Chapter 170: Hatred of the Enemy
The old sacrificial wine twisted his hair and nodded: "Baby, when you talk about being smart and witty, you are not inferior to your father back then." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Things turned out beyond everyone's expectations. Your father woke up and returned home, listened to the family conveyed the old emperor's message, so he hurriedly gathered his family, wanted to go west out of Anyuanmen, to chase the westward migration of Luan, how could Chang'an at that time has been broken by the dangerous rebels, and your father suddenly suffered from malaria after a hangover, his body was weak, and he could not bear the long journey, at that time it was said that your mother was in charge, and the family stayed in Chang'an City. ”
Lai Xing'er heard the old sacrificial wine mention his mother, and remembered that once his mother learned that she was selected as the eyeliner of Empress Zhang and transferred to the East Palace, she made up her mind to save herself from the worries of being coerced by others by committing suicide. He was still reminiscing about his mother, so he listened to the old sacrificial wine and continued: "Sure enough, after the rebels entered the city, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in Chang'an City as soon as possible, they began to search for the ministers of the court who were still stranded in Chang'an City, promising them to be high-ranking officials and persuading them to take up false positions. The rebels forcibly took your father from his home and forced him to accept the canonization of the Ministry of Rites, and from then on, your father wore the hat of a traitor on his head.
However, your father did not really join the rebels, as the world legend goes. When the first emperor led the army to launch a counteroffensive against the rebels in Chang'an, your father and two other people were forced to serve as a puppet bachelor to secretly plan and send the rebels a detailed deployment of troops in Chang'an City.
Despite this, after the first emperor led his army to recover Chang'an, he bitterly hated the ministers of the court and the central government who had succumbed to the enemy when Chang'an fell, and issued three strict decrees in succession.
At that time, when the old man followed the old emperor back to Beijing from Shudi, the old emperor had been regarded as the emperor by the first emperor, although his status was respected, but the authority in his hands was lost, and he could not exonerate your father.
Out of comradeship, the old man wrote three times to implore the first emperor to spare the lives of your father and the others. The first emperor and your father had a good relationship, after hearing the fact that your father and other three people secretly helped the official army to recover Chang'an, he once planned to save the lives of your father and the other three, but at that time, the internal and external discussions were boiling, everyone regarded the rebel as a mortal enemy who killed his father, and your father did accept the rebel order, and he was in the prominent position of the Ministry of Rites, if he spared your father from death, it was bound to cause an uproar in the court, and the first emperor was quite worried that the world pointed out that he was as soft-hearted as his father, so as to invite the catastrophe, so he endured the painand escorted your father and three others to the foot of the single willow tree with a group of traitors, and sentenced them to death to calm down the criticism of the people.
After your father was beheaded, the first emperor finally felt guilty, so he secretly passed the edict to the old man's request, and set up tombstones for the three Hanlin scholars of the first dynasty in the remote courtyard of this country. ”
Lai Xing'er listened to the old sacrificial wine about his father's past, and couldn't help but two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks: since he entered the palace at the age of ten, for so many years, he has silently endured the evil words of others, wearing the hat after being a traitor, and he can't raise his head in front of people, how many nights, he thinks of his life experience, every time he washes his face with tears, sleepless all night, and often has the heart of retreat. Until the night when Chang'an was once again captured by the Tubo, in this inconspicuous courtyard in the Guozi Prison in a corner outside the imperial city, listening to the white-haired old sacrificial wine tell the truth about his father's rebellion back then, how could Lai Xing'er not be sad and outward?
The old sacrificial wine patted Lai Xing'er's shoulder with concern, and said with two points of apology: "The old man used to be the elder in front of your father, but he couldn't save his life, and tonight he was broken by the barbarians. It's not early now, the Tubo people are only afraid that they have controlled the situation in Chang'an City, baby, escape from the city from the secret passage, if you don't leave, it's really too late. ”
Lai Xing'er's heart was rippling, still immersed in the longing for his parents, where to pay attention to the bitter persuasion of the old sacrificial wine.
Seeing that Lai Xing'er couldn't calm down for a while, the old sacrificial wine turned to Jiang Zhongshi and instructed: "Come into the house and pick up your sister-in-law, and go with your eldest brother." He reluctantly shouted at Jing Zhao, Xin Twelve Niang and others at the gate of the courtyard: "Look at Xing'er's face, a few of you will also follow my old servant to escape from the city through the secret way." ”
Who knows, after he finished speaking, no one in the courtyard moved. Jiang Zhongshi was busy taking care of Jinping with Lai Xing'er, when the old sacrificial wine told Lai Xing'er about the past, he remembered that there was a little white dragon and "chasing the wind" two beloved horses under the big elm tree behind the house, so he ran to the back of the house and hugged a large bundle of hay to feed them, and just turned out of the back of the house at the moment. Avenge the mother. ”
Jing Zhao was moved by Jiang Zhongshi's words, walked in front of him in a few steps, took one of his hands, and said movingly: "With your good brother by our side, we will simply stay in Chang'an City and have a big fight with that Tubo barbarian, even if we die, we can meet my sister in Huangquan." ”
The desperate Bo Hu, who had been chased by Jing Zhao, also clapped his arms and shouted, "That's right. A few years ago, Marshal Meng Jing had the grace of not killing Bohu, and now it is the time for Bohu to repay Marshal Jing's kindness, and I still have dozens of brothers in ambush in this city, all of whom have come out together, and we will have a happy battle with the Tubo people to see who is the real warrior. ”
"Nonsense!" The old sacrificial wine stood up tremblingly and roared angrily, "With just a few of you, can you drive the Tubo people out of Chang'an City?" Those who have no reason will only lose their lives in vain. The old man learned that Jing Yuncong, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, is now leading the army to be stationed in Fengtian, which is less than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, and instead of staying in the city to die, it is better to immediately go out of the city from the secret road, make a detour to Fengtian to defect to Marshal Jing, and then meet and kill back to Chang'an, and completely drive the Tubo people out of Chang'an.
