Outside the west gate of Chang'an City, ten miles to look at the Jun Pavilion.

At noon, in the Wangjun Pavilion, the great Confucian Cai Yong and Yang Wei Zhonglang sat opposite Li Dao, and on the stone table were the soldiers who had just made haode hot tea.

Outside the pavilion, Li Meng and Wang Fanger led hundreds of Li Dao's personal soldiers to stand around, looking forward to the pedestrians coming and going on the post road in the west.

Early in the morning, Li Li and his entourage will arrive in Chang'an this afternoon.

Cai Yong drank the tea, paced in the pavilion with his hands, and then stopped in front of a stone pillar engraved with words, and looked intently at the content recorded on the stone pillar.

Wangjun Pavilion has a bleak and touching story.

During the period of Emperor Jing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a newlywed woman Zhang who sent her husband to Liangzhou to join the army, and followed the army out of the city for ten miles. Every winter after that, Zhang would wait here for her husband's return, and built a straw hut herself, where she would stay all winter. A straw hut built repeatedly, a faint green lantern, Zhang waited here for thirty-three winters, but never waited for her husband to return, and finally closed her eyes on a snowy night, and the green lantern burned out.

Until the afternoon before Zhang's death, an old farmer who had gone on an expedition with her husband couldn't help but tell her that her man died on the battlefield in the third month of his army in Liangzhou, trampled by a war horse, and his bones were gone. Therefore, her husband's name was not among the fallen soldiers, but the old peasant saw her man die in battle. It's a pity that the generals claimed to see people alive and corpses when they died, and the woman's man was already a puddle of flesh and mud and could not be recognized, so he did not make a register and report it to Jing Zhaoyin.

After guarding the grass hut for more than 30 years, the young woman turned into an old woman, and finally froze to death in the middle of the night in the harsh winter.

The surrounding folks who witnessed all this. I always thought that Zhang was a homeless person who fled here, but after learning the truth of the matter, he admired Zhang's lonely life very much, and regarded him as a model of a chaste woman. Hundreds of villagers jointly funded to build a pavilion for people to rest next to the grass shed, named "Wangjun Pavilion", and left Zhang's life deeds on the stone pillar in the pavilion.

This is the true life of a common woman waiting for her husband to return from the war.

The deeds are very plain, very ordinary, there are no twists and turns and touching joys and sorrows, just the hard waiting of an infatuated woman. The Han world doesn't know how many such broken families there are. But. It is rare to see a woman who can be loyal and unswerving for more than 30 years like Zhang.

The deeds of the little husband and wife of the common people are more elegant than the folding willows and sending friends of the literati, and they are not as elegant as the heirloom stories of the eighteen-mile long pavilion of the dignitaries and nobles. But it is also sincere and touching, and it can resonate with ordinary people in all walks of life. Take care of it.

Therefore, Wangjun Pavilion has survived for more than 100 years and is still as clean as new. Villagers often come to clean up. There are many people who come to pay respects during the four solar terms, and they are renovated every few years.

"Alas!" After Cai Yong finished reading the deeds recorded on the stone pillar, he sighed softly, and seemed to be deeply touched.

For Cai Yong, he knew about Wangjunting's deeds thirty years ago. And he also came here with his good wife to pay tribute to Zhang's life and deeds.

Time is like water, and the world is impermanent.

In the blink of an eye, Cai Yong is already at the age of ear shun. The sideburns have turned white, the body is not as good as before, and the day is counted as a day, and the old man is drooping. And the virtuous wife has long since died, and she is forever separated from him.

Therefore, after reading Zhang's Wangjun's deeds again, Cai Yong sighed a lot and sighed: The world is sad and miserable, and the world is not peaceful.

"Why did Cai Zhonglang sigh? Wenchang has sent someone to summon the news, and they will arrive in the afternoon, and they should arrive in another half an hour. ”

In the pavilion, Li Dao drank tea calmly, looking to the west from time to time. Hearing Cai Yong's soft sigh, he said in puzzlement.

"Oh, childishly misunderstood. The old man didn't complain that Wenchang hadn't returned for a long time, but when he saw the life of the Zhang family on the stone pillar, he was just touched. Cai Yong turned around and sat back opposite Li Dao, and said with a calm expression.

When Li Wei heard this, he said with a smile: "I see. Just now I thought that Cai Zhonglang was dissatisfied with Wenchang, but it turns out that you always indulge him more than me. Hehehe! ”

Cai Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Wenchang will become a big weapon sooner or later, this is the first time the old man saw him, he had this thought." Now he really lives up to expectations, he worships the marquis at a young age, sits on the land of four counties, holds a male army, and his future future is limitless!

Childish and virtuous brother, now we are a family, the old man relies on the old and sells the old, don't you mind. The old man knows that you and Wenchang seem to have a discord, and you only have a gap because of some family matters, but you shouldn't be! You and Wenchang are uncles and nephews who are related by blood, and you personally raised their two brothers to grow up, called uncles and nephews, but in fact, they are like father and son. Wenchang is young and vigorous, maybe the words are inappropriate, as an uncle, you are an elder, how can you deal with him. Therefore, the old man hopes that the virtuous brother will reconcile with Wenchang regardless of his past suspicions. If you help him with all your might, then Wenchang will be able to go further and more smoothly, and he will definitely be able to glorify the lintel of the Li family in the future and establish immortal feats! ”

Listening to Cai Yong's words, a trace of helplessness appeared on Li Yong's face, and his eyes were a little erratic, and he was not willing to give up.

To this day, Li Wei has to admit that his nephew Li Li is indeed far-sighted, long-term, and calculated.

As early as when he was in Zhongmu County, Li Li discussed with him about the separation of the family. At that time, he wanted to leave a family property for his only son, Li Shi, and after some hesitation, he nodded and acquiesced to Li Li's proposal.

After returning to Chang'an City, due to his acquiescence to Li Wei, his wife Yang has always been domineering, and she never thought of distributing the Li family's wealth to Li Li and Li Xian brothers, but directly swept their brothers out of the house.

Originally, the uncle and nephew discussed the matter of haode, but they were made into such an embarrassing situation by the Yang family, which made Li Dao lose face, and I don't know how many people ridiculed him behind his back. The Li Li brothers were also very embarrassed, they were kicked out of the house late at night, and stayed in the barracks overnight with the bunk and their mother's relics, and then became self-reliant and set up another door.

Afterwards, Li Wei scolded Yang, and even slapped her twice, causing the corners of Yang's mouth to bleed and tremble. If it weren't for the fact that Li Shi was still young, Li Wei almost divorced her in a fit of anger.

That time was the first time that the Yang family had been beaten in the more than ten years since she married into the Li family, and those two slaps also told her how heavy the two brothers Li Li and Li Xian were in Li Wei's mind. It's just that outsiders don't know about this matter, including Li Li and Li Xian.

However, although the uncle and nephew discussed the haode matter, there were a lot of mistakes in the implementation process, and it was almost a fake show, which made Li Dao and Li Li's uncle and nephew disgraced. But the result was still in Lily's expectations.

With Cai Yong's great help, Li Li was released to serve as he wished, and he was also a county too high-ranking officer. With this, Li Dao had to look at his nephew with admiration, and he could actually say that Cai Yong helped him seek the position of Taishou.

Subsequently, although Li Wei was worried about Li Li's appointment as Wuwei Taishou, he was also unable to help him, so he could only silently pay attention to Li Li's whereabouts. In his heart, as long as Li Li and Li Xian brothers are not in danger of their lives, it doesn't matter if Wuwei Taishou's functions cannot be successfully assumed.

However, Li Li's appointment as Wuwei Taishou did make Li Wei's heart tremble, and he was worried and scared for two months. It wasn't until Li Li defeated the Han Sui coalition army and won the victory in Heilongling that Li Wei gradually calmed down.

After that, Li Li fought in Wuwei County, and the war continued. This move made Li Wei pinch a cold sweat for his nephew, and even complained that Li Li was belligerent and accepted it if he didn't see it.

However, until the end of last year, when Li Wei learned that Li Li had occupied the four counties of Wuwei County, Zhangye County and the two vassal states in only half a year, he almost didn't believe that this was the real thing, and it was like a dream.

Now Li Wei has roughly figured out the strength of his nephew Li Li, the Wuwei army has 70,000 soldiers, including 40,000 cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and 100 generals. After more than half a year of rapid development, the Wuwei Army under Li Li is almost as strong as his strength under Li Li's years of operation, and even faintly better than him.

Every time he thought that his nephew Li Li's strength actually surpassed that of his uncle, Li Dao couldn't help but wonder if the information obtained by Xizuo and the scouts was accurate, and whether he was deliberately exaggerating Li Li's strength in order to make him happy.

In the intelligence, Li Li's army defeated the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng twice in a row, exterminated Cheng Yin and Yang Qiu and other eight generals, and also sent troops to annex the Xiutu tribe and recover the three counties of Zhangye.

Thinking of these enviable and proud achievements, Li Dao, as a veteran on the battlefield, naturally knows that on the battlefield, every victory needs to be guaranteed by strong enough strength, and there is no reason to win by chance.

Therefore, deep down, Li Dao has already admitted that his nephew Li Li is now stronger than his uncle, and even more than superior, but much stronger.

??????????????????

Today, Cai Yong brought up the old matter again, and once again put the Li family's family affairs on the table.

To be honest, Li Dao was very reluctant to hear anyone mention the discord between his uncle and nephew again. Cai Yong is not an outsider now, but Li Li's father-in-law, and he is fully qualified to ask about everything related to Li Li's vital interests.

Thinking of this, Li Dao was deeply helpless about his nephew Li Li's bold and reckless character. Cai Yong's daughter Cai Yan is obviously a widow, but Li Li actually wants to marry Cai Yan as his wife, she really dares to do anything, she does whatever she wants, and she is unrestrained!

In the midst of the flurry of thoughts, Li Yong pondered for a long time, and Cai Yong didn't seem to be in a hurry, sipping tea slowly and methodically, looking at the scene of the surrounding villages.

After a while, Li Dao smiled apologetically at Cai Yong and said, "Brother Feibai has been waiting for a long time, Li Mou was distracted for a moment just now, please forgive me." ”

"It's okay. Anyway, we are waiting for Wenchang and his party here, not in a hurry, there is plenty of time. Cai Yong said with a smile.

"Hehehe!"

Li Wei didn't expect Cai Yong to have a funny side, and said: "Brother Feibai is open-minded, and the younger brother has been taught." Wenchang is my nephew Li Dao, as long as I can help, I will definitely help him. At this point, please rest assured Brother Feibai! ”

After Cai Yong heard this, a trace of worry instantly crossed his eyes, and he said secretly: "Li Yong still has reservations!" Alas, Wenchang is not his biological son after all, although the two are uncles and nephews, they are still close to each other! I hope that their uncle and nephew will not meet each other one day??????。 (To be continued) (To be continued......
