Chapter 54: Sadness
"Zeyuan ......"
"Father, I'm ......," Qiu Zeyuan hurriedly held his father's hand that he had worked so hard to reach out to him.
"Since you were a child, your father has belittled you too much, not how bad you really are, but I want you to do better......"
Qiu Zeyuan sobbed and couldn't even speak clearly, but knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Qiu Jiyuan could understand his words, "I know father, I know, I used to be bad, I always didn't listen to you, made you angry, what you say in the future, I will do anything, promise to listen to you, father, don't leave me behind,......"
"Listen to me and don't interrupt me again...... You say that you always don't listen to me, but in fact, so far, you have only disobeyed me, and it is only for one person. Father said something you don't like to hear, and I'm extremely glad that woman died in front of me, because I know that she can no longer influence your decisions and lower your bottom line......"
Saying that, Qiu Jiyuan actually laughed, but Qiu Zeyuan cried even more ugly, "But even if this woman dies, I'm still worried that your temperament can't bear such a heavy and heavy country, it's a good thing that you value love and righteousness, but you must not let this word love and righteousness drag you down and become an excuse for you to be indecisive and swaying from side to side, doing whatever you want is a taboo for the monarch, and indecision is the same!" At this point, Feng Yi is doing better than you. ”
Qiu Jiyuan stretched out his other hand to Tong Fengyi, and folded the hands of the two together, Tong Fengyi hurriedly said: "Uncle Qiu, don't worry, I will devote my life to assisting Zeyuan with all my heart and mind, and I will never rebel." ”
Qiu Zeyuan heard Tong Fengyi's words, and also said: "Father, I will believe in Feng Yi for the rest of my life, support him and hold on to him, and never doubt each other." ”
Qiu Jiyuan heard the words of the two juniors and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, you know my wishes." But what needs to be said, I'm still going to say. Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden. Brothers centrifugal, the building will fall. Both of you should keep these eight words firmly in mind. ”
"Yes." Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi responded in unison.
Qiu Jiyuan smiled again: "Okay, you all go out, I'm going to talk to my good brother......"
The others retreated one after another, Tong Guangting sat next to Qiu Jiyuan, and said first: "You talk to me about people!" I've known you for fifty-four years, and you can't let me have a bad year, right? Don't cry there with a sad face and leave a last word, I don't care about you! ”
Qiu Jiyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I still know that I am an old man in his fifties, just like a child, I think, it is worse than your child." ”
"You're looking for me alone to hurt me, huh? If you want to do this, Lao Tzu won't serve you anymore! ”
"Sit there! Still playing with me? Tong Guangting didn't want to leave, but when he heard Qiu Jiyuan cough twice, he didn't dare to joke with him.
"I have two things I want to ask you, can you promise me?"
"What thing in my life have I never promised you? I just listen to you, I haven't even heard my father's words that much......"
Tong Guangting's laughter made Qiu Jiyuan's eyes wet instantly, he couldn't control his body anymore, so he could only let the tears slip out, "First, help me take care of Zeyuan, guard the country, and guard our brother's lifelong efforts." ”
Tong Guangting nodded. A lifelong friendship, there is no need to say more.
"Second, you have to live well, come back to see me in at least thirty years, don't let me go for less than two years before you come to me, be careful that I meet and kick you to death!" Saying that, Qiu Jiyuan's only remaining leg kicked a little.
Tong Guangting's tears fell suddenly, he turned his back, scolded and got out, then walked out with a smile and called Qiu Jiyuan the person he wanted to see the most at the moment......
Qiu Min looked at her husband, who was injured by a poisoned arrow and could not save his life with only one leg left, and the blood in his heart seemed to be drained.
"Come here, I want to lean in your arms for a while." Qiu Jiyuan's gentleness is the same as when he was newly married.
At that time, the room was full of warm red, festive red, and now it is also red, but it makes her heart twist. Qiu Min gently lifted her husband's upper body and let him lean on him, Qiu Jiyuan said softly: "After I leave, you follow your son well, your son is filial, and you will be blessed with endless blessings......"
Qiu Min, who had always been gentle, suddenly attacked, "No! If he had the slightest intention of being filial to his parents, he would not have refused to marry a wife and have children until now. I'm sorry for you, the son you gave birth to is so wolf-hearted! If you had accepted a few more concubines back then, it would not have been only Zeyuan's son, which would have made you break your heart for him! ”
Qiu Jiyuan gently patted his wife's arm holding him and said, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't mention this matter again?" Why is it here again? You can't have children because you fell into a disease when you were born Zeyuan, how can I marry another woman because of this? Besides, what woman can be by my side more than you when you are drooping, and understand my joys and angers, sorrows and joys? It's a pity that the blessings of my life have come to an end......"
Qiu Jiyuan felt his wife's tears falling in his hair little by little, and his heart was sad, fifty-four years passed in a hurry, how many Jin Ge iron horses rolled up the red dust, and how many red dust in the past were like smoke......
Qiu Zeyuan wanted to enter the house several times to look at his father again, but Tong Guangting blocked him back, until he came to the door for the ninth time, but the door was opened from the inside......
"Mother's ......"
Qiu Min didn't even look at his son, his eyes fell on a few dead branches on the eaves opposite, "Overseer, die." ”
The crowd fell to their knees, weeping and mourning. No one saw Join walk out of the courtyard in a daze, and out of the Overseer's House, and no one ever found her again......
Qiu Zeyuan cried and cried and suddenly got up and rushed out of the courtyard, Tong Fengyi hurriedly ran over to stop him.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill Zhao Qiao, that vicious and despicable villain! I'm going to kill him! My father said that I was indecisive, and it was indeed my indecision that fell into that Zhao Yu's trap! Give them a chance to come and assassinate their father! I won't waver anymore, I'll kill that dog thief right now! ”
Qiu Zeyuan ignored Tong Fengyi's obstruction, and rushed out with all his might, Tong Fengyi was not a military person after all, he couldn't compare to Qiu Zeyuan's brute strength, so he simply let go of him, and Qiu Zeyuan lost his resistance and fell to the ground.
"There you go! Kill it! Why are you still lying on the ground like a waste dog?! Kill Zhao Qiao? Tong Fengyi sneered, "I see that you can't even kill a chicken now!" To kill chickens, you have to find the right time to go down cleanly, not to mention killing Zhao Yu, the Puxi overseer! Let me ask you, how do you want to kill Zhao Yu if you go now? Can he honestly sit there and wait for you to kill him?! I think Zhao Qiao is not wrong at all, you are just a lump of mud that can't support the wall! ”
Qiu Zeyuan's fall, he really woke himself up a lot, heard Tong Fengyi scolding himself, thinking of his father who was still lying in the room and needed to be buried, the storm in his heart gradually calmed down, but the edge in his eyes became more and more sharp, he slowly got up from the ground, slowly walked in front of Tong Guangting, and said calmly: "Uncle Tong, I know that now is the time for me and Feng Yi to hold up this sky, but I still want to ask you to help me gather people and gather people's hearts before leaving." ”
Tong Guangting looked at his son, then at Ji Yuan's son, nodded with satisfaction, and respectfully saluted Qiu Zeyuan: "Since the overseer has a plan in his heart, the old minister should do his best and die." ”
The New Year was originally the biggest festival of the year, but at the end of this year, the officials of all sizes in Yejin were worried and did not dare to publicize it. Zhao Qiao knew that after Qiu Jiyuan was hit by the incurable poison he had personally concocted, he would definitely die within five days, so he publicized the news that the Overseer had died on the border of Pudong, and for a time rumors spread and people's hearts were discouraged. Especially in Zhaoning, which was occupied by Zhao Yu, the soldiers died, the wounded, the fleeing, the surrendered, the people had no one to protect them, the old people were left to fend for themselves, all the men were killed, the women were forced to become prostitutes, the children were forced to be slaves, and the grief was everywhere, and purgatory on earth was nothing more than that. The border people are not happy, and the capital Yejin is not peaceful. Qiu Jiyuan's death was not unrelated to Qiu Zeyuan, which caused several battlefield veterans to be extremely dissatisfied with Qiu Zeyuan, and they all thought that Qiu Zeyuan was impetuous, and was not enough to take on the position of overseer. In addition, after the winter solstice dinner, a large number of generals disappeared, and their lives and deaths became mysterious, making many officials suspicious and at a loss. Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi, who had just taken power, had not returned to their homes for ten days, and they were either in the Overseer Office to discuss military affairs with generals at all levels, or in the Financial Department to discuss government affairs with the ministers.
On the evening of this day, Qiu Zeyuan and Tong Fengyi were discussing the method of persuading the veteran to agree to Qiu Zeyuan's relatives, in fact, Tong Fengyi did not approve of Qiu Zeyuan's relatives, because Qiu Zeyuan did not have an heir, if he died unexpectedly like Qiu Jiyuan at this time, Qiu would have no way to continue.
Before Tong Fengyi finished his thoughts, Tong Guangting pushed the door in, Qiu Zeyuan stepped forward to sit down with him, and asked, "Uncle Tong, what do they say?" Even if they don't obey me, they should always listen to you, right? ”
Tong Guangting's face was slightly gloomy, Qiu Zeyuan suddenly realized that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, since he took office, Tong Guangting has never admonished him as an uncle, just to establish his prestige as a superintendent in his heart and in the hearts of everyone. He should no longer regard Tong Guangting as an elder in official affairs, but should regard Tong Guangting as a loyal minister. If he doesn't see himself as an Overseer, who can he expect to trust his commands?
Tong Guangting saw Qiu Zeyuan's hint, his face softened slightly, and said: "Back to the Overseer, I conveyed to several old ministers that the Overseer is eager to kill the Zhao thief and avenge his father......"
