Chapter 340: Hot Springs Palace (Part II)
(a)
"What a faux pas." You said apologetically to Xu Zaitian.
You say, "I've always felt sorry in my heart that I can only lie down like this and see you, sir." It was the same when we first met. On the way to the hot springs, I kept thinking about going out to meet you for 20 miles. But I couldn't. I can only let Wu Shun go for me. Slow. I beg your pardon, sir. ”
Xu Zaitian called out movingly: "General", and his voice choked.
You say, "After the separation of Jinfeng Village, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year." The gentleman is a bit old. My hair is a little gray. It can be seen that these days, Mr. is not having a good time in Yunzhou. ”
You said: "Although Mr. did not say anything in the letter, I know that Mr. is regarded as my person by the royal court of Yunzhou, and his life must be very delicate, with all kinds of unspeakable pressures and embarrassments, and a lot of misunderstandings and grievances." In this environment, he must not only endure humiliation and deal with them properly, but also work hard to plan and overcome all kinds of difficulties and delays in such an environment, and make every effort to ensure the supply of military supplies for the war on both fronts, so that the supply of military supplies on the two fronts can remain timely and unimpeded, so as not to hinder the operations of the officers and men on the front line in the slightest. I feel all kinds of hardships, all kinds of fatigue, and all kinds of mental exhaustion, and I deeply understand them. ”
You say, "It's all because I decided to take refuge in the King of Han." It is because I have decided to pay tribute to the King of Han that Mr. will suffer these grievances today, and he will pay double the hard work. Although the errand of the gentleman is unknown, it is a real hard work. ”
You say, "So, on the way back from the grassland, I was thinking that when I arrived at the Hot Springs Palace and my husband came to meet me, I must personally go out of the palace to greet him, and make a special trip to greet him, and say sorry and thank you in person." Sir was wronged for me. ”
As soon as you said this, it reached Xu Zaitian's heart.
Xu Zaitian only felt that his whole body was warm, and tears couldn't help but fall.
Xu Zaitian was so moved that he trembled: "If you talk about grievances, if you talk about hard work, who can compare to the general's dedication." ”
(b)
You feel a dull ache in your head and a collapse in your lungs again. You can't speak for a while.
Xu Zaitian looked at the fine beads of sweat on your forehead and your difficult breathing, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
When your face softened a little, he said sadly: "The general went to fight on the northern front this time, and he lost a lot. For the sake of the country, the general does not hesitate to work hard every time, does not hesitate to be injured and bleed, and consumes himself like this, the emotion in Xu's heart is really indescribable. ”
You say, "That's it." The duty of a soldier is to sacrifice himself for the stability of the world. ”
You say, "Compared with those brothers who died in a foreign land and will never return, our efforts are really nothing." ”
Xu Zaitian agreed.
You said: "Although Mr. stayed in Yunzhou, he was not born and died with the soldiers, and experienced the wind, sword, frost and sword. However, the level of effort is the same. I know very well that the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and without Mr. Wang's strategy in the Yunzhou royal court, the war on the north and south lines will definitely not be so smooth. Although Mr. did not personally fight bloody battles on the front line, his contribution to the progress of the war was not lost to any of the generals in the army, comparable to Xiao He of the Han Dynasty in the settlement of the Guanzhong. Mr. worked hard, I don't know how many Han soldiers were saved from needless death, injury, frost and starvation, and all the Han soldiers deeply remembered Mr. Labor. ”
Xu Zaitian said: "Compared with the thousands of hardships and dangers experienced by the generals and the soldiers of the Han army, what are the small hardships of the subordinates in the peaceful environment? ”
He said: "In life, time flies, and there are not many things that can be done successfully. Xu is fortunate to be able to follow the general, for the stability and peace of the world, do one or two things, and do his best, and this life will not be in vain. ”
You stretched out your hand to Xu Zaitian. Your hands are clasped tightly together.
You say, "I'm glad to hear that, sir." ”
You say, "It's an honor in my life to meet him." ”
Xu Zaitian was moved: "It is a great honor for my subordinates to meet the general in this life." ”
(c)
You say, "However, there is one thing that the sir just said is wrong. It's not that Mr. follows me, but we follow King Han together. ”
You say, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness that my husband has shown me." However, this time, my husband has also seen with my own eyes, and my current physical condition is deteriorating, and I am afraid that sooner or later I will be a person who will not live forever, and it is unlikely that my husband will follow me for a long time. Sooner or later, the gentleman will be a courtier who is only loyal to the king of Han. ”
You say, "Since sooner or later you have to do this, why don't you get used to it from now on." ”
You said to Xu Zaitian: "Sir, I won't tell you, I'm afraid my old disease won't get better, and it's getting worse day by day, I know that I'm getting terminally ill, I'm afraid I won't live long." ”
Xu Zaitian said sadly: "How come? Don't say such things to the general, the imperial doctor in the Yunzhou Palace has no shortage of rejuvenation skills, as long as the general recuperates with peace of mind after the end of the war, he will be able to reverse the disease.
The general is in the prime of his youth, and his physical foundation is good, so there will be no bad luck. ”
You say, "Sir, don't have to comfort me. I know very well what my situation is, so I might as well prepare for the worst first. ”
You said: "During the Huaizhou Conference, Mr. Xu urged me to fight against the King of Han and establish myself as the king, and the King of Han would not be unaware of this old story. What kind of person King Han is, Mr. has served him in Yunzhou for so long, he must know better than me. Although King Han is broad-minded and ignores past suspicions, he will never forget this incident and will never be unguarded. From now on, Mr. must plan for himself as soon as possible, and don't let King Han have deeper prejudices against Mr. ”
You say, "When I was alive, of course, the King of Han was jealous of the mouse, and he would not have any disrespect to my old confidants." But after my death, the years have been long, and how the King of Han will treat you after a long time, I really don't count him accurate, and I am not sure. Sir, you must strengthen your self-protection from the beginning. ”
When Xu Zaitian heard this, seeing that you were thinking so carefully and long-term about his future, he suddenly felt heartfelt and even more sad, choked up again, and couldn't speak.
Xu Zaitian knelt down and fell to the ground for a long time before he choked up and said intermittently: "The general treats his subordinates with great care, and even such a long-term matter is so far-reaching for Xu. The general conforms to the major events of the world, and seeks peace for the world wholeheartedly, of course, the auspicious people are in heaven, and they are protected by the gods, and they will never be unfortunate before Xu. Listening to the general repeatedly say such things, Xu was really heartbroken and sad. ”
When you heard this, you sighed lightly, and motioned to Guan Wenliang and Wu Shun to help Xu Zaitian up.
You say, "People die at one time, even if they are not sick, it is the same, even if they die young in the prime of life, there is nothing unusual about it." ”
You say, "It's just an ordinary thing, there's nothing to be sad about." ”
