There is nothing more heartbreaking than parting, and nothing is more heartbreaking than saying goodbye.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the third day of the Lunar New Year. It’s still dark, the wind is wild, the snow is thick, and it’s the day of farewell.
Outside the Han Mansion, Han You knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Han Bairen, who had red eyes on the steps.
Behind Lao Han, standing on both sides were Zhongsun Wushuang and Wu Mingyue.
What Han You should have said has already been said.
Han Bairen could never finish what he should say.
"Youer..."
Han Bairen raised his arms feebly: "Go, go, remember...remember to eat."
"Dad, please take care. The child will come back after finishing his errands."
Standing up, Han You nodded to the two ladies and then got into the carriage.
Jiang Zhui raised his whip and the carriage gradually moved away.
The fire hanging next to the carriage swayed, danced with the wind, and finally disappeared under the archway.
Almost everyone in Beijing knew that Han You was leaving after the New Year, but everyone thought it would be after the first lunar month.
The reason why Han You chose the third day of the Lunar New Year was because he was afraid that someone would inform Zhou Tianfeng of Nandi if he was in Qiongzhou.
Han You in the carriage looked at the baggage at his feet. This was his biggest support, three military talismans and a pile of imperial edicts.
When the gatekeepers in the south of the city and a group of guards saw the carriage coming, they quickly pulled up the side door.
Until the carriage reached the official road, and until the silent troops behind the carriage disappeared from the official road, the guards of the capital were relieved.
Dozens of troops armed to the teeth, with one person, two horses, and three carriages, arrived outside the city two-quarters of an hour ago. This group of Beijing guards was so nervous that if they were not all wearing the clothes of the Yi Dao Guards, they would all I want archers to climb the city wall.
"If parents are here, there is still a place to come in life; if parents are gone, there is only a way back in life."
Yesterday, he spent a whole day in Han Mansion to accompany his father. He suddenly realized that he was actually a very homely person and loved his family.
When he was at Four Seasons Villa, until his father was in Beijing and he missed him, he could ride into Beijing to see his father on horseback. But precisely because of this, he rarely went to Beijing.
As the ancients said, if your parents are around you, if you don't travel far, you will have a good travel plan.
The so-called "prescription" is both a place to go and a method. It should make parents feel at ease and know that the place they go to is safe and they will return safely.
This is what's strange about Han You. Originally, he didn't want to tell his father that he was arresting people with military talismans, and that he would probably have to deal with several aristocratic families. However, when his father heard that he was going to the Southland, he also He breathed a huge sigh of relief and even said that Nandi is just fine.
The matter of General Zhu Guo has been settled. The emperor had a private talk with Lao Han at the Yuan Day Banquet in the Villa. Lao Ba was sincere and sincere, and Lao Han had nothing to worry about.
Yesterday, Lao Han asked Han You what he would do if he became a general of the Zhu Kingdom.
I don’t know when the proud father began to ask his son’s opinion on everything.
Han You knew that his father shouldn't ask him, he just wanted to talk to him more.
Parents are the ones who are constantly looking at their backs with joy and sadness, wanting to get back their hugs, but not daring to say anything.
Han You stuck his head out of the car window: "Lao Fu, Lao Fu, Lao Fu!"
Fuyu Xiang hit the horse and came forward: "Xiaoyu is here, young master, please give your orders."
"Send someone on horseback to Xunyang and ask Pei Qi to wait on the official road. We won't stop in Xunyang anymore. The sooner we get to Qiongzhou, the better."
"yes."
Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving Beijing, Han You had already begun to miss his father and his two concubines.
Wu Mingyue suddenly became pregnant, which really caught Han You off guard.
When a man is alive, if he cannot take care of his pregnant wife until his own blood is born, or cannot accompany his child to grow up, such a life must be incomplete.
She was pregnant in ten months. Han You didn't care how many aristocratic families in the South would dislike him. If necessary, he would use the three military talismans together. He just wanted to return to the capital before autumn. The most important thing in life was not to miss too much. days.
Han You did not bring many people with him this time. His core companions were only the three Sha family brothers and Fu Yuxiang, as well as Teacher Pei, who had not had time to return to Beijing in Xunyang. There were only fifty miscellaneous soldiers accompanying him.
It is worth mentioning that there are two people who are outside Han You's plan.
One is His Highness Can Gui, Zhou Tong.
Lao Ba didn't know what he meant, but he insisted on Zhou Tong following him, saying that he wanted to practice hard.
This is a very ridiculous thing. No matter how good the businessman is, he definitely has plenty of experience. He grew up in a military camp since he was a child, following his father around. After his father ascended the throne, he took charge of the Northern Territory Auxiliary. Soldiers have no shortage of experience.
In addition to Can Gui, there is also the Imperial Confucian scholar, Duan Qianfeng, a descendant of the military strategist.
Lao Duan is a thief and he obviously doesn't want to work in the Imperial College anymore.
But if we follow the normal procedure, the court will definitely have to persuade him to stay, and he will not be able to approve it within a few months.
It happened that Han You went to the south, and Lao Duan told the people in the Ministry of Rites that he would go home to visit his relatives. He would go back and forth for several months, and then he would write a letter to the court, saying that he was resigning because he was old and frail.
Resigning is not the purpose. The purpose is to go directly to the Four Seasons School to teach after resigning.
Lao Duan couldn't stand it anymore and ran between Beijing and Shanzhuang. His crotch was almost on fire when he rode horseback every night.
But the old master is not just wandering around, his hometown is also in the south, and there is a closed disciple in the south, whom he has not seen in more than ten years.
Han You didn't really want to take Duan Qianfeng with him, but Old Master Duan said that his close disciple was also in the border army and might be able to help.
Han You didn't take it seriously at all and didn't even bother to ask. With three military talismans in hand, this young master doesn't need to seek connections.
In addition to Wang Haihai, Lu Baichuan was also in the carriage, talking to Han You about Sikong's family.
The current head of the Sikong family has a rather unrestrained name, Sikong Changkong. In terms of financial resources, influence, and various abilities, he is definitely not as good as the Zhao family, and may not be as good as some other truly aristocratic families.
However, the relationship between the Sikong family and the various tribes outside the customs is particularly good.
When the previous dynasty first started, the Sikong family, originally a wealthy family in Beijing, was implicated in a rebellion case involving several princes.
In fact, the Sikong family is quite proud of it, because the Sikong family has beautiful women, which is well known throughout the country. I don’t know if it is a matter of genes or something else, but as long as they have a daughter, there will be no difference in appearance.
It is for this reason that two of the princes married the Sikong family. In the end, these two princes participated in the rebellion, and the Sikong family was also implicated and sent to Nanguan.
Either the Sikong family is particularly good at taking advantage of its own advantages, and it can be said that it is the first person in the country who dares to take advantage of the situation, and actually allows its daughter to marry a foreign tribe.
It can be said that before Huang Youwei returned to Beijing, the only people in the country who were laughed at were the Sikong family.
The aristocratic family pays more attention to blood. The Sikong family allows their daughter to marry a foreign race outside the customs, which is tantamount to a show between man and beast. How can it not be laughed at?
Facts have proved that the Sikong family is indeed prescient.
Fanman outside the pass was causing trouble every three days, which was usually fine. Once Beiguan was in emergency, or if there were any problems within the pass, the court would be at a loss what to do.
As a result, the foreign tribes outside the pass did not recognize anyone's words, but only recognized the Sikong family. They considered the Sikong family and themselves to be "one of their own."
Since then, the Sikong family has played the role of a "middleman" in Nanguan. The Nanjun and Fanman should fight again and again. If one party does not want to fight, the Sikong family will be the peacemaker.
Lao Ba asked Han You to find a way to marry the Sikong family. His intention was very clear, that is, to find a way for everyone to get off.
The Sikong family was involved in major rebellion cases in the previous dynasty. Regardless of the current dynasty, the emperor and the court care about this kind of thing. If you rebelled in the previous dynasty, this dynasty will not want to see you.
But the Sikong family's influence is there, so it's very difficult. It's a bit embarrassing to conquer them directly. Leave it alone, the Sikong family can still get in touch with the foreign tribes.
Lao Ba obviously wants to see if he can control the Fanman tribes outside Guan by wooing the Sikong family. He doesn’t ask for too much. As long as there is five years of peace, the country will be on the right track. If there can be ten years of peace, Lao Ba feels that he They can personally march out of Beiguan and into the grasslands to completely drive out the nomads.
"Wait a minute."
Han You looked at Lu Baichuan and was confused: "His Majesty said he would marry the Sikong family, who would marry him?"
Dachuan'er was also confused by the question: "You?"
"I..." Han You couldn't laugh or cry: "Let's talk if we can. If it's good, we'll see which of you wants a girl, and we'll get married. At worst, you'll recognize my father as your adoptive father. If we can't talk, forget it. I won't do such a thing. Use me Who do you think you are?"
Lu Baichuan's eyes lit up: "Is your father still in need of an adopted son?"
"Are you just panicking, or are the women from the Sikong family really that beautiful?"
"Both."
It can be seen that this kid Lu Baichuan is still very honest.
