Chapter 108: The King of Kings Arrives in Chang'an

"Second Young Master">, Third Girl! I don't dare to treat you as you left the city in person!"

When Wang Zuo and others learned that Wang Zuo and others were about to arrive in Chang'an, Wang Yi led Wang Tan, Wang Fu and others to welcome him twenty miles out of Chang'an City. After they arrived at the welcome place, they encountered Wang Zuo and his group. Wang Zuo saw Wang Yi bringing him out to welcome him, and could not suppress his surprise, so he saluted from afar.

Wang Yi strode forward and supported Wang Zuo who wanted to give a great gift. "Uncle Zuo, we are all worried when we learned that you were sick in Yangzhou. Fortunately, you have finally arrived in Chang'an safely, and we have let go of our hanging hearts!"

I haven't seen each other for more than a year, so it is naturally a very happy scene. Wang Zuo and others couldn't hide their excitement. When they greeted Wang Yi and Wang Tan, they were a little choked, and Wang Yi was also very moved.

When he was in Hangzhou, Wang Zuo was like a kind father, caring for him very much. Wang Yi had extraordinary feelings for Wang Zuo. Today, regardless of Wang Fu's repeated dissuasion, he personally took a large group of people out of the city to greet him.

"Thank you for your concern," Wang Zuo looked a little crying, and sighed a little while speaking. "Second Young Master">I haven't seen you for more than a year since I came to Chang'an last year. I really wish I could arrive in Chang'an one day earlier and meet the second master." However, I have been delayed in Yangzhou for a long time, and it has been so long after the New Year that I have arrived in Chang'an, which makes the second master worry and my brothers. I am really sorry!"

Wang Zuo set off from Hangzhou under the order of Wang Yi in mid-November and came to Chang'an. When he arrived in Yangzhou, he suffered from cold and fell seriously ill. It took about two months to get better. However, when the illness was cured, the weather was not satisfactory. Several consecutive heavy snowfalls hindered the trip. Because of the wind and snow, the group walked very slowly. It was already the first month when he arrived in Luoyang.

Because there are still some things to be dealt with in Luoyang, Wang Zuo and others stayed for nearly a month until they were all handled and headed for Chang'an. When they arrived in Chang'an, it was already the brightest March day.

After Wang Yi and Wang Fu learned that Wang Zuo was sick, it was already the end of the year. They were also very anxious and immediately sent someone to respond.

Wang Yi originally asked Wang Fu to go and answer in person, but after thinking about it for a while, Wang Fu still rejected Wang Yi's proposal.

It was the Chinese New Year, and Wang Yi was often summoned by Li Shimin to ask about things. There was no other person in charge in the mansion, and Wang Yi did not marry. As a concubine, Su Yan could not interfere in the mansion's affairs. He, the housekeeper in the mansion, would definitely not leave at this time, otherwise the mansion would be in chaos. Therefore, Wang Fu only sent a few subordinates with good skills and experience to go to the support.

However, Wang Fu was still very worried, afraid that his father would have an accident. Fortunately, the news came later that Wang Zuo and others were safe, which made everyone feel relieved.

"Uncle Zuo, just be safe. Brother Fu knows that you have recovered from your health, and I don't know how happy you are!" Wang Yi said as he smiled at Wang Fu behind him, and stepped back, asking Wang Fu and others to come forward to salute.

Wang Fu stepped forward, knelt down in front of Wang Zuo, kowtowed three times respectfully, and then raised his head, "Father, the child is unfilial. When you are seriously ill, you are unable to serve you. Please punish me!"

Wang Zuo quickly helped Wang Fu, who was covered in tears, wiped his eyes, "Fu'er, you are doing things around the second son"> and fulfilling your responsibilities for your father is the greatest filial piety to his father. His father may not be able to serve the second son again in the future. You have to do everything about the second son!"

"I must listen to my father's teachings and I will never dare to make any mistakes!" Wang Fu bowed to Wang respectfully again, but his eyes glared at the little boy standing trembling behind his father.

Wang Yi also noticed the little boy behind Wang Zuo, who was only about ten years old.

"Second Young Master">, this is Chen Jiao, the second son of my old man. It's a great blessing. After five or six years, this son has saved his life and can find Hangzhou from the Jianghuai area hundreds of miles away. This is all the good deeds of the second son">" Wang Zuo brought over the little boy hiding behind him, "Jiao'er, salute the second son"> and the third girl!"

Wang Zuo was quite moved when he spoke, but he was also very pleased. He originally thought that except for his son Wang Fu, the rest of his family had died in the chaos, but unexpectedly, Chen Jiao, the second son, who was only three years old when the rebels were in chaos, actually escaped from the chaos under the escort of several soldiers. After six or seven years, he came to Hangzhou.

Chen Jiaohe and the people who protected him did not know where Wang Zuo was hiding. Because of their difficulties, they had to try their best to make a living, even steal and beg. When they were receiving the alms and food in Mengxianglou, they were accidentally recognized by their former companions. Finally, Chen Jiao was reunited with Wang Zuo and others. After receiving the reward, Wang Zuo hurried to Hangzhou from Guiyunzhuang. When they saw their second son, they were excited and burst into tears. The scene at that time made many people cry.

In recent years, the remnants of the Jianghuai Army and their families have been sent to Hangzhou, and some have been reunited with their families. Wang Zuo therefore instructed his subordinates to spread these charitable opportunities in Hangzhou and other places, with the aim of hoping to find more lost Jianghuai Army soldiers and their families.

The initial proposal to give alms and porridge was proposed by Wang Yi. Through this channel, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army and their families all praised the second son. "> This kind of good deed, when Wang Zuo and his second son Chen Zuo recognized each other, raised the praise of Wang Yi to the highest level. Therefore, in his letter to Wang Fu, Wang Fu repeatedly asked Wang Fu to follow Wang Yi and handle the matter for Wang Yi as a reward, and so the incident of Wang Fu asking Wang Yi to be the housekeeper in front of Wang Yi.

However, Wang Yi did not expect that his accidental action that day would bring so many surprises to the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army. He also instructed Wang Zuo to disperse the wealth they had accumulated over the years, except for one of them as an out-of-time need, as others who thought that the wandering people gave alms, food, and clothes.

These accumulated wealth cannot be dedicated to the court, as it will cause great trouble, and of course it will not be possible to hide it all the time, and lose the value of wealth. Doing good deeds for the poor people in the world is a good thing. If you use the words of Wang Zu and others, you should regard it as accumulating good virtue for Wang Yi.

After taking in Chen Jiao, Wang Zuo devoted most of his efforts to this lost son, hoping to teach him a person as outstanding as Wang Fu.

Because of such a change, Chen Jiao's personality is a bit strange and suspicious. He doesn't say much and doesn't like to see strangers. This is a headache for Wang Zuo. When he saw Wang Yi and others today, he hid behind his father Wang Zuo and did not dare to stand up.

It was not until his father took it out that Chen Jiao walked forward tremblingly, with a pair of eyes with a little frightened, looked at Wang Yi, and then looked at Wang Fu, who was shining with tears in his eyes, and then looked at the others. Then hesitated to go forward and salute: "I have seen the second young master">, the third girl... I have seen the eldest brother... I have seen all uncles!" After that, he hid behind Wang Zuo again.

Wang Yi signaled that he wanted to give up the king whom Chen Jiao took out. Wang smiled apologetically and signaled the others to come forward to salute.

Following the others who followed Wang Yi out of the city to greet him, including Wang Tanye, came forward to greet Wang Zuo and others.

After the etiquette was over, Wang Yi greeted everyone, "Uncle Zuo, uncles, we have worked hard all the way, let's go to the city first! When we get to the mansion, we will talk again. We have prepared a banquet to welcome you! Please!"

"Second Young Master">, please!"

This time Wang Zuo and others came, and there was no need to be as careful as Wang Yi, Wang Jin and others when they came to Chang'an. The emperor had already comforted Wang Yi and others. Wang Jin and others had also given official positions and went to various places to serve. Moreover, Wang Yi also told Li Shimin about Wang Zuo and others coming to Chang'an in advance that Wang Yi still went out of the city to welcome Wang Zuo and his party on the order of Li Shimin. Wang Zuo and others could enter Chang'an City in a noble way.

Wang Yi set up a banquet in his mansion to entertain the former generals of the Jianghuai Army who came to Chang'an.

During the meal, Wang Zuo and others also told Wang Yi and others about the journey along the way to Chang'an.

When Wang Zuo and his party arrived in Luoyang, they met Wang Ang, who was ordered to go to Jianghuai as a pacifier of Jiangnan Road. In Jiangnan, they met Wang Ang, who recruited the former subordinates of the Jianghuai Army in Jiangnan. In Luoyang, Wang Zuo and Wang Ang discussed for two days separately and told Wang Ang about the remnants of the Jianghuai Army, including their place of destination, contact method, name of the leader, etc.

Those former subordinates of the Jianghuai Army will stand up again through Wang Ang’s open and secret investigation to Jiangnan Road this time and accept the court’s pacification.

But Wang Zuo still didn't tell Wang Ang about the matter in Hangzhou, that it belonged to Wang Yi, and Wang Zuo didn't want Wang Ang to share it.

Wang Zuo traveled along the way, and in addition to getting sick in Yangzhou, it was also related to the need to arrange along the way. Many things need to be taken care of, but it became slow to come. Wang Zuo's illness was also related to the fatigue of his body because he had handled too much.

The two people have not met each other for nearly a year. When they meet again this time, they are very moved and have a lot of fun drinking and talking.

Most of the people were drunk, and none of the people who came with the king were spared. Wang Yi felt drunk too much, and finally was helped back to the house by Su Yan, who had been worried.

After two days of rest, Wang Zuo and others followed Wang Yi to the palace to meet Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin had received Wang Yi's report a few days ago, he knew that Wang Jin and others came to Chang'an to meet the saint. Li Shimin also paid enough attention to the general under Wang Xiongdan and interviewed Wang in a side hall.

Wang Yi did not ask Wang Zuo what Li Shimin said to him. After Wang Zuo hesitated for a few times, he finally didn't say anything Wang Yi said.

A few days later, Li Shimin issued an edict ordering Wang Zuo to restore the Chen surname and to be appointed as the deputy governor of Lingzhou, the fourth rank, and to take office on a date.

Other former Jianghuai generals who came to Chang'an with Wang Zuo also had different appointments, but they had one thing in common, that is, they were all released and served as officials from other places, including Sima from Shangzhou, Bijia from Xiazhou, Sima and other positions...
