Chapter Ninety-Six: Bad News for Happy Waves
There is a Xu Wushan in Youzhou, and Liu Yu said that Wei You was buried there. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yanbei had never climbed the valley in Youbeiping County, although he had passed through it many times on horseback. There are so many mountains and rivers in the world, and there are few more interesting than this mountain, but Wei You's death makes this mountain have more significance to Yanbei and even the entire Youbeiping.
The Liyi Department took the old and weak women and children of the Liyang Battalion to return to Liao first, and Gao Ran Zhao Yun stationed the soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain.
Yan Bei ordered someone to roast the pheasant, and when he came, he carried a pot of endless wild brew from the wine bar on the side of the road in his hand, and took Jiang Jin and several guards to follow Wei You's eldest son towards the foot of the mountain.
The world is impermanent, and when Wei You was seriously ill, he left his last words, asking his wife to remarry and send his son back to his hometown in Youbeiping.
Most of the scholars here in Youzhou are poor, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, guarding the borders of the empire, and most of the rich families do not want to be officials in the state capital, and it is enough to be a strong man like Wang Song.
Wei You is no exception, Yan Bei went to his home to see, as a state official, although Wei You's family is not poor, but it is only a Chinese family. The most valuable thing is the horse that Yanbei once gave to Wei You in good condition, in addition to two ploughing cattle and more than 70 acres of land.
However, Yanbei didn't see the horse he sent, and I heard that it was replaced with a silk and a fine Nanmu coffin painted on the body when he was buried.
It's worth it.
Yan Bei was not there at the time of the funeral, and when he came back, it seemed that except for the eldest son who was only eight years old in the filial piety period, people seemed to have come out of their grief, Wei You's widow looked at a loss when she saw Yan Bei, and the son of filial piety seemed to have just felt the grief of his father's death.
The arrival of Yanbei once again ripped open the scars of the tragic family that lost their loved ones.
The child who led the way was named Wei Chun, who had only been enlightened in Jixian County for a year, and he was very tiger-headed, with a plaything-like bow pinned to the back of his slightly wide white filial piety robe...... Looking at the back of the child walking briskly through the sheep intestine path, Yan Bei thought of himself for no reason.
The deep memories of his childhood years in his mind, in addition to his mother's constant nagging when he was alive to remember that he was wrapped in skin and riding on the back of a ewe to graze, it seems that the most profound is that Wang Yi's father's rough palm stroked his and his brother's cheeks during the great funeral, and the rough palm lines of the old blacksmith were painful. The old blacksmith who was in charge of the funeral said that their father was a good man, so their brother had to be promising.
At that time, he didn't know what it was.
The cicadas chirped loudly in the sun, and Yan Bei watched the villain in front of him jump in the road, and the group followed behind.
Jiang Jin followed Yan Bei and scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and tried to urge Wei Chun to hurry up several times but was stopped by Yan Bei, God knows where Yan Bei got such good patience, and walked unhurriedly behind the head corner boy...... Condolences to Wei You are just a formality for him, why be serious?
Walking through a large field with green stubble, the tenants in the fields wearing calf-nosed pants greeted Wei Chun in twos and threes when they saw Wei Chun coming, but then they saw Yan Bei and his party holding a steel knife with a waist and crotch behind him, and they were silent and buried themselves in their work, not daring to make a sound.
The place where Wei You was buried was on a wasteland in the Wei family's field, with extinguished candles on the heavy desk next to the small grave, and white flags erected around it like a forest.
The Han Chinese believe that there is a soul after death, and that it has great power that is different from that of the living.
Yanbei put the pheasant on the table, sat on the side, burned incense and worshipped...... He came late, otherwise he could have buried some money at the time of burial and left Wei You to live underground.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no paper money, and thick burials were prevalent, and real gold and large money were buried together, which was also the reason for the frequent tomb robbery.
"Xiao Chun'er, come and sit here." Yanbei didn't get up after worshipping, invited Wei Chun to sit next to him, tore off the chicken on the table and ate two bites, picked up the wine jug and drank a little, then poured it to the ground, and asked Wei Chun: "I am commensurate with your father and brother, how about going to study in Liaodong when the filial piety period expires?" ”
Wei Chun looked at Yan Bei timidly and didn't dare to speak, sitting next to him and glancing helplessly at the grave.
Jiang Jin smiled when he looked at Wei Chun's appearance with his arms crossed his head behind him, touched Dian Wei who was guarding next to him, and shouted to Wei Chun: "You Ah Weng can't jump out!" ”
"Shut up!" Yan Bei turned his head and glared angrily, and said to Jiang Jinshu with a slap on his face: "After you die, do you want others to say this about you?" ”
Jiang Jin was suffocated by Yan Bei's scolding, "What are you doing, it's just a joke." The general can't curse Jiang, he doesn't even have a wife and a son? ”
Yan Bei ignored Jiang Jin anymore, pulled Wei Chun and said, "Don't be afraid, you Ah Weng is famous in history, do you know what it means to be famous in history?" Even thousands of years from now, people will still know your name and what he has done. ”
Although Wei Chun's face was still full of confusion, Yan Bei knew that when this child grew up in a few years, these words would inspire Wei Chun like the meaning of the word 'out of breath' to him.
Yan Bei said, asked the rider to take out a box of books from the horseback and give it to Wei Chun, and said: "This is called "Mengde's New Book", which was given by my friend in the Central Plains, only half of it, and now Yan will give it to you...... He always loses wars, but he writes well, with six articles in total. When the filial piety period expires, I will wait for you in Liaodong. ”
Yanbei then ordered the soldiers to come over every month to send Wei Chun some big money, and then bowed to Wei You again and left.
On the way, Jiang Jin was silent for a long time, and it was not until he was almost at the camp that he whispered to Yanbei and asked, "Why did Erlang deceive that little er?" ”
"Where's the deception?"
"You said that Wei was engaged in leaving a name in history." Jiang Jin's expression was complicated, and he said slowly: "Although Wei Zhen is a good person, he wants to enter and enter the annals of history?" I'm afraid it's still far away, are you just trying to motivate this child? ”
"I didn't lie to him."
Yan Bei shook his head, immediately looked at the scenery of Xu Wushan in the distance, and said to Jiang Jin: "How sad is Brother Wei's death?" But thousands of years later, its name will be known to future generations. ”
Jiang Jin looked over suspiciously, but saw that Yan Bei's expression was determined, he raised his chin with a little pride, straightened his chest and inhaled: "Brother Wei persuaded Yan to return to seclusion, this matter alone is famous in history!" ”
Although Wang Yi's father was only a craftsman slave, he had been working all his life. But the words he inspired the Yan brothers revealed great wisdom that ordinary people could not match. Although the dead are dead, their achievements do not stop there, and carry on the shoulders of the living, the farther Yanbei goes in this life, the more people who have intersected with him will be praised by the world.
"When I die, I don't want to be like Wei You." Jiang Jin didn't pour cold water on the complacent Yanbei, just shook his head and said: "If I want Jiang to die, then the tombstone must be engraved with the tomb of King Jiang no matter what!" ”
"Ah Jin, those princes and kings around Emperor Gao, although there are transcendent heroes like Xiao Gong and Huaiyin Marquis, but the Yan King who hides in Tibet and the Wuwei Marquis who blows the drums and funeral music...... It doesn't have to be a great talent from the start, right? Yan Bei shook his head with a smile, and then asked Jiang Jin, "I heard that you plan to study recently?" ”
When Jiang Jin heard Yan Bei mention this, he felt that his heart was blocked, and he said with a shriveled face: "It's too difficult, I can't even draw words." ”
Hearing the unbearable appearance in Jiang Jin's voice, Yan Bei didn't think it was angry, but squinted and smiled: "There is still a lot of time, there should be no more battles this year, go back to find a Mengxue for you, recognize all the words, and you will be able to travel a thousand miles in the future!" ”
"Well, I'll talk about it when I go back, I'll talk about it when I go back." Jiang Jin really felt that it was much more difficult to make him literate than to carry a knife and fight hard with people, waving his hands, the boss reluctantly looked left and right, and suddenly saw a figure standing under the gate of the camp, which was quite familiar, and hurriedly stood up on horseback, holding the horsewhip and pointing to the camp gate and shouting to Yanbei: "General, do you see if the person outside the camp is Zhen Sanlang?" ”
Zhen Yao?
This is Youbeiping, what is Zhen Yao doing here?
Hearing Jiang Jin's voice, Yan Bei looked at the camp gate, raised his hand and whipped the horsewhip on the mount, suddenly stood out a hundred steps before reining in the horse, turned over and jumped down and shouted to Zhen Yao at the camp gate: "Ah Yao, why are you standing at the camp gate?" ”
Without waiting for Zhen Yao to speak, Gao Ran on the side said: "The general is back, but it's not that Gao won't let him enter the camp, Zhen Sanlang has been standing outside the camp for half an hour, and he will wait for you to come back." ”
Yan Bei nodded without blaming Gao Lan, turned his head to look at Zhen Yao, and saw Zhen Yao smiling, holding the bronze carved sun and moon eclipse box in his hand and saying: "General, Sister heard that you are back, let me bring you a little food, it's nothing, it's just some private talk...... Let's enter the account? ”
Speaking of Zhen Jiang, warmth appeared on Yan Bei's face, and he stretched out his hand to Zhen Yao and said, "Go, follow me into the account!" ”
"Is your sister doing well at home?" Yan Bei looked at Zhen Yao as he walked, and said, "It's darker, and I've lost some weight, but I'm more energetic than before...... It looks like he has endured hardships in the county for more than a year. ”
Zhen Yao still smiled innocently and replied: "Sister, everything is fine, but I am always worried that the general is fighting outside and has lost some weight." The family is also good, and they set up a Zhuangzi outside the city, and bought eight or nine Jian slaves from the county, and cultivated two acres of thin fields, so that they have no worries about food and clothing. ”
"Well, everything is fine, and Yan is relieved. Go, don't follow. Yan Bei replied and turned around to drive away Jiang Jin Gaolan and the others who came to the tent with a bad smile to eavesdrop, and scolded with a smile: "Get out!" Take a good look at the camp and go back to Liaodong to invite everyone to drink! ”
The generals dispersed laughingly, Yan Bei pulled Zhen Yao into the account, and was about to take the food box, but was stopped by Zhen Yao and said: "The general will see later, Sister A's cooking is all cold food, don't be anxious." The younger brother came to be ordered by Fu Taishou to tell the general some news. ”
As he spoke, Zhen Yao opened the curtain and glanced outside, and then whispered to Yan Bei: "Brother-in-law, let me tell you first, don't worry, Shuqing is fine." ”
Is Shuqing okay?
Liu Yu took Yan Zhongqing for him, and Yan Dong naturally chose the word Shuqing. But Zhen Yao said that Shuqing was fine, what happened?
Could it be ...... Has Lelang changed?
Yan Bei hurriedly said: "What's the matter! ”
"Some time ago, Shuqing was assassinated in Wang Weicheng and was seriously injured...... But life is at stake! Seeing that Yan Bei's face sank, Zhen Yao hurriedly said: "The assassin has been caught, but I don't know who sent it. ”
"You go, tell Ah Jin to tell Ah Xiu, let them find it for me! Find Youzhou, find the best doctor in Jizhou, and get me Lelang! Yan Bei gritted his teeth and shouted such a sentence, turned his head and walked outside the tent, grabbed the drumstick, slammed it on the war drum, and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order, set off immediately, and go the same way!" ”
