Chapter 696

Tang Yin is also somewhat dissatisfied with Lei Zhen. He has come to ask for resignation again and again. Doesn't he think that he is a jackal, tiger or leopard? Is it so difficult for him to accept joining the army?

Seeing that his expression was not good, Tang Zhong did not dare to say anything more, bowed and saluted, and responded: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin didn't want to see Lei Zhen, and the latter couldn't force him, and he didn't dare to leave Yancheng without Tang Yin's permission.

Early the next morning, Lei Zhen came to the palace again and asked to see Tang Yin. This time Tang Yin agreed to see him.

When Lei Zhen saw Tang Yin, the latter was eating, and at the same table with him was Qiu Zhen, the Prime Minister of the Left.

Lei Zhen saluted the two of them and said hello respectfully. Tang Yin looked at him, smiled, and asked, "I heard that you were waiting for me all afternoon yesterday?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lei Zhen said with his head down.

"I entered the palace yesterday to discuss state affairs with the emperor. When I came back in the evening, I was really tired. You don't blame me, do you?" Tang Yinxiao asked.

"I don't dare." Lei Zhen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly raised his hands and saluted again. Even if he had great dissatisfaction in his heart, he would not dare to admit it frankly in front of Tang Yin.

"That's good." Tang Yin waved and said, "Sit over and eat together!"

ah? Lei Zhen wondered if he had heard wrongly. What was Tang Yin's identity? He was the king of a country. It was unbelievable that he wanted to eat with a commoner like himself. While he was dazed, Tang Yin had already ordered the servant below to prepare another set of tableware.

"Your Majesty, my dear..." Lei Zhen came back to his senses and hurriedly wanted to refuse. Tang Yin cut him off and said, "You came so early and you must not have eaten breakfast. It will be very harmful to your health if you don't eat breakfast. After eating, , I will take you to meet two people."

Lei Zhen was stunned and asked: "I wonder who the king wants to take the villain to see?"

Tang Yin pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "You will know after we meet."

The breakfast at Wangfu was very good, with cool and refreshing side dishes, delicious clear soup, and snacks that melted in your mouth, but Lei Zhen couldn't taste it. He seemed very nervous to have dinner at the same table with Tang Yin. In addition, he was also full of curiosity. He didn't know who Tang Yin was taking him to meet. He didn't remember any old acquaintances in Yancheng.

After finally finishing the breakfast, when he saw Tang Yin standing up, Lei Zhen hurriedly followed suit. Tang Yin smiled at him and said: "The two people I take you to see must be the ones you want to see the most."

After hearing this, Lei Zhen became even more curious, wondering what kind of medicine Tang Yin was selling in his gourd.

Qiu Zhen was always smiling and silent. Now he was looking forward to what would happen when Lei Zhen suddenly saw his parents in Yancheng.

Tang Yin ordered Tang Zhong to prepare his horses. He was about to travel. He also sent someone to the Youxiang Mansion to inform Shangguan Yuanji and ask him to attend the morning court in his stead.

After leaving the palace, Tang Yin, Qiu Zhen, and Lei Zhen rode straight to the homes of Lei's father and Lei's mother.

On the way, Lei Zhen was extremely curious and wanted to ask several times, but seeing Tang Yin's inscrutable look, he swallowed the question once it reached his lips. Anyway, he had made up his mind. No matter who Tang Yin asked him to meet, he would take this opportunity to resign from Tang Yin and return to his hometown.

After walking for less than half an hour, Tang Yin reined in the reins in front of a large house, stopped, turned around and said to Lei Zhen, "We're here."

Lei Zhen looked up and saw that although the house was not a mansion, it occupied a large area. Looking up, he saw the two characters "Lei Mansion" written on the plaque above the door, which shocked Lei Zhen. There are not many people with the surname Lei in the world. Tang Yin brought himself to this Lei Mansion. Could it be that its owner is his relative?

But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. My relatives were all commoners, and I had never heard of anyone having such a big house in the capital.

Seeing Lei Zhen's face changing from gloomy to bright, Tang Yin secretly laughed in his heart, turned over and dismounted, shook his head and said: "Lei Zhen, don't be cautious when you get here, follow me in!"

Lei Zhen followed Tang Yin blankly into the house.

At this time, the door of the palace had already been opened, and dozens of servants were standing on both sides. Seeing Tang Yin approaching, people knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"

Tang Yin kept walking and headed straight for the lobby inside.

There were three people in the lobby, an old couple with gray hair and a middle-aged man in official uniform.

Seeing Tang Yin striding in from the outside, the middle-aged official hurriedly whispered to the old couple: "The king is here, salute quickly!"

"Little... little man... I have met the king!" The old couple knelt down and kowtowed, their voices trembling violently when they spoke.

Tang Yin rushed forward, helped the two old men up with a smile, and said, "You two old men, you don't have to be polite!"

Lei Zhen, who had followed Tang Yin recently, raised his eyes and looked inside. Others could not see clearly, only the old couple could be seen clearly.

His eyes suddenly widened and he wondered if he was dazzled. He couldn't help but rub his eyes hard and looked again. Yes, this old couple was none other than his old parents.

Although he did not wear the usual shabby clothes, but changed into brocade clothes, Lei Zhen would not admit his mistakes to his parents. He was stunned for a long time, and then subconsciously exclaimed: "Father? Mother? You... why are your two elders here?"

Completely opposite to Lei Zhen, there was no trace of surprise on the faces of Lei's father and Lei's mother. They first looked at Tang Yin cautiously, then showed displeasure and said, "What did you say, kid? This is you." Where would we be if we weren’t here?”

"Home?" Lei Zhen felt like his nerves were going crazy. When did he have a home in Yancheng, and when did his parents arrive in Yancheng? Why didn't I hear any news?

Seeing Lei Zhen standing there dumbfounded for a long time, unable to recover, Tang Yin chuckled. Qiu Zhen walked to Lei Zhen and said seriously: "Lei Zhen, you are now the Viscount of Dafeng. This house is a reward from the king." Your uncle and aunt were also sent to the capital by order of the king. How can my parents, Viscount Dafeng, be ordinary hunters anymore, not to mention that my uncle and parents have worked hard all their lives, and now they should enjoy peace and happiness."

"..."

ah! Now Lei Zhen understood everything. No wonder the king wanted to grant him the title of Viscount. It turned out that he had planned it long ago. He wanted to take the opportunity to give himself a mansion and tie himself to the capital. It was completely true that the king wanted to let him go or stay after the competition. What a lie, he had no intention of letting himself go.

It's good now. My parents have been taken here. Why should I go back home? This is my home.

Of course Lei Zhen felt uncomfortable with Tang Yin deceiving him like this, but Tang Yin was willing to spend so much effort to keep him, which moved him extremely. Especially when Tang Yin brought Lei's father and mother to Yancheng, Lei Zhen was particularly heartbroken. , I am afraid that except for Tang Yin, no other monarch can spend so much time on a commoner like him.

He took a deep breath, walked slowly to his parents, bent his knees, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said, "Mom, dad, I'd like to pay my respects to you two elders." After a pause, he asked again: "This Are you still used to living in Yancheng for a while? "

After asking, he immediately regretted it and felt that what he asked was nonsense.

Just looking at the two elders' rosy faces and beaming smiles, he already knew that his parents must have been living comfortably and happily in Yancheng during this period. They were not forced or held hostage by the king.

"Okay, okay." The old lady laughed first and said, "It's big and comfortable here. There's food, clothing, and everything you need. There are more than a dozen servants here, and the neighbors are also very nice. Son. , if you can make a difference, your father and mother will be happy for you. These are all given to you by the king, so you have to work hard for the king!"

Both Lei's father and Lei's mother are rough people, and they can't speak any big principles, but they are very simple and understand the principle of repaying kindness.

This is what Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen want to see most.

Lei Zhen felt like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't point it out. No matter whether the king was acting or deliberately pretending, he would be satisfied if he could see his parents so happy.

He knelt on the ground and did not get up. He turned around and kowtowed to Tang Yin again, saying: "Your Majesty's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by me. I am willing to join the army and serve my country with all my loyalty. However, I also have a request. Please, Your Majesty." Yes."

The expressions of Lei's father and Lei's mother also changed. Is this kid crazy? He actually negotiated terms with the king? The second elder looked at Tang Yin worriedly, then scolded him dissatisfiedly: "Zhen'er..."

Tang Yin waved his hands to the two elders, then looked down at Lei Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Lei Zhen, what do you want?"

Lei Zhen took a deep breath, raised his head, met Tang Yin's eyes, and said sternly: "After the villain surrenders to the army, he will not leave the Feng Kingdom for half a step. If a powerful enemy comes, the villain will be shattered to pieces and will not hesitate to die, but if The king is sending his troops on an expedition, please keep me at home. This is my only request.”

When Tang Yin heard this, he immediately frowned.

Even Qiu Zhen felt very uncomfortable. To surrender to the army is to surrender to the army. When you are in the army, you have to obey the general's orders. How can there be any reason to stay at home instead of going out to fight? This Lei Zhen is simply an arrogant creature, so arrogant.

Qiu Zhen originally thought that Tang Yin would object and be furious, but he stared at Lei Zhen for a long time, his expression slowly softened, and he sighed softly: "Lei Zhen, you made such a request to honor your parents, right? "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lei Zhen said with a sad look on his face: "The villain's two brothers both died in a foreign land... After the villain surrendered to the army, even if he died on the battlefield, he would die in the Feng Kingdom... I hope your Majesty Haihan will die. "

Tang Yin nodded and said quietly: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety, but I believe that as a person, you should first be filial, and secondly be loyal. If you are not filial to your parents, how can you serve the country? Where is Zhongzhong? Your request has been approved by me!”
