Lin Fan's military life was very peaceful, at first he was ordered to come to be a military doctor, but Jieli was too weak, and he basically didn't dare to fight, the morale of the Tang army increased greatly, and there were not many wounded soldiers in the Tang army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, there are also some soldiers who died on the spot who can't be saved, even though Lin Fan is a skilled doctor in this world, but he doesn't have the art to bring the dead back to life.

Due to his professional habits, he routinely went to the various camps to inspect the wounded, and after knowing that they had basically recovered almost, his heart was also a little more relaxed, and they could be discharged from the hospital, without any more concern from him.

Lin Fan, who returned to the camp tent, was ready to sleep for the day, but he didn't expect to come to the guest, saying that it was because he was not familiar with the guest, and there were often people in and out of his tent, but they were all people he knew, but the guy in front of him with a fishy smell and a beard on his face, Lin Fan was a little unfamiliar, and he only knew that he was Kang Sumi, the general of the dead country who defected to him.

As soon as he came in, he put down the wooden box wrapped in yellow silk in his hand, and bowed slightly to Lin Fan, Lin Fan didn't have much feeling for this lost dog who carried Empress Xiao and Prince Yuande to the Tang Army camp, and he didn't despise or have a good feeling.

However, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty look down on the person who betrays the master, even if Kang Sumi betrays the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, they also look down on it, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have long been accustomed to using violence to make the enemy submit, disdain for conspiracies and tricks, and disdain for the method of betrayal, so they can no longer find any other expression except contempt for Kang Sumi.

Lin Fan is not one of those belligerent killers, he doesn't have such a deep contempt for Kang Sumi, but he thinks that he is a smart person who understands current affairs, since the previous master has no future, then choose another master, smart people will do this, people's nature is selfish, especially their own lives are more selfish, who would lose their lives for righteousness, not to be born on the same day in the same year but to die on the same day and in the same year, but to die on the same day and in the same year, but just the wild words that were hot-headed at that time were really at the time of life and death, They will all prioritize their lives over being buried with you.

This kind of person is a little contemptuous in Tang Jun's eyes, they have the qualifications to despise, Lin Fan believes that they will do it, these killings have been educated since childhood, and they have deeply stored this kind of stupid thoughts in his mind.

Lin Fan can't do it, if Datang is close to extinction now, he will choose another country, take his family, and live his own free life, who will die with you, based on the morality of friends, the most is to come to your grave to worship you on the annual sacrifice day.

Deeply influenced by the indifferent city of later generations, his thinking has been deeply rooted, will not be because he lived a happy life in the Tang Dynasty for a few years, and came into contact with those heroes, he will change his initial thoughts, a person, once the thought is fixed, it is difficult to change, the outlook on life, morality, and world view have been formed, will there be too much change because of the changes of the times?

"There are strange things every year, there are a lot of them this year, I didn't expect that Kang Sumi, a close general of Jieli, would actually come to my camp, and they all said that they would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, say, what's the matter with me?" Lin Fan didn't get up, leaned lazily on the bed, glanced at Kang Sumi lightly, and continued to bury his head in reading "Zhuangzi", reading books before going to bed is his routine.

Kang Sumi bowed down and said: "Honorable Hou Ye, Kang Sumi came here to ask you for something, this matter has been bothering me for a long time, and I want to ask you to help solve my doubts." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Fan glanced at Kang Sumi with some curiosity, what confusion could this surrenderer have, he was curious, but he just asked lightly: "If you have any doubts, let's talk about it first, if I can really help you anything, I won't be stingy and not help you." ”

Kang Sumi's face was overjoyed, and he bent down excitedly to tear open the box he had just brought in, and when Huang Ling was torn off, a crystal clear square jade seal appeared in front of the two, this jade seal was a little flawed, missing a corner, it was made up with gold, the gold swaying was obviously incompatible with the crystal clear white jade, a little conspicuous, I don't know what kind of seal this is, so strange, this is the first time Lin Fan has encountered this kind of mutilated seal, could it be that this seal is very important, and it is still made up with gold if it is broken?

"What kind of seal is this, and why is it broken?"

"Lin Hou, this is not an ordinary seal."

Kang Sumi smiled slightly: "This is the heirloom jade seal. ”

"Jade seal? Whose jade seal? Lin Fan was puzzled, put down the "Zhuangzi" in his hand, took the jade seal handed over by Kang Sumi, looked left and right, and gently stroked it, there was a feeling of rubbing, this jade seal is really exquisite.

When Lin Fan admired the jade seal, Kang Sumi did not immediately answer Lin Fan's question, seeing that he didn't know anything about the jade seal, so he explained to him the origin of the jade seal.

This jade seal comes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when the Chu people Bian and obtained the beautiful jade to the King of Chu Wen, carved into the wall, this wall is warm in winter and cool in summer, mosquitoes and flies are not close within a hundred steps, it is a rare treasure of great value, after Qin unified China, this wall was obtained by Qin Shi Huang.

The first emperor made it carved into a jade seal, engraved with the book of Li Si "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", and then carved with five dragon patterns, exquisitely clear, ingenious and heavenly, the first emperor loved it and regarded it as a divine object. Later, after the Han Dynasty destroyed Qin, this wall fell into the hands of Liu Bang, and Liu Bang passed it down from generation to generation as a jade seal for twelve generations.

Until the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the two-year-old infant ascended the throne, hiding the jade seal in the Changle Palace, when Wang Mang usurped power, Wang Mang wanted to coerce the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan to hand over the jade seal, the Empress Dowager did not follow, and took out the jade seal in a fit of anger and fell to the ground, and dropped a corner of it.

Wang Mang saw that the jade seal was damaged, sighed repeatedly, and hurriedly recruited a skilled craftsman to repair it, the craftsman was also smart, and came up with a strange trick of using gold to inlay the missing corners, and after repairing, it was even more dazzling, so it was called "gold inlaid jade seal". ”

Kang Sumi paused and said: "This gold inlaid jade seal was passed to the original Empress Xiao of Sui, Empress Xiao was worried that taking this jade seal back to Chang'an would be mistaken for a scheming intention, so she handed over this jade seal to me, but I didn't dare to hold this important jade seal, I am a person who died in the country, and it is really inappropriate to hold this jade seal, so I want to ask Lin Hou to help solve this confusion of mine." ”

Lin Fan smiled faintly: "You said that I would help you solve your doubts, in fact, you just want me to keep this jade seal, why do you think I am suitable for holding a jade seal?" There are so many people in the barracks, so many bigwigs don't look for me, but they come to me, do you think I'm more easy-going and easy to talk to? ”

Kang Sumi smiled bitterly: "Relatively speaking, Lin Hou is much more suitable than me, as for not helping others, I think Lin Hou should also know that they look down on me, how can they help me if they despise me so much." ”

Lin Fan sighed, a little helpless, the ghost thing of the jade seal of the country, as long as it is a courtier, whoever gets involved is unlucky, even if you don't have a little covetousness, it will always be suspicious in the eyes of the emperor, and if you don't get the life of the whole family, it will be over, this guy just doesn't please other Tang soldiers in the military camp, they look down on this kind of betrayal, so Kang Sumi can only go to Lin Fan.

His idea is good, and his thinking is correct, in fact, the most suitable person in the military camp to carry the heirloom jade seal is Lin Fan. Because he is a person who is closer to the royal relationship, he can't look at the credit at this time, the more accomplished the hero and the jade seal, the faster he will die, this is absolutely the truth, on the contrary, the more non-heroic and this thing has little to do with it, maybe there will be a heavy reward.

This is a hot potato, Kang Sumi wants to give it to Lin Fan now, but unfortunately Lin Fan is not much interested in this, he doesn't dare to take risks, although Boss Li treats him well, although he has not reached the point of being a master now, and he does not have the strength to rebel, but having this kind of heirloom jade seal also means that he has the heart of the Son of Heaven, Boss Li is not a magnanimous person, he can give you food and give you a title, but if there is a person who wants to compete with him for the throne, he will take off your head mercilessly, There are also descendants of your family who are close to you, to prevent them from competing for the throne, he can attack his own brother, and there is no reason not to attack a foreign courtier.

This risk can't be taken, even if you hold the jade seal and give this jade seal to Boss Li, maybe he will be very happy that this legendary gold inlaid jade seal will fall into his hands at that time, but it is difficult to guarantee what he will do to you later, if you are strong in the future, he will be afraid and suspicious, oh, you held the jade seal of the country a long time ago, is this a long time ago I was ready to rebel, at this time one or two villains, in front of him to offer a sentence.

"Ah, Your Majesty is not good, this person has held the jade seal of the country a long time ago, which means that he has the qualifications of the Son of Heaven, he is going to compete with His Majesty for the throne, seeing that his strength is so high now, it shows this, and it will be too late if this person is not removed."

So, at this time, he will find an excuse or convict you, come on, all over the house, the emperor wants to convict the courtiers is very simple, create something to frame you, it is difficult for you not to die, since ancient times, there has not been an emperor who wants a courtier to die and cannot achieve the goal.

Lin Fan handed over the heirloom jade seal to Kang Sumi: "I'm sorry, I can't help with this." ”

Kang Sumi hurriedly said: "Lin Hou, you have to help, if you don't help, my life will end in Chang'an, since I betrayed Jieli Khan, I just want to have a place to live in Datang, if I still inevitably die in the end, how can I surrender at that time, you have to help me, I still want to live a few more years・・・・・・"

"Knowing this, why did you take this hot potato in the first place." Lin Fan said lightly, he really didn't want to listen to a big old man crying in front of him.

"I can't help it."

Kang Sumi let out a long sigh and said, "I show my sincerity in rescuing Empress Xiao and her grandson, I have already rescued them from suffering, and I can't bear to let them fall into another desperate situation." ”

Lin Fan smiled and said: "You are a good person, but I am not, I cherish my life and my family's life, I will not do this kind of thing... ”

Kang Sumi's face was bitter: "But I can't find anyone who can help with this." ”

Lin Fan was silent for a while, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Actually, you don't have to ask anyone for help, you can let it go back wherever this heirloom jade seal comes from." ”

Kang Sumi said with a bitter face: "Now that Empress Xiao and her grandson have returned to Chang'an, how can I return this jade seal to her・・・・・・

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "Could it be that Lin Hou means that I will return this thing to Empress Xiao after returning to Chang'an?" So, it seems to work. ”

Lin Fan shook his head and said helplessly: "Why don't you want to think about it, if you go to Chang'an and you give the heirloom jade seal to Empress Xiao, do you think she will accept it, since she handed over this hot potato to you, she will definitely not come back, if you give it to her, she will admit it?" She is afraid that she will be suspicious of the emperor because of her special identity and the jade seal of the country, so she threw it to you, you still go back now, I dare to guarantee that she will not only not accept it, but may also accuse the emperor of your disloyalty to holding the jade seal, and then... You will only die faster, a person who has just surrendered has a bad heart, and the emperor would rather kill the wrong one than let one go. ”

Kang Sumi's face was anxious, and he said hurriedly: "What can I do, I am not suitable to take back to Chang'an, I still want to live a few more years・・・・・・"

Lin Fan waved his hand, Kang Sumi stopped crying, and he said lightly: "This heirloom jade seal is composed of white jade and gold, both of which come from nature, since they come from nature, let them return to nature, this is their best destination." ”

"That's right."

Kang Sumi slapped his thigh happily and said excitedly: "This heirloom jade seal was originally made of a piece of beautiful jade picked up by the people of the Chu country, and the gold that made up for the deficiency was also dug out of the gold mine... Lin Hou You are really smart, you would actually come up with such a way, haha, I will find a place where no one will bury this thing, since this is a harmful person, then let it return to nature." ”

"Lin Hou really thank you so much, please accept my worship, this kindness will be double in return!"

Lin Fan smiled and didn't take this seriously, after Kang Sumi left, he only sighed slightly, it's a pity that such a good thing has been buried in the world since then, but it was born in the wrong place, born in the royal family, it is an ominous thing, and people who are not emperors want to abandon it.

"The gentleman has something to do and not to do, and the villain has also done and not done. However, what a gentleman does is a great task from heaven, and what a villain does, only his own interests are Tu'er. The gentleman is ordered by the sky, and he has a long way to go, and the villain avoids it when he encounters trouble, and does not do anything without gain, and does nothing. Therefore, the gentleman, take responsibility, accept the order in danger, take responsibility for himself, and blame him, and he will have great success. ”

Confucius's thinking is very suitable for the current Lin Fan, he doesn't think he is a gentleman, nor is he a villain, he is just an ordinary person, he loves himself and his family, so what he does today is not what he does, it has nothing to do with a gentleman or a villain, he can't be a gentleman who can achieve great things, and he can't be a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he just loves his family.
