While Xie Ruqing comforted Gu Ruosu, there was still a little secret joy in his heart because he was very pleased that his precious wife, no matter where and when, still had such trust in her bones that he could support her in the world. But the next moment, he couldn't be happy anymore. He regretted that he couldn't come to her sooner and make her cry. His Gu Gu should always be a carefree girl, even as he grows older. , what his Gu Gu can recognize should be the sunniest side in the world. Gu Gu should be like a sunflower and always grow toward the sun, and he is willing to be a branch and leaf behind the sunflower that cannot see the sun for the rest of his life.
"Master Deng, you and I are the current heads of the Xie family and the Deng family respectively, and we are also the two families most affected by this incident. I think, if not, you and I will be responsible for what happened today. It’s over, I don’t know what other ladies think.”
"I would like to ask Mr. Guo to make a decision on behalf of our family." Other family members of the victims said.
"What the Duke said makes sense. This matter is all Quanzi's fault. In that case, you might as well ask the Duke to express your opinion first."
"I never like to say a few words while caring about other things, and my words are very simple. This is all because Mr. Deng, you are not good at teaching your son, and you dote on your son too much, so you can raise such a "dog son". In this case, Mr. Deng We cannot be ruthless in raising our sons, and we don’t want to discipline our sons for Mr. Deng and become evil people. In my opinion, we should go directly to Kaifeng Prefecture Yamen to report to the official and ask Mr. Fu Yin to make a decision. He should be jailed. Those who deserve to be jailed will be slapped with a slap in the face; if they are exiled, then go to exile."
Mrs. Deng's legs were so frightened that she was weak. Fortunately, General Deng helped her and prevented her from falling to the ground: "The Duke is so majestic. You are throwing away the dignity of all our families." Why don’t you ignore it! There is also the empress! The empress is the most shameful!"
"Shut up. Your Majesty is struggling in the palace. Don't cause any more trouble to your Majesty and the Prince." Although General Deng was a military general, he was not a reckless person. He knew the stakes and hurriedly stopped his wife.
"Face? This matter is not our family's fault, so how can we talk about losing face? At most, there are those who gossip, saying that our family of husbands are better than gentlemen at shooting, or that they are not good at martial arts. None of us can beat a son of mine, but that doesn't matter. Our family is not born as a general, and we don't expect our children to serve the motherland with swords and horses on the battlefield. However, your Deng family has been martial arts for generations, and now you don't need to teach your children to practice martial arts. To deal with the barbarians, but to bully the weak. If this matter is publicized, the only people in Kyoto who will find it difficult to behave are your Deng family." Xie Ruqing ignored Mrs. Deng's collapsed expression and continued to speak coldly, with a serious look on her face. It doesn't look fake at all.
"What my father said is that this matter is not the fault of our family. Why should our Xie family have their teeth knocked out and swallowed with blood? What you said just now, Mr. Deng, is absolutely right. The good concubine in the palace values face the most. , Mr. Deng was sent to Kaifeng Mansion by us, and later, Concubine Xian, you will know later. Concubine Xian is also your biological daughter. She walked on thin ice in the palace, guarding His Majesty's love and the growth of the fifth prince. She never He is a step beyond the realm of thunder, but his brother has caused such a disaster. Whether the empress can protect the young master is not mentioned for the time being. As long as the empress is in the palace... I wonder if Mr. Deng and Mrs. Deng have thought about the situation of the empress?" Xie Hao asked. He continued following Xie Ruqing's words.
When Mr. Deng and his wife heard this, their faces turned livid and they couldn't speak for a long time. They both thought it was wrong. This matter was Deng Yi's fault. If they had to let Concubine Deng Xian in the palace take the lead, they would definitely end up with someone who favored their relatives. reputation, and the fifth prince is reaching the age where he needs to choose a teacher. Apart from the status of Xie Ruqing and Xie Haowen, who are His Majesty’s current celebrities, the Xie family consists of three fathers and sons, and all three of them are once-in-a-century talents. Zhong Jieyuan's feat is admired by scholars all over the world. Although the two elders of the Xie family are not in the officialdom, as contemporary great scholars, their status and influence cannot be underestimated. If you want to find a good master for the fifth prince, you will have to work with him. If the second oldest person in the Xie family offends the Xie family, then the future of the fifth prince...
Although Deng Yi is stupid, he is a bastard who sincerely cares for his sister. When it comes to his sister, his reaction speed is barely enough to be described as "human". After understanding the key, Deng Yi immediately stamped his feet and shouted : "Everyone is responsible for what he does! Since you want me to apologize to you, I will do it! I did this thing alone! Everything my sister and nephew did to me in the palace was You don’t know anything! Don’t involve my sister!”
"Exiled! Go to jail, right? Come on! I admit it!" After saying this, Deng Boyi became more and more excited, like a rogue, very excited.
"Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" Mr. Deng was so angry when he heard his son's words that he slapped him hard!
"Father! Why do you beat me? They can do whatever they want! I am a man! I am still afraid of their power! Anyway, I can't hurt my sister!"
"You treacherous son, shut up. Of course your mother and I are there to take care of your sister. Why are you causing trouble! It's not your turn to worry about it!" Although Mr. Deng is a bit patriarchal in his bones, he still loves himself very much. Even though his daughter is not as painful in his heart as his son, he has held her in his hands and grown up. In any case, he would never be able to trade his daughter for his son, but he I also understand that what happened today, even if I am immortal, will have to shed my skin, and it will never be settled simply.
Mr. Deng had already made some plans in his mind at this moment, so he signaled his wife and son to calm down. He slowly walked to Xie Ruqing's side, bowed his hands respectfully and said, "My lord, this matter is all over." Everything wrong is Quanzi's fault. I didn't teach my son well, so he became what he is now. But Quanzi is young, and he is the only son of me and my wife. He will still take over my mantle in the future. If my son is born, In prison, the military flag of my Liang family will change hands, and the Western Barbarians will lose an opponent. I have served my country loyally throughout my life as a soldier. Today, I hope that the Duke of the country can give me a more lenient opinion."
Xie Ruqing did not mean to let Mr. Deng’s white-haired man give away his black-haired man. Moreover, although Mr. Deng did not teach his children well, he was actually a loyal minister. As far as the country was concerned, he could not go too far and hurt the hearts of loyal ministers by pretending to be a little bit. After Jia thought for a moment, he also bowed back to General Deng and said: "General Deng has worked hard for the country all his life. How could I not know that I also have a way to have both ends? It can not only have a thoughtful disposal, but also protect the country." The Deng family’s face.”
"Appreciate further details."
"As my wife said, debts must be repaid, and murders must be repaid with lives. Since Mr. Deng beats someone, then Mr. Deng will pay back the debt himself.
In addition, if Mr. Deng has no objection, then the Deng family will invest tens of thousands of dollars and share it equally as the private property of our sons as a token of comfort. I don’t know what Mr. Deng thinks.
My wife is magnanimous and always considers others. The method my wife proposed earlier is already the best. Mr. Deng should consider it carefully. " Xie Ruqing said this with an expression like "My wife is so kind."
General Deng and his wife twitched their lips in tacit understanding, but after thinking about the pros and cons, they also understood that this method was indeed the only solution. But his son was in pain, and General Deng was ready to open his mouth again and pull and pull again and again, but then Deng Boyi seemed to go out without any brains at this moment, and said straightforwardly: "Okay! Just hit the board with the board! Isn't it just the board? Fight now, and finish it all for me in one breath!"
[How could I give birth to such a fool! ]
"Okay, since Mr. Deng himself has agreed, let's just settle the matter like this. Everyone, don't have any objections."
Mrs. Wu and others looked satisfied: "Of course I have no objections."
With that said, Xie Ruqing signaled two private soldiers of the Xie Mansion to enter the hall, and "invited" Deng Yiyi, who was still fearless at this moment, out.
The next second, Deng Boyi's screams came from outside the hall. The screams were so miserable that they really made the listeners cry and the listeners sad.
When Mr. Deng's wife heard her baby's cry, she immediately turned her head away unbearably and tried hard not to look out of the hall.
"Ah!" Another "shoal" cry came. Master Deng's wife really couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to run out of the house to save her baby, but Master Deng stopped his wife.
Everyone carefully observed Mr. Deng's expression and saw that Mr. Deng's eyes were full of distress, but there was no trace of resentment towards everyone, which was surprising.
If Mr. Deng’s expression is not fake, everyone really admires him. There is nothing better than this so-called pure minister. In the future, he can continue to have a close relationship with the Marquis of Flattery. However, if he is determined to demonstrate "complete indifference", then everyone in the family will be amazed by Deng. The Deng family must re-evaluate its "weight" based on the "forbearance skills" they have acquired. They must be more careful in dealing with each other in the future and dare not offend each other. A gentleman is magnanimous and a villain is always worried.
"When I returned to my country, I was beaten 60 times. Master Deng has fainted." After an unknown amount of time, the guard came in and reported.
"My son!" After hearing this, Mr. Deng finally stopped stopping his wife and let her cry out to find his son.
"Young Master Deng is worthy of being a general. Ordinary people will faint after being hit by thirty blows, but Master Deng can take sixty blows all his life. I think Master Deng has a good education in this regard." Xie Haowen said.
"Since Mr. Deng has fainted, let's postpone the remaining battles. From now on, we will fight a sixty-strong battle every five or ten days. We don't dare to use Master Deng's soldiers to do such small things. I will decide this matter." I will let my personal guards take full responsibility until the end." Xie Ruqing said in a very "understanding" manner.
Mr. Deng: [You two are a big fox and a little fox. If you open your mouth to compliment me, you might as well shut your mouths. It sounds really annoying. ]
"Just do whatever the Duke of the country says. Today I am here to apologize to you all for Quanzi. I will take my leave. I will send the money to you when I get back." Mr. Deng had to say it with bitter words, holding back his last breath. After hearing these words, he hurriedly carried a stretcher, accompanied by Mrs. Zhou, and brought his son and daughter-in-law back to Marquis Fengcheng's Mansion.
Deng Youyi, one of the protagonists, left the scene sadly, and the other "slightly injured" victims also slowly left the scene. Xie Ruqing, a family member of a "severely injured" victim, found a carriage and paved the way inside. After putting on thick mattresses and pillows, and sealing the outer walls tightly with butter leather, people carefully lifted Xie Hao'an into the car. The imperial doctor followed the car, while he and Gu Ruosu watched Xie Hao'an in the car.
After the diagnosis by the imperial doctor, Xie Haoan could not get out of bed for half a year. Fortunately, the bone nerves were not severed, so it would not affect his future walking. However, he has already fallen asleep after applying medicine. It will probably take a while. To wake up.
"Thank you, you are a good father." Gu Ruosu took Xie Hao'an's hand and said to Xie Ruqing who was sitting next to her.
"You are wrong. I am An'er's father and your husband. I do everything I should do. This is the standard of a good father, not the benchmark.
"Besides, I still want to say to you what happened today: I'm sorry."
"It would be nice if I could arrive earlier."
"It's not your fault...you didn't want to either."
"You don't understand... General Deng and I's performance today was actually ordered by His Majesty..."
"When the young man at home came to report to me, he happened to meet the men sent by Mrs. Deng to look for General Deng. When General Deng and I heard that you two were at Mrs. Zhou's house, we thought there was some good news. It was good to get closer to our families through this, but what we waited for was the news that the two families were fighting each other. At that time, the Grand Duke next to His Majesty followed me and General Deng, originally saying that he was following His Majesty's orders. The two of us were sent to the palace gate in person, but we didn’t expect that so many things would happen, and this matter became unbearable.…”
"Does Your Majesty know everything?"
"Under normal circumstances, Your Majesty would not know about it. Even if he knew, he would generally not interfere in the family affairs of our ministers. But this matter may be a little special, because the current situation is turbulent recently, and the Southern Barbarians have encountered a severe drought once in ten years. In order to survive, they burned, killed and looted on our border. Our army may have suffered from the Nanman sneak attacks at the beginning, but after many attacks, our army was prepared. Both sides fought and fought, and both sides suffered many injuries, so , the Nanman had no choice but to hand over documents and want to come to us to ask for food.
The Nanmanzi have been relying on their bravery and fighting skills for many years, and have often suffered losses for us. They are quite arrogant. This time they come to court, it will definitely be a "tough battle", but if they sincerely ask for food, for the sake of the people of the two countries, Your Majesty will definitely not He will not save me even if he is about to die, but if it happens... His Majesty will naturally have to prepare a complete plan. "
"What perfect plan has your Majesty thought of?"
"The envoy of the Southern Barbarians is Chu Ci, a genius who has not been surpassed by their Southern Barbarians for hundreds of years. He is also their national advisor. A few years ago, I and the Southern Barbarians' imperial advisor learned from Zeng Daru, who has retired. I can be regarded as a master. Fellow."
"Senior brothers, we must have a very good relationship. Why are you still allowed to go? Isn't it just hurting your friendship!"
"My lady, you don't know. Our master, Zeng Daru, is known as an unparalleled talent. He wrote down what he learned in his life into two peerless books, one is "Chen" and the other is "Ye". It records everything in the world and the way to survive in troubled times. It is an exaggeration to say that if someone can understand even seven points of any of its volumes, he can become a hero in the world.
Our master, Zeng Daru, only had two apprentices in his life. Each time he had two apprentices. He would teach each of the two apprentices a volume of "Chen" or "Ye", and then let them debate after they had achieved success. , to see who learns better. "When Xie Ruqing said this, Gu Ruosu couldn't help but interrupt: "This Zeng Daru is so selfish. Asking two apprentices to help him verify his academic level, isn't it just forcing the two apprentices to become competitors? "
"Madam is right. Zeng Daru does have this idea. Therefore, Bei Yetian of Western Chu and Dugu of Eastern Zhao have their wish. I thank Ruqing and Chu Ci of Nanman. Whether they are old enemies or close friends, in short, the relationship between the two of us is The fight will never end, so when he goes on an envoy this time, I should be the one to welcome the envoy, both in public and private matters."
"Oh, I understand, but what does this have to do with Mr. Deng?"
"The deputy envoy of the Nanman envoy this time is one of the important figures in the Nanman army. General Monan Jiji, this person is vicious and vicious. He leaves the good army alone and insists on coming as an envoy. He must not have any good intentions.
Lord Deng has been on the battlefield for many years and is unparalleled in bravery. He has always been a serious concern for the Southern Barbarian army. General Monan Ji Ji is also quite afraid of him. Therefore, His Majesty has appointed Lord Deng as the deputy envoy to welcome the delegation. Lord Deng and I have been ordered to We must cooperate with each other to properly deal with the Nanman mission. "
"So, if the relationship between the two of us is hurt at this moment, even if we can distinguish between public and private affairs, we can't guarantee that the people under us will do the same. Who knows, it will give the Nanman mission an opportunity to take advantage of this situation. This is what His Majesty least wants to see."
"But today we still beat Deng Game."
"The people who are making the move today are nominally my private army, but in fact they are His Majesty's personal guards. Their attacks should not be heavy [of course, assuming I don't use any money] and His Majesty will issue a decree in the near future. , allowing Deng Boyi to enter Master Deng's army to gain experience, can also be regarded as allowing Deng Boyi to prepare in advance for inheriting his father's business. As we all know, the sooner he takes over the army, the better, and Deng Boyi's treatment is the only one in Kyoto. , The people under our command are not fools, and they can clearly see this situation. When we go back to do business, we will naturally do our best and there will be no resentment."
"What you say seems reasonable, but why do I feel that you are hiding something from me?"
"There is something to hide, but I don't know all the circumstances. His Majesty once took the two of us into the study alone and made an appointment for two cups of tea. During that period, what did His Majesty say to Mr. Deng? I don't know. I don’t know, I just know that His Majesty gave us this solution after we came out of His Majesty’s study.”
"Then what did His Majesty say to you?" Gu Ruosu asked thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything to me. He only told me to take it easy and that he would compensate our Xie family well in the future."
"Oh, forget it if you don't want to say it. I don't really want to hear it either." Gu Ruosu could tell at a glance that Xie Ruqing was avoiding the important and taking the easy. He seemed to be doing Tai Chi with her.
"Good boy, don't annoy me. In fact, these things are not simple. They are too distressing. I can't bear to involve you. I will handle these things. You just need to continue your life without any worries." Okay, later, when I have taken care of these things, when I have time, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Xie Ruqing looked serious, and it didn't look like he was faking it.
"Hmm... ok..." Gu Ruosu looked at the pie that Xie Ruqing drew for herself. She didn't know how to react for a moment, but maybe it was the "generous help" today or the "careful care" over the past few days. Gu Ruosu still agreed to Xie Ruqing, as if that day would really come...
