Chapter XXVI
When Li Xun learned that he was appointed as the judge of the prison army and went out with the army, his mood was undoubtedly extremely excited, but after Li Mancang learned the news, he was furious, angry, and chased Li Xun all over the house for a good beating.
The father beat his son, it was justified, how dare Li Xun fight back, he could only hug his head and escape from home.
"The older the old man gets, the more temper he gets, and he is too ruthless, I really doubt that I am his own child."
Li Xun had a blue nose and swollen face, and the clothes on his body were also messy, walking on the street, scolding and scolding, his face full of anger and grievances.
"Brother Dog, you are also at fault, you don't tell your father-in-law about such a big thing, no wonder your father-in-law is so angry."
Xiaolian persuaded and comforted on the side, just now Li Xun was chased by Li Mancang at home and ran all over the house, she couldn't persuade on the side, and finally Li Xun escaped from home, Xiaolian was worried about Li Xun, so she followed.
Li Xun reached out and touched the bruises on his face, and suddenly bared his teeth in pain, and scolded Li Mancang for being a bastard again.
"The old man is only one of my sons, if I tell him about this, how can he agree?"
Xiaolian said with some concern: "Brother Dog, isn't our life very good now?" Isn't it dangerous to fight a war that will definitely kill a lot of people? ”
Li Xun retorted: "I don't want to be a big official, and I don't have any ambitions, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking now, just live like this for the rest of our lives, it's actually quite good, it's just that!" I am only eighteen years old now, and I don't take advantage of my youth to go out to see the world, and in a few years, when I get married and have children, there are many trivial things at home, and I am afraid that I will not have this mind at that time. ”
Xiaolian glanced at Li Xun secretly, and couldn't help but remember what Li Mancang said last time, her pretty face suddenly turned a little red, and she lowered her head slightly.
Many passers-by saw Li Xun's bad appearance, pointing, covering their mouths and snickering, Li Xun rolled his eyes, without any shame, and went shopping by himself.
Not far ahead, there were many people surrounding there, and Li Xun was also bored now, so he pulled Xiaolian over.
Squeezed to the front of the crowd, I saw a naked man, kneeling on the ground, constantly kowtowing to the ground, his head was already blurred with flesh and blood, and on the ground behind him, there was an old woman, who did not move at all, her whole face was very white, without any blood, and she had been dead for a long time.
Most of the people around turned a blind eye, few people threw down the money and things, and on the ground in front of the kowtow man, there were only dozens of copper coins, Li Xun shook his head, he couldn't imagine that the people in the capital were so cold.
Li Xun touched it in his arms, and came out in a hurry, but he didn't have any broken silver on his body, only a few silver tickets.
Looking at this person's bloody forehead, sturdy body, and a dignified manly husband, for the sake of his relatives, but he kowtowed here to beg for money, Li Xun felt compassion in his heart, sighed, took out a hundred taels of silver ticket, and threw it on the ground in front of the man.
"One hundred taels, this person is really generous!"
The onlookers saw the denomination of the silver ticket on the ground clearly, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Li Xun in surprise.
The man glanced at the silver ticket on the ground, his whole body was shocked, and he raised his head, Li Xun saw this person's face clearly, he was quite handsome, and his eyebrows revealed full heroism, but there was a cyan text tattooed on his left face, Li Xun suddenly realized, it turned out that this person had committed a crime and been a prisoner, no wonder there were so many onlookers, but few people reached out to help.
"Thank you Gongzi."
The man said with excitement on his face.
Li Xun stepped forward to help him up and said silently: "Take the money and bury your relatives!" ”
With that, Li Xun turned around and was about to leave.
"Eun Gong, please stay."
The man stopped Li Xun and bowed his hand and said: "In the lower Ouyang Li, I also ask Engong to leave his address, stay in the lower part and bury the old mother, and I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life to repay the great kindness." ”
This kind of scene, Li Xun in the past, has seen too much, most of them are poor, and they are sold as slaves on the street in exchange for silver taels to bury their relatives.
Li Xun shook his head and said with a light smile: "A mere hundred taels of silver is nothing to me, and it is not worth your effort." ”
After that, he pulled Xiaolian and turned around and wanted to leave again.
Ouyang Li said loudly: "The grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by the spring, and I also ask Engong to leave his name, Ouyang Li is willing to serve his son with a humble body." ”
"Your parents gave birth to you in the world, they must hope that you will one day get ahead, make meritorious achievements, and glorify the lintel, and who wants to see their children be slaves for life, and never come out, I read that you are a dignified seven-foot man, but you are so humiliated on your knees, so you can help, and have no other thoughts."
Li Xun turned his head violently, looked directly at Ouyang Li, said these words in a deep voice, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Ouyang Li, after you bury your mother, take the remaining money and do something to comfort your mother's spirit in the sky." ”
Ouyang was a seven-foot man like this, and when he heard Li Xun's words, he couldn't help but shed tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Li Xun a few times, turned around and picked up his mother's corpse, and strode away.
Xiaolian grabbed Li Xun's arm and said with admiration on her face: "Brother Dog, you are so great." ”
Li Xun shook his head: "It's nothing. ”
After this incident, Li Xun's mood is much better, there are too many people in the world who are more unfortunate than himself, he was just beaten by his father, what is it?
Li Xun took Xiaolian's hand and said silently, "Let's go back!" I'm having a good talk with the old man. ”
Xiaolian clenched Li Xun's hand and nodded with a smile on her face.
......................
"Zhao Lang, are you still angry with your concubine?"
At noon, Zhao Zhi arrived at Changle Palace, his face was always straight, Li Yi was talking beside him, and he ignored it.
Zhao Zhi said coldly: "Yaya, you and I are husband and wife, what can you say to me clearly, why do you want to say it in the mouth of a fake shepherd?" ”
Zhao Zhi said the words, and the whole head of the shepherd on the side suddenly lowered, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the ancestral training of Taizu, how dare the concubines dare to speak and seek positions for their own sons and nephews in front of His Majesty, I asked the shepherd to talk about this matter in front of His Majesty, and I didn't take it seriously, but I just said it casually, where did I think it would make Your Majesty angry and angry."
Li Yi's eyes were a little red, tears slowly flowed out, and he sobbed and said: "My Li family is thin now, and the younger generation is only a dog, and the concubine doesn't ask him to have much success and be a majority of officials, I just hope that he can have an official position, which can be regarded as a glorious lintel for my Li family." ”
Zhao Zhi sighed and stretched out his hand to hug Li Yi: "You and I are husband and wife, if you have anything to say in the future, even if you say it bluntly, I won't blame you." ”
Li Yi leaned on Zhao Zhi, nodded slightly, but looked at Mu Gong, and said softly: "Mu Gong, why do you say everything to Your Majesty?" ”
The shepherd bent down and said humbly: "The saint is the master of the slave, how dare the slave have anything to hide." ”
Li Yi hurriedly spoke for Mu Gong next to Zhao Zhi's ear: "Zhao Lang, you see how loyal Mu Gong is to you, if everyone in the palace is so thoughtful, Zhao Lang won't have so many worries." ”
Mu Gong kept bending over, but his eyes narrowed, and there was a smile on his face, and his mood was finally relaxed.
Zhao Zhi glanced at Mu Gong and smiled faintly: "Mu Gong has followed me for many years, and his loyalty naturally goes without words. ”
"Slave Xie Your Majesty."
Mu Gong knows that the breath in Zhao Zhi's heart has passed, following the emperor for so many years, Mu Gong knows what he is like, Zhao Zhi is very serious, the city government is also very deep, and he is quite suspicious, but if you are loyal to him, tell him the truth, and do not hide anything, even if you do something wrong, it will be a big deal.
"Zhao Lang, if you feel embarrassed, forget about the dog's business, let him live a dull life for the rest of his life, that's it."
Li Yi stroked Zhao Zhi's chest and said softly.
Zhao Zhi said lightly: "You and I are husband and wife, and the dog is also my nephew and nephew, rest assured, I will appoint the dog as the judge of the prison army, and go out with the army, if he fights, I will definitely give the dog a future, so that you can be noble and glorious in the lintel." ”
