A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 1106 Whistleblower
"Setting out in three days? Is it so urgent?"

Fan Xuanfu was surprised when he heard the news. Wu Huaiyu took the tea soup from his wife and said, "Soldiers are valuable and quick."

"I didn't even have time to make my formal robe for you."

"There is no shortage. I can wear what you made for me before. I have maintained a good figure over the years." Huaiyu said with a smile.

"Every time you go on an expedition, I always want you to wear my new expedition robe. Every stitch and every stitch is a blessing from me to keep you safe."

During dinner, Huaiyu called Chengsi to him.

He is already fourteen years old and has grown into a little man, almost as tall as Huaiyu. He also has a mustache on his lips. This boy looks more and more like Huaiyu and is excellent in all aspects.

He is very strong in horseback shooting, foot shooting, polo playing, and horse dancing.

"His Majesty is going to Longzhou for hunting the day after tomorrow. You can come with me."

Fan became worried after hearing this, "Why are you still taking Dalang with you?"

She knew that the emperor went hunting in Longyou, but in fact he was providing cover for her husband to send troops and help bring eight thousand forbidden troops from Chang'an to Longzhou.

He was worried that Wu Huaiyu was taking his son to fight in the Western Regions.

"Da Lang is still so young,"

Wu Huaiyu patted the back of his wife's hand and said, "I just asked him to serve His Majesty and go to Longzhou to practice. There is nothing else, so don't worry."

Fan Xuanfu breathed a sigh of relief, "Is the prince going too?"

"The prince is staying in Chang'an."

Chengsi is still a student of the Chongxian Hall in the East Palace, but he has also begun to serve as the prince's attendant. He is also regularly on duty at the Wude Hall. He is considered to be half the emperor's student. His future can be said to be bright.

In two years, he can be crowned and then marry Princess Lanling.

Wu Chengsi was very happy to go with him to Longyou. He was also willing to go out and experience things. Young people always yearn for the outside.

Chengsi didn't know that he was actually born in Rome, and now he was at the pinnacle that countless people could not reach in their lifetime.

The samurai courtyard in the spring evening,
The cherry blossom trees are in full bloom,
Princess Jinyang and Wu Liuer were running under the tree with their buns in buns. The two little girls had grown up a lot. They were over six years old. Li Mingda had completely adapted to the life of the Wu family.

Although Wu Huaiyu has not lived with everyone in the past two years or so, he has been paying attention to the little princess's body and constantly conditioning and nourishing her. Little Sizi is now in good health.

"Aye,"

Wu Liu came running like a swallow into the forest and got into his father's arms.

Not to be outdone, Princess Jinyang's little Sizi followed closely behind and playfully ran into Wu Huaiyu's arms, "Father, look at how beautiful these cherry blossoms are. I made a flower bag for you."

Huaiyu took it with a smile. This child had spent many years in the Wu family. She was very close to everyone in the family. Everyone liked this cute little princess.

The emperor also seemed to be very satisfied with the result. For more than three years, the emperor never mentioned the matter of taking the princess back to the palace. He occasionally came to see Xiao Sizi, and when he was not free, he sent someone to fetch Xiao Sizi and Wu. The two sisters Liu entered the palace,

But Xiao Sizi was used to staying in the Wu family, but he was not used to being in the palace. He couldn't stay for more than two days before clamoring to come back.

Now that her mother is gone, Taiji Palace is a stranger to little Sizi.

Regardless of whether it was Concubine Yang or Concubine Wei, although they were also very kind to Xiao Sizi, Xiao Sizi felt that they couldn't get close to them.

The children of the Wu family gradually grew up, and Wu Huaiyu was also very emotional when he saw them.

The eldest daughter Yingluo is already fourteen years old, and the palace has already begun to talk about when to welcome her.

If Prince Ji Li Shen wasn't still young, Concubine Wei would have wanted to get married right away. Wu Huaiyu didn't want her daughter to get married too early.
He thought it would be best to remarry after the age of twenty, but he also knew that this was impossible. According to the Chinese concept, a twenty-year-old woman was already an older leftover woman.

Queen Changsun also got married at the age of thirteen.

Folks generally get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and any later is considered too late.

Yingluo has grown into a slim figure, very tall, and has a bit of the long-legged appearance of her biological mother Fan Jiuniang, and even has a bit of Fan Xuanfu's temperament.
Calm and sensible.

"The previous Concubine Wei invited me, Sanniang, Yunniang, and Jiuniang to come into the palace to talk about the eldest lady's marriage."

"Marry again at twenty." Huaiyu said with a smile.

Yingluo sat aside, arranging flowers and burning incense, she was quiet and gentle, but she was not only a quiet lady, but also had the style of a general. For example, she played polo very well and fought hard on the polo field. He is flying vertically and horizontally, and his skills are excellent.

Another example is that she is good at shooting arrows, and she also learned the swordsmanship of killing horses with her hands from the Xuanfu sisters.

Xuan Fu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Twenty years old. As you can tell, your great youth has been wasted."

"Then eighteen will get married."

"Eighteen is too late," "Sixteen, it can't be any earlier, it must be sixteen years old. Although this woman matures earlier than men, it is too early to get married, especially too early. Childbirth is very harmful to the body, so it’s better to wait until later.”

······
night,

Fan Xuanfu pulled her into his courtyard.

"Twenty-two Lang is over three years old. Let's have another one." Xuan Fu blushed and grabbed his hand.

Wu Huaiyu and Dingyou have been worried about each other for nearly three years, and the Wu family has not had any more children for three years.

"You have given birth to five children, three sons and two daughters. Are you still pregnant?" Wu Huaiyu has no motivation to have children now. The family has more than 20 children each, and it is already very prosperous.

Sometimes Wu Huaiyu even feels that there are too many children. Although he is very close and familiar with each one, he feels that he lacks more companionship and care. He can give them rich clothes and food, but he cannot give them enough companionship.

Although the biological mother of each child gave a lot of love and care, and everyone was even used to this kind of aristocratic family, Wu Huaiyu felt that it was really impossible to have another child.
If it continues again, the child will no longer be able to recognize it, let alone the warm affection between father and son and father and daughter.

"I'm still young and can have more children." Fan Xuanfu thinks that women should have children until they can no longer bear children. Even though she is now Mrs. Gaoming, the third-grade Mrs. Song of Song Dynasty, she is not yet forty. At least I can live until I'm fifty, so having five more children won't be a problem.

Wu Huaiyu pulled her to sit down.
"Giving birth to a baby can cause serious damage to a woman's body. She ages faster after giving birth."

"Alang, do you think I'm old?" I also know how to practice the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu and the Eight Parts of Longevity Kung Fu. I have also been practicing the yoga you taught me, Alang.
Look at my waist and belly, they are still the same as they were ten years ago."

Faced with Fan Xuanfu's anger,
Wu Huaiyu didn't explain, just picked her up and kissed her deeply, suppressing all her dissatisfaction.

Next, use more practical actions to show that you are still deeply in love.

Deep love, deep love,
Give it all to her,

······
After the morning dynasty, the prime ministers all returned to the political hall to work.

Although Wu Huaiyu returned to pay homage to the prime minister, he did not return to the political hall. He was now focused on preparing for the expedition and was busy with the imperial army outside Xuanwu Gate.

Hou Junji passed by Wu Huaiyu's apartment and looked at it for a while, with a complicated expression in his eyes.

He went back to his office and sat for a while, but felt extremely irritable. He stood up, walked around for a while, sat down, and then got up again.

After thinking about it, I took out a box of Dragon and Phoenix Tea from the cabinet. A small piece costs one tael of gold, so a small box costs sixteen taels of gold.

Carrying the tea leaves, he went to the imperial censor Zhang Liang's apartment next door.

Hou Junji stood at the door and knocked on the open door a few times.
"Mr. Yun, are you busy?"

Zhang Liang raised his head and glanced at Hou Junji. He did not stand up to greet him, but pointed to the official documents piled up on the case. "Yes, he is busy with official duties. His Majesty will go hunting in Longzhou the day after tomorrow, and I am also on the list of accompanying him." , this official matter needs to be handled more urgently,"

Zhang Liang did not invite Hou Junji to come in and sit down, but Hou Junji still came in with tea leaves.

He also closed the door behind him.

"This box of tea is pretty good. Give Prime Minister Zhang a box."

Zhang Liang could tell at a glance that this was the Dragon Tuan cake, which was said to be worth one tael of tea and one tael of gold. Jianzhou tea was very expensive. But the taste was indeed very good. Hou Junji placed the tea leaves on Zhang Liang's desk and said, "This is tea from the Royal Jianzhou Tea House. It's quite good."

Zhang Liang did not look at the tea leaves, nor did he accept them.
Hou Junji, however, sat down minding his own business.

"Wu Huaiyu is a villain. When I think of his proud and arrogant face, I feel extremely uncomfortable. You were attacked and excluded by him at the beginning, and you were dismissed and demoted twice because of him. Now you are finally back. Don't you plan to do something?"

Zhang Liang said unceremoniously, "I resigned twice because of you and because of your involvement."

Hou Junji immediately said, "When I resigned as Prime Minister, I was also squeezed and framed by Wu Huaiyu. You and I were both harmed by Wu Huaiyu. I can never swallow this tone. It is not a gentleman to not retaliate against a grudge. This time Wu Huaiyu is arrogant." Arrogance wants to destroy the Western Region with eight thousand riders, this is our opportunity,"

Hou Junji also expressed his sincerity at the moment.
He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he did not seize the opportunity to defeat Wu Huaiyu and allow him to make great achievements in the Western Regions, then the day Wu Huaiyu returned to the court would be the time for him to step down again.

But he was alone and had to recruit more allies. Zhang Liang's previous resignation as prime minister was also related to Wu Huaiyu, so he must have resentment in his heart.

Zhang Liang remained silent and did not respond to Hou Junji's invitation, but he did not reject it either.

Although Hou Junji did not receive a clear reply, he felt that this was a good momentum. This showed that Zhang Liang did hate Wu Huaiyu, but was still afraid of his power.

As long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to win them over.

After a long time, Hou Junji walked out of Zhang Liang's apartment with his mouth dry and his heart full of fighting spirit.

Behind him, Zhang Liang looked at the place where Hou Junji had just sat and narrowed his eyes. After a long time, Zhang Liang threw the cup that Hou Junji had just drunk tea from directly into the trash can.

Then he returned to his desk, picked up his pen, and wrote a secret letter to the emperor, recording everything Hou Junji had just said and secretly reporting it to the emperor!

Putting down his pen, Zhang Liang sneered twice and said disdainfully, "How dare you be the enemy of Wu Huaiyu?"

"If you want to die, don't drag me into the water, you idiot!"
