Huangzhai Township is the former Huangzhai Capital, the Zhong family's house is located in the west of Baicheng, across the river is the Peng family's hometown. A stone brick boulevard leaps over the river in the form of a crescent stone arch bridge, connecting the two banks. Looking east, two or three miles away, the White City hidden in the deep forest is clearly visible.

This is the White City, the White City is the former residence of the emperor, the retirement home of a large group of founding fathers, and the highest school of Heavenly Dao is also here. To be able to get a house outside of the White City, you can't do it with money alone. I don't know what kind of trouble the old man took to get it, just so that he could die in his hometown, be buried in the Baicheng Tianmiao Cemetery, and be able to get rid of the nobility of the fathers of the country under the nine springs.

It's good to die, it's good to die, although I didn't take revenge after all, but as soon as you die, I can change my name......

Zhong Sanri turned his mind to rebel, his heart was raised, and he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when there was a squeak, and the courtyard door opened.

"I ...... I am back. ”

Looking at the old man in the door who was sitting in a wheelchair, with gray hair and a lot of thinness, but his spirit was still good, Zhong Sanri's whole person was completely relaxed in an instant, and he didn't die......

The sour heat was rolling in his eyes, and a strong urge pushed him to rush to the wheelchair and kneel down, but he held back, his eyes swept over the top of the other party's head, stiffened his face, and said lightly.

The other party was also a flurry, and his face changed in an instant, almost the same as Zhong Sanri, and his response was also faint: "Oh, I'm back, then come with me." ”

The wheelchair was pushed by Zhong Sanri's mother, and when he bowed to his mother, Zhong Sanri said in his heart that I didn't worship you, but his head involuntarily tilted towards the old man, making the old man's face difficult to maintain, and finally pulled up a smile.

"Your dad had a serious illness in Coral State last year and almost died, and after that he clamored to go back here. Now he is clamoring to go back to Coral State, thinking that the boss of the Xu family has already brought you news, and he is afraid that you will run the wrong way, so he has been waiting here. ”

Zhong Sanri's mother is very aware of the mustard of father and son. The opening is the words that sew up the feelings.

"Tossing back and forth, when money is not money......"

Zhong Sanri subconsciously counted his father, and the words used were also the tradition of the Zhong family.

"I've been in Europa for a few years, and I haven't seen any progress! I'm here for you. For the sake of the Zhong family......"

Zhong Shangwei spoke, his face was deep, very different from his previous temperament.

Then the conversation changed, and the true colors of the Zhong family were suddenly revealed: "You three brothers, no one can make me worry, I have to work hard for you when I am alive, and I have to earn an extra old capital for you when I die!" ”

The meaning of this is clear. After his death, he was able to settle in the Baicheng Tianmiao Cemetery, which was also a political capital for the Zhong family. The cemetery is full of founding fathers, not to mention anything else, just sweeping the tomb and offering sacrifices, you will have the opportunity to contact the old family of Guozhongxun, which is to pave the future of the Zhong family with their own posterity.

Zhong Sanri's heart was surging, and Zhong Shangwei said: "You are also twenty-five this year, and you haven't started a family yet." Unfilial piety should also be a little temperate! I have already booked the daughter of the Peng family's side branch with you, and while I am not dead, I will do it as soon as possible. ”

A sour emotion suddenly turned into fiery anger. Zhong Sanri was so angry that he almost jumped like thunder, old man, you are so anxious to harm me!? I told you a long time ago that you are in charge of marriage!

Seeing that Zhong Sanri's face changed greatly, her mother hurriedly said: "This thing hasn't been done yet, the daughter of the Peng family is only seventeen years old and is still in middle school, the Peng family said, how can you let the two of you meet first, after all, it is not the old world, and the marriage must be ......happy with the children."

Zhong Shangwei snorted. muttered: "Now in this world, just this bit of annoyance, this person, just run to grow up unfilial!" ”

You didn't force it!?

Hearing that this matter was not decided, Zhong Sanri breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to his father complain so much. He also muttered to himself.

The wheelchair was walking on the stone road, even if there were rubber wheels, it was bumpy, and he didn't go far, Zhong Shangwei complained about why the road had not been changed to a cement road, and at the same time he supported the wheelchair and walked forward with the help of Zhong Sanri's mother.

Seeing that his father's arms, legs and feet were still dexterous, and his complexion was also good, Zhong Sanri asked, "What disease did you get last year?" ”

His mother sighed: "Your father has traveled all over the world in the second half of his life, and I don't know how many diseases he has left behind. ”

Zhong Sanri frowned, heart disease? He is indeed an irresponsible person, and his early career was to hug the thighs of the Peng family. After starting a business, he hugged Fang Wu's thigh in Tianzhu and Li Shun and Wang Zhiyan's thigh in Coral Prefecture, so he didn't have the heart to take care of things alone. But being able to see the thighs and hug them is also a skill. has experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past few decades, but has climbed up again and again, stubbornness is not something ordinary people can have, and it is by no means a rat guts, how can he be so overwhelmed by heart disease that he almost warped?

"The year before last, Concubine Shu was sick, and in the middle of last year, Concubine De was sick again, the emperor was seriously ill, and your father was also sick......"

Zhong Sanri's mother sighed in a low voice, Zhong Sanri's eyebrows curled, what do you mean? In my impression, the old man is afraid and respectful of His Majesty the Emperor, and he is always afraid that if his old man's mind falls on him, he will descend to the unpredictable heaven, and if he wants to say that he has a heart disease, this is the heaviest thing. As far as the facts are concerned, if the emperor dies, the old man should breathe a sigh of relief.

As he spoke, he was close to the periphery of Baicheng, and there were more and more pedestrians on the road, in addition to the residents of Baicheng and the students of Baicheng Academy, there were also black-clad police officers patrolling in groups. Zhong Shangwei looked into the distance, as if he was looking for something. Occasionally, when a team of red and black figures appeared, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he could see clearly that it was just a student of the Baicheng Military Academy, and his eyes dimmed again.

"Dad, what are you doing ......?"

Zhong Sanri finally couldn't help but ask, could it be that the old man wandered around every day, did he want to ...... Knock on the stump?

"Long live the Lord has won the throne of Tianzhu again, this is a good thing, but as the saying goes, prosperity and decline, I think I was mining coal in Jiaozhi back then......"

In the Zhong family's house, more than 20 people from three generations of the family gathered together, not only the eldest and second had children, but several of Zhong Sanri's sisters were mothers. Women and children chatted and played in the back garden, while sons and sons-in-law listened to the teachings of the bell in the hall.

Zhong Shangwei opened his mouth and talked about the question that Zhong Sanri had raised earlier.

“…… I don't want to mention the past, why was I seriously ill last year, and why don't I want to die here now? It's all because of me...... I'm afraid. ”

Zhong Shangwei revisited his own history, from the coal in Jiaozhi to the coal group in the south of the Yangtze River, from the copper mines and gold in Coral Prefecture, to the colonial business in Tianzhu, and finally changed the conversation and threw out the word "afraid", which made Zhong Sanri and others have a big jump in their hearts.

"I will live to be eighty years old. can still have children and grandchildren, and the family business is successful, I can't believe it. I once asked the monk how this wealth came about. The monk said that I was heavy enough to accumulate yin virtue in my previous life, but I didn't believe it. ”

"I will not hide it in your presence today, for I also committed iniquity when I was young, and then I received retribution. Since then, I have believed in the present world. I also believe that coal, iron, copper, and gold have to be dug out with a hoe and a hoe. The fields have to be opened up one acre after another, and although I have borrowed the strength of many people, the wealth that falls on me is all earned by myself. And this wealth, even if there is blood and sweat, it is squeezing outsiders, not the old folks. ”

"But the world can't say anything about it, so let's say Concubine De. Everyone knows who she is, she has saved many people, but she is suddenly ill. It's less than seventy, it stands to reason that God is not too much to give her a 100-year-old life, what is this reporting? ”

"I asked the sacrifice of the Heavenly Temple, and the sacrifice said that between God and man, there is still a layer of the times, that is, the old and new worlds. In the new world, God is right, promoting good and suppressing evil, but the new world is made by man. There are always repetitions, not that the old world is gone forever. ”

Zhong Shangwei's eyes were deep, as if the scenes of the past few decades were passing in front of him, "At that time, I suddenly realized that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil." This present newspaper can only stand up in the new world. I can earn wealth by relying on my own ability, and I can rely on respecting God, not to do it, and I don't dare to do those evil things in the old world, so that I can live to be eighty years old and spread out my leaves, which is all blessed by the new world at this time. ”

He looked at his son and son-in-law: "I have repeatedly warned you that you must have a bottom line as a person, and you must leave three points of leeway in your work, and it is better to earn a hundred taels with others than to earn a thousand taels by harming others." These words didn't work in the old world, in the old world, if you didn't climb the official master, you wouldn't be able to get rich and rich, and if you wanted to climb the official master, then you would have to hurt people. But why did it work in the New World? That's because the God of this new world is upright. Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that it is not repaid, the time has not yet come, God is really here in the new world. I don't know what the way of heaven and the spirit of heaven and man, and the priests explain these things like this, and I understand. ”

Then a thick worry rose on his face: "But just like the sacrifice said, God can be right, it is the result of our creation of a new world, so who created this new world?" Of course, it's Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord keeps saying that everyone made it together, but everyone knows that without Long Live Lord leading the way, how can everyone get to where it is now? ”

"Last year, Concubine De was born, and the Long Live Lord was also sick under the grief, don't look at the Long Live Lord who has faded out of the government, our British Celestial Dynasty does not have Long Live Lord, it seems to be the same turn, when the war should be fought, the field should be farmed, but everyone has a cold air in their hearts. I thought it through, and the cold came into my heart, and that's how the illness came. ”

"It's not just me who is afraid, I think many people are afraid, afraid that once the Long Live Lord is gone, how will this new world change? Yes, the prince is steady, he has been in government for many years, and our British have also set up God, so that everyone can benefit. But Long Live Lord is like a pillar in our hearts, if this pillar collapses, what will happen to this country? Will God be covered again? Everyone has no bottom in their hearts. ”

Zhong Shangwei's words caused his sons and sons-in-law to nod their heads, this worry has been there since the founding of the Yinghua country, in the era of foreign competition, it is not serious, with the establishment of the country's various new systems, the national system has gradually stabilized, and the worries have gradually dissipated. But after the Northern Expedition, this worry began to surface again, and the reason was also an old topic that lasted for thousands of years: how to make this country not change its color?

The so-called "country" is also the national system, Yinghua's current national system, there is a righteous righteousness, although it is not satisfied, but it can still reflect the political system of this righteousness, it is not absolutely just, but it is generally fair. As Zhong Shangwei said, God is right, and everyone can benefit. However, when external interests gradually ceased to be the first issue of the state, and the importance of how to distribute internal profits gradually overpowered, the problems of the political system were constantly exposed, and the contradictions gradually became acute.

With the founding Emperor of the Holy Dao, these contradictions are not a big problem, but what about the Emperor of the Holy Dao? The Yinghua state system is the country of the monarch and the people, and it is impossible for the prince to take over the throne, and it is impossible to suppress a country, whether it is a change in the political system, or the prince wants to overstep the throne to control the chaos, it means that the system opened by the Emperor of the Holy Dao has changed greatly, and the righteousness of the country can still be protected at that time?

Zhong Sanri said loudly: "The righteousness has been established, everyone knows that God is above, so they are not afraid of any changes, Dad, you are worried about the sky." ”

Zhong Shangwei shook his head: "Good people don't get along with each other doesn't mean that there are no disputes, and chaos doesn't have to be a dispute between good and evil." You haven't been in the country for the past few years, and you don't know a lot of changes in the country. Why is Malacca chaotic? It is said that it was the Liaison Council and the Privy Council that competed for power in Malacca, and as a result, they connived at the Siamese Zheng family and the Songkhla Wu family. Why did Luzon produce a big basket? In fact, it is related to the dispute between the East and the West. ”

"These messes are still outside, why did Concubine Shu die the year before last? It was because he went to Us-Tibet to mediate the dispute between Mongolia and Tibet in the past forty years. Behind the dispute between Mongolia and Tibet, there was a chaos among the Mongolian people, and the chaos of the Mongolian people was caused by the dispute between the courtyard and the court over the division of provinces. And the northern provinces have also quarreled in the courtyard for many years because of the subsidy, and everything has been involved......"

Concubine Shu is the princess of Dzungar Baoyin, coupled with the death of Concubine De, it is really a big blow to the affectionate Emperor of the Holy Dao, no wonder she fell ill. Thinking of the lion and tiger dispute on the train, the people can only be flesh and blood, Zhong Sanri also sighed with emotion.

Zhong Shangwei talked about the chaos in the country, and his worry was even heavier: "The newspapers all say that our British is advancing because of the times, and we are not afraid of chaos, and now these chaos is also in the town, how can we not collapse." But what should I do if I go? Everyone wants to see what they can do to keep this mess from spreading. ”

Zhong Sanri said: "Dad, you changed your mind and don't want to stay here, just don't want to be noisy below?" ”

After a few bangs, his eldest brother and several sisters-in-law reprimanded him for being unscrupulous, but Zhong Shangwei seemed to be in his heart, and slowly shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that he will change back to the old world in this new world, and someone will dig the grave of this Baicheng, and he will dig it with mine!" ”

Everyone was speechless, and after a long time, Zhong Sanri said: "Even if my father returns to Coral State, the world will really change back to the old world, and my father will be able to be peaceful in Coral State?" ”

Zhong Shangwei sighed: "Of course it can't be done, we have lived together as a family for thousands of years, how can we allow other places to be separated?" Even if it is thousands of miles away, there are already steamships, and the army can be transported to Europa, and I heard that there are still some thunderbolts and lightning transmissions, and the news can be transmitted in an instant from thousands of miles away, and there is no such possibility......"

Looking at Zhong Shang, Zhong Sanri's mood was shaky, and a cold air also surged into his heart, really as his father worried, Yinghua Xinshi is worried about collapse, and God will be covered again?

Driving away the heart of the universe in Europa, Zhong Sanri secretly said, this is not impossible, just like the dispute between the officials and the court affairs on the train, the lion and tiger dispute, if the people are really just flesh and blood, there will always be a day, either the lion wins or the tiger wins, at that time, one beast is dominant, and the old world will not come back?

"One link missing! It's time for the last link! ”

In a house somewhere in Tokyo, there is still a wheelchair, and an old man is struggling to write.

"This ring is still on the emperor's top, if the emperor is gone, the new emperor can't stand it, or wants to stand more, it's like the iron wheel has changed, and the train is going to derail!"

The old man was writing and chattering, and an old man next to him was holding a bowl of porridge and listening quietly, with pity flashing in his eyes.

"But how can this ring be repaired? What's the key!? ”

The old man was immersed in thought, and then his face suddenly turned blue, and his whole body shrank.

"Master! Master! ”

The old man next to him was so shocked that he threw away the porridge to protect the old man in the wheelchair.

"No, I can't die! I'm not reconciled! God...... Give me some more time! How can this new world be missing my Yin Zhen's plan, the last link......"

The old man was Ai Yinzhen, who was enduring the pain and shouting unwillingly. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
