Chapter 1608 1610【Hanging Seal Gold】
In the seventh year of Zhengde, Qiuxue gave birth to a son for Junbao.
Jun Bao was overjoyed, and after much thought, he named the child Zhang Xuzhi.
I hope that my son can learn with an open mind, be as humble as possible, be extremely humble, and become a man of virtue who is pure in heart, quiet and far-reaching.
Seeing that Qiuxue married earlier than herself, everyone had children, and she married earlier, but until now, her belly has not moved, Xiaodonggua couldn't help but feel very depressed.
"Why can't I have a baby while others can." She complained to Xiang Nan.
"Having a baby depends on luck. Don't worry, maybe we will have one soon." Xiang Nan persuaded.
Xiao Wengua was still a little displeased, but had no choice but to nod.
Xiang Nan also felt that this matter was strange. It stands to reason that he and Xiaodonggua have been married for two years, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very harmonious. But it's a bit strange to have no children.
He speculated that one of them might have infertility, such as blocked fallopian tubes, low survival rate of tadpoles, and so on. But without the right equipment, he couldn't do a detailed inspection.
However, whether there are children or not, it doesn't really affect Xiang Nan very much.
Because the most important purpose of his trip is martial arts, as for the others, they are all trivial matters. It doesn't matter if you have it or not.
…
In July of the seventh year of Zhengde, Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebel army was defeated in Jeju. Liu Liu gave the leadership, and Liu Qi led the army to fight in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But because the south is full of water and the canals are criss-crossed, the people use boats as horses.
Therefore, it is difficult for Liu Qi's cavalry to deploy in the Jiangnan area. In the end, he was defeated steadily and retreated to Langshan in Tongzhou, where he was besieged to death by officers and soldiers.
After Liu Liu and Liu Qi's uprising failed, the imperial court was finally able to gather troops and went to Heluo again to quell the rebellion.
Soldiers from the Beijing Battalion, Shanxi-Shaanxi Frontier Army, Huguang soldiers, and Jiangsu-Zhejiang regiments all marched towards the Heluo area, putting great pressure on the rebels.
Before, the reason why they were able to survive was mainly due to the scattered forces of the imperial court. Rebellions broke out everywhere, and troops had to be divided to put out the fire.
But now, all the major rebellions have been wiped out, leaving only sporadic rebellions, so the imperial court was able to concentrate its forces on the crusade.
Most of the soldiers of the imperial court were well-trained, experienced, well-equipped and experienced, so they quickly defeated these rebels.
Plus being in the encirclement, there is no way to escape if you want to escape, so you can only catch him without a fight. By September, there were thirty-six rebel families in the Heluo area, and more than ten families had been wiped out.
The remaining 20 or more families either accept the recruitment, or are trapped and desperate, but the end is self-evident. Whether recruiting security or continuing to fight, the end result is almost death.
…
Xiang Nan saw this and was ready.
Just as the imperial army approached the city, Xiang Nan had already hung the seal to seal the gold, and led all the disciples to leave Luoyang City and return to Laojun Temple.
Of course, besides Deng Chang and others, there is also an elite team of 300 people, all carefully selected by Xiang Nan in the past two years. They are both talented and loyal, and they are going to bring back to Laojunshan to inherit the martial arts of Taijimen.
So when the imperial army arrived, all they saw were the people in the city, and the imperial edicts, jade seals, and Taoist uniforms from the imperial court enshrined in the yamen.
In the treasury, silver, gold, and grain are all listed, and there is no shortage of them.
He led the army to suppress the rebellion all the way, and wherever he went, there were basically ten houses and nine empty houses, the countryside was deserted, the bones filled the wild, and the market was depressed. Only the tens of miles around Luoyang were peaceful, prosperous and prosperous. Entering the city, it is even more bustling and lively, comparable to the capital city.
If it weren't for Youdao real people, how could they manage so well.
…
Yang Yiqing then went to Laojun Mountain to pay a visit to Xiang Nan.
But when they came to the mountain, they learned from the disciples that Xiang Nan had traveled all over the world and was not on the mountain.
Only one poem was left, "One straw hat, one boat, one foot of silk and one inch hook. One song and one bottle of wine, one person alone fishing one river and autumn." Signed, Tai Chi real person.
Yang Yiqing admired Xiang Nan's conduct even more when he saw this poem.
Flick off your clothes and hide your achievements and fame deeply. You really deserve to be a man of virtue.
"My lord, this Taiji master has repeatedly violated the holy will, and the emperor ordered him to be deported back to Beijing." The subordinate general suggested.
Before, the imperial court asked Xiang Nan to surrender publicly many times, and led troops to assist in countering the rebellion, but Xiang Nan refused. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was very dissatisfied, and this time he ordered Yang Yiqing to quell the rebellion, and he also ordered Xiang Nan to be arrested and deported to Beijing for a crime of violating the imperial edict.
"The general is out, and the king's order is not acceptable." Yang Yiqing waved his hand.
Let's not say that Xiang Nan is a man of righteousness, he has made great contributions to protecting the environment and the people. Even if it is really necessary to catch him, it is not so easy.
He could see that Laojun Mountain was dangerously situated, easy to defend and difficult to attack. No wonder Liu Jin led an army of 10,000 to attack, but also ended up defeated.
In addition, Xiang Nan is well-known in the Heluo area. When the people mention him, they give thumbs up. Even in the villagers' homes and in the ancestral halls, there are enshrined tablets of Taiji Daoist's longevity, which shows Xiang Nan's reputation in the hearts of the people.
If Xiang Nan was to be arrested, even if the imperial court sent a hundred thousand troops, they might not be able to catch him. Moreover, Heluo, which has just been pacified, is likely to have another disturbance.
At that time, Xiang Nan will rise up. With his reputation, it will not be difficult to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops.
And he was able to take care of the huge Luoyang city in an orderly manner while surrounded by powerful enemies. It can also be seen that he is very experienced in leading troops and fighting internal affairs, and he is not like Liu Liu and Liu Qi, who have no ink and no ink. Bandits.
Therefore, once he starts a riot, it will be a big deal, and he will definitely cause chaos in the world. Maybe it can overthrow the country and rebuild the universe.
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing naturally did not dare to take such a risk.
…
Therefore, after the rebels in the Heluo area were wiped out, Yang Yiqing returned to Beijing and returned to his command, praising Xiang Nan as a real person.
Being pure-hearted, honest and upright, loving the people like a son, and being talented and broad-minded is really a blessing for the country and the community. It should be rewarded, not wiped out.
Other officials of the imperial court, such as Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, etc., also agreed with Yang Yiqing's approach after listening to Yang Yiqing's opinion.
For Xiang Nan, who has a high reputation and has no obvious faults, he should appease rather than provoke him. After all, the imperial court suppressed the rebellion for three years, the treasury was empty, the soldiers were exhausted, the people were poor, and all industries were depressed.
It is advisable to rest and recuperate, and it is not advisable to start disputes again.
Emperor Zhengde heard that the ministers agreed, so he couldn't blame Xiang Nan anymore.
Therefore, I can only agree with the proposals of the ministers, appease Xiang Nanduo, and grant him the title of "Fengtian Fuguo Loyalty and Purdue Real Man", with a rank ratio of three thousand stones and two thousand hectares of land, which is comparable to the treatment of a county king. This is to show the emperor's generosity and benevolence, to comfort the environment and calm the people.
