A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 773 A daughter of the Wu family has grown up

The drums and horns are shouting, the swords are shining and the swords are shadowing.

The Rangers of the Tang Dynasty chased on the plains beside Zuoxi River, hunting and killing the sentry knights of Xidong outside Longzhai. The small-scale ranger chase showed the vigor and prowess of the knights.

Funan Mountain.

Under the banner of Sanchen,

Huaiyu sits high and overlooks the battlefield.

The siege of Longzhai has begun,

Although this is just a feint in Wu Huaiyu's overall strategy, Wu Huaiyu will not let go even if it is a feint.

This battle must be an all-out effort. The fiercer the fight here, the more the enemy's main force can be mobilized and create opportunities for a real attack.

It's not surprising that Gong Xing was not persuaded to surrender.

It would be strange if he persuaded him to surrender with just one sentence. It would only make Wu Huaiyu think that he was trying to surrender.

The sun sets in the west,

It's going to set,
Huaiyu withdrew his gaze from the riders down the mountain and returned to the letter in front of him.
A letter from Fenghuo's family is worth ten thousand gold.

These family letters were sent from Chang'an.
The inconvenience of transportation naturally brings about the inconvenience of communication.
Even as Prime Minister Wu Huaiyu, it is not that convenient to correspond with his family, especially now that the battlefield is constantly moving.

Every letter from home is a piece of cake and hard-earned.

The letter from his wife Fan Xuanfu expressed a lot of lovesickness and also shared the growth of several children. She liked all three sons very much, but with some regrets. She always thought that the child in her belly was a girl when Huaiyu left. , she has always wanted a girl,

As a result, another son was born, the third legitimate son.

Huaiyu was also a little surprised. He named the child Chengying. Chengying was the eighteenth among the brothers, above Chengfan. Huaiyu had not met him until now.

Xuanfu asked him in the letter when he could return to Chang'an. She couldn't wait to ask Huaiyu to give her a daughter, and said that the daughter would be as beautiful as her in the future.

The other concubines also wrote to him, and even the older children such as Chengsi also wrote to him. Although the words were not many, they still had a childish tone, but when they saw the children, they would write letters to greet their father. Huaiyu was very moved and even had tears in his eyes.

The eldest is five years old.

I have missed their enlightenment education.

It’s been a long time since I left Guangzhou in the blink of an eye, and Foresta and I have been apart for a long time.

He wants to live in Chang'an.
I miss Fan Xianji, the woman who gave birth to his three sons, and the days when she pretended to be a businessman accompanying the army and followed him all the way to Longyou. They fought together and even lived in the small place of Yanjing Village for a short time.

Of course, I also miss those beautiful concubines and the lively children.

He even missed Lao Wu, who was a bit old and dishonest now. During the more than a year since he had been in Lingnan, Lao Wu had given birth to several younger brothers and sisters.

When can I finish my trip to Lingnan?

I read a letter,
Finally, Huaiyu was a little surprised when he saw the letter. It was actually from Wu Erniang.

Her handwriting is very beautiful,

He was a little surprised. He opened the envelope and read it carefully. It turned out that she was only nine years old. He remembered that a few years ago, when the warrior Yu was still Duke Ying, Huaiyu would still call her affectionately every time he went to the house. My brother Qingyang is sometimes called second brother directly.

She likes to sit on her lap, lean in his arms, and let him tell her stories and various experiences. She also likes to ask Huaiyu to give her snacks, and even gives herself a little bit each time she learns to make female needlework. Small works, sometimes a small sachet, sometimes a small purse, and occasionally I would give him Buddhist scriptures that I had copied.

The relationship between the two is very good,
She was innocent and innocent, and Huaiyu took special care of her for some special reasons at that time. Therefore, among the three daughters born to the warrior Yu and the Yang family, Huaiyu had the best relationship with this second mother. .It was so good that the aunt and Sanniang were a little jealous, and the warriors Xun and Yang were surprised.

In the past few years, Huaiyu and Erniang have seen each other less and less, and Huaiyu often sends her gifts and so on.

In the blink of an eye, she was nine years old and became a slim girl.

In the past two years, she has been living with her father in Luoyang. I heard that she has become more and more beautiful, and she is also quite good at reading.

Looking at the letter she wrote now, the handwriting is very good, and the writing is also good.

She is still the prince Liangdi who is engaged to the prince.

Wu Erniang told him that not long ago, when her father Zhou Guogong, the warrior Xun, came to Beijing to meet the saint, the emperor, the queen and the prince invited him to a family banquet. At the family banquet, the emperor said that in five years, the then 14-year-old Wu Erniang entered the East Palace.

As for why it was this time, Wu Erniang said that the emperor had decided to crown the prince three years later and then marry the prince to Su.

The prince is 14 years old this year, will be seventeen in three years, and nineteen in five years.

It was supposed to be crowned last year, but now it has to be postponed to three years.
Wu Erniang's letter said a lot of things. She was still very affectionate with Huaiyu, her second brother, and looked forward to seeing her brother Qingyang again.
But the letter is not just about the love between brother and sister. It can be seen that the nine-year-old Er Niang is already delicate and mature. She is a little worried that the crown ceremony of the prince has been changed again and again, even three years later. It wasn't that something was wrong with Donggong, she was worried.

Moreover, she revealed that her father, the warrior Xun, might have to be transferred to another post after his last visit to Beijing to meet the saint. It was said that he might go to Shu or return to Yangzhou, or he might go to Hexi. She felt that this was not a good thing.

Wu Erniang hoped that her brother Qingyang could help with the operation. She hoped that her father could continue to stay in Luoyang or serve in the court.

Seeing these words, Huaiyu felt quite complicated. That little girl has grown up.

Some ambitions have even been revealed.

She didn't know whether this was good or bad. Huaiyu once thought that he had changed the trajectory of the Wu family, and perhaps the fate of this girl, but now, after going around in circles, it seemed that he had gone back again.

At the end of the letter, Wu Erniang said that Dai Zhou, the Minister of Civil Affairs who was involved in political affairs, was seriously ill and might not last long. She said that if Huaiyu could help the warrior Xun enter the capital, now would be a good opportunity.

She actually wanted the warrior Xun to join the court as Minister of Civil Affairs, and she might even want her father to join the political hall as prime minister.

This ambition is not small.

Wu Huaiyu now still has the title of prime minister with the same title as Tong Zhongshu's family. Although he is touring Lingnan Province, he is still the real prime minister after all.

In this situation, it is of course impossible for Samurai Yu to enter the political affairs hall, but if it is said that Samurai Yu will return to the court and become Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is really a good chance.

First of all, the qualifications of the warrior Xun were sufficient. Wu Dechao had served as the minister of Huangmen and the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Later, he was released as the governor of Yangzhou, the governor of Yongzhou, the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Jingzhou, and then the governor of Luozhou. Still a hero of Taiyuan Yuanmou,
The qualifications are sufficient. The only shortcoming is that he is not Yuan Cong, the confidant of Emperor Zhenguan. But now is not a few years ago, these are not too important.

Tang Jian, who had the same qualifications as him, had been Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs before.

Wen Yanbo is still Zhongshu Ling.

He did not doubt that Er Niang's words were inspired by others. Although Er Niang was only nine years old, he believed that these were her original intentions.
This girl is becoming more and more bold and careful.

But even Er Niang could tell that something must have happened between the prince and the emperor. Didn’t Wu Huaiyu know that? He had already sent Chen Sheng to Beijing to find out.

But even the prince himself doesn't know what happened, and it's not easy to figure it out. At least Chen Sheng hasn't given him the results yet.

Thinking of this, Huaiyu frowned and felt a little irritated. He felt that many things had really happened in Chang'an during the more than a year since he left Beijing, and he was beyond his reach.

I don’t know when this battle will end.
If he continues to stay in Lingnan like this, he may really be marginalized by the court.
