Han’s Son is Not a Slave

When Mao Shoudeng and Wen Xieji entered the room, Wen Anzhi was leaning on the bed to read the "Tie'an Draft" he had written more than ten years ago.

"Father, didn't I tell you to rest, why did you turn over the previous manuscript."

Wen Xieji looked dissatisfied at the servant who served his father, but Wen Anzhi put down the manuscript and glanced at his son unhappily: "It's none of his business."

Mao Shou went up to greet Wen Anzhi, then calmly took the manuscript in his father-in-law's hand and put it by the bed. Wen Xieji ordered the servants to turn on the lights. Under the lights, Wen Anzhi, who was nearly eighty years old, was covered with age spots. When Mao Shoudeng touched his father-in-law's hand, he felt cold and could not help but feel sad.

After the defeat of Er Tan's mutiny in the Chongqing counter-offensive campaign, Wen Anzhi became ill. First, he was getting old, and second, he was emaciated. Then the news of the emperor's abandonment of the country made him even more discouraged and hopeless. Nanyou's improvement has rekindled his hope, and I'm afraid that it will pass away. But even so, the old man's body and bones are still getting worse day by day. He also looked down on life and death. Life has been rare in the seventies, and he is almost eighty years old. It's just that the old concern in his heart has not been recovered, the world is still in strife, and countless Li people are struggling with war and starvation, which makes it difficult for him to let go.

When I get older, my eyes are not very good. When Wen Anzhi was reading the manuscript, he almost had to put his eyes on the manuscript. Even so, he couldn't read a few words. The reason why he still needs to watch it is just because of his persistence in his heart.

"The disaster of the earth dragon should not be underestimated, but after the earth dragon passes, there will be strong winds and heavy rain, and you must not be sloppy in disaster relief. The people of Kuidong have followed us for so many years, and they have suffered a lot, and many families have lost their youth. We must never let orphans, widows and mothers starve and freeze again, or we will be sorry."

"Don't worry, father, I have already arranged it."

Mao Shoudeng briefly mentioned his arrangements, and Wen Anzhi nodded after listening. Although the arrangement of the son-in-law has its shortcomings, but the lack of materials in Kuidong can only be done.

After leaning on for a long time, Wen Anzhi was a little weak, Mao Shoudeng hurriedly stepped forward and leaned the old man up, and then pulled the quilt up to prevent the old man from catching a cold again.

Wen Anzhi didn't speak, but Mao Shoudeng knew that his father-in-law had asked him to come not only to ask about the disaster of the Earth Dragon. Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Wen Anzhi suddenly said, "I've been thinking about it over and over for the past few days. I'm old and sick in bed. It's really hard to bear the heavy responsibility of the superintendent, so I want to write to the imperial court and resign from the position of superintendent. ."

"Since my father has made a decision, I have no objection. It's just that my father thinks that the court will send someone to supervise the teacher. Do the soldiers and civilians in Kuidong obey him?"

Mao Shoudeng didn't say it clearly, but Wen Anzhi knew what he meant. He sighed and said, "The Son of Heaven is always the Son of Heaven, and the court is always the court. As long as the Son of Heaven is there for one day, I will obey my orders."

Mao Shoudeng didn't know how to speak. He was against compromising with Guiyang, because Wu Sangui was really untrustworthy. If Mao Shoudeng really wanted to make a decision, he would like to support King Tang like Zhongzhengying, but he knew that his father-in-law was very loyal to Yongli, and even if Yongli was held hostage by Wu Sangui now, he would not betray him. Although doing so will not bring much benefit to Kuidong's future, it will not do much harm. At least Kuidong does not have to bear the heavy military pressure as before. However, if his father-in-law resigned from the post of supervisor, Wu Sangui would definitely take this opportunity to send someone to Kuidong. At that time, would the military and civilians in Kuidong obey or not? If you don't obey the order, you will undoubtedly turn against Guiyang. If you obey the order, what will happen to the Zhongzhen Camp? Could it be that Kuidong will board Wu Sangui's boat from now on?

Mao Shoudeng wanted to dissuade the old man from resigning, but seeing the old man's gaze, he couldn't say anything. He didn't want his father-in-law to work any longer, and perhaps resignation would be a relief for him.

Wen Anzhi saw that his son-in-law did not object, and his heart was relieved. After Hongbuyuan and Pan Eunuch arrived in Nandu, the Kuidong Army political name was Wen'an Governor. In fact, Mao Shoudeng was at the disposal. , he did not object to this matter, and most of it could be accomplished.

At this time, Wen Xieji came out and objected: "Father, from my son's point of view, it is really unwise to do it when he knows he can't do it. My father was reluctant to go to Guiyang before, why does Kuidong obey Wu Sangui now?"

"It is to obey the emperor, not to obey Wu Sangui."

Wen Anzhi corrected, but the words were pale and powerless. He was here and could block Wu Sangui's hand towards Kui Dong. If he was not there, with the name of the imperial court in place, would Kui Dong really remain independent?

Mao Shoudeng saw his father-in-law's face was ugly, so he hurriedly asked Wen Xieji not to argue, lest the old man get angry. Wen Xieji hesitated to speak, but finally did not say anything to make his father sad.

"Father, it's getting late, you should rest first, it's not too late to talk about this later."

Mao Shoudeng wanted to delay this in advance, but there were guards outside the house reporting: "Report to the supervisor, Chongqing Tan Hong has sent someone to ask for an interview."

Tan Hong?

Hearing this name, Wen Xieji was furious: "That traitor Tan Hong has the face to send someone here!"

Wen Anzhi was also greatly surprised. After Er Tan's betrayal, even if he followed Gao Min Zhan anyway, he would not dare to have any contact with Kui Dong any more.

"What do you have to say to the traitor, I will drive them away!"

Seeing that Wen Xieji was going to expel people, Mao Shoudeng hurriedly stopped him: "Tan Hong suddenly sent people, there must be something wrong, you might as well ask what's the matter first." After speaking, let the guards bring Tan Hong's people in.

Wen Anzhi glanced at Xieji reproachfully, this son was all good, but he was too impatient and couldn't hold his breath.

"I have seen the Wen Supervisor!"

When Tan Hong's messenger saw Wen Anzhi who was on the bed, he knelt down and saluted, and then said respectfully, "My marquis knows that I can't be sorry for the supervisor that day, and he has no face to see him again, but this matter is very important, my marquis You must let the supervisor know."

With the help of Mao Shoudeng, Wen Anzhi barely stood up~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Tan Yi has led troops to stop the Son of Heaven."

"what!"

Wen Anzhi, Mao Shoudeng, and Wen Xieji were stunned and couldn't believe it: The Son of Heaven is far away in Guiyang, why did Tan Yi bring troops to stop him?

The messenger continued, "My family's marquis said that Tan Yi had led troops to intercept the Son of Heaven three days ago. After he knew the news, he immediately sent a junior to deliver the news. If the superintendent would send a team of elite soldiers to take the waterway now. , when you can grab the emperor in front of Tan Yi, and grab the man!"

"Isn't the Son of Heaven in Guiyang, where the Wu army is heavily guarded, how can Tan Yi dare to attack Guiyang?"

The messenger said: "The supervisor did not know anything. Guiyang was called by the Taiping army to break it a month ago. Zhang Guozhu, Wu Sanfu and others took the emperor and fled into the middle of Sichuan. They are now rushing to Chongqing."

This news surprised Wen Anzhi again, and Mao Shoudeng said in surprise: "It's the emperor who entered Sichuan, so why did Tan Yi block the emperor? Didn't he vote for Wu Sangui? What did he do to stop the emperor?!"
