Gao Huai was very moved when he heard it, "You have grown a lot these years, and you can comfort me in turn! Forget it, since you have a good life, but this prostitution..."

As Gao Huai said, he looked at Wen Youshan, "Mr. An, this old man has an unfeeling request. Jiang Dayi is also a soldier who defended his family and country and killed countless enemies on the battlefield. Can I redeem him?"

Before Wen Youshan could open his mouth, Jiang Dayi was unhappy, "What are you doing to redeem your body? Isn't it good that I am like this now! Besides, I am leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. If I redeem myself, my life may be a mess!"

"No prospect!" Gao Huai couldn't help but stare and scolded, "Can this slave be compared to a good citizen? No matter how glamorous a slave's life is, he can't compare to a good citizen who eats chaff and vegetables. Do you understand?"

Wen Youshan couldn't help laughing at Gao Huai's expression of hating iron but not steel, "Don't worry, General Gao, Jiang Dayi is also a nominal guard in my family. Although he sold himself to me, his children didn't sign the contract." The contract of selling their lives is just because of Jiang Dayi's situation, they can't enter the official position, but fortunately, the few children are not interested in the official career, but like to wield knives and guns, so I sent them to the county bodyguard bureau to learn martial arts."

Jiang Dayi nodded fiercely, "That's not it! If it weren't for the prince's face, those brats in my family would not have such a good life! If they can practice literature and martial arts, they can stay in the bodyguard bureau or be a fast catcher in the future Yes, they are much better than me! I don’t point out that they have any great fortune, so that’s pretty good.”

Gao Huai stared at Jiang Dayi without blinking, seeing his sincere face, clear eyes, and gentle temperament, unlike the prickly prickly cactus in Mobei in his early years, he knew that he should have a good life Happiness went smoothly, thinking of this, Gao Huai no longer insisted, and thanked Wen Youshan again.

After Jiang Dayi told his story, he asked curiously: "General, I saw that the mansion is very calm. The housekeeper said that your family is separated?"

Normal families don't like to separate when the old man is around, let alone a big family, the Gao family is the first one, at least Wen Youshan and Jiang Dayi seem to be really shocked.

Hearing this, Gao Huai's eyes became a little more desolate, and he smiled self-deprecatingly. Live on your own ability, don’t blame others when you’re better off!”

It sounds like Gao Huai's sons and daughters-in-law have a lot to do, but it's hard for them to get to the bottom of the situation.

Jiang Dayi shook his head in disapproval, "It's only reasonable to have a junior around to respect you, and they don't have anyone to live with you?"

"Does a few granddaughters count?" Gao Huai said half-jokingly.

Jiang Dayi looked serious, and shook his head again, "The granddaughter will marry sooner or later, they are asking you to raise the granddaughter, give the granddaughter a dowry, and do business without money!"

Don't look at Jiang Dayi's carelessness, but he is as meticulous as a hair in some matters.

Gao Huai was also obviously startled by Jiang Dayi's words, and couldn't help laughing: "You really impress me right now! Not bad! It seems that selling yourself to the Duke is not a bad thing, at least this brain Got it!"

"General!" Jiang Dayi frowned, "Don't change the subject, what about your subordinates before? The Duke of the State said that after they went to Mobei, many people in the barracks were replaced. Are they not in Mobei? Not in the capital? Didn't come to see you?"

Gao Huai was silent for a long time, then forced a smile and said: "Everyone has their own future, my marshal has been honored and raised long ago, what are they doing here? If it weren't for the emperor's disapproval of my leaving Beijing, I would have returned home long ago Already!"

"How can they be so ungrateful!" Jiang Dayi grinned angrily.

Gao Huai patted the back of his hand with a calm expression, "The guards who followed me through life and death all returned to their hometowns. I guess your life is the smoothest. Coupled with the relationship between Duke An, we can see each other again. , other people definitely don't have this ability. The reason why others are loyal to me is out of interest considerations. When I can no longer bring benefits to them, they will naturally not waste energy on me. This is also very good now, no need Get involved in those intrigues!"

Wen Youshan was very upset when he heard it, and he gritted his teeth for a while and said: "Don't worry, general, when I go into the palace and ask the emperor why he doesn't let you go, if possible, I will definitely fight for the general."

Gao Huai was stunned for a moment, thinking that Wen Youshan is now the head of the state, so he didn't refuse.

The two of them stayed in the Gao Mansion for a while, and they left when it was almost dinner time.

Jiang Dayi had been in a low mood along the way, and Wen Youshan knew what he was thinking, patted him on the shoulder silently, and comforted him: "Speaking of which, General Gao's ending is pretty good now, how many generals and marshals Without a good death, military power has always been a taboo for emperors, otherwise I would not support your uncle to retreat!"

With Wen Yuanliang's age and position, if he continues to lead troops on the front line, it is very likely that he will surpass Gao Huai's prestige back then, but that would not be a good thing for him. !

Jiang Dayi wiped his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "I know, but it's not worth it for the general! Such a good person as the general is so miserable in his later years, it's hard to think about it."

"Okay! Let me go into the palace and ask, and see what the emperor means." Wen Youshan also felt that Xiao Guang's detaining him in the capital was a bit unfair.

Thinking of this, he immediately entered the palace.

Because of his status as the head of the state, it was extremely convenient for him to enter the palace, and soon appeared in the emperor's imperial study.

Xiao Guang had just had dinner with Wen Yuanjing in Yongxi Palace, and now he came back to Wen Youshan before his butt was hot, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows curiously, "Where did Mr. An come from?"

Wen Youshan looked gloomy, opened his mouth, and said, "He came from General Gaohuai's residence."

"Gao Huai?" Xiao Guang frowned, showing suspicion, "When did you walk with Gao Huai?"

"It's not me!" Wen Youshan sat on the stool brought by the palace man, and muttered, "The minister's family has a guard, who used to be the personal guard of General Gao Huai. This time he came to the capital to deliver a letter, so I asked the minister to take him to see him." Old General, it turned out that Gao’s mansion was deserted and deserted when we came to the door. General Gao’s appearance is quite desolate. In addition, you don’t allow him to go out of Beijing, so he looks even more pitiful! So I came to the palace to ask the emperor why you didn’t let General Gao Return home?"

Xiao Guang squinted his eyes and stared at Wen Youshan for a long time, "I really want to know?"

Wen Youshan nodded desperately, "This is why I entered the palace, and I also want to intercede for General Gao by the way."

Xiao Guang was speechless after hearing this, "You don't hide your secrets, you dare to say anything!"

Wen Youshan sneered, waiting anxiously for Xiao Guang's answer.
