Chapter 496 Fortune and Misfortune

In autumn, the peasants will be harvesting soon, and the army will definitely need food, let alone the crisis of food shortage.

But their prairie suffered disaster. The weather was getting colder and many animals were hiding. In addition, they themselves were still cold early, and the grain harvest was very little. They were the ones who were really facing the crisis of food shortage.

Thinking of this, the Xiongnu Khan had no choice but to send a peace ambassador here, but he didn't have the courage to make a condition. He paid tribute to two hundred good horses, and five hundred cattle and sheep each. The prince took it back.

Without the harassment of the Huns, those troublemakers in the south are nothing to worry about. As soon as the south heard that the Huns had surrendered, they fled one by one, daring not to cause trouble again.

"Hahaha!" The emperor sat in the imperial study, looked at Zhezi in front of him, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said to Rong Jin in front of him with a little joy in his voice, "Jin'er, I really lost money this time." That Chi Hang, if he hadn't donated food, we wouldn't have settled this matter so easily!"

Without waiting for Rong Jin to speak, the emperor said excitedly, "The Xiongnu surrendered, and those small troublesome forces in the south were not enough. When they heard that the Xiongnu surrendered, they all abandoned their armor and fled. These areas that did not belong to us are now all ours. "

As the emperor said, he walked to the wall behind him, pointed with his finger, and circled the entire map on the wall, "I have fulfilled all the wishes that the late emperor had not fulfilled, and regained the lost land!"

"Congratulations, father, congratulations, father!" The corners of Rong Jin's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He hoped that there would be no war in the world, and everyone could live a simple life of their own.

"Have they returned to the capital?" The emperor said, slightly raising his eyes to look at Rong Jin.

"I heard from the informant that I'll be back in two days' journey." Rong Jin had a faint smile on his brows, and now he had a very good impression of the Chi family couple.

As soon as Rong Jin's words fell, the emperor suddenly seemed to remember something, and frowned slightly, "By the way, I heard that this Chi Hang disrespected his parents and disobeyed his family."

"I've heard about it too," Rong Jin said calmly with downcast eyes, "Chi Hang didn't respect his mother, he was forced by her mother."

The emperor looked at Rong Jin suspiciously, and sat on a chair beside him, frowning even more. Their country doesn't want unfilial people.

"That man is also a poor man. He has been hunting to earn money for his family since he was a teenager. Five years ago, he fell from the mountain because he went hunting. Lang Zhong asserted that he would not live long. His mother didn't want to drag the whole family down because of him alone. , spent money to marry him a wife, and separated the family that day, and gave them only a little rice, no land, and a yard and a thatched cottage." Rong Jin said, looking up at the emperor, with a sincere tone , "Fortunately, Mrs. Chi's miraculous rejuvenation directly cured his illness."

Speaking of Mrs. Chi, the emperor suddenly remembered that it was the lady who helped Rong Jin see a doctor some time ago, "So high in medical skills?"

"Father, how many people in the world can be cured of smallpox!" Rong Jin said with a serious face, "Even the Lu family saved the people of our capital because of Mrs. Chi's guidance. Their pharmacies are very cheap to see a doctor, which is much better than other pharmacies.”

The emperor stroked his beard thoughtfully, it was hard to imagine that such a couple would do such a thing, "Sounds like a nice person."

"It's just that Chi Hang's mother is a street shrew. When Mrs. Chi was about to give birth, she directly pushed Mrs. Chi there. As a result, Mrs. Chi gave birth prematurely and almost died. After the separation, Chi Hang's mother often found trouble and caused trouble everywhere. What It's hard to hear, and I don't care about their husband and wife at all." Having said this, Rong Jin felt extremely uncomfortable when he thought of hearing about Chi Hang from others. There are not many such loving and righteous people in the world. He fell to the ground, his voice choked up, "What I said was just a little bit of grievances they suffered in daily life. If they didn't leave that house, I guess the two of them have supernatural abilities. How could they treat ordinary people cheaply?" , how could it be possible to pay for the military camp? The two of them even adopted their second brother's child. Please don't punish them for the crime of unfilial piety. Their children, just like the father protects us children, don't want us to suffer a little bit of grievance."

When the emperor heard Rong Jin say that, his eyes were full of shock, and even more helpless, he waved his hand at Rong Jin and said in a low voice, go out.

Rong Jin still wanted to say something, but seeing the emperor's stern expression, he said slowly, "I remember when my concubine mother was pregnant with her younger sister, she fell down, and at that time I hated myself for not being able to take good care of her." Concubine mother, what should I do if there are any problems between concubine mother and younger sister? Fortunately, concubine mother and younger sister are fine, but my younger sister is still taking medicine because of premature birth and congenital deficiency. Would you like to ask Mrs. Chi to come over and help my younger sister? I can take good care of my sister's body."

Rong Jin didn't mention Chi Hang this time, but just gave the emperor a chance to figure it out, and let the emperor realize that there is a problem, the empress's premature birth is dangerous, and by the way, he will mention Madam Chi's medical skills.

With a sullen face, the emperor looked up at Rong Jin, waved his hand at Rong Jin, and said coldly, "Go out first."

"My son will leave." After Rong Jin said what he thought he should say, he silently withdrew from the room.

When Rong Jin withdrew, the emperor seemed to have aged a lot, leaned back on the chair tiredly, looked up at Eunuch Li, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Chi Hang?"

When Eunuch Li raised his eyes, his eyes were slightly red, and he secretly wiped away his tears, sucked his nose hard, and said with a choked voice, "Your Majesty, I just think that if I had such a father back then, I would not You won’t be sold to a dirty place, if it weren’t for your good heart, the emperor, maybe the slaves would have to kneel and bathe horses and cows for the rest of their lives.”

The emperor looked at the uncontrollable tears in Eunuch Li's eyes, and sighed softly, "He is a good father."

"The slave thinks that rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, and it is normal for them to not want to see their mothers when they are separated," Eunuch Li said, thinking of what the prince said about the children, he felt even more uncomfortable. A lot of money, but when the family was separated, they only gave ten taels of silver. The mother is too partial. The fourth child can become a high-ranking official, and the third child will be given ten taels of silver. It’s unreasonable to go out, it’s really unreasonable to say it, let’s not talk about it, this countryman can’t make any money at all, and those who can make money are made by being hunters.”

The emperor looked at Eunuch Li seriously, and nodded slightly, "Are you agreeing with his unfilial piety?"

Eunuch Li’s legs trembled in fright, he quickly knelt down on the ground, and argued, “No, this kind of filial piety is justified, but this kind of filial piety can only be filial piety if people are alive. The couple were almost killed, and they both died once. I’m afraid the heart will be chilled, people’s hearts are made of flesh.”

Seeing that the coercion on the emperor has subsided a lot, Eunuch Li remembered what the prince said, and hurriedly said, "Since the fourth son has money to study, he can't treat the third son. Alright, Your Majesty, after this person recovers, how cold his heart will be!"

The emperor remembered that when he was sick, he was alone in the palace waiting for the late emperor to visit him, but the late emperor still did not go to see him.

At that time Rong Jin was eight years old and Rong Lin was three years old, the two of them went to accompany him and coax him every day.

The past time is gone forever, the emperor feels that he is a little old, thinking that after the last thing is done, it is time to take care of himself.

When Chihang Lin Guyu brought his family back from the south, the sky in the north had already turned cold, and the leaves on the trees had turned yellow and began to fall from time to time.

Fortunately, I also brought thick clothes when I went, otherwise I would definitely feel cold when I came back.

Lin Guyu felt very tired, and it was really too troublesome to go out. Although someone helped clean it up, it just took too much time on the road.

Back in the room, Lin Guyu took a simple bath, and then lay lazily on the bed. He played and went along the way, but he didn't feel tired. On the way back, he was in a hurry, and felt a little tired .

Holding a towel, Chi Hang casually wiped his hair. Seeing Lin Guyu lying on the bed, he walked towards her, his brows furrowed uncontrollably, "Your hair is still wet, it will wet the bedding, yes Poor health."

Lin Guyu pressed the hair on his head, sat up slowly, turned his head to look at Chi Hang, "I won't go so far next time, I'm so tired."

"En." Chi Hang said, thinking that he had seen almost everything along the way, and he would have to go to the prairie in the future, but there are Huns over there. I heard that the Huns surrendered recently, but just look at them The appearance of being brave and good at fighting may be pretending to surrender.

Lin Guyu reluctantly sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hands to wipe his hair, looked at Chi Hang intently with his beautiful eyes, and said solemnly, "But let's go hiking some other day. We don't have children, so let's go!"

"it is good."

The results of Xu Zixuan and Dousha came out a month after they left.

Xu Zixuan passed the No.4 exam and is already a Juren.

Dou Sha's grades were a little behind, and she passed the Tongsheng exam in the [-]th place.

It happened that the time for two months of rest came, and Lin Guyu didn't have time to rest, so he helped the two of them prepare things, and then sent them to the Kyoto Academy.

There are many young students and scholars in the Kyoto Academy. If they pass the exam, they will go to a higher school.

After seeing off the two children, Lin Guyu came home from outside in a carriage, and saw government soldiers surrounded the entire Chi Mansion, each holding a long sword.

Lin Guyu got down from the carriage, looked at those people in astonishment, and thought to himself, could it be that the matter of the tribute was discovered?
