The maid ran back to the gate of Yuedong and said to the civil and military officials: "The general said that he had never gained a name yet. Now he only wishes the child to be healthy, so his nickname is 'Arnau'."
Why do you say that you want your child to be healthy and call him "Ano". Everyone present, such as Xin Bin, are well-educated, but they can't figure out what they come from?
Xin Bin said, "It is my resignation. I think the sect leader hopes that the young master can stand in the court in the future, and be magnificent and accept the emperor's will."
Zhou Hu said: "In history books, it is better to get Ji Bu's 100 kilograms of gold than to get Ji Bu's 100. Or, the sect leader hopes that the young master can inherit the heroic family tradition of the Lei family in Lujiang and be a famous general like Ji Bu?"
Everyone discussed a few words, but it was really hard to understand, but that was okay. Since the general had been named, it was a good name, and everyone just had to agree. He was brave and said stupidly.
So everyone dispersed and prepared to celebrate.
And Lei Yuan finally met his wife and children.
He held his wife's arms in one hand and gently tapped the child's cheek with the other, immersed in the joy of being a father. It took him a long time to look at the child's appearance. He looked very happy, but said, "Haha, it's a bit ugly!"
Zhao Xiang was leaning against Lei Yuan, with a look of pride on his face except fatigue. Suddenly, she heard Lei Yuan say this, and she knew it was a joke, but she couldn't help but be angry: "Give me the child, you go out!"
Lei Yuan laughed loudly and got up and went out. He immediately summoned the servants and maids leaders responsible for postpartum conditioning, asking them to be careful, keep warm, keep ventilation, be careful of cleaning, be careful of diet, be moderate in work and rest...
He talked for a long time, and the maid smiled and said, "Go and go with peace of mind, we will take good care of our wife."
Judging from the meaning, it is clearly because Lei Yuan is in trouble.
At this time, Lei Yuan was filled with joy. No matter what others said, he probably wouldn't be angry. He immediately smiled and returned to the outside yard.
At this time, the subordinates had already distributed money, wine and food to the military and civilians as they had prepared before.
Because it was Lei Yuan's eldest son's birth, the celebration was naturally grand. Every ordinary family can obtain cloth and rice mai, and the dependents of the Lei clan also need some extra coins.
As for the rewards from the soldiers of the army, they used carts to push copper coins to the camp. They also agreed in advance that these were just gifts from the general to celebrate the son, and then summarized the military achievements of Jianghuai and other places, as well as generous rewards, so the troops cheered enthusiastically.
After a moment, all the civil and military officials in Yidu City and the Lei clan members visited each other. Even the young wife Wu, who lived in the other courtyard, brought Lei Yuan's younger brothers Lei Shen and Lei Xia to congratulate him.
Lei Yuan said a few words to Wu and went to see his two younger brothers.
Lei Shen is sixteen years old, tall and tall, growing to about the same height as Lei Yuan, with a more handsome appearance than his brother, and his eyes are very bright. Lei Yuan patted his arms and felt his muscles and bones very strong. Seeing that he had calluses on his hands, he asked, "Do my brother practice martial arts?"
Lei Shenying said: "I have been learning archery and horses with Uncle Yan recently."
"Oh?" Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Director Yan is more than just a bow and horse, you have to ask for advice. If Uncle Yan is happy in a few days, you will be my entourage."
Lei Shen was overjoyed and pulled Lei Xia to bow down.
After a moment, Lei Yuan's younger sister also came and presented her own fabric as a gift.
Seeing this little girl, Lei Yuan slapped his head and said, "There is something that I almost forgot."
He quickly called Li Zhen and asked him to pick up the cages sent by Lingling County.
Looking back, he explained: "I was in Jiangling in the previous period and fought side by side with Xi Boyu. Xi Boyu is now the commander of the northern Lingling. He often saw some interesting things in the south, so he asked me to bring them to his sister."
After pausing, he said again: "This time I also met Xi Boyu's brother, Xi Zhen, the chief of the Xi family of Xiangyang. I have made an agreement with him that after the beginning of next spring, I will hold a wedding for you and Boyu, and I will come forward to see you off for the wedding."
The little sister of Lei's face was flushed, and she forced herself to thank Lei Yuan and retreated in a panic.
I was busy until late at night, and Lei Yuan stopped a little.
That night, he kept Xin Bin, Zhou Hu and others and drank a little in the yard to celebrate.
Zhou Hu drank too much, cried and laughed, "When the sect leader had no children, he always felt that he was still a young man. Now that he had children, he looked like the sect leader! I just hope that when the young master grew up, he would be as heroic as the sect leader!"
Lei Yuan smiled and advised him to drink another drink.
He leaned halfway down on the soft couch and looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky were dotted, and they shone with the candles lit everywhere in the prefect's mansion. He suddenly thought that the last time he looked at the sky like this was in late autumn in the 14th year of Jian'an.
At that time, Lei Yuan and his brothers Lei Xiu, Deng Tong, Ding Li and others intercepted the cavalry sent by Cao's army to Hefei to assist. In one battle, they defeated more than a thousand iron cavalry of Zhang Xi's troops and killed Cao's army's corpses everywhere. That night, his brother, Deng Tong, Ding Li and others were very happy, and they felt that they would definitely help Wu Hou seize the Jianghuai and win the position of governor and general for their family.
What's the result?
As the regime becomes stronger and stronger, the powerful people who once controlled the local areas are gradually suppressed. Compared with the regime, the strength of the clan is not worth mentioning. No matter how powerful it seems, it is difficult to withstand wind and rain.
The Lujiang Lei family and Huainan Haoyou Alliance failed in this way.
How now?
For clan old people like Xin Bin and Zhou Hu, when Lei Yuan has children, the clan has a legitimate next patriarch, a small group with Lei Yuan as the core also has a partner to be loyal to in the future, which is naturally a happy event.
Standing from Lei Yuan's perspective, although he was happy, he felt a heavy responsibility and a confusion about the future.
After returning from Jianghuai, he knew that his reputation was getting higher and higher, and his power would sooner or later become stronger and stronger. However, he felt trembling and walking on thin ice. He also knew that the local tyranny of such a clan was huge and almost a factional place might not be tolerated by the regime for a long time.
Even though Duke Xuande personally promised that day.
Lei Yuan admires the great people who are now in charge of Jing Yi. In his eyes, these people are worthy of the praises of later generations, and they are indeed heroes who have great ambitions and strive to rebuild a peaceful world.
However, the relationship between the local and the central government does not depend on the loyalty of the local government, nor is it the decision of a certain person in the central government. This is forced by the overall situation.
In the past few years, Lei Yuan was not very worried about this. He once had the idea of ​​slowly operating, not caring about foreign affairs, and waiting for "the world changes" to be a district.
This is because he is confident in grasping the direction of history and feels that as one of the main players, the Liu Bei Group will sooner or later need such a powerful force to stabilize Jingzhou and even support the regime. At that time, Chengdu is afraid that Lei Yuan's power will not be strong enough and will definitely not have the ability to suppress it.
However, after walking around Jianghuai this time, he saw that the situation gradually became different from his memory. Xuandegong's power was much stronger than Lei Yuan expected. He was not sure whether something would happen.
Since this is the case, how should the Lujiang Lei clan, the Haowu clan, be in the regime of Xuandegong, deal with it?
It is not necessarily necessary that he disarms his own force and goes to the court to be a senior official. Lei Yuan shook his head slightly. It is not that simple, and he is unwilling to give up the power he has already mastered.
Whether it is cooperation, compromise, concession or struggle, Lei Yuan himself is not afraid. In his two lives, he has experienced a lot from an ordinary ant civilian to a powerful military and political leader. At least, his vision and courage have been developed.
But today, when he saw his child with his own eyes, he couldn't help but think:
What kind of situation will this child face in the future? Will it be a beautiful world? Can I give him a wonderful life?
At this time, Xin Bin was planning the gift he received today. He said to Lei Yuan: "Menciusdu already knew that the sect leader had a son. He said that after returning to Zigui, he would prepare a gift. By the way, he also asked the sect leader to make time to take a look at the letter from the deputy army general."
Lei Yuan withdrew his chaotic thoughts.
Is Liu Feng's letter so important that Meng Da mentioned it so solemnly?
Chapter completed!
