"No wonder Xiao Zhongwu and his wife were fighting for power before the first seven days. It is no wonder that Changcheng Canggu drowned 60,000 people in a battle and did not change his face. On the ruthless, who can compare Xiao Huaijin with Wei?"
There was a moment of silence in the dungeon.
Shen Han wanted to say something, but finally said nothing. The young man turned his back to the prisoner, and the hand next to him slowly clenched into a fist.
But it must be slow, and slowly released. He looked back, looked at Leihou, and smiled indifferently: "It seems that you know what kind of person I am. Then you have to think more clearly," he went out, his voice was cold, "I never give people Second chance."
When he walked to the door, he happened to meet He Yan and Lin Shuanghe who were standing on the corner. He looked away, ignored it, and left.
No one dared to catch up behind.
Shen Han let people put Leihou back in again. I didn’t know that it was just the words of Xiaocai and Xiaojue that made Leihou despair in his heart. Leihou laughed loudly. Laughter echoed in the dungeon, dark and sad.
Fei Nu walked out of it and saw that He Yan and Lin Shuanghe were also stunned and said, "Lin Gongzi, why are you here?"
"I want to say," He Yan glanced inside: "I have dealt with Leihou once, and when the governor interrogates Leihou, it may be able to help, so let's take a look."
"No, it's solved." Feinu answered quickly. "The two can go back."
Lin Shuanghe shrugged his shoulders and saw Xiao Jue’s big cloak in Feinu’s hand, and took the initiative to reach over and said,
This is Huai Jin’s dress. I’ll send it to him. I don’t want to see anyone for coming. ."
Fei Nu: "Don't trouble Mr. Lin."
"No trouble, no trouble," Lin Shuanghe said: "I'm going to find him later."
Fei Nu gave up and nodded at Lin Shuanghe: "Thank you Mr. Lin."
Lin Shuanghe smiled and said to He Yan: "Let's go."
The two went out together.
When it came out, it was already snowing, and now the snow was a bit heavy. He Yan was injured and walked slowly, still covered with Cheng Lisu's cloak. Although Lin Shuanghe's intimacy called "sister" on his mouth, he also had a decent relationship with the woman, as if deliberately avoiding suspicion, he did not even help He Yan.
But the two didn't hurry, and they walked slowly.
The snow grains fell down and hit people. He Yan thought about it before he heard Lei Hou's words in the dungeon. He was contemplating and could not prevent Lin Shuanghe from speaking. He asked: "Have you heard of the battle of Changcheng Changgu?" ?"
He Yan stunned, and immediately replied: "Hear."
The battle of Changcheng Changgu was the most important battle when Xiao Jue led Nanfu soldiers to calm down the Nanman chaos. At that time, Da Wei Juguo was waiting to see Xiao Jue's joke. A sixteen-year-old boy with so many soldiers and alien soldiers who could not win even his father, he would be defeated.
Who knows that the first battle won a great victory, so that after the Nanman defeated, Xiao Jue really calmed the turmoil in Nanman, but half a year.
"You know how he won in the battle of Canggu?"
"Water attack."
"You actually know?"
He Yan did not speak, and the bamboo stick stood on the snow, poking out a small pit.
"Then you know that during the battle of Canggu, General Feng Yun Xiao Huaijin flooded the city and 60,000 people died." Lin Shuanghe hugged Xiao Jue's black big cloister more tightly. Stinky, the city is like a on earth, and it can't bear to hear it." He asked with a smile, "How do you think he is cruel and inhuman?"
He Yan calmly said: "The war is cruel. To be kind to the enemy is to be cruel to the people of our country. What's more, no one knows the truth without being in that position. If his cruelty is not humane, maybe We are the people who are drowned now."
Lin Shuanghe stepped in his footsteps and turned to He Yan, asking: "Do you think so?"
"I just think that Governor Du is not such a person."
Lin Shuanghe stared at her as if he saw He Yan for the first time.
He Yan asked: "What's wrong with what I said?"
After a while, he shook his head and said, "I was just surprised, you and Huai Jin haven't had a time together, so they believed him so. Why did I hear about this, but not as firm as you?"
He Yan thought, it was because Lin Shuanghe had never been to the battlefield. Only after seeing the people fighting on the battlefield, did I know the difficulty of making a decision for the general. Xiao Jue is smart and calm. If there is a reason to do so, it doesn't have to be that way. Instead, he leaves himself with a notorious killing.
You know, after the battle of Canggu at that time, although Xiao Jue defeated Nanman, attracting countless teenagers to admire awe, he was also criticized by many literati for his ruthlessness and injustice, and he killed too much. After all, there were also Nanban civilians among the people drowned in the battle of Canggu.
"Dr. Lin seems to know why he did this." He Yan asked, "Why?"
"I didn't know it from the beginning." Lin Shuanghe sighed. "You said, with 3,000 soldiers against 60,000 people, what else can you do besides water attack?"
"Three thousand soldiers?" He Yan looked up sharply: "Isn't it one hundred thousand Nanfu soldiers?"
"One hundred thousand?" Lin Shuanghe said with a smile: "If there are one hundred thousand Nanfu soldiers in hand, he doesn't have to take this method."
After Xiao Zhongwu died that year, Mrs. Xiao followed, and for a time, Xiao Fu burst into tears and mourned. At that time, Xiao Zhongwu was defeated in the battle of Mingshui and Daoshui, because he was just stunned for his own use and command errors, which caused tens of thousands of Wei sergeants to be buried in the battlefield.
His Majesty was kind and remembered the merits of the Xiao family for many years. Xiao Zhongwu was not held accountable for his failure, but at the same time, the military power was also taken back. Xiao Jue was only sixteen at the time, and Xiao Jing was only eighteen. Bai Rongwei was married and less than half a year ago. It was a big disaster. For a time, people were panicked and did not know how to go in the future.
Lin Shuanghe still remembers Xiao Jue for the first time after the Xiao family.
The teenager used to look cold and lazy, as if nothing had been reflected in his heart. But it also teaches people to understand that nothing in the world can hardly defeat him.
It's just that anyone who suffers from this kind of hardship will inevitably fail, and if it doesn't help, it will be very different from the past. But Xiao Jue, whom Lin Shuanghe saw, was not like that. Except for a little bit more haggard than before, he did not have any depression.
"Do you have any medicine that makes people sleepy all day?" Xiao Jue asked.
Lin Shuanghe said: "My medicine shop has it. If you want it, I will take it for you immediately."
Lin's drugstores are all over the Wei Dynasty. Shuojing's downtown area opened several more. Lin Shuanghe ordered Xiaotu to go to the nearest drugstore, took two couples, and handed him: "You can sleep for ten hours after eating." He suddenly What comes to mind: "If you lose sleep at night, I can make a gentler one for you."
Perhaps Xiao Jue was unable to fall asleep all night because of a sudden change in his family, and wanted to ask medicine to calm down.
Xiao Jue took the medicine back into his sleeve and waved at him, saying, "Thank you."
"Huaijin!" Lin Shuanghe called him.
Xiao Jue stopped and looked at him.
"This medicine... are you using it?"
The young man's eyebrows were exquisite and bright, his eyes crossed him, and fell in the distance, at the end of the distance, the towering palace looming, he said lightly: "I want to enter the palace."
Lin Shuanghe was not a stupid person, and immediately understood Xiao Jue's intention. He said in horror: "Do you want to go into the palace without your brother?"
"Tell him what to do." The teenager lowered his head and smiled, "Zuo Zeng is troubled."
"You're crazy!" Lin Shuanghe said anxiously: "Do you know that because of General Xiao's business, North Korea and China are in chaos. Now no one dares to speak for General Xiao, and Xu Xiang has accompanied your majesty recently, you I know why?"
"I know." Xiao Jue said: "So what? The military power must return to the Xiao family."
"You may be dead like this!"
Xiao Jue turned his head and looked at him steadily, "That's life."
"you!"
"By the way, I still want to ask you for help," he said.
The young man's face rarely showed such a solemn expression. Lin Shuanghe's heart burst into an ominous premonition. He pursed his lips and asked, "What's the matter?"
"If I come back alive, it should not happen. If I die," he paused at this point, "There is no need to collect the corpse for me. Dr. Lin can speak before the empress dowager, please help My elder brother, this matter has nothing to do with him."
"What do you mean... are you dead?" Lin Shuanghe heard his own trembling voice.
"It's very simple. Tonight, I died either today or tomorrow." He looked calm, as if saying something else, "But I'm not sure about the result, so," he bent his lips. , "You can pray."
"Xiao Huaijin!"
The teenager faced him deeply and bowed deeply. When he straightened up, he only said two words.
"Thank you."
Lin Shuanghe's eyes were red.
Xiao Jue waved at him: "Go back."
Lin Shuanghe didn't move.
He laughed and turned away.
That was a long, long time ago, but Xiao Jue's back seemed to be still in front of him. On the bustling streets of the busy city, the back of the teenager stood tall, but he was extremely lonely.
No one knows what kind of road he will take, but Lin Shuanghe knows one thing well.
Xiao Jue will not look back.
He wanted to be enchanted, but he was interrupted by He Yan's words. He Yan asked, "So later, Du Du entered the palace on his own?"
Lin Shuanghe returned to God, and continued to walk forward slowly, while walking: "I didn't follow the way into the palace, and what happened later was also heard by my grandfather."
It was raining that night.
Autumn rain is cold and cold, and it seems to permeate people's hearts. It will be Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. If Xiao Zhongwu didn't go wrong, Xiao Fu should be busy doing the moon banquet for the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, nowadays it is bleak and Dai Xiao is everywhere.
The three on the table were silent.
When no one wanted to move the food, Bai Rong said slightly: "You can eat a little more, and if you go on like this, you can't eat enough."
They were all simple congee dishes. After a moment of silence, Xiao Jing still picked up the bowl. He took a sip and then put it down again, saying, "Huai Jin, tomorrow morning, I will go into the palace with you."
Xiao Jue: "Okay."
Bai Rongwei asked: "Into the palace... what to do?"
"The Xiao family has no military power, and sooner or later it will become meat on the cutting board, and it will be slaughtered." Xiao Jing said: "In any case, the Nanfu soldiers must return to the Xiao family, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the Xiao family did not know how long it could last.
"Then, even if your majesty returns the military power to us, what should I do in the future?" Bai Rong's tiny heart-winged opening said, "Rubi, you are a doctor, even if Huai Jin is in the military, he is only sixteen years old."
Xiao Jing's movement froze.
He had to admit the fact that the Xiao family was gone. Although Xiao Jue's talent is different, he is only sixteen and he is a half-old child. How can he lead tens of thousands of Nanfu soldiers?
Difficult to convince the public.
"There are more things I can do at the age of sixteen." Xiao Jue's careless folder, "Big Brother, only fear nothing, nothing will happen."
Xiao Jing sighed and said, "Well, let's take one step at a time. Now, there is no other way to go."
"Will your majesty return the military power to us?" Bai Rong said slightly: "Xu Xiang's forces are now monstrous, and he will not let go of this opportunity to deal with the Xiao family."
"Yes." The teenager lazily poured tea for them. "Don't be afraid, Xu Jingfu is just a mortal."
No one spoke again.
Ye Yu pattered, and the next man brought Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing back to bed.
Xiao Jue stood up, put on his outer skirt, and went out the door.
Outside, Feinu was waiting, the rain fell on the ground, hitting puddles, rippling up and down, soaking all the white lanterns hanging at the door soaked.
Xiao Jue stopped at the door.
Feinuo said: "Master."
He bowed his head and told the housekeeper: "Take care of them." He turned on the carriage.
"Go."
This disappeared into the night.
The carriage drove towards the palace, where today's prime minister Xu Jingfu is playing chess with Emperor Wenxuan.
Gong Ren came to report: "Your Majesty, the second son of General Guangwu's palace asks for advice."
Emperor Wen Xuan played chess, "Xiao Huaijin? What is he doing here?"
"Xu is for his father." Xu Jingfu smiled: "Your Majesty, be careful." He picked up a sunspot.
"You, don't make a fuss while I'm distracted," Emperor Wen Xuan laughed, "Cunning."
Xu Jingfu also laughed: "Your Majesty let the old minister."
The two of them laughed and played chess again, and it seemed that Xiao Jue had forgotten. Yi Xiangxiang time passed, Gong people came in again to remind: "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is still waiting outside the hall door, and it is still raining outside."
"Go back when it rains," Emperor Wenxuan was worried about the chess in front of him, "what to do."
"Your Majesty is not annoyed," Xu Jingfu said: "The family of Xiao Er's son has undergone great changes, and he is still a child. If there are many grievances in his heart, it is better to let the old minister go out and persuade him. It is best to persuade him to go back."
"You go." Emperor Wen Xuan waved impatiently: "The upside is also Xiao Zhongwu's business, the downside is still inseparable, and all of them are Xiao's and Xiao's, I am annoying. You let him go back! Go! Hurry back, you have to accompany me to finish this game."
Xu Jingfu got up and saluted respectfully: "Yes."
When he left the hall door, he saw Xiao Jue kneeling at the door and waiting.
Xu Jingfu had spent sixty years in his youth and served in the Hanlin Academy when he was young. Da Wei's outstanding young child Lang, somewhat related to him. Even though Xiao Jue was not his student, he had heard of Xiao Jue's outstandingness. I once saw Xiao Jue during the royal hunt, and I remember that the young boy in white robe was rich and seductive.
Xu Jingfu also sighed in his heart. Such an outstanding young man, if his Xu family is so good, it is a pity that it cheapened the barbarian Xiao Zhongwu.
He stood in front of Xiao Jue and said, "Young Master Xiao."
The teenager raised his head and looked at him, "Master Xu."
"It's been raining so much outside, why did Mr. Xiao wait outside without holding an umbrella." He told the people around the palace, "Come here, give Mr. Xiao an umbrella."
Gong Ren stood behind Xiao Jue holding an umbrella, and Xu Jingfu urged him to lift him up, as if the elders really cared about the juniors, saying: "What are you doing on your knees, get up."
Xiao Jue said, "I want to see your majesty."
"Your Majesty is busy right now, Mr. Xiao is really going to have something to do, and I won't be in a hurry to come again tomorrow. It is already very late, and it is not a good time for His Majesty to rest after His Majesty is busy."
The young man was unmoved and only repeated: "Master Xu, I must see your majesty today."
Xu Jingfu stepped back two steps, looked at him with his hands in his sleeves, and there was a kind smile on his face, "Young Master Xiao, His Majesty, was once the family of the Xiao family, who favored you. Now your father is in default, The battle of Mingshui defeated the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty. It should have been investigated. It was His Majesty who remembered the old sentiments and opened the net. How can you get in the way and not know the good or bad?"
The night rain drifted diagonally, slipping in from under the umbrella and wet the boy's clothes. His eyebrows were terrible, his expression was calm, his voice was no longer lazy, and he said, "Master Xu said yes."
Xu Jingfu smiled unchanged.
"So," Xiao Jue raised his head to look at him, "I urge Master Xu to communicate with His Majesty, Xiao Jue wants to see His Majesty."
"Young Master Xiao laughed, why did the old man take care of your majesty for you?" Xu Jingfu asked.
The teenager looked at him and bowed his head slightly: "Please Master Xu to complete."
The arrogance of a young man is the most difficult to withstand. Sometimes the spine is bent so gently that he can no longer stand up.
Xiao Zhongwu Ruoquan knows, seeing his proud second son now kneeling in front of him and asking for his mercy, what kind of expression?
In an instant, Xu Jingfu didn't want to drive him to a dead end immediately. Seeing the proud person falling into the dust, being trampled into the mud, and the self-esteem trampled was worthless than these.
He tilted his head slightly and said in distress: "Mr. Xiao, it's not that the old man doesn't help you. It's just that His Majesty is angry with the Xiao family. Even the old man can't interfere in this matter."
Xiao Jue only said: "Please Master Xu to complete."
Xu Jingfu stared at him for a long while, he said: "If the second son Xiao insists on seeing his majesty, it is better to take the penalty first. The Xiao family is already wearing a sin body. If the second son can open up, his majesty sees it, his heart will probably dissipate a little. Fen, the old man can speak for Xiao Er."
"Please ask Master Xu for advice."
"You are young now, and even more punishment is hard to bear, so go get the fifty boards first," he said.
It was so easy to say, as if Xiao Jue was already very open to the side. The palace person next to him bowed his head and did not speak, but his heart was hard to hide.
Fifty boards, if you are a little weaker, you can sigh for life. Even if you are an ordinary person, you can save half your life if you go down fifty boards.
Xiao Jue said: "Okay."
Xu Jingfu smiled: "The second son really has the style of being a father," he turned around, and told the people behind him, "Take the second son Xiao to lead the board."
Night rain and rustling, fifty boards fell on people, is not as easy as imagined, especially the Gong people who executed, were deliberately "explained" by Xu Jingfu.
The boy said nothing and gritted his teeth and carried it down. After fifty boards passed, he wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, slowly propped himself up and stood up.
When I stood up, my steps were a little vain, and I almost didn't stand firm. At that time, the second son of Xiao, Jin Yihu, Qiu, and Guigui were gorgeous, but now such awkwardness, who can expect? No one expected.
Xu Jingfu was not interested in watching Xiao Jue get on the board. He entered the hall and went to speak with Emperor Wen Xuan first.
Emperor Wen Xuan said: "Did you mean to drive him away?"
"Your Majesty," Xu Jingfu shook his head, "Young Master Xiao insisted on seeing His Majesty, and the veteran was also not persuaded. The young man, with a strong heart, really wanted to recognize the matter, and the nine-headed cow couldn't pull it back. Now that General Guangwu is gone, his mother again ...The old minister also looked at him pitifully, and it would be better for your majesty to meet him and hear what he said. If you don’t speak well, let him go out and it will be fine next time."
Emperor Wen Xuan sighed: "Ai Qing softened."
"Your Majesty is kind."
"It's all right," Emperor Wen Xuan told the palace man, "whatever I am, I grew up watching him. Let him come in."
The hall was extremely cold, the hall was extremely warm, and there was no night rain that could not be avoided, only the floral fragrance that made people dizzy. There were enough lights and someone came.
He knelt down in front of Emperor Wenxuan and said, "Senior, see your majesty."
"Exempt from ceremony." Emperor Wenxuan casually raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Jue. He froze as soon as he saw Xiao Jue, and asked, "How did you become like this?"
It has been raining outside, and Xu Jingfu's umbrella was only lasting for less than a moment. He was so wet all over, so embarrassed, and because he had just been hit by fifty boards, he was so weak that he had a golden face and pale lips, as if he would faint in the next moment.
Very different from the past.
In the end, looking at growing up, Emperor Wen Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of mourning and moved a little real care. He slowed his tone and said, "Tell me, someone bullied you?"
"No." Xu Jingfu answered, standing on the side: "Second son Xiao knows that the Xiao family is guilty, and he punishes himself with fifty punishments.
Emperor Wen Xuan looked at him and sighed, "Fifty big plates... too much."
"Young Master Xiao also missed His Majesty Rende." Xu Jingfu smiled.
"Why did you come to me?" Emperor Wen Xuan said: "I don't want to mention the Xiao family anymore."
Xiao Jue's gaze swept over the chess game on the table. Above the chess game, black and white pieces were intertwined, and under the warm and mellow lights, there was a dark mood.
If life is strange, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
But the past has passed, and it is impossible to predict the future.
The boy fell down, his voice calm, with an unstoppable stubbornness, he said word by word.
"Secretary, please ask Your Majesty for permission. May the Nanfu soldiers enter the Mingshui again to fight in Nanman."
