Chapter Twenty-Six: As a Father and Husband
Due to the defeat of the Xia army at the stone gate, they did not dare to come to this place again in a short period of time under the guard of the Song people. Zhang dispatched a total of 50,000 van soldiers, armor and people, and began to build the city of the water river and the stone gate.
Twenty-two days later, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the two cities were completed. These two cities are named Pingxia City and Lingping Village respectively, and the meaning of them is obvious.
Zhang held a small banquet in the middle of the two cities to celebrate the Spring Festival. Each of the soldiers was given some wine, which was not much, but it was gratifying.
Even in the most tense border areas, the Song people still attached great importance to the Spring Festival, and no dwellings had yet been built in the newly built cities. There was only one barracks and a government in the city.
Even so, the government and barracks in the city were pasted with handwritten couplets and red lanterns, making this empty city look more sold.
Tang Ning felt that his bones were almost good, so he left the big city behind him and entered Pingxia City. Reading the meaning of the chapter, for a long time to come, this will be his main office.
Zhi Keshi has been sent to the front line, responsible for monitoring the movements of the Xia army, and undertaking some scout tasks, which can be regarded as an arrangement for meritorious service.
In this way, even if Tang Ning wanted to seek revenge on him, he couldn't find anyone.
Yao Xiong returned to Xihe Road with his soldiers, and the rest of the reinforcements from other roads also left Jingyuan Road after the Battle of Shimen.
Zhe Keshi's subordinates also left, and he himself was left here to make up for his mistakes, and this matter was also nodded by Chong Pu.
The city built in twenty-two days seemed to Tang Ning to be more than a tofu scum project, but he didn't see the scene of 50,000 people busy in full swing, and if he did, he wouldn't have this idea.
Later, when he learned about this, Tang Ning was very regretful. 50,000 people working together is not something that can be seen at any time. Even if it is a cultivated field, as far as the eye can see, there is no sight of 10,000 people working together.
A few months ago, Tang Ning received a letter from Wang Shi, saying that the family had arrived in the capital. The official family specially sent an envoy to guide the way, and brought the family to the room near the left side of Xiangguo Temple.
At the same time, Wang Shi also said very meaningfully that Tang Ning actually had a house in the capital, which was really unexpected.
In addition to these, Wang Shi also said that Brother Zhou took good care of them and moved over, except for herself, everyone else didn't know where to go when they went out. It was the eldest brother and sister-in-law who helped out before and after they really settled down.
I also want Tang Ning to go back after the battle and find time to invite my eldest brother and sister-in-law to a meal.
At that time, Tang Ning was busy fighting with Wei Ming Ah Wu, and the battle was very fierce, and he forgot to reply to the letter all of a sudden. Today, Wang Shi wrote another letter and sent it, with three sentences on it
Why not reply? The font is slender but powerful, which is Wang Shi's handwriting.
Why not reply? The font is delicate and smart, this is Liu Yier's handwriting.
Why not reply? The font is scribbled, and at first glance it is the handwriting when the doctor prescribes the prescription, which is that Qi Xianyu did not run.
The three wives jointly wrote a letter to question, and Tang Ning had to pay attention to it. After a moment of silence, he began to write, explaining and asking for forgiveness from his three wives.
When the letter was sent to Tokyo City by the post envoy, Zhao Xu had already received the battle report of the great victory at Shimen Gate for many days.
But he wasn't happy at all, because there was a fire in the backyard.
What is the cause of all this, Zhao Xu doesn't want to know anymore. Princess Fuqing, her lovely daughter is sick. Over the past few months, countless famous and unknown doctors have been searched, but to no avail.
After Zhao Xu dealt with the government every day, he left all the remaining time for this cute and poor child. Maybe he is not a qualified emperor, but he is trying to be a qualified father.
Today, Zhao Xu is still as usual, after retiring from the dynasty, he took the official documents he wanted to deal with and went to the Meng family's dormitory to accompany his daughter. If she falls asleep, she will hurry up and process the official documents.
If she doesn't sleep, she will wait until the night to leave, and then go back to the imperial study to deal with it.
However, as soon as he entered the dormitory today, Zhao Xu saw Meng Shi with a cloudy face. Zhao Xu walked up and hugged her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”
A tangled look appeared on Meng's face, she looked at Zhao Xu, bit her lip and said, "Official, concubine...... There is one thing about the concubine, I don't know if I should tell the official family......"
Zhao Xu looked at his daughter who was sleeping soundly in the bed, and laughed softly: "What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you are my queen, do we need to hide anything between us?" ”
To be honest, Zhao Xu doesn't feel good about this woman, the first reason is that she was married by the Empress Dowager Gao. The second reason is the problem of Meng's nature.
Before the death of the Empress Dowager Gao, this woman was very domineering. collided with the eldest princess's car, and after hurting herself, she had to apologize to the eldest princess. is always domineering in the harem, whether it is to meet the minister by herself or not, there are only a handful of people who have not eaten her face.
Before Empress Dowager Gao died, although her domineering posture was slightly restrained, it was still not much better. Zhao Xu also disliked her because of this.
As a queen, she wants to be the mother of the world. If the queen herself can't set an example of tolerance and generosity, and can't help the emperor buy the hearts of the people in the world, at least don't cause trouble to the emperor......
However, as the saying goes, a husband and wife are a hundred days, and Zhao Xu is a person who values love. When it comes to relationships, he has always been single-minded.
Whether it is Liu Qingjing, who was opposed by her parents and finally had to work underground until now, or Meng Chongzhen, who was forced to endure by her parents when she arranged a marriage, the two women Zhao Xu are unwilling to give up easily.
If you can stumble all the way to the end, don't give up halfway. This is something that Zhao Xu has always believed in, both in love and friendship.
Tang Ning's performance so far is very satisfactory to Zhao Xu, combined with various feedbacks, as well as Tang Ning's performance, this person is loyal to himself, and he is conscientiously completing the tasks assigned to him.
As for Cheng Yang's last letter from time to time, which was full of rude abuse of Tang Ning, Zhao Xu just laughed at it. Cheng Yang is a very well-behaved person, and if he can be angry like this, Tang Ning is really capable.
"Official...... Here's the thing. Fuqing's illness has not improved for such a long time, and the concubine is in a hurry. One day, when I wrote a letter to my family, I mentioned this matter to see if anyone in the concubine's family knew where there was a famous doctor.
However, after the concubine's sister found out about this, she came into the palace to visit the concubine, and also brought ......" Meng said, taking out a charm from his sleeve with red eyes.
Zhao Xu was shocked, things like witches were strictly forbidden in the palace, even if the emperor touched it himself, he would be punished by the clan.
He snatched the talisman and was about to reprimand Meng, but he thought of Fuqing, who was sleeping soundly on the side. So he lowered his voice and said, "This thing is strictly forbidden in the palace, don't you know?" ”
Meng Shi cried and said, "The concubine knows ...... The concubine knows ...... It was the concubine who saw that Fuqing had been ill for a long time, and she was confused for a while.
The official family, the concubines will burn the charm......"
Seeing that Meng Shi was like this, Zhao Xu, even if he was like a stone, it was time to soften.
What's more, he's not hard-hearted yet.
With a long sigh, Zhao Xu pulled up Meng Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, and reached out to wipe the tears from her face, unable to speak for a long time.
If Fuqing's illness can be cured, what if it is punished by the clan? That's my own daughter!
So after a long time, Zhao Xu first praised Meng's approach, because she didn't hide it from herself. After that, Zhao Xu said: "This is human nature, you might as well give it a try." ”
Meng Shi looked at Zhao Xu with wide eyes, she couldn't believe her ears.
Zhao Xu smiled at her and nodded, and Meng Shi whispered: "The concubine heard that Liu Zhenren of the Shangqing Chuxiang Palace is very powerful......"
"Please." Zhao Xu knelt in front of the collapse and gently stroked his daughter's face. This little man, who is less than three years old, why should he suffer such a hardship?
If I could, I really hope that I, as a father, can bear this pain for her......
