After hearing what he said, Li Xiu, whose face was full of surprise and worry, said with a smile: "Sister Xiu, just wait to meet the child, other things I'm with you in everything. You just need to think about how you can thank me after this is done. As for now, you need to take a good rest."
After saying that, Huang Qiong gently kissed Li Xiu's face again and helped her untie her coat. He gently put her on the bed and opened the quilt to cover her. And he also took off his coat and got into bed, holding Li Xiu, who was extremely exhausted physically and mentally, into his arms to accompany her. Perhaps it was Huang Qiong's promise that made Li Xiu feel at ease. Maybe it was because I was a little tired after changing clothes for the flowers last night.
Li Xiu, who was hugged by Huang Qiong, fell into a deep sleep without much effort. Seeing Li Xiu sleeping soundly, Huang Qiong gently rolled over and got out of bed, put on her clothes and carefully left the room. Back in the study, Huang Qiong wrote a personal letter to Jia Quan and Liu Hu's wife, and handed them to a close guard.
Ask him to return to Beijing immediately to take over Liu Hu's family and Li Xiu's two children. In the letter, Huang Qiong told Jia Quan that he must send capable personnel to protect him. Although it is not far from Jingzhao to Zhengzhou, there must be no problems along the way. As for speed, of course the faster the better. After sending his men back to Beijing to pick him up immediately, Huang Qiong found Liu Hu again.
After Liu Hu entered the study, Huang Qiong went straight to the point and spoke out his thoughts without being too polite. Then, looking at Liu Hu who looked reluctant or even resistant after listening to his own ideas, Huang Qiong pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Liu, I also know your difficulty in this matter."
"I know better that if I force you to agree, you will reluctantly agree. But I don't want to force you, because I have always regarded you as my brother, not as a deployment. I hope that you can sincerely serve both of us. Think about it as a child and accept this suggestion from me. Because this suggestion will only benefit your Liu family and will not do any harm."
"I will tell you the truth today. In fact, I have some selfish motives for asking your nephew to be Yu Mingyuan's student. Yu Mingyuan's background as a Jinshi in the second rank is enough to show that his talent and learning are quite good. "Now I am a military attache. I don't need to explain my performance in the border army. You are also aware of it. Judging from this person's experience, he can definitely be regarded as a rare all-around civil and military talent in our Da Qi Dynasty. "
"This kind of person cannot be said to be unique, but there are definitely very few. If your nephew can really be accepted by him as his student, I don't need to say more about the result. It is said that famous teachers produce great disciples, but there are many great disciples in the world. The thing is, there may not really be a few famous teachers. As long as your nephew can really learn half of Yu Mingyuan's skills, it will be enough to honor our ancestors."
"Brother Liu, please don't think that what I said is an exaggeration. We won't talk about the civil officials of this dynasty today. You also know that most of the military commanders are descendants of aristocratic families. And it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the country. As the trend of luxury becomes more and more intense, the children of those aristocratic families may have long forgotten the brave blood that once flowed through their ancestors."
"Most of them, like Guo Tongzhi from Hulao Pass, have become useless. Either they have nothing left in their eyes except money. Or they are greedy for pleasure and are incapable of writing or martial arts. But as the old saying goes, : Those who are eager to fight will inevitably perish, and those who forget to fight will be in danger. There are wolves in the north of our Qi Dynasty, and tigers and leopards in the west. The world today is far from peace."
"What do military generals do? They protect the country and the people, and open up new territories. The selection of military generals is more terrifying than the selection of civilian officials. If the civil servants are insufficient, they can be supplemented by recruiting scholars. But as for military generals, their abilities are more demanding. How many bloody battles will it take to train them? The Qi Dynasty, which has a prosperous literary style, is not short of scholars now, but it is short of qualified generals who can stabilize the country. "
"I, the king, cannot only look at the present and not the future. You have also seen the current situation in the army, and there is an urgent need for new recruits. Put your nephew next to Yu Mingyuan and let him live for a few years. With his character, and ability, he will definitely teach an outstanding talent. As a student, instead of being placed beside him as a stepson, there is no such thing as changing his surname. "
"The child is still a child of your Liu family. The flesh and bones in his body will never change in his life. With Yu Mingyuan's character and the care of his mother, the child will not suffer much. You have to believe in me. , believe in your own children, and even more so in the mother of your children. Sometimes, temporary separation is for better development in the future."
At this point, Huang Qiong raised his head and looked at Liu Hu, who was still a little reluctant after hearing his words. He sighed slightly and said: "And your son, I also hope to go with him. One has two children. Having one person to take care of you, and the other thing is to cultivate one more talent, which will be good for the court and your Liu family."
"Mr. Jia is too gloomy, and his things are not suitable for two children to learn. It is okay to be an enlightening teacher, but as time goes by, children can easily be led astray by him. Mr. Fan, he comes from a business family. Unless you want to You want your nephew to become a big businessman, otherwise it will not be suitable for your child's future development."
"Leaving the child to Yu Mingyuan is the best choice for the child. The fact that Yu Mingyuan rose from adversity and did such an outstanding job in both literature and martial arts is enough to show that he is an extraordinary person. With such a With a teacher, a child's starting point will be quite high. Remember, only a famous teacher can produce a good apprentice."
In fact, Huang Qiong couldn't explain many things in detail or clearly in front of Liu Hu. As the saying goes, what kind of master makes what kind of disciple. Jia Quan was a dark man, and due to his family background, his actions were a little extreme, and he was more or less petty. Once a child follows him for a long time, it is easy for him to have mental problems.
As for Fan Jian, he was born in a family of merchants. Although he did not have much of the philistine spirit of a merchant, he still had some of the habits of a merchant in the way he acted. Whether following Jia Quan or Fan Jian, it is not the future for the two children. From them, I am afraid that what I learned is more intrigues and tricks.
As for these two children, speaking from Li Xiu alone, Huang Qiong hopes that they will behave righteously and be more aboveboard in the future. Yu Mingyuan experienced so many setbacks in his early years, but instead of sinking, he found a unique path. After the setbacks in his early years and years of bloody battles, the bookishness in Yu Mingyuan has long since faded away.
If you study with such a teacher, your child will have a better future. Moreover, Yu Mingyuan was a second-rank Jinshi, and now he is a second-grade military attache. He has quite a lot of connections in both civil and military circles. As his student, your starting point is half a level higher than others. It's just that Huang Qiong didn't want to comment too much on Jia Quan and Fan Jian in front of Liu Hu, so he could only stop at some words.
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Liu Hu didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, Hu also understands what you are talking about. Hu also knows about Master Yu's ability. Hu is actually not worried when the child is handed over to him. But although he is accepted as a student, he is still casual in the eyes of outsiders. My mother remarried. If it were in the past, Tiger would naturally not say anything."
"But if Hu still does this now, he will still have the nerve to come back to see the villagers, and he will be stabbed in the spine. I am afraid that some people will think that Hu is now prosperous, and are worried that their nephews will divide the family property and cannot accommodate these two Children, that’s why we let them remarry with their mother. Although Hu is not someone who cares too much about rumors, these things are easy to talk about but not easy to hear."
"Also, these two children were raised by Zhuo Jing single-handedly. Over the years, Zhuo Jing has always regarded them as her own children without any intention of discrimination. In the most difficult time in the past few years, even if she didn't eat , there will be a bite left for the child. If I really let my sister-in-law take it away, I'm afraid I have to discuss the matter with Zhuo Jing."
Seeing that Liu Hu had been persuaded by him, Huang Qiong nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, your family is small, and I have sent someone to pick it up. In addition to letting the two children meet and reunite with Li Xiujian, Besides, I have other things on my mind. I’m afraid that in the next step, even if I return to Beijing, you will have to stay in Zhengzhou for a while.”
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Liu Hu who was a little surprised after hearing what he said, but he sighed and said: "Do you know why I, the king, want to hide from you at this time this time?" Are you coming from my hometown? Do you know who are those people who have secretly spread rumors in Zhengzhou since my king settled in Zhengzhou and have not been eliminated until now?"
"I will tell you that it is the Defei tribe who is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace today. Defei's ancestors are from Zhengzhou, and there are still a large number of tribesmen in Zhengzhou. Her uncle and third uncle's family are still living in Zhengzhou. And the third uncle of Concubine De is the second largest landowner in Zhengzhou after Prince Jing’s Mansion. Although there are not many shops in Zhengzhou, their shop in Bianzhou Mansion is known as half the city.”
"With such a huge power, it would be too easy for the bachelor's palace in Zhengzhou to cause some trouble for me. I should have thought long ago that she would not let my disposer get too complacent. In fact, this point, I should have expected this a long time ago. It’s just that my original energy was put on other things and ignored the darkness under the lamp. "
"Some people think that they have a backer behind them and can do anything. They don't dare to do it openly, but privately they are more ruthless than anyone else. I am in Zhengzhou, so they may still have some scruples. But now the big things in Zhengzhou are over. , I’m afraid it won’t be long before the imperial decree to recall me. After I leave, those people may not be able to do some things.”
"Once a person's eyes pierce into the eyes of money, his heart will turn dark. Su Jin and Jian Yong are two scholars. If those people are not afraid when they come to see it, they will naturally not be afraid with my support. If they are afraid, they secretly Black hand. But therefore, I want to keep you in Zhengzhou to protect them for one year. I brought your family here because I want your family to be reunited."
Faced with Huang Qiong's heartbreaking words, Liu Hu pondered for a moment and then said: "My lord, what will happen to your safety if Tiger is not by your side? Hu knows that your skills are better than Tiger's, but you can't do everything yourself." Take action. What's more, compared to Zhengzhou, Hu is more worried about someone in Jingzhao who will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Liu Hu's worry, Huang Qiong waved his hand gently and said: "You don't have to worry about this king. Duan Jin and He Yao are both very skilled, and there is no problem in protecting the safety of the palace. As for this king, I will wait until I return. After Beijing, I just need a few guards with my father. The key issue now is to restore Zhengzhou's vitality as soon as possible so that the people here have enough food and clothing."
"The key to the next step is to look at Su Jin and Jian Yong. Zhengzhou can no longer bear even a small toss. So at this juncture, they must not let anything happen to them. I am with you. A master, you are the only one who is suitable to do this, so you can only stay first."
