Many years ago, the beginning of the dynasty, the first emperor did not start a business and the middle way collapsed, Taizong took over the task of Taizu to expand the territory, the surrounding small countries were all subdued, but the northern desert because of its harsh climate, snow in August, Pingxia because of its high mountains and deep water, steep terrain, so it has never succeeded, since the perennial period, the three national forces check and balance each other, the Southern Dynasty monopolizes the rich land, the plain and the south of the Yangtze River with a pleasant climate, therefore, the Northern Desert and Pingxia always want to play the autumn wind here in the Southern Dynasty from time to time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Du family has always been loyal to the Heavenly Family. When Du Pengyu was weak, he accepted the wish of his ancestors, entered the court as an official, and met Liu Jiyi, a general who was also young at that time.

"When I saw him for the first time, he had just won a big battle and returned to the dynasty victoriously, and I will never forget that high-spirited appearance in my life." Recalling the past, Du Pengyu seemed to be younger.

Two people are one writer and one martial arts, both are young people, both are pillars of the imperial court, and they are very close to each other after chatting, although Liu Jiyi guards Dingbeiguan all the year round, but thousands of miles away can not stop the deep friendship between the two people, when Du Shuyan was born, Liu Jiyi even made a special trip back to Beijing to visit, and two hours later, he rushed back to the station. Every year, I will remember to send someone to send a congratulatory gift on Du Shuyan's birthday, and now those strange things in Du Shuyan's room are all things collected by Liu Jiyi at the border gate.

At that time, the saint looked at the relationship between these two courtiers, but he didn't say anything, so they didn't care at all, and the deep private friendship between the ministers of civil and military affairs has been the focus of suspicion by the monarch for generations.

Victory after battle, just like the legendary unicorn that guards the holy monarch, the saint gave the name "Qilin General", but later a battle with the Northern Desert changed everything.

In the autumn and winter, the Northern Desert led the army south, attacked Dingbei Pass, intending to plunder several cities in the north, there was originally a Qilin general in the town, there would be nothing at all, but at that time it was only the prince's present, but because he was sent to the north by the Holy Lord to supervise the army, he was young and vigorous and did not have much experience, he was greedy for merit and rushed into the enemy army, and mistakenly entered the enemy surroundment, resulting in the death of 100,000 soldiers in a foreign land.

When the news of the defeat came, the wives and children of the 100,000 generals cried loudly, and they originally received a letter from home, saying that they would be able to return to the court in a few days. Originally, he wanted to squeeze the crown prince down, and King Lu, who was the emperor's younger brother, was the most excited, like a picture of asking for the people's life, and wanted to seek justice for the 100,000 generals.

100,000 lives, even if the emperor is selfish in favor of the prince, he must find a suitable reason to save him, otherwise, the prince will have to be replaced.

General Kirin didn't know that King Ritsu was ambitious, so he resolutely took the blame, and although the prince had the heart to tell the truth, he couldn't bear the disappointment of his mother's family and the storm that might come from it. In the past, the generals of the defeated army were only dealt with by military law, and at most they were cut to the people, and the prince guaranteed that General Qilin would provide for his whole family even if he was for the people.

However, no one thought that how could the king of law give up on what he was planning because a person took the initiative to stand up for his guilt?

He instigated the bereaved families of those soldiers to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, and when the saint was troubled by this, there were former deputy generals under the command of General Qilin who claimed to have escaped from the pile of dead people, and saw with his own eyes that General Qilin had colluded with the people of the Northern Desert, and it was Liu Yiyi's deliberate act to bring 100,000 soldiers into the trap.

Where did the top general of Dingbei Pass go when the war was tight?

Some people even proved that in a battle, Liu Jiyi took the lead, was seriously injured and fell into the chaos of the army, and then disappeared, and only appeared at the gate of Dingbei Pass more than a month later, blind, and raised for more than a month.

Where has he been for more than a month?

Liu Yiyi said that he fled into the mountains and was taken back by a local woman to recuperate, but he said that he was injured and blind at the time, and his injuries were somewhat stable, so he begged the woman to send him back to Dingbeiguan, so he did not remember the way back and forth.

There are no witnesses, and there is no physical evidence, although what Liu Jiyi said is reasonable, it cannot be believed.

Collusion with the Northern Desert and foreign countries is a conspiracy!

The crime of rebellion should be the destruction of the nine clans.

After Du Pengyu learned of this, he deliberately entered the palace to intercede, but unexpectedly, the saint was not as gentle as in the past, he only said coldly: "Du Aiqing, if there is no actual evidence, there is no need to say it again." I know that the Du family has been loyal and good for generations, and there are no other thoughts, but you have only walked in the household department, and Du Aiqing does not have to worry about the affairs of the army. ”

Just a few words made Du Pengyu's back sweat burst out layer by layer, soaking through his clothes.

It seems that the saint has long been dissatisfied with his friendship with Liu Jiyi, but he has never said it, and now this matter seems to be difficult to say that it is the idea of the saint or the idea of the king of law. Listening to the meaning of the saint's words, it is very likely that the entire Du family wants to threaten him not to ask about this matter again, the Du family has been doing their best for the court for several generations, and the glory of the family for generations can be ruined because of his friend's will.

Du Pengyu knelt in front of the imperial case, bowed his head and said silently, and the saint said in a soothing tone: "I know that the relationship between the two of you is good, I will allow you to enter the heavenly prison, and then look at him." ”

In the prison, most of them are important prisoners of the imperial court, with important identities, strict guards, but also clean and tidy, not like other places where sewage flows and is filthy. Liu Yiyi was locked up in a position in the middle of the room, wearing prison clothes, with shackles on his hands and feet, and when he saw Du Pengyu coming, he shook his head and sighed: "Why bother to come again, it will affect you." ”

Du Pengyu grabbed the iron railing and said, "I know you will not rebel, where did you go for more than a month?" ”

Liu Yiyi smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, I really don't know, I just know that there is a girl with a very good voice, who takes care of me carefully every day, but unfortunately my Yanfu is too shallow, and I haven't seen what he looks like, so I went back, and when I opened my eyes again, I was still surrounded by my little brothers." ”

"Do you know that the sin of treason, the sin and the nine tribes?"

"Of course I know if...... Never mind...... You are also a family and a family, and I can't harm you. Go back, it won't do you any good to talk so much to me. Liu Yiyi turned his back and said no more.

Du Pengyu's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't, so he had to go back.

Liu Jiyi's unfinished words, he guessed that Liu Jiyi's young son had just been born, and who didn't want to let their child survive.

However, with his relationship with Liu Jiyi, he is afraid that there will already be bright and dark stares around him, if he dares to take Liu Jiyi's son out, he is afraid that the next one to destroy the family will be the Du family.

He didn't dare, he couldn't, on the day of the execution, he didn't dare to go to the court, he couldn't face Liu Jiyi, listening to the sound of the soul chasing cannon, he cried at home and fainted to the ground, almost out of breath.

"For so many years, this has always been something that my father can't let go of, every time I dream back at midnight, I will think of Liu Jiyi, and think of him wanting me to rescue his son, but I didn't do it, under Jiuquan, I am also ashamed of him." Du Pengyu sighed deeply, and at some point, the old tears were on his face again.

Only then did Du Shuyan understand what his father meant when he said to himself, follow his heart and not let himself regret it.

However, everything in the world is not up to anyone (to be continued.) )
