Chapter 412 Snow in the Second Year of Jian'an (End)

Huang Yueying's matter seems to have come to fruition!
Regardless of whether Dong Bi respected Huang Yueying's talent and learning in the eyes of outsiders, or it was based on Huang Yueying's affection for him, the two finally came together, although they had no status, but it was a matter of time.

But Dong Bi knew that the matter was not over yet...

He was in a big trouble, a big trouble that might end him badly.That is, while accepting Huang Yueying, it was also inevitable that Mr. Kong Ming, who was passed down as a monster by later generations, was pushed to the opposite side.

For another person, Dong Bi would definitely order Jia Xu without hesitation to kill Zhuge Liang at any cost.

But the problem is that this person is Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin's brother.Dong Bi had to seriously consider the consequences.

Zhuge Jin has now returned to Chang'an, and has been appointed as the prefect of Fufeng, supporting Guanneihou.

Dong Bi also didn't know how deep the brotherhood between Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang was?However, Zhuge Jin seldom mentioned Zhuge Liang in front of Dong Bi, at least she never took the initiative to mention Zhuge Liang's name to Dong Bi.More often, Zhuge Jin would talk about his third younger brother Zhuge Jun, and it seemed that he had a closer relationship with Zhuge Jun.

But Dong Bi will never think that Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Liang have a bad relationship because of this.

If the two brothers are really as indifferent as they appear on the surface, Zhuge Cang who returned to Zhuge's family back then, that is, Zhou Cang who carried the knife to Guan Gong in the novel, should have followed Zhuge Jin and joined Dong Bi's command .

But Zhou Cang didn't come!

In other words, Zhou Cang was left in Nanyang.

According to Pang Tong's recollection, sometimes Zhuge Liang would be accompanied by a black and strong man, who should be Zhuge Cang.

Therefore, many truths cannot be seen with the eyes.

Dong Bi also knew that for the aristocratic clan, the most commonly used method was to disperse the nets and focus on fishing.They would never put all their eggs in one basket, just like the Xun family in Yingchuan, didn't Xun Chen also play for Yuan Shao?

Home country world!

This is a basic concept of the clan.

There is a family first, then a country, and finally the world.Presumably Zhuge Jin, who was born in an aristocratic family, also thought this way.

Unknowingly, Dong Bi is also changing.

Yu Zhugejin's unreserved trust back then has now begun to show a trace of precaution... In contrast, Dong Bi is more willing to trust Xu Shushitao, a humble scholar with no background.Because he knows very well that without him, Xu Shu, Shitao and the others are nothing but rootless floating weeds.Therefore, they can only follow their own footsteps.

Perhaps, such a change is also a kind of integration with the times.

After hesitating for a long time, Dong Bi finally gave up the idea of ​​killing Zhuge Liang.

There are still a lot of things in hand, although sometimes when I think of Zhuge Liang, I still feel a little fear, but compared to that year, this fear and awe have become very weak.Think about it, isn't even Guo Jia dead?
******
After winter, Dong Bi became very busy.

Due to last year's snowstorm, it is necessary to take precautions this year.On the basis of the original, Dong Bi bought another 300 million shi of grain from the Zhen family to prevent another disaster this winter, so that he can be prepared at that time.

In addition, there are many tedious things...

Now that Huang Yueying's wishes come true, she doesn't worry anymore, she just stays at home and keeps perfecting her engraving printing machine.

And Pang Tong was appointed by Dong Bi as the governor of the Metropolitan Government, responsible for handling various affairs, and gradually integrated into Dong Bi's core class.Huang Xu also served as Dong Biao's personal assistant, and began to deal with some daily chores independently... The younger generation is constantly growing up, and Dong Biao has gradually distributed the power in his hands to individuals.

At the end of October, Chang'an had its first snow since the beginning of winter.

The snow was very heavy, and it looked like the snowstorm last year.Goose-feather-like snowflakes fluttered down one after another.

Overnight, eight hundred miles of Qinchuan were covered in silver.

From the moment it snowed, the whole of Chang'an was on alert.Seeing that the snow was getting heavier, the city gate army took the lead, patrolling the streets and inspecting the condition of the houses.Especially in Chang'an West City, the number of inspections is very frequent.Without him, this west city has always been a slum in Chang'an, most of the houses are not safe, and many people died last year.

Although after the beginning of spring, most of the houses in Chang'an West City have been refurbished.

But after all, there are lessons learned from the past, and Dong Bi dare not take it lightly.Even, when Xue was the biggest, he took his two youngest sons and led the trolls out to patrol the west city in person to prevent the accident from happening again.

For this, the people of Chang'an are grateful!

The snow fell from noon to the afternoon, and gradually became smaller.In the evening, the heavy snow finally stopped.

Dong Bi let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the mansion with his entourage.But as soon as he turned the Yinma River, he saw Yangqin hurrying towards him.

"Master Yang, you are..."

Yang Qin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and then said softly: "Great Governor, this time... I'm here to find the Great Governor."

"Looking for me? What's the matter with me?"

To be honest, Dong Bi has a bad impression of Yang Jin's father.Of course, Yang Xu also seldom has a good face towards Dong Pi.After all, they are people belonging to two fronts, and there are great differences between them.But aside from these words, there is not much conflict between Dong Bi and Yang Xu.There is even some admiration, and Yang Xu has always been very kind to Cai Yan.

As for Yang Jin, Dong Bi had a very good impression of him.

Hearing that Yang Qi came here specially to find him, Dong Bi couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Yang Qin seemed to be a little forgiving, and said softly: "Actually, it is my father who wants to find the governor, and ordered him to come and invite him."

Since the beginning of winter, Yang Xu has fallen ill!

I don't know what the reason is, anyway, the condition is very serious, and I haven't been to court for a long time.

Dong Chuan is also aware of this matter.It's just that he couldn't figure out what it meant that Yang Xu took the initiative to come to him this time.
However, no matter what, it was a senior.

Although there is a big difference between the two, Yang Xu still takes good care of Cai Yan and Dong Pi's children.Just for this point, Dong Bi couldn't refuse.What's more, Yang Xu is of the same generation as Cai Yong, so he also needs to be respected.

"Oh, since the Grand Tutor invites you, how dare you refuse? It just so happens that the matter on my side is over, so let's go with Master Yang to visit the old Grand Tutor."

Said, Dong Bi and Yang Qi walked side by side.

Chunyu guided Wu Yan and the two of them to follow behind Dong Bi. Dong Shuo and Dong You also got off their horses and followed Dong Pi to Taifu's residence.

Along the way, there was not much to say.

Yang Qin seems to have something on his mind, but Dong Bi is guessing, what is it that Yang continues to look for him?
"Master Yang, is the old master feeling better?"

Yang Fen's complexion was not very good, and she shook her head slightly, "Not very well... Actually, my father's illness is not in his body, but here!"

Pointing to his chest, Dong Bi understood what Yang Qi meant.

Without asking any more questions, a group of people walked along the spacious street, and soon came to the door of Yang's house.

Chunyu Dao and Wu Yan waited outside the gate with the troll warriors.And Dong Bi took Dong Shuo and Dong You into the Tai Tuo's mansion together with Yang Qin.The door was not closed, until Dong Bi's figure disappeared behind the corner door, the door was always open.It seems to be showing the situation to Dong Bi: I invite you to my house without any malice.

And Dong Chuan didn't care about it.

In Chang'an City, every move of officials big and small is under Jia Xu's control, and nothing will go wrong.

Walking into the backyard, Yang Qi led Dong Bi to the door of the bedroom.

Yang Xu's old wife came out, said a blessing to Dong Pi, and said softly: "The master has ordered that the governor is here, please go in yourself. My son, you wait at the door. Your father has something to say to him." The governor will talk to you alone."

"Governor, please!"

Dong Bi didn't doubt it either, and nodded with a smile.

"You two are playing in the yard, don't make any noise, understand?"

"understand!"

Dong Shuo and Dong You didn't go in, but the old lady asked someone to carry a brazier under the eaves and let them sit at the door.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room.

An imperial doctor was nursing beside him, and Yang Xu was lying on the bed with a sallow complexion and looked listless.

"The governor is here, please forgive the old man for being ill and unable to...cough cough cough..."

A severe cough prevented Yang Xu from uttering the following words.Dong Bi hurried over and helped Yang Xu to lie down.

"Old master, lie down quickly, if you have something to say, just say that!"

As he spoke, he looked up at the imperial physician.The imperial physician is Ma Zhen's subordinate, and he also recognizes Dong Bi.He understood Dong Bi's meaning, and shook his head lightly, which meant: the governor, the old lady's illness, I'm afraid there is no hope!
Is it so serious?

Dong Bi knew that Yang Xu's illness was very serious, but he did not expect that Yang Xu's illness would be so serious.

The look in Yangxu's eyes has also softened a lot.With a critically ill person, there seems to be no need to care about it.

Wait...

Dong Bi's heart suddenly skipped a beat!

Critically ill?In Romance, it seems that Sima Yi has also played this trick?Could Yangxu be... He looked at the imperial physician, feeling confused.Quietly looking at Yang Xu, trying to find out what kind of medicine is in the old gentleman's throat?

Yang Xu waved his hand to signal the imperial physician to go out.

Holding Dong Bi's arm, the old man didn't speak, but just stared into Dong Bi's eyes.

He suddenly smiled, "Is the governor afraid of the old man's conspiracy?"

It is said that people are old and cunning!
Those decades of experience are not comparable to Dong Bi.Even if Dong Bi tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it from Yang Xu's eyes.

Dong Bi was silent for a while, "Old Madam Fu, if you have anything to say, please just say it!"

"Hehe, this person has been changing... When you and I were hostile, I never thought that one day you and I would work together. To be honest, although I agreed to the King of the Western Han Dynasty in Chang'an, the old man has always been on the sidelines... ...In a flash, it has been almost ten years, and the events of that year are still vivid in my mind!"

Yang Xu felt emotional for a while, and Dong Bi couldn't help but sigh a lot.

What does this old man mean?
"Today, the old man invited the governor to come here, because I have something to ask!"

"It's okay, old lady Fu!"

"I don't know whether I should say these words or not. In fact, this old man also understands that the governor has already made arrangements..."

Dong Bi felt that Monk Zhanger was a little confused.

He didn't speak at the moment, just watched Yangxu quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"As far as I am concerned, saying these words is actually against my principles. But I also know that the future world may be the world of the great governor... Although the king of the Western Han Dynasty has experienced many trials, he is still too young It’s a little bit... the governor, before I leave, I just want to ask the governor for one thing. If there is a day... I mean, if there is such a day... I also ask the governor to look at the love that we shared in the troubles back then Come on, leave a bloodline for the Han Dynasty."

Dong Bi frowned, and looked at the old man's gaze, which was a little different!

What is this?Tuo Gu?
But it doesn't seem to be so lonely... Me and Bian... Did he mean that Bian and I will turn against each other one day?
"Old Madam Fu, where did you start talking about this? You may be reckless sometimes, but you never..."

Yang Xu stretched out his hand and interrupted Dong Bi's words: "Great Governor, there are some things that no one can say clearly. Talking too early may not be a good thing. The king of the Western Han Dynasty is growing up, and you, the Great Governor, are constantly changing. Why do you have to jump to conclusions about future events? This old man is just saying that it is possible, and I hope that you... can agree."

This is very interesting to say.

Dong Bi's eyes narrowed into a line, and he rubbed his cheek gently.

"Old Madam Fu, although I don't know what you mean by this, I promise that I will never hurt the King of the Western Han Dynasty!"

As if the burden in his heart had been unloaded, Yang Xu's eyes showed joy.

"I believe what the governor said!"

There was another severe cough, and Dong Bi helped Yangxu up, rubbing his back on his back.

After a while, Yang Xu slowed down and said softly: "The second thing, this old man wants to ask the governor to let the child go to the Western Regions."

"what?"

"How could I not know my son's thoughts? If it weren't for me, I'm afraid that the governor would definitely use him, right?"

Dong Bi hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

That's right, if it wasn't for Yangxu's relationship, Dong Bi would definitely reuse Yangjin.

Because Yang Qin's talent is there, when they were in Shuofang, Xu Huang and Pang Chuan appreciated Yang Qin's ability very much.

Yang continued to smile, his skinny cheeks showed a soft color.

"Thank you for being able to tell me bluntly... Hehe, actually, I didn't ask my son to be a high-ranking official. Although the Western Regions were brought down by the governor, the old man also participated in it, but he never really came out. Li... I hope that Xiaoer can be there, starting from a small official, benefiting the Western Regions, and it can be regarded as a solution to my heart."

Dong Bi heard this, but couldn't help hesitating.

The Western Regions are the foundation of Dong Bi.What Yang Xu said, is he trying to make the Yang family submit to the Dong family?
You know, there are Li Ru, Xu Rong and Huaxiong in the Western Regions, and it is not easy to make trouble there.

After pondering for a while, Dong Bi nodded and said: "Since the old lady Fu has such a request, how can you refuse the old lady Fu's kindness?"

The smile on Yang Xu's face seemed even brighter.

"So, the old man's worries are finally resolved!"

"Old Madam..."

Yang Xu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.Behind that smile, there seemed to be a kind of bitterness and helplessness hidden.What was the reason for him to make such a decision?Dong Bi didn't understand... But Dong Bi guessed that his illness was probably closely related to his decision.The mind of the old man, sometimes it is really hard to understand.

After sitting for a while, Dong Bi got up and said goodbye.

Yang Xu didn't say anything, just nodded to him.

Yang Qin sent Dong Bi and his son out of the gate of Yang Mansion, then gave a deep salute, turned and walked into the mansion.

This father and son is really interesting!Dong Bi got on his horse, looked at the slowly closing gate of the Yang Mansion, and basked in the sun.

A gust of wind passed by, and the wind lantern hanging in front of the mansion flickered for a moment, then went out!
******
With his two sons, surrounded by trolls, Dong Bi and his party returned to the Metropolitan Government's Mansion.

From a distance, one can see a black Xiji horse tied to the horse post outside the gate of the mansion, which is particularly handsome in the snow.

Dong Bi got off his horse, and his family came to welcome him.

"Whose horse is it?"

"Master Qi, in the evening, someone from the Western Regions came... It seems that there is something urgent, and they are waiting in the hall!"

Someone from the Western Regions?

Dong Bi felt very strange, at this time the Western Regions sent people over, what's the matter?

It should be said that the Western Regions have been calm recently.With the destruction of Kangju and the occupation of Anxi, nothing major happened in the Western Regions.

Jamu was ostensibly exiled to the Western Regions.

But in fact, as the newly established prefect of Xiling County, he went to Kangju to take up his post.

Of course, not many people know about the establishment of Xiling County.While dispatching Jia Mu, Dong Bi accepted Chen Gong's suggestion and secretly ordered Gan Ben and Zhang Ren to lead the trained Trouble-Free Mountain Army to Wudu.

Other than that, there seems to be nothing wrong...

Dong Bi strode into the gate of the mansion, and soon came to the meeting hall.

Sitting in the hall was a young man, covered in dust, looking very tired.Dong Bi recognized this person. He was Xu Rong's son. Xu Zhe (zhe), named Fangzheng, was 24 years old and graduated from the county school two years ago. Guy... at least that's what Li Ru said in his letter.

"Fangzheng, why are you here? What happened to the Western Regions?"

When Xu Zhe saw Dong Bi, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but was stopped by Dong Bi, "They are all from my own family, so don't be too polite."

"Great Governor, the young general Feng Linxiang Tinghou ordered, come to deliver the letter!"

"speak!"

"Marquis Lin Xiangting asks the governor to return to Han'an City as soon as possible... old lady, old lady is critically ill!"

Dong Bi didn't react at first, and subconsciously said: "Who? Who do you think is critically ill?"

"It's the old lady, the old lady is critically ill!"

Opening his mouth wide, Dong Bi stayed where he was.The whole person seemed to have become numb, looking at Xu Zhe foolishly.

"Great Governor, Great Governor..."

"My grandma, why is my grandma dying? Didn't she write in the middle of the year saying that she is in good health?"

Dong Yu's head was completely messed up.

He was at a loss and screamed loudly.If it wasn't for Cai Yan and others who heard the news, Xu Zhe would have been strangled to death by him.

"In the middle of the old lady's life, her body was still very good. But after autumn, her body became... a month ago, there was heavy snow in the Western Regions. The old lady suddenly fell ill. Although she was treated by a miracle doctor,... the old lady I want to see the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Come on, come on..."

Dong Bi yelled as if he lost his soul, "Prepare the horse immediately, prepare the horse for me immediately, I'm going to the Western Regions, and I want to go back to the Western Regions to see grandma immediately!"

Set off immediately, there is only one change today!

Since I set off without a computer, I will not update it tomorrow. Please forgive me for one day off.
