Chapter 25 My name is Cheng Haitang

Haitang suddenly felt distressed that she was about to be separated from the master who had raised and loved her for fifteen years, and suddenly she was afraid of being alone and helpless. She didn't know how to deal with herself in that strange environment. For a time, she had so many thoughts and feelings, and her tears were like broken beads. The ticks fell out.

Xie San looked at Haitang in front of him and remembered the teardrop in the corner of her eyes before she died in the previous life. His red eyes only said: "Don't cry." He couldn't say another word of comfort.

"Your surname is Cheng, and your name is Cheng Haitang."

Gu Quan looked at Haitang and said: "At that time, Concubine Li was falsely accused of poisoning the Queen Mother, and the emperor wanted to kill everyone in Concubine Li's family. Only your father, General Cheng Yu, in the civil and military dynasties, stood up for lack of evidence. He cried out for injustice and injustice for Li Shangshu.

General Cheng was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army.The emperor was furious and sent your father and Shangshu to prison together, claiming that they would be beheaded together.The news reached Cheng Mansion that the mistress of Cheng Mansion, your mother, was pregnant with you and was about to give birth. She gave birth early due to great grief and was extremely weak after giving birth to you. However, your aunt insisted on bringing the whole family back. Rural refuge.

Unconsciously or not, your aunt asked your mother to take you and sit in the same car with your three-year-old brother, but no one was following you.Just after leaving the city, the driver took away the gold and silver and drove away, leaving you on the roadside. Your mother lost too much blood and almost fainted. "

Hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but burst into tears. Xie San clenched his fists, but didn't know where to hit her to relieve his hatred.

"I have just escaped from the city gate. I heard your brother's cry and found you. After I treated your mother briefly, I left dry food and water for your brother. However, because I had to run for my life, I could only leave your mother behind. Stay where you are, waiting for help from others.

Because your father's life and death were uncertain at the time, your mother was afraid that both children would die unexpectedly, so she handed you over to the old man to raise you as a baby.I remember that your Cheng family was implicated in the Queen Mother's case and suffered this unreasonable disaster. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I took you and fled to Lingnan after many twists and turns. Finally, I met the Feng family and his wife in Yueling and settled here. "

Gu Quan lowered his head and pondered for a moment and then said: "Later, I also asked about it and said that your father was protected from death by all the ministers, but was demoted to the border commander. After he was released from prison, he also found your mother and you Brother. It's a pity that your mother couldn't be treated in time, she fell ill and died soon after."

After that, Gu Quan took out the swaddling cloth and handed it to Haitang. Haitang opened it with tears in her eyes, and a silver baby bracelet with two small bells fell out.On the swaddling cloth, Haitang's mother wrote a line in blood: Cheng Shi Haitang, father Cheng Yu, mother Cheng Yao Jinyu.

Xie San picked up the small bracelet and looked carefully. He saw a small word "Cheng" engraved inside the ring.Haitang took the bracelet, looked up at Xie San with a tear-stained face, and said pitifully: "My surname is Cheng, and my name is Cheng Haitang."

Xie San smiled tenderly and gently wiped away her tears with his hands: "I know, of course I know. Your father Cheng Yu was brave and good at fighting, promoted the power of our army, and defeated the Tatars at Xuanfu Pass, so he won the imperial court's commendation. Do you want to see his commendation order?" A hint of surprise suddenly flashed across Haitang's face, and she nodded seriously.

Xie San called Ling Xue and asked Ling Xue to go to the room to find Cheng Yu's commendation documents.Haitang read each word carefully and saw "General Cheng Yu" and "Deputy General Cheng Hanbai". Knowing that it was his father and brother, he couldn't help but burst into tears while holding the document.

Seeing her smile, Xie San asked again: "I know something about Mr. Cheng, do you want to hear it? And your brother Cheng Hanbai, I also had a relationship with him during the martial arts examination. .”

Haitang nodded.With Xie San's guidance to her, she gradually calmed down, and a strange and unstoppable fascination arose in her heart for these two blood relatives whom she had just learned about.

"Your father and brother are guarding Xuanfu Town, one of the nine important towns. Outside Xuanfu Town is the Tatar territory, which is directly related to the security of Kyoto. It is the second largest town among the nine towns. Your brother entered the military camp at the age of eight and was 15 years old. He passed the martial arts examination and was ranked among the best, but he didn't want to stay in Beijing as an official, so he went to your father's service and served as a deputy general.

Your father and brother have made many military exploits. Mr. Cheng was initially demoted three ranks to a sixth-rank general. He was promoted several times over the years and is now a full-rank third-rank general.Mr. Cheng is the best at setting up formations. After the previous dynasty banned crossbows, sophisticated copper crossbows and other weapons were almost lost. Our dynasty made some restorations, but they couldn't find the essentials.The bow cannot reach a hundred steps, and the crossbow can only reach fifty steps.

But as firearms became more and more popular in my dynasty, bird muskets had the longest range, reaching 180 steps, and three-eyed muskets also had a range of [-] steps.It's a pity that there are not many firearms in the army, so they cannot all be equipped.Mr. Cheng combined several types of weapons, both long and short, and your brother Cheng Hanbai even combined swords and firearms. During a surprise attack, the close range lethality was extremely high.The Tatars are afraid of facing off against your brother.

As for the Cheng Mansion in the middle of Beijing, they are all female relatives, including your grandmother and aunt, and your aunt seems to have a girl.I don't know much about other situations in the mansion. "

Xie San still really wants to send Haitang to Xuanfu Town. If there is no man in Cheng Mansion, it will be difficult for him to go in and find Haitang in the future!
Haitang smiled with tears in her eyes and expressed her blessing to Xie Sanfu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for comforting Haitang. Haitang understands everything. Haitang has never left Linyue Lake since she was a child. When she returns to Beijing this time, she has to ask Your Majesty to take care of her."

Hearing Haitang's words, Xie San and Gu Quan were greatly relieved.

The smoke and dust of the past are blown by the wind, and the tall buildings are no longer leaning against each other.At that time, there was a lot of trouble in the palace, and the spring breeze was full of beauty!
