Wanli 1592

Chapter 279 Twins

The five top nobles have really risen to the top, and they have no desire to pursue them. If they pursue them again, they will be no different from rebellion. Although the civil servants respect them on the surface and give them some benefits, but in the power category They are extremely vigilant, for fear that they will learn from their ancestors and make a comeback again, and the civil servants will be miserable.

Those five families also knew clearly that their titles were at their peak, their official positions were almost at their peak, and it was unlikely that the members of the family would go out to join the army, so they simply let themselves be free and lived happily, no matter the country was in dire straits, as long as they were comfortable.

Such thoughts generally exist in the Jingshi Wuxun Group.

This is exactly what the civil servants expect to see, and the last thing they expect to see is someone like Xiao Ruxun. Although such a person is indispensable, after the war is over, he must be suppressed so that his The prestige is limited, if Xiao Ruxun hadn't made too much money this time, it would be hard to say that they would take advantage of others' short hands and eat other people's short mouths. Earn military merit.

To put it bluntly, it is the kindness of these civil servants not to let Xiao Ruxun stay in the capital. It is the kindness of these civil servants to give you another chance to make military achievements. It is up to you whether you can grasp it. If you can grasp it, we will not treat you badly. After that, it all depends on your own awareness.

With this in mind, the civil servants agreed to Wang Xijue's proposal, and asked Xiao Ruxun to clean up the Dongwu Kingdom that was as annoying as brown sugar to death, so that the southern border of Ming Dynasty could restore stability, and then put swords and guns in Kuma. Nanshan, let Xiao Ruxun "retire with honor", and release it for use when there is a need. If there is no need, hold him in the capital to prevent him from jumping.

But right now when the military officers are angry, not to mention that Xiao Ruxun got the money, even if he didn't, the civil servants can't just suppress Xiao Ruxun like this. He has been suppressed for so long, and it is indeed time for him to be released. If he is not released , Just suppress people like this, if they get upset, they might not be able to do anything, after all, rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and it is not very clear what people will do when they are in a hurry.

So the civil servants turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

"There are so many gifts, and each box is worth a lot of money. There are also some very precious antique jade objects, and some calligraphy and paintings. My lord, if you add up all these things, the price may not be less than one million taels!"

Xiao Wenkui's favored concubine has the ability to count and often helps Xiao Wenkui settle accounts, and is deeply loved by Xiao Wenkui. Hearing such a price, even Xiao Wenkui, who is well versed in the situation of empty wages in the Beijing camp, can't help but sigh.

"Everyone said where did the tax go, isn't that the case? My son has worked so hard to get so much money from the Wa country, how much of it can be really used for state affairs? Thinking about it this way, the old man was once one of them." , but now, I regret why I came to Beijing camp."

Xiao Wenkui sighed deeply about some of his past actions, regretting them quite a bit.

The concubine hurriedly comforted him and said: "Now that Sanlang has made outstanding military achievements, the master doesn't have to think so. As long as Sanlang continues to make great military achievements, even if we accept these gifts, the court will not be able to say a word."

Xiao Wenkui sighed and said, "That's what you said, but... well, Shiro will be back tomorrow, what about Dalang Erlang and Saburo? Haven't they arrived yet?"

The concubine hurriedly said: "Dalang and Erlang will arrive at the capital tomorrow morning, Sanlang has been delayed for a day or two on the road, and there will be another day or two before arriving. I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the triumphant ceremony."

"Hey! This kid is so frizzy. I have four sons from the Xiao family, and all four sons are officers in the army. Only Ru Xun is the smartest. He has been smart since he was a child, and he has lived up to the old man's respect for him." I have obtained a scholarly daughter as my wife, and I have achieved quite a lot in these years, which makes the old man very relieved. I have guarded the northwest for several generations, and I have never had a son of a nobleman. I don't want to be named Marquis again, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!"

The concubine smiled and said, "Of course it's a blessing, a great blessing."

Xiao Wenkui smiled and shook his head: "Fortune is where misfortune rests, and misfortune is where blessings lie. It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse. I was granted the title of uncle just now, and now I'm a marquis. At the age of 23, even With Feng Bo Fenghou, after defeating Ningxia and the Wo Kingdom, and now that the Wo Kingdom is over, they will go to the Dongwu Kingdom again, this imperial court is not without generals, so why does it involve my Ruxun and not let go?"

Xiao Wenkui loves his son very much, and he hasn't seen him for more than half a year after separation. Seeing that the family will be reunited, the youngest son will go to Dongwu Kingdom again. "It goes without saying how difficult this is. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, many countries have been destroyed, but in recent years, no general has made the contribution to destroy the country. If the credit is really great, it will be hard to say ah……

The flying birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking. Xiao Wenkui is worried that his youngest son does not have Li Chengliang's scheming, and does not understand the principle of raising the bandits. When there are no enemies in the world, it is also the time for civil officials to attack famous generals.

Xiao Wenkui must tell Xiao Ruxun this truth.

But let's not talk about it now, there is a big happy event right now, the daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I don't know if I can give birth to a big fat boy to continue the Xiao family's heirs, what he is most unhappy about is the eldest son, the second son and the third son Both got married earlier than the youngest son, but so far they have nothing to show for it. I don’t know if it’s because they are too busy with work, but the youngest son is a daughter-in-law who is capable of giving birth, so I point her to give birth to a big fat boy to continue the Xiao family’s heirs.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenkui's mood improved again. Seeing that it was getting late, he planned to go to see how his daughter-in-law was doing, and chat with Mrs. Wen and the doctor to see if there were any other precautions, so as to prepare early.

Before this step was taken, the two doctors came hand in hand, making Boss Xiao Wenkui suspicious.

"Doctor Zhang, Doctor Wang? Didn't you go back? Why are you here so late?"

The two doctors seemed to be hesitant, you look at me and I look at you, but Doctor Wang stood up and said: "Master Xiao, in fact, the two of us had doubts a month ago, but I can't be sure. I have a lot of experience, but I'm not sure, seeing that Mrs. Yang is about to give birth, I feel that no matter what, I need to make some preparations."

Xiao Wenkui asked suspiciously: "What preparation? Tell me."

"I suspect that Mrs. Yang is pregnant with twins."

"what?!"

Xiao Wenkui turned pale with shock.
