Chapter Forty-Eight: The Heaven of the Firmament
The dark clouds outside the sky stopped and went, leaving fallen leaves all over the ground, and the autumn wind wrinkled the puddles gathered in front of the incense case, and kneaded Zhao Yongxiaosuo's lonely face.
The ceremony of memorial has ended, the bodies of Sima Chong and the deputy general were ordered by Zhao Yong to be buried in the back of the city guard's mansion, originally Zhao Yong also wanted to build a ancestral hall for Zhongshan people to worship, but Le Yi Wu Guang tried his best to dissuade him, so he stopped his thoughts. In Le Yi's words, there are many ways to show your kindness, and it is not necessary to use this way. If it spreads, maybe everywhere Zhao Jun goes, there will be people like Sima Chong who are fighting to the death, and then it will be sad. Even so, Zhao Yong's arrangements for the aftermath of Sima Chong and others were grand enough, which once made Zhao Jun a little surprised, and he didn't even know whether he had merit or fault in breaking Shiyi?
At this time, Zhao Yongping retreated from Le Yi and the others, leaving Zhao Guang beside him, holding an oil umbrella, lest he get the restless Zhao Yong wet and cause a cold again, and the gains outweigh the losses. However, in the face of this bleak autumn wind, Zhao Guang still urged Zhao Yong to hurry back, he really didn't understand what Zhao Yong had to think about in the face of these two tombs.
"Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder, so let's go back early."
Zhao Yong moved his lips, as if he was saying something, but because the voice was too small, he didn't hear it clearly, so he approached Zhao Yong's side, but heard Zhao Yong say: "The sky is the sky, destroy my beloved." If it can be redeemed, people will have a hundred bodies. Zhao Yong kept repeating this sentence as if he was in a demon.
Zhao Guang accompanied Zhao Yong to read when he was young, and he is still very familiar with these two sentences, which is a famous article, which talks about the nostalgia of the Qin people for Qin Mugong, and even willing to replace him with himself. When Sima Chong and the two were buried just now, the people of Zhongshan kept singing this poem. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yong still remembered these two sentences, thinking that Zhao Yong was haunted by Sima Chong's ghost and wanted to be martyred for Sima Chong.
Just as he was about to say a few words of persuasion, he heard a crisp sound behind him. Zhao Yong had already retreated from the others except himself just now, and there were no Zhao people around except for two or three patrolling soldiers not far away. Zhao Guang immediately became alert, drew his sword and turned around, and saw a person with his hands behind his back, dressed in black, and carrying a black hat. Under the gloomy sky, they couldn't see each other's appearance clearly.
The surrounding soldiers also seemed to have discovered the situation here, and immediately reacted, and quickly moved closer to this side, lest something happen to Zhao Yong. After a while, this person will be surrounded, but if this person moves a little, he will immediately become a ghost under the knife.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Zhao Guang saw that Zhao Yong didn't make the slightest move, so he had to ask the man in black first. While looking at the other party, he concentrated on observing the other party's movements, since the other party can appear behind him quietly, then this person is not something that he can win alone.
But the man in black didn't seem to be interested in talking to him, just lowered his head, his voice was cold like this cold weather, and said gloomily: "Is the king regretting it?" ”
As soon as he opened his mouth here, not only Zhao Guang, but even Zhao Yong knew who the other party was, but he still looked at Sima Chong's grave and said, "Mr. Juzi, don't come unharmed, Yong, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
Hearing Zhao Yong's self-proclaimed name, instead of being a lonely widow, Zhao Guang also affirmed his thoughts, and then looked at the man in black, only to see that the other party finally raised his head, revealing a little true face, Zhao Guang was sure that this person was the Mo family giant who had a relationship in Linzi back then.
When it was said that when the city was broken, he wanted to start a hand-to-hand battle with the Zhongshan people and the Zhao army, but for some reason, the deputy general insisted on surrendering. When the two were pushing, the deputy general still took advantage of the carelessness of the abdomen and asked his subordinates to come the abdomen. As a result, when he woke up, he found himself outside Shiyi City, and Shiyi City had surrendered. Only then did he know that although the deputy general had a different concept from himself, he still treated the belly as a comrade-in-arms, otherwise, with the reputation of the belly, if he handed it over to Zhao Jun, he would definitely make himself soar. But he didn't.
"When I saw you this time, I didn't expect you to have some lack of energy and blood, presumably this is the first time to lead troops, you must be exhausted."
"Don't you be exhausted." Zhao Yong turned around, waved his hand to disperse the Zhao Jun who surrounded the three of them, looked at the abdomen, and said with a wry smile: "It's better to live than to die." ”
"Hehe, if it weren't for seeing the gentleman look so lost and depressed, I would still think that the monarch was enjoying it?" Although he was facing Zhao Yong, he obviously didn't care about his identity.
"Having fun?" Zhao Yong shook his head, "When Mr. says this, it's like saying that Yong is a murderer." ”
"The king launched the battle to destroy Zhongshan, although only one stone town has been conquered now, but the casualties of the two armies have been no less than 10,000 people, and the grain and grass consumed can be used by the people for two to three years, and as for other consumption, it is even more unknown. And this is just the expense of laying the stone eup. Speaking of this, the belly raised his head, and the indifference in his eyes made Zhao Guang involuntarily take a step back, and hurriedly approached Zhao Yong, so as not to hurt Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong's face was calm, he looked at the belly, and listened to him continue: "As far as I know, the central army and the right army of the Zhao army have been besieging the city for several days and have been attacking continuously. As long as the news of Shiyi's victory spreads, the morale of the Zhongshan defenders in the two cities will inevitably plummet, and the breakthrough is just around the corner. At that time, I am afraid that it will be another sea of corpses and blood. As if talking about the most sad thing for him, his belly was even more cold, "On that day, the casualties of the two armies will definitely increase." This sum of blood debt, no matter how many Sima Chong you buried, can't wash away the sin. As the initiator of this war, can you, Zhao Yong, still face Sima Chong so calmly? ”
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded, and the dark clouds in the sky finally gathered, and the wind swept up the fallen leaves, as if it was the same as the belly, accusing Zhao Yong's atrocities. Zhao Guang watched the rain get heavier and heavier, and the raindrops became heavier and heavier, so he quickly tilted the oil umbrella a little more towards Zhao Yong. He knew that now, even if he wanted to leave, the other party would not let him go easily. had to surround Zhao Yong and maintain a defensive state at all times.
"Mr. is wrong, Lone has nothing to repent of Sima Chong." The two confronted each other for a moment, and Zhao Yong said slowly.
"Sure enough, it is not easy to admit mistakes if you want to be the **** of a country." Belly said with a sneer. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Yong had refuted him speechlessly in Linzi, he would have a slight impression of Zhao Yong, and he would have no doubt that he would understand Zhao Yong's life in the next moment. The distance between the two was calculated by him, although there was a Zhao Guang in the middle, but in the eyes of the belly, it was not worth mentioning.
"The reason why General Sima is buried so thickly is that he is respected as a man, bloody and responsible. Swearing not to surrender is the integrity of a soldier. It is a great fortune for Zhongshan to have such a general. Zhao Yong said: "As for his lieutenant general, seeing Shangguan die tragically in his ideals, and he died in guilt, it can be regarded as his loyalty and righteousness, and the two of them are so upright that they can't be used by Zhao Guo, which is really a loss for Zhao Guo." ”
"Don't you think, your lord, you said a fluttering order in your mouth, the people were displaced, and the soldiers died, all because of you?"
"Sir, Lone once encountered an old thing, and I hope Mr. will help Lone Kai unravel it."
He was about to despair of Zhao Yong, thinking that this person was irretrievable, but he heard that Zhao Yong wanted to ask him for advice, knowing that he must argue for himself, and he also felt that he had ended him like this, and he couldn't convince him, so he calmed down and said slowly: "Listen to the confusion of the king." ”
"Lone once heard Lord Sikong say such a case, saying that there is a village in Handan, and there is a plague in a year, and the whole village is almost avoidable, only the two doctors in the village, an old man and a young man, have some experience with the plague. One day, a farmer went for treatment, and although the two tried their best to heal, they were still weak. When the farmer died, his wife sued the two of them, because the doctor could not save her husband because he could save others. ”
The rain is still falling, and the three of them are opposites, Zhao Yong said slowly, and Belly Yu listened quietly, but he still didn't know what Zhao Yong wanted to express.
Finally, the little doctor could not stand the torture, so he confessed that there was a problem with the prescription used by the old doctor, and that there was a medicinal herb in it, which was newly picked by the doctor, although its medicinal properties were unknown, but it had some miraculous effects on the plague. It's just that its efficacy is extremely unstable, some people use it to heal, and some people use it to die. Although the little doctor discouraged the old doctor from using it many times, the old doctor insisted on using it after explaining to his family. That's why this sin came about. ”
"Yousi finally decided that the old doctor knew that the drug was harmful, but he still used it in vain, and such a vicious person must be sentenced to death. The old doctor felt that he did not take it, although the effect of this medicine was unstable, but he had already explained it in advance, not to mention, only by constantly trying and judging the difference between the people who use it, can he really grasp the effect of this medicine, what is his guilt? After Sikong got the case file, he was undecided, so he went to Lone's place and asked Lone to adjudicate. Speaking of this, Zhao Yong glanced back at his abdomen, and said in a slightly dull voice: "Sir, do you think that the judgment of Yousi is reasonable?" ”
When he heard this, his heart suddenly became entangled. In fact, his point of view is exactly the same as that of Yousi, human life is expensive, and the old doctor insists on testing the medicine with people when he can't stabilize the properties of the medicine, which is completely contrary to the purpose of the doctor's parents' hearts.
But on the other hand, the reason why the old doctor did this was not for himself, but because he hoped to collect such cases so that the medicine could be used by the people, so that the old doctor was not wrong.
The belly, which seemed aggressive just now, immediately fell into its own logic and couldn't extricate itself, as if neither of them was guilty. Especially the old doctor, if he is really sentenced to death, I am afraid that no one will dare to test new medicinal materials in the future. The damage caused is absolutely immeasurable.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I lost." He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yong, "It's okay for you to argue, you are not an opponent." ”
