Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Generation Gap

"Brother Yuanzhi, don't you have a way to save your father?" Pan Zijun's face swelled with hope.

Shi Wei didn't answer, but said silently: "We have to think about the way slowly, for now, let's find a way to visit Master Pan in the prison and listen to what he has to say." ”

In the face of this situation, this is the only way.

Although Pan You has been an official in the court for many years, because of his upright surname, his personal connections are very ordinary.

That Pan Zijun wanted to visit in prison, but he couldn't get in because of his own connections, so he still had to come forward with Shi Wei, and with the help of his face as the deputy envoy of the imperial hospital, he could get in.

When I met Pan You, it was already three days later.

When Pan Zijun saw his father, he was naturally anxious and sad when he was a child.

As for Pan You, although he was in prison and his life and death were uncertain, his mentality was much calmer than before, and instead of complaining, he patiently comforted Pan Zijun, so that he didn't have to be too sad.

After the father and son spoke, Pan You said: "Zijun, you go back first, take care of your sister, don't let her worry, I still have a few words to say to Yuanzhi." ”

"Father, then you have to take care of yourself, the child will definitely try to save you."

Pan Zijun wiped away his tears and reluctantly left the prison.

In the empty and cold prison, only the two of them remained.

Shi Wei saw that there was no one around, so he said in a low voice: "Master Pan is so relaxed, it seems that he has a plan to get out, I don't know if there is anything to help in the later life?" ”

Pan You smiled and said: "The old man was personally ordered by His Majesty to be sent to the prison, unless His Majesty changes his mind, otherwise there will be any way to get out." ”

Pan You's words made Shi Wei feel more and more puzzled.

His mind flipped and he pondered for a moment, and suddenly he seemed to understand something.

Shi Wei looked at Pan You, frowned, and said, "Lord Pan, if you are not wrong in your later life, now Your Majesty has sent you to the heavenly prison, which is exactly what you wanted." ”

Pan You's figure was shocked at first, and then his eyes couldn't help but show approval.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he sighed: "The old man's vision of knowing people is really right, Yuanzhi, you have insight into the world, the world is big, only you can see through the old man's mind." ”

And so it was.

Shi Wei couldn't help but wonder: "Master Pan, what are you doing this for?" ”

Pan You stroked his white beard and said unhurriedly: "As the so-called Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness." What I Pan You said today is to follow the teachings of the saints, sacrifice my life and take righteousness, and win a name that will go down in history and be remembered for centuries. ”

Sacrifice your life for righteousness!

Suddenly, Shi Wei understood Pan You's intentions.

It turns out that this Pan You has such a high realm, or in modern technical terms, it is called "historical confinement surname".

"Today, the Northern Song Dynasty is eyeing the country, and the period of southern invasion is approaching, but the officials up and down in the Tang Dynasty are only bent on self-preservation. Since everyone is waiting to be a minister of the country, then the person who sacrificed his life for righteousness, let me Pan You do it, I can leave a mark in history, and I Pan You will also die without shock. ”

After listening to these generous words, Shi Wei knew that he was ready to die generously, and any way to rescue him or anything like that was a floating cloud.

After being silent for a while, he asked again: "Lord Pan's generous death is certainly a fulfillment of his wish, but have you ever thought about who will take care of Brother Zijun and Miss Zisu if you go?" ”

At this time, Pan You's generous expression faded a little, and he sighed: "Zijun is weak and doesn't like to be an official, after I leave, the family business left to him is enough for him to enjoy a lifetime, the only thing I can't rest assured about now is the little girl Shisu." ”

After a pause, Pan You suddenly took Shi Wei's hand and said in a pleading tone: "Yuanzhi, I will entrust the shisu to you, I hope you can take good care of her." ”

"Master Pan, you are ......" Shi Wei was a little surprised by Pan You's sudden entrustment, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Pan You sighed: "Zisu's vision is very high, she can appreciate the person she loves, you are the only one in the entire Southern Tang Kingdom, how can I not see her heart for you." ”

Okay, you people, either entrust your sister or your daughter to me, all of them are entrusted with life and death, so I have no room to return it at all.

"Master Pan, Miss Zisu is a daughter, and I, Shi Wei, am just a little man from the countryside, I'm just afraid that it will be difficult to bear this heavy trust." Shi Wei tactfully expressed his difficulty.

Pan You said happily: "The people of the national weapon, most of them come from the countryside, with your talent and medical skills, you will never be in the pool in the future, this old man is convinced." ”

A small thing like Xiong Qingye said that he had a bright future, and a big man like Pan You also said that he was a man of national weapons, Shi Wei knew that his identity was extraordinary, but what he thought was nothing more than a chic and happy life.

It's just that for the sake of Pan You's appreciation, and now it's in this environment, Shi Wei has no reason to refuse.

At that moment, he took a deep breath and said: "Master Pan attaches so much importance to the late life, and the late life also makes a promise here, as long as I Shi Wei is here, I will never let Miss Zisu suffer a little grievance." ”

Hearing Shi Wei's promise, Pan You was relieved, and said with a smile: "If you say this, the old man can die with confidence and generosity, haha-"

"Alas, it's better to die than to live, it seems that there is really a generation gap between us......"

Bidding farewell to Pan You, he got out of the prison, and when he saw Pan Zijun, Shi Wei did not tell him Pan You's words.

As an outsider, Shi Wei can naturally follow Pan You's wish and watch him die for the sake of history, but Pan Zijun, a son, cannot watch his father die.

At the moment, he only comforted Pan Zijun once, and then said goodbye and went home.

When he entered the door, a fragrant smell came to his nose, and Lilac had already made a table of good dishes, waiting for him to return.

"Childe is back." Lilac hurriedly stepped forward to take off his coat for him and dusted off the snow stains on his body.

Fan Peilan took a bowl of steaming soup and said with a smile: "Yuanzhi, hurry up and drink the soup to warm up your body." ”

Shi Wei put down the soup bowl, looked around at the family members, and said solemnly: "After eating this meal, you should quickly clean up, and in a few days, we are afraid that we will leave Jinling City." ”

Everyone was shocked.

After glancing at each other, Fan Peilan said with a puzzled face: "Yuanzhi, we are having a prosperous life, why do you suddenly want to leave the capital again, don't you want to be an imperial doctor?" ”

A group of women and Taoists, where do they know a lot, Shi Wei can't explain the current situation to them in detail.

"Master Pan was imprisoned, with my relationship with the Pan family, once Lord Pan falls, there will inevitably be many people against me, the capital is a place of right and wrong, we have to go, as for the imperial doctor in that area, don't do it."

This is the best excuse that Shi Wei can find, in fact, the most fundamental reason is that loyal ministers like Pan You have fallen, the pillars of the Southern Tang Dynasty have been lost, and the Southern Expedition of the Northern Song Dynasty is expected to come soon.

As a modern person with a sense of foresight, Shi Wei is keenly aware that it is time to go.

His voice fell, but he heard someone behind him: "No, no, Brother Yuanzhi, the more times like this, the more you can't go." ”
