Wanli 1592

Chapter 287

Shi Xing naturally understood Zhao Zhigao's words.

"Who says it's not! But there's nothing the officials can do about it. This is a decision made by the Chief Assistant and His Majesty. Many people in our company agree with it. They think that it is necessary to use talents, and the current treasury is much more abundant, so someone proposed To completely solve the Dongwu Kingdom, the best candidate is Xiao Ruxun, thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find, it is rare to have such a famous general, if not used, it would be a pity."

Zhao Zhigao snorted, and said, "It's all an excuse. There is no excuse for the so-called crime. I don't believe that Chen Yongbin can't last a month. What is 30, at most 30 or 20? Where is the small country in southern Xinjiang going?" Get an army of 30? The Japanese country is so arrogant that it can only send 30 troops, and he can send [-] for a small country? If he can send [-], wouldn't the entire southern border of Ming Dynasty be shaken? Absurd! Who can't see it? It's you I can't tolerate Xiao Jixin! I don't want him to become bigger."

"George, this kind of matter is not for you and me to decide, it's all His Majesty... This is what the big guy wants, and the lower officials have to agree, don't you also agree?"

Zhao Zhigao quickly waved his hand: "Wang Xijue didn't discuss this matter with the old man at all, he just assumed that the cabinet does not have the old man's second assistant! If the old man knew in advance, he would definitely write a letter to His Majesty to refute! Those who have made great achievements will come back from a long distance, it is not generous Reward, but sent him out in a hurry, and everyone in the world is a fool?"

Shi Xing accompanied the smiling face, helpless.

"Hey! This is the way of the world! I don't know what's going on, why did people's hearts become like this?"

Zhao Zhigao spoke slowly, walked slowly, and disappeared after a while, Shi Xing was speechless, shook his head, and disappeared after a while.

Xiao Ruxun couldn't hold back the longing in his heart at this moment, and rushed home all the way, it was already late at night when he arrived at the house, when he arrived at the door, the soldiers around him were going to call the door, Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand to stop it.

Xiao Ruxun finally understands what it means to be close to home and feel timid. Although he is not going back to his hometown, the feeling is still the same. When he is near the door of his house, Xiao Ruxun doesn't know how his father and wife are. Is it okay, Xiao Ruxun doesn't know if he is sick, injured, uncomfortable or unhappy.

His wife was not around for ten months of pregnancy, and he came back when she was about to give birth. As a husband, he was negligent, but as a general of the country, Xiao Ruxun felt that he was duty-bound. Maybe only he could feel the feeling. The dilemma of loyalty and filial piety The feeling is also felt.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ruxun asked his soldiers to knock on the door of the house, and the door opened unexpectedly quickly. As soon as the door was opened, an old man held a lantern and stuck out his head. Looking outside, he was stunned.

"Fourth Lord? Are you back?"

"Uncle Zhao, I'm back."

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath, and said slowly, the old servant who came to open the door, the four sons of the Xiao family called him Uncle Zhao, back then, Uncle Zhao was also an old soldier beside Xiao Wenkui, he followed Xiao Wenkui to the battlefield, and later When he was old, he became the housekeeper of Xiao's family. He was loyal and loyal. Xiao Wenkui went to work in the capital, and Uncle Zhao followed him, and took care of Xiao Wenkui's home in the capital.

"Master thought you wouldn't be able to come back until tomorrow. It's great that you're back tonight. Fourth Master, Uncle Second Master and Third Master are also here, and they're all waiting for you at home!"

This time it was Xiao Ruxun who was stunned.

"Big brother, second brother and third brother are here too?"

"Isn't it? The emperor's kindness is mighty! Knowing that you have won a big victory and want to return to the capital triumphantly, so I asked the second and third masters to come to the capital on leave. Our family was reunited. The second master arrived yesterday evening, but it was too late I didn't catch up with the opening of the city gate. I came early this morning. The third master was a long time late and arrived in the afternoon. In addition, your father-in-law left late and encountered something on the road. It was late, but I guess it will be late. Three days have arrived, and this time, we are truly a family reunion!"

As Uncle Zhao said, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile, Xiao Ruxun was also particularly emotional, the worry had just risen in his heart, but disappeared without a trace.

I am Xiao Ruxun, I am not someone else.

He handed the horse over to the soldiers, got off the horse and climbed the steps, and asked, "Father, are they asleep?"

"Not yet, I was talking in the dining hall, because I was worried that you might come back at night, so I asked the old man to wait here, but you did come back. These days, the master is having a hard time, and the fourth lady is also having a hard time. Now, fourth master, come in, come in and talk."

"Difficult? Why is it difficult? Where is the difficulty for father and Caiyun?"

Xiao Ruxun's heart was lifted.

"You are not in the mansion. The master is still in charge of the big and small matters in this mansion. Others are fine, but the matter of the fourth wife's childbirth is a pain for the master. He makes supplements and delicious food for the fourth wife everywhere. Madam is pregnant and still vomits all the time. She can't eat a lot of food. The old man feels distressed when he sees it. When he vomits the most, he vomits whatever he eats. The master was so anxious that he tied up the doctor overnight to see a doctor. Oh, Bitter!"

What Uncle Zhao said was all about Caiyun's confinement, which made Xiao Ruxun feel a deep sense of guilt. He couldn't accompany his beloved wife to conceive when he was out fighting, but he made his old father busy, it really shouldn't be!
"It's all my fault. I've made my father suffer, and I'm sorry Caiyun."

Xiao Ruxun was rather depressed, and when he thought of the imperial edict, he became even more depressed.

"You can't say that, our general family is to fight for the country and win the war. How annoying are the Japanese pirates. You have never seen the appearance of the southeast decades ago. Every family is raising white sails! How miserable! Ah! You have killed 20 Japanese pirates this time, which is tantamount to avenging the people in the southeast, so that the Japanese pirates will never dare to attack my Ming Dynasty again. What a feat! When it spreads to the southeastern land, everyone there I have to build a shrine for you, if it weren't for you, this southeast would be in chaos!
Fourth master, family matters are important, but the most important thing for a man's family is to gallop the battlefield and fight for the country. These days when you are no longer, the fourth wife has worked hard, but the old man can see that she has never blamed you, every day They are all praying for God's blessing, the fourth lady is educated, everyone is a lady, and understands righteousness, you, you can't treat the fourth lady as an ordinary little girl. "

Xiao Ruxun smiled: "Uncle Zhao, what you said made me feel much better. These days, I miss my family every day. This time the whole family reunited, it was several years ago. This time, it's not too late. I know when we can meet again!"

"Oh, don't say that, you won't have a good rest when you come back? The imperial court approved three months' leave for the uncle, the second master and the third master. We have plenty of time to reunite!"

Xiao Ruxun let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "But I don't have time, at most one and a half months, I'm going to lead troops to the Dongwu Kingdom."

"what?"

Uncle Zhao stopped in his tracks, his face full of astonishment.
