Chapter 511 The relationship between father and son
Mengyuan and the two Mengliao brothers had just made an oath, and a clear voice suddenly sounded outside the frontier: "Brother Tianfang, are you planning to die for the Ying family, and to be loyal and righteous in charge of the ancestors?"
Mengyuan and Meng Liao brothers changed their expressions and looked up at Meng Feng. Just now, the two brothers felt that their father seemed to be explaining their funeral to them. The more people said this, the more they felt like they were like. The two brothers immediately stepped forward and hugged Meng Feng Feng's thighs, one left and one right. In desperation, they didn't know what to say, but his father, Ahon, kept screaming.
Meng Feng's heart was slightly shocked and he looked at it in a hurry. He saw Bailixian already flowing in. A handsome young man was still following him, but it was the prince Xiang Wang.
"Brother Ziliang? Prince?" Meng Qiang quickly greeted Meng Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground, Meng Liao also quickly stood up and looked at Xiang, and Bailixian greeted him.
Baili Xian replied to the greeting and smiled at Mengyuan. Meng Liao said, "Two nephews, you accompany the prince to the military camp for a walk. Uncle still has something to say to your father."
Meng Yuan and Meng Liao knew that their father had a very good relationship with Bailixian, and they almost said anything. Bailixian persuaded their father to change his mind. It can be said that he was the best candidate, and the effect was much better than that of their brothers. He accompanied Xiang Wang to the headquarters and Meng Keng also accompanied him. Only Bailixian and Meng Shuo were left in the lobby of the headquarters.
Bailixian then solemnly stepped forward and worshiped Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Tian and Meng Yi's tablets. He also paid tribute to the incense. Meng Feng knelt on his side and replied, and then invited Bailixian to the table with a solemn hand.
The two sat down and sighed, "Brother Ziliang, you should know me."
Bailixian said, "Of course I know you. Not only do I know you, but the king also knows you very well. He is afraid that you will die for the Ying family. So he sent me to Liaodong with the prince Wang to stop you from committing suicide. My great Chu cannot lose a pillar of loyalty and righteousness like you."
Meng Feng sighed, "Does your brother want to be disloyal and unfilial?"
Ying Zhen was sentenced to death. Meng Feng was the guardian of the Ying family. If he could not die for the whole family, it would be unfaithful. If he violated the ancestors' loyalty and righteousness, he would be unfilial.
Bailixian encouraged his tongue and counted with his fingers: "When the king married Concubine Ying in Jiuyuan, Tian Fang and all the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion made a vow to protect Xiang Chu in this life. This day's vow is still in your ears, but Tian Fang you gave up great righteousness for the sake of the whole matter. Is this loyalty? Filial piety?"
Meng Feng smiled faintly and said, "I did make an oath in Jiuyuan to protect Xiang Chu to the death, but I also made a poisonous oath in front of my father in front of my ancestors and sects, and swear to protect the bloodline of Ying. Now that Concubine Ying is dead, the bloodline of Ying is gone, and I should follow my father to the ground."
Bailixian advised again: "Tianfang, protecting Ying is a small matter, and loyalty to Da Chu is a great righteousness!"
Meng Feng shook his head and said, "Ziliang, the bloodline of Ying's family has disappeared. I have no face to live in the world. Don't persuade me again."
Baili Xian smiled bitterly. Of course, he could see that Meng Fu was obsessed with him, and he knew why this obsession came about. In fact, Meng Fu was not the legitimate son of Meng Tian, the pre-Qin general, but just a fake son. However, Meng Fu's worship of Meng Tian has been integrated into the bone marrow. Meng Tian would rather commit suicide than betray the Qin Dynasty. This had an indelible impact on Meng Fu.
It is probably at that time that Meng Fengyu had already swore in his heart that he would follow his father Meng Tian in this life, and would rather die than betray the Qin Dynasty, and would never betray the Ying family. However, now, Ying Zhen, as the last Ying family bloodline, as the last royal bloodline of the Qin Empire, no longer exists. Then Meng Fengyu had no other choice except to commit suicide.
Of course, the whole story of my father's suicide is not forgotten, and the only one who cannot let go of his obsession in his heart is Meng Feng's death. The death of the Ying family is just Meng Feng's personal choice. The Meng family will continue to be loyal to the Great Chu. This is also the main reason why Meng Feng summoned his younger brother Meng Keng and his two sons to the spirits of the ancestors and the clans to preach.
With a gentle sigh, Bailixian had to throw out his last remark and said, "Tianfang, who said that the bloodline of Ying's family has been extinct? Isn't the prince's bloodline of Ying? He has at least half of the bloodline of the Qin royal family!"
Meng Fengqi shook his head and sighed: "But he is Xiang after all, and he is a son of the Xiang family."
Baili Xian waved his hand and sighed, "When will the sky be released, the king ordered the prince to come to Liaodong with me. Don't you understand what he meant? Let me tell you the truth. The king gave the death of Concubine Ying, which was a last resort. He still felt guilty about our old Qin residents, so he decided to let the prince Wang change his surname to Ying to inherit the bloodline of the Ying family."
"What?!" Meng Fenghui's expression changed slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Ziliang, do you think this is true?"
"You and I have been together for decades. When did I deceive you?" Bailixian sighed, "Brother Tianfang, the king is so kind-hearted, one is to make me and the remaining people of Lao Qin have a thought in their hearts, but more importantly, it is to you, the tiger of the Meng family. The Great Chu cannot be without you, the Meng family."
"King." Meng Feng's face changed again and again, and then he bowed to the south to the ground, and he could not get up for a long time.
Bailixian then breathed a long sigh. Judging from the situation, the Meng family tiger had figured it out. The trip to Liaodong was not in vain. He said again: "Tianfang, I will set off for Luoyang tomorrow. The general will also go with me. Liaodong or the Northern Diao Kingdom will be handed over to your Meng family four tigers."
This is also Xiang Zhuang's consistent purpose. Don't doubt others, and don't doubt others!
Meng Yan stood up, then bowed to the south again to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
…………
The royal family set off from Ziling to Luoyang, which was not the first or the last, but the most numerous. The concubines in the harem, the princess, the palace maids and the imperial guards, were in the number of tens of thousands, and there were also a large amount of supplies. The royal family moved, and there were many jars and jars and jars, and all kinds of miscellaneous items.
Three hours after noon, the men and horses gathered together. Xiangzhuang ordered the departure, first exiting Ziling from the north gate, then along the Triumph Avenue to Wujiang Port, then crossing the river north, and reaching Zhongli. The general of the tower ship, Zhonglimei, transferred another five thousand naval troops, and the men, horses and baggage were divided into water and land, and heading towards Luoyang.
As the monarch, Xiangzhuang naturally does not need to be exhausted by carriages and horses, and there are large ships to ride.
Arriving from Zhongli County, first go westward through the Huai River, then heading north into Yingshui, and then entering Chen County, which is one of the five counties in Liang, namely Runan County in later generations. During the Han Dynasty in Chinese history, Runan County was a large-capacity county with the largest population, and once had more than 2.6 million people.
However, at this time, Chen County was in a depressed situation.
From Huai River to Yingshui, we traveled a hundred miles northward. There were many villages along the way, but none of them came out of smoke. We sent soldiers to check it out. They all said that there was no one. We arrived in Ruyin County. There were finally people living on both sides of Yingshui, but there were very few people. Even in Ruyin County, there were only hundreds of families...
Xiang Zhuang sighed in his heart and waved to the prince Xiang Zheng.
Xiang Zhengzhan walked to Xiangzhuang tremblingly, bowed and said, "See Father."
Seeing Xiang Zheng being reserved and cramped, as if walking on a bob, Xiang Zhuang felt sad and said a few relaxed words to ease the atmosphere of conversation between the father and son. However, what he said was hidden with the words of the sacred judge: "Prince, what do you think about the depression on both sides of Yingshui?"
Xiang Zheng looked bitter and looked at the doctor Wu She with a look of help.
In order to teach the prince Xiang Zheng, Xiang Zhuang equipped him with a powerful Taifu regiment, teaching military strategy, teaching history books, teaching Shusun Guan (has been broken by a chariot), teaching martial arts, teaching Jin Xiang, teaching riding and shooting, and occasionally even letting the buses teach the prince the thief and the learning of the mechanism.
However, at this time, several grand tutors were not around, so Xiang Zheng could only turn to the help of the senior doctor Wu She.
Wu She knew that the king was taking the exam for the prince, so he naturally could not answer the prince. He turned his eyes elsewhere and pretended not to see anything.
Xiang Zheng became more and more anxious, but after all, he had been the prince for many years. Although he was anxious, he could still calm down. He calmed down and said carefully: "Father, my child thinks this place is very depressing, and it is really not as prosperous as Jiangdong."
Xiang Zhuang's face turned cold and said unhappily: "So many Taifu can teach you this little knowledge?"
Although Xiang Zheng’s words were true, Xiang Zhuang instinctively believed that Xiang Zheng was greedy for the prosperity of Jiangdong and could not endure hardship.
Xiang Zheng was so scared that he quickly knelt down on the bow of the boat and said tremblingly: "The child is stupid and has no extraordinary opinions. I hope the father will not get angry. If the father is angry, the child will not be redeemed."
"Forget it, get up and talk." Xiang Zhuang sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to support Xiang Zheng.
Looking at Xiang Zheng who was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands, Xiang Zhuang knew that in the minds of his sons, even if he was not a tiger with a head, he probably wouldn't be much different. In front of him, his "father", he might not even be able to make any point in his talent, let alone Xiang Zheng was originally qualified.
Xiang Zhuang was a little excited, so he sent Xiang Zheng back to the cabin to accompany his mother.
Wu She came up and explained: "The prince is not a person who wants to be happy. He just said that he was just inspired and had no deep meaning. The old minister thought..."
"You don't have to say good things to him," Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said calmly, "Don't you know my own son? The prince's qualifications are a little worse, but he is a kind person, like his mother, and he has a tough personality and a tenacity that he will not give up until he achieves his goal, but this is very similar to me."
Wu She breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "I, Wang Yingming." (To be continued)
