After General Liu Wei returned to the imperial court, the capital became more and more respected for General Liu Wei, and there was even a vague saying that "if there was no General Liu Wei, Dafeng would have already destroyed the country", and the sage's face changed day by day. Ugly day.
"After my class teacher returned to the court, the military talisman had been handed back to the sage, and he would only open his mouth at the court meeting to crusade this and that literate minister. At this time, he knew that he would stand up and say this and that. At that time, Bei Di was about to hit Luohe Prefecture. At that time, how can everyone only know how to be a tortoise? Is it possible that I want to die?" Liu Wei heavily smashed the bottomed wine bottle on the table, the bitterness and sadness in his eyes seemed to be disturbed A jar of spring water overflows like this: "I, Liu Wei, and horses, have lived my whole life, and naturally I am worthy of the sky and the ground. If it is not for the sake of the world, who would be greedy for this idea?"
What happened to General Han back then is vivid in my mind, isn't he now just like General Han back then? Although the power is high, why did they ever think about shocking the master? "Sad! Funny! Sigh!"
"Master, you are drunk." Liu Wei's wife brought a bowl of sober soup and looked at him tearfully. The husband and wife have been together for nearly 30 years. How could she not know the bitterness in his heart? But how hard can it be? Zuo was just crying in vain.
Liu Wei took the hangover soup and drank it, took the old wife's hand and patted it tenderly: "I don't care if I die, it's just that I will harm you and the children for nothing!" Although Liu Wei is a warrior, he is not a fool, he knows His current situation is that people are roasted on top of the fire. He has been loyal to the country all his life, and if it ends in a tragic end, it will be really laughable.
A hint of determination flashed in Liu Wei's eyes after the vicissitudes of life, looked at his old wife, and said: "Tomorrow morning meeting, I will bid farewell to Your Majesty, and then take you and the children back to Hongzhou, I will plant the fields and come to you to weave, safe and secure. Stable for the rest of my life." Now that the sage is getting older, and there is no crown prince, the situation of the five sons is gradually coming to an end. Liu Wei is not unaware that he was accidentally injured in the northern border. It seems accidental, but it is man-made. He woke up in advance and dodged, and the cold arrow released from behind didn't hurt his arm, but passed through his left chest!
"Okay, let's go back to Hongzhou together!" Liu Wei's wife wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief, her eyes turning red. It's not that she didn't know that her husband had the ambition to serve the country, otherwise he wouldn't take the initiative to ask Ying to take the lead this time. But today's saint is too chilling! When the war in the northern Xinjiang was about to break, her husband was rushed back to the court. Although he was named a brave general, he sent someone to ask for a military talisman before he even took off his armor. The more she thought about it, the more she felt sorry for her husband, so she called the servants to help her husband back to the bed and rested.
***
Above the hall, Liu Wei, dressed in commoner clothes, held the first-grade general's court uniform given by the sage, and bowed to express his gratitude to Tian's grace. There are many, please be kind to the sage, and Xu Chen will be disarmed and return to the fields!"
"General Liu, what does this mean?" The sage motioned the inner guard to help the person up, and said with concern: "General Liu is a hero of the country and a good minister of the few people. How can you be so arrogant?" In his words, he praised Liu Wei a lot, but the chill in his eyes was not. Like a thousand years of ice.
"Sacred! The minister is old, and he really can't bear the heavy responsibilities. I hope that the Holy One will be fulfilled!" Liu Wei refused to get up. The Inspector pulled up with all his strength. Seeing Liu Wei's resignation eagerly, all the officials in the courtroom looked different for a while, but no one stood up to speak for him.
"Aiqing, don't mention it again. Aiqing is a great contributor to the defeat of Bei Di this time. If the widowers let Aiqing disarm and return to the fields at this time, what will the world think of the widowers?" The sage was already angry, and looked down at the court with his eyes like torches. The hundred officials said: "The widow's will has been decided, and Aiqing is suffering from the pain on his body, so he passed on the widow's will, and the imperial hospital personally ordered two imperial doctors to enter the general's mansion to take care of the general. If the general is not good, then Have them raise their heads to meet you. Retreat!"
Seeing that the sage threw his sleeves and left, Liu Wei fell to the ground and felt sadness in his heart. The sage refused to let him go! In the case of General Han's treason that year, he no longer served under the Han family's army, and he was lucky to escape when he was training in the southern border. But Liu Wei didn't believe that the loyal and loyal General Han would be involved in the case of the Third Prince's treason, but he was not in Beijing at that time, and he only heard a little about the case back then, and knew that hundreds of people in the Han family lived overnight. They were all beheaded, and the blood at Caishikou was washed away by a heavy rain for three days and three nights. General Han, who was a soldier all his life, ended up with no one to collect the corpse in the end!
Liu Wei was distraught and closed his eyes tightly. He already knew in his heart that if he let things go on, the end of General Han's family would be his future ending! For the country and the people, he has no fear of death, but what about his wife, his children, and his three-year-old grandson? Do you really want to die with yourself
At this time, the capital was still prosperous and lively, but a dark cloud shrouded it, and no one knew who the first thunderbolt would hit. There was a sense that everyone was in danger among the officials, and no one dared to act rashly. .
Beijing, Xiao family.
Xiao Linfeng always felt that his parents and eldest brother had a lot of things hidden from him, but he had no way of knowing. To this day, Dad actually asked him to leave Beijing and go back to Luohe Prefecture.
Xiao Linfeng, who was so surprised that he couldn't believe it, stood beside Xiao Linyu, his eyes blinked with joy, and his slightly trembling voice was full of disbelief: "eldest brother, can I really go to Luohe Prefecture alone?" No wonder he was excited, it was true that for more than a year, he had never even gone out of the gate of the capital. He went to the academy to study every day as if he was in prison. .
"What? Linfeng doesn't want to go back to Luohezhou?" Xiao Linyu quietly stuffed the letter from Luohezhou into the account book, then looked at Xiao Linfeng casually: "If you really don't want to go, I'll go. Talk to your father."
"Don't, don't! Eldest brother, I'm willing to go back!" Xiao Linfeng saw the eldest brother pretending to get up, and hurriedly grabbed him: "I'm so happy, eldest brother, don't you know, I've been in the past for more than a year. I’m bored in the capital, I’m going to die of boredom!” Even though I went to Luohe Prefecture, I could only play with the little girls of the Su family, but Luohe Prefecture has no ancestors, neither parents nor uncles! Xiao Linfeng only felt that he smelled the breath of freedom coming towards him.
Xiao Linyu looked at his younger brother who was smiling rather heartlessly. He felt both envy and pity in his heart. What he envied was that he could be carefree, and his family would support him when the sky fell; Once collapsed, there will be no one in this world who can protect him.
"Eldest brother, why are you looking at me like this?" Xiao Linfeng didn't know the inside story, but felt that the way his brother looked at him was a little inexplicable: "I just went to Luohe Prefecture for a while, and it's not like I won't come back."
"It's done, you're not leaving tomorrow, have you packed everything? Don't remember when you're about to leave and forget this one and the other." Xiao Linyu took back her thoughts and patted Xiao Linfeng's shoulder with a smile: "Linfeng, you are also an adult. We are not by your side. You have to be careful in everything, don't be impulsive in everything, and listen to Uncle Qin. Linwen is still young. You are a brother. You have to take good care of him, do you know?" The only son of Second Master Xiao, this time he will also go to Luohe Prefecture with Xiao Linfeng.
"I'm not a child anymore, eldest brother, why have you become nagging like your mother now?" Xiao Linfeng really felt that the eldest brother was getting more and more strange. Come.
Originally, I was worried about my younger brother, but I didn't realize that I was disliked. He smiled and shook his head and sent the younger brother out: "Come on." Xiao Linfeng couldn't understand this, so he just ignored it, turned around and came out of the eldest brother's study, and went back to his yard. He will be leaving tomorrow. Think carefully about what to bring.
Seeing the carefree back of the younger brother leave, Xiao Linyu sat in the study, took out the letter that was clipped, and couldn't help but be stunned. Sending Xiao Linfeng and Xiao Linwen away this time is the result of the discussion between Xiao Hairu and his son Xiao Erye. The Xiao family is considered to be very proud in the capital. If all the masters of the family suddenly leave, I am afraid that it will cause people who are interested to take the opportunity to make a fuss about it. . Sending off the two children can be done quietly and unobtrusively. As long as the two children are safe, even if something really happens in the capital, the incense of the Xiao family will not be broken like this.
As for Luohe Prefecture, it was just to coax Xiao Linfeng's words. When they left the capital, they would change their identities before the next town and quietly head to Xijing. And Xiao Wen has already arranged everything in Xijing.
On the second day, before dawn, the genius was bright, and several horse-drawn carriages quietly came out of the back door of Xiao's house. peaceful. Brother Xiao Linfeng and Xiao Linwen, who were still sleeping with the quilt in their arms comfortably, didn't know that this might be their last meeting with their families.
"Don't blame the old man. He has made many friends all his life and is the most enthusiastic person. When the old man participated in the General Han incident, he just wanted to save the last blood for the loyal Han family." The ancestor of the Xiao family, the Xin family Sitting in the main hall of the Fu'an Hospital where he lived, he looked at his next daughter-in-law and his eldest grandson and said solemnly: "When the old man and General Han met in Wei, when the floods in Luohe Prefecture, if General Han did not help, the old man would have been there long ago. After returning to the West, where will the Xiao family be today? After careful calculation, we owe the Han family."
Xiao Linyu didn't know that his grandfather had such an experience when he was young, so he sat at the bottom and listened carefully to the old things from his ancestors without interrupting.
Xiao Hairu and Xiao Erye were still resentful about the old man's meddling in the Han family's affairs. They felt that he had a good life, but they dared to intervene in the case of Han Guanghong's conspiracy to save Han Guanghong's little grandson. Especially Xiao Erye, who was an official in the court, at first wished that he would immediately go to the underworld to find the old man to settle accounts. This is to kill his own son!
"Later General Han came to the fore, and your father also inherited the family business. One was a popular celebrity in the court, and the other was just a businessman who escorted the merchants. General Han served the country all his life, but the old man always felt that he was too stupid and loyal. , the two are drifting farther and farther." Thinking of what happened in the past, Xin's eyes full of vicissitudes are full of nostalgia and emotion: "After the accident in the Han family, although the old man was also lingering on the bed, he still managed to arrange a meeting in one breath. The civet cat was exchanged for the prince, and the grandson of General Han was rescued. It is said that this matter was secret at the time, and there were very few people in the know, but now because of General Liu Wei, I am afraid that if the sage has a heart, no one can tell what happened in the past. ."
After listening to the mother's words, Xiao Hairu and Xiao Er Ye were at a loss for words, what could they say? Blame the old man disregarding the lives of his family and meddling in General Han? But if there was no General Han, their Xiao family would have broken the incense long ago? In the end, whether the old man is right or wrong, no one can make a judgment for a while.
