Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Wu Shu. The Biography of Qiao Ren

"Father!" Qiao Ren was in a hurry, regardless of being in the middle of the city, rode a fast horse all the way back to his home, and as soon as he pushed open the door, he shouted and rushed to the courtyard where Qiao Yu was.

"What's the roar, the old man is not dead yet!" Qiao Yu actually sat upright on the cushion, holding a wine bottle in his hand, although his face was bloodless, his expression looked very good.

Qiao Ren didn't know why such a word popped up in his mind, Qiao Yu in front of him was very similar to Qiao Ren's childhood memory, when Qiao Xuan had just died, Qiao Yu had just moved to Lujiang, that was Qiao Yu was so free and easy, known as quite a father's style.

"Father!" Master Qiao, a man in his forties, still looks like a good child, sitting opposite Qiao Yu in a proper manner, and scooping a scoop of wine for Qiao Yu.

"It's no longer good to be a father." Qiao Yu picked up the wine bottle, and opened his mouth to beat Qiao Ren with a dull stick.

"Father, what nonsense. There are also two thousand-year-old ginseng from Sanhan in the house, Tianshan Snow Lotus from the Qiang people, and the rest of the deer antler velvet and rhino horns, and the child went to ask Brother Huang Shi to prescribe a decoction for his father. Qiao Ren hurriedly blocked Qiao Yu's mouth, although he was not superstitious, he could not be free and easy to the point of talking about life and death at will.

"You, you really don't look like the people of our Qiao family. The old man is too old, and he has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, hehe, I want to come this time is the limit. Ziyan doesn't have to worry about the old man anymore! ”

It makes sense for Qiao Yu to say that Qiao Ren is not like a person from the Qiao family, Qiao Ren's grandfather Qiao Xuan can make fun of things behind him, and Qiao Yu can also look down on life and death, but Qiao Ren can't let go for a long time. You must know that when Qiao Xuan died, Qiao Yu, who was only thirty years old, drank face-to-face with him until Qiao Xuan left with a smile.

"Although the child has been learning the Tao for many years, he still can't see through this life and death." Qiao Ren lowered his head, he knew that Qiao Yu just didn't want him to be overly sad about his death.

"Do you know, why do you have a single name?" Qiao Yu's voice was not at all like an old man who was about to die, but was full of vitality.

Qiao Ren shook his head, thinking to himself how I could know this name, but he replied respectfully: "I don't know." ”

"Hehe, your ancestor is a single name and a benevolent character, and he is the author of forty-nine chapters of "Chapters and Sentences of the Book of Rites", which is called "Qiaojun Learning" by the people of the time. When the first Han Dynasty became emperor, he served as the Great Honglu, and the hope of my Qiao family began here. Your name was taken by your grandfather when he was alive, and your grandfather said, 'The upper and lower blind dates are called benevolence, benevolence, and affection is good for lovers, so the two of them are benevolent.' A benevolent word to exhaust the foundation of my way, can be called the extreme of morality, if you have a son will be named benevolence, one is to hope that the benevolent can love others, but hope to open up the prosperity of my family like the ancestors. ’”

"I see!" Qiao Ren understood that the word benevolence represented his grandfather's high hopes and expectations for him.

Qiao Yu nodded, looked at Qiao Ren's forty-year-old and thirty-year-old face, and smiled: "You really haven't changed." Do you think you've lived up to your grandfather's expectations? ”

"The child doesn't dare to say that he can do it, but it has reached seven or eight times out of ten." Qiao Ren nodded solemnly and admitted it very simply.

Qiao Yu drank another bottle of wine and said with a smile: "You are simple, not too modest is also a kind of self-knowledge." Although you have been on the campaign since you were sixteen years old, and now you are in your early forties, and you have been fighting for nearly 30 years, you have not changed your heart of benevolence, and your father is very comforted by the embodiment of benevolence in both the expedition and the government. Speaking of meritorious deeds, many ancestors of my Qiao family are not as good as you, who could have known that there would be a king in my family!! ”

"Father, it's too much." Rao is Qiao Ren's age, and he was praised by Qiao Yu almost red-faced, although what Qiao Yu said was the truth, but being said by others and being praised by his father are two different things.

"But now you're standing on the edge of a cliff without knowing it." Qiao Yu said in a serious tone: "Since the Han Dynasty, the disasters of relatives have continued, especially Ji Han is the most. Ma, Dou, Deng, Liang, and why are they now safe? You are already a very popular minister, and you are actually the head of the heroes, Xiao He and Han Xin's examples can't help but be guarded. ”

Qiao Ren sighed in his heart, and secretly thought that it would be difficult for Sun Ce to really do something to him, otherwise how could he even see Qiao Yu, who was ignoring political affairs. "I don't know what my father means?"

"Ziyan knows the origin of my surname Qiao." Qiao Yu sold a pass, and he didn't say it directly, but talked about the surname Qiao.

"Son, I don't know!!"

Qiao Yu pointed to the sword on Qiao Ren's waist and said: "In ancient times, when there were three emperors and five emperors, my surname Qiao originated from the surname Ji, and he was a descendant of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. His Majesty the Yellow Emperor reigned for a hundred years and collapsed, at the age of 110 years ......, buried in the bridge mountain of Yangzhou, Shangjun. My ancestor Ji Hao was ordered to guard Qiaoshan, and the residence was renamed Bridge in the later era. (The surname of the bridge was changed to the surname Qiao in the Northern Wei Dynasty, here is Qiao, the same word as the bridge) However, the guardian of my family is not the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, but the imperial sword cast by His Majesty from the bronze of the first mountain. Ay! Qiao Yu patted his head and said in annoyance: "It's too much, there are these ancestral bamboo slips of the Xin Miwu family, do you know what the old man has to tell you about this?" ”

To be honest, Qiao Ren really didn't know if the Imperial Sword that Qiao Ren was thinking about now was the Xuanyuan Sword that Qiao was guarding in his heart. It's no wonder that Qiao Ren originally didn't believe in the Xuanyuan Sword, but he wore Wu Zixu's Seven-Star Longyuan Sword, and Qiao Xun also had the Pure Jun Sword, and the Xuanyuan Sword of the ancient era did not necessarily exist.

You must know that the Xuanyuan Sword is a legendary divine weapon, also known as the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, which is a sword of the Holy Dao. The bronze of the first mountain by the gods was cast by the Yellow Emperor, and later passed on to Xia Yu. One side of the sword body is engraved with the moon and stars, and the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers and plants. On the hilt of the sword, the art of farming and animal husbandry is written, and the policy of unification of the four seas is written on the other. This sword was obtained by Shang Tang and defeated the three evil swords of ancient times. The three evil knives of ancient times are not a myth, and there is a record in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations, "In the second year of Zhongping, Li Dao dug up three knives, and the inscription said that the dragon teeth, tiger wings, dog gods, and the three knives were often served", and the Miao knife was made according to these three knives, it is said.

Just when Qiao Ren was thinking about it, Qiao Yu's question startled Qiao Ren, and then he replied: "The child is stupid." ”

"You're not stupid, you're too shrewd." Qiao Yu's voice began to change, "The reason why our ancestors of the Qiao clan chose to guard the tomb for a sword is why you can't guess it. The old man wants you to send the old man to Lujiang for burial after the old man dies, to avoid this imminent Jianye. ”

"Father, don't talk nonsense." Qiao Ren was so shocked that he almost jumped up and hurriedly said, "Father? ”

At this time, the wine bottle in Qiao Yu's hand slowly overturned, and the wine was slowly poured on the white underwear, Qiao Yu's hand gradually lost its strength, and with Qiao Ren's gaze, the wine bottle fell.

"Father!" Qiao Ren hurriedly flicked his fingers on Qiao Yu's wrist, but did not feel the expected beat, Qiao Ren then knew that his old father had driven west and left him forever. Qiao Ren suddenly retreated, sat on the seat with his ass, and his eyes looked so hollow.

"Father!" At this time, Qiao Qian rushed in, she had to come to play with Qiao Yu for a while, but when she entered the door, she saw his father sitting on the throne with a dull face, and Qiao Yu opposite Qiao Ren sat there and slept peacefully.

"Qian'er!" Qiao Ren finally came back to his senses and grabbed Qiao Qian's sleeve and said, "Your grandfather is asleep, let's not disturb him, okay?" ”

In mid-April 226, Qiao Yu died in Jianye. (To be continued.) )
