Family Has a Concubine

Mr. Zhou was kind and approached with a smile, and took out a handful of sweet-scented osmanthus candies. As soon as the group of children saw the sweet-scented osmanthus candy, they rushed up yelling, snatched it, and kept stuffing it into their mouths.

Mr. Zhou looked at them with a smile: "Children, where does your village chief live?"

A chubby six or seven-year-old gnawed on candy while pointing to a farmyard not far in front: "Our village chief lives here." He said and jumped up and down towards the farmyard.

Mr. Zhou and King Liang looked at each other for a step, then followed them to that side. In the distance, I saw a white-haired old man in his sixties sitting crookedly on the big rock in front of the door, smoking a hookah.

"Village head." Xiao Pangdun yelled while biting the sweet-scented osmanthus candy.

The white-haired old man raised his head and said hey: "Fatty, what are you eating? Where did you get the money to buy candy? Did you touch your father's money?" Just two blows to Xiaopangdun's ass.

"No, no, not at all." Little Fatty was taken aback, "It was the old man over there who gave it to me."

The white-haired old man squinted his eyes and raised his head, only to see an old man in his sixties or seventies standing there, dressed in ordinary coarse cloth, but he still couldn't conceal his elegant aura.

Mr. Zhou looked at the white-haired old man with a smile: "General He, hello."

The white-haired old man was startled, and frowned slightly: "Who are you?" He swept his eyes over those people, and finally landed on the handsome young man, his eyes widened suddenly: "You are... ...I had guessed you would come."

While talking, his eyes were like lightning, and his eyes fell on the young man.

Wearing an ordinary black simple and straight dress, but with beautiful eyebrows, the eyes are slightly smudged with a touch of elegance and coldness.

General He looked at King Liang and was stunned, as if he saw a familiar shadow between his brows and eyes.

General He was originally a subordinate of the old general of the Xiao family, guarding the northwest.

At that time, Empress Xiao was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who grew up among men in the Northwest. She didn't like red makeup and preferred military uniforms.

But girls are always mischievous, and besides, people in the northwest will inevitably encounter scattered enemy harassment.

Old General Xiao was afraid that something would happen to her, so he asked her to choose a hundred people from his army to protect her. In the end, she chose General He and the others. At that time, General He was just a new soldier in the army.

This army was originally only to protect that naughty and ignorant little girl, but she was not taken hostage by the enemy army.

How could she have imagined that after gaining a hundred people, she dared to lead these people to fight against Xilu's scattered cavalry, and finally won. After several small battles, she showed her good talent for leading troops in war at a young age.

People who were picked by her were also shocked, and became more obedient to her, and she was so interesting, there was a kind of hope to fight hard all over her body, and she was better than the hard, smelly, stubborn old General Xiao The guys are much better, even if Old General Xiao wants to transfer them away, they are not willing.

Old General Xiao saw that his daughter was powerful, so he knew he couldn't keep her locked up, so he simply let the Xiao family army call her. Her personal guard also increased from a hundred to a thousand.

In the subsequent several battles, she personally led the troops into battle and returned with great victories, becoming a legend of Daqi. It's a pity that Daqi didn't allow women to be generals, so the emperor at that time made the people around her generals. That's him.

But everyone knows that the northwest half of the wall is propped up by daughters of the Xiao family.

In the end, the daughter of the Xiao family married an unknown prince.

However, no matter how unknown a prince is, he is still a prince, and the daughter-in-law of the emperor's family cannot wield swords and guns.

Her personal guards were disbanded. General He was so sad that he could no longer follow her, but he was also unwilling to return to the northwest to become a so-called general and automatically disarmed and returned to the fields. At that time, some of the 1,000 people who belonged directly to her returned to the northwest or their hometowns, and some who were homeless left with General He and lived in seclusion here.

In the end, the prince ascended the throne, and the daughter of the Xiao family became the queen. Within a few years, the Xiao family was convicted of collaborating with the enemy, the queen was abolished, and sent out of Beijing.

When they found Tongzhou, the Xiao family was rehabilitated, the queen was dead, and a pair of sons and daughters were brought back to Beijing.

Because of the distance, General He only heard a few sporadic things about the affairs of the court.

Said that the emperor doted on the fourth prince very much, and gave him all the good things, and even married the concubine bestowed by his successor.

And so on, General He had mixed feelings, hoping that King Liang would be favored and not be treated poorly, but he also felt that he was a forgetful one.

Since then, General He and others have stopped asking about royal affairs, because Liang Wang is not only her son, but also the emperor's son.

Until November last year, I heard that King Liang had poisoned the prince, and finally escaped from the capital. General He couldn't help asking people to go out to inquire again, and at the same time guessed that the little prince might come to him.

Looking at the charming and charming man in front of him, he really looks alike, especially the heroic look in his eyebrows and eyes, which is especially similar to Empress Xiao.

General He looked at it, and his heart was very moved, as if standing in front of him was that gorgeous woman again. It's just that the eyes seemed to be more ruthless. However, since he was caught in such a vortex, it would be better to be cold-blooded and ruthless.

"You are..." General He's eyes turned red.

Although he had already guessed that he would come, General He was still uncontrollably excited when he really stood in front of him. Since King Liang knew they were here, it proved that she had never forgotten them.

Although this is also the emperor's son, it is also her son! They are like her natal family, there is no natal family who doesn't like her nephew.

"Father! Father!" At this moment, a man in his twenties came running from a distance. Tall and strong, with a dark face, "There are several strangers sitting outside the village, this—" Before he finished speaking, the man froze, and saw four or five people standing in the yard of his house. People, all of them have extraordinary bearing.

The man stopped immediately.

"You bastard, what are you yelling about?" General He snorted coldly, "Come here quickly, and greet His Highness."

Your Highness? The young man was startled, then with a dignified expression, he walked up to General He and bowed to King Liang: "See Your Highness."

Seeing this, Liang Wang, Mr. Zhou and others breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this Xiao family army can still be used.

"General He and Young Master Ling don't need to be too polite." Liang Wang hurriedly helped them up.

General He said: "Ah Pei, call your second uncle and others over, and then go to the cellar to bring up some jars of wine."

"Yes." He Pei hurried out.

General He cupped his hands: "Your Highness, please sit inside the room. It's just that the humble house is simple, and I've wronged you."

Liang Wang said: "General He is polite."

Several people followed General He into the house.

This is an ordinary small farmyard with three main houses on the front and two huts on each side. It is a small three-in-one farmyard.

Several people walked into the main room, and General He hurriedly offered to sit down: "Please sit down, Your Highness."

Seeing him standing there, Liang Wang hurriedly said: "You are welcome, general, please sit down."

General He just sat down, Liang Wang said: "I only heard about it, but I didn't know that you guys really stayed here, General."

King Liang's "I heard" made General He feel mixed feelings. This rumor, needless to say, must have come from the mouth of Empress Xiao.

General He lowered his eyes and was silent for a while before saying, "Did your mother tell you this?"

Liang Wangdao: "No, she passed away without remembering anything. My sister told me all these things."

General He was startled, and then remembered that she died very early, it seemed that she had the eldest daughter first, and then the youngest son.

"My sister said that the queen mother was very powerful before, with five-star generals and seven devil hoofs under her command." Liang Wang said, his red lips curled up.

General He couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! What are the five-star generals and seven devil hoofs? She is just playing around. She is a daughter's family, how can she be a general. But she said at that time, 'Father commander's eight tiger generals , Twelve Cloud Riders, even if Xilu has ten divine generals, so I must have one under my command.' So, I ordered a few of us, and named a five-star general. At that time..."

Speaking of the past, General He couldn't help but smile on his face, his brows and eyes were shining brightly, as if the glory of an old man's life lies in this.

Liang Wang listened quietly, except for teaching Chu San to play the piano before, he had never been so patient.

He was plotted against by all parties in the palace since he was a child, and Emperor Zhengxuan did all kinds of disgusting things in the name of loving him, and he had a blood feud. He never got close to the so-called relatives of Emperor Zhengxuan. In my heart, I was thinking about the dead queen mother and sister.

General He is Xiao's army, the former personal guard of Empress Xiao, even the cautious and suspicious King Liang is a little closer to him.

While General He was talking, people came in one after another, they were three elderly men. No need to guess, these three people must be the five-star generals that General He said back then. But there is one person missing, whether it is dead or did not stay here in the first place.

They came in and all stood aside in silence. The last one to come in was that young man named He Pei.

"Dragon Valley is the most rugged and dangerous. Naxilu's little bastard was shot with an arrow and rolled his eyes. If it wasn't for the sudden wind that blew the arrow away, he would have died! Where did the big defeat of the Chu family come from?" General He laughed loudly, "Guess, who is that little bastard?"

King Liang raised his eyebrows: "Could it be the famous marshal of the country in Xilu later—Golden Sword General?"

"Hahaha! Yes!" General He slapped the table and laughed, "I used to be just a dazed little brat! If it wasn't for the strong wind at that time, she would have killed her. Return the Golden Sword General, bah!"

Liang Wangdao: "Later, the general of the golden sword was still beheaded by the sons of the Chu family."

General He snorted softly, and nodded: "Marquis of Zhenxi, right? We've heard about it too, the number one scholar in civil and military affairs!"

For the Chu family, the Xiao family has always admired them. It's a pity that Chu Zheng broke a pot of good porridge! What is rare is that now there is another Chu Yunpan. It's just... I heard that he is loyal and highly valued by the dog emperor.

King Liang's eyes flickered slightly. Chu Yunpan is his man, and even the grandson of the female general they look up to, but he will not tell him about this until General He is 100% loyal.

"That was the last battle." A skinny old man standing aside smoked a hookah.

General He was pulled back to reality in an instant, with sadness in his eyes. "It's been a year since we learned that the Xiao family had an accident. When we found her place of distribution, the Xiao family was rehabilitated, and you have already been sent back to Beijing."

They had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

If the Xiao family is rehabilitated, then there is no need for them to avenge the Xiao family and her

Mr. Zhou said: "Although he was rehabilitated and His Highness was taken into the capital, life in Beijing was never easy. Everyone said that Emperor Dog was very kind to His Highness, but that was just what he did for others. For myself to see. I usually give His Highness a lot of rewards, but that is really just a reward. Give His Highness a painting, but give it to the Prince who guards the Feng family in Yingcheng. Give His Highness a Zhuangzi, but give the Prince five city soldiers and horses. No matter how many big mistakes the prince made, the dog emperor can always protect the past. Last winter, he was about to die of illness. In order to clear the way for the prince, he forced his highness to charge him with poisoning the prince. Leaving the capital, his siblings have long been deposed, and he is under house arrest in the Tongzhou Imperial Mausoleum."

"What?" General He jumped up.

They are very far away from Beijing, and the news is blocked, so they can't know the details of Beijing.

Moreover, for Empress Xiao to marry such a person, I felt a little annoyed in my heart. Although I knew that King Liang would face various problems in Beijing, Emperor Zhengxuan dared to write an edict of guilt, which proved that he was still a bit upright The bright one is that the palace will be a little frustrated, but it will not be life-threatening.

Where did I think of...

"Is the current empress surnamed Zheng?" General He asked.

"Exactly." Liang Wang said.

"Hmph!" General He's white eyebrows trembled with anger, "The Zheng family is just a bunch of sycophants, and they couldn't even get a number at that time. If it wasn't for various means, how could they get such a fat job as guarding Yuzhou? !"

The border between Yuzhou and Beiyan, Beiyan has always been poor and cowardly, there is no war all year round, and there is peace and tranquility there. The Zheng family guarded there, not only safe and comfortable, but also gained a good reputation of guarding the country and defending the country.

"When the Xiao family was at its peak, our female generals would follow the army back to the court every year. There were many entertainments in the capital, and the second girl of the Zheng family said that everyone was the daughter of the border general. It’s so ridiculous! She often invites our girls to play at flower banquets. Although people in Beijing praise her as a female general who doesn’t give way to women, how many of them secretly say that she is too polite and can even serve as a man’s job? .”

"At that time, I secretly compared her with Miss Zheng Er, saying that they were both the daughters of generals. She was just better looking and knew how to fight, but she was not as good as Miss Zheng Er in everything else. She was a generous person, because she Said that she doesn't care about this kind of thing, just like the general does not compare with literati and scholars, she does not compare with Zheng Er's daughter in dignified women! Even if Zheng Er's evaluation is higher than her, so what, they are not from the same way, what will happen in the future It can't be mixed together."

Hearing this, Liang Wang's eyes were intertwined with hatred, and his fists were clenched tightly. Empress Zheng——

As a result, she married an unknown but like-minded prince. After the prince helped God to the throne, when the female general of the Xiao family made soup for him, he married the daughter of the Zheng family who was praised by the world!

In the end, she was forced to such a desperate situation. The daughter of the Zheng family really lived up to her reputation.

But the one who is even more powerful is the prince who was originally unknown!

Liang Wang's eyes were cold and sharp: "Now the capital has been properly arranged, but the closer it is to the capital, the more dangerous it is. Now there are not enough manpower. I hope the general will help me."

Since he had guessed that he would come, General He had already made plans to help him, and nodded: "We old people can't walk anymore, but there are still a few young people in the village. There are not many people, but they all They are trustworthy. Speaking of boasting, these people are no worse than regular people."

"This is really great." Mr. Zhou's eyes were a little excited.

If the subordinates are too loyal, they will generally pass on this loyalty.

Just like Chu Yunpan's brother Yuhan, who was originally the son of a general under the Chu family, but the Chu family fell into decline. All the former branches of the Chu family ran away.

Some loyal subordinates wanted to stay, but Uncle Chu was afraid of causing trouble, so he drove them away.

There was a general surnamed Yang who refused to leave, so Qin made things difficult for him, saying that the Chu family did not support idlers, unless they were slaves! He also said that the Chu family's servants are enough, and they have no money to buy more! Unless you don't want to sell yourself for money, you don't want monthly money, you have food and no salary.

That General Yang was also stubborn, he actually sold his two sons to the Chu family directly, so that the young master who followed the Chu family would serve the Chu family again if the Chu family cheered up one day.

Brother Yuhan's father's fate was difficult. Seeing that Chu Feiyang was abolished, Chu Congke was an idiot. The third master of the Chu family was from the worst background, but at least he looked the most normal and beautiful at first glance, so he climbed with Chu Yun. Otherwise, Chu Yunpan wouldn't even have a servant.

Now, General He has also passed on this loyalty.

For Empress Xiao, they feel sorry for them, and they have also been disheartened, but they still hope to be remembered by her.

If the first generation doesn't work, then the second generation!

There will always be a day to remember!

"Then I will thank General He." Liang Wang clasped his hands.

"Your Highness, you don't need to be too polite." General He's old eyes were a little red, and he quickly supported Liang Wang. Turning back to He Pei, he said: "He Pei, call your brothers over."

"Yes." He Pei was about to leave, but his footsteps stopped abruptly: "It's just..."

Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "If General He has any questions, just speak up."

He Pei said: "Our brothers have practiced hard for many years. Of course, we don't want to practice for nothing. We are also waiting for today's opportunity. However, I wonder if His Royal Highness King Liang is really ready?"

Liang Wang said: "Naturally."

He Pei said: "I heard that Princess Liang was bestowed by Empress Zheng."

Liang Wang's eyes turned cold, "How are you doing?"

Mr. Zhou heard that King Liang seemed to be stepping on a cat's tail, and his tone was too aggressive, so he said anxiously: "His Highness was young and helpless, and was seriously injured. If you don't marry, you have to marry."

"We understand this matter." He Pei said, "In some cases, we have to endure humiliation, but we heard that His Highness left Beijing, but brought Princess Liang with him. I don't know why?"

As soon as these words came out, General He and the others frowned deeply.

Mr. Zhou was shocked. These were all people who were loyal to Empress Xiao. They hated the woman who had made friends with Empress Xiao with a smile before, but in the end snatched Empress Xiao's husband and stabbed her backhand in the end.

Naturally, the person she bestowed cannot be taken! Moreover, what kind of good bird can the princess she stuffed in have? Must be a traitor! Even if there is no evil intention, this woman cannot stay.
