front of the Taiwei and let him slap Yang Xiu.

"Why?"

"Because Meng Ben has a good relationship with Cao Teng, and also has some friendship with the former Situ Dinggong Ding Yuanxiong."

Liu Xie let out an "oh", feeling somewhat impressed.

It is true that Meng Ben is a Zhongchang servant, but he is not a Zhongchang servant with a bad reputation like Zhang Rang.Like Cao Teng, he paid great attention to supporting scholars, and his reputation was not bad.Therefore, together with Cao Teng, he was framed by his colleagues and almost lost his life.

Fortunately, Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty was a sensible monarch. Meng Ben and Cao Teng escaped unharmed, but those who framed them died.

As for Meng Yu, he had no impression at all.But with an elder brother like Meng Ben, Meng Yu would not be far behind.

"Dezu, what do you think of eunuchs?" Liu Xie asked casually.

"Eunuchs, most of the incomplete people are mentally abnormal and can't make common sense." Yang Xiu shook his head and said while walking, "Even if there are some people who don't lose their conscience, it's just that they don't do evil. People are not the same."

"I'm sorry I don't agree with what the minister said." A slightly vicissitudes of voice sounded, and Cai Yan came out of the small tent at the side, and bowed. "I have seen His Majesty."

Yang Xiu stopped, took a fixed look at Cai Yan, laughed, and cupped his hands.

"I would like to hear from you."

"Of course there are eunuchs who do evil, but why don't scholars have a mixture of good and bad? Apart from other things, more than fifty members of your family's Yuan family were killed, is it also the work of eunuchs?"

"Uh..." Yang Xiu was speechless for a moment, his reddened face turned black and red.

Liu Xie was surprised. "The whole family of the Yuan family was killed, wasn't it Dong Zhuo's work?"

Cai Yan looked at Yang Xiu, but didn't speak.

Yang Xiu smacked his lips and bowed to salute. "Your Majesty, the subject is drunk, take your leave, take your leave."

Chapter 93

Liu Xie was greatly surprised by Yang Xiu's escape.

It was the first time he saw Yang Xiu in such a mess, as if someone had stabbed his lung tube.

He was very curious, and wanted to ask Cai Yan about the inside story of Yuan's being massacred, but Cai Yan bowed and returned the small tent.

Liu Xie had no choice but to turn around and go to Jia Xu's tent.

Jia Xu was still awake and was studying before the case. Seeing Liu Xie was in the account, he got up to invite him.

"Sir, are you eating well?"

Liu Xie originally planned to invite Jia Xu to celebrate with him, but Jia Xu declined, and finally sent someone to bring some wine and meat.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The minister's poems and books are served with wine, and the meal is very good."

"Mr. Yazhi." Liu Xie laughed twice. "I was supposed to talk with my husband by candlelight at night, but I have to train soldiers tomorrow, so I don't bother you. I just want to inquire about something, and I wonder if my husband can tell you."

Jia Xu's eyes flickered slightly. "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to ask about the matter Mrs. Cai mentioned just now?"

Liu Xie nodded.

When Yuan Shi was killed, he knew a little bit of news, and he thought it was Dong Zhuo's order, but he didn't think there was a story behind it.

"When the Yuan family was killed, the minister was in Shan County. The specific details are unknown."

"Ah..." Liu Xie was a little disappointed, but he couldn't force it, so he had to say haha ​​and was about to leave.

"Speaking carefully, the subject is just like His Majesty, a little puzzled, and I still have doubts."

"What's the problem, sir?"

"Your Majesty still remembers where Dong Zhuo was when the Yuan family was killed?"

Liu Xie searched carefully in his memory, and suddenly realized something.

He couldn't remember the specific details, but he remembered that Dong Zhuo was not in Chang'an when the Yuan family was exterminated.

The person in charge at that time was Situ Wangyun.
