Chapter 097 The big man loves his father-in-law and sells his ancestral property to support his son-in-law!
"You mean...Tang Ji?"
The old man with white beard and hair put down the book and stared at the attendant in disbelief.
His name is Tang Yu.
The head of the Tang family in Yingchuan.
"Well, that's right, it's Tang Ji."
The attendant was also startled. He did not expect that the head of the family would react so strongly.
Can it be smaller?
many years ago.
After Tang Ji married into the royal family, she never returned home.
In addition, there were drastic changes in the court this year. Liu Bian was deposed from the throne by the traitor Dong Zhuo and was placed under house arrest in Age. There was no news about Tang Ji.
The Tang family, which relied on eunuchs to gain power, even took refuge one after another.
Most of the tribesmen moved south to Kuaiji and joined Tang Mao, the governor of Kuaiji County.
Now that he is in his twilight years, he originally thought that he would die here holding on to his ancestral business, but he never thought that he would be lucky enough to see his granddaughter again before he died.
Tang Yu was extremely excited: "Quick! Invite her in."
The attendant bowed his head and said, "Here."
"Wait a minute."
Tang Yu suddenly stood up and waved his hand to stop the attendant.
Immediately.
He bypassed the long case, stood up and went straight to the door of the mansion: "I'd better go to greet her in person. She is the most noble person in our Tang family."
now.
In front of Tang's house.
The dead leaves are falling and the door is closed.
Liu Bian sighed and shook his head in embarrassment: "My beloved, how long have you been married to Gu? Why don't even your Tang family recognize you?"
Tang Ji Emei frowned slightly, and she was also full of doubts: "I'm not sure about my identity, but I can tell that the Tang family's courtyard is no longer what it used to be. No one has cleaned the withered and fallen leaves. It's really strange."
"Your Highness~~"
A feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in Tang Ji's heart: "Do you think all the Tang clan members will move to Kuaiji? After all, my father is now the governor of Kuaiji County, and only he can protect the whole clan."
"Um."
Liu Bian nodded with interest: "It's very possible! This year there have been drastic changes in the imperial court one after another. Eunuchs have been executed, relatives have been wiped out, and the treacherous minister Dong Zhuo dominates the court. Yingchuan was the site of the Fourth Battle. It is reasonable to leave here."
Liu Bian clearly remembered that Xun Yu, who was a talented man like Wang Zuo, had the intention to leave Yingchuan, and the reason was that he went to Jizhou to avoid disaster because the court was shaken and might lead to a war.
Since Xun Yu can avoid disaster, others can do the same.
Especially the Tang family, who started out as eunuchs, are unusually keen on this.
Tang Ji looked a little sad: "Your Highness, if this is really the case, I'm afraid we won't gain much when we return to Lin County this time. What should we do if we can't raise food and grass?"
Liu Bian pinched Tang Ji's little face and said affectionately: "What do you want to do? Let's think of another way. There must be a road for the car to reach the mountain, and it will be straight for the boat to the bridge."
"don’t worry."
Liu Bian patted his chest and promised: "As long as we are alone, we will definitely be able to solve it."
Tang Ji felt warm in her heart: "Yes~~ I believe in Your Highness."
Hee hee~~
This sweet smile immediately made netizens in the live broadcast room jealous:
"Damn it! Mr. Bian, you are really good at picking up girls."
"How could you pinch my sister Tang Ji's face? Can you describe what it feels like?"
"I love this couple so much. I want to find a man like Mr. Ben in the future."
“It’s so sweet, I can’t stand it~~”
"..."
Squeak~~
Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.
An old man with white hair and beard walked out of the door and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.
Although Liu Bian did not wear a royal crown, his intimacy with his granddaughter revealed his identity.
Tang Yu stepped forward quickly, bowed and saluted: "Old Tang Yu, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness King Hongnong."
Liu Bian asked the Tang family in advance, so he knew the identity of the old man, and hurriedly helped him up: "Grandpa, please don't give me such a big gift. Get up quickly, but you are really alone."
Tang Ji also stretched out her hand to help: "Grandpa, please get up quickly. This is not the place to talk. How about we go into the house and talk in detail?"
Tang Yu nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's go into the room and talk in detail. Come in and talk in detail. Your Highness invites you first."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "You are the elder, please go first."
"How dare you, an old and ordinary commoner, dare to go beyond the rules? Your Highness should invite you first."
"Well... how about we go together."
"well."
Ever since.
The two walked side by side and entered the Tang Mansion.
Liu Bian, Tang Ji has a distinguished status and sits on the throne.
Tang Yu sat down at the lower end.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Liu Bian learned about the current situation of the Tang family and couldn't help but worry: "Listening to what my grandfather said, isn't the Tang family now just an empty shell?"
Tang Yu pinched a strand of goatee under his chin and sighed: "Anyway, the most precious things have been taken away. Only these things that cannot be taken away are left, and they are old and decrepit."
"That's it..."
Liu Bian looked slightly disappointed.
"how?"
Tang Yu noticed something strange in Liu Bian's expression and asked curiously: "Your Highness is here, is there something wrong?"
Liu Bian did not hide anything, and nodded slowly: "To be honest, I have gathered a group of soldiers and horses outside Shenyuan Pass, which has caused a shortage of food and grass in the army. I came here to seek some help."
"but......"
Liu Bian sighed and said softly: "It seems there is no hope."
Tang Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "Why do you say this, Your Highness? Although my Tang family has moved and all the family's belongings have been taken away, don't we still have these houses and manors?"
"Um?"
Liu Bian was stunned: "Grandpa, what do you mean?"
Tang Yu said loudly: "His Highness escaped from the palace and gathered the army. He must be doing something great. How can I not help His Highness?"
“Don’t worry~~”
Tang Yu clapped his chest and promised, "I will ask the housekeeper to go to the Taoist festival later and invite people to come over and sell the house and manor. I will raise as much food and grass as I can for His Highness."
"ah?"
Tang Ji was in a daze: "Grandpa, what...what should you do?"
Tang Yu said without hesitation: "I am relieved to see you, so I will go to Kuaiji. At the same time, I will send someone to tell Mao'er to get in touch with His Highness in time so that we can work together on this great event."
now.
The voice of the Alliance of Military Advisors sounded: "Master Bian, your grandfather is a genius! He moved his family away to preserve his strength, but he is waiting to die here, just in case."
"But the moment he saw you, he immediately realized that an opportunity had come. Relying on eunuchs to rise to prominence is unreliable. If he can help you achieve your career, the Tang family will become a family of relatives in the future."
"This old man is going to place a bet on you."
Even Liu Bian himself could feel the excitement of the military advisor alliance: "Master Bian, if you can get the full help of my father-in-law, we will be even stronger when we attack Nanyang."
"Yuan Shu, this kid, can fool Sun Jian and take down Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, just by virtue of his reputation as the fourth generation and the third prince. What's more, you are the emperor and you still have an army in your hands!"
