Chapter 660: There is no turning back when the bow is opened
(There will be a change later, these days, the child is sick, so there is no change.) Supplement now)
Xiao Heng thought about it for a long time, and then put on a big hat to see Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu, who has white hair, has been in better shape after a few days of conditioning, but she still can't help coughing. This night, as the person with the highest official position in the Xiao clan at present, he naturally couldn't sleep at the moment when the Xiao clan was stormy.
His study is in an independent small courtyard, surrounded by the shadows of trees, and there is a cold lamp in the study, which is faintly lit. Xiao Yu sat at the desk, picked up a pen and wrote, writing very slowly, coughing constantly during the period.
On such a night, Xiao Hengguang stepped through the cold and slippery corridor, and slowly came to Xiao Yu's study, standing under a laurel tree. This laurel tree was facing the door of Xiao Yu's study. Xiao Heng looked at this cousin who had always been forbearant and well-cultivated to his own flying and domineering, and only felt that this current situation seemed to be close to running out of oil, and he was really old.
He remembered many years ago, when he first met his cousin. At that time, he was three years old, but this cousin was already a member of the court, gentle and elegant, and his words and words were pleasing to the eye.
Now, it seems that with the flick of a finger, this cousin has reached the twilight of his life. The most ruthless thing in this world is time.
Now, I am so painstakingly planning and hiding here, what can I get? This seems to be a moment, and I am also in the twilight of my life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng felt full of melancholy.
Xiao Yu in the room was writing and drawing on paper with a pen, still coughing.
"The head of the family, do you have something to do with the prime minister?" The little maid with the hot water came back from the kitchen, and when he saw the head of the Xiao family dressed in white, he trembled and asked tremblingly.
"Oh, talk to him about something. Xiao Heng replied calmly.
The little guy was startled, this person's temper is not very good, and he kills and kills at every turn, and many subordinates inexplicably provoke this one and die tragically. This time, he actually replied with a pleasant face.
"Prime minister, he's in the house. The little servant suppressed his surprise and pointed to the house.
Xiao Heng nodded, motioned for the little guy to retreat, and then he pushed the door in.
Xiao Yu saw that it was him, so he covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I'm sick, and you still come, it's hard to get sick." ”
"Cousin, why bother talking about this. He sat down on the couch at the window.
Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise. In his mind, this talented and strategic-minded cousin hadn't called him "cousin" for many years.
"If you have anything to do, just say it. Xiao Yu urged, and then coughed a few more times.
"Shannan Province and Jiannan Province have been lost. What does my cousin think about this?" Xiao Heng asked directly.
Xiao Yu was still writing and drawing on the paper, and after a while, he looked up at him and said slowly: "I am just a speck of dust in the Xiao family, and everything I say is insignificant. However, this time I am sick, and I feel that it will be soon. Since you still call me a cousin today, then in this study today, it is the gossip of you and my brothers. ”
"Listen to my cousin. Xiao Heng got up and bowed slowly.
Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Don't do these false courtesies." After so many years, my attitude, in fact, you know it very well. Ah Heng, have you ever looked back and thought about why our Xiao family got this world back then, and why did we lose it? Everything in this world has its rules. The sun rises and the sun comes in and rests, and the spring is born in the summer, and the autumn is harvested in the winter. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a person who has gone against the sky to gain momentum, and there has never been a person who has moved against the times to succeed. Ah Heng, you are an extremely smart person, what do you think of Your Majesty today? Judging from the previous battles between the Changsun clan and Li Chengqian and Li Ke, as well as the battles between our Xiao clan and Li Chengqian and Li Ke, what about this prince?"
"They are all dragons and phoenixes among people. has a proper strategy, and has won the hearts of the people, and there are many capable people around him. Xiao Heng slowly commented, and he became more and more anxious and depressed because of this pertinent evaluation.
"Do you know that as early as a year ago, the imperial court was dealing with the impending floods and droughts? Li Shimin has made a lot of efforts to this end, and this Datang is already the desire of the people, and the prosperity of Datang is right now. Xiao Yu continued.
"Does my cousin mean that he has forgotten the legacy of the ancestors of the Xiao family, and has forgotten the ancestral teachings of the Xiao dynasty that restored me?" Xiao Heng became excited.
"A person's life has a long and short life, and his knowledge is high and low. The testament set by our ancestors must be correct? Let future generations bear countless inexplicable responsibilities, and even the responsibility of destroying the Xiao family, this ancestral precept must be right? Ah Heng, you have always been smart, you tell me the answer. Xiao Yu was also excited, and as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help coughing violently.
Xiao Yu coughed, as if she wanted to cough out her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. Xiao Heng was still sitting by the window. This time, he felt that he had been persuaded by his cousin, who had always been bad at words.
He waited for Xiao Yu to stop coughing before he said slowly: "I never knew that my cousin could speak so well. ”
"I just don't want to say it, thinking that I am a child of the Xiao family, I just do my best. But now, the Xiao family, life and death are in danger, and my life is not long. Today, since you call me a cousin, I have to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Xiao Yu slowed down the speed of speech, very slowly.
Xiao Heng nodded respectfully. Xiao Heng continued: "The Li family is now moving with the times and helping the world, and the talents around them are working hard. Under the crowd of firewood, the splendid and great prosperity will soon come, which no one can stop. ”
"The Xiao clan has already been properly deployed, and they only need to implement the next plan to get rid of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin's sons can also get rid of all. Xiao Heng retorted unwillingly.
"The rout of Shannan Dao and Jiannan Dao, Ah Heng, can't you see clearly?" Xiao Yu asked.
"It's just that they're stupid. Xiao Heng's heart gradually became barren and indifferent.
"It's not that they're stupid, it's someone who is scheming. The current one is more difficult to deal with than the one in the previous dynasty. Moreover, there are several good sons and a group of confidants by his side today. Even the first few people in the palace are not fuel-efficient lamps, each of them has a virtuous reputation, but they actually look closely at this harem. Which of the people sent in by the Xiao clan has a chance to get ahead?" Xiao Yu continued.
Xiao Heng didn't continue the topic, just glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "It's late at night, my cousin is not feeling well, so don't stay up late." ”
"Ah Heng!" Xiao Yu shouted in disappointment.
Xiao Heng stood up and walked to the door, only then turned back to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Cousin, you are in his position to seek his own government." I am the head of the Xiao family, you can say these things, I can't, you can pick and choose, I can't. Even if the sword mountain and the sea of fire are gone, I can only go on. ”
"Ah Heng, there are other ways, as long as you want. Xiao Yu hurriedly shouted.
Xiao Heng smiled miserably, and let the sudden wind blow his hair into a mess. He leaned against the door and window, shook his head and said, "Cousin, Xiao's luxury carriage has gone out of control, as a driver, jumping out of the car at this time, or forcibly reversing the direction, will only destroy the car and kill people, and there will be nothing left." If the driver is there, there may still be a chance of life. ”
When Xiao Yu heard this, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the paper full of small letters on the desk was suddenly dyed red.
Xiao Heng looked at him like that, smiled lightly, and said, "Cousin, you are so good to have a baby." ”
Xiao Yu didn't speak again, only looked at the cousin in a white robe and disappeared into the night. He held on to the desk with both hands for a long time before he lit the candle flame on the blood-sprayed paper on the desk. The smoke of the burning filled the room, and Xiao Yu continued to cough violently.
Xiao Heng didn't return to his residence without heading, sitting cross-legged on the terrace, watching the crescent moon come and go, and the heavens and the earth running.
Everything in the world is indeed lucky, and if it goes with it, it will prosper, and if it goes against it, it will die.
