Chapter 13: Escape
fled all the way, good fate took him to the house in the Five Elements Mountain, what Xu Yuan didn't expect was that Meng Jia also followed this time, "General, the old general is innocent, and the last general is willing to follow the general to the death!" Xu Yuan glanced at him, then lowered his head again, "I am now the thief referred to by Qianfu, and I can't help you avenge my brother." Meng Jia knelt down directly this time, "General, the way of heaven is ruthless, but we can't just accept our fate!" Xu Yuan sighed, "You go, give me some time." Meng Jia and Shanyuan looked at each other, and Meng Jia said: "The lowly post is in the original inn at the foot of the mountain and waits for the general, if the general can guide the country, the lowly post will be sworn to follow!" With that, he turned and went down the mountain.
Shanyuan just looked at Xu Yuan, whose eyes were like stagnant water, stopped talking, and went down the mountain. In the middle of the night, Shanyuan walked in with farm tools and seeds, "If you don't want to starve to death, come and help, the old man can't do much." Xu Yuan looked at Shanyuan with red eyes, "You said that I had a death calamity, you said that you resolved it for me, and Qiqige left me; You said that I had a death calamity, this time, my whole family has left me, is there anything else that the Heavenly Dao can take away from me? I have nothing left! Shanyuan comforted him and said: "Good disciple, as long as you live to reach the crown, as a teacher, you can turn the tide of heaven and earth and let you take revenge." Xu Yuan heard too much of this perfunctory, he stood up suddenly, took a step back and shouted, "Could it be that the price you paid for saving me is to compensate for it with other people's fortune?" How innocent they are. At this point, why should I still live in the world, it is better to jump off the cliff and be troubled! β
Shanyuan's face changed greatly, and he pulled Xu Yuan's clothes and shouted: "When you have been in contact with Qiqige for a long time, isn't it strange that she is a Mongolian princess who knows Chinese and understands Han culture?" She has been learning Han culture since the beginning of her enlightenment, just to be friendly, even if you break yourself to pieces now, you can't let her gallop on the grassland all her life; Do you think that without you and the queen, the emperor would not have done anything to the Xu family? Your eyes are really long to the belly of a dog, the Kulun Banner battled, your father disobeyed the order, although he saved the lives of the remaining 150,000 people, but how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the commander at that time, allow him today? Now that the revenge has not been avenged, you are thinking about seeking death and life, you are so disappointed in me! Do you think it's over when you're dead like this? What will happen to the Xu family, don't you know, okay, then I'll take you to see! β
Xu Yuan and Shanyuan changed into agricultural clothes, came to the bottom of the mountain, and saw that the ten major sins of crusading against Xu Shu, the former general of Haizhou, were posted all over the city overnight: cronyism, collusion with friends, disrespect to the king, unspeakable, intended rebellion, and cruelty to Zhongliang... Many of the charges are unwarranted, Xu Yuan read all the sins with tears, including the verdict: all the doors were beheaded, the criminal was self-immolated at home in fear of the crime, and the fugitive Xu Yuan was arrested today... Xu Yuan saw it, lowered his head, stopped caring about the old monk, and returned to the mountain.
Shanyuan asked, "Do you know how big an officer the chief soldier is?" "Zheng Erpin, what's wrong?" "A second-grade official, still a military attachΓ©, can't be considered a disciple all over the world, and there are few apprentices, why did he die less than three days before he even posted these notices here?" Xu Yuan thought for a while: "He wants me to be unable to stand such humiliation, so he tears up the notice and throws himself into the net." "There's a truth to that, I ask you, if you can't see it, do you know what will happen?" Xu Yuan shook his head: "I don't know." "The master of the school will see it, and it will turn into a song and give it to the children to know good and evil, and distinguish between loyalty and treachery; The historians of the imperial court will see that the history books record that Xu Shu is a rebellious minister and thief; Scholars who write books will see that Xu Shu will become a heinous villain and will never turn over; The musicians who wrote the drama will see that Xu Shu will be stinking for 10,000 years in the crowd's singing. The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and he pointed back, "You! You Xu Yuan, you are the son of Xu Shu, as long as you are alive, you will overturn this case for your father, you don't want to be delusional about the mercy of the superior in the temple, you have to rely on yourself, you can return the innocence of the Xu family. β
Xu Yuan hurriedly bowed: "The apprentice remembers, ask the master for advice, and the strategy of swallowing the world." Shanyuan waved his hand and turned back to the house: "The Buddha is tired, you go and pick up the big water tank in the yard with water, and we will farm tomorrow, or we will starve to death." β
On the vertical day, the sky was bright, Shanyuan got up, and saw that every water tank was full, he nodded with satisfaction, and went to wake up Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan went out, and asked sleepily: "There is ice and snow everywhere here, and it is cold, how to farm the land." Shanyuan walked out with him and pointed out the door: "Go out and plant!" β
Gyeonggi, Royal Palace.
The twists and turns piled up, and the emperor was a little irritable, and retreated, "You all stand down, you don't have to serve here, I want to stay by myself for a while." Stepping back left and right, he picked up the report of Xu Huizu and looked at it, his brows furrowed. Late at night, the queen came to the Qinzheng Palace, saw the lights in the Qinzheng Palace, and walked in, the emperor was worried about the drought in Shandong, after seeing the queen coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then got up: "The queen is here, why don't the people below report it, the night is cold and dewy, what are you doing if you don't raise the fetus in the palace, and carefully freeze to my emperor." The queen smiled: "Your Majesty, he always kicks the concubine in the belly of the concubine today, and the concubine privately thinks that he may be thinking about his father, and thinking that Your Majesty is entangled in official business and it is inconvenient to disturb you, so he actually sent a ghost to you, disturbed Your Majesty's business, and asked Your Majesty to atone for your sins." As he spoke, he slowly made a salute, and the emperor hurriedly helped her up, "What did the queen say, my emperor is my most important state affair, come here, come and give the queen a seat." β
She sat down and looked at the emperor with all kinds of charm: "The concubine saw that you were worried about state affairs day and night, and you lost a lot of weight, which made the concubine feel distressed." The emperor nodded, "Well, it's indeed a little tired, it's getting late, I'm going to bed, Queen, the road is slippery, don't go back, stay with me tonight." Two hours later, she looked at the sleeping emperor, shielded the left and right, walked to the outer hall, and found Liu Huizu's folds in that large piece of twists and turns, she looked at it, her eyes suddenly moistened, these days, rumors spread in the palace, some people said that he took refuge in Mongolia, some people said that he threw himself into the river, and some people said that he escaped with a god and a horse, Xu Yuan is still alive, that's good, as long as he lives, in this life, she is sorry for him.
Sitting on the bed, she was a little sad, she knew that she could not turn back in this life when she entered the door of the prince, and she thought that the man had suffered from exile for herself, and that the man always escaped death. She was half happy and half sad, and couldn't help but shed tears, and the emperor seemed to wake up, "Empress, why are you crying." "The concubine is just away from home for too long, missing the concubine's father, there is no big deal, please Your Majesty don't worry about the concubine." "The queen misses, I will take them to Beijing to meet each other." "The emperor should not bother with the concubines, the concubines have been His Majesty's people since they served the royal family, and when the time comes, please go to the court quickly." She got up to change his clothes, "Don't worry, it's okay today, what about accompanying the queen." "Please also ask Your Majesty to put state affairs first." Seeing her firm, the emperor had no choice but to give up.
On the Five Elements Mountain, Xu Yuan is still farming, he can only carry water, in the words of good fate: It is less than a cow to eat. This winter, Xu Yuan grew a beard, hunted, fished, farmed, and discussed the general trend of the world with good fate. This winter, the emperor's first son was born after his accession to the throne, and he named the child: Tianjiao, which means the pride of the sky, and the emperor was overjoyed when the son was born, and ordered an amnesty to the world and the people to enjoy together.
In April after the year, Xu Yuan officially performed the crown ceremony, and good fate named him Junrui. In the next three years, the world continued to suffer, the emperor appointed Liu Huizu to enter the court as the secretary of the military department, and his uncle Liu Rui as the prime minister, they excluded dissidents in the court, colluded with friends, and blocked all the news that was unfavorable to them.
