The two of them had just arrived at the gate of the yard where Xia Cheng lived, and when they were about to step forward, a voice suddenly came from the yard: "Brother, what you said is wrong. We are both fathers' sons. Why should we? You can’t go in and see his old man? His old man is seriously ill now, it is the time when we are doing our filial piety. What is your intention to make things difficult like this?" Just finished this, there were several echoing voices. Listen The voice is not just one person.
Hearing this sound, both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, who had just stepped out, paused involuntarily. The two looked at each other at the same time, with wry smiles on their faces. The owner of this voice, of course they could hear, was Xia Cheng's son Xia Ting. And they all heard the echoing voices. They were also Xia Cheng's other sons, including Xia Ting's third son, Xia Cheng's favorite.
Xia Cheng had many sons, and none of these sons were fuel-efficient lamps. Although Xia Cheng's eldest son was Xia Ziteng, before Xia Cheng was critically ill, he never mentioned which son he wanted to be the eldest son. In this way, it was natural that Xia Ziteng's younger brothers had other ideas. After all, no one is willing to succumb to others, especially when the talents of these young masters are not below Xia Ziteng's premise.
Before Xia Cheng was critically ill, these princes were already fighting hard, but there was Xia Cheng's suppression on them, and they didn't dare to be too blatant. But now that Xia Cheng is critically ill, the affairs of Xia Jiajun’s heirs have to be put on the surface. Regarding this matter, Xia Ziteng, Xia Ting and others can be said to be a little quarrel for three days, and one for five days. noisy. Zhang Sailiang has been here several times before, and almost every time he encounters these quarrels.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang still bite the bullet and walked into the yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw that the people in the yard were divided into two sides. Guarding at the door of the wing was a large group of soldiers. In the middle of the soldiers, wearing a black robe, it was Xia Cheng's eldest son Xia Ziteng. On the other side, there were only three people, but they were all sons of Master Xia.
The first person is Xia Cheng's second son, Xia Ting, while Xia Ting's third son Xia Wen and fourth son Xia Wu. All three of them were born to Erniang, brothers. Compared with Xia Ziteng, they are naturally much closer. Even if it is to earn a position, Xia Ting will be much better than Xia Ziteng. Therefore, in the past few days, the three brothers have also formed a team and united the front to deal with Xia Ziteng.
Of the three brothers, don't look at Xia Wen who is weak and weak, and he has no power to restrain his hands, but he is knowledgeable, and Xia Wen is the first of the brothers. Therefore, Xia Wen was also the first to take the lead, citing the classics and talking about a big deal, and finally expressed this purpose: you, Xia Ziteng, as the elder brother, do not allow our brothers to see daddy, that is, there is no human relationship!
It's just that although Xia Wen is eloquent, Xia Ziteng seems to have learned the skills of his fourth brother a long time ago. For Xia Wen's words, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, and he didn't care at all. At the end, he said: " Daddy is unwell, no one can see him."
In fact, everyone knows what Xia Ziteng thought, but he didn't want Xia Ting and others to see Xia Cheng at this critical moment. In any case, Xia Ziteng was also the eldest son. In terms of status, as long as Xia Cheng did not clearly refer to other brothers as heirs, Xia Ziteng could justly inherit Xia Cheng's position after Xia Cheng a hundred years later. So Xia Ziteng didn't want to have extra branches at this time, so Xia Ting and the others picked up the bargain.
After being played by Xia Ziteng like this, Xia Wen really felt like some talents met soldiers. Naturally, Xia Wu on the side wouldn't just let it go. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he winked at Xia Ting. Don't you want to come here? Then we will all be pretty.
Seeing Xia Ting's wink, Xia Wu, who had already been a little impatient, immediately noticed. He strode directly towards the door of the wing and shouted loudly: "I must meet my father today. I want to see, who dares to stop me?"
Xia Wu has a sturdy back, and he started fighting on the battlefield in his early years. Naturally, he was tainted with a lot of murderous aura. Walking toward this side so rampantly, it really scared the soldiers to retreat.
"Bold!" Xia Ziteng was also frightened by Xia Ting's behavior. After three steps back, his back was already attached to the door of the room. Only then did he ease his strength, and immediately shouted loudly: "This is Daddy Jing Rest place. How dare you be so presumptuous."
"Huh! Daddy rests quietly?" Xia Ting said at this time, with a cold smile, and said: "It sounds good. After Daddy fell ill, our brothers never saw Daddy again. You said Daddy is resting quietly, no Let us meet, then why are you staying here? What is the situation of Daddy now, it's all you talk about. Maybe, now Daddy has been harmed by you a long time ago."
"Nonsense." Xia Ting poured such a big shit bowl on Xia Ziteng's head. Where would Xia Ziteng be willing to let it go? Immediately pointing to Xia Ting and shouting: "What kind of horrible idea you have in your heart, do you really think I don't know? Do you think that you can succeed if you frame me like this? Ah! I know. You must want to rush into the room like this , Disturbing Daddy's recuperation, and pissing Daddy to death." As the saying goes, Xia Ziteng simply followed Xianting and put the hat on the heads of the three of them.
Now the brothers have become more quarrelsome. You accuse him of malicious intentions, and he accuses you of ulterior motives. In short, if someone who doesn't recognize them sees them, they won't believe that they are brothers at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are enemies.
Both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang stood at the door with bitter faces. Xia Cheng hasn't died yet, and these princes are in trouble. If Xia Cheng does go, wouldn't the Xia Family Army be in chaos. At that time, this Xia family's army will have **** inside and strong enemies outside. I am afraid that the hegemony that Xia Cheng and their important ministers have worked so hard for several years will fall apart in this way.
It's not a problem to watch them arguing like this. Both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang took a deep breath, and at the same time stepped forward, persuading Xia Ziteng and the others. It's just that, although Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang are both very hard-working, but it is a matter of their own future. Neither Xia Ziteng nor any of them would give in, and instead they quarreled more and more severely.
"Shut up all!" Just when the brothers were arguing more and more severely and they were about to start, suddenly a shout sounded. Xia Ziteng and the others are all arguing now, their eyes widened after being drunk like this, and they want to see who is so bold.
But when they moved their eyes to the direction where the sound was made, they were all dumbfounded and all knelt down. Not only them, but the soldiers beside them, as well as Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang who came to persuade them to fight. Kneeling down, everyone shouted in unison: "Farewell to adults (daddy)."
Xia Cheng's face was pale, supported by the handmaid, standing tremblingly at the door of the wing, but his pale cheeks and black lips showed that he was still seriously ill. Angrily glared at the brothers Xia Ziteng, and said coldly, "I'm not dead yet. You don't need to be so anxious to grab my place."
When Xia Cheng said so, the four brothers of Xia Ziteng were all lying on the ground and afraid to get up, and their heads were shocked in cold sweat. Don't look at Xia Cheng's illness now, but the majesty that Xia Cheng has accumulated over the years has been deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Xia Ziteng brothers. How can they dare to touch Xia Cheng's mold when Xia Cheng is angry
Xia Cheng snorted coldly, with a look of hatred for iron and steel, sipped, and yelled: "What are you doing here? Don't you just get out of here! A bunch of embarrassing things."
After being scolded by Xia Cheng, the Xia Ziteng brothers immediately left the yard in a desperate manner, but after leaving the yard, the three brothers Xia Ziteng and Xia Ting stared at each other fiercely and left each other. As for his sons, after they left, Xia Cheng also showed helplessness on his face, shook his head, and coughed again.
At this time, Xia Cheng said to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, who were still kneeling on the ground: "Brothers of the Zhang family, do you come to me for something important? Come in and talk." After finishing speaking, he motioned to the two maids who supported him. , Sent myself back to the room.
With Xia Cheng's permission, Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang also hurriedly stood up. Although they were as afraid of Xia Cheng as the Xia Ziteng brothers, their faces were a little bit more joyful at the moment. When Xia Cheng woke up, he could make decisions about many things. The two of them immediately followed Xia Cheng into the wing room.
In the wing, with the help of the maids, Xia Cheng leaned directly on the couch and slightly covered her stomach with a quilt. At the same time, a maid next to her also dampened a silk scarf with water quickly and put it on. Xia Cheng's forehead. With this cold silk scarf covering his forehead, Xia Cheng turned his gaze to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, and said slowly: "Let's talk, what's the bad news?"
Although the tone of Xia Cheng's words was very plain, it fell in the ears of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, but they couldn't help but shake their whole bodies, and looked at each other with a little embarrassment. Although they hurriedly wanted to find Xia Cheng to explain the matter, but when it came to the end, they didn't dare to speak anymore. They had learned about Xia Shanyue's death before, so they made Xia Cheng look like this. Tell Xia Cheng the whole thing, Xia Cheng couldn't get angry immediately.
Seeing the appearance of Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, Xia Cheng sighed and shook his head. His eyes were narrowed, and he still said in a flat tone: "Let's say it. Did Brother Huai lose? Now? Don’t worry, I’m not that easy to die yet."
Xia Cheng had said this, and Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang naturally did not dare to conceal it anymore. Zhang Sailiang immediately handed over the military information Zhang Sailiang had given him before, and handed it over to Xia Cheng by the maid. Although Xia Cheng said lightly just now, when he got the military information, he seemed to understand that there would be no good news in this military information, and his hands couldn't help shaking.
Slowly uncovering the kit, I read the military information inside from beginning to end, and while watching this military information, Xia Cheng's hands slowly calmed down. In the end, Xia Cheng took a deep breath. He breathed, slowly twisted the military sentiment in his hand into a ball, placed it under him, and calmly said to Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang: "Then what is going on in Quzhou?"
Seeing Xia Cheng's appearance, both Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Xia Cheng was not angry about this incident. However, they didn't notice. Xia Cheng put his hand under the quilt, but stubbornly grasped his hand into a fist, and the cyan tendons violent.
Zhang Sailiang recounted the situation in Quzhou. According to the reports of Xia's spies planted at the border of Quzhou and Xinzhou, the Quzhou army did not seem to continue to march westward and invade the south. Yang Huai, who stayed behind in Dongguan, also planned to wait for Zhang Dingtian's injury to stabilize slightly before leading his army back to Shangrao to plead guilty.
After listening to Zhang Sailiang’s answer, after a long while, Xia Cheng sighed. The hand in the quilt slowly loosened, raised his hand and said to Zhang Sailiang: "Forget it, you don’t need to mention it anymore. Yes. You send someone to inform Brother Huai that this defeat is not his fault, so that he does not have to be too guilty, and the most important thing is to heal the top day’s injury. By the way, did Zhang Huaxuan and Sai be informed about this matter? Marshal Zhuge Hu?"
"Return to Sir. I have already informed Master Zhang and Master Hu." Zhang Sailiang immediately replied. Just now, Zhang Sailiang and him were ready for both hands. If Xia Cheng does not wake up, they will be with Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge. Discuss how to deal with this matter. Therefore, Zhang Sailiang asked Zhang Sailiang to inform Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge early.
"Yeah!" Xia Cheng nodded, and then said: "This is not the place for discussion. After I change my clothes, we will go to the discussion palace together to wait for Marshal Zhang Huaxuan and Sai Zhuge Hu to come, and then discuss the results." The wing room itself is not big. Xia Cheng and these maids, together with Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, are already too crowded. If Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge are added, it would be a bit too crowded, so Xia Cheng It is more appropriate to decide to go to the conference palace together.
Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang naturally did not dare to deny what Xia Cheng decided. Although a little worried about Xia Cheng's body, seeing Xia Cheng like this, there should be no problem. The two immediately bowed to Xia Cheng, and backed out, waiting for Xia Cheng to change clothes. After a while, Xia Cheng, who had changed his court clothes, rushed to the discussion palace with Zhang Sailiang and Zhang Sailiang, supported by the maidservant, and Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge also arrived at this time.
After the two saluted Xia Cheng, they took their seats. The results of the Quzhou war had been made clear by the people Zhang Sailiang sent to find them, so the faces of Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge were not very good-looking. When Xia Cheng saw everyone sitting down, he said directly: "Everyone, now the Quzhou plan has failed. I believe it won't be long before Song Jun will use this as an excuse to attack us. What good plans can you guys have?"
Zhang Huaxuan and Hu Zhuge glanced at each other. In fact, since the news of Xia Shanyue's death in the battle in Quzhou a few days ago, they had guessed the end. Had it not been for Xia Cheng's sudden illness, they would have told Xia We sincerely recommend withdrawal. However, in the past few days, the two of them are not doing nothing, but often get together to discuss what to do next, so when Xia Cheng asks this, Zhang Huaxuan immediately replied, "My lord. Policy."
Among the Xia's military counsellors, although Hu Zhuge and Zhang Huaxuan were equally resourceful, Xia Cheng obviously trusted Zhang Huaxuan more. So after Zhang Huaxuan said this, Xia Cheng's eyes lit up, and his ailing face was much better. , Said: "Oh? Zhang Huaxuan has a good plan? That's great. You can come quickly."
