Winter turns to spring, and the white snow melts away.

The old trees in the courtyard had sprouted, and the gray-haired old man was as burly and straight as ever, and he looked at the snake spears placed on the weapon rack with his hands in his hands, and was silent for a while. There was the sound of trotting footsteps outside, and he glared back, a little head in a bun like horns poking into the door and grinning fearlessly.

"Daddy asked Zun'er to tell Grandpa that it's time to go out!" When the child finished speaking, he turned and ran away.

The old man smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled a piece of black cloth to cover the weapon, trotted after him, provoked the child wow ah ah screamed, rushed all the way to the front yard, two sons, two daughters and daughter-in-law, a large family was waiting there, Zhang Bao reached out and picked up the child who came to him, and walked out of the house side by side with the father who came.

Traveling far away to Lousang Village to worship Liu Bei's tomb is already a must-do for the family every year, but the road is far away, and when I get there, it is estimated that it is dark as in previous years, and the carriage usually has to be soft for my father to rest on the way, but this year's journey has been shortened a lot, and most of the roads have been renovated and paved with broken fine stones, although it is bumpy, it is a lot better.

In the afternoon dusk, Lousang Village had already been lively, the two carriages stopped, Zhang Bao went to help the old father down, the son Zhang Zun next to him had already run to the entrance of the village, and a child of the same age played, not long after, the old man in a green robe with white hair came out, with a smile on his face.

"Yide, you're a step too late."

Zhang Fei patted his son on the shoulder and asked him to go to the incense to be sacrificed, and then greeted him with a smile, the yellowish sunlight reflected the shadows of the two dying old men walking on the ground, looking at the towering trees in the village that were still flourishing, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Second brother, you and I are so old, you see that this tree is still the same as it was, and it hasn't changed at all." ”

"Trees live for a thousand years, and people only live for a hundred years, where can it be compared."

"This time the second brother came over, and he won't go back to Hedong?"

"I'm not going back." Guan Yu looked at the grandchildren who were shouting and chasing around the big tree, and smiled: "Come and go, my body and bones can't stand the toss, this time, let them dig a pit next to my brother's tomb, and wait for one day to kick my feet and bury the mat." ”

The two of them took the three incense sticks handed over, respectfully bowed in front of the tombstone crawling with moss, and then inserted it on the incense burner.

"Brother, you see how good the world is now, Yide and I are also in the same house for three generations, children and grandchildren are running all over the ground, trying to hold on for a few more years, and there will be four generations in the same house. Liu Chan is also doing very well now, he is a big official in Jinyang, the northern capital, and he will repair a letter to him another day, scold him for his brother, and ask him to come back and see you quickly. ”

Guan Yu wiped his eyes, and Zhang Fei next to him laughed: "Big brother, you see that the second brother loves to cry the older he gets, but don't worry, we will definitely come over to accompany you in the future, and when the time comes, you will move some land for us to come out, and protect you from left to right like before!" ”

The wind blew through the western clouds, and the mulberry leaves made a soft noise.

Eleven years have passed since the end of the last war of the Jin Emperor, and ten years of great rule have made the once war-torn land prosperous again, and Cao Ang of Xuchang, the capital of Gongwei, sorted out the household modulation that his father had roughly written, and obtained the approval of Gongsun Zhi, and only charged four liters of tax grain per mu to the landowners, which reduced the burden on the people to a certain extent.

In the past ten years, in addition to the land reform, the military-centered northern capital Jinyang has never stopped deterring neighboring countries, in the fourth year of pacifying Jiangdong, the Yue people instigated a rebellion in Rinan County, endangering Jiuzhen County, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan who sat in Shu got the Jinyang military order, and waved their troops south in the following year, wiped out 50,000 Yue people in a war, and beheaded 30,000 people to become Jingguan.

However, when the class returned to Shu, the veteran Yan Yan was too old, and he died in the army due to illness and was posthumously admonished by Gongsun Zhi: Dinghou.

The river is stacked with waves, rushing on the river beach, destined to the old group of generals will gradually withdraw from the first line, enter the court, and become the general group of Jinyang military center, and Xuchang in the Central Plains has become the economic center, when the spring is warm, the emperor will stay in Jinyang to deal with military affairs, the prince is in Xudu, spring and winter alternately, the two of them will exchange again, to ensure that once the troops are moved, the country is still in stability, and the army's logistics are not disturbed.

At the same time, because Gongsun Zhi has only one son, there is no possibility of the heirs vying for the crown prince.

Few people know that in the past ten years, the emperor's other son has come back, only a few people who know the knowledge of the tour throughout the You, Hebei, and three states, after a year of study in Jinyang, before returning to the West, before leaving, Dimat's eyes are somewhat reluctant, but he knows that the other side is also unable to give up.

And his mother Ren Hongchang returned once every two years, and later it became three years, and every time the other party came back, he asked for some Taoist alchemy pills, and he was almost obsessed with immortality, and even said: "When the elixir of life is refined, I want my husband to be a real long-lived emperor." After a few years, she rarely came back, and Gongsun didn't want to come, she was getting older, and the madness couldn't help tossing like this.

As the sun set, in the grassland outside Jinyang City, there were two war horses slowly walking back, and in the dim light, the old man with a somewhat rickety figure looked at Xiri, "I heard that Lianghou took his brothers to kill the Cheshi country and slaughtered the king." ”

"Heh....Wen Hou said that it was a little worse, and he also snatched the princess back to be a concubine for his son." On the back of another brown war horse, Gongsun Zhi's beard was gray, and his face was smiling, and the wrinkles were piled together, "It's good to be young, not like you and me." ”

"Your Majesty, do you have me?" Lu Bu is taller than ordinary people, after getting older, rickets are more obvious than others, at this time his hair is white, looking at the sunset and sighing: "When I was still young, how can I ride a horse like now, I can only ride docile, once I sneaked out for a few laps, and went back to be complained by Zhen'er and Lingqi for a long time, and my wife was even more troublesome to sleep with me, if it wasn't for Your Majesty to come over and invite me today, I'm afraid I would be basking in the sun at home." ”

Lu Bu may have been tired from riding, his somewhat cloudy eyes lowered, and he looked at Gongsun Zhi next to him, "Your Majesty, this is something on your heart, what is it about?" ”

“…… There are indeed some. Gongsun Zhi took the reins, was silent for a moment, and tilted his head and said: "The world has been peaceful for so many years, and those armies in the past also thrived here, and Wen Hou has not paid attention to political affairs for three years, do you know how many people are there now?" ”

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Almost...... These people have Han blood in their bodies, the blood of Xianbei and Xiongnu, and the blood of Western tribes, all of them are unruly, fierce and ruthless, and they want to fight every day, and the Liaodong Peninsula has only been sacked once, Guo Huai almost can't help it, so he crossed the sea and ran to the Wa Kingdom. ”

He stopped when he said this, Lu Bu looked at him, but his face was with a complicated smile, and he shook his head: "Your Majesty is worried that it will not be able to deal with this group of people, leaving hidden dangers for the crown prince." I can't really help with that. ”

"Actually, it's really not good to fake this matter, these soldiers and horses have been influenced by their fathers since childhood, killing people and eating people are not serious, and they are wild and untamable, if I die suddenly, I am afraid of causing trouble and causing trouble to Zheng'er, and I have never fought a war, and the generals who can fight are all old one by one, and I am not at ease if I am not old, after all, I must put an end to such a thing."

Seeing that it was getting dark, the two of them slowly returned to the waiting line over there, and Lu Bu said goodbye to him: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and what you are worried about is not only the world, where do others dare to ask, even if they dare to ask, it may not affect Your Majesty's mind." ”

"I know, Wen Hou should also go back, so that Mrs. Yan will sleep with you again." Gongsun Zhi stood on the bus and waved at him before getting in and leaving in the car.

Looking at the procession of soldiers and forests winding back to the city, Lu Bu stood beside two children, the eldest was about ten years old, and the younger one was only six or seven years old and Lu Zhen's children, but they were all boys, the younger children raised their little faces, pulled the old man's cuffs and pointed to the distant team, and asked crisply: "Grandfather..... grandfather..... who is that person, so majestic." ”

"You don't even know this, it's the emperor." The older boy's name was Lu Kang, and he snorted, quite like his mother, and crossed his arms: "What my grandfather said before, you can't remember." ”

"No, of course Yi'er remembers." Lu Yi tugged at Lu Bu's sleeve, "Is that the emperor, grandfather?" ”

Lu Bu touched the little boy's bun, led them back to the carriage, and said with a smile as he went up: "Yes." He stood in the car and glanced back at the imperial banner that was about to disappear into the dark curtain, and muttered: "...... He was the emperor. ”

The setting sun sets its last rays.

In front of the procession returning to the city, a fast horse galloped across the long street, rushed towards the team entering the city, jumped down without waiting for the horse to stop, and whispered a few words in front of a strong man with a mace and a beard, the latter's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and came to the side of the royal car. The curtain was lifted from a corner, and Gongsun Zhi's voice came out, "Li Ke, what's the matter in a panic?" ”

"Boss ....." He snorted softly, and the voice behind him became audible only to the Emperor.

"Go back to the palace!"

The voice is short and urgent.

Soon, the speed of the marching procession increased sharply, rushing towards the palace gate, and in the night that had just fallen, a woman who had accompanied him for more than twenty years fell.

After getting out of the car, stepping on the stone steps section by section, there were already a few people waiting anxiously outside in front of the Ganlu Palace, and when they saw the emperor who came over, the prince who was now in his thirties greeted him, and before he could speak, he was swept away by Gongsun Zheng's sleeves: "Waiting outside." Fu Shou pulled Gongsun to look at the look on his face, and he didn't dare to go over to be relieved, and the other party walked straight into the dormitory.

In the gently swaying tent, a figure walked inside, the bronze lamppost burned with flames, and the faint black smoke intermittently in the air, perhaps hearing footsteps, the woman on the bed moved and opened her eyes.

"Your Majesty is here..... the concubine ..... the concubine ......"

She wanted to get up, but Gongsun Zhi pressed down and sat on the edge of the bed: "You don't need to get up, why did you suddenly get sick today?" Why didn't you send someone to inform me to come back sooner? ”

"The concubine doesn't want to disturb His Majesty....."

"Let's call my husband."

Cai Yan's chapped lips squeezed out a little smile, nodded, and called softly: "Husband." The quilt gently lifted a corner, and she reached out and rubbed a hand on the man's face.

"The concubine's father is a Confucian, and in such a family, except for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are few new things...... I thought that marrying Na Wei Zhongdao ....... like many women, she lived this life until she met her husband ....... ...... and arrogant...... Shameless...... But just like that, the concubine became your woman..... but never regretted it......"

Gongsun Zhi held her hand and put it on her face, "Why do you say these words, don't go on......"

The woman on the sickbed shook her head.

“.…… Let the concubine finish...... I can feel ..... feel that if I don't say it, I won't have a chance to say it in the future, Zheng'er is benevolent, too upright, and there will be a lot of losses in the future, as well as the emperor's grandson and grandson, and the husband needs to take care of the concubines more. ”

"Don't say it, whoever allowed you to say that, I killed him—"

Cai Yan gently took it out of his palm, wiped the water stains from the corners of the man's eyes, and mist appeared in his eyes that were not very bright, "The husband is crying..... but don't be afraid, don't be sad, the concubine just goes down first, and sweeps the bed and quilt for the husband......"

The white arm slowly lowered.

"...... concubines are also careful to think about it...... Walking in front, there will not be too much sadness in my heart..... the concubines are very ..... happy...... I was able to meet ...... at the best of times."

"...... husband."

The night wind whimpered and ran through the corridor outside, the wind squeezing in the lights and flickering under the emperor's eyes, he held his wife's hand tightly, and watched as a drop of water slowly fell out of his closed eyes and fell on the wooden pillow.

"If you are a husband, you will grit your teeth and live hard for another ten years, you have to wait for me below......" Gongsun Zhi stroked the strands of his old wife's white hair, hugged her, and whispered in his ear.

It's just that there is no voice to answer him anymore.
