Chapter 1148 Happiness and Brightness (Thanks to "zh Liufuming" for becoming the new leader of this book)

There is no snow this winter. After the long-lost haze, the sky shows a blue smiling face, and even the wind is much gentler.

In Daodefang, because of the long-lost good weather, the residents came out for a stroll.

"This weather is rare!"

Wang Xueyou praised.

Zhao Xianhui frowned, "It's better to go to the snow."

Wang Xueyou was angry, "You can't stop arguing with me?"

The husband and wife have lived together for many years, and each other's details are crystal clear. After losing all the sense of mystery and expectation, they also messed up casually with each other.

Zhao Xianhui ignored him, beckoning: "Ah Fu!"

Ah Fu is just ahead.

The weather is fine, so the uncle also came out for a walk.

"Ah Fu!"

The children in the workshop have been familiar with it for a long time, and dare to tease it at close range, but Ah Fu would not talk to them, and sat lazily under a tree.

"Where is Ah Fu looking?"

A snot-nosed baby asked.

Everyone followed Ah Fu's gaze.

"It's looking at the Fangmen!"

What about Baba?

Ah Fu got up and staggered home.

Arrived at the door of the house, Du He who was about to go out said, "Ah Fu is back?"

Ah Fu sat on the threshold and looked to the left.

The left side is the direction of Fangmen.

"Ah Fu!"

DouDou ran out, lay on its back and said, "Aniang made some cakes, Ah Fu, let's go."

Ah Fu sniffed, turned around and followed DouDou to the kitchen.

Later Soho's roar came.

"Who stole my pastry?"

Doudou and Ah Fu are sitting in the room, you come to me with a mouthful, very happy.

In the afternoon, Jia Yu is out of school.

"Can you do your homework today?"

Jia Yu asked the three siblings with a straight face.

Did it around, but Jia Yu was very dissatisfied, "The handwriting is sloppy, I seem to see you looking out of the window while doing your homework, and can't wait to go out to play!"

Doudou pouted, "Brother, you slandered me!"

Jia Yu said with a cold face, "If we do this again tomorrow, we will redo it."

The second child was very serious about his homework, which was praised by Jia Yu.

"Saburo's homework is quite satisfactory, as if he refuses to put in an extra effort."

"Just do it well." Jia Dong said lazily.

This is a family of four siblings.

Jia Yu then went to his mother's side.

"How is school today?"

Wei Wushuang is drinking tea.

It is also a kind of comfort to have a cup of tea after finishing the work and slowly watch the time go by.

"It's okay." Jia Yu sat down, "Next year's imperial examination is not far away, and the school is currently giving make-up lessons to those students who are preparing for the imperial examination, so we can relax a bit."

"You are still early."

Wei Wushuang knew what his son was thinking, "You, Aye, said that there is no need to take any imperial examinations before the age of eighteen. If you pass the exam, you are still a child. How can a child become an official?"

The person who passed the imperial examination when he was more than ten years old, do you really think he can be an official?

Make yarn!

High IQ does not mean you can be an official. Throughout the ages, people with high IQs have capsized more.

That's why Jia Ping'an said that no matter how smart his child is, he is not allowed to take the imperial examination before the age of eighteen.

Seeing his son Yu Yu, Wei Wushuang smiled and said, "You still have the official title of the chief secretary of Zhan Shifu, and you will be able to take up the post when you become an adult."

"But the imperial examination, I will not go."

Jia Yu seemed calm, but his pride was no less than anyone else's.

Of course Wei Wushuang is aware of his son's temperament, and said softly: "You, Aye, have said that there are many things that don't need to be stubborn...Life is full of hurdles and turning points..."

After talking for a while, Jia Yu just reluctantly agreed.

After he left, Su Ho said: "My husband is convincing, Wushuang, why did you talk dryly for a long time?"

Wei Wushuang was also quite annoyed, "How would I know?"

"Ma'am."

Yun Zhang came in, "Some things have been sent from the palace."

After Jia Ping'an left, the palace sent some tributes from various places to Jia's house from time to time.

"Your Majesty's condition is getting better, it's a blessing."

…

The emperor's eyes recovered a bit, not so blurry.

Sun Simiao said that the emperor's body is best rested.

"What is rest? It means not thinking and not getting angry."

Li Zhi was a little annoyed, "So you treat me as a useless person?"

"Your Majesty, the queen is here."

Wang Zhongliang said cautiously.

The queen came in and talked about today's court affairs.

"Li Yifu looked silent for a while, Li Ji looks really old."

A simple sentence let the emperor know about the changes in the court.

Although Li Zhi's eyes are not very good, his mind is more careful than before.

"Li Yifu is silent... This is to wait and see how I will deal with him."

Li Zhi said it lightly, as if he was talking about a dog.

"I warned him twice, once four years ago and once last year, enough is enough."

Wu Mei sat down, picked up the memorial and glanced at it, "I scolded him last month, and he seemed a little panicked."

Li Zhi pondered for a long time.

Wu Mei glanced at Wang Zhongliang, Wang Zhongliang shook his head, indicating that the emperor was fine.

Now the emperor's physical condition has become the top priority, and the queen has to ask several times a day.

Li Zhi took a sip from his water glass, "I faced many crises back then, and Li Yifu catered to me and cleared up many troubles for me. People say that when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks it. But I thought of the late emperor."

The first emperor was quite lenient to the heroes, such as Yuchi Gong, who committed suicide. And Cheng Zhijie knew that he had done too much, so he hibernated...

"Let Li Yifu come."

The emperor immediately discussed political affairs.

"The household department is quite capable. They have prepared food and grass in advance and are going to transport them to Anxi tomorrow."

"Dou Dexuan is effective in doing things and knows how to measure. This kind of courtier is the talent of the prime minister."

The corner of Li Zhi's mouth twitched slightly, Wu Mei knew that this was dissatisfaction with Li Yifu and Liu Rengui.

It goes without saying that Li Yifu is domineering and arrogant, but Liu Rengui also has some of this style.

"Anxi's side... the last time I came to the memorial, saying that I encountered an enemy ranger, and I don't know what to do."

Wu Mei frowned slightly, and casually put the memorial on the table.

Li Zhi put down his water glass, patted the table lightly, and suddenly stopped, "The discovery of Tubo Rangers, this is the beginning of a big war. He will definitely not come here for a while...unless there is a result."

Wu Mei nodded, "Publishing the memorial before the end of the war will only make Chang'an uneasy. But the news still needs to be reported."

Li Zhi smiled, "He said in the memorandum that after this battle, Tubo will no longer be a threat to the Tang Dynasty. The young man is full of self-confidence, which reminds me of the champion."

Wu Mei was surprised, "Your Majesty's reputation is too high."

Li Zhi shook his head, "Huo Qubing drove thousands of miles to defeat the Xiongnu, frightened the foreigners, and changed the decline of the big man against the Huns. It is a pity that this general died early, otherwise the fate of the big Han country would not be like this."

He talked eloquently, "Huo Qubing was a natural general. After he left, what would be the use of those generals used by Emperor Wu? So much so that the battle stretched and dragged down the great man... Two generations of accumulation, one dynasty was completely lost. "

"If this overcomes..."

Empress looks forward to the unprecedented strategic situation.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is here."

Li Yifu entered the hall and saluted.

Li Zhi looked at him, "Li Qing has worked hard these years, I know it well."

This is appeasement.

Li Yifu smiled and said: "Serving Your Majesty, I don't feel hard work."

Li Zhi couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could feel the relaxed breath.

"I heard that your family sold their official positions, especially your three sons and one son-in-law, who took over the criminal justice for others, which is very illegal. Many people have mentioned these things to me, and I have covered up a lot for you."

Li Yifu's face was red, and his eyes were full of anger.

Li Zhi felt it, "You should discipline your family well."

Li Yifu was furious, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, who told His Majesty this?"

"Disrespectful!"

Wang Zhongliang was furious and came out to berate him.

Li Zhi looked calm, "You just know, you don't need to know where the news came from."

Wu Mei was looking at Li Yifu with the same calm expression.

Wang Zhongliang felt that the empress had done everything she could to this person, and now Li Yifu should apologize.

Li Yifu snorted coldly, turned around and left.

Wang Zhongliang: "..."

We have never seen such an arrogant and domineering courtier in our entire life!

Are we blind?

He glanced at the empress.

Li Zhi said lightly: "Is this to devour the Lord?"

Wu Mei nodded.

…

Li Yifu returned to the duty room angrily.

"I'm so angry!"

Qin Sha came over, "My lord, this is..."

Li Yifu scolded: "I don't know which lowly dog slaves, they actually found His Majesty to speak ill of the old man in private... His Majesty ordered the old man to go... let the old man control his family..."

Qin Sha was startled, "Master, this is His Majesty's warning!"

The emperor generally doesn’t warn anyone, if he really warns, then he will give you a last hand.

Yu Chigong was so domineering back then, the first emperor called him away, and after some words, Yu Chigong hid at home and dared not go out.

But Li Yifu is still domineering.

Qin Sha's heart trembled, but Li Yifu sneered and said: "Nowadays, the court is persecuting the gentry everywhere. The old man knows what your majesty is thinking, and that is to suppress the gentry. But the gentry is powerful, if they are suppressed today, they will stand up again tomorrow, so Your Majesty Maybe the old man is missing?"

He said confidently: "Li Ji doesn't care about things now, Dou Dexuan is focused on managing money and food, Liu Rengui has a bad mind, and only thinks about prosperity and wealth. What His Majesty can use is the old man and Xu Jingzong, plus a Shangguanyi."

This is the current situation in the court. Li Ji might retire in the past few years, but Liu Rengui is not a gregarious person and cannot be mixed.

Li Yifu took a sip of tea, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xu Jingzong is not cruel enough, Shangguanyi is a piece of grass, useless. Only the old man can rush ahead..."

Qin Sha understood, "My lord, but Your Majesty can find another minister who can fight for him at any time."

Li Yifu laughed, and said disdainfully: "Those people have the skills of an old man?"

Qin Sha felt uneasy, and went home to see his mother later.

"Da Lang is restless, but he is in trouble?" Mrs. Zhang keenly noticed something was wrong with her son.

"Aniang, it's all right." Qin Sha said with a smile.

Ms. Zhang became thinner and thinner, her cheeks were sunken deeply, and there was no flesh at all.

This is a little bit of taking life away.

Qin Sha felt sore in his heart.

After going out, his wife Yang said: "A medical officer came before and said it was..."

She raised her eyes, looking hesitant.

Qin Sha choked up, "I know, how long?"

He knew that he would come back sooner or later on this day, but when it was coming, he still couldn't accept it.

Yang said: "The medical officer didn't say, but if he can survive the winter, there will be about half a year."

Qin Sha understood.

He walked out of the house and walked aimlessly in the workshop.

Mother's body has reached the level it is today, and he occasionally thinks it's okay when he thinks about it, at least he has allowed his mother to live a long time longer.

But he knew that his mother was enduring pain every moment, and many times his mother was more willing to give up all these things and leave.

But his mother was reluctant to bear him.

That's why I'm struggling.

Two tears fell down.

He walked into the alley, where there was a wine shop opened by a private family.

Why are you not allowed to do business in the workshop? It has long since existed in name only.

However, no one dares to open their shops on Cross Avenue, and most of them choose the winding alley that backs the street.

Qin Sha pushed the door open and went in.

Suddenly a wave of sound hit.

There are more than ten desks, most of which are seated at the moment, and they are all people from the workshop.

"Qin Langjun."

The owner and clerk of the restaurant smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Qin Sha said casually: "Have a jug of wine, a side dish... No need."

His family background is not bad, and he is not the kind of person who is so picky, so the boss smiled and said: "Okay."

A jug of wine, a wine glass.

Lift the wine jug and pour it down slowly.

Some cloudy wine was poured into the glass in lines.

He took a sip, and various tastes hit his heart.

"Nalu Dongzan brought an army of hundreds of thousands to Anxi, and Anxi was shocked! His Majesty was furious, so he ordered the prince to lead an army to attack..."

"It is said that there is already a war, but I don't know how."

The black-faced man sitting diagonally across from him patted his desk, "It must be Datang Sheng."

The man next to him frowned, "Tubo should not be underestimated! Moreover, Lu Dongzan was the leader. He said that even the late emperor praised him."

"So what?" The dark-faced man said confidently: "Mr. Zhao destroyed several countries in Liaodong, and killed 100,000 enemy troops in one fire. Hundreds of thousands of people are just a matter of a few fires."

"that is!"

Everyone laughed.

"Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. Yeye will join the army when you turn around. At least you will defeat Tubo and change the world."

"If Tubo loses, Datang seems... seems to have no opponent?"

The black-faced man smiled and said: "That's not true. Think about when the Tang Dynasty was established, there were beacons everywhere in the country, and all kinds of rebels were stalking them, and they wiped them out. There are many foreign races outside... The Turkic people even went to the edge of Chang'an back then. , Tubo also wanted to invade... and Korea, which has been invading Liaodong..."

Qin Sha also thought of the situation of Datang back then, which can be said to be in crisis everywhere.

"The Turks are over, and Liaodong is also pacified, and there is only one Tubo left to seek death...Look, in just a few decades, the Tang Dynasty has become like this, which shows that China has its own destiny!"

The word Huaxia has been around for a long time, and both Hua and Xia refer to the Central Plains. The two words can even be used interchangeably, for example, Zhonghua can also be called Zhongxia.

Huaxia is the Central Plains and China.

Qin Sha raised his head and saw that everyone was proud.

"Yes! I, Huaxia, have my own destiny!"

Even the shopkeeper is like this.

Proud, this is proud of one's own identity, but not arrogance.

This is a kind of pride brought about by self-confidence.

Countless years ago, the ancestors started from one place and expanded to the surrounding area step by step.

From slash-and-burn farming to today, the ancestors have experienced countless hardships, but they did not bow their heads and did not despair...

These experiences of suffering have endowed this nation with strong vitality, making them believe that every fall is only for the next rise.

Qin Sha couldn't help but feel agitated.

This is Datang!

…

More than ten riders braved the cold wind and arrived outside Chang'an City.

"Stop!"

The sergeant outside the gate shouted.

More than a dozen riders reined in their horses, and the leading sergeant held Lubu high.

"Great victory!"

"Great victory?"

The soldiers defending the city flocked.

"Grandpa is illiterate, who can come and see..."

"Tibetan is defeated!"

A sergeant cheered: "Tubo is defeated!"

"Victory!"

Amidst the cheers, everyone moved out of the way.

The sergeant rushed into the city of Chang'an holding a loofah.

"Great victory!"

"Tubo was defeated!"

The weather was cold, and there were not many pedestrians on Suzaku Street, but they all approached the team of soldiers after hearing the shout.

"Tubo was defeated!"

The sergeants were shouting.

"In August, our army fought against the 300,000 Tubo army and defeated Tubo!"

"Lu Dongzan only spared himself!"

"Our army has made countless gains!"

"The corpses are piled up like a mountain!"

"Victory!"

A man raised his arms and shouted.

"Victory!"

Everyone raised their arms high, those smiling faces!

Shouts came from the square walls on both sides of Suzaku Avenue.

Several children were catching insects in the corner of the square wall, and when they heard the sound, they shouted: "Great victory, great victory!"

They hurried home.

"Ah Weng, you said it was a great victory!"

The old man was dozing off by the brazier in thick clothes. Hearing this, his head suddenly fell, and he almost fell on the brazier.

"What?"

The child said: "What is it that Tubo was defeated?"

The old man trembled, got up quickly, got a cane, and hurried out.

He went all the way to Fangmen, Fangzheng was talking.

"It is said that the crown prince led the army to defeat Tubo, and only Lu Dongzan fled back in embarrassment. Great victory!"

"Tubo...Tubo defeated?" The old man couldn't squeeze in, so he asked the people beside him.

The woman beside her said happily: "It's defeated!"

Fangzheng said: "Once Tubo is defeated, Datang will no longer be invincible. From then on, we can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about alien invasion."

A sense of security that I had never had before made everyone laugh.

This is a peaceful smile that has never been seen before.

It seems that happiness is right in front of you, within reach.

Fang said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can also command an army to fight. I think this Great Tang... can be strong for at least hundreds of years, hahahaha!"

The entire city of Chang'an was laughing.

"A big victory?"

Cui Chen sat there, with the best charcoal burning in front of him, without any smell or smoke.

The room was warm, and the servant who came in to report said: "Ah Lang, just now someone came from Anxi and said that Lu Bu had reported the victory. The victory is going to the Daming Palace. Those soldiers are shouting, what are you talking about... Tubo was defeated, Lu Dongzan only won the victory with Exemption."

Cui Chen subconsciously said: "Great victory? Who can Ludong praise? That is a great talent that the late emperor praised so much, how could he just escape with his own life? Could it be a lie?"

The servant noticed that there was a little panic and panic in his eyes.

What is Alang panicking about?

What is he worried about?

Cui Chen got up, "Prepare the carriage, I'm going to find Lu Gong and the others."

He got into the carriage and went out with a serious expression on his face.

"If we win a big victory, the emperor's prestige will increase even more. What about my gentry?"

"It's too peaceful!"

"Great victory!"

Cui Chen with a serious face opened the curtain of the car, and saw a group of children cheering on the road.

He looked up, the sun was shining brightly.

He lowered the curtains, blocking the light from the car.

…
