Then there is no more

The local people gradually knew that Shen Deyuan, Shen Si and his son were going back to the capital to become officials.Most of them are illiterate, and they don't know how high an official the official minister is. The biggest official the local people can see in their lifetime is the county magistrate.There was an old man who was old enough to be Shen Deyuan's father. While stroking his grandson's head, he said to Shen Deyuan: "Mr. Shen is as good as County Magistrate Yao, he must be a good official! Mr. Shen is going to be safe!"

Shen Deyuan nodded, and said humbly: "Brother Yao is a role model, I will definitely learn from him."

The local people are very grateful to the Shen family and his son.

Although Shen Deyuan and Shen Si are just gentlemen in the dormitory, what they have done for the local people far exceeds what a gentleman should do.In fact, they taught the people common sense as well as knowledge.Because of the local climate and cultural conditions, in fact, the local people are not good at farming.With the efforts of County Magistrate Yao, although they can do medicinal materials business with outsiders, if the cultivation of medicinal materials does not reach a large scale, they can only sell wild medicinal materials grown on the mountains, and they will soon be sitting on nothing.So Shen Deyuan did a lot of field investigations together with meditation, visited many elderly people, and slowly summed up the growth conditions of various medicinal materials, and passed them on to the local people one by one. ·

Both Shen Deyuan and Shen Si are not very good at farming, what they do is actually just a sorting job.

But if they don't, no one thinks to do it.No one realizes that how they deal with medicinal materials and how to preserve the medicinal properties of certain medicinal materials can be written into a book to help others.Before the Shen family and his son summed up these experiences and common sense, everyone lived by their own experience. After they summarized and taught everyone, everyone was finally able to brainstorm.

Due to the huge amount of information, the workload of the Shen family and his son was not light.

The Shen family father and son also brought in information from outside.Nangai has always tended to be conservative, but with the efforts of the Shen family and his son, the people of Tongen County have used the oil lamps used by outsiders for lighting, the iron plows used by outsiders for farming, and sometimes wear Outlander's clothing...

If County Magistrate Yao opened a door to the outside world for the locals, then the Shen family and his son are helping them get out of the door better.The local people's gratitude to them stems from this.Although they have only lived here for two or three years, their influence can last for two to thirty years.

Shen Deyuan made the best plan for Tongen County and its surrounding areas.

There is a lot to pack.Shen Deyuan and Shen Si came to time and space, and returned with the blessings of the locals.The coachman who took them to the ferry had never met Shen Deyuan before, but he had heard of what County Magistrate Yao and Mr. Shen had done for the locals.The coachman was a bit restrained at first, but later seeing that Shen Deyuan was a middle-aged man with a very generous personality—this is definitely an illusion, according to the officials of the same dynasty—he regained his talkative nature.

At this time, people pay more attention to having more children and more blessings. The coachman looked at the three young men standing behind Shen Deyuan enviously, and said, "Mr. Blessed, the three sons are all so good-looking, and they are all scholars. When they marry one by one Once you have a daughter-in-law and a family, your husband can be an old man and enjoy the blessings!"

Hearing what the coachman said, even though the inherent reserve of a scholar told Shen Deyuan that he should remain humble at this time, he still felt a little proud.He glanced at Shen Si, Shen Yi and Bian Jingyu one by one with gratified eyes, and said with a smile: "By the blessing of Big Brother, I'm just waiting to enjoy the happiness!"

"That's for sure!" the coachman said with a smile.

"However, Big Brother was wrong. I only have two sons, and here is my nephew, who is no different from my own son." Shen Deyuan said.After all, Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi were not married yet, Shen Deyuan was afraid that Bian Jingyu would feel embarrassed, so he explained with a smile.

Hearing this, the coachman seemed a little surprised, so he looked back at Shen Si, Shen Yi and Bian Jingyu.

Shen Si was the oldest and was very tanned. He was obviously the eldest son who was rumored to be by Shen Deyuan's side all the time.The driver put his attention on Shen Yi and Bian Jingyu.Is one of these two people not Mr. Shen's own son?This is not very easy to distinguish.

Shen Yi has practiced martial arts with monks since she was a child, so she looks stronger than Bian Jingyu, who is more bookish.

As far as the coachman himself is concerned, he definitely likes Shen Yi better, because Shen Yi seems to be more capable of doing farm work!Of course, this is also relative.In fact, the three of Shen Si definitely could not have been more able to work than the coachman's own children.For people like them who earn a little hard money every day, being able to work is more important than anything else.But the driver knew that Mr. Shen was a scholar, and Mr. Shen's son was afraid that he was also a scholar, so he continued to say auspicious words, "Two sons are fine! Your eldest son looks like he can run the family, and your youngest son looks like he can read." !"

The coachman pointed to Shen Yi again and said, "This kid is not bad-looking, and he respects you too. I thought he was your son too."

Shen Yi: "..."

I am my father's son!It's a real fake!Can you be nice to me!

If Uncle Anping, who was far away in the capital, knew about this, as Bian Jingyu's biological father, he would probably cry with Shen Yi.

When the group of them returned to Beijing, nothing seemed to have changed in the capital, except that Lord Zhen Guo was going back to the court to report on his duties.

The current Zhen Guogong is Liu Jiahui's uncle.When Liu Jiahui first married Bian Jiayu, her grandfather, Old Duke, was in poor health.After all, the old man is a veteran who has guarded the frontier for most of his life for the court and the people. No matter what the emperor thinks in his heart, he always respects him on the face, so he has repeatedly sent imperial doctors to guard the government.In fact, the old Duke didn't suffer from any serious illness, it was just because he was injured a lot in his early years, and when he got older, all those sequelae broke out. In addition, he was really not young anymore, so he was a little weak.In fact, he is just old.

This situation cannot be cured. No matter how skilled the imperial physician is, he can only try his best to help the old man relieve some of his weak symptoms.

When the old man was most seriously ill, even the coffin was prepared in the mansion of the town man, thinking that the old man would not be able to make it through.At this time, there is a habit of wearing shrouds for the dying old people, so the Zhen Guogong Mansion also made the shrouds.As a result, the old man endured month after month, obviously weak as if he was about to die at any time, but he also endured until this time.He couldn't get out of bed for most of the day, but he was still alive after all.

When the Duke's Mansion was preparing the coffin, the current Duke of the Kingdom, that is, Liu Jiahui's uncle, sent seven memorials back from the frontier, saying that he was going back to Beijing to serve the sick.His reason is very good, he wants to come back to honor his father!When his mother died, he had to be stationed at the frontier and did not come back. He didn't even keep his filial piety because the emperor seized his love.Now that his father is ill again, Lord Zhen really does not want to lose such an opportunity to honor the elderly.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve.Duke Zhen wept bitterly in the memorial.He is now 50 years younger, and the average life expectancy is not high at this time, so he is already an old man.Although he was in good health, there were generals who could fight until they were over 70 years old, but he insisted that he was old, and the emperor could not refute, "No, no, no, you are not old, you can still fight for the country for another 20 years."Duke Zhen said that he had been loyal to the country for most of his life, and now that he was old and his health was failing, it was time to give up his position as a general and return to the capital to stay with his old father to fulfill his filial piety.

Such a request is reasonable and legitimate.What can the emperor do?

Does the emperor want Duke Zhen to come back?Of course he wanted to.After several generations of Zhen Guogong's hard work, the military power in the northwest area has always been firmly held in the hands of Zhen Guogong's mansion.This can definitely provoke the sensitive nerves of an emperor.But, can the emperor let Zhen Guogong come back?Of course he can't.Duke Zhen has unprecedented prestige in the Northwest. If Duke Zhen is recalled, but does not find a way to eliminate the influence of several Dukes of Zhen in the army, then the Northwest will fall into chaos instead.It can be said that Zhen Guogong is a Dinghai magic needle standing in the northwest.

Therefore, the emperor could only press the memorial that Duke Zhen would resign, but allowed him to come back to visit relatives.

Lord Zhen came back two years ago. Under his careful care, the old man's health gradually improved. The imperial doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said that the old man was fine for the time being.Then, Zhen Guogong returned to the northwest.When he went back that time, he took some of the emperor's people with him.After arriving in the Northwest, he generously promoted these people, as if he was really old and had no ambitions, and it was time to cultivate heirs for the position of general.

In fact, the government of Zhen Guo has long been willing to retreat, otherwise Liu Jiahui's cousins ​​would not have abandoned Wu Congwen.

From the very beginning, Lord Zhen Guo didn't intend to train his nephew to be his successor. He was actually optimistic about one of his adopted sons.But in Liu Jiahui's dream, this adopted son who was carefully cultivated by Lord Zhen is actually a very well-disguised white-eyed wolf!In the past two years, Lord Zhen continued to support his adopted son, but he also put on a high-spirited look to support the emperor's people, and then watched them fight in the ring calmly.

Every time the old Duke became seriously ill, the Duke of Zhen repeatedly wrote to resign, so that he could go home and take care of his father.

The old Duke had been ill for more than two years, and the Duke of Zhen had submitted more than a dozen resignation memorials in succession in the past two years.

In the end, although the old man was ill, he was still alive.Although Zhen Guogong has been giving up power, Northwest still cannot do without him.

"If Duke Zhen really retreats, it might be bad..." Bian Jiayu said to Liu Jiahui worriedly in private.

Apart from Lord Zhen Guo, the highest official in the Liu family is Liu Jiahui's father, who is the Imperial College Jijiu.However, for a big family like the Liu family, what can a Guozijian sacrificial wine do?Once Zhen Guogong handed over the military power, the Liu family will be immediately squeezed out of the circle of first-rate and second-rate families by those who did not deal with it in the past.I don't know how many years it will be until the Liu family gets up again.Therefore, if Duke Zhen wants to retire, it shouldn't be at this time.He had to wait until the entire Liu family could stand firmly even if they lost their military power before choosing to retreat.

"Don't worry, grandpa knows it well." Liu Jiahui said.Between the Liu family and the emperor, it's up to who can figure it out.

Today's Holy Majesty is definitely not a foolish king, and the Liu family is not all innocent, but each has its own position.

When Bian Jiayu heard what Liu Jiahui said, she felt that her worries were unnecessary.He quickly put the question aside, and said: "The old man used to say that his soldiers were like gods. When I was young, I loved hearing stories about him! It's just that the storytellers suddenly talked less... "

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.Liu Jiahui's heart skipped a beat suddenly.

For a while, storytellers really liked to tell stories about the old man, because the old man beat the shit out of the barbarians, and every battle was a classic.At that time, the old Duke was not only very prestigious in the northwest, he was even sought after in the capital.It's just that one day, the storyteller didn't tell the old man's story much... Liu Jiahui thought to herself, maybe it wasn't at that time, someone would look at the Liu family and find it an eyesore, right?

Liu Jiahui sighed slightly.How many bones are hidden behind the word power.
