The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 885 Chapter 870 Four: The emperor returned the money, and Wuji hurried back to his hometown

Bai Huiying lowered her head in shame.

"Sister Mingzhu, you are so smart, you can understand such a profound truth!

It seems that I am far behind you, I can't blame Wuji for talking about me just now! "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"You silly bitch, you can learn a little from me in the future, don't just sit around all day when you are full and have nothing to do, then how can you do it!!
I said Bai Huiying, from now on, you should have more contact with our Mingzhu siblings!You see how smart they are.

You have to know that a bird is accompanied by a luan and the wind soars away, and a person is accompanied by a virtuous person who is proud of himself!

If you stay at home all day, what is the difference between you and those village girls?

Look at me, I followed our brothers through the wind and rain, isn't this a true achievement?

I am now a high-ranking official who has to sit, and I have power if I want money!

If I didn't follow my brother, would I be where I am today! "

Bai Huiying nodded after listening.

"Sir, I know about this.

The sage said: If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no such thing as goodness!

No matter how smart I am, Bai Huiying, could it be that I can't even learn this! "

Princess Mingzhu smiled and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you think highly of our couple too!

Okay, let's stop talking about these useless things, let's go eat.

Let's chat together after dinner, anyway, we have plenty of kung fu now! "

A few people came to the small dining room to eat, Tie Niu and the others chatted here for a while, and then went home.

After seeing off the two couples, Duan Wuji continued to play with the children, and the family continued to live a happy and carefree life.

Half a month later, on this morning, Duan Wuji was wandering around the house with his baby in his arms, when a guard ran in.

"Reporting to the Wang family for thousands of years, there is a letter from the eunuch outside the door, and the emperor has ordered you to enter the palace to meet the saint!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! I know about this.

Is the eunuch gone? "

"Returning to the prince, the eunuch left after delivering the letter. He didn't stay in front of our mansion."

"Oh! That's how it is! Let's go! To put it bluntly, he's just a messenger."

Duan Wuji made his son his wife.

"Go, go play with your mother, Daddy, I'm going to the imperial city to find your uncle!"

Princess Mingzhu took her son, looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Master, why do you think the emperor is looking for you?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Then what's the matter? It's nothing more than the matter of returning our money, or some miscellaneous matters in the court, so what else is there?

Mingzhu, just stay at home and take good care of our son!

I went to court.

If there's anything wrong, don't you know when I come back in a while! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji changed into court clothes, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the iron ox walked towards him.

"Brother, what do you think the emperor wants us to do?"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Who knows! We'll know when we go!
Why should we bother to guess this matter!
Let's go, let's hurry over! "

The two of them didn't ride horses or sedan chairs, they walked straight towards the imperial city on foot, the waiting guards knew that they were Duan Wuji and Duan Tieniu when they saw the two people coming at a gallop.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there are only two people who don't ride horses, don't make sedan chairs, and don't have soldiers who open the way!
If you want to find a third person, it will be very difficult.

As soon as they saw two people running to the gate of the imperial city, the waiting guards hurried over to meet them.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, are you going to the palace to face the saint?"

"That's right! Can we brothers and sisters run here without face-to-face? Didn't the eunuch tell us to come here just now?"

The two of us are face-to-face by order, so whoever of you will report to us! "

"Prince Duan, General Duan, wait here for a while, and I will inform you of the villain!"

As he said that, a guard waiter turned around and ran into the depths of the palace.

Not long after, the guard ran back again.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, the emperor is here to invite you two to come with me."

The two followed the guard and walked straight to the depths of the palace.

Arriving at the gate of the Suzaku Palace, the guard stopped.

"Prince Duan, General Duan, the emperor is in this Suzaku Palace, you go in by yourself!

Little man, I won't go in. "

The two nodded and smiled, then walked straight towards the Suzaku Palace.

After entering Zhuque Palace, I saw that there were no other officials in the hall, only a dozen eunuchs and court ladies were waiting on both sides.

The two walked a few steps closely, knelt down to salute Li Shimin.

"Second brother! What's the matter with bringing us two brothers here?"

Li Shimin smiled slightly when he saw it.

"You two princes, hurry up and sit down, it's not the time for the morning court, what kind of ceremony do you think you are doing!"

The eunuch moved two chairs for the two of them, and they sat down on the chairs.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's been a good time, the world is calm, and there's nothing going on in the world. It's rare for me to be in such a good mood!

If the world were so peaceful, how wonderful would it be!

How wonderful it would be for us monarchs and ministers to have fun together!

The bitter days of the flames of war may be gone forever.

Why!Why don't you offer tea to my two lovers? Could it be that I have to order these things myself?

I really have no eyesight at all! "

After hearing this, the maids of the prison guard hurriedly served tea and water for the two of them!

While drinking tea, the two chatted with Li Shimin.

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry, now our country has a certain national strength, so we have a relatively peaceful life.

It's all about His Majesty's ability to govern the country!

Now our country has no fewer than 20 cavalry, and if those invaders want to attack our country, they will have to weigh it more or less.

If they invade our country rashly now, once our country counterattacks, they will all be in danger of subjugation!

Second brother, you can relax. If anyone of them dares to invade our country in the future, we will send soldiers to destroy their country in one fell swoop. We will kill them all and let their land be bathed in the sunshine of our country. What do you think? "

Li Shimin laughed out loud.

"Brother, I know that you are too murderous, if you provoke you, I'm afraid you are really in danger of exterminating your family!

To be honest, second brother, I am waiting for your words!
Now that you've said that, I'm relieved. Once there is another war in the country, you have to help me out! "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Second brother, don't worry about this matter, as long as I, Duan Wuji, is here, if the country is in danger, I can't ignore it!"

Li Shimin laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, it's fine with your words.

I brought you here today to tell you one thing, I have prepared the money I owe you, and you can take it at any time.

If there are any difficulties in this country in the future, I will borrow from you again!

As the saying goes, if you borrow frequently and repay frequently, it is not difficult to borrow again! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Second brother, when will we load the money into the car for our brothers? After loading the car, we can get it back to our hometown and pay the debt!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"You two virtuous brothers, what's the matter? Do you really have a bill in your hometown?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Is there any fake one? To be honest, we two brothers are almost dying of poverty, but the money was borrowed from us by you, second brother, so we are embarrassed to ask you for it." ah!

You said it's been such a long time, we two don't earn a penny, what do you think our brothers are counting on to live!

Look at all the civil and military forces in the dynasty, which one didn't send out his entourage to rush forward and embrace him!

Our two brothers have been walking to the court all the time, so we don't even have a follower!

Why is that?

That's because our brothers couldn't afford to support them, so we didn't dare to recruit these people!

The two of us can't owe a big debt, let's put on that ostentation.

Second brother, you have to send someone to escort us to our hometown, and you shouldn't ask us to pay for this fee. "

Li Shimin nodded and smiled.

"Isn't this a trivial matter? What's the point of this! That's fine, why don't I send someone to escort you back? Isn't it just such a trivial matter!

So when do you two want me to load the car for you? "

"What's the point of this! Of course, the sooner the car is loaded, the better. We can't waste our time when we return to our hometown!

Second brother, you also know that most people don't want to let their tents go outside for the New Year. Now that the New Year is approaching, we will be clean when we pay back the tents. "

"That's good! Then tomorrow, I'll ask them to give you some money to load the car. After loading the car, let them rush to your two houses. You two can leave whenever you want."

The matter was settled in this way, and the two chatted with Li Shimin for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

The two retreated from the palace, chatting happily while walking home.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Brother, the emperor has already given us the silver, how much silver do you think we should put in the home in the capital?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "I plan to put between fifteen and twenty cars. After all, we have settled down here as a new home. The price of goods in this capital is also expensive. If there is too little money left, it may not be suitable. of.

Brother Tieniu, what do you think? "

Tie Niu grinned.

"I will learn from you too, let me let go of such numbers.

We brothers are in harmony, isn't that great! "

When the two returned home, both of them got busy.

Mingzhu looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Husband, what is it that my emperor brother called you to?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Of course it's a good thing. The emperor wants to return the money owed to our family. Don't you think it's a good thing?"

"So, you should go back to your hometown, right? So, what a good thing this is!"

Duan Wuji blinked his eyes.

"I said Ma'am, what are you talking about! I haven't been back to my hometown for such a long time, and it's time to go home.

You also know that the parents in the family are not young. To be honest, I miss them too!

In our old home, don't we still have two sons? It's been almost a year, why don't you think I don't show my face?

If this gets out, it should be said that I, Duan Wuji, are not alone.

madam!You don't want me to be infamous for Duan Wuji, do you? "

Princess Pearl smiled sweetly.

"Husband, look at what you said, I am also a sensible person, just now I was just talking casually, there is no other meaning, you want to go home, how can I not support it!
To be honest, it was not easy for my sister Jinhua. It was tiring enough for one person with two children.

Go back and look at them, that's absolutely as it should be.

This year the child is still young, and it is cold in our hometown, so I will not go back with you this year. After returning home, you can greet the second elder for me, and at the same time say hello to my sister Jinhua!

Next year, when the child is older, I will take him back to his hometown and let him meet his grandparents, and let their grandparents also meet their grandson.

Also let this brat meet his two elder brothers and his aunt, we are all a family, but we must not go far away?

Take some time tomorrow, and I'll collect some New Year's goods for you to go back. If you don't bring some New Year's goods when you go back, you can't explain it! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Madam, you are a sensible person. There are very few reasonable ladies like you!"

Mingzhu handed the child to a maid, and then said to a servant: "I said, Lao Zhang, let's go, follow me to order New Year's goods.

The prince and the others should go back to their hometown soon, and it will be too late to order new year's goods. "

The servant agreed to set up the car and went. When Duan Wuji saw that Princess Mingzhu was so sensible, he was really happy from the bottom of his heart!

In the morning of the next day, forty carts carrying silver arrived, and each cart was followed by four soldiers, each of whom was guarded with a sword and gun. The scene was very grand!

In addition, a lieutenant general on horseback and armed came with him, and one could tell how much the emperor attached importance to this matter.

After these carts were driven into the courtyard, Duan Wuji ordered to open the storehouse for holding silver, unloaded eighteen carts of silver, counted the numbers one by one, and then ordered the soldiers to move the silver to the storeroom for gold and silver. .

After moving all the silver, Princess Pearl locked the door of the warehouse.

Princess Mingzhu smiled and said: "Now our family is really rich.

Husband, I'll be watching those New Year's goods delivered for a while, you can pack them into the car!
With the car loaded, it's almost time for you to hit the road. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"Pearl! Take care of our family's silver!
How to spend every money, you have to think about it!
Don't waste money when you have it, do you hear me clearly? "

"I know, I know, do you still need to order this?
I'm not that prodigal son, don't I even know this! "

The time is not too long, and those New Year's goods will be delivered.

That's true: there are everything in silk and satin, and there are all kinds of pastries and delicacies.There are countless delicacies from mountains and seas, and all fruits and vegetables are fresh.

These goods were loaded into more than a dozen large carts, which happened to fill up the few carts that had unloaded the silver.

Duan Wuji saw that everything was tidied up, and said to the servant: "Prepare my horse quickly, I want to set off for my hometown immediately."
