Hearing that in the past few months, he had never spoken to him alone, and even in the most dangerous time, he had never moved himself away from the battlefield. Although he has always carried him with him, his uncle has never been able to avoid the important and take the easy. Suddenly he called out his own words. Huang Qiong, a nephew with the surname Huaiyuan and the given name Hengan, couldn't help but tremble all over.
In this era, the word of address is a form of respect. The names used by elders to younger ones show their closeness. I just remembered that this person of mine was actually just over a year older than me. Ever since I was transferred to him, he had never even given me a proper look. Gao Huaiyuan's first suspicion was that his uncle was interested in his head. Of course not because of his intelligence.
But to borrow his head, what do you want to do? I just thought about it for a long time, thinking about it, thinking about it, but I didn't think about how I had offended him. A few days ago, I did have a small discussion about him in my heart when it came to women. I think it was because he lacked maternal love since childhood that he particularly liked older women. But I never mentioned my inner thoughts to anyone else.
This ninth uncle shouldn't really have the ability to penetrate people's minds. Thinking of this, the way he looked at Huang Qiong not only became more fearful, but also pitiful and even begging for mercy. Gao Huaiyuan was an extremely intelligent person. As a member of the Haoying family, he also had a broad vision. Although he is young, he is still used to seeing the intrigues of those big shots.
Don't say anything else, even the inside of his house is a mess. The two concubines who were most favored by the father were constantly challenging the mother's authority, and there were also intrigues in the family. But facing him, this person who turned his hands to make clouds and rain, greeted him with a smile, and when he turned around, he could perform surgery on hundreds of people. In fact, some uncles are uncertain, and they are really afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
After Huang Qiong called him, Gao Huaiyuan seemed calm on the surface, but how could he hide his little thoughts from Huang Qiong? Regarding the look in Gao Huaiyuan's eyes, Huang Qiong was both amused and helpless. He has not spoken to Gao Huaiyuan since he left Jingzhao with three thousand Royal Guards until today. He is the official ambassador of Xuanfu and Fu, while Gao Huaiyuan is only a seventh-rank official.
As an ambassador of the establishment, every move he makes in the military camp attracts attention. The level difference between the two aspects is too far. If he frequently summons a seventh-grade captain, it will be too conspicuous. Not only does it make Gao Huaiyuan easy to be ostracized, but it is also easier for him to develop an arrogant and domineering character, which also makes his superiors uncomfortable. This counter-insurgency operation and even his future growth are not a good thing.
Although my nephew, who is generally cultivated by the sons of officials and nobles, has no arrogance and extravagance, he does not show it. But Huang Qiong also knew that this guy was just good at hiding. As the most beloved eldest princess of the Da Qi Dynasty, the only direct son, and the most beloved grandson of her old man. As a nephew, he also grew up in a fine clothing and food house.
Although because of the strict control of my eldest sister, and because I am arrogant and proud, I have not contracted any bad habits. But this proud attitude completely followed that of his biological father. Although he was protected by the Heavenly Family, no one dared to do anything to him. But as a military attache, once he is excluded or even isolated, it is the most fatal. Since he chose to join the army, being gregarious is the first condition.
What's more, he is still young, and letting him beat him will be more conducive to his growth. Therefore, although Huang Qiong treats this nephew on the surface, he is letting it go, but in fact he has been training him deliberately. When the remnants of the rebels were being cleared away, he was not allowed to stay in Lingzhou City to ensure safety. He was always arranged to go out to fight with a large group of troops, or even go out alone with scouts for reconnaissance.
When he has a little leisure time, he arranges for the generals to take turns to train him. Although before capturing Lingzhou, Gao Huaiyuan only participated in a battle around the state. But after that, although he did not participate in any major battles, he participated in countless small liquidation battles. Even when he was fighting, Huang Qiong pretended not to care on the surface, but was always worried about his safety in his heart.
If he really had a problem, Huang Qiong himself didn't know how to explain it to Sister Jincheng. However, Zheng Daoyuan fully supported his choice. Of course Zheng Daoyuan didn't know at this time that Gao Huaiyuan was his biological son. Even the name Huaiyuan was born out of lovesickness. During his stay in Beijing, he learned the true identity of his lover.
Although, because of his relationship with his mother, Gao Huaiyuan loved his lover's only son. But he strongly supported Huang Qiong to beat Gao Huaiyuan well. Although he was a little sad when he learned about Princess Jincheng's true identity and that she already had a consort. But as a pregnant man, he did not lose hope because his lover was already married and had a son.
Any act of angering Gao Huaiyuan was actually because he loved Wujiwu and showed extraordinary concern for Gao Huaiyuan. After Huang Qiong's intention was discovered by him, almost all the officials in Lingzhou at that time, including Zhang Qian, opposed Gao Huaiyuan's joining the army in the war. I was afraid that the son of the eldest princess, the young uncle of Uncle Yingchuan's family, would have an accident on the battlefield and would have difficulty in dealing with him when he returned.
Zheng Daoyuan, who believes that jade cannot be used without polishing, and since he has chosen to join the army, must be beaten hard before he can truly take shape, but he fully supports Huang Qiong. Although he doesn't know yet, this boy is his biological son. But Zheng Daoyuan didn't want his lover's only son to become a useless person who could only rely on his family background. Like all the dandies in the capital, he has fallen into bad habits.
Gao Huaiyuan didn't know that Zheng Daoyuan was his biological father, but Huang Qiong knew it clearly. With the support of her real brother-in-law, Huang Qiong gave her a good beating, her direct nephew. It was precisely because he could see that Gao Huaiyuan, who had experienced the war and survived the beatings, that he was much more mature than when he first went out with the army, that Huang Qiong had a real conversation with his nephew for the first time.
But he didn't expect that this kid would become so brave after experiencing the beating. Looking at this nephew, he trembled slightly when he heard himself calling him. Huang Qiong smiled and said: "Heng'an, please feel free to speak boldly. Today, I am just your uncle. I have heard from your mother that you were unable to take part in the imperial examination due to identity issues."
"I'm not willing to rely on luck to inherit the title passed down by my ancestors and continue to accept the protection of my family, so I turned to learn martial arts. You had to go to your grandfather to ask for your qualifications to join the army. Otherwise, you will be here now. It’s no problem to get a Jinshi in the exam. Today, let me, the uncle, take the test. Are you, the nephew, as knowledgeable as your mother said?”
"If you have anything to say, just say it, feel free to say it. Even if you say something wrong, it's no big deal. It's just an ordinary discussion, there's nothing to be taboo about. Don't treat me as an ambassador. Wang Jin'er is your biological uncle, and he has no other status. As the saying goes, your mother is your uncle, so whatever you do with your mother, it will be normal in front of this king."
Regarding Huang Qiong's words, Gao Huaiyuan looked helpless and smiled bitterly. He turned from literature to martial arts, and what Huang Qiong said is only part of the reason. The more reason is the foul atmosphere in the mansion. Ever since I could remember, my father, who was lingering on the sickbed, had always been cold and indifferent to my mother and me. As the consort of the Qi Dynasty, his father was the only concubine among the concubines in the dynasty.
As the eldest son of his father, his father never looked at him. When he was in good health, he never talked to himself, and even showed disgust. Now that he is seriously ill, he goes to greet him every day, but he doesn't even say a word to him. Even seeing himself made him feel angry for no reason. As the eldest princess of the Qi Dynasty, her mother's status in the Prince Consort's Mansion was not as good as that of the concubines.
For as long as I can remember, I have never seen my father enter my mother's house. I have never seen a smiling face towards my mother. The father has always been cold and even indifferent to his mother and son. On the contrary, when it comes to the younger brothers born from several aunts, my father has always been gentle and has taught him how to read and write step by step since he was a child. I only have my mother by my side.
When I was a child, I was envious when I saw my father treating his brothers so differently. I envy that as sons, my brothers can receive such love and care from their father. And when he faced his father, what awaited him was always cold, without even a trace of a smile. I once asked my mother why, but her mother just stroked her hair helplessly and smiled bitterly.
But he never told himself the reason why his father treated his mother and son like this. He still clearly remembers that after he was named the Prince of Yingchuan by his grandfather, every time his father saw him, even though he suppressed it very well. But I could still see disgust and even a hint of anger on his face. He believed that if his mother had not been a princess, his father would have even wanted to kill him.
Originally, the aunts relied on their father's favor and challenged their mother's authority as the main wife at every turn. Now that his father was seriously ill, he knew that the title would not go to their son, so he put all his energy into fighting for the family property. Not only did the whole house become troubled, but the whole family was also in trouble. But in the face of the increasingly excessive provocations from several aunts, my mother never said anything.
Among the several aunts, Aunt Zhao, who was the most favored by her father and the biological mother of her eldest brother, was the most excessive. He was always sarcastic about his mother, and said that if he didn't give them more of the family property. She will publicize everything and see if the Tian family can lose its face. He asked his mother more than once why, but he was always met with silence.
I just couldn't stand the turmoil in the house, and I couldn't stand my mother's insistence on compromise. He only went to the palace a few times to find his grandfather, who loved him the most, hoping to give him a chance to join the army. He knew that he could not be a civil servant. As the son of a princess, he was not qualified to participate in the imperial examination or the election of officials. If you want to leave that home, there is only one way to enter the military camp.
The old man couldn't stand it anymore, so he finally arranged for him to go to the Xiaoqi Camp and become an eighth-grade military attache. This time Huang Qiong was the first to say that all military attachés of the Royal Forest Army who were willing to join the army in Longyou would be promoted to one level, and they would also have made some merits. When he was discussing meritorious service and receiving rewards, he was promoted to seventh rank military officer. In fact, he didn't know that Huang Qiong wanted to overpower him at that time, but in the end it was He Yuanfeng who convinced him.
He Yuanfeng's original words: Those who lead the army must be rewarded for their merits and punished for their mistakes. This is the way of being a general. Just because he is the princess's son, we can't treat him differently. When all military attaches in the army were promoted to the first level, he was the only one left behind. This was unfair to Gao Huaiyuan. He did not take credit for taking credit, or following everyone else's lead, but achieved it with real swords and real guns, so he should still be given the promotion he deserves.
