Yi Song

Chapter 215 Wang Family Father and Son

September 15th, the first year of Chonghe.

Wang Xun rushed to Bianjing City in a hurry.

After washing up in the post house, we first went to Zhongshu Province and entered the Memorial Hall, where we put in the victory memorial formally presented by Shaanxi Hedong Xuanfu Envoy Liu Guozhang, Shaanxi Xuanwei Observer Envoy Tan Zhen, and Shaanxi Road Transport Envoy Zhang Cui. .

Then go to the Privy Council to sign in and throw in a military intelligence briefing as usual.

Then he went to the front office of the palace, signed in first, and then called on the palace commander Gao Taiwei to present a Shaanxi "local specialty" to Liu Jieshuai.

Captain Gao was very satisfied and took Wang Xun to recall a few stories about his prosperous years in the northwest.

Then go to Liu's Mansion in Xuanhuafang and drop in the letters and gifts that Commander Jie will bring.

Old Ding from the Central Management Institute was an acquaintance. He took the small cloth bag from Wang Xun and couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

"Flowers, the flowers in Huanzhou, Shaanxi, are called chicken tails by the locals. Commander Jie said they were iris flowers. They were purple and very beautiful. He specially asked the agricultural craftsmen accompanying the army to carefully bring back some flower seeds. Plant them in the garden. The Palace Master will definitely like it.”

Lao Ding squinted his eyes and said, "Mr. Lang is really thoughtful."

"Haha, no need to thank me. I, Old Ding, have also been in that shit pool in the northwest. I know that the food there is not delicious and the gong there is not easy to obtain. It is not easy for your father."

"Thank you, Uncle Ding."

"Yes, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences and the Institute of Engineering are all a group of talented people. Well, from what you said, Lang Jun also brought people from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to the northwest. He went to fight, so why did he take those people there? ah?"

"What are you doing, Mr. Lang?"

"I know that those civil servants only have their mouths. In this world, it is difficult to do practical things. Wang Dalang, when you go back, comfort your father. After Tong Guan died, his life was not easy. Those The civil servants bit him like crazy."

In the past, his father, Wang Zhen, was Tong Guan's confidant. When Tong Guan first entered Shaanxi, he selected a group of officers from the Imperial Forbidden Army to lead him there.

It’s so deserted that even wild dogs don’t want to stay any longer.

Wang Xun, who got off his horse, threw the reins to his attendants and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Lang Jun still managed to keep these two bowls of water in balance." Lao Ding sighed, "Is this flower easy to grow?"

He looked left and right, stretched his neck, and asked softly: "Over there in the southeast, didn't you send anything?"

The door of the mansion is closed.

This alley is bustling with traffic day and night, and there is an endless stream of people coming to visit.

Tong Guan collapsed, and his father was also implicated. The remonstrators, who suddenly became brave, focused all their firepower on their father.

Lao Ding continued to persuade: "It's okay. Lang Jun knows that your father is a practical person, so he will definitely protect him. He also asked for a favor from Captain Gao. With them secretly supporting him, those cannibals will not be able to do anything. A mad dog with human excrement can’t do anything to Dr. Wang.”

Wang Xun quickly lowered his voice and replied: "A good horse in Hequ, fiery red. It is said that it is the remnant of the bloody horse recovered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the West Sea of ​​Hequ. I don't know whether it is true or not, but it is indeed handsome. I will give it to you. When we arrived outside the city, Jieshunshe picked it up and sent it directly to Yangzhou on a special ship."

His own father stood out and became Tong Guan's confidant. The Shengjie Army was founded by his father, who became the first commander. Later he was transferred back to Bianjing and became Tong Guan's spokesperson in the court.

"Wheat is cultivated, and alfalfa is used to raise horses. Commander Jie said that to conquer Hexi, we must dig deep into the local potential of Shaanxi. But it is good for us to know this ourselves. When the civil servants hear this, they will realize that the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes. .”

Wang Xun left Liu Mansion and went straight to his own house. As soon as I arrived at the alley, I felt something different.

"Just ask the people from the Institute of Agricultural Sciences to come over. They have talented people who are good at growing flowers and grass."

Wang Xun remained silent.

"Of course it will work. According to the instructions of Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Caoshuai and Mr. Murong will set up Northwest Agricultural Science Institute A and Institute B in Jingzhao Prefecture and Weizhou respectively to screen and cultivate wheat, alfalfa and other improved varieties."

After knocking for more than a dozen times, someone finally shouted from inside: "My husband thanks the guests behind closed doors. Please forgive me."

"Uncle Chi, it's me, Da Lang."

The door creaked open, revealing the surprised face of an old man.

"Big brother is back, big brother is back."

When we arrived at the front hall, the whole family was there. My father and mother, my two aunts and my younger brothers and sisters stood in the hall with surprise and joy. "My child pays homage to his father and mother."

Wang Xun stepped forward and bowed first.

"It's good to be back." Wang Xun stroked his beard and nodded, replying happily.

The Queen Mother came forward and took Wang Xun's hand. She looked left and right, but she couldn't get enough.

"My son, you are not injured."

"No, I'm fine."

"On the border of Shaanxi, we fight with the Hexi family every day. We have no eyesight with swords and guns."

Wang Zhen interrupted his wife, "My eldest brother is now a member of the Western Army, and it is his duty to go to the battlefield. Okay, let the child sit down and drink some water."

Everyone sat down, and the second brother couldn't help but speak.

"Brother, the White Army really has won the battle."

Wang Zhen's main wife only has one son, Wang Xun, and one daughter. The eldest daughter got married long ago and is not in Bianjing. The remaining two sons and one daughter were all born to concubines, and their ages were far different from Wang Xun's.

The second child is only twelve or thirteen years old, more than ten years older than Wang Xun.

"It's a victory. I was on the front line at the time. I was at Xiaoguan recently. I could see the mouth of Shangyuan through the telescope."

"Brother, you didn't go to the front line?"

"I was in the staff officer corps at the time. I was just observing and did not participate in actual combat."

The second brother was very disappointed.

Wang Zhen asked calmly: "How many people are there in your staff officer corps?"

"At first, there were only about 60 people, all brought by Commander Jie from Bianjing. Later, there were more than 300 people."

"so much?"

"Yes, it was us at first, as well as Han Shizhong, Wu Jie brothers and other Western Army mid-term examination talents. Later, the flag-bearing team added fifty or sixty people, and the Shengjie Army's Kongtong Mountain Study Class added thirty or forty people.

Later, the Commander-in-Chief inspected the Suide Army and selected ten outstanding generals and generals from the army to supplement them.

When I was ordered to come to Beijing, there were more than 300 people in the staff officer corps. "

Wang Xun stroked his beard and said, "Liu Erlang is very calculating."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Mr. Lang, what do you mean by this?"

"If I'm not wrong about this staff officer corps, Liu Erlang will be with him on weekdays. He will be kind to you and give you careful guidance. It will be used to control the Western Army in the future."

"Ah, take control of the Western Army? Even Tong Taiwei dare not say this easily. How dare Liu Jiezhi say this?" Queen Mother asked in shock.

"Tong Taiwei is a eunuch. He first flatters the superiors and then seeks the subordinates, so he becomes arrogant. Liu Erlang is different. He needs to seek the subordinates first before he can flatter the superiors. Anyway, the two of them are based on different backgrounds, so their methods are also different."

Wang Xun suddenly said: "Tong Guan only seeks to benefit one person day and night, but Commander Ji seeks to benefit a country for a long time."

Wang Zhen glanced at him and said nothing.

After a few more pleasantries about the family, Wang Zhen said to his wife: "You take the second brother and the others down, and I will take the eldest brother to the study if I have something to say."

Entering the study, before Wang Zhen could speak, Wang Xun took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

"Dad, this is a personal letter from Commander Jie to you."
