Chapter 368: Dayu died and Da Qi rose.
Winter passes quickly.
The snow in Chang'an melted and fell again, fell and melted again.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month.
After several battles and negotiations, Helian Shuchi was returned to Tiele Khan, but Tiele Khan suffered heavy losses.
Tiele Khan's army not only had to withdraw from the Guannei Road, but also had to pay a large amount of gold, silver, cattle, horses and sheep as compensation.
Tiele Khan naturally disagreed at first, but they suffered several severe setbacks on the battlefield and almost had their hometown attacked, so they had to agree.
After the war, the army returned to Chang'an with the money and supplies as compensation from Tiele Khan to report.
The soldiers who returned were obviously very happy.
Because not only am I alive, but I can also catch up with the Chinese New Year when I come back.
In the northwest, the Xue family army had also sent news earlier, reassuring the people in the capital that the offensive of the Hunxie Kingdom was not strong and the Hu people had been beaten to the point of evacuating the northwest.
Xue Yucheng once wrote a letter in his own handwriting, in which he said frankly:
[Zi Xin, stay in Chang'an and just carry out your plan without worrying about the future. When your great cause is accomplished, I will return to Chang'an to celebrate the event together.]
Hao Ren felt relieved after receiving the letter.
He also hoped that Xue Yucheng could return to Beijing as soon as possible.
After Hao Ren returned to Chang'an City, he officially restored Pei Lingyun's identity.
He once again announced Murong Yu's evil deeds to the world, and declared that the previous dynasty had perished and established a new dynasty.
The name of the new dynasty was Qi.
The ruler and his ministers are of one mind, and the people are of one family.
Dayu died and Dayu rose.
The news spread to every province and state.
Pei family's former disciples, friends, distant relatives, Xue family army, Black Mountain army, as well as Wei Dashuan and Qin Xiao's former subordinates, all supported Pei Lingyun's ascension to the throne.
Of course, some people have objections and some people are dissatisfied.
However, considering the huge disparity in military strength, those who have objections can only express them privately.
After Chang'an City was taken over again by Pei Lingyun and others, many people returned to the capital one after another.
Most of these people were those who had escaped from the capital at the time but did not get too far, or those who were already living in nearby towns but wanted to move to Chang'an.
The Yan family was among the first group of people returning to Beijing.
Old Madam Yan and Third Miss Yan ran away decisively and came back decisively.
Because Yuan Chi and Yuan Caiwei would not leave Chang'an, Madam Yuan would never leave, so Old Madam Yan and Miss Yan San also stayed here to accompany them.
Madam Yan said, "There are only a few of us left at home. It's better to be together wherever we go."
They are all back now.
Standing in front of the gate of the Yan Mansion, which was mostly burned, Miss Yan San was busy arranging servants to clean and repair the mansion.
Madam Yuan supported her mother and said, "When we go out and return to Chang'an, the world will be completely different."
Madam Yan was calm and composed, brushing her hair:
"So what if the world changes? The sky hasn't fallen. No matter if your surname is Murong or Pei, people in this world will still live their lives as usual."
In addition to the Yan Mansion, many other burned-down houses are also being repaired. Those that cannot be repaired are simply demolished and rebuilt.
Su Zhizhi has been very busy recently.
She started a new experience in her life - renovating a house.
There are not enough people in the capital now. Both Pei Mansion and Heishan Mansion need to be repaired, so Su Zhizhi has to run around to help.
When everyone was making the renovation plan, they also asked Su Zhizhi for a lot of opinions and asked her what kind of house she liked.
The villagers remembered that Zhizhi had once said that she envied Hua Erniang's fragrant house and large courtyard in the Five Poison Valley, so they arranged that for Zhizhi.
Qiu Jinyu said, "These old houses in the capital are due for a major renovation. It's a good time to renovate them now and then move into the new houses later."
Hua Erniang said, "Yu Rubai and I have to build two courtyards. Otherwise, every time I make poison, he will secretly watch from the side and make the antidote directly."
Yu Rubai pulled Hua Erniang's sleeve with a bit of displeasure: "Then I won't watch it anymore. We should still live in the same yard."
Old Man Qin was thinking about digging a few more cellars in the mansion:
"After digging the cellars, we'll connect them with tunnels. Then, after we finish our meal in front, we can go back to the yard through the underground tunnel."
Other villagers didn't quite understand why they chose to go underground instead of walking on the road above ground.
But after being together for so many years, everyone knows that each of them has some strange habits and ideas.
Pei Lingyun said that they were able to get together thanks to everyone's ability to "seek common ground while reserving differences."
Su Zhizhi stood on the roof, carefully studying the roof beam structure, and found that there was a lot of knowledge inside an ordinary roof.
When she was tired, she sat on the roof and saw that there were more and more people on the street outside.
Po stood beside Su Zhizhi, flapping his wings.
Su Zhizhi said to Abao:
"Abao, when you're flying in the sky, do you look at people like grass seeds?"
Gu——gu——
Abao called out twice.
Su Zhizhi touched Po's wings.
She remembered that in Lingnan, the hillsides were covered with grass everywhere.
The wind blows away the grass seeds, and wherever the seeds fall, they take root and grow vigorously.
"Uncle Xu used to say that the people in the capital were all cattle and horses, but now I feel that the people in the capital are also like grass seeds and seeds."
As long as there are grass seeds and seeds, there will be eternal life.
The old Chang'an City was destroyed, and a newer and larger Chang'an City would rise from the ground.
However, not everyone is busy just repairing the house.
The entire family of Old Master Zhang also returned.
Inside the Zhang residence, there was chaos because of the old man's health.
Old Tutor Zhang had refused to flee the capital before, but when he fainted, the old lady ordered him to be put into the carriage.
When people woke up, they had already left the capital.
No matter how angry Old Master Zhang was, there was nothing he could do.
Later, Chang'an City was recovered and Zhang Fu hurried back.
When he came back this time, Old Tutor Zhang heard that Pei Lingyun was still alive.
"Zixin...Zixin is still here..."
Old Master Zhang cried so hard that he could hardly breathe.
The doctors in the Zhang residence stood guard in front of Old Tutor Zhang and did not dare to leave, for fear that he would become excited when he woke up and die.
When Old Tutor Zhang was finally able to face the news calmly, Pei Lingyun came to visit him in person.
Old Tutor Zhang dressed himself neatly and put on the appearance of a calm and strict teacher.
But when he saw Pei Lingyun really appear in front of him, Old Master Zhang's eyes still turned red.
Pei Lingyun performed the disciple's etiquette, bowed his head and stood solemnly:
"I am under pressure from the situation and dare not show my true face to you. I hope you will forgive me and not blame me."
Old Master Zhang looked at Pei Lingyun carefully.
At this moment, many images in my mind are closely connected by a thread:
Pei Lingyun's youthful glory, his helplessness during exile, Hao Ren's respect and concern for him, Su Zhizhi's calligraphy and paintings...
He finally understood why he thought of Pei Lingyun when he saw Hao Ren before.
I finally understood why I admired Su Zhizhi's calligraphy and paintings so much.
It turns out that there is a trace of everything.
"I'm glad you're back... Zixin... You've worked so hard over the years. God has mercy on me. I never thought I'd have the chance to see you again in this lifetime."
Old Master Zhang grabbed Pei Lingyun, feeling filled with emotion.
Pei Lingyun smiled bitterly and said:
"A teacher's kindness is as heavy as a mountain. I will never forget it. It's a pity that I have violated the teachings of the sages over the years."
Old Master Zhang shook his head:
"Zixin, I understand. I understand everything..."
The master and the disciple were talking in the room.
Mrs. Zhang sent someone outside to bring in tea.
She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and looked up at the sky.
God has shown that her old man is destined to be a tutor.
